Knight provided professional architectural and engineering services to the Springfield Airport Authority (SAA) for roadway and building maintenance improvements at the Abraham Lincoln Capital Airport, delivering cost-effective infrastructure improvements to help keep the airport in top shape.
Services include analysis of an existing roofing system, accessories, and equipment in order to properly represent existing conditions and correctly determine the scope of work related to the re-roofing project.
Knight also provided a set of bid documents that included drawings and specifications for the installation of a new, fully adhered thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) roofing system. Improvement recommendations include milling and resurfacing of the oldest, most deteriorated bituminous pavements and parking lots, hot tar crack sealing of the new bituminous pavements and full-depth concrete patching of the existing concrete pavements.

SAVING A HANGER AND COSTS
The Knight team understood that, as a public client, the Abraham Lincoln Airport needed to wisely spend taxpayer dollars and upgrade aging airport infrastructure. To meet this challenge Knight’s team of engineers and architects were able to develop a cost effective solution for upgrading Hangar 3 instead of demolishing it and building a new hangar. This approach saved the airport nearly $600,000 and resulted in an updated hangar that met airport needs.
