SOUTH AIRFIELD Projects

A series of earthquakes caused devastating damage to the Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake, located in a remote part of the Western Mojave Desert Region of California. As a result, a $2.3 billion Earthquake Recovery Program was established to support the mission to restore the installation to its full operational capacity. Under the program, the team is building new and updated facilities, including hangars, an integration laboratory, an air traffic control tower, an apron, and a fire/rescue station. The task order, which combines six projects into one, marks the largest construction project under the program. Under a separate project, the team has also constructed, operated, and maintained an 850-person temporary housing and full berthing camp for contractors supporting the effort.
