The kids were laughing at one of the cranes lifting a porta-potty way into the air, but I didnt get a shot.

I wanted to get a shot too, but was too slow. The caption was going to be, "To match the kitchenettes, they are installing prefab toilets at Nanea!"

PS. Thanks Denise for moving my photos here.

Here is the shot. Delivering the "prefab" toilet.

One week's construction progress

Here are two photos to show the progress made in one week on the building labeled Wing 1. They use upside down L shaped forms to pour the walls and ceiling of a level at the same time. Of course the ceiling of one level is the floor of the level above.

This first photo was taken on Monday morning, Sept. 14. In this photo level 2 walls and level 3 floor have been poured on the right 1/3 of the building. If you look carefully you can see the ironwork is in place for them to pour middle section, which they did on Monday afternoon. The hammerhead section only has level 1 poured. It is waiting for the forms for level 2 to be set.

The following photo is a week later, taken on Friday evening, Sept 18. You can see that they have finished pouring the middle section level 2, and started to remove the forms. They have set the level 2 forms on the hammerhead section (on left) and the ironwork is in place for the floor. I expect they will pour the ceiling and walls for level 2 hammerhead first thing on Monday.

To the right of this area is Wing 2. It's construction is still pretty much in the foundation stage. They are also working on what I expect is the lobby/registration area and the parking structure. Other wings do not appear to have been started yet. There is a big pile of dirt where Wing 8 will be.

Hope you find this interesting.

I'm wondering what will happen to the indigenous trees along the beach in front of the new property:

There are only a couple trails to the beach through the trees.

Comparison photos of two weeks construction

Here is a photo taken two weeks ago on Sept 14.

Here is a photo taken on Friday morning, Sept 25.

You can see the progress made on Wing 1 in about two weeks. In the nearly two weeks were watched, they completed pouring all of the second story and have erected the forms for the "handle" part of the third story (right side of building). They still have steel reinforcement rods to install for the floor, so it did not look like they would be ready to pour the third story until Monday or Tuesday.

Given this progress it looks like they can complete pouring a story in about 11-12 working days. (They did a little work on the Saturday we were there, but not a full crew.)

Given the progress made while we were there, I expect they could be done pouring concrete for Wing 1 in another 7 weeks or so. From there, it looks like they will move to Wing 2 and start pouring there.

Westin Nanea Ocean Villas Construction

We stayed at WKORVN this past weekend and took some photos of the construction progress.

 

[PamMo]

Wow! Construction is really moving along. Thanks for posting the photos, Syed.

 

[Syed]

I am impressed at the pace the construction is moving along. I dont think the new development will affect the views of the owners/guests staying in buildings 7 and 8 in the North villas.

Nice pictures. Thanks for the update. I too am surprised that the construction is moving that fast, especially in Hawaii.
