Accura is performing architectural and engineering design as well as construction management and inspection services at the facility, which has more than 250 buildings on a campus encompassing approximately 1840 acres with 4,500,000 of total square footage of all buildings. Of that total, Accura provided service to 3,400,000 SF of building space. The facilities include highly specialized laboratories, advanced propulsion/payload test facilities, engine test facilities, structural test facilities, vacuum chambers, wind tunnels, and office buildings. Accura is the only on-site contractor at the facility providing design, commissioning and construction phase services. In addition to the projects designed by Accura, all facilities under construction or renovation are being inspected by our team. Construction Value: $157M
Precision, Expertise, and Impact in Action
Our Role in the Mission
Accura played a key role in wetlands delineation, permitting, and environmental surveys to facilitate the repair and expansion of water and wastewater infrastructure. Our comprehensive approach included:
Conducting on-site investigations to assess environmental impact.
Preparing detailed permit applications for:
- Stream stabilization/restoration across three critical water bodies&
- The repair, replacement, and construction of new water and wastewater pipelines, including stream and wetland crossings.
Surveying threatened and endangered species, including the rare small whorled pogonia and wood turtle.
Modifying existing permits to meet updated compliance needs.
Challenges We Overcame
The Impact
Our work not only ensured compliance but also played a part in protecting the delicate ecosystem of Fort Belvoir. From securing permits to restoring streams, we enabled the U.S. Army to move forward with confidence, knowing their construction efforts align with their commitment to environmental stewardship.
