The Daily Dig:
In May 2025, Nammo advanced construction on a new rocket motor factory in Perry, Florida, as the effort moved from the design phase into construction. The company says the facility will expand manufacturing capability at the Perry site and strengthen domestic U.S. rocket motor production supporting U.S. and allied defense programs.
Recently announced, Hensel Phelps was selected as the general contractor for the new facility. Nammo also states the contract will be managed by its partner Parsons Corporation, and the project is supported by Franklin Engineering Group alongside Parsons.

TheJobWalk Thoughts:
There are a lot of hands on this one, and that's where things can get messy. When contract management goes through a partner instead of the owner directly, your decision chain gets longer, and if that chain isn't buttoned up, momentum dies in the field. The crews that do well on jobs like this are the ones who stay on top of documentation, don't let change orders drift, and keep sequencing locked down tight.
