Riley-Beaird Receives $15-Million In Contracts

From Newport News

W.E. Adams, president and gen- eral manager of Riley-Beaird, re- cently announced the receipt of con- tracts from Newport News Ship- building covering propulsion system equipment for the nuclear-powered

Nimitz Class aircraft carriers CVN 74 and 75. Equipment is scheduled for delivery in 1990 and 1992. Or- ders total approximately $15 mil- lion.

Similar equipment has previously been manufactured by Riley-Beaird for Newport News Shipbuilding.

Manufacturing of the equipment will require several of the large

Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) machining centers installed by Riley-Beaird in the past few years. Installation and utilization of

CNC equipment is a continuing long-term strategy to position the company for fabricating and ma- chining large and heavy metal com- ponents with critical tolerances.

These orders will provide con- tinuing employment for many works at Riley-Beaird during the next four years.

The Seaward dock fender.

If the U.S. Navy thinks it's good enough for the 1990's maybe it's good enough for your facility now.

The U.S. Navy chose Seaward dock fenders to protect Pier Zulu, in Charleston, S.C.This new 20 million dollar pier is the prototype of the

Navy's pier designsforthe 1990's. Seaward's fenders have also been installed on new i

Navy berthing facilities in California, ®|i

Florida, Virginia, Iceland, and the Philip- ^ pines.These fenders are being included in the design of new home port facilities and are being used in the upgrading of Navy docks around the world.

Seaward dock fenders are constructed of a tough, snag-free elastomer coating. And

Seaward's closed-cell foam center has a very high energy absorption capacity but a low reaction force.These fenders provide stand-off and safely cushion the impact of approaching vessels, whether they're tugboats or battleships.Yet Seaward dock fenders are as easy to install as they are rugged.

The U.S. Navy didn't settle for an ordinary fender to protect Pier Zulu. So why should you?
