Validation of Operations Terminal

MILCON Requirements Documents for New Air Operations Terminal

PRIME AE was engaged to validate the scope, requirements, and cost of a new Air Operations Terminal to replace the existing facility at Osan Air Base. The primary function of the cargo terminal operation is offloading and loading of planes and trucks. The vast majority of materials handled are palletized, and the facility handles an average of 800 pallets per month.

The facility requirements include special storage areas for temporary storage of hazardous and secure materials, refrigerated items, and arms. Administrative areas, vehicle storage and maintenance, secure and non-secure servers, and a secure computer room with redundant power are also required. The location is in a flood plain, and flooding is an issue during rainy season conditions. Flight line height restrictions also apply.

The team spent four days at Osan Air Base to meet with personnel, conduct a charrette, and collect existing conditions. In preparation for the site visit, government-provided documents, issued needs lists, project schedules, meeting agendas, and other documents were reviewed. The project design meets LEED® Silver requirements.
