THE PROVEN SEDIMENT CONTROL CHOICEFOR ALL YOUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Guam MACC Builders, A JV (GMB) and NAVFAC started a very constructive relationship early on during design stage of this project. This co-operation assisted both teams to work effectively and ensure all project requirements are met. This also resulted with smooth transition from design to construction phase. We worked hard together to ensure all issues encountered were dealt immediately with least impact to Government.
Safety
GMB monitored safety very closely and was able to complete the project with no Lost Time at total of 110,000 work hours. NAVFAC is planning to nominate this project for Safety Star Award.
Sustainable Design
All of the Clear Rinse Station wastewa-ter line is captured and returned to the recycle treatment staging tank visa a gravity sewer. Immediately downstream of the rinse pad, 70 m of 1000 mm pipe provides approximately 55,000 liter of storage to attenuate high flow rates. An “in-line filter” provided for oil removal from the rinse station wastewater. Recycled filtered water is stored under-ground in 20,000 gallon tank. Water quality is automatically monitored in the rinse supply tanks for Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The rinse system will shut off, and an alarm will be activated should the rinse water exceed the set parameters. The system also has two Ozone Systems, one for each rinse water holding tanks. Approximately 28,000sf of exiting HMA
pavement was removed by cold milling and reused in imported General fill in accordance with specification 31 00 00 Earthwork.
Continuity of Operations
The construction of this project was scheduled to minimize disruption to Andersen Air Force Base normal operations. A clearance of 61 m from the center of the Taxiway Delta was provided for aircraft to use this taxiway. The construction phasing and work schedule is designed to keep Taxiway Delta open to air traffic as much as possible. Any work within 61 m of an active taxiway is closely coordinated with the Contracting Officer and Base Operations. Natural Constrains and protection of Sinkhole
The project area is partially at a lower elevation than the existing airfield elevation. Adjacent to the north of the site, there is a deep depression contain-ing a natural occurring sinkhole. No work was allowed within the sinkhole bound-ary or the 15m buffer surrounding the sinkhole. GMB constructed two sizable sedimentation basins with series of check dams to protect sinkhole. Our Storm Water Prevention Plan was monitored very closely to make sure the local environmental agency and NAVFAC are satisfied with the results.
Fueling Systems
The GMB team constructed a new 1,400 LF fuel hydrant loop, which expands from the existing Phase 4 hydrant loop.
The new fuel piping is Schedule 40 seamless stainless steel material. A section of the existing 350mm (14 inches) supply piping was removed to allow the new piping loop spool to be installed. All of the new hydrant piping is provided with 3D radius elbows and barred tees to be fully piggable. In addition to stainless pipe, the new loop is also equipped with cathodic protection and coated per AWWA C215 standards.
GMB installed four hydrant isolation valve pits, each adjacent to its main aircraft direct fueling position parking area. Pits are fiberglass and each is contained in a CIP concrete enclosure and include lightweight, bolt down covers for Government furnished pantograph connection. Two new Low point drains and two High point vent pits were installed along the new hydrant piping.
Aircraft Clear Rinse Facilities with Water Recycling System
The new aircraft rinse facility provides clear water rinse for aircraft, returning from flights to remove corrosive materi-als. The wash site consists of a taxi-through rinse pad where the aircrafts are automatically rinsed and a pump room that holds the support equipment for the rinse cycles. The system uses recycled water in combina-tion with fresh water to rinse the aircrafts.
The system is designed to rinse the MV-22 Osprey and KC-130 aircraft. Rotary wing aircrafts can also be rinsed. Skid type rotary wing aircrafts can only be rinsed in manual mode. GMB also

NER

con-structed the
rinse pad which consists of: Under-wing
Spray Manifolds – Four horizontal spray bars provide
under-wing coverage for aircraft. Each spray bar holds 25 spray
nozzles, aimed upward to cover the underside of the plane wings and fuselage. The system uses two spray bars to rinse the MV-22 and four to rinse the KC-130.
Rinse Monitors: Eight water monitors/cannons rinse the top surfaces of the wings, fuselage, and tail. The system uses four monitors to rinse the MV-22 and eight to rinse the KC-130.
Aircraft Sensors: Two sensor strips embedded in the ramp surface detect the plane entering and exiting the rinse pad to enable and disable the rinse cycle. Pump Room: The pump building is located to the West of the rinse pad. This building houses the equipment to control, protect, and support the functions that take place on the rinse pad.
Airfield Lighting and Signage
GMB constructed enclosures and installed 122 airfield LED edge lights and eight Airfield signs. The GMB team also installed a new Constant Current Regulator (CCR) to support the system. The project also provides security level and operation level lighting for the fuel pads and rinse pad. The source will be metal halide 1000W fixtures. The high lighting poles are provided with internal lowering mechanisms. Poles and foundation are designed to withstand 170MPH wind speed. GMB installed four high mast light poles (approx. 88ft long each) for security and operations, and placed about 95 CY in concrete for each high mast pole foundation.
Utilities and Site Work
Utilities for the project include a new water line for fire protection and the rinse station that was extended from an existing water line near the southeast corner of the site. GMB installed 2,400LF of new C900 – 12” diameter waterline with seven fire hydrants. The apron area was designed and constructed to drain using a series of catch basins, manholes to the new
system GMB installed 1,800LF of various size reinforced HDPE pipe with 12 precast concrete manholes.
On the north side, GMB relocated an existing communications duct bank 50ft to the east to clear the new Rinse Pad. GMB constructed duct bank and installed 1,000LF of 12 and 144 stand fiber optic cables. On the south side, GMB installed two miles of 900 pair copper and 288 stand fiber optic cables. Our team also provided four communi-cation precast concrete manholes. GMB also constructed 1,200LF of new 15 KV medium voltage duct bank with nine new electrical precast concrete manholes, installed a new 500KV transformer, relocated an existing medium voltage electrical switch, and constructed duct bank for four high mast poles. GMB also installed MDP panels and electrical circuits for Pump house equipment.

“What’s in a name?” The famous William Shakespeare
asked this. Some literary schol-ars probably theorize Shakespeare
was talking about how names don’t really matter – that all we need to know is what something is and not the name of who or what is behind it. Shakespeare was probably guiding the evolution the English language, or simply developing an under-standing of what character is for many to live by for centuries to come.
In an ever-growing, expanding, and strengthening industry like construction, it is important to stick to a name and what it rep-resents. Some boldly stick out, while others fade with the passing colors. In the psychol-ogy of colors, black is synonymous with so-phistication, excellence, and efficiency. The Guam Contractors Association is proud to name and congratulate Black Construction Corporation as the 2015 Contractor of the Year.
Through and through, BCC has continu-ously lived up to its name of excellence and efficiency, while promoting the highest degree of quality and safety for their clients
and the island they have called home for over five decades.
Safety is of the highest importance for any contractor. BCC set a goal in 2007 to enhance their safety program, which pro-vides incentives to Safety Officers to obtain their certification. BCC saw a significant increase in the number of certified safety of-ficers seven times over. This increase made it so there was extra attention to details for each project and greater focus – enhancing, not only a safer work environment, but setting an industry standard.
The record speaks for itself with a litany of performance awards, including the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Marianas Safety Through Awards Recognition (STAR) Outstanding Safety Performance and Exceptional Commitment to Safety for 2014, the ABC National Excellence in Construction Award, and 12-time awardee for the Overall Excellence in Construction Award. This isn’t their first rodeo either since BCC has received the highly-coveted Contractor of the Year award several times before, an unheard-of feat, which speaks volumes of their work ethic,
commitment to safety, and contribu-tions to the communities in which they work.
“BCC’s success lies in its self-sufficiency,” is stated in BCC’s Contractor of the Year application. Boasting over 300 local employees, BCC has made their mark has successfully developed varied and accommodating ways to manage their projects in-house. This only helps them to enhance their experience and project management expertise, and allows them to meet deadlines on time and within budget – keeping things “in the black”, some might say.
In an age of conservation, environmental awareness, and efficiency, the community is seeing more and more businesses, especially construction companies working to reduce their ‘carbon footprint’. More than maintaining impeccable safety standards, BCC is committed to environmental responsibility and sustainability. They are a member of the U.S. Green Building Council and are committed to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEEDs) program. Currently, BCC has a growing list

fessionals and certi-fied LEEDs Associates.
BCC understands the construc-tion industry has an important role
in the growth and development of our entire island. On the same note as
environmental awareness, we’ve seen the destruction of invasive species can cause. From the damage caused by the Brown Tree Snake to the deterioration of Guam’s beloved trungkon niyok (Coconut Tree) by the Rhinoceros Beetle, it is imperative for construction companies to have a detailed plan of action to deal. BCC has implemented a strict Navy environmental program known as Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point Plan (HACCP), which promotes project-specific plans for “documenting procedures for all necessary inspections of raw construction materials, equipment, and vehicles for non-native invasive and pest species prior to entering the project site and prior to moving equipment off-site.” They even hired SWCA Environmental Consultants to develop the plans, and their plan addresses preventive measures to keep additional non-native species from entering a project site.
At the helm, and the biggest influence in maintaining the image and distinction of Black Construction, are Leonard Kaae, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Thomas Anderson, Executive Vice President, Mark J. Mamczarz, Vice President of Finance, Secretary, and Trea-surer, John McSweeney, Vice President of Estimating and Business Development, and Donald J. McCann, Vice President of Operations. Their experience and industry knowledge have only helped the growth and development of, not just BCC but, the highest standards of construction in the Asia-Pacific region from Hawaii to the Philippines.
But, beyond their pretty immaculate safety record and their dedication to environmental awareness is the heart of any organization: the employees and the message they continuously demonstrate - ensuring the community as a whole benefits.
The BCC has a record of assisting local organizations and establishing partnerships with stakeholders. Employees are encour-aged to volunteer their time to the commu-nity. BCC has a strong relationship with the local chapters of the Special Olympics, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Guam, the Guam Veterans Association, the Guam Chamber of Commerce, the Make-A-Wish Founda-
tion, the Guam Girl Scouts, and USO Guam. They are committed to helping the entire community, even lending their talents to construct a playground for a child with the Make-A-Wish organization – a “Wish Kid”.
It is understandable that sometimes the construction business isn’t black and white. Obstacles arise and it is constantly changing. It is a malleable industry after all. Things happen. But, Black Construction has consistently, efficiently, and effectively lived up to its name. With the wheels in full motion for the military buildup and the relocation of over 5,000 Marines and their dependents, we look to organizations like BCC to set the example and lead an indus-try – and the island for that matter – toward success.
So, what truly is in a name? It’s heart in making a difference in the lives of the entire community – not just their clientele. It’s character, which helps them stand out from the crowd as a leader. What we can see from BCC is their longevity and commitment to the community. They have left their mark on an island that is changing with the times. They are leading the way in safety and construction on Guam and the region. They are making a lasting positive impact on Guam; an impact many appreciate and a model many follow.

“For some time our group had been asking for a 401(k) benefit. My first impression was that providing this type of program for a group as small as ours might be on the expensive side. Not only did ASC Trust Corporation break this
misconception, they surpassed my expectations. We were able to start a plan that was both fairly priced and made sense with what we were looking for. In the end, the tailored-solution was exactly what our team needed.” - Bill Beery
