The project involves developing, demonstrating, and constructing a new engineered water control system to protect Mendenhall Valley, Juneau, Alaska from glacial lake outburst floods originating in Suicide Basin. The system must keep Suicide Basin water levels below 1,100 feet NAVD88 and manage peak discharge rates of about 1,000 cubic feet per second to protect downstream communities. GLOF events have occurred annually since 2011, with escalating peak discharges from 2023 through 2025 causing severe inundation and damage in Juneau. An Industry Day will be held in Juneau, Alaska on Friday, August 21, 2026, from 9:00–11:00 AM AKDT, with a virtual option available and registration required. Work performance is centered in the Juneau, Alaska area, specifically around Suicide Basin and the Mendenhall Valley.

The project is to develop and demonstrate a proof of concept for, and design and construct, a new EWCP that protects Mendenhall Valley, Juneau, Alaska from glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) originating in Suicide Basin. The EWCP must prevent Suicide Basin water levels from exceeding 1,100 feet NAVD88 while safely managing peak discharge rates of about 1,000 cubic feet per second. The area has experienced annual GLOF events since 2011, with escalating peak discharges from 2023 through 2025 causing severe inundation and damage. An Industry Day will be held in Juneau, Alaska on August 21, 2026, with a virtual option available and registration required. Performance of services would be in the Mendenhall Valley/Juneau area.

The project involves developing a proof of concept and constructing a new glacier lake outburst flood (GLOF) protection system (EWCP) for the Mendenhall Valley in Juneau, Alaska, to prevent water levels in Suicide Basin from exceeding 1,100 feet NAVD88 and safely manage peak discharges of about 1,000 cubic feet per second. The area faces severe, escalating flood hazards from GLOF events originating in Suicide Basin, which have caused significant damage in recent years. An Industry Day is planned in Juneau, Alaska on Friday, August 21, 2026. Performance of services would be in the Juneau, Alaska area. No budget amounts are specified in the description.
