U.S. Forces KoreaBase Relocation Program CH2M HILL Builds an Army Base for 44,000 People September 2013
Safety Message… In Korea it’s “do as I do, not as I say” … because most of the time they have no idea what we are saying! Actions and behavior speak louder than any words in any language or culture; they cut across all human boundaries!
Once upon a time … US Army Corps of Engineers in a far away land (South Korea) CH2M Hill decided to build a US Army base funded by two allied countries US Government had international agreements and a model they said would work They said would work … but never attempted before in NATO Original completion 2013; now 2017 Original estimate $7M; now $11B Largest Corp of Engineers program since 1914 Largest peacetime DOD Relocation Program ever
Now What exactly are we Building? … A small US City in a foreign land 44,000 people- the size of Littleton, Colorado or Biloxi, Mississippi US Army Mission Support- Tactical Vehicles, Rotary, Maintenance and Training and Command HQs Military and Family Housing Shopping Malls and Community Centers Elementary, Middle and High Schools Medical Facilities- New Hospital, dental centers, etc Entertainment Complexes World Class Golf Course
What did we get … US Government: Trust us – Quality is No. 1! Korea Government: Do as we say - Cost is No. 1! Who are we: K-C PMC - CH2M HILL managing partner and 35% ownership with 4 Korean construction management companies What did we get: 2 governments, 3 Contracts and 24 task orders to date Contract value over 10 years - $500M to our Consortium Foreign exchange rate that fluctuates more than the program baseline schedule and costs! Over 300 people strong today - 60 expats on the ground
Gangnam Style! Groundbreaking Nov 2007 We did a “Prayers to Heaven” Dance!

Challenging program; a real hike! …thankfully we love hiking together in Korea
Challenges Maximum utilization of our No. 1 Program Manager talents and skills Every milestone coordinated with military command Bilingual and bicultural team (20% expat and 80% Korean); lots of translation; loooooong meetings 20,000 workers at peak construction Massive landfill required – 4 years and still going Use of local DoD-approved materials Constrained site access Client alignment difficult Phased demolition while maintaining mission readiness
Great progress and so proud! Kudos to Staff! Groundbreaking Celebrations Friendship Events Safety First!
