Allied Modular Building Systems, Inc. announced today that it has been awarded the contract for construction of a Class 10000 Cleanroom for America's Global Strike Task Force's C-17 Globemaster III and the F-22A Raptor military programs based here.
The C-17 Globemaster III is the newest, most flexible cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force and is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The F-22A Raptor is the Air Force's newest fighter aircraft and with its combination of stealth, supercruise maneuverability, and integrated avionics represents an exponential leap in warfighting capabilities.
The Cleanroom will be design-built according to Elmendorf's particular project specifications and applications. The primarily use of the cleanroom will be critical composite repairs of structural cracks on the C-17 transport fleet but will also include unspecified future operational uses for the F-22A Raptor essential to man and material supplies for the war effort in the Middle East and elsewhere.
Allied Modular Building Systems and their Environmental Application Division is a preferred supplier to the U.S. Armed Forces, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Department of Energy (DOE), Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as well as private industry due to their groundbreaking research and development and scientific applications. Allied Modular was chosen for this project due to the company's advanced technical expertise, overall strength of the system and engineering specifications including Seismic Zone 4 earthquake qualifications deemed among the best in the industry.
"Allied Modular Building Systems works with the aerospace industry on a regular basis including the famous "Skunk Works" and "Phantom Works" projects based in Southern California," said Craig Wiener, Environmental Applications Division National Manager. "We are particularly proud of our on-going partnership with both producers and end-users of innovative and necessary American military defense technologies."
