Charlotte Hub Pavement Reconstruction

Originally constructed in the early 90s, the paving at FedEx’s busy Charlotte, NC hub was failing and in need of total reconstruction.
Kendale proposed an innovative process (Full Depth Reclamation) in lieu of traditional pavement reconstruction, which greatly reduced the impact on the facilities operations.
Our out-of-the box thinking and use of FDR, saved the client $5,000,000 and three months of construction schedule, all while providing a more durable product.

Innovative Construction Techniques

Kendale Design/Build employs cutting-edge construction techniques to enhance project efficiency and sustainability. One such method is the Full Depth Reclamation (FDR), which not only rehabilitates existing pavement but also reduces the need for new materials, thereby minimizing environmental impact.

This innovative approach allows for quicker project completion and significant cost savings. For example, during the FedEx Charlotte Hub project, FDR was utilized to reconstruct the pavement efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to FedEx operations and enhancing the durability of the surface.

Project Management Excellence

Effective project management is crucial in ensuring that construction projects are delivered on time and within budget. Kendale Design/Build utilizes a comprehensive project management approach that includes meticulous planning, resource allocation, and ongoing communication with stakeholders.

This method was particularly evident in the FedEx project, where the team coordinated closely with FedEx to align construction schedules with operational needs, resulting in a seamless reconstruction process that met all deadlines without compromising quality.

Benefits of Full Depth Reclamation

Full Depth Reclamation offers numerous benefits for pavement reconstruction projects, making it a preferred choice for many contractors. This method not only strengthens the existing pavement but also integrates recycled materials, providing a sustainable solution that reduces waste.

In the case of the FedEx Charlotte Hub, the use of FDR resulted in a robust surface capable of withstanding heavy traffic while also cutting down on the overall construction timeline and costs, showcasing its effectiveness in real-world applications.
