Water system improvements constructed for the new Petroleum Cement Terminal included a new fire hydrant, underground PVC recirculating water mains with backflow prevention and usage metering in insulated, heated housings. A covered shed area was constructed to provide snow load protection for the insulated valve housing and Fire Department Connection to the dry standpipe. Additional piping was extended along the trestle for the dry piping to provide fire suppression supply at hydrants and insulated piping for potable water connections at the platform.
Designed to replace POL Terminal 1, which suffered significant structural damage during the November 2018 earthquake, the PCT must be completed before POL 1 fails or is demolished to ensure the Port maintains capacity to economically meet Alaska’s fuel and cement needs.
