Military Facilities

In service to the nation, military facilities—especially those on the waterfront—require design and service above and beyond to support their missions. Since our founding, Moffatt & Nichol has provided specialized services for the design of Navy and other Department of Defense waterfront and land-based facilities around the world. These have ranged from new and innovative installations to the rehabilitation and modernization of existing infrastructure. Beyond the drafting table, the design and planning manuals Moffatt & Nichol has authored for the U.S. government have become standards for small craft harbors, moorings, port facilities, waterfront utilities, drydocks and coastal protection.
