CKItr, UCJl:KW 11 UN Vr, F'Kuir-u I HNU KCLCVHNUL i v i nia uuN i "u i tincivae scope, sr, <br />The Waikiki Aquarium is the second oldest operating public aquarium in the <br />U.S., have been operating out of its current facility since 1955. Oceanit was <br />contracted by the University of Hawaii to analyze the Aquarium wastewater <br />systems and develop a comprehensive process water system redesign with the <br />goal to ensure compliance with increasing environmental regulatory <br />requirements and future expansion and improvements. Evaluation and redesign <br />of the wastewater systems involved assessment of the electrical system, <br />mechanical systems, local geology, and biological life support systems. <br />Additionally, all infrastructure improvements will be designed to accommodate <br />future displays and other upgrades. Challenges included navigating a stringent <br />regulatory environment, coordinating investigations during COVID restrictions, <br />specifying proper state of the art water treatment and life support equipment, <br />and working within the limitations of aging infrastructure. <br />Oceanit managed a large team of subcontractors for this complicated project, including mechanical <br />engineers, electrical engineers, hydrogeologists, geotechnical engineers, surveyors, aquarium and water <br />quality specialists, architects, pipe surveyors, and aquarium life support systems specialists. Coordination <br />and communication challenges with such a large subcontractor team was compounded as the there were <br />also multiple groups representing the client input, including the University of Hawaii, Waikiki Aquarium, and <br />donors to the aquarium. The Oceanit team was integral in maintaining lines of communication within and <br />between groups, coordinating with regulators, and keeping the project moving and everyone on the same <br />page. <br />Oceanit's deliverables included a Water System <br />Upgrade Plan, Basis of Design Report, Compliance <br />Monitoring Plan, and other necessary components for <br />Federal, State, and County permit regulations. <br />Oceanit will oversee construction of the multi -million - <br />dollar infrastructure improvement project. <br />25.
