Work will include shipyard structures that allow vessels to be hauled into a dock when it is flooded.

Water in the dock is drained out after the vessels are positioned over keel blocks to begin overhaul, maintenance, or repairs work.

Stantec programme manager Paul Harrington said: “We have a 60-plus year history at PNSY and that brings a deep understanding of the past, present and future state of this critical infrastructure.

“Critical upgrades are expected to boost the country’s military readiness and support the PSNY workforce as they carry out repair and modernisation works on naval vessels.”

“We value our long working relationship with NAVFAC and the public works staff and are excited to continue that partnership on these critical projects.”
