Tetra Tech helps defense clients strategically optimize their built environment to support budget advocacy and allocate scarce resources to the right asset at the right time.
Climate change, sustainability, and resilience are global priorities for our defense clients around the world. Our clients need a mission-focused built infrastructure that minimizes environmental impact, maximizes sustainability, and achieves regulatory mandates and goals.

We approach each project with the full planning life cycle in mind and are committed to developing comprehensive strategic portfolio investment plans.
Tetra Tech is at the forefront of innovative planning, asset optimization, and the design of resilient solutions. We listen and work with each client to create a responsive, detailed, visionary, and achievable plan for installation investments. We have a wide range of state-of-the-art data collection and analytical tools to collect, compile, review, and interpret data; analyze lifecycle costs; and define asset performance requirements. Leveraging more than 30 years of proven experience employing our Tetra Tech Delta technology solutions, we provide services for the entire asset life cycle:
Tetra Tech deploys multidisciplinary teams to complete asset inventory and condition assessments that enable our clients to analyze their performance and health. We combine assessment data with real-world data from interviews with facility and utility management personnel to analyze each facility’s or utility's historical wellness, system reliability, recent and planned repairs or replacements, and the impact of preventative maintenance programs. Our experts use condition, performance, cost, probability/consequence of failure, and risk information to inform the entire asset portfolio. We work with our clients to identify opportunities to maximize investment and create a cohesive strategy to optimize their infrastructure. Tetra Tech is a leader implementing BUILDER Sustainment Management System for facility condition assessments for the U.S. Department of Defense.
