Cleveland-Millwright Aids in Brewery’s Expansion Cleveland, Ohio’s Great Lakes Brewing Company (GLBC) produces a variety of year-round and specialty “seasonal” beers which are very popular around the Great Lakes region, and, where available, throughout the rest of the country. GLBC has been growing by leaps and bounds, and the decision was made back in late 2013 to undertake a $7 million expansion of the brewery’s tanks in 2014. “The decision was based on our 20 percent growth in 2013, plus future plans to expand to new markets, while meeting growing demand in existing markets,” said Greg Lemermeier, manager of engineering and technology of GLBC. The challenge? The brewery is in a tightly packed, urban area, and the four new tanks would be installed on the edge of a busy parking lot. There would be closeby buildings, vehicles and overhead power lines to tackle in this project. The project would take an entire year in planning and execution, and was handled in phases during the summer of 2014. Superior Erection was called on first to assist with rigging and setting the new tanks. First, two new 600 bbl (18,000 gal. [68,137 L]) Brite storage tanks, which hold finished beer that is ready for packaging, were to be installed. Each was twice the size of the brewery’s older storage tanks, literally quadrupling the brewery’s storage capacity. The two tanks are expected to last two to three years, depending on future expansion. For the next phase, four new 600 bbl fermentation tanks would be installed. The new fermenters would hold the brewery’s most popular, high-volume beers. Because finished beer has to be

chilled when stored, and with an increased need for cooling due to the new tanks, the brewery had to upgrade to a new chiller, first removing the two old ones from the brewery’s roof. Superior installed the steel work and rigged the new, massive chiller into place, which was three times the size of the two old chillers combined. To install the new Brites, fermenters and chiller, the brewery needed to take over part of the adjacent parking lot. Superior and GLBC worked with the lot’s owners on scheduling temporary closure of the lot, including compensation for lost parking revenue during that time. They also had to work around the schedule of the nearby, West Side Market, a destination for locals and out-of-towners alike. Because of the size of the tanks and the nature of work to be performed in lifting and setting them into place, GLBC and Superior obtained numerous permits, escorts, and even permission to close nearby roads at times, to ensure safety of visitors, cars and other businesses in the area. And they were on a tight timeline — permits could only be issued for a day at a time, so when closures were in place, the team had to work quickly. For the Brite tanks and fermenters, Superior used a 250-ton (226.8 t) Grove GMK crane with a 50-ton (45 t) Grove TMS acting as an assist crane in lifting and tilting each tank into the upright position with a tight, 125-ft. (38 t) radius. The 250-ton crane then set the tanks up vertically, and lowered each through the roof’s open hatch onto wheeled skates. Once set upright, they were wheeled into their final positions. Everything went as planned, and

Superior Erection was called on first to assist with rigging and setting the new tanks. First, two new 600 bbl Brite storage tanks, which hold finished beer that is ready for packaging, were to be installed. Each was twice the size of the brewery’s older storage tanks, literally quadrupling the brewery’s storage capacity. The two tanks are expected to last two to three years, depending on future expansion.

the brewery proceeded with the rest of the project, including new electrical work and mechanical install of process piping. The new tanks were operational just before Christmas of 2014. “This was our first time working with Superior. They were recommended by a general contractor and were great to work with,” said Lemermeier. “Through the various stages of the project, they have had several different crews out and all have been professional, efficient and very flexible with the various changes and surprises that tend to come up on complex projects.

They also were very safety conscious, and always followed our safety guidelines. We plan on working with them in the future.” As GLBC’s popularity continues to expand, the increased capacity has helped ensure that the future is bright for the brewery — and that cold beer flows freely from the taps.

Roadway Project to Cost Three Times Estimated Figure COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio’s largest single roadway construction project and first public-private partnership for a highway will cost taxpayers nearly three times its announced price tag of $429 million, according to financial documents. The Columbus Dispatch reported the state will pay about $1.2 billion over the life of a 35-year agreement to build and maintain the Southern Ohio Veterans Memorial Highway, a 16-mi. (25.7 km) link between U.S. 23 and U.S. 52 that will help drivers skirt the Ohio River city of Portsmouth. The initial figure given by state officials left out interest, highway maintenance, financial-transaction costs and other charges developers incur. An Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman said

the department routinely refers only to construction costs when talking about the amount of money spent on a project. The highway, also known as the Portsmouth Bypass, is Ohio’s test case for public-private partnerships in the state. ODOT officials say that paying for the project over time rather than waiting for enough money to become available is smart because the road will spur economic development in beleaguered southern Ohio. But experts say that this project — and future roads built using debt — could hamper the state’s ability to maintain its construction program. Most public-private partnerships have a dedicated revenue stream, such as tolls, that will pay for them.

Increasingly, states are dedicating gas-tax money to pay for projects over time. If too much debt accumulates on their books, that could slow construction on other projects. Robert Poole, transportation director at the Reason Foundation, said roads built through public-private partnerships tend to last longer. Poole believes contractors have an incentive to build a road that doesn’t require much maintenance because they must patch potholes and resurface lanes. Construction on the highway is to begin this summer and finish in 2019. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Veterans Memorial Ready for Work

The final pieces are now in place for the construction of the Southern Ohio Veterans Memorial Highway in Scioto County. The project is made possible by the first public-private partnership (P3) in Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) history. Construction is set to begin this summer and completed in 2019. The Portsmouth Gateway Group will build the 16-mi. (25.75 m), four-lane limited access highway from U.S. Route 23 north of Lucasville to U.S. Route 52 near Sciotoville. The project has been in demand for decades and using innovative P3 financing allows ODOT to build it now and pay for it over 35 years, while still building other important projects around the state. The new highway will complete the Appalachian Development Highway System in Ohio and will improve safety in and around the city of Portsmouth and Scioto County by taking heavy truck traffic off city streets. The project also provides a more direct route between Interstate 70 and I-64, allowing goods to flow more quickly into and through the region. Studies show round-trip travel between U.S. Route 23 and U.S. Route 52 will be reduced by more than a half-hour. Since 2012, ODOT has been working to develop the project as a P3, which allows ODOT to accelerate the project by decades, and the department can avoid rising project costs by taking advantage of current competitive economic conditions. The project’s financing is accomplished through the use of $227.36 million in tax exempt private activity bonds with another $208 million provided through a Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act, or TIFIA, loan from the federal government. The TIFIA Loan is a low-interest loan provided to projects of national and regional significance. Making ODOT history, the Southern Ohio Veterans Memorial Highway is the department’s largest, modern earthwork project to date. Construction crews expect to remove about 25 million cu. yds. (19.1 million cu m) of earth and rock and place another 25 million cu. yds. of embankment.

Ice, Ice Baby...

City of Columbus Snow Removal Plan Earns APWAAward The city of Columbus’s snow and ice control plan and snow removal efforts have earned the American Public Works Association’s national Award for Excellence. The snow and ice control plan is the city’s guide for providing residents efficient and timely snow removal. The APWA award was created to promote excellence in public sector snow and ice operations management and administration, and best practices in snow and ice removal that minimize environmental effects. “We continue to invest in planning, equipment and

state‐of‐the‐art technology to give our Snow Warriors the best resources for fighting whatever nature throws at us each winter,” said Mayor Michael B. Coleman. “I am proud that APWA has honored the hard work that goes on year‐round to keep Columbus streets safe during winter storms.” City’s snow and ice removal plan’s top priority is safety of the public. The APWA award lauds the plan’s main goals: • Reduce life threatening and injury‐producing conditions • Reduce damage to property • Reduce interruption to commerce

• Minimize environmental effects associated with snow and ice removal employees to work together to achieve departmental common goals. “The Public Service Department is a shining example of the innovation and professionalism our residents should expect from the city of Columbus,” said council member Shannon G. Hardin, chair of the Public Service & Transportation Committee. “These men and women work in some of the harshest conditions to improve the safety of our neighborhoods. They deserve all the credit they are receiving in this national recognition.” The Department of Public Service reviews and updates the plan annually, based on past performance and innovations in training, equipment and technology. Columbus’s snow removal and treatment operations have been upgraded in the past two years to include: • Purchase of additional trucks, bringing the total Snow Warrior fleet in the Department of Public Service to 86 plow trucks, plus additional trucks from the Department of Public Utilities and Recreation and Parks Department that give the city a total of 145 snow plow vehicles • Creation of the Warrior Watch Web site 􏰀warriorwatch.columbus.gov􏰁 that allows the media and public to see when specific streets have been plowed in the past 72 hours • The cross‐training of additional city employees to drive snow plow trucks, bringing the total to more than 300 city employees who can be called on to help during extreme winter weather conditions. • The installation of GPS/AVL units with sensors on all city snow plowing trucks that provide real‐time tracking of the trucks’ locations, speeds and whether their plow blades are down and salt spreaders are turned on • The city’s snow plow fleet is getting greener, with more than 50 percent of snow plow trucks running on CNG. • The city plans to convert the entire fleet to CNG‐ powered trucks within the next four years. The award was presented to the city of Columbus at APWA’s 2015 North American Snow Conference in Grand Rapids, Mich., in April.
