2022 AGC Excellence Winner

2022 AGC Excellence Winner

The 2022 Associated General Contractors of Alaska Excellence in Construction Awards were announced on Friday, November 11, 2022.

ChemTrack Alaska, Inc.’s, King Salmon Air Station Aircraft Arresting System, took home the trophy for Meeting the Challenge of a Job, Under $5,000,000 Transportation, Marine, Heavy, Earthmoving.

A HUGE THANKS to all of our team who made this project a success!

ChemTrack Alaska, Inc. refurbished the King Salmon Aircraft Arresting System (AAS) in the remote Alaska Bristol Bay fishing town of King Salmon. What is an AAS? Aircraft Arresting Systems serve primarily to save lives by preventing aircraft from overrunning runways in cases where the pilot is unable to stop the aircraft during landing or aborted takeoff operations.

ChemTrack worked on four existing barrier pits that house two pairs of BAK-12 AAS. While the BAK-12s and barrier pits are government property, the airfield is operated by the Alaska Department of Transportation (DOT) under regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Multiple agency coordination was necessary for general work scheduling, airport closures, dig permits, security badging, airfield badging and confined space work plans.  ChemTrack’s contract included structural design, precision demolition to avoid damaging the existing key structural components, complex concrete pours, civil/site work, and electrical design and construction.

The final site construction sequence included a planned 65-hour closure event for the airport and included placement of 16 Arrestor Cable Hold Downs into the airstrip surface. ChemTrack worked simultaneously at both ends of the runway to sawcut asphalt, augur and remove soil, install rebar cages, place concrete, install hold down bolts, hand trowel to 1/8 inch below grade, and cover with blankets for curing. 

Despite the many project challenges, ChemTrack safely refurbished the King Salmon AAS without impeding the busy air traffic of this regional hub and fishing mecca.  

The Parker, Smith & Feek Excellence in Construction Awards are given in recognition of exceptional projects. Companies are judged against the others in its category by independent industry professionals.

Concrete Construction

Artificial stone made of a mixture of cement, aggregate (hard material), and water. In addition to its potential for immense compressive strength and its ability, when poured, to adapt to virtually any form, concrete is fire-resistant and has become one of the most common building materials in the world. The binder usually used today is portland cement. The aggregate is usually sand and gravel. Additives called admixtures may be used to accelerate the curing (hardening) process in low temperature conditions. Other admixtures trap air in the concrete or slow shrinkage and increase strength.

Design Build Construction

The entity contractually responsible for delivering project design and construction. The Design-Builder can assume several organizational structures, the four most common being a firm that possesses both design and construction resources in-house; a joint venture between designer and contractor; a contractor-led team with the designer in a subcontractor role; and a design-led team with the contractor in a subcontractor role.

Steel Frame Buildings

Steel frame usually refers to a building technique with a “skeleton frame” of vertical steel columns and horizontal I-beams, constructed in a rectangular grid to support the floors, roof and walls of a building which are attached to the frame.  The development of this technique made the construction of the skyscraper possible.

Drilling Waste Stabilization/Remediation

Remediation – Cleanup or other methods used to remove or contain a toxic spill or hazardous materials from a site. Stabilization – Conversion of the active organic matter in sludge into inert, harmless material.

Helical Pier Installation

Helical piles are ideal in areas of limited access, such as areas with low overhead or width restrictions.  Installation is unaffected by weather or high water table.  No vibration during installation means no damage to sensitive structures or instrumentation in the construction zone. The term Helical Piers, Screw Piles and Helical Piles are all used interchangeably.

BEARS- Biosurfactant Enhanced Aquifer Remediation System

Biosurfactants are surface-active substances synthesized by living cells. They have the properties of reducing surface tension, stabilizing emulsions, promoting foaming and are generally non-toxic and biodegradable. Biosurfactants enhance the emulsification of hydrocarbons, have the potential to solubilize hydrocarbon contaminants and increase their availability for microbial degradation. The use of chemicals for the treatment of a hydrocarbon polluted site may contaminate the environment with their by-products, whereas biosurfactant treatment may efficiently destroy pollutants, while being biodegradable themselves.

HazMat Field Testing

Hazardous materials are solids, liquids, or gases that can harm people, other living organisms, property, or the environment.
Field Testing is an experiment, research, or trial conducted under actual use conditions, instead of under controlled conditions in a laboratory.

Demolition of Buildings and Debris Removal

Completely tearing down buildings, razing them to the ground and removing the debris to a landfill or waste treatment facility.

Asbestos and Lead Abatement

Procedures to control fiber release from asbestos-containing materials in a building or to remove them entirely, including removal, encapsulation, repair, enclosure, encasement, and operations and maintenance programs.

In-Situ Heavy Metal Lead Stabilization RCRA Waste Treatment

The term heavy metal refers to a group of toxic metals including arsenic, chromium, copper, lead, mercury, silver, and zinc. Heavy metals often are present at industrial sites at which operations have included battery recycling and metal plating.

The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, is a law that addresses the safe and environmentally responsible management of hazardous waste in the United States. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which oversees RCRA compliance, defines waste as hazardous if it meets certain criteria. To qualify as hazardous or RCRA waste, a substance must first be a solid waste. It must then fit the EPA’s definition of a “listed” or “characteristic” waste. Stabilization – Conversion of the active organic matter in sludge into inert, harmless material.

In-Situ Soil & Groundwater Oxidation of Chlorinated Solvents

In-Situ – In its original place; unmoved unexcavated; remaining at the site or in the subsurface.

Chlorinated Solvent – An organic solvent containing chlorine atoms (e.g., methylene chloride and 1,1,1-trichloromethane). Uses of chlorinated solvents are aerosol spray containers, in highway paint, and dry cleaning fluids.

Technology that oxidizes contaminants dissolved in ground water, converting them into insoluble compounds.
