Machine Shop Design
AmDyne prepared the detailed design, provided onsite construction management and completed product and equipment submittal reviews for a 50 ft x 140 ft Machine Shop at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Carderock Division. Initial Site work included drawings, specifications and application for the Maryland Department of Environment Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control Permits. This 7,000 square foot high-bay metal structure incorporated a 5-ton bridge crane, fire protection, utility support to machining equipment, mechanical and tool storage rooms. Included in the project is a grinding room with isolated ventilation system. This new addition was designed to match the existing exterior in height and materials.
   

Elevated Water Tower Structural Analysis and Bldg. 4E Repairs
AmDyne provided a complete Structural Analysis overview and report of the 200 MG Ellipsoidal Elevated Water Tower at NSWC Carderock, analyzing and evaluating the 55 year old water tower for compliance to current American Water Works Association codes and local regulations for seismic and wind loads. As-Built drawings of the elevated tower were used for calculating member forces and stresses with visual inspections made to determine the existing conditions of the structural members and connections. A Chicago Bridge and Iron structural analysis computer program for elevated water storage tanks was used to analyze and evaluate forces and stresses developed in the structural members for compliance and factor of safety to current codes and conditions.

AmDyne investigated and conducted a non-destructive survey to determine the cause and extent of cracks that have developed in an existing 45’ tall concrete wall. Plans and specifications were developed with a repair plan to arrest future cracking and repair the existing cracks on the exterior face of the concrete building wall.

   
  CARC Process Documentation and Technical Manual Revision
The U.S. Marine Corps utilizes a chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) process for all USMC wheeled and tracked vehicles. AmDyne was tasked with documenting the CARC process from a technical and regulatory standpoint. Painting and registration marking procedures were reviewed and safety and health information validated. Process modifications were then incorporated into a thorough revision of the Technical Manual governing said process.
   

Incinerator Test Facility
As the Construction Manager, AmDyne provided engineering, detailed design drawings, specifications, technical support and construction contractors for the mock-up of a shipboard solid waste incinerator. AmDyne also provided an enclosed air-conditioned data acquisition facility with communication and data lines for housing data collection equipment and computers. AmDyne provided site inspection and on-site construction management and quality assurance during all field construction to bring this facility on-line.

   
 

Sanitary Sewer Line Repair and Stormwater Inlet Repair
AmDyne reviewed the existing documentation, performed site investigation and provided design and construction drawings for the repair, replacement and/or rehabilitation of the existing sanitary sewer mainlines and manholes at specific sites at NSWC, Carderock Division. AmDyne investigated, surveyed and inspected the stormwater inlets and prepared a repair design and specification to correct deficiencies of stormwater drainage in the area. Additional stormwater inlets were added to mitigate the ponding and standing water between the subject buildings and added sidewalks and landscaping in the area for pedestrian traffic, stormwater management and aesthetics.

   
 

ManTech Program Support
Manufacturing technology (ManTech) projects consist of solving industrial process problems associated with the Marine Corps Maintenance Centers (MCs). AmDyne supports this program by providing management and technical support from the issue submittal phase through follow-up on the technical application details of the project. Management support includes technical and management liaison and coordination with Marine Corps Project Managers to complete tasks.

   

Employee Development & Training Facility Design
AmDyne designed and prepared a complete bid package including computer generated renderings using AutoCAD and Spectsintact, contract drawings, specifications, cost estimate, and submission requirements for the Stormwater Management and Sediment and Erosion Control Construction Permits. The project involved designing a 3,500 SF recreational and training facility on the base using MIL HDBK 1037, Indoor Fitness/Recreation Facilities and base requirements. The design incorporated an existing free-standing restroom and shower facility into the new construction. The center includes a multi-use racquetball court, open exercise and training area, renovated men and women’s showers and locker rooms, entrance foyer and storage area.
