🆕 Exciting Project Update: Passero's drainage innovation results in significant cost savings at Middle Georgia Regional Airport! 🆕 Middle Georgia Regional Airport (MCN) has hit a significant milestone in Phase One of its Runway 5-23 extension project, thanks to advanced technology that has strengthened the existing stormwater drainage infrastructure. Passero recommended a cutting-edge solution to stabilize and reinforce the three massive, 120-inch diameter corrugated metal drainage pipes beneath Runway 5-23. Instead of traditional, time-consuming removal and replacement, this approach not only extended the pipes' lifespan but also saved Macon-Bibb County millions of dollars. The contractor applied a specialized horizontal pipe lining mortar to the interior of these large, corrugated metal pipes. This mortar, a composite of Portland cement, silica sand, polymers, and a corrosion inhibitor, is fiber-reinforced and enhances the structural integrity of the pipes while preventing the need for complete replacement. A key advantage of this product is its tight pore system and dense paste matrix, which effectively resist moisture ingress, soluble chemicals, and physical abrasion. The existing pipes underwent a thorough cleaning process using a combination of high-pressure water blasting and hand scraping. Following cleaning, the mortar was applied to the interior surfaces of the pipes by centrifugal casting machines. To ensure optimal bonding and effectiveness, the final step involved hydrating the cured mortar, which facilitated a stronger adherence to the pipe structure. Although horizontal pipe lining mortar is typically used for pipes ranging from 24 to 60 inches in diameter, these pipes at Middle Georgia Regional Airport are an impressive 120 inches in diameter. “To our knowledge, this is the first-time pipe lining mortar has been applied to pipes of this size in this area of the United States,” noted Stanley Price, Passero’s Project Manager. Now that the drainage portion of the project is complete, the rest of phase one construction continues with utilities and earthwork improvements. Construction of the runway extension began in April of this year and is scheduled for completion in 2025. #MiddleGeorgiaRegionalAirport #Innovation #RunwayExtension

David Passero, thank you for 38 years of Service to Passero Associates! 🎉 For nearly four decades, Rochester native and family friend, David Passero has crunched the numbers for his family’s business. Following in his uncle’s footsteps, Gary, who founded the company in 1972, David has been behind the scenes balancing the books. Upon graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) in 1985, David joined as a namesake a year later to help build Passero into what it is today – a community landmark in the heart of downtown Rochester on West Main Street, with new offices in Florida, Georgia, Ohio, and North Carolina. He began as the accounting manager and controller in 1986 and was named Partner and Chief Financial Officer in 1998. During David’s tenure, he managed all financial and human resources aspects of the firm, including IT, Administrative Services and Risk Management, for both the New York and Florida offices. Staying true to his Rochester roots, David has served on the Corporate Board of Directors for the YMCA of Greater Rochester and as Chairman for the YMCA Bayview branch. He is also a former president of the Lakeshore Kiwanis Club near Irondequoit, New York. Today, the Passero legacy has grown to more than 185 engineers, architects, planners, surveyors, and support personnel within nine offices, including the company’s iconic headquarters building in downtown Rochester with residential lofts at Bridge Square. Congratulations, David, on 38 years of dedicated service and outstanding results. Enjoy your retirement! #HappyRetirement #NewBeginnings #PasseroProud
