We are proud to share the completion of another exciting project for the Dunkin’ franchise at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas.
Our team at Pyra IXI Engineering had the opportunity to provide MEP engineering services, including HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and kitchen exhaust systems, for this airport tenant improvement project.
Projects inside major airports come with a unique set of challenges. Beyond the typical design coordination, this project required going through the Houston Airport Authority’s rigorous review and approval process, ensuring all systems met strict operational, safety, and infrastructure requirements within an active airport terminal.
The mechanical design included a carefully coordinated HVAC and exhaust system layout to support the kitchen and service operations while complying with 2021 UMC and IECC standards and integrating into the existing airport infrastructure.
Delivering engineering solutions in environments like airports requires close collaboration between architects, contractors, franchise teams, and airport authorities. We’re proud to have been part of the team that helped bring this Dunkin’ location to life for travelers passing through IAH every day.
Thank you to everyone involved in making this project successful.
