VOL. 45 NO. 8 SERVING 2000 ENGINEERS & LAND SURVEYORS OCTOBER, 2009
OCTOBER IS ENERGY AWARENESS MONTHHawaii depends on imported petroleum to
meet about 90% of its energy needs, creatingrisks for Hawaii’s economic security and leavingthe state vulnerable to supply disruptions andvolatile global energy prices.
In January 2008, the State of Hawaii, in part-nership with the U.S. Department of Energy(DOE), announced the Hawaii Clean EnergyInitiative (HCEI), a long-term partnershipdesigned to accelerate the transformation ofHawaii into once of the world’s first economiesbased primarily on clean energy resources. Thiswill reduce the state’s dependence on importedoil and help bring energy price stability to Hawaiiconsumers. The Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative ischarting a new path toward an energy indepen-dent future for Hawaii: 70% clean energy by2030.
The comprehensive thinking, analysis andplanning to achieve this 70% clean energy objec-tive has been underway for the past 21 months.The partnership provides technical assistanceand technology program support for a variety ofinnovative projects that draw on technologiesdeveloped through a range of Department ofEnergy research and development programs.
Public and private partners are also working onseveral clean energy projects throughout thestate, including: designing cost-effectiveapproaches for 100 percent renewable energyon smaller islands; designing systems to improvethe stability of electrical grids while integratingsolar, wind, energy storage and advanced vehicletechnologies into existing island energy systems;minimizing energy use and incorporating renew-able energy technologies at new large militaryhousing developments; expanding Hawaii’scapability to use locally grown crops and byprod-ucts to produce fuel and electricity; and upgrad-ing Hawaii’s comprehensive energy regulatoryand policy frameworks.
Hawaii is focused on two primary objectives tomove towards the goal of energy independencefor Hawaii: Conserve and Convert. Conserveenergy: reduce waste and increase efficiency athome, work, school and on the road. Convert:stop building fossil fuel plants. Generate 40% ofour energy locally by 2030. Harness energy fromsolar, wind, ocean, geothermal and biomassresources. Establish a sustainable alternative fuelstrategy. Embrace electric vehicles. Modernizeour power-grid system.
Hawaii’s success in achieving the HCEI goalwill result in improved energy security and eco-nomic vitality for the state and its residents andwill serve as a model of energy system transfor-mation for other states, regions and nations.
While DOE and the state are developing theinitial framework, ultimately all of Hawaii’s citizens
will need to be involved in the successful trans-formation of Hawaii’s energy systems. Hawaii’sengineering community will be at the forefront ofturning the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative fromideas into reality: new infrastructure, new part-nerships, new rules and legislation that make itpossible for all of us to conserve energy and con-vert to the renewable energy imperative to thesecure economic future and clean environmentour children and their children deserve.

On Thursday, September 3, 2009, Laurie Foster,Senior Consultant from Business ConsultingResources, provided an informative presentationon a meaningful topic to many business owners:Succession Planning - Is Your Firm Ready?
The topic must have a struck a nerve becausethis was one of our most attended general mem-bership meetings in recent memory.
As an appropriate follow-up discussion, ourOctober general membership meeting will addresskey differences between C and S Corporations.Having the wrong setup can cost tens if not hun-dreds of thousands of dollars.
Thurs. Oct. 1, 200911:45 a.m.– 1:30 p.m.Honolulu Country ClubC vs. S CorporationsPresenter: Douglas Levin, CPA, MBTPartner/Principal, Levin & Hu, LLP, CertifiedPublic AccountantsOriginally presented as part of this year’s Hawaii
BizTax Summit, this forum is appropriate for thosewho are still operating as a C corporation or whomade the switch to S corporation but may notunderstand completely why. Topics will include howtax planning differs for both entities and why exitingfrom a C corporation is so much more expensivethan from an S. You will learn the best possible taxsaving entity for your particular business, and moreimportantly why these make such a difference. Anopen question and answer session will follow.
ACECH Fall Conference: If you haven’t alreadyconsidered attending the fall conference, now isyour last chance! These conferences offer terrificlearning opportunities for business owners andproject managers (http://www.acec.org/confer-ences/fall-09/index.cfm).

EWB-Honolulu is working with a University ofHawaii student chapter project that is in the aridcoastal town of La Garita, Ica Province, Peru. OnSeptember 16 the student chapter held a gener-al meeting and presented the new project tomembers. Members of the student chapter visit-ed in December 2007 to assess the current con-ditions in the town. Due to major earthquakeswithin the country over the past 8 years, a largepart of the town was damaged and many of thewater holding tanks and water supply systemhas been destroyed. La Garita’s water supplycurrently consists of water trucks filling holdingtanks on a weekly basis. While USAID has pro-vided some assistant with providing latrines andhousing, there is still no permanent solution forrebuilding the water supply system. A siteassessment trip will be conducted in December
On August 7, 2009, the HSPE EducationalFoundation hosted its fundraising golf tourna-ment at the Waikele Golf Course. Thirty-oneteams played in the Scramble format tourna-ment, which is the premier fundraising event ofthe Foundation, which supports the annualHawai‘i Mathcounts competition. Through thegenerous donations and involvement of the vari-ous sponsors, donors and players of the golftournament, adequate funding was raised for theMathcounts competition. Mahalo to all for yourtime and effort.
On August 18, the Kona-Kohala Chapter ofHSPE met with the West Hawaii ExplorationsPublic Charter School (WHEA), to establish aworking relationship with the school. The HSPEKona-Kohala Chapter will meet once a week, fora couple of hours at a time, to speak to the stu-dents, who range from 6th grade through highschool.
WHEA offers a science based, project based,hands on approach to learning. WHEA will beteaching an engineering class this year for itsmiddle school students (grades 6-8). The pur-pose of the class is to introduce students tobasic engineering concepts of design, materialsand construction of structures. The focus will beon bridges, domes and buildings.
WHEA’s goal is to provide students with anintroduction to careers in engineering by meetingand working with mentors from the community ofprofessional engineers and building contractors.The idea is for students to engage in hands-onbuilding & research activities that apply mathe-matics and physical science principles, and togain a deeper understanding of what it takes todesign and construct structures.
WHEA is looking for mentors for students andclasses, to provide consultation with students asthey design and build projects, and/or to help“judge” or comment on the merits of the variousstudent solutions to the project challenges.
Individuals or organizations interested in help-ing WHEA may contact Ms. Sara Medeiros [email protected] or at 808-327-4751, duringschool hours.

KNOW YOUR ASCE HISTORYby C.S. Papacostas
KAISER’S CONCRETE HOUSESBack in Oct. 2006, John Young of Belt Collins
wrote, “Dr. Papacostas: We have a project inHawaii Kai, at the back of Kamilonui Valley adja-cent to and mauka of the existing farm lots. Wesee concrete tunnels on the site (see photos)which we believe were once a batch plant usedby Kaiser. Would you have any suggestions onwhere we could start our research to determinethe past use of the concrete tunnels.”
The two photographs of the “tunnels” intriguedme. The reinforcing steel of the roof was exposedand highly corroded, as were frames of whatappeared to be bulkheads and remnants ofmachinery hoppers hanging from the ceiling.Judging by the amount of graffiti defacing theconcrete block walls, their existence must be wellknown.
My initial response to John was, “As far as Iknow the Kaiser plant you are describing was toproduce a special building block using native rawmaterials. The blocks were glued with epoxy and“strung” on steel rebars for roofs and walls.Kaiser hoped to substitute these for wood. Sincethis occurred in the early 1960s, you may actual-ly be able to find some old-timers who werearound at the time. I do not know where theKaiser Hawaii Kai Development Co. files arearchived. Please let me know if you find out.“
Since then, I learned that Kaiser’s papers arearchived at the Bancroft Library of the Universityof California, Berkeley, but I have not been able totake advantage of that resource. Instead, withsome additional research, I discovered the largercontext of the tunnels from local sources.

SEAOH, from page 5
On April 5, 1961, both the Honolulu Advertiser(HA) and the Star-Bulletin (SB) prominently fea-tured the opening of Henry J. Kaiser’s concreteproducts plant in Kamilonui Valley “high aboveKuapa Fish Pond” the day before. The HA head-ing stressed the plant itself with “Kaiser Unveils$2 Million Plant For Lava-Base Building Blocks,”whereas the SB chose to emphasize the mainobjective of the plant with “Kaiser Unveils Under-$20,000 Home Plan.”
To be sure, the plant was put up in conjunctionwith the planned development of Hawaii Kai,which initially was considered to have strongresort components in addition to residential sub-divisions. At one point, a toll highway via a tunnelfrom above the concrete plant to Waimanalo waseven envisioned, but I’ll leave this idea to anoth-er day.
Between the coverage in the two papers, andallowing for the typical expressive liberty of non-technically trained reporters, I was able to piecetogether the following picture.
Kaiser hired Gilbert E. Olson, a research con-sultant, to investigate the possibility of using

ASCE, from page 6 native materials to produce concrete for theroadways and structures in Hawai`i Kai. Cement,of course, was to be supplied by Kaiser’sPermanente Cement plant that opened inNanakuli on August 20, 1960 to compete withthe original Hawaiian Cement plant that beganoperations a few days earlier at Barber’s Point,now known as Kalaeloa (for details, see my Sept.2004 article).
Olson concluded, “Within Hawaii Kai werefound the necessary basalt boulders, volcaniccinders and coral for making the concrete prod-ucts [HA].” Portable crushers would processlarge basalt boulders, and lightweight aggregatecould be obtained from a cinder cone near KokoCrater. Since large areas had to be cleared ofbasalt boulders anyway, “a problem has beenconverted into an opportunity,” Kaiser was quot-ed to have said. A second story in the same issueof the HA says that the plant was “electronicallyautomated” needing a crew of only five and “themost modern plant facility obtainable on twocontinents... Overhead batching equipmentautomatically measures out the proper propor-tions of cement and aggregates, and drops thematerials into a revolving turbine-type mixer.”
The reports further explain that the plant pro-duced concrete pipe, decorative tiles, and otherproducts, among which was what Kaiser pro-posed to be a major replacement for convention-al construction materials so that “we can go along way toward freeing ourselves from depen-dence upon materials that must be transportedlong distance.”
The new product consisted of tongue-and-groove interlocking tiles “6-by-8-by-16 inches,then cemented with a new adhesive called epoxyinto building slabs, 92 inches for walls and 18feet long for roofing [SA].” The tiles (or “blocks”)were formed by “Clanton automatic block pressand forming machine” and before assemblage bythe “Rapidex system”, they were stacked ontostorage racks and fork-lifted into steam curingrooms where precise temperature and humiditywere kept by an automatically controlled steamboiler.
The HA indicated that “sections for the roofsare assembled by inserting long steel reinforcingrods under tension on the interior of the blocks,”which the SB correctly described as “the pre-stressing principle.” The walls, on the other hand,were strengthened by running reinforcing barsfrom roof to slab floor [SB].” No details about thestrength of steel or the size and spacing of rein-forcements were given.
Three model homes were already constructedon Kalanianaole Highway near Portlock Road;one of them served as Kaiser’s temporary office.
“A roof for the 1,250 square feet houses, plustwo-car carport, can be put in place in two hoursor less, without use of rafters,” proclaimed theHA, and then went on to describe a model homeshown by Kaiser. The estimated cost was lessthan $20,000 including land development costs.This translated to $9 per square foot, versus $13-15 for wood, or $15 up for a conventional hollowtile house, argued Olson, who pointed out thatthe concrete house would also be termite andfire-proof.
What happened next remains a mystery to me.The only reference I could dredge up was in theJuly 18, 1968 issue of the SB where Ross E.Haffner, the Woods Products Association ofHawaii executive director, was quoted to say,“Henry Kaiser tried for over 10 years to build asuitable low-cost home out of concrete, butfailed miserably.”
Perhaps someone who witnessed the eventsof that time first hand can enlighten us.
