P704V In-Service Engineering facility at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station
Construction is underway on the P704V In-Service Engineering
facility at China Lake Naval Air Weapons Station in Ridgecrest, Calif. KMA was
retained by Barnhart Balfour Beatty in March of 2009 and construction is
expected to be complete by spring 2010.
The one-story, 20,000 square foot, in-service engineering
facility was designed with sustainable features including efficient cooling
equipment, storm water runoff management and the installation of a cool roof in
order to reduce the roof surface temperature up to 100 degrees.
“KMA’s history working with government projects has been
valuable in designing the in-service engineering facility at China Lake Naval
Air Weapons Station as we can offer strong knowledge and experience of military
planning,” said Jay Janda, project architect
for KMA. “P-704v is a unique specialized technical facility.”
The in-service engineering facility is a secure structure
comprised of tilt-up concrete walls, steel framing, and a standing seam metal
roof. The facility will also include three work areas, support spaces, ready
service lockers, large bay doors to allow truck access and overhead cranes
inside the facility for heavy equipment.Due to strict regulations, the plans
called for a minimalist design and isolated location. Required features
incorporated into the design include a light-weight roof system to prevent
heavy objects from falling in the event of an explosion, structural framing to
accommodate Navy crane systems and an elaborate grounding system to prevent any
static electricity build-up within the facility.
China Lake is the high desert home of the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons
Division. The Navy and Marine Corps have developed or tested nearly every
significant airborne weapon system in the past six decades at China Lake. The
facility supports the primary research and development, test and evaluation
work for air warfare and missile weapons systems. Missiles such as Sidewinder,
Shrike and Walleye are just a few of the many products at China Lake, which have
been developed for the fleet.
China Lake encompasses 1.1 million acres of land in
California's upper Mojave Desert, accounting for approximately one-third of the
Navy's total land holdings. The land, ranging in altitude from 2,100 to 8,900
feet, varies from flat dry lake beds to rugged piñon pine covered mountains.
The firm’s project team consists of Don Blair, Jay Janda and
Robb Walker. The structural engineer is KPFF of San Diego and the civil
engineer is KPFF of Irvine. The electrical engineer is Michael Wall
Engineering, the mechanical engineer is Louis Abbott Engineering and the
plumbing designer is Stueven Engineering.
