WELCOME !




Channel Construction, Inc. is a privately owned family business which has been in operaton for over 30 years. Nine of the family stockholders are shareholders in Sealaska Corporation and Goldbelt Corporation, two local Alaska Native corporations.

Channel Construction is a state certified DBE and 8A company and provides general contracting services to Juneau and Southeast Alaska. The company is not restricted, however, to the Southeast Panhandle; Channel Construction has the ability to mobilize for statewide jobs and has ventured as far as the Aleutians when presenting bids. See our partial listing of companies for whom we have performed services.

All equipment is company owned, and our shop crew is equipped to handle most repairs. Our construction crews are licensed and bonded, certified for a multitude of job requirements and receive yearly training updates.

Since 1977, Channel Construction has recyled ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminum. For years, Channel has made twice yearly trips to Seattle, and hauled a total of 15,000 tons of scrap metal. In 1993, Channel Construction eclipsed its previous totals with five trips to designated Southeast Alaska communities, where 13,000 tons of scrap metal was collected for Lower 48 delivery. Additionally, Channel Construction has collaborated with Channel Landfill to tackle selected recycling projects in the past 25 years, with Channel principals traveling throughout the United States and Europe to participate in on site study of recyling systems in various cities. Batteries, concrete, asphalt and porcelain have been recycled in addition to scrap metal.
