Petroleum Refinery Storm Water Treatment System Design, Engineering, and ConstructionTPECI operated as the prime contractor designing, permitting, and overseeing project construction for a comprehensive storm water treatment system at a major petroleum refinery in Alaska. TPECI worked with the client to determine project scale and treatment objectives. Then coordinated with the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation to determine treatment requirements and permit for the proposed system. The project included oversight of mechanical and construction subcontractors to meet client goals. At completion of the project, client received a regulatory-compliant, turn-key storm water treatment system. |

Dutch Harbor Contaminated Site Field Screening and Onsite Environmental ManagementTPECI acted as onsite environmental management for a large-scale project plagued with historical petroleum and hazardous waste contamination. TPECI staff worked to direct excavation, managed excavated materials, and supervised all onsite workers to prevent the spread of contamination. Remote Work Camp Drinking Water Treatment System Design & PermittingTPECI designed and permitted a large man camp public drinking water treatment system for a gold mine in interior Alaska through the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation drinking water engineering plan review process. This project required an assessment of the existing treatment system, engineering design to meet treatment criteria, and system as-built inspections of the completed treatment works. The finished system was permitted and provided safe drinking water for the employees of the facility. |
Oil & Gas Permitting
TPECI was responsible for collecting background field data in preparation for full-scale permitting of an oil and gas exploration project in southcentral Alaska. TPECI collected data related to historical contamination on the property and identified potential, existing industrial impacts. TPECI also collected wetland data and marked wetland boundaries to allow for road and drill pad design and placement. TPECI partnered with a subcontractor to collect fish distribution and population data to supplement regionally available information. Finally, designed fish passage compliant culverts and bridges, and worked to prepare a comprehensive permitting package.
Eagle River Residential Development Wetland Permitting
TPECI conducted a detailed wetland delineation, marked wetland boundaries, coordinated with project survey crews, and completed the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers wetland permit application for a proposed residential development project in Eagle River, Alaska.
