WANTED CATERPILLAR EQUIPMENT
By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
It all started with two boys placing makeshift signs on the street, nailed together from old lumber, spray-painted with T&K in black. It wasn’t pretty, but crudely effective. The ‘T’ was for Tony Heffernan. The ‘K’ was for Kevin Gosnell. They were two childhood friends in the town of Hanover, Mass., spending college summers sealcoating driveways to pay their college tuitions. In order to raise funds for their enterprise and buy materials, they sold an old vending machine for a $600 profit. This paid for a used truck, some sealcoating supplies and a new name, T&K Sealing.
T&K owns all of the machinery in its fleet of equipment and it has more than 12 grading and paving crews.

Each time Tony and Kevin sealed a driveway, their signs would mark the job publicly announcing who they were. This was the first attempt at amateur advertising, and people noticed. Driveway by driveway, a new business was launched and two young men soon paid for college. After three summers, the new college grads turned T&K Sealing into T&K Asphalt. Driveways were now parking lots, sealcoating became paving and a commercial division was born. “T&K was founded in 1987. We started out sealcoating driveways in the summers and, over time, started to patch and pave,” said CEO and President Kevin Gosnell. “Today, the company

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) Maine residents on Nov. 5 approved borrowing proposals totaling about $150 million that would pay for maintenance and improvements for roads, schools and armories. Voters approved all five bonds that resulted from a compromise between legislative Democrats and Republican Gov. Paul LePage. They were the only items on the statewide ballot. The biggest bond was a $100 million proposal for road and bridge projects that supporters say will bring $150 million in matching funds. The others were $14 million to overhaul armories, $15.5 million to improve
university facilities, $15.5 million for classroom improvements in community colleges and $4.5 million for a science building at Maine Maritime Academy. Maria Fuentes from the Better Transportation Association said the matching funds made the transportation bond package a good way of funding needed improvements. “Maine people understand that we need to invest more in our transportation system. It’s clearly something that impacts just about everyone in Maine on a daily basis,’’ she said. “We’re glad that the citizens agreed that we need to make more investments in our roads and bridges and other modes of transportation.’’ Mainers generally support bonds,
but not always. Residents rejected $11.3 million worth of bonds for capital improvements for universities and community colleges just last year. University of Maine System Chancellor James Page thanked voters for making “investments in students and investments in jobs.’’ “Those upgrades will create immediate local construction jobs, and they will create a better learning environment for our students to receive education and training for careers that Maine needs, Maine employers have, and Maine students want,’’ he said.

has over 200 employees and does everything there is to do on a parking lot.” One of the largest asphalt companies in New England, Gosnell is still in charge 26 years later. The CEO has added site work to his ever-expanding list of services. The company claims an average sales growth of 40 percent each year for the last four years. “It was hard at first,” said Gosnell. “I learned the business by doing and research, migrating from sealcoat to patch and then pave. It was gradual and, over time, I learned the business and techniques. We sealcoat, line stripe, patch, grind, grade, pave, put in concrete, make curbs and do small site work.” Clients range from multi-million-dollar real estate companies with properties throughout New England, to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. to Harvard University in Cambridge. Headquartered in Whitman, Mass., T&K Asphalt has offices in Derry, N.H., Cranston, R.I., and Sandwich, Mass., in lower Cape Cod. 5,000 Projects Per Year “We have grown through training programs at our Asphalt academy. Most of our talent is home-grown and we believe heavily in training and development,” said Gosnell. “We have about 200 employees we are in our 26th year. We have added a construction division, doing small site work and

improvements. We focus on items that are needed to support a parking lot like drainage improvements, concrete, lighting, landscape and traffic islands, etc.” Gosnell said that his company does about 5,000 projects per year. Major projects have included sealcoating and repairing the massive parking lots around Gillette Stadium, home of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution in Foxboro, Mass., and completing the lots around large residential communities like The Hills in Wayland, Mass. “Also, we just completed six National Grid [a power company] sites,” said Gosnell. Most of his projects involve the flat land. However, this is not always the case. “The most unusual project was when we needed to secure rock ledge that was falling onto a parking lot,” said Gosnell. “We drilled netting into rock ledge that trapped the rocks and prevented them from falling onto the lot and destroying it. Other than that, most of our jobs stay in our wheel house.” The company’s motto is, “Your Thankful Partner.” “We pledge to do whatever is humanly possible to satisfy the customer,” said Gosnell. “We know that our service is our profession and ask that the customer trust us.” Testimonials abound on the company’s web site from some of the most invested corporations in New England, including Harvard University. “We are thrilled to work with for such a high-profile customer [as Harvard],” said Gosnell. “But we treat all of our

customers like they are VIPs. Our best effort is given to everyone — large or small.” Another satisfied customer is Unicorn Realty, a commercial real estate company that owns and manages 1.2 million sq. ft. of industrial, retail and office space on the South Shore of Massachusetts. With more than 250 commercial tenants using those lots, it is imperative to keep them paved and smooth. “When I have a project with a certain degree of difficulty, I always call T&K Asphalt,” said Brian Murphy, Unicorn Realty’s vice president. “I have complete trust in their ability, the quality of their work and their people.” Six-Point Plan “I’ve experienced an excellent level of service by the sales rep with the evaluation of parking lot conditions, solid support in the back office for all scheduling and any problems that arise, and quick turnaround on any repair or redo once the project has been completed,” said Johnna Barry, a property manager of Prologis Property Corp. “T&K provides a high level of customer service with ample office staff to address all needs. T&K has turned around projects in lightning speed when need be.” “We have stayed in business because of our strong customer base. We have done work for many of the same people over the last 20 years,” said Gosnell. “They are what has helped us weather the storm. “Also, we have added to and grown all our product lines and improved our sales and marketing efforts,” said Gosnell. “We actually have grown 20 percent over the recession. We have a tremendous group of people at the company that care. We have an amazing team.” Spreading the Word Kevin Gosnell’s business, with four locations, has gotten a tad bit more sophisticated since the days the 19-year-old painted crude wooden signs and stuck them on lawns. But one basic tenet of advertising has never changed. “Word of mouth is everything,” said Gosnell. “We win or lose based on what our clients say. You are only as good as your last job, no matter how big or small it is.” The company owns all of the machinery in its fleet of equipment and it has more than 12 grading and paving crews. They complete all projects and work themselves, a finish site contractor for commercial paving, sealcoating, line striping, color coating, concrete foundations, construction, granite curbing, milling and snow removal. Gosnell has three sons, but is not sure if any of his boys will enter the business when they grow up. But for those young men and women thinking about the heavy iron industry as a trade he said, “I would recommend to someone to find out what your brand represents and what you can do to make sure you protect it. In the end, all you really have is your reputation. I wouldn’t bite off too much. I would do what I think I can do the best, and make it happen.” For more information, go to www.tkasphalt.com or call 1/877-tkasphalt.

The federal government fully funded the $2 million project along an 8-mi. (12.8 km) stretch of highway on Interstate 89.
N.H. Nu-Guard Rail System Tests Deemed Successful By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
Along an 8-mi. (12.8 km) stretch of highway on Interstate 89, Kyle Zorawowicz of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s construction bureau picks up a number of sheared bolts that popped out of a revolutionary new highway guardrail system after cars struck it. This laborious work is not beneath a D.O.T. manager, collecting small bolts on a federal road. Zorawowicz is happy to do it. The loose bolts mean that the federal test of the new Nu-Guard rail system, 8 mi. from Bow to Hopkinton, N.H., and its accompanying 5.4 mi. (8.7 km) of concrete medians,
save the lives of drivers who crash into them. The federal government fully funded the $2 million project. The guard rail and median project, a test with national highway safety implications, wrapped up two months early. It was originally set to finish by the end of August. NHDOT finished the work in mid-June. According to Zorawowicz, the project broke ground on Oct. 23, 2012. It is located on an 8-mi. stretch between Exits 1 and 5 on Interstate 89. “The final estimate run showed the total cost of the project being $2 million. It was deemed a test project, as we were to install two new types of W-Beam guardrail, along with 1500-feet of pre-cast concrete median
barrier, plus pre-cast barrier over the three bridges involved in the project, and pre-cast barrier along the exposed bridge piers on the underpasses within the project limits,” said Zorawowicz. The two types of guardrail installed on the project were the Nu-Guard post assembly guardrail by the Nucor Corporation, and the GMS Mini-Spacer Guardrail and ThrieBeam Connection System by the Gregory Corporation. The pre-cast concrete barrier was provided by the Michie Corporation in Henniker, N.H. “The Federal Highway Administration wanted to see how each of the new types of guardrail systems worked in the state of New Hampshire. In conclusion, both systems are
working nicely and how they were designed to work,” said Zorawowicz. The installation process of each was the main difference of the two systems.” The Nu-Guard system consists of a new type of post. It is a U-channel post that is double the plf of a normal signpost. These posts were easy to drive as they have a small surface area, according to Zorawowicz. The connection hardware used for this system is the same used in a standard run of I-beam posts with W-beam rail The Gregory system used the normal Ibeam posts in a standard run of guardrail, but the connection hardware was different. It consisted of a smaller bolt, 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) see RAIL page 12

Installation of Guardrail on I-89 Protects Traveling Public RAIL from page 6
length by 5/16-in. (.8 cm) diameter, and “mini-spacer” washers that look like little domes. These connections were harder for the workers to install because the bolt was smaller, according to Zorawowicz. “Other than that, the actual system itself has worked great and to its design. The reason for the small bolt is to have the bolt shear when a car strikes it, so the rail disconnects from the post easier and is able to guide the car along the rail rather than create a more of a blunt strike against the rail, as older, wooden post rail tends to do,” Zorawowicz said. “We have had several strikes already and I have been able to collect the sheared bolts around the crash site. The installation of guardrail in a median that was in dire need of it makes the Interstate all the more safe for the travelling public.” Under NHDOT, the companies installed about 28,400 ft. (8,656.3 m) of new guardrail on the project and 2,780 ft. (847.3 m) of standard and modified precast concrete barrier. General contractor for the work was Weaver Brothers Construction Company Inc., based out of Bow, N.H. “They have done many projects with the NHDOT and are a fine contractor to work with,” said Zorawowicz. Weaver Brothers Construction Company has been involved with several projects including: • Rehab of a bridge covering Route 11 over the Blackwater River, • Joppa Hill Road reconstruction in Bedford, N.H., • Reclamation and paving the roadways and replacing guardrails in Wentworth/Rumney •Reconstruction of U.S. Route 1 bypass and U.S. Route 1 intersection in Portsmouth • Reconstruction of the southbound Exit 3 area on Interstate 93 in Salem/Manchester • Paving 3.85 mi. (6.2 km), with drainage guardrail in Enfield/Lebanon • The median barrier replacement on Interstate 89 in Bow/Hopkinton “One of the owners of Weaver Brothers Construction, Jeff Bates, was the superintendent on the project. That helped in communications with exactly what we wanted out of them on the project,” said
Zorawowicz. “Adam Bates, Jeff’s nephew and son of owner Peter Bates, was the project manager for the project and he was also great to work with. They do a lot of work with the NHDOT and they know that it really helps make the project run smoothly when everyone is on the same page and working together. “Collectively, we left no mysteries between each other and that ended up making the project all the more successful,” said Zorawowicz. “We were able to finish the project 2.5 months ahead of schedule because of it. Their web site is http://wbcc.biz/.” According to NHDOT, a total of 12 sub-contractors worked on the project performing different tasks. The main sub-contractor was CWS Fence & Guardrail out of Andover, N.H. “CWS Fence & Guardrail

The plans did not come with a design for this stretch of barrier and we in the field were shouldered with the task of using the existing roadway to design the sizes of the new barrier. “Myself, my field help, Weaver’s super and a foreman worked together to take shots using an auto-level to read differing elevations on the northbound and southbound sides of the road in order to calculate how high the barrier needed to be on one side of the road as opposed to Kyle Zorawowicz the other side of the road,” said Zorawowicz.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) A legislative stalemate over raising the gas tax and legalizing a casino could jeopardize the state’s biggest transportation priority and drive highway contractors out of New Hampshire to look for work in nearby states willing to fund infrastructure improvements. The New Hampshire House passed a gas tax this year that the Senate killed, while the Senate passed a casino bill that the House rejected. Transportation Commissioner Chris Clement said that he’s worried funding won’t be available to finish expanding Interstate 93 — the top priority — as well as make other highway improvements. “They’ve got to follow the work,’’ Clement said. Lawmakers hoping to keep the I-93 project alive say funding must be in place next year to keep contractors from seeking guaranteed work elsewhere. They point to Massachusetts, which has just begun an effort to pump billions of dollars into its transportation network over the next decade. They’ll try to break the stalemate next year with bills to raise the state’s 18-cent gas and diesel tax and to legalize casino gambling. Some money from a casino could be used for highway projects. The Senate rejected a phased-in 12-cent increase this year to the tax, which hasn’t been raised since 1991. Details have not been released on the Senate proposal for next year, but its prime sponsor said it won’t be as big of an increase. “It’s not an exaggeration to say we have a catastrophic situation with our infrastructure,’’ said House Public Works Chairman David Campbell, who sponsored this year’s defeated gas tax bill. Campbell and other supporters of increasing funding for roads and bridges are adopting a new tactic for next year. They’re gambling that the House can be swayed to pass a casino bill and that the Senate can be persuaded to hike the gas and diesel tax. The risk is high that each chamber will stick to its established position and no revenue bill will pass. That keeps Clement awake at night. The expansion of I-93 from four lanes to six lanes — and potentially eight — from the
Massachusetts border to Manchester to ease traffic congestion and spur economic growth will stop, and even if the $250 million needed is later approved, construction won’t be done before the state’s environmental permit expires in 2020, which would lead to further delays and higher costs, he said. Design work on the remaining I-93 sections is being done in hopes money will be available within the next year to begin work in 2015. The department also will begin running a deficit starting in mid-2015 that could force Clement to lay off up to 600 of his 1,600 workers and reduce services, including how often snowplow trucks complete circuits during storms. More money is needed — and soon — to keep contractors from migrating to other jobs and to keep the department operating smoothly, Clement said. “I am revenue agnostic. It doesn’t matter where the revenue comes from,’’ he said. Contractors working on I-93 say that whether or when they pull out depends on if there’s money to do the work without leaving them idle waiting. Taxpayers will pay more if the job stalls, contractors said. If a company already has its heavy equipment at the interstate, it costs less to move the machinery to a new site a few miles away, said Ryan Audley, vice president of R.S., Audley Inc., which is working on the Exit 4 interchange. If the equipment is moved to a new job location and later brought back, the costs for a contract can be hundreds of thousands of dollars higher, he said. “We will have to go out of New Hampshire to bid projects,’’ he said. If lawmakers don’t break the stalemate, Clement said he won’t pour all the state’s limited resources into finishing I-93 when there are so many roads and bridges in need of repair elsewhere. More than 350 municipal bridges are on the state’s “red list’’ of structures badly in need of repair or replacement. An additional 140 bridges owned by the state are also on the list. The state has roughly 1,600 mi. of state roads in poor condition, 1,900 mi. in fair condition and 800 in good condition. “We cannot let the rest of the state starve on the back of I-93,’’ he said.
