Airport
DGR Engineering completed a recent apron expansion and runway rehabilitation project. DGR is currently designing a hangar area taxiway project. DGR previously provided design and construction services for the $3 million development of a new runway and taxiway. DGR has also managed new hangar facilities, drainage projects, pavement rehabilitation, and other related projects for a total cost of improvements at the airport of over $5 million. Current active projects include: new hangar area development, taxiway design, AWOS relocation, and private hangar development.
Brian Meyer was Team Leader and Project Manager for numerous environmental, planning, design and construction projects, including the $1 million drainage and safety area improvements project. The project included coordination with the watershed district, environmental, land acquisition, and staging issues. He worked with the City, agencies and land owners to achieve successful projects. DGR Engineering also completed a fueling system project and electrical system upgrade in 2017.
DGR Engineering collaborated with a local engineering partner at the Ankeny, IA Regional Airport to provide electrical design and construction services for the airport including runway and taxiway lights, lighting signs and navigational aids including Precision Approach Path Indicators. This project involved the installation of a new lighting system and an active metropolitan area airport. Significant phasing and staging was required for the project to minimize impact on airport operations.
DGR Engineering was honored to receive a Special Recognition Award recently from the Iowa Concrete Paving Association. The award acknowledges the high quality of design and workmanship demonstrated on the Sioux County Regional Airport project. Congratulations to all involved!
