WATSONVILLE, Calif. - Granite Construction, in partnership with Obayashi Corporation, has secured a contract worth approximately $97 million from the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to enhance the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Polaris Point, Guam. The project, which is funded by the Department of Defense (DOD), will be reflected in Granite’s first-quarter Capital Projects Acquisition (CAP) as the consolidating partner. The contract adds to Granite’s robust $4 billion revenue stream, with the company showing strong revenue growth of 14.2% in the last twelve months, according to InvestingPro data.
The joint venture’s work will encompass the construction of a 17,000 square foot facility, including site work necessary to accommodate the BESS and a microgrid controller. This system will integrate with the current electrical grid, aiming to supply clean power to future Naval installations on the island.
Granite’s Vice President of Regional Operations, Curt Haldeman, expressed that the initiative is set to bolster the company’s growth in the Pacific region, particularly in Guam. He highlighted the project’s significance in strengthening Granite’s strategic position and expanding its portfolio in battery energy storage and microgrid solutions.
The company, which has operated since 1922 and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker NYSE:GVA, emphasizes its commitment to supporting the Navy’s objectives and contributing to sustainable and reliable energy infrastructure.
Construction on the BESS facility is scheduled to commence on March 20, 2025, with an anticipated completion date in June 2028. Granite, known as America’s Infrastructure Company™, maintains a reputation for high ethical standards, safety, quality, and sustainability in the construction and construction materials industry.
