The base serves as a forward location for anti-terrorism, anti-piracy and other strategic activities. The project was undertaken for the U.S. Navy’s Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). LT Technologies was selected as the water systems subcontractor as part of a larger construction and development project that was overseen by URS Corporation, which was the general contractor, and involved Castion Corporation. Castion selected LT Technologies and managed its involvement in the project.
“Our selection as the provider for this critically important resource for a strategic U.S. Military facility validates LT Technologies’ ability to design, develop and deliver very large and sophisticated water systems for the most demanding customers anywhere in the world,” said Tom Belmont, chief executive officer of LT Technologies. “We at LT Technologies are very proud to be helping our sailors and marines with their important mission. We’re also excited about what this project tells prospective customers and the market in general about our capabilities and strengths. Regardless of how large or far-flung a project may be, we can handle any customer’s water systems needs.”
The system LT Technologies is providing uses reverse osmosis production equipment and controls to produce clean, potable water for drinking, cooking, bathing and other critical uses. It uses advanced desalination processes with new, low pressure, high-salt rejecting reverse osmosis membranes to produce clean drinking water from ocean water while minimizing energy consumption. Once online, the system will have the capacity of up to 500,000 gallons of clean water per day, enough to supply the entire military installation.
