Airport Runway Construction
Fred Smith Company constructs and rehabilitates runways, taxiways, aprons, and other airfield pavements. Our teams bring in-house asphalt production and experienced paving teams to work where safety, quality, and timing leave little room for error.
Built Around Airport Operations
Airfield construction demands careful coordination, strict operational requirements, and a clear understanding of how the work affects the airport around it. Our completed work at Triangle North Executive Airport reflects that approach.
Runways and taxiways must withstand the weight and repeated loading of aircraft traffic. Our teams coordinate each phase around active operations and available work windows, helping maintain progress while minimizing disruption to the airport.
Quality Begins with the Mix
Airfield pavement is built to exact specifications. Producing our own asphalt and testing it throughout production gives our teams close control over the materials used in runway and taxiway construction.
From mix design and production through delivery and placement, our asphalt plants, quality-control laboratories, and paving teams work together to maintain consistency and meet project requirements.
More Than Runways
Runways are only one part of a working airfield. We also construct and rehabilitate taxiways, aprons, shoulders, and other paved areas that keep aircraft and ground operations moving.
Our teams understand how these surfaces work together. That broader perspective helps us coordinate the work carefully and deliver airfield improvements that function as a complete system.
Airfield Construction
Successful airfield construction depends on experienced people and careful coordination with airport operations. We bring those pieces together to safely deliver excellence at every stage of the work.
