ModSpace completed installation of 12 custom buildings in just 124 days at Fort Knox, Ky. BERWYN, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modular Space Corporation (ModSpace(R)) and its strategic partner, Alutiiq, LLC, were awarded an overall rating of "outstanding" from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District, for the final performance evaluation of the successful completion of a major installation project at Fort Knox. "Outstanding" is the highest possible rating given for construction project evaluations from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Fort Knox installation project helped meet the U.S. Army's emergency need to grow its efforts at the post and accommodate almost 1,000 new soldiers. ModSpace and Alutiiq worked closely with the post to design a customized modular solution that would deliver more than 100,000 square feet of temporary space. In 124 days after breaking ground, they provided the post with four two-story barracks, four administrative offices, and six classrooms. As a result, the post has increased its ability to meet housing and training initiatives. The ModSpace project team achieved an outstanding rating for the Fort Knox project while overcoming many project challenges. "We had significant challenges with the schedule and funding constraints within the budget," says Viril Heinselmann, a project team member with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Louisville District. "Through the combined efforts of the project delivery team—including the contractors involved, Alutiiq and ModSpace—as well as the site development subcontractor, we were all able to achieve project success." The quick installation of the new facilities at Fort Knox has helped the Army attain a "modularity" concept, the new and more effective fighting force recently initiated by the Army. Modular construction helps the military meet its needs in a timely fashion, giving them the flexibility to reconfigure or adapt to different uses in the future.
