4.7 InfrastructureEach of the units involved in vessel maintenance occupy buildings of differing sizes and functionality, e.g. workshops, stores, office space. The costs related to these buildings for the purpose of the Review were defined as expenditure on upgrades and utilities. The next two sections identify the costs that relate to Naval Service vessel maintenance. 4.7.1 Capital Upgrades of InfrastructureDuring the period of the Review, two capital infrastructural projects were undertaken. In 2003, a new Naval Service Tech Stores was built costing €3,004,848 and in 2006, the FSG Mast House was upgraded to accommodate maintenance of the RIBs on the two newer vessels costing €820,088. It was not deemed appropriate that any of these costs would be apportioned for the purpose of the Review due to the estimated useful life of the upgrades.
During the period of the Review, there were upgrades to the building infrastructure occupied by maintenance units. The costs of infrastructure upgrades are outlined in Figure 4.5 and Table 4.10 below for the relevant years of the Review. Figure 4.5 Infrastructure Upgrade Costs 2003 - 2006 
Table 4.10 Current Infrastructure Upgrade Costs 2003 - 2006
The expenditure in 2003 relates to the upgrade of the FSG Workshops with the expenditure in 2004 relating to refurbishment of the Riggers Workshop (MENDY). It should be noted that although all current expenditure projects occurred within the period of the Review thus contributing to the cost of maintenance, the benefit of these infrastructural improvements will last well beyond the period under review.
Utility costs were estimated for the period of the Review based on the area (m²) of the building each unit occupies. A flat rate for utilities was used which gave consistent costs for each year. Table 4.11 below outlines the utility costs for each unit involved in maintenance. Table 4.11 Utility Costs 2003 – 2006
4.8 Cost OverviewTotal Costs for Naval Service vessel maintenance are outlined in Table 4.12. Table 4.12 Overall Naval Service Vessel Maintenance Costs for 2006.
