Scope Of Work
This project was performed for Florida State College at Jacksonville and was funded via a grant from The Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The primary purpose of the project was to improve the site and construct the supporting infrastructure for an Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Simulator. Due to the specific spray foam used to simulate aircraft fire fighting, all site water has to be collected, contained, and treated prior to release. There were several challenges encountered during construction and since there were only two (2) other of these facilities in existence at the time and each unique to its location, we had to work closely with the A/E, Owner, and simulator manufacturer to insure successful completion of this project. Our ability and willingness to “Partner” was a significant factor in controlling costs and limiting construction delays.
