In like a lion, out like a lamb? Boy, did Mother Nature reverse that at the end of March in Rhode Island. Local construction companies have been shoring up bridges, approaches to bridges, highways, roads, drains and culverts after record rainfall flooded Rhode Island and caused it to live up to its nickname, the Ocean State. “We don’t have total amounts of the damage yet. There are still 10 areas we have left to assess,” said Charles St. Martin, spokesman of the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT). “We haven’t put a million dollar figure on it, yet. It’s difficult to assess the price, but we’re in the millions without too much trouble.” Martin admitted, however, there has been $3.5 million in FEMA aid requested by home owners and small business owners in Rhode Island (as of April 30), along with $3 million in emergency flood aid already granted from
Washington, D.C. This goes along with some $35 million of similar flood damage aid requests in nearby Massachusetts. Epic Flooding Unprecedented rainfall throughout every week of March and every hour of March 30-31 — with certain sections of the state receiving 8 in. or more over a 56-hour period — caused two major rivers to reach record levels, overflowing their banks. This forced the closure of several miles of Rte. 95 in the Cranston/Warwick area for days. Dozens of smaller roads all over the state were closed for varying lengths of time as well. In total, on Wednesday, March 31, 98 roads and 20 bridges were closed by flooding. Nine days later, 15 roads and bridges remained shut down, with many already under repair. About 150 maintenance crews and 50 engineering crews were working around the clock to get all of Rhode Island’s roads and bridges back open. see FLOODING page 14

Tilcon Helps Bradley Airport Ensure Smooth Landings A Boeing 747 jumbo jet can weigh more than 800,000 lbs. at full capacity and have a takeoff speed of 180 miles per hour. Now imagine the full-force of 350 aircrafts hitting one runway, every day. Runway construction specifications have to be strictly adhered to and the contractor has to pave with surgical precision within the allotted time. So when Tilcon Connecticut Inc. — a leading asphalt producer and contractor in New England — was given the state contract of repaving Runway 6-24 at Bradley International Airport in Hartford, Conn., it knew it had its work cutout. But with the help of a Volvo PF6110 tracked paver and two Volvo DD138HFA and DD118HF compactors, it rose to the challenge. “Runway 6-24 is the main runway at Bradley,” said Richard Birge, manager of construction of Tilcon, “But it had to be shut down for three consecutive weekends while we milled and paved — it was imperative that we kept to the

schedule.” Bradley airport is managed by ConnDOT and services more than six million passengers annually. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommends rehabilitation of airport runways every 20 years and funded this $17 million project, which entailed not only resurfacing but upgrading the main water line and installing new lighting along the runway. Like all state highway jobs, if Tilcon missed the completion date

ConnDOT would impose fines. So milling and paving crews were scheduled around the clock with up to eight teams working 12-hour shifts. “There were no rain dates in the schedule,” explained Birge. “If it rained a lot, we had to change the hours worked. At times we were operating 24 hours a day.” The FAA stipulated that Tilcon had to mill the 9,500 ft. (2,896 m) long, 250 ft. (76 m) wide, runway with a 4 in. (10 cm)-thick mat using 62,900 tons (57,062 t) of Contact Edwin M. McKeon Jr.

approved hot mix asphalt. But because Tilcon’s asphalt plant is 24 mi. (39 km) away from the airport, it had to use a convoy of 30 trucks running back and forth, day and night, to transport 1,800 tons (1,633 t) of the material per shift. The FAA also stated that each paving strip had to be 20 ft. (6 m) wide. But Tilcon decided to pave in 25 ft. (8m) strips instead, to maximize efficiency. The company chose a Volvo PF6110 tracked paver with an Omni 318 screed. The screed has a Construction Equipment Guide Northeast Edition (ISSN 1081-7034) is published bi-weekly by Construction Equipment Guide Ltd.

standard paving width of 18 ft. (5 m) so Volvo installed four 1 ft. (.3 m) extensions on each side to increase the width. According to Larry Spring, road paving specialist of Volvo Construction Equipment, the Omni 318 screed provides optimum density, especially at the joints, to achieve the tight specifications and traction. Before paving could begin, the compaction density and quality of the asphalt had to be trialled in test strips — which were inspected by ConnDOT and the FAA. Tilcon spent four days becoming familiar with the paver with the help of Volvo’s dealer Tyler Equipment, which had representatives on hand to provide support and training. Compaction density requirements also are very stringent for airport paving jobs. Highway contracts usually require 92 percent compaction density; however, the FAA demands 96.3 percent. The Volvo DD118HF and DD138HFA double drum asphalt compactors were selected for the job because they feature eight amplitude setting, allowing the specified amount of force to be applied, preventing over-compaction. Two DD138HFAs ran behind the paver in an echelon formation for the initial breakdown compaction, then the DD118HF followed for the finishing. “Over-compaction will break down the stone in the mix design,” explained Spring. “If this happens you lose the stability and strength of the pavement required to handle the airplanes.” ConnDOT performed routine inspections during the compaction and 5 in. (12.7 cm) core samples were taken for density tests to be performed at its laboratory before the runway could be used. Runway 6-24 opened on June 23, 2009, and Connecticut Gov. M. Jodi Rell hailed the success of the project, stating it was “On time and under budget.” Tilcon has since repaved Runway 15-33 at Bradley, which was a smaller project than Runway 6-24. Tilcon has nine paving crews and assumes a majority of state contracts, such as highway road building and repair. It also produces crushed stone and readymixed concrete.

Milton CAT’s Compact Equipment Field Days Draw Crowd
N
early 500 visitors representing 267 businesses and municipalities attended the Compact Equipment Field Days hosted by Milton CAT at its Milford, Mass., location on March 31 and April 1. Even before seeing the full parking lot, the traffic on Quarry Drive indicated that something special was going on. Welcoming signs indicated the way, and as visitors walked up to the main hall, Milton CAT team members made sure each person was greeted, handed a registration tag, and got an explanation of the layout and the planned activities. “We wanted our message to be loud and clear,” said Steve Macridis, Milford Equipment sales manager. “We were personally telling our customers — we appreciate you, we understand your needs and we have what it takes to support you.” Milton CAT President Chris Milton and members of his staff were on hand to say hello to old customers and meet new ones, exchanging stories and comments and gathering around for lunch, turning the Field Days into a great opportunity for relaxed conversations. Ten “stations” were set up inside, focusing on some of the most important aspects of the Milton CAT complete solution, including financing options, the Rental Alliance network, and safety, as well as organized tours of the parts operation and service department. Each station was manned by experts on the subject, allowing participants to ask questions and get explanations, one-on-one. Questions and comments ranged

Report Urges FHAto Provide Better Big Dig Oversight By Glen Johnson AP POLITICAL WRITER
BOSTON (AP) A report obtained April 22 by The Associated Press urged the Federal Highway Administration to heighten its review of safety improvements to the Big Dig tunnels in light of the fatal 2006 collapse of a ceiling panel. The report showed the federal Department of Transportation’s inspector general believes Massachusetts has done a good job of implementing the safety improvements recommended in a “stem-to-stern review” that followed the accident. But it also said the Highway Administration needed to do a better job in three areas: ensuring the safety of ceiling anchors in the Ted Williams Tunnel; improving the Dig’s preparedness for a fire, and assuring calculations for the safety of concrete viaducts are
accurate. The inspector general said in the report that it’s making a series of recommendations to the Highway Administration “to strengthen its oversight of the commonwealth’s actions to address unresolved safety risks.” In its pre-report responses, the Highway Administration disagreed with the conclusion “that its oversight approach has shortcomings,” the report said. And in a followup statement, it added: “The Federal Highway Administration will continue to ensure the safety of tunnels, highways and bridges across the country. We are confident that all the pressing safety issues related to the Central Artery Tunnel have been resolved.” The Highway Administration, for example, said it believes it has tested a sufficient number of ceiling bolts to ensure their overall safety. Such “pull tests” require
pulling on the anchors until failure; some engineers argue that excessive testing can cause the very damage the tests seek to prevent. The report also noted FHWA testing showed persistent problems with evacuation procedures — especially for the mobility impaired — for a potential truck fire. On that item, the inspector general targeted the state for action. Because the project “includes more than 80 lane-mi. of tunnels and is the largest public works project in the country, the commonwealth should use these findings to safeguard motorists in case of a tunnel fire,” the report said. The Highway Administration also argued that the viaduct calculations had been certified by the engineer that conducted the stemto-stern review. The Big Dig involved replacing the elevated central artery through
Boston, Interstate 93, with a series of tunnels. It also built a third connection to Logan International Airport — the Ted Williams Tunnel — and connected the airport to the Massachusetts Turnpike, Interstate 90. Over the course of the project, the cost mushroomed to $15 billion, prompting complaints of pork barrel spending. The project took a tragic turn in July 2006, when several 4,600-lb. ceiling panels in one tunnel broke free, crushing a passing car. The accident killed Milena del Valle of Boston. In the aftermath, then-Gov. Mitt Romney ordered a full review of the project to ensure its safety. The $4.5 million report was issued in November 2006 and found the highways, tunnels and bridges in downtown Boston were well built overall but needed some safety improvements. The National Transportation
Safety Board concluded the accident occurred because the wrong type of epoxy was used to hold bolts that anchored the ceiling tiles in place. In addition, the Department of Transportation’s inspector general was ordered to oversee the thoroughness of the full review. In one report, issued in August 2007, the inspector general raised concerns about warped attachment plates on the project’s most conspicuous feature, the cablesplayed Zakim Bridge. The state later showed the warping was not from stress, but the plates’ initial welding. This follow-up report focuses on oversight provided by the Federal Highway Administration. While the administration “has taken action to oversee the commonwealth’s efforts to resolve safety risks, its approach has shortcomings,” the new report said.

Mass. Towns Get Road, Bridge Repair Boost By Glen Johnson AP POLITICAL WRITER
BOSTON (AP) Amid the gloom and doom of a bad economy, Massachusetts cities and towns got good news April 2 when the Patrick administration announced a $5 million increase in road and bridge repair money prized by communities. Spending from so-called Chapter 90 funding will increase to $155 million statewide in the fiscal year beginning July 1. Boston, the state’s biggest city, will get a total of $11.1 million, or $366,000 more this year, while across the state, the town of North Adams will get $359,000, or $11,500 more this year. Springfield, the third-largest city in Massachusetts, will get $2.8 million, an $84,000 hike. The increases may appear small, but in an era of level-funded budgets or reductions, community leaders said it’s a welcome change. “In the days of facing constant cutbacks, it’s always good to get a bump,” said Springfield Mayor Domenic Sarno. “This allows us to address roadway infrastructure issues that, if not here, we’d have to look to

address with the general fund budget — and that’s hard to do with all the cutbacks we face.” A Worcester official said the spending also has an important psychological effect on residents. “When they see the trucks rolling in and the pavers rolling in, they get some sort of satisfaction their tax dollars are paying for something,” said Public Works Commissioner Bob Moylan. Worcester will get a $91,000 increase, to $3.16 million. The money comes from the final year of a three-year bond approved by the Legislature in 2008, although Chapter 90 bonds are repeatedly reissued by the House and Senate. It is prized by cities and towns because they have almost total discretion over how it is used, unlike other state or federal highway dollars. Most use it for road, bridge and sidewalk repairs, but some use it for capital projects like sheds to store road salt. Others set it aside for several years to pay for big-ticket projects. The spending also comes in unison with a $3 billion, seven-year accelerated bridge repair program launched by the governor, and with projects funded by the state’s share of the $787 billion
federal stimulus program signed into law last year by President Barack Obama. “When combined with our unprecedented Accelerated Bridge Program and federal stimulus projects, we are putting thousands of people to work and jumpstarting our economy as we rebuild our transportation infrastructure,” Gov. Deval Patrick said in a statement. Lt. Gov. Timothy Murray, who, like Patrick, is seeking re-election this fall, said: “We are addressing deferred maintenance by responsibly applying funds to invest in our roads and bridges in cities and towns across the commonwealth.” Moylan said Worcester is like many cities and towns, in that it relies on Chapter 90 funding almost exclusively to make street and sidewalk repairs. The city, the second-largest in the state, has 410 mi. of public streets and 500 mi. of sidewalk. It also has a backlog of work estimated at $130 million, just shy of the $155 million the Patrick administration issued statewide this year under the Chapter 90 program. The funding, Moylan said, “is terribly important in today’s economy and with tight budgets.”

RIDOT Launches Construction Season on Heels of Flooding FLOODING from page 1
Residents of more than 1,200 homes were forced to evacuate, especially in low-lying areas of Warwick, West Warwick, Westerly and Cranston. “Mostly it has been roadway erosion, taking place at the approaches to bridges. Most bridges are okay, but many approaches to those bridges have eroded out,” said St. Martin. “There were roadway washouts because of culverts which were overwhelmed with the amount of water coming over the top. Those culverts were never designed for that volume of water.” Companies Who Helped According to RIDOT, the following local contracting companies were continually working with the state on flood-related repairs at the end of April. St. Martin said this only represents contractors approved to do work. “Some of these contractors have more than one location/repair. We have others in the pipeline for approval,” he added. “We did no shoring, mostly earthwork, drainage and culvert repair, resurfacing and minor bridge work. We will do more extensive bridge work for those that were irreparably damaged.” The companies who have stepped in include: • Aetna Bridge • Cardi Corporation • D’Ambra • Fleet • Northeast Tree • Lucena Brothers • DiGregorio Corporation • JH Lynch •Narragansett Improvement According to RIDOT, the staggering number of closed state roads and bridges slowly reopened after crews spent weeks forcing water to recede from the area. “There are many, many other local road closures that we were not set up to report,” added St. Martin. Two Hundred Year Storm The record-breaking rainfall exceeded all other numbers in Rhode Island since rain records were first jotted down “It rained all of March,” said St.
Martin. “There was heavy rain after heavy rain; then, March 30 and 31, there was really heavy rain. Just before St. Patrick’s Day, the Pawtuxet River broke its all-time record, by cresting at 15 feet. Two weeks later, after the heavy stuff of March 30-31, that record was broken by six feet. It crested over 21 feet. They estimate it was a ‘200year storm.’ Talk about rarely occurring conditions.

Hampshire Motor Speedway on Sept. 19. According to equipment sales representative Dave Fenton who had a number of his customers attend the event, the Compact Equipment Field Days had outstanding results, but he added, “Beyond the number of machines and work tools sold, what really stands out is how our customers and visitors appreciated the chance to meet face-to-face with mem-
bers of the Milton CAT team, talk to people who understand their needs, attend hands-on demonstrations and see with their own eyes what’s going on behind the scenes.” Fenton’s words were echoed by Chris Butler and Ron Samuelson, from Linders Inc. in Worcester. When asked to describe what’s good about Milton CAT, they responded, “The people.” Chris explained, “They remember your name, they shake your hand, even when we first started coming here and we were just kids they treated us with respect.” see MILTON page 18
