CEG CORRESPONDENT

Of the five bids submitted to the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) in 2013 for the Fitchburg Commuter Rail Improvements Track, Civil and Signal Project, the joint-venture of J. F. White Contracting Co. and LM Heavy Civil Construction (LMH) — J.F. White/LM Heavy JV — submitted the lowest bid at $57.7 million and crews were on site in July 2013.

The project, which covers 48 mi. (77.25 km) of the MBTA’s Fitchburg Commuter Rail Line (Somerville to Fitchburg) operated by Keolis Commuter Services, which provides rail service to 127,000 passengers daily throughout Greater Boston and Rhode Island, is slated for completion by the end of 2015. .

The improvements to the Fitchburg Route are extensive. According to the MBTA web page, “It will consist of improvements to the existing track alignment; construction of new tracks through select segments; new or improved interlockings; a second track through South Acton Station area; a new train control signal system; replacement of Automatic Grade see rAIl page 4

high-level platforms is under construction in South Acton, under a separate contract with McCourt Construction. The repair or replacement of seven bridges is being done under a separate contract with J.F. White Contracting Company.

Upgrades to the Fitchburg Route that have already been completed include installation of 8 mi. (12.8 km) of a second track, construction of a new station in Littleton and transfer of the Waltham Tower to the MBTA Control Center.

Key goals of the project are to allow the diesel-powered trains to travel up to speeds of 79 mph (127 kmph)-per-hour and to reduce the trip time from Fitchburg Station to Porter

Square Station by 10 minutes The MBTA’s project manager for the project is John Doherty, who has been with the agency since 2013.

“The work is on schedule and it’s taken a concentrated effort on the part of all stakeholders, particularly the contractor and the railroad operator,” he said. “We meet weekly for coordination and schedule review. We look at all issues, with a focus on the upcoming weekend work. We haven’t had to expand the scope of the project and the work is proceeding as planned.”

Doherty has five personnel reporting to him, including engineers and inspectors. His staff oversees the construction performed by J.F. White and signal system cutover by Keolis.

“The coordination is really paying off as we are upgrading an antiquated track and signal system,” he said, “which includes signal houses, logic boards and new LED signal lighting. What this project is telling us is that good coordination among the owner, contractor, railroad operator and designer, HNTB of Chelmsford, Mass., is essential as we’re installing new systems while still operating with older ones that are being replaced. We realize that the construction is causing inconveniences for commuters and we appreciate their patience, particularly during the weekend outages

Tyler Equipment Joins SDLG’s Growing Dealer Network Tyler Equipment Corporation is the latest company to join SDLG’s ever-expanding dealer network. The East Longmeadow, Mass.-based seller of construction equipment began selling the brand’s wheel loaders in September. Additionally, the company plans to showcase the machines in a series of live demonstrations at trade fairs.

Bill Tyler, executive vice president of Tyler Equipment, said his company decided to add the brand to its portfolio to give customers an attractive value option, especially those that might use the machine seasonally or for applications that don’t require many cycle hours.

“A significant portion of our customers deal in snow removal, for example, so they won’t be using the machines year-round,” he said. “For this group of customers, it’s not in their best interest to invest in a more expensive premium machine.”

Tyler expects customers in the mulching and decorative stone sectors in New England to embrace SDLG wheel loaders, as they are a great fit for those who can’t afford or don’t need the features of a premium machine.

Additionally, he said SDLG wheel loaders would enable Tyler Equipment to offer an alternative to used premium machines.

For around the same price, certain customers will prefer to buy a new wheel loader, backed by a solid warranty and product support. In New England, he explained, excellent dealer service is often the key to winning new business.

“The great thing about SDLG is its rapid service response,” Tyler said. “I can have a part delivered within 24 hours and a new machine here in less The team at Tyler Equipment celebrates the company’s than a week, and that’s SDLG wheel loaders to its product offerings. great. This is so important to customers. They don’t want to hear that location in Berlin, Conn.

(2.3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; the LG958L, a 4.0 cu. yd. (3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; and the LG959, which has the same basic specs as the LG958L, but with wet disc brakes rather than dry disc. All four loaders are backed by a 12-month, 1,500-hour manufacturer’s warranty, and customers can expect parts to ship in as little as 24 hours.

“SDLG’s partnership with Tyler Equipment keeps with addition of the brand’s strategy to partner with seasoned, expert dealerships that know their customer bases well and can provide superior service,” said Al Quinn, director of SDLG North America. “There is a distinct type of customer that is attracted to SDLG wheel loaders, and along with Tyler Equipment, we seek to be the best in providing them quality equipment.”
