LC-39B Flame Trench Refurbishment & Fabrication of Main Flame Deflector

As the Prime, JPD was responsible for cost, schedule, safety, management and technical performance of this multidiscipline modification project. Major relevant areas of work include: 

This project was performed on KSC demonstrating our ability to work on Government Installations. KSC, much like the adjoining CCAFS, requires special access, transportation and work requirements, as well as, coordination with and/or restrictions from un-related operations and environmental regulations on the Government installations. Additionally, for job site safety and control, escorts were required during portions of the project. The Flame Trench project required a complex level of planning and management to ensure successful sequencing of work tasks, multiple subcontractors, material and equipment delivery, large fabricated steel structure deliveries, support equipment installation and systems testing. As an AISC Certified Fabricator, JPD self-performed over 50% of the work on this project. This approach provides more performance flexibility as schedules and resources need to adjust. JPD also has in-house on-site professional engineering support that quickly accessed and dispositioned RFIs or other technical issues.
