In Bernardston, Mass., cleanup efforts are under way following work to ensure the reliability and continued use of Bridge 42.81 for passenger and freight railroad operations. The rehab took place in a short period of time, but required a great deal of coordination.

“The primary construction was successfully performed during a five-day service outage period in midSeptember,” said Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) spokesperson Patrick Marvin. “This time-frame was coordinated with numerous stakeholders, including Amtrak, CTDOT, VTDOT and MassDOT, in order to accommophoto date railroad traffic, the local commu- The railroad bridge was designed and built in 1846 by Theodore MassDOT Judah. nity and to allow concurrent work by Amtrak on a similar infrastructure project requiring an outage in Windsor, Conn., on Amtrak’s Springfield, along the Knowledge Corridor. The $2.1 million project is being funded by MassDOT as part of the Hartford Line.”

The historic four-section viaduct is commonly referred to Knowledge Corridor improvements.

Amtrak currently operates northbound and southbound as the Stone Arch Bridge over the Fall River, at railroad Milepost 42.81, which is approximately 42.8 mi. from see BRIDGE page 18

BOSTON (AP) The utility company involved in September’s explosions and fires in Massachusetts says it has replaced nearly 36 miles of main pipeline in the area.

Columbia Gas announced Oct. 21, that it’s 80 percent through its work replacing 45 miles of main pipeline, and about halfway through its work replacing 6,100 service lines to homes and businesses.

The Sept. 13 explosions and fires killed a teenager and injured at least 25 other people.

Federal authorities say natural gas lines became overpressurized after Columbia Gas failed to account for critical pressure sensors as workers replaced century-old cast-iron pipes in Lawrence.

The company says it has paid $23 million in claims from customers.

The University of Vermont Board of Trustees has unanimously passed a resolution that lays out a specific financial plan for the Athletic Department’s MultiPurpose Facility project and paves the way for construction to begin as early as this winter, pending receipt of all the necessary permits.

The resolution requires that all fundraising goals be met prior to groundbreaking. While fundraising for the project will continue up to and through construction, several critical milestones have been met which provided the board confidence to move the project forward.

The much-anticipated project includes major upgrades to health, wellness and recreation, a transformational renovation of historic Gutterson Fieldhouse and the construction of a new events center that will serve as the home for the Catamount men’s and women’s basketball teams while also hosting a variety of campus and public events. The project is scheduled to be completed in various stages throughout the 2020-21 academic year.

“The passage of these resolutions by the full Board of Trustees will represent the most significant step forward in the long history of our vision, consideration, planning, and, at long last, construction of this critical project,” said UVM President Tom Sullivan. “Once approved, our board will be making a strong and official commitment of University resources to get this done, which is an essential component of the finances needed to move forward. This opens the door for this multipurpose project to break ground as planned this winter, as we complete the final phase of philanthropic fundraising. As I have stated before, ‘It’s time.’ And now, I can report that we are all in with this clear commitment to get this project done.”

The total project cost is anticipated to be $95 million which will be funded through a combination of private philanthropic gifts and other institutional sources.

“I’m incredibly encouraged by today’s action and want to thank our generous donors and members of the board for their unwavering commitment to this project,” stated Director of Athletics Jeff Schulman. “The multi-purpose Construction Equipment Guide Northeast facility that we are poised to begin will dramatically enhance Edition (ISSN 1081-7034) is published bi-weekly by Construction Equipment Guide student health, wellness and recreation while also positioning Ltd.

Heroic O&G Industries Mixer Driver Wins National Concrete Safety Award Ilir Alibali, a concrete mixer driver with O&G Industries, recently was recognized by the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association (NRMCA) with its annual Safety Award.

Alibali received the award for saving a driver in 2017.

The driver had driven his sedan through O&G’s Davenport Street Concrete Plant in Stamford and into the harbor.

Alibali dove into the water and pulled the despondent driver to safety.

“With one hand I held the tire on the barge and with other I grabbed onto the guy and then pulled the guy out.

He was really lucky,” said Alibali.

The award was presented at the 2018 NRMCA annual conference in National Harbor, Md. About O&G Industries, Inc. O&G is general contractor, construction manager, design/builder and specialty sub-contractor with nearly a century of experience in commercial building, power plant, road and bridge and site construction. O&G serves clients in educational, healthcare, industrial manufacturing, transportation, power and municipal markets throughout the United States. O&G is headquartered in Torrington, Conn.

Vermont Begins Last Irene Recovery Project

By Wilson Ring ASSOCIATED PRESS

ROXBURY, VT (AP) Construction got under way Oct. 24 on a project to rebuild Vermont’s oldest fish hatchery, which was put out of business by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.

While the symbolic scoop from an excavator operated

by Republican Gov. Phil Scott marked the beginning of construction on the hatchery, it also marked the beginning of the last recovery project from the storm that devastated Vermont.

“It’s been a long time coming,” said Scott, the former owner of a construction company, after he climbed out of the machine. “It took a lot of effort from everyone pulling together in the same direction.”

The rebuilding of the Roxbury Fish Culture Station, first built in 1891, and known for its outdoor ponds, rather than the tanks used by more modern hatcheries, sunk into the ground. It will meet modern water quality standards while helping to provide the thousands of brook and rainbow trout that will be distributed to lakes, rivers and streams.

It wasn’t lost on the people at the ceremony, held on a chilly October morning that was spitting snow, that it would be the last time state officials gathered to mark the start of construction of a major Irene recovery project.

Some parts of Vermont received 11 inches of rain in 24 hours when Irene stalled over Vermont in late August 2011. It killed six, damaged or destroyed more than 500 miles of roads and 200 bridges, and cut off more than a dozen communities from the outside world, some for several days.

The recovery led to the largest single construction project in state history, the $145 million rebuilding of the state office complex in Waterbury, most of which was made unusable when the Winooski River overflowed its banks.

The rebuilt complex opened in late 2015.

All told, there were 3,372 project worksheets written by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in response to Irene flooding. The combination of federal, state and private funding of the rebuilding totaled an estimated $750 million, said Ben Rose, the hazard mitigation chief of Vermont Emergency Management.

A handful of projects remain to be completed. The building of the new state agricultural laboratory in Randolph is almost finished, and there are a handful of road projects wrapping up, but with the Oct. 24 groundbreaking, none are left to get started, Rose said.

“It’s a real celebration of perseverance,” Rose said.

Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter said the rebuilding of the Roxbury hatchery is going to cost $5 million to $6 million, with FEMA contributing just under $1 million.

“The cost of this project is really about building a hatchery that can both produce fish but can also produce those fish in an environmentally protective and responsible way,” Porter said.

The construction is expected to take about a year, but it will probably have to pause for the winter, so it’s likely it won’t be ready for a ribbon-cutting until sometime in 2020.

The $2.1 million project is being funded by MassDOT as part of the Knowledge Corridor improvements.

In Bernardston, Mass., cleanup efforts are under way following work to ensure the reliability and continued use of Bridge 42.81 for passenger and freight railroad operations.

All work was completed in a narrow window, with minimal nighttime work. Afterhours of work, which presents special safety challenges, was carefully considered during construction preparation planning.

Marvin added that special consideration was given to the redesign of the 26 new precast concrete U-shaped “tubs” to provide improved stability and safety, as well as historic and architectural consideration, such as the addition of a safety walkway, increased

depth of the tubs and special treatment of the precast concrete outside tub faces to mirror the historic stone design.

Pan Am Railway officials were part of the project team and provided staff to support the undertaking. According to MassDOT Rail and Transit Administrator Astrid Glynn, the closely-coordinated operation involved a number of players.

“All work was carefully planned, from design, through material procurement, delivery, staging of equipment, construction, quality assurance, inspection and placement in service for railroad operations. The project was completed on schedule and on budget.”

The bridge and more than two dozen existing concrete tubs were previously inspected and determined to be in sufficient structural condition for removal. When the track outage began, the existing track was

removed in panels, then each concrete tub was lifted off the stone deck of the bridge.

The stone bridge deck was carefully examined, cleaned and then prepared for receipt of the 26 new precast concrete tubs which were wider, higher and included a safety walkway.

Anti-graffiti coating was applied during factory manufacture of the precast bridge tubs. All the new tubs were installed, grouted and a thick vibration/noise pad was applied.

Once the grout had cured, a base of new stone ballast was installed on the new bridge deck, followed by the new track panels which were then connected at both ends to the existing track. Additional stone ballast was installed, and the track was surfaced and laser lined to its proper location.

All existing materials will be removed or placed in other locations as required. The new 136RE continuous welded rail (CWR)

will be installed, replacing the new 136RE rails used to construct the track panels.

Pandrol plates, clips and other fasteners were installed similar to the track work on the Knowledge Corridor.

“Any railroad project involving active operations is complex,” said Glynn. “The special challenges for Stone Arch Bridge 42.81 included historic, safety, special design considerations, material procurement and handling, crane locations and staging on each side of the bridge to facilitate complete and safe work zone coverage.

“The project also included some day and night time work, a compressed schedule due to a specific Amtrak service outage required busing, community outreach and stakeholder communications and the need for good weather and warm temperatures. see BRIDGE page 22

BRIDGE from page 18

MassDOT’s contractor, design consultant, program management consultant, and Pan Am Railway staff support contributed to the success of the project.”

Preparation work began prior to the outage. Actual construction started soon after the northbound Vermonter cleared the area, and continued until work was completed when the final inspections occurred and a Pan Am freight train crossed the bridge at slow speed under careful inspection of project staff.

Rehabbing the bridge required a special safety work plan to ensure site safety throughout construction. The architectural treatment of the new precast tubs also involved coordination with the pre-cast manufacturer, to ensure quality and consistency.

Glynn said weather was not a significant factor for crews. As for the condition of the site prior to construction, MassDOT determined that the bridge required replacement of the concrete bridge tubs to support overall state-of-good-repair infrastructure initiatives.

Two large cranes with telescopic booms capable of reaching past the center of the bridge were used to remove the old tubs and install the new ones. Railroad track surfacing equipment was needed for lining and surfacing the new track to intended grade and alignment. Main items used during construction included the new precast concrete tubs, as well as new 136RE rail, wood railroad ties, ballast mat, stone ballast, Pandrol plates and other track materials.

Planning, design, construction staging preparation, safety planning, material management, coordination with all stakeholders and good community outreach were all required to ensure a successful project for Bridge 42.81. Glynn noted that it was extremely gratifying to be involved in giving the bridge new life.

“Improving a historic structure such as Stone Arch Bridge 42.81 is always a challenge, and it’s very rewarding to the project staff, MassDOT and the community.”

The railroad bridge was designed and built in 1846 by Theodore Judah, who later met with President Lincoln and Congress and convinced them to provide funding to survey and build the Transcontinental Railroad.

Born in 1826 in Bridgeport, Conn., Judah studied engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He later became an American railroad and civil engineer, and was a central figure in the original promotion, establishment and design of the First Transcontinental Railroad.

Judah found investors for what became the Central Pacific Railroad (CPRR). As chief engineer, he performed much of the land survey work to determine the best route for the railroad over the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Mount Judah, an 8,245-ft. peak in Placer County, Calif., was formally named for Judah in 1940.
