Mission readiness on facilities built for a different mission.
The MILCON backlog is $144 billion. Your installation cannot wait.

Installations run mission-critical facilities on infrastructure that is decades old and underfunded, competing for the same constrained MILCON and FSRM dollars. We help DPW teams rank infrastructure risk by mission impact, so the ops center cooling system gets funded before the admin building parking lot.

Why installation infrastructure fails the mission first

Risk is not distributed evenly across an installation. It concentrates in the handful of buildings the mission actually depends on. Those buildings rarely get funded first.

C-1

Facility Condition Index ratings mask the concentration of risk in mission-critical buildings

An installation-wide FCI of Q3 hides that the SCIF cooling is failing, the ops center generator last tested clean 18 months ago, and the flight-line hangar roof is leaking onto avionics. Average scores bury mission risk.

FSRM

FSRM funding is consistently below OSD benchmarks

FSRM covers 80% of the sustainment model in a good year. That 20% gap compounds annually. After a decade, the backlog is not just deferred maintenance. It is deferred mission capability.

SCIF

SCIFs have zero tolerance for HVAC or power failures

A SCIF environmental control failure is not a comfort issue. It is a security incident. Equipment is removed, spaces are secured, and operations halt until the environment is requalified. The mission stops.

UFC 4-010

Unified Facilities Criteria impose blast, standoff, and anti-terrorism requirements on existing critical facilities

Retrofits to meet UFC 4-010-01 collide with mechanical and electrical upgrades that need wall penetrations and rooftop equipment changes. Every critical facility project has to reconcile mission, MILCON, and AT/FP criteria at once.

How Rivolq helps installation DPW teams

Mission-weighted risk

Score risk by mission criticality, not just FCI

We assign risk scores based on equipment condition and the mission dependency of the space it serves. A failing AHU in a Category 1 facility scores differently than the same AHU in a Category 4 building. The consequence is different.

MILCON justification

Build DD Form 1391 narratives backed by system-level data and mission impact

Every MILCON and FSRM request links to specific equipment degradation, the spaces affected, and the mission functions at risk. Garrison commanders see a story they can defend at the POM. Not a maintenance wish list.

Critical system tracking

Monitor SCIF cooling, ops center power, and other no-fail systems with dependency visibility

Mission-critical systems depend on chains of equipment that cross buildings and utility feeds. We map those chains so DPW teams see when a single component failure threatens a mission system. Before the incident report.

Energy resilience readiness

Align facility condition data with DoD energy resilience requirements

DoDI 4170.11 expects critical missions to ride through a 14-day utility disruption. We quantify generator reliability, fuel logistics, and microgrid readiness at the facility level. The resilience posture leadership reports up is supported by current data, not last year's commissioning.

Defense installation questions, answered.

Common questions from installation facilities, public works, and readiness teams evaluating Rivolq.

How does Rivolq prioritize infrastructure by mission impact?

Rivolq scores facility systems by failure risk and ties each to the mission it supports, so the ranking reflects what degrades readiness first — not just what is oldest. Garrison and service-level leadership get one prioritized picture of which infrastructure puts the mission at risk.

Can Rivolq support MILCON and sustainment funding requests?

Yes. Rivolq turns facility condition into dollar-quantified, defensible requests that show what each project costs, what failure would cost if deferred, and how work is sequenced — the kind of justification MILCON and sustainment, restoration, and modernization funding decisions require.

Does Rivolq replace our existing maintenance system?

It does not have to. Rivolq includes a full CMMS for work orders and preventive maintenance, but it can also import your existing asset register and work history and layer risk scoring and capital planning on top of the system your team already uses.

How long does an installation pilot take?

A scoped pilot typically runs about 90 days from the first installation to a capital plan you can take to leadership. Most teams start with one installation or one critical system to prove the workflow on real assets before expanding.

Prioritize infrastructure by mission impact.

Turn infrastructure condition into mission-readiness language that garrison and service-level leadership can act on.
