The AGS segment included the largest Cast-In-Drilled-Hole (CIDH) with the deepest reaching 357 feet. HART contractor Shimmick Traylor and Granite (STG) is responsible for the construction of the Airport Guideway and Stations (AGS) segment, which comprises four stations—Makalapa (Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam), Lelepaua (Daniel K. Inouye International Airport), Āhua (Lagoon Drive), and Kahauiki (Middle Street-Kalihi Transit Center). The crews worked and constructed what is believed to be the world’s deepest and largest column foundation.

At a depth of 357 feet and measuring 10 feet in diameter, the column foundation, also known as a drilled shaft caisson, is located near the Keehi Interchange next to the Kalihi Stream - Kamehameha Highway between Middle Street and Pu'uhale Road.

It will be used as a base for a column that will support the rail's elevated guideway and the Kahauiki (Middle Street-Kalihi Transit Center). The column's depth at this location was needed to ensure that the station and guideway would be built on a solid underground foundation.
