Published
in "The Welding Innovation Quarterly - Advancing Arc Welding Design and
Practice Worldwide," Vol. VIII, No. 1, 1991 by the James F. Lincoln Arc
Welding Foundation.
The design of the cantilevered, general maintenance hangar
included a complete design with Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical and
Architectural planning and design for a 60,000 S.F. column-free hangar area
with a 581' column-free clear entrance adjoined by a 60,000 ft², 2-story
maintenance shop/administration area. Additional 2,500 ft² space was included
to house mechanical/electrical utilities. Supporting facilities included a 700'
x 20' foot taxiway, 43,000 ft² fire lane, 301 vehicle parking spaces with
access roads, high security fencing, and alarm system. AFFF fire protection
system was included in the design. Scope of services included: pre-design
meetings (charettes), shop drawing review, as-built preparation,
QAP preparation, OMSI and construction inspection. NAVFAC
guide specifications were utilized.
Special structural considerations were given, due to the site's
location in a hurricane zone. Zone I seismic loading was incorporated in our
design. Due to the colder climate, de-icing and other heating systems required
special consideration. The roof was designed as a single-ply membrane roofing
system over rigid insulation on a metal deck. The structure was placed on a
pile foundation system. The exterior wall was Fluted CMU up to 7'-4", then
for 2'-8" a smooth finish CMU. From 10' to top, the walls were insulated
metal siding.
Construction costs were $11.6 million, $3 million below the Government's
original funding.
Change orders totaled $48,000 (less than 0.6% of the construction cost).
The design was adopted by NAVFAC
as a prototype.
