Difficulties Included• No roads, Helicopter access only• Rugged terrain, 4 long span crossings, spans over 3,490’ to 6,890’ in length• Weather: rain, snow, wind, fog
• High winds can cause shutdowns and fog which moves in and out quickly stops your helicopter supply line in its tracks.
• Helicopter shutdowns can leave field personnel stranded.• Short construction season
• Snow made it difficult to start before June• Storms and shorter day light hours markedly reduced productivity after mid-September
• Logistics: truck, barge, helicopter• Tubular steel was fabricated in PA, shipped by truck to Seattle, barged to Ketchikan.
Then assembled/barged and lifted into place by helicopter.

I believe the success of the project was because everyone had a common vision and worked towards a common goal. This starts with the Owner and it was our job as Project Manager to keep the Owners vision alive through out the project. This was done through good open and honest communication.
