Mat-Su Regional Medical Center - civil construction project that went 52' deep to build a solid structural base for a new hospital building. The dig incised 26' into an active aquifer where the dewatering effort went on 24/7 for 60 days. This dewatering challenge was magnified because it was above a sensitive waterfowl nesting area.

Equipment
GMC owns the correct equipment for any project we perform. Four of our excavators have the reach and capacity for deep trenches. Our compaction equipment ranges from a vibration plate mounted on an excavator, to self-propelled rollers to trench plates and small compactors. With the added support of our water pumps, off-road trucks, loaders and dozers, we are prepared to tackle a job of any size and nature with our own equipment.
GMC's equipment fleet is maintained by a full-time mechanic who is supported by a fully functional warehouse and shop. Each year during our down time, all equipment is brought into our central shop for a thorough inspection and major maintenance to eliminate downtime while on the job. From Hitachi ZX 600 excavators to CAT D8 bulldozers, to small skid steer loaders, we have the equipment required to efficiently complete most any civil project.
The majority of our equipment is newer than five years old, and expertly maintained on a regular basis. Our employees respect the equipment and all are trained to report problems, leaks, or other malfunctions as soon as possible.
Safety and Regulations
GMC has a long track record of safe excavations. We own trench boxes, sheet piles and tie back anchor systems in our yard that we can dispatch as a job requires. As a responsible underground utility contractor, GMC Contracting, Inc. holds regular safety meetings and trains employees in issues such as safety response and environmental pollution prevention. GMC secures the proper permitting through the Municipality of Anchorage and the Alaska Department of Transportation or other governing agencies by filing traffic control plans, obtaining right-of-way permits and scheduling inspections to ensure regulations are followed.
In accordance with the Alaska Dept. of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), GMC files the required Notice of Intent prior to any work that will disturb land in accordance with the regulations. Each project has its own Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan with the required monitoring activities and reports that follow established procedures. Upon project completion, GMC follows up with the Notice of Termination after the project is secure. All job sites are equipped with spill response kits, and employees are trained in the use of those kits to minimize potential damage to the environment.
Company Profile
GMC Contracting, Inc. is a civil construction company that was founded in 1979. Our experience with underground utilities and road construction across Alaska is long and varied. We have built underground pipeline through swamps, across streams and rivers, and in extremely deep trenches.
We bring a team approach to our projects, working with the owner to provide assurance that they have selected a contractor that will deliver the desired outcome. This eliminates the normal conflicts that arise in projects and assures the Owner that as a team, we have one common goal. We focus on identifying early on issues or obstacles that might surface to delay or interfere with the effective execution of our projects rather than having to react in the field. We are an organized and qualified group ensuring a successful project result that is completed on time and within budget.
We perform work as both a subcontractor and also as a general contractor. Typically, if the majority of a project is composed of earthwork and utility installation, we play the role of the prime contractor. When the utility and site work is a smaller portion of the work, we will subcontract to reputable general contractors. Our reputation with clients is one built on trust, and we are careful who we team or subcontract with to ensure that they have similar core values and level of client commitment. Throughout our company's history we have done many underground pipeline projects on Anchorage's two military bases where the company developed a very strong working relationship with the Army Corps of Engineers. We are proud to have been awarded the distinction of Outstanding Contractor several times.
GMC Contracting, Inc. enjoys a high level of respect within the construction community as well. The company is managed by owner Greg Clayton. Daily company oversight is the responsibility of Vice President, Todd Bethard. Todd is a registered civil engineer. Greg keeps close involvement in all company bidding, assets, and acquisition. Our success is a testament to his thorough knowledge and years of experience in the Alaska construction industry.
