DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of Transportation Aviation Division (TxDOT) has advised the Aviation department
that funding is available for the design of a Pavement Rehabilitation Project for Taxiway-E and the
Hangar-line Taxilane (Taxilane) at Fort Worth Meacham International Airport (Airport).
Taxiway-E is one of the most highly used taxiways at the Airport, supporting more than 20 hangars and
numerous businesses located in the Apron-A area including one of the busiest Fixed Based Operators

(FBO's) at the Airport. The Taxilane connects the southern area of the Airport to the northern area,
allowing for fuel trucks and aircraft to make the transition from the Apron-B area to the Apron-A area
without having to access the aircraft movement area and interfere with aircraft in communication with the
Air Traffic Control Tower (ATC). The Taxilane provides a safe and secure pathway and must be kept in
good condition due to the heavy loads placed on it by large corporate aircraft.
The pavement that makes up Taxiway-E and the Taxilane has exceeded the end of its useful life and is
rated as poor to very poor according to the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). Numerous concrete slabs
have cracked or shattered, and the debris causes additional hazards for people and aircraft operating in
the area.
This project will replace the pavement of Taxiway-E connecting the Apron-A area to the Airport's taxiway
and runway system and also replace the Taxilane pavement that proceeds through the hangar line. In
addition to the pavement, the project will correct existing storm drainage problems due to a collapsed
storm drainage line in this area.
TxDOT has advised that grant funding is available to begin design in 2016 with construction to follow in
2017.
AVIATION ADVISORY BOARD APPROVAL -The Aviation Advisory Board recommended approval of this
action on September 17, 2015.
Fort Worth Meacham International Airport is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 2, Mapsco 48P.
