J85 Test Pad, Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA)

This project is to construct a J85 Engine Test Cell concrete pad and associated utilities specifically designed to meet all environmental, safety, depot, fuels, maintenance, electrical, and airfield requirements. This pad will be load rated to reinforce thrust bed operation and will support all equipment necessary for the facility including air compressor, fuel tank, and exhaust stacks. Construction will be concrete and include a ramp to connect the existing ramp area to the new test cell pad and suitable for towing engines to and from the facility as required. All underground utilities for connection to the test cell are included. The project also includes an ornamental fence surrounding the area. Facilities will be designed as permanent construction in accordance with the DoD Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) 1-200-01, General Building Requirements and UFC 1-200-02, High Performance and Sustainable Building Requirements. This project will comply with DoD Antiterrorism/force protection requirements per UFC 4-010-01.
