SITE RENOVATION SLIDE SHOW

Hoku Kai Biofuels Tanks Terminal Hilo Hawaii

Originally built in the 1960’s as an asphalt paving production facility, the site was abandoned in 2005, leaving behind tens of thousands of hardened liquid asphalt in the underground pipeline and above-ground tanks. The remediation and renovation of the site, to become a designated biodiesel terminal, took 8 years and millions of dollars to complete.
