US SUPREME COURT

MULTIPLE RELOCATIONS

Overview

PSG began working with the US Department of Transportation (DOT) in 2005 as DOT embarked on the final stages of its new headquarters project. Located on an 11-acre parcel within the Southeast Federal Center in Washington, DC, the 1.9 million square foot complex consists of two towers, which houses the agency’s 5,700 employees.

PSG provided quality assurance and quality control for the Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing systems. We also assisted with developing cost saving strategies by researching the latest equipment, design, and operations of post-9/11 security and emergency protocol for building management systems applications.

Project Highlights

PSG provided relocation management services:

Space planning
A full asset inventory (including bar coding and database)
Technical migration plans
Meeting facilitation to enable work to continue without interruption during swing space moves
Interaction with Supreme Court staff and Architect of the Capitol punch list services

Migration planning challenges:

Parameters of the Court’s schedule
Mandate that no Court assets could leave the grounds
No budget for off-site storage; and no staging area for storage trailers

PSG identified and reconfigured existing space within the building to generate storage space for the Court assets. A room-by-room asset inventory was developed using photographs and a custom database; furniture was labeled, removed and stored; extra storage space was achieved without procuring temporary space by installing racking in private areas.

A system to store all the court briefs using high density shelving was created, and PSG successfully managed all of the moves during the US Supreme Court’s renovation.
