A popular New England tourist attraction is undergoing major changes. Work is under way on a new seal exhibit and 4D theater at Connecticut’s Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk, in response to the scheduled reconstruction of a railroad bridge adjacent to the

facility. “Two historic structures are at play here,” said Dave Truedson, Maritime Aquarium’s chief operating officer. “There’s the aquarium’s primary brick building, which opened in the 1860s as an iron-works factory on the Norwalk River, and the Walk Bridge, a swivel railroad bridge built in the 1880s to span the river.

“The Walk Bridge runs tightly between the aquarium’s primary building and its IMAX Theater, which was built new for the aquarium’s opening in 1988. The Walk Bridge has lasted beyond its expected lifetime, and has stuck open in recent years, shutting down MetroNorth’s New Haven Line and Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor. The see AQUARIUM page 10

Emerald Excavating Co. Inc.

Early Adoption of Technology Provides Huge Advantage An Emerald Excavating crew member operates a Komatsu intelligent Machine Control PC360LCi excavator on a job site in Hopkinton, Mass.

What do dentistry and excavating have in common? Nothing, and that’s precisely how Emerald Excavating got its start. “I was a dental hygienist, and one of the dentists I worked for wanted to get into construction,” recalled President Inge Kelleher. “He sold his practice, lined up some partners and hired my husband, Jim, to run the backhoe. After the first project, the dentist realized that he had made a big mistake. He offered to sell me the equipment, and I took him up on Inge Kelleher, president it.” Forty-six years later, that failed hobby is thriving as Emerald Excavating Co. life opportunity. Sheamus and I are neighInc. Inge handles human resources; and bors, Mom and Dad live close, we get to do while Jim is technically retired, he remains what we love and our kids can see their grandparents every day. In some fuzzy way, involved with the company. The couple passed down their love of the what I always envisioned is happening industry to their sons, Operations Manager now.” Today, Emerald Excavating has 50 Sheamus and Business Manager Rory, who employees and handles site development for are also co-owners. “We started working when we were prob- large projects, including roads, infrastructure ably too young to be here,” joked Rory. and grading. “Sheamus and I knew we wanted to be Building Relationships involved, so when the time came to return The key to success for this family enterafter college, the decision was natural. It wasn’t a financial move, it was more about a prise is simple — do the right thing for cus-

tomers. That credo has served the company well. “We’ve grown steadily throughout the years,” said Sheamus. “We started with smaller backyard jobs like septic installations. Then we began doing concrete foundations, dipped into commercial work and eventually got involved in residential projects in the early 2000s.” That background enabled the business to build a diverse skill set, which sets it apart from the competition. Working on large projects requires precise planning and execution. That’s why the company turns to C.N. Wood and Sales Rep. Keven Hobbs for Komatsu intelligent Machine Control equipment. “Rory and I are civil engineers, so we dove right into GPS technology,” shared Sheamus. “In 2005, we purchased a Topcon system and linked two dozers and excavators to it. We were one of the first on the East Coast to use it on an excavator. We knew it would provide a higher level of efficiency and allow us to work with confidence.” When Komatsu introduced intelligent Machine Control with integrated GPS tech-

nology and semi-automation, the Kelleher brothers quickly realized they needed it. “We were using add-on systems on another brand of equipment,” said Sheamus. “We liked it, although our main wish was always for a feature that would allow us to control depth. When we saw Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control, we were blown away.” C.N. Wood and Keven have helped Emerald Excavating build a fleet of Komatsu equipment, most notably including several intelligent Machine Control excavators and dozers. The machines have lived up to expectations. Tech Savy “We literally run our entire business with the GPS,” said Rory. “The difference between Komatsu’s intelligent Machine Control and a third-party system is capability. On the dozers, the load-sensing capabilities allow our operators to cut and carry or cut and fill using the system the whole time. The machine automatically loads the blade and grades. It’s so much more efficient. Using these excavators reduces the likelihood of overdigging and makes the job easier for operators.” see EMERALD page 6

Emerald Excavating Ahead of Curve on GPS Technology EMERALD from page 4

The brothers view the company’s use of intelligent Machine Control equipment as a clear advantage. “There are a lot of places that have had GPS for a while, although they don’t use it to the degree we do,” said Sheamus. “The biggest advantage in adopting it right away is that we are ahead of the curve on the learning process. Now, when something new comes out, we can add it and see an immediate benefit. We have an understanding, the operators get it and we are all on the same page.” The intelligent Machine Control equipment is firmly entrenched in Emerald’s fleet and paved the way for other Komatsu machines, including a PC238USLC tighttail-swing excavator. Komatsu’s equipment has proven to be dependable for Emerald Excavating. Likewise, services such as Komatsu CARE, KOMTRAX and Komatsu Financial have made Komatsu and C.N. Wood an essential part of Emerald Excavating’s operation. “We consider C.N. Wood and Komatsu to be strategic partners,” said Rory. “Our visions for the industry align nicely. It’s a collaborative relationship, and they have been very forthcoming in providing potential opportunities for us to try things that we wouldn’t necessarily have had access to.”

At a project in Hopkinton, Mass., an Emerald Excavating operator put a Komatsu PC238USLC excavator to work moving material.

The Sweet Spot Exponential growth and evolution have never been the goal of Emerald Excavating, and it seems poised to remain that way as Rory and Sheamus prepare to guide the family business into the next generation. “We have found our sweet spot,” stated Rory. “With our size, we have a lot of control over our product, and we’re also able to do any project we want. I see us staying on that path, and growth will come through diversification.” (This story was reprinted with permission from C.N. Wood’s Wood Works Magazine, Jan. 2020 issue.) 

Sheamus Kelleher, operations manager

Using an intelligent Machine Control D61PXi dozer, an Emerald Excavating operator effortlessly grades on a recent project. “The load-sensing capabilities (of the D61PXi) allow operators to cut and carry or cut and fill using the system the whole time,” said Business Manager Rory Kelleher. “The machine automatically loads the blade and grades. It’s so much more efficient.”

Crews Remove Contaminated Soils From Aquarium Site AQUARIUM from page 1

multi-year replacement of the bridge, expected to begin in 2021, requires removal of the aquarium’s iconic IMAX Theater to allow for room to work.” In addition, the aquarium’s harbor seals exhibit — an indoor-outdoor display that’s a centerpiece of the facility — would expose guests and seals to noise, vibration and potential debris from the bridge construction project. The aquarium reached a functional replacement agreement with the city of Norwalk and state of Connecticut in late 2018 that will fund construction of the new movie theater adjacent to the main entrance, and fortify elements of the aquarium to be impacted during the bridge work, primarily the construction of a larger, enclosed seal exhibit and the relocation of an exhibit of African meerkats. Truedson noted that it’s crucial the projects be completed before the bridge replacement begins in 2021, for both the safety and enjoyment of guests and the animals. “Minimizing the significant economic damages that will occur due to the bridge project is critical if the aquarium is to remain one of the The Maritime Aquarium photo state’s largest tourist attractions and an economic driver for the city and Virtually all the soils disturbed during demolition were contaminated. The proper removal, storage and disposal was a priority. state.” The aquarium welcomes approximately half-a-million guests each year, primarily from the tri-state area. Some 80,000 school students tour the aquarium during field trips, or receive visits to their schools by the aquarium’s “traveling teachers”. “The Maritime Aquarium is a bit different from many aquariums, in that we focus primarily on one body of water, the Long Island Sound,” said Truedson. “Some 300 species are displayed, and nearly all are native to the Sound and its watershed. Guest favorites include the sand tiger sharks, harbor seals, sea turtles, river otters, octopuses and jellies. “Our staff and our guests are excited about the new seal exhibit, which will be two stories high and fully enclosed by a new exterior wall. At 150,000 gallons, the seals’ new home will be The Maritime Aquarium’s largest exhibit, seven times bigger than the original.” Regarding construction of the new seal tank, Truedson said the first and most important task is making certain guests know the seals are still on site. This is accomplished through signage and guidance by volunteers The Maritime Aquarium photo see AQUARIUM page 14

AP Construction, O&G Industries Team Up in Joint Venture AQUARIUM from page 10

The aquarium reached a functional replacement agreement and guest-services staff. with the city of Norwalk and state of Connecticut in late 2018 “From a construction standpoint, in that will fund construction of the new movie theater adjacent to order to expand the seals’ home from a the main entrance, and fortify elements of the aquarium to be 20,000-gallon exhibit to a 150,000-galimpacted during the bridge work. lon exhibit, a new connection to the street sanitary sewer line is necessary. This has required laying the line directly through our main hall, which serves as a central hub for guests. “Completely closing the hall to lay the line was impractical. Half our exhibits would be inaccessible to guests, so the work was done in two segments. Each segment required erecting tall construction walls in the hall. Fortunately, this work occurred from mid-January to midFebruary, which is a time of low visitation. Also, guests who did visit during this time have been very understanding about the temporary white walls, and excited to learn about the new seal exhibit.” In November, the seals moved into a 30,000-gallon exhibit that was the former home of the aquarium’s “Go Fish” exhibit, which featured historically important game/commercial fish species. “Seals commonly come out of the water to rest, so relocating a seal is not as time-critical as with dolphins or whales. Our animal husbandry staff has worked with the seals for many years in getting them comfortable coming out of their exhibit for individual medical treatments, when needed, and as a group, for safety, when Superstorm Sandy approached our area. “For this move, the seals all willingly came out of their exhibit and, because a stairway was involved, they were transported to their home-away-from-home in large dog crates. Staff observation is that the seals have shown more activity since the move, quickly adjusting to their larger, deeper temporary quarters. The aquarium is home to five female harbor seals, a species that commonly migrates into Long Island Sound each winter. “The seals’ dog-like faces and graceful aqua-batics give them great appeal, which is why a seal is the animal featured in The Maritime Aquarium’s logo,” said Truedson. The current six-story screen theater, the first IMAX theater built in the state, will remain operational until the new 4D theater is opened in late 2020. In early 2021, the old structure will be demolished. The project is a joint venture between AP Construction and O&G Industries. Work began in November 2019, and will be completed by December 2020. Before construction could begin, a parking lot had to be removed, requiring the proper handling of contaminated soils. “The other primary demolition involved jackhammering the existing seal tank,” said Frank Fazekas, project manager, AP Construction. “That was a Hazmat operation, due to the PCB-laden waterproofing material that had been applied over the concrete structure.” Virtually all the soils disturbed during demolition were see AQUARIUM page 16

contaminated. The proper removal, storage and disposal was a priority. “Our erosion control measures required regular maintenance due to the close proximity of the Norwalk River to the job site,” said Fazekas. “Since the project was situated on a turn-of-the-century industrial area, we routinely discovered underground utilities that were not on any of the plans.” Other unexpected issues included finding buried foundations across the entire area and stumbling upon new foundation conditions, which sometimes clashed with plans for new foundations and necessitated redesign. As for the main challenges on the job, “The first is performing our work at a facility that is open 363 days a year, welcoming some 500,000 visitors,” said Fazekas. “We are required to work around the aquarium’s daily operations,

without disrupting them in any way. The second is the site itself. The work areas are very tight, and there is no extra room for things like laydown or staging.” Currently, crews are continuing excavation and driving the remaining piles for the seal tank. There will be approximately 180 piles driven. So far, the elements have not been a problem for workers. There were some wet conditions, but generally the mild weather has been helpful. An estimated 2,500 to 3,000 cu. yds. of dirt will be moved on the project, which involved razing a playground to make way for a temporary entrance across the street from the parking garage. Permanent asphalt ADA-compliant ramps and a sidewalk have been built. At this time, work on the majority of the project remains. The next scheduled milestones include the start of steel erec-

tion in the theater area in April, and completion of the pile driving for the seal tank and the foundation in preparation for structural steel in June. The primary equipment on site includes Hitachi ZX85USB-5N and Wacker WL280 excavators. There also have been three different pile driving machines on the premises to install H, micro and helical piles. These include a Junttan PM25 pile driving rig and HHK4 hydraulic impact hammer. The main theater materials required are piles, concrete, steel, metal studs and drywall. The primary materials for the seal tank are more involved. “In addition to piles, concrete, masonry and steel, specialized materials and systems to construct the aquatic living environment will include custom acrylic viewing windows, see AQUARIUM page 18

life support systems for water temperature, chemistry, filtration, exhibitry to sculpt life-like natural settings to house the seals and add to the viewer experience and specialized tank waterproofing for aquatic life,” said Dave Breidenbach, project executive, AP Construction. Complications arose when the habitat was found to be not a few inches of shotcrete applied over a few inches of foam, as expected, but solid shotcrete that varied from 12 to more than 24 inches in thickness. Crews had their hands full, but managed to push through. “We are experienced in building aquatic environments,” said Breidenbach. “Constructing the new tank relies on conventional construction methods, but also involves the sourcing, scheduling and accommodation of specialized treatments, fixtures and systems. “The foundations for the seal tank have thus far been the most complicated and time-consuming portion of the project. Differing site conditions, existing foundation discoveries and required redesign work have added time to our schedule, and required us to modify our work staging to maintain momentum.” Despite the amount of construction involved, Truedson said the end product is worth the wait. “It’s great to see these projects finally get under way after years of negotiations and design work. However, the real reward will come at completion.”  CEG

The current six-story screen theater, the first IMAX Theater built in the state, will remain operational until the new 4D theater is opened in late 2020. In early 2021, the old structure will be demolished.

Northeastern Revamps Carter Field Courts With New Base Classic Turf Company completed a major reconstruction project on the courts of Carter Field at Northeastern University. Using post tension concrete foundations, Classic Turf Company replaced asphalt courts that were more than 20 years old. Upon completion of the project, the University was presented with one of the Distinguished Tennis Facilities of the Year awards from the American Sports Builders Association. The courts feature structural concrete

slabs over a prepared base that is reinforced with tensioned cables after the concrete is installed. This type of base is more equipped than asphalt to withstand extreme temperatures and the typical wear and tear courts receive from regular use. Classic Turf Company has a 20-year structural guarantee on the courts it commissions and its courts are known for their visual appeal and functionality. In addition to completing the construction work for the university, John Eren, the

vice president of Classic Turf Company, provided engineering students at the school with a guided tour of the post tension slab construction process and answered questions about the designs. Eren graduated from Northeastern’s Engineering School in 2005 before obtaining Level 1 and Level 2 certifications from the Post Tensioning Institute. Since then, he has used his engineering background and athletic court construction experience to assist in the design and installation of post tension concrete

courts across the country. Headquartered in Woodbury, Conn., Classic Turf Company is a family owned business that specializes in the construction of post tension concrete tennis courts, basketball courts and running tracks. Classic Turf Company has constructed courts for universities, schools and communities across the country, as well as for private property owners.
