Sundt is nearing completion of a $23 million federal construction project at Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Earle in Colts Neck, New Jersey, to reverse damage caused by Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The storm affected the utility infrastructure and several buildings along NWS Earle’s 2.9-mile-long pier complex, where the weapons station carries out its mission to safely deliver ordnance to U.S. Navy warships.

The completed potable water and sanitary sewer lines (approximately 9,600 linear feet of each) installed along the trestle/pier.

NWS Earle is one of only two naval installations on the east coast with this ordnance mission, which makes our project especially important and critical to keeping the world’s sea lanes open.
