Services: Civil, transportation, structural, geotechnical, hydrologic/hydraulic and environmental engineering, environmental remediation, landscape architecture, geographic information systems, surveying

KCI provided civil engineering and design services, including civil, structural, geotechnical and environmental services under this contract for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. All plans were prepared in AutoCAD 13 and were designed in accordance with Navy design standards and specifications prepared in SPECS-IN-TACT. Cost estimates were prepared in the Navy’s CES format. KCI also provided wetland, erosion and sediment control, and stormwater management permits to North Carolina’s DENHR and Maryland’s MDE. As part of the Camp Lejeune project, KCI utilized GIS technology for identification of wetlands and determination of the impacts for the projects. Permits were prepared in GIS ArcView and AutoCAD for submission and COE approval. Tasks included:

Preparation of PEP Document and Final Design for MCON Project, Marine Corps Base, N.C. The project involved preparation of a PEP (Parametric Estimating and Programming Report) and final design of 1,800 meters of vehicle road; 11,000 meters of perimeter roads; a 38-meter observation tower; five mock buildings including maintenance building, and control tower; a bridge replacement including hydraulic analysis of the stream crossing; five landing zones with access roads; 6,500 meters of electric lines; and 13,000 meters of telephone lines. Systems were designed to minimize impact to wetlands, which was difficult since the project area—80 percent wetlands. KCI provided survey; geotechnical evaluation; field review; cost estimates; specifications; roadway, bridge, building; and utility design; plans prepared in AutoCAD; erosion and sediment control; stormwater management; and wetland design and permits.

Cost Certification Document and Final Design (DD 1391 Plus) for MCON Project (Infrastructure and Physical Area) and MCON Project (Miscellaneous Road and Utility Construction), Marine Corps Base, N.C. KCI provided field review, preliminary engineering, sketches, photographs, and scope and cost documentation for two fiscal year projects. The first project included 5,000 meters of trails, 24,000 meters of perimeter and access roads, 56 kilometers of fencing, 4,400 meters of telephone line, 8,500 meters of sewer line with pumping stations, 5,600 meters of water line, 9,400 meters of electric with several substation transformers, two building renovations, one 32 meter bridge, and three 38 meter observation towers. Project two includes 32,000 meters of perimeter and access roads; 11,000 meters of telephone line; 1,100 meters of new water line; 640 meters of new sewer line and pump station; 1,400 meters of electric; one tower; one instructional building; one field service head; one bleacher enclosure; erosion and sediment control, stormwater management, and wetland permits; and hydraulic analysis for roadway and bridge crossings of streams.

Repairs to Air Force Base, Md. The project involved replacement of 39 acres of degrading concrete pavement. KCI surveyed the active apron and taxiway including work in a zone requiring escorts. A geotechnical evaluation was conducted on the active apron and taxiway including impacted soils requiring storage and disposal of tailings. The design of the new reinforced concrete apron pavement included recycling existing concrete pavement as a subbase aggregate, and an asphalt stabilized drainage layer to Air Force wheel loading requirements. Fuel contaminated soil was recycled as base material with geogrid reinforcement for low bearing areas. Work also included removal of existing abandoned aircraft fueling hydrants and associated piping; construction of a new underdrain system to connect to the existing storm drain system; and taxiway, apron, fire lane, and protected area pavement marking and striping. The project was constructed in phases, which required aircraft maintenance of traffic and special temporary concrete joint construction details. The erosion and sediment control and stormwater management permits were acquired for the entire site.
