Alpine on schedule; all modules moved to pad

Kristen Nelson

Alpine is on schedule for startup this year, ARCO Alaska Inc. spokeswoman Dawn Patience told PNA April 17.

The ice road is still open, although, Patience said, all of the production modules have been moved.

About 40 miles of ice road were build, some 20 miles of that across sea ice. Fifteen production modules with a combined weight of more than 12,000 tons were moved from Kuparuk to Alpine.

Portions of the sea ice road across active river channels were 20 feet thick, Patience said. And because of the huge modules that had to be built, the ice road was the equivalent of a multiple-lane highway.
