PROJECTS

Plant #2 Repowering Project

CLIENT Municipal Light & Power, Anchorage

Location Anchorage, AK

The design and construction of this new substation and power turbine plant required excavating and flattening a 50-foot tall hill for a new power house, associated substation, and other facilities.

The project was divided into two phases: Phase 1 work included site excavation to the finish grade of the facility. Phase 2 included design and construction of the new facilities.

Shannon & Wilson provided geotechnical explorations and engineering analysis in two phases to accommodate the project progression. We developed two geotechnical reports for the project: the first to support earthwork activities (including excavation recommendations and slope conditions); the second to provide geotechnical recommendations for the building structures, asphalt pavement, and utilities.  We also conducted geotechnical consulting services during construction of the facility.
