if you have driven along busy route 24 in taunton and raynham for the past year, you can’t help but notice the heavy iron and the pre-cast piles, and the large cranes surrounding both sides of the highway in a major roadway project that has become a landmark for passing commuters. in October 2014, two liebherr lr 1200 cranes were mobilized on the site, utilized by general contractor S& r construction of lowell, mass., for approximately nine months. according to massDOt, the four-lane $17 million highway project, just south of exit 13-a, will be completed in September. it requires the complete rehabilitation of the bridge that traverses the taunton river, a major stretch of highway in and out of a large shopping area in taunton. the old bridge is not being replaced, but completely re-fabricated with more pre-fabrication concrete than S&r corp. has ever assembled. “the brutal winter stopped construction activities for approximately eight weeks, said eric W. Jones, S&r construction division manager regarding replacing the heavily-traveled highway bridge.

Bay Crane Northeast is involved with crane work and hauling PBUs.

WHA Board Embarks on First New Construction Project in Two Decades By Penelope Overton (Waterbury) republican-american

Waterbury, conn. (ap) not so long ago, Jim lawlor believed that Willow Street, with its blighted houses, weedchoked vacant lots and drug crime, was no place to raise children. When a developer asked for his support for the renovation of an apartment building there, lawlor, the chairman of the city’s housing board, immediately said no, children don’t belong there.

“then it hit me,” lawlor said. “Willow isn’t going to fix itself.” instead of running from Willow, lawlor decided to embrace the struggling neighborhood. He devised a $38 million proposal to buy, raze, and rebuild the entire city block of West Grove Street. it would be the authority’s first new construction in two decades. in recent years, at the direction of its former chairman, WHa has taken steps to demolish its public housing, not add to it. see rENOVAtION page 18

SDLG Adds Two New Locations in March Just in time for spring, SDLG has added two new locations to its dealer network: Westbrook, Maine-based Chadwick-BaRoss and Vernon, British Columbia, Canadabased Great West Equipment. Both locations will sell and fully support the entire lineup of SDLG wheel loaders available in the region. Both have a team of well-trained sales and service personnel to back their products — they also will offer SDLG’s 21st Century Product Support, which uses a central parts location to ship parts to customers and dealers often within 24 hours. Both Chadwick-BaRoss and Great West Equipment will be able to offer the SDLG LG938L, a 2.5 cu. yd. (1.9 cu m) capacity wheel loader; the LG948L, a 3.0 cu. yd. (2.3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; the LG958L, a 4.0 cu. yd. (3 cu m) capacity wheel loader; and the LG959, which has the same basic specs as the LG958L, but with wet disc brakes rather than dry disc. All four loaders are backed by a 12-month, 1,500-hour warranty. Great West Equipment Great West Equipment, with 11 locations in British Columbia and Yukon, will sell SDLG’s complete lineup of wheel loaders in Canada. Roger Dobie, vice president of sales for the company, said that bringing SDLG to Great West will give customers an alternative to higher-priced, premium wheel loaders, especially when they are in need of a low-production machine. “For our customers that in the past predominantly bought used loaders, SDLG wheel loaders will be a great option,” he said. “They have a great price point and are backed by

superb product and service support.” Many of Great West’s customers work in agriculture or general construction, among others, and should find SDLG wheel loaders ideal for their applications, he said. “There’s a whole group of customers out there that don’t need to run a wheel loader 24/7/365,” Dobie explained. “But they do need a quality wheel loader that’s backed by a great warranty and serviced by a great dealership, and that’s where SDLG and Great West can be successful.”

Chadwick-BaRoss Chadwick-Baross will offer SDLG wheel loaders in Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts. The company, which is a division of Strongco, will sell SDLG’s complete lineup of wheel loaders. It also will fully back the machines, providing extensive product support and service. Randy Mace, product manager of the company, said that bringing SDLG to Chadwick-BaRoss will give the company an ideal alternative to higher-priced, premium machines that some customers don’t need or can’t afford. “There’s a whole market out there made up of smaller contractors, municipalities or individuals who would like a quality loader that’s backed by a great warranty, but don’t want to pay for a machine with features they don’t need or want,” he said. “SDLG enables us to have a product to suit their needs, too.” Chadwick-BaRoss is an experienced dealer of construction equipment, with locations in Westbrook, Bangor and Caribou, Maine; Concord, N.H.; and a location in Chelmsford, Mass. Many of its customers work in the snow removal, municipality, residential construction, plumbing and lumber industries, among others. “Customers that only use machines for smaller projects or seasonal work don’t need the features of a premium, more expensive machine,” Mace said. “Some only need secondary machines that won’t be running for many hours each week. Still others may be in the market for used machine. For them we can now offer a quality product that has quality support.” Seal of Approval Al Quinn, director of SDLG North America, said Great West and Chadwick-BaRoss are great additions to the SDLG dealer network, especially considering their experience and expertise. “There are two keys to success for SDLG in North America,” he explained. “The first is to have a great wheel loader that’s backed by great service and support. The second is to have a dealer network that really knows which customers the machines are suited for and can then provide them with top-notch support for years to come. With SDLG joining forces with Great West and Chadwick-BaRoss, we’re accomplishing both goals.” For more information, visit www.sdlgna.com.

S&R Works on Largest Pre-Fab Bridge in Company History S&R from page 1

Crews of men, varying from five to 20, are working multiple shifts, day and night. Pre-Fab at Old Castle It is the largest pre-fabricated bridge project that S&R has done, in this wave of the future to accelerate bridge replacements. “Most of the new bridge components are fabricated off site and transported to the job site in order to provide a quicker turnaround time on the various phases of the project,” said Jones. “This project requires a high level of planning and engineering for traffic control, site coordination and precast installation methods. “The structural steel is fabricated, coated, transported and assembled at the Oldcastle facility for casting the concrete deck onto sections of the steel framing; these are called prefabricated bridge units [PBUs]. The heaviest PBU’s weigh in excess of 200,000 pounds and require a special engineered plan for loading, transporting and unloading,” said Jones. • Liddell Brothers Inc. — traffic management • COSCO Inc. — guardrail/fencing • M.O.N. Landscaping Inc. — erosion control/landscaping • Pro Cut — saw cutting • New England Building & Bridge Co. Inc. — concrete construction • D. Clifford Construction Co. Inc. — asphalt paving • Sealcoating Inc. — waterproofing • Swank Construction Company LLC — cold planing/milling • TMI Services Inc. — striping • D&A Steel, Inc. — reinforcing installation • Dagle Electrical Construction Corp. — electrical installations The other bridge components that also are made in the Oldcastle facility in nearby Rehoboth, Mass., include precast wingwalls, precast pier caps, precast backwalls and precast approach slabs. Such weight and precision requires expertise from many related construction fields, and S&R is employing an extensive array of sub-contractors on the multi-million project, relegated and author-

According to MassDOT, the four-lane $17 million highway project, just south of Exit 13-A, will be completed in September.

ized under MassDOT. Subcontractors Include: • Bay Crane Northeast — crane work and hauling PBUs, Smithfield, R.I. Fabricators: • Oldcastle Precast, Rehoboth, Mass. — precast concrete • CANAM Bridges, Claremont, N.H. — metallized structural steel Seven Phases The full-depth roadway construction project includes drainage improvements with some 10,000 tons (9,071 t) of asphalt pavement. About 2,000 cu. yds. (1,529 cu m) of concrete will be used. Jones said that special equipment is being employed. Bay Crane transported three of the nine PBUs that weighed 80 tons (72 t) each. The rear of the transporter is a remote-controlled 6-axle dollie. Jones said the first five phases, delayed by two months due to winter conditions, will take a total of 17 months. The final two phases (seven phases overall) should be completed in two subsequent months. “This project is similar in complexity to other projects we have completed over the past five to 10 years, although this project has the most precast we have ever worked with,” said Jones. Similar S&R bridge replacement projects include the $13.5 million work on Route 1A (High Road over the Parker River in

Newbury, Mass., completed 17 months ahead of schedule). The scope of the Newbury project was a complete demolition and replacement of the existing bridge. The substructure is cast in place concrete supported by large diameter drilled shafts. The superstructure is a NEBT 1800 frame with cast in place concrete bridge deck. Other work included full depth reconstruction of the roadway, drainage, retaining walls, a temporary utility bridge and cofferdams. The project required approximately 1,968 ft. (600 m) of drilled shafts, 1,831 cu. yds. (1,400 cu m) of concrete, erection of 24 66-ton (60 t) NEBTs and the installation and removal of approximately 300 tons (272 t) of steel sheeting cofferdams. Another recent S&R project was the replacement of a steel bridge over Route 28 (Broadway) and over Route 213 (Loop connector) in Methuen, Mass. This $9.8 million job was completed a year ahead of schedule in 2010. The scope of the project was a complete demolition and replacement of the existing bridge. The substructure was cast in place concrete spread footings with abutments and one center pier. The superstructure is a steel frame with cast in place concrete bridge deck. Highway work included full-depth reconstruction of the roadway, drainage, mse walls, temporary bridges, traffic signals and landscaping.

The project required approximately 130,795 cu. yds. (100,000 cu m) of excavation and embankment construction as well as 1,831 cu. yds. (1,400 cu m) of concrete construction. Every Possible Service S&R Corporation is a successful, well-respected Massachusetts company that has completed virtually every kind of construction project the industry requires. Brothers Steven and Roger Ploof founded S&R Corporation in 1987. The company started as a small demolition business with single and multi-family dwellings as well as small commercial buildings. During S&R’s early years, Steven and Roger worked full time in the field, operating equipment, driving trucks and laboring in addition to working part time in the office to establish the business. By the mid-1990s, S&R had grown significantly and had served as prime contractor on many public projects. That growth brought changes in the roles of the company’s two principals. Steven’s fulltime focus turned to managing projects and business development. Roger worked full time on managing the company’s resources and executing the projects. In 1998, the desire to continue steady growth and to diversify manifested itself in S&R’s construction division. The new division’s growth mirrored that of the

company’s demolition division and what started with small civil projects quickly expanded to include multi-million-dollar transportation contracts with S&R as the prime contractor. Headquartered in Lowell, Mass., S&R Corporation is a successful general contractor specializing in demolition, construction and environmental services for clients in both the public and private sectors. The majority of the company’s work is acquired through competitive bids, negotiated contracts and emergency work. Resources and expertise within S&R have grown significantly since 1987, as has their strong relationships outside the company with specialty subcontractors, engineers and material suppliers. Collectively, these resources extend and reinforce the capabilities of S&R to meet the needs of nearly any project from concept through completion. Roger Ploof provides management over all of the field and project operations. It is under his leadership that all labor, equipment and material resources are managed. He also works closely with the project operations team, formulating strategies and innovative methods in order to execute some more complicated and challenging endeavors. Roger oversees a vast breadth of activities and it is his example of careful thought, thorough planning, calculated execution and meticulous attention to detail that has been the guiding force behind S&R’s many successes. Roger also works with his brother Steven on planning the company’s future growth. The breadth of the company’s complete services is being employed on the Route 24 bridge project in Taunton/Raynham. These services include, but are not limited to: Full-service heavy civil and transportation construction experience including bridge projects, site work, roads, highways and marine construction. “Through some of our more prominent construction projects, S&R has faced the unique challenges associated with working over live roadways, marine traffic see S&R page 12

and railroad service as well as over canals and rivers,” said Jones. “The bridges in our portfolio have required various types of construction, including heavy pile driving, drilled shafts, cast in place concrete, pre-cast concrete, structural steel and heavy timber.” Some of S&R’s more unique and noteworthy civil construction achievements include: Tunnel construction, restoration of historic structures and dredging navigable waterways. As the original focus of S&R Corporation, demolition work continues to hold a prominent place among the company’s specialties. “Through the past 20 years in the demolition industry, we’ve expanded and refined our expertise and dramatically broadened our scope. Today, the company excels at all aspects of demolition projects in a variety of sizes and complexities, including marine work, high-rise

buildings and more,” said Jones. In addition to the demolition of numerous complicated structures including water towers, smoke stacks and bridges, S&R’s knowledgeable team has safely and proficiently provided complete demolition services for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) project sites, industrial plants, and various commercial institutional sites. “Our onsite services, proactive planning methods and reliance on cutting edge technology invariably contribute to time efficient and cost-effective management of demolition projects throughout New England and beyond,” said Roger Ploof. In response to increasingly stringent EPA regulations, environmental expertise is now more often an integral component of large-scale construction and demolition projects. S&R Corporation’s environmental team has extensive training and experience for

the disposition of all regulated hazardous materials as well as removal of asbestos and lead. “This level of knowledge is necessary to expertly address our clients’ hazardous materials handling and environmental response needs,” added Ploof. S&R has the ability to self-perform a broad range of environmental services such as asbestos abatement, soil remediation and other hazardous materials handling, while ensuring continuity and superior project management on the job. “Our commitment to developing innovative options for disposal of hazardous and ACM materials, or the recycling or reuse of a wide spectrum of waste streams, often leads to significant cost and time savings for our clients,” said the company spokesperson.

Empire Crane Company’s 2015 Tadano Mantis 15010 is currently working on the site of the new Boston Bruins training facility, Warrior Ice Arena. Empire Crane rented the Tadano Mantis 15010 to AmQuip who has been working on this project with S&F Concrete. Jack Good of AmQuip rented the new Tadano Mantis 15010 for its flexibility on site. The crane has a 111 ft. 6 in. (34 m) main boom, making it an ideal choice for foundation work and its pick and carry ability. The Warrior Ice Arena’s 75,000 sq. ft. (6,968 sq m) arena broke ground in December 2014 and is set to open in September of 2016.

Concord Reaches Agreement on 100-Year-Old Bridge Project CONCORD, N.H. (AP) Officials say funding is in place for the long-awaited demolition and replacement of Concord’s 100year-old Sewalls Falls Bridge. The Concord Monitor reported City Manager Tom Aspell and the New Hampshire Department of Transportation came to an agreement over stalled funding for the project May 11. The deal will allow Concord to build the new bridge and eventually be reimbursed as promised by the federal government. A grant from the federal Highway Trust

Fund will pay $10 million. That’s 80 percent of the cost. The city will pay the remaining 20 percent. The state will immediately allocate $5.5 million of the federal grant to cover work scheduled for 2015. For 2016 and beyond, the city can finish construction and spend the remaining $4.5 million, which will be reimbursed.

Authority Wants to Build Dual-Level Senior Complex

ACE EQUIPMENT SALES INC ......................................11

RENOVATION from page 1

ARGUS INDUSTRIAL COMPANY ....................................1

West Grove is a side street linking Willow and Sperry that once was home to brass mill workers. But now, about half of Sperry’s two dozen properties are litter-strewn, vacant or burned-out lots. Only a few of the houses still standing are occupied. The rest of them are empty and boarded up, seized by the city or the banks for unpaid taxes or mortgage payments. At Lawlor’s urging, the Waterbury Housing Authority is planning to demolish the homes and clear the lots and, in their place, build a series of two-story, Victorianinspired duplexes. The authority wants to buy the street itself from the city, repave it to add a slight curve and a garden planter in the middle, and gate it so only residents can enter — in hopes of stopping drug traffic. The authority plans to rent or sell the houses to families earning less than $80,000 a year. Existing residents would have the right of first refusal, but Lawlor wants to recruit cops and teachers, too. The WHA is already making it happen, buying some properties from owners outright and working with the city to seize other lots for blight or unpaid taxes, said Director Robert Cappelletti. The Authority controls half of West Grove’s two dozen lots now, ranging from public housing it built in 1992 at the Sperry end of the street to a vacant lot it bought in February on the Willow end. And, for the few properties that don’t fall neatly into one of those categories, the Authority is prepared to go to court, pay fair market value and take the properties through eminent domain. Under such a scenario, the Authority would pay relocation costs for any tenants living in the seized properties, Cappelletti said. They would also get first shot at buying or leasing one of the new units. Cappelletti is planning to break ground on the first phase of the project — a four-unit duplex on the northwest corner of Willow and West Grove — as early as this summer. In the middle of the street, on the south side, the Authority wants to build a duallevel senior housing complex, with condos facing West Grove and apartments facing south, looking out over French Street. Unlike the housing acquisitions, most of which have been done cheaply, the senior housing complex will cost “real money,” which is requiring the agency to apply for housing tax credits. If its application for tax credits is

approved, Cappelletti said, the Authority could break ground on the residential part of its proposed elderly housing complex as early as next summer. The Authority would like to include space on the ground level of the west-facing half of the complex for commercial use, but that will depend on the interest of the project’s investors, he said. The Authority is funding its upfront costs, including acquisitions, design work, and legal fees, out of a $500,000 construction fund it hadn’t touched since 1980, Lawlor said. The decades-old fund was discovered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development during an audit of the agency’s finances shortly after it was labeled “troubled” in 2012. Earlier this year, the Authority was able to shed that label, after it enacted a series of federally approved reforms, turned its money situation around and improved its public housing score. In 2012, the Authority learned that it had earned a 59 out of 100 on its annual HUD public housing report card, or a failing grade, for problems like having a high vacancy rate. But now, after streamlining its repairs and placement practices, the agency has reduced its public housing vacancy rate, earning an 88 out of 100 on its last HUD report card. When first labeled troubled, the agency was losing $220,000 a year, Lawlor said. Now it is projected to finish its fiscal year with an estimated $60,000 surplus. In Lawlor’s mind, the Authority had cleaned its own house, and was now ready to tackle the city’s housing problems. It seemed like West Grove Street had plenty of opportunity to improve. It is a neighborhood he knows well. His grandfather lived about one block away, and used to deliver milk, butter and ice to many of the homes he will soon demolish. “I’m disappointed to see how far it has fallen,” Lawlor said on a recent visit to West Grove. “As a child, I was here a lot, and believe me, it wasn’t like this. It needs a fresh start.” As he sidestepped broken beer bottles, chairs and drug paraphernalia on one of the vacant city-owned lots, Lawlor talked about how his father, a well-known local dentist, grew up in this area. “It’s no place for kids now,” Lawlor said. “But it can be. It will be.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
