Best Military Structure – 711th Human Performance Wing Complex in Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
The BRAC schedule called for base closures elsewhere in the country, placing the Complex project on a difficult timeline. The project hewed to a tight 24-month construction timeline that would allow full occupancy by September 30th, 2011. “It is nearly a miracle that we were able to take possession of a facility this large and complex 89 days ahead of the original schedule,” wrote Thomas Wells, Director of the 711th Human Performance Wing, in a letter of thanks to general contractor Archer Western/Butt Construction Joint Venture of Chicago, Ill.
According to Dave Mankowski, senior project manager for Archer Western/Butt Construction, “Partnering with High Concrete Group, the structural engineer, and the structural fabricator, we successfully allowed off-site fabrication of precast panels and structural steel to run concurrently. In essence, three major building components were being built both on-site and off-site at the same time during the winter months. As a result, sequencing of the structural steel erection and precast panel erection was able to begin concurrently in April, 2009, versus the original scheduled start of precast in July, 2009, a 90-day schedule improvement. That schedule improvement was maintained throughout the completion and turnover of the project which gave the government a near 90-day head start on moving into the entire 679,000-square-foot complex.”
