Proj Overview

The Sioux Falls Regional Airport has significantly enhanced its infrastructure with the completion of a four-level parking structure, adding nearly 1,000 covered spaces to accommodate increasing passenger volumes. Gage Brothers played a pivotal role in this project by providing architectural precast cladding and essential structural components.

Architectural Precast Cladding

Gage Brothers supplied architectural precast panels in two distinct finishes. The first finish, inspired by local Sioux Falls Quartzite, features a very light sandblast finish, while the second is a light buff tone with a light etch finish. These finishes not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the structure but also ensure durability and low maintenance.

Precast Stair Towers and Main Stair Elevator Lobby

In addition to the cladding, Gage Brothers provided precast components in the enclosed main lobby of the parking ramp. Grey structural walls, buff-colored insulated walls, precast beams, columns, hollowcore planks, and stair units were used in this space. The main lobby connects to a second-level
skyway, offering passengers a seamless and sheltered route to the airport terminal.

The successful completion of the Sioux Falls Regional Airport Parking Structure demonstrates the versatility and efficiency of precast concrete solutions in large-scale infrastructure projects. Precast concrete’s contributions have not only enhanced the functionality of the airport but also added to its aesthetic appeal, ensuring a positive experience for travelers year-round.
