Ok saw these today. They were in a line on top of a wall. They're on Kam Highway heading south toward Honolulu just past the tank farm. They looked like they'd been there a while but not left over WWII construction.
Think smooth, curved top concrete tent sized structures in a line along the top of a retaining wall with no space in between structures. There are rebar loops built into the top of each that may or may not have been used to move them around. The structures became a wall in themselves. The color of the weathered concrete blended into the wall underneath them. If they were solid concrete I doubt the rebar loops or handles wouldn't have been strong enough to use to haul them into place using a chain and crane.
I couldn't see the opposite side of the concrete "tents". From what I did see I was thinking Anderson shelter only done in smooth finished concrete.
It got me thinking. Make a connecting hallway structure of similar material to connect each tent? You'd have have a semi-temperament structure. It could be portable and reconfigurable. Being made of concrete, with proper drainage and plumbing and ventilation it could be buried, not sure to what depth.
Maybe I've been watching too much sifi lately? Was also thinking with 3D printing structures this might be perfect for some interesting applications. This could be something? or maybe just a vivid imagination?
