Drilling, Blasting Prepare Ground for Road Project
By Cindy Riley
In a critical phase in the widening of a major thoroughfare, drilling and blasting continues as part of an $18 million, 3.4-mi. project in Huntsville, Ala. Upon completion, Cecil Ashburn Drive will expand from two to four lanes between Old Big Cove Road and Four Mile Post Road. “This is one of three major routes between east Huntsville

and our city center,” said Kathy Martin, director of engineering of the city of Huntsville. “It currently carries approximately 17,000 vehicles per day. Road closure concerns included the use of designated alternate routes and the congestion that would result on these alternate routes.” The project was designed to ease congestion and incorporate safety improvements and includes 8-ft. shoulders along each side of the roadway.

The Alabama Department of Transportation is helping to fund an $18 million project to widen Cecil Ashburn Drive in Huntsville
According to the city’s website, Cecil Ashburn was originally designed as a four-lane road, but because of cost, only two lanes were built in the late 1990s. Future projected traffic modeling shows an increase in traffic counts to almost 30,000 vehicles per day by the year 2040. Because the roadway is at capacity and the funding is in place to share the cost with the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT), Martin said now is the right time to perform the work, adding that feedback from the community has been important. “We have a very active community on the east side of Huntsville, Hampton Cove and Big Cove, as well as many commuters from Marshall County and Jackson County who travel to Huntsville and Redstone Arsenal daily for employment,” she said. “It was critical to keep our community aware of the project need, and schedule to properly plan for this change. “Our planning and communication departments took a proactive effort in publicizing the three preferred alternate routes for those traveling in the area by utilizing public outreach and social media to distribute information. It was important that we informed motorist and employers in the area to allow work and school schedules to be adjusted and discourage motorists from using local neighborhood roads during this time. “The engineering department also performed intersection improvement projects on the alternate routes, to encourage the use of these routes during this time,” Martin added. “The traffic engineering department made significant changes to signal timings on these alternate routes to help relieve congestion.” As for reaction from the traveling public, motorists seem see BLASTING page 4
Shelby Predicts FBI Investment in State Could Reach $1B Alabama’s senior senator said the FBI’s investment in the northern part of the state could reach $1 billion. News outlets reported that Sen. Richard Shelby met with business and community leaders in Huntsville Feb. 11 and said more construction by the FBI is expected at the Redstone Arsenal in coming years. Shelby said "Huntsville is on fire" from an economic point of view. “You’ve got the manpower here. You’ve got the brain trust, and you’ve got the secu-
rity of the [Redstone] Arsenal,” Shelby told WZDX News in Huntsville. "I think it will be one of the biggest presences of the FBI outside of Washington.” The FBI said in November that it plans to transfer 1,350 jobs to the Redstone Arsenal. The FBI has the Terrorist Explosive Devices Analytical Center and the Hazardous Devises School at Huntsville. Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville already includes a U.S. Army base, as well as NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
The agency announced in November it was expanding its presence at the Arsenal with the construction of a large-scale operations support building, which is scheduled for completion in 2021. Ultimately, the FBI expects to eventually have as many as 5,000 employees working at its Arsenal facilities, according to online reports. Shelby said he thinks Huntsville eventually will be second only to Washington for the FBI. The agency’s investment would join other
major construction projects in Huntsville, including a $1.6 billion Mazda Toyota Manufacturing USA development, which promises to create about 4,000 jobs; a $750 million Facebook facility; and a $200 million rocket engine manufacturing plant under development by Blue Origin, the private spaceflight company founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. In addition, Google is building a $600 million data center is under construction in nearby Bridgeport.

Blue Origin’s B-4 rocket engine will be manufactured in Huntsville
Blue Origin Launches Huntsville Rocket Engine Plant Space flight company Blue Origin kicked off construction Jan. 25 on a $200 million plant in Huntsville that will produce the BE4 rocket engine for future national security and other missions. The 200,000-sq.-ft. facility will be built on 46 acres at the corner of Explorer Boulevard and Pegasus Drive in Cummings Research Park. The project will create more than 300 jobs in Huntsville. Executives from Blue Origin and rocket maker United Launch Alliance joined Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey and community leaders for a groundbreaking ceremony at the plant. “It’s a great day here in Rocket City,” said Bob Smith, CEO of Blue Origin. “Thanks to the votes of confidence from United Launch Alliance, from the Air Force for national security missions, and from Huntsville and the state of Alabama, we are breaking ground on a facility to produce our worldclass engines and power the next generation of spaceflight.” Powering ULA’s Next Rocket Using the latest design and manufacturing techniques, the BE-4 is made for both commercial and government missions. The BE-4 uses oxygen-rich staged combustion of liquid oxygen and liquefied natural gas to produce 550,000 lbs. of thrust. The BE-4 is currently undergoing full-scale engine development testing in company facilities in Van Horn, Texas. At the kickoff event, Smith said Blue Origin also plans to produce a variant of its BE-3 rocket engine at the Huntsville facili-
ty. He added that the company is in discussions with NASA to test the engines on the historic test stands at Marshall Space Flight Center. ULA selected the BE-4 to power its nextgeneration rocket, the Vulcan Centaur, the successor to the Atlas V and Saturn IV launch vehicles now assembled in Alabama. ULA’s production facility is located in Decatur, just miles away from the site selected by Blue Origin. “I am pleased that Blue Origin has chosen to join the more than 200 ULA suppliers doing business here in Alabama,” ULA
CEO Tory Bruno said. “The state of Alabama knows how to attract and help business grow and I could not be more thrilled to be part of the resurgence of rocket and engine development in the Tennessee Valley.” The production of the BE-4 engine is seen as critical to ending U.S. dependence on Russia for access to space for critical national security space systems. The BE-4 also will power Blue Origin’s reusable New Glenn launch system, which has been selected by the U.S. Air Force for future national security missions.
Tory Bruno, CEO of the United Launch Alliance, speaks at the Blue Origin rocket engine plant groundbreaking in Huntsville Jan. 25.
‘Perfect Home’ Kent, Wash.-based Blue Origin, founded by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, announced plans for the production facility in Huntsville in June 2017. At the time, Blue Origin said it chose Huntsville for this project because of its high-tech aerospace manufacturing workforce and ecosystem, including NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, nearly 300 private aerospace and defense contractors, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville, a top university for NASA research funding. “Blue Origin selected the perfect home for this new rocket engine manufacturing because Huntsville has been a center of innovation in rocket propulsion for decades,” said Greg Canfield, secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “I look forward to seeing the lofty heights the partnership between this dynamic space flight company and Alabama’s historic Rocket City can reach in the future.” Mayor Tommy Battle said Huntsville is “ready to deliver” for Blue Origin, which he called “an innovative commercial space company that is changing what we think is possible in space.” “These BE-4 engines will power launch systems to put everything from satellites and products into orbit to space tourists and perhaps even space settlers into the final frontier,” he said. “You truly can’t get to space and explore all of its untold promise without going through Huntsville first.” He added: “We will produce the greatest rocket engines in the world right here in Huntsville.”

to have been pleasantly surprised by the travel times, Martin said. “Many have adjusted work schedules, and others appear to be utilizing the publicized alternate routes, which have only added an average of 10 minutes to previous commute times,” she said. “This is significantly better than the onehour delay that was expected by motorists. “The majority of the project should not affect nearby residents; however, some on the lower end of each side are able to witness the progress and hear noise. The contractor must abide by our noise ordinance, and not perform tasks that exceed the ordinance before 7 a.m. and after 10 p.m. in the area.” Carcel & G Construction serves as contractor on the project, which includes an incentive whereby the company may earn $30,000 per day — up to $2 million — for each day work is ahead of schedule or meets the abbreviated construction timeline. On the other hand, the company can also be penalized $30,000 per day — up to $2 million — for each day work is behind schedule.

Roughly 190,000 cu. yds. of dirt and other material will be moved on the project.

In addition to blasting, slope stabilization is considered a key task.
The arrangement proved beneficial on a recent major project, Martin said. “It allowed the contractor to take an aggressive approach to the construction sequence, and they completed the project one year ahead of schedule,” she said. ALDOT is contributing matching funds for the Cecil Ashburn widening effort, totaling 50 percent of the costs, she added. According to city of Huntsville civil engineer Alan Clements, innovative blasting techniques have been used as part of the widening effort. “We thoroughly investigated the site conditions, previous construction methods that we used and considered an improved approach to the blasting,” Clements said. “We utilized the same geotechnical engineer that previously performed subsurface investigations on site and spoke with many specialty contractors that had performed blasting in the area, to consider the least evasive approach to minimize damage to adjacent properties and provide a finish product that would minimize future maintenance needs.” Several drill rigs are performing blasting operations, with see BLASTING page 8

Report Lays Out Long-Term Recognition… Leadership Groups Nominates Transportation Plan for State Charles Evans for CIO Award A 66-page report issued by the Alabama Department of Transportation in late January is being viewed as a tool for mapping out the state’s infrastructure needs for the next 20 years — especially in terms of determining capacity needs and how to generate the funds to build it. “Infrastructure demand for the next 20 years is expected to focus on well-constructed and maintained roads and bridges with sufficient capacity and consideration for safety to enable efficient freight and passenger movement across the state,” the report noted. “In survey after survey, the adequacy of a state’s transportation system consistently ranks as one of the top three items companies assess when making business relocation or expansion decisions. And, for families, the transportation system provides a path to jobs, healthcare, education, community, tourism, and a number of other services,” it noted. “Our economy relies on a functioning, efficient transportation system to prosper and grow.” However, the report noted that the number of registered vehicles and vehicle miles traveled is increasing at a more rapid rate than the system has been adding capacity to accommodate them. From 1990 to 2015 the number of lane-miles increased 14 percent, while Alabama’s population increased 20 percent. At the same time, registered vehicles increased 46 percent while vehicle miles traveled increased 57 percent — all while
transportation funding has declined. “Alabama’s methods of paying for transportation infrastructure have lost and continue to lose purchasing power due to inflation, increasing fuel efficiency, and fleet changes, erasing the effects of the 1992 gas tax increase,” the report stressed. “Today’s replacement cost of all the road and bridge assets is about $390 billion or about $210,000 per Alabama household. The replacement cost will be $630 billion over 10 years or $1 trillion over 20 years.” Additional funding will also be needed to address demand for new capacity between now and 2040, ranging from $12 billion in its “minimum competitive scenario” to $16 billion in its “optimum scenario” and beyond, the report added. “Put annually, those translate to an additional $600 million for the minimum competitive scenario or $800 million for the optimum scenario,” it said. To generate additional funding, the report’s “working groups” suggested that indexing the state’s motor fuels tax to inflation will be one way to ease that funding crunch. “For Alabama, indexing gas and diesel taxes would have raised between $1.3 billion and $5.3 billion above the amounts derived from the existing 18 cents per gallon gas and 19 cents per gallon diesel taxes between 1992 and 2016, depending on the selected index,” the report noted.
Command Alkon, the Supplier Collaboration Platform for Construction’s Heavy Work, announced recently that CTO and Vice President Engineering Charles Evans has been named as a finalist for the 2019 Alabama CIO of the Year ORBIE Awards in the Enterprise category. The CIO of the Year ORBIE Awards, a technology executive recognition program, is sponsored by the Alabama CIO Leadership Association. Charles was chosen for demonstrating excellence in technology leadership and leading the development of new products and technologies, while enhancing the business value derived from Command Alkon’s current suite of products. “This is a meaningful Charles Evans recognition of Charles’ dedication to taking digitization to the next level of innovation and value to our customers across the construction industry,” said Phil Ramsey, CEO of Command Alkon. “I extend my congratulations to Charles and his entire team who exemplify the breakthrough thinking vital to keeping our industry vibrant.”
Finalists for the CIO of the Year ORBIE Awards were selected based on the size and scope of their responsibilities, leadership and management effectiveness, the business value created by technology innovation and their engagement in industry and community endeavors.

After Blasting, Road Crews Focus on Slope Stabilization BLASTING from page 4
multiple excavators moving the excavated material and debris. The contractor is required to predrill 2.5-in. holes at 2-ft. intervals to presplit the area prior to blasting. A combination of overburden and blast mats helps ease noise and vibrations. The drilling has consisted of a 2 ½-in. diameter presplit holes spaced on 30-in. centers, combined with an 8-ft.-by-8ft. production pattern using the same 2 ½-in. diameter. Work began in early January 2019 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of August 2020. Currently, crews are completing the last 15 percent of the clearing, as well as installing storm pipe, blasting rock and constructing embankments for the roadway widening. In addition to blasting, slope stabilization is considered a key task, and during the blasting process, the rock formations included clay seams in several areas not detected during the subsurface investigation, Clements said. “The treatment has been to remove all loose and erodible materials, placement of geotextile fabric, and backfilling the over-excavated areas with shot rock generated on site,” he
said. Presently, there are 25 crew members working 12-hour days, six days a week, in addition to subcontractors. Winter weather has not been a factor, since they are dealing primarily with rock excavation. Significant work yet to be carried out involves retaining walls, curb and gutter, asphalt paving, water main installation, traffic signal installation, striping, signage, grassing and concrete slope paving. Roughly 190,000 cu. yds. of dirt and other material will be moved on the project. In total, 35 pieces of equipment are being used, including four drill rigs; two off-road, 40-ton trucks; eight excavators, three dozers and grinding and processing equipment associated with the clearing of debris. The remaining machinery consists of rubber tire loaders and backhoes, fuel trucks and other support vehicles. Main materials being used during construction include rock fill generated on site, dense graded base, asphalt binder, wearing and leveling, geotextiles, concrete curb and gutter, concrete slope paving, precast drainage structures, steel-reinforced concrete box culvert and retaining walls, RCP pipe,
18-in. ductile water main and traffic signal poles and equipment. Clements said roadway improvements made to alternate routes prior to the closure have helped alleviate traffic congestion on the main routes through the area. “In addition, the city has implemented ride-share programs, along with programming longer green phases for routes that are carrying the additional capacity, as a result of this roadway closure,” he said. “The overall public response has been better, as a result of the advanced warnings, public involvement meetings, city website announcements and planning sessions.” Shane Davis, the city’s director of urban development, said the ongoing construction is part of the “Restore Our Roads” program, which is the first of its kind in the state. “It allows the state and the city to partner in $250 million for major roadway infrastructure in the city, that otherwise would have been cancelled or not performed due to a lack of federal/state funds. We are extremely appreciative of ALDOT’s participation in the agreement to move our infrastructure forward, as the city continues to grow.” CEG
