The project included design coordination and installation of a custom FiberTite roofing system across approximately 10,000 square feet. With no access to the facility prior to mobilization, JR&CO relied on detailed drawings, extensive pre-construction planning, and early shipment of all materials and equipment by barge. The team addressed unforeseen structural and site conditions through on-site problem solving and completed the project on schedule with zero change orders.

  • This project marked JR&CO’s first OCONUS installation, over 4,200 miles from the continental U.S.
  • This project required months of advance planning to coordinate logistics, permits, security clearances, training, and material shipments.
  • Executed a fully pre-planned mobilization with no prior building access.
  • Our team designed a custom FiberTite system for the island’s harsh climate and provided added facility evaluations.
  • All work was completed in under two weeks with zero change orders, even with unforeseen site conditions aligning with the island’s limited flight availability.

Special Conditions included: Remote island location; no pre-mobilization site access; barge-shipped materials; limited flights; specialized training and clearances

Facilities on Ascension Island play a critical role in supporting U.S. Space Force operations and global aerospace missions. Infrastructure reliability in such remote locations is essential, as repairs or failures can have far-reaching consequences. By delivering a durable roofing system under extreme logistical constraints, JR&CO supported the resilience of vital defense infrastructure and demonstrated its capability to perform on a global stage.

Overview

Ascension Island marked JR&CO’s first OCONUS project. Completed in the summer of 2025, the work was finished in under two weeks to align with the project schedule and the island’s limited and inflexible flight availability. Because there was no access to the building prior to mobilization, the project depended heavily on pre-construction planning, existing drawings, and detailed coordination. Months of preparation were required to secure permits, clearances, specialized training, and early barge shipments for all materials and equipment.


Working with FiberTite Roof Systems, JR&CO developed and value-engineered a roofing system suited to the island’s environmental conditions. Several unforeseen structural and site-specific issues were encountered during installation, requiring on-site adjustments. The project was completed on schedule with no change orders. Before departing, the team also conducted complimentary evaluations of nearby facilities to support the client’s long-term maintenance planning. This project provides a clear example of JR&CO’s ability to manage and execute work in remote and logistically constrained environments.
