Highlight projects

Project Title, Location: FTW487 Gaffney Gate POV and Commercial Lane, Fort Wainwright, AK

Project Duration: 10/31/23 – 10/03/25

Value: $11,205,403

Contract Description: ECM was awarded this task order under the SRM MATOC for the design and construction of a new commercial and privately owned vehicle (POV) inspection facility and lanes at the Gaffney Gate entrance on Fort Wainwright base. This included relocating the existing visitor center and parking lot, as well as designing and constructing new traffic barriers, vehicle and personnel canopies, gatehouses, and observation buildings. ECM created new POV lanes, commercial vehicle lanes adjacent to Gaffney Road and the ID checkpoint, and ensured the project received proper grading, stormwater design, site lighting, paving, geometric road design, new foundations, and sitework, including final landscaping. ECM has partnered closely with Fort Wainwright throughout this task order and has developed multiple phases of completion to mitigate disruptions to site operations. This approach allowed our team to easily adjust the project when additional scope of work was identified, while also saving the government on costs and rework in the final result.

Task Order Disciplines: Demolition, civil, sitework, electrical, mechanical, surveying, geotechnical, roadway/paving, utilities, structural, architectural, communication/low voltage, traffic control, and landscaping.

Project Title, Location: FTG252 Building 656 Full Renovations, Fort Greely, AK

Project Duration: 09/28/23 – 03/17/25

Value: $8,616,342

Project Description: This project was awarded to ECM under our SRM MATOC for the design and renovation of Building 656 at Fort Geely base. This building is approximately 12,000 SF and was primarily used as administrative/office space and required a floor-plan renovation to include new collaborative spaces, updated offices, restrooms, and conference rooms. The building’s fire protection, electrical, mechanical, telecommunications, cybersecurity, plumbing, exterior envelope, and civil systems were all renovated in a phased approach that allowed continued use of the site throughout construction. Demolition of the existing facilities’ interiors and exteriors required minor asbestos/mold/lead abatement.

Disciplines: Design, structural, architectural, civil/sitework, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, fire protection, telecommunications, landscaping, utilities, and interior and exterior finishes

Project Title, Location: EIE439 Fuels Management and Laboratory, Eielson AFB, AK

Project Duration: 08/26/25 – Ongoing (Est Spring of 2027)

Value: $10,518,007

Project Description: ECM was awarded this project for the replacement of the existing Fuels Management and Laboratory Facility, Building 3242, at Eielson AFB. Work will include the construction of a new 4,014 SF facility with a laboratory, operations room, emergency eye wash and shower, administrative offices, fuel control center, restrooms and locker rooms, conference/classrooms, operations maintenance room, and a bulk storage room. Prior to construction, ECM will demolish the existing fuel laboratory, including proper environmental mitigation and the disposal of any contaminated soil on site. ECM’s approach included meeting all architectural design requirements and ensuring the sitework is updated and replaced where required. The final facility will also include updated parking and pedestrian walkways.

Disciplines: Structural, architectural, civil, mechanical, electrical, telecommunications, interior and exterior finishes, fire suppression, plumbing, demolition, utilities, HAZMAT, surveying, and environmental remediation.

Project Title, Location: FTW487 Gaffney Gate POV and Commercial Inspections Lane, Fort Wainwright, AK

Project Duration: 10/16/23 – 10/03/25

Value: $11

Scope: This project includes the construction of new POV inspection lanes on the south side of Gaffney ACP to allow physical security to navigate and redirect inbound traffic for inspection prior to access. There will be a two-lane, tow-direction inspection area that will include an open-air inspection cover and an enclosed, heated shelter for drivers to wait while their vehicles are inspected. Our design and construction approach also includes new commercial inspection lanes on the south side of the Gaffney ACP and new POV lanes. These new lanes will have space to allow drivers to stop, exit their vehicles, and obtain necessary passes while also allowing drivers who already have passes to bypass the other directly and proceed to the inspection area. This inspection area will also have an open-air inspection cover and a heated observation room for drivers. ECM will also construct a new gatehouse and observation building. The project requires the relocation of the visitor center including replacing the existing deck and canopy and upgrading the walkway. All design and construction will be managed by ECM throughout the project until successfully completed.

Project Title, Location: FXSB 24-1401 Repair Alcom Redundant Power B9480, JBER, AK

Project Duration: 09/29/25 – Ongoing (Est. Fall of 2028)

Value: $11,487,498

Project Description: This task order was awarded to ECM under our JBER MACC contract for the design and construction of a new secondary power system for Building 9480 at JBER. This work will include the construction of two new generators with enclosures, switchgears with enclosures, a 5,000-gallon above-ground fuel tank supported by reinforced concrete pads, and trenching to connect the secondary power system to the existing building. Prior to construction, ECM will safely and efficiently remove the existing generators and their supporting equipment, as well as a 10,000-gallon underground diesel storage tank. This task order may also require environmental remediation during demolition.

Disciplines: Design, structural, environmental/remediation, mechanical, electrical, civil/sitework, plumbing/fuel systems, fire protection, controls/low voltage, demolition, and commissioning/testing,

Project Title, Location: FTW475 Repair Front Covers B4028 and B4029. Fort Wainwright, AK

Project Duration: 05/06/25 – Ongoing (Est. Fall of 2026)

Value: $5,714,054

Project Description: This project was awarded to ECM for the construction of new guard booths and canopies over guard shacks B4028 and B4029, as well as three inbound lanes at the Gaffney Gate entrance on Fort Wainwright base. This work requires the demolition and removal of the existing guard booths, including crane operations to lift and move an existing building, as well as civil and sitework demolition. ECM has phased the project to allow continued access through the gate while specific areas are shut down to complete certain portions of the project. The scope of work includes the removal of existing roadways, parking areas, and structures, to be replaced with new traffic control and barriers, new guard booths with supporting canopies, new roadways, and new inspection areas and parking zones.

Task Order Disciplines: Demolition, civil/sitework, surveying, geotechnical, roadway/paving, utilities, structural, architectural, mechanical, electrical, communications, force protection/security, traffic control, and landscaping
