Though W.M. Jordan Co. had no opportunity for preconstruction services or constructibility analysis on the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Langley Research Center Measurement Systems Lab project, the team found ways to save millions of dollars while also enabling the agency to add scope to the project. The $102-million project, which broke ground in February 2017, was designed and procured under a design-bid-build project delivery.
The 175,000-sq-ft research facility for developing measurement concepts, technologies and systems enables NASA to achieve its missions in space exploration, science and aeronautics, the agency says.
