Teams of consultants are forming in hopes of winning the contract for a project that will help shape the waterfront’s character for the next century and beyond.

Replacement of the seawall is one part of $4.24 billion project to replace the earthquake-damaged viaduct.

Driven by record federal investment in surface transportation, increased spending through the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and continued easing in material prices, the highway construction market is expected to grow eight percent in 2010, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) annual economic forecast.

ARTBA Vice President of Policy & Economist Alison Premo Black said the value of highway, street and bridge construction (from all sources) put in place should reach $90.5 billion in 2010, up from about $83.9 billion this year.

Black cautioned, however, that the boost to the market could be temporary. Uncertainty over the reauthorization of the multi-year federal surface transportation bill and future growth of the overall U.S. economy, along with the end of stimulus funds, will determine if there is a “soft landing” in 2011 or a more significant downturn, Black said.

The association’s 2010 forecast takes into account current economic conditions, federal investment and state and local funding. The $41.2 billion in 2009 federal highway obligations, as well as the additional $26.7 billion available through the ARRA, will provide the foundations for growth in 2010. Although there are general concerns regarding state and local spending, states are expected to continue to provide matching funds for the traditional federal aid program investment and spend their ARRA funding.

“Despite the current economic environment and budget challenges, 38 states have increased the real value of their contract awards between January and October 2009 compared to the same time period in 2008,” Black noted. “The real value of contract awards for highways and bridges is nearly $50 billion so far, an increase of $5 billion and an important leading indicator for the 2010 construction season.”

Another indicator of work to come, she said,

Congress Lags on Highway Bill Extension

drag on the construction economy Here’ the deal: Though the Senate agreed with the House at the very last moment to a one-month extension of existing transportation funding authority, senators failed to include a provision to roll back funding rescissions stipulated in the last six-year bill. The $8.7 billion in rescission money was a bookkeeping method of understating the true cost of SAFETEA-LU, which was passed in 2005 (two years into the six years of its effective authority).

The sleight of hand was needed to help win legislative support. However the scheduled rescissions never were voided, as planned, and inadvertently became effective Oct. 1.

“For most states, it is not hard cash money, just promise money ” said

CEG CORRESPONDENT

When the U.S. Senate failed in September to enact six-year transportation legislation or to extend the existing funding authority in a responsible it created a billion-dollar-a-month hole for the construction industry “The baseline for the federal highway account is reduced by a billion dollars each month we have a continuing resolution,” said Tony Dorsey media spokesman of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). “It will cost our members one billion dollars every month we have a resolution.”

‘Start Us Up USA!’Rallies for Investment, Jobs in Ill. Start Us Up USA!, a nationwide grassroots campaign of the construction equipment industry and their allies, descended upon Chicago Oct. 20 with a rally of local business and labor leaders and construction workers calling on the federal government to move quickly on the reauthorization of a critical transportation bill.

New transportation funding is necessary to improve the nation’s infrastructure and spur a recovery of the construction equipment industry, especially in hard-hit states like Illinois. The rally was followed

by a caravan of construction equipment, idled by the lack of federal support, parading around Soldier Field to urge the federal government to stop job loss.

“The construction equipment industry is in a deep depression and we have lost 33,000 jobs in Illinois and 37 percent of our workforce nationwide the past few years,” said Toby Mack, president and CEO of the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED), based in Oak Brook, Ill.

For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski, Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, is resurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside of Chicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed, putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998, the work needed to be repeated, due to wear caused by heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road once again needs repair.

The current rehabilitation project involves resurfacing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km) stretch of freeway between Martin Luther King Drive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patching, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation and exit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including the Stony Island Feeder Ramp.

Montemayor Tests Out New Hybrid on I-294Job

By Peter Suanlarm CEG ASSOCIATE EDITOR

The expansive Illinois Tollway’s reconstruction, rehabilitation and widening project is part of the $6.3 billion Congestion-Relief Program.

By the end of 2009, the Illinois Tollway will complete nearly $3 billion in work to reconstruct/rehabilitate and widen about 120 mi. (193 km) of roadway across the 286-mi. system.

However, one segment of the 286 mi. see TOLLWAY page 46

The inaugural Midwest Construction Expo will be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center on Thursday and Friday, March 18 and 19, 2010. Show hours are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days, and admission is free.

More than 100 exhibits are planned, featuring the latest makes and models of construction equipment, as well as trucks, trailers, attachments, contractor supplies and all the ancillary products and services, such as finance, bonding, insurance, and more.

Several of the area’s top equipment dealers have already committed to the show, including Ziegler Cat, Lano Equipment, St. Joseph Equipment, Road Machinery & Supplies, RDO and Trenchers Plus.

In addition to the exhibits the show will be an outstanding educational opportunity for attendees. Many of the industry’s leading associations are working closely with CEG Productions, the show’s producers, to develop programs that will help contractors do their jobs better, faster, safer and more efficiently.

Among the participating associations will be the Minneapolis Utility Contractors Association, the see EXPO page 50

Kentucky Digs Deep on $109M Tunnel Project

By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT

Sanitation District 1 (SD1) of Northern Kentucky broke ground in September on a 6-mi.-long (9.6 km) tunnel intended to convey sewage across western Boone County to a new treatment plant on the banks of the Ohio River. The gravity sewer project will route flow to a new 20 million gallon-per-day Western Regional Wastewater Reclamation Facility.

When completed, ultimate peak hourly flow can reach as high as 177 million gal. per day (gpd), with average daily flow expected to initially be more in the realm of 10 million gpd.

As Jeff Olsen, vice president of HDR Engineering and project manager of this job, explained, the project will provide relief for an overburdened collection and treatment system and can be used to store up to 14 million gallons of excess water after heavy rains.

“There’s a significant wet weather component” to this sanitary sewer, he explained, adding that it is designed to accommodate wet weather issues and alleviate the burden on the Dry Creek treatment plant in Kenton County.

Other benefits include relief to existing interceptor sewers, with added capacity for future growth; operational simplicity, requiring minimal maintesee TUNNEL page 26

Construction on the first half of a 5.5 mi. (8.8 km) stretch of roadway that will ease traffic issues for a future project was completed this fall in time for the Green Bay Packers football season.

There was potential to complete both halves of this Green Bay, Wis., area Department of Transportation project in one year, but there was no way to know what Mother Nature would dish out, and the possibility of major delays to weather could have made it difficult to finish the project in one year, so it was decided that the work would be separated into two seasons, explained Kristin Van Hout, project leader of construction engisee WSDOT page 56

Third-Generation Texas Firm Tackles Pipeline Project

Gorman-Phillips’ pipeline work consists of laying both gathering-system and mainline pipe as well as building compressor stations. The company owns numerous Komatsu excavators and dozers. “The best thing about Komatsu is reliability,” said President Todd Gorman. “Major problems are almost non-existent.”

Few families can claim the pipelining experience of the Gorman family of Perryton, Texas. From their home base in the panhandle of northwestern Texas, three generations of Gormans have been involved in building pipelines for almost 75 years.

H.V. Gorman traveled much of the country during the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s working for several major pipeline construction companies.

Eventually H.V. tired of being away from home, so in 1962, he and Floyd Phillips started their own pipeline contracting company, Gorman-Phillips Construction. A couple of years later, H.V. bought out Phillips, but retained the Gorman-Phillips name.

In 1976, H.V.’s son, Kenneth Gorman, became president.

He ran the company until his death in 1992, at which time his wife, Judith Ann, and son, Todd, took over. Today, Todd Gorman runs day-to-day operations as president of GormanPhillips and Judith Ann serves as CEO. “I’m extremely proud of the job that Todd’s done,” said Judith Ann. “We haven’t missed a beat. In fact, Todd has expanded our services and grown the business. That’s pretty impressive for a third-generation company that was already well-established.”

“I guess you could say pipeline construction is in our blood,” remarked Todd Gorman. “My dad had me out on jobs when I was 15. I always knew this was what I wanted

to do, so in 1983, I quit college after a couple of years and came back here to work. I’ve been here ever since.”

Gathering Systems, Mainline Construction Gorman-Phillips got its start by setting compressors and expanded into laying natural gas gathering-system pipe in the late ’70s and early ’80s. The company, which began doing mainline projects four or five years ago, has worked for most of the major oil and gas firms in the region, and many independents as well.

Today, it offers a complete list of pipeline construction and repair services.

“We lay gathering systems and mainlines using steel or plastic pipe from two-inch up to 24-in., and we still build compressor stations,” explained Todd Gorman. “A gathering-system pipeline may be as short as 500 feet and a mainline could be 100 miles or more and include all manner of river or road crossings.

“With our experience, we’re comfortable doing virtually any size or type of pipeline job.”

Gorman-Phillips does about 150 gathering-system pipelines and two or three mainlines per year. Their territory, which includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska, offers a full gamut of ground conditions — from soft sand to hard dirt and creek bottoms to solid rock.

“Laying pipeline is somewhat like building a highway,” said Gorman. “We deal with what’s there; follow the topography with its bends and turns and try to build a job that’s going to last a long time.”

A job last year in southeastern Oklahoma illustrates the challenges of pipeline work.

Gorman-Phillips laid about 60 mi. (96 km) of 16-in. (40 cm) line through countless hills, creeks and ponds, as well as both the Wichita and Canadian Rivers.

“I think we had 2,500 bends on that job,” Gorman recalled. “Almost every other joint was a bend. It was a rough job but we have what we believe are the best crews in the business and we enjoy challenging projects like that.”

Employees as “Difference-Makers” Gorman-Phillips currently has about 65 full-time employees. That figure swells to a couple of hundred when there’s lots of work.

“The 65 include our longtime superintendents and foremen, and we do our best to keep them on full time because they are key to our success,” acknowledged Gorman.

“The other hands are what I would call long-term/temporary. Although we’d like to keep them all on all the time, if we don’t have the work, we can’t afford to do that. But it’s gratifying that when we do get busy and need to hire again, see KIRBY page 27

Franklin Construction Adds Bobcat Iron to Its Fleet The recession hasn’t slowed Mark Wanke of Franklin Construction, San Antonio, Texas. The company recently closed on a construction contract that will keep its crews busy well into 2010.

In response to the growing demand, Mark Wanke is adding Bobcat compact equipment to his fleet.

Wanke has been in the construction business for more than 20 years and has extensive experience with operating Bobcat equipment. The company owns a Bobcat S330 skid steer loader and a variety of attachments. Rather than hire subcontractors or continue renting compact excavators, Wanke bought one of the first MSeries E32 excavators from Bobcat of San Antonio. He immediately put the machine to use to complete utility sleeving and drainage tasks on multifamily residential construction job sites.

When asked about some of the differences between other compact excavators and his new E32, this is what Wanke had to say.

“I noticed right away that the machine runs a lot smoother,” he said. He cited the following example of the improved digging performance.

“I worked on a project last year where we previously did some excavating, and I dug in the same area with the same general conditions.

We’re in a heavy drought right now, and the ground dries out and gets very hard. It’s almost like digging in rock when we don’t have any

moisture in the ground. I tried to dig 30 inches deep and the last six inches were really hard to get through and cut. It drained the machine. The E32 cut through it without any problem; it operated a lot smoother.”

Auto Idle Another benefit of the new E32 that stood out to Wanke was the auto-idle feature, which automatically idles the engine after four seconds.

“You don’t have to turn the throttle down because it automatically does it for you,” Wanke said. “Then, it goes right back into the power, where you had it set previously, once you start operating the equipment again.”

This saves fuel, lowers noise levels, and improves job site communication, according to Wanke.

Smoother Turns While Moving The new auto-shift feature on M-Series excavators was one more perk that Wanke recognized.

“When I’m moving in high speed, I don’t have to take it out of that mode to make a turn,” he said. “The excavator automatically downshifts … I don’t have to manually go into the low range.”

This story was reprinted with permission from Bobcat WorkSaver Magazine, Fall 2009 Issue.

The Bobcat E32 excavator has a dig depth of 10 ft. 3 in. (3.2 m) and a dump height of 11 ft. (3.3 m).

The Asphalt Institute Celebrates 90 Years

By John Davis and Nancy Griffin SPECIAL TO CEG

Founded in 1919, the Asphalt Institute (AI) is a U.S.-based association of international petroleum asphalt/bitumen producers, manufacturers, and affiliated businesses.

The Asphalt Institute’s mission is to promote the use, benefits, and quality performance of petroleum asphalt, through environmental, marketing, research, engineering and technical development, and through the resolution of issues affecting the industry.

“The history of the Asphalt Institute closely parallels the history of the asphalt industry,” said Pete Grass, AI president. “In its beginning, the Institute was the primary association spearheading the technical, educational and promotional programs for the industry.”

Ninety years later, the Institute celebrates this anniversary by bringing you a look at our past with an eye toward our future.

Getting Started The rapid growth of the automotive industry in the early 1900s brought about its own set of complexities, including the destruction of America’s existing dirt roads. There was no way to keep up with the maintenance of dirt roads. Engineers were faced with the challenge of building roads that would not turn to mud or dust.

By 1919, more and more refiners were producing asphalt. These producers began to recognize the need to form an association to promote their product to engineers and the public. In the spring of that year, J.R. Draney of the U.S. Asphalt Refining Company and W.W. McFarland of Warner-Quinlan invited a group of petroleum refiners and paving contractors to discuss forming an asphalt association. On May 16, 1919, in New York City, 11 companies founded the Asphalt Association, as the Asphalt Institute was originally named.

When World War I ended in 1919, use of the automobile was steadily rising, but roads

outside the city limits were frequently too muddy or dusty for travel. The cure for these roads included road oils and asphalt. States, counties and cities all needed technical information about how to properly apply road oils and asphalt. The Asphalt Association met this challenge by providing Construction Leaflets and “how to” information to states and local agencies.

Too Many Grades By 1920, there were a number of asphalt producers and asphalt grades. Specifications proliferated — there were 102 different asphalt penetration grades. One of the Association’s first major contributions was

(1910-25) Workers roll a road in Pike County, Pa., in the 1910s.

to help reduce the number of asphalt grades.

In 1922, the Asphalt Association worked with the Commerce Department to reduce the 102 different grades down to just 9.

Farm-to-Market Roads People had been talking about getting the farmer out of the mud for years, but a partnership between the Asphalt Association and the Farm Bureau was the first to actually do it. The muddy and dusty farm roads were stabilized by the use of local aggregates and cutback asphalt. Likewise, the technical work and investigative analysis of the Association during this time focused on research and promotion of a new type of liquid asphalt, Medium Curing (MC) cutback asphalt. MC was widely and effectively used in low cost road construction.

(1932-33) In the 1930s, the number of vehicles on the road and the demand for asphalt pavement increased dramatically. Here, Yant Construction Company performs an asphalt job using a Barber Greene portable asphalt plant to pick up untreated aggregate from windrows and depositing finished mixture in windrows for spreading and compaction.

Demand Grows In the 1930s, as the number of vehicles on the road and demand for asphalt pavements increased dramatically, so did the need for see AI page 18

asphalt emulsions. Together, these organizations created The Basic Emulsion Manual (MI-19). Additionally, they hosted workshops for training personnel, which allowed for an organized transition from cutbacks to asphalt emulsions.

technical information. The Asphalt Institute, as it was now known, supplied a steady stream of information about the proper uses of asphalt. Between 1930 and 1937, the Institute published 155 booklets and pamphlets explaining the numerous uses of asphalt. The Asphalt Pocket Reference for Highway Engineers, first published in the 20s, became the forerunner of MS-4: The Asphalt Handbook, which is still an industry standard today. The seventh edition of MS-4 is currently available at www.asphaltinstitute.org.

During World War II, Asphalt Institute engineers were quick to assist the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with training in asphalt construction and the proper maintenance of heavy-duty airfields. Following the war, as these engineers returned to work in agencies and state highway departments, they continued to rely on the Institute for advice and assistance on road and airfield planning.

The Turnpike Era The promotional efforts of the Asphalt Institute in the late 1940s helped to usher in the era of the turnpike, and the Maine Turnpike, constructed in 1947, was an important milestone.

Maine Turnpike design engineers had assumed that it would be built with concrete, but they were interested in the idea of using asphalt. They decided to ask for alternate bids of both concrete and asphalt. AI engineers recommended a mechanically stabilized base with a dense-graded asphalt surface. The alternate bids showed a large cost advantage by using asphalt—large enough that the Maine Highway Department chose asphalt for the entire length of their Turnpike.

In 1949, the New Jersey Turnpike yielded a similar success story. When the Turnpike Authority compared concrete and asphalt bids, asphalt presented a substantial savings of $5.5 million. AI engineers convinced even hardened concrete advocates that asphalt was the appropriate choice, and the Authority awarded every section of the 118mi. Turnpike to asphalt.

Oklahoma, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut and Florida quickly followed with toll roads and parkways built with asphalt. Many of the heroes of the turnpike era were Asphalt Institute engineers.

As well, in 1949, AI first published the Asphalt Institute Quarterly, its national magazine that later became known as Asphalt Magazine.

The Interstate System After World War II, full-scale automobile production resumed along with major levels of road maintenance and new highway con-

(1950-18) By 1950, vehicle registration in the United States exceeded 40 million cars and 8 million trucks. Many state highway departments used asphalt to pave their roads.

Here, workers pave Baldwin Hills Reservoir in Los Angeles, Calif., with 3 in. (7.62 cm) of hot mix asphalt.

struction. Massive resurfacing programs began but could barely keep up with postwar travel demands. By 1950, vehicle registration exceeded 40 million cars and 8 million trucks.

In 1956, President Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act and launched the Interstate System to create an infrastructure highway program unmatched anywhere in the world. Institute engineers responded quickly and arranged meetings with highway engineers to discuss the initial cost, life expectancy, maintenance, economy, and durability of asphalt pavements. As a result of these meetings, many state highway departments specified asphalt for their part of the Interstate System.

Additionally, the Institute’s board of directors strategized the best way to inform the traveling public of the advantages of asphalt pavement. Competition was fierce, and AI responded with a massive ad campaign for the Velvet Ride focusing on the smoothness of the asphalt surface. Those ads appeared in magazines and newspapers such as Engineering News Record, The Saturday Evening Post, Life, Good Housekeeping and The Wall Street Journal.

New Uses for Asphalt Building on the success of Interstate roadways, AI engineers encouraged full-depth asphalt street construction in scores of U.S. cities in the 1960s. The Institute also focused

efforts on other uses of asphalt. Seaport loading areas used asphalt to handle 30,000-lb. wheel-loads. Tennis courts, bicycle paths, racetracks, playgrounds and football fields were constructed with asphalt. And asphalt surfaces were ideal for speedway racetracks, allowing speeds in excess of 150 mi. per hour. With low cost, low maintenance, versatility, and a quick drying surface, asphalt was recognized as a useful material for recreational surfaces.

Recycling and Emulsions The Asphalt Institute turned its focus to environmental and regulatory concerns in the ’70s. With the help of V.P. Puzinauskas (AI Research Engineer) and Luke Corbett (Exxon Corporation Research Division), a viscosity grading system was developed to better measure asphalt characteristics.

Switching from penetration to viscosity grading allowed engineers to develop a more uniform method of measurement for better quality asphalt.

By the mid-70s, a national move to conserve energy and materials initiated a widespread interest in recycling of pavement materials. AI engineers promoted hot and cold recycling around the United States.

The Clean Air Act of 1977 lead to a reduction of the use of cutback asphalts, and engineers turned to the Asphalt Institute, FHWA, and the Asphalt Emulsion Manufacturers Association for help with information about

Superpave’s Champion The Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) was established by the U.S. Congress in 1987 to improve the performance and durability of roads. Superpave (Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements) was a $50 million product of the SHRP effort. The Superpave system incorporated performance-based asphalt materials characterization with the design environmental conditions to improve performance by controlling rutting, low temperature cracking and fatigue cracking.

The Federal Highway Administration contracted with the Asphalt Institute as the National Asphalt Training Center (NATC) for Superpave technology. The NATC developed and delivered weeklong training courses in Superpave binder and mix design technology.

In the 1990s, AI also promoted the benefits of new asphalt applications, including fish hatcheries, water reservoirs, landfill liners and caps, and environmental holding ponds.

Leading for the Future Today, the Asphalt Institute continues its role as a center of excellence for research, engineering and education in support of the asphalt industry. With an array of new publications and Asphalt Academy courses offered across North America, AI is a leading industry resource for technical information, training and research.

Working together with other national associations, international organizations and local agencies, AI continues to ensure that asphalt remains a long-lasting, high-quality, and environmentally sound material for the pavement of the future.

The Asphalt Institute is thriving with 93 member companies, said Ralph Shirts (ExxonMobil), 2009 Asphalt Institute Chairman.

“With a dedicated staff, strong membership base and support of the member companies in our committees, AI is well-positioned to serve the needs of its members and the industry for decades to come,” he said.

This is the first in a series of articles celebrating the Asphalt Institute’s 90 years of contributions to the asphalt industry.

Gorman-Phillips Calls on Kirby-Smith for Komatsu Iron KIRBY from page 10

most guys who’ve worked for us in the past come back to us. “Our employees are difference-makers and we believe they are what separates us from our competition,� he added. “Because of their talent, experience and dedication, we’re able to complete jobs faster than our competitors. That means we can submit lower bids and still make money. I’d say that’s our claim to fame — we do quality work and we do it fast.�

Lance Suitor is Gorman-Phillips’ general superintendent in charge of coordinating equipment and crews. Phil Burnett is construction superintendent responsible for mainline projects. Todd’s wife, Sheri Gorman, helps out in the office, assisting Office Manager Rhonda Murry. “Many of our top guys have been here for 20 to 30 years, or more,� noted Gorman. “Many are also second-generation.

Phil Burnett’s father, Ernest, worked for my grandfather back in the ’50s. Eddie Overton is one of my key superintendents and his son is now also a superintendent for us. We try to take good care of all of our people because they take good care of us.�

Reliable Equipment Beyond a talented and experienced work force, Gorman cites a topnotch equipment fleet, including many Komatsu machines, as a key factor in Gorman-Phillips’ success. “I bought my first Komatsu piece, a used PC300LC-6 track hoe, about seven or eight years ago. I admit, I bought that first one based largely on price — I thought it was a bargain.

Turns out it was. We still have that initial piece and use it regularly. That demonstrated to me the quality of Komatsu equipment.�

Today, Gorman-Phillips has six Komatsu hydraulic excavators (PC300s, PC220s and PC200s) and six Komatsu dozers (all D65s). “We’ve had really good experience with our Komatsus,� confirmed Gorman. “The best thing is their reliability. We rarely have to work on them other than regular maintenance and wear items. Major problems are almost nonexistent. “I believe the D65 is the best dozer on the market,� he added. “It’s stronger and quicker than the top competitor, plus we get a much longer life from the track and undercarriage.

Fuel consumption and ease of operation are also pluses for the D65.� “We like the Komatsu excavators for their speed, power and versatility,� noted Superintendent Phil Burnett. “The 300s are strong enough to dig out hard rock while the 200s are extremely quick. We had a brand-new competitive excavator comparable in size to the PC300. It’s one of the bestknown brands out there and still had the plastic on the seat, but all my operators would walk by it and go to the PC300, which was quite a bit older. They preferred the Komatsu because it was so much faster, they could get a lot more work done with it.� “We’ve worked with Kirby-Smith for many years and are very pleased they are now the Komatsu dealer here in north Texas,� said Gorman. “My dad used to rent equipment from Ed Kirby when he had work in Oklahoma. They have a large inventory and excellent service. I’m really happy to see them in Amarillo now because it’s two hours closer than Oklahoma City.�

Continued Growth the Goal As in much of the construction economy, things are slow right now for Gorman-Phillips, but as Todd points out, it’s not like the company hasn’t seen downturns before. “Energy is a cyclical, boom-or-bust type of industry. At Gorman-Phillips, we’ve ridden the highs and survived the lows. We’ve always been a conservative company and we’ll continue to operate that way, but down the road, I want us to grow. I’m certainly not satisfied yet. I’d like to see us do more and larger mainline projects. There’s a lot more big pipe to be put in the ground and we want to be involved in putting it there.�

Gorman said he thinks growth is possible because of the reputation Gorman-Phillips has earned through the years. “We’ve been around for a long time. People in the industry know who we are and know we deliver for our clients.

Our goal on every job is to put pipe in the ground faster than the other guys. As long as we continue to provide our clients with industry-leading quality and consistently beat their schedules, we’re optimistic that we’ll be in demand when the market for natural gas turns back up.�

Waterfront Seawall Design to Create ARTBA: Highway, New Habitat, Public Space in Seattle Bridge Work Should SEAWALL from page 1

advice for the more than 100 consultants and contractors who have sought information on the project from the city: “be cutting edge.” He said to reconnect downtown with the waterfront, the new wall must be very different than the vertical one that exists today.

SDOT put out a request for qualifications from seawall design teams in November. The deadline to submit has been extended three weeks to Jan. 8, according to Powers, because there have been a lot of questions from consultants. He said the extension allows city officials to respond to those inquiries and say more about the qualities the city is seeking in a team.

Powers and Bob Chandler, SDOT’s program manager for the Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall replacement program, said different teams may be hired for different stretches of the seawall. Teams likely will include waterfront planners, marine biologists, architects, urban planners, engineers and community outreach specialists.

“We really want to come at this a little differently than just an engineering job,” Chandler said.

Construction bids will be sought when design is complete.

Test construction could begin in 2012, but the bulk of the work is expected to start in 2013 and last three years, with substantial completion in 2015, according to Chandler. In late 2015 or 2016, the city will begin a projected $123 million project to create public space along the waterfront.

The seawall was built between 1916 and 1936. Some areas along the wall are shallow while others are deep. Powers said the new seawall must respond to different conditions along the shoreline.

The winning team will come up with science-based plans that create new habitat while allowing the public “to really experience the waters of Puget Sound,” Powers said.

These kinds of ideas were floated six years ago when Allied Arts, a Seattle group focused in part on urban design, hosted some charettes in anticipation of the viaduct and seawall being replaced. More than 100 designers and planners came up with myriad ideas, including “habitat islands,” that would bring pedestrians to Elliott Bay. “There’s a huge amount of excitement in the design community about the possibilities for the waterfront,” an Allied Arts representative said at the time. “People see this as a way of reconnecting us to a part of our history and future. We have

this opportunity to create a new space for people and to create a front porch for the city.”

The seawall is a vital piece of Seattle’s infrastructure and replacing it is complicated. It was built to support rail and road access to shipping piers. Downtown developed with the wall in place and still relies on it. The wall supports and protects the Union Pacific and BNSF rail lines, as well as major utilities and the viaduct.

The wall consists of un-reinforced concrete sections along the central waterfront. Between each section are timber-supported concrete sidewalks. Despite its importance, the wall was built on loose soils and the design did not account for earthquakes. And there’s another problem: marine organisms called gribbles and toredos are eating away at the timber platform, increasing the wall’s vulnerability to an earthquake.

In addition to keeping the supports in place during construction, crews must be aware of some timing issues. Due to environmental constraints, in-water work can’t be done during the February-to-June fish window. And, due to commercial concerns, work along the promenade needs to be limited during the summer tourist season.

“It doesn’t make it easy, but we think we can work through this,” Chandler said.

Another issue is what materials to use for the new wall.

SDOT and the University of Washington are conducting research. Habitat test panels were installed in 2008 to determine what shapes and textures best serve the marine habitat.

In addition to the panel installation, “troughs” that extend out from the face of the seawall were created. The intent is to mimic shallow water habitats that have largely been lost along the Seattle shoreline. The UW is sampling marine life to measure the effectiveness of the panels and troughs.

“Each section [of the new seawall] is likely to be different,” said Powers. “It’s much more than just concrete and steel that we’re going to be looking at.”

The Washington-to-Pine seawall is one portion of the work. Other parts of the seawall also will need to be replaced, and Chandler thinks that could cost $200 million. It’s unclear when that work will occur.

Powers said the city needs to get the seawall along the waterfront done first because it is vulnerable in an earthquake.

“We need to move forward with that to provide for the safety of the citizens of Seattle.”

Reach $90.5B in ’10 MARKET from page 1

is the high level of obligations for ARRA funding — more than 77 percent of stimulus funds have been obligated, but only $4 billion, or 16 percent of the total funding available has been paid to contractors.

“When you add it all up, there is a lot of work to be completed in the coming year,” Black said.

Although the forecast for 2010 is market growth, ARTBA cautioned it does not mean that highway and bridge contractors and suppliers will avoid struggling in the current economic environment or that the growth will be even across states. There will still be issues with access to credit, fierce competition and the general economy.

Contractors and state transportation departments also are expected to be cautious in hiring and spending decisions while waiting for Congress to pass a new federal surface transportation bill.

The longer term real market outlook will depend on the U.S. economy and the federal-aid program.

“The best scenario would be a strong reauthorization of the federal highway and transit program and real economic growth that can help spur state and local investment,” Black said. “Under this ideal situation, we could see real market growth approaching $118 billion in 2015.”

The ARTBAforecast also addressed other transportation modes.

• Airport Runways: The ARRA will help push up the value of airport runway work to $5.2 billion in 2010, a 3.4 percent over 2009. With the reauthorization of the federal aviation programs remaining stalled, Black predicts the airport construction market will decline in 2011 and beyond without increased federal investment in the Airport Improvement Program.

• Railroads & Transit: Increased investment in new starts over the last few years is beginning to pay off for the subway, light rail and railroad construction market. The value of construction work should hit $13 billion in 2010, a 3.1 percent increase over 2009 levels.

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a tough time getting his equipment working again to help in the clean-up. But he never expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner, it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

ODOTHits Stage 3 of Viaduct Replacement Project in Ore. VIADUCT from page 1

“That got covered over with miscellaneous dirt fill, and that’s what they came through in the 30s and drove piling through,” said John D. Smith, the Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) assistant project manager of the viaduct replacement project.

That worked fine for the amount of traffic in the 30s, but the design couldn’t handle the coming years’ increase in frequency, size and weight of vehicles. The viaduct, which serves southbound traffic on Highway 99E, a major shipping and commuter route, began to settle.

About ten years ago, a distinct dip in the bridge developed where a bent had settled 6 to 7-in. (15 to 17 cm). Truck traffic was detoured around the structure and ODOT started making plans to replace it and a 1965 sister structure that carries 99E’s northbound traffic.

The design process was drawn out, for a couple of reasons. Because the city of Portland plans to take ownership of the new bridge when it is completed, the city government has been involved with the design.

In addition, the bridge is designated as a “lifeline structure,” meaning that it must be designed to survive disasters, specifically high-magnitude earthquakes, so that emer-

gency vehicles and suppliers can travel the highway as they respond to the crisis. The criteria required to plan for that contingency kept changing, affecting the in-progress bridge design.

Other challenges include the fact that the construction site is restricted to a very confined area; in some places, construction is happening less than 5 ft. (1.5 m) away from existing buildings. Concerned about impacting local businesses, officials opted not to purchase and demolish nearby buildings to

To account for the tight quarters, combined with the fact that ODOT was required to maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction at all times during the construction process, the project was “sliced and diced” into six stages.

accommodate construction.

To account for the tight quarters, combined with the fact that ODOT was required to maintain two lanes of traffic in each direction at all times during the construction process, the project was “sliced and diced,” as Smith puts it, into six stages.

“We’re in Stage 3 now, which involves a lot of moving traffic around and whatnot to build bridges,” said Tobin Smith, project manager of the contractor, Max J. Kuney Co. of Spokane, Wash. “There are two temporary bridges we had to build that traffic is running on right now.”

Tobin Smith said that there’s “a little of everything” going on now at the site, from pouring facing for MSE walls to driving piles, from pouring columns to forming up cross beams. The contractor has an office staff of seven stationed in Portland, plus Smith and an assistant, as well as crews ranging from 35 to 50 people.

Max J. Kuney Co. started onsite March 2007. The first two stages took more than two years to complete; work on Stage 3 began July of this year and should run through May. Originally, the entire project was scheduled for completion in May 2010, but unexpected soil conditions called for a design change that added months to the timeline. The current completion date is April 2011, with some landscaping work carrying over for some months after that.

When it is finished, the $75-million project will have entirely replaced both the MLK and Grand Avenue viaducts with new structures boasting sidewalks, wider shoulders and medians, as well as improvements to pedestrian ramps. The overall footprint will remain mostly the same.

At this stage, crews have torn down the old northbound bridge, the one built in 1965, and are currently building the new northbound structure. For now, northbound traffic is directed along the newly built structure that will carry southbound traffic in the permanent configuration. Presently, southbound traffic is using a temporary structure.

In addition to 100- and 140-ton (91 and 127 t) cranes, Max J. Kuney Co. is using five hydro cranes in the 40- to 50-ton (36 to 45 t) range on the project, primarily Link-Belt.

The contractor is employing more hydro cranes than normal because of the tight quarters. “We needed something more mobile” than lattice cranes, said Tobin Smith.

While work proceeds on the job site, John Smith is in communication with both the city of Portland and TriMet, the region’s transit service. Within the next couple of years, both organizations are starting projects that will overlap the site of the viaduct replacement project. John Smith said: “We’ve been coordinating…so we don’t build something and they come in a year after we’re done and tear it out.”

“I pay taxes too and I hate to see my money thrown away,” he added.

Cashman Supplies Cat Backhoes to Install Huge Pipes

Excavators and trenchers are hard at work at Reliant Construction’s job site.

Two Cat backhoes from Cashman flank the huge pipes waiting to be installed.

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and equipment aficionados could certainly call Reliant Construction’s projects a sight to behold.

Reliant’s underground utilities installation project for Freeman Decorating (just to the east of the intersection of Rainbow Boulevard and Sunset Road) features three Caterpillar excavators, two Cat backhoe loaders, a 938 wheel loader, two large water trucks, and an 1175XHD Tesmec chainsaw. The noisy, active job site is a beautiful sight, indicative of a busy company.

All this activity is the product of three years hard work and positive energy generated by Larry Elliot, Rob Boit, and Mike Zetz. This hard-working trio came together in 2006 and combined their desire to call their own shots, mixed it with 85 years of cumulative experience, and created the successful southern Nevada wet/dry underground utilities and site preparation company called Reliant Construction LLC. Launching a new business during a booming construction period in Vegas, Reliant has spent the past three years laying underground utilities like sewer pipes, storm drains and water mains of all sizes. From modest jobs like Raising Cane’s fast-food restaurants and Famous Dave’s barbeque to expansive jobs for Southwest Gas and Cox Cable, Reliant is weathering the economic downturn with relative ease and predicts it will have more than enough work to keep its fleet busy. Running eight to ten projects at once keeps this company with 25 employees on a rigid schedule, with little room for unreliable machines.

Quality, dependable equipment has been a major reason behind Reliant’s unabated enthusiasm for Caterpillar products from Cashman Equipment.

“Cashman’s a one-stop shop for us,” stated Boit. “Whether we are renting or buying, they’ve got it.”

Reliant purchased a core group of machines (backhoe loaders, water trucks, and attachments) from Cashman and supplements each individual job with the appropriate rental equipment. While the work site requirements change, the presence of a certain distinctive logo rarely does.

“If [a machine] is on our site and it’s not Caterpillar, it means Cat doesn’t make one,” Zetz jokingly said.

While Zetz made light of the amount of yellow iron on their job sites, Elliot was more serious about explaining why they’ve spent three years purchasing and renting mostly Caterpillar equipment.

“It’s not about the name on the side of the machine for me,” Elliot said. “It’s the fact that everything works exactly the way it should, and things get done.”

That productivity has been extremely important on one of the company’s largest projects, new corporate office/warehouse for Freeman Decorating. The underground work for Freeman, a tradeshow staging company, began in January 2009 and progressed steadily toward the October 2009 completion date, despite the challenge of working in white caliche.

White caliche, generally bemoaned as Nevada’s hardest ground to excavate, is prevalent on the Freeman job site. Fortunately for the Reliant crew, the 1175XHD Tesmec trencher came equipped with a 14-ft. (4.2 m) chainsaw with a staggered pattern of 3 and 2.5 in. (7.6 and 6.3 cm) steel carbide teeth.

The alternating teeth height gave the chainsaw greater impact force, so more caliche could be fractured, pulled into the trencher, and deposited off to the side. Putting in water lines 5 ft. (1.5 m) deep and sewer pipes 14 ft. deep was relatively easy using this machine, with operators cutting approximately 500ft. (152 m) trench sections each day. However, the 54-in. (137 cm) wide concrete storm drain was a different story.

“There isn’t a chainsaw wide enough to make a 54-in. cut to the depth needed,” explained Seth Hendrickson, Cashman Equipment rental representative.

“They have to make more than one pass to get the width required.”

To be specific, Reliant made two passes with the 1175XHD and then used a Cat 330C excavator with a bucket attachment to scoop out the remaining material. After another excavator lowers the pipe in place, a water truck saturates the bottom of the trench, a backhoe fills in the trench with dirt, and finally an excavator with a compaction wheel attachment compacts the area.

Every piece of equipment has a significant role to play in the installation of underground utilities. And that leads to a busy jobsite that is beautifully productive.

SSC Celebrates 40th Anniversary With Event in Arizona

Michelle Walker (L), vice president finance, poses with Marcia Veidmark, owner.

(L-R) are Samuel Ariaratnam, Arvid Veidmark III, Aaron Veidmark, Marcia Veidmark, Michelle Walker and Abe Veidmark.

Co-owner Aaron Veidmark speaks at the employee recognition part of the event.

Specialized Services Company (SSC) officially opened its newly remodeled and expanded facility during a special 40th anniversary event.

The day-long celebration began with an early morning employee recognition program, in which amongst many recognitions, Michelle Walker, who has been with SSC 11 years, was announced vice president of finance and administration. Arvid Veidmark III, co-owner and EVP, shared his recent Ruben Orona Safety Ambassador Of the Year Award with employees. Shortly thereafter, SSC hosted an open house for customers, associates, employees and their families. The day ended with a special dinner presentation, acknowledging family and associates that have helped make

the company a success.

A highlight of the 40th anniversary celebration, was a ribbon cutting ceremony presided over by Samuel Ariaratnam, associate professor in the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University. In addition Ariaratnam also presented attendees with his professional insight on the state of the trenchless construction industry.

More than 150 special guests were in attendance throughout the day, touring the facility, learning about the company’s unique family history, and enjoying the food.

The event also recognized SSC’s long history and its commitment to customer service. In addition to celebrating the past, this was an opportunity for SSC to express its appreci-

ation for all who contributed to its success, and to share its vision for a future piloted by the next generation of owners.

SSC was founded in 1969 by Arvid Veidmark Jr., wife Marcia, and family. Although some of the faces have changed, Veidmark’s vision to provide a valuable service to the community is still intact.

SSC provides turnkey trenchless boring and tunneling services as well as subsurface utility engineering for clients worldwide. SSC headquarters are located at 2001 W. North Lane, Phoenix, Ariz. 85021.

Ditch Witch’s RT45 Trencher Includes Vibratory Plow The Ditch Witch organization released a new ride-on trencher, the RT45, an upgrade of the company’s RT40.

Some of the advancements of the new RT45 include a Tier IVi-compliant engine, improved air filtration, and new, easy-to-read gauges in the operator’s station. Like the RT40, the new RT45 offers a choice of attachments, including a centerline or dual-position trencher, vibratory plow, rotary saw, combination trencher/plow and backhoe.

The new, emissions-compliant engine is quiet, so the RT45 can be operated in noise-sensitive urban areas. The quiet engine also means greater operator comfort, a traditional design objective of Ditch Witch engineers. Other operator-friendly features of the RT45 include a roomy operator’s station, easy-to-read gauges, intuitive controls, easily accessible service points, and an engine exhaust pipe that diverts hot air and noise away from the operator.

But trencher performance is the signature of the new RT45, according to the manufacturer.

Its powerful engine has more than enough power to get maximum productivity out of each attachment. For high-vibration applications, the RT45 can be equipped with an optional heavyduty engine mount.

For more information, call 800/654-6481 or visit www.ditchwitch.com.

The RT45 offers a choice of attachments, including a centerline or dual-position trencher, vibratory plow, rotary saw, combination trencher/plow and backhoe.

Jerry (L) and Mike Compton of Compton Utility in Tyler, Texas, said they may have to have this Hitachi EX450LC excavator for their fleet of equipment.

itchie Bros. Auctioneers sold a record 4,000 items during the unreserved public auction at its Fort Worth auction site Dec. 2 and 3, including almost 1,200 frac tanks for the oil and gas industry. The auction generated $45 million in gross auction proceeds and attracted more than 2,700 unique onsite and online bidders from 42 countries, including 49 U.S. states. Bidders from as far away as Korea, the U.K. and Nigeria purchased equipment in the auction.

“Our final 2009 auction in Fort Worth was a tremendous success: we sold a record number of items for this site, attracted thousands of bidders from around the world, and generated excellent returns for our consignors,” said Kieran Holm, Ritchie Bros. area manager. “The frac tanks, which are designed for the domestic market, created a lot of interest and brought in bidders from across the U.S. Bidding remained active for all 1,200 frac tanks and pricing stayed strong. In fact, pricing was stronger than we’ve seen all year in most equipment categories.”

Kenny Lewis, owner of Georgetown, Texas-based KC Equipment and a long-time Ritchie Bros. customer, sold a selection of late model equipment in the auction.

“I’m really happy with the results of the auction; the prices we achieved surpassed my expectations,” said Lewis. “This equipment was sitting idle and we were still making payments to the bank, so it made sense to sell. I chose Ritchie Bros. for two reasons: I have a lot of confidence in them and trust what they tell me, and I know they’ll get me the best results. Their global reach is key. Most selling channels are limited to the local region, but Ritchie Bros. brings in those international buyers, which is really important in this economy.”

David Barthold, Barthold Farms Inc. in Valley View, Texas, plans on taking this Reynolds 12C pull-behind scraper to build terraces on his farm.

Ken McMillan an independent contractor in Crete, Neb., takes time for a photo op with this Kobelco SK 330LG excavator.
