The Moolin Endowment
The family of the late Frank Moolin, chief construction engineer on the Trans Alaska Pipeline project, endowed a series of seminars about project management in Alaska. The first seminar, held in 2013, dealt with the management of mega-projects, while the second, in 2015, treated alternative methods for delivering projects other than traditional low-bid contracting. This third seminar will discuss practical methods contractors operating in cold regions can use to address the challenges of environmental responsibility. Sponsors include Associated General Contractors of Alaska, Institute of Traffic Engineers Alaska, Alaska Tribal Technical Assistance Program, American Society of Civil Engineers Alaska Section and Center for Environmentally Sustainable Transportation in Cold Climates.
