Design and construction of water storage tanks on warm permafrost in rural Alaska

Schubert, D.H. / Reitz, D.D.

Foundation problems continue to be the most difficult engineering challenge. In this article, two recent examples of design and construction of large bolted steel tanks in the communities of Kipnuk and Kaltag are described. The design, construction, and operational parameters of large volume storage facilities in Alaska are detailed. The unique engineering and construction management challenges associated with construction of these facilities in areas of warm, thaw-unstable permafrost soil conditions in rural Alaska are emphasized.
