Project Significance
​
Due to the complexity and confined, aging infrastructure of the city, this repair work is continual, challenging, and sometimes with as little as 4 hours advance notice to commence work. With efficiency and precision, Fort Myer safely navigates the confined work spaces with large equipment and materials. ​
