Saipan and Rota Airport Inspection Facilities, CNMI
Federal team delivers international airport project in Saipan and Rota Airports, Northern Mariana Islands
Gilbane’s collaborative project team incorporated input from numerous stakeholders to produce a cost-effective, buildable design that accounted for the CNMI’s remote location and available resources. Weekly coordination calls were held with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and the CBP during the design to resolve outstanding issues and minimize rework during construction. Gilbane achieved a $2 million cost savings for the Government by using available space within the primary arrival area for the placement of an administration section instead of building an additional structure.
