APPLETON, WIS. – Roger Arnold, P.E., of OMNNI Associates, Appleton, Wis., has received the “2011 Outstanding Airport Construction Award” for his role as resident engineer on a runway reconstruction project at Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics, presented the award to Arnold, January 19, 2012, during the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association Conference at the Madison Marriott-West in Middleton, Wisconsin.
The Wittman Regional Airport project involved reconstruction of 4,675 feet of the badly deteriorating Runway 18/36 – the airport’s primary runway. The $4.25 million project improved the ride of the runway by filling in low areas with recycled concrete pavement taken from the existing runway, and paving it with new 10-inch thick concrete. The project also included all new storm sewer and underdrains, lighting and landscaping.
In addition to daily operations, Wittman Regional Airport is the host airport for the annual EAA AirVenture fly-in and air show held in August.
