| Description: |
This project consisted of one building housing
two naval training schools, and was built as part of the naval base
consolidation plan. The first school, the Elevator Training Facility,
is utilized by sailors learning how to use, maintain and repair
an aircraft carrier elevator. These elevators carry aircraft and
equipment within the carrier and up to the aircraft deck. The roof
on the high tower of the facility is removable to facilitate the
installation of various elevators used on the aircraft carriers.
The second school, the Airman Apprentice Training Facility, is utilized
by non-flying deck personnel. Students are trained in this facility
for the actual movement of aircraft, maintenance and fueling, handling,
maneuvering and loading of bombs. There are two operational A-16
aircraft and an elevator inside the hangar. This impressive project
was awarded a Certificate of Appreciation for Exemplary Performance
from the U.S. Department of the Navy.
“The quality of your work was outstanding…The
team concept was visibly apparent during the process of resolving
problems and completing
the project on a timely basis.”
C. A. Rice, Captain, Civil Engineer Corps, Commanding Officer
United States Navy, Great Lakes, IL
