Falken USVI is profoundly proud to announce that it has been selected by the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority (WAPA) as the official partner for their comprehensive security program. This pivotal contract entrusts our team with safeguarding the islands’ most critical infrastructure—the systems responsible for delivering reliable water and electric power to residents and businesses across St. Thomas, St. Croix, and St. John. This significant award underscores our proven capability to manage high-stakes security operations and reinforces our commitment to supporting the resilience of vital public services in challenging and geographically unique environments.
The scope of work encompasses a threat-informed approach to security, integrating advanced physical measures at generation and treatment facilities with robust, layered physical security defenses against evolving physical threats. Given the unique logistical and infrastructural challenges inherent to protecting essential services in the islands, our strategy is meticulously designed to prioritize operational continuity and strict regulatory compliance. Our deep expertise in developing customized, resilient solutions for island-based and geographically distributed utilities was a key factor in this selection, ensuring that WAPA’s foundational services remain uninterrupted and impervious physical vulnerabilities.
We view this contract not merely as a project, but as the initiation of a long-term, strategic partnership with WAPA and a deep dedication to the security and prosperity of the entire USVI community. Our specialized teams are already mobilizing to implement the initial phases of the security enhancement plan, collaborating closely with WAPA’s operational personnel to ensure a seamless transition and immediate strengthening of their security posture. We are grateful for the Authority’s trust and look forward to contributing to the stability and economic vitality of the Virgin Islands by ensuring their utility infrastructure is protected now and for generations to come.
