AIRCRAFT ARRESTING SYSTEMS
RUNWAY 9-27 EAST AIRCRAFT ARRESTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
DULUTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
DULUTH, MN
Completed: November 2004
The east arresting system was replaced with a new French manufactured BAK 12 Type H System. The new system had been recently introduced in the United States and previous installs had reportedly difficult issues. HMI was required to install this system within 60 days in conjunction with the runway surface rehabilitation project. HMI approached the install with careful precision and coordinated efforts with the MN ANG and the concurrent runway rehab project to ensure the schedule would be met and the system approved for operations. On November 4, 2004, the runway was reopened with the first BAK 12 Type H System to pass 100% military inspection in the United States with no major problems encountered. The percentage of the project completed by HMI was 75% (25% subcontracted).

RUNWAY 9-27 WEST AIRCRAFT ARRESTING SYSTEM INSTALLATION
DULUTH INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
DULUTH, MN
Completed: October 2005
Phase II of the runway project once again required the French manufactured BAK 12 Type H System to be installed concurrently with a runway surface rehabilitation project within 60 days. This time the project consisted of a large quantity of unsuitable soils at the site to be removed and replaced prior to the install. Combined with poor weather, HMI once again completed the project on time and within budget. Most importantly, the system again passed military requirements by 100% during the first acceptance inspection. The percentage of the project completed by HMI was 80% (20% subcontracted).
