The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), has a requirement to replace the Anchorage Airport [I(1] Traffic Control Tower (ANC ATCT) and Anchorage Terminal Radar Approach Control/Base Building (A11 TRACON). The project site is located at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport in Anchorage, Alaska, on the corner of DeHavilland Avenue and Postmark Drive.

The project consists of an approximately 318-foot AGL (Top of Tower) cast-in-place, post-tensioned concrete ATCT with an approximately 40,000 SF two-story, steel framed base building and TRACON. The total gross area between the two structures is approximately 70,000 SF. Work will include site work, construction of the ATCT and TRACON/base building, parking lot, perimeter fence, and a new Fiber Optic Transmission System (FOTS) crossing multiple taxiways on the Air Operations Area. The ATCT shaft and base building will be clad with a non-combustible, aluminum plate pressure-equalized rainscreen system. The seismic design of the ATCT utilizes a performance-based design methodology to ensure adequate performance of the structure. See the attached drawings for additional information.
