The ROBMC will replace the 70-year-old Landstuhl Regional Medical Center (LRMC) and US Air Force 86th Medical Group (86th MDG) Ramstein Air Force Base facility. The new modern medical campus will support 49,000 active duty servicemembers and their families.
“Our healthcare facilities team is proud to be a trusted service provider to the Department of Defense,” said Steve Morriss, President, US, Latin America and Minerals & Metals, AtkinsRéalis.
“This facility is a vital component of the US defence strategy in Europe, enhancing medical care for US Forces and strengthening ties with NATO allies. It’s an incredible honour to once again provide our specialised services and technical capabilities in support of the men, women and their families who ensure our freedom and safety.”
Under a 65 month, US$193.9 million task order award to replace an iconic legacy facility, AtkinsRéalis is providing project management, inventory, interior design, equipment planning, purchasing, warehousing, overseas shipping, disposition of excess equipment, installation, calibration and testing at ROBMC. The Company will also provide training and phased transition support to approximately 2,500 facility staff members to ensure a seamless move and optimum operational efficiency.
“Through state-of-the-art IO&T tools, software, systems, procedures and innovative management solutions our strategically assembled on-site team of proven experts, supported by US based reach back personnel, will successfully deliver this crucial project on time and within budget,” said Jonathan Marshall, Senior Vice President, Project & Program Services Business Unit Director, AtkinsRéalis.
Comprehensive technical services delivered by AtkinsRéalis’ Global Technology Center (GTC), including digital 3D design, AutoCAD and Building Information Modeling (BIM) will maximise efficiency and streamline delivery. Virtual Reality mock-ups will allow reviewers to visualise space layouts and workflow while allowing for real time adjustments as necessary. AtkinsRéalis also developed a tablet based mobile app specifically for Military Treatment Facility (MTF) inventorying that synchronises photos, serial numbers and manufacturer information to enhance equipment cataloging.
AtkinsRéalis has a significant European presence with over 13,000 employees based in the UK & Ireland as well as offices in France, Germany, Poland and Romania. The Company’s offices in Hamburg and Oldenburg, Germany, enable the hiring of local nationals to provide responsive support.
