Zachry Construction Corporation has been selected for airfield work at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and Raleigh-Durham International Airport, taking on projects aimed at improving capacity, pavement reliability, and airport operations at two Southeast aviation hubs.
The company said the assignments cover paving, pavement rehabilitation, lighting, and related work in active airport environments, where construction must be carefully sequenced to support ongoing operations.
At Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina, the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport District chose Zachry as prime contractor for the Taxilane 2 Widening Phase 1 and South General Aviation Apron Reconstruction project.
That work includes widening the southern portion of Taxilane 2, rebuilding the South General Aviation Apron with new portland cement concrete pavement, rehabilitating existing asphalt taxilane pavement, and installing new taxiway edge lighting. According to the company, the upgrades are intended to expand aircraft parking and maneuvering capacity, improve pavement reliability, and reduce long-term maintenance needs as GSP continues to grow in general aviation, corporate aviation, cargo, and airport-related business activity.

"Airfield construction requires more than delivering physical improvements. It demands careful coordination and sequencing to complete the work safely while supporting ongoing airport operations, concrete paving, pavement rehabilitation and airfield lighting", said Nathan Burgei, project manager for Zachry Construction Corporation. "Our team will focus on carefully sequencing the work and delivering durable improvements while helping maintain safe and efficient operations at GSP."
At Raleigh-Durham International Airport in North Carolina, Zachry was selected by Balfour Beatty to perform $5.26 million in preservation work on Runway 5L-23R. The project was awarded March 17, 2026, with work scheduled in fall 2026.
Zachry's role at RDU includes rapid reconstruction panel replacement, partial-depth concrete repairs, associated taxiway pavement repairs, airfield lighting work, and related airfield safety and operational coordination.
"Zachry has been delivering aviation infrastructure for more than five decades, and that experience informs how we approach complex work in active airport environments", said Kevin Allen, vice president and Southeast regional manager for Zachry Construction Corporation. "At RDU, we're drawing on that depth of experience to execute critical runway preservation work with the coordination, sequencing and attention to detail needed to support ongoing operations and the long-term reliability of the airfield."
Together, the GSP and RDU assignments highlight Zachry Construction's work in aviation infrastructure and its focus on sequencing complex projects, maintaining airport access, minimizing operational disruption, and delivering infrastructure intended to support long-term aviation growth.
