ASR Construction Management Project Highlights
ASR has a proven track record of over 30 years in supporting Government and commercial customers with construction management support services. Our distinguished customers include the US Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC), NASA, US Army Corps of Engineers, US Army Health Facility Planning Agency, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, US Department of Defense, US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and the US Department of the Interior.
Below, we present select project highlights and success stories of ASR's construction management support services.
NAVFAC SE - Kings Bay Dry Dock Recapitalization
ASR was awarded a multi-million dollar task order to support the US Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command Southeast (NAVFAC SE) with program management, construction management and quality assurance on the Kings Bay Dry Dock (KBDD) Recapitalization Project at the Naval Submarine Base, Kings Bay, GA. This was a new requirement with no incumbent contractor and the Government was placing new COVID restrictions on various facilities. ASR utilized our proven program management and staffing processes to fulfill all positions, provide needed support infrastructure and assets (Internet/WiFi, Laptops, Printers/Scanners, Cellphones, PPE, Vehicles) and ensure an on-time start, even with the COVID-19 outbreak.
ASR's program management, construction management and quality assurance services support a design-bid build recapitalization contract with a cumulative value of $554.4 million that includes major improvements to accommodate Columbia class submarines. The work includes concrete and steel repairs, overhaul and repair of steel caisson, upgrades to power distribution, chilled water and fire detection and alarm systems, re-coating of the superstructure, replacement of the roof, wall panels, and other plumbing and piping, upgrades to the control system, electronic components and the auxiliary seawater system.
NASA - Kennedy Space Center
ASR was awarded the prestigious Kennedy Engineering and Other Professional Services (KEOPS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for engineering, technical, construction, support at the NASA John F. Kennedy Space Center (KSC).
