Wittman Regional Airport
Oshkosh, Wisconsin

Air Traffic Control Tower
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics

OMNNI provided architectural, geotechnical, civil/site design and construction observation for the new air traffic control tower at Wittman Regional Airport, Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Design includes a 6,000-square-foot ground facility complete with offices, conference and training areas, and maintenance, utility and storage space.

The tower's shaft will include an elevator and stair tower for vertical connection between the ground facility and the cab, as well as intermediate levels containing mechanical equipment and support facilities for the cab. The tower cab is 60% larger than the existing tower cab and contains state-of-the-art electronics to aid the controllers and increase airport safety.

Construction is scheduled for completion October 2008.

Runway 9/27 Reconstruction
Wisconsin Department of Transportation, Bureau of Aeronautics

OMNNI provided design and construction administration for the reconstruction of 4,647 feet of Runway 9/27. The project included pulverizing the existing asphalt pavement, paving the runway with 11” of concrete, and installation of all new storm sewer and underdrains to help correct drainage problems. Since the airport is home to the EAA AirVenture and aircraft are required to exit the runway at virtually all locations, landscaping and safety area grading were required to meet stringent specifications.

The project was awarded the 2007 Outstanding Airport Construction Award by the WisDOT, Bureau of Aeronautics.
