Previous Undertakings Led by TCI Principal

Taxiway C Construction at Long Beach Airport

The project included the conversion of the decommissioned Runway 16L-34R pavement to new concrete pavement that was designated as Taxiway C. Existing Taxiway C, currently located directly west of the terminal apron, is the primary means of access to and from aircraft gates for commercial passenger aircrafts. Shifting exiting Taxiway C away from the terminal ramp vicinity alleviated congestion, reduced push-back incidents, and increased operational safety. The project also included the reconfiguration of the airfield geometry “hot spot” at the non-standard Taxiway J crossing of Runway 12-30, which enhanced pilot’s situational awareness and safety. Additional improvements included the construction of new connecting taxiway, grading and drainage improvements, hydro-seeding of graded infield areas, new light-emitting diode (LED) airfield signage and lighting improvements, and taxiway markings.

Long Beach Airport Terminal Area Improvement Project

Long Beach Airport initiated a Terminal Area Improvement Project to enhance customer experience. As part of the project, the Airport intended to implement planned improvements to the terminal area. These improvements includes;

  • Ticketing Facilities/Airlines Operation Offices

  • Outbound Baggage Make-Up Carousel

  • Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Baggage Security Screening

Taxiway E Construction at Long Beach Airport

The project is part of the Airfield Geometry Study (Study) and included the conversion of the decommissioned Runway 16R-34L pavement to new asphalt pavement. Aircraft taxiing southbound on Taxiway B sometimes anticipate reaching their destination parking ramp and fail to hold short of Runway 8R-26L. As recommended in the Study, the project established an offset stagger of Taxiway B north of Taxiway J, to increase the situational awareness of pilots operating on Taxiway B and help mitigate issues that lead to the identification of a hot-spot. The project included the demolition of the decommissioned runway pavements, construction of a new taxiway and taxiway connector, grading and minor drainage improvements, new LED airfield lighting and signage, and relocation of the vehicle service road.
