Scope Of Work
Butt Construction Co. designed and constructed the nine-story air traffic control tower at Grissom Air Reserve Base in Indiana. The building construction is structural steel with precast, brick and aluminum panel facade. The facility included mechanical and electrical rooms, administrative areas, a break room, training room, a locker/shower room, mechanical/electrical utility chases, stairwells and an elevator. The mechanical and electrical systems included a backup power generator and UPS system and a fire pump for the automatic sprinkler system. The project also included the demolition of the old tower. Work covered multi-engineering disciplines (architectural, mechanical, structural, civil and electrical). The project was designed in accordance with DCID 6/9. Butt Construction installed a backup generator for the entire building, including the data area.
The tower provides Grissom’s twenty-six air traffic controllers with increased visibility (10,000 feet), a training simulator area, increased security, office space, and enhanced environmental controls.
