Hawaiian Electric first installed cables across the Ala Wai Canal in 1956 to provide Waikiki with additional electric power capacity. They include the McCully/Moiliili Neighborhood Board, Waikiki Neighborhood Board, area elected officials, businesses and residents along the construction route, City Department of Parks and Recreation, Department of Education, Ala Wai Elementary School, Iolani School, and the Waikiki Improvement Association. Hawaiian Electric has also conducted archaeological and cultural studies required of a project in Waikiki.Īn extensive program of outreach is continuing with individuals and communities on both sides of the Canal. Hawaiian Electric will make every effort to limit closed traffic lanes, noise and dust.Īs part of an environmental assessment, feedback was sought from the community and descendants of families that traditionally lived in the area. As with any major construction, however, some short-term impacts are unavoidable.
To minimize disruption from conventional trenching in the city streets, Hawaiian Electric will use horizontal directional drilling to install the new cables. View full-size Ala Wai Cable Relocation Proposal Map
