With completion expected in 2027, the nearly $4 billion Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel (HRBT) Expansion Project continues making headlines as the largest highway construction project in Virginia’s history. Most recently, officials have been celebrating the major milestones reached in 2025.
“It was the biggest and most meaningful year to date,” said Ryan Banas, HRBT Expansion project director. “We completed mining the twin tunnels,
setting records for daily production rates for a tunnel boring machine [TBM] of its size.
“We also opened the first two lanes of the new eight-lane South Trestle Bridge that carries traffic between the facility’s South Island and Willoughby Spit in Norfolk. Additionally, many traffic shifts of various lengths were completed on the eastbound roadway in Norfolk, totaling nearly six miles of new and widened roadway open to traffic.”
Build America Update Takes Effect
New Information Clarifies Rules for Specific Materials
By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
In February, the FHWA published an updated Q&A document on the Build America, Buy America law. Clarifications on iron and steel construction products can be found in the document, along with a definition of what constitutes being “made in America.”
Application dates for the rule, which eliminates the manufactured products waiver, are also included in the updates.
In the process, the agency keeps the Biden-era manufactured products rule unchanged and removes a waiver that industry groups favored. see BUILD page 78

Stadium Construction Gains Momentum Heading Into 2026
December 2025 marked significant progress in construction of the new Nissan Stadium, closing out a productive year and shifting the project into its next phase. Crews have transitioned from exterior structural work to enclosing the building envelope, including walls, roofing systems and glazing.
Installation of the TPO roof membrane is nearing the halfway point across the stadium’s 360,000 sq. ft. surface. Work also has begun on the ETFE roof system. A shipment of wire cables, some up to 600 ft. long, arrived in December, and crews have started preparing them for installation on the top ring beam. Plywood protection has been placed throughout seating areas to prevent damage during the process.
The project also completed a fit test of the first illuminated letter that will appear on each facade. The 15 ft. tall “T” was temporarily installed on the west facade, facing the existing stadium and downtown. The remaining letters are being fabricated in Wisconsin and are scheduled for installation in the spring.
Concrete work continues to advance. Crews have placed more than 91,700 cu. yds. of concrete and completed all metal slab pours. The final major concrete element,
located beneath the playing field, remains to be poured. Masonry crews have reached about 85 percent completion, installing more than 448,000 sq. ft. of block.
Exterior metal panel installation progressed on the south, west and north elevations in December. Crews have completed 8 percent of black and white ribbon panels; 7 percent of corrugated panels; and 14 percent of metal louvers. Glazing work remains on track, with 295 of 1,185 building panels left to install. Approximately 75 percent of the curtain wall system is complete, and installation is expected to finish by the end of February 2026.
Interior construction continues to move forward. Seventeen of the stadium’s 27 passenger elevators are installed, and work is under way on the freight and service elevators. All 44 escalators have been installed. In the kitchen and food service areas, crews have installed approximately 12 percent of equipment, including cooking hoods on the plaza and main concourse levels. Installation of the first walk-in coolers is expected this month. The stadium also will feature frictionless marketplaces using Amazon’s Just Walk Out technology.
The project remains on schedule as it enters its next major phase in 2026.

With more than 24 million cu. yds. of material that had to be moved and more than 500,000 tons of stone that needed to be set, the potential for delays and disconnects on the construction of a new electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing plant loomed large for South Carolina-based Landmark Construction.
Called “Project Connect,” the EV development in Blythewood, S.C., is one of the largest projects of its kind in the United States.
Not willing to accept any disruptions, the earthwork and site prep contractor set out to put its advanced hardware and software solutions to the test, establishing a fully connected workflow across the more than 1,600 acre site. This project required an intense synchronization of people, processes and equipment to remove and relocate materials for building sites as well as the installation of underground utilities.
“It depended on meticulous coordination and precision, which is only possible in a truly connected construction environment, where information is gathered and digested seamlessly from the field to the office and back again in a timely and cohesive way,” said Mike Marshall, GPS superintendent of Landmark. “It’s an approach that allowed us to take on this massive EV project with confidence.”
Landmark was tasked with performing mass grading and erosion control, installing stormwater systems and procuring the stone for building pads, laydown areas and roads. In total, approximately 6 million sq. ft. of building space will be constructed on the site, with the largest spanning about .75 mi. long by .25 mi. wide. There also were multiple 100-acre-plus ponds with dams on the site. Landmark is on track to complete the project in 2026.
“Having a live connection between the machines in the field and our central data platform, and then back to the field, was absolutely critical on a project of this scale,” Marshall said. “It allowed us to react quickly to changes and keep the entire operation running smoothly and ahead of schedule.”
Connections Deep, Wide
The expansive site size network to ensure connectivity 24/7 and across the various surveying and construction systems both on and off machines, necessitated a comprehensive and resilient communications network.
The requirements for connectivity were as deep as they were wide. The deepest cut on the site was more than 70 ft. and deepest fill about 120 ft., making continuous connectivity a challenge.
“We were basically leveling the top of a mountain,” said Marshall.
To ensure real-time data transfers,
Landmark leveraged its experience with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) base stations to build a custom data communications solution that could deliver robust signals, broad coverage and reliable connections.
At the onset of the project, the survey team established a network of reference stations using Trimble’s Internet Base Station Service (IBSS) including the Trimble R750 GNSS modular receiver.
“With this network, we didn’t need radios or repeaters to get signals, even down in canyons or, in fact, anywhere on the over two-mile long site,” Marshall said. “The
ability to share a single base station across multiple work areas has been a game-changer for us, greatly reducing the infrastructure needed and assuring GNSS access and accuracy across the project.”
Grade Control Is ÂAutoÊmatic
The sheer scope of equipment used to move and strategically place 24 million cu. yds. of material was daunting — as was the on-machine technology. On Project Connect, there were more than 150 pieces of equipment on the site at any given time including 30 excavators, 30 dozers, two motor graders and a scraper fleet along with six rovers, two drones and more than 100 off-road dump trucks.
With support from SITECH Palmetto, Landmark invested in machine guidance technology more than a decade ago. Today, 100 percent of its dozers, with many excavators and graders as well, are equipped with grade control software (in this case, Trimble Earthworks) to deliver data that powers 3D models in the context of site surroundings.
“We had one main master file that controlled the whole project,” said Marshall. “When we updated that file, it went to all the machines at the same time with a single keystroke. That made it possible to monitor progress, identify bottlenecks and make decisions in near real-time. By quickly getting revisions and changes out to the machines, costly rework was significantly reduced, if not eliminated.”
When asked how this digital connectivity facilitated productivity, Marshall said that for many contractors moving 120,000 cu. yds. over the course of a month would be considered a good day.
“On our best days, we moved 60,000 to 70,000 cubic yards a day,” he said.
“In particular, we take advantage of the ‘Autos’ functionality,” said Marshall.
When an excavator is placed in “Autos” or automatics mode, the operator controls the stick, while the grade control system controls the boom and bucket, allowing the operator to achieve grade at a consistent rate with high accuracy and in much less time.
With the IBSS as a backbone and Trimble WorksManager software as the field-tooffice data manager, the dozers, graders and rovers become mobile data hubs, managing the most current site data with the project management team back in the office.
These machines collect and record various data points, such as positioning, productivity and progress, as they operate in the field. The data collected by the machines is then transferred back to Landmark’s project management team where it is incorporated into 3D models and designs that are built and maintained by Trimble Business Center software. WorksManager software is then used to transfer the latest design models and updates back to the machines in the field.
This is, in part, due to removing six or seven steps from the process of getting data from the field to the office and back to the field.
Storm (Box) of Digital Activity
Landmark’s technology ecosystem extends beyond just moving dirt to prepare for building pads. The team also leveraged specialized software to model and manage the installation of utility structures, such as the required 350 storm boxes, integrating that data into their overall project workflows.
“Everything installed in the ground was modeled in building information modeling [BIM],” Marshall said. “In 2024, we modeled an estimated 2,000 structures across all our projects; that’s equivalent to about 4,000 labor hours over the course of a year. We’re working to get that down to minutes.”
On Project Connect, those models were then passed to utility crews who were digging infrastructure with excavators operating with 3D models created in SketchUp.

Hyundai Adds HW100A Wheeled Excavator to N.A. Lineup
HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America is adding the 25,221-lb. HW100A to its lineup of wheeled excavators, which ranges from the R55W-9A at 12,240 lbs. to the 46,690-lb. HW210A.
Digging to a depth of 13 ft. 11 in. and delivering 101 net hp, the Hyundai HW100A is powerful enough for a variety of applications, yet is particularly suited for road and bridge work, roadside projects and other jobs where the ability to move on paved surfaces is critical. Its compact size, 360degree swing capability and articulated boom allow it to work in congested and tight spaces where larger equipment can’t, according to Hyundai.
This new compact excavator features a spacious cab with a fulllength glass door for ease of entry and egress, as well as a heated, airsuspension seat and other comfortrelated features. For safety, the HW100A comes standard with right and rearview cameras, LED light package and other features.
Like other Hyundai wheeled excavators, the HW100A has the options of AAVM (all-around view monitoring) and rear radar for added job safety and peace of mind when working in congested spaces, according to Hyundai.
With a maximum speed of 24 mph, the HW100A offers three steering modes: four-wheel round,
which provides the tightest turning radius, with the traction and control needed for operating on rough terrain; four-wheel crab, which provides the ability to maneuver diagonally; and two-wheel steering, which delivers better fuel economy while still providing agile handling.
“This means the Hyundai
HW100A is versatile enough to tackle multiple jobs across a variety of applications,” said Julio Vargas, product manager, HD Hyundai Construction Equipment North America.
Customizable Power, Performance Settings
placing heavy objects or materials for sanitation and utility work.”
Operators also can select from three power modes — power, standard and economy — to match power and efficiency to the job at hand.
The Hyundai HW100A comes standard with a two-piece boom for enhanced reach and versatility, a front bucket rest and a rear dozer blade. It also is equipped with quick coupler piping and selectable control pattern (ISO/SAE) for operator preference, according to Hyundai.
“Operators and owners alike will appreciate the comfort, versatility and available options, while enjoying the power and performance on the HW100A,” Vargas said. “They have four work modes to choose from. The one-way setting lets operators control boom and bucket operation independently for precision tasks like leveling and fine grading. The two-way setting synchronizes operation of the boom and bucket, which is more efficient for high-production tasks like truck loading and trenching. The digging setting provides optimum efficiency and power for heavy-duty excavation tasks, such as for foundation work. The lifting setting works best for applications that involve lifting, moving and
Optional configurations include four outriggers or a front dozer blade with rear outriggers to suit various customer needs.
Additional standard features include an 8-in. touchscreen display, long-life brakes and five years of Hyundai’s proprietary Hi MATE telematics for remote monitoring and support.
Vargas said that the HW100As will be available through Hyundai dealers in the second quarter of 2025. Hyundai

Banas explained that with so much work taking place beneath the ground and out of view of the traveling public, opening the new South Trestle Bridge was a celebration for everyone involved.
“For our crews, it meant having the satisfaction of knowing they contributed to what is thought to be the widest bridge in Virginia, at 202 feet. For the public, it meant finally having the opportunity to drive across the very structure they’ve been seeing rise up from the bottom of the bay for the last four years.
“It’s very humbling to see the first vehicles traverse a structure that is designed to handle more than 130,000 cars a day, with a lifespan that will exceed 100 years. It’s awesome to think of the billions of trips the new structure will support over its lifespan.”
Hampton Roads Connector Partners (HRCP), a designbuild team, is constructing the project. HRCP is a joint venture consisting of multiple partners, with Dragados USA serving as lead contractor and HDR and Mott MacDonald as lead designers.
Banas also noted the project would not be possible without the collaboration of the Hampton Roads Transportation Accountability Commission (HRTAC).
“Ninety-two percent of the funds for the expansion are raised in the region, and HRTAC manages the funds through a commission of locally elected leaders and executives. These funds are earmarked for projects of regional significance that increase capacity.”
Banas said experience has been crucial to the success of the project.
“The Virginia Department of Transportation [VDOT] has relied heavily on the experience of fellow owners in its preparation for the project, the years of expertise brought by the project’s design-builder to tackle such a massive undertaking and the knowledge of the nearly 2,000 engineers, craftspeople and support staff to tirelessly deliver the project.”
Breakthrough day was particularly meaningful, with eyes from around the tunneling world laser-focused on the proj-
ect.
“Mary the TBM emerged through the headwall after 99 weeks of mining her two tunnels. It marked the completion of years of planning for the twin tunnels and the culmination of a generational tunnel project coming to fruition. VDOT’s Commissioner Stephen Brich orchestrated a series of remarks from guests of honor, including U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.
“The governor highlighted the significance of the expansion project, especially for military readiness by ensuring personnel are ready to respond when duty calls. Most rewarding was the sense of accomplishment clearly visible on the faces of the men and women who worked tirelessly and diligently throughout the tunneling process.”
According to Banas, the tunnels were each completed in less than one year. Excavation occurred 24 hours a day, five days a week. Weekends were reserved for equipment main-
tenance and supporting activities that were conducted around the clock to support the next week’s mining operations.
“Mary moved more than one million cubic yards of material. Once excavated by the cutterhead, material was mixed with slurry and transported up to three miles to the surface of South Island through 22-inch diameter steel pipe. The pipe, delivering as much as 13,200 gallons of soil-slurry mixture per minute, emptied into the slurry treatment plant. Here, soil was separated from the slurry, recovering soil as fine as half the thickness of a human hair.
“Simultaneously, the TBM placed concrete segments to build the tunnel liner. Each ring, measuring six feet to six inches in width, was composed of nine concrete segments weighing as much as 20 tons. In total 21,465 segments were placed, creating 2,385 rings, leaving behind two tunnels with a combined length of just over three miles.”

Mary is the second largest TBM ever used in North America.
VDOT photo
Mary is more than 46 ft. in diameter, and is composed of five major pieces, with a total weight just under 10 million lbs.
VDOT photo
With tunneling complete, crews are disassembling Mary on the South Island. Components of the massive machine are being cleaned, removed and prepared for transport.

BOMAG’s BP Series Compactors Have Range of Applications
BOMAG’s new BP Series of single direction vibratory plate compactors are built to deliver durability and compaction results across a range of applications from soil and paver block to asphalt construction and paving, according to BOMAG.
The new line consists of six gas engine models — BP 10/30, BP 12/35, BP 12/50, BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50 — offering compaction widths from 12.6 in. to 19.7 in. An additional cyclone filter on BP 15/40, BP 20/45 and BP 25/50 models precleans intake air to reduce the amount of dust reaching the main filter to increase the engine’s service life.
At the heart of their design, the exciter housing is cast into the base plate to minimize vibration-induced wear and eliminate the risk of screws loosening.
BOMAG exciters are maintenance free to increase compactor uptime. Bar guards safeguard compactor components from damage at the job site or during transport and incorporate a lifting handle for easier loading.
The vibration system’s V-belt guard features an all-round enclosed design to minimize repairs and protect the operator from injury. The plates’ ergonomic
design incorporates directly accessible service points to minimize downtime.
While delivering high compaction forces on sand, gravel and mixed, non-cohesive soils, these single direction plates are easy on the operator. The guide handle offers maneuverability right up to walls and directly on foundations.
Large rubber vibration isolator blocks deliver low hand/arm vibration feedback — below 16.4 sq. ft. — to the operator to ensure fatigue-free operation. When it’s time to leave the job site, the handle quickly folds without tools to take up less room for transport.
Versatility
The new BOMAG BP Series is flexibly designed to compact a wide range of materials. For asphalt applications, contractors can equip the machine with a BOMAG’s spray bar kit, featuring a large capacity tank with wide opening for easy filling. The kit sprays water directly across the entire plate width, preventing asphalt material from sticking to the plate and damaging the surface. For landscaping applications, all models can be equipped with BOMAG’s wear-resistant polyurethane mats. Easy to install, the mats prevent marks on paving stones and reduce the risk of breakage. They deliver particularly gentle compaction of concrete paving stones, especially those with a coated surface.
In addition to transport handles, compact dimensions and a foldable guide handle, the new BP series can be customized with BOMAG transport wheels to help move about the site or from site to site. The wheels fold up and out of the way when the compactor is in use. For more information, visit bomag.com/us-en.

Wirtgen’s W 210 XF Milling Machine Offers Technology for Maximum Performance
Due to its high daily output, the large milling machine from Wirtgen can handle a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from surface layer rehabilitation and full-depth pavement removal to fine milling, according to Wirtgen.
The new large milling machine W 210 XF has been available and working on construction sites since January 2025. Currently, it is available in the United States, Europe, Australia, Japan and Taiwan. The large milling machine from Wirtgen can handle a broad spectrum of applications ranging from surface layer rehabilitation and full-depth pavement removal to fine milling.
Large Milling Machine Guarantees Maximum Milling Performance
Its Mill Assist machine control system ensures absolute efficiency on every construction site. In automatic mode, it always ensures the most favorable working balance between performance and costs, according to Wirtgen.
It also allows the selection of three different working strategies that optimize the process with respect to cost, performance or quality, according to Wirtgen.
Powered by a John Deere engine with a maximum rated power output of 778 hp, the W 210 XF delivers powerful and efficient milling performance in every situation. Wirtgen and John Deere worked in close collaboration on fine-tuning the engine’s torque characteristic to meet the specific needs of cold milling applications, according to the companies.
The combination of the powerful engine and the Dual Shift two-speed powershift transmission enables an enormous range of milling drum speeds. The lower range of milling drum speeds enables significant reductions of fuel consumption, pick wear and noise emissions, according to Wirtgen.
The upper range of milling drum speeds makes it possible to achieve high area performance with a high-quality milling pattern, even at the maximum milling depth of 33 cm. This means that the W 210 XF is ideally equipped to complete even the most demanding milling tasks with maximum sustainability, according to Wirtgen.
Milling Drum for Every Application
The requirements on construction sites often change from one day to the next. This means that outstanding flexibility is a must. An example of this in the case of the W 210 XF is that the milling drum can be exchanged for a Multiple Cutting System (MCS) drum within minutes.
The ability to rapidly change to application-specific milling drums with different tool spacings considerably increases machine productivity. At the same time, the choice of the ideal drum for a specific application also reduces wear-related costs, according to Wirtgen.
Wirtgen offers a range of milling drums for the W 210 XF to meet the requirements of any milling application. Exchanging the milling drum assembly enables the completion of milling widths of 6.5 ft., 7.2 ft. or 8.2 ft.. With the aid of the quick-change system, the entire milling drum housing can be exchanged in less than an hour, according to Wirtgen.
WPT Milling Offers More Functions
Wirtgen Group Performance Tracker Milling, or WPT Milling for short, is available for the automated documentation of milling tasks. The operator is kept constantly informed about the current machine and job parameters, and when the work has been completed, the data is transmitted to the machine owner, who can then use them for fast and precise billing.
In addition to displaying construction site and machine data, the automated documentation also shows the CO₂ emissions for the entire construction site. The John Deere Operations Center presents all information in real time.
Precise Leveling With Level Pro Active
The Level Pro Active leveling system was developed by Wirtgen specifically for cold milling machines. Clearly readable control panels provide information and measured values from all currently connected sensors and ease the machine operator’s workload, according to Wirtgen.
The system is fully integrated into the control system of the cold milling machines and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, enables a high level of automation and precise milling results. The system also offers numerous automatic and additional functions that make the operator’s job easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers.

Races have been held here since 1930. After a few rather subdued years, the course is now back to its former glory. Both the infrastructure and the carriageway have been renovated. Riders are enthused about the special asphalt, made in a Benninghoven plant and paved by three Vögele pavers and material feeders.
International race tracks have particularly stringent requirements for evenness, grip and a homogeneous texture, amongst other factors. Maximum grip and consistent evenness are key — as is the safety of riders travelling at speeds of around 200 mph. All 3.35 mi. of the Masaryk Circuit were resurfaced: three Vögele pavers and material feeders paved a 1-in. thick level-regulating course and a 1.6-in. thick surface course across an average width of 49 ft. — on the Start/Finish straights, this width increased to as much as 56 ft.
StringentLittleRequirements, Time
Apart from the precise specifications for both asphalt material and paving process, the paving team managed by David Tejkal, construction manager of general contractor Strabag a.s., faced another challenge.
“We had a strict deadline,” he said. “The track had to be handed over two months before the Grand Prix.” This meant a very short preparation period of just four weeks. The team could only work during the day, So 50 workers and 5 engineers were on site each day. “The tight schedule demanded precise coordination between all those involved — as well as utterly reliable, high-performance machinery,” said Tejkal.
Special Asphalt Material
The first task was to find the perfect asphalt material to deliver the ideal carriageway surface: better grip, faster, safer. Consulting engineers Hart Consult drafted a resurfacing concept for the track.
“Among other things, we drafted project-specific specifications for all raw materials, asphalt composition, processes and quality assurance which were also agreed with FIM, the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (International Motorcycling Federation) and we monitored the implementation of those specifications on site,” said Mario Peiker, managing director and technical director of Hart Consult International GmbH. Any deviation from these specifications would potentially impact performance and safety. The special asphalt was produced in a Benninghoven BA 4000 asphalt mixing plant from Brnenska Obalovna/Strabag.
Smart Weighing System for Consistent Asphalt Quality
The smart weighing system from Benninghoven proved ideal for this project. It has no sensors and teaches itself to dose at maximum efficiency and to minimum tolerances — even under varying conditions such as fluctuating temperatures or differing proportions of white mineral. The system reacts to the flow of material in real time, creating the conditions for managing the formula precisely — something which would be almost impossible using conventional methods. This renders the smart weighing system valuable wher-
ever extremely low formula tolerances are required — such as in this project, where any deviation from the specifications would have an impact on performance and safety.
In order to be able to use the smart weighing system, however, the first step was to integrate the latest version of the mixing plant control system, BLS 4 from Benninghoven in the existing BA 4000 from Brnenska Obalovna. This control unit conversion also was completed in double-quick time as a result of close collaboration between Benninghoven, Hart Consult and Strabag.
“It was really impressive to see how the new control software benefitted production precision. As we reduced production tolerances by almost 50 percent compared to national standards, these specifications could only be maintained using a perfectly calibrated mixing plant,” said Peiker.
Even Flow of Material, Seamless Paving
The special asphalt had to be paved without interruptions and without any loss of temperature in order to satisfy the stringent quality requirements. This was taken care of by precisely harmonied logistics: thermally-insulated trucks delivered the material straight to three Vögele MT 3000-2i standard type material feeders. They took on the load in the shortest possible time and continuously conveyed material to the Vögele pavers. In the process, the sensor-controlled conveyor belt heating of the material feeders ensured that the asphalt arrived at the pavers without any heat loss.
Paving itself was implemented by the hot-to-hot method to achieve a seamless surface, otherwise the high shear forces on the race track would very soon force open any joints. Three pavers of the Super 1800-3i type worked on parallel carriageways with a slight offset — across the full carriageway width of 49 ft. to 56 ft. Hot-to-hot paving ensured optimum bonding and a water-impermeable, stable and durable carriageway surface.
System of Sensors Ensures Maximum Evenness
To ensure precision maintenance of longitudinal evenness, the team used the Niveltronic Plus system for automated grade and slope control in combination with the Big MultiPlex Ski. Three multi-cell sonic sensors were fitted to the brackets to scan the roadbase of the level-regulating course and the surface course at several points simultaneously. The system for automated grade and slope control used these measurements to calculate an average value over the entire measuring range, compensating even extended irregularities. The AB 500 TV extending screed (with tamper and vibrators as compacting systems) secured a high degree of precompaction, leading to a high-quality surface. The result was a homogeneous, even asphalt surface course with the optimum texture — ideal for a race track.
On Time Completion
Despite the challenging schedule, this project was completed on time. In just four weeks, a total of around 14,000 tons of asphalt material were paved at Brno Circuit. The whole track was inspected and approved by the authorities, So motor racing fans can once again look forward to lots of great racing in Brno.

Technology Assists Landmark On Massive Earthmoving Project
“All our calculations were done on 3D excavators,” said Marshall. “We’re developing a way to automate pipe calculations and structure design so all the storm boxes, in fact, everything that gets installed in the ground, is modeled in BIM and uploaded directly to the machines and to the rovers.”
Back in the office, Viewpoint Vista from
Trimble handles all things accounting for Landmark. Finance controller Jordan Adams said the ERP platform modules are comprehensive, easy to use and integrate easily with other systems. Features that turn data into intelligence are especially valuable in the office and the field.
“The technology makes it easy for project managers to look at cost projections, budgets
and actual costs to date so they can make educated, timely decisions on how to adjust operations,” he said.
Aerial Advantage
To add to its overall project management capabilities, the Landmark team also flew its two drones every day to gather real-time progress imagery. That data was integrated
directly into their 3D design platform.
“Today’s construction management software makes it easy to read point cloud data from drones as well as ground-based laser scanners,” said Marshall.
The survey team uses the data to see where water is flowing, track material movement and much more across the entire site.
“I can clip the point clouds into one big surface and run numbers against it to make any site adjustments,” said Marshall. “It’s so fast and easy that we were able to see and measure changes to the site conditions pretty much on the fly. The integration of drone data into our digital data management ecosystem is the biggest game changer when it comes to real-time decision making and keeping this project on track.”
According to Marshall, as soon as the data — whether from drones or equipment on the ground — hit Landmark’s servers, it was analyzed, identifying trends and adjusting its plans and workflows.
“We’ve achieved a level of visibility and control through this digital ecosystem that a few years ago was simply not possible — and the value of that connectivity is evident to our customer, as we’re on time and on budget on a project that is well beyond the ordinary,” Marshall said.

Build America Updates Complex Product Requirements
Lane Kimble, director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, said FHWA had used its waiver authority since 1983. The waiver exempted a wide range of materials used on federal aid highway projects, including electronics, ITS hardware and electrical equipment. It also exempted other items, including signal boxes and pumps, from provisions mandating they be produced domestically.
“Manufactured construction products will need to be built in the United States and be made of at least 55 percent U.S.-made components,” said Kimble. “President Trump and the USDOT initially put the rule change on hold last year for review.”
ARTBA noted that removing the waiver, though well-intentioned, could cost the transportation construction industry $8.5 billion over the next decade.
Sean McMaster, FHWA administrator, told ARTBA members he wants to ensure Buy America requirements do not delay projects. But, McMaster told the association’s executive committee, waivers must be “limited, strategic and temporary.”
ARTBA announced the waiver phases out with federal aid projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2025, for which final product assembly must take place in the United States.
“The Q&A document does not detail new policies,” the association said in its announcement to members. It said the document “simply clarifies how FHWA intends to interpret and implement the revised Buy America standards in this area.”
Those revisions now include product classification and transition timelines, said the group, adding it is in regular contact with FHWA on the issue.
Longstanding Manufactured Product Exemption
In early 2024, FHWA released a proposal to roll back the waiver exempting manufactured products from Buy-America rules on federal aid highway projects.
ARTBA reported then that FHWA called it a step toward boosting domestic manufacturing, bolstering critical supply chains and supporting creation of union jobs.
The agency solicited comments on the implications of its proposal for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
“FHWA proposes requiring that domestic content of manufactured products exceeds 55 percent, as measured by the cost of their components,” said ARBTA. “In justifying the proposed change, the agency repeatedly cites domestic manufacturing as a policy priority for the White House and Congress.”
The agency’s plan was to pursue targeted waivers for specific manufactured products to minimize costs and delays.
ARTBA said the industry supported the waiver because it would be costly, and perhaps impossible, to ensure many materials were Buy America-compliant.
In a 2023 survey co-sponsored by ARTBA, two-thirds of contractors believed a change in the waiver would cause a major effect on their operations. These effects would require “significant additional time and costs to document and certify countless components within these items,” said the group.
ARTBA noted then that the IIJA maintained Buy America coverage for iron, steel and manufactured products while expanding it to construction materials.
“The law also requires periodic reviews of
waivers like this one,” the association said in explaining the rollback to members.
In its Q&A section explaining the changes to the Manufactured Products Final Rule, FHWA outlines updates to several materialspecific requirements.
It said the final rule clarifies what kinds of products are subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for steel and iron versus manufactured products.
For projects obligated on or after March 20, 2025, recipients of funds must classify products based on the definitions in the code. These definitions stand “regardless of any previous methods used to differentiate these two categories,” said the agency.
FHWA said the new manufactured prod-
An FHWA document consisting of questions and answers about the new rule clarifies how the agency intends to interpret and implement the revised Buy America standards related to product classification and transition timelines.
ucts rules are “generally” the same as those under the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act.
“However, the application of FHWA’s Buy America requirements may differ from the application of BABA’s requirements,” it added.
For example, BABA applies only to infrastructure projects, said the transportation agency. That’s any work related to the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of infrastructure regardless of whether it also is the primary purpose of the project.
“FHWA’s Buy America requirements apply to all projects funded with Title 23 funds, even those not generally considered to be infrastructure projects,” it said.
“FHWA’s Buy America requirements also provide distinctions for certain manufactured products not included in the BABA requirements.”
The agency said Buy America rules do not apply to the non-iron or non-steel components of an iron or steel product.

New Buildings Under Construction On North, South Islands
Mary is more than 46 ft. in diameter, and is composed of five major pieces, with a total weight just under 10 million lbs. Upon her cutterhead, which can rotate up to 2.5 times per minute, Mary is equipped with 198 scrapers, 26-disc cutters and 11 center tools specifically designed for the project’s subsurface conditions.
Dismantling Mary began almost immediately upon completion of mining.
“The process is lengthy and quite delicate, ironic given the massive scale on which the machine operates,” said Banas. “Crews very carefully unbolt, cut and dismantle the machine in pieces prior to preparing for shipment back to the manufacturer. It’s very likely that parts and pieces of the machine will be used in future TBMs once properly inspected and maintained. It’s expected that the last pieces of Mary will leave the project in February 2026.”
Banas said one of the biggest challenges for crews is continued coordination among the project areas.
“In any other scenario, the HRBT Expansion Project would be divided into multiple smaller projects. As a mega project, the HRBT has the challenge of ensuring multiple crews and operations can happen simultaneously, while still moving more than 100,000 vehicles a day. On top of the HRBT, VDOT has multiple other projects under way in the Interstate 64 corridor.”
Ongoing work includes completion of the tunnel approach structures, phasing the South Trestle Bridge to the new and existing tunnels; completion of a new North Trestle Westbound Bridge; finishing the new Mallory
Street Bridge in Hampton; demolition of the existing westbound and eastbound trestles; and interstate and bridge widening in the existing right-of-way along the project’s 10-mi. corridor.
On the North and South Islands where tunneling occurred, more than a dozen buildings are being constructed to house maintenance and tunnel support operations and a new traffic operations center. In the tunnel, crews are hard at work constructing the roadway, installing safety features and completing the tunnel systems that will allow for a safe trip across the harbor.
Banas said tunneling for the twin tunnel was a mirror image of the first bore, except it was approximately 36 ft. longer, due to its curved alignment adjacent to the first tunnel. The second tunnel was completed three weeks faster than the first, due to lessons learned along the way.
“To begin the second tunnel, the cutterhead and shield had to be turned around and aligned to the headwall. Nitrogen sled technology aided in turning the cutterhead and shield with needing to dismantle the entire machine. This simplistic, yet innovative technology saved the project months and also set world records along the way.
“The four trailing gantries were then extracted from the first tunnel, lifted to the top of the North Island using two 800-ton cranes, turned and set back into the cell to be reattached to the TBM to begin the second bore.”
The South Trestle Bridge added 1.2 mi. of new deck length to the facility’s inventory. Concrete pipe piles were driven upwards of 80 ft. into the bay bottom; more than 800 precast concrete beams were placed; and stainless steel and
carbon fiber reinforcement were used to extend the bridge’s service life, along with low permeability concrete that resists chloride intrusion and prolongs the onset of corrosion.
Heavy equipment on the job has included 600 and 800ton cranes, barges, tugboats, unmanned survey boats and a special beam launcher that was erected on site to set nearly 100 girders for the new North Trestle Bridge. A slurry treatment plant, the largest in North America, also has played an important role.
As for the weather, said Banas, “We’re very fortunate in Virginia in that we have a very temperate climate that’s conducive to year-round construction. Working adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay means we have to keep an eye to the sky for quick afternoon storms. Our contractor considers the likely occurrence of weather in its schedule and works alternate shifts when necessary.”
Banas acknowledged it’s tremendously satisfying to be involved in such a monumental project.
“It’s an absolute honor for each and every person working on the HRBT Expansion Project to be part of such an amazing undertaking. For many, this will be the largest project of their career. Make no mistake, a project like the HRBT Expansion is one that sits at the top of your resume for the rest of your career, and long after in the stories we’ll tell.” CEG
Documents Clarify Steel, Iron Build America Requirements
Under the rule, a product can be classified as an iron or steel product even if it contains non-iron or non-steel components.
“In such a case, the Buy America requirements for steel and iron … apply to such products, not the requirements for manufactured products or construction materials.”
The agency also said the cost of the foreign iron or steel product is only the cost of the foreign iron or steel in the product.
If an iron or steel product contains noniron/steel components, recipients should use just the cost of the individual foreign iron or steel components.
For projects obligated between March 20, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2025, the waiver applies to manufactured products permanently incorporated in such projects.
“For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2025, all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.”
For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2026, all manufactured products in the project must meet the final assembly requirement.
Plus, the cost of components that are mined, produced or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55 percent
of the total cost of all components.
Under the rule, specific requirements apply to precast concrete products, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and other electronic hardware systems products installed in the highway right-of-way
“For such precast concrete products, components that consist ‘predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both’ must meet FHWA’s requirements for iron and steel.”
ITS cabinets or other enclosures that consist “predominantly of iron or steel or a combination” must meet requirements for steel and iron.
“These iron or steel component requirements apply to all projects, regardless of when they are obligated,” said the agency.
These specified manufactured products also must meet the applicable requirements for manufactured products.
On or after Oct. 1, 2026, the cost of predominantly iron or steel components will count toward the 55 percent requirement, according to FHWA.
Kits must be acquired from one manufacturer or supplier as separate components from those assembled or installed to form a single product at the work site.
The rule states kits should be distinguished from systems consisting of interconnected
individual components that together achieve a broad function.
“If a kit meets the definition of manufactured product … it should be classified as a single manufactured product,” according to the update. “Individual components of the kit should not be classified as separate manufactured products, even though they may be brought to the work site separately.”
FHWA said kits classified as manufactured products must meet Buy America requirements that apply to manufactured products.
“The manufacturer … should be considered the entity that performs the final manufacturing process that produces the kit”
The rule stipulates that this manufacturer is not the contractor that manufactures or assembles the on the work site.
“To comply with the final assembly requirement, the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components must be in the United States.”
However, a kit may be classified as a manufactured product even if its components are brought to the site separately or at different times.
In applying the 55 percent requirement, the rule refers to “transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the manufactured product.’”
However, the place of incorporation for kits should be considered the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components.
The rule states, “it should not be read to refer to the transportation cost of the kit’s components to the work site.”
Excluded materials are cement and cementitious materials, aggregates or aggregate binding agents or additives, according to the update.
“Excluded materials are not subject to any applicable Buy America standard … if delivered to the project site on their own or in combination with other excluded materials.”
Excluded material mixtures delivered to the work site without final for incorporation must not be classified as manufactured products.
Also, these mixtures are not subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for manufactured products, according to the agency.
For mixtures combined with a nonexcluded material and processed into a specific shape or form, the result is to be classified the same as any other material.
This stands “regardless of the fact that one of its components is an excluded material,” according to FHWA. CEG
