Braun Intertec has been working at the Minneapolis/St. Paul (MSP) International Airport for more than 35 years. Vast knowledge and comprehensive services allow Commission to plan for unseen issues thereby reducing costs.

Our experience includes the Lindbergh Terminal expansion, roadways and bridges, airside facilities, storm sewer retention and outflow ponds and structures, tunnels below runways and the Air Reserve and National Guard bases. We even worked on the Light Rail Transit System and the bridges and roadways for Cedar Avenue and Interstate 494.

Our vast knowledge of the subsurface soil, bedrock and groundwater conditions, including our huge boring database, has enabled us to provide recommendations for design and construction with modified or eliminated drilling programs. This has allowed the Metropolitan Airports Commission, design and construction teams to reduce costs, expedite schedules and avoid problems that arise from unseen conditions.

Services

Experts from several areas of our interdisciplinary team have contributed to MSP Airport projects, including our experienced construction materials testing and inspection teams. Others range from field environmental inspection personnel to environmental consulting, and our environmental analytical laboratory. We also offer materials testing laboratories, services from industrial hygiene and air quality experts, pavement evaluation and testing personnel and structural metal and testing teams.

We have nationally certified testing and inspection personnel, and it’s our ability to anticipate and avoid problems that can really make a difference to our clients. When inevitable problems arise, we provide recommendations for remediation that help keep projects on schedule and budget.

Some of the specific projects we have worked on at and around the MSP Airport include:

• Parking ramps at the Lindbergh Terminal
• Elevated- and below-grade trains at the Lindbergh Terminal
• Lindbergh Terminal baggage tunnel
• Airport roadways and bridges
• Fourteen acres of storm sewer retention ponds and affiliated structures and pipes
