Hawaiian Electric Company,
Inc. (HECO) Lead Civil/Structural Engineer Sarie Uechi, P.E., M.ASCE, presents
technical design of the "Ford Island 46KV Subtransmission Line," Honolulu,
Oahu, Hawaii. |

HECO Project Manager Rodney
Chong, P.E., P.M.P., presents construction of the "Ford Island 46KV Subtransmission
Line." |

Excerpt from the November
2006 Wiliki O Hawaii
The Ford Island 46kV Subtransmission
Line is a two-mile, double circuit 46kV cross linked polyethylene (XLPE)
line extending from mainland Oahu to an electrical substation on Ford Island.
Approximately one mile of the line runs parallel to the Admiral Clarey
Bridge and is installed below the Pearl Harbor channel floor. For the first
time in Hawaii, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), a
technique normally utilized
to install civil utilities, was used to install underground subtransmission
electrical cables. HDD is a technique that involves drilling a pilot hole
underground, enlarging the drilled hole with a reamer, lubricating and
clearing the reamed hole with a swab, and specifically for this project,
finally pulling a steel casing through. In the Ford Island Project, two
36-inch diameter tunnels were created 65 feet under the Pearl Harbor channel
floor. |
 |
Through each tunnel, a 24-inch
diameter steel casing containing six high-density polyethylene ducts (3
for XLPE cable, 1 for spare, 1 for fiber optics, and 1 for ground wire)
was pulled back using a 750,000-pound drill rig. The project took nearly
four months to construct and is the longest continuous underground 46kV
installation in Hawaii and possibly one of the longest in the world. |

Alfred Yee, P.E., M.ASCE,
of Applied Technology Corporation presents the Black Construction Corporation
"Design/Build AEF-FOL Aircraft Maintenance Hangar," Andersen Air Force
Base, Guam. |
 |
Excerpt from the November
2006 Wiliki O Hawaii
The Design/Build AEF-FOL
Aircraft Maintenance Hangar is a $32.8M contract with the US Air Force
to design and build an earthquake and typhoon resistant, air-conditioned
aircraft maintenance facility. It will serve as the primary maintenance
site and shelter for aircraft crucial to the operations of the U.S. Air
Force. This innovative hanger project provides reliable shelter and an
air conditioned environment for B-2 and B-52 air craft maintenance. This
hangar is
also designed to support
“hard broke” B-1B, B-2, B-52, KC-135, F-22 aircrafts that cannot be flown
off island prior to a typhoon. |
