Description
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is soliciting and awarding the Design-Bid-Build contract for B90176 Hangar Door Expansion (HADES) at Fort Hood, Texas. The project involves expanding hangar doors to support the HADES mission and accommodate the ME-11B (Bombardier Global 6500) aircraft. The project includes replacing two existing hangar doors with a single 120-foot-wide rolling sectional door, requiring substantial structural modifications to the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB).
Key aspects of the project include:
• Replacement of existing hangar doors with a new 120-foot-wide rolling sectional door
• Substantial structural modifications to the pre-engineered metal building (PEMB)
• Installation of higher-capacity motors for the new door
• Refinishing and restriping affected areas of the hangar floor
• Minor partition and finish modifications to support new flight group requirements
• Evaluation and replacement of fan and motor control centers of existing Big Ass Fans (BAFs)
• Extensive structural, fire suppression, and life safety analysis to ensure code compliance and safe integration of all modifications
