When the U.S. Department of State had an urgent need for facilities expansion and protection at regional embassy sites in Iraq, Perini Management Services (PMSI) was awarded the first task order for the Consulate General in Basrah. PMSI installed and repaired containerized housing units and protected them with anti-ballistic Overhead Coverage structures. PMSI also constructed perimeter walls, guard booths and entry control facilities, as well as all associated infrastructure (water, power, site lighting, roadways, parking and helipad), a dog kennel with training yard and a vehicle maintenance structure.
