Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel

Dugway Proving Ground, Utah

HHI acted as a subcontractor to Battelle Memorial Institute for this project. There were two facilities as part of this overall project on which HHI performed work. These buildings include the Joint Ambient Breeze Tunnel (JABT) and the Active Standoff Chamber (ASC). Each building was well over 25,000 SF with heights ranging from 30 to 45 feet.

Work included deep pile foundations, concrete floors, chemical resistant epoxy flooring, mechanical ventilation, compressed air system, electrical lighting, extensive controls to monitor and testing. HHI also handled equipment installation, including air compressor, air lines, flexible duct, ventilation system, filtration system, swing gate installation, pressure sensors, hoists and a remote weather station.  HHI ensured there were separate power supplies to roof winches, six separate main control panels, and wiring to all mechanical equipment and dissemination test equipment.
