FS Engineering has been the primary civil engineer for the Swede Carlson International Airport in Warroad, Minnesota for the last two decades.  Our work there included a $7 million expansion in 1990-1991 that involved:

• Reconstruction of the existing 4000' runway,
• A 1400' expansion of the runway,
• Design and construction of additional taxiways,
• Construction of a new grass crosswind runway,
• Rerouting and reconstruction of two township roads so they were out of the no-fly zone, and
• Design and construction of a complete airport lighting package that updated and expanded the existing airport lighting.

The project ensured that the airport would be large enough to handle Marvin Windows' new Gulfstream IV jet and was funded almost entirely by a grant from the FAA and Minnesota Department of Transportation, which FS Engineering helped the City obtain.
