Paving of Runway 18 at the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport earned Austin Bridge & Road TXAPA honors.

See complete coverage of the annual event on pages 4, 16, 17 and 26.

The Texas Asphalt Pavement Association held its 47th annual meeting September 20 to 23 at the La Cantera Resort in San Antonio.

TXAPA members, TXDOT personnel and vendor/sponsors gathered to “celebrate our successes, talk about our opportunities, learn and educate ourselves on ways to make workforce stronger and our jobs more efficient,” according to Eric Schranz, president of Austin Bridge & Road and the 2022 TXAPA board of directors.

Austin Bridge & Road was recognized for the quality of its work on runway 18 at DFW Airport.

Wednesday morning the organization handed out its Texas Quality Asphalt Pavement Awards, recognizing performance on TXDOT jobs throughout the state. Several contractors also were honored for their seal coat work.

This year, the non-TXDOT project awards were moved to the organization’s Managing Asphalt Pavements (MAPS) conference, which will be held in March of 2023 in Waco.

Later on Wednesday, technical breakout sessions began and the trade show portion of the event opened its doors.

Exhibitors included equipment distributors McCourt Equipment, R.B. Everett & Co and Powerscreen Texas.

Thursday marked a continuation of the trade show and several more technical sessions. Thursday evening, silent and live auctions were held to benefit TXAPA’s scholarship fund. A total of $635,000 was raised.

Among the event’s sponsors were equipment distributors Closner Equipment, Powerscreen Texas, ROMCO Equipment and Kirby-Smith Machinery.  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2022.

Tesla Factory Will Expand By 500,000 Sq. Ft., Says Musk

Tesla has revised its application for Giga Texas to reveal a potential 500,000 sq.-ft. expansion of the automaker’s electric vehicle production factory located outside of Austin.

Tesla has revised its application for Giga Texas to reveal a potential 500,000 sq. ft. expansion of the automaker’s electric vehicle production factory located outside of Austin. Tesla added 12 acres to the site’s limits of construction, while adding 522,720 feet of space to the limit. CEO Elon Musk told Teslarati the expansion will accommodate the automaker’s plans for an “ecological paradise” at the factory.

According to Teslarati, Tesla officially filed a revised application with the city of Austin’s Housing and Planning Department on Sept. 20.

The city noted that, “[Tesla] is proposing revision to previously approved site plan.”

Comparing it to the old filling, Tesla is

proposing a change to the Giga Texas site plan by expanding the limits of construction.

The acreage in the previous application was listed at 268. The new application lists it at 280.

Additionally, the square footage of the factory is set to expand by 500,000 sq. ft.

The previous application lists the limits of square footage at 11,674,080. The revised application recently filed by Tesla pushes the square footage limit to 12,196,800.

“Long-term goal is a boardwalk with amenities that goes all the way to downtown Austin, so you can walk, bike or kayak,” Musk wrote in a Tweet.

Acctording to Tesla, Gigafactory Texas covers more than 250 acres of land and has

The acreage in the previous application was listed at 268. The new application lists it at 280.

more than 10,000,000 sq. ft. of factory floor, so the applications both line up with the company’s description of the factory on its website.

Gigafactory Texas currently builds 250,000 vehicles annually, according to Tesla’s most recent Shareholder Deck.

However, the factory opened earlier this year and is not fully ramped. Tesla previously announced that the factory had built its 10,000th Model Y. Eventually, Gigafactory Texas is expected to build upwards of 500,000 vehicles annually.

Tesla has plans to produce the Cybertruck at Gigafactory Texas sometime next year.

The vehicle had its design finalized earlier this year, Musk said.

EDP Renewables Begins First Solar Project in Texas EDP Renewables North America (EDPR NA), a renewable energy developer and operator in North America, announced the start of construction on its 240-megawatt (MW) Cattlemen I Solar Park in Milam County, Texas.

“Cattlemen is EDP Renewables’ first solar park in Texas and will soon be our largest operational solar park in our North American portfolio,” Kris Cheney, EDP Renewables North America executive vice president — central and western regions and Mexico, said. “The Milam County community has been a great partner throughout Cattlemen’s development. As we move closer to operation, we look forward to continuing that partnership as a contributing member of the community and expanding upon our relationship with the landowners, local officials and residents.”

Cattlemen Solar Park, which was developed and constructed and will be operated by EDPR NA, will bring a wealth of economic benefits to Milam County and the greater central Texas region through millions of dollars that will be paid to local landowners, a projected $55 million in taxes that will be paid to support area schools and community services and millions of dollars that will be spent locally during the project’s construction and multi-decade operational life.

Cattlemen also will support local jobs — both in the 400 employment opportunities created during construction and the several full-time team members who will be employed to safely run and perform routine maintenance on the park during operations.

Once online in 2023, Cattlemen’s generation will be equivalent to the consumption of more than 37,000 average Texas homes. Cattlemen also will save more than 304 million gallons of water and avoid more than 271,000 tons of CO2 each year that would be needed by conventional generation sources to produce the same amount of energy capacity as the solar park, according to the company.

EDP in Texas EDP Renewables is a clean energy leader in Texas. The company’s North American headquarters is in Houston and it operates six wind energy projects throughout the state, including two phases of the Lone Star Wind Farm, two phases of the Los Mirasoles Wind Farm, the Reloj del Sol Wind Farm and the Wildcat Creek Wind Farm. The projects’ total operating capacity is 1,089 MW, which generate enough electricity to annually power more than 236,000 average homes in Texas. EDPR’s Texas presence totals an estimated $1.9 billion in capital investment and more than 550 jobs.

Cattlemen has two long-term commercial agreements inplace for the project: a 156-MW power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta and a 60-MW PPA with Bristol Myers Squibb. Cattlemen Solar Park is the second PPA that EDP Renewables and Meta have executed; the companies’ first PPA was a 139-MW contract for EDPR NA’s 200-MW Headwaters II Wind Farm in Indiana. 

TxDOT has recently had productive communications with Flatiron Dragados LLC (FDLLC) and its parent company, ACS Group, regarding concerns over the construction on the Texas Harbor Bridge project.

Those discussions have taken a new direction and tone since TxDOT issued a notice of default on Aug. 16. In a letter to TxDOT dated Aug. 28, 2022, FDLLC acknowledged full responsibility for a safe design and construction of a safe bridge and committed “...to do whatever needs to be done ... to assure that the FDLLC and the TxDOT teams are able to work collaboratively toward the successful conclusion of this project.”

The letter went on to say, “FDLLC will, at its expense, provide designs and install the items of work that resolves the concerns raised by IBT in their reports. FDLLC is ready, willing and able to act upon IBT’s conclusions and do what is necessary to satisfy TxDOT that iys revised designs in fact accomplish that result.”

TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams, in an Aug. 31 response letter to FDLLC wrote that, “While these recent efforts are positive, we must quickly work to establish additional specificity to FDLLC’s proposals and arrive at an agreement on the actions to be taken.”

In coming weeks, TxDOT expects to continue conversations with FDLLC and ACS Group to define a path forward to resolve and cure the safety issues identified and documented by TXDOT, consultants and independent reviewers.

The construction of the new Harbor Bridge is a regionally significant project.

TxDOT remains committed to ensuring that the completed project is safe by all standards and expectations. The department also has consistently said it wants to move this project forward with minimal delay. To that end, also being made available for public review is a letter from Texas Transportation Commission Chairman J. Bruce Bugg pro-

viding elected officials written assurance that TxDOT is committed to completing this project safely, expeditiously and without additional direct expense to the locals.

TxDOT thanked the public and all stakeholders for their continued patience as it engages with ACS and FDLLC to resolve the identified safety concerns. TxDOT will remain focused on safety and its responsibility to the taxpayers throughout this evolving process. The department will continue to provide information on significant updates as details are available.

For more information, contact Rickey.Dailey@TxDOT.gov or 361/8082544.

About Project The construction of the new U.S. 181 Harbor Bridge is the culmination of years of research, dedication, collaboration and public participation involving a number of local entities under the leadership and direction of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). The project is now in the final phase which includes the design and construction of the bridge.

The project includes replacement of the existing Harbor Bridge and reconstruction of portions of U.S. 181, I-37 and the Crosstown Expressway. The project will include the development, design, construction and maintenance of a total of 6.44 mi. of bridge and connecting roadway. The bridge will include six-lane sections of U.S. 181, three lanes in each direction with a median barrier, shoulders, and a bicycle and pedestrian shared-use path. Additionally, the project includes the reconstruction of approximately 1.6 mi. of I-37, reconstruction of approximately 1 mi. of the Crosstown Expressway and demolition of the existing Harbor Bridge.  (All photos courtesy of Harbor Bridge Project.)
