Progress continues to 𝒕𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒐𝒇𝒇 for the new air traffic control tower (ATCT) at the 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗶𝗿𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 (𝗧𝗜𝗫) in Titusville. Take a look at the action as the entire steel cab structure is lifted from the ground and placed on top of the five-story pre-cast tower structure.
𝗜𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 from Titusville, FL fabricated the entire steel cab on the ground then set it on top of the tower using a crane. The cab weighed in at 65,000 lbs. at the time of lifting it. We performed some additional work on the ground consisting of: framing, intumescent, cementitious fireproofing, above ceiling hangers, and formwork/wire mesh for the concrete decks. The remaining work, including casting concrete, roofing, cab glass, utilities, and finishes, will be installed in-place.
Up next is getting the building dried-in and painted, then installation of utilities, finishes, and the elevator. Lastly, we will install the ATCT equipment which will then need to go through a commissioning process with the FAA.
The TIX ATCT will be a 93-ft tall, six-story structure consisting of five stories of pre-cast concrete with hollow core plank floors, and the sixth story being a steel cab. The project involves a comprehensive site work package including grading, drainage, paving, landscaping, utilities, airfield lighting and communications, and the demolition of the existing tower once the new tower is commissioned.
