Proper construction management ensures that your project is built
correctly, on time and within budget. As experienced construction
managers, we help you avoid cost overruns, mitigate the risk of
delays, and generally anticipate and strategize for potential
pitfalls.
At GMI our construction management services may include any or all of these services, as well as many others.
GMI engineers converted a central steam heating plant at Dobbins Air Reserve Base to a decentralized, building-dedicated, heating system for 12 buildings encompassing 204,000 square feet. A LAN-based EMCS was implemented for 15 buildings covering 275,000 square feet. The EMCS implementation required full integration of four existing DDC systems. Design development began in October 2002, and the new systems were completely operational 15 months later.
GMI completed a base-wide upgrade of fire suppression systems at F.E. Warren AFB with the addition of new, code compliant backflow devices in 22 buildings. Concept development began in March 2002, and all new systems were completely operational by June 2004.
GMI installed a new bath house and boat wash station at the
Patrick AFB marina. Construction involved rerouting a major water
line and storm water drainage, and the addition of a sewage lift
station. We also dredged the marina basin including the area within
the boat slips and the main entry channel. The dredging created an
interesting challenge for the client. Traditional clamshell dredging
exceeded the client’s budget and many on the team thought the
project would be abandoned. GMI engineers suggested a different
approach that allowed the client to dredge the site by pumping waste
through a two mile pipeline to be disposed of at the client’s
existing waste site. The new approach was more cost effective and
allowed the client to complete the project within the original
budget. Concept development began in June 2003 and all new systems
were completely operational by June 2004.
