MANSFIELD, TEXAS — Ramtech Building Systems has announced the completion of a permanent modular building for the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport terminal expansion project in Panama City Beach, Fla.
Ramtech, a design-build construction firm based in Mansfield, Texas, both manufactured and installed the structure. The 7,168-square-foot building addition increases the passenger capacity and seating areas for the two gates that serve the airport’s regional jet operators.
The firm worked as a subcontractor to Allstate Construction of Tallahassee, Fla., the general contractor on the project, providing the core and shell manufacturing of the steel modular sections and the finish-out of the exterior in addition to the installation. Using pier and beam permanent modular construction, the Type II-b steel building addition was connected to the existing terminal structure using a site-built corridor.
Each of the nine factory-built modular sections arrived on location complete with exterior walls utilizing 24-gauge high-rib R-Panel steel siding, all door and window assemblies, interior walls with unfinished gypsum board and the required shear walls, a perimeter steel frame floor system, and an EPDM roof assembly. Ramtech also provided the exterior wall and floor penetrations that were required for the onsite installation of the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems.
The modular sections were manufactured in three sizes to meet the building configuration and were installed and welded to a poured-in-place concrete pier foundation system to complete the installation.
