George Bush Intercontinental Airport Terminal C North Project – Site Utilities and Paving

Project Overview

Gant Industries was the prime contractor for the site utility and paving work at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH), located at 3500 N. Terminal Blvd, Houston, TX. This project, commissioned by the City of Houston and United Airlines, focused on the development of critical infrastructure within the highly secure Airport Operating Area (AOA). Gant Industries successfully completed the utility installation and paving work while adhering to the strict protocols required in active airport environments.

Scope of Work

The scope of work included the installation of site utilities and extensive paving for the new Terminal C Northdevelopment. All work took place within the Airport Operating Area (AOA), requiring careful coordination with airport security and operational staff. Gant Industries ensured that all personnel, vehicles, and equipment were properly badged or escorted, and all movement was controlled through airport security gates.

Key Team Members

• Brad Laskowski – Project Manager
  Brad was responsible for overseeing the entire project, ensuring that Gant Industries adhered to the project schedule and that all work was performed in compliance with airport regulations. His leadership was critical in coordinating with both airport staff and the client to meet deadlines and deliver quality results.
• Logan Griffiths – Superintendent
  Logan managed on-site operations, ensuring that the project moved forward efficiently while maintaining strict security protocols. His role involved daily oversight of the paving and utility work, making sure that every aspect met the project’s standards and adhered to safety guidelines.

Challenges and Solutions

Working within an active AOA posed unique challenges, including restricted access to the worksite and stringent security checks for all personnel and vehicles. Gant Industries coordinated closely with airport security teams to ensure that all activities were conducted in full compliance with AOA protocols. Despite the security constraints, Gant Industries completed the work on schedule, allowing the project to transition from an AOA to a standard construction site, enabling more efficient construction procedures moving forward.

Results and Impact

Gant Industries’ ability to work within the high-security environment of an operating airport while completing the project on time was a testament to the company’s expertise and adaptability. The successful installation of site utilities and paving contributed to the overall progress of the Terminal C North expansion, and the smooth transition from AOA to a standard construction site helped streamline subsequent construction activities. Gant Industries’ work ensured that the project could continue without delay, ultimately enhancing the airport’s operational capacity.
