TGR Enters Placement Phase on Voinovich Bridge Project By Rick Zettler SPECIAL TO CEG

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is in the midst of a multi-year program to replace the functionally obsolete and structurally deficient Innerbelt Bridge crossing the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, city streets and Cuyahoga River in downtown Cleveland. The two new George V. Voinovich Bridges on Interstate 90 replacing the single 55-year-old structure will carry eastbound and westbound traffic through downtown and are just a part of the multibillion dollar Innerbelt Corridor revitalization program. The more than half-billion dollar bridge investment has already seen completion of one, 4,347-ft. (1,325 m) long bridge and demolition of the old Innerbelt Bridge. Construction has commenced on the second 3,918-ft-long (1,194-m) twin structure and, when completed in 2016, will add lane capacity to more efficiently and safely carry the 140,000 vehicles traveling through the downtown area every day. A design-build method —constructed by a joint venture between construction giants Trumbull, Great Lakes and Ruhlin (TGR) and designed by URS Corporation — is being used to save time. TGR purchased a Terex Bid-Well 4800 paver specifically for the project, and crews planned to use it in multiple ways to complete various project segments more efficiently to save time, labor and paving days.

Weekend Warrior TGR’s first planned project for the paver was flatwork paving a portion of East 9th Street in busy downtown Cleveland. “People often think of the 4800 paver as a bridge paver,” said Marty Bachey, Terex Bid-Well regional sales manager. “While it effectively paves bridges, it also can be equipped with a spud vibra-

tor for efficiently paving roads, similar to what TGR planned.” This small section of roadway carries three lanes of traffic and offers access to I-90 West. “The paving width for this project started at 50-ft. wide and tapered to 24-ft. wide,” said Fenton Moore, superstructure superintendent of TGR. The challenge of paving this

150-ft. (45.7 m) stretch of road was to complete the project, start to finish, over one weekend, so traffic had to be diverted to use alternate routes. TGR meticulously planned the project. Removal of the existing road and installation, grading and compaction of subbase material was to be completed Friday night into Saturday morning. Paving with the 4800 paver of a

medium-set, 24-hour-cure concrete would take place on Saturday. Finally, the crew would overlay the 9-in. (22.8 cm) concrete base with 3 in. (7.6 cm) of asphalt Monday morning before being reopened to traffic later that day. For this portion of the project, see VOINOVICH page 2

TGR planned to equip the paver with 24-ft. (7.3 m) end segments to allow up to 21-ft. (6.4-m) variable width paving at the right and left segments. This would allow the crew to vary paving widths by up to 42 ft. (12.8 m), offering more than enough capacity to meet the 25-ft. (7.6 m) taper on East 9th Street. Since TGR was prepared to use the 4800 paver for this project, the three manholes in this stretch of road were placed at grade without the need to construct box-outs, saving prep and paving time. “The operator can just lift the spud vibrator from the platform, move the paving carriage across the manhole and then reinsert the vibrators into the concrete,” said Fenton. The job was planned for early summer, but factors outside of TGR’s control significantly delayed the project. The Cleveland Cavaliers’ run into the NBA postseason saw home games taking place over the weekends, “and there was no way we would have been allowed to close East 9th Street with both home basketball and baseball games taking place over the weekend,” said Moore. Second, the weather did not cooperate, as more than two-thirds of the days in June saw measurable rainfall. Weather-related issues continually pushed back paving dates to the end of June to pour the 180 cu. yd. (138 cu m) of mediumset ODOT 4,500 PSI concrete. With a looming July start-date for critical bridge deck pouring, TGR officials made the decision to pull the 4800 paver from the East 9th Street project and subcontracted the flatwork paving to another contractor. Spreading the Load With street paving shifted over to the subcontractor, TGR focused its efforts solely on the July start to deck pouring with the 4800 paver for the $273 million eastbound traffic bridge. Placement width along the 3,918-ft. (1,194 m) long

bridge varies from 119 ft. (36.3 m) to 87 ft. (26.5 m) wide on the main viaduct spans, and “the east approach measures 87 feet to 114 feet [34.7 m] wide,” said Jeff Lawson, viaduct superintendent of TGR. To complete the paving and placement projects, TGR purchased 126 ft. (38.4 m) of machine frame for the 4800 paver. Two, 15ft. (4.6 m) transition segments were included in the frame’s construction. These inserts help maintain machine structural rigidity and meet the bridge deck’s stringent, 0.125 in. (.3 cm) per 10 ft. (3 m) length smoothness specification. “Our transition segments increase frame depth from 48 in. at the ends to 66 in. in the center to provide a solid frame when paving at extended widths for the paving

carriage to travel,” said Bachey. In total, the bridge deck will require 15,000 cu. yds. (11,468 cu m) of an ODOT Class QC2/QA concrete with designed strength meeting 4,500 PSI. Deck placement was segmented into five deck-pours for the east approach and 19 pours for the main spans. While the bridge piers are positioned at skews to the centerline, the pours are broken up to where all are placed radially, so Terex Bid-Well’s available skew bar kit for the paving carriage is not required for this project. Most critical for deck placement is distribution of machine weight on the overhang brackets. To counteract machine weight deflecting the rail, TGR equipped its paver with the optional six-wheel bogie system instead of the machine’s standard four wheel bogies.

“The 4800 design begins with all welded construction for maximum frame strength with minimum weight to help prevent torsional deflection,” said Bachey. “Using the six-wheel bogie system spreads machine weight over an 18-ft. span, which is about 36 percent wider than the standard four bogies. This further aids contractors working in states like Ohio to meet stringent deflection specs.” In mid-July, TGR’s crews began the first of five pours to pave the 908 ft. (277-m) east bridge approach, which encompasses four spans and requires 2,800 cu. yds. (79 cu m) of concrete. The initial pour called for variable width paving of more than 30 ft. (9.1 m) from start to finish. With the machine’s frame offering up to 42 ft. (12.8 m) of leg travel to provide on-the-fly width changes, “the

4800 accommodated the variable width paving without any issues,” said Lawson. Paving of the four bridge spans of the east approach went smoothly. By purchasing the 4800 paver specifically for paving on the George V. Voinovich Bridge project, TGR and Lawson are confident that they have the machine configured to meet any paving challenge encountered complete the rest of the bridge work. “Terex Bid-Well pavers are the only machines I have used, and they performed well on the first five pours, so I foresee no issues on the horizon for this rest of this project,” said Lawson.

Yoder & Frey’s New Consignment Sale Will Open in May Yoder & Frey Auctioneers Inc. announced an addition to its auction schedule: the grand opening of the Ashland, Ohio, Annual Consignment Auction. Yoder & Frey Auctioneers is an Ohio-based auction company that has been serving the auction needs of the local and global community for more than 52 years. Though it has a large global presence in the heavy equipment industry, tradition and family value has remained crucial to Yoder & Frey throughout its successes. For this reason, when owner Peter Clark heard there was a demand for an auction in the Ashland, Ohio, area he began working with local businesses to try and assist the needs of the community. “We have buyers and sellers from all different parts of the world and we value those relationships, but when someone is telling you there’s a need and it’s right in your back yard, well, you just can’t ignore it,” Clark said. This isn’t the first time Yoder & Frey has assisted with public demand. Much like the new Ashland addition, the Kissimmee Winter Auction started in a similar fashion and celebrated its 42nd Annual Winter Auction in Kissimmee, Fla., this past February. Yoder & Frey was the first auction company to bring heavy equipment auctions to the Orlando area. Beginning in 1975, the company held its first Florida auction, which consisted of one main consigner and lasted only one day. Clark said, “though our chances of success were slim, we ended up raising 2.8 million dollars by the end of the day, which was a lot during that time.” By 1979 it had grown to 7.5 million and gained a heavy following. Years later, several auction companies began holding winter auctions in Florida as well, creating the Florida auction landscape we see today. Annually, Yoder & Frey has brought thousands of construction equipment professionals and enthusiasts to Florida, many of them international buyers. With the new Ashland, Ohio, addition, owner Peter Clark hopes to offer opportunities for successful heavy equipment auctions to individuals and companies in the surrounding areas. “You shouldn’t have to go to Florida to be able to get a nice piece of heavy equipment or vehicles. Some people don’t have time for that,” Clark said. “What we are trying to do is more than auctions though. It’s empowering communities, building relationships and helping local economies. We are from Ohio, let’s support Ohio.” The First Annual Consignment Auction is scheduled for May 17, 2016, at 9 a.m. Registration begins May 16, 2016. There will be a grand opening ribbon cutting that evening. If you are interested in consigning, please contact one of the following sales reps: John Murra: 419/865-3990, john@yoderandfrey.com; Kevin Teets: 304/266-2955, kevin@yoderandfrey.com; Daryl Houle: 603/856-1689, daryl@yoderandfrey.com; or Jason Stribling: 706/499-2850, jason@yoderandfrey.com.
