Scope of Services
Electrical Construction services were provided for installation of a new
Runway/Taxiway Status Light Systems infrastructure and the relocation of

Project Description
Divane Bros. Electric Co. is providing the electrical construction of the eastern
portion of the new Runway 10C-28C. Improvements to the existing Runway
10L-28C and installation of Commonwealth Edison Ductbank (CECO),
Common Electrical Ductbank (CED) and Runway Status Light Infrastructure
(RWSL). Airfield Lighting and Airfield Lighting Power and Control Components
constitute the majority of electrical work.
Displacement of Runway 28 Threshold involves new infrastructure and the
removal and reinstallation of the Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI),
Airfield Lighting and Guidance Sign modifications, Removal/Reinstallation of
the Runway 10 Localizer Antenna Array and Shelter to allow new construction
and improvements to the existing Runway 10L-28C outside the Runway
Safety Area (RSA). All this will occur concurrently with the installation of a
new Runway Status Lighting System infrastructure is being installed in the
new and existing Runway/Taxiway pavement.
In early 2010 the work will begin on Runway 32L displacement and will
mirror the Runway 28 work. This precedes and allows for, the new
construction moving west towards the existing Cargo Facilities. New
infrastructure, in-pavement airfield lighting, guidance signs, type 1 marker
light bases, FAA Navigational Aids and Airfield Lighting Power and Control
components, Runway and Taxiway pavement that will become the new
Runway 10C-28C.
