When the Department of Defense needs fueling systems support, it calls on Argus for specialized programming, planning, design, construction administration and start-up services. For more than 20 years, we’ve served military agencies, from MILCON design support representing construction value of more than $100 million, to comprehensive sustainment, restoration and modernization (SRM) programs.
Whether devising a plan to keep an alligator occupied while sheet pile is installed or moving a fuel storage tank several yards by using railroad tracks, supporting the mission sparks all sorts of creative solutions from Argus’ engineers.
Our deep knowledge of mission requirements, design and construction standards, and operational and maintenance expectations, allows us to fast-track government projects and offer a range of project delivery methods.
- Traditional design/bid/build for MILCON projects
- Design/build for sustainment, restoration and maintenance (SR&M) projects
