We are making great strides in renovating the existing hangar for the Burlington Tech Center Aviation Program at the Burlington International Airport! Most of the demolition work has been completed, and all new under-slab drainage and infills are finished. Immense structural upgrades to the steel frame are underway, with 10 welders actively working at the ceiling, 45 feet above the ground. Additionally, work on the new cold-form metal framing has started. Looking ahead, exterior sitework is scheduled to begin in mid-April, and the siding and trim contractor is gearing up to start soon. This project involves the comprehensive renovation of an existing airplane hangar located at the Burlington International Airport in South Burlington, Vermont. The renovation will transform this space into a state-of-the-art Technical Center for the Burlington School District. The new facility will include dedicated spaces for theoretical and practical aviation education, advanced flight simulators for hands-on training, and workshops equipped for aviation maintenance and repair. Additionally, the center will house facilities for cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and training, a fully equipped woodworking shop, and spaces designed for automotive repair and maintenance training. There will also be designated areas for the storage of aircraft. This transformation aims to provide students with a modern, well-equipped environment to support a wide range of technical and vocational training programs, fostering the development of skills essential for future careers in aviation, manufacturing, and other […]

This week, DEW proudly joins the National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC) in celebrating Women in Construction Week (WIC) 2025. Since its inception in 1998, WIC Week has become a powerful platform to celebrate and promote the role of women in the construction industry. It highlights women’s contributions, raises awareness about the many opportunities available, and emphasizes the growing presence of women in the field. With a workforce gap exceeding half a million workers, the demand for skilled professionals is higher than ever. Everyone—regardless of gender—has a crucial role to play in meeting this challenge. Over the past decade, the number of women in construction has surged by 45%, and today, women make up 14.5% of the workforce, with more women entering skilled trades roles every year. This growth is essential to combat our industry’s labor shortage and brings in additional diverse talent, helping us build a stronger, more innovative workforce. Throughout this week and every week, we recognize the hardworking and talented women on our team who are helping to build the world around us. This year’s theme, ‘Together We Rise’, celebrates the strength and knowledge of women and the vital role they play in shaping the future of the construction industry. Join us in celebrating the talent, dedication, and hard work of women across the industry who are building the future, not just this week but all year […]
