R&M used a multibeam echosounder system to develop a bathymetric survey of the Kuskokwim River near Bethel to ensure safe barge and boat access to the City
The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF) selected a pipe pile-based column-supported embankment alternative as the most viable solution to mitigate long-term settlement issues at the west end of Runway (RW) 10-28 at Nome Airport. The first structure of its kind installed beneath an airport runway in Alaska, this innovative design solution provides long-term stabilization for the runway surface.
How did steel piles make their way into an airport runway design? Typically used as a deep foundation for bridges, docks and other facilities, steel pipe piles were selected to form a column-supported embankment underlying portions of the main runway serving Nome. The first structure of its kind installed beneath an airport runway in Alaska, this innovative design solution provides long-term stabilization for the runway surface.
R&M provided geotechnical services to assess the landslide area and develop mitigation measures for future landslides to ensure the Haines community is aware of and prepared for future landslides, minimizing property damage and risk to residents.
These improvements ensure this regional hub can accommodate growing aviation demand while serving countless Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta Communities that depend on reliable air transportation.
R&M is working with the Municipality of Anchorage Parks and Recreation Department on this master planning effort, which ensures a well-loved historical community park is updated and maintained for the community to enjoy for many years to come.
To R&M, community means Alaska. It means investing in this state to create a happy and healthy place to live, work and play for our clients, partners, neighbors, employees, friends and families.
Land surveying has long been considered both an art and a science. It is an art involving elements of history, law, evidence and their interpretation; and a science due to the mathematical and scientific methods employed. This is especially true in Alaska.
Designed with the community in mind, the UAA Alaska Airlines Center is a first-class sports and entertainment center that will serve UAA students and the Anchorage community for years to come.
The updated facilities, as well as the new infrastructure, will serve the Bethel community and Western Alaskan Region for years to come, accommodating the many cargo and passenger needs of this area.
This project involved 1.5 miles of new roadway that extended this main transportation corridor through an undeveloped area of Anchorage, linking the roadway between O’Malley Road and Dimond Boulevard.
How does a city create a safer, more walkable, healthier community? Complete streets. Complete streets are streets designed and operated to enable safe access for all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists and public transportation users of all ages and abilities.
