Cantonment Area Roads was a Design-Build project that consisted of tying in 2.13 miles of paved and dirt roads from the flightline Hot Cargo Pad to the main taxiway apron on the west end of Biggs Runway at Fort Bliss Army Base in El Paso, TX. The project entailed pulverizing over 4500 SY of existing asphalt pavement, 89,000 SY of clearing and grubbing, site grading, installation of RCP and CMP storm drainage, subgrade prep, and placement of 19,275 TNS of base course, almost 6,500 TNs of asphalt paving, and striping necessary to complete a 36 FT wide roadway. Briston Construction and our designer engineered a roadway profile of 12″ of base course and 4″ of asphalt to meet the 30 year service life specified by the Corp of Engineers.
