Pump Station End UserJoint Base Andrews, commonly known as “America’s Airfield,” is a major U.S. Air Force installation in Prince George’s County, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. It is home to the 89th Airlift Wing and serves as the primary operating base for presidential aircraft, including Air Force One, supporting senior government leaders, foreign dignitaries, and critical airlift missions. |
The Challenge:
Joint Base Andrews in Prince George's County, Mayland was experiencing persistent water pressure issues across the base, with particular impacts occurring on the east side of the area. Pressure fluctuations were raising concern for day-to-day operational use, as well as long-term performance of the system. Given the nature of the installation, the base identified the need for a dedicated water booster solution that could stabilize pressure, improve distribution, and support reliability moving forward.
The Solution:
To remedy the identified pressure issues, Dipardo and Cole selected Excel Fluid Group based on a prior working relationship at Andrews Air Force Base and the advantages of Excel’s prefabricated pump station approach. Consistent collaboration on the base established a precedent for communication, coordination, and delivery for projects involving Andrews. Familiarity with processes allowed for Excel to move efficiently through the planning and implementation stages, supporting a streamlined delivery process with a prepackaged system. In early Q2 2026, Excel deployed a field team to Maryland to perform start up on the water booster pump station and verify system operation. Upon completion, consistent pressure was restored throughout the affected areas of the airfield.
