OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE HAWAII REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS
by RONALD I.TAKETA
	 Executive Secretary-Treasurer
	 The TMT would put Hawaii on the
map as more than just a tourist destination.
It will be an international center for scien-
tific exploration that exists nowhere else
in the world. Texas has The Johnson Space
Center, Florida has Cape Canaveral, California
has Livermore National Laboratory, Illinois has
the Fermilab Particle Accelerator Laboratory...
and Hawaii will soon be included in this exclu-
sive group.
	 The TMT will create jobs and help our
economy. It is a $1.4 billion project that will
generate hundreds of millions of dollars that
will support essential services and local busi-
nesses. It will create hundreds of good-paying
construction jobs and permanent positions to
operate the facility.
	 To be fair, the opponents to TMT have
raised many legitimate concerns. The Univer-
sity of Hawaii has been lax in the overall man-
agement of Mauna Kea and its cultural and re-
ligious significance. Governor Ige has correctly
criticized U.H. over these concerns, including
the abundance of tour busses and commercial
activity that jams the slopes of Mauna Kea.
	 Governor Ige has also determined that
the “decommissioning”—or removal—of old-
er telescopes must be accelerated to reduce
the overall footprint on Mauna Kea, and that
U.H. must develop a stronger stewardship
plan that will protect the mountain and cul-
tural lands in the future.
	 We are in total agreement with Gover-
nor Ige on these points, and the University of
Hawaii is now working to correct these issues.
However, even if all of the governor’s concerns
are addressed, I do not believe that it will sat-
isfy the more adamant protesters who have
vowed to obstruct construction of the TMT.
	 This is unfortunate, but when you
consider the proud Hawaiian tradition of
astronomy, the educational, scientific, and
economic value of the project, and the civic
pride that comes with being the best in the
world, TMT deserves our total support.
	 The sponsors of TMT have followed
all of the rules. They have obtained all of the
approvals, and they now have all of the nec-
essary permits. TMT has earned the right to
move forward and must be allowed to do so.
W
e have supported the Thirty Meter
Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea from
the beginning, and despite the on-
going controversy over this project,
we are still staunch supporters of this once-
in-a-lifetime opportunity.
	 The TMT will help make Hawaii the as-
tronomy hub of the world. The project is fund-
ed by leading universities and research organi-
zations, and will create hundreds of good local
jobs in the fields of science and technology.
	 The TMT has committed more than
a million dollars a year to education and job
training in science, technology, engineering,
and math in the state, so Hawaii residents are
prepared for these high-paying jobs in the fu-
ture.
	 The TMT has gone through a rigor-
ous seven-year state and local approval
process that has been open and transpar-
ent. There were more than 20 meetings for
public input and an Environmental Impact
Study found the project meets all conserva-
tion requirements.
	 During that process, the sponsors met
with Native Hawaiian groups like Kahu Ku
Mauna and made changes to address their
concerns. As part of that effort, the sponsors
chose the TMT site because it is on land that
will not impact ancient burials or shrines, and
can’t be seen from other sacred lands. And
TMT will continue the tradition of ancient
Polynesians who used the stars to navigate
the Pacific to discover Hawaii.
	 The current world voyage of the Hoku-
lea and its sister vessel Hikianalia is a perfect
example of the expertise and love for astrono-
my that continues in the Hawaiian community
today. The “high tech” astronomy that TMT
represents is merely an extension of space
exploration that started centuries ago in the
islands of Polynesia.
	 Since that time, Hawaii has become the
home of astronomy in the U.S., and a world
leader in this field, employing nearly 1,400 lo-
cal residents. The TMT Observatory Corpora-
tion was founded by a group of leading sci-
ence organizations that chose the Big Island
over other sites because of its unique benefits
for research.
	 Mauna Kea, which rises 14,000 feet
above the ocean, has a climate that is stable,
dry, and cold, which are important factors for
clear vision for a telescope.

	 General contractor Nan Inc is
working on the second phase of the
Wheeler Combat Aviation Brigade
Complex. The $69.7 million project in-
cludes two, six-story barracks designed
for 202 soldiers of the 25th Infantry Divi-
sion Combat Aviation Brigade.
	 “These barracks will have 101
units with two bedrooms, a bathroom,
and a kitchen,” said Stan Sagum, direc-
tor of development for Nan Inc. “It’s very
similar to the Unaccompanied Enlisted
Personnel Housing facility we built at
Helemano.”
	 Both buildings will have CMU
(concrete masonry unit) exterior walls.
The ground floor will be constructed
with cast-in-place concrete, and the sec-
ond through sixth floors will have precast
concrete planks with concrete toppings.
The project also includes a 7,000-square-
foot central utility plant that will house
the barrack’s cooling towers and a stor-
age and recycling area.
	 Nan Inc will self-perform the car-
pentry and drywall installation on the
project.
	 “Between the first through third
quarter of next year, we will be running

Construction continues on Kapiolani Medical Cent-
er for Women and Children’s new Neonatal Intensive Care
Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) tower.
Signatory contractors Layton Construction Co. Inc. and
dck pacific construction LLC are working in a joint venture
to build the six-story, 200,000-square-foot tower and two-
story generator building.
	 “dck pacific has completed the concrete founda-
tion in the basement and slab-on-metal decking on all
floors,” said Warren Chaiko, vice president of design &
construction for Hawaii Pacific Health, Kapiolani’s parent
company. “They are now working on the loading dock
concrete and generator building concrete walls.”
	 BEK Inc. is the drywall subcontractor for the pro-
ject. The company is completing the elevator and stair
tower shaft walls, as well as the exterior metal-stud fram-
Interior Work Underway on Kapiolani’s NICU/PICU Tower
ing on the north, west, and south sides of the tower. BEK
drywallers are also working on the interior wall framing
and drywall installation, with approximately 10 percent of
the interior work finished.
	 The new tower will include 70 private NICU rooms,
14 private PICU rooms, and 12 private medical-surgical
rooms. All of the rooms are equipped with medical gases,
emergency power and data for patient monitoring sys-
tems, and nurse call systems. Some of the rooms will also
be equipped to serve as isolation rooms with negative
room pressure to mitigate the spread of contagious dis-
eases.
	 The team is pursuing LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) silver certification for the pro-
ject, which is scheduled for completion in November 2016.

After heavy rains prompted a roof collapse
three years ago, Farrington High School’s auditorium
is undergoing a much-needed renovation. General
contractor Nan Inc began work on the $10.6 million
project this April.
	 “When we started this project, the auditorium
looked like it had a sunroof,” said Nan Inc Project
Manager Emerson Garcia. “In addition to the roof re-
pair, we’re renovating both the interior and exterior.
Right now, we’re gutting everything out. We will also
upgrade the building to make it ADA (American with
Disabilities Act) compliant.”
	 The renovation involves the construction of
three new offices, a media studio, and a media class-
room. The second floor dressing/costume rooms, and
third floor projection room and control room are also
being renovated. To meet ADA standards, the re-
strooms will be renovated, new ramps will be installed
to provide wheelchair access to the lower auditorium,
and five wheelchair lifts will allow access to all levels.
	 “One of the biggest challenges is the high
ceiling,” said Garcia. “We had to provide a 20-foot-
high scaffold on the interior to allow our carpenters
to get up underneath the structural steel to install fin-
ishes. There will be some new walls we need to hang
in the ceiling at the new lighting balcony, and we’re
going to provide some anchor points to install ova-
tion panels.”
	 Nan Inc will self-perform the carpentry and dry-
wall installation. Carpenters will hang ovation panels
to simulate clouds, as well as sound-ready boards
for noise control. They will also do the finish work for
the media rooms, offices, projection room, and ticket
booth.
	 The project is expected to be at peak man-
power in July or August of 2015, with around 15 to 20
carpenters on-site.
	 When Nan Inc completes the renovation in
January 2016, the auditorium will include seating for
790 guests.

Damien Memorial School’s New
Athletic Building Under Construction
	 Construction is underway on Damien Memorial School’s
first new building in three decades. General contractor Ralph S.
Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI) is constructing the Clarence T.C. Ching Ath-
letic Building—a 5,300-square-foot building that will accommo-
date mat sports, such as wrestling and judo.
	 “This is an inspirational project for us because the school
and administration is really looking forward to this building,” said
RSI Vice President Michael Inouye. “When they held the ground-
breaking, all of the students came out.”
	 The building will be a pre-engineered metal structure. RSI
carpenters will complete the concrete formwork for a concrete re-
taining wall, footings, and slabs. They will also perform the finish
carpentry. Subcontractor S & G Construction has been selected to
complete the metal-stud framing and drywall installation.
	 When RSI completes the project in August 2015, the athlet-
ic building will feature a multi-purpose gym/wrestling area, show-
ers, lockers, restrooms, a weight room, and office space.
	 “This is a dream come true for us to build this athletic build-
ing,” said Damien Memorial School President Bernard Ho. “The
judo and wrestling teams currently train in the cafeteria and have
to clear tables and lay out their mat at each practice. The new
athletic building will allow them to hold more effective practices.
We were fortunate to have the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation,
corporations, community donors, and board members contribute
to our school to construct this new building.”
	 With Damien Memorial School’s student body nearly dou-
bling from 365 to 655 students within the last three years, the
school has a master plan to further redevelop its campus.
	 “This is just the first of several buildings we have planned,
but we are trying to be realistic by funding one building at a time,”
said Ho. “We started a capital campaign to build a music building
because the number of band students has grown by 50 percent,
and our current music building is a temporary building that is 35
years old. Our master plan includes a new administration building
and library, and a new track and field.”

the concrete formwork and finish carpentry, including
the installation of doors, frames, and bathroom acces-
sories. Eagle Interiors Inc. will do the drywall installation.
	 When RSI completes the project in September
2016, the new synthetic turf field and six-lane polyure-
thane track will be used for football, soccer, graduation,
ROTC, and the marching band. The company is also
currently working on the Kawananakoa Middle School
auditorium renovation, phase one of Leeward Commu-
nity College’s Waianae Coast Campus renovation, and
Honolulu Federal Credit Union’s new main branch and
administrative offices in Moiliili.
	 Farrington High School’s master plan involves
a total of nine phases over the course of 15 years. The
school has plans to demolish and rebuild several build-
ings, including its current gymnasium and cafeteria.
	 General contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI)
is working on the first phase of Farrington High School’s
Long Range Development Master Plan. The $15 million
project involves the demolition of the existing Kusunoki
Field and the perimeter track, tennis courts, and parking
lot adjacent to North King Street.
	 “We’re redoing the football field and track,” said
RSI Vice President Michael Inouye. “We’re also building
a storage building, ticket booth, press box, main bleach-
ers, and a 7,300-sqaure-foot ALS (Athletic Locker/Show-
er) building with lockers, showers, a training room, stor-
age room, and equipment room.”
	 The ALS building will be constructed with CMU
(concrete masonry units) and steel, but there will also be
poured-in-place concrete, concrete beams, and concrete
columns. Inouye says that RSI carpenters will self-perform

In June, apprentices from
across the state participated
in the United Brotherhood
of Carpenter's (UBC) Third-
Year Program at the Inter-
national Training Center in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The 16
apprentices attended work-
shops, a question and an-
swer session with contrac-
tors, and toured the facility.
The goal of the program is
to give seasoned appren-
tices a better understand-
ing of the role they play in
the construction industry as
well as how professionalism,
productivity, skill, and atti-
tude contribute to their own
success.

  • 1. JULY2015 OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE HAWAII REGIONAL COUNCIL OF CARPENTERS
  • 2. by RONALD I.TAKETA Executive Secretary-Treasurer The TMT would put Hawaii on the map as more than just a tourist destination. It will be an international center for scien- tific exploration that exists nowhere else in the world. Texas has The Johnson Space Center, Florida has Cape Canaveral, California has Livermore National Laboratory, Illinois has the Fermilab Particle Accelerator Laboratory... and Hawaii will soon be included in this exclu- sive group. The TMT will create jobs and help our economy. It is a $1.4 billion project that will generate hundreds of millions of dollars that will support essential services and local busi- nesses. It will create hundreds of good-paying construction jobs and permanent positions to operate the facility. To be fair, the opponents to TMT have raised many legitimate concerns. The Univer- sity of Hawaii has been lax in the overall man- agement of Mauna Kea and its cultural and re- ligious significance. Governor Ige has correctly criticized U.H. over these concerns, including the abundance of tour busses and commercial activity that jams the slopes of Mauna Kea. Governor Ige has also determined that the “decommissioning”—or removal—of old- er telescopes must be accelerated to reduce the overall footprint on Mauna Kea, and that U.H. must develop a stronger stewardship plan that will protect the mountain and cul- tural lands in the future. We are in total agreement with Gover- nor Ige on these points, and the University of Hawaii is now working to correct these issues. However, even if all of the governor’s concerns are addressed, I do not believe that it will sat- isfy the more adamant protesters who have vowed to obstruct construction of the TMT. This is unfortunate, but when you consider the proud Hawaiian tradition of astronomy, the educational, scientific, and economic value of the project, and the civic pride that comes with being the best in the world, TMT deserves our total support. The sponsors of TMT have followed all of the rules. They have obtained all of the approvals, and they now have all of the nec- essary permits. TMT has earned the right to move forward and must be allowed to do so. W e have supported the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) on Mauna Kea from the beginning, and despite the on- going controversy over this project, we are still staunch supporters of this once- in-a-lifetime opportunity. The TMT will help make Hawaii the as- tronomy hub of the world. The project is fund- ed by leading universities and research organi- zations, and will create hundreds of good local jobs in the fields of science and technology. The TMT has committed more than a million dollars a year to education and job training in science, technology, engineering, and math in the state, so Hawaii residents are prepared for these high-paying jobs in the fu- ture. The TMT has gone through a rigor- ous seven-year state and local approval process that has been open and transpar- ent. There were more than 20 meetings for public input and an Environmental Impact Study found the project meets all conserva- tion requirements. During that process, the sponsors met with Native Hawaiian groups like Kahu Ku Mauna and made changes to address their concerns. As part of that effort, the sponsors chose the TMT site because it is on land that will not impact ancient burials or shrines, and can’t be seen from other sacred lands. And TMT will continue the tradition of ancient Polynesians who used the stars to navigate the Pacific to discover Hawaii. The current world voyage of the Hoku- lea and its sister vessel Hikianalia is a perfect example of the expertise and love for astrono- my that continues in the Hawaiian community today. The “high tech” astronomy that TMT represents is merely an extension of space exploration that started centuries ago in the islands of Polynesia. Since that time, Hawaii has become the home of astronomy in the U.S., and a world leader in this field, employing nearly 1,400 lo- cal residents. The TMT Observatory Corpora- tion was founded by a group of leading sci- ence organizations that chose the Big Island over other sites because of its unique benefits for research. Mauna Kea, which rises 14,000 feet above the ocean, has a climate that is stable, dry, and cold, which are important factors for clear vision for a telescope.
  • 3. THE HAWAII CARPENTER 2015 No. 003 General contractor Nan Inc is working on the second phase of the Wheeler Combat Aviation Brigade Complex. The $69.7 million project in- cludes two, six-story barracks designed for 202 soldiers of the 25th Infantry Divi- sion Combat Aviation Brigade. “These barracks will have 101 units with two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen,” said Stan Sagum, direc- tor of development for Nan Inc. “It’s very similar to the Unaccompanied Enlisted Personnel Housing facility we built at Helemano.” Both buildings will have CMU (concrete masonry unit) exterior walls. The ground floor will be constructed with cast-in-place concrete, and the sec- ond through sixth floors will have precast concrete planks with concrete toppings. The project also includes a 7,000-square- foot central utility plant that will house the barrack’s cooling towers and a stor- age and recycling area. Nan Inc will self-perform the car- pentry and drywall installation on the project. “Between the first through third quarter of next year, we will be running KEITH HIROTA President KYLE CHOCK Vice President RONALD I.

  • 4. Construction continues on Kapiolani Medical Cent- er for Women and Children’s new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) tower. Signatory contractors Layton Construction Co. Inc. and dck pacific construction LLC are working in a joint venture to build the six-story, 200,000-square-foot tower and two- story generator building. “dck pacific has completed the concrete founda- tion in the basement and slab-on-metal decking on all floors,” said Warren Chaiko, vice president of design & construction for Hawaii Pacific Health, Kapiolani’s parent company. “They are now working on the loading dock concrete and generator building concrete walls.” BEK Inc. is the drywall subcontractor for the pro- ject. The company is completing the elevator and stair tower shaft walls, as well as the exterior metal-stud fram- Interior Work Underway on Kapiolani’s NICU/PICU Tower ing on the north, west, and south sides of the tower. BEK drywallers are also working on the interior wall framing and drywall installation, with approximately 10 percent of the interior work finished. The new tower will include 70 private NICU rooms, 14 private PICU rooms, and 12 private medical-surgical rooms. All of the rooms are equipped with medical gases, emergency power and data for patient monitoring sys- tems, and nurse call systems. Some of the rooms will also be equipped to serve as isolation rooms with negative room pressure to mitigate the spread of contagious dis- eases. The team is pursuing LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) silver certification for the pro- ject, which is scheduled for completion in November 2016. (left to right): Service Rep.

  • 5. After heavy rains prompted a roof collapse three years ago, Farrington High School’s auditorium is undergoing a much-needed renovation. General contractor Nan Inc began work on the $10.6 million project this April. “When we started this project, the auditorium looked like it had a sunroof,” said Nan Inc Project Manager Emerson Garcia. “In addition to the roof re- pair, we’re renovating both the interior and exterior. Right now, we’re gutting everything out. We will also upgrade the building to make it ADA (American with Disabilities Act) compliant.” The renovation involves the construction of three new offices, a media studio, and a media class- room. The second floor dressing/costume rooms, and third floor projection room and control room are also being renovated. To meet ADA standards, the re- strooms will be renovated, new ramps will be installed to provide wheelchair access to the lower auditorium, and five wheelchair lifts will allow access to all levels. “One of the biggest challenges is the high ceiling,” said Garcia. “We had to provide a 20-foot- high scaffold on the interior to allow our carpenters to get up underneath the structural steel to install fin- ishes. There will be some new walls we need to hang in the ceiling at the new lighting balcony, and we’re going to provide some anchor points to install ova- tion panels.” Nan Inc will self-perform the carpentry and dry- wall installation. Carpenters will hang ovation panels to simulate clouds, as well as sound-ready boards for noise control. They will also do the finish work for the media rooms, offices, projection room, and ticket booth. The project is expected to be at peak man- power in July or August of 2015, with around 15 to 20 carpenters on-site. When Nan Inc completes the renovation in January 2016, the auditorium will include seating for 790 guests.

General contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI) is constructing the Clarence T.C. Ching Ath- letic Building—a 5,300-square-foot building that will accommo- date mat sports, such as wrestling and judo. “This is an inspirational project for us because the school and administration is really looking forward to this building,” said RSI Vice President Michael Inouye. “When they held the ground- breaking, all of the students came out.” The building will be a pre-engineered metal structure. RSI carpenters will complete the concrete formwork for a concrete re- taining wall, footings, and slabs. They will also perform the finish carpentry. Subcontractor S & G Construction has been selected to complete the metal-stud framing and drywall installation. When RSI completes the project in August 2015, the athlet- ic building will feature a multi-purpose gym/wrestling area, show- ers, lockers, restrooms, a weight room, and office space. “This is a dream come true for us to build this athletic build- ing,” said Damien Memorial School President Bernard Ho. “The judo and wrestling teams currently train in the cafeteria and have to clear tables and lay out their mat at each practice. The new athletic building will allow them to hold more effective practices. We were fortunate to have the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, corporations, community donors, and board members contribute to our school to construct this new building.” With Damien Memorial School’s student body nearly dou- bling from 365 to 655 students within the last three years, the school has a master plan to further redevelop its campus. “This is just the first of several buildings we have planned, but we are trying to be realistic by funding one building at a time,” said Ho. “We started a capital campaign to build a music building because the number of band students has grown by 50 percent, and our current music building is a temporary building that is 35 years old. Our master plan includes a new administration building and library, and a new track and field.” (left to right): Oliver Tamayo, Gilbert Butin, and Service Rep.

Eagle Interiors Inc. will do the drywall installation. When RSI completes the project in September 2016, the new synthetic turf field and six-lane polyure- thane track will be used for football, soccer, graduation, ROTC, and the marching band. The company is also currently working on the Kawananakoa Middle School auditorium renovation, phase one of Leeward Commu- nity College’s Waianae Coast Campus renovation, and Honolulu Federal Credit Union’s new main branch and administrative offices in Moiliili. Farrington High School’s master plan involves a total of nine phases over the course of 15 years. The school has plans to demolish and rebuild several build- ings, including its current gymnasium and cafeteria. General contractor Ralph S. Inouye Co. Ltd. (RSI) is working on the first phase of Farrington High School’s Long Range Development Master Plan. The $15 million project involves the demolition of the existing Kusunoki Field and the perimeter track, tennis courts, and parking lot adjacent to North King Street. “We’re redoing the football field and track,” said RSI Vice President Michael Inouye. “We’re also building a storage building, ticket booth, press box, main bleach- ers, and a 7,300-sqaure-foot ALS (Athletic Locker/Show- er) building with lockers, showers, a training room, stor- age room, and equipment room.” The ALS building will be constructed with CMU (concrete masonry units) and steel, but there will also be poured-in-place concrete, concrete beams, and concrete columns.
