In addition to supplying numerous temporary structures for disaster recovery applications, Sprung has also been called upon for more permanent solutions for a wide variety of disaster recovery applications.
Pai’olu Kaiaulu, meaning “lift of encouragement as the journey begins”. This Sprung structure is a homeless transitional shelter for singles and families who have been living on the beaches and parks along the Leeward Coast of O’ahu, Hawaii.
Pai’olu Kaiaulu features two main Sprung structures. One structure has 62 living units for families, while the second has 55 units for singles and couples, for a total of 117 units. The units range in size from 80 to 144 square feet, with 8 feet high walls, a lockable door, and a window in most units. Each unit is partially furnished with beds, a dresser, a place to hang clothes and shelving. A third structure, which connects the two resident structures, contains a common area for meeting and socializing, a conference room, counseling space, computer training area and offices for the social service providers, management and security staff.
Sprung structures provide an innovative, cost effective building alternative which dramatically accelerates construction time lines while providing complete flexibility for the future.
