Curtiss-Wright to supply pumps and valves for US Navy nuclear fleet

Curtiss-Wright Corporation has been awarded contracts valued at more than US$225 million by Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc (BPMI) to supply propulsion valves, pumps and instrumentation and control systems for three major US Navy nuclear-powered platforms.
The contracts cover the Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarine, Columbia-class submarine and Ford-class aircraft carrier programmes. The equipment will support ongoing ship construction and fleet maintenance activities.
The work is being undertaken across Curtiss-Wright’s Defense Electronics and Naval & Power segments, with engineering, manufacturing and testing taking place at its facilities in New York and Pennsylvania. Activities are already underway and are expected to continue through 2030.
“Curtiss-Wright is proud to provide mission-critical products that enhance the performance, reliability, and readiness of the US Navy’s nuclear fleet,” said Lynn Bamford, chair and CEO of Curtiss-Wright Corporation.
“The company maintains a longstanding partnership with the US Naval Nuclear Propulsion Program, consistently delivering highly engineered solutions that contribute to our nation’s strong defense capabilities. Furthermore, Curtiss-Wright remains well positioned to benefit from the administration’s continued strong funding for naval shipbuilding supporting the acceleration of production on its most critical platforms.”
The latest awards reinforce the company’s longstanding role in supporting the US Navy’s nuclear fleet and its ongoing shipbuilding and maintenance requirements.
