Murray Company was one of several subcontractors at the LAX Terminal 4 & Terminal 5 Modernization Program with Hensel Phelps & W. E. O’Neil invited to participate in the LAX ACE Trades Day on Saturday, January 24, 2026.

On the HVAC side, students had the chance to assemble duct work using a Speed Impact Wrench. On the piping side, Kyle Alvarez gave instruction on how to tube-bend.
It’s always our mission at events like this where our teams afforded some face time, to create deep curiosity and answer any questions these curious teens may have about our industry and the opportunities that are available to them in skilled trades and the office alike. These young, bright minds are heading in the right direction, pursuing careers in the A/E/C industry & our teams are always eager to show them the way.
