SAFE Structure Designs, a specialized U.S. engineering and manufacturing firm, has delivered a custom-built pump testing facility for the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Borinquen, strengthening maritime rescue capabilities in the Caribbean. The facility, announced March 30, 2026, provides mission-critical infrastructure for maintaining the pump systems that support MH-60 helicopter maritime response operations. The pump testing capability is essential for ensuring rescue aircraft remain operationally ready for emergency deployments. 'This project represents the kind of specialized infrastructure investment that directly supports Coast Guard personnel in their lifesaving maritime missions,' according to the project announcement via PR Newswire. Air Station Borinquen, located in Puerto Rico, serves as a strategic hub for U.S. Coast Guard operations throughout the Caribbean and Atlantic regions.

The firm's focus on custom design for high-reliability applications positions it to meet the stringent operational requirements of military and government agencies. The project highlights ongoing infrastructure modernization within the Coast Guard's aviation assets, particularly critical as maritime rescue operations continue to evolve with changing ocean conditions and increasing operational demands in U.S. territorial waters.
