Project # 2021-3707 | Mark VIII Tank Shelter

PROJECT SUMMARY:

The Museum intends to display a recently acquired historic Mark VIII tank at the northwest corner of Rodman Avenue and Gillespie Street in the lawn of building 360.

Per their requirements for display of exterior artifacts, the tank needs to be covered. This project will provide a concrete pad and metal shelter where the tank will be displayed.

The 46’ by 26’ pad will consist of an 8” thick reinforced concrete slab with a 12” thickened edge and include a 6’ wide exposed aggregate walk around the perimeter. The canopy of the shelter will be a 50’ by 26’-8” low pitch gable roof supported on tube steel columns. At its tallest point the structure will be approximately 16’-6” above the concrete pad. The shelter manufacturer’s structural engineers will design the shelter structure and concrete foundation piers. The desired appearance of the structure is described in the attached Architectural drawings (Appendix B).

Two lights will be installed between the tank and the Northwest corner of Rodman Avenue and Gillespie Street to illuminate the tank as described in the attached Electrical drawings (Appendix B).

Grade at the proposed shelter location is lower than adjacent sidewalks. In order to create positive drainage, the top of the concrete pad will be elevated above the adjacent sidewalks and drain tile will be installed to mitigate water collection around the perimeter of the shelter. The Contractor will provide excavation, fill, and tree removal (including stump grinding) as described in the attached Civil drawings (Appendix B).

The concrete work will include sidewalks from the pad out to Rodman Avenue and Gillespie Street.

The tank will be placed on the completed concrete pad by others prior to the installation of the canopy. The Contractor will be required to execute the work in two phases before and after the placement of the tank. The tank is currently undergoing restoration work in the RIA Factory.
