CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILENEW MULTI-LEVEL PARKING GARAGE, VA MEDICAL CENTERFAYETTEVILLE, AR | $12 MILLION
Cyntergy designed this new,
standalone, multi-level garage,
which provides structured park-
ing (522 spaces) for a mix of staff,
patients and visitors at the VA
Medical Center in Fayetteville. The
project includes stairs, elevator
lobbies, an electric room and ele-
vator equipment room along with
site and utility work.
The garage was constructed uti-
lizing pre-cast concrete breams
and columns for the main struc-
ture and pre-cast double tee with
a site cast topping slab for the
parking decks.
The garage was
designed as an
open-air struc-
ture, in order to
minimize the
mechanical ven-
tilation require-
ments.
Cyntergy provid-
ed full AE design
services on this design-build proj-
ect, which included ATFP concerns
regarding passive barriers, stand-
off distances and vehicular access
control as well as coordination
with SHPO and the City of Fayette-
ville for historical requirements.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEURGENT & PRIMARY CARE EXPANSION & RENOVATION, PHASE IVA MEDICAL CENTER, FAYETTEVILLE, AR | $3.5 MILLION
Cyntergy provided full AE services
on this project, which involved
the renovation of approximately
8,000sf of existing facilities and
9,000sf of new facilities. Also in-
cluded was parking design, road-
way design, lighting design, utility
installation/relocation, sheet flow
storm drainage and various pedes-
trian elements. Construction also
included a 32 space, ADA accessi-
ble parking lot and approximately
2,235 square-yards of new asphalt
pavement with curb and gutter.
The VA also required assistance in
programming/concept design, in
order to produce a design that re-
flected its master plan guidelines,
served the end user (medical staff)
and met the growing needs of the
facility.
In addition, the main hospital
building has significant historical
elements that required coordi-
nation with historic preservation
jurisdictional authorities in consid-
ering the expansion options. Cyn-
tergy also assisted in the bidding
process and also provided con-
struction administration services
during the general contractor’s
construction period.
Cyntergy provided mechanical,
electrical, architectural, structural,
civil and construction phase ser-
vices for a major steam heating
plant upgrade that included an ini-
tial feasibility study, detailed con-
struction plans and specifications.
The feasibility study included a
thorough steam usage audit and
steam system investigation phase
for all of the VA campus buildings
served by the main heating plant.
The audit included the survey
steam usage for hospital steril-
ization systems, comfort heating,
outside treatment and a large
commercial steam laundry. The
study indicated that decentraliza-
tion and converting from steam
to hot water boilers was indeed a
beneficial option, both in regards
to economics and energy con-
sumption; however, due to oper-
ational requirements associated
with high pressure steam and au-
toclave requirements, the final de-
cision was made to continue with
an upgraded centralized steam
plant for the VA’s Fayetteville Med-
ical Facility.
The project included the replace-
ment of three existing Cleav-
er-Brooks steam boilers at the
main heating plant building. In
addition to the steam
boiler upgrade, the main
below-grade steam dis-
tribution system serving
multiple buildings was
also upgraded with new
direct-bury factory-insulat-
ed steam and condensate
piping.
Cyntergy’s Mechanical
Engineering Team led
the effort in providing
the engineering design,
feasibility study and esti-
mating to assist the VA in making
the decision to ultimately keep
the centralized steam production
facility with upgraded steam dis-
tribution. Cyntergy prepared bid
and construction documents for
the upgraded steam boiler plant
system and provided construction
administration services to the VA
during construction of the project.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEBOILER REPLACEMENT STUDY & DESIGNVA MEDICAL CENTER, FAYETTEVILLE, AR | $1.5 MILLION
The Cyntergy/McSorley Architects
Design Team was awarded this to-
tal small business set-aside project
at the Department of Veterans Af-
fairs Medical Facility in Fayetteville.
This project expanded the existing
Primary Care Building on the east
side of the main hospital build-
ing complex by roughly 7,000sf;
essentially, by utilizing the same
functional areas previously de-
signed by Cyntergy and construct-
ed for the Urgent and Primary Care
facility expansion. Medical areas
included reception, clerk stations,
nursing care ar-
eas, and exam
rooms.
The Design
Team provided
full construction
bid documents,
which involved
full AE and con-
struction phase
services.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEPRIMARY CARE FACILITY EXPANSION, PHASE II
VA MEDICAL CENTER, FAYETTEVILLE, AR | $1.6 MILLION
Cyntergy provided architectural,
multidiscipline engineering and
construction services on the VA’s
Mental Health Outpatient Center
expansion in Fayetteville, Arkan-
sas.
The project consisted of a second
floor expansion of approximately
13,554sf of medical office space
designed to house additional
mental health resources, in order
to accommodate increased visits
resulting from the returning vets
from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Cyntergy also provided design
for a Category 5e voice and data
networks infrastructure expansion
to Mental Health Building. The de-
sign was based upon TIA/EIA-568,
569-A and 607, as well as VA stan-
dards, consisting of one main dis-
tribution closet housing both the
digital voice and data networks.
The network cables were routed
through the facility using an above
the ceiling cable tray system and
fire stopping was designed be-
tween the rated assemblies. A typ-
ical work-station drop provided
for two voice and two data RJ-45
ports with voice lines terminated
on 110 blocks and data lines ter-
minated in Cat5e patch panels. All
drops were required to be tested
and certified as Cat5e prior to ac-
ceptance.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEMENTAL HEALTH FACILITY EXPANSIONVA MEDICAL CENTER, FAYETTEVILLE, AR | $4.2 MILLION
Cyntergy provided architecture and engineering services on this design-build project consisting of a 9,665sf Weapons System Trainer high-bay addition to an existing flight simulator facility.
The project included concrete footings and slab on grade, struc-tural steel frame, standing seam metal roof, brick exterior walls, fire protection/suppression, electrical distribution, including electrical distribution for mission critical UPS system. Also included complete 341 node Category 6 voice and data network infrastructure de-signs, consisting of fiber-optic and UTP media, cable-tray, network closet hardware and grounding.
This facility was hard wired for voice and data Category 6 with an intermediate distribution clos-et. Also included was a fiber optic backbone and 200-pair copper voice trunk routed from an exist-ing MDC, with approximately 430 nodes installed on the network. A
new raised floor computer room is served from the intermediate clos-et and Category 6 cabling installed for Government furnished and in-stalled security devices.
Site work included relocation of an anode bed and runoff drainage swale, asphalt access roadway and parking areas.
Cyntergy also coordinated with a third party Commissioning Agent (CxA) to generate pre-functional and functional equipment per-formance tests and checklists, reviewed Owner’s Project Require-ments, responded to deficiency logs generated by the CxA and assisted with trouble-shooting equipment startup issues.
This project complies with Depart-ment Of Defense anti-terrorism/force protection requirements per Unified Facilities Criteria with raised floor space for operational comput-ers, briefing rooms, component and facility storage, classrooms, and instructor areas. The area is se-
curable to the Secret Level and con-forms to the security architecture of the existing facility, meets safety requirements for new construction and complies with established physical security guidelines.
The C-130 project received LEED Sil-ver certification under the LEED 2.2 rating system. Sustainable features incorporated in the design include a thermally efficient building enve-lope, high efficiency HVAC systems, high efficiency plumbing fixtures, water efficient landscaping, use of recycled building materials and low VOC paints and coatings.
This design-build project received an overall CCASS rating of “Out-standing” and an overall design evaluation of “Excellent.”
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEC-130 FLIGHT SIMULATOR FACILITY ADDITION
LITTLE ROCK AFB, AR | $5 MILLION
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE REPAIR HANGAR 250, PHASES I & II LITTLE ROCK AFB, AR | $9 MILLION
Cyntergy provided professional services for the upgrade of Hangar 250 (152,174sf) at Little Rock AFB. Constructed in 1954, Hangar 250 is the oldest building at the base, and the functions/organizations associated with this hangar involve the upgrade, maintenance and repair of C-130 aircraft. There are four cubes inside this hangar area used for aircraft maintenance and repair functions that house offic-es, parts storage, machine shops, break rooms, rest rooms and other support functions. The hangar also contains three open spaces for complete housing of C-130 aircraft during maintenance functions.
The primary purpose of the phase I renovation consisted of replacing the existing fire protection system with a new high expansion foam and sprinkler system. This system was fully engineered and designed to provide coverage within the hangar as well as the cube interi-or spaces to meet UFC and NFPA design criteria. A new address-able alarm system was provided with one master panel reporting through one Monaco BTX-F trans-ceiver. This fire alarm system utilizes voice enunciation for conditions in lieu of tones meeting intelligibility requirements of NFPA 72 as modi-fied by UFC 4-021-01. In addition,
the scope of work included the design and construction of a new domestic water supply; new eye wash stations; upgrade and refur-bishment of cube areas; removal of old steam boilers and modification of the facility to house the new HEX foam equipment; as well as civil/structural analyzes. Hangar 250 was required to be fully occupied and in use during the entire dem-olition and construction period, which required detailed construc-tion phasing.
Phase II consisted of the renovation and repurposing of all four support cubes and the addition of a new break room outside cube 1 with a separate HVAC system. This includ-ed design services to reconfigure one cube, while others were com-pletely gutted and reconfigured, which required new structural members, HVAC system upgrades, and replacement of various elec-trical system components. The fire protection system was also extend-ed and reconfigured to include the addition of the break room and reconfigured cubes. Phase II also required Hangar 250 to be fully occupied and in use during the entire demolition and construction period, which required detailed construction phasing.
All components of the electrical distribution system more than three years old, including select branch circuit panel boards, dis-connect switches, motor starters, feeder conduit and conductors were replaced. The hangar was Category 6 hard-wired voice and data, with multiple distribution closets. Approximately 100 nodes were installed on the networks. Project incorporated fiber optic backbone and Cat6 voice trunk. Voice and data networks inter-faced into an existing demark.
The hangar operations are mission critical and required operations to take place throughout the con-struction phases. As a result, phas-ing requirements were developed with close collaboration with the Using Agency representatives. In addition, modifications and up-grades made during Phase I, and other projects affecting the han-gar, were incorporated into Phase II during the design phase as these changes took place.
Under its AE Open End Contract,
Cyntergy provided a Space Anal-
ysis Study of Buildings 1250 and
1255 at Little Rock AFB. Building
1250 is the Wing Command and
houses many functions of the base
command, including headquar-
ters for the 19th Airlift Wing, the
19th Mission Support Group and
the Law Center. This space anal-
ysis was required to determine
that the spatial requirements and
space allocations for each group
met the requirements set forth by
Air Force Handbook (AFH) 32-1084
(1 September 1996).
Building 1250 is a two story struc-
ture consisting of 32,172sf and in-
cluded areas supporting:
• 314th Air Wing & Command
Staff
• Protocol
• Wing Plans (XP)
• Public Affairs (PA)
• Law Center (JAG)
• 314th Mission Support Group
(MSG)
Building 1255 is a two story struc-
ture consisting of 54,000sf and in-
cluded areas supporting:
• Area Defense Council (ADC)
• 314th Mission Support
Squadron (MSS)
• Civilian Personnel
• Military Personnel
• Air Force Reserve Recruiting
Office
• 314th Logistics Readiness
Squadron (LRS)
• 314th Security Forces
Squadron (SFS)
• Retiree Office (CVR)
• 314th Services Squadron (SVS)
• 314th Comptroller Squadron
(CPTS)
• Union Office
Under a separate task order (TO
8001), Cyntergy provided pro-
fessional design services for the
renovation and reconfiguration
of Building 1250. The focus of this
project was the Law Center, spe-
cifically the courtroom, which oc-
cupies the majority of the second
floor of this two-story building.
The redesign of the courtroom
was necessary to make the space
more functional and to meet the
current AF Standards regarding
formal decorum requirements for
Court-Martial proceedings.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEB1250 & 1255 SPACE ANALYSIS STUDY, LITTLE ROCK AFB, AR
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B1250 RENOVATION & RECONFIGURATION OF COURTROOM INTERIORLITTLE ROCK AFB, AR | >$1 MILLION
Building 1250 is the Wing Com-
mand and houses many functions
of the base command including
Headquarters for the 19th Airlift
Wing, the 19th Mission Support
Group and the base Law Center.
The focus of the project was the
Law Center, specifically the court-
room, which occupies the ma-
jority of the second floor of this
two-story building. The redesign
of the courtroom was necessary
to make the space more functional
and to meet the current AF Stan-
dards regarding formal decorum
requirements for Court-Martial
proceedings.
Cyntergy’s scope included the
relocation of the judge’s bench,
witness stand, court reporter’s
stand and jury box, which was
expanded from eight seats to
fourteen. The audience seating
was increased from twenty to
twenty-five personnel, and the
judge’s stand raised and relocated
to a new more visible room loca-
tion, flanked by a new witness and
court reporter stands. An addition-
al objective of the renovation was
to provide sounds attenuation to
prevent outside noise and to
maintain privacy of the court pro-
ceedings. Technology upgrades
were incorporated into the design
providing new communication
and AV connectivity, video tele-
conferencing, as well as the reloca-
tion of the projection equipment
and the sound/recording system.
The space limitation created
unique challenges for space re-
quirements as well as lines of site
for courtroom functional require-
ments. Close coordination with
JAG personnel was also required
to obtain audio-visual, seating
and other courtroom staff needs,
and interface with the automated
court reporting system required
strict sound attenuation guide-
lines that included replacement
of HVAC fan coil units to reduce
noise. The Law Office and Wing
Command functions, both being
located adjacent to the court-
room, remained occupied and
functioning during the project.
Coordination was required to en-
sure construction buffers, dust
protection and access require-
ments throughout the project.
Lisa Smith, Contract Specialist USAF 19th Contracting Squadron
“Provided very thorough site investigation and field analysis from beginning of project. Plans and specifications provided were detailed and accurate. Provided design submittals on-time or ahead of schedule. Highly cooperative and responsive to changes requested by Government throughout the design process. AE firm’s cooperation and responsiveness postured Govern-ment to capture end-of-fiscal year funds for construction.”
Under its AE Open End Contract, Cyntergy provided services for this 26,000sf, 3-story dormitory facility. The existing HVAC system was anti-quated, inefficient and did not pro-vide a comfortable environment for the occupants of the building. A new system was designed utiliz-ing the existing air handling unit, but replacing 92 fan coil units, a 50 ton chiller, and a hydronic heating boiler. A modern variable refrig-erant system (VRF) was designed including new controls, piping and ductwork. All electrical, natural gas, and other utility systems were modified and comply with ATFP guidelines. An economic analysis was performed to identify and evaluate the best energy efficient option that complies with high ef-ficiency energy system guidelines. Additionally, the ceilings in the ex-isting egress corridors represented a code violation due to inadequate height and were raised to bring the space into compliance.
Being that this facility is a dormi-tory, life safety was a consideration in all phases of design. The ceiling changes required the walls be
sealed from floor to ceiling to pre-vent the passage of smoke from one space to another. Matching wall covering was installed from the top of the door frame to the ceiling and from wall to wall in order to present a matching look to the extension, and gordon trim was installed to cover the existing electrical conduit. The boiler chim-ney was removed and required exterior patching of the building at each floor level as well as at roof level, which was completed using matching materials.
The newly designed system re-quired removal of the existing chilled water and hot water 2-pipe system and installation of a new variable refrigerant flow (VRF) sys-tem. The VRF is a total direct ex-pansion system that also uses heat recovery for energy savings. All phases of this system combined to result in a more energy efficient sys-tem throughout the building. Every sleeping room has a wall mounted unit to provide heating and cooling depending on condition, and all common areas and corridors are serviced by this system. Each of the
three floors has two dedicated sys-tems with each system having two condensing units, and all systems operate independently of each other. The energy management control system (EMCS) was also up-graded to monitor the VRF system as well as the MAU.
During the project, the existing corridor light fixtures were sus-pended from the structure to allow for the removal of the lay-in ceiling for HVAC renovations. Demolition of all circuitry to fan coils, steam boilers, feed water pumps, and the 600 amp main panel board was necessary to allow for an upgrade to the necessary 800 amp panel board. The new 800 amp panel board. along with all necessary feeders, was installed to provide adequate service to the new sys-tem and utilized existing conduits during the installation. This new system resulted in significant en-ergy savings due to the design of a more efficient system throughout the building.

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE HVAC REPLACEMENT & RENOVATION IN MULTIPLE FACILITIESLITTLE ROCK AFB, AR | $2 MILLION
Under an AE Open End Contract, Cyntergy provided services to replace and/or modernization various HVAC systems at multiple locations as shown below:
BUILDING 160 (CC $68,000) Scope included design and instal-lation of a new code compliant cooling system for the secure vault area as well all necessary controls and piping required to accomplish a crossover from using the 60 ton chiller (summer) to the new cool-ing unit (winter) and back again. The significant energy savings created by providing this indepen-dent unit was such that the entire cost of the project was recovered in a relatively short period of time.
BUILDING 222 (CC $357,000)Scope included the replacement of the make up air steam humidifi-ers with more energy efficient gas fired humidifiers including con-trollability through the base EMCS.
BUILDING 259 (CC $341,000)Cyntergy designed a new HVAC system, which was much more efficient and controllable through variable air volume, hot water reheat, zoning and hot water pre-heat features though out.
BUILDING 280 (CC $654,000)The existing system was replaced with a more efficient HVAC system designed by Cyntergy. All existing steam heating coils were replaced with hot water heating coils as well as new control valves and ac-
tuators; and a new hot water boiler was added to match the new load. The steam humidification system was replaced with natural gas hu-midification and the existing steam boiler and all associated piping and components were removed.
BUILDING 966 (CC 289,000)The existing split system was re-placed with an efficient HVAC system and all system compo-nents. The additive called for the replacement of the existing boiler with a condensing and modulat-ing boiler.
BUILDING 1995 (CC $66,000)With the HVAC loading changing, due to the building’s new use, a more efficient HVAC system was designed by Cyntergy.

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE FLIGHT SIMULATOR TRAINING FACILITY RENOVATION
DOVER AFB | $14.7 MILLION
Building 206 is a 70,752sf train-
ing facility mostly operated by
Flight Safety to train AF pilots
on the C-17 and C-5 aircraft. This
two-story facility is comprised of
six separate areas (A – F), which
were all constructed at different
times and required upgrades and
renovation. This renovation proj-
ect affects primarily Areas B, C, D
and E (approximately 57,710sf );
however, other areas of the build-
ing will also be affected due to
the upgrade and replacement of
HVAC systems, data, communica-
tions, fire alarm, fire protection,
power and other utilities. These
sections will receive complete
interior renovations to include re-
moval of walls, ceiling and flooring
to rebuild/reconfigure the interior,
in order to increase
efficiency. Multi-
ple user groups
were involved, in
order to determine
the needs and re-
quirements of each
group in areas such
as flight simula-
tor boys, training
rooms, mechani-
cal/electrical/data
rooms, private offices, general
open office and administration
spaces, conference rooms, lobbies,
restrooms, break/vending areas,
storage and mechanical rooms.
Construction phasing was re-
quired to minimize the impact to
users; however, some occupants
will need to be relocated during
the renovation, except for the
flight simulation and Area A oper-
ations, which must remain active
and cannot be relocated. Design
was completed in September
2014, with construction comple-
tion anticipated in October 2015.

As design partner to Zieson Con-
struction, Cyntergy provided ar-
chitecture, civil engineering and
structural engineering for the de-
sign-build construction of a new
118,324sf Training Support Cen-
ter. The TSC is a multi-use facility
and provides office space, three
specialized weapons training sim-
ulator rooms, warehouse space,
welding fabrication shop, loading
docks, weapons secure storage
holding (hazardous waste) and
equipment wash bay.
The site design included a private
operated vehicle parking lot, truck
parking, maneuvering area and
truck dock well. The civil scopes
included approximately 207,000
CUYDS of cuts and fills, detention
pond, storm sewer, sanitary sewer,
lift station, water mains, fire main,
fiber communication, copper com-
munication, electrical, concrete curb
and gutter, 127,000sf of concrete
hardstand, bollards, entrance gates
and landscape on a 10 acre site.
The sanitary sewer required a du-
plex pump lift station, 24-hours of
emergency storage and approxi-
mately 2,000’ of force main. Grinder
pumps were used in the lift station
to achieve the TDH required and to
reduce the size of the force main.
The Engagement Skill Trainer area
has three separate rooms, with a
platform at the front of each room
with firing stations. The rooms are
used to simulate battlefield con-
ditions, with electronic weapons
used in conjunction with projec-
tors and a sound system requiring
sound attenuation incorporated
into the design.
The warehouse area is used to store
training materials, and consists of
multiple storage racks, as well as a
high-density storage rack system
and required special consideration
for the floor load requirements.
The office administration is divid-
ed into two separate areas and
consists of general office space,
conference rooms, training rooms,
individual offices and restrooms.
The fabrication shop is used for
both a metal shop and wood shop,
requiring special considerations
for both types of uses. The hazard
storage area is also located in the
fabrication shop area.
Design considerations were made
for the entire facility and surround-
ing landscape for Anti-Terrorism/
Force-Protection requirements.
Unique features of this project in-
cluded the vertical conveyor stor-
age units, which stand forty feet
tall and utilized for easy access to
cataloged storage boxes as well
as the gas cylinder storage area,
which contains multiple types of
compressed gases.
This project is also LEED Silver
certified under the LEED 2.2 rat-
ing system. Sustainable features
incorporated in the design include
a thermally efficient building en-
velope, high efficiency HVAC sys-
tems, high efficiency plumbing fix-
tures, water efficient landscaping,
use of recycled building materials
and low VOC paints and coatings.
This project received an overall “Very
Good” design evaluation from the
KCD Project Manager, Mr. William
Hood, and an “Above Average”
CCASS evaluation.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEFY07 TRAPS RELOCATABLE BARRACKS FORT LEONARD WOOD, MO | $20 MILLION
Cyntergy analyzed and presented
the civil, site electrical design and
support data for the construction
and installation of relocatable
buildings and related site im-
provements on two separate sites
at Fort Leonard Wood as well as
peer reviews on the modular ven-
dor designs. Each site contained
the same building components,
such as:
• Four 2-story barracks
buildings, 120 persons per
building, 12,512sf gross area
per building
• Two 1-story arms vaults,
373sf per building—scope
was limited to the floor slab/
foundation, electrical and
sanitary utility feeds for the
vaults
The first site layout, approximately
2.2 acres, was designed to mini-
mize the impact on the existing
utilities and drainage patterns,
while utilities and sanitary were
extended to serve the new facili-
ties. The second site, approximate-
ly 1.6 acres, was a paved parking
lot with nearby housing units, a
running track and other training
facilities. The existing pavement
was demolished to prepare the
site for grading, and existing utili-
ties and sanitary were also extend-
ed to serve the new facilities.
The 2.2 acre site required a 350’
extension and the 1.6 acre site
required s 250’ main extension.
The line extensions had multiple
utility crossings as well as a road
crossing, which was made by bor-
ing under the street as no open
cut road crossings are allowed
on base. Both sewer extension
projects were combined under
one plan set and approved by
FLW DPW and permitted through
MDNR.
Cyntergy provided AE services on

gun qualification capability as well
as a range operations control area,
which included a range operations
tower, ammo breakdown area,
bleacher enclosure, battery stor-

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEINTERSECTION UPGRADE AT HOSKINS RD & FORT SILL BLVD
FORT SILL, OK | $1.2 MILLION
Cyntergy provided a construction
work plan to upgrade an existing
intersection at Hoskins Road and
Fort Sill Boulevard. The intersec-
tion previously experienced signif-
icant traffic delays and increased
risk of accidents, which was fur-
ther affected by construction of
the Air Defense Artillery facility.
The scope of this project included
conducting site visits, research,
then evaluating and providing the
construction solution and costs
required to perform the modifi-
cation of the existing intersection.
The work included determining
pavement sections, site grading,
drainage modifications, adding
and/or reconfiguring lanes includ-
ing dedicated turn lanes as neces-
sary, traffic signals/signs, vehicle
detectors, pavement markings,
relocation and/or modification of
existing utilities and structures,
turf, etc.
Traffic movements were analyzed
to determine geometric require-
ments of the intersection based
on a 2007 traffic report, which
was provided by the Govern-
ment. Geometric layout complied
with the requirements of UFC
3-250-18FA, “General Provisions
and Geometric Design for Roads,
Streets, Walks and Open Storage
Areas,” applicable current AASHTO
and ODOT guidance. Construction
details followed the current ODOT
standards and specifications and
markings and signalization com-
plied with the requirements of the
current FHW A Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control Devices. Traffic
control was fully traffic item actu-
ated on all approaches with the
default call being the north-south
through movement. The emphasis
on this project was to identify and
provide the construction cost and
solution to upgrade the intersec-
tion in the most efficient and cost
effective manner.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEPRIVATIZATION OF ARMY LODGING PROGRAM (PAL) FORT SILL, OK | $8.5 MILLION
This project included renovations
to 601 rooms at Allin, Aultman and
Geronimo Halls at Fort Sill Army
Post. These facilities are used to
house soldiers and other visitors
for stays ranging from a few days
to a few months. The scope in-
cluded complete interior aesthetic
renovations, substantial MEP up-
grades, ADA compliance and life
safety improvements.
This project was performed par-
allel to USACE contract require-
ments as far as implementation
of a Quality Control Program with
a three phase inspection process
and use of the EM 385-1-1. Key
Construction completed this proj-
ect under the Privatization of Army
Lodging Contract and received
several accolades pertaining
to performance and timeli-
ness from the owner.
Cyntergy worked as a “part-
ner” alongside Key Con-
struction and performed all
mechanical and electrical
construction inspections un-
der contract with Actus Lend
Lease. This arrangement was
perceived as an advantage
to the Actus Fort Sill project
team on this PAL project,
and the Key/Cyntergy staff
assigned to this project re-
ceived the highest commen-
dations and performance reviews
available on this Fort Sill housing
project.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILESUPPLEMENTAL QC, NEW TRAINING SUPPORT CENTER, FORT SILL, OK
Cyntergy provided supplemen-
tal quality control services to The

neering and on-site inspections
for structural, mechanical and
electrical engineering. On-site
support consisted of approximate-
ly twenty calendar days per disci-
pline over the project duration.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILENEW ROAD SALT STORAGE BUILDING (DB) FORT SILL, OK | >$1 MILLION
Cyntergy provided design services
on this new salt storage building
that stockpiles, stores and con-
tains road salts and de-icing mate-
rials used in de-icing roads.
The scope of work included prepa-
ration of the existing gravel site,
building foundation and building
to provide a complete and usable
facility for the storage of these
types of materials.
The building is approximately 82’
in diameter, dome in shape and
constructed of lumber as outlined
in the provided drawings. This new
building is located south of the
Water Pump Station, west of the
gravel road that is north of the ex-
isting DOL Complex and south of
Tank and Randolph Roads.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILEFY08 TRAPS RELOCATABLE BARRACKS, FORT SILL, OK | $50 MILLION
As the design partner to The Ross
Group, Cyntergy provided AE de-
sign and supporting data for the
construction and installation of
relocatable buildings (modular
barracks), five support buildings,
arms vault facilities, and related
site improvements on three sep-
arate sites at Fort Sill, Oklahoma.
The three sites contained the fol-
lowing components:
Site No. 1 — Basic Training Sets
• Eight 2-story barracks
buildings, 120 persons per
building, 12,588sf per building
• Two 2-story COF buildings,
8,869sf per building
• One 2-story Battalion (BN)
Headquarters Building,
17,982sf
• Six Arms Vaults: five 1-story
Arms Vaults, 200sf per building
& one 1-story Arms Vault, 480sf
Site No. 2 — Reception Sets
• Eight 2-story barracks
buildings, 120 persons per
building, 12,588sf per building
• Two 2-story buildings, COF
buildings,
9,030sf per
building
Site No. 3 —
Advanced
Infantry Training Sets
• Four 2-story buildings, 120
persons per building, 14,441sf
per building
The first site (7.2 acres) included do-
nating four existing modular hous-
ing units to a local school for the
use of classrooms with three of the
existing covered staging areas to
remain. The site layout minimized
the impact on existing utilities and
drainage patterns and existing utili-
ties were extended as needed.
Half of the second site (5.4 acres)
was a paved parking lot, which
was left in place, while the ten-
nis court, chain link fencing and
associated light poles were de-
molished. Minimal grading was
required and existing utilities were
extended as needed.
The third site (3.1 acres) was also
an existing parking lot, which was
left in place, and the existing utili-
ties extended as needed.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
The domestic water distribution
system and wastewater collection
system on Fort Sill are operated by
American Water Enterprises (AWE).
Cyntergy was contracted by AWE to
design the water and sanitary sew-
er line extensions for each site. Sites
1 and 2 required extensive coordi-
nation of the utility locations due to
the proximity of the buildings and
the limited space provided for the
site layout. Site 3 required a duplex
pump lift station and force main.
All sanitary sewer designs were ap-
proved by AWE and permitted by
ODEQ. The project was fast tracked,
so design, approvals and permit-
ting were a critical element in the
project schedule.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE QUINETTE CROSSING BRIDGE/CULVERT RENOVATION FORT SILL, OK | $1 MILLION
This design-build project consist-
ed of the bridge repair at Quinette
Crossing where Quinette Road
crosses Medicine Creek at Fort Sill,
Oklahoma. The existing channel
underneath the bridge did not
provide sufficient drainage caus-
ing overtopping of the bridge
deck during heavy rains. Fort Sill
police were forced to close the
bridge during these times to avoid
damage and/or harm to people
and property.
Cyntergy was asked to design a
reinforced concrete box culvert to
replace the low water crossing on
Medicine Creek as well as a new
vertical alignment of Quinette
Road in the vicinity of the new
culvert to ensure that flooding
would not create overtopping
of the bridge during heavy rains.
A structural analysis was per-
formed based on the new loading
requirements for the new box cul-
vert and based on this analysis, the
new culvert and connecting road-
way is now capable of supporting
all vehicle loads that are used at
Fort Sill in the project vicinity per
the American Association of State
Highway and Transportation Offi-
cials vehicle tables.

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE HANGAR 723 RENOVATION, FORT RILEY, KS | $3 MILLION
Cyntergy provided AE services on
this design-build project consisting
of the renovation of historic Han-
gar 723, located on the Marshal
Army Airfield runway, and used in
the maintenance of fueled aircraft,
with the largest being the CH-47
Chinook Helicopter. In addition
to the hangar building, originally
constructed in the early 1960s, the
project also included storage build-
ings and asphalt pavement.
Eligible for the National Register
of Historic Places, this 21,000sf
renovation project required SHPO
review and coordination and con-
sisted of upgrading the mechani-
cal, electrical and fire protection
systems to new, fully functioning
systems, including a state-of-the-
art communication system in-
stalled throughout.
Additional work included the ren-
ovation of: doors/frames/hard-
ware, painting, flooring, concrete,
masonry, structural steel, rough
carpentry, finish carpentry, case-
work, roofing, aluminum windows,
toilet accessories and miscella-
neous joint sealants.
Utility work included demolition
and replacement of domestic
water lines, plumbing, mechan-
ical and electrical systems. Also
included Installation of a new gas
meter and two fire hydrants. The
fire sprinkler systems were de-
molished and new complete, fire
alarm, mass notification and sprin-
kler systems were provided.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS, FORT RILEY, KS | $2 MILLION
Cyntergy designed two round-
about intersections to meet
unique vehicular demands at Fort
Riley Army Base. The scope includ-
ed analyzing conceptual designs
and traffic reports, then prepar-
ing construction plans and spec-
ifications for each roundabout.
A unique aspect of this project
included designing the round-
abouts to allow for tank traffic,
which required design of special
pavement sections for the round-
about and elliptical shaping to al-
low tank traffic to flow through the
intersection.
The first is at the intersection of
Kitty/Estes and Appennines/Estes,
and the roundabout (traffic circle
interchange) optimizes traffic flow
and eliminated the need for stop
signs.
The second is at the intersection
of Apennines and Estes, which
required a unique approach
due to Apennines having two
lanes of one way traffic in the
southbound direction. Estes
required a temporary detour road
to complete construction of the
Apennines and Estes roundabout;
however, Kitty Road was kept open
to traffic throughout construction.
These traffic projects involved
underground and overhead util-
ity relocations or replacements;
a traffic control plan; geometric
plan and profiles as well as con-
struction phasing. Storm water was
addressed with the installation of
culverts and piping; traffic control
signs and warning devices were in-
stalled and sod used for permanent
erosion control for slopes and other
areas beyond the new pavement.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE NEW MILITARY WORKING DOG FACILITY
FORT RILEY, KS | $2.5 MILLION
Cyntergy provided AE services on
a New Military Working Dog Fa-
cility for Fort Riley in Kansas. This
7,670sf project included a new ad-
ministrative building for the train-
ers and handlers as well as a new
kennel area with 16 kennels.
The administration area provides
work space for one kennel mast
and 19 trainers and handlers. The
ultimate goal of this area was to
provide a professional, well orga-
nized space that created a sense of
pride in the work place. The kennel
area was built to accommodate
large breed dogs and designed as
a modular structure to allow for
future expansion of runs.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE CHILD DEVELOPMENT SERVICES FACILITY RENOVATION (DB) FORT RILEY, KS | $3 MILLION
Cyntergy supported the GC in the
renovation of this Child Develop-
ment Services Facility at Fort Riley,
which was last utilized as a youth
facility. This renovation provided
the necessary flexibility and safe
environment required to support
the goals and objectives of the
current Administrative Mission
supporting the Child Develop-
ment Center as well as the Child
Development Program at Fort
Riley.
The total 25,000sf renovation
(Phase I & II) was designed to be
inviting and flexible, while main-
taining a safe environment to
support the supervision, care, and
development of a maximum of
198 children of infant, pre-toddler,
toddler, pre-school and kindergar-
ten age level. The renovated facili-
ty’s design was intended to reflect
a more residential or homelike set-
ting rather than an institutional at-
mosphere, while maintaining both
functionality and security.
The reception desk in
the entry area serves as
the central control point
for checking in children,
receiving visitors, staff
entry, and the observa-
tion of corridors. Behind the re-
ception desk are security monitors
which scan all corridors, exits, se-
lected rooms or particular spaces
as well as the exterior. Child activ-
ity rooms were arranged for direct
access to the appropriate play area
without traveling through the
corridors and sized appropriately
to the proper age level and space
requirements. All activity rooms
include a child scaled toilet area
and hand washing stations (ex-
cept for infants), and general stor-
age for bulk items and supplies. In
the other child activity rooms are
food preparation areas, diaper-
ing stations (not in kindergarten
rooms) and adult sized toilet areas.
Multi-purpose/motor-music areas
were created for gross motor skills
activities to serve as additional ac-
tivity areas for any age group.
Space was also provided for the
offices of the Child and Youth
Services, Family Child Care staff,
Child Liaison Education Outreach
Services and Child Development
Center offices. Additional space
was included for a training/confer-
ence room, staff break room, men’s
and women’s rest rooms storage
space, laundry room, kitchen, as
well as mechanical, electrical, and
communication rooms. Accessi-
ble from the exterior are uncon-
ditioned storage rooms for play
equipment in the play areas.

building with fire pumps was de-
signed to support the new system.
Water pressure tests, preliminary
structural analysis, code/criteria
analysis, foam calculations and
overall floor plans, as well as con-
struction inspection services were
provided.
Cyntergy provided A1, A2, B and
C services on this ramp repair
project. The apron was sized to ac-
commodate 18 F16 aircraft park-
ing positions, plus an additional
four positions for the combined
mission area serving arm/disarm,
hung munitions and fire control
radar check facility functions. In
order to keep base operations
running, construction was phased
into two parts with a corrugated
metal barrier berm being con-
structed for protection to the civil-
ian side from any misfire of 20-mm
training bullets from the arm-dis-
arm area. In addition, a heavy-duty
pavement shoulder was designed
to be used as a temporary aircraft
by-pass during Phase I and anoth-
er for Phase II.
TYPE A1 SERVICES Cyntergy assisted OKANG in pro-
gramming the required spacial
layout for the ramp apron for a
specified amount of F16’s in order
to support the 138th’s Operation-
al Mission. Challenges included
coordination of specifications,
user requirements, construction
budget and Operational Mission
within the existing geographical
perimeters of the Base.
TYPE A2 SERVICESCyntergy also provided Type A2
design services to further develop
the apron parking concept into a
solid, well-defined site plan. This
required obtaining an engineer-
ing-level survey and a thorough
geotechnical investigation, in order
for the appropriate airspace clear-
ances, site geometry, project limits,
key grades, drainage and typical
pavement sections to be devel-
oped as well as new ramp lighting
designed to meet the new apron
configuration.
Coordination with the Tulsa Inter-
national Airport Authority (land
lease holder) and construction
phasing were required and enabled
preparation of appropriate material
quantities/cost estimates as well as
the construction schedule.
TYPE B SERVICESIncluded full engineering services
as follows:
The method for repairing/up-
grading the ramp required rub-
blizing the existing concrete and
transforming it into a high quality
granular base. Asphalt shoulders
were constructed around the new
apron and pavement consisted
of a heavy duty asphalt mix due
to the high tire pressure of F-16s.
To provide drainage for surface
infiltration and to partially lower
the water table, two 6-inch lines
of perforated under-drain were
installed. A barrier wall was built
using Metalith to protect the adja-
cent property against accidential
weapon discharge. Concrete peirs
for new light poles were designed
with wind loads based on wind
speeds of 90 mph. A total of six

Cyntergy provided Type A, B and
C services to renovate 5,000sf of
Building 320’s existing 21,000sf
and construct a 3,000sf addition.
Building 320 is vital to base oper-
ations as it houses the command
center and flight operations center
(including flight planning, debrief-
ing and all functions related to
pilot planning and safety) for the
entire base.
Cyntergy’s scope consisted of
renovating the Command Post
Operations Center, which included
enlarging an existing conference
room, re-configuring adjacent
offices and constructing a 3,000sf
addition, which allowed the sur-
vival equipment shop (life-safety)
to relocate. The new life-safety
area includes rooms to prepare

The design-build team of Downey
Contracting and Cyntergy was se-
lected for this T-9 Noise Suppres-
sor Support Facilities project with
Cyntergy providing architecture,
civil, structural and mechanical
engineering. The project is located
at the Tinker Aerospace Complex
on the southwest corner of the
base, which formerly housed a
General Motors assembly complex
acquired by Tinker AFB after the
facility was vacated.
The project included the design
and construction of two (four
planned) AF 32 T-9 Noise Sup-
pressor Support facilities, located
on the north and south sides of
the site and the infrastructure to
support all four T-9 test facilities.
The two middle test facilities will
be constructed, at a later date,
under a separate contract. A new
multi-function administration
building was included in this
scope and incorporated areas for:
offices, ADA rest room, small kitch-
en and break area, which also dou-
bles as a tornado shelter. Design
and construction of the 258sf ad-
ministration building included the
foundation, slab, tornado resistant
structure, electrical and mechan-
ical systems, communication and
several monitoring systems.
Site development included site
grading and drainage, pad prepa-
ration, access road to serve the T-9
buildings, administration building
and fuel unloading. Utility work
included domestic water lines and
fire suppression lines, industrial
waste and sanitary sewer lines,
storm water drainage, under-
ground power and communication
lines. The sanitary sewer system
required 3,500’ of 8” pipe to be ex-
tended to the site with the sanitary
sewer pipe running parallel along
a large storm drain pipe, which re-
quired meticulous field verification
to cross and maintain the appro-
priate slope of the sanitary sewer.
The sewer main extension was
approved through Tinker DPW and
permitted through ODEQ.

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B3225 REPAIR/RENOVATE BREATHING AIR SYSTEM
TINKER AFB, OK | $2.6 MILLION
The breathing air system in Build-
ing 3225 supplies fresh air for cor-
rosion control operations (paint
and de-painting) for Buildings
3225 and 3228, but was no longer
providing the necessary volume
to support simultaneous air re-
quirements for operations in both
buildings. The system was fre-
quently overburdened and went
down causing aircraft production
work stoppages and needed re-
dundancy to allow for unsched-
uled maintenance and repairs.
Under an ongoing relationship
with Cherokee CRC, Cyntergy pro-
vided architecture, structural, me-
chanical and electrical engineer-
ing under this task order, which
included Title I and Title II services
for the renovation of the breathing
air equipment, in order to main-
tain a constant air flow of 1600
CFM at 100 PSI. The equipment
renovated included air compres-
sors, purifiers, dryers, filters, fluid
cooling towers and piping.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B3001 BOILER PLANT UPDATES & REPAIRS TINKER AFB, OK | $6 MILLION
Cyntergy provided engineer-
ing services on the boiler plant
housed in Building 3001 at Tinker
AFB in three phases as described
below.
1) BOILER PLANT VALVE
REPLACEMENT
The objective was to provide a us-
able valve system to allow for flex-
ible operational capacity as well as
seamless system operation in the
event of a power outage.
The substandard valve system
was addressed with replace-
ment of a total of twelve valves
in various locations. This resulted
in an increased ability to close
off portions of the steam head-
er and isolate portions of the
steam delivery system in the
event that a portion of the sys-
tem needed to be taken down.
Three new electric limitorque ac-
tuators were connected into the
system utilizing existing electri-
cal circuits with a new 480v three
phase panelboard. A new emer-
gency circuit was fed from the
control panel via 250 amp circuit
breaker, and the existing feeders
to the limitorque valves were in-
tercepted and fed from the new
emergency panelboard and con-
trols to the existing UPS located in
the control room.
2) OC-ALC COOLING TOWER
FEED LINE
Given the importance of the cool-
ing tower to production, a backup
line to support a primary failure
was necessary to ensure system in-
tegrity. The existing 6” transit line
was 50 years old and had already
experienced two failures in the
previous two years. Additionally,
an electrical code violation was
addressed resulting in a low-volt-
age panel removal and relocation.
Design included providing a new
second water feed line to become
the primary line making the ex-
isting water feed line a backup.
Demolition consisted of removing
pavement, fencing and saw-cut-
ting the floor slab in Building 3316
to facilitate connection to the new
water line and gate valve reloca-
tion.
In Building 3316, a new 6” line was
connected to the existing system
with a new series of fittings and
new gate valve. The new tee and
valves allow for a simple switch
over to the older (newly designat-
ed) backup line in case of failure of
the new primary line. In addition, a
new manual injector was installed.
To solve the existing code viola-
tion and safety issues, an existing
stainless steel control enclosure
was relocated using caution not
to damage
the existing control/signal/power
components and conductors in-
stalled and/or terminated within
the enclosure prior to enclosure
relocation.
3) REPAIR OC-ALC FEED WATER
PUMPING & PIPING
This phase consisted of furnishing
a redundant system to allow for
flexible operational capacity as
well as seamless system operation
in the event of power outage. The
pump system was designed as
a flexible system utilizing multi-
ple pumps both VFD electric and
steam driven.
The existing feed water pumps,
along with concrete bases, were
removed and replaced with four
new skid mounted feed water
pumps: two electrically driven
and two steam turbine driven.
The project included a total of four
smaller pumps in order to comply
with the capacity requirements
of MIL-HDBK 1003-6, while also
allowing a turndown rate that
matched the low plant operation-
al demand during off peak times.
In the event that an electric out-
age occurs while running on the
electric pumps, a new backup
generator was installed, complete
with concrete foundation, in a
sound attenuated enclosure with
all associated fuel piping, exhaust
vent, and other utility connec-
tions.
Three existing concrete feed water
pump bases were removed, along
with some existing floor slab, to
allow for placement of the new
housing pad for the pump skids
and the isolation footing pad for
the new generator. The new skid
mounted pump housing pad as
well as the new generator pad
were raised 4” above the finished
floor, and new pads were con-
structed of steel reinforced case in
place concrete.
Energy Conservation
Considerations
The installation of two smaller VFD
style pumps greatly reduced the
amount of energy consumption
lost using the existing oversized
electric pumps, In addition, the
selection of two smaller, more effi-
cient steam driven pumps greatly
reduced the wasted steam and en-
ergy consumed by pumping and
bypassing more water than nec-
essary. Overall energy reduction
was estimated to be greater than
40 percent.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
SERVICES
The greatest challenge was that it
takes over 36 man hours to cold
start the boiler plant, resulting in
significant expense. Other than
the two pre-scheduled outages
in the Spring and Fall, the boiler
plant must be kept on line with full
seasonal redundancy. The longer
than normal duration of the proj-
ect was agreed upon, in order to
allow the two annual outages to
be utilized resulting in limited dis-
ruption of the system. Due to the
limited ability to take the system
off line, as well as the lead time
required to obtain the necessary
components, significant schedul-
ing was required throughout the
project.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B3234 MONORAIL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT, TINKER AFB, OK | $5 MILLION
Cyntergy provided AE design
services (Title I) on this project
(WWYK060045) as well as con-
struction support. Initial design
was performed for the TAFB CE
Group, while construction support
(Title II) was contracted and con-
ducted directly for the Tinker Res-ident Office of USACE-TD through
an East Breeze/Cyntergy IDIQ.
DESIGN PHASE SERVICES (TITLE I)
Included coordination with the
new monorail hoist system ven-
dor, analysis and design of struc-
tural reinforcement of existing
roof trusses and columns support-
ing the monorail system loadings
as well as electrical design for the
new electrical demands.
Cyntergy’s SOW included upgrade
of the building structural system
to support a new monorail system
of greater capacity; design of the
monorail system, whereby ven-
dor requirements were generic,
in order to allow multiple vendor
“The overall success of the monorail project is directly attributed to Cyntergy AEC’s professional teaming skills
and talented multidiscipline engineering staff.”

opportunities; interface and con-
tinuation of design once selected
vendor was under contract, since
vendor requirements and system
are proprietary; electrical system
upgrade; test cell doors and seals
upgrade to accommodate the
new configuration; and new hoist
trains/trolleys.
The greatest challenge was keep-
ing this mission critical function
fully operational during repair and
upgrade with the added challenge
that not all test cells serve all en-
gine types. Cyntergy served as
coordinating agent between the
Using Agency, Tinker BCE, Tinker
Contracting and USACE providing
phasing requirements and plans
during the design phase, which
assisted contracting and potential
bidders in understanding how the
sequence of construction was to
be accomplished, in order to en-
sure this critical function stayed in
operation at all times.
Under separate contract (East
Breeze/Cyntergy IDIQ), Cyntergy
also supplied Title II services.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE
SERVICES (TITLE II)
Construction services included
site visits to observe installation
of components and verification of
construction satisfying the intent
of design documents, modifi-
cations to initial designs due to
constructability issues, availability
of materials, phasing of construc-
tion and coordination with new
monorail support systems. Due to
the uniqueness of the monorail
system, as well as vendor’s product
and installation
preferences, addi-
tional coordination
of design and
detailing were
required.
QA was an integral
part of this phase,
ensuring the system
and its requirements
interfaced with building com-
ponents and user requirements.
Schedule tracking, monitoring and
compliance analysis as well as close
attention to construction phasing
was necessary, in order to elimi-
nate downtime of critical test cells
unique to testing mission critical jet
engines.
Contractor questions and procure-
ment/monorail vendor require-
ments were a priority, in order to
ensure the project progressed as
needed making submittal reviews,
RFI’s and on site observations a
high priority.
Building 2280 is used to paint mil-
itary aircraft and its functions are
highly secure and mission critical
to the base—this facility supports
one of the largest breathing air
systems in the Air Force. In order to
meet current and future increas-
es in capacity and performance
demands of the facility’s opera-
tions, Cyntergy designed a full
replacement breathing air system
upgrading it to a more fully oper-
ational system capable of support-
ing 80 users at 20 CFM per user for
a total of 1600 CFM.
Cyntergy’s innovative solution in-
cluded constructing a penthouse
structure over an existing annex to
house all new components, thus
avoiding costly temporary service
and ensuring system operations
before switch over.
System design of all mechanical/
plumbing modifications consist-
ed of process replacement of all
major system components and
included capacity for additional
air-compressor installation for re-
dundancy when required. Major
elements included the breathing
air equipment, cooling equip-
ment, ventilation for the equip-
ment room and replacement
HVAC equipment for the annex’s
existing roof mounted system. All
plumbing, sewer design and tie in
were also elements of the project.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B2280 BREATHING SYSTEM RENOVATION, PHASES I & IITINKER AFB, OK | $6.2 MILLION
One of the greatest challenges in-
volved the functions of this facility
being highly secure and mission
critical to the base; thus, requiring
the facility to remain operational
during construction. The breath-
ing air replacement was accom-
plished by two separate projects.
The initial project provided all
the new stainless steel piping
throughout the facility, while
the support equipment such
as air compressors, receivers/
accumulators, dryers, filters,
etc. remained in place. Once
the new stainless steel piping
was confirmed operational,
transfer to the new piping was
made overnight bringing on
board the new required piping
only. At this point, there was
no redundancy and the exist-
ing equipment was still under-
sized and outdated.
The second project replaced
all equipment serving the
breathing air piping system, while
providing the required redundan-
cy and was accomplished in two
phases. Phase one consisted of the
complete construction, testing,
commissioning and acceptance
of the new mechanical room and
equipment as well as the tie in to
the existing stainless steel piping
provided in the first project. Phase
two consisted of de-commission-
ing and demolition of the existing
breathing air equipment which
remained for the first project. Cyn-
tergy’s unique solution eliminat-
ed the costly need for providing
temporary breathing air systems,
while constructing the new sys-
tem. The result saved the Govern-
ment over $1 million.
Cyntergy provided architecture
and engineering services on this
design-build project, which con-
sisted of new construction as well
as repair and renovation. The ob-
jective was to upgrade this facility
to current base standards, in order
to “re-purpose” the building by re-
moving the current engine repair
operations and relocating mobili-
ty functions into the building. The
full scope of work included:
NEW CONSTRUCTION
• 3,000sf munitions vault with
reinforced concrete walls,
ceiling & floor as well as
hardened steel security door
> Included new lighting,
HVAC, humidity control, fire
protection & security alarm
• Fire pump room & installation
of fire pump meeting all code

REPAIR & RENOVATION
• Secure mobility bag issuing
center requiring demolition
of existing security caging,
installation of new security
caging & issuing stations
• Total demolition of two office
areas & partial demolition of
one office area
• Construction & renovation
in the three areas to include
restrooms, lighting, HVAC
units, fire sprinkler systems,
plumbing fixtures, finishes,
electrical upgrades & motion
sensor lighting
• High output sprinkler system
& new lighting under building
mezzanine
• New security caging in
multiple areas
• New warehouse exterior doors
& hardware
• Relocation of communication
closet, extension of conduit
drops for phone & LAN lines
& extension of alarm circuits
from newly installed fire pump
Cyntergy’s scope consisted of re-
modeling several interior areas in-
cluding the: “lean to” administrative
office areas and bathrooms, north-
east administrative office area,
north administrative office area,
restrooms and break area; northern
and southern portions of the high
bay area, including a new mezza-
nine and low bay storage areas.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE B260 REPAIR/RENOVATE MOBILITY ASSET STORAGE AREA (DB)TINKER AFB, OK | $3 MILLION
Runway 12/30, at the intersections
of three taxiways and the ramp to
the 507th maintenance area, was
the focus of this project. Some
of the runway slabs had scaled,
cracked and spalled to the point
that they could not be repaired ad-
equately to prevent foreign object
damage. It was an additional desire
of the base to widen the keel from
50 to a minimum of 75 feet. The
scope of this project was to design
the replacement for an extensive
area of the midfield slabs, widen
the keel and replace the asphalt
areas with concrete around the
taxiway horns where they intersect
the runway. Repair design was full
depth, including concrete, aggre-
gate base and stabilized subgrade.
The 507th tanker fleet is consid-
ered to be “Militarily Significant”
by the base, so work had to be ac-
complished quickly so the runway,
taxiways and 507th access was
disrupted as little as possible. As
part of the design service, Cyntergy
determined the feasibility of a con-
crete batch plant on site to reduce
concrete delivery time and provide
flexibility in scheduling work. Ad-
ditionally, the design of temporary
ramps to be utilized during con-
struction were provided.
The greatest challenge was keep-
ing this mission critical function
fully operational during repair
and upgrade. Access to the 507th
apron had to be maintained
during all phases of construction.
Cyntergy provided phasing re-
quirements and plans during the
design phase of the project, which
assisted Contracting and the po-
tential bidders in understanding
how the sequence of construction
was to be accomplished.
Construction services included pe-
riodic site visits to observe instal-
lation of components and verifica-
tion of construction satisfying the
intent of the design documents,
modifications to initial designs
due to constructability issues,
availability of materials and phas-
ing of construction.

with a two-tone brick veneer and
EIFS. Horizontal metal wall panels
and sunshades help provide scale
as well as a modern appeal.
This facility was designed to meet
LEED Silver certification.
Civil site design included utilities
(water, sewer, gas), pavement, 277
parking spaces—77 spaces for
visitors and fuel efficient vehicles
in front and two 100 space lots on
each side of the facility for employ-
ees as well as traffic circulation,
pedestrian wayfinding and AT/
FP measures. The AT/FP measures
included emergency vehicle ac-
cess, swing gates with removable
bollards as well as keypad access
and a motorized gate for large
deliveries.
Each parking lot was situated with
an essential landscape median to
capture storm water and parking
lot surface runoff known as low
impact development (LID) areas.
The LID filters the water through a
special landscape soil mixture and
reduces pollution downstream.
Also included was an outside
wellness area that incorporated
a walking trail, benches, native
grasses as well as other indige-
nous landscaping.

CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE C-17 FLIGHT SIMULATOR BAY MODIFICATIONS, ALTUS AFB, OK | >$1 MILLION
Altus Air Force Base is the bed-down for C-5, C-17, and C-131 flight training facilities; and Build-ing 89, located in the northeast portion of the base, houses the most current flight simulators be-ing used by the Air Force to train pilots and flight engineers. The scope of this project included preparation of a vacant trainer bay for the installation of a new C-17 flight simulator and load master trainer.
To prepare for the design, Cynter-gy met with representatives from the base, Boeing and Air Force, in order to apply the facility criteria as defined by Boeing, while mak-ing it work within the constraints of the existing building envelope.
The exterior of the facility was modified to allow for an expan-sion of two separate hydraulic pump rooms into one to allow for more efficient use of the space and to alleviate over crowding of
the equipment. The interior work included the modification of an existing computer room to allow for the installation of a load mas-ter trainer. This trainer is used to simulate load delivery by the rear of the C-17 plane. It is intercon-nected with the flight simulator, so the pilot can make adjustments to the flight as deliveries are exited from the plane. The flight simula-
tor bay was modified structurally by the addition of three concrete piers and pier cap designed to withstand the forces applied by the trainer.
CYNTERGY | GOVERNMENT PROJECT PROFILE C-17 AIRCRAFT TRAINING FACILITY MODIFICATION (DB)ALTUS AFB, OK | >$1 MILLION
Cyntergy provided full design
services on this project, which re-
quired the design and renovation
of an existing simulator bay for
a new C-17 simulator. The new
simulator placed significant addi-
tional loads on the foundation of
the building requiring the existing
foundation to be retrofitted with
new angled drilled piers. Drilling
piers inside an existing facility is
a challenge, but since The Ross
Group/Cyntergy Team had com-
pleted the same type of project
previously, a plan was already in
place to manage the work.
The new challenge faced on this
particular project included the
protection of the simulator in-
stalled the previous year. Simulator
screens are extremely sensitive to
dust and can be ruined by a mini-
mal amount. Completing a reno-
vation project in the same space as
an operational simulator involved
cutting concrete, installing sheet-
rock, sanding, and painting and
required special attention to dust
control. To achieve adequate dust
control, The Ross Group created a
negative pressure environment for
the project area and constructed a
floor to deck partition to prevent
dust migration. This allowed the
existing simulator to remain in
service and unharmed during the
construction project.
