Congratulations UAA College of Engineering!

The results are in, and the UAA College of Engineering Steel Bridge Team is officially bringing home 3rd Place Overall! After months of grinding, welding, and over-analyzing every single bolt, seeing it all come together on the competition floor was an incredible feeling. This trophy is a testament to the long hours our team put into the lab and the "Seawolf" grit that kept us going.

Thank you to our Sponsors! UAF College of Engineering and Mines, The Associated General Contractors of Alaska, Turnagain Marine Construction, PND Engineers, INC, RESPEC, Reid Middleton, Inc., and Arctic Foundations, Inc.

As Turnagain begins our operations in The Bahamas, we remain committed to giving back to the local community. This year marks our first experience with the exhilarating rush of Junkanoo, the nation’s beloved celebratory parade, and we are honored to be part of the festivities. We’re especially proud to sponsor the talented Yellow Elder Primary Junior Junkanoo participants as they took to Bay Street yesterday! We loved seeing their vibrant costumes, hearing the rhythmic beat of their drums, and celebrating this incredible Bahamian tradition.

Last week marked the official start of the pier at NCL’s private island at Great Stirrup Cay. Alongside NCL, Turnagain participated in the Groundbreaking Ceremony, with Bahamas Prime Minister Phillip Davis signing the first production of piling.

With the first pile set, it’s the beginning of the first dock on the island and the opening of a new era in development in the Caribbean for Turnagain.

Turnagain is proud to announce our partnership with the Port of Tomorrow, Alaska Railroad, and Royal Caribbean International to replace the outdated pier and completely modernize the cruise infrastructure in Seward, Alaska. This new development ushers in an exciting era of cruise passenger hospitality excellence and economic growth for Seward.

Designed as a floating double berth that is 100 feet wide and 748 feet long, the modernization of the dock includes a portable shore-power system.

The grand opening is Spring 2026. For more information on this development, check out https://sewardcompany.com/.

Meet Aaron Murph, one of our END² Designers at Turnagain. Aaron is the first engineer to earn his PE while working at Turnagain!

Aaron grew up in Petersburg, Alaska, where he found a passion for the outdoors and the marine industry. The interests he discovered in high school led him to pursue a career as an engineer. Aaron received his bachelor's and master’s in civil engineering at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He has been on the Turnagain Team for almost five years now. “I genuinely have fun designing these structures,” he says.

Outside of work, Aaron loves being outdoors, hiking, camping, and fishing. “I like boating a lot, I have a little jet boat that I built that I take on rivers,” he says.

We're incredibly proud to have Aaron Murph as part of our team. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories from our exceptional staff!

We are wrapping up our production on the small boat harbor in Cordova. We replaced 100,000 square feet of float and installed 452 new boat slips. Can’t wait to see it fully in use soon.
