The project involves the construction of a new approximately 14,000 square foot fire station in Hamilton, Montana. This modern facility will enhance the emergency response capabilities and services provided to the community. The building replaced the original station from 1906 which had barn doors to store horse drawn fire apparatus, and was designed primarily with firefighter safety in mind. To accomplish this, the station was laid out into three main sections. The first is the office, living space and in-house training areas. The center space is the garage, where the trucks and equipment are parked. The third, westernmost space includes several off-shoot rooms where gear is stored, cleaned and donned during responding. In between the garage and the living space are lab style “airlocks.” These small rooms have sensors that prevent contaminated air from circulating into the main space where the firefighters stay and work. A.C.E., Inc. delivered comprehensive professional engineering design and construction administration services, ensuring the project was executed to the highest standards. The scope of services included:
- Plumbing Systems
- HVAC Systems
- Temperature Control Systems
- Fire Sprinkler Systems
- Electrical Lighting & Power Systems
- Electrical Power Systems
- Fire Alarm Systems
- Site Interior & Exterior Lighting Systems
The new Hamilton Fire Station is a state-of-the-art facility, equipped with 4 drive through apparatus bays, the latest systems and technologies to support the vital services provided by the fire department. The project, managed by A.C.E., Inc., delivered a high-quality, efficient, and safe environment for the community’s emergency response needs.
