UDOT’s $430M I-15 Project Adds New Lanes in Tech Corridor

By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT

Work on $430 million project to widen I15 in Utah County, Utah, began last April.

The project is taking place in one of the fastest growing areas in Utah, known as Silicon Slopes for the high number of technology-based businesses there. It is the last section of I-15 between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork where the freeway is only four lanes.

The project between Lehi Main Street and S.R. 92 (Timpanogos Highway) includes: • two additional travel lanes in each direction; • new bridge over I-15 at Triumph Boulevard; • one-way frontage roads between S.R. 92 and 2100 North; • redesigned interchanges at S.R. 92 and 2100 North; • reconstructed bridges at cross streets and railroad crossings; and • new bike and pedestrian connections.

Crews with the joint venture Ames Construction and Wadsworth Brothers, headquartered in Minnesota, built a new frontage road system to alleviate east-west congestion in the busy area.

“Most of the work that has happened until this point has been to try to get traffic situated so we can get in and do the widening we need,” said Boyd Humpherys UDOT construction manager for the Technology Corridor project. “They had to build temporary pavements and do some work to shift traffic around.”

They also are working to reconfigure the

lanes on I-15, narrowing lanes and shoulders to allow for an extra lane in each direction.

“That allows them to keep traffic moving during the day during peak hours,” Humpherys said. “The reason for that is we know when we go to construction, traffic slows down. By going to five lanes, we’re

hoping to mitigate congestion. Building this job and being able to keep traffic open, that’s the big challenge. Sometimes you can just close these things down, but we’ve got to be able to accommodate traffic.”

The new bridge at Triumph Boulevard will feature slip ramps to allow traffic to

access the freeway traveling north. The bridge is scheduled for completion by the end of the year. In addition to the new bridge, the project includes work on other bridges in the corridor.

“There’s one bridge that crosses over I-15. see UDOT page 10

Two Roadwork Construction Projects Under Way at Hill Hill Air Force Base has two road construction projects currently under way. The renovations will include excavation and replacement of asphalt along 6th Street, as well as two new traffic signals to an increasingly-busy Wardleigh Boulevard.

6th Street Excavation and replacement of asphalt along Hill AFB’s 6th Street from the Southwest Gate to South Gate Drive is ongoing through Aug. 17.

During the construction period, at least one lane of traffic will remain open in each direction during construction hours. Lane closures will alternate between north and half of the road during the construction phase.

The revised construction phase will reduce project completion time, provide cost savings and provide safer traffic flow. Business and parking lots access along the

road will remain open during construction.

All drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes to minimize traffic congestion in the area.

Wardleigh In addition, two new traffic signals are going up along Wardleigh Boulevard.

One of the traffic lights will be installed at the intersection of H Avenue and the second light at the intersection of Arsenal Road. As part of the projects, pavement, drainage and electrical work also will be completed.

Base officials said the increasing volume of traffic and the safety of motorists along Wardleigh is the reason the traffic signals are being installed. There

was one fatality and several near misses at these intersections in the past year.

Construction already occurred

May 7 to June 15 and will resume Aug. 1 to 22 at H Avenue and Wardleigh Boulevard.

Construction of the second traffic

signal at Arsenal Road and Wardleigh will begin in late August.

During the construction periods, there will be times when traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction and officials ask for everyone’s patience as these much-needed safety upgrades to the installation are made.

The reductions to one lane will be intermittent, officials said, and are not likely to last for entire days.

Motorists, pedestrians and cyclists should obey all traffic laws during their commute through all construction areas, which also will help construction crews safely complete these projects with minimum delays.

Dept. of Energy Awards $140M Grant to Utah’s EGI to Develop Energy Lab Following a three-year, five-way competitive process, the U.S. Department of Energy has selected the Energy and Geosciences Institute (EGI) at the University of Utah to develop a geothermal laboratory near Milford, Utah. The laboratory, called Frontier Observatory for Research in Geothermal Energy (FORGE) will focus on developing enhanced geothermal systems which could greatly expand the nation’s capacity to produce geothermal energy. The FORGE award will consist of up to $140 million over five years.

“We thank the U.S. Department of Energy for this exceptional opportunity,” said John McLennan, co-principal investigator of Utah’s FORGE team. “Having this research program in Utah would not have been possible without the support and encouragement of Utah Governor Herbert; Dr. Laura Nelson, the Governor’s energy advisor; the Office of Energy Development; the Utah School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration; and the Utah congressional delegation in Washington. We appreciate the assistance that we have received from State representatives and from Beaver County and from Milford. At the University, strong support has come from the President of the University and the central administration as well as from the College of Engineering and the Energy & Geoscience Institute.”

“Utah is proud to provide national leadership in advancing energy innovation that will help drive affordable, baseload, renewable power to market,” said Gov. Gary R. Herbert, in a statement from the Governor’s Office of Energy Development. “This will put Utah on the map as a world

leader for geothermal research as well as expand geothermal production here in rural Utah and throughout the world.”

“The University of Utah is grateful for Senator Orrin Hatch’s leadership and his tireless efforts to advance important scientific research,” said Ruth Watkins, University of Utah president, in a statement from Hatch’s office. “Because of his efforts to help secure this FORGE grant, the University of Utah will continue to lead the Nation as the preeminent institution for researching the commercial production of geothermal energy.”

The FORGE project involves drilling two 8,000-ft. long wells in an area north of Milford, Beaver County, Utah. Cold water will be pumped into one well and heated by the rocks as it circulates, then will be pumped out of a second well.

After the heat is extracted at the surface, the cooled, circulated water will be cycled back into the first well. The laboratory will use non-potable groundwater that cannot be used for agriculture or human consumption.

Currently, geothermal power plants need two things: hot rocks at depth, which can be found practically anywhere on the planet, and hot groundwater that can be extracted at the surface. Enhanced geothermal systems like FORGE could create their own hot groundwater, making it possible to place a geothermal power plant nearly anywhere.

Contractor Boosts Productivity With engcon Tiltrotator, BY: Aaron Witt CEG CORRESPONDENT

The engcon tiltrotator is perfect for backfilling around utilities.

Technology for heavy equipment continues to evolve how work is done on job sites across America.

Advances like machine control and GPS have dramatically improved accuracy without physically changing equipment. But what about advances to the machine itself that don’t break the bank? Imagine a wrist between the stick and bucket of an excavator that enables 360degree rotation and 45 degrees of tilt in either direction.

Virtually unlimited combinations of bucket control are no longer far-fetched due to engcon, a Swedish tiltrotator manufacturer. Having been recognized as standard on equipment in Europe for decades, engcon recently expanded its business to North America.

Contractors who are focused on leveraging the latest technologies and tactics are quickly learning the benefits and blazing trails in productivity and competitiveness.

Ryan Goodfellow, owner of Rock Structures Utility & Excavating, is one.

Goodfellow started his Utah-based excavation company, Rock Structures Utility & Excavating, in the late 90’s as a means to escape an hourly wage. His company specializes in residential excavation and rock retaining walls, where they use a range of equipment including two John Deere 210G excavators, a Caterpillar 308E excavator, Caterpillar 259D and 289D skid steers, and a 624J John Deere loader. A majority of his company’s work features complex residential basements with tight corners and footings that prove difficult to dig with a conventional machine.

Goodfellow first noticed tiltrotators at ConExpo more than a decade ago, but quickly brushed them off as too expensive for his small grading business and worried about parts and support since the company was based in Europe. Continuously chal-

Ryan Goodfellow inspects his tiltrotator with EC Oil after removing the system from his machine.

Initial clearing on a slope is a breeze due to the flexibility the engcon system provides.

lenging excavations and retaining walls as the years went on, and experience with another hydraulic rotating grapple, caused him to reconsider. He attended ConExpo in 2017 to look for the best system for his needs. There, explored the engcon offerings and laid the groundwork for his future purchase.

“Engcon was the only manufacturer that was truly interested in what I was doing. They wanted my business and expressed a genuine interest,” Goodfellow said. He added that engcon stood out from its competitors by taking the time to understand his needs and reciprocating his curiosity.

For Goodfellow, saying engcon’s product is revolutionary isn’t far-fetched. The ability to rotate and angle the bucket is a complete game-changer when grading and trenching. The system works in three parts — the quick coupler with EC-Oil, the tiltrotator with EC-Oil, and the attachments.

Engcon’s systems are designed to accommodate varying attachments ranging from buckets, to compaction tools, to sweepers. The benefits of the system extend to its flexibility and ease of use. If the tiltrotator gets in the way, say while digging or loading trucks, it’s not a

problem. With the push of a button inside the cab, the entire unit is disconnected, set aside, and a bucket or hydraulic equipment is attached to the end of the stick without touching a single hydraulic line.

“I can drop the tiltrotator and go right to the attachments on the end of the stick,” said Goodfellow.

Due to engcon’s EC-Oil technology, both the quick coupler and tiltrotator have built-in oil blocks

that connect the hydraulic lines automatically. The system can go from tiltrotator with bucket to only bucket or any other hydraulic attachment in a few short moments. Goodfellow takes full advantage of the flexibility and removes / reattaches his tiltrotator and attachments throughout the day as he works on different aspects of a project.

After ConExpo, Goodfellow

decided the purchase price was well worth the benefits and he ordered the engcon EC226 tiltrotator for his John Deere 210G excavator. The new engcon came with 24, 48, and 67 in. buckets, along with a grapple for placing rock.

He’s also retrofitted his compaction wheel, hoe pack and ripper to the engcon, extending the total number of attachments to seven.

The company sent a two-person

team from the United States and Sweden in early 2017 to complete the install. Learning the tilt and rotate features took a few weeks to master, but Goodfellow and his team soon recognized the engcon system’s benefits. 90-degree angles and fine grading basements from a single location without moving the machine are now possible and the benefits when trenching are even greater.

“When I’m digging utilities, I can slope the sides of the trench so it’s safer for the guys. I can also dig underneath utilities sideways instead of having laborers hand-dig underneath, saving time and reducing their time in the trench,” Goodfellow said.

A flexible, high-quality product and a personal, attentive approach are helping to extend to the United States engcon’s long-standing reputation as a leader in tiltrotators. It goes the extra mile for its customers and designs the product to best suit their needs.

“I think tiltrotators will become standard on excavators a lot like machine guidance is currently becoming,” Goodfellow said.

UDOT Project Includes Lane Addition, Bridge Demolition

The new bridge at Triumph Boulevard will feature slip ramps to allow traffic to access the freeway traveling north.

UDOT from page 1

During demolition work coming up, they will demolish part of a structure, then start building the new structure in phases,” said Humpherys. “We’ll widen and shift traffic on it, then widen another section. That will be going on throughout the project. All the

other bridges will be redone. They will be demolished and built new.

“There are two interchanges getting completely rebuilt. On a third interchange, we’re replacing the bridge deck. There are several other bridges that will be replaced.

We won’t be able to tear down the complete structure all at once, but

This stretch is the last section of I-15 between Salt Lake City and Spanish Fork where the freeway is only four lanes.

will tear down part, build part.

They will be completely redone, except Lehi Main.

“The bridges here are being built traditionally, built in place. We are able to shift traffic and build in phases. Most of the bridges are prestressed concrete girder bridges.

They are still in design, but one will

probably be a steel girder bridge.”

During the bridge demolition, portions of the highway will be periodically closed for one to two nights. Dominion Energy also will be at work through the summer removing a gas line adjacent to I-15.

Heavy equipment on site is expected to include excavators,

loaders, graders, scrapers, dozers and pavers, as well as a 230-ton crane, 160-ton crane and 110-ton crane. The project is scheduled for completion in 2020.

Petroteq Provides Update on Plant Commissioning Petroteq Energy Inc., a company focused on the development and implementation of proprietary technologies for the energy industry, recently updated investors on the progress at the company’s heavy oil extraction facility located at Asphalt Ridge, near Vernal, Utah.

With continued focus on the final engineering, procurement and construction processes, the construction team has started to transfer production processes of the facility mining operations to the commissioning and start-up operations team for the upcoming commercial operations of the 1000 BOD/day expansion of the plant.

While the company reported on April 25th that the final stages of engineering and construction were integrating all of the operating functions to work in simultaneous progression to achieve commercial production, some logistics issues with construction and electrical material have delayed the project by a two to three-week time frame.

Since April 25, 2018, the company: • has had no loss time incidents on site and health and safety continues to be the number one priority for Petroteq’s site activities; • is completing the final stages of the construction activities on the Plant with operations personnel focused on critical path items; • is continuing development to optimize its technology, increase efficiencies for the commissioning and start-up facility processes, as well as for solvent enhancements; • has completed the foundations for the feedstock ore crusher and the conveyor system and has transferred these equipment processes to the commissioning and start-up team;

• is in the process of transferring the tank farm to the commissioning and start-up team; • is completing the extraction/distillation column construction to hand off to the commissioning and start-up team; • has completed the logistics and delivery of all required power generators, propane, nitrogen equipment and associated tie-in processes; • is completing the final topography survey and mining plan for the mining site operations; • is preparing the operations and mining teams for all required MSHA certifications and training; and • has hosted representatives of the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining at the plant on May 21, 2018 to do a “preoperations site inspection” to review the status of the project site and the alignment to DOGM guidelines and regulations.

“Petroteq’s project is going exceedingly well, notwithstanding minor logistical issues have created a slight schedule push the facility should be in full commissioning and start-up operations in the second and third week of June,” stated David Sealock, Petroteq’s CEO. “Because we are on track to initiate operations prior to the end of Q2 2018, I am delighted that the full financial impact of 1,000 BOD/day production will be realized by Petroteq in the second half of 2018. This is a momentous event in the evolution of Petroteq as a company. I also am extremely pleased with the vendor partnerships Petroteq has with the oil field construction and service companies we have on site, and their efforts are greatly appreciated. The pre-operations site inspection by the Utah Division of Oil, Gas & Mining was extremely helpful, and the knowledge and acumen of the inspection team provided some tangible benefits to our current and future oper-

ations.”

The company will continue to report on developments at the plant and will announce when the plant is in full production.

About Petroteq Energy Inc. Petroteq is a fully-integrated oil and gas company focused on the development and implementation of a new proprietary technology for oil extraction. The company has an environmentally safe and sustainable technology for the extraction of heavy oils from oil sands, oil shale deposits and shallow oil deposits.
