ASCE HAWAII SECTION
2006 OUTSTANDING CIVIL ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT (OCEA) AWARDWinning Project: Design-Build AEF FOLAircraft Maintenance Hangar
The Design/Build AEF-FOL AircraftMaintenance Hangar is a $32.8M contract withthe US Air Force to design and build an earth-quake and typhoon resistant, air-conditioned air-craft maintenance facility. It will serve as the pri-mary maintenance site and shelter for aircraftcrucial to the operations of the U.S. Air Force.This innovative hanger project provides reliableshelter and an air conditioned environment for B-2 and B-52 air craft maintenance. This hangar isalso designed to support “hard broke” B-1B, B-2, B-52, KC-135, F-22 aircrafts that cannot beflown off island prior to a typhoon.
The hangar encompasses some of the mostsophisticated concrete construction, electricaland mechanical design systems. Several specialmission requirements were incorporated into theproject design. Firstly, the structure was requiredto be of concrete construction. The structurewas designed to resist sustained winds of170mph, and seismic zone 4 earthquake forces.Another requirement being that the air condition-ing system had to be capable of cooling downtwo “heat soaked” B-2 aircrafts from 118º to 75ºeither individually or concurrently within 8 hours.The hangar has a B-52 “tow–through” capabilityin either direction. Bridge cranes, service andbreathing air systems, fall arrest, fuel cell andspot ventilation maintenance support equipmentfor the B-2 and B-52 aircrafts were also a part ofthe specifications.
To meet these design requirements, BCC’sdesign-build team elected to design and con-struct a 20m high, 4,700sm arch shaped con-crete hangar comprised of precast folded platearch segments with cast in place segment con-nections and diaphragm beams. Bi-partinghangar and tail doors installed at each end of thehangar and a vertical lift fabric door mounted inthe center of the hangar allow direct tow throughof B-52 aircrafts. Tow ways entering the hangarfrom both the east and the west were designedto ensure proper wing and tail clearances intoand out of the hangar in either direction for alldesignated aircraft. In the closed position, thevertical lift fabric door divides the hangar into twoseparate bays large enough to accommodateone B-2 aircraft per bay.
Eight 60 ton air conditioning units and four60,000 CFM fans were installed for independentand joint cooling and ventilation capability. Thehangar has both sprinkler and high expansionfoam fire extinguishing systems linked to infraredsmoke detectors and fire alarm system. Thehangar’s new fire extinguishing system is tied to
the base’s existing water supply, consisting of anew 300mm fire main. A new 200,000L fire watertank supplements the existing fire supply sys-tem’s reserve capacity. Specialized maintenanceequipment installed in the hangar included a400hz power system, preconditioned ventilationunits for fuel cell maintenance, spot ventilationsystems, compressed breathing and service air,and two 7.5T and one 0.5 T bridge cranes.Additional support systems installed include highhangar bay lighting, trench drains, dual walledeffluent collection piping, 400,000L concreteprocess tank, security, and PBX systems,650KW standby gener-ator, and packagesewage lift station. Theprecast design of thehangar’s arch segmentshell makes it ideallysuited for fast track,“assembly line” con-struction of wide span,concrete hangars forlarge aircrafts such asthe B-52 within a shorttime frame.
The hangar’smechanical/electricaldesign successfullyintegrates, for the firsttime, high capacityHVAC equipment, duct-work, and specializedaircraft maintenanceequipment needed tomaintain B-52 and B-2aircraft within a large,arch shaped, concretehangar.
The aesthetic value ofthe project is prevalentin the new hangar’s fold-ed plate arch designvery similar in appear-ance to the existing cor-rosion control hangaralso located inAndersen AFB whichwas constructed in thelate 1970’s. The newhangar is locatedapproximately 500mwest of the existinghangar. The newhangar is painted withthe same “antiquelinen”, “tobacco brown”and “mission red” color
scheme used throughout Andersen AFB. The design/build team for this challenging pro-
ject, which was delivered safely, on time, andwithin budget, included Black ConstructionCorporation, Burns & McDonnell, AppliedTechnology Corporation, and SS Dannaway &Associates.

Structural Engineers Association of Hawaii Conducts a Hurricane Retrofit OutreachProgramBy Bennett Fung, President of SEAOH
Structural engineers are well respected by the public.However, very few people know what we actually do orhow we contribute to the community. Structural engineersstrive to protect and promote the safety and welfare of thepublic, yet there are very few opportunities for engineersto promote our mission to the public outside of the imme-diate circle of design and construction professions.
The Structural Engineers Association of Hawaii(SEAOH) set a goal earlier this year to reach out to thepublic through a topic that is relevant to the hearts of thepublic. Under the guidance of Bennett Fung and with theassistance of Gary Chock, president and vice president ofSEAOH, respectively, a free public seminar on “How toretrofit your home for the next hurricane” was conductedon September 23, 2006.
Hawaii has sustained significant damage from past hur-ricanes. In 1992, Hurricane Iniki destroyed over 1,000homes and significantly damaged approximately half ofthe single family homes on the island of Kauai, resulting inabout $900 million dollars of direct losses to private home-owners. It destroyed several hotel complexes and condo-miniums and sank private boats moored in local marinas.Coastal communities were pounded with high surf andstorm surge that scoured beachfront properties. Tenyears before that, Hurricane Iwa did substantial damage toKauai and Oahu. More recently, the devastation of NewOrleans and other cities along the Louisiana andMississippi coast in 2005 are still fresh in the minds of thepublic, again bringing hurricane vulnerability and hurricaneinsurance cost/availability to heightened public concern.
The Hawaii State Legislature passed a bill to provide 4million dollars this year, and 2 million dollars next year tofund a Loss Mitigation Grant Program. This program pro-vides a 35 percent reimbursement of the cost of hurricaneretrofits, up to a maximum of $2100 per dwelling unit, forhomeowners who install approved wind resistive devicesto improve wind resistance. The Department ofCommerce & Consumer Affairs – Insurance Divisionadministers this program. SEAOH member Gary Chockauthored the technical specifications on five generic typesof home retrofits that utilize both performance-based anddeemed-to-comply provisions. More information on theprogram specifications and procedures is posted fordownload at http://hurricaneretrofits.hawaii.gov.
The SEAOH partnered with the State InsuranceDivision, the State Civil Defense Division, NOAA’s CentralPacific Hurricane Center, and the Oahu Civil DefenseAgency to organize an information-filled half-day work-shop on “How to Retrofit your Home for the Next
Hurricane”. This became the first public briefing on theLoss Mitigation Grant Program. Sponsors were also invit-ed to exhibit hurricane-related products and services.
With the assistance of State Civil Defense and NOAA,SEAOH distributed press releases to all local news orga-nizations. Bennett Fung and Insurance CommissionerJ.P. Schmidt appeared on a morning news show, articlesappeared in local newspapers, and SEAOH called localradio stations and went on the air to promote the work-shop. As a result of these publicity efforts, the workshopturned out to be well attended. Over 450 people showedup at the event to learn about the grant program.
SEAOH member and Simpson Strong-Tie Companyrepresentative Tim Waite served as the emcee for theevent. Adjutant General of Hawaii General Robert Leestarted the program with a discussion of the public safetyrole and skillfulness of structural engineers in the designof buildings, and a call for personal hurricane awarenessand preparation including construction of residential saferooms. Bennett Fung gave a demonstration of wind load-ing and internal pressurization effects with the aid of ahouse model. Jim Weyman of NOAA Central PacificHurricane Center presented an in-depth review of clima-tology, hurricane tracking,and the risks in Hawaii.Lloyd Lim from the StateInsurance Division dis-cussed the administrativedetails of the LossMitigation GrantProgram. Gary Chock ofSEAOH presented astudy of Hurricane Inikidamage, the vulnerabilityof homes in Hawaii, anddetails of the five types ofhurricane retrofits in thestate’s program.Insurance CommissionerJP Schmidt gave a sum-mary on dynamicchanges in the local hur-ricane insurance market.The program concludedwith Ed Teixeira of StateCivil Defense encourag-ing public hurricane pre-paredness and providinginformation on hurricaneshelter procedures anddisaster response.
The partners that par-
ticipated at this event were very satisfied with the results.The Insurance Division received a lot of inquiries aboutthe Loss Mitigation Grant Program. State Civil Defensewas happy with the turnout and the opportunity to educatethe public on their role to reduce the risk of a hurricanedisaster. NOAA was pleased with the public’s interest,and SEAOH was pleased with the positive message wemade to the public, as well as the publicity that wereceived towards getting public awareness of our organi-zation’s presence at the forefront of building safety andhurricane retrofits.
The success of this event shows that private and pub-lic organizations with a common goal can create an effec-tive public message. This program proved to be mutuallybeneficial for all participating organizations. The ultimatebeneficiaries are those who become motivated tostrengthen their homes to improve their safety and reducethe burden on emergency response agencies during thenext hurricane. Based on the public response and input ofthe participants in the event, SEAOH has started to orga-nize more workshops in the near future for the neighbor-ing counties of Kauai, Maui, and Hawaii.

ASME PARTICIPATES IN KAILUA HIGHSCHOOL CAREER DAY FAIR
As part of the community outreach program ofASME Hawaii, section Vice Chair, Derick Kam;Director, Jim Grogan; and Chair, Raymond Liuattended the Kailua High School career day fairon October 17, 2006 from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
This annual event gave the members theopportunity to influence the future mechanicalengineers of our state by promoting the profes-sion and demonstrating its relevance to almosteverything that we do and most products that weuse.
Through the use of a poster display board andpre-printed literature that explains our profession,section members answer student’s questionssuch as “What do mechanical engineers do?”,“How many hours a day to you work?”, “Whatindustries do mechanical engineers work in?”,and of course, “How much do mechanical engi-neers get paid?”
Of course, the typical high school student wasmost interested in the last question. However, asmall portion was more interested in how thingswork – the typical trait that most engineers havethat starts the beginning of their careers.Nonetheless, members had the challenge of talk-ing to many students, and competing with otherbooths of other organizations, in hoping to inter-est them in a career in mechanical engineering.
In the end, it was worth it as the memberswere treated to lunch provided by the highschool. And for most of the members, it broughtback reminders of good eats (or bad eats) ofcafeteria food.

ASME SUCCESSFULLY WRAPS UP P.E.REFRESHER COURSE
As the Principles & Practices of MechanicalEngineering, or P.E. licensing exam scheduled forFriday, October 27, 2006 approaches, the quali-fied candidates and those planning to take theexam in April 2007 are wrapping up the coursewith a review of the HVAC/R, ventilation, cooling,heating and controls principles.
As reported in the September and OctoberWiliki O’Hawaii articles, Dr. S. Masutani and Dr.C. Kinoshita provided concise, valuable, yetentertaining instructions in the subjects of ther-modynamics, fluid mechanics and its applica-tions. The last portion of instructions, whichwere held on Tuesday nights in the later part ofOctober, involved a collaborative method whereall candidates get involved with solving problemsin the Mechanical Engineering Reference Manual(MERM) prior to attending classes with the bal-ance of the instruction time filled with criticalproblem-solution discussions that focus onimportant engineering concepts.
This requires the candidates to ask criticalquestions for problems that they didn’t under-stand in an open and professional environment.This method fosters an open and mutuallyfocused environment where all candidates sup-port each other to pass the exam the first time.The discussion of problem solutions is facilitatedby several ASME Hawaii section members usingthe solutions manual for the MERM.
This method was found to be valuable as theproblems in the MERM and the solutions manualwere found with typographical errors. Mostquestions were clarified through the in-depth dis-cussions of solutions between candidates andfacilitators.
As the exam closed in, an extra Saturdaystudy session was made available for the candi-dates scheduled to take the October exam. Thisextra session focused on miscellaneous examtopics such statics, dynamics, properties ofareas, tips on economic analysis and more.Finally, an 8-hour mock exam was given to thecandidates on Saturday, October 21, 2006 from8:00am to 5:00pm to gauge their performanceprior to the exam. The final review session washeld on Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at UH Manoain Holmes Hall Room 242.
ASME Hawaii wishes the seven qualified can-didates the best of luck as they pursue engineer-ing licensure to further their career as engineeringprofessionals. A total of 13 students attendedthe course. Plans are in the works for anotherP.E. refresher course for the April 2007 exam.For more information on signing up for the April2007 refresher course, please email RaymondLiu at [email protected] or contact cell at 497-1395.

OCTOBER 15, 2006 - REDIDICATING OUR-SELVES TO THE PROFESSION
The quiet Sunday morning of October 15,2006 rocked and awakened the entire state ofHawaii as a magnitude 6.6 earthquake hit the BigIsland of Hawaii just 10 miles northwest of Kailua-Kona at 7:07am.
This historic event triggered an island widepower outage when HECO’s Honolulu and Kahepower plant tripped off-line, causing the HECO’scomputer systems to automatically shut downthe entire power system to prevent further dam-age. HECO’s dedicated employees immediatelybegan the methodical and prudent approach,working until 1:55 a.m., to restore power to mostof its 291,000 customers.
The rest, as you know, is history when it madenational headline news – focusing on our island’sprecarious power generation situation. Needlessto say, this event demonstrates the need not onlyfor emergency preparedness to safeguard ourfamily and personal property, but as mechanicalengineers, to renew our dedication to our profes-sion. It was fortunate that the earthquakeoccurred on a Sunday, with astoundingly verylimited injuries. It was reported that one deathwas related to the earthquake, but it could havebeen worse.
With our local economy booming in the con-struction and building industry – along with theincrease in demand for power generation - howdo we meet the state’s need to sustain responsi-ble growth for the next generation? Certainly, itwill take a “mixture of energy solutions” such asrenewable energy and fossil fuel generation tomake an impact on our energy needs. But withthe extreme shortage of construction profession-als in the state, let alone qualified mechanicalengineers, how do we meet that need?
Perhaps the “solution” lies in renewing our-selves to our profession by participating and get-ting involved with ASME Hawaii and its sectionactivities. Of course, this not only applies tomechanical engineers, but to all professionalengineering societies within our state of Hawaiiwhich we call home.
But how does participating in ASME Hawaiisection activities benefit today’s mechanical engi-neer? It through a combination of education andtraining; mentoring the next generation of engi-neers by participating in career day fairs; it is byconducting technical seminars and workshops;and, it is by supporting the foundations of engi-neering – math and science. The bottom line – itis by getting involved and supporting the section.
Our profession isn’t a cure all for the chal-lenges facing our state, but it sure can make apositive impact to increase the level of protect tolife and property while increasing the standard ofliving for our island community.
This has been the purpose of the AmericanSociety of Mechanical Engineers since 1880, andwill continue to be for ASME Hawaii as we moveahead to face the future. To get involved with thesection, please visit our website at www.sec-tions.asme.org/hawaii or email Edmund Changat [email protected] or Raymond Liu [email protected].

September Meeting HighlightsThe September luncheon meeting was held on
September 21, 2006 at the Honolulu MunicipalBuilding. The guest speaker was Don Kitaoka,Deputy, City and County of Honolulu CorporationCounsel, who spoke about professional liability.Mr. Kitaoka’s presented several cases includingthe Taylor-Rice case to illustrate how profession-al liability has increased for professional engi-neers/designers. He explained that there arethree steps in determining if someone is liable.These steps entail determining if the plaintiff hada duty, whether there was a breach of that duty,and if that breach caused harm. If the courtdetermines that someone is liable, damages arethen determined based upon what it would taketo bring someone/something back to pre-acci-dent condition. With regards to the Taylor-Ricecase, the driver of the vehicle was drunk, speed-ing, and evading police when he hit a utility polekilling two people. The State was found to be
only 25% liable, however, since there had beenan accident in the same vicinity previously andthe State had resurfaced that section of the high-way prior to the accident, the court determinedthat the State had prior notice regarding deficien-cies at that location and had not rectified them.As such, the State was found joint and severablyliable and had to cover whatever damages theother liable parties were unable to pay.
November Meeting AnnouncementThe November Section meeting date, location,
and guest speaker will be announced at a laterdate. Meeting notices are forthcoming.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas
“SLUICING IS MUCH CHEAPER”The early 1900s requirement to use only “citi-
zen labor” on public projects that I discussed lastmonth (October 2006) was not without its oppo-nents who supported their position on groundsof labor availability and cost. When the MauiNews objected to the requirement, the HawaiianStar [HS, 10/4/1904] quoted the Territory’sSecretary Alatau L. C. Atkinson to retort that con-tractors “can get all the citizen labor they want ifthey will pay a fair price. Perhaps it may costthem more than it would for Japanese labor butthat has nothing to do with the question.”
To deal with the issue of labor availability, theSuperintendent of Public Works, C. S. Holloway,proposed a procedure “to employ Asiatics” onpublic projects when citizen labor was trulyunavailable, but to also ensure that cost savingsresulting from the lower wages earned by themaccrued to the Territory rather than the contrac-tor [HS, 10/28/1904].
The construction of the “Big Dam” at Nu`uanyReservoir No. 4, however, commenced on July29, 1905 with citizen labor only [HS, 8/15/1905],despite strong opposition to its construction anddesign adequacy [EB, 7/8/1905].
On Sept. 26 of that year, the HS carried thefront-page headline “Nuuanu WaterUndrinkable,” describing it as a “liquid containingmud enough to make it the color of a weak tea.”This condition was caused by sluicing operationsat the dam that allowed soil to enter the surfacewater supply. Assistant Superintendent J. H.Howland all but dismissed the contaminants as“clean dirt,” but the executive officer of the Boardof Health, Dr. J. S. B. Pratt, left that same after-noon with chemist R. A. Duncan, FoodCommissioner and Analyst, to examine theNu`uanu water supply. Holloway announced tothe Evening Bulletin [EB, 9/27/1905] that sluicingwas the preferred method of construction as itcost 15 cents “a square yard” vs. 56 cents “byother methods” and that he took immediateaction to supply artesian water by pumping asmuch as possible.
On the following day, the HS reprintedDuncan’s report to Lucius E. Pinkham, Presidentof the Board of Health. Duncan found that “thecontamination due to the sluicing operations ...consists of an increase of double the solid matterand a very large increase in highly objectionableorganic matter” and that “the use of water cont-aminated with earthy and organic matter maypossibly result in decease.” However, “from Mr.C. H. Smith, the government engineer, welearned that within one hour of our visit onTuesday [the 26th] the sluicing operations werediscontinued and when again begun provisionwill be made to prevent contaminated waterreaching the reservoirs.” Nevertheless, notingthat not all consumers could be served by pump-ing, the Sept. 29 HS leveled an accusation that“the authorities allow a favored contractor tosluice soil instead of carting it away.”
On Oct. 7, Pinkham reported to the Board ofHealth that “the Department of Public Works haskindly consented to permit the Board to examinethe arrangements now being installed for the pro-tection of the water supply before further sluicingis undertaken.” In November, the Boardapproved a recommendation by Pinkham to for-bid fishing in Nu`uanu Stream [EB, 11/23/1905]and at the Dec. 20 meeting of the Board he con-cluded “in company with Dr. Pratt and AnalystDuncan, I, this morning, made a thorough inves-tigation of conditions at the new Nuuanu reser-voir. With the carrying out of our recommenda-
tions, there can be no contamination of the watersupply” [HS, 12/21/1905]. Earlier, the HS[10/18/1905] had disclosed that “boys bathe inNuuanu Stream,” despite a prohibition, addingthat “possibly the amusement of a few kids on aSunday does not seriously affect the water butthen the idea is not a nice one.” At about thesame time frame, various individuals and entities,including the Hawaii Medical Society, stronglyendorsed the filtering of drinking water as adefense against typhoid fever[EB, 11/20/1905]but, as reported later, the Legislature had not, asyet, made an appropriation for a proposed filtra-tion plant [HS, 5/2/1906].
As things appeared to calm down, a shortnewspaper article stated “the discovery of anumber of surface springs in the workings at thenew Nuuanu reservoir have been giving the menthere considerable trouble recently, but thereseems to be no reason to believe that there willbe any permanent difficulties to dispose of in thecourse of the work.” Holloway characterized thesprings as merely “a nuisance during the rainyseason” [HS, 1/29/1906] but a future article inthis series will show that this was not a veryaccurate assessment of the situation.
To add to the accumulating construction diffi-culties, then Acting Governor Atkinson, due toHonolulu-born George Robert Carter’s illness,“has taken up the matter of the long delay incompleting the Nuuanu reservoir dam” [HS,3/23, 1906]. He visited the site with LouWhitehouse, the contractor, and F. E. Thomson,the contractor’s attorney, and concluded “thereseems to be many troubles over specificationsand other matters.” About three weeks later,Holloway, speaking to the Pacific CommercialAdvertiser of April 11, 1906, attributed some ofthe delays to a lack of rainfall:
“Work is progressing very slowly because ofthe water shortage. We have no water withwhich to sluice in the mud and all the material isplaced by hand. That is expensive and slow.Sluicing is so much cheaper.”
But this turned out to be only the tip of the ice-berg!

a two-mile, double circuit 46kV cross linked poly-ethylene (XLPE) line extending from mainlandOahu to an electrical substation on Ford Island.Approximately one mile of the line runs parallel tothe Admiral Clarey Bridge and is installed belowthe Pearl Harbor channel floor. For the first timein Hawaii, horizontal directional drilling (HDD), atechnique normally utilized to install civil utilities,was used to install underground subtransmissionelectrical cables. HDD is a technique thatinvolves drilling a pilot hole underground, enlarg-ing the drilled hole with a reamer, lubricating andclearing the reamed hole with a swab, andspecifically for this project, finally pulling a steelcasing through. In the Ford Island project, two36-inch diameter tunnels were created 65 feetunder the Pearl Harbor channel floor.
Through each tunnel, a 24-inch diameter steelcasing containing six high-density polyethyleneducts (3 for XLPE cable, 1 for spare, 1 for fiberoptics, and 1 for ground wire) was pulled backusing a 750,000-pound drill rig. The project tooknearly four months to construct and is thelongest continuous underground 46kV installa-tion in Hawaii and possibly one of the longest inthe world.
The Subtransmission Line was installed as partof a $22 million electrical upgrade completed byHawaiian Electric Company. The upgrade wasrequired to meet future electricity demands tosupport the U.S. Navy’s plans to renovate andmodernize Ford Island. The upgraded systemwill provide 40 MVA of capacity to Ford Island,home of a Navy-Marine Corps Intranet nervecenter.
