The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) has awarded science, technology and engineering solutions firm KBR a $38 million contract supporting global Automated Fuel Handling Equipment (AFHE) sites.
The AFHE system is described by the DLA as an Industrial Control System with real-time data acquisition/control and inventory management, possessing the capability to automate transfer and inventory functions to reduce petroleum product spills and leakage risks.
“KBR leverages its expertise in Industrial Control Systems to offer more advanced productivity solutions for government and commercial customers,” KBR Government Solutions U.S. President Byron Bright said. “This work supports DLA’s efforts to reduce waste, improve productivity and prevent environmental pollution, in addition to aligning with our corporate sustainability goals and commitment to Zero Harm.”
The five-year contract scope of work involves KBR providing maintenance and sustainment support and data analytics to ensure operations continuity at 23 AFHE sites.
KBR will execute preventative and corrective maintenance, site support, Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition maintenance support documentation and equipment, and material site support capability for DLA’s Automated Fuel Systems.
The DLA said modern automation of fueling systems can generate efficiencies by eliminating human error and protecting the environment from negative impacts.
