Today as we celebrate National Alaska Day, we are proud to serve the people and industries of Alaska from our offices in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Palmer. The 49th state, home of “the last frontier”, is rich with natural beauty and resources and diverse cultures and people. All photos in today's post were taken by our talented Anchorage, Alaska staff. #NationalAlaskaDay #LastFrontier #ShannonWilsonAnchorage #ShannonWilsonFairbanks #AlaskaDay

Next up in the United States Permafrost Association's Technical Training Webinar Series: Shannon & Wilson's Oliver Hoopes will focus on the design and performance of the Lost Creek Thermal Improvements Project. Additional background and registration information can be found here: https://lnkd.in/gTFub8yf The Lost Creek Thermal Improvements project addressed slope movement and landslide risk at a site along the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System. The pipeline at Lost Creek traverses a north facing slope with discontinuous, warm permafrost underlain by a frozen peat bog. This peat layer contains a shear zone that moves as the permafrost degrades, causing the pipeline’s vertical support members to tilt, which required expensive maintenance. The seminar will describe how Shannon & Wilson designed and installed a system of vertical passive thermosyphons (FSHPs) and woodchip surface insulation to cool the permafrost and mitigate these risks. The seminar will highlight the project's use of 3D finite element thermal modeling to optimize the design of the FSHPs and insulation layout. Oliver will also present the performance of the system to date and how that compares to the model predictions. #ShannonWilsonSeattle #Permafrost #ArcticEngineering

Congratulations to Parsons Transportation Group, which was selected to lead engineering and design for the Interstate 55 Bridge Replacement, a critical infrastructure project linking Arkansas and Tennessee. The project aims to improve safety and traffic efficiency for the 64,000 vehicles projected to use the bridge daily by 2050. The original bridge was constructed in 1949. Shannon & Wilson will serve as the project's geotechnical lead, responsible for seismic analysis. Since the bridge lies within the New Madrid Seismic Zone and the Mississippi Embayment, which is a deep structural feature with unconsolidated sediments up to about 3,000 feet in depth, seismic analysis will be critical for design of the bridge's foundations.

Today on World Architecture Day, we express our gratitude for the opportunity to work with our many talented, creative architecture design team partners. The built-environment projects we have been honored to contribute to span the U.S. and include every type of structure and industry. Our geotechnical and environmental services typically occur at the very beginning of the project, so we don’t often capture photos of the final buildings, but today we feature a few of our Alaska built projects. #ArchitectureIndustry #ArchitecturalPartners #worldarchitecture #worldarchitectureday #geotechnicalengineering #environmentalengineering #shannonwilson #shannonwilsonanchorage #shannonwilsonfairbanks
