Cummins-Wagner Project with Arnold Air Force Base

The Arnold Air Force Base published an article, Tunnel 9 avoids downtime with Containerized Vacuum System, detailing a project we are proud to have had a part in.

“The success of this project was a result of the tremendous effort put forth by the entire team,” Fredrick said. “This includes the Tunnel 9 System Engineers and Engineering Technicians, the Air Force Project Managers, the safety team, the contracting officers, Huang-Gaghan personnel, Airtech/Cummins-Wagner, and everyone else who provided support.”

The primary purpose of the CVS is to reduce pressure in the Vacuum Sphere to levels at which test operations can be performed. The CVS was installed at Tunnel 9 late last year to fill in for a compressor that went down in the Tunnel 9 Vacuum Compressor Plant. (U.S. Air Force photo by Nicholas Fredrick)
