Repair GPS Facility B39762

Client
US Space Force Space Operations Command

Location
Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida

Project Overview

Oneida repaired and modernized Facility B39762, a mission-critical Global Positioning System (GPS) operations facility at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. Supporting one of only four ground antennas responsible for commanding and controlling the Department of Defense’s (DoD) Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) mission, the facility required extensive improvements to address water intrusion, aging infrastructure, environmental hazards, and deteriorated building systems while remaining fully operational. The project included comprehensive HVAC upgrades, environmental remediation, electrical improvements, interior renovations, building envelope repairs, and site enhancements that restored facility functionality and extended long-term service life.

Key Highlights

  • Renovated a mission-critical GPS operations facility supporting one of four global ground antennas used for DoD PNT operations
  • Repaired and replaced HVAC equipment, including condensing units, packaged units, ductwork, mechanical components, and controls systems
  • Performed asbestos abatement, mold remediation, flooring replacement, drywall restoration, painting, and antimicrobial treatment throughout occupied spaces
  • Installed upgraded alarm systems, LED lighting, and flood monitoring capabilities to improve facility safety and resilience
  • Managed a multidisciplinary team of subcontractors while maintaining continuous operation of mission-essential systems and achieving an outstanding safety record

Approach

The project required careful coordination among mechanical, electrical, environmental, architectural, and site construction disciplines to support critical-mission operations throughout construction. Oneida developed phased work plans to minimize disruption to occupants and sensitive equipment while completing HVAC upgrades, environmental remediation, interior restoration, and exterior repairs. Mechanical improvements included equipment replacement, duct cleaning and disinfection, system integration, and TAB activities. Concurrently, the team performed mold and asbestos remediation, flooring and wall restoration, stormwater improvements, parking lot rehabilitation, lighting upgrades, and alarm system installations. Rigorous quality control, environmental compliance, and safety management ensured all work met federal and Space Force requirements.

Results and Impact

The completed project restored and modernized a critical GPS command-and-control facility supporting global navigation and defense operations. Upgraded mechanical systems, improved environmental conditions, renovated interiors, enhanced electrical infrastructure, and repaired site features increased reliability, safety, and operational readiness. Through proactive management of unforeseen conditions and a collaborative approach with government stakeholders, Oneida maintained uninterrupted mission support while delivering a modernized facility positioned for long-term performance.
