| The
Raptor Golf Course,
Langley Air Force Base, VA
Wipe out during
Hurricane Isabel, we were hired to rebuild the one of the premier
golf courses in the Air Force system. Little did we know when planning
that the golf course was used as one of the first bombing ranges
in the world back during WWI. After grading began we quickly discovered
unexploded ordinance (UXO) (bombs). We stopped to investigate and
discovered over 16,000 pieces of UXO up to and including 500 lb
bombs. We spent almost a year remediating (removing, exploding)
the UXO’s before work could continue. Set to open in May of
2008. (no photos yet)
