Garrison Construction Group Construction Projects for Space Industry Leaders
Introduction
Houston, coined “Space City,” the original home of U.S. manned space flight operations, and the current home of the NASA Johnson Space Center, is a globally recognized space industry hub.
A highly technical field with strict scientific requirements, construction projects for the space industry can at times be more complex than the average commercial build-out.
Garrison Construction Group had the opportunity to serve as general contractor, working with Jones Lang LaSalle (JLL), Colliers International Group, Inc., and CDI Douglass Pye, Inc., for construction projects for space industry leaders NanoRacks, Leidos, Airbus DS Space Systems, Inc., and Lockheed Martin. Following are highlights from those projects.
NanoRacks
Building new NanoRacks facility from Phase I to Completion, including cleanroom to house equipment destined for the International Space Station
Garrison Construction Group served as General Contractor from Phase I to Completion, working with with Colliers International, Inc. and CDI Douglass Pye, Inc., to construct new offices for NanoRacks, a company at the forefront of commercial space industry development.
The 22,000 square-foot NanoRacks facility included a “Cleanroom” to house the $20M Bishop Airlock, “the first complex commercially developed and privately owned element on the International Space Station.”
The project also included an avionics lab for electronic systems, a wet lab for biological experiments, offices, meeting spaces, lobby, break room/ kitchen, restrooms and more.
Leidos
A small project, but with specific technical requirements in the Leidos lab helped Garrison Construction Group gain status as a preferred vendor for Jones Lang LaSalle
The project was straightforward and small - install a sink in a Leidos laboratory. The challenge was to install the sink without needing to extensively saw-cut through the concrete foundation.
As General Contractor for the project, Garrison Construction Group installed a specialty pump-down system to allow waste water to be pumped back into main line and to install the sink without extensive concrete damage.
