Protecting Critical Operations: Control Point Installation at a Major Military Base

Midwestern Air Force Base — In August 2025, utility crews were tasked with creating a new control point on an 8-inch water line running adjacent to the control tower and other key facilities at a large military base in the Midwest. The mission was clear: ensure water service reliability to the control tower while preparing the system for future operational flexibility.

The challenge was that without proper isolation, any system work risked cutting off water service to the control tower and surrounding base structures—a scenario that could disrupt essential base operations and mission readiness.
