The Nelson Difference

Since 2000, we have applied reach-back engineering support on every one of our on-site NASA, Air Force and Navy contracts

On-Site Engineering SERVICES

Over the last two decades, Nelson Engineering has run facilities engineering and civil engineering support divisions on base and range operations contracts. Most contracts include full systems engineering-based design services from preliminary requirements development through 100% design including engineering support during construction. Post-design services include equipment commissioning, activation and turnover, and maintenance optimization. We provide cradle-to-grave project execution across an asset’s lifecycle from procurement through disposal.

Additional capabilities we provide:

  • Project Planning and Programming
  • Real Property Analysis
  • Logistics Studies
  • Geographic Information System (GIS) Updates and Mapping
  • Computerized Maintenance Management System (CMMS) Programming
  • Facility Condition Assessments (FCA)
  • Equipment, System Commissioning (Cx)
  • Construction Support, Management and Inspection
  • Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program Development
  • Environmental Management and Compliance
  • Hurricane Disaster Assessments and Recovery

 

Nelson Engineering provides engineering services totaling 16 NASA locations to date. We excel at delivering high-end facility and system engineering services, maintenance analytics, and asset management.
