VOL. 44 NO. 5 SERVING 2000 ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS JULY, 2008
2008 ASME FRANCIS RHODES MONTGOMERY COMPETITIONThe “Attitude Control Unit for Cube Satellite”
was the winner of the 2008 Francis RhodesMontgomery Design Competition (FRMDC) heldin Room 127 of the Pacific Ocean, Science &Technology (POST) Building, University of Hawaiiat Manoa (UHM), on Friday, May 9, 2008 from1:00pm to 4:30pm. The second place winnerwas the “Land & Water Prosthetic Leg”, a projectthat benefited a patient at the RehabilitationHospital of the Pacific (REHAB); third place wentto the “Microchannel Optimization System”; androunding out the competition was the “AssistivePainting Device”, yet another project for theREHAB. Unlike previous competitions, therewere a total of twelve (12) teams entering thisannual competition which only featured powerpoint presentations due to the change in venue.
Since 1988, the student project teams of theDME ME 482 Senior Design Course competebefore a panel of practicing mechanical engineerjudges in an oral project presentation judged onthe basis of technical content, originality of con-cept, resolution of design problems, and effec-tiveness of the prototype.
The ASME Hawaii Section judges includeJames Grogan, Ron Flegal, Dean Watanabe, andRaymond Liu. James Grogan is a retired EnergyRecovery Engineer with the City & County ofHonolulu’s H-Power Plant; Ron Flegal is an
instructor in the Engineering and PhysicalSciences department at Leeward CommunityCollege; Dean Watanabe is a Program Managerwith the Navy Information Operations CommandHawaii, and Raymond Liu is a Project Managerwith Alaka’i Mechanical Corporation. In additionto the judges, representatives from theRehabilitation Hospital of the Pacific were inattendance asking questions on projects involv-ing the improvement of “assistive devices.”
Under the guidance of Professor RonaldKnapp, students developed their projects fromconcept to prototype to finished product. Thisyear’s competition was reminiscent of those dur-ing the early years as several entries involved pro-jects aimed at improving the designs of “assistivedevices” used by patients of the RehabilitationHospital of the Pacific. For abstracts of the pro-ject entries, please visit www.sections.asme.org/hawaii.
Mahalo...for helping to inspire the next generation of explorersThe Hawaii Council of Engineering Societies
hosted the 2008 post Engineering Week scienceand robotics demonstrations at Kahala Mall onMay 17, 2008, presented by the Hawaii SpaceGrant Consortium.
There were about 1000 children and parentswho participated in the 9 demonstrations pre-sented from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Four of thesewere robotics demonstrations by the award win-ning Waialua High Robotics team led by teacher,Glenn Lee. Five were science demonstrationprograms by Dale Olive, Waiakea High School,and Roger Kwok, Leeward Community College.In addition there were displays of the FIRSTrobotics program by Alex Ho, DBEDT/Hawaii’sFIRST robotics coordinator, and a hands on table(air pressure, center of gravity) hosted by theHawaii Space Grant Consortium.
Several families and children stay throughoutthe day, many who had been invited throughemails to schools and to participants in our otherSTEM programs.

Hawaii Company Received PrestigiousNSPE Professional Engineers in IndustryNew Product Award for 2008
Sopogy, Inc., a Honolulu based solar energysolutions provider specializing in MicroCSP solartechnologies recently received the 2008 NSPEPEI New Product Award. Sopogy’s winningproduct is their SopoNova4.0 – A MicroCSPTM(concentrated solar power) Solar Thermal solu-tion for distributed energy generation targetingIndustrial and Commercial-scale applications. Itis ideally suited for the 250kW to 20MW range ofpower and provides an industry leading low-costsolution.
So what is this MicroCSPTM Technology? TheMicroCSP solution is much smaller, making ithighly scalable and distributable to be locatednear industrial/commercial facilities. The tradi-tional CSPs, due to their enormous size, are typ-ically located in desert regions remote fromindustrial facilities. Most traditional solar cells(photovoltaics) serve the residential and smallcommercial up to 1MW and most utility-scaleCSP solutions serve the 50MW and higher mar-ket. SopoNova4.0 professes to be the onlyMicroCSP solution that addresses the 1MW to25MW market.
Sopogy has been invited to receive their awardat the NSPE Annual Conference in Portland,Oregon in July. A special Mahalo goes out toPEI Western & Pacific Region Vice-Chairpersonand long time Big Island Chapter member CurtisBeck for supporting Sopogy’s nomination.Congratulations once again to Dr. Al Yuen andthe folks at Sopogy for being named the recipi-ents of the 2008 NSPE PEI New Product Award.

Morishige, Pacific Islands OutreachCoordinator, NOAA Marine Debris Program Subject: “Talking Trash! - Marine debris inHawaii” Ms. Morishige gave an excellent pre-sentation on NOAA’s efforts to remove marinetrash from Hawaiian waters and actually all oceanwaters around our Nation. But her department inNOAA has only a staff of 10 people across thenation to accomplish this oceanic task! NOAAworks with fishermen and any volunteer groupsto clean coral reef and commercial fishermenpick up and bring back nets, fishing gear andanything else they find in the open ocean. Tonsand tons of material are brought back every yearmuch of the material is plastic and is burned atH-Power. She presented a picture of KanapouBeach on Kahoolawe which show the problem.One would think a beach on an uninhabitedisland would be pristine. The picture above showthis is not the case.

Annual Meeting SummaryThe Hawaii Section Annual Meeting was held
on April 24, 2008, at the Municipal Building.Based upon a tally of the votes received for the2008 elections, the following were elected as theincoming officers:
Don Hamada, PresidentSteven Yoshida, Vice PresidentHonglong Li, SecretaryRobert Nehmad, TreasurerAdditionally, Cathy Leong informed us that she
was appointed District 6 Student EndowmentFund Committee Chair. The committee is askingfor contributions to reach the Endowment Fundgoal of $500,000 to be self-sustaining in gener-ating $40,000 a year to fully fund all the endeav-ors undertaken by the Student InitiativesProgram. If every member pledged $75, wewould reach our goal.
The guest speakers were Abe Wong, FederalHighway Administration (FHWA) Administrator ofthe Hawaii FHWA Office and Jeff Chang for BrianSekeguchi, Deputy Director of HawaiiDepartment of Transportation (HDOT). Mr. Wongpresented an Update on Future FederalHighways Funding and Program. He touchedupon the TEA-21 and SAFETEA-LU Acts andinformed us that Highway Trust Fund is in fact,about to go into the negative. In 2006, whenSAFETEA-LU was passed, there was $16 billionwith a plan to sustain, but the estimates wereinaccurate in spending amounts and the raise ingas prices. He identified possible short termfixes with the most likely one being borrowingfrom the transit account, a request that hasalready been made in the President’s budget.
Mr. Chang showed us a video on the HNL(Honolulu International Airport) ModernizationProgram and identified the changes being madeat each of the seven (HNL, OGG, LIH, KOA, ITO,MKK, and LNY) State of Hawaii Airports. HNL isconstructing a new parking structure and isworking on a new international arrivals corridorwith the biggest concern being a replacement forthe Wiki Wiki Shuttle. A people mover or auto-mated people mover (APM) and moving walk-ways are probably the best alternatives for HNL.

2008-2009 ASME-HI OFFICERS &DIRECTORS
The new ASME year began July 1, and we aregrateful that all the officers and directors are stay-ing put for another term, except Raymond Liuhas stepped down from Chairman and Ed Changhas taken his place. Ray Liu had been Chairmansince July 2003, and he says it’s time for some-one else to get a turn. No one could convincehim to stay another year. Ray has done such aterrific job that we did not want him to step down.But, the truth is, no one else wanted to step in aschairman. And so, Ed Chang, past-chair 1993-1994, volunteered to fill the chairman position tokeep the section going.
Ed Chang became active in the Hawaii Sectionin 1989. His very first meeting was at GMPAssociates in the Davies Building. Sam Gillie, theincoming chairman, at that time, sponsored theGMP meeting place. Chester Kaitoku was theoutgoing chairman. James Grogan was veryactive being chairman of several committees.Larry Lamberth was the perennial Treasurer.
Since that 1989 beginning, James Grogan,Chester Kaitoku and Ed Chang have seen manyof our members hold offices for a while and thendisappear. In those days, it was common for amember to work his or her way up to chairpersonand hold the chairperson’s position for one yearonly. Nowadays, a chairperson is forced to servemore than one year because, we have to assumemost members are busy with his or her familyand job.
From GMP, our meeting place went to HECO’sHonolulu Power Plant, then to the NuuanuYMCA, and finally to our current resting place,the HECO Ward Avenue cafeteria. We thankHECO for providing us a place to meet.
The goal of the officers and directors of theHawaii Section is to promote MechanicalEngineering. That is the main reason. Ways wedo this include participation in the MATH-COUNTS Steering Committee; holding theFrancis R. Montgomery Design Competition withthe Department of Mechanical Engineering,UHM; recognizing and awarding an annual out-
standing mechanical engineering project; con-ducting P.E. Refresher Courses; maintaining aPower Technical Chapter; participating in highschool career fairs; organizing tours; always hav-ing an article in the Wiliki; maintaining a currentwebsite; and encouraging interaction with theStudent Section.
Back in 1995 James Grogan, past-chairman2001-2003, spearheaded the process to desig-nate the “Ginaca Machine” as the first and onlyASME International Historical Landmark inHawaii. This was a very important event for theHawaii Section. There probably will be no otherhistorical ASME designation in Hawaii.
Raymond Liu currently coordinates the P.E.Refresher course. Besides providing a great ser-vice to our members at a very small fee tobecome professional engineers, we see this as apossible way to recruit new members and offi-cers and directors. Raymond does a great job inproviding this service to the membership. Wehope and pray that he continues coordinating.He took over from Guy Pasco, past-chairman1995-1996, who also taught the refresher ses-sions.
The Hawaii Section will continue to meet thesecond Tuesday of July, September, November,January, March, and May at HECO’s WardAvenue cafeteria. The combination social gather-ing-meeting starts 5:30 p.m. and lasts to about7:15 p.m. Pizza and soft drinks are provided.Contact any officer or director if you would like toattend, to start your new adventure in the HawaiiSection.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas
THE WORLD’S LARGEST DRYDOCKConsidering the significant role that Hawaiian
Dredging Co. played in the development of PearlHarbor, I should not have been surprised to hearfrom Kirt Pruyn of that company last February,after I began my latest series on Drydock #1: “Weenjoyed reading your article on the origins ofPearl Harbor in the recent Wiliki o Hawaii. Mahalofor your research and writing,” he wrote, “Wehave some great photos of this historic drydock,and have attached a few to this email.”
“In the upcoming March article,” I responded inpart, “I mention the 1908 Honolulu Harbor widen-ing job by the company, including the use of the“Reclamation” and “Governor” dredges.” After anexchange of additional e-messages on the sub-ject, we arranged for a lunch meeting, followingmy return from a conference in Beijing where Ichaired a session organized by the AmericanSociety of Civil Engineers and the ChineseAcademy of Transportation Sciences. Allan Lock,company VP, joined us on May 8 in a very enjoy-able get-together where we exchanged informa-tion about the early days of the naval station andadjacent developments.
On May 13, Kirt sent me copies of several valu-able documents, including a 20-page speechgiven on July 11, 1951 by Walter Dillingham tothe Propeller Club of the Port of Honolulu. Theclub’s president, Ernest C. Gray, introduced thefounder of Hawaiian Dredging whose speechincluded a description of some modest attemptsby the Hawaiian Monarchy to work a clamshelldredge at Honolulu Harbor up to 1874, theestablishment of the company in 1902 and all thesubsequent dredging that added 4,280 acres tothe island of O`ahu. As he put it himself, whenapproached by a Captain John R. Parker to startthe company, “I didn’t know a hydraulic dredgefrom a sugar mill.” He also described how theyput together the dredger “Reclamation” out ofsalvaged parts and a new pump. I suspect that Iwill find occasion to return to many of these first-hand accounts in the future. But now I mustreturn to our main theme, the construction ofDrydock #1.
Last month (June 2008) we discovered thatnone of the responsible bids opened in Feb.1909 met the ceiling of $2 million established bythe U. S. Congress. As a result new tenders werecalled for a “620 foot dock, with conditions allow-ing the building of a double dock if Congresssubsequently votes a larger authorization,”according to the Pacific Commercial Advertiser[PCA] of 6/8/1909. Following bid opening on May22, the Hawaiian Star printed a short AssociatedPress cable informing that C. M. Leech of Bostonwas the lowest bidder with $1,295,321. The nexthigher bid was from the San Francisco BridgeCompany [SFBC] at $1,760,000 [HS,5/22/1909]. The Evening Bulletin [EB] of thesame day gave consistent information, but indi-cated that bids were received for several designalternatives. For the second time, C. M. Leech
failed to provide the necessary bond and wasconsidered non-responsible, allowing the nexthigher bid to stand. According to the New YorkTimes [6/16/1909], the “World’s Largest DryDock” at 620-foot length and 140-foot width wasaccepted by Navy Secretary George von L.Meyer. The losing bids were listed by PCAreporter Ernest G. Walker as Pacific ConstructionCo.($1,799,000), E. J. Lord of Honolulu$1,792,000),O’Malley $1,800,000), McCarthurConstruction Co. ($1,905,000), Cotton Brothers($1,961,000), and Pearson’s of England($1,941,000). None of them exceeded the $2million limit this time! Hawaiian Dredging went inwith SFBC, with which it had also partnered fordredging the channel at the mouth of PearlHarbor.
Announcing that the Chief of the Bureau ofYards and Docks Rear-Admiral Richard C.Hollyday had returned on the Siberia the daybefore for a second inspection tour, the Aug. 31,1909 PCA notified the public of the impendingstart of the job “in about a month” and itsplanned completion in 32 months: “F. B. Smith,representing the firm that was awarded the con-tract also arrived on the Siberia and the two weremet by W. F. Dillingham, head of the HawaiianDredging Company.” A Congressional party wasalso on the ground for a visit of army and navyprojects in the Territory [PCA, 9/30/1909].
As reprinted locally 10 months later, the “Armyand Navy Register” reported that the currentcontract was “for a dock 589 feet long, 113 feet4 inches wide at the entrance and with 32 feet 6inches over the blocks at mean high water.” Thiswas considered “barely sufficient to accommo-date the largest vessels under construction andinsufficient to accommodate the larger commer-cial vessels on the Pacific Coast flying theAmerican flag [6/24/1910].”
The next day, Dillingham was quoted “the workon the channel and the drydock is progressingsatisfactorily. The only thing hanging fire is thefinal passage of the naval bill embodying anappropriation for an increase in size of the pro-posed drydock from 620 to 814 feet.” He antici-pated completion of the excavation for the dry-dock in two months, followed by concrete place-ment, utilizing an estimated 200,000 barrels ofcement, and a project completion by the latterpart of 1912. A second story in the same issue ofthe PCA announced that Alfred C. Lewerenz,principal civil engineer, would arrive on theManchuria about July 17 “to take charge of engi-neering work on the drydock and other improve-ments.”
In Dec. 1910, bids for furnishing the drydockcaissons (that is, floating gates) were won by theMoran Company of Seattle for $110,000 and thefirst attempt to empty the lengthened drydockbasin of water in preparation of concreting com-menced in May, 1911.
As the PCA described it, “they were anxioushours for the contractors, for this is the very cruxof the entire work of building the drydock [PCA,5/4/1911].”
