GSFC – Wallops (WFF) Overview

Utilities on center provide critical power, potable water, cooling, heating, fire protection, and sanitary needs, necessary to occupy the facilities and perform mission work.

4 Central Plants: (Potable Water, Wastewater, Emergency Power, and Propane)

• The Domestic Water system provides potable drinking water and water for the fire protection system.

• The Wastewater Plant treats wastewater for the entire facility.

• The Emergency Power system provides backup power to the Main Base, Mainland, and Island.

• The Propane Distribution system distributes propane throughout the Main Base for heating

Population – 1200 employees Site Area – 6580 acres Building Area – 1.13 M gsf Replacement Value - $1,215M

GSFC – WFF Utilities Statistics

• Potable Water - 35 miles of piping, seven wells, two potable water chlorination plants, two ground level water storage tanks, and four elevated water storage tanks.

• Wastewater Plant - Five lift stations, 28 miles of sanitary lines and a 300,000 gallon per day wastewater treatment plant.

• Electrical Distribution - 36 miles of power cables to buildings and site.

• Propane Distribution - 5 miles of polypropylene piping to buildings.

• Storm Drain - 15 miles of underground storm water conveyance.

• Power/Communications Duct Bank - 12 miles of underground concrete-encased conduits.

• Paving – 57 miles of paved roads, 21 miles of unpaved roadways, and 69 acres of parking lots.

• Energy Management Control System - 40,000 + points programmed for the control and monitoring of HVAC systems, plant alarms, sewage lift stations and electrical power.

• Chilled Water Distribution - HVAC systems at WFF are mostly decentralized, though a small underground chilled water piping system of less than 1 mile provides cooling and dehumidification for part of the E-area.
