Ala Wai Canal flood mitigation

In the event of a 100-year flood, the Ala Wai Canal could flood Mānoa and Waikīkī and cause $1.4 billion in damages. Oceanit was brought on to not only design a solution, but work with local communities to lessen the project's impact on residents.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oceanit is a deep-technology engineering company that solves complex problems at the intersection of science, engineering, and innovation. It delivers end-to-end engineering solutions—from concept and modeling through prototyping, community outreach, and deployment—across infrastructure, coastal engineering, and complex ecosystems.

Unlike traditional engineering firms that focus mainly on design services or construction support, Oceanit combines engineering with advanced R&D, materials science, AI, and data analytics. This integrated approach enables Oceanit to tackle high-risk, high-impact challenges and create technologies that go beyond standard off-the-shelf solutions.

Oceanit provides systems engineering, mechanical and structural engineering, materials and corrosion engineering, as well as support for airports, harbors, and highways, artificial reefs, water resources, flood modeling, environmental monitoring and pollution control, dam infrastructure, habitat restoration, and much more. Oceanit performs this work across the state, including on Oʻahu, Maui, Hawaiʻi Island, and Kauaʻi.

From our headquarters in the Pacific, Oceanit is known for engineering solutions that must perform in harsh and extreme conditions, including offshore, subsea, aerospace, military, and high-temperature or corrosive environments. Its teams combine materials expertise, structural engineering, and systems design to deliver solutions that maintain performance where conventional approaches often fail.

Oceanit incorporates data science, AI, and software engineering into its projects to improve modeling, optimization, monitoring, and decision-making. This can include predictive modeling, digital twins, condition-based monitoring, and intelligent control systems that enhance performance and reliability over the life of an engineered system.

Program managers, engineering leaders, R&D teams, asset owners, and technology executives who are facing difficult technical challenges are strong candidates to engage with Oceanit. Organizations seeking advanced engineering solutions, deep-tech innovation, or help moving from concept to deployed system are especially well aligned.
