Engineers at the Far East District central resident office completed construction surveillance on the VIP hangar and parking pad renovation project at Osan Air Base last November. The hangar will house twin engine turbo prop aircraft for executive missions throughout Asia. FED engineers assisted in the renovation of the two existing hangars and parking pad which include fire protection, high expansion foam and four foam generators hanging from the ceiling. An overhead hoist and aircraft wash system were also included in the project.
Steven Haselman, FED project engineer, said there were initially some issues ensuring the quality of the fire protection system but through cooperation and hard work the matter was resolved.
“We were able to overcome that issue by working together with the contractor and our Korean partners and deliver the project for aviation regiment,” said Haselman.
To mark the completion of the project, which was initially awarded in 2017, an acceptance release letter ceremony was held Jan. 21 inside the hangar at Osan Air Base.
