Happy Labor Day! Reflecting on the origins of the holiday, GMA is proud to have renovated the Pullman National Monument Administration and Clock Tower building for the National Park Service. In 1894, the building was the site of the Pullman Strike, a massive workers strike that led to the creation of Labor Day. 2,000 Pullman workers walked off the job, kicking off a three-month-long strike that halted railroad transportation in the United States.

Critical infrastructure upgrades are coming to O’Hare International Airport (ORD). The Turner Paschen Aviation Partners are preparing to launch the 17' outside diameter, 14.5’ inside diameter tunnel boring machine scheduled to mine 8000 feet of segmental tunnel. This iconic project will redirect major stormwater flows and will allow for the existing central detention basin to be filled, paving the way for new north-south taxiways, and the eventual construction of future concourses.
