Arizona Tribune - Smith-Midland Secures $2.2M Contract for Newport News Navy Project

The award further strengthens Smith-Midland's position in the architectural precast market while expanding its portfolio of projects serving government, industrial, and mission-critical infrastructure. By manufacturing the project at its Virginia facility, the company continues to leverage its regional production capabilities to deliver high-quality precast solutions throughout the Mid-Atlantic.

"This contract demonstrates the value of delivering complete precast solutions for facilities where durability, performance, and construction efficiency are essential," said Matthew Smith, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Smith-Midland Corporation. "We're proud to support Hourigan Construction and Newport News Shipbuilding on a facility that will play an important role in supporting the U.S. Navy. Projects like this reinforce Smith-Midland's long-term strategy of expanding our presence in mission-critical, government, and industrial construction while showcasing the versatility and performance of our SlenderWall^® and architectural precast systems."

The project features SlenderWall^® insulated architectural precast panels fabricated with a custom color design and an acid-etched architectural surface, delivering a durable, low-maintenance exterior while offering the speed and efficiency of prefabricated construction. Smith-Midland will also manufacture architectural precast elements, including precast stair towers and stair risers, providing an integrated solution that helps streamline construction while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship.

The new facility will support U.S. Navy aircraft carrier inactivation programs, providing a dedicated operational headquarters and workspace for shipbuilders and naval personnel responsible for one of the nation's most critical defense missions. Working with Hourigan Construction, Smith-Midland will manufacture the precast products at its Midland, Virginia, facility, with production scheduled to begin in October 2026 and installation expected to commence in November 2026.
