Design-Build

Provide Elevator and Fire Protection, & Renovate Building 150 (Design-Build) and Repair Pearl Harbor Memorial Fountain, Building 150, NAVSTA, Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii

Location: Pear Harbor, Oahu, Hawaii
Contract Value: $2.7 Million
Client: Department of the Navy

This high visibility design-build project involved the construction of a new building addition for an elevator at Building 150, to allow accessibility for persons with disabilities. It also included the interior renovation of office spaces, one of which was for the Admiral commanding the Naval Station. This project was extremely challenging because it was to be executed with an accelerated schedule and along side of simultaneous renovation work being performed by the PWC shops. Therefore, both construction activities shared a single construction zone with the same access roads, storage areas, and building space, which required constant coordination and logistics.

The scope of work included major excavation of 14’ near the building footprint, structural work for the concrete elevator tower, mechanical and electrical service, installation of the hydraulic elevator, and interior renovation work consisting of windows, VCT flooring, carpeting, and systems furniture. The scope also included the installation of fire protection systems for the entire building, and repairing the memorial fountain, which included new waterproofing, ceramic tile, and an automatic self-filling pump system.

The success of this project resulted in a certificate of superior achievement, and letters of appreciation from three commanding officers because of the high visibility and degree of difficulty.
