Municipal Airport Projects
Nitsch Engineering performed a utility analysis for a feasibility study on land owned by the Orange Airport. The resulting report presented several alternative designs for water supply and sewage discharge, evaluated access and roadway improvements, and contained a preliminary cost estimate. We worked with the consultants, local utility representatives and the owners to ascertain relevant connection locations, utility capacities and design standards.
