State v. United States Steel Corp.6/24/1996
n the suitability of the use of exposed structural Cor-Ten steel on the new Municipal Stadium in Honolulu.
It is our understanding that the projects building site is located about one thousand (1000) feet from Pearl Harbor, with prevailing winds blowing from inland and that the harbor has very little wave action. Your information to us also indicated that the minimum temperature of the area is about 68 [degrees] F and the average rainfall is approximately forty (40) inches per year.
Our experience and research indicates that unpainted Cor-Ten will perform satisfactorily when exposed in the environment described above and, specifically, airborne salt will not pose a problem since the harbor has little wave action and prevailing winds are from inland.
We therefore recommend that it would be most appropriate for you to continue to consider this excellent application for bare USS Cor-Ten steel.
Based on our past relationship with you, we know you have a full understanding and appreciation of the design characteristics and requirements of this product; however, we would like to confirm our offer to provide you and your client full benefit of our past experience and extensive research in the exposed application of Cor-Ten as your design of Honolulu Municipal Stadium progresses through it's final stage as well as through the fabrication and construction phases of the project.
Thank you for your inquiry and if we can be of any further assistance in regards to this subject or any other matter, please don't hesitate to call on us.
Subsequently, in an internal USX memorandum to F. T. Comee, USX's construction marketing regional manager, Felix wrote:
During the last several weeks, G. Tupac and the writer have been involved in efforts to direct Charles Luckman Associates towards an all steel structure on the above captioned project [the stadium] and, in particular, an exposed Cor-Ten steel design. Our activities, together with Luckman's intense desire to do a Cor-Ten job, has resulted in a preliminary Cor-Ten specification for the stadium requiring approx 5500 tons of Cor-Ten structural shapes, plate and decking.
Earlier this month, we had requested the ARL [applied research lab] give their comments relative to the suitability of exposed Cor-Ten in the Honolulu area based on climatical data provided to us by the architect. Our comments to Luckman, based on Mr. D. J. Carney's letters of September 19, 1968 is attached.
On October 1, I met with Mr. Rudy Veland, Ass't Director of Design for Luckman, who expressed that it would be most beneficial to his firm and important to our mutual interest if we would provide him with a letter signed by an executive of USS for purpose of the prestige that it would lend and that, in addition to having the same content of my letter. Veland requested it also include an offer to have one of our qualified representatives personally visit the building site to confirm its suitability for exposed Cor-Ten and that we also offer to give a presentation of Cor-Ten to Mr. Tsutomu Izumi, Building Supervisor for the City and County of Honolulu. Veland specifically requested that this presentation be the same one that we gave to his client (Dillingham Corporation) on the Wilshire West Plaza project here in Los Angeles a few months ago.
Veland went on to explain that he could than forward this letter to Mr. Izumi and thereby have facility to recommend and arrange a USS meeting with his client.
It is my recommendation that we seriously consider honoring Luckman's request, and in light of Mr. Paddock's personal relationship with Luckman, that his signature on t
