Alternative Construction Methods

Delivering scalable, rapidly deployable infrastructure solutions that support mission success anywhere in the world.

Construction That Moves at the Speed of the Mission

 

When timelines are tight and environments are unpredictable, traditional construction isn’t always the answer. That’s where Alternative Construction Methods (ACM) come in.
 

ADS connects proven construction technologies with real-world operational needs—delivering facilities, protection systems, and infrastructure that can be deployed faster, scaled easier, and built to perform in the environments that matter most.
 

From modular facilities to aircraft protection systems, we help warfighters and first responders get what they need—when and where they need it.

CHALLENGE

Air Force OO-ALC requires the purchase and installation of Pre-Engineered Panelized Metal Relocatable Buildings (PPMRB) for aircraft maintenance at Hill Air Force Base, Ogden, Utah. Facility will provide critically needed Maintenance Facilities for F-16 aircraft.

SOLUTION

ADS working with Dogwood Industries and Navigator International delivers 124,320 SF of maintenance space through the delivery of two (2) 130’ x 420’ (54,600 SF) hangar facilities connected by a 36’ x 420’ center connector corridor. Each hangar includes a modular support structure for admin and support. Each TAMS includes 8 maintenance bays with interior fall arrest systems with the ability to accommodate two F-16 aircraft per maintenance bay.
