Your dedication, skill, and teamwork are fueling our success and creating a strong foundation for the future.
Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing and Structural (MEPS) Team – DFW International Airport
Our MEPS team deserves special recognition for the incredible work they are doing at DFW Airport. At the request of the airport, this project was started ahead of schedule—no easy task—and required assembling a team of more than 150 people to kick oi operations across Terminals B, D, and E, the parking garage, SkyLink, and the lighting vaults. From day one, everyone has come together with focus and determination to make this project a success. It hasn’t been easy, and challenges have been many, but our team—working side by side with our great partners, including Honeywell, Infinity, and Facilities Services Group—has continued to overcome obstacles and deliver results that make us all proud. There is still much ahead, but with the high standards we have set for our customer and the strength of this partnership, we are confident that we will continue to achieve great things.

We want to proudly recognize the incredible efforts of our Electrical & Low Voltage Team. The dedication you’ve shown on the FAA and DFW Airport projects including the eCUP, Airfield Torque, Parkland Hospital, Project Meadow, and many other projects have been nothing short of inspiring. Your expertise and hard work not only keep these critical projects moving forward but also strengthen our reputation as a trusted partner to our customers. Every milestone you achieve reflects the strength of our entire company, and your commitment continues to open doors for future opportunities. Thank you for setting the standard of excellence and showing what teamwork, skill, and pride in our work can accomplish.
DART PIDS
Our DART PIDS project is well underway and moving forward with great momentum. The team’s dedication and focus have kept us right on schedule, and we are on track to complete the first phase ahead of the FIFA World Cup. This project will bring state-of-the-art Passenger Information Displays to every train stop, providing real-time passenger information as well as dynamic marketing content that will elevate the travel experience for millions of riders. More than just a project, this is an opportunity to showcase Dallas and DFW to the world. Visitors from across the globe will experience these systems during the World Cup, and the work we are doing will help create a lasting, positive impression of our city and region. The pride, precision, and commitment shown by our team demonstrate what makes us strong —working together, setting high standards, and delivering excellence when it matters most.
