A CH2M
HILL-led joint venture has been awarded a
contract to provide design-build services to the U.S.
Navy in Africa. The Naval Facilities Engineering Command
(NAVFAC) Atlantic and NAVFAC Europe Africa Southwest Asia
(EURAFSWA) awarded the $62 million design-build task
order for a 185,000-square meter (SM) concrete combat
aircraft loading area, three fabric maintenance hangars,
a 68,000 SM asphalt taxiway extension, and an ammunition
supply point required to support current and emerging
operational missions at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti.
"Camp Lemonnier is undergoing a major transformation in the
next few years from expeditionary to permanent facilities
in support of the diverse AFRICOM mission," said CH2M HILL
Program Manager Bryan Bodner. "We are ready to employ
our successful overseas contingency design-build delivery
model with our Turkish partners and look forward to
supporting a long-time and valued client in a new
market."
CH2M HILL is teamed with long-term Turkish construction
partner METAG.
Camp Lemonnier, situated at Djibouti's Djibouti-Ambouli
International Airport, is the only U.S. military base
located in Africa. Construction will continue through 2014.
