Third Brigade Barracks Complex: Phase I & II and Phase III







	The Third Brigade Barracks Complex, Phase I & II and Phase III were two separate projects built adjacent to each other to form a new community for the Third Brigade soldiers. The community includes three barracks buildings, three company operations buildings, a dining facility, brigade headquarters and a small HHC operations building. The project site was an existing barracks complex, which required asbestos removal and building demolition prior to new construction. Phase III required temporary heating, cooling and hot water services—as demolition of Phase I & II buildings eliminated these services from several Phase III buildings. In addition to the site restrictions, the project was also complicated by its location in the middle of operating barracks, vehicle maintenance shops and other buildings—all of which had communication lines and water lines running through the barracks site. These jobs required a great cooperative effort between the contractor, subcontractors, the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers and Base Personnel. The project was completed four months early despite a late start due to a multitude of reasons—one of which was the discovery of an existing sinkhole on the site. The Louisville District of the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers awarded the project an Outstanding Performance Evaluation. Bill Harbert International Construction, Inc. (BHIC) was the contractor of record for the project. In January 2000 all employees of BHIC became employees of B.L. Harbert International (BLHI). The management and supervisory teams now employed by BLHI constructed the project.
