Norfolk Naval Shipyard Breaks Ground

Moffatt & Nichol is excited that Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY) broke ground on the $43.6 million Dry Dock Floodwall Protection Improvements Project. The project, designed by the Moffatt & Nichol + Burns & McDonnnell Joint Venture team, provides a perimeter floodwall around NNSY’s small dry docks area in order to protect critical facilities, infrastructure, and equipment from surge, and waves associated with a 100-year storm, and to provide protection from a 500-year flooding event. The project is part of the Navy’s Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Program, a 20-year, $21 billion program dedicated to providing the nation’s four public shipyards with modern equipment, improving workflow and upgrading dry docks and facilities.
