Infrastructure Support Services
Infrastructure is the technical structures that support a society. It includes the basic facilities, services, and installations needed for the functioning of a community or society, such as roads, water supply, wastewater, power grids, flood management systems, schools, correctional institutions and communications systems (Internet, phone lines, broadcasting).
U.S. Facilities currently manages major infrastructure projects for clients such as:
• The Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (overseen by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) includes 78.8 miles of navigable canals and waterways, 3,197 acres of improved land, 37 buildings, two canals, three navigation locks, three water control spillways and four highway drawbridges.
Our responsibilities include full management of all associated facility operations along with ongoing maintenance.
We operate and maintain locks, bridges, and gates and canals; maintain all real property, grounds, and equipment; perform preventative maintenance on bridge equipment; remove snow; fabricate replacement parts as required; maintain vehicles; manage utilities; oversee boat operations; provide custodial services, and utilities/payment maintenance.
USF has held this contract since February, 1983 and has been awarded subsequent contracts, providing continuous O&M services to the Corps of Engineers since the initial contract start date.
• The Virginia Department of Transportation entrusts us to manage eight movable bridges located throughout southern Virginia.
Our responsibilities include planning, organizing, coordinating, and scheduling all bridge operations and specified maintenance actions. We have complete responsibility for drawbridge operations services on a 24 hour per day, 365 days per year basis. We also provide preventive maintenance and repair, maintenance for project vehicles, custodial and related services, and ongoing inspection of all bridge and associated operating equipment and systems.
We have performed these services for over a decade in a manner that the VDOT classifies as “highly satisfactory.” Our managers have developed a strong working relationship with VDOT managers, helping to facilitate sustained problem-free bridge operations.
