NAVFAC Quantico Marine Corp Base Officer’s Candidate School (OCS) Parade Deck in Quantico, Virginia
General Synopsis
Meltech completed this important project for the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington at the Quantico Marine Corp Base in Quantico, Virginia for the renovations and repairs to the reviewing stand at the Officer’s Candidate School (OCS) Parade Deck.
The Officer’s Candidate School (OCS) reviewing stand is the centerpiece for all training company graduations, drill competitions, retirements, VIP visits and numerous other special engagements that occur often aboard Brown Field. Senators, congressmen, cabinet level officials, interagency officials, foreign dignitaries, various VIPs, and family members from all over the United States, either experience the reviewing stand during graduation ceremonies or at least see it during official visits.
The current OCS parade deck reviewing stand consisted of a carpet covered concrete pad with a leaking roof, basically a carport, which was neither elegant nor accommodating and does not represent OCS, nor the Marine Corps, in a professional light. The renovations completed were to better accommodate OCS guests with increased overhead coverage, flowing aisle ways and reception areas; facilitate ceremonies with greater functionality and appearance; and reduce manpower requirements with its permanence.
Meltech completed selective demolition, architectural, civil, structural and electrical work to complete this important project.
