Successful projects

Are built with teamwork.

It’s really quite simple. Successful projects happen when Labor and Management share the same priorities. And when the highest priority is having a team of safe, well-trained workers on the jobsite, those projects are completed on time and on budget. So who keeps everyone on target? We do.

We’re the Indiana, Illinois, Iowa Foundation for Fair Contracting. We bring Labor and Management together to assist public bodies and contractors with OSHA, contract compliance and other contracting matters, while striving to secure work for responsible contractors.

Manufacturing Hope The Alliance for American Manufacturing (AAM) brought its “Keep It Made in America” tour to northern Indian in October. The group, a partnership between the United Steelworkers and manufacturers like ArcelorMittal, hosted a dozen such events along the East Coast and in the Midwest this fall to “spread the gospel of manufacturing,” as Executive Director Scott Paul puts it. That evening Paul, keynote speaker Ron Bloom, Senior Counselor to the President for Manufacturing Policy and a blue-ribbon panel of local and national leaders were all preaching to the choir. Here in Indiana we understand what manufacturing means to our people and communities. Over the past decade, 50,000 manufacturing facilities across the U.S. have closed their doors and an estimated 5.5 million manufacturing jobs have been lost. But while Indiana was among those hurt, our state’s manufacturing sector remains strong: more than 450,000 Hoosiers still work in manufacturing, making it the second-largest piece of the state’s economic puzzle. Moreover, across the state, government leaders, business executives and educators are coming together in increasing numbers to devise ways to build the skilled manufacturing workforce we will need to compete going forward. Right now, conventional wisdom says that manufacturing in Indiana will continue a slow decline, leaking taxes and good jobs out of our state. But conventional wisdom can be wrong. “Cutting-edge, high-tech manufacturing has always been America’s hallmark,” Bloom said. “Look at Henry Ford: his key to success was working smarter, not harder. But in order to be successful, we must work together.”

BUSINESS BUZZ A 16-man crew from the International Longshoremen’s Association works to load a 388-ton electrical transformer onto a 20-axle railcar at the Port of Indiana – Burns Harbor in August.

Port Celebrates 40th Anniversary with Record Cargoes

booming Burns Harbor port celebrated its 40th anniversary in October amidst an ongoing banner year. Not only is Indiana’s first port setting a blistering overall pace in 2010, with 693,000 tons of overall shipments through July, a 52 percent increase versus the same period in 2009, but it’s also setting records for everything from project shipment size to railcar length in the process. “It’s an exciting time around here right now,” Port Director Peter Laman said during a special ceremony commemorating the anniversary. “This port is truly becoming the preferred destination for wind cargo shipments in and out of the Midwest because of our modern facilities, the central location and our extremely efficient terminal operations.” In October, Burns Harbor finished receiving a project cargo shipment that is by far the largest ever to come through the Lake Michigan port, a shipment of 134 complete wind turbine units destined for a Bloomington, IL, wind farm. Arriving on 11 ships from two shipping lines – Canada Steamship Lines and Flinter Shipping – from various www.buildingindiananews.com

locations around the Great Lakes, the turbines required 20 total acres of storage space around the port. They were unloaded by port terminal operator Federal Marine Terminals, with a labor force from the International Longshoremen’s Association and the International Union of Operating Engineers. This year, the port also handled its first outgoing shipment of wind equipment as two shiploads of turbines from the Acciona Windpower plant in Iowa were exported through the port to Nova Scotia. The record-setting turbine shipment came on the heels of one of the biggest single cargoes in the port’s history: a 388-ton electrical transformer that arrived in August on the ship Beluga Recognition from Cordoba, Spain, and was transferred at the port onto the largest railcar ever to enter the facility. The transformer was loaded onto a 20axle railcar for its trip to Ottawa, IL, for installation at the LaSalle County Nuclear Generating Station, which supplies electricity to Chicago and northern Illinois. The combined weight of the railcar and transformer was more than 1.3 million pounds, or 650 tons. “We’ve seen a significant increase in

project cargo shipments this year,” Laman noted. Burns Harbor saw just 18,000 tons of project cargo in the first half of 2009, versus nearly 70,000 tons through July of 2010. It has been a long and sometimes bumpy road to this year’s records. While the Port of Indiana opened in 1970 and handled its first ship in May of that year, its origin stretches all the way back to 1939, when the Indiana Board of Public Harbors and Terminals was established to negotiate for land acquisition and construction of a public port. In 1957, the Indiana General Assembly appropriated $2 million for land acquisition for a port in Porter County. While the St. Lawrence Seaway officially opened up the Great Lakes to international ships in 1959, Indiana did not formally select a port site until 1961, and the groundbreaking did not take place until Oct. 10, 1966. Since opening in 1970, Indiana’s first port has grown significantly and now contributes about $3.5 billion to the state economy. For a detailed look at its contribution – and that of its sister ports at Jeffersonville and Mount Vernon – see page 54 of this year’s Facts & Stats report. 9

Northwest IEDC Taps Morris for Recruiting Post The Indiana Economic Development Corporation has named Leigh Morris its first Director of Business Recruitment for Northwest Indiana. Morris will resign from his post as a Deputy Commissioner with the Indiana Department of Transportation in order to focus on business development efforts in Northwest Indiana. He will work alongside Jim Staton, IEDC’s Director of Business Development in the region. Morris is also the current Chairman of the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority.

Hospital Adopts Electronic Records Technology Methodist Hospitals has instituted EPIC, a new data-sharing system which links all hospital departments and specialties, creating a single electronic record for each patient. The system, the first in the region, gives Methodist healthcare providers immediate access to real-time patient information, increasing efficiency and the ability to provide the best care.

In addition to streamlining care, EPIC also enhances patient safety. Before administering medications, nurses scan the medication and a bar-coded wrist band worn by the patient. The system the confirms it’s the correct medication, doseage and time of day for the dose. EPIC also delivers automatic alerts to warn of drug allergies and potential interactions or complications when a medication is initially prescribed. Treatment orders, medication orders, and chart notes are also entered directly into the EPIC system, reducing the chance of miscommunication and misinterpretation.

University Gets Ferry Study Grant The Great Lakes Maritime Research Institute has awarded a $20,000 grant to Purdue University North Central’s Department of Engineering Technology to study the feasibility of using a ferry to transport tractor-trailers across Lake Michigan. Department Chair Dr. Thomas F. Brady believes that using ferries to move trucks between Michigan and Wisconsin will alleviate traffic congestion on the Chicagoland highway corridor. He notes that ferries are successfully being used on Lake Erie.

Contractor Forms Live Line Repair Unit The American Group of Constructors (TAG) has expanded its menu of service options, forming a Live Line Repair Group to meet the growing demand for pipe repair solutions that can

be carried out without costly production shutdowns. TAG is the first union contractor in Northwest Indiana to offer Live Line Repair. “The benefit is that companies can continue to manufacture without having to lose any production time,” says Randall Franklin, Manager of the Live Line Repair Group. TAG brought Franklin, a veteran of Houston, TX-based pipe repair specialists EA Services, aboard in August specifically because of his knowledge and expertise in the field of Live Line Repair. Live Line Repair requires the latest in hardware technology and sealants, as well as specialized training and experience in non-destructive repair procedures and dealing with the unexpected. “You might have to deal with high pressures or high temperatures,” Franklin says. “The jobs are completely different from one to another. No two are the same.” TAG’s Live Line Repair Group can fix all alloy tower trays; pipe, valve and fittings; pressure vessels; and exchangers. Methods of repair utilize the latest in pipe clamping, sealants, enclosures, bonders and composite wrap technologies. Live Line Repair “is a growing market,” Franklin says. “Part of that is education: people don’t know that it exists. But demand is increasing with the knowledge that itís an option. The bottom line is, we keep your facility running.”

Crown Point Lands New Company Diversified Marketing Strategies (DMS) has established a new corporate headquarters in Crown Point in the Arrowhead Industrial Park. DMS, publisher of Building indiana brings nine jobs to the city and plans further growth in 2011. “The City of Crown Point is happy to welcome Diversified Marketing Strategies to the community,” said Crown Point Mayor David Uran. “Small businesses are the engine of the U.S. economy and growing firms like Diversified Marketing Strategies are key to our continued economic recovery.” Since last January, DMS has increased its staff by a third and opened satellite offices in Indianapolis and Warsaw, giving the company a total of three offices and 12 employees statewide. “At the beginning of the year, we expanded circulation of Building indiana from northern Indiana to the entire state,” said Andrea M. Pearman, President of DMS. “We also launched the Midwest Smoke Out, which attracted 1,500 cigar aficionado, making it the largest cigar show in the Midwest; The Big Schmooze, in cooperation with the United Ways of Lake and Porter Counties; and the Beyond Safety Conference & Expo.” The company chose Crown Point for several reasons, including its convenient location, favorable tax climate, vibrant business community and forward-thinking leadership. “I have always been impressed with both the business and civic leadership of Crown Point, and when the need arose for more space, it was never a question of, ‘where should we go?’ but rather one of ‘where in Crown Point should we go?’” Pearman says.

Coke Substitute Facilities Approved U.S. Steel’s Gary Works has gotten environmental approval from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to build and operate a www.buildingindiananews.com

new coke substitute facility. In return for permission to build the new facility, U.S. Steel agreed to reduce air pollution at other units. The company plans to construct four of the coke substitute plants, which will produce a carbon alloy that will replace 40 percent of the traditional coke used at the mill. The approvals cover two of the $220 million modules. U.S. Steel says the project will create 500 temporary jobs during the two-to-three-year construction period.

La Porte Company Lands Southern Indiana Bridge Project Walsh Construction Co. of La Porte has won the job of replacing the Madison-Milton Bridge connecting Madison, Indiana with Milton, Kentucky. The Northwest Indiana construction company submitted a low bid of $103 million, 20 percent lower than the originally estimated cost, and said it could do the job while closing the bridge for just 10 days rather than an anticipated yearlong closure. The new bridge superstructure is expected to be open to traffic atop reha-

bilitated vertical piers by September 15, 2012, making it the fastest bridge ever to be built over the Ohio River. The innovative construction method will slide the 3,181-foot-long truss into place along steel rails and plates. Walsh teamed up with Buckland & Taylor Ltd., which designed the similar Old Capilano Bridge replacement in North Vancouver, British Columbia. The Madison-Milton Bridge was built in 1929 and is too narrow for modern traffic. Its estimated remaining useful life is 10 years. The new bridge will look similar to the existing steel truss, but will include wider lanes and accommodations for bicycles and pedestrians.

VU Plans New Welcome Center Valparaiso University has unveiled plans for a 14,000- square-foot welcome center at the south entrance to the campus just north of U.S. 30. It will house the admissions office, visitor programs, the transfer enrollment and international enrollment offices, the recruiting office, and several conference rooms. The university hopes to have the new welcome center ready by the fall of 2011.

South Bend Airport Traffic Increasing August 2010 reports show that total passenger traffic at South Bend Regional Airport (SBN) was up 5.32 percent over August 2009, the first increase since April 2008. Competitive prices, nonstop flights to vacation destinations, hub connectivity, travel agency support, and affordable parking were all cited as contributors to the airport’s growing popularity. A total of 55,857 passengers chose to fly through SBN in August. Nearly every SBN carrier experienced an increase. Allegiant Air, whose passenger totals were up 35 percent, carried 10,803 total passengers for the month. United Express reported a 5.9 percent increase and Delta Air Lines, SBN’s largest carrier, reported serving nearly 28,000 passengers this month, a

www.buildingindiananews.com

3.9 percent increase over August 2009. Airport officials are cautiously optimistic that the momentum will continue; these increases can be partly attributed to increased capacity at the airport. “With new nonstop flight options such as Phoenix/Mesa and total SBN seat capacity up 5.1 percent, travelers in the Michiana region are seeing additional flight options and more reasons to travel,” said Executive Director John Schalliol. The first phase of the airport’s new 45,000-square-foot concourse expansion wass on schedule for completion in November 2010. The terminal will feature five new gates and increased passenger amenities including a full-service deli, business center, gift shop, and children’s play area.

Logistics Summit Explores Road to Future L

ogistics leaders from across Indiana and beyond gathered in Indianapolis in October for the annual Logistics Summit put on by the Ports of Indiana and Purdue University. Featuring transportation experts from both industry and government, the two-day affair addressed a broad spectrum of industry concerns, ranging from the strength of the nation’s economic recovery to specific benefits and advantages of Indiana when it comes to logistics-related businesses. Held at the Crown Plaza Hotel, the Summit also served to debut the Ports’ 2010 Logistics Directory, which among other things highlights the 38 logistics-related categories in which Indiana ranks in the top 10 (see page 52 for the complete list). Highlights of these include:

Chad Pittman, Executive Vice President of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, reported on Indiana’s jobs outlook.

• More than a fifth – 21 percent – of the nation’s primary metals begin their journey in Indiana, more than the total of all 40 states not in the top 10 combined. Moreover, Indiana ranks second in terms of tons of primary metals terminated, with 13 percent of the nation’s total arriving here. • Indianapolis International Airport is the U.S.’s sixth-largest cargo airport, topping O’Hare in Chicago and New York’s J.F.K. The Indianapolis airport is also home to the world’s second-largest FedEx hub. • Indiana ranks 7th in exports to Canada, and 9th in exports to Mexico. • The state’s 400 miles of navigable waterways on the Ohio River and Lake Michigan are host to the nation’s 7th-largest domestic waterborne shipping operation. Experts speaking at the Summit painted a mixed picture of the year to come. While there was a burst in freight demand early in 2010, it was attributed largely to companies rebuilding inventories and was unlikely to be sustained in 2011. Transportation companies were urged to examine their structures given that the U.S. trade imbalance is expected to worsen again after closing in 2010, leading to a decline in the dollar. This is good news for the country overall, since a weaker dollar will boost the value of America’s exports, but the U.S. logistics industry is still geared more toward imports, not exports. Rail and waterborne shipping capacity were not seen as issues. However, air cargo space could www.buildingindiananews.com

be dropping as airlines merge and bring on new planes like the 787 which have reduced belly capacity for carrying cargo. A key logistics issue facing Indiana moving forward is the financing of the $4 billion Ohio River Bridges project between southern Indiana and Louisville, KY. The massive highway junction on the Louisville side of the river, known derisively as “Spaghetti Junction,” is ranked as the 14th-worst highway interchange in the U.S. It is so bad that the National Guard has declared it a “no-go” zone, refusing to try and move convoys through it due to congestion. A bi-state authority is currently exploring all options to find the money to reconfigure the junction and build two new bridges over the Ohio River. A second project finally coming up over the horizon is a dedicated truck lane on Interstate 70 stretching from Kansas City, MO through Illinois and central Indiana and on through Ohio. Originally proposed in 2007, the first phase of a feasibility study was completed in 2010, and Summit participants expected the project to continue to accumulate interest and support.

STATE OF THE INDUSTRY

A United

Front United Way organizations across Indiana look to get the word out about this year’s matching grant program.

By Dewey Pearman, Executive Director, Construction Advancement Foundation

arlier this year, Building indiana hosted a new event, The Big Schmooze, in conjunction with the United Ways of Lake and Porter counties. The event had a twofold purpose: first, to honor those from Northwest Indiana who appeared in the magazine’s Who’s Who issue; and second, to help the Lake Area United Way and Porter County United Way kick off their annual giving campaigns. All too often, companies and their employees approach these annual United Way campaigns with little enthusiasm. But the economic downturn of the past two years has highlighted the value that United Way organizations bring to their communities. For example, last year the Lake Area United Way provided services to nearly 300,000 people in the region. In central Indiana, a group of local funders – including United Way of Central Indiana – came together to form the Community Economic Relief Fund (CERF), which helped to provide services like housing assistance, utilities, food, transportation and childcare to 52,740 people in 2009, including 18,260 who were in need for the first time. In Northeastern Indiana, The United Way of Kosciusko County helped to support 60 local education, family stabilization and health programs ranging from after school programs to food banks to home care and transportation for seniors. With the economic recovery expected to proceed slowly in 2011, the number of www.buildingindiananews.com

people looking to groups and organizations funded by the United Ways around the state will almost certainly remain higher than normal. At the same time, donations have slipped as both people and companies have less to give. The answer, of course, is for those who don’t currently donate to the United Way to come forward.

figures are available. While than was 11 percent fewer households than in 2003, the average gift per household was 21 percent higher. The most common reason that many households had stopped giving was that the organizations they were donating to misled them about the work they were doing. I would urge such households to ex-

In 2006, approximately 90 percent of Indiana corporations reported making a charitable contribution. Now is the perfect time to do so not only because the need is there, but also because the Indiana Association of United Ways has established a matching grant program. For existing donors, this program will match any amount they give over what they donated last year. For new donors, the grant will match the entire amount. Many Hoosiers have already responded to the opportunity. For instance, the Howard County United Way reported in November that it had received more than $60,000 in donations from 510 match givers, 322 of whom were new donors. But if more people knew about the program, more would undoubtedly give. The people of Indiana are historically generous when it comes to charitable giving. According to the Center on Philanthropy at Indiana University, nearly 60 percent of Indiana households made charitable contributions in 2006, the last year for which

plore supporting their local United Ways. They can be trusted, as seen the support they receive from the business community. In 2006, approximately 90 percent of Indiana corporations surveyed by the Center reported making a charitable contribution, with public-society benefit organizations such as the United Way receiving the largest share of funding. Likewise, Indiana foundations such as the Lilly Endowment also strongly support such organizations, which received more than 25 percent of foundation grants in 2006. Hoosiers also prefer to give to local organizations. Nearly 80 percent of those surveyed by the Center in 2006 gave on a local basis. With the United Ways, 100 percent of donations remain within the community. Pass the word along – even small donations can make a big difference right now. 29

FACTS AND STATS 2010 Indiana continues to outperform the region and the nation in many key areas, setting the stage for further gains in 2011.

ack in 1997, British band Chumbawamba went to No. 6 on the U.S. pop charts with “Tubthumping,” a song which featured the catchy refrain, “I get knocked down, but I get up again. You’re never gonna keep me down.” That’s as good a summary of Indiana in 2010 as you’re likely to find. Despite a seemingly relentless series of employment blows, many due to the decline and retrenchment in the automotive industry, the people and leadership of Indiana kept getting back up and kept fighting. By the middle of the year, that dogged determination began to pay off: according to the U.S. Department of Labor, the state added 55,500 jobs between December of 2009 and July 2010 – a 2.4 percent increase, four times the national average improvement. And companies continued to lay out plans as the year rolled on. Just a few examples: Colorado solar panel manufacturer Abound snapped up an abandoned plant in Tipton and announced plans to hire 850 by 2013, only to have surging demand accelerate the timetable so that hiring could start late next year. Biomedical giant Biomet revealed plans to add nearly 300 jobs at www.buildingindiananews.com

its Warsaw headquarters in August, just a day after Michiganbased Continental Structural Plastics promised $9 million to start an operation in Huntington that could eventually employ 350. Wireless management company Mobi dialed up

projections for more than 250 new jobs in Zionsville in September. And in November, the Indiana Economic Development Corporation issued seven new announcements in five days totaling more than 2,500 jobs, headlined by plans for a

locomotive manufacturing plant in a vacant building in Muncie that could employ up to 650 by 2012. Said Gov. Mitch Daniels at that announcement, “weeks like this remind us that Indiana is a leader in private sector jobs creation because we’ve built the best sandbox for business. I can’t think of a better way to cap off the week - a major investment from a company that is a recognized leader in one of America’s great industries and hundreds of new jobs moving into a building that has long been vacant.” Indiana’s strengths, from its top-10 positions in nearly 40 logistics-related categories to its competitive business climate to its quality of life – according to Forbes magazine, the state is home to two of the top 11 small cities in which to raise a family, Columbus (No. 10) and Warsaw (no. 11) – and more, make a strong case that the state’s future is bright. In the following pages, you’ll find where we stand – and why they’re never gonna keep us down.

Methodist Hospitals is the first Northwest Indiana hospital to implement Epic: The advanced technology solution that creates a single, hospital-wide electronic record for every patient. This leading-edge technology gives Methodist physicians and staff real-time access to complete patient records for every hospital department and specialty. That means better patient care and service throughout the hospital, including registration, scheduling and accounting. Epic also helps improve patient safety. It stores every patient’s medication and treatment orders and provides alerts for patient allergies and potential drug interactions.

What the Region’s first hospital-wide implementation of the Epic electronic medical record means to patients... Streamlined Registration

opinion page Coming Attractions Now that we’ve taken a look at where Indiana stands today, what does the crystal ball have to say about 2011?

By George Vlahakis, Manager, Media Relations, Indiana University

he Business Outlook Panel from Indiana University’s Kelley School of Business made its annual rounds of the state in November, painting a picture of slow growth nationally in 2011, but offering up hope that Indiana may perform a bit better than average. “The past year has been one of disappointingly weak recovery, and, sadly, we expect that 2011 will bring more of the same,” said Bill Witte, panel member and Associate Professor Emeritus of Economics at IU. Over the five quarters since the U.S. economy hit bottom, total growth has totaled only 3.5 percent. By the declared end of the Great Recession in June 2009, private sector employment had shrunk by 6.1 percent (more than 7 million jobs), and it continued to decline after recovery began. The Kelley School panel projects that the economy overall will expand at about a 3 percent rate in 2011. But while slow economic growth also is expected for both the state of Indiana and the metropolitan Indianapolis area, members of the panel did see signs that job growth may be a little better in the Hoosier state than elsewhere. Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center, noted that Indiana’s real Gross Domestic Product

(GDP) growth has trailed the nation for several years, but this year it appears to be outpacing the nation modestly. He believes that Indiana’s output will accelerate in 2011, growing by 3 to 4 percent over 2010 levels. He noted that while the recession hit Indiana workers hard – payroll jobs declined by 7.6 percent during that period – the state also ranks fifth nationally in terms the rate of job growth in 2010. Indiana has regained about 18 percent of the jobs it has lost, attributable largely to gains in private education, health care services and public sector employment. Construction employment in Indiana remains near the bottom but manufacturing, which also was hit hard, is slowly growing. Conover said 2011 payroll growth in Indiana will remain at around its current 2 percent level, which would add about 50,000 jobs. Other predictions from the panel for 2011: • Joblessness will remain a challenge, with the unemployment rate for the state still above 9 percent for most of 2011. • Reflecting modest projected jobs growth, Indiana’s personal incomes will rise moderately but consistently through 2011, averaging about 3.5 percent in current dollars. • 2011 will be marked by very low inflation nationally, below 1 percent.

• The Indiana housing market will show some growth but, like the overall economy, it will be muted. • The Federal Reserve will maintain its near-zero position on short-term interest rates through 2011. Mortgage rates will remain quite low by historical standards. Lenders will continue to be tight with credit. • Energy prices are expected to rise moderately in 2011 in the absence of any major supply or security disruptions, with oil prices remaining below $80 per barrel. • The federal budget deficit will remain very high, and any Congressional efforts to contain it will likely have an impact only slowly. State and local budgets will remain strained by slow revenue growth, the disappearance of federal stimulus spending, and weakened property values. • The world economy is expected to grow by 4.2 percent in 2011, down from this year’s pace. Mounting tensions are building between the advanced economies and the emerging economies, reflecting the uneven pace of recovery (2.2 percent for developing countries vs. 7 percent for emerging countries). Responses to such tensions could limit the role of export growth in boosting the U.S. economy. A detailed report on the outlook for 2011 will be published in the winter issue of the Indiana Business Review, available in December at www.ibrc.indiana.edu/ibr.
