PROJECT

The team from L.R. Costanzo Co., Inc. installed the infrastructure and erected a structural platform for a radar antenna positioner. The team also completely renovated an existing storage warehouse to accommodate an Electronics Maintenance Shop for Tobyhanna Army Depot, the largest, full-service electronics maintenance facility in the United States Department of Defense.

CHALLENGES

  • Executing site-work and installing structural systems during extreme winter weather conditions.
  • Working in an area deemed “high hazard” due to the potential of “unexploded ordinances” being present in this former artillery test range.
  • Procuring owner-specified equipment to satisfy end-user needs.
  • Hazardous abatement work occurring simultaneously inside the warehouse.

SOLUTIONS

  • Used ground thaw heaters, installed tents and employed winter construction techniques.
  • Hired a metal detection/mine sweeping company to carefully screen layer upon layer of earth throughout the project’s excavations. All work and material handling was done strictly within clearly-defined clearance limits.
  • Provided various options through a series of meetings and on-going communications with end users and owners’ representatives.
  • Re-sequenced work tasks to accommodate abatement schedule.

CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

  • Installed electro-static discharge, epoxy-based flooring system on warehouse floor
  • Erected three ton gib crane on antenna positioner platform
  • Furnished and installed pre-cast building at antenna positioner site
  • Dug 400’ infiltration trench around antenna positioner site
