Introduction

DHOJV is a joint venture between contractors, Flatiron Dragados, Hawaiian Dredging Construction Co., and Orion Government Services. We are proud to be constructing the new dry dock for the Government's Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. Our team of subcontractors and experts are dedicated to delivering high-quality marine infrastructure projects in collaboration with NAVPAC Pacific.

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, founded in 1908,
is the top-performing shipyard in the United States.

Dry Dock 5 will replace Dry Dock 3, one of four existing dry docks at PHNSY & IMF. Dry Dock 3 is the smallest dry dock. The last dry dock to be constructed in Pearl Harbor was in 1943. The new Dry Dock 5 will shoulder this task for the next 150 years. Dry Dock 5 will be 650 feet long — longer than the Washington Monument is tall — 100 feet wide and 55.5 feet deep. The new dock’s job site along the shipyard shore extends across the water to Waipio Peninsula, where the project team has set up an approximately 56-acre staging, laydown and fabrication area. General contractor Dragados/Hawaiian Dredging/Orion Joint Venture (DHO JV) is working on both sides of the water.

Dry Dock History

From coaling station to naval base, Pearl Harbor’s strategic importance

in the Pacific was widely recognized.


1919 — Dry Dock No. 1

Opening Day of Dry Dock No. 1 in Pearl Harbor in 1919.


Dry Dock No. 1 was opened August 21, 1919 and was one of the largest and most modem dry docks in the world. In addition to its immense size, Dry Dock No. 1 was an important engineering and construction feat. Moreover, the dedication of the dry dock signified the dedication of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, since a base without a dry dock was inefficient and unserviceable in time of war. Dry Dock No. 1 was a major focus of the December 7, 1941 attack since 3 ships, including the USS Pennsylvania, were docked here. This resource is one of the most historically significant facilities in the Shipyard and is listed as a Category One historic resource in the 2001 Pearl Harbor Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP). 1,002 feet 5 inches (height) x 138 feet (width) 35 feet (depth)

Introduction

DHOJV is a joint venture between contractors, Flatiron Dragados, Hawaiian Dredging Construction Co., and Orion Government Services. We are proud to be constructing the new dry dock for the Government's Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard and IMF at Joint Base Pearl Harbor Hickam. Our team of subcontractors and experts are dedicated to delivering high-quality marine infrastructure projects in collaboration with NAVPAC Pacific.

Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard, founded in 1908,
is the top-performing shipyard in the United States.

Dry Dock 5 will replace Dry Dock 3, one of four existing dry docks at PHNSY & IMF. Dry Dock 3 is the smallest dry dock. The last dry dock to be constructed in Pearl Harbor was in 1943. The new Dry Dock 5 will shoulder this task for the next 150 years. Dry Dock 5 will be 650 feet long — longer than the Washington Monument is tall — 100 feet wide and 55.5 feet deep. The new dock’s job site along the shipyard shore extends across the water to Waipio Peninsula, where the project team has set up an approximately 56-acre staging, laydown and fabrication area. General contractor Dragados/Hawaiian Dredging/Orion Joint Venture (DHO JV) is working on both sides of the water.

Dry Dock History

—— Explore the Construction of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base ——

From coaling station to naval base, Pearl Harbor’s strategic importance

in the Pacific was widely recognized.


1919 — Dry Dock No. 1

Opening Day of Dry Dock No. 1 in Pearl Harbor in 1919.


Dry Dock No. 1 was opened August 21, 1919 and was one of the largest and most modem dry docks in the world. In addition to its immense size, Dry Dock No. 1 was an important engineering and construction feat. Moreover, the dedication of the dry dock signified the dedication of the Pearl Harbor Naval Base, since a base without a dry dock was inefficient and unserviceable in time of war. Dry Dock No. 1 was a major focus of the December 7, 1941 attack since 3 ships, including the USS Pennsylvania, were docked here. This resource is one of the most historically significant facilities in the Shipyard and is listed as a Category One historic resource in the 2001 Pearl Harbor Integrated Cultural Resource Management Plan (ICRMP). 1,002 feet 5 inches (height) x 138 feet (width) 35 feet (depth)
