Description
The Tinian Construction Capacity Study assesses the capacity of the island of Tinian and the CNMI to support construction projects. The study evaluates the existing state of infrastructure, including roadways, harbor/port, fuels, utilities, solid waste, labor, equipment, materials, and workforce housing. The study also discusses environmental constraints and potential regulatory bottlenecks. The study analyzes four construction thresholds: $100 million, $200 million, $300 million, and $400 million.
• Roadways: The existing traffic levels on Tinian are low, and the traffic capacity of a two-lane road can range from around 400 veh/day to over 16,000 veh/day.
• Harbor/Port: The harbor was originally constructed in 1944 and 1945 and has undergone several repairs and improvements since its original construction.
• Fuels: The study does not provide detailed information on fuels.
• Utilities: The study evaluates the capacity of utilities, including electrical, telecommunications, water, and wastewater.
• Solid waste: The existing solid waste facility is a non-compliant facility and would not be utilized for disposing of construction material.
• Labor, Equipment, Materials, and Workforce Housing: The study estimates the labor, equipment, and materials needed for each construction threshold.
