REDI served as the lead ecological design consultant for the design of integrative water resource management strategies that highlighted ecological services for the 28-acre Kamehameha Schools’ Redevelopment project, Kahalu’u Ma Kai, a highly significant cultural, anthropological, ecological, and educational site. The goals for the project included a restorative approach and one that demonstrates sustainability, resiliency, and interaction with the students and visitors. REDI led the design of the following green infrastructure practices: Low Impact Development for the site, including bioretention gardens and rainwater catchment controls, onsite greywater reuse, and onsite wastewater (blackwater) treatment and reuse using constructed wetland technologies. REDI provided design services from Master Planning through Construction Documentation, including providing cost analysis, Basis of Design reports for the Environmental Assessment, and permitting for the proposed systems with the State of Hawaii Department of Health.
