FlyRight
Project summary provided by submitting company.
This project was designed to house FlyRight Inc., a company who offers initial, recurrent, custom, and ancillary flight training in FAA approved full motion simulators. As an FAA-approved 142 Flight Training Center, they have achieved the highest level of accreditation from the FAA. Their programs offer leading-edge training with cutting edge flight simulators. The project is located on the entrance drive to Concord International Airport. A high level of coordination was required in order to obtain FAA approval for the crane used to lift the panels since the project was located directly in the main flight path.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
