PA Army National Guard / PA Department of General Services / Department of Military and Veterans Affairs
This project included construction of new Readiness Center/Armory on 12 acres of Department of Military and Veteran’s Affairs (DMVA) land.
Phase 1 included a schematic design/engineering. Phase 2 – site design and construction documents – was awarded to Keller Engineers as part of a Design-Build Contract.
The Design-Build contract included design that evolved as construction documents were being finished through negotiations with the DMVA and negotiations with adjacent property owner to obtain easements for connection to sanitary sewer and potable water supply.
We have worked with Keller Engineers for structural and civil engineering support on six projects over the past five years and have been very pleased with the results. Our projects tend to be complicated phased renovation/ addition projects calling for creativity in planning and construction. I have been particularity pleased with their responsiveness to issues that arise during construction which is of particular importance to us and our clients. Vern L.
