C oming in again at No. 8, Kiewit strating the steadiness expected from a general contractor that builds large infrastructure proj- ects across North America. Kiewit earned $210.4 million in Hawaii-based revenue last year, a 15.2 percent increase over the company’s adjusted 2021 income of $182.4 million. Kiewit also expanded its corporate footprint, acquiring Weeks Marine Inc. and its subsidiary, Infrastructure West Co. keeps the same spot among Hawai‘i’s Top 25 Contractors it held last year, demon-
Healy Tibbitts Builders Inc., in January. (Healy Tibbitts is also a 2023 Hawai‘i Top 25 Contractor.) Kiewit’s completed 2022 projects include a large agricultural water tank for the Department of Hawaiian Home Lands, two Drum Road improvements, Wheeler Airfield Apron Phase 1, emergency repairs to the Kolekole and Nanue bridges, the H-1 Airport Viaduct, Waimanalo Gulch Cell E8 Liner and Kuakini Stairs. Eighty-nine percent of Kiewit’s Hawai‘i work is performed in the public sector, and 35 percent of it is usually subcontracted. Parent company Kiewit Corp. is headquartered in Nebraska. Ongoing 2023 projects include Kapalama Wharf & Dredging, the final phase of the state’s Kapalama Container Terminal modern- ization; Hamakua Coast and Wailua River bridge repairs; improvements to Drum Road at Helemano Military Reservation; Wheeler Airfield Apron Phase 2; Ford Island and Tripler water- lines; Waimea Wastewater Treatment Plant R-1 Water Storage; a Kailua roundabout; Moanalua Freeway lighting projects; and Runway 8L, taxi- ways and shoulders at the Honolulu airport. With increased federal funding for Hawai‘i infrastructure projects already in play and projected through next year, Kiewit’s strong lineup will likely increase into 2024. – Brett Alexander-Estes
