Buildings 670, 169 renovations on track Published March 23, 2012 By Jeny Gordon 78th Air Base Wing Public Affairs ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- The renovation project inside Bldg. 670 which began in late February is progressing, with estimated completion by the end of April. "You can really tell employees appreciate taking the time and effort required to help get their facility to look and feel like a top-notch facility," said Jeremy Wood, 573rd Commodities Maintenance Squad-ron's Sheet Metal Manufacturing Flight deputy director. Just to give you an idea of the things happening over on Laundry Drive, floor resurfacing work will be completed this week. Also, the building's entire production area is being painted, including walls, floors and ceilings. There will also be new personal protective equipment locker rooms for employees and a separate locker room for personnel's equipment, similar to what was constructed in Bldg. 169. The women's and men's bathrooms will also be remodeled, with the addition of new plumbing, sinks, showers and more. A production and information board will also be created for use during briefings, to include current work being accomplished, and information on Occupational Safety and Health Administration and Voluntary Protection Program. New furniture will be added in a few offices. Building 169, home to the 574th Composite Repair Flight, is getting a new roof and siding. The contract was awarded in October 2010 and is expected to be completed in October, according to George Pierce, 574th CRF director. As different phases of work are completed, a containment process will be ongoing to ensure contaminants from old roofing materials are captured. That will allow production to continue and keep workers safe throughout the building's estimated 146,000 square feet of space, said Pierce.
