✈️ The River View Construction crew has been hard at work on a runway project at Lakeland Airport in Minocqua.
From pulverizing and reclaiming the existing runway material to fine grading and compaction, every step is focused on building a strong, long-lasting foundation for the runway improvements ahead.
Runway pulverization is a process where the existing asphalt surface is ground up and blended with a portion of the underlying base material to create a reclaimed foundation layer. This process strengthens the runway base, improves stability, and allows much of the existing material to be reused right on site before new pavement is installed.
Lakeland Airport (ARV), also known as Noble F. Lee Memorial Field, is a public general aviation airport serving the Minocqua-Woodruff area in Vilas County, Wisconsin. Especially during the summer months, ARV serves as a busy gateway to the Northwoods for residents and visitors alike.
