NAVFAC advances utility reliability with system-wide analytics and electrical planning 

To address the risks with its aging electrical infrastructure, NAVFAC launched a systemwide utilities asset management program to deliver electrical master plans, condition assessments, and in-depth analyses. Since 2009, more than 50 task orders have supported NAVFAC in improving utility systems worldwide. 

Delivering system-wide asset insights 

Utility inventories, condition assessments, and analyses were conducted across 65+ installations to guide decisions. 

Strengthening safety through analysis 

Arc flash studies, protective device coordination, and load-flow modeling helped enhance worker safety and reduce risks.

Applying deep-dive nodal modeling 

The nodal analysis model identified deficiencies with precision, enabling corrective actions at major naval shipyards. 

Optimizing performance and costs 

Master plans and power factor improvements helped NAVFAC avoid penalties, reduce outages, and defer costly upgrades. 

Through comprehensive master plans and deep-dive studies, CDM Smith helped NAVFAC enhance electrical reliability, resiliency, and safety across global bases. NAVFAC Atlantic noted that CDM Smith delivered an “in-depth and short-fused utility assessment, performing their work on time and free of mistakes,” underscoring the team’s trusted support.
