Scope Of Work
Twenty-five IFPC Marine personnel travelled across the country to board this 20-year old Nimitz-class aircraft carrier to remove the decking material from the flight deck. Using water jetting technology, IFPC Marine completed this task within 60 days, as the ship needed to be ready for deployment, as well as meet U.S. Navy standards for an upcoming assessment by the Board of Inspection and Survey. The flight deck is 257 feet wide and 1,092 feet long, which is nearly four (4) football fields in length. Water jetting this surface prepares it for the installation of decking that has proper traction for launching and recovering aircraft. The Stennis accommodates 70 tactical aircraft and up to 6,200 Sailors and Marines.
