Project Details

As part of a design build team, WFT Engineering provided mechanical, plumbing, and electrical engineering design and construction for the installation of a 6,200 linear foot perimeter fence around the north and east sides of the Suitland Federal Complex. The project included the installation of an ornamental, 84” high, solid steel picket fence with three main drive double gates and four secondary drive entrances. The project also included the installation of two new guardhouses and a new visitors’ reception center complete with communications, air conditioning, power, and lighting infrastructure. Security was maintained at all times during the project.

In order to complete this fast track project, WFT Engineering expedited the site survey, design, and approval process with local and government authorities in and around the complex. The phased, fast track, design and construction were required to allow continuous visitation to the complex with minimal disruption to the facilities mission. The project scope included detailed site investigation, preparation of coordinated and checked demolition and construction documents using format, cost estimates, and construction administration. The systems included installation of efficient site lighting, signage, weatherproof power receptacles, air-conditioned guard facilities, and CCTV systems. WFT Engineering also provided construction administration for this complicated, fast track, phased project.
