Project Description:

The Missile Handling Complex includes a single story, Missile Handling Facility, a single-story Transporter Storage and Missile Handling Administrative Combined Facility, and an expansion to two existing dangerous cargo pads.

The Missile Handling Facility is a steel structure containing three missile bays and a staging area connected to a steel structure transporter/trailer storage component. The missile bays and staging area are situated on an elevated concrete platform for each bay. Each missile bay requires steel rails and space for a winching system for loading/unloading of boosters from transporter trailers.

Equipment storage, restroom, and facility support spaces are constructed of low-rise steel structures directly attached to the Transporter storage bays. The Missile Handling Administrative Facility is a one-story steel structure with private offices, open work areas, conferences rooms, locker rooms, break rooms, storage/supply rooms, and a space built to applicable ICD-705 criteria.

The project consists of concrete foundations, electrical/mechanical service and distribution components/systems, water and sewer, fire protection, lightning protection, vehicle exhaust systems, compressed air system, security systems, and communications systems.
