Native American Fort, Artifacts Found at Norwalk, Conn., Construction Site NORWALK, Conn. (AP) The remnants of a centuries-old Native American fort and several thousand artifacts have been found at a railroad bridge construction site in Connecticut. State Department of Transportation officials on Aug. 9 announced the fort and artifacts, some believed to be more than 3,000 years old, were discovered in Norwalk around the 122-year-old Walk

Bridge, a commuter rail span that is scheduled to be replaced. They were found during a planned archaeological survey. Experts believe the fort was used for trade between Native Americans and Dutch settlers sometime between 1615 and 1640. They say the fort is on top of a 3,000-year-old Native American site.

No evidence of human remains was found. Officials said the site of the fort will be removed, but all the artifacts will be preserved and analyzed. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Amgen Breaks Ground on Biomanufacturing Plant in R.I. Amgen announced the groundbreaking of its new nextgeneration biomanufacturing plant that will be constructed at its West Greenwich, R.I., campus on July 31. The new plant is the first-of-its-kind in the United States and will use Amgen’s next-generation biomanufacturing capabilities to manufacture products for the United States and global markets. “Biologics manufacturing is a complex science and has long been a competitive advantage for Amgen,” said Robert A. Bradway, chairman and chief executive officer of Amgen. “We are working to extend that advantage even further with a next-generation biomanufacturing plant in Rhode Island that will produce medicines to serve patients around the world suffering from serious illnesses.” A next-generation biomanufacturing plant incorporates multiple innovative technologies into a single facility, and therefore is built in half the construction time with approximately one half of the operating cost of a traditional plant. Next-generation biomanufacturing plants require a smaller manufacturing footprint and offer greater environmental benefits, including reduced consumption of water and energy and lower levels of carbon emissions. Within the plant, the equipment is portable, smaller and some components are disposable, which provides greater flexibility and speed when manufacturing different medicines simultaneously. This eliminates costly and complex retrofitting inherent in standard facilities and allows Amgen to respond to changing demands for its medicines with increased agility, ultimately impacting the speed at which a medicine is available for patients.

for economic development opportunities with global companies thanks to our highly-skilled workforce, robust academic institutions and exceptional quality of life. Rhode Island is proud to support Amgen in its commitment to developing innovative medicines.” Amgen expects to invest up to $200 million in the approximately 120,000 sq. ft. next-generation manufacturing plant in Rhode Island. This plant is anticipated to create approximately 150 additional highly-skilled manufacturing positions. “Since its inception in 2002, Amgen Rhode Island has evolved to a multi-product manufacturing facility, which is a testament to our focus on innovation, technology and great staff,” said Tia Bush, vice president of Operations of Amgen Rhode Island. “Constructing this next-generation plant in Rhode Island further enhances our manufacturing capabilities within Amgen’s global operations network to deliver on our mission to serve patients.” The existing Amgen Rhode Island plant was licensed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2005 and houses one of the world’s largest mammalian protein manufacturing facilities. The facility manufactures commercial and clinical bulk drug substance. Amgen has invested more than $1.5 billion in its Rhode Island campus, adding more than 500,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing, utility, administrative and laboratory space to the campus. There are approximately 625 full-time staff members employed at the Amgen Rhode Island campus. Amgen Rhode Island has been awarded by the Providence Business News as one of Rhode Island’s Best Places to Work more than eleven times since 2007. Since 2004, the Amgen Foundation has committed over $4.8 million to support science education and community programs in Rhode Island. For more information, visit amgen.com.

Middlebury Breaks Ground on New Interim Academic Space Middlebury College photo

Middlebury has broken ground on a building that will provide a new home for its burgeoning Computer Science Department as well as temporary office space for faculty and staff who will be relocated during a series of building renovations. Naylor and Breen Builders of Brandon, Vt., are constructing the building on a lot just east of Johnson Memorial Building. It will be completed in June 2019. One floor of the 24,000 sq.-ft. building will be dedicated to computer science, containing classrooms, faculty offices, research labs, lounges and study space. It will closely approximate the department’s current space on the sixth floor of McCardell Bicentennial Hall (MBH). “We are currently at 100 percent occupancy in MBH,” said Tom McGinn, project manager of Middlebury. “Student enrollments in the MBH-based majors and programs have seen a large increase over the last decade with a concurrent increase in faculty to keep pace with the rise in enrollments.” The vacated space in MBH will allow other MBH departments to expand in order to meet the growing space pressure, McGinn said. The other floor of the new building will house 43 faculty and staff members who currently occupy

Munroe Hall, a building that will undergo a substantial renovation from June 2019 through June 2020. Munroe houses the Departments of Religion, Sociology/Anthropology, and Political Science. A major renovation of Warner Hall will follow from June 2020 through June 2021. Additional renovations planned for beyond 2021 include

Johnson Memorial Building and Adirondack House. McGinn said that Middlebury’s Academic Space Committee, a group composed of faculty, Facilities Services, and the Provost’s Office, has explored many options to accommodate growth following the opening of the last academic building — the Axinn Center — in 2008.

“The committee explored and analyzed many alternatives in an effort to create/find new academic space,” said McGinn. “A new building, acquisition of off-campus property, truly temporary spaces [i.e., modular offices/classrooms] conversion of existing on-campus buildings to academic uses, enrollment limits were all explored in great depth and considerable

detail.” Designed by McLeod Kredell Architects (MKA) of Middlebury, the building uses a pre-engineered metal building system, which keeps the cost down and provides greater flexibility both for configuring the inside and disassembling it to move or recycle in the future if the College chooses to. The new construction will cost $4.5 million. “The design uses the steel structure to create welcoming, columnfree entry porticos and open, flexible spaces at the interior,” said architect and faculty member John McLeod. “Different metal siding profiles and colors add shadows, texture, and visual interest to the exterior. And a playful mix of window sizes and configurations both animate the exterior and bring generous daylight to the interior, regardless of how the floor layouts may change over time.” McLeod said the new building is likely to be a welcome addition on campus. “It will offer the campus community much needed flex space — whose potential uses are varied and almost endless — in the form of a progressive architectural design that resonates with its surroundings.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Army Corps of Engineers’ Project AGC of Mass. Gifts Will Deepen, Improve Boston Harbor $100K to UMass for BCT Endowment HARBOR from page 1

receipt and shipment of other petroleum products; and the export of iron and steel scrap. The initial work in the Boston Harbor began shortly after the Civil War, according to the Corps. The most recent improvement work was completed in May 1966. The current project includes the harbor proper and four access channels: the Chelsea River, the Fort Point Channel, the South Boston Reserved Channel, and the Weir River at Nantasket Beach. The Corps describes the project in detail below:

The Harbor Proper Work by the Corps in the harbor proper consists of: • A 6-mi.-long, 40-ft.-deep main channel extending from Massachusetts Bay, through Broad Sound, to the entrance of Mystic and Chelsea Rivers. The channel is 900 to 1,100 ft. wide from the sea, through Broad Sound, to President Roads, and 600 ft. wide from President Roads to the entrance of Mystic and Chelsea rivers. • A 35-ft.-deep channel that runs parallel to, and on the northerly side of, the main 40-ft.-deep channel. The 35-ft.deep channel is 600 ft. wide and extends from the sea, through Broad Sound, to a point opposite the fish pier. • A 2-mi.-long, 35-ft.-deep channel that extends from an area abreast of Fort Point Channel to a point almost one mile past the Chelsea Street Bridge. The channel, which has widths varying from 100 to 1,000 ft., starts in the harbor in front of Fort Point Channel and adjacent to the 40-ft.-deep channel. It extends down the harbor parallel to the 40-ft. channel, past the Mystic River Bridge, except the portion in front of the former Charlestown Navy Yard which was de-authorized by Congress in 1992, and ends at the General Andrew P. McArdle Bridge at the entrance to the Chelsea River. The channel also splits at the Navy Yard and goes down the Charles River before ending at the Charlestown Bridge. • A 2-mi.-long channel 30 ft. deep and 1,200 ft. wide from the sea through Broad Sound to President Roads. This channel is situated south of the 35 and Approximately 40-ft.-deep Broad Sound channels. 11.7 million cu. • A 3-mi.-long channel 27 ft. deep yds. of silt, blue and 1,000 ft. wide extending from clay, till and Nantasket Roads through the Narrows weathered rock to President Roads. will be dredged • A 550-ft.-long stub channel, 15 ft. to improve the deep and 300 ft. wide, located at the harbor. northeast head of Long Island in the vicinity of Nix’s Mate Shoal. • An approach channel (not originally built by the Corps) to the former U.S. Navy Drydock Number 3 in South Boston that was deepened to 40 ft. • A 40-ft.-deep anchorage along the northern limit of President Roads. The anchorage, 350 acres in area, measures 6,200 ft. east to west and 2,500 ft. north to south. • A 35-ft.-deep area lying west of the anchorage. • Stone seawalls that protect the harbor’s exposed headlands and islands.

Chelsea River Channel The percentage of traffic passing through the Chelsea River has been increasing over the past several years. A recent study indicated that 46 percent of the traffic in Boston Harbor utilized the Chelsea River. The Corps’ work on the Chelsea River includes a main ship channel 1.8 mi. long extending from the Gen. Andrew P. McArdle Bridge to the end of the Chelsea River. From the McArdle Bridge to the Chelsea Street Bridge, the channel is 35 ft. deep and approximately 225-250 ft. wide. From the Chelsea Street Bridge to a point near the river’s end, the channel is 250-430 ft. wide. At the end of the channel there is a turning and maneuvering basin 35 ft. deep and approximately 800 ft. wide and 1,000 ft. long.

Fort Point Channel The Fort Point Channel extends from Boston Harbor to the Northern Avenue Bridge in South Boston, a distance of about 1,000 ft. It is 23 ft. deep and 175 ft. wide. South Boston Reserved Channel The Reserved Channel extends from the 40-ft.-deep channel in Boston Harbor to the L Street Bridge in South Boston, a distance of about 5,400 ft. It is 35 ft. deep and 430 ft. wide The Weir River at Nantasket Beach The 1.7-mi.-long channel in the Weir River, 12 ft. deep and 150 ft. wide, provides access to the Nantasket Beach terminal in Hull. The channel extends from Sunset Point on Nantasket Beach, through the Weir River, to Nantasket Pier.

Steel Plant Partners With Cog Railway for Winter Work BERLIN, N.H. (AP) A 50,000-sq.-ft. steel plant has partnered with the Mount Washington Cog Railway to be used as a winter shop for maintenance and construction of locomotives and passenger coaches. The Isaacson Steel fabrication plant in Berlin was acquired by David Presby at an auction several years ago. His brother, Wayne Presby, is president of the Cog Railway and was exploring the idea of replacing or expanding its workshops at the base of Mount Washington. The Cog Railway is starting to redo the entire line from the base to the summit. Presby Steel will be making tie plates and supplying steel for a new work car with lights, heat, a crane, tools, welders and generators. Wayne Presby said work will now be done on the rail line all winter. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
