Engineering Mastery CelebratedFive construction projects in Hawaii were rec-

ognized for engineering mastery in the 2011Engineering Excellence Awards sponsored bythe American Council of EngineeringCompanies of Hawaii (ACECH), illustratingengineers’ motto, “What we do is all aroundyou.”

First prize, the Grand Conceptor Award, wasgiven to Hawaii Preparatory Academy andengineering firm Belt Collins Hawaii for the BigIsland high school’s new energy lab, which wasdesigned as a science building dedicated tothe study of alternative energy that would alsofunction as a zero-net energy, fully-sustainablebuilding.

Second place, the Excellence Award, waspresented for the Keolu Drive and WanaaoRoad sewer reconstruction project, engineeredby Sato & Associates; Yogi Kwong Engineersand Bowers+Kubota Management. Honorablementions were given for the University ofHawaii lower campus quarry wall stabilizationproject engineered by AECOM; the KonaCommunity Development Plan designed byWilson Okamoto Corporation; and the Kapaa-Kealia Bike and Pedestrian Path engineered byAkinaka & Associates, Ltd.

Energy LabHawaii Preparatory Academy’s energy lab

was designed to meet the Living BuildingChallenge standards that require 100% ForestStewardship Council-certified lumber and atight radius restriction on sourcing of materials.The lab’s remote site made this challengingand created a tight project schedule.

During construction classroom work bencheswere created from leftover building materials;all excavated material was reused within thesite area and vegetative matter was chipped foruse as mulch. On the completed building, allwater used is collected from the roof and storedfor a net-zero water use system, making thebuilding independent of the county water sys-tem. The entire construction project met a 90%waste reduction/diversion/recycling goal.

Sewer in KailuaThe reconstruction of 7,000 feet of a major

trunk sewer in the middle of dense residentialand commercial development in Kailua, Oahu,combined the often conflicting demands ofenvironmentally sensitive wetlands; canal andstream crossings; poor soil conditions and con-cerns of neighboring homeowners and busi-

nesses. Yogi KwongEngineers met thesechallenges by usinginnovations in trench-less technology.

Rocking the WallSixty years of blast-

ing and mining for“blue rock” atUniversity of Hawaii’sLower CampusQuarry created apotential rockfall haz-ard for people usingthe adjacent parkingand athletic facilities.Engineering firmAECOM draped awire mesh systemreinforced with aninterwoven cable andsculpted shotcrete forswales to conveystorm water down thesteep quarry wallface.

“Engineering”Kona’s Vision

The Kona Com-munity DevelopmentPlan, engineered byWilson OkamotoCorporation, is along-range planthrough year 2020encompassing ap-proximately 800square miles of thedistricts of North andSouth Kona.

The plan coa-lesced concerns overKona’s rapid growth;alleviating traffic con-gestion; providingaffordable housing;and Leadership in Energy and Environmental(LEED) design of buildings.

Off the Beaten PathAkinaka & Associates, Ltd. and Jas W.

Glover, Ltd. brought to life the County of Kauai’svision of a multi-use path for residents and vis-itors to engage in recreational activities along

the shore. The team faced extreme adverseweather conditions, encountered Hawaiian bones,(“iwi”) and a land mine during construction.

The 4.3-mile long and 12-foot wide section of“Ke Ala Hele Makalae” (The Path that Goes bythe Coast) is Americans with Disability Act-compliant and has made the area from Kapaato Kealia accessible to all.

Architects of Hawaii were hosted by theHonolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) at theWaihe‘e water supply tunnel in Kahalu‘u on thewindward side of O‘ahu. The Waihe‘e tunnel isa unique civil engineering structure, the tunnelextends into the mountains approximately 1700feet, the tunnel splits and has two bulkheads atapproximately 1500 feet. These bulkheadstructures restore water-tightness of the natu-rally occurring rock dikes (a unique feature)and allow the water in the mountain to bestored and utilized during dry periods. A pres-sure gage in the outletpipe is how the BWSmonitors how muchwater is stored withinthe mountain. The sys-tem does not requireoutside power and uti-lizes the potential ener-gy due to gravitystored in the system tooperate. The Waihe‘etunnel was built in1951, for the SuburbanWater System, thatlater merged with theBWS. After sloshingthrough the tunnel,those that could stickaround enjoyed deli-cious grilled food,cold beverages, andsome social interac-tion.

less worry about in-place integrity.

Reduced BleedingFewer bleed channels decrease permeability and chemical attack.

Bleed streaking is reduced for architectural finishes.

Reduced Segregation Improved cohesiveness of fly ash concrete reduces segregation

that can lead to rock pockets and blemishes.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas

AND THEN THEY WERE THREE!Readers of last month’s (i.e., February 2011)

story have asked me why those who deridedHolmes Hall at the University of Hawaii back inthe early 1970s chose to call it “the red, whiteand blue elephant;” specifically why those par-ticular colors, they asked. The answer isembedded in several of my previous articles inthis series.

Red (a bright shade of it, in fact) was theoriginal color of the Liberman sculpture on thefront lawn as well as the rails and balustradesof the building, blue was the color of its win-dows and doors, and white was the color ofmost internal and external walls.

By now, the sculpture’s color has been trans-formed into a faded orange hue and the rails,along with the window trim of the building’sfacade on the Dole Street side, have been“toned down” (as one reader put it) to a brown-ish shade!

When first opened, the building was criti-cized for cost overruns, for a deficiency of ade-quate classroom, laboratory and office space,and for its low percentage (43%) of assignablespace.

The principal counter-arguments to thesenegative appraisals centered around the factthat office and classroom space and a collegeauditorium were planned for inclusion in a sec-ond (but never realized) building, whereas theopen lanais, I’ve heard repeated often, were adesign element selected by the architecturalfirm of Skidmore, Ownings & Merrit to impart a“Hawaiian sense of place” to the complex.

At any rate, and however realized, severespace limitations prevented the engineeringfaculty from moving into the new building all atonce, some room having been allocated to affil-iated units outside of engineering to boot. Forsome time, newly hired faculty members, suchas my colleague Peter H. P. Ho and I, led anomadic life, so to speak, being shuffledbetween temporary places!

Coupled with severe budget restrictions andhiring freezes, those were strained circum-stances, to say the least. At the risk of my beingindiscreet, I offer you a small example from myown experience as I recall being loudly belit-tled as “the peasant from the middle east” by afurious senior professor whose highly covetedand valued office complex space I wasassigned by the Assistant Dean to share! Icannot claim an aristocratic descent, mind you,and my birthplace, Cyprus, is not that far awayfrom the middle east (in fact, some maps I’veseen include it as part of the middle east), butit was the hostile tone and the lack of collegial-ity of it all that was bothersome to me!

Attempting to “do the best with what it had,”the college resorted to scavenging space,carving it out of existing areas such as thehydraulics and structures laboratories in a lessthan ideal state of affairs that persisted into the1990s, long after Peter left for a successfulcareer at the Honolulu Department ofTransportation Services.

It was not until 1997, when the Pacific OceanScience and Technology (POST) building wasdedicated, that any space were added to thegrowing college. Housing mostly the School ofEarth Science and Technology (SOEST), thePOST building occupies part of the lot wherethe second engineering building was to beerected decades ago.

According to college archives, when Holmes

Hall opened in 1972, the college consisted ofCivil, General, Electrical, Mechanical andOcean Engineering, the latter being strictly agraduate-level program established in 1966; asmall Center for Engineering Research (CER)had been morphed out of an inactive “paperorganization” called the Hawaii EngineeringExperimental Station to support the college’sever growing research agenda. GeneralEngineering was dissolved a year later, its fac-ulty and resources transferring to other depart-ments within the college.

During this time frame, the CER began tomake strides toward some large scale initia-tives. For example, in collaboration with Prof.Augustine Furumoto of the Hawaii Institute of

Geophysics, it proposed a joint U.S., Japaneffort to address the potential of geothermalenergy, according to a story in the June 9, 1972edition of the Honolulu Advertiser. About a yearlater, on December 3, 1974, the same newspa-per reported that a study sponsored by the Cityand County of Honolulu and conducted by theDirector of CER, Donald Grace, identified windas a potential nonpolluting energy source. WithDean John W. Shupe’s support, these initiativesled to the establishment of the Hawaii NaturalEnergy Laboratory (HNEI) within the College in1974, an interdisciplinary enterprise that gen-erated significant attention and external fund-ing.

TRIG-STAR PROGRAM REPORTby Kevin Kea, PLS

The 2011 high school math competition is offto a great start. We have 30 schools who havesigned up to participate this year from acrossOahu, the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, and Molokai.Last year we had 20 schools signed up so theprogram is definitely growing, so is the excite-ment. The great thing I like about the Trig-Starprogram is the fact that we get to introduce theteachers and students to the world of survey-ing. They quickly learn that the math andtrigonometry learned thru their high schoolyears does indeed have practical applicationfor a surveying profession which is obtainable.The program is also complimented by a $3,000HLSA scholarship fund for all participants whowish to pursue a degree in land surveying, thenfollowed up by a $5,000 NSPS scholarshipfund. The goal is to reach as many schools inour state and get them involved, like I men-tioned we’re off to a great start. HLSA is lookingfor sponsors for this program to support oneschool the cost $300.00, please contact myselfat [email protected] for more detailson how you can be a part of this great program.

When, as one of the top priorities of theUniversity’s President Albert J. Simone, severalresearch-oriented units were consolidated intoSOEST in 1988, both the Ocean EngineeringDepartment (now known as Ocean andResources Engineering) and HNEI wereabsorbed within the new school.

Ironically, when nearing its completion, thePOST building that houses much of SOEST hasbeen criticized for experiencing cost overruns,ending up with inefficient use of space, anddeficient laboratories. A story in the September7, 2000 edition of the now defunct Star Bulletinsaid “original construction costs of $37 millionhave climbed to nearly $52 million,” that “onlyfour of the eight floors were completed,” andthat there were “blunders” in constructing thelaboratories. Tracing what actually happenedand why is clearly beyond our scope here, butI think this repetitive kind of theme is what inmusic and literature is known as “leitmotif!”

Currently, Civil (renamed Civil &Environmental), Electrical, and MechanicalEngineering are the remaining academic unitswithin the College of Engineering. All threedepartments offer the Bachelor’s, Master’s andDoctoral degrees. Added to these are theresearch-oriented Hawaii Center for AdvancedCommunications and the research and educa-tion oriented Hawaii Space Flight Laboratory.
