United States Army Corps of Engineers
Armed Forces Reserve Center – Ceiba
Project Overview
- Aggressive schedule to build multiple structures and incorporate site improvements
- Developing unique components to protect structures from potential hurricanes and storm surges
- New project territory required additional layers of review to qualify subcontractors
The Army Corps of Engineers’ (COE) operations in Ceiba, Puerto Rico, built within the Navy’s Roosevelt Roads Naval Station, underwent a significant expansion to provide a professional environment for the Army Reserve and the Puerto Rico National Guard to plan and train for future missions.
This project required substantial coordination efforts to effectively balance the unique requirements of managing projects located in other parts of the country, but our familiarity with the COE’s stringent quality and safety programs ensured that all standards would be met.
The resulting base now includes a 43,000 sq. ft. Army Forces Reserve Training Center, approximately 10,000 sq. ft. Vehicle Maintenance Shop and a 5,400 sq. ft. unheated storage facility. In addition, the project included 5,500 sq. yds. for organizational parking, antiterrorism measures and building information systems. The project achieved LEED Gold certification.
