HMS Construction has been our go to contractor on two major US Army communications infrastructure programs over the last 10 years. I have worked with them on all phases of the two programs from the initial design through the procurement and build phase to the final customer acceptance and they have performed in an outstanding and highly professional manner. During the design phase they provided invaluable input on reliable and cost effective solutions to many of our design issues. These solutions, which included environmental assessments and documentation, ensured that the programs remained on schedule and within cost. In the build phases their teams of highly skilled craftsmen, technicians, and equipment operators completed over 20 communications sites from bare earth to functional sites. An example of a typical site included clearing, foundation and shelter installation, erection of towers ranging up to 30 meters, hanging and interconnecting all antennas and associated equipment, installation of equipment within the shelters, installation and verification of prime and standby power generation and associated equipment and cabling. They designed and installed all inter-site fiber optic communications infrastructure to include ducts, vaults, fiber, splices and patch panels. In summary, I believe that HMS Construction is one of the finest infrastructure and general contractors in the business.
