Testimonials

From FEED, construction, all the way through plant commissioning KAHUNA USA has shown the ability to successfully engineer, procure, and manage installation of cryogenic facilities from the ground up. KAHUNA USA has been an absolute blast to work with and has been extremely accommodating to the clients every need.

I have been working with KAHUNA USA for the past 9 years and they have proven to be the best engineering company I’ve worked with at engineering a plant for operation. While most companies engineer to construct, KAHUNA USA engineers to operate. When the construction is done, what really matters is having a plant that can be operated efficiently and effectively. KAHUNA USA provides that at a fair cost.

Working with KAHUNA USA has been like having our own engineering staff in house. Nuevo’s projects have been treated as if they were the only projects KAHUNA USA was working on. “On Time Engineering” isn’t just a catch phrase for Kahuna, they live it every day. In my 40 years in this business I have never worked with a more professional and focused group of engineers that know how to get things done!

C3 Resources facilitates many process hazard analyses (PHAs) at oil and gas facilities throughout the country. Whenever we perform a PHA with KAHUNA USA, we always know the P&IDs will be accurate and detailed, and the participation from the KAHUNA USA engineers will be excellent. The quality of the PHA for the client is always very high due to the preparation and the knowledge coming from KAHUNA USA.

Stonehenge has relied on KAHUNA USA for seven years and counting. From supporting our development efforts, to designing, building and operating our assets, KAHUNA USA is a valuable partner. Our recent midstream business in Pennsylvania was a big success, partly due to an innovative and critically-needed solution by Kahuna.

Prior to KAHUNA USA, I worked with a few other engineering firms to design, large gas gathering compression and dehydration stations from greenfield to completion of project in the northeast U.S. with less than satisfied results. I was introduced to KAHUNA USA, and after the initial interview process selected KAHUNA USA to be our engineering firm on several new compressions station projects. Kahuna assigned one project manager to our account to give us one point of contact to bring together all their services in civil, mechanical, process design and pipe design. KAHUNA USA works with the customer to be as flexible as possible to meet each customer's specific needs and requirements. They are the only engineering firm I call on for gas compression and gas processing engineering needs.

We have worked with Kahuna for nearly a decade on various projects from greenfield cryo plants to relocating amine plants. Kahuna’s scope has almost exclusively been detailed engineering, procurement, and construction management and their performance has always exceeded our expectations. They consistently achieve our timing and budget goals and have always acted with the utmost professionalism. I would gladly recommend KAHUNA USA for any midstream or upstream engineering project without any hesitation.
