Airport Engineers Toltz, King, Duvall, Anderson and Associates, Incorporated (TKDA) has operated an Airport De- partment on a continuous basis since 1942. A tal- ented and experienced staff that encompasses many disciplines enables TKDA to offer a full spectrum 'of airport services - planning, design, and construction engineering. Our staff has the ability to respond to the needs of most airports, from the most basic landing strip to a complex international airport, including special pro- jects that require an innovative approach. Since 1943, TKDA has provided a broad range of engineering services in connection with the devel- opment of Minneapolis/St. Paul International Air- port. We have also served as engineers for smaller airports, such as Anoka County - Blaine Airport and St. Cloud Municipal Airport, both in Minnesota. When an airport has a special problem, TKDA can respond with unique and award-winning solutions like the runway pavement structure developed for Fergus Falls, Minnesota Municipal Airport. Our staff handles each project in a thorough and effective manner, and we consider personal service to the client to be one of the firm's major responsibili- ties. TKDA has the people who can help you make your airport better. MALSR Lights' Flying Cloud Airport, Eden Prairie, Minnesota High Intensity Runway Lights I Foundations for Threshold Lights Brainerd-Crow Wing County Airport, Minnesota Navigational Aids TKDA offers Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS) engi- neering and planning for airports of various sizes. Airports that are experiencing increases in air traffic or those seeking to improve their facilities can make aircraft operations considerably easier and safer with the installation of radioand visual NAVAIDS. Simple NAVAIDS such as REIL (Runway End Identifier Lights), NDB (Non-Directional Beacon), and VASI (Visual Approach Slope Indicator) are among those that are suited for initial airport installa- tions. These basic systems can be expanded as the airport grows. More complex radio and visual NAVAIDS are needed for larger or busier airports. MALS (Medium Intensity Approach Lighting Systems), including the MALSR and MALSF (with runway alignment indica- tor lights and with sequenced flashers), plus CL (in- runway centerline lights) are examples of visual aids for regional and international airports. The ILS (Instrument Landing System) is an example of a more sophisticated radio NAVAID system. These systems build upon and work with simpler NAVAIDS. At Minneapolis/St. Paul International, Flying Cloud, Brainerd - Crow Wing County, and St. Cloud ipal airports in Minnesota, TKDA has recently beW~l involved in the selection and/or engineering of var ious NAVAIDS of both the visual and radio type. Our experienced staff can help you select and develop a NAVAIDS system for your airport.
