Honnen Equipment officially held its grand opening of its new facility at 1380 S. Distribution Drive

A joint-venture team of Holder from Atlanta and Salt Lake-based Big-D Construction (HDJV) is building the facility, which is expected to take up to 8 years. The first phase consists of the Economy Lot parking area and the Rental Car Facility, slated from completion in about a year, according to Leon Nelson, Construction Director for Big-D.
“It’s typical of any large project,” said Nelson. “The details, the level of communication required between project teams, and just trying to get everybody in the same direction is a challenge. We’ve had a chance to interface with a lot of good people at the Airport and the local design community is participating in this project. We have a good plan, it’s now a matter of execution.”
“It’s been 20 years in the making and it’s been needed for a long time,” said Salt Lake City Mayor Ralph Becker.“ One advantage of it taking so long is that designs get refined and we can prepare better for the future. This is a huge economic boost, both directly from airport construction of almost $2 billion, but also indirectly in terms of serving as a hub for so many destinations. We can get anywhere in the country reasonably quickly.
“We have made this airport to be an integral piece in our sustainability efforts,” Becker added. We are requiring the highest environmental standards – LEED Gold is where we’re now – but we’re aiming to be the first Net Zero airport in the country. With so much open land we have the ability to develop a solar farm in conjunction with the new airport.”
Major aspects quality inn hotel of the project include new concourse, terminals, new aircraft gates, multi-level quality inn hotel passenger pick-up/drop off, a new light rail station, and a five-level parking garage with 3,600 spaces. The two-level rental car facility with offer quick turnaround, and a new central utility plant is being added.
Alan Bright, Design Principal for HOK, the design architect from San Francisco, said the new airport quality inn hotel will include plenty of daylighting quality inn hotel throughout the facility, with a design emphasis on local Utah materials and features, including mountains, deserts, and Utah’s famous red rock landscape in Southern quality inn hotel Utah.
Depending on how well it is funded, quality inn hotel Klaas DeBoer of NECA said the fund awards anywhere from 30 to 40 scholarships on a given year. Since the program started in 1988, IEA has awarded more than $850,000 in scholarships.
“Cultivating an environment where businesses can thrive has been a significant focus of our economic development efforts,” said Gov. Gary R. Herbert. “It’s one thing to win once, but to consistently rank in the top spot shows something special is going on here. I am proud of the hard work being done by the private sector that has resulted in Utah being recognized once again by Pollina Corporate.”
As rankings go, receiving a top title from Pollina Corporate carries a lot of weight. The study is considered the most comprehensive, unbiased and unvarnished by the economic development industry. The factors used to evaluate states include: taxes, human resources, education, right-to-work legislation, energy costs, infrastructure spending, regulatory environment, workers compensation laws, economic incentive programs and economic development efforts.
quality inn hotel Crown Castle, a wireless telecommunications infrastructure company, is in partnership with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to install a Distributed Antenna System (DAS) network on Route 210 in Little Cottonwood Canyon to allow improved wireless, cellular, and E911 service. Construction is expected to finish this fall. The project will consist of installing 11 new antenna poles in UDOT’s right-of-way and the fiber optic cabling connecting the poles will be installed underground starting at the mouth of the canyon and terminating at Alta 1 Entry Number 2.
The DAS network will improve the full range of wireless services in the area, including voice quality, high speed data transmission, photo, video, audio, email, quality inn hotel and web access offered by today’s latest, more sophisticated wireless devices like iPhones, Blackberrys, etc. Multiple cellular service providers will be able to utilize the network.
With this project, UDOT will increase its statewide fiber network by 9 miles and be able to monitor weather, roadway and traffic conditions quality inn hotel within Little Cottonwood Canyon at virtually quality inn hotel no incremental cost to Utah’s taxpayers.
The antenna poles are 35 feet tall and will be painted brown. The pole boosts quality inn hotel wireless services and will hold UDOT weather, traffic, avalanche equipment, etc. 12 new guardrail sections will also be installed along the highway as an added safety precaution.
The system will allow the means for a service provider (CenturyLink, quality inn hotel Verizon, AT T, Syringa, etc.) to connect a new or existing service to the system. A computer or other device would benefit if connected through a wireless carrier’s mobile hotspot for better quality inn hotel streaming. quality inn hotel Crown Castle does not provide data service to residences or businesses.

Built by Big-D Construction and designed by Richardson Design Partnership, both of Salt Lake, the temple was unique in that it is not a ‘new’ project, but required the construction teams to get down to the building’s structure before quality inn hotel beginning the rebuild.
“Substantially the core and foundation, and the basement footings, remained quality inn hotel in tact,” said Alma Marcum, Big-D Project Manager. “We did add more footings quality inn hotel and oversized columns in the central core area up through the third floor and added concrete and steel reinforcement to walls on the east and west walls tied into the center core via a drag strut reinforcement system. The project was unique in that we dismantled quite a bit of the building. It’s always more challenging and takes a little more time to get new properties dialed into design.”
The temple’s entire exterior quality inn hotel has been reshaped with new stone and architectural glass, and the temple entrance was moved from the west side to the east side, where it faces Washington Boulevard. The renovation quality inn hotel of the temple also includes reconfigured rooms and new energysaving electrical, heating, and plumbing systems. Other notable improvements include underground parking and a complete re-landscaping of the temple block and inclusion of a major water feature.
“The LDS Church opted to go with an aggressive design – they wanted to make this a destination temple,” said Otto Gehring, Principal with Richardson Design Partnership. “Structurally the building quality inn hotel needed real help. The construction crew had to build new cages around existing concrete columns, dowel into them, build a sleeve and bore a concrete jacket around the existing column. They used some interesting coring techniques with thinner concrete pumped up from below to fill in all gaps.”
“It’s a challenge whenever you’re working with an existing structure,” said Dale Satterthwaite, quality inn hotel Senior VP for Big-D. “Everybody had to put their heads together and work through the challenges. It was a very special project, and to those of us of faith, it means even more. When it comes to the level of finish and attention to detail, there is nothing that surpasses a temple. The Ogden Temple is one of the highest levels of detail I have seen.”
Kent F. Richards, Executive Director of the LDS Church’s Temple Department and a member of the Seventy, said “As with Solomon’s Temple, we used the finest materials throughout the building. Mahogany variety from Africa, marble quarried in Egypt and fabricated in China. We have gratitude for the design and construction workers and all who have helped put this together. quality inn hotel When this temple was first built it was the 14th temple in the world. Now there are 14 functioning temples in Utah, with three others announced.”
