Project experience

Work that had to be right — on runways that couldn't close for long.

A selection of the airfield electrical, lighting, NAVAID, and power programs LEAN has delivered as prime consultant, electrical engineer of record, and trusted specialty partner.

Coast to coast

Where we've done the work.

Deep roots on the West Coast — SFO, OAK, LAX, SNA, SMF, SLC, RNO — with programs reaching the mountain west, the East Coast's busiest hubs, and abroad.

Runway relocations, fast-track overlays, vault replacements, NAVAID upgrades, and on-call task orders — the recurring, mission-critical work that keeps an airfield operating.
