U.S. Pentagon (Design/Build) Renovation Program

Arlington, VA

The project consists of construction of a new 80,000 square foot hangar and associated facility to support research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT and E) of Unmanned Carrier Launched Aerial Surveillance Systems (UCLASS) and to be located on the primary airfield at Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River. The hangar consists of shops, maintenance administration, squadron administration/operations, and hangar bay spaces to support the program.

 
 

Specialized Engineering’s Role

 Specialized Engineering provided construction materials testing for the project.

  • Sub-grade proof-rolling

  • Utility backfill

  • Structural fill

  • Soil compaction

  • Auger-placed grout piles

  • Concrete reinforcement

  • Cast-in-place concrete

  • Masonry inspections and testing

  • Structural Steel inspections

  • Spray-applied fireproofing

  • Asphalt compaction/observation of proof-rolling of sub-grade & sub-base
