Project Will Upgrade Maintenance Infrastructure for Some of SFO’s Largest Aircraft SAN FRANCISCO, CA  – STV has been selected to provide  project delivery  services as a major subconsultant to the HCI/InnoActive joint venture for the renovation of the Superbay Hangar at San Francisco International Airport (SFO). The airport’s only facility capable of accommodating four Aircraft Design Group V (ADG-V) aircraft simultaneously, the Superbay Hangar supports some of the largest aircraft operating at SFO. The project will extend the service life of a critical operational asset while supporting the airport’s long-term safety, sustainability and performance goals. Originally built in 1969, the Superbay Hangar plays an important role in airport maintenance and operations, supporting day-to-day airfield activity and long-term operational readiness. Its unique size and capabilities make it one of SFO’s most strategically important facilities. Planned work includes mod...

Parsippany, NJ — As  SESI Consulting Engineers  (“SESI”) marks its 50th anniversary, the firm is addressing a fundamental shift that is reshaping real estate development across the Northeast: engineering feasibility is increasingly determining whether projects move forward long before design or approvals begin. Rising construction costs, evolving environmental regulations, infrastructure limitations, and extended municipal review timelines are driving developers to evaluate risk, cost, constructability, and sustainability at the earliest stages of site selection. As a result, geotechnical, environmental, and civil engineering input is now central to development decision-making, not simply design execution. “For fifty years, engineering often entered the process after a site was already under control and a concept was defined,” said Michael St. Pierre, President of SESI Consulting Engineers. “Today, we are involved much earlier in the process, and ...

ST. LOUIS – Lawrence Group is providing architecture, interior design, and planning services for East Central College’s new Allied Health and Advanced Manufacturing Building in Rolla, MO.
