Design-Build, Steam B Boiler Replacement, Naval Support Facility, Indian Head, Maryland   4

Background
This project involves the partial rehabilitation of the Naval Support Facility (NSF) Indian Head, Maryland, steam system through the replacement of the Steam B Plant located at the southern end of the Indian Head peninsula. The rehabilitation includes full demolition and replacement of the Steam B building and its ancillary equipment and support components that are currently in poor condition, and the provision of improved site conditions for drainage and operational efficiency. The project aims to bring the facility up to current standards for system operations, control, and efficiency as well as better support the needs of NAVSEA. The Steam B project will increase continuity and reliability of steam service by providing redundancy for the critical mission of Energetics Operations, as well as reduce hazards during the curing process for energetics. The Steam B Plant will be operationally integrated with the existing Primary Nodal Plant (PNP) via controls and piping, which will provide adequate steam redundancy in the event the PNP is taken completely out of service.
