13 Jan Dassault Falcon celebrates with groundbreaking
Digging the dirt today are Tina Iftiger, Chief Commercial Officer, and Darren Griffen, President/CEO of the Reno-Tahoe Airport Authority along with Dassault’s Michael Montgomery and United Superintendent Pete Brunner. The ceremony marked the beginning of the expansion of the Dassault Falcon building at Reno Tahoe International Airport. United Estimators Greg Park and Jami Evanson supported the project through preconstruction, while the United team leading the project through to completion consists of Pete Brunner, Project Managers Casey Gunther and Robert Felstead, and Project Administrator Glady Robinette.
Designed by United Design Manager David Eckes with assistance from local architect Fred Graham, the 11,000 sf, two-story addition will feature parts storage, locker rooms, records storage and a second-floor training/event room, avionics work room, engineering, conference room and quality assurance department. United’s in-house architects designed the expansion. Completion is set for late June.
Dassault is a French based aircraft manufacturer of business and corporate jets. The United design-build team also delivered the existing building used by Dassault. United delivered it in 1996 as an aircraft maintenance hangar for Reno Air.
