MKA ROLE

Structural Engineer

Honolulu, HI
Ward Village Auahi Shops

In addition to structural engineering solutions for this two-story retail building, MKA designed pedestrian bridges connecting shoppers to an existing parking structure also designed by MKA. To address the site’s underlain and sensitive burial layers, MKA designed and implemented a driven-pile foundation with shallow caps, thereby minimizing impacts to the burials below.
