Contractors are working to finish a temporary drawbridge linking two islands on Lake Champlain with a race through the winter to have the new bridge fully functioning in time for the first seasonal opening of the bridge May 15.

Work began on the North Hero-Grand Isle Bridge in Vermont earlier this summer. In addition to the temporary drawbridge the $60 million project includes demolishing the existing drawbridge and replacing it with a new drawbridge.

“They are going to be working on the bridge all through

the winter,” said Todd Sumner, senior project manager of the Vermont Agency of Transportation. “They got the temporary out to the abutments and are going to start on the first pier 60 feet off shoreline. The goal is to get all those in, and in the very center of the navigation channel will be one span that opens and closes. After October 15 — when the seasonal openings for boat traffic ended — they will put that span in and then work on electrical and mechanical over the winter so that when May 15 comes around it will be opening by that point.”

The existing bridge was built in 1953 and is the main road

Bipartisan Coalition Emerges to Support ‘Lockbox’ Constitutional Amendment HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) A diverse coalition of more than 30 organizations is rallying support for a proposed amendment to Connecticut’s constitution, hoping to ensure transportation revenues are spent on transportation projects.

Representatives from labor unions, business associations, major state employers, environmental groups and transportation organizations, as well

as both Republican and Democratic state legislators, contend it’s crucial to support the proposed amendment to Connecticut’s constitution that would create a so-called “lockbox” to help prevent money in the state’s transportation account from being spent on other initiatives.

Democratic Rep. Antonio “Tony” Guerrera of Rocky Hill acknowledged Oct. 12 the General Assembly

has “sometimes raided that fund” and that’s why the various groups decided to come together.

Records show a political action committee supporting the coalition’s effort has amassed $74,000 to spend, mostly on digital marketing.

Waters Construction: Shedding Some Light on I-84 in Conn.

Over the last five years, Waters Construction Co. has made the shift from working during the daylight hours to turn its attention to overnight jobs. Specializing in bridge repair, the nature of their work has dictated the direction.

Shutting down an entire bridge during the daylight hours takes a great deal of coordination for a city and often causes congestion and safety problems. Overnight work minimizes disruptions for local communities and businesses, while less traffic makes it safer for workers to go about their jobs.

“Whether or not we work at night primarily depends on the character of the work available, but it has ramped up over the last four to five years,” said Mike Archer, project superintendent of Waters Construction. “There is a lot of rehabilitation work with small time windows to perform the work and it is all at night.”

Lane Closures: Bridge Repair Waters, a heavy civil contractor, was awarded the I-84 rehabilitation project in Hartford, Conn., at a cost of more than $8 million. The project began in May and is scheduled to be completed in April of 2020. According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (DOT), the existing bridges continue to deteriorate and, since 2004, the DOT has spent nearly $60 million on repairs.

This project aims at ending the deterioration. Waters is tackling the structural steel repairs, concrete repairs, bridge deck, joint repairs and drainage improvements of two bridge structures.

Once concrete repairs to the deck surface are made, the

contractor will run an asphalt mill and overlay on the bridge deck before putting the final plug joint material in over the piers. It is challenging work, especially at night.

Testing 1-2-3: Shining a New Light on I-84 Waters has a close relationship with Able Tool & Equipment in South Windsor, Conn., who is its preferred supplier for small tools and equipment.

The contractor relies on portable light towers to illuminate the night, and until recently, had never used an LED tower.

With an increasing presence in the market, Able Tool wanted the Waters crew to test one out on I-84.

Equipped with eight 15-year-old and four brand new metal halide light towers in its lineup, Waters’ initial plan was using three of the units on the I-84 project. That is, until Able Tool called Archer.

“Able Tool just brought in their first LED — a Chicago Pneumatic CPLT V5+ tower — and wanted our team to try it out for a while to see what kind of benefits it provides over their metal halide offering at the store,” said Archer. “All it would cost us is the fuel, so it was a no-brainer to at least experiment with it.”

In three months they put more than 200 hours on the CPLT V5+ and will have the machine for the remainder of the project.

Money Saver: The Benefits of LEDs Compared to metal halides, LEDs deliver multiple benefits — fuel savings, less maintenance and brighter lighting to name a few. Waters was able to test the two different models

side by side to see them in action.

Fuel: Consider the savings in fuel costs alone when comparing the CPLT V5+ versus a similar machine with CP’s CPLT V4 metal halide. Both products feature 28-gal. tanks, but the V5+ can run 100 hours longer on a single tank than the V4.

“It is an honest 25 to 30 percent savings in fuel compared to what we are used to using with our metal halides — that is a lot of uptime and in all the hours we have run the machine we have only refueled once,” said Archer. “We also have not had to perform any maintenance on the CP unit. It has been nice to just flip the switch and let it run.”

Maintenance: Archer and his team have not had to perform any maintenance in large part because LED elements last longer and the machine can be turned on and off similarly to the lights in a house.

Chadwick-BaRoss Holds Engcon Tiltrotator Demo Event

C

hadwick-BaRoss hosted an Engcon tiltrotator demo event Oct. 16, 2018, at its Westbrook, Maine, facility.

A tiltrotator is a coupling system that puts the flexibility of adding a wrist to an excavator allowing the bucket, or any attachment, the flexibility to tilt up to 45 degrees and to rotate 360 degrees indefinitely around its axis. This flexibility includes: • Ability to dig where the excavator stands — with a tiltrotator the operator can avoid unnecessarily moving the machine; • Difficult, hard to reach places become accessible; • The excavator can perform multiple tasks in a short period of time; and • A wide variety of attachments can be swapped out in seconds.

Tiltrotators have become the norm in Europe and the concept is now quickly gaining momentum in the United States.

The event gave Chadwick-BaRoss’ customers an opportunity to see the product up close, get hands-on experience, and have their questions answered by Engcon’s experts.

(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG see TILTROTATOR page 10

The GRD detachable grabber creates the ability to manipulate items like this post in ways never before possible.

Adam Lampron (L) of Chadwick-BaRoss and Dan Caron of D.R. Caron Excavation, Finot, Maine. Caron is interested in the Engcon’s versatility. “I’ve seen it before but never operated one. Being able to put the bucket backwards has a huge advantage. Fewer laborers, less labor … also fewer operators because with this you can put materials in places where before it was hard to get it there.”

After demonstrating the Engcon system, Arthur Fedas of A & A & Sons Excavation said his company performs general site work, utilities and septic.

“We are a small company and it only makes sense technology-wise to use one of these machines,” he said. “It speeds up backfills, grading … you name it. The grapples are amazing for landclearing and anything like that. I found out about it through the Dirt Ninja on YouTube and actually got to talk to him about it on social media and have gotten a lot of useful information about it. There’s no doubt in my mind that this is definitely the future and will make a difference in most areas of excavation.”

Cory Spaulding works for the city of Portland. “The machine is very versatile,” he said. “You can get into tight areas … 360 degrees; it cleans up piles nicely. The controls on this machine are very different than on machines currently in use, but the control switches on the joy sticks are quick and very user friendly. So, if you’re not used to the machine it helps you out, making the adjustment to the controls easy. You could get used to the machine very quickly, within a few hours of use.

The city is considering this machine for the rubbertired machines. We do a lot of ditch cleaning and digging around curbs and it is very easy to work in tight spaces.”

Justin Verrill of V & M Construction in Gorham, Maine, recently purchased an Engcon tiltrotator from Chadwick-BaRoss. During the event, he assisted with the demonstration and shares his own experience with the product. Verrill primarily does highend residential construction and focuses on multimillion dollar homes that often involves a lot of clean up and specialty work. “We also do a lot of home teardowns from fires and insurance teardowns, so this machine is very helpful,” he said. “We use Chadwick-BaRoss as a one-stop shop for all of our equipment needs. We had recently found out that the largest contractor in the state of Maine had invested in 14 tiltrotators. That really opened up my thinking on making the investment. When Chadwick-BaRoss became an Engcon dealer, we decided that it was time to give it a try.

“We have certainly seen a return on our investment, and we will see a larger return moving forward,” he added. “I’ve already seen a little less material cost because we’re not spilling materials everywhere and trying to pick it back up. You can really keep materials confined. Now the laborer that you had cleaning up around a foundation can be out sweeping a street or doing something else, so you can finish the job and complete the project more quickly. It definitely eliminates a laborer position, which allows that laborer to complete another aspect of the project allowing us to move on to the next job quicker than ever.”

Legislation Opens Door to Repair Aging Flood Control Dams U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) announced Oct. 10 that Congress passed legislation that opens the door for Vermont to receive federal funds to repair three aging flood-control dams.

The America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 includes an amendment authored

by Sanders in the Senate and Welch in the House that authorizes safety improvements at certain state-owned flood control dams constructed by the federal government before 1940. In Vermont, three dams — the Waterbury, East Barre and Wrightsville dams — are eligible to receive funding under this provision.

“These dams are essential pieces of Vermont’s infrastructure,” said Sanders, who is a senior member of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. “Maintaining and repairing the dams — especially the Waterbury Dam — has long been a priority for the state. This bipartisan legislation is an important step toward rebuilding aging dams in Vermont and throughout the United States.”

Welch said, “In 2011, Waterbury suffered a devastating flood during Tropical Storm Irene. More catastrophic damage

was prevented due to the existence of the aging Waterbury Dam. This important legislation will increase funding to refurbish outdated and hazardous flood control dams in Vermont and across the country.”

The federal government built the Waterbury, East Barre and Wrightsville dams in the 1930s after the devastating 1927 flood caused massive destruction and loss of life in the Winooski River basin from Central Vermont to Burlington.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers designed and the Civilian Construction Corps built the three flood-control dams on tributaries of the Winooski River to reduce the risk of future flooding.

The federal government later transferred ownership of the dams to the state of Vermont, but did not include any provisions for the upkeep of the dams. The Waterbury Dam, in particular, now has major repair needs.

The Sanders-Welch amendment authorizes up to $40 million to study, design and construct control gates, spillways and other dam safety improvements for each of the flood control dams constructed by the federal government before 1940, but currently owned by state governments.

LED Light Shines on Nighttime Work on I-84 LIGHT from page 4

On the other side, conventional metal halide bulbs require time to turn on, in addition to a cool down period before shutting off. Incorrect starting or stopping can cause the ballast and the ballast’s can to burn out or fail.

Lighting: Lighting is improved with LEDs for multiple reasons. For starters, LED lights travel farther than traditional light towers. Compare the CP V5+ lighting that covers up to 5,900 sq. yds. versus the 4,700 sq. yds. covered by the V4. “Everything has a better illumination and better glow to it with the LED,� said Archer. “It is crisper and more consistent with true daylight. The tower has done a great job of lighting up I-84 for our guys.�

Plus, LEDs last much longer. With an expected lifespan of 30,000 hours, the LEDs on the V5+ have staying power.

Their traditional counterparts run hotter, leading to more frequent burnouts.

Light bulbs are not overly costly to replenish, but over time all the replacements add up and can equate to lost time on a job site.

Trending Up: LEDs Metal halides have their place on the job site for companies specializing in shorter-duration projects or dabbling in the occasional night work. But, for larger projects, LEDs save money.

Contractors all over the United States, like Waters, are ramping up nightly con-

struction efforts. For Waters, the question they are asking as a company is whether they should start phasing out their older metal halides and start investing in LEDs to join its lineup. “LEDs hold many advantages over the traditional light tower, especially if we have a long duration project requiring long usage,� said Archer. “For that type of work, say 30 to 40 hours weekly, an LED would easily pay for itself.�

After testing the CP light tower, LEDs are currently under consideration for the contractor. While they have increased night projects, durations of jobs have been inconsistent. Archer said some years they have night crews out for seven months or so, while other years are much less.

They would like to see the work be steadier before making a decision.

For now, Archer and his crew will reap the benefits of using a test model to finish up I-84, for nothing more than a tank of gas.

In addition to the temporary drawbridge the $60 million project includes demolishing the existing drawbridge and replacing it with a new drawbridge.

through the islands, with 3,000 cars using it daily during the off-season and double that number in the summer and fall months. It also provides the only unrestricted access for boats, and is the only route big sailboats can get through.

The bridge itself is in fine physical condition, Sumner said.

“It’s the mechanical and electrical parts of getting it open that is in very dire need,” he said. “The actual capacity to carry traffic is fine. The motors, the electrical, all the mechanics are in really bad shape. The state has been sinking money into it for years just to keep it running. If this project got delayed, there is no guarantee we would be able to open this bridge in the future. There is a risk of not being able to open this bridge.”

Were that to happen, the state could face a $25,000 fine every time it failed to open.

That’s why the state can’t afford it to happen. That expectation would apply for any bridge.

“The original permit says we are supposed to open on the half hour,” Sumner said. “We’ve got a one-year deviation to open it once every hour on the hour. That gives us more time for contractors to work between openings, plus if we keep opening it up every half hour all day long, we’re worried it is taxing an already overworked old electrical system. We are limiting the chance of operation failure because it is stuck closed or open. It’s like owning a house and you bring in new appliances and want to upgrade the wiring, and you realize if you touch that, you are rewiring your whole house.”

Currently, two large cranes are on site, one at each end of the temporary bridge causeway. The cranes will build the temporary bridge from each end, then meet in the middle.

“What happens is they are using the crane

to put in the first pier and then put a deck on top connecting the abutment to the first pier,” Sumner said. “Then they drive the crane to the first bent, use the crane to install the next bent and then deck on top of that, connecting first to second and move the crane out. They inch their way across, moving the crane out farther and using it build the next one.”

There also are excavators and trucks on site to complete the infill portion of the project.

The new replacement drawbridge will be located in the same spot as the existing bridge. Otherwise, contractors would have to build a new causeway which would have a permanent impact on Lake Champlain.

Building in the same location also saves on the permitting process, which saves money.

Likewise, because the temporary bridge has a shorter lifespan, the permitting process also is less involved. The temporary bridge is being constructed on piles, some driven into the rock ledge under the mucky lake bottom.

Steel will be used for the bridge foundation with a very thick wood deck placed over the steel.

“This isn’t a bridge we’re trying to get 100 years out of,” Sumner said. “It’s a temporary bridge — the materials won’t last that long or handle the ice loading for 100 years.

It’s designed for a shorter life span and the materials aren’t as durable. It only needs to last through construction.”

The completion date is set for the 2022, but the new drawbridge is expected to be substantially complete in the winter of 2021.

Contractors will come back in spring of 2022 to make sure new vegetation is thriving, get the field office off the site and demobilize.
