SPRINGFIELD, Va., Nov. 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Air Force Center for Engineering and the Environment announced it has contracted Versar Inc. for construction support on operations in Kuwait.

The Virginia-based company is a professional services firm supporting national defense and homeland security programs. Under the $450,000 contract, Versar will supply construction management and quality assurance personnel for AFCEE operations in Kuwait.

AFCEE also announced Versar has been contracted to support the repairing of the Mosul Dam in Iraq. Versar will support the enhanced grouting program with geotechnical support under a task order totaling $320 thousand.

The AFCEE's task orders will both be managed by Versar's international operations, VIAP.

"The continued expansion of Versar's international activities both in technical scope and geographic penetration is a result of our successful efforts to diversify our international business," Ted Prociv, Versar president and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"This diversity lays the foundation of our continued future growth and increased profitability. VIAP leadership and staff are excited to continue to be a critical part of the development of the Middle East."
