The main challenge with the project is maintaining a fully functional ER with 35,000 visits annually and completing construction within that space.

Rutland Regional Medical Center in Rutland, Vt., is currently undergoing a renovation and expansion of its emergency department. The project began in February, and is expected to take up to 18 months while the emergency department remains fully operational. The contract includes 1,840 sq. ft. (171 sq m) of new construction and partial renovations of the current 13,657 sq.-ft. (1,269 sq m) area. The number of emergency treatment rooms, currently 19, will be increased to 26 with the new addition designed for five behavioral health treatment rooms and two isolation rooms that can be converted to behavioral health rooms. In addition, the lobby area will be secured for

the safety of patients, visitors and staff by creating a controlled access to public waiting areas. A new security office will be added along with enhanced security measures. see rutlANd page 16

Project Will Increase Clearance to 16 Feet on Connecticut’s Mayflower Bridge By lori tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT

Years of collisions with trucks that were just too tall to fit under Connecticut’s Mayflower Bridge in West Hartford have prompted a replacement project that will add about 2 ft. (.6 m) to the bridge, originally built in 1965. “The I-84 eastbound side has a minimum height at 14 feet,” said Louis Bacho, transportation supervising engineer with the Connecticut Department of Transportation. “That’s the lowest span. The girders had experienced bridge hits over the years. That’s the main reason to replace the superstructure. The substructure is in good shape. We’ve increased the vertical clearance to 16.3 from the roadway to the lowest girder. We’re raising it almost two feet on that one span. We shouldn’t have issues in the future.” Construction on the $6.2 million project got under way in the see MAYFlOWEr page 6

DOT Bans Heavy Trucks on Maine’s Frank J. Wood Bridge BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) Heavy trucks will be barred from using a bridge linking Brunswick and Topsham over top of the Androscoggin River after inspections revealed the rapid deterioration of structural steel. The Maine Department of Transportation announced that a 25-ton limit will be posted on the Frank J. Wood Bridge. State transportation officials downgraded the condition of the bridge’s deck and superstructure from fair to Taoab, panoramio.com photo poor following a June The Frank J.

Of that figure, about 5 percent are on U.S. Route 1 to the Brunswick-Topsham commercial trucks.

spring with an original completion date set for December. That date has since been moved back to the spring of 2017 after CDOT engineers encountered a few glitches. “We had some issues with the design,” Bacho said. “We finally resolved those. Some of the survey working points didn’t match up exactly. We used the plans the bridge was built to in 1965. Some of those surveys didn’t match. We had another issue with the design and load rating issues. When they design the bridge it has to be load rated. So we had to make minor tweaks to the design. They had to increase some of the girder stiffeners to make it work. That put us about two months behind. Sometimes it is difficult to put a new structure on an existing one. It’s easier just to start from scratch with everything brand new, but in this case the bridge substructure was in very good shape” Crews based out of Massachusetts, have already demolished one side of the bridge, and traffic is being routed in one-way alternating lanes on the remaining side. Once they build the new half, traffic will be moved to that side and the other side demolished.

Traffic below the bridge on I-84 is shut down for short periods when crews work with the bridge girders. “They’re only allowed, when they wreck the girders, to shut down 84 for about 10 minutes, sometimes a little longer,” Bacho said. “You can’t have live traffic below until the girders are stable. Same thing with demolishing the girders.” The heavy equipment being used includes excavators and large cranes. “They’ll use two large cranes to pick the girders,” Bacho said. “I think they are probably going to have those in the median below. They’ll bring the girders in from the roadway above and swing them into place. Or, the girders may be below in the median. We provide a suggested erection sequence and the contractor can take that and tweak it how he wants. We are showing the sequence from the 84 median with two large cranes. “Generally, they’ll splice two girders. They’ll get the bolts in place. They have to put two girders up there, and they have to be stable. That generally takes some time.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Following their leadership and advocacy on the Senate Appropriations and Armed Services Committees, U.S. Senators Susan Collins (R-ME), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) and Angus King (IME) announced that the U.S. Navy plans to provide funding for another critical project at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY). The funding includes $25.2 million to conduct structural repairs at berths 11A, 11B, and 11C that will repair a quay wall and restore the carrying capacity of existing portal crane rails. This project is central to the shipyard’s mission of attack submarine maintenance, modernization, and repair. “This critical structural repair project will ensure the skilled workers at Portsmouth

Naval Shipyard have the infrastructure they need to continue to provide world-class attack submarine maintenance in support of the Navy and our national security,” the Senators said in a joint statement. Senators Collins and Shaheen serve on the Senate Appropriations Committee, and Senators Shaheen, Ayotte, and King serve on the Senate Armed Services Committee. Ayotte serves as the Chair of the Readiness and Management Support Subcommittee, which oversees public shipyards and military construction.

McInnis Cement Breaks Ground in Port of Providence

A unique deep-water port that provides access to large, ocean-going ships, the Providence terminal will serve the entire New England construction market, including the metropolitan areas of Providence and Boston as well as the rest of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Rhode Island Commerce Secretary Stefan Pryor, Providence Mayor Jorge Elorza, City Council President Luis Aponte, ProvPort Board Chair Paul Moura and members of the Rhode Island business community joined McInnis Cement executives to celebrate officially breaking ground at the new cement company’s first U.S. terminal in the Port of Providence on Aug. 2, 2016. The overall cost of the project is expected to reach $22 million when completed, estimated for this coming winter. A unique deep-water port that provides access to large, ocean-going ships, the Providence terminal will serve the entire New England construction market, including the metropolitan areas of Providence and Boston as well as the rest of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut. McInnis will deliver ships with payloads of more than 33,000 tons (30,000 t) to the Providence terminal from the company’s plant in PortDaniel–Gascons, Canada. The terminal’s facility will have the capacity to load about 100 trucks and around 10 railcars per day with cement. “We are proud to commence construction of our first terminal in the United States in the Port of Providence,” said Jim Braselton, senior vice president, marketing, sales and distribution of McInnis. “Thanks to the partnerships we’ve developed with state and city officials, our high-quality product will be able to efficiently and dependably reach customers throughout New England — an area that currently and routinely in the past has had challenges with reliable supply.” McInnis is the first cement company to build a new plant that will serve New England in more than 50 years. “The plant, strategically located in an area

Tolling System Launches Oct. 28 Solas Energy Announces Award of Two Maine Wind Projects

BOSTON (AP) The Massachusetts Turnpike’s new open-road tolling system is expected to go live Oct. 28 and could increase costs for some drivers under a proposed new rate system, state transportation officials said Aug. 22. Under the new system, 24 toll plazas along the 138-mi. highway from Boston to the New York border will be torn down and replaced by 16 gantries that arch over the highway and electronically charge vehicles with E-ZPass transponders without requiring them to stop or slow down. For those without transponders, the system will take pictures of their license plates and send bills to their vehicles’ registered owners. The amount of money drivers pay would depend upon where they enter and exit the stretch of Interstate 90 under a toll proposal under consideration. Some trips would cost more, some less. State officials say it’s not a toll hike because overall toll collections would not significantly change. “This is a rate-setting process designed to address how we are collecting the same amount of tolls in a different set of locations,’’ state Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack said. “We were not favoring any region of the state.’’

A series of public meetings is scheduled before the new tolling system is voted on. The proposal also calls for Massachusetts drivers with transponders to pay less than out-of-state drivers with transponders. The goal of the new tolling system is to reduce congestion, pollution, toll plaza accidents and commute times. “It’s about public safety, it’s about air quality and it’s about congestion,’’ state Highway Administrator Tom Tinlin said. Once the system goes live, the state will start dismantling the toll plazas, which could cause travel delays, officials said. Road work connected to the project is expected to last until the end of 2017. The change is expected to net the state Department of Transportation about $33 million less in personnel costs. Some privacy advocates have criticized the system’s hot list feature, which would instantly notify police when certain license plates pass under gantries. But officials say the system will only be used in specific circumstances, including missing-children alerts, and could end up saving lives. The state already has open-road tolling on the southbound side of the Tobin Bridge.

Following closely on the award of the Sunflower Wind Project announced in August, Solas Energy Consulting U.S. Inc. and its Canadian partner company, Solas Energy Consulting Inc. (collectively “Solas Energy”), announced two additional significant project awards. Solas will provide comprehensive construction management services for the 51 MW Hancock Wind Project under construction near Ellsworth, Maine, and the 185 MW Bingham Wind Project under construction near Bingham, Maine. Solas Energy will oversee the turbine supplier and balance-of-plant contractor’s site work on behalf of the project owners, Hancock Wind LLC and Blue Sky West LLC. Construction was started on both

projects in 2015. Solas Energy was brought in midway through project construction to replace the existing construction management contractor. “The real challenge with these projects was to ensure the seamless transition of responsibility over a short time frame. Solas was able to retain the existing construction and project management team through the transition, which helps keep the projects on schedule and within budget. We are looking forward to the successful completion of both of these projects” said Evelyn Carpenter, Solas Energy Consulting co-founder and president.

$10M in Federal Funds Allows Vermont to Extend Rail Service By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT

Due to $10 million in federal funding, passenger rail service should reach Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, by 2020. In addition, the last sections of track between Burlington and Rutland, which is where passenger service currently stops, will be upgraded. Improvements to the Western Rail Corridor, as the project is known, would provide a more direct train route from Vermont’s largest population center in Chittenden County south to New York City. “Our biggest city isn’t connected to Amtrack,” said Daniel Delabruere, rail program director with the State of Vermont. Cash Flow State rail officials say the project will allow “Ethan Allen Express” passenger train service now terminating in Rutland to continue north to Burlington. This 65-mi. (104.6 km) stretch of rail from Rutland to Burlington is a “significant project,” but the project hasn’t been let to bid yet. “We’re waiting on grant money,” Delabruere explained. It’s a complicated calculation. The total project carries a price tag of $26 million. Federal funding of $10 million secured by Vermont’s congressional delegation will be matched by approximately $11 million in state funding. “Other federal money has been earmarked for western corridor updates,” Delabruere said. Although the Tiger grant program is the federal source for much of the rail work, $13.3 million in federal highway money has been designated for rail crossings and another $2 million in federal money will be used for station improvements. “The Tiger 5 project was $10 million in federal funds for the $13 million project to upgrade the rail,” Delabruere said. That project is “nearly done.” The Tiger 7 grant is the final piece to finish the track work. Working on the Railroad Once the funding is in place, work will begin. The last phase of the project encompasses removing
