Jaynes Corporation has been awarded a $10.8 million contract to construct the Southwest Gas Corporation’s new facility in Henderson. The Southeast Operations Center will be built on a 16 acre site located south of St Rose Parkway and east of the Henderson Airport. The project includes the construction of a 58,000 square foot concrete tilt up office/warehouse facility, a 14,000 square foot fabrication shop, and a sixteen building training facility complex as well as the construction of the streets and utilities to support the operations center. The training facility includes sixteen mock-up buildings and an open excavation area used to train employees. The buildings, built to look like homes, apartments and businesses are laid out to resemble city streets and neighborhoods. These buildings will allow SW Gas employees to train in a more realistic environment. The project is scheduled to be completed in early June of 2009.
