Project Description:
After many years of use, the Army decided to build a new state-of-the-art Training and Maintenance facility to replace the pre-World War II building in north Omaha. The facility consisting of a Training Building, and Operational Maintenance Building required the coordination of several trades to complete the project. The facility is described as an 800 soldier facility serving 14 units. An average drill weekend will support over 250 soldiers. To complete the project on time an aggressive schedule was developed to allow all trades to complete their work. Creative and innovative methods of prefabrication were adopted. Nearly fifty percent of the project was prefabricated so that when our allotted installation time came up on the schedule we were able to reduce the time allotted which helped the project to move along at a faster pace. Autocad coordination drawings were critical for the success of this project. All sub-contractors participated in this process so that at the time of construction everyone knew what location their work would be installed. The contract required a vehicle wash recycle system. This closed loop system was designed through the value engineering process and the use of cad drawings provided by Midlands Mechanical, Inc. An HVAC commissioning team was developed for the final phase of the project to verify the successful completion of the HVAC system. Some components of the pump house are:
- 1,000 gallon expansion tank
- Pre-water filter
- Water Softener
- Ultraviolet light filter
