The McConnells Mills Bridge project is well under way with Joseph B. Fay Company of Russellton, Pa., at the helm. The project is for the replacement of the McConnells Mills Bridge, which carries SR 19 (Perry Highway) over SR 422 (Benjamin Franklin Highway) at the Butler County/Lawrence County line in Muddy Creek Township, Pa. The 99-ft. (30 m) bridge was originally constructed in 1949 and sees an average daily traffic of 4,643 vehicles. Work on the $5.6 million endeavor began in May 2010 and expected to be complete by September 2011. The project consists of the construction of a three lane, single span composite pre-stressed concrete I-beam bridge with minor approach work and minor

Moretrench uses a Kelly BK20/368/3/27 for drilling the caissons.

Chilean Miners By Mary Reed CEG CORRESPONDENT

The main shaft of the 125-year-old San Jose Mine near Copiapo, 500 mi. north of Santiago, Chile, collapsed on Aug. 5, 2010. An estimated 700,000 tons of rock shifted, trapping 33 men 2,300 ft (700 m) underground. The group was able to reach a reinforced area serving as an emergency refuge in the gold and copper mine, privately owned by Compania Minera San Esteban Primera. The majority of the trapped men are from Copiapo and range in age from Mario Gomez, who is in his early sixties and has worked in mines since he was 12, to 19-year-old Jimmy Sanchez, a new father whose baby was a month old at the time of the collapse. A meticulously organized rescue plan to be carried out by an international cooperative effort swung into action, overseen by Codelco, the stateowned mining enterprise and the largest company in Chile. However, it was not only due to the sterling above-ground efforts that the men returned safely. The party organized itself to help itself, led by shift supervisor Luis Urzua. According to psychologists assisting the trapped men to cope with their situation, this cohesion and direction of purpose was vital to their mental health, while also helping them see RESCUE page 44

The Schramm T130XD is seen here on site at the San Jose Mine.

Hard Work, Honesty Keeps N.J. Firm on the Right Track By Jim Duffy

SPECIAL TO CEG

Route 52 Contract A1 project between Ocean City and Somers Point, N.J., completed in February 2010.

Work continues on the Route 1 & 9 St. Paul’s Ave. Bridge.

People First How did Harms Construction come so far in 50 years? By keeping its priorities straight, said Harms. “People have always come first. We could not build roads and bridges without our hardworking, dedicated team of unbelievably talented employees. A lot of good people have only ever worked here, and retired here, going back 50 years. “Two things we expect from every member in our

George Harms knew what he wanted when he was just 16 years old. “I had an ambition to run a piece of equipment,” he said. “My mom and dad helped me buy an old front loader/backhoe, and dad helped me fix it up. My first job paid $40.” see HARMS page 106 High school was followed by a stint in the National Guard, time enough for Harms to save a little money for more equipment. “In late 1962 I bought my first Cat, a used 933 loader,” he said. By the end of 1963, Harms had already hired his first full-time employee. Today, George Harms Construction Company Inc., headquartered in Farmingdale, N.J., employs 250 people and produces up to $85 million in annual revenues. The company ranks among the Top 400 construction firms in the United States, according to The Engineering News Record. Among current projects, Harms Construction is building the Route 1 & 9 St. Paul’s Avenue Bridge in Jersey City, N.J. — the largest single contract ever (L-R) are Kevin Harms, Ed Panuska, Tom Hardell, George Harms, Rob Harms, awarded in NJDOT history Doug Longmuir, Carlos Fernandes and Jason at $200 million. Hardell.

NYS Getting Another $28M for Upstate Rail Projects By Chris Carola

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) New York will receive another $28 million for railroad projects upstate in the latest round of federal funding aimed at improving the nation’s rail infrastructure for high-speed trains, officials announced Oct. 28. U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced in Iowa City, Iowa, that $2.4 billion in nationwide rail grants will go to 54 projects in 23 states, with California and Florida getting more than $1.7 billion between them. The Syracuse area will get $18.5 million of New York’s $28.4 million, according to members of New York’s congressional delegation. Most of that will be used for signal upgrades at a suburban rail yard and to improve Onondaga County’s transportation center, home to the city’s Amtrak station and a bus depot. The rest of the money, nearly $10 million, will go toward upgrading signal systems in the Hudson Valley and preliminary engineering work to replace a 144-year-old bridge that carries Amtrak trains over the Hudson River in Albany. The second round of funding follows the

previously announced $151 million in federal stimulus money New York is getting for high-speed rail projects across Amtrak’s Empire Corridor, stretching from New York City to Niagara Falls. Rep. Louise Slaughter, a Rochester-area Democrat who has pushed for better rail service in upstate New York for years, said many of the projects are set to start in the coming months. “Next spring, I think you’ll see a lot of movement,” she said Oct. 28. The projects are part of the state’s ongoing high-speed rail initiative to improve Amtrak passenger service between Manhattan and

Niagara Falls and between Albany and Montreal. State transportation officials have said the goal is to increase train passenger train speeds from the current maximum of 79 mph to 110 mph, and eventually to 150 mph. The plan includes adding a second track between Albany’s Amtrak station in Rensselaer and the Schenectady station, a 12-mi. stretch plagued by bottlenecks because the current single track has to be shared by passenger and freight trains. Slaughter called adding the second track “absolutely critical.” “It’s one of the first things we’ll take care

of,” she said in a telephone interview from Buffalo. Work on the second track is scheduled to begin next summer and is expected to be completed two years later, said Stanley Gee, New York state’s transportation commissioner. On Oct. 27, Amtrak executives and New York officials joined Gee at the Rensselaer station across the river from Albany to announce the impending demolition of two old buildings next to the new station, which opened in 2002. The demolition will allow the eventual installation of a fourth track that will help improve operations at Amtrak’s ninth busiest station, officials said. The Albany station work wasn’t included in the funding announced Oct. 28. Neither was the money local officials sought for replacing Schenectady’s aging Amtrak station. Democratic Congressman Paul Tonko of Amsterdam said he and local officials will look for other funding for the Rensselaer and Schenectady projects. Slaughter said Rochester has gotten $1.5 million from the first round of stimulus funding to design a new station to replace the city’s rundown, 32-year-old Amtrak station. That project also is expected to begin next year, she said.

New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Acting Commissioner Stanley Gee, New York State Thruway Authority (NYSTA) Executive Director Michael Fleischer and Metropolitan Transportation Authority Metro-North Railroad (MNR) President Howard Permut announced that the Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 Corridor Project has made significant progress by identifying the bridge, highway and transit options that will be analyzed in more detail in the project’s ongoing environmental study. This will lead to publication of the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) early next year. The project’s consultants have made recommendations to further narrow the number of bridge configurations and transit options to be analyzed, which in turn helps to expedite the project’s DEIS. The project team briefed the Rockland and Westchester County executives, state and local elected officials and other stakeholders. “During these difficult economic times, we must continue to invest in our transportation infrastructure, which is critical to mobility and economic development,” Gee said. “The Tappan Zee Bridge and Interstate 287 corridor link the Hudson Valley and beyond. The Tappan Zee project consultants’ latest

recommendations will help us move forward, ultimately constructing a new, transitready bridge across the Hudson River, expanding transportation options and strengthening the economy for us and future generations.” “The Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 Corridor Project continues making progress toward constructing a bridge across the Hudson River, capable of transporting our future travelers and customers. Through partnership with our transportation colleagues and outreach to the community, steps have been made to move forward in the 21st century with a transit system that will grow with the region, ease congested highways, and reduce east-west travel times. Meanwhile, the Thruway Authority will continue to ensure safe and efficient travel for the millions of motorists who use the Tappan Zee each year,” Fleischer said. “Refining the options to be further analyzed in the environmental study now underway is a crucial step in progressing this project. We are closer than ever to a consensus and I’m pleased with the progress made so far on this very complex project, which will affect the region for the next 150 years,” Permut added. NYSDOT heads a three-agency team that

has recommended the complete replacement of the Tappan Zee Bridge in the lower Hudson Valley and development of bus rapid transit (BRT) and commuter rail systems (CRT) along the I-287 corridor. The New York State Thruway Authority and MTA Metro-North Railroad are partners in the project. The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration are cooperating with the state in the development of the proposed project’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). “A new Tappan Zee Bridge is vital to the economic growth of Westchester, Rockland, the region and the state,” said Westchester County Executive Robert P. Astorino. “So it is critical for all the stakeholders involved to move forward as quickly as possible. It is welcome news to see progress is being made on the bridge design. But many tough decisions remain and the sooner we start tackling them, the sooner the bridge can start acting as a much needed economic engine.” “We are eager to move forward with the Tappan Zee Bridge Project that will significantly ease transportation issues among commuters and visitors to our area,” said Rockland County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef. “We will continue to work

together to meet the needs of our growing population.” The project consultants — Earthtech/AECOM, AECOM and Ove ARUP, all of Manhattan — have recommended narrowing the replacement bridge configurations to be evaluated in detail, as well as the highway and transit options that will be advanced in the DEIS being developed as part of an extensive environmental review of the project. The recommendations are the result of extensive public outreach and technical analysis of a wide variety of options and project designs. The team is considering bridge and transit alternatives within the 30mi. I-287 corridor between Suffern, Rockland County, and Port Chester, Westchester County, to determine how best to address regional congestion, mobility challenges, and the immediate needs of the Tappan Zee Bridge, which crosses the Hudson River between Westchester and Rockland counties. The bridge also provides access to and from upstate New York and neighboring states to the west and north, including New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

N.J. Governor Shifts Focus to State Highway Projects By Angela Delli Santi and Beth DeFalco TRENTON, N.J. (AP) A day after Gov. Chris Christie killed the nation’s largest public works project, an underwater rail tunnel linking New York City to its populous New Jersey suburbs, he said Oct. 28 that it’s time to focus on badly needed improvements to the state’s roads and bridges. The Republican governor, who burnished a national reputation for cost-cutting by putting his foot down on the $9 billion-plus tunnel, told 200 people at a town hall meeting in Moorestown it’s time to pay for improvements to state infrastructure, sometimes rated among the worst in the country. “We need to start investing money in that and improving that first,” Christie said. “And if we find partners in the future like the city and state of New York, like Amtrak, like the federal government, who want to partner with us on the tunnel, I’m happy to listen to them. But if it’s to benefit the region, then the region has to pay not just New Jersey.” It’s the closest Christie has come to validating what some tunnel proponents claim was the Republican’s primary motivation for killing the tunnel. They said he wanted to use the money to replenish the state’s nearly broke state transportation fund; the tunnel’s demise frees up at least $1.25 billion. Christie has ruled out raising the state

gasoline tax to help solve the state’s transportation budget woes. At 14.5 cents per gallon, New Jersey’s gas tax is among the lowest in the country, behind only Alaska, Georgia and Wyoming. The tunnel was intended to supplement a century-old two-track tunnel under the Hudson River that has been at capacity for years. The new tunnel would have been able to handle an extra 25 NJ Transit commuter trains per hour during peak periods; without it, New Jersey is left a tunnel that can handle 23 Amtrak and NJ Transit trains. More than 625,000 people trek into Manhattan from New Jersey each work day, about 185,000 by rail, and even a minor delay can translate into long waits. Construction began last year on the tunnel, which has been in the works for 20 years. Christie had said Oct. 27 that he was sticking by a decision more than two weeks earlier to kill the project because of runaway costs. He rejected a variety of financial proposals offered by the federal government to salvage the tunnel, saying none fully relieved New Jersey of responsibility for overruns. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey was contributing $3 billion; New Jersey’s share was $2.7 billion plus overruns. New Jersey will have to repay the federal government up to $350 million of the

money already spent. “I said to them it’s all about money,” Christie said during Millennium Radio’s “Ask the Governor” program. “I can’t have a blank check, so they knew if they came back and said they’d cover all the overages, the project would have gone forward. If the federal government would have ever come forward and said ‘we will take the risk of it going over budget and we’ll cover it,’ I would have had a very different press conference.” Sen. Frank Lautenberg, a Democrat who helped secure federal money for the project, disputed Christie’s account of the financing deals. “The governor has once again put politics over performance,” Lautenberg said. The Obama administration persuaded Christie to rethink the decision and two weeks later proposed options to keep the tunnel on track. The proposals — all rejected by Christie — included low-interest federal loans; a scaling-back of the project; and the use of public-private partnerships, which other cities have formed for large infrastructure projects. A law firm representing international transportation investors sent an Oct. 22 letter to a Christie ally expressing interest in exploring a partnership with the state. Christie vetoed it because it involved payback — with interest — to investors.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood’s final offer came during a meeting Oct. 24: $358 million in additional federal money. The state and the Port Authority were each expected to put up similar amounts. LaHood also disputed Christie’s account of the financing deals as others expressed shock that the Republican governor was turning down $3 billion in federal funding. Transportation advocates, train riders, union leaders and some Democrats criticized the decision as shortsighted, and contractors reeled at the loss of work in an industry with staggering unemployment. Timothy Barnard, CEO of Barnard Construction Co. of Bozeman, Mont., which shared a half-billion-dollar contract to drill the final phase of the tunnel from Manhattan’s West Side to underneath Penn Station, said his company spent $1 million preparing its bid and another $3 million since last November when the bid was accepted. “To say it’s very disappointing would be an understatement,” Barnard said. Barnard said his company employs 300 to 1,500 people depending on what projects it takes on; the cancellation of the tunnel means the company won’t be adding employees as it had planned to do, he said.

The Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT) opened the newest segment of the Coventry Greenway following a ribbon cutting ceremony on the path Oct. 14. The path connects two existing bike paths to form a continuous 14.2-mi. bikeway, making it the secondlongest bike path in Rhode Island. This 1.6-mi. path lies in the eastern portion of Coventry, from Station Street to Whitford Street, close to the West Warwick line. To the west, the new path connects to an existing 2.7-mi. bike path built by the town of Coventry in the late 1990s and runs from Station Street to the area of Town Farm Road. To the east, the new path connects to a 9.9-mi. network of three paths built by RIDOT in the mid 2000s from Whitford Street to Cranston Street in Cranston, not far from the Providence line. “This is a very significant piece because it fills in a missing link between two bikeways,” RIDOT Director Michael P. Lewis said. “Combined these paths provide a bona fide alternative to driving a car so people can bike or walk to school, work, or

any other destination.” The path was designed by the engineering firm Fuss & O’Neill of Providence and built by J.H. Lynch of Cumberland at a cost of $1.6 million. Collectively, the individual bike paths — the Coventry Greenway, the West Warwick Greenway, the Warwick Bike Path and the Cranston Bike Path — are known as the Washington Secondary Bike Path. They all exist on the Washington Secondary rail corridor of the former Hartford, Providence and Fishkill Railroad, which ceased most operations in 1968 with all freight service discontinued by 1985. At 14.2 mi. in length, the Washington Secondary is now only second to the East Bay Bike Path (14.5 mi. long) for the title of the longest bike path in Rhode Island. “The Coventry Greenway is a tremendous asset for our town,” Coventry Town Council President Raymond E. Spear said. “This new path builds on that asset and we look forward to future expansion in the coming years.” RIDOT and the Rhode Island

Department of Environmental Management are working collaboratively on design plans to extend the path further west along the abandoned rail line as far west as the Connecticut border. No firm dates for construction have been selected, but the goal is to extend the bikeway in two phases on a segment of the former rail corridor known as the Trestle Trail. The first phase, about 5 mi. from Town Farm Road to Log Bridge Road, could begin in late 2011 or early 2012. The second phase, another 5 mi. from Log Bridge Road to the Connecticut border, could begin in late 2012 or early 2013. RIDOT also has under design another contract to make improvements on the original Coventry Greenway segment from Station Street to Town Farm Road, including the addition of an equestrian path adjacent to the existing bike path, a spur from the Coventry Public Library and Coventry Town Hall, fencing, signing, parking lots and other amenities. A shade platform and a handicapped-accessible canoe launch also are planned for the bikeway near the intersection of Pilgrim Avenue and Laurel

Avenue. The Department’s goal is to begin this project in mid 2011. The new Coventry Greenway segment and the other paths that comprise the Washington Secondary Bike Path follow the route of the East Coast Greenway, a proposed 3,000-mi. bike path from Maine to Florida. Rhode Island is a leader among East Coast states in getting its segments of the East Coast Greenway built. The East Coast Greenway also will follow the Blackstone River Bikeway as it travels north toward Massachusetts. “The East Coast Greenway Alliance, spearheading development of a 3,000-mile trail connecting cities of the eastern seaboard, congratulates RIDOT and the town of Coventry for completing the Coventry Greenway,” said Eric Weis, trail program coordinator and New England trail coordinator of the East Coast Greenway Alliance. “Completion of this path gives local users a great route to West Warwick, Warwick and Cranston, and as part of the East Coast Greenway, people can step onto the path and head in one direction to get to

Colleagues Remember Kenneth R. McClung-Logan Groff as a Caring, Honest Gentleman Adds Doosan Portable Power GROFF from page 1

said Michael Savastio, president and CEO of Groff Tractor. “He did it his way, which meant he was never going to sacrifice his dignity to make a profit. He cared deeply about our industry, customers and most importantly our GT&E employees. “He taught me the importance of doing the right thing when it came to making a decision. He would say, ‘do right by our customers, our employees, our manufacturers and the rest of the stuff will take care of itself.’ “The reason he brought me in back in 2001 to become business partners was because he cared about his customers, employees Ken Groff, circa 1980. and manufacturers and wanted to make sure that there was a solid succession plan for the company. That is the kind of man he was, always caring about others and making sure he did the right thing. He truly was a class act, a great boss and most importantly a great friend.” Savastio added. Mr. Groff attended York College and the University of Maryland. He attended Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning, Ga., and was a U.S. Army veteran of the Vietnam War. He also was a member and former board member of the West Shore Country Club, a member of the Sea Pines Country Club, Hilton Head, S.C., and was an avid golfer. Mr. Groff was on the board of Capital Area Transit and a member of various construction equipment associations at the time of his death. He had been a member of the board of directors of the former First Bank and Trust of Mechanicsburg, PNC Bank and Eichelberger Drilling. “Ken was an independent thinker who had strong opinions, but he loved to debate. His positions were always clear, but took into account the impact to any and all affected. He always tried to be strong and tough, but in reality he had a big heart that put others ahead of himself,” said Jim McCullough, president and CEO of CNH Ken Groff, circa 1983.

Construction. “His three loves were his family, his business and his recreation. I shall miss his opinions, I shall miss his humor, I shall miss his style. A true gentlemen in every sense of the word,” McCullough added. In addition to his mother, he is survived by his wife, Helen Turner Groff; two daughters Jessica A. and husband Todd A. Vollmer of Phoenixville, Pa., Katie G. and husband Rob Reed of Mechanicsburg; three grandchildren, Chloe M. Vollmer, Quinn W. Vollmer and Samantha M. Reed; a brother Larry E. Groff of Crofton, Md., and two sisters Judy Hull of Grantham and Gloria Knittle of

Bethany Beach, Del. “He was a wonderful father, husband and grandfather and will be truly missed by his family and friends,” daughter Katie Reed said. “He was someone who led by example…his favorite saying was ‘Life is a journey, not a destination.’ Memorial contributions may be made to the American Cancer Society, 3211 N.

U.S. Trend Reveals Shunning of Some Public Works Projects By David Porter and Michael Rubinkam ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) New Jersey’s governor wants to kill a $9 billion-plus train tunnel to New York City because of runaway costs. Far away, Hawaii’s outgoing governor is having second thoughts about a proposed $5.5 billion rail line in Honolulu. In many of the 48 states in between, infrastructure projects are languishing on the drawing board, awaiting the right mix of creative financing, political armtwisting and timing to move forward. And a struggling economy and a surge of political candidates opposed to big spending could make it a long wait. Has the nation that built the Hoover Dam, brought electricity to the rural South and engineered the massive interstate highway system lost its appetite for big public works projects? At a time when other countries are pouring money into steel and concrete, is the United States unwilling to think long-term? “My sense is things have changed,” said Andrew Goetz, a University of Denver professor and an expert on transportation policy. “People now tend to see any project as a waste of money, and that’s just wrong.” “I call it the Bridge to Nowhere syndrome,” he added. “High-profile projects get publicized and they become a symbol for any infrastructure project that’s out there, and even the ones that are justified get tarnished by the same charge.” The so-called Bridge to Nowhere would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to connect one Alaskan town to an island of 50 residents. It figured in the 2008 presidential election when then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was criticized for initially backing the plan, which was eventually scrapped. The other cautionary tale is Boston’s Big Dig, the highway and tunnel project that was originally envisioned at less than $3

billion and wound up costing nearly $15 billion. The Big Dig has made it far easier for motorists to get to and from Boston’s airport, and it eliminated a noisy and unsightly elevated highway that cast a shadow over some historic neighborhoods. But construction was plagued by years of delays, corruption and shoddy workmanship that resulted in the death of a motorist in a ceiling collapse. Other countries are spending heavily on jobcreating infrastructure. Projects include Algeria’s $11.2 billion east-west highway; a planned $10 billion bridge linking the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra; and China’s $60 billion Yangtze River diversion project. Australia plans to spend $38 billion to relieve traffic congestion in Melbourne, while Britain is preparing for a $45 billion high-speed rail link between London and the West Midlands. Japan is building a $70 billion highway from Tokyo to Osaka, scheduled for completion in 2020. A report this month by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Council of Economic Advisers paints a picture of a country dissatisfied with the state of America’s aging infrastructure and in favor of improvements, but not necessarily eager to commit the dollars to fix it. Infrastructure spending in the United States stands at 2 percent of the country’s gross domestic product — half what it was in 1960 — compared with approximately 9 percent in China and 5 percent for Europe, according to the government report. “During recessions it is common for state and local governments to cut back on capital projects — such as building schools, roads and parks — in order to meet balanced budget requirements,” the report concluded. “However, the need for improved and expanded infrastructure is just as great during a downturn as it is

during a boom.” The American Society of Civil Engineers calculated that the United States would need to spend an additional $1.1 trillion over the next five years to restore roads, bridges, dams, levees and other infrastructure to good condition. In its latest report card, the engineering society gave the nation’s

rail linking Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago; a pair of highway projects in Texas; and the tunnel that New Jersey’s governor has threatened to scuttle. To be sure, there are large-scale projects under way, notably in California, where a combination of federal dollars and voterapproved bonds and local tax increases are funding improvements, from highway widening to the $6.2 billion renovation of the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland. And recently, Arizona and Nevada hailed the opening of a $240 million bridge that bypasses Hoover Dam. However, many projects recently completed or in the pipeline secured funding before the economy went into a slide. B l a i n e L e o n a rd Some of them might not be approved today. American Society of Civil Engineers In New Jersey, construction on a rail tunnel connecting New Jersey public works a “D” grade. and New York City — the largest “Somehow we believe if we transportation project under way ignore it, it will go away,” said in the United States — began in Blaine Leonard, the society’s pres- 2009 under then-Gov.

erally subsidized rail line until an updated economic study is conducted. And that may not be completed before she leaves office in less than two months. That means the project’s fate could be in her successor’s hands. In Seattle, new Mayor Mike McGinn is threatening to hold up construction of a massive highway tunnel to replace the waterfront’s dilapidated, earthquake-damaged Alaskan Way Viaduct because he fears city taxpayers will be on the hook if costs spiral beyond the $4.2 billion price tag. “The issue of the overall cost of the tunnel has been a concern to voters since before the recession, and I think the severity of the state’s and the city’s fiscal situation is causing people to take a harder look at ... an expensive and risky project,” McGinn said. In Wisconsin, Ohio and California, Republican candidates for governor have vowed they won’t endorse high-speed rail projects, despite the promise of billions of dollars from Washington. In the United States, it often takes a catastrophe to give infrastructure improvements more urgency. The Minneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 that killed 13 people prompted reviews of aging bridges around the country. “Unfortunately, our attention span is short,” Leonard said. “You would think the Minneapolis bridge collapse would have sent repercussions throughout the system that would have resulted in a transportation funding bill, but it didn’t. Even bridge funding bills didn’t get through Congress.” Consultant Norman Anderson of CG/LA Infrastructure said the federal government’s recent emphasis on smaller, “shovelready” projects to stimulate the economy is misguided and shows a lack of vision. “You don’t do ‘shovel-ready.’ That is idiotic and extremely uninformed,” he said in an e-mail. “You do projects now because they produce value for an economy 20 to 30 years into the future, as well as producing immediate jobs.”

Ready to tear into the quarry floor is the Sandvik DX800, a surface, tophammer drill.

The Sandvik DI600, a hydraulic, self-contained, crawler-based drilling rig, shows off its capabilities.

Sandvik Showcases New Equipment at Eureka Stone Quarry in Eastern Pa. Sandvik Mining and Construction gave customers and operators an opportunity to get an up close look at its latest equipment as it held the Sandvik in North America Construction 2010 event Oct. 19 and 20 Eureka Stone Quarry in Rushland, Pa. Kemper Equipment was instrumental making the smoothly run event a reality after receiving a call from Sandvik Mining and Construction U.S. Vice President Jeff Heinemann. “We only had six weeks to put it together when I got Jeff’s call,” said Gary

Donecker, president of Kemper Equipment. “But I knew I had the perfect place in mind to hold the event. Eureka Stone’s a great, family-run business and they were a huge help to us in making the whole thing happen.” While the live demonstration in the quarry’s bed featured Sandvik equipment drilling, breaking, crushing and screening, the event also provided a chance for Sandvik representatives to discuss the sometimes overlooked support system the company has in place to help its customers and operators get the maximum use from its equipment. Sandvik had full, multi-media displays of its aftermarket offerings and capabilities available — complete with Sandvik representatives offering further details —throughout the two-day event.

Making its North American debut, the Sandvik BR4099 breaker quickly reduces a boulder to far smaller rocks.

The QA140 single screen box screener, the most compact member of Sandvik’s QA series, displays its versatility for use in large and small spaces.

After the equipment demos, Sandvik representatives were busy answering questions and listening to comments from attendees. The crushing demonstration became a flurry of activity as Sandvik simultaneously had three crushers in actions.

The inside of the event tent was filled with multi-media display highlighting the Sandvik aftermarket offerings and capabilities available.

Sandvik’s GH330 is put to use, showing it can meet specific crushing quality demands.

Attendees to the two-day event walk around the rubble left behind from the demonstrations as they examine the latest Sandvik equipment on display.

It had previously been known as John Deere Credit. “John Deere Financial remains committed to providing products and services that help customers, dealers and others succeed around the world,” said Jim Israel, president of Deere & Company’s Worldwide Financial Services Division. An example of this growth, he said, came earlier this year when Deere established John Deere Insurance Company to strengthen the company’s position in the crop insurance industry. “When we made the decision to expand our presence in the crop insurance industry, we realized that our name need-

ed to change to encompass our expanding range of financial products and services,” Israel said. “The new name more accurately reflects our strong commitment to meet the diverse business needs of our customers, dealers and other distributors around the world.” John Deere Financial will continue to serve equipment customers worldwide by offering retail, wholesale and lease financing to facilitate the sale of John Deere equipment in agriculture, construction, forestry, and turf care. The company also will continue to provide revolving credit and crop insurance for customers while assessing other products that could help customers whose work is linked to the land.

Since entering the crop insurance market in 2005, John Deere has leveraged its expertise in agriculture to help customers obtain insurance protection against yield and price loss of their crops. “Crop insurance is just one of the complementary financial services we offer to help our customers meet their business needs,” Israel said. “Our new name provides us with an opportunity to better represent the broad range of financial services that we provide.” The transition to the new name will take place over the next few months at various locations with signage at the division’s headquarters in Johnston being the first to change.

All Caisson Foundation Highlights New Western Pa. Bridge

Joseph B. Fay employs a Komatsu PC300LC-6 to take down the top of the back wall at Abutment #1.

Joseph B. Fay uses a Grove RT 500C to set reinforcement into the drilled shaft. The rigging on top prevents the cage from racking while being set.

BRIDGE from page 1

relocation of existing on/off ramps. The design also encompasses the construction of a parkn-ride in the infield where the old ramps were previously located. “The rockers that support the beams on the old bridge were in bad shape,” said Tim Acken, inspector-in-charge of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT). “The bridge deck had been overlaid and patched more than once.” During construction, the shoulders are being widened on SR 19, SR 422 and the ramps built to accommodate lane shifts. One northbound and one southbound lane of traffic are being maintained on SR 19 by shifting traffic to the widened shoulders. Floodlights are used during nighttime construction. While working on the ramps, flaggers are maintaining traffic. During bridge demolition and beam placement, traffic will be stopped on SR 19 and SR 422 for periods of 20 minutes. Joseph B. Fay Company has been in the construction business for more than 50 years and is now in its third generation of operation. As the prime contractor, Fay is performing the bridge demolition and rebuild, drainage and embankments. Pennsylvania subcontractors include Moretrench of Monroeville for drilled caissons, and Steel Core Construction Inc. of Jeannette for tying steel. IA Construction Corp., based in Zelienople, Pa., is in charge of sub-base and paving. Protection Services Inc., headquartered in Harrisburg, was hired for traffic control, and Penn Line Service Inc. of Scottdale, Pa., is providing guide rails. PennDOT has been working closely with local business to ensure full access during business hours. Traffic was temporarily shut down at night to remove the beams from the existing bridge. During the daytime, the speed limit has been reduced to 45 mph and the traffic lanes are under 11-ft. wide restrictions.

Self-consolidating concrete material goes in the tube, travels to the bottom of the caisson and forces the material back up around the sides.

The black tubes are filled with water for testing the integrity of the caisson. A transmitter is dropped in one and a receiver in the other, then they are retrieved at the same time and the results are analyzed.

Fay is excavating 15,000 cu. yds. (11,468 cu m) of earth and pavement and is using as much as possible for the new embankment. An environmental permit allows Fay to place the waste in the infield areas. Excavation equipment includes a Komatsu 300 excavator, a Volvo 210 excavator, a JCB 215 backhoe, and two Caterpillar dozers, models D5 and D6. Other Fay equipment: a 28-ton (25 t) Grove rough-terrain crane, an 84-in. (213 cm) Ingersoll Rand smooth drum roller, and a 32-in. (81.3 cm) Mikasa walk-behind roller. Fay rented a grader from IA Construction, and also rented a JLG 400S 40-ft. telescopic aerial lift from All Crane of West Elizabeth, Pa. The new bridge calls for 350 yds. (320 m) of AAA concrete for the decks, 230 yds. (210 m) for parapets and approaches, and 610 cu. yds. (466.4 cu m) of A-class for facings and substructure. Titusville Steel is providing 141,000 lbs. (63,956.5 kg) of steel. “This project was designed a little different from traditional bridge projects,” said Ryan Wagner, project engineer of Joseph B. Fay. “Most bridges are built on spread footers with H-piles driven into bedrock. McConnells Mills foundation is all caissons.” Wagner said that this design was chosen to save money, as a traditional bridge design would have required a great deal of shoring. Fay currently has 10 crew members on the job, working five 8-hour day shifts. This area of Pennsylvania is known for another McConnells Mills Bridge just a couple of miles away. Built in 1874, McConnells Mill Covered Bridge spans Slippery Rock Creek in McConnells Mill State Park. The park is a popular place for picnicking, climbing, rappelling and fishing.

Pa. Companies Aid in Rescue of 33 Trapped Chilean Miners RESCUE from page 1

to cooperate in their own interests. Thus under the leadership of Urzua and without knowing when or even if they would be rescued, the men stretched two or three days’ supply of food for more than two weeks, limiting themselves to a cracker and minute amounts of tuna and peaches every two days. Although they were unable to run it too long because of the likelihood of contaminating their air, the miners used a bulldozer to access a pocket of water, having also drunk water from the radiators of equipment entombed with them. Since the miners could not be reached from the surface and their whereabouts was initially unknown, boreholes were drilled in an effort of find them. Four T685WS exploration rigs manufactured by West Chester, Pa.-based Schramm Inc. were among nine used in these attempts. The rigs concerned are owned by Chilean drillers Adviser Drilling, Geotec Boyles Bros S.A., Major Drilling S.A., and Terraservice. All four companies work in the mineral exploration industry. Although this drilling began on Aug. 8, it was not until Aug. 22 that Terraservice’s T685WS drill reached the trapped miners. A note from the men written in red ink announcing they were well subsequently came up attached to the drill. Three boreholes of 5.5 in. (14 cm) diameter drilled by this rig and others of the same model were used to lower food, LED lights, water and similar supplies in 5 ft. long (1.5 m) plastic containers the miners dubbed pigeons or doves. Medications were provided by this route for three miners with health problems — Gomez has silicosis, Jose Ojeda suffers from diabetes, and Jorge Galleguillos, who is one of 14 brothers and has hypertension. However, Claudio Yanez was reportedly not pleased when instead of requested cigarettes he was sent nicotine patches. Communication with the outside world was facilitated via streaming video, a camera having been lowered to the men the day they were located. To reach the men, a narrow shaft was bored for the escape capsule, a task made more difficult because the shaft began at an angle before plunging vertically due to the necessity of curving its path to

avoid dangerous areas. The majority of the shaft passed through solid rock and in addition, once the shaft was drilled, to guard against the possibility of blockage it was necessary to close off fractured rock at its upper end. The first 165 ft. (55 m) were therefore lined and strengthened with steel casing. Three simultaneous drilling operations were undertaken to reach the men. Plan A involved a Strata 950 drilling rig run by Cemetation Canada Inc. South African mining company Murray & Roberts was already operating the rig in Chile and it was the first to begin boring an escape shaft. Due to the method of operation the miners had to clear away drilling debris in round-theclock shifts and it has been estimated they moved up to 771 tons 700 t) in this fashion. Plan C used a RIG-421 oil drilling rig. It, too, was already in Chile, but had previously only been used for oil exploration. Another Canadian company, Precision Drilling Corporation, ran the rig, brought to the mine in 40 trucks and assembled on site. While it was able to drill a shaft wide enough for the escape capsule immediately rather than having to make a borehole and enlarge it, at one point the drill size had to be reduced, causing a delay in operations. The Plan B team succeeded in reaching the miners first, and two Pennsylvania companies played vital roles in the daunting rescue task. One of the supply boreholes drilled by Geotec Boyles Bros S.A. on Aug. 27 became Plan B’s escape shaft. For the job, Geotec used a truck-mounted Schramm T685WS reverse circulation rig with a 750 hp onboard 500 psi air compressor. The job involved enlarging the 5.5 in. diameter tunnel to a 12-in. (30.5 cm) diameter and then to 28 in. (71 cm), using a Schramm T130XD self-propelled mobile drilling rig. Special measures were needed in order to accomplish the task and drilling tool manufacturer Center Rock Inc., of Berlin, Pa., designed and manufactured the two drill systems involved. “We contacted the Chilean government when we heard about the accident, quickly designed a drilling program using our equipment, and proposed it to the

within reach, he presented the president with a rock signed by all the miners. The fourth man to appear was Carlos Mamani, the only Bolivian in the group. He had emigrated from Bolivia with 10 siblings due to lack of work. Other miners brought up included Omar Reygadas, who became a greatgrandfather for he fourth time while underground, Franklin Lobos, who played on Chile’s soccer team when it qualified for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, Richard Villarroel, an expectant father, Raul Bustos, a hydraulics engineer who had been in charge of the miners' water supply, and Jose Henriquez, who organized a prayer group underground. The last miner to come to the surface was shift supervisor Luis Urzua, followed by several rescuers who had descended into the mine to help the men get into the capsule. Initially it had been thought the rescue would take until Christmas to accomplish, but within 24 hours of breakthrough the seemingly impossible mission had been completed at an estimated cost of between $10 to $20 million.

While there was always the possibility of disasters such as the capsule being trapped by rock fall in the shaft, the main concern once the men began their journey to safety was whether they could cope with the extremely confined space in the capsule. With two-way communication and a camera broadcasting from inside it, the plan was that should signs of panic appear, the speed of extraction could be increased to as much as 10 ft. (3 m) a second, but fortunately the entire operation was carried out without the need to do so. Finally, about 10 minutes into Oct. 13, after a record 69 days underground, Florencio Avalos was the first miner rescued. He hugged his wife and son, and then embraced Chilean President Sebastian Pinera, who was closely involved in rescue efforts. Avalos’ brother Renan was the 25th to be rescued. Mario Sepulveda emerged second. His natural ebullience endeared him to many following the saga, and he did not so much emerge from the capsule as erupt from it. After hugging his wife, President Pinera, and anyone else

About the Companies Schramm Inc. is headquartered in West Chester, Pa. Founded in 1900, it manufactured air compressors and engine-driven machinery. The company, which now has 165 employees, was a pioneer in air flush drilling and built the first mobile drilling rigs 60 years ago. Building about 100 rigs a year, it specializes in mobile rigs, focusing on mineral, oil and gas, exploration and water wells, as well as an increasing number of mine rescues worldwide. It was named 2010 member company of the year by the World Trade Center of Greater Philadelphia. Center Rock Inc., was founded in 1998. The company assisted in a similar rescue in July 2002, when it helped free nine men trapped for three days in a flooded mine not far from its headquarters in Berlin, Pa. In the past five years, Center Rock has grown from 16 to more than 70 employees. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Mining Ministry. Fortunately they accepted our proposal and it was put into action as Plan B,” said Brandon Fisher, president of Center Rock Inc. The two companies cooperated closely during the drilling, with Fisher in daily communication from Chile with Greg Hillier, product manager of Schramm. Richard Soppe, Center Rock’s director of construction and mining tools, also was in Chile. He and Fisher were on site for 37 days, supervising the operation and maintenance of the

Schramm drill, which was fitted first with a Center Rock 5.5 in. by 12 in. (14 by 30.5 cm) DHD Hammer drill bit, changing to a 12in. by 28-in. (30.5 by 71 cm) LP bit as work progressed on enlarging the borehole. Schramm also worked with Jim Stefanic, Geotec’s mine site operations manager, and sent its field service engineer Jeff Roten to Chile to ensure the T130XD drill performed to its highest level in round-the-clock operations. The 12-in. diameter borehole reached the miners on Sept. 18, after a delay due to severe damage to the drilling bit caused by a steel bolt in the mine roof at 879 ft. (268 m). In addition to repairing the bit, the crew had to remove the bolt and the broken bit, using makeshift tools created on site. Drilling to enlarge the borehole commenced on Sept. 19. By Sept. 23, the drill was 364 ft. (110 m) down. Five days later, it had reached 987 ft. (301 m), having safely passed through the area where it had encountered the bolt. By Oct. 4, the drill had reached 1,532 ft. (467 m) and on Oct. 9, more than two months after the

collapse, drilling ended at a depth of 2,041 ft. (622 m). Finally, on Oct. 13, the rescue capsule, having passed its test runs with flying colors, began its first journey to the bottom of the rescue shaft. Painted white, red, and blue — the colors of Chile's flag — the 13-ft. (4 m) long steel cage was the biggest of three constructed by Chilean Navy engineers. The capsules were named after the Phoenix, a legendary bird said to rise again from its own funeral pyre.

PEORIA, Illinois (AP) Caterpillar’s plans to acquire German engine maker MWM Holding GmbH should invigorate its engine division and help the world’s largest maker of mining and construction equipment continue to grow. Caterpillar Inc. said Oct. 22 that it would pay private-equity firm 3i approximately $810 million in cash for MWM. Caterpillar said the deal will help it significantly expand options for customers of its electric power division. MWM, which stands for MotorenWerke Mannheim, specializes in combustion engines for natural gas, special gases and diesel. “This is a natural complement to Caterpillar’s existing diesel and gas power generation business and demonstrates our commitment to continued investment in sustainable products and industries,” Caterpillar CEO Doug Oberhelman said. Toon van Beeck, a senior analyst with IBISWorld, said the MWM deal should help Caterpillar strengthen its

competitive position in the engine market, especially in developed countries where emissions restrictions are tougher. Van Beeck said MWM may see stronger demand for its products because of the alternative fuels it offers besides diesel. The MWM acquisition came a day after Caterpillar of Peoria, Ill., reported strong profits for the third quarter and raised its outlook for 2010. The deal also should help Caterpillar meet its ambitious goals for improving revenue and profitability in the next two years. The maker of yellow-and-black equipment has said it expects to generate revenue approaching $50 billion in 2011. Caterpillar expects to keep growing that figure in 2012 to between $55 billion and $60 billion. Caterpillar also has set a goal of growing its annual earnings per share by 15 percent to 20 percent to deliver earnings per share of $8 to $10 in 2012. Those goals are significantly higher than the $3.80 to $4 earnings per share

and $41 billion to $42 billion revenue Caterpillar expects this year. Caterpillar is spending money on several projects to increase production capacity, and earlier this year it acquired locomotive maker ElectroMotive Diesel. Caterpillar has announced expansion projects at several of its U.S. plants and in China and Brazil. Plus the company plans to build new plants in Victoria, Texas, and Winston-Salem, N.C. Van Beeck said Caterpillar may make additional acquisitions because it has a significant amount of cash available. Caterpillar said it had $2.3 billion in cash at the end of September. “There’s certainly opportunities to snap up other companies out there,” van Beeck said. Caterpillar said private-equity firm 3i would see a rate of return in excess of 25 percent for its three-year investment in MWM. The acquisition is expected to close in the coming months, pending regulatory approval.

Crews Break Ground on Boy Scouts Adventure Camp in West Virginia By John Raby

ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) More than $100 million has been donated toward construction of a Boy Scouts of America adventure camp and the permanent home of the group’s national jamboree in southern West Virginia, Scouts officials announced Oct. 22. Ground was broken on the 10,600acre project in Fayette County between Glen Jean, Prince and Mount Hope. The camp will take advantage of the New River Gorge National River and the area’s recreational opportunities, including whitewater rafting, mountain biking and rock climbing. Bob Mazzuca, the national organization’s chief scout executive, said the project’s roads, water and sewer development and lake will cost $170 million to build and would be completed in time to host the national jamboree from July 15 to 24, 2013. The Scouts’ 100th anniversary was marked at this year’s jamboree in Fort

A.P. Hill, Va. The jamboree attracts nearly 30,000 Scouts from around the United States and 12,000 staff and volunteers. It will take an additional $300 million to build permanent facilities for the adventure camp portion of the park and that’s expected to be completed by 2014, Mazzuca said. The camp will complement existing Scout adventure bases in Minnesota, New Mexico and Florida. The camp also will be a contender to host the 2019 World Scout Jamboree, which is held every four years. The event will be held in Sweden in 2011 and in Japan in 2015. Scout officials plan to travel to Brazil for a world conference in January to officially seek the 2019 event. “We’re going down there with the full-court press on,” Mazzuca said. “I fully anticipate we’re going to win the bid, but we won’t appear too confident.” Retired engineering and construc-

tion magnate Stephen Bechtel Jr. kicked off the project a year ago with a $50 million gift. The camp is being called The Summit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. Among the additional gifts announced Oct. 22 was a $25 million donation from the Suzanne and Walter Scott Foundation of Omaha, Neb. Walter Scott Jr., former CEO of Omaha-based construction contractor Peter Kiewit Sons’ Inc., said his success in business had its roots in the Boy Scouts. “I enjoyed the opportunity to learn new things, I enjoyed the camaraderie with my fellow Scouts, and I especially enjoyed the camping,” Scott said. “The love and respect for the outdoors and our natural environment that Scouting instilled in me continues to this day.” More than $20 million in construction contracts have been awarded on the project, which is expected to generate 600 jobs.

New Farmington Bridge to Be Named After Fire Chief Middlesex Brings $20.8M Project in on Time, Budget; Ceremony Dedicates Bridge By Jay Adams

CEG CORRESPONDENT

In April, in a gesture that was symbolic, appropriate and moving, representatives of the Farmington Fire Department embedded Vincent DiPietro’s shield into the wet concrete of the span of the bridge that will forever bear his name. The $20.8 million Vincent DiPietro Memorial Bridge soon will be finished and, a few days later, dedicated to the man who dedicated his own life to protecting the citizens of Farmington. New sheet aluminum will be added to the sides holding a plaque, identifying the bridge after DiPietro in a November ceremony. Family, friends and colleagues — who, by the dozens, urged the state to rename the old bridge that carried Route 4 over the Farmington River — will attend the event. On Time and at Budget The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) Route 4 Bridge project was awarded on March 14, 2008 to Middlesex Corporation of Littleton, Mass., and it began 10 days later. It is being finished on schedule, just as Mr. DiPietro would have liked. The estimated original cost was $20.2 million, according to Project Engineer Christopher Zukowski. The estimated actual cost comes in only slightly higher at $20.8 million.

Wider Bridge for Traffic According to the ConnDOT White Paper, Project 51257/262 includes the complete replacement of the Route 4 Bridge over the Farmington River as well as capacity and safety improvements to the Route 4 intersection at Town Farm Road. Town Farm Road is the entrance road to the Tunxis see BRIDGE page 54

Plantation golf courses, and the Farmington Club banquet and meeting facility. The original structure was built in 1955 and was approximately 400 by 38 ft. (121.9 by 11.5 m) wide and consisted of four simple supported reinforced concrete deck spans. The existing bridge only carried one lane of traffic in each direction, and was considered hydraulically inadequate since it was unable to allow river flow during a 100-year storm event to pass beneath it. The average annual daily traffic on this section of Route 4 is 23,900 vehicles per day (2008 estimated). The new bridge also is 400-ft. (121.9 m) long, but is 58 ft. (17.6 m) wide and provides capacity improvements such as an additional travel lane in the eastbound direction, shoulder widths and new pedestrian sidewalks in both directions. New pedestrian overlooks also have been constructed on both the north and south sides of the bridge. The pedestrian overlooks are accessible from the sidewalks on the bridge and include benches for public use. There is an existing parking lot immediately adjacent to the bridge, which provided limited access to the Farmington River. As part of this project, the parking area has been made larger and a new handicap accessible fishing pier has been constructed. This provides enhanced public access to the river. The new access road to this area was widened and realigned to provide safer access to and from the area. Concrete form liners have been used on the outside of the abutment stem walls, and along the inside and outside of the wing walls to provide a northeast dry stack stonewall pattern. Form liners also were used on the deck overhang fascias and to provide a weathered limestone look. The weathered limestone pattern also was used at the pedestrian overlooks and to construct 4-ft. high concrete pedestals along the north and south sidewalks across the bridge. The pedestals support new decorative light standards that were put in place in September. Intersection improvements at the Town Farm Road intersection include new turning lanes on Route 4 in both the eastbound and westbound directions. These will shelter traffic turning from Route 4 onto Town Farm Road while providing continuity in the Route 4 through traffic lanes. Working With Community Extensive landscaping is being provided along the entire length of the project from the Town Farm Road intersection at the west end of the project to the east side of the Farmington River at the east end of the proj-

ect. The bridge crosses the Farmington River within an area of concern relative to Connecticut’s Natural Diversity Data Base. The Wildlife Division of the Bureau of Natural Resources had indicated the presence of fresh water mussels within the limits of permanent and temporary environmental impact areas. The contract included provisions to relocate various freshwater mussel species prior to the start of construction. Although the public might have been frustrated with traffic congestion, unwanted noise and day-to-day disruptions, residents and local businesses are pleased with the appearance of the final product of the new bridge structure. “The decorative form liners; wide publicfriendly sidewalks; decorative overlooks, complete with benches and quaint bridge lighting all combine to create a bridge that we can all be proud to have in our community,” according to ConnDOT. “We, the project team, DOT and contractor, worked closely together to schedule the

operations to make the least impact on the community. Through open communication with select residents, we informed them ahead of time of our operations (which might affect them),” added Zukowski. “This dialogue eased their frustration. The gesture on our part showed them that we cared and this went a long way in keeping the peace. We utilized changeable message boards posted on either side of the work zone to alert motorists to upcoming stage changes as well as other unexpected activities. All announcements were posted on our ConnDOT website, as well.” The town of Farmington was incorporated in 1645. Known as the “Mother Town,” Farmington was partitioned into the towns of Avon, Bristol, Plainville, New Britain,

Berlin, Southington, and Burlington. Today, Farmington comprises 28.7 sq. mi. along the Farmington River. It is a residential suburb in the Hartford Metropolitan area that has retained its distinctive character through maintenance of its historic districts and careful land use planning for the future. Route 4 is one of the major arteries in Farmington, perhaps the most direct route to I-84. I-84 is a major East-West interstate highway that services Hartford as well as Waterbury to Danbury, Conn. Tricky Sewer Work Zukowski said that a most interesting aspect of the project was, “The close proximity, upstream, of an existing sanitary sewer siphon line under the river that serves

as a main trunk line to the sewage treatment facility nearby. Peak flows were estimated at 9 million gallons per day. To avoid an environmental disaster, the designers determined that the use of vibratory equipment would not be allowed. “The concern was liquefaction of the granular soils in the streambed which could force displacement of the 24-inch and 18inch concrete sewer pipes, under the river. The result: Impact driving of all temporary trestle piles, sheet piling for cofferdams and permanent 12-inch steel piles utilizing an APE D19 diesel hammer,” Zukowski continued. “This operation was not only slower than vibratory, but noisy as well. The noise was the larger concern given the close proximity of neighbors, and extended (contractor mandated) work hours during the environmental window forced some pile installation to occur during the night time hours.” As a result of this tricky section of underwater construction, the contractor was forced to leave behind approximately 2,600 linear ft. of 24-inch round steel piles in the river during the Stage 1 trestle removal since without the use of vibratory equipment they could not break free the piles. “They attempted (it) with the use of pneumatic extractor, to no avail,” added Zukowski. see BRIDGE page 68

GDP, Structures Investment Grow; Construction Prices, Compensation Costs Rise Real (net of inflation) gross domestic product increased 2.0 percent in the third quarter of 2010 at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, up from 1.7 percent in the second quarter, according to the advance estimate by the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Real investment in private nonresidential structures rose 3.9 percent after falling for eight straight quarters. Real residential investment slumped 29 percent, after rising 26 percent in the second quarter, reflecting the end of the homebuyer tax credit in April. Real government investment in structures rose 8.8 percent, following a 9.0 percent second-quarter gain, boosted by federal spending on stimulus projects, military base realignment and Gulf Coast hurricane recovery and preparation. The price indexes for the three types of investment rose at seasonally adjusted annual rates of 2.6 percent for private nonresidential, minus 0.5 percent for residential, and 1.9 percent for government structures. The employment cost index, a quarterly gauge of pay and benefits costs, rose 0.5 percent for all civilian workers in the third quarter, not seasonally adjusted (up from 0.4 percent in the second quarter), and 1.9 percent over the past four quarters, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported. The index for construction compensation costs climbed 0.4 percent for the quarter (up from 0.2 percent) and 1.2 percent over four quarters. The index for construction wages and salaries also increased 0.4 percent for the quarter (up from 0.1 percent) and 0.9 percent for the year. (BLS does not break out benefits by industry.) Construction employment fell from September 2009 to September 2010 in 236 of 337 metro areas for which BLS data is available, increased in 56 and was constant in 45, an AGC analysis showed. The number of metro areas with increases matched the August 2009-2010 total. The BLS numbers are not seasonally adjusted and combine mining and logging with construction in most areas to avoid disclosure of data for industries with few employers. Columbus, Ohio, added more jobs (2,200 combined, 7 percent) than any other metro area while Hanford-Corcoran, Calif. added the highest percentage (33 percent, 300 combined). Other areas adding jobs included Pittsburgh (1,900 construction-only, 3 percent); Bethesda-Rockville-Frederick, M.D. (1,600 combined, 5 percent); Kansas City, Kan. (1,500 combined, 8 percent); and Lawton, Okla. (300 combined, 18 percent). Chicago-Naperville-Joliet lost the most jobs (minus 20,500 construction-only, minus 15 percent). Napa, Calif., lost the highest percentage (minus 33 percent, minus 1,000 combined). Other areas with large declines included Las Vegas-Paradise (minus 13,000 construction-only, minus 22 percent); Los Angeles-Long Beach-Glendale (minus 9,700 construction-only, minus 9 percent); Houston-Sugar Land-Baytown (minus 9,100 construction-only, minus 5 percent); Seattle-Bellevue-Everett (minus 8,500 construction-only, minus 11 percent); and Riverside-San Bernardino-Ontario, Calif. (minus 7,800 construction-only, minus 12 percent). “Reports from the 12 Federal Reserve Districts

suggest that, on balance, national economic activity continued to rise, albeit at a modest pace, during the reporting period from September to early October,” the Fed stated in its October 20 “Beige Book,” a summary of informal soundings of regional business conditions. Districts are referred to by the name of their headquarters cities. With regard to manufacturing, the Fed reported, “Demand for construction-related products remained weak....Future capital spending plans appeared to be limited, except in the St. Louis District where several manufacturers reported plans to build new plants or expand. There were some reports from architectural firms that activity had picked up. Single-family construction activity was at very low levels, but had improved somewhat in the Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City Districts. “Atlanta reported a softening of construction activity overall, and Minneapolis said single-family building activity was mixed across metros. Builders in the Dallas District said they had pulled back on starts considerably after the run-up earlier in the year. Respondents’ outlooks suggested sales and construction would remain subdued through year-end. “There were some reports that tighter credit standards for buyers and small builders, along with general economic uncertainty, were stalling activity. “Conditions in the commercial real estate sector remained subdued. Reports suggested rental rates continued to decline for most commercial property types. The one exception was the apartment sector, where higher leasing activity led to fewer concessions, most notably in Manhattan. “Office, industrial and retail rental markets remained weak, although there were a few reports of slight increases in leasing activity in the Richmond, Chicago and Dallas Districts. Commercial property sales were low overall, but contacts in the Chicago and Dallas Districts said investment demand for distressed commercial properties remained strong. “Given lackluster demand for commercial space, nonresidential construction activity was limited to mostly public projects, according to District reports. Industry contacts appeared to believe that the commercial real estate and construction sectors would remain weak for some time. Commercial real estate lending remained subdued and loan standards were still tight.” Mass layoffs (events involving 50 or more employees of a single employer) declined sharply overall and for construction in September, BLS reported on Oct. 22. The number of events fell 33 percent overall, not seasonally adjusted, from September 2009, and 47 percent for construction. The number of initial claimants for unemployment insurance fell 37 percent overall and 42 percent for construction. The construction industry reported 71,700 fewer nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses in 2009 than in 2008, a 22 percent decline, lowering the incidence rate by 0.4 cases to 4.3 cases per 100 workers, BLS reported on Oct. 21. © Kenneth D.

Donâ€™t know about all you other sports fans out there, but I canâ€™t wait to see what the future holds for us. The Buffalo Bills and the Detroit Lions in the Super Bowl next season? How about the New York Yankees finishing dead last in the AFC East, and/or some guy winning the Daytona 500 in a 1956 Ford Thunderbird? Some no-name golfer on the PGA Tour â€“ maybe Spike McRoy, No. 245 on the official money list â€“ winning two major championships and the 2011 FedExCup (sic) title? Heck, the way things are going, I might even shoot my age on the golf course next summer, and I mean for 18 holes, not just nine. Given whatâ€™s happened lately in the still wide, but now upside-down world of sports, nothing would surprise me. First, the San Francisco 49ers and the Texas Rangers in the World Series. Who wouldâ€™ve believed it? Last season the Rangers finished 10 games behind the Los Angeles Angels in the AL West and the Giants were seven behind the LA Dodgers in the NL West. Both missed the playoffs. And, yes, despite my cousin Billy Bobâ€™s rants last week, I watched some of the World Series with casual interest, but with zero emotion. I lost no sleep over the Giants wrapping up the Series with their 3-1 win over the Rangers in Game 5 Monday night. We also have the Super Bowl favorite Dallas Cowboys wallowing in misery with a 1-6 record. And the Minnesota Vikings, who won the NFC North with a 12-4 record last year, are 2-5. Even the New Orleans Saints (5-3) havenâ€™t consistently looked like a Super Bowl championship team. Then there is Tiger Woods, who is no longer the worldâ€™s No. 1 golfer â€“ itâ€™s now Lee Westwood. Woods had by far the worse year of his golf career, amateur or pro, and probably even his life. Some have predicted that he will never be the same. The ups and downs, though, is why sports are so much fun, especially pro sports. They are about as predictable as roulette. Rangers pitcher Cliff Lee had the Yankees eating out of his hand in the ALCS, then the Giants all but bit off his hand in Game 1 of the series, winning 11-7. There are those who thought, and many still do, that the Bills would be much better off playing in the Big East instead of the AFC East. Then those doormats went to Baltimore and Kansas City last Sunday and couldâ€™ve won both games in overtime, but

lost to the Ravens, 37-34, and the Chiefs, 13-10. As Iâ€™ve said ad nauseam, itâ€™s not how good you are, itâ€™s how good you are today. Therefore, anything can happen at anytime on any playing field, and you gotta love it when it does. Meanwhile, thereâ€™s also a downside to recent sports news, but let me make one thing perfectly clear: I love Notre Dame football. Canâ€™t remember when I didnâ€™t. But, why in the name of Knute Rockne did Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly let Declan Sullivan go up some 30 feet on a scissor lift to video the teamâ€™s practice session last week when the wind was gusting more than 50 mph? As you know, the lift blew over and the 20-year-old student was killed. And, it has been reported that under Indiana law, Notre Dame could face as much as a $60 million penalty. The question that should be answered is, did it ever enter Kellyâ€™s mind â€“ or at least somebodyâ€™s mind! â€“ the risk that young man was taking? Of course, he expressed remorse to the media and the Sullivan family. And the Sullivans told the media they were grateful â€œfor the consideration shown to us by the Notre Dame administration and everyone associated with the university.â€? Kelly reportedly said he did not know why Sullivan was allowed to go up on the lift or why someone didnâ€™t tell him to come down when the wind picked up. It is recommended â€“ warned? â€“ that hydraulic scissor lifts should not be operated when the wind is in excess of 20 to 28 mph. We will never know, and no, this is NOT an accusation, but I hope football mentality wasnâ€™t the reason Sullivan wasnâ€™t told to either not go up and to get down. That is, this team has a 4-5 record and is struggling and we need to get better, therefore itâ€™s important that we be able to review our practice sessions. Focus is a valuable tool, but so is awareness and had there been, Declan Sullivan would probably still be alive.

Experts Say End of Jersey’s Tunnel Project Hurts Region; Others Disagree By Chris Hawley and Geoff Mulvihill ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) When he killed the construction of a new rail line to New York under the Hudson River, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie saved his state’s taxpayers at least $3 billion. But at a cost, critics say — specifically, 44,000 jobs that might have been created, 22,000 cars left on the highway and an unrealized $30,000 bonus in real estate value for every New Jersey home located near a train stop. “It really would have been a transformative project for land use in New Jersey,” said Peter Kasabach, executive director of New Jersey Future, a group that promotes sustainable growth. “It would have set the tone for the next 50 to 100 years.” Other urban experts said the region will do fine without the tunnel, which at $9 billion to $14 billion was the nation’s most expensive public works project. New Jersey is far less dependent on New York City for jobs than it was decades ago, urban planning expert James Hughes said. “Some of the dire forecasts that not having that new tunnel is going to bring economic calamity are a bit overstated,” said Hughes, the dean of Rutgers University’s Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Besides the anticipated new jobs and cars that wouldn’t have clogged rush-hour traffic, the tunnel would have eliminated 67,000 tons of car exhaust a year, officials said. It also would have jump-started stalled development projects to renovate New York’s Penn Station and build office space nearby, they said. Planners are pushing for the massive renovation and a residential and office complex to be built over rail yards on the Hudson riverbank. “Everything gets impacted by this,” said Richard Anderson, president of the New York Building Congress, which represents design and construction firms. “This goes to the heart of not only our capacity, but our will to do major projects.” Christie, a rising star of the Republican Party, said he’s trying to get his debt-ridden state to hew to fiscal reality. So after rejecting offers of more federal help that he said didn’t go far enough, he pulled New Jersey out of its $3 billion commitment, scrapping the project. He said that he wanted to invest more money in New Jersey’s intrastate transportation system, but that other partners would have to chip in more. “If it’s to benefit the region,” he said. “Then the region has to pay — not just New Jersey.” The federal government and Port Authority of New York and New Jersey each committed $3 billion and New Jersey $2.7 billion plus cost overruns, which were estimated to be somewhere between $1 billion and $5 billion. Construction began last year, but Christie halted it when he first considered ending the project. Politicians have become increasingly wary of committing to multibillion-dollar public works, said Barry LePatner, author of a book about the aging infrastructure in the United States Other projects in doubt include a train system in Hawaii, high-speed rail lines in the Midwest and a highway tunnel to replace the earthquake-damaged Alaskan Way Viaduct in Seattle. “We are facing a crisis,” LePatner said. “If we hope to maintain our No. 1 position in the world we cannot let fur-

ther deterioration of our infrastructure continue.” The real culprits, LePatner said, are construction firms that go billions of dollars over budget. In New Jersey, commuters and the businesses near train stations said they were disappointed. “It certainly would benefit me, because more trains means more people using mass transit instead of driving to the city,” said Darrel Young, who owns a convenience store near the Long Branch station. “More mass transit riders means more people in the area, and hopefully they’ll stop by for coffee, food, whatever.” In Westfield, a bedroom community west of Manhattan, real estate agent Harvey Tekel said he had hoped the new tunnel would ease congestion and allow New Jersey Transit to start direct trains from his town to Manhattan. The train line that runs through town currently terminates in Newark, where Manhattan-bound riders have to change trains. When the rail authorities introduced a direct train in nearby Short Hills, housing values soared, he said. “Town by town, these places become much more desirable when the commute becomes better,” Tekel said. Already, a bridge, a system of ferry boats, two tunnels for cars and two for trains connect New Jersey and Manhattan, carrying 360,000 New York-bound commuters during the morning rush. Experts say that all those modes of transport now accommodate about as many people as they can. With an additional tunnel, there could be twice as many passengers on the NJT trains. New Jersey Future’s Kasabach fears if the federal money once committed to the project is instead spent on rail lines to improve connections to Manhattan from Long Island and its northern suburbs, it could put New Jersey at a further disadvantage for attracting residents and businesses. Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer sent a letter to federal Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood asking for the federal government’s share of the tunnel cost to be used instead for other projects to improve train and subway service in the city. Rutgers’ Hughes cautioned that the sunny projections about how many more jobs could be created by a transHudson tunnel might be inflated. Many of them predate the Great Recession that began in 2007, he said. A few generations ago, New Jersey’s dependence on New York City for jobs was much greater. In 1950, Hughes said, New York City had more than twice as many jobs as New Jersey. Now, New Jersey has more. And, he said, plenty of new jobs in Manhattan might be in areas that aren’t easily accessible from a new station on West 34th Street near Penn Station, where the tunnel would have emerged. One of the busier New Jersey stations is in Asbury Park, an old resort town that’s been trying desperately to redevelop. Mayor Ed Johnson said he can feel the commuters’ pain. He spent a decade traveling daily from Asbury Park to New York for work and his partner still does, catching a train that leaves before 6 a.m. and not getting home until after 8 p.m. Still, he said, he agrees with Christie’s decision to stop the tunnel project now, deeming it unaffordable. He said his community will still work on “transit villages” putting housing close to the station. But now, he said, they’ll be geared more toward people whose train commutes stay in New Jersey.

Plus, since we have set-back front axles, the wheel cut is fantastic. We can get in and out of tight delivery areas in one move versus having to make a three-point turn as we once did with set-forward configurations. Visibility out of the trucks also is critical and we don’t think there is a better truck out there that offers visibility like the T800. The sharply sloped hood gives us great forward visibility while the door and side windows give us excellent vision along the side of the truck.” Mosley said the Kenworth T800 advantages are well-known around his region. “We never have a problem selling our Kenworths — they’re in high demand. And we’ve found we can command an additional $5,000 for our trucks versus competitive models with like specs. It’s proved to us that quality pays.” For more information, visit lighter www.kenworth.com.

DuraClass recently added an aluminum dump body to its line of Class 5-8 truck bodies. The corrosion-resistant aluminum design eliminates paint expense and increases body value at trade-in. Aluminum weighs up to 50 percent less than traditional steel, increasing payload capacity, minimizing fuel consumption and improving truck life, according to the manufacturer. The DuraClass aluminum body is available with additional features including upper and lower tarp rails, integrated cab shields, ladders and patch gates. A double arm hoist offers stability and durability.

This bracelet was a gift Amber Apodoca received from the center where she helped teens with drug and alcohol problems. She was wearing it when an underage drunk driver took her life.

Federal Government’s CSA2010 Raises Importance of Truck Maintenance This fall, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will implement the Comprehensive Safety Analysis 2010 (CSA 2010) program, which includes more stringent penalties for violations. This program will make truck maintenance even more important, according to Dick Von Lehman, Kenworth PremierCare national sales manager of service. “Under CSA 2010, truck drivers will now receive points on their record for such things as leaky wheel seals or other minor defects,” Von Lehman noted. “As a result, drivers will have an extra incentive to have their PM work and additional repairs done on the road at a Kenworth dealership. The Kenworth dealership offers the advantage of being able to perform warranty work and any other repair, helping to eliminate potential inspection infractions.” Proper truck maintenance can help reduce downtime and prevent costly repairs. Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube Service is available for heavy and medium duty trucks at par-

ticipating Kenworth dealers in the United States and Canada. The service offers a four-filter oil change, complete chassis lube and 20-point vehicle inspection. The inspection includes a check of belts, hoses, tires, wheels, springs, U-bolts, bushings, shocks, brake lining and components, exhaust system mounting, fluid levels, instrument gauges, lights, reflectors, glass, mirrors and horns. “Kenworth PremierCare ExpressLube Service assists customers in keeping their trucks well-maintained and only takes about an hour,” said Von Lehman. “This convenient Kenworth dealer service helps customers get back on the road quickly.” In addition, Kenworth PremierCare Preventive Maintenance enables fleets to focus on running their primary business, instead of managing a maintenance facility. The program, which is open to any heavy and medium duty truck brand, provides convenient maintenance service through more than 300 Kenworth dealers in the United States and Canada.

Kenworth PremierCare also offers other services. Kenworth PremierCare Express Air Conditioning Service features a 27-point inspection and includes a complete evacuation and recharge of the air conditioning system, receiver/drier replacement, up to five pounds of R134a refrigerant, and compressor oil top-off. Kenworth PremierCare Connect (www.kenworthconnect.com) streamlines parts ordering by electronically linking customers with their preferred Kenworth dealer. The program is offered in three versions — WebConnect, Connect Professional and Connect Enterprise. The Kenworth PremierCare Customer Center (1-800-KWASSIST) is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The customer center handles emergency roadside assistance calls and schedules service for preventive maintenance customers, among other services. No registration fee is required.
