Royal’s subcontract price of $25.9 million, as part of an overall contract of $96 million, included the installation of $14 million in owner-furnished electrical materials within a five-month timeframe. As a subcontractor to Golden Gate Constructors, Royal’s crews worked six days a week, both day and night shifts, to complete our work at one of the busiest airports in the world. The Runway Safety Area (RWSA) Enhancement Project involved reconstruction of both ends of San Francisco International Airport’s North/South Runways, construction and realignment of various taxiways, construction of new jet blast deflectors, new airfield electrical equipment, new FAA navigational aids, and installation of four Engineered Materials Arrestor Systems (EMAS) at the end of each runway. Because the runways would have to be shut down during construction, the project was compressed into a window of 100 calendar days. The scope of the project was broken down as follows. Airfield electrical replacement work: Demolition and removal of more than 3,500 airfield lights and cans with existing conduits, conductors and handholes. Installation of 62,000 lineal feet of concrete encased duct banks which included 454,000 lineal feet of conduit. Installation of 58,000 lineal feet of saw cut kerf and more than 2,832,000 lineal feet (527 miles) of new conductors. Installation of more than 4,000 new light fixtures on new base cans. Installation of new obstruction lighting on the South Field blast fence and the North Field sea wall. Federal Aviation Administration navigational aids work, including: Installation of new concrete-encased duct banks and handholes. Relocation of Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights. Relocation of the glide slope shelter and antenna. Installation of a new Medium Intensity Approach Lighting System (MALSR) threshold bar. Relocation of all MALSR stations, including the station located on a pier in the bay. Federal Aviation Administration Runway Status Light (RWSL) work, including: Installation of new RWSL conduit and airfield lighting during short duration closures of active taxiways. THE CHALLENGE THE SOLUTION “No other electrical contractor could have done what Royal did on SFO. Their expertise in airfield electrical is unmatched. Between their ability to see design issues and present constructible solutions, to their ability to complete a tremendous amount of work in an incredibly short work window, is like nothing I have ever seen.” QUINN HANCE, DESILVA GATES SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER READY TO TALK?
