Selfridge ANGB

With the award and ongoing construction of the Upgrade Runway 0-19 and Electrical Vault project at Selfridge ANGB, Dan's Excavating, Inc. (DEI), continued its unrivaled work on airfield projects in the State of Michigan.

The project at Selfridge included reconstructing the 9,000 foot runway and associated turnarounds and blast pads, upgrading the airfield lighting system with a new electrical vault building and switchgear, installation of a RIDS system and a BAK12 system. 

The project's major quantities of work include:

                        67,000 syd concrete pavement removal

                        32,500 tons asphalt milling

                        9,300 syd concrete pavement rubblizing

                        Excavation 40,000 cyd

                        80,000 syd lime stabilizing sub grade

                        92,500 syd layer

                        90,000 syd concrete pavement installation

                        50,000 tons asphalt paving installation

                        4,500 feet storm pipe

                        25,000 feet sub base undergrade

                        30 acres site restoration

                        Vault building construction

                        Airfield lighting and switchgear

                        Grooving, striping, construction staking

                        Contractor quality assurance and quality control

Since this project required a complete runway shutdown and interruption to aircraft operations, DEI's initial proposal included value engineering which detailed an expedited schedule that allowed the base to maintain its operations an additional seven weeks while still completing the project by the scheduled completion date.

This proposal along with DEI's extensive airfield experience and technical approach, resulted in the selection committee's choice of DEI even though our price was not the lowest submitted in response to the solicitation.
