Ala Wai Canal Improvements
A part of the State of Hawai‘i’s Department of Land and Natural Resources’ (DLNR) Ala Wai Canal improvement project involves dredging and removing material out of the canal.
Some of the Healy Tibbitts Builders (a subsidiary of Weeks Marine) equipment and vessels being used in the dredging operations are moored in the Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor.

The dredged material will be loaded on to a split-hull dump scow. The scow will be towed out to sea to the South O‘ahu Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site, where the material will be deposited.
The Ala Wai Canal was last dredged in 2002.
