Projects of Excellence

Amentum supports our government and commercial clients wherever, whenever, it is needed. Infrastructure should just work – empowering missions to get done without being a distraction. We help ensure facilities are the place where work gets done, lives get lived, and objectives are accomplished – hopefully all without noticing it. We support secure supply chains that take advantage of the most appropriate technology while being driven by people that have actually lived with the outcomes as opposed to just working in them. We maintain and operate equipment that enables mission, doing it in ways that extend the useful lifespans while updating it to face modern challenges. We focus on mission IT – IT that is a supporting character to the mission , not an end and of itself. We provide UAV solutions that most non-OEMs cannot, integrating widely available technology into mission-critical functions.

We’ve successfully managed support operations in Afghanistan since 2005. Over that time, our team has built a close relationship with our partners at DoD. We have provided key support services to 38,000 military personnel across 53 unique base locations throughout fluid mission and operational changes. We facilitate the Army’s troop buildups, theater redistributions and retrograde operations, maintaining a wide range of tactical vehicles, weapons platforms and communications systems.

Highlights

  • Successfully, and ahead of schedule, completed DoD’s theater priority mission for the Security Force Assistance Brigades (SFAB) by providing rapid reconstitution maintenance support for 127 MaxxPros to be issued 10/20 to rotating SFAB units. Processed for movement 2785 pieces of equipment at a value of $171.5M, providing support to SOCOM, multiple PMs, TPE and all active units within the CJOA-A with a 100% acceptance rate by Joint Inspections, Customs inspections, ULN packet creation exceeding DOD Directive 4500.9, DOD 5030.49-R, and ARCENT Directive 30-3. Supported the rapid deployment and fielding of 128 M1151 HMMWVs through proactivity, analysis and pre-ordering of 253 lines of SSL, totaling 2,462 pieces. This saved countless man-hours waiting on parts being shipped to theater.
  • Managed and maintained nearly $3B in USG property overseeing the lateral transfer, turn in, and issuance of all theater property assets with 100% accountability.
  • Enabling real-time reports and status updates with the Amentum enterprise management system.

SAVANNAH RIVER SITE (SRS)

Savannah River Remediation (SRR), an Amentum-led team, is responsible for closing the underground high-level radioactive liquid waste storage tanks at the Savannah River Site (SRS) near Aiken, South Carolina, U.S.

The waste is the result of more than 50 years of Cold War production of nuclear weapons materials. That production created tens of millions of gallons of liquid high-level waste (HLW), with more than 34 million gallons of the waste (HLW) stored in waste tanks. There were originally in 51 single- and double-shell tanks, but with 8 waste tanks now operationally closed, the waste remains in 43 tanks.

The cornerstone of SRR’s activities is the operation of the Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF), the nation’s only radioactive waste glassification plant. Since DWPF began operation in 1996, more than 4,200 canisters of vitrified waste have been produced, suitable for long-term storage and ultimate disposal. Amentum is the only company in the world currently operating waste vitrification facilities (in the US and UK) and participating in construction of a DWPF sister facility at the Department of Energy’s Hanford Site.

Other major operations include separating the most radioactive waste, destined for vitrification, from very low-level radioactive liquid that constitutes the majority of the waste tank volume. SRR decontaminates that liquid, mixes it with cement, and pumps it into huge concrete disposal units for permanent disposal onsite. More than 28 million gallons of decontaminated salt solution from the tanks have been solidified.

SRR is currently and historically one of the safest high-risk, high-hazard industrial contractors in the world. Amentum’s legacy company at SRS won the first-ever DOE Voluntary Protection Program Star for safety as a major DOE Cold War strategic materials production site and has continued to be recertified for that honor every year since inception.

The ultimate goal is emptying and grouting the old storage tanks and support systems, and SRR, with its heritage companies, is the first company in the world to operationally close HLW tanks.

Significant accomplishments include:

  • SRR recently closed the 8th HLW tank, steadily reducing the most significant environmental risk for the State of South Carolina. SRR also recently installed Melter 3 at DWPF, after extending the life of Melter 2 to 14 years, 5 times the life of the original melter.
  • Conceived and implemented double-stacking of canisters in the first storage building, avoiding the $100M cost for construction of a new storage building.
  • Completed construction of a 32-million-gallon saltstone disposal unit -- the largest of its kind in the world. It represented a savings of nearly $100M in building multiple vaults of the same capacity.

Managing the UK’s entire defense portfolio.

Amentum delivers comprehensive program management across the globe. The UK Ministry of Defence has engaged us to manage their country’s national and international defense estate portfolio. The overall contract is valued at approximately £400 million ($670 million) over 10 years.

As a partner with UK’s Defence Infrastructure Organisation, we’re responsible for strategic disposal of sites, allocation of assets, and construction and maintenance of the estate infrastructure of their defense facilities worldwide, including military bases that accommodate service personnel and their families.

Our skilled team performs key functions, including hard and soft facilities management, workforce planning and transformation, utilities management, project and program delivery, and strategic-asset management. We have been tasked by the UK government to increase efficiency, reduce costs and deliver the best value to UK taxpayers.

Highlights

  • Managing assets worth more than £21 billion, including over 45,000 buildings, 50,000 houses and 135,000 bed spaces for the UK Armed Forces.
  • Overseeing a portfolio totaling some 230,000 hectares, or one per cent of the UK landmass.
