Fort Wainwright’s new Vehicle Maintenance Facility (VMF) is a T-shaped building with a total footprint of over 105,000 SF, consisting of a warehouse with loading dock, a core administrative area, and maintenance repair bays.
The larger maintenance areas, on either side of the T, are symmetrical and consist of overhead bridge cranes, two below grade inspection pits, trench drains, and compressed air for each bay. The bridge cranes span 130 feet, have a lifting capacity of 15 tons, and travel the entire length of each structure. The smaller maintenance area has one 72-foot span bridge crane with a lifting capacity of 7.5 tons. The slab holds trench drains in front of each overhead door and along the main vehicle corridor.
