Water Resources & Rural Development

Kuna’s water resources and rural development team combines the skills and experience of our mechanical and electrical engineers, designers, planners, and project managers to design and deliver modern infrastructure to remote locations as well as improvements to existing urban systems. From conceptual design to construction management and project close-out, our team is well-versed in how to effectively tackle the planning, scheduling, budgeting, logistics, and project completion challenges facing Alaska projects. We are also able to meet the industry’s rapidly expanding demands for sustainable design and total building commissioning.

Working in partnership with our clients, Kuna implements thoughtful and thought-provoking design solutions that extend a facility’s life-cycle, minimize its energy use, and reduce its impact on the environment. Our diverse portfolio underscores an ability to tailor design and construction to each unique project setting, resulting in facilities that can withstand the rigors of time, heavy use, harsh climates, and extreme environments.
