The project was a task order under KBR’s contingency construction capabilities (Concap) contract with the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (Navfac).
The contract stipulated that all work, including the design, procurement and construction of the facilities, be completed within six months. KBR completed the construction phase in 120 days.
The successfully completed facilities include berthing, restrooms, galleys and support infrastructure to include power generation and distribution, fresh water production and distribution and fire protection systems for the facilities.
Richard Graves, vice president of KBR’s general & industrial design and construction unit, said: KBR was able to overcome significant design and logistical challenges and successfully completed the work on time, despite rough seas and an extreme range of both hot and cold weather.
