Mathiowetz Construction mobilized 50 pieces of heavy equipment this season to work the project.

EXCAVATION from page 90 cu. yds. of common excavation; 1,400 ft. of precast box culvert; and 100,000 cu. yds. of aggregate.

Mathiowetz crews have a mechanic with a fully equipped repair truck on its construction sites with the ability to make most repairs if necessary.

Except in some of the surcharge areas, the new westbound pavement will be done by Nov. 1. All traffic will be switched to the new alignment and the eastbound lanes will be shut down over the winter.

This coming spring, mill and overlay work on the eastbound lanes will start up as the South Gap of the project begins work.

This seasons’ highway work will open to all four lanes of traffic in the fall of 2023 and the South Gap section of the project will be completed in the fall of 2024.  CEG

INITIATIVE from page 78

In addition to prioritizing the purchase of steel, concrete, asphalt and flat glass, the federal government will purchase these materials when they have fewer emissions.

The Biden Administration anticipates prioritizing additional construction materials and pollutants for Buy Clean Federal procurement.

The administration will expand lower-carbon construction materials used in federallyfunded projects.

In addition to federal procurement, Buy Clean will also cover federally-funded projects.

The initiative will jumpstart a new partnership between state governments and federal partners to align state-based Buy Clean policies with federal incentives.

The incentives will expand markets for clean manufacturing and low carbon materials across the nation’s buildings and infrastructure. In March, the GSA issued new standards for the concrete and asphalt used in the

Next month, the White House will con- agency’s construction, modernization and paving projects.vene states to share knowledge and build capacity for public construction projects that support American workers and lower carbon emissions, it said.

The initiative will increase data transparency through supplier reporting to help American manufacturers track and reduce emissions.

The administration plans to expand the reliability, transparency and verification of EPDs including GHG emissions reporting for actual supply chain production.

The initiative will launch pilot programs to advance federal procurement of clean construction materials.

“Federal Buy Clean Initiative pilots have already broken ground across the country — from Denver, Colorado, to Salt Lake City, Utah, to Champlain, New York, to Lukeville, Arizona — in partnership with regional contractors and subcontractors including engineering, architecture and materials firms, with technical support from DOE, EPA and USDA.” The Buy Clean task force agencies will continue to launch pilots, expand the scope of industrial pollutants and materials, engage industry and establish mechanisms for collection and public disclosure of the data.

Agencies Join Effort

Together, the expanded Task Force agencies account for 90 percent of all federally-financed and purchased construction materials.

The Department of Agriculture is supporting innovations in construction materials made from sustainably-harvested and waste bio-materials

The goal is to integrate these materials into and potentially replace carbon-intensive materials. In grant program criteria, the DOT has incentivized the use of materials that reduce carbon emissions.

In June, the department’s chief sustainability officer launched a lower carbon procurement pilot to increase utilization of EPDs and encourage the acquisition of products and materials with low embodied carbon emissions.

In April 2022, FHWA issued a climate challenge to reduce the lifecycle emissions in the design, construction and maintenance of pavements. The challenge received 40 submissions from 25 states.

FHWA also launched a tool, known as LCA PAVE, that can be used to assess environmental impacts of pavement material and design decisions.

The department’s Embodied Carbon Working Group will support new efforts to ensure all of USDOT’s modal administrations are prioritizing Buy Clean.

The DOE is supporting Buy Clean with training, technical assistance and innovation grants.

The Building Technology Office is building tools for whole building lifecycle analysis. The Advanced Manufacturing Office is supporting with tools to support standard-setting for specific products. The DOD and the military departments are analyzing modernization requirements for process, guidance, criteria and specifications to accelerate the transition to low-carbon building materials. “This includes screening potential projects to implement Buy Clean specifications,” said the White House. It also involves coordinating with U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory and Construction Engineering Research Laboratory to analyze the lifecycle carbon footprint, costs, resilience and timeliness of low-carbon building materials. The EPA is emphasizing the urgency of investing in energy efficiency across manufacturing facilities with access to the ENERGY STAR program. It will integrate energy performance benchmarking tools and enable facility-level industrial carbon emissions via facility benchmarking data. EPA also is working with external partners to standardize and improve EPDs guidelines. GSA will require suppliers to provide environmental product declarations and meet low-carbon concrete and environmentally preferable asphalt standards informed by insights from industry.

The Department of State and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate are aggregating corporate purchasing commitments of near- and net-zero materials through the First Movers Coalition.

The department also has launched a decarbonization initiative, focused on reducing embodied emissions in overseas construction at embassies and other facilities.  CEG
