Royal Kahana Repair Update
Jan 16, 2024
Aloha,
The structural repair work continues, and good progress is being made. During the spalling repairs in the hallways, some damaged post-tension cables were uncovered and will require repair and, in some cases, complete replacement, expanding the scope of work necessary to remediate the structural issues here at Royal Kahana and now will extend any previous completion time lines. As we progress and begin work on the lanais. the remediation efforts could involve replacing of post tension cables in those areas as well. Thus far, it appears that the 5th and 6th floors of stack 15 through 19 have experienced the most damage, likely due to the orientation to trade wind-driven rains. The noise is loudest in this region of the building and will lessen with the completion of the air chiseling needed to properly repair the spalling. The timeline to complete work on all hallways of stacks 10 to 20 is estimated to be 60-90 days. Updates on all aspects of this repair project as we move forward.
Mahalo for your understanding and patience, RickReceived
Dec 28, 2023 from Royal Kahana President:
Structural Repair Update for Dec. 28, 2023
By now, you are aware of the on-going work on the building. The multi-disciplinary team composed of structural engineers, consultants, and support personnel continue to address the structural deficiencies found during an in-depth inspection that took place over the past several months. The scope of the project includes the repair and restoration of corroded rebar that contributes to spalling (cracking and subsequent breaking off of concrete), as well as the repair of post- tension cables that are embedded in the concrete slabs and serve to strengthen these concrete structures.
The good news is that we are making progress on this complex project, and we will keep everyone apprised as to the work that has been completed and work that will be undertaken. The bad news is that while we are all very much aware of the noise and inconvenience this project creates. It is unavoidable, and every effort is being made to keep these and other negative impacts to a minimum. Loud work is only allowed from 9 AM until 4 PM, Monday through Friday. While there is no date certain, most of the drilling and grinding should be complete by mid-January. Once this work is complete, we will be turning our attention to the removal of all floor coverings from all hallways and lanais. An exact timeline and nature of the work to be done will be made available at a later date, but for now, we can assume this work will commence in mid-February.
We will update everyone on the work completed and planned at the end of each week.
Mahalo,
Rick

Hawaii Governor Josh Green today announced the reopening of West Maui on Oct. 8, as the state tries to balance economic survival, and the need for people to have jobs to help their families as they rebuild and recover.
“Many have asked when it will be the right time to reopen West Maui to visitors. There is no easy answer to this question, but I can say that if we support Maui’s economy and keep our people employed, they will heal faster and continue to afford to live on Maui,” said Gov. Green.
Beginning Oct. 8, all travel restrictions will end and West Maui will be open to visitors again, so people from Hawaiʻi and around the world can resume travel and help it begin to recover economically, according to the governor.

WE'RE OPEN !
Maui has a tourism-based economy, and the people of Maui need your business to rebuild after the devastation of the Lahaina fires here on West Maui. As many of you know we have been at the Royal Kahana Resort for 45+ years. Some of our team members along with so many other survivors have lost their homes.
The Governor and Hawaii Tourism Authority picked October 17 as the first day West Maui can officially open. North of Lahaina was unscathed by the fires and we have our homes at the Royal Kahana available at special pricing to entice you to come back to our shores. Enjoy a beautiful vacation while helping Maui rebuild.
We'll provide seamless arrival instructions, impeccable and inspected clean rooms, and of course we're always available to you - even an emergency contact for after-hours.

Aloha,
The fires on Maui have been horrific. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Maui and the many homeowners who have lost or had their homes damaged. The loss of life continues to grow and our hearts break for the island that we consider our second home.
The Royal Kahana has been unharmed by the fires and electricity was restored late Friday night (08/11).
Please don’t count Maui out. As we navigate through this dark chapter, let us remember that the spirit of aloha runs deep within us. Together, the Island will rebuild, heal, and create a better future for Lahaina Town and Maui. We look forward to the day (in the not-too-distant future), when we can welcome you back.
We would ask that you wait a couple of weeks before making your decision to cancel or not. The Island will need tourism to recover; when is too early to travel and enjoy the sun and beaches of Hawaii? We don’t know yet.
Please let us know how you would like to proceed. We respect whatever decision you make for you and your traveling companions.
Much aloha,
Shelly and Dan
