Southport, North Carolina
Description: The Sunny Point facility opened in 1955, covering 16,000 acres with 212,000 square feet of building space, is the key ammunition shipping port on the Atlantic Coast and the largest in the nation. Operated by the 597th Transportation Group for the Department of Defense includes a massive undeveloped buffer zone and huge sand berms for safety due to the worldwide trans-shipment of DOD ammunition, explosives, and other dangerous cargo. Sunny Point is the exclusive DOD terminal equipped to handle containerized ammunition. CESI was hired by Black & Veatch to locate lightning protection points at various sites on the Military Ocean Terminal at Sunny Point. Our crew members were required to get security clearance before entering sensitive areas where they were escorted by armed officials.

Services:	Asbuilt surveys of lightning protection systems at ammunition storage pads, transfer stations, rail yard storage points and shipping wharfs.
