BWI Marshall Runway Intersection Project Honored
February 20, 2012Location: Sparks, Maryland
JMT received an Honor Award from the American Council of
Engineering Companies/Maryland (ACEC/MD) at the ACEC/MD 2012 Awards
Banquet on February 16, 2012, for our efforts as the program
managers for the BWI Marshall Airport Runway Intersection
project. This project also won a Maryland Quality Initiative
Modal Award of Excellence earlier this month.
The Maryland Aviation Administration engaged JMT to assist the
agency in an overall runway safety area enhancement program over
several years. The intersection of Runways 10-28 and 15R-33L
at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport is
the key junction between the two most heavily-used runways at one
of the busiest airports in the country. Rehabilitating this
intersection is a once-in-a-generation effort.
As the Program Manager, JMT was responsible for 'directing
traffic' among all of the participants through multiple conceptual
iterations. Successful execution of this major rehabilitation
while keeping BWI Marshall Airport in operation required more than
two years of constant coordination with numerous stakeholders,
precision adherence to conceptual designs, phasing, and budgets,
innovative design approaches, and an unwavering focus on
safety.
