Lowe’s has been at the current location of Maui Marketplace since 1999 and the new store is only moving a short distance down the road. Lowe’s will be one of the anchor stores for the Marketplace.

What’s New at Robinson Construction Co.
Educating the Local Community
Recently, one of our site superintendents, Andrew Palomaki, visited the AP Environmental Science class at Central Kitsap High School in Silverdale, Washington.
Bill Wilson, the class teacher, contacted us regarding the Silverdale Trails project. He asked that we come and present to his classes information on construction stormwater management and environmental challenges construction companies face. The presentation included many hot topics such as site preparation, installation of infrastructure to control stormwater runoff, installation of permanent stormwater structures to mitigate effects on local water sheds and careers in the construction industry.
The presentation was a success!
“Students are now aware of all the hoops that construction companies have to jump through to protect the environment…It raised their awareness of future career options in construction management.”
-Bill Wilson, Central Kitsap High School
Silverdale Trails – Site Progression
UPDATED 11/19/14 The jobsite cam is now in operation. Click here to see the progress.
At the Silverdale Trails site, we have completed over 33,500 SF of lock and load retaining walls and paved the construction entrance. Through the use of a wheel wash system, we have been able to control the amount of mud tracked onto the public roads.
The site is now to grade and over the next couple of weeks we will be building the soldier pile walls on the northwest corner of the site. We will also be setting the 240 panel precast cover for the storm water detention vault, beginning installation of underground utilities, and installing rock for the future parking lot.
Building construction is set to begin early 2015.
