From the mountains to the highways. That’s the path Achilles Bellucci and Allan Beck’s company took on its way to becoming exclusive bridge constructors.

In 1947, friends Bellucci and Beck teamed up to build some of the country’s first ski lifts. Shortly thereafter, the pair shifted gears to focus on bridge construction.

Today, the company, which was purchased and incorporated in 1979 by current owner David Hurst, is focused exclusively on bridge construction and is a prequalified bidder in the states of New Hampshire and Vermont. Headquartered in Franklin, N.H., Beck & Bellucci employs between 20 and 70 workers, depending on the season.

Nearly all of Beck & Bellucci’s bridge work is done for state highway authorities and townships. Currently the company is involved in four projects: 1. The construction of a replacement bridge for Route 2 over I-89 in Middlesex, Vt; 2. The rehabilitation of two bridges on I-93 in Tilton, N.H.; 3. The rehabilitation of two bridges on I-89 in Lebanon, N.H.; and 4. The rehabilitation of seven bridges on I-393 in Concord, N.H. see BRIDGES page 14

One of New England’s Oldest Construction Companies Still Going Strong in Boston The northeast is known for its hard rock conditions and Boston is no exception.

McCourt Construction Company, headquartered in Boston, has been building America since 1893. This 120year-old construction firm, which has been intricately involved in the growth of eastern Massachusetts as well as projects around the world, has a unique advantage: as one of the oldest construction firms in New England, there is almost no situation that it has not seen and dealt with.

McCourt prides itself in the expertise that its leadership team, which has an average tenure of 27 years, brings to the table.

Jobs that McCourt Construction is involved in this year see MCCOURT page 6

McCourt Construction recently purchased a Soosan SB130 8,500 ft. lb. hammer for its Volvo 305 excavator.

Empire Crane Company representative Justin Melvin has sold a 2017 Tadano Mantis GTC1200 to ACK Marine & General Contracting LLC in Quincy, Mass.

“We chose the 2017 Tadano Mantis GTC1200 because it fits the niche that we work in,” Vice President and Chief Estimator John McNulty said.

ACK Marine is often working on barges and many of its upcoming jobs are bridge or demolition work, which requires cranes to be working in low clearance areas.

“The GTC1200 doesn’t require you to break down, the boom easily retracts and can get into tight areas.”

The GTC1200 is a 130-ton (118 t) crane and has the strongest barge chart of all hydraulic boom crawler cranes.

With the 2.5-degree barge load chart, it is a strong crane on land and on a barge, according to the manufacturer.

ACK Marine does a lot of work for Mass Port, which has very strict height restrictions near air ports.

“This crane has the versatility so I don’t have to worry about exceeding height restrictions with the crane setup,” McNulty said.

McNulty was impressed with the durability and capability of Tadano Mantis products. The crane’s first job will be a land based bridge job where two GTC1200’s will be working together.

ACK Marine & General Contracting specializes in marine construction, barge, tugs and equipment rentals. It also provides marine transportation, heavy equipment transportation and project cargo servicing international and domestic inland and offshore waterways. ACK is a Nationally Certified Women Owned Business.

are complicated by the excavation of very hard rock. Nearly all materials at the site need to be broken using hydraulic hammers and rippers.

James Hall, the McCourt Construction equipment manager, with some encouragement from Carlos Monte, equipment supervisor, made the decision to purchase new hydraulic hammers for their Volvo 305 excavator and their Komatsu PC138 — the Volvo 305 was outfitted with a Soosan SB130

8,500 ft. lb. hammer and the Komatsu PC138 was equipped with a Soosan SB60 3,000 ft. lb. hammer. In each case, the excavators were equipped with a quick coupling system.

“We purchased these hammers through David Serra at D & D Equipment Repair.

We did our due diligence and we felt that the Soosan hammers would give us the best bang for our buck,” Hall said. “We did price comparisons and the Soosan offered see MCCOURT page 8

a pricing advantage, but the biggest advantage was that David Serra came with the hammers. D & D Equipment Repair and David have been doing field service repairs on our fleet for the last six years and he has delivered on time reliable support in parts of Boston that are nearly impossible to get to every time.”

D & D Equipment Repair is now the Soosan hammer sales and service representative of eastern Massachusetts. “I started this business realizing that contractors were keeping machines in their fleet longer than ever before and a large demand for reliable, independent, onsite service and repair was growing in the Boston area,” Serra said.

“I have been rebuilding hammers for a very long time and am familiar with the various types and designs of hammers that are on the market. I am very impressed with the Soosan hammers and feel confident that it is a hammer that I can recommend to my customer base. The hammers are shock mounted in a case that provides stronger shock absorption, which extends the life of the hammer and reduces operating noise, which

is particularly important when working in a confined space.”

McCourt Construction’s Monte has been satisfied with the Soosan performance.

“At times we run these hammers around the clock and they have completely lived up to our expectations. We knew that David would be capable of supporting these hammers and a testament as to how well these hammers are built is the fact that under extreme conditions they have maintained a reliable track record.”

McCourt Construction has a massive fleet of construction equipment, most of which it owns, and is made up from a representation of a wide variety of manufacturers, including Caterpillar, Volvo and Komatsu.

Tight Timeframe, Work Site Among Challenges of Vt. Job

Dale Sackett, vice president of Beck & Bellucci, oversees the construction at all of Beck & Bellucci’s bridge sites.

Route 2 as it meanders through Middlesex, Vt., offers magnificent views of the mountainous Vermont countryside.

BRIDGES from page 1

Middlesex U.S. 2 (Bridge 55) Located approximately 2 mi. east of the intersection of U.S. 2 and VT 100B, the 660ft. long, 35-ft. wide, nine-span bridge is in poor condition. It will be replaced by a wider (40 ft.) but shorter (512 ft.) three-span bridge. The new bridge is being built adjacent to the existing steel girder bridge, which will be taken down upon the completion of the new bridge.

This $9.5 million project began in August 2016 and has an estimated completion date of June 2019. Beck & Bellucci is the general contractor of the project and the project authority is the Vermont AOT (Agency of Transportation).

“There are substantial differences between the construction of the old bridge

and the new bridge, which speaks volumes on the evolution of bridge construction,” said Dale Sackett, vice president of Beck & Bellucci. “The old bridge had eight piers, where there are only two piers and two abutments on the new bridge that are completely constructed in concrete. The old bridge was constructed out of I-beam steel and the new bridge from curved plate girders.

“Our single biggest challenge on this project is that we have an extremely small footprint to work within. This bridge crosses not only I-89, but it also crosses the Vermont Central Railroad and is bordered by wetlands.”

Due to traffic on I-89 and the Vermont Central Railroad’s train schedule, Beck & Bellucci has to work around very limited work windows. Whenever it is doing steel

The Link-Belt ATC 3210 210-ton all-terrain crane offers strong lifting power and easy mobility from one end of the project to the other and over the road transportation to the next bridge project.

The Vermont Central Railroad passes directly through the project, which further confines the amount of space that equipment can be set up in and also requires that the project be shut down for each passing train.

setting, one lane of I-89 has to be shut down. To accommodate motorists, the company was only allowed to work between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. setting steel.

“We are also not allowed to interfere in any way with train traffic,” Sackett said. “Anytime a train is in the vicinity we, again, cannot set steel. The railway has their own flagman, who is on the site at all times to alert us to approaching trains.”

Another challenge to the project is greater than anticipated uneven bedrock beneath the ground surface, which has made the driving of H piles extremely challenging, according to Sackett.

“We were given rough estimates of where the bedrock lies and how it runs, but it has turned out to be wildly erratic, which means if we underestimate the depth of the bedrock we have to splice H-pile extensions in order to complete the pile driving.” see BRIDGES page 18

The other challenge on this project is the existing wetlands that border the project.

This is primarily a challenge from the standpoint that it extremely limits the footprint of where Beck & Bellucci can work, Sackett said.

Link-Belt and Woods CRW The biggest investment that a bridge builder has in its equipment fleet is its cranes, and Beck & Bellucci’s entire fleet is made up of Link-Belt cranes, which were purchased from Woods CRW Corp. On this particular project six Link-Belt cranes are being utilized: • Link-Belt 235 H5 150-ton crawler crane • Link-Belt RTC 80110 110-ton rough-terrain crane • Link-Belt ATC 3210 210-ton all-terrain crane • Link-Belt HSL 138 80-ton crawler crane • Link-Belt RTC 8050 50-ton rough-terrain crane • Link-Belt RTC 8030 30-ton rough-terrain crane “We have had a very long relationship with Link-Belt and their New England dealer, Woods CRW Corp,” Sackett said. “We have been using Link-Belt cranes nearly

exclusively for the last 20 years and we use Woods CRW for the purchase, service and support of this fleet.

“Both our company and Woods CRW are family-owned and as a result, I feel we share many of the same values and commitment to protecting our companies’ reputations.”

For this particular job, factoring in the small footprint for the Link-Belt cranes has been a major benefit.

“When you need to access various points of a 500-foot span from a postage stampsized staging area the reach and lift capabilities of the cranes are critical,” Sackett said.

“The chart on the Link-Belts is very important because when we work near the railroad, they require us to de-rate all cranes by 50 percent. In other words, if the chart says you can lift 75,000 pounds at 40 ft., they will only let you lift 50,000 lbs. at 40 ft. radius.

So, every pound you can lift more than the competition is very important,” Sackett said.
