demolish the Monongahela River Lock and Dam No. 3 (LD3) in Elizabeth, Pa. The project is the latest in an ongoing series of efforts by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) to improve the
Monongahela River navigation system. The USACE has been working on the three oldest currently operating facilities on the Monongahela River since 1992. They were first constructed to help coal barges and
other traffic navigate the river. The USACE has collaborated with various contractors, including Fay, to perform upgrades to the Braddock and Charleroi (soon to be renamed John P. Murtha) locks and dams. see LOCK page 66
Safe Workers Equals Happy Insurers Consistent Jobsite Safety Returns Lower Premiums, Satisfied Employees, More By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
Many construction contractors are overlooking a partner in their quest for jobsite safety: their insurers. Taking advantage of safety analysis programs provided by insurance carriers can result in immediate premium discounts for fleet liability plans. However, insurers are not pushing their clients often enough to make simple changes to mitigate the safety risks on the job. Contractors know company safety directly impacts insurance rates. Insurers assess the risk of covering contractors based on their safety practices. see SAFETY page 76
