STV, in joint venture, was contracted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to provide a broad range of design services for the landmark transformation of Fort Drum from a training camp into a major U.S. Army installation. This program was mandated to accommodate the formation of the 10th Mountain Infantry Division. The firm designed all new roads and drainage, as well as water supply and distribution, sanitary collection and treatment systems, an electrical substation, a base-wide security building, and a high-temperature hot water system. 

This dramatic initiative encompassed 107,000 acres, which needed to accommodate an additional 25,000 people. At the time it was the largest single construction project in the history of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District and STV was awarded the largest of the nine contracts.
