2023 Job Site Tour & Pau Hana

The 2023 Job Site Tour & Pau Hana happened on August 16, 2023. CLC and GCA members were able to tour the Sand Island Wastewater Treatment Plant job site, courtesy of Hensel Phelps (HP). HP staff gave a presentation on how the plant will work, then members were taken to the job site where they learned more on how the project is being constructed.

After the tour, members headed to La Mariana Sailing Club, located down the road for some drinks and pupu.

Mahalo Hensel Phelps for allowing our members to observe your site!
