JE Dunn Construction is honored and privileged to announce the completion of the Myrtle Beach Airport concourse expansion project, a joint venture with Southside Constructors, Inc. The team celebrated the occasion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Monday, Dec. 1, welcoming elected officials from both state and local government. During the event, organizers unveiled an 18-inch commemorative plaque, recognizing JE Dunn and Southside as an “Additional Partner” in this transformative project.
The project’s primary architect Brad Sucher, Senior Vice President with Gresham Smith, offered additional examples about how these design choices are ultimately in service of the passenger experience. “A couple of things I really like about this facility…
This project required a collaborative approach when it came to planning the execution of the work. Maintaining operations is always a top priority when it comes to working in an active airport. To ensure gates became operational as quickly as possible, the team expedited the preconstruction phase, taking care to include a detailed plan that would guarantee all existing jet bridges stayed in service during the peak tourism season.
“The JE Dunn Southside team is incredibly grateful to Horry County and all our project partners for trusting us to help bring this vision to life,” said Nick Christoffersen, JE Dunn’s Vice President – Aviation Group Manager. “This expansion isn’t just about adding gates or square footage — it’s about supporting growth, improving the passenger experience, and investing in the long-term success of this community. “
