McKenney’s has proven time and again that it is a valuable partner and resource when it comes to complicated Training Barracks Upgrade Program (TBUP) barracks renovation projects.

1. Barracks Upgrades
Advance Efficiency

2. For decades, Starship military barracks in locations including Fort
Benning, GA and Fort Jackson, SC have provided housing, instruction
and training for recruits on their way to becoming combat-ready
soldiers.

3. To ensure the facilities measure up to their sterling reputations, the
military posts needed to renovate these older barracks. With a primary
goal of upgrading soldiers’ living quarters, and a secondary goal of
improving energy efficiency and pursuing LEED® accreditation, the US
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and its general contractors, architects
and engineers rely on McKenney’s Building Performance Solutions
team to design and install the plumbing and HVAC systems that serves
the barracks.
Starship barracks renovations, which fall under the military’s Training
Barracks Upgrade Program (TBUP), have strict design and budget
requirements. In addition, they are large, horizontal, complex
renovation projects on very tight schedules. This creates the potential
for contractors to spread out and work in areas out of sequence, which
can, in turn, negatively impact the project.

4. Drawing from its experience on 14 similar TBUP renovation projects,
the McKenney’s team collaborates with the MATOC (Multiple Award
Task Order Contract) general contractor and other trades in developing
the overall project design schedule and sequence. By doing this, the
team is able to create a workable schedule that meets the USACE’s
goals— then focus on short-term planning, on-time deliveries and
meeting milestones to direct the project.
In addition, to minimize time onsite and further compress the schedule
during the construction phase, McKenney’s prefabricates the plumbing
and HVAC components in its shops and makes just-in-time deliveries of
the components to the jobsite.

5. McKenney’s has proven time and again that it is a valuable partner and
resource when it comes to complicated TBUP barracks renovation
projects. By adding value from the beginning stages of design all the
way through completion, the McKenney’s team is able to avoid
problems and help keep these complex projects on track.
All the while supporting energy efficiency goals of consuming 30
percent less energy, putting any TBUP renovation on a firm footing to
pursue LEED® Silver certification.
