Contractors on the University of Alaska Fairbanks combined heat and power plant project will begin compacting the soil at the construction site this week.

Vibro-compaction will run from 4 a.m. to midnight Monday through Saturday for about six weeks. While the work is not expected to produce noticeable shaking, some people in the surrounding area may notice vibrations as a result of the methods used to compact the soil.

People with concerns can contact Facilities Services at 474-7000 or visit the project website at www.uaf.edu/heatandpower
