Crews recently removed six spans of 46kV electrical cable from overhead poles between Puuhale Road and Kalihi Street.

The first video shows our contractor removing de‑energized high‑voltage overhead conductors.

The second video shows crews coiling the conductor onto a wire‑reel machine for safe handling.

New underground 46kV cables are installed and energized.

Mahalo to our contractors for their continued commitment to safety!

Rebar cages used to reinforce the guideway shafts stand about 75 feet tall and weigh over 20,000 pounds.

Here, you can see a rebar cage being carefully lowered into a drilled shaft along Dillingham Boulevard — a precise operation that sets the foundation for the future guideway structure.

Electrical pole removal is underway along Dillingham Boulevard.

With new infrastructure installed, crews are now removing the old poles. Each pole is secured to a small crane, detached from its foundation, and then cut and lifted out for safe removal.

Check out a time lapse video and photos of the installation of a 138kV transmission pole.

Crews spent several days setting the pole on its foundation, assembling and bolting each section, installing hardware like insulators and davit arms, and tying in the overhead conductors. This work is part of an ongoing effort to relocate electrical utilities along the project corridor.

Stay tuned for more posts on our progress of the energization of electrical poles.
