Alpha Contributes to Beautifying Colorado Roadways
After 15 years of planning, the massive Central 70 Project in Denver, CO is underway. The project will reconstruct a 10-mile stretch of I-70 between Brighton Boulevard and Chambers Road by adding a new express lane in each direction, remove the aging 54 year old viaduct, lower the interstate on a 2.5 mile portion between Brighton and Colorado boulevards and place 4 acre park over the top of it. This is where  ALPHA  will install all the  hot applied waterproofing  required to waterproof the park for Kiewit Meridiam Partners. This 1.2 billion dollar project is expected to take five years to complete.
Alpha & Florida Atlantic University Together Again
ALPHA  has partnered with DPR Construction and Florida Atlantic University for a 40 million dollar improvement to it's athletic facilities. The new Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence will play a central role to elevate FAU's academic and athletic standing while helping student-athletes reach their greatest potential! ALPHA has won the contract for  waterproofing expansion joint control , cementitious and intumescent fireproofing    and  spray applied insulation . DPR has been integral in the renovation to the existing facility and the new building for FAU. In turn, they have leaned heavily on  ALPHA  for not only the installation but in the design of the scopes we are handling for them. 
Another Project Comes Home to Roost
Mortenson has awarded the  waterproofing  and  firestopping  scopes on the USDA Southeast Poultry Research Lab project to  ALPHA . A result of a 141 million dollar federal grant, the project will completely replace several old buildings, as well as replace critical MEP systems in other existing structures. The updated laboratory, when completed, will be the largest poultry research facility in the United States. The Lab falls under the USDA's Agricultural Research Service, but The University of Georgia will also have students and faculty participating in collaborative research.
Continued Success Leads Alpha to Strong Partnerships
ALPHA has continued it's partnership with Hensel Phelps Construction and Turner-Kiewit Joint Venture on the new Orlando International Airport South Terminal C. The 2.1 billion dollar South Terminal will feature 16 new gates with capability to add others with future expansion. ALPHA will be performing intumescent fireproofing and above grade waterproofing packages on the Airside portion of the terminal with Hensel Phelps Construction and the waterproofing scope of work on the CEP Expansion and Parking Garage with Turner-Kiewit. The new Terminal C when completed in 2020 will increase Orlando Airports capacity to 50 million passengers annually.
ALPHA & OUR COMMUNITY
As adoption of the IBC Building Code requirements for 3rd Party On-site Inspection of Installed Firestop Systems expands ALPHA also found a need to expand from a single Factory Mutual (FM 4991) Approved location to five UL Qualified locations. ALPHA selected the Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) program because of UL's worldwide recognition as the leading 3rd Party testing agency and their involvement with educating the construction industry on Building Codes and approved products and services that are available to meet the ever expanding needs of the industry. ALPHA  locations in Atlanta, Austin, Dallas, Houston & Orlando have been evaluated by UL and found to comply with UL's Qualified Contractor program requirements.
