New parking lot at Transportation Proficiency Center (TPC)

  • Published
A new parking lot was recently completed for personnel assigned to the Base Fire Station (B745), C-130 Inspection Dock Hanger (B746), and Transportation Proficiency Center (B747). The new asphalt-paved parking lot provides 45 additional parking spaces. The site had significant slope, so extensive earth work had to be performed and a 200-foot retaining wall was constructed with protective fencing on top. Extremely wet weather this winter delayed completion of the project, because asphalt paving requires a dry base course for compaction.

The Project Engineer was Jim Busi and the Project Engineering Technician was Chris Howe from 94th MSG/Base Civil Engineering. The contractor for this project was J2 Engineering Inc., of Hiram, Ga., and site Superintendent was Dan Waters.
