P-1900 Aircraft Hangars and Administrative Building

Administrative Building:  537 tons of seismic reinforced steel
Hangar 1: 815 tons seismic reinforced steel
Hangar 2: 706 tons seismic reinforced steel – notable 250’ span freestanding box truss

Agate Steel implemented a strategic procurement approach outlined prior, executing a mill buy to secure the required volume and heaviest members well in advance of receiving fully detailed drawings. This proactive measure helped mitigate escalation costs and minimized standby time between procurement and fabrication.

• The administrative building featured a concrete tilt-up shell interacting with structural steel.

• Extensive design-build BIM coordination was conducted by Agate Steel and Exact Detailing teams to ensure adherence to protect specifications and safe, efficient installation.

• Throughout the project, Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) principles were employed, with detailed BIM coordination facilitated by Agate Steel and Exact Detailing teams.

• IFC models were utilized as reference points for subsequent trades, ensuring seamless integration and reducing conflicts during construction.

• Regular communication and collaboration were maintained through weekly Teams calls involving Hensel Phelps, subcontractors, and agate Steel/Exact Detailing teams.

• This proactive approach allowed for the identification and resolution of conflicts and clashes, setting the stage for successful real-world construction.

The project was awarded in February 2021 and achieved substantial completion in March 2023, reflecting efficient project management and execution.
