El Centro, CA — Westcon Construction Services is partnering with federal prime contractors to deliver structural and containment concrete that supports ongoing modernization at Naval Air Facility (NAF) El Centro. Recent local reporting has spotlighted base upgrades—most visibly a new, state-of-the-art firehouse replacing WWII-era buildings—signaling sustained investment in resilient, mission-critical facilities. Westcon’s work aligns with that momentum by strengthening fuel handling and safety infrastructure. (Calexico Chronicle)
Our scope includes containment basins, equipment pads, pipe support foundations, and protective bollards engineered for jet-fuel environments and rigorous NAVFAC specifications. Placement sequencing coordinates with airfield and security needs; each pour undergoes submittal-backed QC including slump/air tests, temperature logs, and cylinder breaks. The goal: robust, low-maintenance concrete that performs under heavy loads, temperature swings, and chemical exposure.
Local coverage around the firehouse milestone underscores a broader theme—modern facilities that protect people and assets while integrating with regional responders. Westcon’s work contributes to that posture by improving the reliability and safety margins of fueling systems used daily by Navy crews and mutual-aid partners. It’s the kind of unseen infrastructure that keeps air operations ready and compliant, day in and day out. (Calexico Chronicle)
With each completed placement, NAF El Centro advances a modernization cycle that benefits the base and the wider Imperial Valley. Our team is proud to support that mission with the disciplined field execution federal projects demand. (Calexico Chronicle)
