Ramtech Superintendent James Marrow Enters Retirement
For 12 years all of us at Ramtech were blessed to have the skills of James Marrow, one of the finest project superintendents our company has ever had. This month, James decided to take a well deserved retirement after a long career in construction management, to focus on the building of his new home that he and his wife have planned and dreamed about doing in East Texas. During the course of his tenure at Ramtech, James has been intimately involved in many of the highest profile projects that we have done during his time with us. These include both phases of the Concourse A expansions at Denver International Airport, the multi- story projects at Los Alamos National Laboratory, and one of our first permanent modular slab-on-grade commercial projects for Lifestyle Management in South Dallas. 
From all of us at Ramtech, thank you James for your years of dedicated service to help make Ramtech the premier modular construction company in the Southwest.

Ramtech Receives Two MBI Awards of Distinction Honors at the 2025 World of Modular Convention in Las Vegas
Ramtech added to our long collection of Modular Building Institute Awards of Distinction trophies by receiving two awards at this year’s 42nd annual 2025 World of Modular Conference and Tradeshow held April 7 – l0 at the Bellagio Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. A record 1,741 attendees gathered at the sold-out conference which focused on key themes including affordable housing, the current evolution of construction, and an introduction to modular construction.
Ramtech received our first first-place award in the Relocatable Modular Assembly category for our 26,200 square foot five-gate airport terminal extension for Denver International Airport’s Concourse A East ground loading facility. The building extends and expands the initial modular building Ramtech constructed for DIA in 2017. 
The Type II modular building was comprised of thirty-six 52-foot modules with open web steel trusses and perimeter structural and sub-floor shear walls which were oriented end-to-end to provide a 250 foot clear span facility that sits atop a proprietary stacked CMU pier foundation which was bonded to the existing tarmac surface. The industrial metal siding provides a clean exterior look with large windows and white and gray metal siding to match the original modular building and complement the sculpted canopy design of the adjacent DIA permanent structure. The building meets the standards set for the FAA’s compliant passenger gate waiting areas, including a 20-foot-wide continuous walkway and space for high-stooled charging workstations.
Ramtech also received an honorable mention trophy for our Los Alamos National Laboratory multi-use office building entry in the Permanent Modular Office category. Using our proprietary slab-on-grade ‘floorless’ modular system, the 23,300 square foot Type II two-story facility offers a clear span approach to the overall structure allowing for versatile space planning that includes 14 private offices, extensive open workspaces, upper and lower-level breakrooms, four communications rooms, men’s and women’s restrooms, modular elevator, and mechanical and electrical rooms. 
The building exterior was designed to complement the industrial nature of the adjacent area by using horizontal steel siding panels, while the interior utilizes a combination of carpet tile, porcelain tile and non-static VCT, along with textured and painted walls and 2×2 revealed edge acoustical tile in a slim-line grid system for the ceilings.

Ramtech Receives First Place MBI Awards of Distinction Honor at the 2023 World of Modular Convention
Ramtech is proud to announce that we have received a first place Awards of Distinction trophy at the 40th annual Modular Building Institute 2023 World of Modular Conference and Tradeshow held March 29 – April 1 at the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. Over 1,500 attendees gathered at the sold-out conference to network and hear speakers and presenters from across the globe.
Ramtech received our first first-place award in the Relocatable Modular Workforce Housing Under 10,000 Square Feet category for the 6,550 square foot temporary fire crew quarters we built and installed at Vance Air Force Base in Enid, Oklahoma. Designed for living quarters while the base’s existing facility is being remodeled, the temporary nature of the project mandated a limited permanent impact to the site so that the building could be easily disassembled and relocated. The modular building provides for nineteen bedrooms and a private office, men’s and women’s restroom/locker-rooms, a laundry room, janitor’s closets, a complete kitchen, a dining/day room, and physical fitness area. Using a double-loaded corridor layout, a combination of 12′ x 64′ and 12′ x 56′ modules were installed end-to-end, then perpendicularly connected to an off-set wing of 12′ x 62′ modules installed side-by-side. This allowed for the construction of the building utilizing only nine modules with no required site construction.
Ramtech Wins MBI Awards of Distinction First Place Trophy for Temporary Fire Crew Quarters at Vance AFB in Enid, OK.
The Interior wall coverings utilized FRP and VCG with an additional layer of ¼” gypsum between the bedroom walls to reduce sound transmission. Resilient vinyl tile was used in the restrooms, laundry, and kitchen, with carpet tile in the bedrooms and halls, and a poured rubber floor in the fitness room. The ribbed steel exterior features a beige and maroon color scheme to match the Fire Station, with exits leading to fully covered aluminum decks, steps and ramps that connect to the existing building. The shared areas were equipped with ducted, wall-mounted HVAC units with heat strips controlled by zoned thermostats. The individual bedrooms were heated and cooled with PTAC units to allow for rooms to go unconditioned when unoccupied.
