The construction of a new runway 9L-27R at Chicago O’Hare International Airport was part of the O’Hare Modernization Program (OMP).

SPAAN Tech and joint venture partner, A. Epstein and Sons International, Inc., provided the lead electrical engineering services to design and prepare construction documents for airfield electrical, lighting, signage, wind cones, and pavement sensors, for the new runway and associated taxiways.

SPAAN Tech also developed alternative airfield layouts to ensure that the final design was the best design.
