Project Profile: Douglas County Fire Station #9 | Lithia Springs, GA

Caliber 1 Construction recently completed the ground-up construction of Douglas County Fire Station #9 in Lithia Springs, GA. Operating as the lead design-build contractor for this municipal project, our team delivered a reliable, 17,079-square-foot public safety facility. Located on a 7.5-acre site, this single-story fire station construction project is specifically designed to support the county’s daily emergency response operations and administrative needs.

Structural Design and Building Features

Building a durable, low-maintenance facility is critical for emergency services. We utilized tough, high-quality materials to ensure long-term structural integrity.

• Constructed a robust steel-framed structure paired with heavy-duty CMU walls.
• Poured a stable slab-on-grade foundation capable of supporting heavy fire-rescue equipment.
• Built expansive apparatus bays to house essential emergency vehicles.
• Configured highly functional administrative offices and daily support areas for fire station personnel.

Site Development and Exterior Infrastructure

Because this facility sits on a large 7.5-acre property, comprehensive site development was necessary to ensure smooth daily operations.

• Paved dedicated parking areas for both staff and visitors.
• Engineered precise truck circulation routes to provide safe and efficient truck ingress and egress.
• Built a functional outdoor plaza and patio area for station personnel.
• Erected a 6-foot-high masonry screening wall to provide visual separation and organize the site.
• Installed a complete stormwater management system, integrating necessary water quality features to manage site runoff effectively.

Self-Performed Services and Project Delivery

To maintain strict quality control and streamline the schedule, Caliber 1 Construction self-performed several critical phases of this design-build project.
