Design and construction to replace the underground chilled water distribution piping system at the Naval Air Technical Training Center. Work included replacing all piping from the mechanical plant (Building 3909) to all barracks (Buildings 3901-3908 and 3910), the Galley (Building 3900), the Medical Clinic (Building 3911), and the Enlisted Club (Building 3912). The new pipe was installed up to the locations of existing isolation valves at all twelve buildings served. New gate valves were installed where the new piping connected to the existing. Existing piping from the isolation valves to the buildings remained in place for use. The project site covered approximately 3,600 linear feet where new chilled water piping was installed. The new chilled water piping crossed under four roads that were to remain in use. Underground directional boring was utilized in these areas to not disturb the flow of traffic.

EMR was responsible for the four-phase renovation of Building 118 to bring it into compliance with applicable codes and regulations. Selective demolition included drywall and metal stud framing; vinyl composition tile; acoustical ceiling tile; windows; concrete masonry units, as necessary, to allow for the installation of structural members; guardrail/handrail; and roof planes. Repairs included replacing the HVAC system; repairing the electrical system; and refurbishing interior finishes, lighting, and exterior finishes. Work also included new state-of-the-art equipment in the control tower and below the cab observation level to meet requirements established by the National Airspace System Modernization Program and FAA standards.

EMR was awarded this task order to repair and replace aged, damaged, and deteriorated facility components for Building A and the connector to Building B at the Lakeside Bachelor Enlisted Quarters. Building A is a three-story 85,000 square foot structure. The second and third floors have 88 bedrooms for the sailors and the first floor is the common area, which houses the fitness club, restaurant, entertainment areas, office, and storage.
The main focus of the project was to replace the existing HVAC system, which had become inefficient and caused mold concerns throughout the building. The renovation also included a new entrance, roofing, site drainage, and the associated removal and replacement of ceilings and finishes required to accommodate the HVAC replacement. The new entrance included a new airlock vestibule at the main building entry for Building A and also provided the associated sidewalk and entrance paving required.
Prior to the replacement of the HVAC system, EMR placed 85,000 square feet of floor protection and more than 220,000 square feet of wall and furniture protection to assure that all existing finishes and furniture was safeguarded during construction. The administration and security departments were temporarily relocated during construction phasing, ensuring that they were never without air conditioning, heat, and/or power.
Sustainable design was integrated into the development and construction of the project through the use of items such as energy modeling, use of Energy-Star appliances, an energy compliance analysis to verify minimum 20 percent energy reduction goals below the pre-renovation 2003 “Commercial Buildings Energy Consumption Survey” baseline, and a lifecycle cost analysis of alternatives, in accordance with UFC 3-400-01: ENERGY CONSERVATION.
