Historic Barracks Rennovation and Modernization About: Pershing Barracks, designed by renowned American architect Richard Morris Hunt and built in 1895, was a unique structure for its day, incorporating steel-framed, brick vault floors and a centralized coal-burning heating system. Atkins comprehensive renovation and modernization plan included repair of the historic granite/limestone masonry exterior, introduction of insulation/windows to meet today’s energy and security requirements, and new sustainable mechanical, electrical and plumbing systems. As the building had undergone several renovations over its 120-year lifespan, Atkins designed interior finishes, plaster moldings, and lighting that re-instated the original historical character in accordance with the State Historical Preservation Atkins used high-definition laser scans, thermal imaging, and CCTV during field surveys and incorporated acquired-data into Building Information Modeling. The exhaustive field survey, employing many nondestructive testing techniques, enabled our team to preserve and restore historic elements while developing a high-quality, sustainable design that incorporated state-of-the-art technology.

GRAND FORKS AIR FORCE BASE_

Air Traffic Control Tower + Radar Approach Control Facility About: Atkins designed a 17,876-square-foot air traffic control tower (ATCT) and collocated radar and approach control (RAPCON) facility at Grand Forks Air Force Base. The base provides aerial refueling, airlift, and aeromedical evacuation support to U.S. and worldwide allied forces that use the KC-135R Stratotanker. To meet future needs at the base, the new facility coordinates flights from the tower in and out of the base, and from instrument flight rule operations in and around the base and Grand Forks International Airport. The scope of work for this $12.5 million contract included demolition of existing facilities and construction of a new ATCT and RAPCON. Constructed of similar materials and collocated for operational efficiencies, the new structures meet U.S. Air Force and Federal Aviation Administration standards for safety, efficiency, and uncompromised control of flying traffic. The RAPCON is a two-story, 11,686-squarefoot building that houses administrative 175* and operational functions, along with radar approach control equipment, a traffic controller simulator, electrical and communications rooms, and a training area. A separate structure, the 6,190-square-foot ATCT connects to the RAPCON on both levels and has a hexagon-shaped cab level to provide required views. During design, value engineering efforts resulted in betterments, or changes to the established requirements, to either reduce costs or improve the final construction. Atkins provided 60, 90, and 100 percent construction documents, which included plans, technical specifications, and design analysis reports. Construction and construction management were performed by Peter R. Brown Construction (a subsidiary of Atkins), partnered with Community Contractors of Grand Forks. 155* All construction activities were conducted on an active military airfield, requiring maintenance of site security.

VALUE ENGINEERING + 1391 CHARRETTES_ Atkins regularly conducts or participates in independent Value Engineering Charrettes. The time invested in a value engineering workshop produces impressive results. Held during the initial planning stages, the time spent on the workshop has little impact on the final project schedule and redesign costs. The independent team brings a fresh perspective to the project based on their professional construction experience. Clients who defined the initial criteria for value in the information phase experience increased satisfaction with the finished product at a reduced overall project cost. In the end, the project generally has fewer changes and delays throughout the construction process and greater functionality and value for the end client. Although value engineering began as a cost-saving measure, it is becoming a valued project management technique that addresses all aspects of the building lifecycle from the initial construction through the sustainability of sourced materials and utility efficiency of the final project. The project team can bring positive environmental and social impact solutions to the table including methods for reducing the carbon footprint of transportation, building, and operation as well as suggestions that positively affect the safety and wellness of the surrounding community.
