Ice Roads
Few companies in Alaska have the dedication to succeed in this challenging area of construction. By utilizing innovative construction techniques, we are able to get a head start on ice road projects with a short construction season. We know the importance of a timely start up for our clients. In addition to specialized equipment, we also maintain a fleet of low ground pressure vehicles, which minimizes disturbance to the fragile environment while allowing construction activities to commence. Cruz Construction has the experience and equipment to construct ice roads, ice pads, and ice airstrips onshore or offshore.

Cruz’s experienced team utilizes modern, innovative equipment to support oil and gas operations year round. Our extensive fleet of cranes, super suckers, and fluid trailers continue to support operations in the Cook Inlet Region as well as the North Slope. Whether its pile driving, a refinery turn-around, or just general maintenance, Cruz relies on its experienced personnel to navigate our client’s needs. Cruz Construction’s on-site personnel have over 100 years combined experience in this highly specialized area.
Remote Projects & Snow Trails
Cruz maintains a fleet of low ground pressure vehicles that can access sensitive areas early season. On an annual basis, Cruz builds extensive 100+ mile snow trails for our clients allowing them to haul various types of freight to the most remote places in Alaska. Whether it’s a remote village or mining site, Cruz has the equipment built to navigate the harsh terrain of Alaska.
