Excellent Work in the Building Project Category
New Project of the Duty Dormitory for the Second Corps, National Airborne Service Corps, Ministry of the Interior
I. Project Overview
The base of the Second Corps, National Airborne Service Corps, Ministry of the Interior at Shuinan Airport had to be relocated to Taichung International Airport because of the shutdown of Shuinan Airport in March 2004. The original land was expropriated and developed to be the Shuinan Economic and Trade Park by the Taichung City Government. This project will provide an exclusive base and a comfortable lodging environment for the Second Corps. There will be new office spaces and convenient logistic routes form the novel exclusive maintenance and repair site for disaster rescue equipment (UH-60M).
II. Innovation, Challenges, and Thoroughness of the Project 1. Innovation a. Perforated plate curved wings + red horizontal grille for the duty building.
b. Duty building, standby building, and hangar building connected to one another through a high-range overhead bridge.
c. Three-point suspension crane with a 40 m large span weighing 10 tons for the hangar building.
d. Anti-typhoon rigid sliding door with a width of 65.4 m for the hangar building.
e. First non-military helicopter washing equipment.
f. Hangar-exclusive high expansion foam firefighting equipment.
2. Challenges a. Security program restrictions for airport construction.
b. Soil and water conservation and interfacing with adjacent land.
c. Large-span steel member construction sequence reflection.
d. Two-step construction for the RC structure of the hangar building.
e. Three emergency backup power sources for the sliding door of the hangar building.
3. Thoroughness
a. One apron with three parking points and one aircraft washing space with five parking points in total for various models of aircrafts of the National Airborne Service Corps.
