Hydraulic Flight Control Facility

Hill Air Force Base, Utah

This Design-Build project consisted of a new two-story added structure to existing Building 503 with 17,000 SF to facilitate open industrial space and its supporting space. 29,902 SF of the existing building was demolished and renovated creating repair shops, test areas, LEAN cells, administration space and training areas.

Industrial spaces are located on each floor for conducting aircraft hydraulic component test with a class 300,000 Clean Room and repair work. Supporting facility includes office space for unit chiefs, toilet rooms, central hydraulic room, mechanical room, electrical and communications room. Elevators for HC personal and equipment and stairs were provided for vertical transportation.

Construction involved reinforced concrete foundation slab, steel frame structure with masonry veneer, and low sloped roofing system. Exterior finishes matched appearance of the adjacent existing Building 503. The Design-Build project included development of design deliverables for reviews, sustainable design using LEED rating system, anti-terrorism/force protection, design deliverables for construction, grading, relocation/protection of utilities, utility service connections and runs, fire protection/life safety systems, handicapped accessibilities, EMCS, HVAC, all necessary conduits and cabling, plumbing, mechanical system, interior utilities, interior/exterior finishes, exterior security lighting, parking, landscape and irrigation system, signage, and all necessary features yielding a safe, complete, and usable facility/facility for its intended use.
