This is the foundation pier for HART's (#Oahu #Hawaii) light rail line, within 300 feet of the shoreline (which is covered up by a freeway and piers). That looks like standard steel 14 or 18 rebars, doesn't it? And in the steel shaft you can see the standing water from the water line (salty ocean water). I'm wondering why they didn't use GFRP rebars? Was it part of the cost-cutting? If so, that seems like a poor choice in cost cuts.

Over 5,500 people told to evacuate floods on Oahu's North Shore

More than 200 people were rescued Friday as heavy rains pummeled the Hawaiian island of Oahu and triggered the worst flooding the island has in 20 years. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green says the damage could top $1 billion. Muddy floodwaters from severe rains have inundated communities and prompted evacuation orders for more than 5,500 people in towns north of Honolulu. Officials are warning about the possible failure of a 120-year-old dam. Officials have been watching dam levels since a storm last week dumped heavy rain across the state, which led to catastrophic flooding that washed away roads and homes.

“The National Weather Service had forecast that there may be some potential for severe weather earlier in the week,” [Molly] Pierce [spokesperson for the Department of Emergency Management] said, “but they did not have any understanding of what the severity of that would be.”

Oh, the same NWS that was gutted by DOGE last year? It's almost as if they need money and resources to help predict things that could get people killed...
