We recently visited the Mayfield-Graves County Airport to check in on one of our aviation projects.
BFW is providing the engineering construction services for a 3-unit box hangar. The project includes the construction of a 12,000 sq. ft. 3-unit aircraft hangar that is capable of housing up to three business jets. In addition, the construction included a 37,000 sq. ft. concrete apron for improved accessibility.
With a finish date set for May of this year, this project will soon be completed!
