These structures will be built with reinforced concrete for the frames, walls, floors, roofs, and shallow foundations.
The development will include facilities such as an auto organisation shop, an electrical/communications maintenance shop, organic storage, a vehicle wash rack, and a vehicle laydown area.
Construction is scheduled to commence next month, with an anticipated completion date in January 2027.聽聽
This initiative represents the second construction effort by Granite at MCCB.
Granite Regional Operations vice-president Curt Haldeman said: 鈥淲e are honoured to continue our partnership with NAVFAC [Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command] Pacific on this critical mission.聽
鈥淭his contract not only strengthens our relationship with NAVFAC Pacific but also reinforces our role as a key contributor to the successful realignment of Marines from Okinawa to Guam.鈥�
Last year, Granite secured a contract from NAVFAC Pacific to construct buildings and infrastructure at the site.
This project helped the US Marines relocate from Japan to MCCB.
