Location: Rockaway, NJ
Contract Type: Army ESPC
Contract Value: $56.3 Million

Established in 1880, Picatinny Arsenal is one of the oldest military installations in the U.S. Situated on a 6,500-acre research and development campus in the northwest corner of northwestern New Jersey, Picatinny operates 2.7 million square feet of indoor floor space and supports over 4,000 personnel. ESG worked with Picatinny Arsenal to develop a plan to prioritize its most critical energy and infrastructure needs, which led to a project reconfiguring the Arsenal’s 60-year old central heating system. ESG installed new steam boilers, hot water boilers, furnaces, and unit heaters to serve the more than 250 existing buildings. An industrial grade monitoring and control system was installed to support future operation and maintenance requirements. The construction schedule required detailed coordination between ESG, subcontractors, the local gas utility, and Arsenal employees and decision makers. ESG operates and maintains the system under the operations portion of the contract allowing the Arsenal to focus greater resources on its core missions. The project is reducing Picatinny’s long-term operating costs by over $100 million and reducing harmful carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen dioxide emissions by an estimated 1 million tons.
