Massive reconstruction project under way at pipeline terminal

by The Associated Press

More than 1,000 workers are laboring at the Valdez Marine Terminal this summer, on the first of three years of a $380 million overhaul. Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. officials said next summer may see an even more intense work schedule.

“This is the busiest construction season we’ve had since the terminal construction itself,” said Alyeska spokesman Tim Woolston.

There are four areas of major construction. The floor grid system will be cleaned and refitted within the holding tanks at the tank farm overlooking the Valdez Arm. The fire water pipe line will be relined. Berth 5 will be rebuilt and rewired. And a new office facility will be built.
