Met the guidelines for a State Historical
Structure since the repairs did not change the physical
appearance of the hanger. |
| · |
Life of this essential facility for the
Navy extended at least 25 years. |
| · |
All repair/restoration work was completed
in less than three months. Thus, the Navy was able to
utilize hanger for maintenance of helicopters much earlier
than anticipated. |
| · |
Cost of this repair/restoration accomplished
for about $950,000; This is about $5/sq.ft. of facility,
and about 1/2 the cost of other proposed methods, such
as heavy fabric suspended from the thin shell concrete
roof. |
| · |
Repair employed a significant number
of unique repair products in combination with each other
that were used to extend the life of the structure by
reducing future corrosion of the reinforcing steel and
carbonation of the concrete. |
| · |
No construction accidents or injuries,
despite the fact that most of the work was performed
by high lifts working at heights of eighty feet. |
| · |
Since completion a year ago, there has
not been even one new concrete spall. |
| · |
Project requirements established minimum
on-site training by material manufacturer for all personnel. |
| · |
Project requirements established a Quality
Standard of Repair for spalls in order to determine
minimum acceptable standards for repair. This was aided
by the use of onsite mock-ups that the contractor was
required to install prior to the commencement of any
work. |
