Serving Alaskan Communities Since 1981
Kuna Engineering was originally incorporated in 1981 in Barrow (Utqiagvik), Alaska, to serve the infrastructure development needs of the Native communities on Alaska’s Arctic Slope. Since that time, we have served tribal communities throughout Alaska and the western United States. We’ve had a couple of name changes (ASCG and WHPacific, Alaska Operations), but we’ve remained true to our calling to work with American Indian and Alaska Native communities to meet their development needs.
