The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has awarded Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) a $31 million contract to design, engineer and construct a consolidated fuel overhaul, repair, and test facility at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma. Work will be performed by SAIC's design-build subsidiary, The Benham Companies, in 22 months. The contract includes architectural design, engineering, and construction services for a 148,000-sf, two-story facility that will be used for the overhaul, repair, and testing of aircraft fuel control accessories. The project also includes site work and utility systems, and anti-terrorism/force protection measures. The facility will have areas for testing fuel components, a cleanroom for fuel control overhauls, manufacturing process facilities, and administration. The facility will be built to meet LEED certification standards.
