Sanford Contractors Supports Aviation Infrastructure

Large airport hangar at Raleigh Executive Jetport built by Sanford Contractors

Sanford Contractors’ Commercial Building Division continues to support aviation infrastructure and airport construction projects, with several hangar facilities currently underway at Raleigh Executive Jetport.

Our team is delivering two private hangars and preparing to begin concurrent construction of the new TTA Corporate Hangar. Work within active airfield environments requires careful phasing, close coordination with airport operations, and disciplined execution to maintain safety while minimizing disruption to daily activity.

While these projects focus on vertical construction, they reflect a broader aviation capability that integrates both building and infrastructure expertise.

Sanford Contractors supports aviation clients through multiple divisions. Our Commercial Building Division delivers hangars, terminal facilities, and supporting aviation structures through hard bid, design-build assist, and full design-build delivery methods. Preconstruction services play an important role in this work, allowing our team to provide early cost analysis, constructability reviews, and detailed scheduling that help airport owners make informed decisions and maintain project budgets.

At the same time, our Site Development Division has completed complex infrastructure improvements that support airport expansion and modernization. Our portfolio includes highway relocation to accommodate runway expansion, runway and taxiway extensions, installation of runway lighting and MALSR systems, and completion of approach lighting, paving, striping, and associated utility infrastructure.

By self-performing key site and utility scopes, Sanford Contractors maintains greater control over coordination, schedule, and quality. That integrated approach allows our teams to deliver aviation projects efficiently while maintaining the operational awareness required within active airport environments.

Across the state, Sanford Contractors has built a reputation as a dependable partner to public agencies. Our leadership remains engaged, communication is direct, and our teams understand the importance of maintaining safe, uninterrupted operations while construction is underway.

Aviation projects require more than construction expertise. They require careful coordination, regulatory awareness, and a disciplined approach to planning and execution.

Sanford Contractors is proud to contribute to the infrastructure that supports North Carolina’s aviation network and the communities these airports serve.
