LAKE CLARK AIR
Lake Clark serves as the gateway to remote Lake Clark National Park. The Lake Clark Air Terminal in Anchorage was intended to provide passengers with an early introduction to their destination at Lake Clark. Complexity and creativity abound in the many ways this outcome is translated architecturally.
Designed by Z Architects, Lake Clark Air uses 12,588 SF of Nudura ICF, and includes an 80’x82’ hangar with attached 80’42’ terminal. In spite of the massive 64’ custom hangar door, thermal retention is easily recovered with the ICF structure. Architectural strut-like “trees” in the entry area evoke a natural canopy. Timber features were all hand-hewn on-site, contributing to the building’s mountain modern aesthetic.
MAC FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
WASILLA & PALMER BRANCHES
A 2023 ICF BUILDER AWARDS FINALIST!
Originally based out of Fairbanks, MAC FCU sought to balance form & function with the use of ICF in its new locations in Wasilla (completed in 2021) and Palmer (completed in 2022). ICF was crucial to both projects’ success, not just as a building medium, but also as a means to resolve many of the sites’ topographical challenges. Both have already demonstrated the significant value of ICF - name, structural & wind resistance - by surpassing expectations in the face of 100+ mph hurricane-force wind gusts during a 2021 winter storm that proved catastrophic to many other buildings in the area. Their modern rustic beauty, sustainability, attention to detail and purpose-driven features make them each stunning examples of ICF for Alaska.
MAC FCU Wasilla has earned a place as a top-three finalist competing for the 2023 ICF Builder Awards. Article & announcement forthcoming in early 2023.
CHUGACH POWDER GUIDES ICF HANGAR
In a “Mountain Modern Architectural Style,” the CPG hangar combines maintenance-free materials like steel siding with warmer materials, such as wood, to create an alpine ski facility aesthetic in what can otherwise be an industrial building type. ICFs allowed for high-end finishes throughout.
Designed for a 150 PSF roof load & 130 MPH wind load, its structural integrity and resilience scoff in the face of heavy snow while resisting seismic forces. In fact, the building sustained no damage as a result of a major 7.2 magnitude earthquake which shook the region during construction.
LARGE-SCALE CONCRETE PROJECTS
CONOCO-PHILIPS
(KUPARUK EAST CHANNEL SPILLWAY)
Replaced damaged spillway and roadway at the Kuparuk River East Chanel Crossing, which provides year-round road access to the Kuparuk and other western oilfields from the infrastructure at Prudhoe Bay. Project involved 1,700 cubic yards of concrete, including 76,500 lbs of Helix Micro-Rebar reinforcement using Ligchine Laser Screed / Spinscreed Roller Screed.
TECH ALASKA, INC.
(RED DOG MINE)
Various cast-in-place concrete projects throughout the mine site to support new infrastructure, including: ISA-Mill Foundation/Walls, Electric House Foundations, New Shop Foundation/Slab, and Fuel Island Drive-Through Containment Improvements.
LAKE HOOD HANGARS
Lake Hood Seaplane Base (LHD) is the world's busiest seaplane base, accommodating hangar space for corporate, private, commercial and business applications. With ICF, their hangar provides reliable, energy-saving benefits to minimize energy costs, reduce carbon emissions, and maximize property value. It is designed to offer superior strength & thermal regulation, coupled with unparalleled seismic, sound, and fire resistance to protect their clients' assets.
ICF COMMERCIAL HANGARS
Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) were born for hangars & large spaces. With impressive thermal mass, coupled with features like radiant concrete floors, even large hangars can regulate temperature effortlessly & efficiently.
