McCarthy Flies Toward Another Aviation Project

McCarthy Building Cos. joined forces with HPM Leadership, Airbus Helicopters Inc. and Helisim to develop a helicopter pilot simulation training center in the Dallas suburb of Grand Prairie, TX.

The 18,000-square-foot Helsium Simulation Center, adjacent to Airbus Helicopters Inc. on North Forum Drive, is the company’s first North American training facility, with completion scheduled for March 2020.

The facility will house two helicopter flight simulators, as well as 6,000 square feet of office space, computer rooms and workshop and meeting spaces. McCarthy is working on the design-build project with BOKA Powell, LA Fuess, Reed Wells Benson and Pacheco Koch.

McCarthy is also at work on a 240,000-square-foot Tech Ops MX Hangar for Southwest Airlines at Houston’s Hobby Airport, SWA’s 141,000-square-foot Leadership and Aircrew Development Center in Dallas, and a canopy and renovation project for Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.
