EW Howell Construction Group was awarded the $15.4 million Air Traffic Control Tower project for Francis S. Gabreski Airport. This project includes construction of a new 8-story control tower including office space, training areas, a break room, equipment rooms, and the control cab. The original tower was built in the 1940s and no longer met fire, safety and security standards.
Construction includes demolition, concrete foundations, pre-cast concrete panel exterior, a glass and metal panel tower control cab (upper) enclosure, as well as site work and fit-out. Part of the contract is the removal and clearing of approximately 22 acres of trees and brush to improve the sightlines to the runways for the new tower. Provisions and infrastructure will be incorporated for new Air National Guard, National Weather Service and airport communications, antennas, and weather equipment. The existing Air Traffic Control Tower will be demolished and removed once the new facility is fully commissioned.
