Excavation in Hanalei
Hanalei is one of the wettest inhabited places in the U.S. — every excavation job here lives or dies by drainage and access planning along Kūhiō Highway.
Working on the ground in Hanalei
Saturated alluvial soils on the Hanalei floodplain, frequent road closures from rain, and SMA (Special Management Area) constraints near the bay.
What we run here
Elevated foundation pads, drainage and french drain installs, septic conversions where cesspools sit near the wetland, and limited-access excavation behind town.
Your cesspool priority zone
the hawaiʻi department of health classifies every cesspool on the island into a priority zone based on proximity to drinking water, streams, the coastline, and sensitive ecosystems. here is what shows up inside Hanalei.
working target: convert by 2030
high-priority zone, these cesspools sit closest to drinking water wells, streams, the coastline, or sea-level rise zones. flagged for fastest conversion.
2030 and 2035 are working targets recommended by the hawaiʻi cesspool conversion working group and reflected in kauaʻi county's grant prioritization. the only deadline in current law is january 1, 2050 under act 125. zone assignments are read from the doh prioritization tool.
