(CTA) Central Terminal Area Improvements, the Terminal 4 Connector and as a member of the presentation team I helped Turner win the $1,200,000,000 Midfield Terminal.
I was published in the US Military Engineer Magazine in 2000 for my design of a (BMS) Building Management System modification that saved the Honolulu International Airport more than $1,000,000 in energy costs its 1st year of operation and is recognized by the State of Hawaii as the designer of record.
In 2015, while working with scientists from New Mexico, I was instrumental in helping the development a technology that allows deep earth gradiometric surveys to locate and avoid damaging utilities. Surveys from the surface are conducted which significantly reduces risk during excavation. This is a new technology previously unavailable to the commercial construction industry.

Partial Airport Project List & Details
Central Building & 2nd Level Roadways Inter-Island Terminal: This project was the construction of a new 20 gate Inter-Island Terminal at the Honolulu International Airport with aircraft hard stands, fueling systems, loading bridges, airline tenant improvements, restaurants, a 1,800 vehicle parking garage, 125,000 square feet of offices, the first Automatic People Mover (APM) monorail station at the airport, new freeway entrances and elevated roadways to approach and depart the airport, pedestrian bridges, moving walkways and transportation courts.
Terminal Makai Pier, Phase I and Mauka Pier: This project was the construction of a new 6 gate extension to the Inter-Island Terminal at the Honolulu International Airport with aircraft hard stands, fueling systems, loading bridges, airline tenant improvements, pedestrian bridges and transportation courts and a memorial garden.
Airport Runway & Taxiway Lighting Replacement: This project was an upgrade of a portion of the existing Runway & Taxiway light systems for the Honolulu International Airport. Work included the installation of a Crouse-Hinds, Digitrac, Lighting monitoring & control system, new fixtures, new cabling, isolation transformers, current regulators, emergency generator and vault modifications.
Airport Security System: This project was the upgrade of existing airport wide security system and new systems installations for the New Inter-Island Terminal Complex and miscellaneous locations at the Honolulu International Airport. It included head end processing & monitoring equipment as well as new Card Key access control card reader stations, control, video monitoring and audio monitoring apparatus. Replacement, modification and modernization of systems underground communications network.
Electrical Distribution System Modernization: This project provided and installed a 12kV, 1.2 Megawatt Emergency power generator to support the New Inter-Island Terminal Complex at the Honolulu International Airport. The system was unique due to it being a completely self contained, trailer mounted power generation station. The system including the generator, 2,000 gallons of fuel, paralleling and synchronization equipment on board to connect and synchronization with the local utility power. Underground duct banks, raceways, manholes, hand holes were installed to accommodate the new power and control distribution systems.
Emergency Power System: This project includes a conversion of the existing 4,16 kV emergency power generating stations, underground distribution systems and facility substations to a new 6 megawatt, 12 kV system, installation of Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) System in conjunction with the Energy Monitoring & Controls System, and also the modernization and computerization of Air Field lighting.
Fire Alarm System: This project was the modernization and expansion of the existing Automatic Fire Detection and Alarm System at the Honolulu International Airport. The principle improvement was converting many, independent systems of multiple manufacturers, in multiple facilities, gates, tenant spaces, etc into one common airport wide system with numerous remote monitoring stations each capable of monitoring the entire airport simultaneously, improved system graphics to precisely identify locations of devices in alarm or trouble and the installation of video enunciators on building exteriors.
Public Address System: This project involved the installation of an Announcement Control System for 62 gates and public areas at the Honolulu International Airport. The project replaced numerous stand alone systems in individual areas and provided one central head end system controlling and communication to and through remote stand alone satellite ACS stations capable of annunciating to and listening to the entire facility, control volume levels, monitor system status, record and play live and permanently digitally recorded messages. Also involved was the new installation and replacement of system speakers as well as the recircuiting and retapping of existing speakers audio transformers.
Energy Monitoring & Controls System: This project was the modernization and expansion of existing airports HVAC control & Energy Monitoring & Controls System to a Johnson Controls Metasys System at the Honolulu International Airport. This system monitors and controls more than 5,000 points for HVAC, Interior & Exterior lighting incorporating ambient light level monitoring, Tenant sub-metering, Fire Alarm and Irrigation. Additionally, the EMCS was interfaced with the Airports Flight Information System allowing real time control of gates and hold rooms based on actual aircraft activity rather than predicted schedules. This $200,000 change order alone resulted in an annual energy cost avoidance of more than $1,000,000 for the Airport.
Other Commercial Projects include:
LA City Hall Seismic Retrofit : This project involved the Historic restoration & Seismic Retro-fit and rehabilitation of the L.A City Hall building constructed in 1928. (the Superman Building). Primary features of work included the modification of building structure to accommodate the installation of seismic disks at each structural column attachment to footings and the creation of a mote at the building perimeter. In the event of an earth movement (earth quake), the City of L.A could move 12 feet in any direction and the building would stand true. Along with the systemic work were the demolition and reconstruction and modernization of all existing mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire alarm, fire sprinkler, communication systems while preserving the integrity of this nationally recognized historic site.
As a Project Manager with Johnson Controls I served in two roles,
(1)I managed the design and installation of controls, instrumentation and Facility Automation Systems for clients such as Sun Micro Systems and the University of California Irvine.
(2)I managed the design and construction of Self Funding, Energy Cost Avoidance, Performance contract projects involving mechanical, electrical, lighting and control system retrofits for clients such as the County of Kern, Los Angeles Unified School District, La Mesa Spring Valley School District, Charter Oak Unified School District
With Intergulf Development Group I assist development with new project design management, construction with project management and ownership with quality control, contra-litigation measures and construction defect defense.
