Demolition of the Barter Island Long Range Radar Station for the US Air Force. The LRRS is a cold war era site the Air Force closed and scheduled for demolition and restoration during the 2018 work season. Our work involved demolition and disposal of the hangar structure and contaminated material, a site environmental restoration program and remedial action. Seasonal work ended in mid-September 2018. I am very proud of the fact that we had no injuries on this high risk job, not even a minor first aid! We had a great crew and supervision that was committed to worker safety. Their daily housekeeping was exceptional and this carried over into the safety culture. Comment: I have never been around so many polar bears! The bears presented a level of wildlife hazard that can't be found anywhere else on the North Slope. Our bear management program resulted in no injuries to man or bears. : ) Kaktovik is a very nice village and I enjoyed my time here with UIC Science.
