Wales Razorback Water Transmission Main and Feasibility Study
|
2004 - present
|
|
|
 Summit Consulting analyzed the design and construction for water and sewer improvements in Wales. The feasibility study examined options for construction of a potable water transmission main from the new wells at the base of Razorback Ridge to the existing water treatment plant.

Construction for the Razorback Water Transmission Line began during 2008. A well house, power line extension, and transmission line with heat trace and protection was constructed. During the 2009 construction season Summit will return to Wales to finalize the operation of the transmission main, complete the O&M manual, train local operators on the filling of their water storage tank and to demobilize the project.

Wiseman
|
2004
|
|
|
Located on the southern slope of the Brooks Range in northern Alaska, Wiseman was home to early 20th century prospectors during Alaska's gold rush. One of the few remaining historic structures in Wiseman is a log building that originally served as the miners' community hall. The structure was built directly on the ground and over the past century, the lower log courses have decayed. After inspecting the building, Summit developed a plan to raise the entire structure and construct a new foundation below it. The construction was complicated by Wiseman's remote location: above the Arctic Circle and over 250 miles from the nearest hardware store. Summit procured and mobilized new materials, the rotted logs were replaced, and the building was lowered onto a treated timber pony wall foundation.
