MaineDOT Plans Big, Small Building Merrimack’s Third Projects From 2021 Through 2023 Water Treatment Plant to Be Built If you’re wondering whether the roads on your commute to work, or if you’re working from home, the road to the grocery store, is due for a fix, the MaineDOT may have your answer.

The state agency recently released a searchable database as part of its threeyear work plan, where anyone can view projects slated for 2021-23 organized by the municipality.

“Years and years ago, our work plans used to be in print version and only distributed to policymakers and such,” MaineDOT Commissioner Bruce Van Note said in a phone interview. “We realized, to take a spoof on Tip O’Neill’s saying, ‘All politics is local,’ well, all transportation is local, too.”

The DOT has released a similar database each year since 2013. There are plenty of central Maine projects included in the report, many of which are big-ticket items – roads, bridges and airport jobs – slated to be built from Augusta to Pittsfield. The finances include all sources of funding, including federal, state and municipal dollars as well as grants.

The state’s plans, can be found at https://www.maine.gov/mdot/projects/workplan/index.shtml “We came up with this work plan process so people could see what we are doing the next three years, and through our website, can go back and see what we’ve done,” Van Note explained. “The DOT’s work plan process is often perceived as just a group of projects. And of course, it is, but it’s really an assembly line that just keeps going.”

Here’s a look at projects around central Maine:

Waterville Eight projects are estimated to cost more than $1 million. The biggest of these is the $40.5 million replacement of the Ticonic Bridge between Waterville and Winslow in 2022 and 2023. In addition, the Robert LaFleur Airport will see a $6.28 million safety and infrastructure improvement in 2021; the Interstate 95 northbound and southbound bridges spanning Webb Road just north of the Sidney town line, midway between exits 124 and 127, will be replaced for more than $4.5 million each in 2022 and 2023.

Augusta Runway and taxiway reconstruction at the Augusta State Airport will be accomplished in 2021 at a cost of $3.35 million. Multi-million-dollar bridge construction also is slated for 20222023 with the replacement of Rines Hill Bridge over the old Maine Central Railroad coming in at $4.45 million; and the replacement of the Western Avenue bridge over I-95 is expected to cost $8.5 million.

Belgrade In 2022, a project described as a mitigation effort to offset impacts to wells will cost $2 million. The effort also includes a groundwater investigation.

China In 2022 and 2023, MaineDOT plans to address a large culvert on U.S. Highway 202 near the intersection of Pond Road. The work, which is estimated to cost $515,000, includes highway safety and spot improvements, in addition to culvert upgrades.

Clinton The Manley Holt Bridge is expected to be replaced to the tune of $2.1 million in 2022 and 2023.

Fairfield State Rt. 139 will get $2.93 million worth of work in paving and other improvements. More than 5 mi. of the route will get attention in 2022 and 2023.

Sidney Upgrades to Maine Rt. 104 also will take place in 2021, as a $920,000 project will resurface and pave the road for more than 5 mi. beginning just north of the Augusta town line.

Skowhegan U.S. 2 West will get $660,000 worth of work in two projects. The first, which is lined up for this year, involves 6.37 mi. of surface and base maintenance. The second and larger effort will be at the intersection of Madison Avenue and Commercial Street. Town residents will see safety and spot improvements, as well as signal improvements in 2022 and 2023.

Vassalboro U.S. 201 will get some assistance later this year, with $941,000 worth of

work. New pavement will be laid beginning at the Augusta line and expanding northward for more than 4 mi.

Winslow Two $1 million-plus projects are scheduled in the next few years. A $1.1 million contract will provide paving and filling on Benton Avenue beginning at the Clinton Avenue intersection and expanding north for approximately seven-tenths of a mile. In 2022 or 2023, $1.91 million will go toward a replacement of the Fish Bridge over Winslow Stream near the Benton line.

Norridgewock The Central Maine Regional Airport has three different projects on the docket totaling $859,000 for a multiphase, three-year effort focused on safety and infrastructure improvements through field investigations, studies and research.

Pittsfield Work also is set to occur at the Pittsfield municipal airport in 2021 where nearly $1 million worth of infrastructure improvements will be done, which may include a six-bay hanger.

Bridge work on I-95 going through the city also is planned for the area in 202223.

The Sebasticook River Bridge, spanning southbound over the interstate, will receive $4.38 million in rehabilitation work; a $2.6 million rehab is slated for the southbound North Main Street Bridge over Madawaska Avenue, while the northbound structure’s deck will be replaced for $1.18 million.

Another replacement of the bridge deck of the southbound State Rt. 152 and Maine Central Railroad bridge over Rt. 152 has been budgeted to cost $2.93 million.

Van Note said the coronavirus pandemic impacted the planning process in a couple ways: fewer people have been driving, so fuel tax revenue is not as high. However, interest rates are so low, bonding and federal funding allows MaineDOT to move forward.

With the public database, he encourages everyone who wishes to view the state’s upcoming transportation projects, and at what cost, can do so.

“We just like people to be able to see where their money is going so they can ask questions,” Van Note said. 

With construction expected to begin in April, Merrimack, N.H.’s third water treatment facility is designed to treat contamination of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, or PFAS. Peter Pitsas, a project manager with Underwood Engineering of Concord, has been overseeing the designs of the PFAS treatment plants for Merrimack Village District (MVD) wells since contamination was discovered coming from faucets at the Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics facility and later within the surrounding groundwater.

Once the new treatment plant is complete, Merrimack will have three PFAS treatment plants for its public water wells serviced by MVD. That will bring the total of New Hampshire PFAS plants to five, including one in Dover and one now under construction in Portsmouth.

“You guys are on the leading edge of what is happening in the state,” Pitsas told MVD planning officials in December while introducing site plans for the newest treatment facility.

He predicts that other municipalities will be inquiring about Merrimack’s treatment sites and using them as role models as water companies adjust to recently approved state regulations for perfluorooctanoic acid contamination.

The newest treatment plant will be constructed for MVD’s Well No. 2 in the area around Berry Lane and Stevens Avenue off Amherst Road.

If all goes to plan, the Merrimack facility will break ground in April.

The new plant will include four vessels, each 12 ft. in diameter, 26 ft. high and filled with two-thirds granular activated carbon, which Pitsas explained is the treatment for PFAS. MVD also is exploring the idea of drilling a new well in the same vicinity, which would be known as Well No. 9.

“The goal is to have the total for Well No. 2 and Well No. 9 to be 2,000 gallons per minute,” added Pitsas.

This newest well could potentially replace Well No. 3, which is experiencing a significant amount of iron and manganese content, as well as elevated sodium and chloride levels.

“The water is getting very difficult to treat there,” he said.

Previously, MVD constructed a treatment plant for wells No. 4 and No. 5 along Front Street.

That facility was under construction in the summer of 2019 and began treating water in October, meaning each well is now back online after being out of commission for several months.

In addition, wells No. 7 and No. 8 in Hollis also required one new treatment plant. That construction broke ground last July and should be up and running by August or September of 2021, according to Pitsas.

“I think what we are going to create is a new paradigm for a lot of other municipalities and village districts in New Hampshire,” said Bill Boyd, a Merrimack town councilor and planning board member. 

Contractors Wait for Border Opening to Begin Work On Much-Needed Crossing CROSSING from page 1

addition, the final details on both projects remain uncertain.

Contractors for both the LPOE and the International Bridge have prepared to start work in the coming months, with Woolwich, Maine’s Reed & Reed, specialists in bridge builders, planning to move trailers into town by the end of April, according to the St. John Valley Times.

Meanwhile, there is no official start date for the LPOE project either, with the federal General Services Administration (GSA) saying only that the current timeline marks this summer for the site preparation. GSA and its Tennessee-based contractor J & J Contractors are still designing their project, which should continue for another six to nine months, the GSA told the local new outlet.

The reasons for replacing the steeltruss International Bridge are straightforward: After almost a century of service, the span over the Saint John River was determined by DOTs in two coun-

tries to be in poor condition.

Both Canada’s New Brunswick transportation agency and MaineDOT agreed that, despite efforts to maintain its upkeep, the old bridge’s rate of deterioration was quickly bringing it closer to being obsolete. In recent years, its load capacity was determined to be a paltry five tons (the equivalent of a passenger vehicle).

MaineDOT said on its website that the nearly 100-year-old structure, “no longer meets the needs of the communities and local businesses because of its width and load capacity. It would cost more to upgrade the current bridge than to build a new one.”

When construction on the new Madawaska/Edmundston International Bridge finally gets under way, it will be located approximately 1,300 ft. upriver of the old structure on the Saint John.

A more modern border station near the U.S. end of the bridge will be an upgrade over the “substandard” size and conditions of the existing building, too. MaineDOT has said the station

prevented “customs and inspection agencies from adequately fulfilling their respective missions.”

The reopening of the border between the United States and Canada cannot come fast enough for Reed & Reed as it worries about delays in its construction project.

“We sure hope they’ll lift the COVID restrictions soon, because we need to have access over there,” CEO Jackson Parker said while speaking to the St. John Valley Times. “I hope and think by the time we get up there and start working in May we’ll be able to have open borders, [but] your guess is as good as mine.”

If workers are unable to cross, Parker said the company would focus on building up the U.S.-side abutment until the restrictions lift.

Construction also will likely affect downtown driving in Madawaska, with Main Street running immediately adjacent to the LPOE site. Away from the see CROSSING page 10

JDC Demolition, Dow Contribute to Massive School Project SOMERVILLE from page 4

abatement activities, was completed in late August, with debris removal taking place in October.

“Following the removal of any hazardous materials, the demolition contractors commenced bulk building take-down activities,” said Antonellis, “followed by sorting and stockpiling aligned with material reuse and recycling. These activities all happened directly on site. The Dow Company Inc. managed site soils as part of its overall site work scope. Soils were generally stockpiled unless prevented by site constraints that required live-loading.”

Mike Rygiel, Dow’s project manager, is eager to return to the site to help complete Phase 3.

Dow arrived on the site in October 2018, where for two years its crews engaged in mass excavation, site prep and soil nailing operations.

“Phases 1 and 2 required a lot of soil excavation,” he said. “During Phase 1, the building was terraced with 20-foot cuts and there were retaining walls that were 20 feet tall at some levels. Overall, we were looking at close to a 50-foot change in elevation from the upper elevation to the lower level. It wasn’t easy as there were existing buildings that had to remain in place. With the 20-foot cuts right up against them, we had to install 20foot deep holes on the back side that we had to backfill to bring it up to grade.”

This required an immense amount of planning to create the support.

“We poured holes through the footings of the foundations and then installed mini-piles in the holes, injecting grout on top of them to build a mushroom-like cap underneath the footings,” said Rygiel. “This allowed us to excavate vertically right up against the footing.”

This work was performed by Hub Foundation Co. Inc., a subcontractor brought in by Dow, based on its experience of dealing with similar situations.

Dow crews worked through the winter months, which saw soil nailing and earth support operations performed in the cold

weather between January and March of 2019.

“Soil nailing requires spraying concrete grout against mesh walls, which we did in freezing conditions,” said Rygiel.

Cat excavators, a 349 and a 336, were critical for the excavation operations.

“Most of the work required the use of excavators,” Rygiel said. “As we excavated soil, we would cast them behind us and down to the lower level where another excavator would be loading a tractor trailer to haul the soil off site.”

For the mini-piles, the subcontractor utilized airtracks.

Having reliable equipment was critical to meet benchmark.

“We maintain our equipment pretty well,” said Rygiel. “We don’t experience much down time on our equipment and for the Somerville project, I can’t think of any instances where we had any issues with equipment.”

Dow purchases and rents equipment from dealerships, such as Milton CAT. The Central Hill monument, honoring Union Civil War soldiers, was moved between January and February 2019.

“All existing monuments within the site were meticulously removed and crated for storage off site until they can be re-installed within the city at a later date and location,” said Antonellis. “Larger monuments required documentation and disassembly in advance of crating for offsite storage.”

Soil nailing activities ran from January through March 2019, with foundations completed in June 2019. The foundations were cast-in-place concrete.

Operations to remove the existing Field House roof began in June 2019.

“This work entailed not only the entire removal of the 26,400-square-foot roofing assembly, but also the roof decking, and existing 121-foot-long span truss structure,” said Antonellis. “As existing trusses were removed, new replacement trusses were hoisted into place followed by an entirely new roof decking membrane assembly. This tightly coordinated sequence of activities

was completed ahead of schedule.

“The biggest challenge was managing water that inevitably would enter the building while portions of the roof were open,” he added. “The Suffolk Construction team devised a ‘bathtub’ approach whereas a membrane was installed over the entire Field House floor area and temporary drains installed to manage any rain water that came into the structure.”

The east building demolition was completed in August 2019 and via solid progress, the Phase 1 steel topping off ceremony occurred in October.

“Both the west and east structures were turned over to the client in February 2021,” said Antonellis. “The building envelope is multi-faceted with a large number of different surface planes. Additionally, the myriad of building elevations all had differing grade elevations, making logistics especially challenging. Envelope material conditions also ranged from a terra-cotta rainscreen system, including varying brise soleil systems to reduce thermal gains, to new masonry, historic preservation of existing masonry, curtainwall, metal panel, and DAFS [directapplied finish system].

“Suffolk worked with the various envelope subcontractors to coordinate the extremely tight dimensional tolerances between the multiple systems and their respective air vapor barrier and waterproofing components,” said Antonelis. “To better manage and understand these critical system interfaces, the project included the design and construction of a complete mockup structure, essentially a mini-building that included all envelope systems for both the façade and roofing. As the mockup structure was fully enclosed, it was also subjected to envelope pressure and waterproofing testing.”

Installation of the MEP/FP systems for the building started virtually, with all components fully modelled and spatially coordinated in three dimensions. Following this “virtual construction,” the building was broken down into smaller discrete zones that the MEP/FP trade contractors would “cycle

through” in a sequenced fashion to reduce the overlap of multiple trades trying to access a single work zone.

“Following the installation of all components,” said Antonellis, “the systems were tested and commissioned to ensure interfaces and overall system performance achieve or exceeded project requirements.”

With a year to go, site work crews have started the third phase of the project — a new synthetic athletic field.

“Due to the natural slope of the site, this phase will require the installation of over 1,440 linear feet of cast-in-place concrete retaining wall as tall as 20 feet,” said Antonellis. “A major challenge throughout construction has been that the site is actually shared with a major railway and bridge infrastructure project being completed by the state. The two projects share an entire perimeter boundary, as well as overlapping scopes of work traversing respective property lines controlled by easement agreements between the two abutters, each a separate city or state entity.

“As with any large scale, multi-phased, urban construction project, communication is key,” he said. “This was only furthered by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that required new working and communication protocols to be developed and deployed in real time as regulatory and public health conditions evolved over time.”

The project had more than 320 tradespersons daily just before the onset of the pandemic. Following a restart of construction after a brief regulatory moratorium, the project census dropped slightly to averaging between 250 to 300 tradespersons daily.

Local and regional subcontractors have been hired.

The excavation and demolition generated a large amount of concrete, steel, wood, asbestos, earth and rock.

“All construction waste was removed from the site conventionally to a processing facility that would manage all material sorting and recycling off site,” said Antonellis.

Suffolk is still tabulating the amount of new materials being brought in.  CEG

Town’s Business Should Pick Up Once Bridge Work Begins CROSSING from page 8

downtown area entirely, the community’s public works department will undertake the first stage of a major hot topping project.

Town manager Gary Picard was unsure what effect the ongoing work would have on traffic, saying that representatives from each project would be responsible for managing the flow individually.

“GSA, MaineDOT and their respective contractors will collaborate, coordinate and communicate any significant, planned traffic and travel impacts during construction as necessary,” said Paul Hughes, a spokesperson of the GSA. One thing is sure — with dozens of workers coming into Madawaska for the multiyear projects, the streets will be more full

than usual, something that could spell promise for local businesses.

“That would definitely increase everything from apartment rentals to dining to purchases in the retail stores,” Sharon Boucher, director of the St. John Valley Chamber of Commerce, told the newspaper.

“It would mean a lot for the town.”

Boucher has been assembling a directory

of apartment rentals since a Reed & Reed representative called her earlier in April about bringing local subcontractors in on the bridge work. While the streets are quiet when Boucher leaves work at night now, she sees a bustling Main Street in Madawaska’s future.

“I really think we’re going to have a lively downtown,” she predicted. 
