Work under the project includes modernising production facilities at the Oklahoma City – Air Logistics Complex (OC-ALC), which employs more than 9,000 people and is one of three air logistics complexes operated within the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC), Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC).

"This is a big milestone for Tinker Air Force Base and the Air Force in our journey to achieving operational efficiency."

OC-ALC commander brigadier general Mark K. Johnson said: "This is a big milestone for Tinker Air Force Base and the Air Force in our journey to achieving operational efficiency, and we thank both the Secretary of the Air Force Leadership and Honeywell for making this achievement possible.

“In addition to increasing productivity, the improvements will also make us more competitive in the private sector for aircraft maintenance work through decreasing our energy costs."

The company will install two new 2,000t chillers at the base to increase the reliability of the cooling system, as well as LED lighting with wireless controls and smart meters to more closely monitor and track building energy consumption.
