Interior

• Tile Installation
  During preconstruction, the team determined that by prefabricating certain repetitive elements, both time and money could be saved and the benefit of increased quality could be achieved. The bathrooms for the hotel were one such component identified early in the design process. By prefabricating the bathroom pods off-site, the project team was able to shift production work to a controlled environment with a higher production rate, allowing the team to better meet the owner’s schedule. The pods were manufactured off-site and shipped via truck to the project site. The team included a pre-trucking inspection to ensure all tile work and finishes were intact before departing the facility as well as a post-installation inspection to confirm no shifting or wracking had occurred during the shipping and hoisting process that could have negatively impacted the bathroom pod finishes. As a result, our team obtained inspection reports covering the life of the manufactured product as well as video recordings of the inside of the bathroom pods before and after installation. After the restroom pods were set into place, final MEP connections were then made to the restroom in order to complete the installation.

Landscaping and Fencing

• Landscaping
  By changing the composition of the soils and recycling the tree stump grindings, Hensel Phelps saved both the landscaping subcontractor and the client money. In addition, these solutions limited haul-off and maximized the schedule progress.
• Excavation
  At the Kailua RWWTP site, Hensel Phelps had to address the removal of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contaminated soil, a condition identified during excavation of the tunnel. As part of the project, Hensel Phelps was required to install caissons. The problem with PCB-contaminated soil is that once those caissons touch the soil, they are deemed contaminated as well.
