Hu Honua expects to resume onsite operations with a full team of employees and contractors before the end of the year, according to a press release issued Friday afternoon.

The activity on the site would include final site preparation, delivery of specialized equipment and construction mobilization.

The accelerated activity comes after Hu Honua and Honolulu-based Hawaiian Dredging Construction Company reached a settlement to resolve a contractual dispute between the parties related to the refurbishment of HHB’s renewable energy facility in Pepeekeo.

Specific terms of the settlement are covered by a confidentiality agreement.

Refurbishment activity, including survey and permitting work, has been underway for the final phase of construction, which is expected to be complete within 12 months, following full mobilization.

In late October, HHB received two shipments of specialized equipment in Hilo — a custom re-injection system and air quality emission control operating system.

Additional specialized equipment, including fuel handling and the remaining emissions control equipment, has been fabricated and is in route to Hilo from the mainland.
