Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest Wednesday, September 18, 2013 Walsh RMA Joint Venture Finalizes Construction for the Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility Project Brea, Calif. (Sept. 18) – RMA Land Construction, Inc. (RMA) under the Walsh RMA Joint Venture (Walsh-RMA), is celebrating the recent completion of the $37.8 million Tactical Equipment Maintenance Facility (TEMF) project at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. As with any successful project, objectives were achieved through a commitment to exceed the minimum requirements, and go beyond the call. Construction featured six (6) new facilities designed to meet USGBC LEED® Silver Level, including a large 14-bay two-story 60,000 SF tactical equipment maintenance shop; Petroleum Oils and Lubricants (POL) storage; 1,512-stall tactical vehicle parking hardstand; a 100-stall POV parking lot; over one mile of storm drainage; and 3,600 LF of fencing and gates. “The Walsh-RMA team met or exceeded the quality standards indicated on the project plans…. Management at Walsh-RMA were easy to work with and responsive to the needs of the customer.” (Source: Interim Contractor Performance Evaluation from U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) According to Steve Mohammad, RMA’s Executive Vice President, the coordination of multiple subcontractors and over 750 individuals performing work on the 21.5 acre site was a significant effort. Walsh-RMA, led by the veteran site management team, ensured collaboration at all levels and pressed forward to maintain momentum and construction progress. At times working up to 18 hours a day, six to seven days a week, Walsh-RMA provided the customer with beneficial occupancy on July 12, 2013. When faced with unforeseen challenges, the team not only stepped up to the plate but exceeded the client’s requirements. During the site/civil phase of this high-profile project, unexploded ordnances (UXOs) were discovered. Originally understood to be a clear site, training landmines were found during clearing and grubbing which required a work stoppage period. Walsh-RMA employed the services of a qualified UXO specialist to perform disposal and clearance, and further assisted with personnel training for potential UXO recognition and response actions. Keith Greer, Site Safety and Health Officer/Environmental Health and Safety Manager (SSHO/EHS), attributed the success of this project primarily to the commitment at all levels of the Joint Venture and willingness of subcontractors to comply and train their personnel on safety. “Safety indoctrination was accomplished early on with buy-in from all subcontractors which facilitated a safe work environment,” Keith explained. “Our subcontractors appreciated that we held safety to such a high standard to ensure everyone returned home safely to their families.” Walsh-RMA was presented with a Certificate of Accomplishment Safety Award by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Honolulu District, for the outstanding achievement of completing this project with zero lost-time incidents. Roy Mohammad, RMA’s President/CEO, stated, “Marking a significant milestone, this is the largest single project award in the 32-year history of RMA.” Roy went on to add, “The project team's consistent communication with our USACE client, end-user and subcontractors, along with the perseverance to progress through unanticipated issues, contributed to the project’s success.” Congratulations to Anthony Choate, Project Manager; Eric Thomson, Superintendent; Ken Carrara, Quality Control (QC) Manager; Keith Greer, SSHO/EHS; Chad Johnson, Assistant Project Manager; Adam Thompson, Alternate QC Manager/QC Specialist; Chad Bennett, Electrical Superintendent/Alternate SSHO; and the Walsh-RMA team for the successful execution of the TEMF construction.

The site was deemed to be impressively clean, orderly and in accordance with safety, quality and production standards. Capt. Bruce Nevel (NAVFAC Operations Officer) and LTJG Alex Rovinksy (NAVFAC Construction Manager) walked the jobsite with Tiger Clifton (RMA Superintendent/SSHO) and Mac Sheikh (RMA CQC Manager). In addition to Tiger and Mac, the project management staff includes Calvin Hall (RMA Project Manager) and Gina Lopez-Fascia (RMA Project Coordinator). The BEQ project calls for the modernization of the 62-year-old facilities to increase the buildings’ lifespan and improve the quality of life for unaccompanied enlisted personnel. The three barracks are each two-story and total over 41,000 SF. With abatement of hazardous materials and work at heights posing intrinsic challenges, RMA developed and implemented detailed Asbestos and Lead Work Plans and a Site Specific Fall Protection Plan to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the safe performance of work. Onsite for 163 days, the project has logged 42,273 man-hours and 3,540 equipment hours with zero lost time incidents. Drywall installation was recently completed with the next phase to include installation of flooring. Congratulations to the onsite team for their continued achievements in safety and client service!

Share to Twitter Share to Facebook Share to Pinterest Monday, July 8, 2013 Fort Hood Access Control Point Project, Onsite for a Year with Zero Lost Time Safety Incidents Safety Success is a Team Effort. As a result of the firm commitment from our subcontractors to uphold RMA’s health and safety standards, the Access Control Point (ACP) project at Fort Hood, TX, has achieved 365 days with zero lost time safety incidents. RMA’s onsite team implementing the site-specific Health & Safety Plan (HSP) at the ACP consists of James Steinke (SSHO), Bill Moss (Project Manager), Henry Beaston (Superintendent), Scott Steward (QC Manager), and Paul Henion (QC Specialist). The jobsite is located within Fort Hood’s East Range. With the requirement for the range to remain operational at all times during construction, a traffic control plan was developed and implemented to safely divert traffic and ensure the continued operation of roadways. In addition, the HSP requires daily safety briefings and equipment safety checks, along with onsite training and regular safety audits, to ensure complete awareness of potential hazards, mitigation measures, and proper equipment operations. A key partner in the project’s HSP is TTG Utilities (TTGU), a local contractor based in Gatesville, TX. TTGU was subcontracted to perform a significant portion of work on the ACP including Site Utilities, Earthwork, Concrete, and Paving services. With numerous safety hazards associated with these features of work, RMA has worked closely with the TTGU crew to ensure safety while meeting schedule milestones. RMA recently hosted a safety event on June 28, 2013, and recognized the TTGU crew for their unwavering commitment to safety. The TTGU crew is currently comprised of Randy Key (Foreman/Motor Grader Operator), Daniel Kolthoff (Water Truck/Flat Wheel Roller Operator), and Chapin Haynes (Laborer/Operator). The three-person crew has been onsite every work day since March 2013, working without any incident, consistently completing all required documentation, such as the safety equipment checklist, and recording equipment hours on their daily reports. Thank you to everyone on the ACP team for their contribution to a safe work environment!
