PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
This project is a privately developed potable deep well pump station and 1.0 million gallon tank located in Kailua-Kona,
Big Island. Upon completion, the facility was dedicated to the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply and become
an integral component of the Hawaii County Department of Water Supply’s North Kona Water System.
The project began with an exploratory deep well which proved to be of ample quantity and good safe drinking water
quality. The project then progressed to outfitting the well with a deep (1,800 feet) submersible pump of 1,100 gpm
capacity. Project involved the negotiating of water credits, study of an existing water system, analysis of an existing
water source, storage, transmission and distribution, hydrological study to determine possible water sources, drilling
and testing of exploratory well, drilling, testing and development of a production well and permitting.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
This project involved providing civil engineering support as well as project management for Google Inc. to deploy a
600kw Airborne Wind Turbine prototype on land owned and operated by Parker Ranch.
Phase 1: Analysis of site location and accessibility, environmental due diligence, community relations, identify
applicable regulatory agencies, engage agencies in discussion of the project and define the process
required in order to deploy the prototype and operate, if necessary.
Phase 2: Identify permits, geotechnical subsurface investigation, topographic survey, environmental compliance
Phase 3: Schedule for design process, drainage analysis, design access road, grading for foundation, design of
electrical system, plans and specifications for construction, community relations
Phase 4: Services during construction, support during testing of wind turbine, construction management

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
The objective of the project was to reorganize the water system and pipeline connecting Hanapepe and Ele’ele and
Hanapepe 6” waterline replacement.
The project included the installation of a new waterline along Kaumualii Highway to interconnect the Hanapepe and
Ele’ele water systems, preparation of a Preliminary Engineering Report (PER), design of piping on the bridge, design of
an emergency pump connection.
Portion of the waterline crosses the 1911 Hanapepe bridge (considered to be historic by the residents). Placement of the
waterline across the bridge would negatively impact the bridge and the bridge is part of a floodway under the
jurisdiction of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. In order to minimize the impact of the bridge, we
needed to work and obtain easements from private land owners and install a section of the waterline via horizontal
directional drilling.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
Design of a 52-lot subdivision in Waimanalo, Oahu. Improvements included lot grading, roadway design, design of
drainage, water and sewer systems to support the new subdivision.
Major challenges included the accommodation of the subdivision design on property within the FEMA flood zones. The
project also included limited services during construction including RFIs and submittal reviews, construction site visits
and the production of as-built plans.
The project included the design of a detention basin on stie with outlet to an existing stream and horizontal directional
drilling for the installation of a fiber optic line. Design elements included over 6,000 linear feet of sewer main and water
lines, 20 catch basins, 2 grate inlets and 3 pads for USPS mailbox clusters.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
This project was conducted in two phases: Planning & Design. The objective was to correct current structural and/or hy-
draulic deficiencies in a portion of sewer along Date Street.
Planning phase involved the study of 6,800 linear feet of sewer main (from 14” to 42” in diameter) via CCTV video and
the inspection of 42 manholes. Manhole and pipeline assessments were done via NASSCO’s MACP and PACP reports.
This phase also included the review of alternatives for rehabilitation and reconstruction and the development of a Design
Alternatives Report (DAR).
Design phase included the rehabilitation/reconstruction of 4,200 linear feet of sewer line along Date Street and the
installation of 1,860 linear feet of sewer line. In this phase, plans, specifications and cost estimates were required to
support the Design Alternatives Report (DAR).
