Scope Of Work
This multi-faceted project prepared Air Station Sacramento for the home basing of several new C-27 air frames as a replacement for the older C-130 aircraft. The broad scope of work included the complete design and construction of a bulk 3,000 gallon Liquid oxygen (LOX) storage and dispensing system, the installation of 108 aircraft tie downs into the operational TARMAC, the strengthening of rails and installation of new cranes in the Prop/Eng shop, widening and installing a new door for the Prop/Eng shop, explosion proofing the main hanger battery shop, and installation of new modular furniture and lockers throughout the Air Station. Sustainable Group key personnel self-performed many of the construction aspects of the project. The project was completed on time and within budget despite the discovery of possible contaminated soil underlying the project site. This discovery ultimately led to a redesign of the tie downs and of the LOX area in order to limit soil disturbance and to make funds available within the project to properly handle and potentially dispose of the expected contaminated material which ultimately led to a credit back to the Coast Guard. In addition, this project now serves as the model for C-27 beddown throughout the Coast Guard.
