The U.S. Navy established its Underwater Inspection Program to address the problem of an increasing backlog of maintenance and repairs required at Navy waterfront facilities around the world. The East Coast Detachment of NFESC was assigned responsibility for management of the ongoing program. Halcrow has completed more than thirty assignments for the NFESC in support of its Underwater Inspection Program under a number of consecutive and ongoing contracts covering a period of more than ten years.

The underwater inspections and assessments under this contract were conducted by Halcrow's in-house staff of engineer-divers. Upon completion of the inspections, structural analyses were prepared for each of the facilities inspected and recommendations, preliminary designs, and cost estimates were developed for repair and rehabilitation of each facility. The repairs encompassed different construction types including timber, concrete, and steel.

Also under this contract, Halcrow updated the Navy's manual P-990, "Conventional Underwater Construction and Repair Techniques", which Halcrow had originally written for the Navy in 1984. This manual is used as a training text and field reference for all of the Navy's waterfront inspection and repair work.
