Cc: Hambrecht, Rob; Joseph Griffin; Robert Binford; frank Subject: RE: Sebastian Rny 4-22/flush mounted runway edge lights in intersection Henry This email is in response to your correspondence below. We have been in communication today to resolve this issue with your firm LPA and also with H.L. Pruitt our subcontractor responsible for the concrete and detail for the area in question since we were notified by your firm. The resolution for the correction is as follows: H.L.Pruitt will install rock base material compacted and finish with 6" of compacted cold patch asphalt. This remedial work Will take place tonight and the crew is mobilizing as we correspond. The replacement measures will be scheduled early next week And we will be contacting the approved mix bag material supplier for the investigation as to why the material did not perform as per manufacturer product data, then we can evaluate if this material is to be used for the finish product or an alternate mix be recommended. Please provide a report from your inspector and testing QC firm that was onsite when this pour took place, I will Need this information for our evaluation on the material, since he was present and advising also on the application. I greatly appreciate your cooperation to resolve this issue and completing this project successfully. Respectfully From: Burton, Arthur H. [mailto:AHBurton@lpagroup.com] Sent: Thursday, December 31, 2009 3:26 PM To: Christopher Caprio Cc: Hambrecht, Rob; Joseph Griffin Subject: Sebastian Rny 4-22/flush mounted runway edge lights in intersection Chris: 1/2/2010 Page 2 of 2 This email is in reference to your concrete pour of Wednesday, December 30, 2009, at 8:00 P.M. at the Sebastian Municipal Airport. As you know, the requirement for the concrete around the runway edge lights (Rnwy 4-22) crossing the open runway (Rnwy 8-26) was that it must reach a compressive strength of 2500 psi in 5 hours to allow safe operation of the active runway. As of 12:00 P.M. today (16 hours after the pour), the sample concrete cylinders have yielded very low compressive strengths with the highest break being 1090 psi. This is far below the strength necessary to safely support the wheel loading of the heaviest aircraft currently based at Sebastian. In addition, not knowing the type itinerant aircraft that may use the airport this weekend, we have recommended to the Airport Manager that Runway 8-26 be closed until such time as sufficient compressive strength can be demonstrated or a remedial action is performed. Closing Runway 8-26 will result in the closing of the entire airfield. You may anticipate that the airport will seek to recover lost revenues due to this unexpected closure. Please bear in mind that as a consequence of the failure of the concrete to meet the required structural strength, cracking, shifting, and spalling may produce depressions and/or FOD on the runway and should be monitored closely. I request at this time that you send us a plan for correction of this deficiency as soon as possible.
