Crane · 2026
Eddy County Detention Center
Calsbad, NM · near Cavern City Air Trml (1.7 mi)
What this outcome means
The FAA studied the proposal and concluded it would not be a hazard to air navigation. A no-hazard determination is not permanent — it carries an expiration date, and if the structure is not built by then the case has to be re-filed.
The proposal, in the filer's words
"Two large cranes will be utilized in order to erect the precast concrete panels and the structural steel package. The crane for the precast panels is the largest (250ft max height) and will start the project and continue throught the points as all items within the area are completed. The largest crane will be set at Point 1 initially and will then proceed sequentially through Points 2 3 and 4 as construction progresses.\n\nThe second crane for structural steel (max height 200ft) will begin at Point 1 after the precast scope of work has been completed and that crane can move forward to the next area/point. It will then continue through Points 2 3 and 4 as the project advances."
