Runway Lighting and Controls - Indiana
Transportation | Airport | Indiana
Project Summary
Aldridge executed a contract to install runway lighting and controls at the Indianapolis Airport. The project involved removing existing cables, lights, and FAA equipment from Runway 5R-23L and reinstalling new base cans, lights, and an ALSF lane (Approach Light System with Sequenced Flasher Lights) with updated cables, lights, and an electrical shelter.
Prefabrication played a key role in this project, particularly for the 49 base can threshold bar and light bar foundations for the FAA equipment. These components, essential for providing visual aids to pilots during landing, require precise measurements. Aldridge installed the 245-foot-long threshold bar foundation in one shift using six prefabricated sections of base cans and conduit—a process that typically takes other contractors up to four weeks.
Despite having numerous new tradesmen in the crew, Aldridge effectively onboarded all local craftsmen into our IIF (Incident and Injury-Free) culture, resulting in zero recordable incidents on the project.
Working in a new location alongside other contractors unfamiliar with a project of this scale, Aldridge's meticulous attention to detail, PreFab innovations, and extensive experience in airside and airport runway work ensured the project's success.
