Ramtech Completes Payment Center for Lower Rio Grande Public Water Works Authority
Ramtech recently had the opportunity to visit and photograph the payment center that we built for Lower Rio Grande Public Water Works Authority. The 5,724 square foot facility was constructed using our slab-on-grade permanent 
modular construction method. The Type V-B building features an EIFS exterior and EPDM roof, with an interior that includes textured and painted walls complemented by durable LVT flooring. Split system HVAC units were installed for efficient heating and cooling in the desert environment. The design incorporates plastic laminate cabinets and solid surface countertops for a modern, functional aesthetic. The storefront entries and windows provide ample natural light and a professional appearance. The layout includes multiple payment windows in the entry area, open office spaces, private offices, boardroom area, engineering office, conference rooms, and an employee break area. 
The Lower Rio Grande Public Water Works Authority currently consists of twelve water systems in five separate areas providing service to sixteen communities (15 Colonias) in southern Dona Ana County, New Mexico. The LRGPWWA’s five service areas total about 266 square miles, and provides water service to just over 5,300 connections.

Ramtech Completes Modular Building Manufacturing Phase For Denver International Airport Concourse A Expansion
Ramtech modular building manufacturing of the Concourse A addition for Denver International Airport.
Ramtech has completed the manufacturing 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.
Manufacturing of an exterior wall section for the modular building Concourse A addition at Denver International Airport.
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 will be 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 commence during the first week of September and take six weeks to complete. 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.

Vice-President of Design and Development Roland Brown of Ramtech Building Systems
The office of Governor Greg Abbott has announced the reappointment of Ramtech’s Roland Brown to another term on the Texas Industrialized Building Code Council. Roland is one of twelve new and existing member appointments made by Governor Abbot to the 12 member council. Originally appointed by former Governor Rick Perry in October of 2010, Roland will continue to serve as the Presiding Officer of the council which functions as an advisory board for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on issues related to the regulation of the industrialized housing and commercial modular building industries.
Roland has long served as Ramtech’s Vice President of Design and Development, overseeing the architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and civil designs for the relocatable and permanent modular building projects that we develop across multiple industries and uses. He also previously served as the Government Affairs Chairman and President of the Board of Directors of the Modular Building Institute, the international nonprofit trade association that serves the commercial modular construction industry. Roland is a member of the International Code Council where he has been an active advocate for addressing code and compliance issues that affect the commercial modular building industry.
Roland began his career in the modular industry in 1981, and since that time has developed a long track record of creating innovative and unique structural designs which have made significant contributions to the technical evolution of the commercial modular industry. These innovations include Ramtech’s award winning slab-on-grade permanent modular construction process, a grade level approach which allows for modular building sections to be set and attached directly onto a conventional concrete slab foundation.
