Requirements

The following list of requirements are applicable to the planned contract:

  • Construction of multi-story reinforced concrete or earthen filled structures (2-5 stories) with subsurface spaces and/or basement structures.
  • Steel work, unique fabrication, erecting and construction of steel platforms and towers up to 100 feet in height.
  • Construction and/or repair of remote dirt or partially paved roads.
  • Installation of electrical systems and power supply.
  • Trench work in soil and concrete to support placement of instrumentation for measuring data.
  • Construction of berms (10 – 15 ft in height) for protection of blasting.
  • Tunneling similar to mining: Drill/blast tunnels with diameters ranging from 5ft. to 30ft and lengths ranging from 50ft. – 800ft; may be D shape or circular profile. Subsurface materials vary. Requires tight tolerances of profile. Includes installation of reinforced concrete or shotcrete for surface remediation within the tunnel complex: end walls, inverts, and portal entrance.
  • Drilling and placement of vent shafts or bore holes from varying depths to the surface within all types of subsurface materials (depths ranging from 10 – 35 ft). This includes coring and core sampling.
  • Placement of shotcrete with tight tolerances, includes possible use of welded wire fabric, rock bolts, and installation of steels sets.
  • Emplace portals and other types of door structures in above and underground structures.
  • Earthwork, excavation, removal, transport, grading and compacting. Grading of earthwork may include slopes of up to 45 deg and excavation at varying elevations (15 ft and below).
  • Operation of Heavy lift equipment: cranes, rough terrain forklifts, etc. to support test bed preparation efforts.
  • General construction efforts may include, but are not limited to, rough and finish carpentry, painting, roofing, low-voltage electrical, plumbing, and masonry.
  • Management and experience with providing tunnel rescue teams and ventilation of confined spaces and management of air quality controls.
  • Demolition of steel and concrete structures.
  • Perform and review LIDAR surveys of both tunnel construction and the surface excavation; excavation may be required to be within 6” of theoretical profile.
  • Perform geological surveys to validate subsurface materials in support of testing objectives and construction standards.
  • Environmental remediation of various hazardous and non-hazardous materials, structures, and general site soil as part of construction and remediation efforts.
