With the structure already framed and façade installation…
Challenge Modernizing Concourse B at Memphis International Airport meant performing complex construction in a fully operational, high-security environment—where every delay creates a ripple effect on the client’s ongoing operations. Early site work revealed that existing underground utilities, including sanitary and sewer lines, were inaccurately documented, creating immediate risks to both the project schedule and airport…
