Fluor was the prime contractor on a component of the U.S. Ballistic Missile Defense System integrated architecture at a remote and challenging location.
We established high-security requirements for multiple project MILCON weapon system beddown and Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection elements installed. We developed high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) protection requirements for mission-critical equipment seismic survivability.
The scope included self-perform construction of 12 new facilities and refurbishment of existing onsite buildings. Due to the harsh environment, the concrete elements required specialty cold-region engineering and construction.
The team generated 83 value engineering ideas that were approved by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, saving an additional $9.6 million on the project.
Fluor aggressively pursued small business and local Alaskan/Native American construction subcontractors who were qualified through prebid evaluation and awarded work on "Best Value" criteria. The project team completed over 2 million construction work hours without a lost time incident with a recordable incident rate (RIR) of 0.50.
