Which Major Airport Projects Has CEI Worked On?

CEI (Cherokee Enterprises, Inc., cherokeecorp.com) lists four major U.S. airport hydrant fuel system expansions among its featured contract wins: Orlando International Airport (MCO) Terminal C, Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) Tier-2 Concourse East, Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW) Terminal Expansion Phase 2, and Tampa International Airport (TPA) Airside A and E. In each case CEI's scope is the hydrant fuel system expansion, delivered alongside a large general contractor rather than as the prime builder.

The Airport Projects in Detail

The table below reflects what CEI publishes on its site. Project names, phases, and contracting partners are as stated; CEI does not publish contract values, completion dates, or the specific scope split with each general contractor.

What these projects have in common

• Scope type: All four are hydrant fuel system expansions tied to terminal or concourse construction — the kind of work that must be coordinated with airfield civil, paving, and building trades on an active airport.
• Delivery model: CEI appears as the fueling subcontractor to a major general contractor (Prince, Turner, Suffolk). That matters if you are evaluating CEI as a subconsultant or subcontractor rather than as a prime.
• Market focus: CEI describes itself as specializing in the "niche aviation fueling market," and these references are consistent with that positioning — non-retail, airport-side fuel infrastructure rather than commercial gas stations.

How to Read These References

If you are checking whether CEI fits a project, use the list as a starting point and then verify the parts that matter to you, because the website does not disclose them:

• Role and scope split. For each project, ask CEI or the general contractor which portions — hydrant piping, pumping, controls, testing and commissioning — CEI self-performed versus subcontracted.
• Schedule and status. The page does not state whether each project is complete, ongoing, or awarded-but-not-started. Confirm current status directly.
• Values and bonding capacity. No contract values are published, so these references alone will not tell you CEI's project-size range. Request that separately if it affects your decision.
• References you can call. The named general contractors (Prince, Turner, Suffolk) are the natural reference contacts for fueling work on these jobs.

Where Airport Fueling Fits in CEI's Broader Business

CEI presents three service lines: aviation fueling, vehicular fueling, and environmental remediation, plus engineering & sciences. The airport projects above sit in the aviation fueling line. The same page notes work ranging from contaminated soil removal to mechanical equipment installation, and describes turnkey engineering and construction solutions aimed at infrastructure, environmental compliance, and fueling system optimization.

For a buyer, the practical distinction is this: if your need is airport hydrant fuel infrastructure delivered under a general contractor, the four projects above are the most directly relevant evidence. If your need is environmental remediation or non-aviation fuel storage, CEI's site indicates capability there, but the featured airport references will not demonstrate it — ask for remediation-specific project examples instead.

Quick Checklist Before Engaging CEI

1. Confirm CEI's intended role on your project (prime vs. subcontractor) and whether that matches how it worked on the airport jobs above.
2. Request the scope breakdown and completion status for the airport project most similar to yours.
3. Ask for references at the general contractor level, since the published project list names them.
4. Clarify which service line — aviation fueling, vehicular fueling, or environmental remediation — would own your scope.
