Every successful project has one thing in common: Strong project management. Whether it’s oil & gas, telecom, or infrastructure, the ability to foresee challenges, align stakeholders, and drive execution is what separates projects that thrive from those that stall. What’s the most valuable project management lesson you've learned? #DedicatedSupport #ProjectManagement #MeridianManagement

What’s the biggest challenge in oil & gas project execution? Some might say budget constraints, while others would argue permitting or contractor coordination. The truth? It’s all about balancing all these factors while keeping long-term operational efficiency in mind. Strong project management ensures today’s decisions don’t become tomorrow’s obstacles. #ProjectManagement #OilGasGroups #EnergyProjects #MeridianManagement

Seamless connectivity starts long before the first fiber is laid. From permitting and environmental considerations to coordinating with multiple stakeholders, telecom infrastructure projects require precision at every stage. A proactive project manager ensures nothing falls through the cracks—because in telecommunications, small delays can have big consequences.

A little preparation can go a long way! While there’s no certainty if or when Mount Spurr will erupt, having a plan in place is key for South Central Alaska. Here’s a few items to consider to ensure you’re prepared for any outcome: ✔️ Have masks and eye protection ready for potential ashfall, and cover outdoor equipment with plastic sheeting. ✔️ Stock up on extra water and non-perishable food. ✔️ Protect vehicles from ash buildup by limiting travel, rinsing off regularly, covering air filters with fine mesh such as pantyhose, and avoid using windshield wipers to prevent abrasive damage. ✔️ Keep emergency alerts turned on for the latest updates. ✔️ Make a plan with family and neighbors in case conditions change. Staying safe means being one step ahead! #AlaskaPrepared #EmergencyPlanning #MtSpurr #MeridianManagement

What’s the real return on investment of project management? Some think of it as an added cost, but in reality, it’s an investment in efficiency, risk reduction, and long-term success. A well-managed project doesn’t just hit deadlines—it minimizes rework, optimizes resources, and delivers lasting value. Have you experienced the difference having a project manager can make? #DedicatedSupport #ProjectManagement #Efficiency #MeridianManagement

Did you know? The biggest cost overruns in oil & gas projects often come from small inefficiencies that add up—misaligned schedules, supply chain delays, or regulatory missteps. The right project management approach keeps every moving part in sync, preventing costly setbacks before they happen. What’s one lesson you've learned about avoiding inefficiencies in large-scale projects? #ProjectManagement #OilGasGroups #EnergyProjects #MeridianManagement

Delivering Alaska’s First 5G Network with GCI! How Alaska’s largest and most advanced network got even stronger, and Meridian Management is proud to have played a critical role in making it happen. As the Owner’s Representative Project Manager for GCI’s Anchorage 5G modernization project, Meridian was responsible for ensuring that every aspect of this complex, high-stakes initiative was successfully executed—on time, within budget, and to the highest standards. 🛠️ 76 macro cell sites redesigned and upgraded 🛠️ Full infrastructure overhaul – foundations, power, fiber-optic backhaul, radios, antennas, and towers 🛠️ Vastly improved speeds and customer experience GCI faced a major challenge—its wireless network was outdated and fragmented after years of acquisitions, resulting in capacity constraints and reliability issues. To compete in the evolving telecom market, GCI needed a bold, market wide 5G modernization. The Solution: With Ericsson as the technology partner and Meridian as its project delivery partner, the project required a full-scale rebuild of nearly every cell site in Anchorage. Meridian Management ensured that all elements—from power and cabinets to fiber extensions and backhaul transport—were delivered efficiently in just 18 months (six months ahead of schedule). This was more than just a network upgrade; it was a transformational project that set the stage for future expansion into the rest of Alaska’s communities. Our team’s deep experience in construction oversight, permitting, program management, and quality assurance made us the right partner for the job. We’re honored to continue supporting GCI in bridging the digital divide and delivering next-generation connectivity across the state.
