Innovative Construction Technique Shaves Time Off CTDOT Construction Schedule Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) Commissioner Jim Redeker announced that as a result of innovative construction techniques, CTDOT has been able to shave off three months from the construction schedule for the new, replacement bridge that is being built over the West River along I-95 northbound and southbound, which connects New Haven and West Haven. The bridge carries about 135,000 vehicles

per day.

“Now three months ahead of schedule, the DOT — along with its contractors and construction crews — continue to make progress,” Malloy said. “We all agree that for too many decades, our state did not make the investments needed to ensure we maintained a modernized transportation system.

RIDOT Completes Pawtucket Ave. Bridge Ahead of Schedule The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) has reopened the Pawtucket Avenue Bridge in East Providence approximately five weeks ahead of schedule. The bridge is located between Warren Avenue and Grosvenor Avenue and carries 23,000 vehicles per day on Pawtucket Avenue over the I-195 corridor. It is one of the most heavily traveled bridges in East Providence.

Through close coordination with its contractor, RIDOT’s project management team was able to compress the expected work schedule in all phases. Demolition activities, which required the bridge to be closed and lanes to be reduced and shifted on the highway below, were reduced from four-weekend closures to three. And the installation of the beams for the new bridge — also expected to take place over another set of four RIDOT has reopened the Pawtucket Avenue Bridge in East Providence approximately five weeks ahead of schedule. weekend closures — were done during overnight hours with only Other recommendations proposed and implemented by proposed two-month closure of one lane of I-195 West brief traffic stoppages as each piece was set into place.

Overall, eight full weekend closures were reduced to just the project management team limited the number of lane under the bridge. These decisions improved safety and closures on I-195 and on- and off-ramps. This included a aided the movement of traffic during the most restrictive three. of closures.

towards making a best-in-class transportation system a reality. The growth of our economy depends on these kinds of major upgrades, and our residents deserve nothing less than an efficient, upgraded, and renewed infrastructure that advances progress, mitigates congestion, and creates jobs.”

A unique method of incremental launching of the steel girders is being employed on the project. Rather than erecting the steel one piece at a time during nighttime lane closures, the girders are being assembled in the median and incrementally “pushed” from east to west, along the entire length of the new bridge. This operation was originally scheduled to take 60 days of nighttime lane closures and interference with traffic. With the revised method, all construction will be completed in the current work zone during the daytime, requiring only three days of interference to existing traffic flow.

In addition, by allowing for daytime work activity, this accelerated bridge construction will eliminate a total of 292 nighttime work shifts, greatly reducing the inconvenience to

the traveling public.

“These methods were chosen with the goal of limiting the traveling public’s exposure to construction activities,” James P. Redeker, CTDOT commissioner said. “This project will improve mobility and benefit the region for decades to come.”

An example of innovative methodology utilized by the contractor included the use of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMT) for the demolition of the existing bridge superstructure. Large sections of deck/parapet/steel girders were removed and transported utilizing the SPMT transport units.

Originally scheduled to take 60 days of nighttime lane closures, it was completed in only 10 nights.

Originally scheduled for completed on Dec. 1, 2018, the work is now expected to be completed by Aug. 31, 2018.

Crews on Tight Schedule for Military College Expansion EXPANSION from page 1

and three other structures will be physical manifestations of the strength of Norwich University and its commitment to preparing students to lead and excel in today’s society.

“While the construction work will cause inconveniences such as shifts to pedestrian and vehicle traffic flow, temporary loss of parking spaces, etc., students, faculty and staff are excited about the planned improvements.”

Dick Terk, Engelberth Construction vice president and project manager, said the logistics of providing a safe construction site for students, faculty, pedestrians and construction employees have been a major concern.

“The location of the building presents access challenges, along with excavation into the bank utilizing soil stabilization and the use of sheet piling to hold back the earth at Memorial Drive, while replacing the utilities in Memorial Drive. When the base excavation is complete, we will need to primarily build the building from the north side with concrete pumps and cranes located on the north side to erect the structural steel. We also will have to build roadways around the building to enable us to frame the exterior walls and be able to provide access for a hydro mobile scaffolding system to install the brick and stone façade.

“Because of the timing of getting the building pad constructed, most of the structural systems and exterior will be done in late fall and winter. The roof is scheduled to be installed in January. We changed the type of roofing to enable it to go on during the winter months. Major milestones include completing the soil stabilization by the beginning of August, which allows concrete to be placed. Starting structural steel at the end of October and completing in late December is critical. We will start interior framing and MEP rough-ins at the lower level in late December, and continue from lower levels to upper levels through March.

Said Terk, “Finishes will follow interior framing from bottom to top. It’s critical that we’re on schedule in May of 2018, because that’s when we start Webb, and Mack must be ready to occupy in August of 2018 to house the activities from Webb for the fall semester.

“The new Dole Auditorium is a challenge due to the access to the ceiling area, because of the steps as well as the coordination of all the trades to create the space including mechanical, electrical, special finishes, acoustics and audio/visual systems. This requires complete coordination of all trades, as well as all trades working very closely together.”

As far as building interactive classrooms,

high-tech features and cyber-security, “The biggest concern is making sure everything is coordinated, including conduit runs, tie-ins,

testing and time for learning the new systems by the users.”

Doug Marek, Engelberth site project

A $48.5 million dollar construction effort at the nation’s oldest private military college is under way in Northfield, Vt.

The most time-consuming part of the work will involve concrete foundations and structural steel, which will take four months.

The site work project requires offsite removal of roughly 25,000 cu. yds. of existing soil.

manager noted, “The project is and has been very challenging from the very beginning, and the primary reason is that all the existing utilities servicing the surrounding buildings must be kept in service while the proposed utilities are being built. This is no easy task, considering all the existing utilities including sewer, water, storm, steam, electrical and communications must be crossed with the proposed utilities, and all this work must be completed between May 15 and midAugust. To accomplish all this work crew loading was required and every day six to eight separate utility crews are working simultaneously within a three-acre site.

“In addition, the proposed Mack building requires sheeting and rammed aggregate piers to be installed prior to the start of foundation construction in August. During the preconstruction process, all the major conflicts and milestones were identified and scheduled. We took a very proactive and detailed approach to this and, so far, we are happy to report we’re on schedule.”

The site work project requires offsite removal of roughly 25,000 cu. yds. of existing soil, and an import of 16,000 cu. yds. of processed crushed gravel, stone and sand.

Some of the main materials that will be used include Redimix concrete, structural steel, metal studs and drywall, roofing materials, brick, stone, glass curtainwall systems, thousands of feet of wiring, electrical gear and panels, pipe including PVC, copper, cast iron and steel, heating systems equipment, flooring of all types and numerous other finish materials.

Equipment used during construction will include lulls, man lifts, cranes, concrete pumps, hydro-mobile portable staging and scaffolding, as well as multiple large and small excavators, loaders, rollers, dump trucks, compaction equipment, drilling equipment, pipe lasers, water truck, road sweepers and concrete trucks.

Terk said weather is always a concern, but seldom prevents crews from working.

“Wind and thunderstorms can be problematic for steel erection, and hopefully we have a normal or better than normal winter.

One distinct advantage is the soil type, which is sand, so we don’t have as great an issue with mud as we do on other sites.”

The most time-consuming part of the work will involve concrete foundations and structural steel, which will take four months, while drywall through finishes will take approximately five months.

“This project is unique in that the building foundation cannot start until all the proposed utilities are complete, then the existing utilities can be removed from the proposed Mack foundation footprint and see EXPANSION page 14

South Coast Improvement Promotes Henry Quinlan to Chief Operating Officer South Coast Improvement Company (SCI), a design-build general contractor serving New England and the Mid-Atlantic states, recently promoted Henry Quinlan to chief operating officer.

In his new role at South Coast Improvement, Quinlan will be responsible for oversight of all project managers and site superintendents at all South Coast Improvement projects. This includes devising and implementing work flow systems to ensure smooth co-existence of construction work and day-to-day activities at the project site.

“Henry’s job is critical to the success of our projects. We call him chief operations officer but what he really is a teacher for our junior site superintendents and project managers,” said Tom Quinlan, president of South Coast Improvement Inc. “By example, he teaches how to create a high level of service to our clients and then repeat that formula for the next project and client. Being

able to repeat that formula is how we have been able to get to a point where 85 percent of our business is repeat business.”

Quinlan began with South Coast Improvement in 2000.

“Managing a construction team has a lot of parallels to the construction world. Both require a certain level of individual talent but ultimately it depends how well you can perform together as a team,” said Quinlan. “In my career here at SCI, I’ve been lucky in that I’ve been able to channel my coaching instincts to help create construction crews that consistently deliver a superior experience for our clients.”

Based in Marion, Mass., and with an office in Reading, Pa., South Coast Improvement Co. provides building and renovation services to a client base of senior living, healthcare, institutional and retail clients.
