Anchorage International Airport - Remain Overnight Parking

The Anchorage International Airport is more than 5,000 miles from Hong Kong. It¡¯s more than 3,400 miles from Atlanta. But due to its northern location, it¡¯s an ideal stopping point for large cargo jets flying between Asia and the United States. It is 9 hours from 90% of the world¡¯s population.

Stantec¡¯s engineers have been working at the airport for more than 20 years, designing improvements to make it the No. 2 airport in the US for landed cargo weight and one of the world¡¯s top 5 cargo airports.

The airport turned to Ãë²¥ when it was time to reconstruct eight parking/refueling spots to accommodate larger Boeing 747-8 and Airbus aircraft often used for cargo flights. It took 80,000 tons of asphalt and 14,000 cubic yards of concrete for the upgrade. The project¡¯s two phases included reconstruction of the pavement structural section, catch basins, and storm drain piping; replacement of taxiway edge lighting and new centerline lighting; concrete hardstands; accommodating for the separation of deicing and stormwater drainage fluids; a new snow storage area; and the installation of new fuel hydrants.
