The event will: Present upcoming project requirements and anticipated milestones.

Facilitate Q&A sessions to address technical, schedule, and procurement questions. Promote networking between industry representatives and the USACE Hill Team. Provide a tour of the Plating Shop.

Key USACE Staff Available: Project Manager, Technical Lead, Discipline Design Leads, Environmental Leads, and Contracting Officers. Project Overview The Plating Shop Renovation project will modernize and expand existing facilities located in Building 505 (B505) and Building 507 (B507) at Hill AFB, Utah, ensuring continued depot-level maintenance capability for multiple aircraft platforms.

The renovation addresses compliance with OSHA and environmental standards, enhances safety and ergonomics, improves energy efficiency, reduces maintenance costs, and provides a robust, modernized facility to ensure reliable aircraft part finishing in support of Air Force readiness. The project includes both the comprehensive renovation of 20,000 square feet of existing shop space and the construction of a new 2,800-square-foot Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) to accommodate expanded operations. Renovation – Building 505/507 (20,000 SF)

Structural Upgrades: Reinforce basement slabs, footings, and CMU walls. Replace structural platforms, columns, and grating for plating tanks. Modify roof structure to support overhead cranes.

Mechanical & Process Systems: Replace HVAC and ventilation systems for chemical processes and fume exhaust. Refurbish chemical-resistant coatings on floors, walls, and ceilings.

Electrical & Controls: Upgrade panelboards, busways, circuits, instrumentation, and lighting to support automated, traceable plating operations.

Fire & Life Safety: Install updated fire suppression systems, emergency eyewash/shower stations, and life safety signage.

Key Plating Processes: Electroless Nickel Cadmium Plating Chrome and High Velocity Oxygen Fuel (HVOF) Strip Chrome Plating Anodize / Alodine (Type II & III) Zinc Nickel Plating Nickel Sulfamate Plating Phosphate / Temper Etch / Passivate Aluminum Conversion Coat Titanium Pickle Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) Aqueous Degrease / Future Lines New Construction – Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) (2,800 SF) Constructed adjacent to Building 505 to accommodate ovens that extend beyond the building footprint.

Design Features: Insulated steel panels, standing seam metal roof, polyisocyanurate insulation, snow guards.

Basement & Platforms: Cast-in-place basement, equipment platforms, steel stairs, service utility routing.
