Dry Dock Repair Planning Study

The Naval Facilities Engineering Command in Jacksonville, Florida is performing a planning study for the critical repairs of a dry dock at their submarine maintenance facility at the King’s Bay, Georgia Submarine Base.

The scope of the repair work includes among other items, structural steel recoating and repairs, concrete repairs, upgrades to the power distribution systems, replacement of the pumping system and main dock doors that fill and empty the dry dock, replacement of the Auxiliary Seawater System, renovation of the chilled water system, upgrading of the firefighting system and refurbishment of the bridge cranes.

The preliminary construction costs for the repairs are estimated to be $140,000,000 and must be performed within a critical 12 month window of time to facilitate the maintenance of the U.S. Navy’s submarines.

Warner has been engaged by Hanscomb to develop a fully detailed, resource loaded, Primavera P6 feasibility schedule, using 24 hour per day, seven (7) days per week, multi-shift, and reduced four (4) days per year holiday calendar to help the NAVFAC determine the feasibility of performing the planned work in the limited time frame.

Two of Warner’s recent projects were featured in ENR’s September 17, 2018 edition.

301 M Street, SW

The 301 M Street project consists of two new residential buildings, a completely renovated and energized streetscape that widens and restores the existing sidewalks, and two underground parking garages. The new residential buildings will compliment and redevelop part of the site of the I.M. Pei Towers, which were developed in the 1960’s and are designated as historic landmarks. The new buildings will house approximately 200 units and add to the rich architectural diversity of the Southwest Quadrant of Washington, DC.

Warner will provide scheduling support services to include a review of the status of the project to date, including the general contractor’s baseline schedule and recent monthly updates, and monitoring of the progress of the work and the general contractor’s future monthly schedule updates.

Trove Residential

Washington Real Estate Investment Trust is developing a three building, 401 multi-family residential unit project to a large existing complex in Arlington’s Columbia Pike corridor. The Trove is being constructed on 3.5 acres at what is currently The Wellington, a 711-unit complex at 1850 Columbia Pike. The buildings are all six-story wood framed construction on cast-in-place concrete foundation and parking structure.

Warner has been engaged, initially by Hanscomb Consultants for WashREIT, and then directly by WashREIT, to provide schedule consulting services including review and reporting on the Contractor’s monthly CPM schedule updates performance against forecast and to review the Contractor’s submission for time extension (TIA’s – Time Impact Analyses) for validation and recommendations. These include review and reporting on Contractor asserted impacts and delays attributable to inclement weather and other allegedly unforeseen site impacts.

Wheaton Revitalization Project

The Wheaton Revitalization Project is a mixed-use development established to improve mobility, increase Wheaton Metro Station use, reduce traffic congestion, increase the diversity of employment opportunities, as well as diminishing negative environmental impact. The Project will provide a Government office building, below ground parking garage, and a town square as part of the Revitalization Strategy for the area. The project is a twelve story building, 309,000 square feet of office space, a 35,000 square feet town square, 10,000 square feet of retail and 397 spaces of underground parking.

Warner has been engaged by the project’s Developer, StonebridgeCarras, to provide full time onsite project management to assist its project team with oversight of the building’s foundation and substructure construction phase. The nature of the existing subterranean conditions along with substructure design elements, in combination with the Developer’s Public/Government Partner, demands strict planning, execution, and compliance with high-quality standards and time of performance. Warner’s role is to support and assist the Client to ensure the Contractor’s establishment, implementation, and execution of a plan to meet the significant demands of this phase of the Project. Warner will also provide support, experience, and expertise in ensuring proper communication and coordination among the multiple project stakeholders – including third party inspection professionals that help ensure technical and quality compliance with design and industry best practice.

Children's Inn at NIH Dinner

The Warner Team had the privilege of providing and serving dinner to the families at the Children's Inn at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland.  While NIH takes care of the children’s medical needs, the Children’s Inn cares of their social and emotional needs.  The Inn is a "safe haven," where sick children, along with their parents and siblings, can all stay together after long days of treatment and procedures - a home, away from home. 

For many children, NIH is their best hope for successful treatment, and all too often it‘s their last hope for a cure.  Many families travel from all over the world because conventional treatments have failed.  The high cost of room and board that piles up while a child is undergoing a lengthy treatment can be an unbearable burden, so the Children’s Inn provides a place where families can stay, together, while volunteer organizations take turns providing and serving lunches and dinners.

Warner, working with Moby Dick Catering, provided dinner to the residents of the Children’s Inn, allowing for food allergies and nutrition sensitivities. We also had fun making home made cookies - including gluten free!  The Warner volunteers were blessed beyond measure to have the opportunity to meet with and serve the special families at the Children's Inn.

Our hearts go out to the good people affected by the storm who will suffer for months, if not years. Some have lost their lives; many have lost their homes and all their possessions.
