Abstract
In this session we discuss the extension of the existing Runway 2-20 at the Paoli Municipal Airport, which sits on top of an approximately 70-foot embankment. Alternatives were analyzed to identify the most cost-effective solution, which was determined to be the construction of a vegetated mechanically stabilized earth wall (VMSEW). To date we have completed one phase of construction (approximately 30 feet of wall).
