UIC Commercial Services

Reorganization of two subsidiaries of UIC Commercial Services—a holding line for businesses owned by Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation (UIC), the village corporation for Utqiaġvik—into core components of the Alaska Civil Construction division means new titles for the leadership of Qayaq Construction and HC Contractors.

To lead the division, Kodi Long is promoted to Vice President of Alaska Civil Construction and continues as General Manager of Qayaq. Since 2020, his leadership efforts have resulted in building a highly skilled and dedicated Qayaq team. The company has established a track record for exceptional performance on Alaska infrastructure projects.

New Oil on the North Slope
August 2026
In mid-May it was 19°F and windy at the Aurora Hotel in Deadhorse. As I stood in the parking lot surveying the surroundings, I chatted with a gentleman from Texas who works for Nabors Alaska Drilling and was in town as part of a crew tasked with getting a previously inactive drill rig up and running. He said that, according to his supervisor, spring is the windy season on the North Slope. The gusts were bracing, numbing the fingers holding my camera, but most of my attention was focused on what I could capture through the lens: work trucks, shipping containers, buildings obscured by snow whipped up by the wind.
