Frank P. Moolin Jr. Seminar:
Alternative Project Delivery Systems for Governments
18 November 2015, Fairbanks, Alaska
Frank Moolin
Frank
P. Moolin, Jr., served as Senior Project Manager for the pipeline portion of
the Trans-Alaska Oil Pipeline project from 1973 to 1977, successfully managing
the construction of the 800 mile long pipeline from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. It was a project of historic proportions and
at the time was the largest privately funded construction project in history,
with a workforce as high as 22,000, major logistical challenges, and
environmental conditions more severe than most other locations in the
world. The project was completed on
schedule, with oil flowing thorough the line for the first time on June 20,
1977. After his task on the pipeline was
complete, Frank formed Frank Moolin & Associates, Inc., and continued to
provide his management expertise to several other major projects.
Frank Moolin had a dream to become a
teacher so as to share his insights into management, and especially the
management of very large “mega” projects, with the next generation of engineers
and project managers. Unfortunately,
that dream was not to be fulfilled, as he died of leukemia in 1982. Following his death, Mr. Moolin’s
family generously contributed funds in his memory to support engineering
management education at the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
With partial funding from the Moolin endowment, the UAF Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering sponsored seminars about mega-project management in Fairbanks, Anchorage, and Juneau in May 2013. This year’s seminar is jointly sponsored by the Fairbanks Branch of the ASCE with support of the AGC of Alaska.
