DISCUSSION:
Runway 16/34 at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Meacham) is composed of aging
pavement. The last non-destructive testing of Runway 16/34 was completed approximately 10 years
ago. The Texas Department of Transportation, Aviation Division (TxDOT) recommends pavement testing
be completed at least once every 10 years or if there is a significant change in airport users. The 2003
testing indicated that a number of rehabilitation measures needed to be taken in order to increase the
usable life of the runway such as select slab replacement, joint sealing, crack and spall repairs. These
repairs are estimated to have extended the usable life of the runway approximately 15 years.

The type and weight of aircrafts that use Meacham have changed significantly in the last 10 years, along
with the frequency of use of Runway 16/34. Boeing 787s and 737s, along with Airbus A-320s use the
landing field at Meacham on a regular basis. Tenants and sub-tenants are beginning to base the new
Gulfstream 650s at Meacham. The results of this new testing will provide information which will allow both
the Aviation Department and TxDOT to plan for future projects to either rehabilitate or replace Runway
16/34.
The City will use revenue derived from gas well drilling for the City's 10 percent Grant match.
Meacham is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2.
