Problem

The Log Cabin Resort faced challenges that compromised visitor satisfaction and safety. Key issues included deteriorated structures, inadequate utility systems, and poor site layout.

Specific problems included:

• • • The existing rustic cabins were outdated and in poor condition, posing safety risks for guests.
    • The resort’s water and sewage systems were insufficient and did not meet modern standards.
    • The layout of the resort caused congestion, affecting the overall guest experience.
    • The facilities did not provide adequate accessibility for all visitors, limiting the resort’s inclusivity.

Solution

HECO Engineers developed and executed a strategic plan to address these issues, ensuring comprehensive improvement. The solution included replacing deteriorated cabins, upgrading utilities, and reconfiguring the site layout.

Key actions taken were:

• • • Eight deteriorated cabins were replaced with new, rustic-style log cabins designed for enhanced safety and comfort. A new facility manager’s structure was also constructed.
    • The project included the replacement of the galvanized water line, installation of a new influent flow meter, prefabricated dual-room control building, and upgrades to the sewage system with a recirculating textile filter treatment system and UV disinfection equipment.
    • Parking areas were redesigned, and accessible pathways were constructed to reduce congestion and improve navigation throughout the site.
    • Electrical and mechanical systems were modernized, and a new generator and fuel storage tank were added to ensure reliable utility services.

Results

The improvements led to substantial benefits, enhancing the resort’s infrastructure and visitor experience.

The project delivered:

• • • Enhanced Visitor Experience: The new cabins and upgraded facilities provide a safer, more comfortable environment for guests.
    • Improved Accessibility: The resort now offers better accessibility features, making it more inclusive for all visitors.
    • Operational Efficiency: Modernized utility systems and infrastructure ensure reliable and efficient operation.
    • Reduced Congestion: Reconfigured parking and pathways enhance the overall flow and accessibility of the resort.
