Engineering & Program Management.

Builder & Acceptance Trials.

D&W provides marine engineering oversight during builder's trials and acceptance trials on domestic new-build vessels — leveraging deep experience as merchant mariners who have stood watches, run plants, and signed off on systems that have to work.

• Engineering presence during builder's trials and shakedown
• System acceptance witnessing and discrepancy resolution
• Plant operations validation and procedure review
• Crew familiarization and turnover documentation
• Post-trial reporting and lessons-learned capture

Maritime Maintenance Engineering.

Our Navy Port Engineers support U.S. naval vessels domestically and abroad, plus Foreign Military Sales platforms operated by partner nations. The team is built from former military personnel — chiefs, officers, and warrants who've done this work in uniform first.

We're the engineering eyes that catch what others miss, and the institutional memory that survives crew rotations.

• Port engineer presence on naval and FMS platforms
• Pre- and post-availability planning and oversight
• Repair-package development and shipyard interface
• Condition assessments and reliability data capture
• Cross-deployment continuity across crew turnover cycles

Waterfront Maintenance Management.

Pierside maintenance management for naval and commercial waterfront facilities — coordinating work between vessel crews, ship-repair facilities, and supporting contractors. Our waterfront managers are the single point of accountability for what gets done, by whom, by when.

• Pierside maintenance scheduling and execution oversight
• Coordination with vessel crews and visiting ship-repair teams
• Work-package development, prioritization, and sequencing
• Quality assurance and inspection on completed work
• Reporting and metrics for waterfront program leads

Facilities Management.

Operations and maintenance of waterfront facilities, dry docks, shore-side infrastructure, and support buildings — keeping the physical assets ready for the missions they support, from HVAC and electrical to grounds and contractor oversight.

• Facility O&M planning and execution
• Building systems maintenance (HVAC, electrical, fire suppression)
• Grounds, paving, and infrastructure upkeep
• Contractor management and oversight
• Compliance and inspection readiness

Logistics Management.

Supply-chain, parts-movement, and depot-interface management for naval sustainment programs — keeping the right parts at the right place at the right time so platforms stay operational. We coordinate OEM logistics, parts forecasting, and depot returns across CONUS and OCONUS theaters.

• Parts forecasting and demand planning
• OEM coordination and depot interface
• Spare-parts logistics and inventory management
• Material-flow optimization for sustainment programs
• OCONUS logistics support for forward-deployed teams

Reliability-Centered Maintenance.

RCM matches each critical system to the most cost-effective maintenance strategy that delivers required reliability — across organizational, intermediate, and depot levels. We design programs that maximize uptime without over-spending on schedule-driven work that doesn't reduce risk.

• RCM analysis on mission-critical equipment and systems
• Failure-mode characterization and consequence assessment
• Maintenance strategy selection (condition-based, time-based, run-to-failure)
• O-, I-, and D-level maintenance program design and rollout
• Reliability data analytics and program tuning over time

Program Management.

Naval-program-grade program management discipline — schedule, budget, technical performance, and stakeholder coordination — applied to task orders, IDIQ work, and standing sustainment contracts.

• Cost, schedule, and technical performance management
• Risk register development and active risk burn-down
• Government program-office interface and monthly status reporting
• Subcontractor and teaming-partner coordination
• EVM-aware planning and execution where required
