Oceanit was awarded the American Society for Civil Engineers Hawaii 2013 Green Project of the Year for its Kawainui Restoration Project work in Windward Oahu.
Through a partnership with the Army Corps of Engineers and the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources Division of Forestry and Wildlife, Oceanit planned, designed and prepared contract documents to rebuild a natural bird sanctuary at Kawainui Marsh in Kailua, Hawaii, using innovative engineering design technologies.
The Kawainui Marsh Project transformed the deteriorating, nonfunctional portion of a wetland into a bird sanctuary within an engineered flood-control system.
