Minimized Facility Downtime

We respect the resource that is your facility uptime. Downtime of a runway or other airport facility applies undue pressure to the remaining airport infrastructure. Safe and efficient return of your facility's entire operation — and the savings related to reduced project durations — checks every box in our core purpose and values.

Trusted and Collaborative Team Members

The Sargent project management team brings centuries of experience in managing both our work and that of subcontractors. Oftentimes, owners award projects to multiple contractors and cooperation between them can make or break a project. Sargent's willingness and ability to lead cooperatively is second to none.
