Lambert International Airport Airfield Maintenance & Snow Removal Equipment Facility

Location: St. Louis, Missouri
Completion: Late 2027
Square Footage: 285,000 SF
Estimated Construction Cost: $114.9 Million

Wright Construction Services is proud to serve as the General Contractor for the new Airfield Maintenance and Snow Removal Equipment Facility at St. Louis Lambert International Airport — a key project in the airport’s West Airfield Program.

The 285,000-square-foot complex will consolidate critical airfield operations, including snow removal, the airport auto shop, materials warehousing, landscaping, and maintenance all under one roof. Currently, these operations are spread across nine outdated buildings, some more than 50 years old.

This modernized facility represents a significant investment in the airport’s long-term infrastructure, improving operational efficiency, safety, and sustainability. Once complete, the facility will provide the airport’s 24/7 operations team with expanded indoor space to maintain and store vital equipment, reducing wear and tear while enhancing response capabilities during inclement weather.

Funded through a $20 million FAA grant, $4.6 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and additional bond funding from airport carriers, the project underscores a strong partnership between local and federal agencies to advance the future of St. Louis air travel.
