Ramtech recently returned to the aircraft maintenance and flight training facility we constructed for U.S. Aviation Academy in San Marcos, TX. Ramtech installed a 6,962 sq ft permanent modular building adjacent to the company’s existing hangar at San Marcos Regional Airport. The L-shaped building incorporates an indented wall to clear the hangar door frame while also optimizing the interior spatial efficiency. It includes five classrooms, four offices, a conference room, and breakroom area. The exterior features a faux stone wainscot with a full-height entry feature wall for refined curb appeal look.
The installation of the building overcame very tight access by using an 8,000-lb extended boom forklift in tandem with TransLift carriers. 
This allowed a precise setting of the modules on CMU block piers over a pad-on-grade foundation. The building is compliant with the 2015 IECC, and incorporates R-30 roof/floor and R-21 wall insulation, high-efficiency Bard wall-mounted HVAC units, and a reflective 60-mil white EPDM roof for reduced energy consumption in the Texas climate.
Ramtech returns this week to exhibit at the Texas Society of Architects 86th Annual Conference & Design Expo. The TxA25 conference is the premier architectural products showcase in the Southwest and offers an intensive three-day experience drawing thousands of industry professionals each year. Ramtech’s Business Development specialist Sabrina Queen will be on hand in Booth 203 to represent our relocatable buildings and permanent modular construction offerings to architects and other design professionals at the conference October 30-November 1st at the Hilton Anatole hotel in Dallas.
The Texas Society of Architects serves as the premier voice for Texas architecture, representing over 7,800 members with a mission is to advocate for the creation of safe, beautiful, and sustainable environments through robust legislative efforts, professional development programs, design awards, and educational initiatives like the Texas Architectural Foundation, which supports aspiring architects.

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.
