Industry Day Goals: - To ensure synergy between DoD and Industry representatives - Provide Industry with latest project elements and performance requirements - Incorporate Industry comments into the project development process - Embrace LEED Engineering and Natural alternative construction materials - Communicate USACE requirements - Gain a better understanding of recent Industry developments ABSTRACT: Congress authorized and funded the Ala Wai Canal Flood Risk Management Project for implementation based on a signed Chief's Report and Feasibility Report with Integrated Environmental Impact Statement. The project includes a series of non-separable elements: 6 Debris and Detention Basins, 3 multipurpose detention basins, 1 standalone debris catch structure, mitigation, and a flood warning system The elements in the report were authorized based on the economic justification and environmental compliance to meet the performance requirements and reduce risk to the community, infrastructure, and economy. While the elements are approved, construction methodology; construction materials; footprint; as well as design criteria need to be identified to move from a feasibility level of design through the 35%, 65%, and 90% phases, necessary to reach a final approved product. The Corps of Engineers Honolulu District is working in partnership with the State of Hawaii and the City and County of Honolulu to identify the Federal Project standard and betterments added by the partners for implementation. All project features must meet the minimum safety requirements established through Federal and State Dam safety requirements, as well as levee safety requirements. All features are subject to a review by agency experts, as well as a group of external peer experts from the industry and academia. Nothing in this industry day is a guarantee of future partnerships, contract commitment, or future workload.
