Overview

Thompson Metal Fab contributed critical steel components to the $200 million reconstruction of the Petroleum and Cement Terminal at the Port of Alaska. The original structure, built in 1965, had been severely damaged during a 2018 earthquake. TMF’s scope included large fender panels, outrigger beams, standoff brackets, support hangers, and other structural elements—totaling approximately 730 tons of steel. The fenders alone measured 14 feet wide by 35 feet long and weighed up to 70,000 pounds each. Components were shipped via truck from TMF’s Vancouver, Washington facility to Pacific Pile & Marine’s Seattle yard, then transferred by barge to Anchorage. The project showcases TMF’s experience in heavy marine infrastructure and its capacity to meet exacting logistical and fabrication demands.
