Hobas Pipe USA is supplying CCFRPM pipe to the City and County of Honolulu for the Kaneohe-Kailua Wastewater Conveyance Tunnel project. This gravity sewer tunnel will convey wastewater flows from Kaneohe to Kailua while providing wastewater storage to help prevent overflows, especially during heavy rainfall events. More than 90 percent of the Kaneohe-to-Kailua tunnel will be deeper than 100 feet.
16,000 feet of 120-inch and approximately 2,000 feet of 30- to 96-inch pipe is being manufactured in Houston, Texas and transported by cargo ship to Honolulu. The first shipment included 4,000 feet of the 120-inch pipe. It was loaded onto the 692-foot MV Marjorie C in Galveston, Texas, for the ships maiden voyage. The $200 million project is expected to be completed by June 2018.
Hobas manufactures pipe in sizes from 18 inches to 126 inches in pressure and non-pressure classes. For more information, please contact Hobas at 800-856-7473, 281-821-2200 or e-mail at info@hobaspipe.com. Facts are also available at www.hobaspipe.com.
