An Army military police barracks is Alaska District’s first project to achieve Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold status. Completed in July 2010, the $17.4 million project houses up to 94 enlisted soldiers from the 472nd Military Police Company and 28th Military Police Detachment on Fort Wainwright.
The Alaska District emphasizes safety in all its programs and projects. The Chena Flood Control Project near Fairbanks prepared this water safety float for the community’s annual parade.
Alaska District’s team implemented cost-saving measures, project efficiencies and innovative technologies to execute three concurrent remedial investigations at Formerly Used Defense Sites on remote Tanaga (pictured)and Ogliuga islands. The project received the Secretary of the Army’s highest honor in the field of environmental science and sustainability conferred by the Army.
Nome Harbor is dredged annually by the Alaska District. A recent project changed the entrance and expanded the harbor.
The Eielson Air Force Base chapel’s low maintenance concrete masonry walls and exposed timber structure stand apart yet fit with other buildings on base. Dedicated in 2008, the $12.9 million project replaced a 52-year old building.
The Alaska District served as the design/construction agent for the Bassett Army Community Hospital at Fort Wainwright. The 259,000 sq. ft. facility serves an estimated 25,000 patients in a 46,400 square mile area north of the Alaska Range.
The Alaska District Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS) program removed Air Force radar towers from Saint Lawrence Island.
Break up of ice on the Yukon River in May 2009 destroyed many structures in Eagle and Eagle Village.
