Internship Description:
The HECO power generating station number four is located in Campbell Industrial Park at 91-196 Hanua Street next to H-Power. Once operational, this generating station will be the forth and newest one on the island of O’ahu. The purpose of this new power generating station is pretty self explanatory, it is to provide power to communities and relieve the strain of demand, caused by housing development and increasing technology, from the other three power plants on the island. My job, as an intern, is to keep track of the costs of the job through invoicing, keep track of materials needed to perform the job and ordering parts as necessary, update the plan book as change orders seem to come in daily, perform crew inspections, which means to check on the progress each crew of the heavy division has made throughout the day and any other instructions directed to me from my superiors. The project is expected to be completed in November of this year. The dedication ceremony has also been set for November.
