AMARG requires a turnkey blast booth system for Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE) to be integrated into a new, expandable Pre-Engineered Metal Building (PEMB) at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. The project includes a plastic media blast booth, support equipment, and facilities, with a separate Maintenance Operations Area (MX Ops) for future expansion. The design must prioritize Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) items, comply with all federal, state, and local regulations, and adhere to strict cybersecurity and safety standards. Key requirements include specific dimensions for the blast booth (20ft H x 20ft W x 40ft D), climate control, noise reduction, and a full-floor media recovery system. The project also details site preparations, utility provisions, and comprehensive design, testing, and training protocols.
