Everett Turnpike Widening Project Continues in N.H.

By Ken Liebeskind CEG CORRESPONDENT

After the New Hampshire Executive Council approved an expenditure of $20.5 million for a road widening project for the Everett Turnpike in April, one element of the project was completed and the next one started.

Construction crews removed and repainted lanes to allow for traffic pattern changes in June and on July 7 crews began blasting rock in the northbound lanes to allow for the future addition of a through travel lane.

The blasting requires road closures that will continue for a few months.

“Behind me, there are black blasting mats, which we put over the shot to minimize how much rock flies,” said Greg Tedeschi, NHDOT Construction Bureau contract administrator. “Once detonators are wired and set, the crews clear back 500-600 feet and the road is closed for explosion.”

During the blasting, workers drill holes and drop in explosives that bring the roadway to a complete standstill for five to 20 minutes for each blast.

The blasting will remove 55,000 yds. of ledge and is the first part of a four phase project that will work on the southbound lane of the highway next.

Widening will take place on the northern and southern segments of the Everett Turnpike. The northern segment begins approximately 0.6 mi. south of the U.S. Route 3 overpass bridge and runs northerly for approximately 1.3 mi., ending at the southbound off ramp to NH Route 101 and the northbound on ramp from NH Route 101 within the I-293 interchange. The southern segment of the Everett Turnpike widening project begins approximately 2,000 ft. north of the Exit 8 overpass bridge in Nashua and runs northerly for approximately 1.5 mi., ending approximately 1,000 ft. south of the Exit 10 overpass bridge in Merrimack.

AJ Coleman & Son of Conway, N.H., is the general contractor for the project, which is scheduled for completion in the summer of 2024.

The project also will include rebuilding of two bridges over Pennichuck Brook in Nashua and Merrimack.

New Pawtucket Projects to Include Pro Soccer Stadium A sea of white hardhats and neon vests could be seen Aug. 12 at the groundbreaking ceremony for Pawtucket, R.I.’s new Tidewater Landing soccer stadium and mixed-use development — a project to be partly funded by local taxpayers through a $36 million bond.

The riverfront soccer-specific stadium will be home to the United Soccer League’s (USL) 2024 expansion club in Pawtucket, according to SportBusiness, a London-based news site. It added that the 10,500-seat stadium, on the banks of the Seekonk River, is projected to be complete in the spring of 2024.

In addition, the Rhode Island arena is one of 16 socceronly stadium projects across the USL as well as one of five current construction projects in the league’s Championship and League One divisions, reported SportBusiness.

While the hallmark of the Tidewater Landing project will be the soccer venue, the plan also calls for 500 apartments in a mix of one- to three-bedroom units, and commercial spaces.

Its developer, Fortuitous Partners in New York, projects the stadium construction to cost $124 million, a price tag driven up $40 million since last year by inflation, supply chain issues and rising construction costs.

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee, speaking at the event, said the Pawtucket project is one of many private efforts the state supports, and is part of its desire to build new infrastructure in the city, like the commuter rail line connecting to Boston.

“This project is about jobs and helping a city that was left behind,” he added.

The new professional stadium in Pawtucket would sit on the west bank of Seekonk River, just south of the town’s center.

The stadium site, with the field markers already laid out in white on a black surface, is a brownfield that used to be home to National Grid’s oil tanks and is currently being remediated by the company.

Four Conn. Cities to Receive $41.6M in RAISE Grants Federal transportation officials announced Aug. 11 that $2.2 billion will be awarded for local infrastructure projects nationwide, including nearly $41.6 million for four cities in Connecticut.

The federal funds, from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program, are part of last year’s passage of an overall $1 trillion infrastructure package by Congress and signed into law by President Biden.

RAISE grants from the deal pave the way for new bridges, roads, bike lanes, railways and ports in scores of communities across the country.

In Connecticut, $23 million will go to Waterbury, $16.3 million will go toward designing and constructing two connected trails in Plainville and New Britain, and Stamford is set to receive $2.1 million, according to WVIT-TV NBC Connecticut.

Trail to the CTfastrak trail in New Britain.

The Capitol Region Council of Governments applied for the funding, and information released by USDOT said a separated bicycle/pedestrian trail will address a known safety issue after 54 collisions were recorded in the area within the last five years.

New Trails in New Britain, Plainville The first path to be built will fill the last major gap in the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail, according to USDOT. The second will connect the Farmington Canal Heritage

ÂComplete StreetÊ to Be Designed in Stamford New Britain-based WVIT-TV reported a RAISE grant totaling $2.1 million was awarded to Stamford after the city applied for funds to design and engineer a

Three Waterbury Projects to Be Funded In addition, the city of Waterbury applied for funding and will receive $23.1 million.

The money is earmarked for the construction of Phase II of the town’s section of the 2.3-mi.-long Naugatuck River Greenway Trail. Part of the monies will also go toward West Main Street renovation and streetscaping improvements, and electrical vehicle charging stations at the Downtown Waterbury Train Station.

“Complete Street” on a little over one mile of the West Main Street corridor. The idea is to improve safety at nine intersections along the roadway by adding more visible crosswalks and shorter crossing distances, an area that has seen 480 collisions with 101 injuries over a four-year period.

USDOT said in a statement that the project also includes adding sidewalks, bus boarding islands and separated bike lanes or shared use of a travel lane.

On the federal agency’s website, USDOT also noted that the Stamford project aims to address severe safety issues in an area with substantial minority populations that rely heavily on walking, biking, or public transit to commute to work.

Grants Worth More, But Inflation Takes Its Cut The competitive RAISE grants this year are more than double the amount awarded the previous year under the same program.

A total of 166 projects across the country are getting a slice of the $2.2 billion, a significant increase from the $983 million distributed among 90 projects in 2021.

The 2021 passage of the infrastructure

bill led to the 2022 influx of money into the RAISE grant program, totaling an added $7.5 billion over five years.

Though substantial, the new money does not have quite the buying power as anticipated when the infrastructure legislation passed Congress last year. Inflation has driven up the cost of key transportation construction materials; for instance, steel plates for bridges and asphalt for paving roads.

Still, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the funded projects would help modernize America’s transportation systems.

“This is a program that recognizes many of the most interesting and compelling ideas and designs and plans aren’t going to come from Washington, but more of the funding should,” he explained. “That’s what we’re delivering here.”

For many road improvement grants, Buttigieg added, “we’re doing it in mind of also benefitting the bike and pedestrian side.”

USDOT received approximately $13 billion in RAISE grant applications, he announced. 

Stephen King Makes Donation for Maine Hospital Expansion The construction of a new pediatric wing at a Maine psychiatric hospital could get a $2 million boost from a funding package that is currently making its way through Congress.

The Bangor Daily News reported Aug. 2 that the money would help pay for the ongoing expansion at Northern Light Acadia Hospital, estimated to cost $49 million.

The project will add 50 single-occupancy rooms with pediatric beds and convert all the hospital’s double-occupancy rooms to single-occupancy rooms.

That change would allow Acadia — one of Maine’s two private psychiatric hospitals — to use all 100 of its beds at the same time, addressing a growing need for psychiatric care that has become more apparent during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Daily News.

The $2 million is part of a draft funding bill for the coming federal fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1, noted the office of Maine Sen. Susan Collins, a senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.

The U.S. House and Senate still need to vote on the funding.

Stephen King Donation Gives Hospital Boost The announcement came on the heels of a $1 million donation by horror author (and Maine resident) Stephen King and his wife Tabitha’s foundation in July to support the work at Acadia Hospital.

“A donation [of] this magnitude is quite spectacular to help us with our financial goal, but more importantly, to me, it was validation that this project matters in the community,” said Scott Oxley, senior vice president of Northern Light Health (NLH) and president of Acadia Hospital.

With the donation, the hospital plans to construct a new pediatric wing, expand geriatric care and research, and strengthen the hospital’s workforce.

But the Daily News learned that NLH, the facility’s parent organization, still has a way to go before it can reach its overall fundraising goal for the project’s construction.

Some $10 million of Northern Light’s $15 million “Acadia for All” campaign will sup-

port the new pediatric wing’s construction, the newspaper noted. With the King’s help, the agency had secured about $1.4 million toward that goal as of July 29, according to Christina Caron, director of philanthropy, marketing, and communications for Northern Light.

Despite not yet having secured all the needed funds, Acadia Hospital broke ground on the new two-story facility on its existing Stillwater Avenue campus in April.

Construction is expected to be finished in December 2023 and open to patients in January 2024, said Northern Light spokesperson Karen Cashman.

Until then, the hospital has remained fully operational and able to serve the community during the work.

Expansion to Include More Psychiatric Bed Space Though Acadia Hospital is licensed for 100 beds, Northern Light has said it cannot use all of them because it is unsafe to place that many patients together in the same room. Now, with the expansion, the hospital

will have more flexibility in providing better safety for patients while continuing to expand the number of psychiatric beds in Maine.

Oxley told the Bangor news source in April that the state had only 330 beds for those who need psychiatric care — spaces that tend to fill quickly — leading to a backlog of people waiting in hospital emergency rooms to get the care they need.

He added that the hospital’s capital campaign was created after officials realized the lack of behavioral and mental health services in the state.

“We recognized that a great light has been shined upon mental health services and the importance to do more in the community,” Oxley said.

In 2021, there were 30 patients waiting for psychiatric care in Maine’s emergency rooms on average each day, according to Kara Hay, chairperson of the Northern Light Acadia Hospital Board of Trustees. That number rose to about 50 patients in the first quarter of 2022, she said. 

Equipment Investment More Than Doubles Production

On the left is thickened sludge that has settled to the bottom of the tank and will be pumped out for disposal. On the right is completely clarified water, which will be re-used in Melone’s aggregate plant’s washing process. The vast majority of water that enters the system is clarified and re-used, leaving behind only a thick sludge for disposal.

MELONE from page 1

working closely with EESSCO, Melone invested in a New 4’ x 10’ double deck screen.

These investments were very successful for Melone — its overall aggregate production more than doubled, its labor costs dramatically eased and down time was reduced.

According to Peter and John Melone, over the years they have developed a great working relationship with Salafia, Vining and all of the staff at EESSCO, and have relied heavily on their expertise as they have expanded and grown their operation.

In 2018, J. Melone & Sons faced a new challenge that potentially significantly changed the way that it did business: the disposal of the sludge by-product from the manufacturing of the sand for its ready-mix operation needed to change dramatically.

When sand is manufactured, there is a very fine end-product that has no useful purpose. To dispose of it, it is mixed with water and traditionally stored in slurry ponds.

There is nothing toxic or inherently dangerous about the ponds themselves, but they can become quite large — in the case of Melone’s about the size of two football fields. In these slurry ponds, over a consider-

Working with the staff of EESSCO, the engineers and support teams at Phoenix Process Equipment, the infrastructure was built, and the Phoenix AltaFlo put in place.

conversation started with EESSCO to see what alternatives could be explored.

There are some inherent problems with traditional slurry ponds, one being their size, quite often more than several acres; and two, their consistency. Traditional methods for creating the slurry mix creates a very watery product. In the case of Melone, 1,000 gal. of water would contain about 2 percent solid waste. So, in other words, within 1,000 gal. of water only 2 percent of that mass of water would actually be disposing of the product you are trying to get rid of. This fundamentally creates the problem with the size of the slurry pond.

Working with one of the manufacturers that EESSCO represents, a solution to this challenge was identified — the Phoenix AltaFlo thickener.

J. Melone & Sons Dramatically Reduces Slurry Pond Size

water that can be recycled and reused in the process.

Essentially what this very complicated scientific explanation of the Phoenix AltaFlo thickener means is that this new advanced process dramatically changes the consistency of the sludge by-product that J. Melone & Sons would make.

What was 1,000 gal. of water with a 2 percent solid waste content being produced every minute could be changed to 60 gal. of water with a 40 percent solid waste content being produced per minute.

Instead of needing multiple acres of a very fluid pond that gradually allows the solid content to settle to the bottom, users are now working with a very thick, nearly mud-like product, that takes up very little volume, is much easier to Very thick, heavy sludge is being discharged into a small 60- by 80-ft. pond.

contain and requires very little space.

In Melone’s case, this would make the difference of going from a slurry pond of several acres to one that would measure 60- by 80-ft; a remarkable and manageable difference. Just as important, it would reduce water consumption by as much as 800,000 gal. a day.

According to Peter Melone, “Being forced to purchase our aggregate and being unable to produce it ourselves had us over a barrel and we had to do something. The solution being offered to us by EESSCO seemed to be about the only alternative. Between that situation and at the same time COVID putting a choke hold on our operation, we were really going through a difficult time.

“We traveled with EESSCO to Georgia to look at an operation that was using this system and we were amazed at what we saw.

Essentially the Phoenix system was clarifying the water that’s being used in the process and thickening the slurry that comes out of our wash plants. So, the dirty water that enters the system becomes quickly clarified

and the suspended dirt particles coagulate and settle to the bottom of the tank creating a very thick sludge. We are then able to remove the thick sludge from the bottom of the tank and pump it off for disposal. It would be a significant investment, but an investment that we could not afford to ignore.”

Working with the staff of EESSCO, the engineers and support teams at Phoenix Process Equipment, the infrastructure was built, and the Phoenix AltaFlo put in place.

The results it met everyone’s expectations: water consumption for the facility dropped by hundreds of thousands of gallons a day.

Water was no longer added to Melone’s slurry ponds, and the need to maintain and excavate them was eliminated. The new disposal area is easy to maintain, assuring a safer environment for all of Melone’s customers.

According to John Melone, “Once again the EESSCO team really came through for us and the products from Phoenix have put our operation back on track.”  (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2022 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)
