Quarry Faces: November 2021

Hawaiian Cement leaders gave Pit & Quarry tours of two aggregate operations this fall, including a site in Kahului on Maui. In this photo, Keoni DeRego, quarry manager of Hawaiian Cement’s Maui Concrete & Aggregate Division, poses atop the CDE-built wet processing plant that’s in its fifth year of operation in Kahului.

Warren Miguel, who’s been operating Hawaiian Cement’s wet processing plant in Kahului the last five years, also visited with P&Q, sharing his experience with the wet processing plant.

Over on Oahu, Hawaiian Cement’s Brad Tollefsen hopped out of his Cat loader to discuss the similarities and differences in the wet processing plant present at the company’s site in Aiea, Hawaii. Look for full coverage of P&Q’s visits to Hawaiian Cement in an upcoming edition of the magazine.

Nawalaniec, Jacomet and the Ohio contingent – which included three P&Q representatives – lobbied Ohio congressmen to pass the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act.
