Installation & Land Management

Limited resources are available to achieve the greatest return on investment and prolong the useful life of land and real property assets.

Government organizations at the federal, state, and local levels are responsible to taxpayers, and commercial concerns are responsible to owners, to ensure land and real property assets are properly maintained and managed. An effective sustainment program includes distress and environmental assessments, modernization, and management of lands and other assets wherever they are located. In particular, military installations and associated lands are strategic assets that are vitally important to national security and to the success of current defense missions.

CALIBRE’s Offerings
CALIBRE, a leader in installation and land management expertise, provides value to customers for sustainable management of physical and land assets, as well as natural and cultural resources. Our expertise centers around two aspects of real property stewardship: 1) mitigation strategies that allow our customers to holistically and proactively manage the total impact of asset use on essential facilities, such as business and training facilities critical to the missions of all government organizations; and
2) sustainment, restoration, and modernization of existing real property assets.
CALIBRE has significant, demonstrated capabilities that support installation and land management, including encroachment analysis and mitigation / land capacity analysis; energy efficiency assessments and operations; facility condition and functional assessments; land asset use inventorying, cataloging and presentation; land management planning and analysis; installation readiness and impact analysis; preventative maintenance programs; and sustainable training range management.

Encroachment Analysis and Mitigation / Land Capacity Analysis
CALIBRE offers premier services in Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) including technical support, training requirements integration, range and training land analysis, and land rehabilitation and maintenance. CALIBRE conducts original research and develops public involvement programs that focus on communities near military ranges to provide information and promote community understanding. We are experts in optimizing land management use, having developed methodologies that address specific environmental requirements and land carrying capacity challenges both in the continental United States and overseas. In addition, our staff has developed integrated, context-sensitive land management planning and decision support tools. CALIBRE assists customers in predicting the carrying capacity (relating training load, land condition, and land maintenance practices) of lands to withstand complex and intense activities, and in implementing cost-effective maintenance programs aimed specifically at inherently land-damaging activities.

Energy Efficiency Assessments and Operations
Our Certified Energy Managers (CEMs) support our customers at the facility-level through headquarters, providing support for reporting systems, energy programs, and master planning. We evaluate facilities with a support tool for sustainment, restoration, and modernization (SRM) decisions using BUILDER^TM Sustainment Management System (SMS). The BUILDER^TM decision support tool allows users to manage buildings individually or in groups, enabling effective management of historic, housing, health / environment, and safety / code issues.

CALIBRE maintains a staff of Certified Energy Managers to offer additional support such as:

Meter data analysis
Conservation opportunity identification
Measurement and verification services
Trend and billing analysis
Tenant billing
A smart grid laboratory

Facility Condition and Functional Assessments
CALIBRE provides engineering and management consulting, public infrastructure and facilities reviews, and business process improvement services to organizations in support of managing and maintaining scarce real property resources. Our facility management and maintenance capabilities include specialized expertise in asset management using the BUILDER^TM Sustainment Management System (SMS), building commissioning, facility condition assessments, maintenance management, performance-based contracting, resource allocation and budget execution, and process improvement – all in the fields of physical plant asset planning, construction, operation, maintenance, and demolition.

Land Asset Use Inventorying, Cataloging, and Presentation
CALIBRE offers map production, data development and acquisition, spatial analysis, technical support, central data repository, and visualization data production services. These data and techniques have many applications, including supporting sustainable land management through an enterprise system that incorporates compliant data, custom applications, and highly trained staff. CALIBRE has inventoried ranges worldwide and developed various specialized systems to solve difficult resource allocation challenges. We focus the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) products in practical applications that add value in constrained resource and physical environments.

Land Management Planning and Analysis
CALIBRE offers skills to develop a complete “picture” of the intended use of large and small parcels of land. Numerous considerations, including land use, must be integrated in terms of time, cost, and outcomes. CALIBRE not only plans the optimal use of valuable training land, but also integrates realistic wartime training for Soldiers, units, and installations. CALIBRE routinely brings divergent aspects of plans and operations into one efficient and effective program.

Installation Readiness and Impact Analysis
CALIBRE has developed an extensive array of objective criteria against which essential installation services are measured to determine installation readiness. These criteria are routinely applied to help drive targeted investment actions that result in improved operations and sustainability. Cost estimating relationships (CERs) are then derived from an analysis of the cost and performance results achieved. These CERs support a predictive model that determines the resources required to achieve a desired performance level. These analyses and modeling services result in quantifiable justification for required investment to achieve overall operational readiness.

Preventative Maintenance Programs
CALIBRE’s web-based Capital Repair and Deferred Maintenance (CRDM) software solution, FIX, is an organization-level data repository and decision support tool. As a scalable and relational system, FIX provides users the foundation for informed decision making in regard to facilities condition, risk management, budget allocation, capital renewal / reinvestment, and workload planning. CALIBRE’s strength lies in our ability to help our customers succeed by tailoring our assistance to solve specific needs.

Sustainable Training Range Management
CALIBRE offers program development, budget formulation, execution tracking, and capital construction planning for ranges. We believe application of the newest and most innovative science and resource management techniques is critical to reaching sustainable, effective solutions. Our partnerships with other companies and academic institutions allow us to bring to bear robust scientific capabilities in endangered and threatened species sustainment, and for mitigation studies that can help government agencies develop and implement effective land management strategies.
