The new Rapid City Load Transfer Facility for Midwest Motor Express, Inc. will finish up this Spring with the completion of landscaping, fencing, and sidewalks. The facility is located at 3720 Seger Dr., and includes 1900 SF of Office space and 11,100 SF of Loading Dock. The Loading Dock area was constructed using a pre-engineered metal building, while masonry and wood was utilized for the Front Office construction. This new location and facility will much better serve the needs and interstate access of this rapidly expanding company that was previously located on Deadwood Ave.

Dean Kurtz Construction in association with the design firm of Leo A Daly was recently awarded a contract to design and construct a fully operational space with critical utility infrastructure at the 4850 level (approximately one mile below ground). The new space will house the Compact Accelerator System for Preforming Astrophysical Research (CASPAR). The project presents many challenges. Just accessing the worksite involves riding an elevator cage one mile down and then travelling horizontally .6 mile. Stay tuned to our newsfeed for more as this exciting project develops!
