KCI supported several contractors on Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Construction & Design/Build Contracts with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District. The scope of work included design of new facilities or utility systems of various types, sizes, and complexities; design of projects on Army installations; sustainable design utilizing the SPiRiT or LEED rating tools; rehabilitation of existing facilities or utility systems of various types, sizes, and complexities; application of Anti-Terrorist/Force Protection criteria; cost engineering; construction phase services including shop drawing review and preparation of O&M manuals; and CADD delivered in the (*dgn) format. Tasks include:
JSOC Mezzanines, N.C. KCI provided engineering services for construction of new mezzanines for three buildings in the JSOC area. The project included preparation of steel framing plans, electrical/lighting design, and extension of fire protection/sprinkler system.
“Red Ramp” Tank Creek Stream Restoration, Air Force Base, N.C. KCI provided a “Stream/Wetland Corrective Actions and Management Plan for the Tank Creek Mitigation” to bring the project into compliance with the approved Wetlands Mitigation Plan and Stream Mitigation Plan approved by the North Carolina DENR Water Quality Division and U.S. Army Engineer District, and related 404 and 401 permits. The project included; topographic surveys, sediment transport analysis, hydrology and hydraulic testing, alternative selection and documentation, and stream/wetland remedial action plan.
Access Control Points, N.C. In response to the increased emphasis on security, KCI designed six Control Points (ACPs) that are characterized by channelized traffic entrance lanes monitored by tollbooth style guard shacks. The six sites required surveys and civil, transportation, structural, geotechnical, hydraulics, electrical/mechanical/plumbing engineering as well as many security features including pop-up bollards, pop-up wedges, guard booths, camera pits and specialized lighting.
Upgrade Main Entrance and Parking, JSOC. The project included a shifted roadway entrance to coordinate with the future All-American Freeway project. Portions of the existing JSOC perimeter road had to be re-located along with some fencing, cameras and lighting. The plans incorporated a new parking layout and an inspection canopy. The most striking feature of this design is the underground storm water management system. This project incorporated site design, transportation design, hydraulics, structures, electrical lighting and power.
Military Perimeter and Road, JSOC. KCI provided engineering services for construction of a perimeter road. The project included installation of security fencing with alarms, surveillance, lighting and site improvements to support minimum force protection for the JSOC property. This project included Phase I Environmental Site Assessment and a Record of Environmental Concern. The site is monitored by the Installation Restoration Program. Work included a boundary survey and topographic mapping and development of typical roadway sections with vertical and horizontal alignments for approximately 1200 feet of roadway. Geopak was used to balance earthwork for the site, creating a zero borrow situation. Drainage design and erosion and sediment control plans were completed and permits obtained.
