worth of facility upgrade and new construction projects, and

over $4 million in service contracts. Inspected rebuilding of

earthen hardening over weapons storage igloos and installation

of grout-pumped erosion control blankets (as used by USACOE in

and supplier of most of the conventional weapons used in desert

storm), to provide quality control for a RED HORSE mil-con

project to rebuild earthen blast deflection barriers requiring

specific placement, dimensions, height, and density, like flood

levees, but with restrictions on the size of rock included to

limit secondary blast damage. Utilized surveying instruments

and nuclear density gauge to test material density, lift

thickness, layout control, and height while maintaining

standards for concrete pad placement and materials built by USAF

personal, most of which were in training. Performed surveying

and pavement materials tests for evaluation of host country

contractors and military construction in remote classified

African and Middle East locations. Duties included performing

field tests of asphalt density, proctor tests, destructive tests

of asphalt material and sieve analysis. Team identified

problems with supplied asphalt materials; including finding

soluble fines used in mix, making the asphalt have unacceptably
