American Warehouse Systems Awarded Project at Bagram Airfield

Bagram Airfield is a militarized airport and housing complex that is located next to the ancient city of Bagram, 6.8 mi southeast of Charikar in Parwan province of Afghanistan. It is often referred to as Bagram Air Base, however the senior mission commander at Bagram is an Army two-star general, making it an Army Airfield in US military parlance. The base is currently occupied and maintained by the 5th Aviation Battalion (Assault),and 6th Aviation Battalion (GSAB) of the United States Army, with the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing of the United States Air Force and other U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and U.S. Coast Guard.

American Warehouse Systems responded to a need from the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing for additional space in a hangar currently used as a recreational facility for our troops. American Warehouse Systems proposed a large mezzanine floor system to be installed in the facility to create a "second floor" inside the hangar. Treadmills, exercise bikes and other exercise equipment will be placed on the mezzanine to allow for more space on the main floor for other activities.

American Warehouse Systems was fortunate enough to receive the award on this project giving us the opportunity to further support our Armed Forces. We will design and engineer the system in our facility then ship the materials to Afghanistan and install the mezzanine in the hangar. The whole project from start to stop shouldn't take more than 8-12 weeks.

American Warehouse Systems is proud to be able to provide this project to the 455th Air Expeditionary Wing. Even though Afghanistan may not be the most hospitable place to install a mezzanine system, the notion of creating additional comfort for our troops is worth the risk.
