Scope Of Work
Zartman Construction built a seven story air traffic control tower at the University Park Airport.
The 1,870 square foot building footprint was on an extremely tight quarter acre site. At times it was necessary to use some of the parking lot to get the laydown space required.
The local karst geology, along with the heavy building loads, mandated deep foundations for the tower and building. The 18 caissons were four feet in diameter and averaged over 100 feet deep.
