Project description
Bravo Zulu (well done)! This was the resounding praise declared by members of the project team upon completion of the U.S. Navy’s San Clemente Island Fuel Facility renovation and upgrade project, which opened in July 2016.
The project focused on replacing aging fuel storage facilities with cutting-edge modernizations used to support Naval aircraft missions. The renovations were conducted on Navy-owned property located on San Clemente Island in California. The site serves as a live-fire range and research facility, providing tactical training for both fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft squadrons assigned to Navy Region Southwest. All work was completed while the site remained operational, issuing in excess of 80,000 gallons of fuel each month for hundreds of Navy, joint service and allied forces aircraft.
