The purpose of the runway 16R-34L complex at Denver International Airport (DEN) was to replace the existing runway pavement section which had reached the end of its useful life. The project also changed the finished surface from asphalt to concrete to reduce future maintenance needs and was funded through the Airports’ Enterprise Fund and an FAA Airport Improvement Program grant.

Sunland also performed construction management services including contractor pay applications, submittals, requests for information (RFIs), change management, and weekly meetings.
