In the late ‘40s, residents were forced to move from their original homes and historic Kaktovik village site to allow for construction of a US Air Force runway and hangar. The Barter Island Runway Geocell Removal project allowed ChemTrack/Cornerstone Joint Venture (CTCSJV) an opportunity to remove 1,464 linear feet of steel drums and 11,121 square yards of geocell material from this former US Air Force runway. The removal of these remaining site materials will ultimately allow the land to transfer back to Kaktovik Inupiat Corporation. CTCSJV delivered the project on-time and within budget.

In the face of Typhoon Merbok’s devastating aftermath, Knik’s Nome Emergency Storm Repairs team performed nothing short of a miracle. Scheduled to leave Nome, the crew instantly pivoted, assessing the catastrophic 30-mile road damage and a 1,000 linear foot sea-to-lagoon breach. Mobilizing within days, the team collaborated with contractors and the community to defy looming winter odds over the Bering Sea. Utilizing drone technology and innovative construction techniques, the team hauled 67,000 tons of material up to 20 miles to repair roads, the breach, and heavily hit downtown Nome.
