Facchina Construction Company recently completed a prime contract with the Army Corps of Engineers for improvements to the gate on MD Rt. 715 at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in Aberdeen MD.  This project included major upgrades to the main entrance to the post. The existing gate and related facilities have become inadequate for the anticipated additional flow of traffic due to BRAC. 

Facchina’s scope included all work necessary to relocate and upgrade this facility.  Significant upgrades to the security system were installed including video monitoring, notification systems, and an active vehicular barrier.  The project involved six new buildings; ID Check Canopy, Gatehouse, Search Office, Search Canopy, Overwatch, and Visitor Control Center.  Additional underground electrical distribution was installed in support of the new C4ISR campus currently under construction.
