UES is honored to be part of this two-year, $64.8 million project to demolish the existing headquarters and construct a new seven-story facility. This state-of-the-art building will serve as the centerpiece of Kennedy Space Center's Central Campus initiative, which aims to replace aging Industrial Area facilities with modern, energy-efficient structures that occupy a smaller footprint. The new headquarters will replace the current 50-year-old building.
Designed to accommodate approximately 500 personnel, the ultra-modern, 200,000-square-foot headquarters will feature numerous sustainability enhancements to improve energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. The project spans 5.5 acres, including the building, parking areas, roadways, and walkways. Constructed with a concrete frame and a steel-framed roof and canopy, the structure will be supported by 390 driven piles on pile caps. Additional work includes on-site and off-site sitework, such as soil removal and replacement beneath the building pad and drainage improvements throughout the central campus.
As part of this project, UES provided critical expertise, including a Certified Welding Inspector and Senior Engineering Technicians for various inspections and tests. These services included Pile Driving Inspections, CAPWAP and WEAP Analysis, Static Load Testing (Quick Load method), Moisture/Density Relationship (Proctor) Tests, Limerock Bearing Ratio Tests, Asphalt Extraction Gradations, Asphalt Core Thickness and Density Tests, Concrete Test Cylinders, Concrete Monitoring, In-Place Density Tests, and Floor Flatness Tests using an F-Meter.
