Maintenance and Repair of Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF), Space Florida
CSS served as the prime contractor performing comprehensive facilities management for the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) and accompanying facilities.

CSS served as the prime contractor performing comprehensive facilities management for the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) and accompanying facilities. Now called the Launch and Landing Facility (LLF), it is one of the longest runways in the world at 15,000 feet, serving NASA and private aviation and commercial science companies. CSS assisted Space Florida in transitioning the SLF, air traffic control tower, and all supporting services and equipment from a NASA-owned asset to a Space Florida asset between 2013 and 2017. We performed a comprehensive facility condition assessment to identify the status and operational capability of the facility for Space Florida. We conducted numerous repair and preventive maintenance tasks to preserve and upgrade the current state of the facility and accommodate real-time operations; executed improvement projects to enhance the visual appeal and utility of several buildings; and provided just-in-time repairs to the runway pavement and lighting systems to ensure safe operations for critical missions including the U.S. Air Force X-37.
