PILE FOUNDATION
INSTALLATION
What lies beneath Alaska’s beautiful landscape
isn’t always so pretty. Permafrost, sand, and silt
are inescapable in Alaska and building in these
conditions requires extensive foundation work
to ensure a strong start for a stable structure.
Not surprisingly, nearly every structure in rural
Alaska is built on pilings.
