H ensel Phelps moves up a notch to the No. 4 position among Hawai‘i’s Top 25 Contractors this year. The general contractor earned $366,955,000 in 2022, a 39 percent gain over the $264,094,000 earned in 2021. Its Hawai‘i workforce is also larger, with 40 employees added since 2022. Based in Greeley, Colorado, Hensel Phelps tack- les some of Hawai‘i’s largest and most complex projects — 90 percent of them in the public sector — and subcontracts 75 percent of its work. “There was [a] significant decrease in private building permits last year, which means the focus has shifted from private to public sector work,” says Thomas J. Diersbock, Hensel Phelps regional vice president. Focusing on its public sector lineup, Hensel Phelps is ready. Completed 2022 work includes a consolidated training center and renovated facility at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, the USARPAC Command and Control Facility (C2F) Phase 3 at Fort Shafter and a corrosion control hangar at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. In the private sector, the firm completed renovations on the Grand Wailea Resort’s Grand Dining Room and Botero Lounge. “We have also focused on both public and federal wastewater markets and have been steadily acquiring projects in that sector,” Diersbock reports. The firm also won the 2022 GCA of Hawaii

Hensel Phelps’ 17 ongoing 2023 projects include 12 for the U.S. Department of Defense, with seven projects in Guam and the Pacific, along with four wastewater treatment facilities. One, the Synagro Bioconversion Facility upgrades at O‘ahu’s Sand Island treatment plant, continues through October 2028. Ongoing private sector projects include the Grand Wailea Resort Spa Grande renovation, set to wrap in January, and Kaiser Permanente’s Capital Projects Program, slated for a December close. While most new federal construction funding is going towards transportation-related projects, “military installments across Hawai‘i will also benefit to include missile defense, enlisted hous- ing, water and wastewater improvements and harbor repairs,” Diersbock says. “We continue to position ourselves to support this increased federal work in the Pacific Region.” – Brett Alexander-Estes Hensel Phelps completed the Grand Wailea Resort Botero Lounge renovations in 2022.
