Syska Hennessy Group, as part of a joint venture with AICI and
Archirodon (ASA), was awarded a task order to perform operations
and maintenance services at the Fayed Air Base in Egypt.
The task order is to maintain facilities built by the US
Army Corps of Engineers as part of the Peace
Vector VI program, emanating from the Camp David Peace Accords.
Syska has assumed the lead role in this task order and is
responsible to meet the client requirements of operating
and maintaining the facility in on a 24/7 basis.
Syska is charged with operating and maintaining 26 buildings,
plus the following specialty facilities:
- Standby Power Plant
- Water Treatment Plant
- Waste Water Treatment Plant
- Air Field Lighting System
- Kitchen and Dining Hall Equipment
Led by Syska, ASA quickly mobilized to commence our O&M activities. Syska
was able to supply Expat personnel on site in Egypt with ten days
of the award. Full mobilization was complete within 37 days
of award despite the complexities of arranging base passes for
a foreign military and supplying labor in a relatively remote region
of the country.
What differentiates this task order from regular O&M task
orders is the requirement to train Egyptian Air Force personnel
in performing the O&M tasks themselves. Syska has commenced
a training and personnel evaluation program, which shall become
more rigorous as time goes on.
At this point in the task order, we are assisting the Egyptian
Air Force and US Army COE in resolving warranty and construction
defect issues. Additionally, we are ramping up our training
program to increase the EAF’s role in the facility O&M
process. |
