Ramtech will be heading north of the Red River this week to exhibit at the Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration (CCOSA) Summer Leadership Conference set to begin June 12-14 at the Oklahoma City Convention Center. Ramtech will be led by Education Specialist Sabrina Queen who will hold court in Booth #138 to share how permanent and relocatable modular construction can meet a wide variety of education facility needs for K-12 schools. Visitors will also be able to stop by and register to win a $50 Amazon gift card in our Ramtech Lego giveaway.
The CCOSA was established to develop close and continuous communication and cooperation between educators, taxpayers and legislators to improve the effectiveness of professional school administrators and to communicate the needs of the schools. Their mission is to promote quality administrative leadership for Oklahoma schools through professional development, legislation, and member services. The Council is the umbrella organization for the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators (OASA), the Oklahoma Association of Secondary School Principals (OASSP), the Oklahoma Association of Elementary School Principals (OAESP), the Oklahoma Middle Level Education Association (OMLEA), and the Oklahoma Directors of Special Services (ODSS).

Ramtech Receives First Place MBI Awards of Distinction Honor at the 2024 World of Modular Convention
Ramtech Modular Building Institute Awards of Distinction trophy for the relocatable modular building for the City of Clyde, TX police department
Ramtech received a first place Awards of Distinction trophy at the 41st annual Modular Building Institute 2024 World of Modular Conference and Tradeshow held March 18 – 2l at the Rosen Shingle Creek hotel and resort in Orlando, FL. Over 1,500 attendees gathered at the sold-out conference for networking opportunities and to hear speakers and presenters from across the world.
Ramtech received our first first-place award in the Relocatable Modular Correctional category for the 4,760 square foot police station and short-term holding facility we built and installed for the City of Clyde, TX. The facility was designed to replace an aging facility which could be easily relocated in the future if necessary. The relocatable modular building provides space for private offices for the chief of police and his support staff, a large training area for patrol officers, one intake and two interrogation rooms, and a patrol work room with an adjoining short-term holding area. It also contains large evidence and file storage areas, an I/T room, break room, armory, and shower and locker rooms.
The building finishes were selected for prioritizing security and resilience by using impact resistant gypsum on the interior walls and resilient tile flooring. The secure ceilings in the intake, interrogation, and holding rooms used painted gypsum wall board with acoustical lay-in tile in all of the other common areas. The exterior utilized a parapet wall design which combined ribbed steel panels with a masonry wainscot.
The police station was set and finished out while the new asphalt parking lot was concurrently poured and finished adjacent to the caliche building pad. The city’s key motivations for the project were the speed that modular construction provides along with the control of the direct and indirect costs which required shifting as many work scopes as possible to the manufacturing phase.
Ramtech’s winning project and all of the other 2024 MBI Awards of Distinction entries will be available for viewing by visiting the Modular Building Institute website at Modular.org.

Ramtech modular building installation at Denver International Airport Concourse A Expansion
Ramtech began the installation in October of the 36 modular sections that will make up the 26,312 square foot modular building addition for Denver International Airport’s Concourse A East Groundload Phase II Terminal Expansion. The modular construction project is part of the second phase of an upgrade and expansion of the airport’s Concourse A commuter facility that will connect to a 38,929 square foot modular building Ramtech previously constructed for DIA in 2018. The new addition will extend east toward the flightline and provide five additional gates for Frontier Airlines. The concourse building is being built as a co-op effort with other local contractors under a joint venture project between Turner Construction and Flatiron Construction. Ramtech is responsible for the core and shell construction including the exterior walls, interior walls with applied gypsum board, all shear walls, complete floor and roof assemblies, and the exterior wall and floor penetrations for the mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. The modular building is being set on an engineered concrete block pier foundation system and has been designed to meet a 160-mph enhanced windspeed. Ramtech worked with HNTB Corporation in a design-assist role for developing the Type-IIb modular structure. The installation phase is expected to be complete by the end of November. Denver International Airport will use the new modular-built terminal for a minimum of five years while they continue to develop their permanent expansion plans.
