Calspan Project Messring Propulsion Crash System
| Owner: | Calspan Corporation |
| Trades: | Millwrighting, Ironwork |
| Date: | December 2018 |
Project Description and Scope:
The State Group successfully installed the first Messring Propulsion Crash System in the US at The Calspan Facility in Buffalo New York.
The new crash facility is a 58,000 square foot state of the art laboratory, hosting a 700-foot-long precision rail that guides the sled at speeds as high as 70 MPH.
The State Group was held to tolerances of +/- .001 in the overall length of the rail, frames and pit glass in the X, Y and Z Axis. On top of the high tolerances, the installation timeline was just as tight, with a very small window to get the facility up and running.
The State Group met the schedule as well as the budget on the project.
