Portsmouth Bypass...
Feds Recommend Demolition Officials Embark on State’s of Ohio Uranium Plant Site Largest Roadway Project COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Transportation officials in Ohio are reviewing the winning bid package for what will be the largest single roadway construction project in modern state history. The $429 million Portsmouth bypass project in southern Ohio is a 16-mi. (25.7 km), four-lane limited access highway from U.S. 23 north of Lucasville to U.S. 52 near Sciotoville. The Ohio Department of Transportation said the new roadway will complete the missing Ohio link of the Appalachian Development Highway System, which runs from Mississippi to New York through the eastern United States. It’s the first-ever public-private partnership the Ohio department has embarked on, the culmination of two years of preparatory work. ODOT said the unique business arrangement will allow it to accelerate the bypass project by decades and to take advantage of current economic conditions. Portsmouth Gateway Group was the winner in a three-way contest when bid pack-
ages were opened recently and will land the job after a thorough state review, the state said. The consortium includes: Dragados, USA Inc.; The Beaver Excavating Co.; John R. Jurgensen Co.; ms Consultants; ACS Infrastructure Development; Infrared Capital Partners Limited; and Star America Fund GP. It was one of three teams chosen in September 2013 to submit technical and financial proposals for the project. The group’s formal bid will be scrutinized over the coming weeks to go over financial details and assure everything is complete. Real estate has already been acquired for the project, which marks the department’s largest, modern earthwork project to date. Clearing and demolition have begun and construction is expected to start next summer. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
WAVERLY, Ohio (AP) The federal government recommends demolishing more than 200 buildings at the site of a former Cold War-era uranium plant in southern Ohio and creating a disposal facility there for most of the waste. At issue is the campus of the former Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant in Piketon, roughly 60 mi. south of Columbus. The facility produced enriched uranium until 2001. The government is accepting public comment until Jan. 10 about whether the buildings should be torn down and whether any resulting waste, an estimated 1.5 million cu. yds. of debris should be left there or moved off site, The Chillicothe Gazette reported. About 100 people attended a public meeting recently, with some speaking in support of the recommended demolition and disposal facility. Pike County Commissioner Blaine Beekman said after initially having a negative reaction, commissioners there and in adjacent Jackson, Ross and Scioto counties support the Department of Energy’s recommendations for demolition and a disposal
facility. “We could accept the low-level waste cell at Piketon if, in return, DOE would commit to a cleanup of the existing (contaminated) plumes and landfills on site,” he said. Local union president Herman Potter said consolidating the plumes and landfills is key for potentially re-industrializing the site. He was among those who raised concerns that the department’s written commitment to cleaning up the area leaves too much room for backing out of certain work. Not everyone attending the meeting was fully on board with the plan. One speaker argued the comment period was too short for the complicated issues, and another worried about environmental implications. “We want jobs and we want the cleanup to go forward, but if we build the [on-site disposal facility], there’s no guarantee we’re not going to become a national dump site,” said Vina Colley, president of Portsmouth/Piketon Residents for Environmental Safety and Security.

That’s why Hyundai designs their equipment with features that matter. From the minute-by-minute, online ability to connect with your machines and know their exact productivity, to the best warranty in the business - 3 years/3000 hours full machine and 5 years/10,000 hours structural.
