UAA AV-Tech Building Earthquake Repairs

Location: Anchorage, AK

CRW provided geotechnical support throughout the investigation and design of building and apron repairs due to the November 2018 Alaska magnitude 7.1 earthquake. CRW’s efforts started with desktop research of existing geotechnical conditions followed by a geotechnical investigation to assess the apron and building’s stem wall sink hole conditions. The design consisted of a new apron section and mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) retaining wall for the stem wall. CRW provided on-site inspection during construction of the earthwork, retaining wall installation, and paving operation.
