Sci-Tek provided data acquisition, inspections, testing, exploration, planning, design, and construction monitoring for the development and improvement of the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) and Northeast Philadelphia Airport (PNE). As a subconsultant to Atkins Global, Inc., Sci-Tek provided the following task orders:

  • PHL Taxiways EE and H - Geotechnical subsurface exploration, infiltration testing for stormwater management planning and stormwater pipe inspection of three 96” corrugated metal pipes. (2013-2014)
  • PHL Roadway Pavement Condition Surveys -- Roadway pavement inspections assessments and analysis (2014)
  • PHL Taxiways K, S, and D - Geotechnical pavement exploration in support of the evaluation of existing pavements and the design of replacement pavements. (2016)
  • PHL River Light Pier for Runway 9R - Geotechnical exploration and report to evaluate the subsurface strata of soil, deep sediment, and underlying bedrock at the pier abutment for the light pier upgrades. (2016)
  • PNE Runway 6-24 – Geotechnical, Environmental services - Pavement Inspection, Stabilized Recycled Asphalt Pavement Investigation, Additional Pavement Cores, and Asbestos Testing of Existing Soil Samples (2016-2018)
  • PNE Proposed Taxiway H Modification - Limited subsurface exploration of the existing pavement of Taxiway H and a proposed 200-ft long (approximate) connecting ramp between Runway 6-24 and Taxiway H. (2018)
  • PNE Runway 15-33 Comparison - Limited subsurface exploration of the existing pavement of two sections of Runway 15-33. (2018-2019)
  • PHL Proposed Taxiway K2 - Geotechnical subsurface exploration to facilitate design of new pavement for proposed Taxiway K2. (2018)
  • PHL Taxiways K4, K5 and J - Geotechnical subsurface exploration to facilitate design of improvements to existing Taxiways K4, K5 and J. (2018-2019)
  • Asbestos Testing PHL Taxiway K -- Asbestos laboratory testing from composite samples collected from previous subsurface explorations at PHL Taxiways K-2, K-4, and K-5. (2019)
  • PNE Runway 6-24 Rehab / Geotech Augusta Stockpile - Geotechnical subsurface exploration and topographic survey of a large stockpile of soil located at the west corner of the airport. (2019)
  • PHL Taxiway P - Limited geotechnical pavement investigation and asbestos testing of soil samples to support the taxiway relocation. (2021)
  • PNE Taxiway J1 Widening - Limited subsurface exploration of the existing pavement of Taxiway J1 for the proposal widening of the taxiway. (2019)
  • PHL Runway 17-35 - Geotechnical exploration with 6-inch diameter asphalt pavement cores at 14 locations along the existing Runway for the overall rehabilitation project. (2020)
