BRIDGE from page 9

What made R&R the best choice for this project, beyond the bid, Guerette explained, was that, “We had control of the design process. We worked closely with TY Lin and designed a bridge we knew we could build efficiently. We submitted a good design, and have an excellent history of completing complex bridge jobs on time and on budget,” added Guerette.

Reed & Reed also gave credit to its sub-contractors on the project, including: RJ Grondin of Gorham, Maine, which is doing the earth work on the approaches to the bridge and AD Electric of Sabattus, Maine, the electrical and lighting subcontractor.

The scheduled date to open the new bridge is July 2012.

“Contract completion date is Dec. 31, 2011. This will leave us six months to remove the existing bridge and demobilize the site,” said the Project Manager.

Expanded Crews, Long Hours Guerette said there will be no 2011-2012 winter shut down for crews, no matter how deep the snow or fierce the Maine winds blow.

“We have worked one shift, mainly 9-10 hours per day, five days a week. We had no winter shut down during the winter of 2010 and don’t About the Company plan to shut down in 2011,” said the boss. “The first eight months of the Reed & Reed was founded in 1928. The thriving contracting and project, we had a staff of approximately 25 field crew and seven office heavy iron construction company employs about 200 people. support people working primarily on bridge substructure.

Beyond building and rebuilding bridges, highways and roads, it is “In May of 2010, as segmental erection began, and the substructure work continued, our crew grew to a high point of 65 field crew and 15 noted for its Marine building work, wind power generation and solid office support. Our current staff includes 38 in the field and 12 in sup- diversification.

Asked to name the company’s top eight projects over the past decade, port of field operations,” said Guerette.

Primarily, he added, Reed & Reed is using Manitowoc 16000 440-ton (399 t) and 999 275-ton (249 t) crane models, both barge mounted, to erect pre-cast segments.

These cranes are both owned by Reed & Reed.

The formidable steel of the project – 35,000 linear feet of steel pipe pile, was supplied by Skyline Steel. The 1 million pounds of rebar was furnished by HarMac Rebar & Steel, and the 10,500 cu yds of concrete was supplied

by Dragon Products.

In addition, 8,000 tons (7,257 t) of asphalt will be put down, with work to be completed by Pike Industries.

There also will be 1,250,000 linear ft (381,000 m) of post tensioning cable and 9,660 linear ft (2,944 m) of post tension bars, both supplied by DSI-USA of Chicago.

Another major supplier was Unistress Corporation of Pittsfield, Mass., which built the precast segments. These segments were built in its plant in Pittsfield and trucked The bridge currently serves 10,000 vehicles per day and is a major connecting to the job site.

“We have excellent experience and job knowledge,” said Guerette.

This is the first precast segmental bridge that Reed & Reed has ever “We have the right equipment for the job, and a crew with a great attibuilt, added the Project Manager, but they were ready as planned.

Link-Belt HTC-3140, HTC3140 LB: Technology Where You Need It the operator comfortable at high boom angles. Gauge and control placement has been overhauled and includes a new outrigger operation with self-leveling. A durable, rubberized coating keeps the floor resistant to wear and easy to clean. A swing-up roof window with windshield wiper and washer, engine-dependent warm water cab heating, a sun screen, cup holder and a five-way-adjustable seat with headrest ensure a comfortable work environment, according to the manufacturer. The lower cab is user friendly with office racks, a hat rack and an easy-to-read LCD display.

On the carrier, the 3140s use the same outrigger controls and self-leveling system as the ATC-3275. The outriggers (and winches) comply with the latest OSHA mandates and include a light at each outrigger.

Just as important as what these cranes have is what they don’t have.

The 3140s gained no weight despite adding new emissions technology and many other features.

Other features of the HTC-3140 and HTC-3140 LB: • Power and heated mirrors • Access ladders and folding upper guardrails • Low profile emission (SCR/DPF) compartment • The CALC (Confined Area Lifting Capacities) system • Chrome exhaust shield and piping • Large engine access • Supported 24/7 by Link-Belt Preferred including online manuals, literature, a ground bearing calculator, and 3D Lift Plan. CQ

Designed as simple, cost-effective heavy-lift truck cranes, the 140-ton (120 t) HTC-3140 and HTC-3140 LB (long boom) deliver capacity and transportability as the largest truck cranes in North America. For 2012, they also deliver a host of new features and the latest emissions technology available.

The new 3140s now have Cummins engines in both the upper and lower. The upper uses the Tier IVi/Stage IIIB QSB 6.7 engine with 215 hp (160 kW) and 685 ft.-lbs. (929 Nm) of torque. The lower uses Cummins’ 2010 EPA emissions-compliant ISX15 with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR). It has 581 horsepower (434 kW) and 1850 foot-pounds (2,508 Nm) of torque.

Mated to the new engine is an Eaton UltraShift PLUS transmission with 11 forward speeds, three reverse speeds and no-clutch-pedal shifting. The transmission’s Hill Start Aid prevents roll-back or roll-forward when launching on grades. The crane also has a two-speed auxiliary transmission for precise job site travel. On the road, the 3140 can top 65 mph (104.6 kph).

Further updating the HTC-3140/3140 LB is the in-house designed Link-Belt Pulse total crane operating system. Link-Belt Pulse monitors multiple crane functions including real-time latching boom operation, counterweight removal and installation and has extensive diagnostic capabilities. Link-Belt Pulse also functions as a rated capacity limiter with indicators for maximum allowable load, load on hook, overload, crane geometry, wind speed and two block conditions.

Also new to the 3140 are redesigned cabs with new gauges and revised control placement. The upper cab tilts up to 20 degrees keeping

Cranes Lift New Veteran’s Memorial Bridge Toward Completion in Spring ’12

By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT

Take 35,000 linear ft (10.668 m) of steel pipe, add 1 million pounds (453,592 kg) of rebar, mix in 10,500 cu yds (8,027 cu m) of concrete and viola! You have replaced a 60-year-old bridge with a modern designbuild classic.

Reed & Reed Inc., Woolwich, Maine, is the designer and builder of The Veteran’s Memorial Bridge Replacement Project, owned by the Maine Department of Transportation.

The existing Veteran’s Memorial Bridge, which carries US Route. 1 across the Fore River from Portland to South Portland, Maine, was built in the early 1950s. The bridge currently serves 10,000 vehicles per day and is a major connecting route from Interstate 295 to the business district and working waterfront of Portland.

Reed & Reed, which has had a stellar reputation in the construction and contracting industry since 1929, has worked with top designer architects to construct what will surely become a modern classic in Maine.

According to Reed & Reed Project Manager Charlie Guerette, the $63.12 million project will be finished on time, on budget and is 85 percent complete at this writing.

Span’s 100-year Lifespan “We are teamed with TY Lin International to complete design and construction of the new bridge and the removal of the existing bridge,” said Guerette, P.E. “The project was awarded on a ‘best value’ to the owner system where all proposals were judged in five different areas for technical score. The five evaluation criteria were Design Concept; Context Sensitive Solutions; Project Management and Quality Program; Maintenance and Protection of Traffic/Project Sequencing; and Public Information Plan.

“The basis of the award (was finalized) in total lump sum price/technical score,” added Guerette. “Reed & Reed’s proposal was the lowest lump sum price and the highest technical score.”

The company’s lump sum bid was for $63,122,000.

Guerette added that the scope of the project is to replace the existing bridge with a new bridge designed to last a century – a span, that is, with a 100-year lifespan. The total length of the new bridge is 1610 ft. (490 m).

“The new bridge is a segmental precast concrete super structure, consisting of parallel trapezoidal concrete box sections, approximately 40 feet wide with a three-foot cast in place deck section between the boxes to create one uniform deck surface, approximately 83 feet wide. The deck will support two lanes of traffic in each direction and a separated multi-purpose lane for bikes and pedestrians.

“We have six piers in the river, spaced at 250 feet with the two abutment spans slightly shorter,” he added. “The river piers consist of pipe pile supported cast in place, concrete footings and pier shafts, constructed with sheet pile cofferdams and concrete seal placements.”

According to Reed & Reed’s Project Manager, the history of the project has gone like this, thus far: • Proposals were submitted in November 2009 • Technical score summaries and pricing were opened in January 2010 and the project was awarded in February 2010.

• Work began on construction of the new bridge in August 2010.

A terrible Maine winter – one of the worst New England has seen in 20 or more years – did not deter the Reed & Reed crews.

“We worked through the winter of 2010, into 2011, constructing river piers, the Portland Abutment and some MSE retaining wall. We began erecting precast segments in May of 2011,” stated Guerette.

Pier and abutment construction was completed in July 2011 The segmental erection will be completed on Nov. 10, 2011.

Guerette added that 361 segmental bridge sections have been erected in just seven months.

“This winter, we will complete the concrete curb and center closure concrete on the bridge deck and be ready for membrane and paving in the spring of 2012,” he said.

See BRIDGE page 10

Reed & Reed is using Manitowoc 16000 440-ton (399 t) and 999 275-ton (249 t) crane models, both barge mounted, to erect pre-cast segments.
