Sustainable Technology – Plastic-to-OilConversion
Happy Chinese New Year! We welcome theYear of the Ox. According to one of the promi-nent astrologers, “the year 2009 promises peaceand harmony as well as an auspicious wave ofsuccess, prosperity and growth that is certain toplease almost everyone. This is going to be ayear of double earth - when the steady hardworking Ox rules, thus bringing increased effec-tiveness and better productivity of efforts all yearround. The next twelve months will support peo-ple in leadership positions. Those who haverecently risen to high office or were promoted lastyear in the government or in the business worldwill feel the benefits of 2009 high energy CHI.” Itseems that the year 2009 for Hawaii Chapterstarted off with a couple of high energy speakersand will continue-on to have a slate of greatspeakers.
TSphere Energy Terri Sasaki presented us anew and “out-of-the-box” sustainable technologyon plastic-to-oil conversion. She highlighted whattype of plastics can be processed such as HDPE(a.k.a. high density polyethylene inmilk/water/detergent bottle, grocery bags & con-tainers); LDPE (a.k.a. low density polyethylene inwrapping films, clear bags & toys), PP (a.k.a.polypropylene in clear containers, bottle caps,appliance & automotive equipment), PS (a.k.a.polystyrene in foamed/non-foamed PS, compactdisk cases, medicine bottles and trays). She alsoemphasized what can be processed but not veryeconomical when processed such as PET (a.k.a.polyethylene terephthalate in soda/drinking bot-tles, textiles and carpet) and PVC (a.k.a.polyvinylchloride in pipe, window frames andflooring).
Our technical session’s speaker, RuskinManufacturing Company Chris Schartz providedus an informative & educational presentation on
the DO & DON’T for Specifying Life & SafetyDevices. Chris basically left with us two importantthings about “Fire Smoke/Life Safety”. One ofthem is “Do remember, fire and smoke protectionis not an option”. The other is “Don’t be respon-sible for loss of life, injury and property damage –Smoke kills”.
In order for ASHRAE to be a leader in the sus-tainable building movement, ASHRAE has com-menced to gear-up an AdHoc Committee at the2009 Winter Meeting in Chicago in developingthe ASHRAE design guidelines for Net ZeroEnergy Buildings. The U.S. Department ofEnergy’s Office of Energy Efficiency andRenewable Energy has defined a Net-ZeroEnergy building as a building that produces asmuch energy as it uses over the course of a year.Net-zero energy buildings are very energy-effi-cient, with the remaining low energy needs typi-cally met through the use of on-site renewableenergy. Achieving the goal of Net-Zero Energybuildings requires more than simply substitutingor adopting new technologies and systems.ASHRAE is working with the American Institute ofArchitects, the Illuminating Engineering Society ofNorth America and the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil to develop a series of Advanced EnergyDesign Guides for the commercial building sectorthat will hopefully eventually lead to Net ZeroEnergy buildings. ASHRAE is sponsoring a NetZero Energy Building Conference in March in SanFrancisco.

This session will feature our BOG member,Barry Jim On, P.E., who will provide a roadmap tothe Compliance with ASHRAE Standard 90.1and LEED. With the LEED implementation in bothpublic and private projects, ASHRAE Standard90.1 has gained its utmost importance to thedesign architects and engineers. This particularstandard has played a key role in LEED certifica-tion for new construction and renovation pro-jects. The said topic should kick off a good startfor the fiscal year 2009. It should continue toeducate our own members as well as our asso-

ASME’S POSITION ON EDUCATIONALREQUIREMENT FOR LICENSURE
(The following was copied from the ASME-NEWS)
ASME believes a four-year bachelor’s degreefrom an accredited college or university shouldremain the mandatory educational requirementfor licensure as a professional engineer in theUnited States.
Responding to a recent change the NationalCouncil of Examiners for Engineering andSurveying (NCEES) made to its Model Law toincrease the mandatory educational requirementsfor professional licensure, ASME has released anofficial position statement making the case for thetraditional four-year bachelor’s degree pluscareer-long continuing education.
The bachelor’s degree, along with passing theFundamentals of Engineering and Principles andPractices examinations and successfully com-pleting a four-year internship, “assure that theknowledge, skills, and ethical standards expect-ed from a professional engineer are attained,” thestatement says.
ASME believes continuing education is an
ASME, from page 4
essential component for maintenance of one’sengineering license. The Society is a strongadvocate of lifelong learning and sponsors con-tinuing education and professional developmentprograms, including short courses, in many tech-nical areas.
The NCEES plan, known as “Master’s orEquivalent,” proposes 30 additional credits or amaster’s degree, on top of the bachelor’s, forlicensure. ASME states that the higher educa-tional requirements are unnecessary.
The higher educational requirements alsocould produce an adverse affect on America’sability to place an adequate supply of engineersin the industrial workforce, enabling the nation tocompete technologically and economically,according to ASME.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas
COLOSSAL DRYDOCK DEDICATEDWhen I began in Jan. 2008 to describe the
story of Drydock No. 1 at Pearl Harbor, I expect-ed to merely give a brief overview of this ground-breaking structure (pun intended). Little did Iknow then that the tortuous twists and turns ofthe story, as well as the high level of interest itgenerated among my readers, would cause meto spend more than a year at the task. But allgood things must end.
After a spectacular collapse on Feb. 17, 1913,several civilian and navy engineers contributed toa novel design, among them Alfred Noble, pastASCE President, who unfortunately was not des-tined to see either the final design or the subse-quent completion of the dock. Last month (Feb.2009) we saw that a supplemental contract waslet on Nov. 19, 1914 to build the facility accord-ing to the unprecedented method that was laterdescribed by Navy Secretary Josephus A.Daniels as follows:
“The new method prescribed provided thatconcrete sections 60 feet long and the full widthof the dock should be cast one at a time on a[wooden] floating drydock built for the purpose.These sections were poured around a heavy gril-lage of structural steel to insure proper strengthand stiffness. The floating dock was then sub-merged and a great steel caisson or flotation tankwas fastened water tight above the concretesection by anchor bolts. The composite box orvessel thus formed, weighing about 17,000,000,was afterward set afloat and towed to the finalsite, which was carefully prepared to receive theload. An inner compartment of the steel caissonwas then flooded, allowing the unit to sink intoposition, but providing an unwatered space with-in the caisson where the side-walls of the dockcould be carried by ordinary concreting methodsup to one foot above high tide; after this wasdone, the caisson was detached and re-floated,leaving a concrete dock unit in place and makinga return trip to the floating dock for the next sec-tion [Pacific Commercial Advertiser, PCA,8/9/1919].”
The foundation incorporated 14,100 piles dri-ven at varying depths and a layer of rock thatformed a perfectly level base. Engineer CharlesW. Parks, USN, was brought back to Hawai`i inJanuary 1915 to oversee the job for the Navy. Hehad been the engineer in charge of constructionat the new naval station back in 1908, but wasre-assigned to the continental U.S. in 1910.
Parks stayed until Dec. 1917 when 16 of the17 sections of the dock were completed. Navyengineer C. A. Carlson who was, in turn, substi-tuted for by George A. McKay in Feb. 1918replaced him. Incidentally, the dock’s componentsections were fused together by concrete trem-ied in the 4-foot wide spaces between them. The
17th section was a semi-circular wall at the headof the structure consisting of 160 precast con-crete blocks, lowered by means of the structure’selectric crane, and connected by tremied con-crete. A rock ballast was placed inside the basinwhen the drydock was first pumped in the springof 1919 to resist uplift before a layer of concretewas added to make the bottom 16 feet thick[Star Bulletin, SB, 8/20/1919].
Drydock No. 1 was dedicated on Aug. 21,1919, on a day that had been proclaimed a pub-lic holiday for the City & County of Honolulu byGovernor C. J. McCarthy and TerritorialSecretary Curtis P. Iaukea. The Secretary of theNavy Daniels arrived the day before when “thelookout at Diamond Head... reported the U.S.S.New York steaming toward the harbor at eightmiles an hour shortly after dawn [SB,8/20/1919].”
Accompanied by four destroyers, the “superdreadnaught” class battleship belonged to thenewly assembled Pacific Fleet that had leftHampton Roads, Virginia, on July 19, crossedPanama Canal and sailed for the West Coast.The Secretary’s wife and two sons accompaniedhim from there to Honolulu, along with anentourage that fittingly included none other thanCharles W. Parks, now a Rear Admiral, Chief ofthe Navy’s Bureau of Yards and Docks, and “oneof Hawaii’s best friends at the national capitalwith reference to Pearl Harbor Naval Station[PCA, 8/4/1919].”
Originally budgeted for $2 million and a lengthof 581 feet, the drydock, including the dockproper, pump well machinery, caisson, and cap-stans, cost a little more than $5 million. Its report-ed outside dimensions were 1029 feet in length,135 in width at the top, 114 feet width at the bot-tom, and 35 feet in depth. Often referred to as1001 feet long and 110 feet wide for the size ofships it can accommodate, it matched thedimensions of the locks at Panama Canal.
Thanks to official photographers such as TaiSing Loo, the drydock project and Pearl Harborconstruction activities in general have been pre-served in film.
In perfect working order today, Drydock No. 1survived the December 7, 1941 Japanese attackunscathed, but the same cannot be said for thebattleship “Pennsylvania” and the destroyers“Cassin” and “Downes” that were being servicedin it at the time.
