Michael W. Johnson, president and CEO of the National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association, interrupted his advocacy efforts recently to talk about the DRIVE Act and the need for a long-term, stably funded surface transportation bill. The DRIVE Act is the reauthorization bill approved July 21 at the committee level for full Senate consideration. CEG: A release by your association says that the NSSGA knows “exactly what it will take to get America’s economy and infrastructure back to what it needs to be.” Is the association’s answer, by any chance, “money”?

In contrast, equipment prices started to tick higher in July, with the market for turbines showing some tightness.” The current subcontractor labor index regissee LABOR page 30

Richard S. Burns & Co. — Decades Ahead of Its Time Over the past few decades, the concept of waste and recycling has evolved dramatically. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only 6 percent of the total waste material was recycled in the 1960s. In 2012, Americans recycled and composted almost 87 million tons (78 million t), equivalent to a 34.5 percent recycling rate. These figures help describe how times have changed. Nowadays, there is a different approach towards waste management, greater awareness relating to sustainability, innovative technologies and improved processes that allow for transforming waste materials back into raw-materials for the creation of new products. Richard S. Burns & Co., based in Philadelphia, Pa., believes in a greener economy, one that simultaneously promotes sustainability and economic growth. The company is a waste recycling and recovery facility, and was founded by Richard S. Burns in the 1960s. At the time, recycling was not a widespread concept. The company started as a one-person cleanout, and as the company began finding new options and applications for the recyclable materials, it grew to accommodate a 12 acre-property located in the sixth largest metropolitan area in the country. The company’s 60-person team of professionals serves the greater Philadelphia and Delaware valley region, which is home to more than six million people. Ahead of his time, Burns applied the concept of green building. He was able to salvage and recycle materials from those newly acquired properties and use them to develop the new Burns facility. Most of the waste that Richard S. Burns & Co. collects and receives at its facility comes from commercial and residential construction sites as well as from individual deliveries. The Burns Company is capable of handling 1,500 tons (1,360 t) of material a day and recycle more than 80 percent of the nonhazardous materials into a wide array of ready-to-use products, reducing the amount of natural resources that are consumed for every new product. The Burns facility is permitted by the PADEP and is able to meet and many times exceed the LEED goals for materials recovery. The company is a recognized supplier of recycled products such as wood chips, mulch, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, various grades of plastics, textiles, carpet, gypsum, carboard, modified crushed concrete, top soil and Barrier. In order to produce consistent qualityrecovered materials, the company relies on its trained personnel and dependable equipment to recover materials. The recycling and recovery operation starts on the tipping floor

where the material is pre-sorted and transferred to the proper stream depending on the type of material. Once at the right station, the materials are further sorted and processed to be recycled into raw products. Quality control is very important at the Burns recycling facility; therefore, the sorting process is performed two and three times until the material is free of unwanted debris and the desired quality standards are met. The raw product is then stockpiled prior to shipping. During the recycling process, Liebherr wheel loaders are used to move the material throughout the facility, requiring the operators to constantly shift from forward to reverse. “After visiting an industry trade show in Germany and reviewing the features of the Liebherr hydrostatic drive, I instantly saw this as an asset to our operators since we are committed to making sound equipment choices,” said Allen T. Burns, vice president of the Richard S. Burns & Co. “After recognizing the potential value of the Liebherr These machines are configured specifically for material handling applications.

Doosan Ensures More Business Remains Within Reach Firms Not Afraid to Complete Jobs — on Land or Water — With Super-Long-Reach Excavators Working around water is certainly not for everyone. It requires a special talent, a boatload of unique equipment and a sense of adventure in dealing with the unknown. Both Wickberg Marine Contracting and Carolina Marine Structures have carved out a very successful niche for themselves handling dredging and other projects along east coast waterways using Doosan heavy equipment, including excavators and wheel loaders. The value of these machines, however, doesn’t stop where the water ends. Their versatility shines in many land applications, too. Equipment Provides Dredging Options During the past few years, Richard Wickberg, president of Wickberg Marine Contracting, has overseen a plan that moved the company beyond hydraulic dredging to include mechanical dredging and jetty construction. The plan was put into motion when Ted Faxon joined the company. “My background was mechanical dredging, so when I came onboard the company saw a new opportunity and made a big investment in another long-reach excavator, a couple of dozers, an off-road dump truck and additional barges and boats,” Faxon said. “As a result of that commitment by ownership, we are the biggest ‘back channel’ dredging outfit in the region.” He points out that the multimillion-dollar business is equally divided between mechanical and hydraulic dredging, working for clients that include the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, municipalities, townships and marina owners. “With four dredges, we are the only company in New Jersey that has more than one, and there are only two of those firms,” he said. “There are not a lot of people who have the experience to get into this business. It’s very expensive — especially buying equipment for the hydraulic process — and when you work on the water there are many unknowns. That makes people nervous.” By offering both hydraulic and mechanical dredging services, Wickberg is able to provide the best option for each job. Last year, for example, the company was hired by the New Jersey DEP to remove about 20,000 cubic yards of material from Twilight Lake in Ocean County. The original plan called for hydraulic dredging. Faxon, however, believed the mechanical method would be more cost-effective. “I contacted the DEP, explained the job to them and we both agreed it would be impossible to do it hydraulically because of the limited space for the dewatering area,” he

water and dig down to the original bottom of Twilight Lake, to remove excess sediment that had been deposited from a stormwater outfall pipe, as well as from several thousand cubic yards of sand left over from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. The goal of the county was to enhance the aquatic use and health of the lake. After using the DX300LC SLR excavator with a reach of 57 feet on several other dredging projects, Faxon raves about its efficiency. “Dollar for dollar, it’s as good as any similar machine,” he said. “Our operators like the user-friendly features such as the quiet, comfortable cab with excellent visibility. Fast cycle times, superior fuel efficiency and reliability make the excavator very valuable.” Another Doosan machine, a DX340LC Tom Grant (L), salesman of H&E Equipment and Chris Coleman, owner of Carolina excavator, handles some of the heavier liftMarine Structures discuss the project. ing jobs. All of the Doosan machines were purchased from Hoffman Equipment. “We will do most projects on the water — back channels, not ocean — that our equipment is capable of handling,” Faxon said. “The Doosan excavators we have added the past couple of years have helped expand our capabilities and opened the door to more work.” Water Project Expert When Chris Coleman started his second marine construction company 11 years ago, his approach to the business was decidedly different than his first trip around the water. “My first company got so big that I was not even seeing my projects being built,” he said, speaking of the 200-employee organization he ran in Virginia. “I was sitting behind a desk, putting out fires and dealing with problems. This time I wanted to be out in the field operating machinery, doing the building and teaching my employees how to build these jobs properly.” His new enterprise, Carolina Marine Structures, located in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, has grown into the largest marine contractor on the Outer Banks. Coleman and his 15 employees specialize in dredging, bridge and culvert projects, boat ramps, bulkhead piers and other water-related types of work. A significant factor in his new approach was replacing large cranes with a pair of Doosan DX225LC SLR crawler excavators Carolina Marine Structures purchased two Doosan DX225LC SLR crawler excava- from H&E Equipment Services in tors. Chesapeake, Virginia. said. “We were the only contractor to get advantage for us.” “I intended to purchase one machine, but permission from the DEP prior to the bid Another advantage is their Doosan when I demoed it and discovered the exceldate to mechanically handle the job. We are DX300LC SLR (super-long-reach) crawler lent pricing structure, I took two of them,” he one of the few firms that are equipped to excavator.

LaBountyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s MSD2250R Stands Tall in Port Everglades Alliedbean Demolition, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., was recently commissioned to tear down ten 400-ton (362 t) steel plate storage tanks at the Port Everglades seaport near the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Each tank was used to store more than 1 million gal. (3.7 million L) of molasses, but have been abandoned for the last several years. The tankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure was made up of steel plate that varies from 3/16 to 1-1/8 in. (.5 to 2.8 cm) thick. Company Wrench provided the shear and machine for the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are using a Kobelco SK260 excavator with a LaBounty MSD2250R, which is one of LaBountyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest models of mobile shears. The shear enables the operator to have a more powerful attachment on a smaller machine,â&#x20AC;? said Kevin Bean, Alliedbean president. The cutting force of the MSD2250R is comparable to the MSD2500R but can be used with smaller 55,000 lbs. (24,947.5 kg) weight class excavators to save on fuel, operating and freight costs. see LABOUNTY page 46

Lift day came and went without incident. But what made this construction project a success was the larger ALL team. The outbounders who prepped the cranes before the job. The operators who checked equipment before every shift. The safety people and project managers who, for the good of the customer, help to keep the whole team moving in the same direction. And this team is part of a much bigger team, the ALL Family of Companies.

Project to Stop Level of Deterioration in Capitol Dome This project is needed to stop the current level of deterioration in the Dome’s cast iron, as well as to ensure the protection of the interior of the Dome and Rotunda.

The Dome, originally constructed of cast iron more than 150 years ago, has not undergone a complete restoration since 1960.

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

The United States Capitol Dome is currently in the middle of a multi-year project started by the Architect of the Capitol (AOC) to repair years of cracks and deficiencies brought about by aging and weather. The Dome, originally constructed of cast iron more than 150 years ago, has not undergone a complete restoration since 1960. More than 1,000 cracks and deficiencies have been identified. According to the AOC Web site, because the Capitol Dome is predominately made of cast iron, exposure to rain, snow, sleet and sun has caused damage to its exterior. Water infiltrated through pin holes in the Statue of Freedom, and through cracks and open joints throughout the exterior shell including the tholos balustrade, the base of the cupola, and the boilerplate balcony level. Leaks in the interstitial space promoted the rusting of the ironwork and the failure of the protective paint coatings. Additionally, the Web site reported that the decorative elements that give the Capitol Dome its unique character are rusting, and in some cases falling from the structure. If these repairs are not made, the artwork in the Rotunda, including the Apotheosis of Washington and the Frieze of American History, are at great risk of damage due to water leaks. “As stewards of the Capitol for the Congress and the American people, we must conduct this critical work to save the Dome,” AOC’s Stephen T. Ayers, stated on the Web site. “From a distance, the Dome looks magnificent, thanks to the hard work of our employees. On closer look, under the paint, age and weather have taken its toll and the AOC needs to make repairs to preserve the Dome.” This project is needed to stop the current level of deterioration in the Dome’s cast iron, as well as to ensure the protection of the interior of the Dome and Rotunda. During the last exterior renovation, the Dome was

stripped of its paint so the ironwork could be repaired and primed with a rust inhibitor. As part of its comprehensive project planning process, the AOC is undertaking a similar renovation. The restoration project includes removal of old paint, repairs to the cast iron, and repainting. The AOC will supervise the project to ensure it remains on time and on budget. Turner-Smoot, a joint venture, is the main contractor. It was awarded in November 2013, and preparation work began in January 2014. The Dome Restoration Project’s authorized budget for this phase of the project is $59.55 million. This includes construction, contingency costs, and project support. The planned completion date for exterior work is winter 2015, and interior work is expected to be complete by fall 2016. The entire project will be complete before the next

Presidential Inauguration in 2017. The majority of the work will be done at night and on weekends to ensure minimal disruption to Congressional business, events, and public tours. However, Dome tours will not be offered while the project is under way. To protect the public during the project, a canopy system in the shape of a doughnut was reportedly installed in the Capitol Rotunda. The configuration allows the Apotheosis of Washington mural, in the eye of the Rotunda, to be visible during the restoration process. Following installation of safety netting, a scaffold system was installed to surround the exterior of the Dome. Scaffold towers and scaffold bridging also were constructed on the west front of the U.S. Capitol Building (the National Mall side) to help move materials to the work areas. see DOME page 26

Rotunda Restoration to Remove Hazardous Materials The planned completion date for exterior work is winter 2015, and interior work is expected to be complete by fall 2016.

Turner-Smoot, a joint venture, is the main contractor. It was awarded in November 2013, and preparation work began in January 2014. DOME from page 22

The Dome Restoration Project team is currently working behind large containment areas to remove lead paint and apply primer before repairing the cracks. Due to the enclosure, the lights in the Tholos that signify when either the House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate are in session are no longer visible, so four temporary LED lights were placed on the scaffold projecting outward from the Tholos. After work is complete and the enclosure is removed, the regular Tholos lights will again be in operation. The Rotunda is used for important ceremonial events, such as the lying in state of eminent citizens, the awarding of Congressional Gold Medals and the dedication of works of art. The focus of the Rotunda Restoration will be to remove hazardous materials (such as lead paint), restore ironwork, upgrade electrical and mechanical systems, install new lighting, and repaint it to historically appropriate colors. This effort is planned to begin late July 2015 and be complete prior to the Presidential Inauguration in January 2017. Construction of the original Capitol building began in 1793 and was completed in 1826. It was made of brick clad in sandstone. The north and south wings and connecting corridors added in the mid-19th century and the replica of the east front constructed in the 20th century are made of brick clad in marble, and the dome is made of 8,909,200 lbs. of cast iron. The building’s length, from north to south, is 751 ft., 4 in.; its greatest width is 350 ft. Its height above the base line on the east front to the top of the Statue of Freedom is 288 ft. Congress first met in the building on Nov. 17, 1800. The restoration project involves 1.1 million lbs. (498,952 kg) of scaffold, more than 75,000 pieces of equipment, 52 mi. [83.7 km] of scaffold pipe, and 2 mi. [1.2 km] of decking.

In the Rotunda, there are five layers of safety netting, a total of 14,700 sq. ft. (1,365.7 sq m) and 6,100 lbs. (2,766.9 kg). A total of 12,800 in. (32,512 cm) of cracked cast iron will be repaired (8,200 in. [20,828 cm) will be repaired with the “lock and stitch” technique, and 4,600 in. (11,684 cm) will be repaired with the “Dutchman” technique). A total of 1,215 gal. (4,599.3 L) of paint will be used to repaint the Dome — three layers with 405 gal. (1,533 L) each. The estimated historical cost of the United States Capitol as of 2003 was $133 million. This includes the original building (the Rotunda and the north and south wings) as it stood in 1824 ($2.4 million), the cast-iron dome added in 1866 ($1 million), and the extensions (which house the present House and Senate chambers as well as office and support spaces) completed in 1867 ($8.1 million). Numerous additions, renovations and modernization efforts made throughout the years added another $122 million. In addition, improvements to the Capitol Grounds had an estimated historical cost of $33.8 million as of fiscal year 2003; these include such items as landscaping, sidewalks, and security features. This estimate does not include the newest addition to the Capitol, the Capitol Visitor Center, which was constructed after 2003. The numbers are given in historical dollars spent, and have not been inflated to reflect current-day replacement value.

Following installation of safety netting, a scaffold system was installed to surround the exterior of the Dome.

Four-Year Deal…

NJPA Awards JCB North America Equipment Contract The National Joint Power Alliance (NJPA) has awarded JCB North America with a four-year contract to provide NJPA members with medium-duty and compact construction and maintenance equipment. The contract, which officially began May 19, 2015, also covers related attachments, accessories and supplies. “We’re extremely pleased to have our proposal chosen by the NJPA,” said Scott Whitehurst, commercial sales manager of JCB North America. “Winning this NJPA contract will give JCB and its dealers the opportunity to build additional brand awareness and sales volume throughout North America. We’re looking forward to working with NJPA members and providing them fast and easy access to the quality, competitively priced equipment they need.” The NJPA is a municipal contracting agency for government, education and non-profit agencies throughout the United States and Canada. The NJPA goes through a 12-step procurement process that includes identifying member needs, researching solutions, drafting and posting solicitations, evaluating proposals and awarding vendors. By consolidating the efforts of numerous individually prepared solicitations and contracts to one cooperative process, the NPJA is able to help members save time and offer access to a broad range of exceptional product and equipment options with aggressive and competitive pricing. JCB’s contract with the NJPA includes equipment such as skid steers, compact track loaders, backhoes, compact excavators, rough terrain forklifts, telescopic forklifts and compaction rollers. JCB’s network of more than 300 North American dealer outlets, as well as over 500 JCB employees work diligently to provide exceptional customer service and after-the-sale support. The company also will offer appropriate training events for NJPA’s management and sales force from its 1,048 acre corporate campus in Savannah, Ga., along with marketing and trade show support. JCB also will update the Government and Municipal section of its North American Web site with information about the JCB/NJPA partnership to assist NJPA members through the equipment purchase process. “After examining the proposals we received in response to our solicitation, it was evident that JCB had all the qualities we were searching for,” said Tony Glenz, NJPA contract manager of JCB’s award. “Their excellent products, sizeable dealer network, comprehensive marketing plan and dedication will serve our members well. We’re excited to enter into this mutually beneficial partnership with one of the world’s most widely respected equipment manufacturers.” For more information, visit www.jcbna.com.

tered 52.1 in July, higher than June’s reading of 50.7; moving the index solidly above the neutral mark. The majority of regions reported rising cost in July, with the exception of the U.S. Midwest. Prices for subcontract labor in the U.S. Midwest region are now below the neutral mark for the first time since data collection began in 2012. The U.S. South continues to be the strongest region with reported tightness in skilled labor markets due to petrochemical and LNG projects in the region. “U.S. labor markets continue to improve and employers should expect to pay more this year,” said Laura Hodges, director at IHS. “Employers with a significant percentage of skilled workers are particularly vulnerable to higher wages this year. Given their reliance on skilled trades, engineering, procurement and construction (EPCs) firms are already experiencing stronger wage growth for its subcontract workers.” The six month headline expectations index increased in July, rising to 54.9, and continuing its upward trek from a record low of 44.6 in April. The materials/equipment index moved slightly higher to 52.6 in July from 52.5 in June. Eight individual components registered higher price expectations, led by ready-mix concrete. The headline expectations index moved higher in July primarily due to higher expectations for subcontractor labor, which registered 60.2, its strongest level since December. All regions are now

expected to have rising costs in six months, including Western Canada, which has been the most bearish region since oil prices began dropping late last year. ECCI The IHS PEG Engineering and Construction Cost Index (ECCI) is based on data independently obtained and compiled by IHS from the procurement executives of leading engineering, procurement and construction firms. The headline index tracks industry-specific trends and variations, identifying market-turning points for key projects, and is intended to act as a leading indicator for wage and material inflation specific to this industry. Each survey response is weighted equally for every $2 billion in spending in North America. Respondents are asked whether prices — either actual paid transactions or company-informed transactions — during the current month for individual materials, equipment, and regional subcontractor rates, were higher, lower or the same as the prior month. Respondents are then asked for their six-month pricing expectations among these same subcategories. The results are compiled into diffusion indexes, in which a reading greater than 50 represents upward pricing strength and a reading below 50 represents downward pricing strength.

Three Phasesâ&#x20AC;Ś

Nortrax Unveils New Strategy to Serve Customers Nortrax announced a new technology strategy and positions to better serve its construction, forestry and mining customers who are faced with increasingly sophisticated machines, tighter profit margins and a growing reliance on technological expertise. Chris Holmes, Nortrax VP product support said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In order to become even more efficient and effective in supporting our customers, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently revised our technology roadmap at Nortrax. We identified specific needs that our customers demand and have reshaped our strategy to support them.â&#x20AC;? Holmes explained there will be multiple components to the Nortrax plan which will be implemented in three phases. Phase one is the creation of the machine monitoring specialists (MMS) positions. Customers suggested this was an area that Nortrax could utilize to very positively impact their businesses. The MMS utilizes John Deereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s telematics system, JDLink, to remotely monitor and connect with machines that are often hundreds of miles away. The goal of the MMS is to reduce, or in some cases eliminate, downtime events. Phase two includes the product support technology representative (PSTR) positions. One of the cornerstones of the plan is to ensure highly trained technology specialists in the field can better support customers in this ever increasingly complex environment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough for Nortrax to utilize these technologies internally, so the PSTRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will be out in the field every day using technology tools to maximize customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; efficiencies and minimize their downtime. The Nortrax PSTRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s will work directly with other specialized positions such as the MMS as well as the customers themselves to ensure advances in technologies bring concrete dividends to their organizations. Phase three is the creation of the customer support center. Nortrax has made substantial investments in IT infrastructure recently, and the customer support center will take full advantage of these technologies. Calls placed to a Nortrax branch with all phone lines full will now be directed to a customer support center staffed by certified parts advisors. These highly trained specialists will have up to the minute access to parts inventories and can provide customers with an immediate answer regarding parts availability. In addition, the customer support center will be staffed by MMS, as well, to provide machine monitoring and parts support, 24/7/365. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The three phases of our plan, MMS, PSTR and the customer support center, are foundational elements to our overall technology strategy,â&#x20AC;? added Holmes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already begun finalizing phase two plans, and are excited to be the bridge between technological advances in our industry and our customers.â&#x20AC;?

Crews Preserve Mill’s Original Columns From 1902

Several hundred people joined university leaders, elected officials and the developer for the March 2014 groundbreaking to recognize the historic structure, which operated as a cotton mill until 1962. MILL from page 1

have access to the convention and conference venue, and we expect to see a lot of activity from business groups, non-profits and other organizations, all which will create significant economic activity in the community.” The 10.89-acre site at the corner of Russell Street and Highway 12 will feature a 73,975-sq. ft. (6,872 sq m) office and conference center, with a 1,000-seat ballroom in the renovated E.E. Cooley Building. The Class-A office space will include exposed wood beams and columns, open spaces and abundant natural light. “Looking at the long term, The Mill will anchor a new gateway to both the campus and the city that provides an even greater connection and unity,” Shaw said. “We envision The Mill as the centerpiece of development along the Russell Street corridor that enhances the community, provides new quality of life amenities and is a magnet for students, faculty and staff, as well as community members, visitors and alumni.” The construction is the result of a multiyear, collaborative effort by public and private stakeholders to preserve the building. Several hundred people joined university leaders, elected officials and the developer for the March 2014 groundbreaking to recognize the historic structure, which operated as a cotton mill until 1962. Mississippi State purchased the John M. Stone Cotton Mill in 1965 and renamed it after the school’s former superintendent of utilities. Prior to the start of the renovation, Mississippi State’s

facilities management operations were relocated to an existing space on campus. Castle Properties is serving as the developer on the project. “The project is transformative for the community,” said Mark Castleberry owner of Castle Properties. “We have developed many projects, but none will impact the community and create additional opportunities as The Mill at MSU. The Cooley Building represents the history of Mississippi moving from a totally agrarian economy to adding value through industrial processes. The founders of The Mill knew they could get trained mill employees at the adjacent [then] Mississippi Agricultural and

Mechanical College’s new textile school that was founded in 1900. “Structurally, we replaced the roof and did extensive reinforcing of the timber columns and beams. The creation of the free span ballroom was an amazing effort to watch. Most of the original structure is intact with only a coat of paint, so when you walk through the building you will see the round columns from the original 1902 construction, and then see the square columns from the 1928 addition. We sanded the original wood floor in the public areas. The brick walls were in good shape, but needed mortar replacement in many areas. The largest effort was in the mechanical systems. It was a chal-

lenge to install the electrical, plumbing, HVAC and data cabling for modern needs, while not seeing miles of conduit and ducts. “The team did a tremendous job of designing and constructing a very clean look that does not take away from the function or history of the building. The windows were a challenge, since one is restricted to replace them with modern windows. There are several types of windows and glass in the building. Each had to be restored with a great deal of hand work involved.” The Mill created the Cotton District in the early 1900s, but the significance of the district was a contributing reason to restore The Mill in 2015. “The Cotton District is a very vibrant area of student and other housing, restaurants and businesses,” said Castleberry. “The restoration of The Mill will only add to its success. The Mill will once again provide a place of employment and services, as it did when conceived. Our efforts in renovating The Mill have caused others to invest in the Cotton District and the surrounding area. We’re very pleased with this synergy for the community and its contribution to our project. “The parking garage allowed for a much denser development on this location than otherwise possible. Also, we placed the parking garage in the middle of the development to be accessible to all buildings, but be somewhat hidden. We replaced a huge parking lot with an attractive, much smaller footprint garage. The parking garage is needed see MILL page 50

Plans for The Mill Include Signature Restaurant at West End MILL from page 34

for The Mill conference center and office space. In addition, the hotel and other developments will use it.” The hotel will be four stories tall and 105 rooms. It will have a Starbucks in the lobby and a bistro. The exterior will be mostly brick to complement The Mill. In addition to MSU and the city of Starkville, The National Parks Service, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the Mississippi Development Authority have been involved in the project, with Copeland & Johns Inc. serving as general contractor. Work is 95 percent complete, with painting, flooring and ceiling installation currently taking place, along with the installation of audio visual component, lighting, kitchen equipment and restrooms. Installation of the monumental stair millwork began in May. The stair treads and risers were crafted from reclaimed wood from the original building structure. “In order to construct the ballroom, we had to selectively demolish a large portion of the existing roof structure,” said Jason Lee, project manager of Copeland & Johns. “Then we demolished the second floor to create a vaulted ceiling for the new ballroom. We installed a new structural steel framework comprised of columns, beams and joists that are large enough to freespan the ballroom area, so there are no obtrusive columns in the space. All of this work had to be performed while supporting the exterior brick walls and windows. The walls and windows could not move during the deconstruction of the roof and second floor.” The parking garage finished mid-June, with the hotel slated for completion by late September. All site demolition is complete. There were approximately seven existing buildings on the site that had to be demolished, including a building that housed MSU’s facilities maintenance department. “The most difficult part of this project has been coordinating and facilitating the different architect’s, engineer’s, contracts, budgets and schedules that comprise this entire development,” said Lee. “It was basically an old industrial site. Some portions were well kept, and other areas were dilapidated. All work performed within, and adjacent to, the Cooley building must be approved by the National Parks Service. They require that we adhere to strict guidelines in order to maintain the historical significance of the building.” Thousands of cubic yards of dirt are being moved on this project. Equipment needed to complete the project includes track hoes, backhoes, skid steers, all terrain lifts, various types of man lifts, all types of scaffolding, two cranes, bulldozers, roller packers and concrete mixers. Materials being used

include wood, drywall, metal studs, structural steel, concrete, paint and roofing materials. “This project had a fairly large civil and infrastructure component,” said Lee. “We constructed new underground utilities, new city streets, private drives, retaining walls, ramps, sidewalks, lighting, irrigation, landscaping and hardscaping. Rain and chilly temperatures also have been an issue. “Weather has certainly been a factor with the site work,” Lee said. “We experienced much more wet, cold, weather throughout the winter and early spring than is normal for this area.”

also a complicated restoration technique. Removing the roof and structural members to accomplish a 1,000 seat clear span ballroom was technically the most difficult, and amazing, to watch. One third of the building sat for a month without a roof.” Renovating the aging structure took a major effort and commitment by all the team members. “The developer had the original vision of what The Mill could become, and has worked tirelessly to ensure his original vision is realized,” said Barnes. “It’s no small feat to take a dilapidated structure and transform it into a thriving center for commerce and an impetus for new adjacent

linear clerestory running the full length of the original building. Flooding the mill floor with natural light reduced the need for oil lamps and lanterns, which were a fire hazard in an environment where fabric was produced. Moving forward, a signature restaurant is planned at the west end of The Mill. The design will be modern. Additionally, The Mill development team is planning another hotel and restaurant on the two remaining outparcels. The entire district is slated for development. A large condominium project is planned across Russell Street, due north of The Mill. A mixed-use boutique development, 550 Russell, will be built across Mill

The turn-of-the-century-industrial, heavy timber structure with double and triple wythe solid brick walls around the perimeter features two floors, plus a basement on the east end as the site slopes away.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the structure as a whole has endured the test of time. “We tested the strength of some of the existing wooden beams in the building,” said Lee “While doing so, it was determined that all of the beams were constructed of heart pine. One particular beam was found to have 170 growth rings. It was original to the building, so it had been installed in 1902. That means the tree was born circa 1730.” Jeff Barnes, AIA, Dale Partners Architects P.A., said the vision for this project was to create a state-of-the-art conference and Class-A corporate facility within a 1902 mill building. “Because both federal and historic tax credits are being used, all of the upgrades must be accomplished in a manner that does not obfuscate or compromise the original structure and character of the mill,” said Barnes. “Once complete, one must be able to quickly discern original from new, so contrast was the overall design tool we used to accomplish this goal. “Recording existing conditions was challenging. Leveling the floors and strengthening the split and warped wood structure with pressure injected structural epoxy resin was

The construction is the result of a multi-year, collaborative effort by public and private stakeholders to preserve the building.

developments.” Barnes said the scale shift from small and intimate residential buildings within the Cotton District to the large industrial airiness of The Mill was both interesting and inspirational. “Although none of the original mill support buildings remain, it was easy to imagine the village of worker houses and support structures surrounding it. Understanding the historical context helped us alter and add to the site in a more sympathetic manner. The quality of the materials and the amount of care and craftsmanship that was used to construct the original building was phenomenal. “The original facility was expanded several times over its first 60 years of life. You can track each addition because brick colors vary, outrigger profiles change, column shapes change from round to square and window types change from wood to steel with each successive addition.” The turn-of-the-century-industrial, heavy timber structure with double and triple wythe solid brick walls around the perimeter features two floors, plus a basement on the east end as the site slopes away. The looms occupied the second floor and were aligned under a central light monitor/a four-sided

Street to the west, and will offer street level retail, cafes and dining terraces, offices and luxury condominiums on the upper levels, with views to campus and the new MSU stadium. A second mixed-use development is planned that will bookend the opposite/east side of The Mill, and frame the front yard. The development to the east will feature street level retail shops and restaurants, with apartments on the upper floors. “I want all 13 acres of The Mill at MSU to communicate that it’s an exciting and fulfilling place, said Castleberry. “If you are a conference attendee, you will know you are not in a sterile conference center, but in a place with presence. If you are fortunate enough to have an office there, I hope we will have contributed to you having a better, more productive day. The front lawn will not be developed and will likely become an event and gathering place. I look forward to seeing it give back to the community, as it did for so many years as a mill.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Lady Bamford Center Hosts Ceremony for Pre-K Students The Lady Bamford Center for Early Childhood Development hosted a Moving On ceremony on May 21. The ceremony celebrated the center’s pre-kindergarten students as they transition to kindergarten with an alphabet parade, special songs and remarks about notable student achievements. The Lady Bamford Center was founded by JCB and named after the chairman of the company’s wife, Lady Carole Bamford. It is operated by Wesley Community Centers of Savannah to provide education and social skills development to children from six weeks to four years of age. The organization uses an interactive curriculum to prepare young children for kindergarten and elementary school. The center offers priority admission to children from homeless or lowincome families, as well as children facing physical, mental or emotional challenges.

The L556 industrial wheel loaders stage IIIB/Tier IVi are used around the clock throughout the facility to feed these materials into crushers and move the materials around the facility before being loaded into trailers and transported to end users.

L556 hydrostatic wheel loader in our operation, I arranged to fly the operation managers and our service managers to Liebherr’s headquarters in Newport News, Virginia. They tried the L556 firsthand and put it thru the paces. In a short period of time we all agreed, the L556’s would improve our production and reduce operational cost as well as our carbon footprint.” Modified crushed concrete, mulch, wood and top soil are featured products at Richard S. Burns & Co. The L556 industrial wheel loaders stage IIIB/Tier IVi are used around the clock throughout the facility to feed these materials into crushers and move the materials around the facility before being loaded into trailers and transported to end users. These machines are configured specifically for material handling applications. They are equipped with industrial lift arms and a hydraulic quick-coupler system, which allows for a wide range of equipment options to be attached and removed quickly. The machines also feature fluff traps to protect the radiator from damage and contamination in dust-intensive operations. Safety features such as front and rear chassis protection, tilt cylinder and front windshield

protection are standard in this configuration to resist the tough environment of a recycling application. Just as Allen T. Burns, and his team at Richard S. Burns & Co. are avid believers in a greener economy, one that promotes sustainability and economic growth, Liebherr’s top priority is to develop more sustainable and energy efficient machines. This concept is especially important during the machine design. The implementation of energy efficiency technologies such as the hydrostatic drive and the Liebherr Power Efficiency system (LPE) optimizes the interaction between drive components. This system is able to adjust the performance power for every working situation enhancing the efficiency of the wheel loader and providing additional fuel savings (up to 25 percent compared to conventional travel gears). The active approach to energy efficiency gives Richard S. Burns & Co. the possibility to optimize the energy consumption of the equipment used at his facility and both immediate and long-term savings while reducing the carbon footprint of his equipment.
