Modular Building For DIA Completed

Denver International Airport concourse

Denver – Design-build construction firm Ramtech Building Systems recently completed its scope of work on the 65 modular sections that the company produced on a new 38,920 square foot modular building for Denver International Airport. Ramtech worked with Denver-based Wong Strauch Architects, PC in a design-assist role for developing the Type-IIb modular construction project. It is part of the second phase of an upgrade and expansion to the Airport’s Concourse A commuter facility.

Denver International Airport will use the new modular-built terminal for a minimum of 5 to 10 years while the Airport develops and moves forward with its permanent expansion plans.

The concourse building was built as a cooperative effort with other contractors including Hensel Phelps, the prime contractor for the project. Ramtech was responsible for the core and shell construction including the exterior cladding, interior walls with applied gypsum board, complete floor and ceiling assemblies, and the exterior wall and floor penetrations required for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.

The modular building was installed by Ramtech on a concrete block pier type foundation system. Ramtech’s manufacturing division began the fabrication of the modular sections during June of last year and completed the setting of the modular sections in August. Ramtech participated in the finish-out of the interior work which was predominantly completed in December.
