Vehicle Maintenance Facility for the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade

J&S Construction Company is underway in the construction of a $12.2 million contract, building a Vehicle Maintenance Facility for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at Ft. Campbell, Ky. J&S Construction currently has two contracts with the U.S. Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. This contract follows J&S’ awarding of an $8.4 million contract for the Sustainment Brigade Complex Administration Facility, also located at the Ft. Campbell base.

The 35,290 square-foot Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF), which has a scheduled completion date of August 2013, will be constructed for the 101st Combat Aviation Brigade and will consist of a Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF), Organizational Storage Building (OSB), Hazardous Waste Storage Building (HWSB), Petroleum Oil and Lubricant storage building (POL), Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle storage building (TUAV), organization vehicle hardstand and privately owned vehicle parking.

This project is designed to meet LEED® Silver requirements by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and environmentally friendly features will include transpired solar wall panel system, skylights, daylighting tubes, spray foam insulation, air barrier system, radon piping system, low flow water fixtures, energy recovery units, in-floor radiant heating system, occupancy sensors, low VOC and recycled materials.

“We are making great strides in the area of sustainability and building environmentally friendly projects,” said Brad Leimer, project manager and LEED AP with J&S Construction. “Sustainable practices are good for the military, good for the Corps of Engineers and are a great value for the taxpayers.”

These facility types are used for the purpose of maintaining and repairing vehicles, complete with equipment and parts storage and administrative offices. J&S Construction completed its first TEMF in August 2010, a $13 million project which resulted in an outstanding rating by the Corps for performance, as well as marking the first LEED Gold Certification at the Corps of Engineers’ Ft. Campbell base and for the Louisville District.

The Sustainment Brigade Complex Administration Facility previously mentioned serves as Ft. Campbell’s Pilot Project for Sustainable Design and is also designed by the Corps of Engineers to meet LEED Silver requirements by the USGBC.

“We are once again very pleased and excited to have been chosen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to be involved in the construction of facilities for the men and women who help protect us and make our country great,” said Jack Stites, J&S Construction president. “The high standards the Corps continues to use in measuring performance is just another tool J&S can utilize to help improve all projects we complete, whether it be government contracts or in the private sector. We are looking forward to the completion of both of these projects and continuing the successful partnership we have built with the Corps.”
