Axias Wins Contract to Assist the Navy

Axias recently won a contract to assist the Navy in providing cost estimating and scheduling services for the planned submarine propulsor enclosure. The project provides for the fabrication and delivery of a new modular enclosure system to cover the aft section of U.S. Navy submarines at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine. Typically, the 31-foot wide by 62-foot long by 50-foot tall system is used during maintenance availabilities for the propulsor assembly of Virginia-Class nuclear submarines. The work may include new components such as an aft tower, starboard and port propulsor enclosures, and propulsor roof enclosure.
