Garver was the engineer for a new Air Tanker Base for the USDA Forest Service at Fayetteville Municipal Airport. The Air Tanker Base is part of the forest fire fighting capability of the Forest Service, and it will be constructed as one of three new bases in the Southeast. Although located in Fayetteville, the base is intended to dispatch fire fighting planes to any part of the United States, where there is a need for airborne fire fighting.
The base is located on the east side of the airfield near the Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting station (a previous Garver project). Garver designed the following facilities: operations office, warehouse, mixing plant, storage tank farm, parking, and access roads.
In addition to civil, electrical, mechanical, structural, water, and sewer design services, Garver lead the project through the City’s large scale development approval process. Garver directed coordination during design with the Forest Service, Airport, City, FAA, franchise utilities, and the design-build contractor. Garver was under contract with the Ross Group from Tulsa, Oklahoma, who is the prime design-build contractor for the project. |
