After a decade of discussions and planning, work is finally under way on the $30 million Route 44 reconstruction project in Hartford, Conn. The project consists of operational, safety, roadway and streetscape improvements along Albany Avenue between Homestead Avenue and Bedford Street. The goal of the project is to improve pedestrian and vehicular safety throughout the corridor, along with streetscape and beautification enhancements. “As stewards of the public trust, it’s our duty to inspect the construction work, approve changes and process payments

so that the project is completed as promised and will last a long time,” said Donald Ward, P.E., assistant district engineer, Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT). The project, which was presented to the public, the city and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) during design development, is 80 percent federal and 20 percent state funded. The design was initiated and overseen by the city, while CTDOT will function as construction manager. Pedestrian safety will be improved by several elements, including more signalized crosswalks and the addition of sidewalk bump-outs which decrease see StrEEtSCAPE page 4

They never missed a day,” Patton said. Ace Equipment has now incorporated drone photography and site-surveys into its design capabilities. As well as giving accurate work areas for processing and stockpiling, the drone surveys are able to calculate stockpile volumes. The drone photography and video services allow an excellent view and recording of troublesome transition areas so the issues can be identified and fixed.

John Patton and the team at Ace Equipment created a custom designed material processing center, that can comfortably fit excavators, loaders, mobile cranes, crushers, impactors and more, all within Hunters Point Recycling’s 30,000 sq. ft. lot.

Ace Equipment’s three-dimensional graphic design allowed it to precisely calculate every measurement prior to assembling the system, so it knew exactly what size machines, parts and materials it could fit into the job site prior to arriving, making the entire process streamlined and efficient from start to finish.

The unique, custom design and engineered tripper car system allowed Ace to build off the side of Hunters Point Recycling’s building, with a vertical design, which allowed them to take up far less space.

This street view of Hunters Point Recycling showcases the small footprint of the location.

Casino Campaign Picks Old Orchard Beach as Potential Site PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Officials behind a campaign to bring a new casino to Maine have picked a campground and mobile home park as a potential site. The Portland Press Herald reports Progress for Maine identified the area in Old Orchard Beach in an economic development study released in September. The political action committee is backing a vote to bring the casino to York County. A spokesman for the campaign downplayed the study, saying the site was only selected as a “base case” scenario to deter-

mine the casino’s potential economic impact. The casino has been projected to bring more than 2,000 jobs and $45 million in annual tax revenue to the area. However, economic experts say the numbers are “rosy projections.” A referendum vote on the casino is scheduled for Nov. 7.

NRI Chamber of Commerce Supports Pawtucket Stadium At a recent meeting of the Board of Directors of the Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber voted unanimously to support the proposal for the Ballpark at Slater Mill. “The Chamber’s Board reviewed the proposal and saw this as excellent economic development for Pawtucket, Northern Rhode Island and the entire state. We believe it is important for us to promote a strong public/private partnership that includes a $45 million investment by the PawSox ownership,” said Ernie Almonte, chair of the NRI Chamber’s Board. John Gregory, president/CEO of the Chamber added, “The $45 million is the largest private investment ever made in Pawtucket. The ownership model is the same, with the city of Pawtucket owning the stadium. The city will lease the stadium to the state and the state will then sub lease it to the Pawtucket Red Sox.” The ancillary development will help to revitalize downtown and become an attractive gateway to Rhode Island. The NRI Chamber also believes that

while there is always risk in this case the risk is minimal. For example, the payment for the bonds issued by the Pawtucket Redevelopment Agency will come from taxes generated by the ballpark. The average annual payment will be $1.4 million, and this payment is well below the existing revenues currently being sent to the state. There also is the safeguard that the Pawtucket Red Sox will pay for any construction cost overruns. The Northern Rhode Island Chamber of Commerce looks forward to the future discussions on this import economic development initiative.

izens and local contractors have been an emphasis on the project. In an effort to provide some guidance on those opportunities, a job fair was held prior to construction, and a 10,000-hour on-the-job training requirement is noted in the contract. Ward said even the city’s youngest residents are getting involved in the project, which has received a lot of exposure since it was first announced. “The Department, along with the director of arts and wellness for Hartford Public Schools, organized a project logo contest involving 7th and 8th graders from three local schools in the area. This was a very proud moment, and the winner’s drawing is now being used on the project’s website. Ward added, “As with every construction project in very early stages, work starts slowly and the anxiety level is high. However, I’m very happy to finally see this project actually being constructed after more than 10 years of discussion and development. The ultimate reward will be to see the wonderful transformation of an older neighborhood into a fabulous welcoming destination.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Schmidt Equipment’s open house attracted many customers from the New England area.

Schmidt Equipment Showcases New Facility at Open House

chmidt Equipment hosted an open house Sept. 14 at its new location in Billerica, Mass. After more than 20 years in its previous location on Republic Road in Billerica, Schmidt had outgrown the facility. Coupled with the addition of the Wirtgen Group product lines, the company needed more space for equipment displays, larger repair facilities and additional parts warehouse space. Business has been growing and Schmidt needed more capacity to better serve its customers throughout eastern Massachusetts and surroundSchmidt Equipment’s new location facility in Billerica, Mass., is more than ing areas. After an extensive long search, triple the capacity of its previous location. Schmidt found an appropriate piece of land in the same industrial park where it had been located and acquired the property in early 2015. The balance of 2015 was devoted to planning, design and town approval processes. Site preparation began in early 2016, with major land clearing and site preparation done by contractor Pitt Guests gathered both inside and out at Schmidt Pipeline of Billerica, which handled Equipment’s open house. the complete job, including cuts and fills, storm water management systems, all excavation, underground utilities and paving. The steel erector installed the approximately 19,000-sq.-ft. building in late 2016, and a number of subcontractors handled the fit up and mechanicals for the 11,000-sq.-ft. service shop area, 4,000-sq.-ft. parts warehouse, and 4,000-sq.-ft. office area. Compared with Schmidt’s previous location, the company has more than tripled its capacity in all areas. With eight oversized shop bays and two 10-ton overhead cranes, an oversized wash bay, and other specialized resources, it is now able to service much larger “production class” excavators, loaders and dozers from John Deere and Hitachi. In addition, its largest Wirtgen milling and recycling machines Schmidt Equipment is a full-line, full-service dealer of easily fit in the service area, along with Vogele pavers and Wirtgen, Hamm, Vogele, John Deere, Morbark, Hitachi, Hamm compaction rollers.
