ABOUT

HIWAY FROM THE EDITOR According to businessinsider. com, the world currently views US airports as substandard, with antiquated facilities, poor design and inconvenient connecting terminals. The 2015 Skytrax survey of the world’s best airports highlights this further, as not one airport in the states made the top 25 in the survey.

To further highlight the dire state of airport infrastructure, Vice President Joe Biden has likened New York LaGuardia Airport to what one might find in “some third world country”.

Though US airports might be considered third-world, compared with many of the new sleeker, more passenger friendly facilities overseas, now we’re seeing first world planning here in the states. It is blatantly untrue that US airports are falling down, but rather are rising to new heights and setting new standards for the rest of the world. Under this shift, the North America region now ranks as one of the top three regions in the world for the highest investment for capital improvement projects.

These projects include new and upgraded terminals, runways and taxiways, lighting and passenger amenities.

As Halmar passes it 55th year of operation this issue takes a look back at the multitude of airport work we have done in the Northeast region from cargo buildings and terminals to runways, taxiways and parking structures! Halmar is uniquely placed to be in integral part of the expansion and rebuilding of our airports. We hope you enjoy the issue!

WELCOME TO THE AVIATION EDITION OF HI-WAY, THE HALMAR NEWSLETTER! DEAR EMPLOYEES On behalf of the executive team and our marketing department, we are pleased to publish the fourth issue of Hi-Way, Halmar’s employee newsletter. This fourth issue is focused on Aviation. Halmar’s Aviation projects past and present - and Aviation projects of the future, projects that Halmar will aggressively pursue going forward.

We focus on nearly a decade of work Halmar performed at JFK in the nineties and the beginning of the new millennium. How we played a major role in the JFK Redevelopment Program, working on three of the major passenger terminals, one of the major runways, a host of taxiways, roads, bridges, parking garages, toll plazas, and a U.S. customs facility and a large perishables warehouse facility, both on the airport. (See airport map on Page 16-17). Halmar’s major role in the JFK redevelopment was a significant factor in Halmar’s growth in revenue and reputation, and helped put Halmar on the national stage.

Operator Awareness Program to meet new emissions requirements.

Halmar also performd work at Newark Airport, building a monorail station, and currently is still performing work at LaGuardia infrastructure, as part of the LaGuardia Airport Redevelopment Project.

HALMAR AIRPORT PORTFOLIO

Looking to the future, there is major airport work planned at Newark Liberty Airport, Stewart International Airport and Long Island McArthur Airport. We look forward to leveraging our successful airport track record to capture a share of these upcoming opportunities.

More than two decades of continued success building and being part of NYC’s aviation industry.

HALMAR SOCIAL

The culture inside the Halmar family...Halloween costumes, new borns & that Halmar-swag?

HALMAR SPORTS

Just completing its second year as a Halmar Race team, our drivers and their dedicated crew have put Halmar Racing on the map.

And since much of the airport work on the horizon will be at New York area r airports, we thought you would enjoy a a nostalgic look back at the history of the 3 big airports in the New York area beginning on page 12.

We hope you enjoy this issue’s focus on Aviation, along with all the regular columns including Current Project Updates, Halmars’ Social Page and Sports Page, and the Innovation column, for a look at the future of concrete forming that is here today – 3D printing!

We’d like to thank all of you for your interest in Hi-Way and the positive feedback. We hope you enjoy this and other forthcoming issues, each one an individual building block in the great construct that is our history... and our future. This is HI-Way.

PATH Harrison Station Replacement Project Manager: Terrence O’Connell

One Vanderbuilt

Project Manager: Anthony Manganiello & James Ku

One Vanderbilt is a new project that we’re working on with a private developer, SL Green Realty. The project is part of the $200M infrastructure modifications and off-site transit improvements for the new One Vanderbilt skyscraper that will be NYC’s 2nd tallest building, located next to Grand Central Terminal, to be completed by year 2020. The off-site transit improvements include a 2-Phase project for MTA New York City Transit Authority. Halmar’s work for Phase 1 of the project is to rehabilitate an existing decommissioned pedestrian tunnel, the Mobil Passageway located under 42nd Street, and create a new subway entrance at 42nd Street and Lexington Avenue to connect with the Grand Central

HIWAY | 8

Terminal mezzanine for pedestrian access. Also in Phase 1 of the project is to construct the P-10 Stair that is a new 7’-6” metal staircase that connects the Grand Central Mezzanine to the southbound 4, 5, 6 subway platform. This P-10 Stair requires opening up the basement level of the 125 Park Avenue Pershing Building, located at Park Avenue and 42nd Street, including concrete and steel demolition, structural excavation, and new concrete construction. Halmar’s Phase 1 work started in October 2016 and is slated to be complete by July 30, 2017. We are currently working on the demolition in the 125 Park Avenue Pershing Building basement and structural excavation for the new P-10 Stair.

Approximately 60% of the overall project has been negotiated to date – East Station Houses and Platforms. The Port Authority has not yet decided how they will proceed with the West Station Houses.

The Northeast Station House and Platform structure is completed and awaiting curtain wall, which is scheduled for this Summer 2017.

Electrical/HVAC roughing and finish work is ongoing. The Northeast station house is scheduled to be commissioned April 2018, pending PA issuance of several design changes. The Ben Harjay building demolition at the southeast quadrant has been completed and is currently being used as a laydown area. The Southeast Station House platform caisson and soldier pile installation began in September 2016 and is scheduled to be completed in March 2018.

The SE platform/canopy will be installed after completion, followed by the station house minipiles/foundation. The Southeast structural steel work is scheduled to be completed by December 2017 and commissioned December 2018, pending PA issuance of several design changes.

About LaGuardia source: www.laguardia.com

In 2015, LaGuardia handled 28.4 million passengers. The airport also employs 11,000 people and generates more than $15.6 billion to the economy.

LaGuardia Airport Conveniently located eight miles from midtown Manhattan in the borough of Queens, New York, LaGuardia Airport serves millions of people each year. Since 1947, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey has operated LaGuardia under a lease with New York City. The airport sits on 680 acres, has two 7,000 ft main runways and four terminal buildings that house up to 72 aircraft gates.

Our History Opened in 1939, LaGuardia Airport was built on the site of the old Gala Amusement Park at a cost of $40 million. Once called the Overseas Terminal, and then the Marine Air Terminal, Terminal A was the original airport terminal building, serving international flights throughout the 1940s. In 1995, the terminal was designated a historic landmark.

Terminal B, also know as the Central Terminal Building, opened in 1964 followed

by Terminals C and D in 1983 and 1992.

Today, LaGuardia Airport handles millions of passengers, millions of tons of cargo and is an important economic engine for the New York-New Jersey region.

Our Future At just eight miles from midtown Manhattan, LaGuardia Airport is a central, accessible transportation hub for millions of people and goods.

HIWAY | 18

As demand for air travel continues, an extensive redevelopment program is coming to LaGuardia to create world-class airport facilities for passengers and airlines alike.

Some of the major improvements include replacing Terminal B, adding more taxiways and passenger walkways to reduce connection delays and enhancing food and retail offerings. To learn more about what’s in store, visit our redevelopment section.

The comprehensive redesign of LaGuardia

HIWAY | 19

Airport involves transforming LaGuardia into a unified airport with a main terminal, better transportation access with a future air train, more taxiways and best-in-class passenger amenities. “Our plan will fundamentally transform LaGuardia – replacing what is now an outdated and poorly designed complex with the world-class airport New York has always deserved.” Governor Andrew M. Cuomo Construction of the new unified terminal – Terminal B – is expected to be a $4 billion project creating 8,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs.

LaGuardia Gateway Partners – a consortium company of airport experts – will design, build, manage and maintain LaGuardia’s Terminal B under a 35-year lease agreement with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Track with Port Authority Project New Layout Designed to Reduce LaGuardia’s Current Plague of Aircraft Ground Congestion and Gate Delays, and Set Stage for World-Class Passenger Experience Governor Cuomo was joined recently by Vice President Joe Biden to unveil the vision for the comprehensive redesign of LaGuardia Airport. The airport will be transformed into a single, structurally unified main terminal with expanded transportation access, significantly increased taxiway space and best-in-class passenger amenities. Construction on the first half of the new unified terminal, expected to be a $4 billion project that creates 8,000 direct jobs and 10,000 indirect jobs, will be managed by LaGuardia Gateway Partners, a new public private partnership chosen by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to build the project Construction on the first half will begin upon final approval from the Board of Directors of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. That approval is expected in the first part of 2016; the majority of this first half of the project is expected to open to passengers in 2019, with full completion scheduled for approximately 18 months later. The second half of the new unified terminal is expected to be redeveloped by Delta Air Lines, which has indicated strong support for the new vision, and anticipates beginning the redevelopment of its terminals on a parallel track with the LaGuardia Gateway Partners project to complete the new unified airport.

“New York had an aggressive, can-do approach to big infrastructure in the past – and today, we’re moving forward with that attitude once again,” said Governor Cuomo.

“We are transforming LaGuardia into a globally-renowned, 21st century airport that is worthy of the city and state of New York.

It’s the perfect metaphor for what we can achieve with the ambition and optimism and energy that made this the Empire State

in the first place, and I want to thank our many partners for joining us to build the airport that New York deserves.”.

Video of a presentation that details the redesign, led by Dan Tishman, CEO of Tishman Construction Company and Chair of the Governor’s Airport Master Plan Advisory Panel, can be viewed here.

Dan Tishman said, “On behalf of the advisory panel, I want to thank the port authority and the port chairman for working with us so professionally, and I want to thank the Governor for his leadership and support. For me, this has been an engaging and rewarding experience. This is our vision – this is Governor Cuomo’s vision – this is reimagining New York.”

The recommendation for a single, unified terminal is included in a sweeping LaGuardia redesign, developed by the Governor’s Airport Master Plan Advisory Panel, and released today. The report, which can be viewed here, presents the Panel’s recommendations, which will enable LaGuardia to meet the demands of the 21st century.

SINGLE, UNIFIED TERMINAL wLaGuardia’s current terminal layout, comprised of multiple, fragmented terminals (photo here), will be replaced by one main, architecturally unified terminal. This will be accomplished by demolishing the existing Terminal B building, which is operated by the Port Authority, and replacing it with a larger structure, located closer to the Grand Central Parkway, which will include new terminal space and a new Central Arrivals and Departures Hall, and will link to Delta’s Terminals C and D. This represents the western half of the new structurally unified terminal.

The eastern half of the new unified terminal will be constructed on a parallel track by Delta Air Lines redeveloping its existing Terminals closer to the Grand Central Parkway

and connecting them to the new Central Arrivals and Departures Hall. Delta Air Lines is strongly supportive of this plan, and will move forward with the Panel’s recommendations in parallel with the construction schedule for the new space and Central Hall.

TERMINAL LOCATION & ISLAND-GATES To utilize LaGuardia’s geographic footprint more efficiently, the new terminal facility will be built closer to the Grand Central Parkway. The redesigned facility will also utilize an island-gate system, in which passengers access their gates via raised pedestrian bridges, high enough for aircraft to taxi underneath, which connect back to the main terminal. A rendering of the island-gate system can be viewed here.

Together, the relocated terminals and island-gate system will create nearly two miles of new taxiway space. This allows for a more efficient circulation of aircraft and reduced taxi-in and taxi-out times, which will yield shorter and fewer gate delays – a dramatic difference from today’s LaGuardia.

In addition, this change will produce overall reduction in carbon emissions from idling aircraft.

EXPANDING TRANSPORTATION ACCESS As part of his 2015 Opportunity Agenda,

Governor Cuomo proposed creating an AirTrain option that directly connects LaGuardia to the New York City subway and Long Island Rail Road at Mets-Willets Point Station.

The panel supports the Governor’s call for this AirTrain option, and the new LaGuardia’s unified terminal will be designed to incorporate a future AirTrain terminal.

The Panel recommends that the airport once again be made accessible by ferry service. The panel also calls for an enhanced road configuration to improve passenger access and reduce traffic on local streets in the airport’s vicinity, including the Grand Central Parkway.

The interior of the new unified terminal will also be intuitive for passengers to easily navigate, and will facilitate efficient movement throughout the airport. A transit option to move passengers more quickly within the airport is recommended by the Panel, such as a tram or monorail, to be included as construction moves forward. This transit option would also better integrate the Marine Air Terminal (Terminal A) with the rest of the airport housed in the new unified terminal.

IMPROVING PASSENGER EXPERIENCE Taking into account the realities of post9/11 air travel, the Panel recommends that the new unified facility contain additional

space for security check-in, which will help diminish wait times for passengers as they pass through mandatory TSA screening.

The facility – both in its individual terminals and the central hall – will also be built with significant height and openness in order to allow for a superior passenger experience, clearer signage, greater use of natural light and overall aesthetic improvements. The central hall will also be designed with space for best-in-class passenger amenities in retail, dining, and business and conference center capabilities, as well as the option to include a 200-room boutique hotel option convenient for travelers.

INCREASING STORM RESILIENCY During Superstorm Sandy, approximately 100 million gallons of saltwater flooded the airport and shut it down for two days, impacting 250,000 passengers and causing an estimated economic loss to the region of roughly $108 million. With this in mind, the Panel recommends elevating critical infrastructure in order to keep the airport operational during a flood event and better prepare the airport for similar extreme weather events.

Currently, the neighborhoods in the immediate vicinity of LaGuardia experience significant automobile traffic on local roads and the Grand Central Parkway from passengers either parking outside of the airport’s ground or from motorists waiting to pick up passengers from the airport as they arrive.

Under the new design plan, the Panel recommends increasing parking options on-site and identifying a location for a cell phone waiting area in order to reduce congestion on local streets. Additionally, the Panel also recommends a new rental car facility be created to concentrate the ten car rental companies that currently serve LaGuardia from multiple dispersed locations, further reducing congestion.

The Panel has recommended that the Port Authority will ensure that the project’s employment reflects a broad spectrum of the communities in the region, and should recognize Governor Cuomo’s goal of 30 percent MWBE participation. It will also build on the Port Authority’s longstanding commitment to supporting Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ADCBE).

Currently, LaGuardia contributes more than $16 billion in economic activity to the region

Construction is one of the main areas 3D printing has been projected to impact substantially, all along. It also tends to be the example of choice for critics asking what happened to all those lofty architectural plans that have yet to be seen on the ground.

The research divides the 3D concrete printing market into the following submarkets: Product Type: •Walls •Floors and roofs •Panels and lintels •Others (staircases and paving slabs) By concrete type: •Ready-mix concrete •Precast concrete •Shotcrete •High-density concrete •Others (lightweight concrete, limecrete, and stamped concrete)

By Software: •Design •Inspection •Printing

By End-Use Sector: •Architectural construction •Industrial construction •Domestic construction •Residential •Commercial •Others (sports, education, and healthcare)

By Region: •North America •Europe •Asia-Pacific •RoW (UAE and other countries in RoW) The Research and Markets team believes that as the global economy continues to recover, further demand can be expected HIWAY | 25

HALMAR EQUIPMENT FROM THE YARD

Accordning to a NY Times article published on August 17th, 2016 “The Obama administration on Tuesday issued aggressive new emissions standards for heavy-duty trucks. The rules are expected to achieve better fuel efficiency and a bigger cut in pollution than the version that was first proposed last year.

Officials said the new standards would require up to a 25 percent reduction in carbon emissions for big tractor-trailers over the next 10 years, and somewhat smaller improvements for delivery trucks, school buses and other large vehicles.

Over all, administration officials said the new rules would cut 1.1 billion metric tons of carbon emissions through 2027 and represent a global benchmark for reducing vehicle-exhaust pollutants linked to climate change.

The carbon-reduction target is 10 percent more than when the rules were proposed last year, and was made tougher after a public comment period.” (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/17/business/ energy-environment/epa-truck-emission-sta dards.html?_r=1)

for 3D printing and specifically that with concrete, leading to a market projected to be worth $56.4 million by 2021.

Leading the pack will be Asia Pacific. The research company sees this region as growing the fastest, offering the biggest demand, and being open to the use of the technology and materials. High incomes with disposable cash will obviously propel 3D printing with concrete in construction along. Not surprisingly, China is expected to be the fastest growing country for the use of 3D printing with concrete from a global perspective,

with all the elements in place: government interest and encouragement, standardization efforts, growing need, developing technologies, and, of course, an awareness of the new tools, materials and all the benefits that can be found in using them.

Obvious obstacles to be considered are that of the amount of investment capital this technology can require—not to mention research and development—along with understanding how to use the hardware and put automation techniques into motion.

The study was meant to answer questions for stakeholders and potential investors, allowing them to understand which markets should be focused on for ‘prioritizing efforts and investments.’ The target audience for the reports includes raw materials suppliers, 3D concrete printing manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, real-estate agents, consulting firms, and more. For more information on this study, see Research and Markets. Discuss further in the 3D Concrete Printing Industry forum over at 3DPB.com.

As new emission requirements come into play within our industry, it is now critical to either add Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) or Regenerate the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). We are finding that a great many of our operators and even superintendents do not understand or are not even aware of having to do so with the

newer machines. In order to get a get acclimated with this change in our industry we would like to implement and ‘Operator Awareness’ or vendor led instructional demonstration on the importance of and procedure to comply to these requirements in an effort to eliminate potential and unnecessary downtime.

Acronyms Defined (Courtesy of Wikipedia): A diesel particulate filter (or DPF) is a device designed to remove diesel particulate matter or soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. Wallflow diesel particulate filters usually remove 85% or more of the soot, and under certain conditions can attain soot removal efficiencies approaching 100%. Some filters are single-use, intended for disposal and replacement once full of accumulated ash.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is a solution made from 67.5% purified water and 32.5 percent automotive-grade urea that serves as a carrying agent for the ammonia needed to reduce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from diesel engines. When DEF is injected into the engine exhaust gas, downstream of the DPF, it will be rapidly hydrolyzed producing the oxidizing ammonia needed by the SCR catalyst to complete NOx emissions reductions. DEF begins to freeze at 12 degrees Fahrenheit (-11 degrees Celsius), manufacturers are incorporating a heating system to prevent this.

SMALL TOOL TRACKING Small tool tracking is an issue on any jobsite in the construction industry.

It is a challenge that will be met with aggressive measure to ensure more control in the future. We will be looking into updating our tracking/ maintenance systems for small tools in the coming year. We are currently looking into various GPS and RFID tracking systems to help simplify and regulate small equipment purchases between projects.
