Skanska has won work tied to further waterfront infrastructure expansion at a Rhode Island Naval Station, according to Engineering News-Record.

The project centers on a new pier that will be built with a higher deck elevation to accommodate projected sea level rise.

The source identifies the location as Rhode Island and places the report on Oct. 7, 2026.

No additional project value, schedule, or client detail was provided in the source material beyond the ENR report and the company name.

The information comes from Engineering News-Record, which reported the project win.

Why it matters for AEC

A pier designed around projected sea level rise signals waterfront work with elevation and resilience requirements already built into the scope. That can affect marine civil design, detailing, and construction sequencing on similar defense or port projects.

What this signal may mean for staffing or delivery capacity

This project win may add to Skanska’s operational workload on waterfront and marine work, and it could warrant monitoring for technical delivery capacity as the pier scope moves ahead.
