General Atomics

Project summary :

General Atomics is a defense and diversified technologies company, founded in 1955. They produce a series of unmanned aircraft for the US Navy and nuclear research reactors. The company occupies 8.3 million square feet of engineering, laboratory and manufacturing facilities with over 12,500 employees. The specs and expectations for facilities that require exact tolerances can be daunting. Parkway welcomed the opportunity. “I LOVED the fact they employed LEAN construction techniques on my big jobs and were learning as they applied the tools for the first time,” says Dave Schoenwetter from General Atomics. “Combining Parkway A&E, lower-level subs and area users in design reviews made a huge difference. Parkway also worked closely with us to install an under-floor fire suppression system that hadn’t been used before in the Aerospace industry in the High Desert of SoCal.”

Integrity in the process and the relationships multiplies the talents and experience of both client and contractor. “Parkway did three larger jobs for me when I was with General Atomics in the High Desert of Southern CA,” Dave Continues. “I think the key to the excellent relationship was the integrity Ryan and the rest of the leadership team brought to the table. When I needed something as a customer, they were available, listened to my input and responded fairly regardless which way the issue went. They adopted several LEAN construction methods at my request which I believe benefitted all parties. Parkway also developed a method of financial forecasting that we needed to ensure funding and estimate at complete accuracy.”
