DACO CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC

DACO CONSTRUCTION COMPANY INC specializes in the design and execution of critical aviation infrastructure projects, with deep expertise in runway systems, approach lighting, and air navigation aid installations. The company delivers precision civil construction services for FAA-regulated airfields, including the replacement of Visual Approach Slope Indicators (VASI) with Precision Approach Path Indicators (PAPI), installation of Sequenced Flashing Lights (ALSF), glide slope and localizer upgrades, and Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) platform construction. Their technical proficiency spans compliance with FAA AC 150/5345-53 and 150/5345-46 standards, concrete and asphalt paving for runway safety areas, and the integration of lighting systems with airport control infrastructure. DACO’s niche lies in complex, high-safety-demand aviation projects requiring strict adherence to federal aviation specifications and minimal operational disruption during execution. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-standing relationship with the Department of Transportation, particularly through its Federal Aviation Administration divisions, delivering mission-critical airfield modernization and safety enhancement work across diverse geographic regions—from Texas and Arizona to Hawaii and Illinois. Their work consistently supports the modernization of terminal and en route navigation systems, demonstrating an understanding of FAA technical manuals and airport operational constraints. DACO’s primary industry focus is in commercial and institutional building construction, heavy civil engineering, and power/communication line construction—all applied within the aviation sector. They are not a general contractor but a specialized player in airport infrastructure, positioning themselves as a trusted provider for FAA-funded safety and capacity upgrades. As a Women-Owned Small Business and Woman-Owned Business certified firm headquartered in Norfolk, Nebraska, DACO leverages its small business status to compete effectively in federal procurement while maintaining a nimble, technically focused operational model. Their geographic presence is national, driven by project location rather than regional offices, enabling responsive deployment to airfield sites nationwide.
