Granite Construction Inc has been awarded a US$26 million contract by San Francisco International Airport (SFO) to rehabilitate Taxiway Z and a portion of Taxiway S. This project, funded by SFO, is part of the airport’s Capital Improvement Program (CIP), which aims to modernize and improve infrastructure, including runways, taxiways, and terminals.
Scope of the Rehabilitation Project
In addition, the project encompasses the reconstruction of asphalt concrete pavement, replacement of airfield lighting with energy-efficient LED systems, modernization of signage, a 12kV electrical duct bank upgrade, and enhancements to pavement markings and drainage systems. Additionally, ranite’s Santa Clara hot plant will supply 24,105 tons of hot mix asphalt for the project. Construction is scheduled to commence in August 2025 and conclude by November 2025.
Granite’s collaboration with SFO on this project aligns with the objectives of the company; trust, transparency, early contractor collaboration, and alternate delivery methods. Furthermore, this partnership supports Granite’s long-term goal to participate in additional alternate procurement projects with SFO, leveraging established relationships to deliver longer projects while minimizing risk.
