McDonald’s
of Hawaii desired an outlet designed to meet the demands presented by a
harsh tropical environment where utilities are not yet on par with U.S.
standards. In addition, a special challenge presented by the
terms of the land lease required that no soil be removed from the
construction site, even though the construction would produce a
significant amount of excess cut clay material to make the site
accessible. EFC Engineers & Architects (EFC) served on the design team for the world’s first completely self-sufficient McDonald’s outlet. The Saipan McDonald’s relies on its own utilities for sewer, water and power. The project, considered one of the most complex of its kind, included a complete on-site wastewater treatment plant, sea water wells, reverse osmosis water treatment, generators with sound attenuation walls, fuel storage facilities, and fire fighting capabilities. The restaurant also required solid-state programmable kitchen equipment, intricate alarms and sensors, customized interior finishes and other high technology equipment. Portions of the excess clay soil were redistributed, mixed, recompacted and used in non-critical areas within the site. The remaining excess soil was transferred to an adjoining sublot. EFC’s role as a construction manager involved micro-management of the project to ensure compliance with McDonald’s strict corporate standards. |
