Roosevelt Roads Infrastructure
The LRA currently owns and operates all of the infrastructure and utility
systems at FNSRR. This presents a unique opportunity for interested
utility developers
General
Infrastructure
Overview
Existing infrastructure at Roosevelt Roads was developed throughout
60+ years to satisfy the demands of low density, military uses
Existing infrastructure requires update and major modifications in
order to support current operations in FNSRR and set the
groundwork for the master planned multi-use redevelopment
The investment for these upgrades has been estimated at
$150-$200 million dollars
Potential Infrastructure Projects
Main infrastructure components at FNSRR include:
Roads and Access
Potable Water
Distribution System
Sanitary Collection
System
None Existing
Telecommunication System
Power Distribution
System
Roosevelt Roads Infrastructure - Roads and Access
STATE ROADS
• FNSRR connects the municipalities of Naguabo and Ceiba mainly through the state
roads PR-3 and PR-53
Roads and Access
• Roads are in excellent condition and have the sufficient capacity to meet the
required development capacity for the next 25 years
FNSRR ROADS
• The Interior of the FNSRR contains over 100 miles of main and secondary roads
• Most of them are in good condition. In general most of the existing roads can be
repaired by patching or paving certain areas
ACCESS
• In the past, the access points to FNSRR were through four main gates: 1, 2, 3 and 4
• Gate 1 is the current and main entrance that connects FSNRR with PR #3 on the north
• For security reasons, all other gates are currently closed
Roosevelt Roads Infrastructure – Potable Water Distribution System
WATER INTAKE
Water Distribution System
FNBRR is completely
independent of PRASA
• WI for the water system takes place in the Rio Blanco River of Naguabo, via a 27” diameter
pipe that is connected to a lift station pump that directs the water to the reservoir located at
the base
WATER FILTRATION PLANT
• The WFP filtrates and distributes the potable water throughout the FNSRR
• It is comprised of aeration, sedimentation tanks and sand filters
It consists of three main
components:
A. Water Intake
B. Water Filtration Plant
C. Distribution System
• It has enough capacity to fulfill the estimated water demand for the future development for
over 25 years
DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
• It has over 64 miles of pipelines, seven pumping stations and a Storage tank among other
components
• Actual condition of this system is fair. Current tenants are being served with this system
Roosevelt Roads Infrastructure – Sanitary Collection System
• FNSRR has its own used water treatment system
Treatment Plants and
Sanitary Collection
System
• It consists of a network of:
 Approximately 32 miles of pipes that collect the sanitary discharge by gravity
 Approximately 9.5 miles of force lines
 28 pumping stations
 Which converge in three independent water treatment plants:
 Bundy,
 Forrestal
 Capehart
• All three treatment plants are currently non-operational
• All sewer and sanitary components, such as manholes and piping systems, are in
good condition
• All current sanitary collection is managed by sanitary extraction trucks
Roosevelt Roads Infrastructure – Power Distribution System
• All the electrical infrastructure and components within FNSRR are property of the LRA
Power Distribution
System
• There are 11 substations (of various capacities) in FNSRR. Substation “India” is the
only one currently operational
• “India” supplies the electrical load for all current operations within FNSRR
• Power is supplied by the Puerto Rico Electrical & Power Authority (PREPA) from the
Daguao Station
• Power is supplied by two main lines of 38kv that enter the base via Gate 3 to
substation “India”
• “India” distributes power to the different tenants using 13.2kv lines that run
from Forrestal to Langley Road
