Innovation emerges from earthquake aftermath
Members of the 773d Civil Engineer Squadron utilities shop assemble a 300-foot section of insulated pipe at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Dec. 1, 2018. Following the Nov. 30, 2018, earthquake, the Alaska Mission Operations Center suffered a water main break. Due to the long-term cold weather, a temporary solution was decided upon. The innovative thoughts and immediate actions of a handful of Airmen ensured the Alaska Mission Operations Center had water within two days, and saved the U.S. Air Force almost $20,000.
