Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) New River is a U.S. Marine Corps helicopter and tilt-rotor base in Jacksonville, North Carolina. The Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC), Mid-Atlantic District, decided to construct Phase III of the VMMT-204 Maintenance Hangar at MCAS New River, where Marine and Air Force Osprey pilots, Marine crew chiefs, and units are trained in the use and maintenance of the MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft. The project also entailed raising the air station’s Airport Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) cab.
Merrick & Company, which provided architectural services as part of a design/build team, engaged Fisher Engineering, Inc. (FEI) to provide performance-based fire protection system design services and life safety analysis for the project. Specifically, FEI developed a design analysis related to the interior life safety, fire sprinkler, fire alarm and mass notification systems for the facility in accordance with NAVFAC standards; developed construction documents consisting of a specification and a drawing set of the interior fire sprinkler, fire pump, fire alarm and mass notification systems; and performed construction period services such as shop submittal review, in-progress installation reviews, and final site review.
