Compaction to begin on power plant project

July 21, 2015

Contractors on the University of Alaska Fairbanks combined heat and power plant project will begin compacting the soil at the construction site this week.

Vibro-compaction will run from 4 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday for about six weeks. While the work is not expected to produce noticeable shaking, some people in the surrounding area may notice vibrations as a result of the methods used to compact the soil.

People with concerns can contact Facilities Services at 474-7000 or visit the project website at www.uaf.edu/heatandpower
