Salisbury Wicomico Airport

Project Summary

DXI was selected to provide site work for several projects over a five-year period at the Salisbury/Wicomico Airport. Beginning in 2012 at the active, operating airport, DXI Construction moved and placed 23,000 tons of aggregate base and 7,000 tons of asphalt. The completed project included grading and drainage improvements, electrical packages, signage, striping, and lighting.

In 2014, DXI returned for another project at the active airport. We completed 70,000 square yards of asphalt demolition and 57,000 square yards of soil cement, and moved and placed 27,000 tons of aggregate base and 22,000 tons of asphalt paving.

Our third project with the airport began in 2017. The Taxiway B Rehabilitation project included placing 1,600 tons of aggregate base and 3,000 tons of asphalt paving.

As with similar airport projects, these assignments came with a multitude of challenges. From carefully coordinating work and scheduling to keep the active airport operational throughout construction to meeting special safety and equipment requirements, DXI addressed these challenges and completed the projects on time and within budget.
