A&E – B1747 Relocate De-Icing/Anti-Icing Dispensing Facility

The project, located at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, NJ (JBMDL-NJ), involved full design plans, specifications, and accompanying design analysis reports for a new De-Icing/Anti-Icing Dispensing Facility Bldg. 1747, and the demolition of the existing facility on the base. The scope of the project encompassed the Architectural and Engineering design of a new dispensing station adjacent to B3209. This facility includes glycol pumping equipment, a warming shelter, a canopy design, four 50,000-gallon de-ice tanks and one 10,000-gallon anti-ice tank, all meeting specified criteria for aboveground horizontal, double-wall, painted, and type 1 steel storage tanks. The design incorporates features such as dual lanes for trucks inside the airfield perimeter, enabling efficient access to dispensing aboveground tanks. The station is designed to handle multiple vehicles simultaneously and includes an off-load pavement area with an open overhead cover for receiving and dispensing de-icing/anti-icing products in adherence to UFC’s and FAA guidelines. Additionally, the design integrates water, power, lighting, communications, controls, and outdoor-rated pumps, facilitating 24-hour operations. The project included the full design of a separate bid packet for Demolition and removal work, complying with state regulations.

The $7M facility included:

• Horizontal Civil Engineering Design for site layout, grading design, utility design (including water service, electrical service, and communications), concrete slab design abutting the airfield and for the tanks, drainage analysis and design, soil erosion and sediment control, and truck turning analysis and templates.
• Vertical Structural Design for the overhead canopy and warming shelter
• Geotechnical Engineering for Soil Resistivity testing, groundwater elevation, permeability, and structural soils.
• Environmental Testing and analysis for lead paint and asbestos for the demolition of the existing facility
• Demolition plans and utility coordination for existing facility
• Electrical Engineering
