A purpose-built snow removal equipment and maintenance facility will be constructed at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky.

The Lexington-Fayette Urban County Airport Board has awarded the design contract for the facility to Parsons Brinckerhoff.

The project will see design and construction administration for a 60,000-square-foot multi-purpose facility.

It will feature large vehicle maintenance bays, vehicle storage for specialty snow removal equipment, warehousing and equipment storage.

And it will include a vehicle wash bay, crew space including functional areas for shift work during snow removal events, and administrative support.

Parsons Brinckerhoff will be the prime consultant for the development – providing project management, construction administration, architecture, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, engineering, and quality oversight services.

The snow removal equipment and maintenance facility is expected to be completed by the summer of 2015.
