Mission Critical	Back To Top
Verizon Communications Verizon Communications South - Renovations Y2K Assistance, New York, NY Program Management Verizon asked Gilbane to complete mechanical and electrical system upgrades in 868 buildings in 14 states, with only 18 weeks in the schedule. The work included 109 fire-alarm-system upgrades; 497 HVAC control system upgrades; testing of 713 additional control systems; and repair or replacement of 315 other pieces of equipment. The buildings involved were all mission critical -- that is, they were buildings where telephone-switching and data services originate to provide telephone services to the northern half of the East Coast. Our efforts enabled Verizon to meet commitments made to Federal regulators to have all mission critical facilities ready by June 30, 1999. The second phase, included getting all of the support facilities into compliance by September 30, 1999. ("Compliance" means that every building system, controller, power device, elevator, alarm panel, etc., can handle two- and four-digit versions of "2000" and correctly recognizes that the year 2000 is a leap year.) There were zero defaults on 1/1/2000. Verizon Communications Verizon Communications Strategic Alliance, New York, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, NY Program Management In late 1995, Verizon entered into a strategic alliance with Gilbane, providing a full scope of outsourced construction management services. The focus is to assist in Verizon’s strategic direction to re-engineer their office configuration and outsource all of their non-core business activities. The initial program calls for an annual capital budget of $50 million in three work categories: building infrastructure improvements; tenant improvements; and “network” room modifications (preparing space for phone switching equipment). The project is structured in six geographic areas in the New England area. Early in the project design phase, client expectations were identified and Gilbane incorporated our standard practices into the Verizon Communication’s culture. Due to the diverse geographic area of the projects, a WAN (wide area network) was installed to ease the reporting systems of such a diverse project. The project management area oversees a core accounting, estimating and purchasing performed by local general contractors. Verizon Communications Verizon Call Center, Wilmington, NC Construction Management at Risk Gilbane reviewed the challenge of delivering a 12-month project schedule in a phased and shortened time-frame that would require delivery of the facility in phases with durations between four and seven months...and committed to the project. The three-story, 160,000-square-foot office building is located on more than 17 acres at the corners of Independence and Shipyard Blvd., in Wilmington, North Carolina. The call center includes a fitness center, full kitchen and dining facilities, and provides spaces for more than 1,080 vehicles. The entire three-phase project was completed in 4.5 months, and the call center was fully operational within five days of substantial completion. Additionally, the project involved new seismic code requirements that included 605 augered piles 60 feet long, 252 pile caps, structural slab, increased MEP/FP requirements and a 40 percent increased steel tonnage. This call center will create more than 1,200 new jobs for the city of Wilmington.
