Provided resource energy management (REM) services to support ANG CETSC and over 100 ANG Bases to support renewable energy, energy resiliency and efficiency projects. Services focused on program management and reporting, reduction of energy costs, consumption, intensity and demand at its facilities.

SIA’s energy managers provided analyses, consultation, and recommendations to improve energy efficiency,including estimates of cost analysis of savings, onsite inspections and audits of current operations, equipment, and energy purchase patterns providing project development and execution. Additionally, the energy managers calculated and supported measurement and verification reporting of completed energy projects and initiatives.

The energy managers evaluated base operations and maintenance for energy efficiency and identification of possible improvements, conducted energy audits including periodic Installation Energy audits, meeting requirements of EISA 432, and assisted with review of audit reports and development of ANG audit policy and or best practices. They also analyzed meter data, develop usage profiles and guidance, evaluated utility rate structure for reasonableness and appropriateness, and investigated and recommended Peak Demand initiatives to reduced demand charges.

As a result of the Fukushima reactor incident, U.S. Marine Corps MH-53 helicopters stationed at MCAS Iwakuni near Hiroshima in Japan, along with their spare parts inventories, were contaminated with radiological fallout. The radiological elements that created the contamination are cesium-134 (Cs134) and cesium-137 (Cs137).

The U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC), the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) at Patuxent River, MD, and the NAVSEA 04 Radiological Controls Department requested SIA to provide senior radiation expertise and services to support the Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron (MALS-12) and the Program Management Aviation (PMA- 261). The SIA SMEs provided radiological oversight and support for the preparation of the area; radiological surveys; disassembly; removal of equipment; preparing, packing, and manifesting shipments of Fukushima radiologically contaminated materials; and final clearance surveys of the complete airframes of four MH-53 helicopters.

SIA Solutions, LLC is leading a team of cross-functional engineering experts to design, build and test an automated, articulated concrete mat sinking prototype for application on a barge in support of the United States Corps of Engineers (USACE) mission to maintain navigational waterways critical to U.S. national security. The team includes: the Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) National Robotics Engineering Center (NREC), Bristol Harbor Group, Inc, and the American Bureau of Shipping Group, Inc. SIA is performing a key integrating role under Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) W15QKN-13-09-0001, Prototype Project Agreement (PPA) No. SINIT-16-0010 as administered by the Consortium for Energy, Environment, and Demilitarization (CEED) in support of this endeavor. Following the land-based prototype testing, SIA will manufacture, install, and commission a full-scale robotic system on a newly constructed USACE barge under OTA W15QKN-17-09-8888, PPA No. CEED-18-0022. Within both Task Orders, Contracting Officer’s Representative and technical oversight responsibilities for the project are provided by the USACE, Marine Design Center (MDC), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; who in turn is working with the USACE Districts in Vicksburg, Mississippi; Memphis, Tennessee; and New Orleans, Louisiana. The USACE Vicksburg District is the leading entity for financial support of this project.

The National Park Service Outer Banks Group is composed of three geographically separated parks with high visitor volume in an ecologically sensitive environment along 90 miles of North Carolina’s pristine, ever-changing coastline. Following years of workarounds on their outdated IT system, they experienced dragging network speeds, inability to properly back data up, ineffective communication lines, and countless personnel hours to troubleshoot or manually resolve issues. SIA created an implementation plan that included a full network design from inter-site fiber optic installation to interior room schematics and equipment specifications and costs. We provided financial strategies, risk management, system redundancy measures, service provider options as well as independent construction considerations, adherence to applicable engineering standards, construction and permitting requirements, and GIS mapping. The proposed system’s construction and deployment are a low impact on the parks’ natural environment and include the capability to support future bandwidths and anticipated upgrades.
