Heavy Civil Projects

Cruz performed the rehabilitation and widening of the road, realignments, grade raises, turnout, roadside hardware, and drainage improvements. Cruz developed a new pit for gravel mining, utilizing D10 dozers to push up thawed materials. Over the course of the project, Cruz hauled more than 2,000,000 tons of material, and crushed 400,000 tons of aggregate.

During June-September of 2021, Cruz temporarily diverted Copper Creek on Latouche Island by installing 1,500 feet of HDPE pipe through a historic channel. The project included 10-foot-deep trenching, placing over 3,000 sandbags, and installing an I-beam bridge.

Cruz transported 24,258 tons of aggregate from Platinum, Alaska to the Kuskokwim River, rehabilitated two airport runways, upgraded electrical and lighting systems, and constructed and relocated SREB facilities for the Atmautluak Airport.

During the summer construction seasons of 2021-2023, Cruz built new infrastructure in Mertarvik, including a 9,000’ runway, taxiway, apron, and 5 mile access road, for the relocated community of Newtok.

This CMGC project was awarded to Cruz in December of 2017. Throughout 2018, Cruz partnered with Northern Region AKDOT to help design and complete the construction package through the CMGC process. In April of 2019 Cruz started construction on this 12 mile section of the Tok Cutoff Highway.

With no nearby gravel sources, Cruz pioneered and built and 3 mile access road to a nearby mountain where we opened up a 100 acre material site to provide over 700,000 Tons of aggregate for the project. Other elements of the project included drainage improvements, new lighting system, and apron expansion.

This 40 Mile section of the Dalton Highway was split into two projects. Cruz was awarded both projects, the first being in 2015, and the second in 2017. Cruz opened up four separate pits, mining over 4 million tons of gravel in order complete these projects ahead of schedule and under budget.

This two year construction project entailed constructing a new 33 mile road that connected the villages of Manley Hot Springs and the village of Tanana. Not only did Cruz construct 33 miles of road, but we also installed a Bulb Tee Bridge and multiple structural plate pipes for drainage. This was the first new road in Alaska in over 50 years.

This unique project involved clearing 26 acres, 85,000 cubic yards of excavation, 105,000 cubic yards of Borrow, 2 mile of pioneered road, parking lot, 32 campsites, orientation kiosk, and toilet facilities. The primary objective involved construction and opening of a new campground facility for traveling Alaskans and tourists.

The purpose of this project was to install two submarine cables 3.2 miles between Anchorage and Fire Island as part of the Fire Island Wind project. The cables were to be installed a minimum of ten feet apart and to a minimum depth of 5 feet.
