HOUSTON | KBR announced Sept. 25 that its wholly-owned subsidiary KBR Federal Services was awarded the U.S. Naval Facilities (NAVFAC) Engineering Command construction contract for the aircraft logistics apron, taxiway enhancement and parking pads upgrade at Camp Lemonnier, Djibouti, in the Horn of Africa.
The contract will expand the enduring apron and allow parking for two aircraft, including the construction of a concrete aircraft apron. It will also connect overhead mast lighting, connect fire protection hydrants and water distribution, and extend and widen three taxiways in order to reconfigure the Camp Lemonnier aircraft parking arrangement. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
“We are proud to be given the opportunity to continue to work with NAVFAC, and to continue to offer a high level of support, service and quality facilities to our military personnel located throughout the world,” said Richard Ambrose, president, KBR North American Government and Logistics.
