A project of this magnitude, undoubtedly, came with several challenges. Our greatest challenge included the berth, terminal, and parking facility construction conjunctive of one another. Berth delays had direct impact on the terminal schedule, causing the general contractor to re-sequence an entire tilt wall production and erection order.

The delivery for all three structures required extensive coordination and regular impromptu stakeholder meetings at multiple times throughout the day in addition to regularly scheduled Superintendent and OAC meetings.

The KMI team provided complete, seamless support to the Canaveral Port Authority. We were able to save the client over $1 million through design review management. Several of our design suggestions were implemented and proved successful additions to the project.

We provided daily quality assurance inspections and worked with the contractor teams to deliver a large, complex project under the guaranteed maximum price. The quality assurance inspections ensured accuracy of construction documents and aided in developing a collaborative rapport with the GC, which greatly facilitated the identification and correction of any potential quality issues.

While it would seem that a “divide and conquer” approach would have been more effective, the KMI Team was just that…a TEAM. Everyone had their primary responsibilities, but trust in our leadership allowed all team members to remain collaborative and in touch with all aspects of project delivery.
