Description
Moody Engineering was the civil engineer for phases I and II of the site improvements at the Don Scott Airport in Columbus, Ohio. The civil engineering scope included design of storm sewers, an underground detention system, erosion control, booster station, new pavement, new grading, new layout, new utility connections, coordination of gas line relocation and service to campus for new buildings and replacement of other existing buildings.

The airport is home to 200 aircraft and it sees an estimated 75,000 flight operations per year. Phase I of the project was the design of four leasable hangars each ranging from 10,000 SF – 16,800 SF. Phase II improvements include administrative, classroom, flight simulation, operations and airplane storage. The new buildings include Flight Education at 11,400 SF, Flight Education Hangar at 26,000 SF, Airport and Administration Building & Field Operations Buildings at 17,550 SF which will replace these existing facilities. The need for swing space and possible enabling projects was evaluated during design.
