NORWICH, Conn. (AP) Richard Perry is overseeing what may be the most enduring property renovation project in Norwich’s recent history. Architect Arnold Graton is constructing a 60-ft.-long by 18-ft. (18 by 5.5 m) wide covered bridge — by hand — on Perry’s Wawecus Hill Road property. “It is a preservation effort, and it is an effort to leave
behind some legacy to future generations because at the present time, there are only four authentic, traditionally built covered bridges in Connecticut,’’ Perry said. “These are bridges that are often not rebuilt, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to build a covered bridge in the same manner it would have been built 150 years ago, and this is the only man in the country that does it.’’ According to Graton’s Web site, Arnold M. Graton Associates Inc. has 50 years experience with covered see BRIDGE page 8

Milton CAT hosted complimentary seminars on caring for and maintaining Cat compact equipment. The seminars were geared to owners of one or two machines. According to Milton CAT VP of Sales, Dave Perry, in today’s very competitive environment, contractors don’t want to waste a single opportunity for getting new business or holding onto existing projects, and making sure their equipment is well cared for to avoid downtime is a top concern. This series of four workshops was conducted at the Milton CAT’s Milford, Mass., location in March. According to Perry, the four lunch-and-learn events attracted hundreds of guests from all over the state. As guests arrived at the recently opened 179 Quarry Drive Training Center, they were guided to a reception area where there were informational stations manned by subject matter experts focusing on fluids and filters, quickits, work tools, new and used equipment and fluid analysis. Following a hot lunch buffet, Milford-based Compact Equipment Shop Service Supervisor Steve Phillips and Compact Lead Service Technician Keith Correia delivered machine walk-arounds, discussing maintenance intervals, see MILTON page 12

Covered Bridge to Open for Public Use BRIDGE from page 1
bridge rehabilitation and construction. Once the bridge is finished, Perry plans to open it to public use, possibly creating a companion exhibit to show how it was constructed. He said it took a year to get through the city’s permitting and review process. “I really want people to see what the bridge is like, how it was constructed,’’ Perry said. “I wanted this as sort of a legacy. I don’t have children, so it’s a question of, ‘who am I going to leave my money to,’ and I thought this would be a great opportunity.’’ There are four authentic covered bridges in the state, with the last one built in 1874. Norwich’s experience with the structures dates back to 1764, when the first wooden truss bridge in the nation was erected 28 ft. over the Shetucket River by John Bliss. Without concrete, power tools, metal nails or any of the other modern resources at the disposal of contractors, putting together a Town Lattice Truss Bridge by hand is as grueling as it is impressive. The design is named after a technique patented by Ithiel Town, a
Thompson native born in 1784 who was among the first generation of American architects. Graton and his compatriots are building their bridge with the same material that would have been available in Town’s day. Graton and a small team have lived in trailers on Perry’s property since Labor Day, when work on the bridge began in a barn constructed especially for the project. “Arnold’s a craftsman. There’s no one in the country that’s done what he’s done,’’ said Graton’s wife and business partner Meg Dansereau. Graton said Perry’s bridge is the 17th he’s built from scratch, but his Ashland, N.H.-based firm has restored 65 of them across the country. Crews were working to raise the pair of 8-ton (7.2 t) trusses recently, and expect to have the bridge ready for installation over two dry stone abutments that span a pond in Perry’s yard by mid-June. Oxen will be brought in to secure the bridge using a capstan, a verticalaxle rotating machine that applies force to ropes and is used to raise sails.
Traditionally, communities held parties when covered bridges were opened, and Perry said he’s planning a similar event. Another signature of Perry’s bridge is a 13-in. (33 cm) camber angle gradually worked in the trusses that strengthens it and provides an aesthetic detail not commonly found on covered bridges. Graton said he enjoys the public nature of his work because it sparks conversation. “It takes an interest in it [from others] if you’re ever going to do another one,’’ Graton said. On April 23, Graton’s workers weren’t the only ones on site. Betty Pauwels, of Franklin, N.H., was taking photographs for the National Society for the Preservation of Covered Bridges. “This is a newer bridge being built using the old techniques,’’ she said. “It’s such an honor to be here today. It’s awesome.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Series of Four Workshops Attracts ECA Strengthens Hundreds of Attendees From Across State Presence With NECP Merger
After the conclusion of the presentations and the Q&A portion of the seminar, many guests remained in the machine area asking questions. MILTON from page 4
providing everyday trouble-shooting techniques and reminding guests of common sense but often neglected practices. “I couldn’t believe how attentive our guests were,” said Inside Sales
Manager Chris Robichaud. “You could have heard a pin drop as Keith and Steve went step-by-step through each machine.” Questions ranged from the basic, “How long should a daily walk-around take?” to requests for more information
on how to get oil samples analyzed or what to do if you were afraid there were contaminants in your machine. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
Equipment Corporation of America (ECA), a distributor of foundation construction equipment, acquired the assets and merged with sister company New England Construction Products LLC (NECP) on March 1, 2015. The company, located in Taunton, Mass., will continue serving Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island as ECA Boston. ECA is retaining the core team from NECP. David Sciortino will continue his service as vice president and Boston branch manager. Anthony Sciortino will assume the position of sales engineer, and Bob Martinelli will remain service manager. “We have been serving the New England region since 1997 through our partnership with NECP, but this move allows us to give the team that was in place the tools to expand both the level of service and the availability of equipment and parts inventory,” said Executive Vice President Ben Dutton. “This is an important territory and we want to make sure construction firms in New England have access to the full ECA experience as it relates to their foundation construction equipment needs.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Rotten Rock Takes on More Jobs After Bobcat Purchase ROTTEN from page 1
Washington Valley, long considered a prime recreation area. The pair started doing landscaping and construction jobs on the weekends with rented equipment, and before long they were getting more jobs than they could handle working parttime. “Every time we did a project, a neighbor would ask us to do something,” Shaw said. “We were hoping the Rotten Rock Hardscaping purchased the Bobcat E45 business would take off, but excavator from Bobcat of New Hampshire in we had no idea how fast we Chichester. would grow. Plus, people kept asking us to do more complicated and most impressive machine I’ve used. The Melaborate jobs.
