TUNNEL CONSTRUCTION STARTS ON HONOLULU WASTEWATER PROJECT

摘要

Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell announced the start of tunnel construction for the City and County of Honolulu's Kaneohe-Kailua Gravity Sewer Project, on February 13. The three-mile (4.8km) line running mostly under Oneawa Hills is a gravity sewer tunnel that will convey wastewater flows and store wastewater to prevent overflows and spills. Tunnelling will start at the Kailua treatment plant, approximately 62ft (18.9m) below ground, and the tunnel will be approximately 35ft (10.67m) below ground at the Kaneohe Pretreatment Facility. The contract for the Kaneohe-Kailua gravity sewer tunnel project was awarded to the joint venture group of Southland Contracting, Inc. and Mole Construction, Inc. (Southland Mole JV) and the construction management contract was awarded to local construction management firm Bowers + Kubota.
