PRESS RELEASE

ATLANTA - (Oct. 5, 2023) - Pond and joint-venture (JV) partner, GSI, today announced the award of a task order under the existing Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC) Global Petroleum, Oils, and Lubricants (GPOL) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract.

This project is for cathodic protection repairs at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.  Work includes installation of new, and repair of, existing cathodic protection systems for fuel storage tanks, associated piping, and pipelines. Cathodic protection provides an electrochemical process to control corrosion of metal in the environment.

“This is a key win for the GSI-Pond JV and enhances the portfolio of Pond projects at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and in the entire Pacific region. We are extremely proud of the fact that NAVFAC EXWC recognizes our past performance and has confidence in our ability to execute this work,” said Pond Vice President for Department of Defense Fuel Programs Willie Robohn.

“We are extremely proud of the fact that NAVFAC EXWC recognizes our past performance and has confidence in our ability to execute this work.”

The GSI-Pond JV was selected based on extensive knowledge of the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam fuel systems. The team of specialized engineers provides corrosion control solutions to government, oil marketers, pipeline and terminal operators, power generation, airport fueling facilities, and gas and water utilities throughout the U.S. and globally.

From Europe to Asia, the JV has inspected and analyzed cathodic protection systems on piping, tanks, and marine structures. Services include pre-design corrosion assessments, corrosivity and AC mitigation analysis, system design, review of contractor submittals, self-performance of CP system installs, and third-party review of data and testing procedures.
