terminal and concourse facilities; removal/replacement of a million 
square feet of concrete paving; 
new baggage handling, jet 
re-fueling, security,

Bulk Fuel Storage Facility at
Raleigh/Durham Airport 
Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina

Caddell constructed a new fuel
hydrant pumping complex which included eight 1000-GPM pumps,
eight filter/separators, and piping
and accessories for connection 
to three 51,000-BBL storage tanks
with a terminal apron hydrant 
fueling system. All work was 
performed during regular 
ongoing airport operations and completed on-time and on-budget despite significant logistical
challenges.

Renovations to McKinley Climatic
Test Chamber  
Eglin AFB, Florida

Caddell was selected to perform two separate renovation /enhancement 
projects for this one-of-a-kind laboratory and test chamber 
featuring a hangar large enough to accommodate a C5-A transport
aircraft with engines at full throttle while varying the temperature inside
from between 165°F+ to less than 75°F below zero. These highly
complex projects encompassed a wide range of sophisticated 
mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and structural upgrades. 

Caddell’s performance earned the First Place National Award in the 
Excellence in Construction competition sponsored by the Associated Builders 
and Contractors.
