Castle & Cooke builds livable communities with quality homes, park & recreation center. Community is well planned and Community Association are in place to maintain a standard that insures values Royal Contracting is a General Engineering Contractor and has been in business for over 60 years and 35 of those years has included work with Castle & Cooke. The 1st phases of Koa Ridge construction involve connecting roads & utilities to existing improvements. During this period of mixed economic signals, Royal has assembled a team to deliver the essentials of any site development. Utilities and roadways will be finished 2 months in advance to provide growing time for landscaping and installation of public utilities. We work with their schedules and focus on the unique project requirements. One of the major connections was for drainage that requires construction of a box culvert under a 4-lane highway. Work hours were to start at 8:30pm and end at 4:30am to accommodate daytime traffic. Besides a short work night, Royal had to work within a noise variance since homes were adjacent. Noise variance rules allowed use of a hoeram to fracture rock between the hours of 8:30pm to 10:30pm. This was not efficient so Royal elected to tunnel under existing traffic during the day. Beams and steel plates were installed and excavation of rock and pouring of concrete for the box culvert were accomplished without complaints from the public. Construction time was reduced by 2 months. Opening of Koa ridge was on schedule and the smiles of homeowner was a bonus to Castle & Cooke & our employees. Royal considers employees, reputation & integrity as our core value in building Hawaii with Pride and Aloha. ...... For more information, please contact lokeleong@twc.com
