JE Dunn Construction is honored and privileged to announce the completion of the Myrtle Beach Airport concourse expansion project, a joint venture with Southside Constructors, Inc. The team celebrated the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, Dec. 1, welcoming elected officials from both state and local government. During the event, organizers unveiled an 18-inch commemorative plaque, recognizing JE Dunn and Southside as an \u201cAdditional Partner\u201d in this transformative project.<\/p>\n
This 50,000 SF expansion added six new gates, designed and constructed with future expansion in mind, to the A Concourse, while modernizing the 12 existing gates on the A & B Concourses. This project included new terrazzo flooring and renovated restrooms throughout both the new and existing areas of Concourse A & B. It also featured improved circulation and increased natural light, enhancing the overall passenger experience, as well as a new power infrastructure to support the expanded facilities.<\/p>\n
The project\u2019s primary architect Brad Sucher, Senior Vice President with Gresham Smith, offered additional examples about how these design choices are ultimately in service of the passenger experience. \u201cA couple of things I really like about this facility…you’ve got all this natural light pouring in, and there\u2019s a clear line of sight all the way back into the existing [structure], including baggage claim and the exit lane. And as you get closer to this glass, one thing you may notice is…we actually mitigated the glare through electrochromic glazing. This ensures the passenger doesn\u2019t get all that glare into their eyes, but it still provides that open view out to the airfield. As a plane goes by right now, you almost feel like you can reach out and touch [it].<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s also going to be unique for the passengers here is they\u2019re going to have a lot of variety of seating. And with that, you\u2019re going to be able to support the various types of passengers that use this facility.\u201d<\/p>\n
This project required a collaborative approach when it came to planning the execution of the work. Maintaining operations is always a top priority when it comes to working in an active airport. To ensure gates became operational as quickly as possible, the team expedited the preconstruction phase, taking care to include a detailed plan that would guarantee all existing jet bridges stayed in service during the peak tourism season.<\/p>\n
“The JE Dunn Southside team is incredibly grateful to Horry County and all our project partners for trusting us to help bring this vision to life,\u201d said Nick Christoffersen, JE Dunn\u2019s Vice President \u2013 Aviation Group Manager. \u201cThis expansion isn\u2019t just about adding gates or square footage \u2014 it\u2019s about supporting growth, improving the passenger experience, and investing in the long-term success of this community. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
