Description

Bristol was responsible for building a 45,000-square-foot, two-story Battalion Headquarters as well as associated parking lot and utilidors at Fort Wainwright, Alaska for USACE Alaska District. The building layout included military offices, work areas, training areas, conference rooms, weapons storage areas, and associated support spaces. The structure was built to standards for Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection (AT/FP) Access Control.

Construction consisted of a cast-in-place concrete foundation and floor slab, a structural steel frame, metal-stud and wood-stud insulated and non-insulated wall and partition framing, and both metal and membrane roofing systems. The exterior siding system utilizes both architectural Alucobond® composite metal panel systems and concrete tile exterior siding, with aluminum-framed windows and curtain wall assembly. 

Interior finishes include painted gypsum wallboard, acoustic treatments, wood and plastic laminate casework and trim, ceramic tile, carpet, vinyl composition tile, and brick. The building contains state-of-the-art mechanical, fire protection, electrical, and communications systems.

In addition, Bristol made site improvements that included concrete utilidors with enclosed water, waste, and steam service lines, underground primary electrical service, sidewalks, masonry walls, asphalt vehicle parking, site lighting, general landscaping, and a fire access roadway. 

The project scope also included preparing plans and reports; providing and improving access to work sites; removing former power and communication poles and wires; clearing and grubbing the project limits; and excavating and backfilling the building footprint, parking lot, and utilidors.
