PDC is serving as the design prime for this renovation project. We are providing Civil, Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, Fire Protection, and Survey services for the investigation and renovation of the existing Nose Dock 1 Facility on Eielson Air Force Base. This historical building was constructed shortly after World War II and is in need of an economical renovation to provide comfortable working conditions for office and maintenance staff for years to come.
The investigation phase is complete providing guidance to the Government on code required upgrades as well as sustainability upgrades and renovations for increased functionality. Structural upgrades include increasing the roof snow load capacity and increasing resistance for seismic activity. The fire protection investigation focused on life safety upgrade requirements to protect military personnel and assets while creatively utilizing the existing systems. Utilization of existing systems is an environmental and budget conscious course of design.
