At VanJoh, we pride ourselves on delivering tailored solutions to meet complex infrastructure and data management needs. Partnering with the Aberdeen Proving Ground Directorate of Public Works (APG DPW), we provide comprehensive CADD and Facility Management System (FMS) support services. Our work enables APG DPW to efficiently maintain and manage its vast facilities, utilities, and equipment, ensuring optimal performance across all operations.
 

The Challenge

APG DPW oversees an extensive and diverse portfolio, including approximately 3,300 facilities, structures, utilities, and land assets, spanning over 40,000 separate locations and involving over 25,000 pieces of equipment. These assets support more than 80 Garrison Supported Organizations (GSO), 20,000 civilian and military personnel, and 16 million square feet of building space.
 

The Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) program has further increased the demand for precise CADD and FMS services to manage the infrastructure’s growing complexity. APG required a solution to effectively track, maintain, and manage engineering drawings, real property equipment, and spatial data to support its operational and strategic needs.
 

Our Solution

VanJoh delivered robust onsite support services, integrating cutting-edge technology and expertise to meet the unique needs of APG DPW. Our approach focused on maintaining and optimizing critical infrastructure data and supporting effective decision-making for facility operations, maintenance, and planning.
 

Key elements of our services include:
 

1. Comprehensive CADD Services
   Using MicroStation v8i, we provide detailed engineering and conceptual drawings for a variety of needs, including capital plans, laboratory layouts, administrative spaces, and infrastructure assets. These preliminary and as-built drawings serve as the foundation for strategic planning and infrastructure development.
    

2. As-Built Data Management and GIS Integration
   VanJoh ensures that APG’s as-built data is accurate, up-to-date, and seamlessly integrated with the Geographic Information System (GIS). This ensures all spatial data is current and supports the development of capital projects and infrastructure management.
    

3. Real Property and Equipment Data Management
   With over 7,000 engineering drawings and 40,000 real property equipment items under management, we provide meticulous data tracking and support for preventative maintenance, repairs, and parts replacement. This system enables APG DPW to stay ahead of maintenance schedules and improve asset longevity.
    

4. Support for Environmental and Operational Programs
   Our services extend to supporting APG DPW programs such as energy conservation, recycling, solid waste management, landscaping, and safety. This holistic approach ensures efficient operations while meeting environmental and safety standards.
    

Project Outcomes

Our partnership with APG DPW has delivered measurable results:
 

• Accurate and Reliable Infrastructure Data
  Ensured all engineering drawings, spatial data, and equipment records are current and accessible for planning and operations.
   

• Enhanced Planning and Decision-Making
  Provided detailed CADD and GIS data for capital plans and projects, enabling better resource allocation and project execution.
   

• Efficient Asset Management
  Streamlined maintenance schedules and improved tracking of 40,000 real property equipment items.
   

• Support for Diverse DPW Programs
  Bolstered key DPW services, including energy management, environmental compliance, and facility operations.
   

Why It Matters

This project highlights VanJoh’s ability to integrate technology and expertise to streamline infrastructure management for complex organizations. By maintaining accurate data and delivering advanced CADD and FMS solutions, we empower APG DPW to operate more efficiently and make informed decisions for the future of its facilities and services.
