The Iowa Army Ammunition Plant is planning to construct a new Tool and Die Facility aimed at enhancing worker safety, operational efficiency, and overall capabilities in munitions production. The facility, approximately 59,000 square feet, will utilize modern construction methods and comply with Department of Defense standards, including energy efficiency requirements outlined in the ASHRAE guidelines. The design emphasizes sustainability, targeting a LEED Silver certification and integrating standards for safety, structural integrity, and environmental consciousness. Project specifications cover site planning, water supply, wastewater management, structural considerations, fire protection, and security compliance. Additionally, the construction will adhere to architectural and mechanical design criteria that promote a functional and aesthetically pleasing workplace. The project aligns with federal mandates for resilient infrastructure development while ensuring minimal disruption and effective resource allocation during construction. This initiative represents a significant investment by the Department of Defense in improving its operational facilities within the Iowa Army Ammunition Plant.
