Florida’s Jacksonville International Airport has planned a major terminal expansion project to provide for the needs of its airlines, staff and passengers. The execution of this long-term project is divided into multiple phases. Stage 3, the concourse replacement phase, focuses on reconstructing the 40-year old Concourses A and C to increase functionality and design. The concourses were constructed to house vaulted roof sheltering holdrooms, restrooms, concessionaires, building utility spaces, airport maintenance, airline operations, and ground service and mechanical equipment
Moon Township, Pa.-based CENTRIA’s Formawall Dimension Series panels were selected because they provide excellent strength and durability combined with advanced thermal efficiency and moisture control in a single panelized component. Formawall Graphix Series was chosen because of the speed and ease of its installation, which reduced time and costs of construction. Although the product comes in a single panel, it can create the appearance of multiple smaller panels. Additionally, the premium, high build architectural coating, Duragard Plus, provides the Jacksonville International Airport with the ultimate in color retention and fade resistance, increasing the longevity and durability of the products.
The architect was Reynolds, Smith and Hills Inc., Jacksonville; the installer was Crown Corr Inc., Gary, Ind.; and the contractor was Balfour Beatty Construction, Dallas.
