Best Project, Specialty Construction: Vulcan Centaur Infrastructure Activations
Many construction projects have challenging site conditions and stringent specifications to meet, but few require actual rocket science. The Vulcan Centaur Infrastructure Activations project had to renovate an active rocket launch pad between 16 launches that cost an average $225 million each, requiring intensive coordination and collaboration.
Judges remarked on the project’s successful navigation of the 16 rocket launches and the sheer magnitude of the project—featuring a $190-million construction cost—which logged more than 810,000 total worker hours with no lost-time accidents and an OSHA recordable incident rate of 1.11.
