Construction Employment Sets Records

day, according to a 2015 study. “That number has dropped from 120,000 per day during the recession,” said Laura Newborn, media relations manager with Washington State Department of Transportation, who said it’s down because the number of bus riders is up.

Construction employment in July climbed to the highest level since February 2009, while the number of unemployed workers with construction experience shrank to a 14-year low, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials cautioned that the diminishing pool of available qualified labor may be having an impact on the industry’s ability to meet growing demand. “It is encouraging to see construction employment rising again, but the industry could hire many more workers if they were available,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “The lack of experienced construction workers may be impeding the industry’s ability to start or complete new projects. The recent acceleration in construction spending may soon level off unless the sector can draw in more workers with the right skills.” Construction employment totaled 6.38 million in July, the most since February 2009, but the total rose by only 6,000 in July and by an average of only 7,200 per month over the past five months, Simonson noted. The number of unemployed workers who reported last working in construction totaled 474,000, the lowest amount since 2001. “The sector’s job gains in the past five months have been intermittent and relatively sluggish

Bertha Rests But Work Goes On By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT

Work on the new tunnel under Seattle’s waterfront is on hold while Seattle Tunnel Partners repair damage to “Bertha,” the world’s largestdiameter tunneling machine named after Bertha Knight Landes, the first woman elect-

ed mayor of a major American city (Seattle) in 1926. The tunnel is part of a large $3.1 billion project to replace the Alaskan Way Viaduct, the portion of State Route 99 that travels through downtown Seattle. SR 99 is one of two major north-south traffic corridors through the Emerald City, carrying 90,000 vehicles per

ASA Files Brief in Major Insurance Court Case The American Subcontractors Association, ASA of Texas, and other key construction industry organizations on July 31 filed an amici curiae brief in another major construction insurance coverage case that has percolated through the court system. The case involves the incorporation of a defective product into a refinery, but has widespread implications for contractors and subcontractors as to coverage for defective construc-

tion and installation of particular parts, products and equipment into construction projects. ASA, ASA of Texas, the Associated General Contractors of America, Texas Building Branch — AGC and ABC of Texas filed the brief in support of appellant U.S. Metals Inc., in U.S. Metals Inc. v. Liberty Mutual Group, 2014 WL 465892 (5th Cir. Sept. 19, 2014). “Whether AGC, TBB — AGC, ABC of

Texas and ASA members can depend on their commercial general liability insurance policies for coverage for the many risks they face is a matter of continuing and urgent interest to them,” Patrick J. Wielinski and René R. Pinson of Cokinos, Bosien & Young, Irving, Texas, wrote in the brief. In the underlying case, U.S. Metals, the insured, contracted to manufacture and supply see ASA page 14

Utah Approves Mine, With Stipulations SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Utah state officials have given the go-ahead for a tar sands mine under construction on the eastern flank of the state. They will, however, require the company to do water and air quality monitoring in a move environmentalists are calling a victory. Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining director John Baza said in late July that his decision addresses concerns raised by opposition while acknowledging that U.S. Oil Sands Inc., the Canadian company building the mine, has complied with regulations. Baza’s ruling comes nearly three weeks after he hosted a public hearing to listen to concerns from opponents and give the company a chance to explain a project under construction on a ridge top in the Book Cliffs area on the border of Uintah County more than 200 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. U.S. Oil Sands must now submit a plan for the monitoring by Nov. 1, Baza said. As long as the company does that, Baza said it will be cleared to move forward with plans to begin extracting oil sands later this year from a sparsely populated area that is home to many types of wildlife such as deer, beavers and bears. The company already had permission to begin mining under a previously approved plan, but it resubmitted a new proposal for an expanded operation. The company has invested nearly $100 million over a decade to get permits, buy equipment and develop a new technology. The company said its process is starkly different than the one used by the numerous operations in Canada, relying on a citrus solvent and plan that is more environmentally friend-

ly and leaves the earth less disturbed. U.S. Oil Sands CEO Cameron Todd said the company plans to comply with all the state’s requirements by coming up with a plan to do the monitoring required. “I’m glad everyone is happy,” said Todd, adding the decision is what they expected. Company officials have said previously there are no measurable quantities of water in the area and that they have gone beyond what is required to show the mine will have a minimal effect on the environment. Rob Dubuc, an attorney representing the Living Rivers environmental protection organization that has protested the project, called it a pleasant surprise that Baza heeded their warnings about water issues. The area is not only home to wildlife, it is used by hunters and outdoor recreationalists and is home to a few ranching families. “This is a big deal and it's a step in the right direction,” Dubuc said. “To expect DOGM [Division of Oil, Gas and Mining] to deny the permit is not realistic in this political environment. But at least they are doing the right thing by requiring the monitoring.” Dubuc said measuring effects on water and air quality could help prove whether the company or environmentalists are correct about possible contamination. Tar sands mines extract oil from minerals in the earth by digging relatively shallow pits, a process that costs more than pumping liquid oil.

TERP Charges on Non-Road Diesel Equipment to Drop 25 Percent in Texas New legislation from the 2015 84th Texas Legislative Session will reduce the Texas Emissions Reduction Plan (TERP) fees on the purchase or lease of non-road equipment, beginning Sept. 1, 2015. The TERP fee reduction will make buying and renting heavy equipment more affordable for all customers. In the past year, HOLT CAT, the Caterpillar equipment and engine dealer of south, central, north and northeast Texas, worked extensively with state legislators and other Texas Cat dealers to push legislation that will provide a 25 percent reduction in long-standing fees on the sale or lease of non-road equipment powered by diesel engines. This reduction will result in substantial savings for HOLT customers, ranging from approximately $250 to $2500, on a variety of models. “This positive change will provide even greater value to our customers

while sustaining an important program that protects air quality,” said Paul Hensley, senior vice president of finance and chief financial officer of HOLT CAT.

Since TERP was established in 2001, the Diesel Emissions Reduction Incentive (DERI) grant program has awarded more than $905 million to 9,580 projects — replacing or upgrading over 15,623 vehicles and heavy equipment. Through these legislative efforts, HOLT CAT also has worked with a diverse group of government, non-profit, and industry-based representatives to successfully advocate for an increase in TERP grant funds of $80 million for the upcoming biennium. Approximately $40 million of this increase will be added to the grant pool for diesel projects, which will make it easier for interested customers to receive grant awards as HOLT continues to assist them with TERP applications.

… the fee reduction will make buying and renting heavy equipment more affordable for all customers. Surcharges on heavy equipment provide funding for TERP, a nationally recognized grant program designed to accelerate fleet turnover, reduce diesel emissions, increase the use of alternative fuels for transportation, and improve air quality for all Texans.

Skanska Leads $3.95M Job…

Work Under Way on First Phase of Skyline Regional Park The Phoenix office of Skanska has started work on Phase One of the 8,675-acre Skyline Regional Park in Buckeye, Ariz. The $3.95 million project for the city of Buckeye includes roadway construction, park features including entry gate house, entry gate monument and gates, ramadas, rest rooms and a pedestrian/equestrian bridge across the Skyline Wash. The work consists of subgrade preparation, pipe and reinforced concrete box culverts, asphalt paving, new entry gate house and restrooms, curb, gutter and sidewalks, parking areas, decomposed granite roads and parking, landscaping, riprap, erosion control, park monument wall and sign, signing and striping, and other related incidental work. “From the beginning of this project the Skanska team has performed like seasoned professionals, committed to quality, reacting

quickly to every request for information, providing solid value engineering and dedicating themselves to completing this project on time,” said Christopher Williams, manager, construction and contracting division, of the city of Buckeye. “Each member of the Skanska team, from the top to the bottom, has impressed me and I look forward to working with them on many more projects for the city of Buckeye.” “This project will provide numerous amenities to Valley residents and visitors,” said Skanska’s Phoenix Civil Construction Division Manager Chris Halpin. “We appreciate the teamwork from the city of Buckeye and our partners in making Phase One happen.” The park features views from the top of its mountain ridges overlooking the valley floor toward downtown Phoenix and south

toward the Gila River. The park also will offer opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding and other passive recreation activities such as wildlife viewing and camping. New programs will be offered for families to enjoy, including stargazing, fitness hikes and informative programs on the many natural and cultural resources found in the park. In July 2013, Skanska, which is active in both the building and civil construction markets, announced it had moved its building operations to 4742 North 24th St. in Phoenix, just south of Camelback Road. Skanska’s civil construction unit, formerly located in Peoria, Ariz., has co-located with the building group at the 24th Street location.

New Report Reveals More Americans Rely on Toll Roads A new report released by the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA), the worldwide association for the owners and operators of toll facilities and the businesses that serve them, shows that as Americans take to the roads this summer they will more often choose toll roads to get them to their destinations than in year’s past. The new report, 2015 Report on Tolling in the U.S., reveals that the number of trips drivers have taken on tolls roads has increased 14 percent over the last four years, rising from 5 billion trips in 2011 to 5.7 billion in 2015. Additionally, the Federal Highway Administration shows a 9 percent increase in the miles of toll roads in the United States from 5,431 miles in 2011 to more than 5,932 miles as of 2013. “Our report shows drivers and policymakers alike are continuing to see the benefits of toll roads now located in 34 states throughout the country,” said Patrick D. Jones, executive director and CEO of IBTTA. “Throughout this summer’s driving season, more reliable trip times and overall improved mobility provided by well-maintained and welldesigned toll roads are providing drivers the premium benefits they seek.” New Technologies Increasing Mobility The report released by IBTTA also shows that Americans continue to embrace new technologies being developed by the tolling industry, including all-electronic tolling (AET). With AET there is no waiting in long lines, idling in traffic or throwing quarters in a basket. In fact, the findings show there are 37 million electronic

toll accounts across the United States This is an increase of 20 percent in the past five years. And for nearly every account, there are multiple drivers, doubling the number of drivers using all-electronic tolling regularly. Greater Safety and Lower Fatality Rates The report released also shows that the fatality rate on toll roads is about one-third (0.50) the rate of all U.S. roads (1.47 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled.) For example, the fatality rate on the Pennsylvania Turnpike is about one-fourth the fatality rate for all national roadways: 0.27 (PTC) versus a national rate of 1.12 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles over the past 5 years. Furthermore, when compared to all roadways within Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Turnpike has about one-fifth of the fatality rate. The fatality rate on all Pennsylvania roads over the last 5 years is 1.25 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles. One major reason for the improved safety on toll roads is because they are typically operated centrally on a 24-hour basis from modern operations centers linked to dedicated maintenance, emergency response and police personnel. In fact, more than $14 billion in capital investment was made over three years by the top 40 U.S. toll facilities. Fast Facts • 5.7 million trips per year on tolled roads and crossings in the United States. • Tolls roads have one-third the fatality rate compared to regular roads.

• More than $13 billion in toll revenues were collected in the United States in 2013. • More Americans embrace tolling once they have actually traveled on a toll road and experienced first-hand the greater safety and traffic flow. • Eighty-four percent of Americans feel tolls should be considered as a primary source of transportation revenue or on a project-by-project basis. (Source: HNTB Corporation Survey, 2010) The Top 10 U.S. Toll Agencies by Mileage 1. Oklahoma Turnpike Authority — 605 2. Florida Turnpike Enterprise — 594 3. New York State Thruway Authority — 570 4.

Kansas Turnpike Authority — 236 9. Indiana Toll Road (ITR) Concession Company LLC — 157 10. Maryland Transportation Authority — 146 In 2013, IBTTA launched Moving America Forward, a public awareness campaign that highlights the benefits of tolling to policymakers, the media, and other interested parties.

ASA Case Has ‘Widespread Implications’ ASA from page 1

350 weld neck flanges for installation in Exxon refineries. U.S. Metals, in turn, subcontracted the manufacture of the flanges to Maass. The flanges were installed and welded in place by a separate contractor to Exxon. One flange leaked during pressure testing and Exxon contended that all of them were improperly manufactured and removed and replaced them all. Exxon sought damages from U.S. Metals for the costs associated with investigating the flange defect, requiring replacement flanges, removing and replacing the defective flanges, and the loss of use of its refineries, as well as incidental and consequential damages for a total of $20 million. U.S. Metals eventually settled with Exxon for $6.3 million, and sought coverage from Liberty Mutual under its CGL policy. Liberty Mutual denied coverage based on the Your Product Exclusion, as well as the Impaired Property Exclusion. The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and the district court granted summary judgment in favor of Liberty Mutual. On appeal, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, applying Texas law, certified several questions to the Texas Supreme Court as to the applicability of the Impaired Property Exclusion, even though certification was apparently not sought by either party: 1. In the “your product” and “impaired property” exclusions, are the terms “physical injury” and/or “replacement” ambiguous? 2. If yes as to either, are the afore-

mentioned interpretations offered by the insured reasonable and thus, must be applied pursuant to Texas law? 3. If the above question 1 is answered in the negative as to “physical injury,” does “physical injury” occur to the third party’s product that is irreversibly attached to the insured’s product at the moment of incorporation of the insured’s defective product or does “physical injury” only occur to the third party’s product when there is an alteration in the color, shape, or appearance of the third party’s product due to the insured’s defective product that is irreversibly attached? 4. If the above question 1 is answered in the negative as to “replacement,” does “replacement” of the insured’s defective product irreversibly attached to a third party’s product include the removal or destruction of the third party’s product? In the brief, the amici curiae urged the court to answer “yes” to the first certified question, and in response to the second question adopted the arguments made by U.S. Metals that the ambiguity as to these policy terms must be resolved in favor of U.S. Metals. Regarding the third certified question, the amici curiae responded: “Regardless of the resolution of Certified Question No. 2, amici curiae urge the Court to determine that physical injury can take place at the time of incorporation of the insured’s defective product or work into other property in that there is an alteration in the color, shape or appearance of the other property due to the irreversible attachment to, or

incorporation of the insured’s product or work into it. The other property into which the defective product or work is incorporated is also physically injured when the defective work or product is repaired, removed or replaced and in the process the other work is damaged.” Finally, they responded that the court should answer “no” to the fourth certified question, based on the plain language of the policy. “The proposition that an insurer should not be obligated to pay claims that are outside the coverage of the policy it issued is not astounding,” the amici curiae wrote. “However, there is a tendency on the part of some insurers to deny claims that are more than arguably within the coverage of the policy. This is particularly true as to claims under commercial general liability [“CGL”] policies involving alleged defective products supplied by insured manufacturers and alleged defective workmanship performed by insured contractors. Despite the efforts of insureds to control the quality of their products or work, defects may occur, and insureds purchase CGL insurance policies to cover unintended property damage arising out of those circumstances.” ASA’s Subcontractors Legal Defense Fund financed the brief.

In July, Industry Sees Employment Rise JOBS from page 1

despite signs of accelerating demand for construction,” Simonson said. “The latest Census Bureau data show the amount of construction spending is rising at the fastest rate since 2006, and there are several indicators — such as the steady increase in hiring of architects and engineers — that suggest demand for construction will remain strong, but contractors may have difficulty finding enough workers to take on all those projects.” Overall construction employment rose by 6,000 from June to July, far below the monthly average of 19,250 between July 2014 and July 2015, Simonson noted. Meanwhile, employment at architectural and engineering services firms climbed by 3.6 percent since July 2014, suggesting that more workers are being hired to design future construction projects, the economist pointed out. Construction spending put in place — a measure of current industry activity — jumped 12 percent from June 2014 to June 2015, the Census Bureau reported on August 3.

Association officials said that a number of factors are contributing to the shrinking pool of available labor, including the fact that many aging workers are retiring, while other workers who lost their jobs during the downturn left the industry for other sectors. They added that the lack of high school-level programs that expose students to construction as a potential career path means few graduates are pursuing choosing to work in the industry. “We are doing many students a real disservice by not telling them about how they can make a good living working in construction,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer, noting that the association’s Workforce Development Plan calls for increasing the number of career and technical education programs nationwide. “The more options we give students, the more likely they are to succeed.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program Consists of 30 Distinct Projects BERTHA from page 1

The Alaskan Way The Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program is headed by the Washington State Department of Transportation in partnership with the Federal Highway Administration, King County, the City of Seattle and the Port of Seattle. Funding comes from state, federal and local sources, as well as the Port of Seattle and future tolls. The program is made up of 30 projects, with each jurisdiction responsible for management of its own projects, environmental work, design and construction. Two contracting methods are being utilized on the various projects to replace the viaduct: design-build and design-bid-build. Construction on the first project started in 2007, when crews stabilized four viaduct columns that settled as a result of an earthquake. Since then, 21 projects that are led or funded by the state have been completed, with several more in progress or set to break ground soon. The SR 99 tunnel is the largest project in the program. The Viaduct is a two-mile-long elevated double-deck road built in the 1950s. Damaged during the 2001 Nisqually 6.8 magnitude earthquake, it was stabilized and repaired by WSDOT, which imposed roadway restrictions for large vehicles. Simultaneously, WSDOT began considering alternative plans to replace the aging and vulnerable structure and implements quarterly inspections. For a decade, state and local agencies studied more than 90 plans. While the discussion continued, crews began to replace the Viaduct’s south end with surface road that features wider lanes and shoulders and an earthquake-resistant design in 2007. Foundations for the roadway are buried up to 260 ft. (79.25 m) deep — nearly half as tall as the nearby Space Needle — to reach beyond unstable soils and into sturdy ground. Crews demolished the southern mile of the Viaduct in 2011 and replaced it with roadway. Completed on budget and one year ahead of schedule, this new section of SR 99 connects to the remaining Viaduct along the waterfront to keep traffic moving during construction. “The Viaduct is two-plus miles; all of it was torn down but one mile and new roads were built.” While much of the double-deck bridge has been replaced with road, ultimately, the Viaduct will be replaced by the tunnel. The remaining portion of the Viaduct will be demolished after the SR 99 tunnel opens to traffic. “It’s at the end of its lifespan,” Newborn observes. “It’s seismically vulnerable and needs replacing,” said Newborn. A temporary bypass structure connects the south end replacement to the Viaduct, enabling SR 99 to remain open during tunnel construction. That became a critical component of the decision making. Can You Dig It? By 2009, a plan involving a bored tunnel became the leading proposition to replace the Viaduct, in part because it was the only alternative that would allow SR 99 to remain open during construction. “There is the least impact to traffic by boring,” Newborn said. “Other than some temporary closures, traffic is undisturbed.” Construction on the tunnel project began in 2011 after a

detailed environmental study and approval from the Federal Highway Administration. The SR 99 Tunnel Project is estimated to cost $2 billion. “The $2 billion includes other parts of the tunnel project that aren’t part of the contract,” said Newborn. A contract for $1.35 billion with Seattle Tunnel Partners includes design and build of the tunnel, boring the tunnel, building the double-deck highway inside the tunnel, building ramps for entrances and exits at the south and north portals and operations buildings on both ends that will house lighting, ventilation and other necessary systems. “Connections to the roads are a separate contract.” The tunnel will connect with a mile-long stretch of new highway near Seattle’s stadiums at the south end of the tunnel and Aurora Avenue North at the north end. WSDOT maintains a role as the project’s “owner” and will verify the quality of STP’s work and ensure compliance with the contract. Meet Bertha In order to tunnel a two-mile stretch under Seattle’s busy streets, a massive boring machine was required. Manufactured in Japan by Hitachi Zosen Corp., a firm that has built more than 1,300 tunneling machines, Bertha is the world’s largest-diameter tunneling machine at 57.5 ft. (17.5 m) Hitachi was selected as the SR 99 tunneling machine manufacturer ahead of three other American and international firms based on technical requirements, support capabilities, price and schedule. Bertha was specifically designed for the ground conditions beneath Seattle’s waterfront. “This area was built on tidal fill,” Newborn said. “There are different geological kinds of soil: glacial till (undisturbed soil), fill dirt, boulders and sand. The drill is designed to handle it.” There were no surprises, she added, due to extensive testing, boring and research. see BERTHA page 30

Minnich Manufacturing’s series of machine-mounted drills are now available with a number of features engineered to increase safety and productivity in dowelpin drilling applications, and are available in both hydraulic and pneumatic options. Primarily used for full-depth repair, or “patchwork,” Minnich Manufacturing offers excavator/backhoe/skid steer-mounted units that are ideal for horizontal patchwork jobs with a relatively long distance between the areas to be drilled. Apart from increased portability, the dowel pin drills also are a safe alternative for operators, eliminating fatigue by utilizing the carrier to transport the drill. Minnich’s pneumatic machine-mounted drills are powered by a compressor, mounted to the counter-weight of the carrier or in the bucket of a backhoe, offering a self-contained solution for patchwork jobs. Many patchwork jobs require the work to be done in high-traffic areas, which make it of the utmost importance to utilize a highly mobile carrier and drill combination. Available in either hydraulic or pneumatic versions, Minnich offers a number of different sizes of machine-mounted units to

accommodate any application: • A-2: pneumatic, two-drill unit, 1,250 lb. (567 kg) operating weight • A-3: pneumatic, three-drill unit, 1,500 lb. (680 kg) operating weight • A-4: pneumatic, four-drill unit, 1,750 lb. (794 kg) operating weight • A-5: pneumatic, five-drill unit, 2,000 lb.

Leading Edge Offers New Quick Change Coupler Alternative AlignAttach allows for attachment changes without the use or problems associated with quick couplers by simplifying the changing of attachments directly pinned to the machine.

The AlignAttach from Leading Edge Attachments Inc. is an excavator quick change coupler alternative. The device allows for attachment changes without the use or problems associated with quick couplers by simplifying the changing of attachments directly pinned to the machine, according to the manufacturer. Current quick change couplers add to the tip radius, decreasing breakout force. Couplers are heavy, decreasing lifting load and increasing fuel consumption, and they are expensive. Hydraulic couplers are even more expensive and require hydraulic kits that can introduce contaminants into the system. The AlignAttach allows the operator, without the use of a quick coupler, to unpin, change and re-pin a new attachment without pounding pins and pinching fingers. It helps to relieve the pressure on the pin joints, and helps to align the linkage bores for easy pin insertion and positioning. The AlignAttach is manufactured in the United States using high strength alloy steel. The price for a 20 ton (18 t) excavator model, such as a Cat 320 currently is $1,090 and it weighs about 50 lbs.

Seattle Eyes Waterfront Rivaling Sydney, Australia’s BERTHA from page 18

In 2013, Bertha was shipped to Seattle, where she was reassembled in an 80-ft. (24.4 m)-deep pit located west of the city’s stadiums. After a series of tests, she began boring on July 30 that year. The tunnel route begins on Alaskan Way South, south of South King Street, moving toward First Avenue near Yesler Way before turning north near Stewart Street and ending at Sixth Avenue North and Thomas Street. With an inside diameter of 52 ft. (15.8 m), the tunnel is big enough to support a doubledeck road inside. The bored portion of the tunnel will be 1.7 mi. (2.7 km) long. There is cut-and-cover tunnel construction on both ends, bringing the total length of the SR 99 tunnel to two miles. When completed, the tunnel will have two 11-ft. (3.3 m) travel lanes with an 8-ft. (2.4 m) safety shoulder and a 2-ft. (.6 m) shoulder in each direction to ensure there’s enough space for all vehicles and legal-size trucks. The machine’s cutterhead will chip away the ground as it rotates and then carry excavated soil back through the machine using a spiral screw conveyor. The machine will dig an average of 35 ft. (10.7 m) per day. Bertha will advance 6 ft. (1.8 m) at a time, shoving off the rim of each ring, until the next ring is installed. Approximately 850,000 cu. yd. (649,871 cu m) of soil will be removed during the project. A conveyor belt that will eventually reach 9,000 ft. (2,743 m) in length will move excavated soil from the front of the machine out of the tunnel to barges waiting at nearby Terminal 46. Clean tunnel spoils will be barged to CalPortland’s Mats reclamation facility at Port Ludlow, where they will help fill a gravel quarry, Newborn reports. The tunneling machine uses a laser as a reference as it moves forward through the earth. Projected from a fixed point behind the machine, the laser is received by a guidance system at the front of the machine that is precisely calibrated to the tunnel’s predetermined path. The guidance system is referenced by the machine’s operator to ensure the machine remains on course. The operator steers the machine by making slight adjustments with each push forward. Next, 10 precast 6.5-ft. (2 m)-long concrete liner segments weighing 3,800 lbs. (1,724 kg) (slightly less for the keystone segment) form a “ring” that is placed in the excavated tunnel behind the front end of the machine. Newborn estimates that nearly 14,500 are required to complete the tunnel. “One hundred fifty-eight rings have been installed so far.” “It’s challenging,” Newborn said of the work. Because of the proximity to Puget Sound, “dewatering is a requirement.” So is hundreds checking for ground movements as small as a fraction of an inch throughout

In this June 2015 photo, crews working for Seattle Tunnel Partners watch as a crane carefully lowers the SR 99 tunneling machine’s new inner seal ring into position on top of the cutterhead. The inner seal ring is part of a seal system that is designed to protect the machine’s new main bearing.

the downtown construction area with the aid of monitoring devices. Another challenge arose in December 2013: roughly 1,000 ft. into the tunnel drive, increased temperatures were recorded in the tunneling machine. Work stopped to allow for cleaning, replacing cutting tools on the machine’s cutterhead and re-starting the machine. However, the overheating persisted. An investigation into the cause revealed damage to the machine’s seal system and contamination within the main bearing. To access the machine for repair, STP built an 80-ft. (24.4 m) wide, 120-ft.(36.6 m) -deep access pit in front of the machine, which is located about 60 ft. (18 m) below the surface in a fenced off construction zone. Once the pit was complete, the machine tunneled forward into it. Hitachi Zosen hired Mammoet to build a super crane to lift the front end of the machine—the cutterhead and drive unit—out of the ground for repair. On March 30, 2015, STP safely placed the front end of the tunneling machine and three other pieces on the repair platform located just south of the access pit. Four major repairs and enhancements were planned: • Replacing the damaged seal system with a more robust system • Replacing the main bearing • Installing enhanced monitoring systems • Adding steel to strengthen the machine and accommodate the new seal system The machine was fully disassembled by May of 2015. Seattle Tunnel Partners reported to WSDOT that damage to the machine was more extensive than anticipated. Although, per contract, it is STP’s responsibility to repair the damaged machine, Newborn said, “The contractor is asking for

a change order to pay for repairs.” STP requested $125 million in additional compensation, but WSDOT denied the request after determining it had no contractual merit. The contract includes specific and lengthy measures for resolving disputes. WSDOT continues to believe the state or taxpayers will not be responsible for costs associated with tunneling machine repairs. Business as Usual Meanwhile, other work continues, such as building the cut-and-cover sections of the tunnel, building the operations buildings on both sides of the tunnel and construction of a portion of the double-deck road inside the tunnel. WSDOT reports that the north portal is taking shape near the Space Needle, including construction of the pit where the tunneling machine will emerge at the end of the job. Crews are also building the cut-andcover tunnel that will connect the bored section of the tunnel to SR 99/Aurora Avenue North. Crews at the south portal are continuing to work on the south portal operations building. Work is also focused on the south cut-andcover tunnel that will connect the new southend SR 99 roadway with the bored section of the tunnel. “They’re still making the concrete segments in Puyallup that form the tunnel,” Newborn added. At its peak, the viaduct program will sustain more than 3,900 jobs For the most part, SR 99 remains open during construction, except for inspection, maintenance and when the tunneling machine tunnels beneath the Viaduct, thanks in part to a construction bypass roadway that connects SR 99 to the Viaduct along the

waterfront. On budget, the project is “about two years behind schedule,” Newborn said, explaining that “STP controls the schedule.” Hoping it will be open to traffic in March 2018, she said, “The big test is when they put the borer in the ground and see how it functions. Nobody wants to see a delay.” Light at the End of the Tunnel When completed, the tunnel will change the way traffic uses SR 99 in Seattle. Drivers approaching the tunnel from either direction will face a choice depending on their destination: use the tunnel to bypass downtown or exit to city streets and head into downtown. At the tunnel’s north end, downtown access will be similar to today, with on- and off-ramps near Seattle Center. From the south, new on- and off-ramps will connect SR 99 to downtown via the new waterfront street. A new overpass at the south end of downtown allows traffic to bypass train blockages near Seattle’s busiest port terminal. Once the tunnel is operational, crews will demolish the Viaduct’s downtown waterfront section in preparation for street, transit and waterfront improvements planned by King County, City of Seattle and the Port of Seattle as part of the Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program. After the tunnel is open, WSDOT will permanently close the Battery Street Tunnel. WSDOT will then assist the city of Seattle in building a new Alaskan Way along the waterfront to connect SR 99 to downtown. “A new Alaskan Way will be built by city of Seattle,” Newborn said, “although WSDOT will be involved in the design, scope and financing.” WSDOT’s vision is to create a “worldclass waterfront on par with Sydney,” she continued. The tunnel and the new Alaskan Way are intended to be the cornerstone of the new waterfront. But not everyone is pleased about it. Seattle environmentalists oppose the $2 billion project, noting that public transit, which carries more than 24,000 riders a week on the old Viaduct, will be inconvenienced by having to navigate surface streets into downtown next year. WSDOT is working with businesses, residents and visitors to Pioneer Square to minimize inconvenience. A parking mitigation program features strategies to offset the impact of construction in the waterfront neighborhoods. As for Bertha, once her work on the tunnel is done, STP will most likely dismantle her, possibly reusing or salvaging some of her parts for other projects.

Kocurek: Raising Demolition to New Heights in U.S. Markets In 1979, David Kocurek and his mother, Rita, began refurbishing small mini-excavators and hiring them out. Little did the two know that their company would become a highly recognized innovator throughout the global demolition industry. Over the last 36 years, Kocurek Excavators LTD has quietly shaped the landscape of high reach technology by pioneering innovative features that are now staples today, such as the modular joint and the telescoping boom. Now that they have partnered with Company Wrench of Carroll, Ohio, for distribution in the North American market, the team has a plan in place to continue to grow and innovate. Brian Carroll, Kocurek’s general manager, explained that the company began in a rather small facility placed on a former farm on Poplar Lane, outside of Ipswich, England. Starting out by customizing backhoe booms and sticks, they found great success manufacturing custom long reach fronts. In 1994, the company moved out of Poplar Lane into a larger facility when it customized its first demolition front. It has moved three times since Poplar lane and is currently in a custom designed facility set up with a natural manufacturing flow, allowing it to maximize its production capabilities. In 1996, on the way home from a trade show, David Kocurek realized a need to maximize utilization of their client’s machines by being able to quickly change between high reach and standard excavator equipment. They immediately began work engineering the first modular joint. The principle of the modular joint is comprised of a basic hook system to pick up the required equipment and a power operated locking pin to secure the attachment to a stub boom prior to operation. Before this technology, it took up to 8 hours to assemble or disassemble a high reach for transportation due to having to install or disassemble the main boom pivot and boom cylinders. With a modular joint, a demolition crew can have the entire machine, with attachment, ready to work in 60 to 90 minutes while also offering the possibility of utilizing the machine in other phases of demolition by switching the high reach front to a standard sized boom tip and stick on site. Another benefit of the modular joint is the ability to split up the equipment to reduce transport weights on individ-

ual loads. The new Kocurek excavator customization gained major traction and two years later all major excavator manufacturers began to follow suit, offering this as an optional feature off the assembly line. While telescoping booms are all the rage in Europe, they are a still somewhat a rare sight in the United States. Many North American operators tend to prefer working with the more familiar two-piece high reach set-up. Europe and the U.K. have fully committed to learning the three-piece configuration and enjoy the additional heights afforded by Telescoping fronts. Kocurek Telescoping high reach machines can see pin heights of up to 209 ft. (63.7 m) and tool weight capacities of up to 7,700 lbs. (3,492 kg). With 3-piece fronts more than 130 ft.

(39.6 m) it would be impossible to safely lift the equipment and attachment from ground level into its working position without Kocurek’s telescoping technology, according to the company. Since the start, more than 800 high reach machine conversions have taken place and about 75 have been of the telescopic variety. Kocurek has wanted to enter the United States. The company had previously shipped equipment to the United States but never in bulk. Company Wrench, a well-known specialty equipment dealership that has made a name for itself customizing, selling and renting high reach and long reach machines, approached Kocurek in order to speed up its own high reach/long reach customization process. As a large Kobelco supplier with its

own engineering team and onsite fabrication facility, Company Wrench proved to be the perfect partner to bring Kocurek’s products to market. Currently, Company Wrench has added two-piece and three-piece high reach and long reach fronts to its Kobelco rental fleet. All models of Kocurek fronts will be available for sale in North America through Company Wrench. Its engineering and fabrication division, C.W. MachineWorx, will be offering full carrier customization services, including custom cab raising conversions, counterweight modification/fabrication, and machine front installation.

Atlas Copco Expands Range of EC Hydraulic Breakers Atlas Copco has expanded its essential case-mounted (EC) range of hydraulic breaker attachments by adding five small range breakers to the lineup that are small enough to fit in limited-access work environments, such as pipe trenches. The new breakers fit 1to 12-ton (.9 to 10.8 t) carriers and, like the full range of EC breakers, give rental centers and contractors a fast ROI by simplifying maintenance and operation, according to the manufacturer. The new small range breaker attachments — the EC 40 T, EC 50 T, EC 60 T, EC 70 T and EC 80 T — excel in day-to-day breaking tasks for small-scale construction and demolition applications. For example, a carrier operator can lower a small range EC breaker into a narrow trench to break apart oversize instead of digging a wider trench to fit a larger breaker. “These compact case-mounted breakers were developed for the construction and rental industries,” said Kevin Loomis, Atlas Copco construction tool business line manager. “And their simplicity makes them easy to use and quick to maintain, which results in high utilization rates for rental centers.” The EC breaker attachments feature Atlas Copco’s box-style mounting systems, which eliminate the need for removing external fasteners to access components, such as wear bushings and seals, for maintenance. The results are expedited turnaround times for maintenance, which boosts utilization rates. Operators can use the breakers in noise- and vibra-

tion-restricted work sites because of Atlas Copco’s VibroSilenced Plus systems. These systems isolate percussion mechanisms from breaker boxes with polyurethane damping and seal all attachment openings to minimize noise and vibrations. The breakers have service weights as low as 209 lbs. (95 kg) and generate impact rates as high as 1,600 bpm to deliver effective impact energy to the breaking surface. With their high power-to-weight ratios, they’re highly effective in demanding applications such as demolition, earthwork, quarrying and trenching, according to the manufacturer. Atlas Copco measures the power of its breakers using the Association of Equipment Manufacturers’ foot-pound rating. The rating, which was developed by the Mounted Breaker Manufacturers Bureau, makes it easy for rental centers and contractors to compare breaker models by reviewing true figures collected after a certified test procedure. EC breakers also ensure smooth operation through integrated features such as nitrogen-gas assist. The nitrogen piston accumulator works with the hydraulic oil to accelerate the piston, which decreases the hydraulic oil demand from the carrier’s hydraulic systems and delivers consistently high-impact energy. For more information, call 800/732-6762 or visit www.atlascopco.us. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Atlas Copco’s newest small range essential case-mounted (EC) breakers fit 1- to 12-ton (.9 to 10.8 t) carriers and are designed for easy handling and fast maintenance.

Montabert’s Evolution Hydraulic Breakers Provide Life Protection

The V1800 and V2500 feature a new heavy-duty housing that reflects the design of larger two-speed models, as well as the design of fully variable Montabert hydraulic breaker models. In addition, the hydraulic breakers’ fully enclosed heavy-duty cradles minimize ambient noise on the job site and protect working parts from dust and debris.

The Montabert V1800 and V2500 Evolution hydraulic breakers feature an automatic two-speed variation system — adjusting their impact energy and striking rate to deliver high energy per blow on hard ground and high frequency on soft ground — providing construction and demolition contractors, as well as aggregates producers, with increased productivity when processing homogeneous materials. The heavy-range hydraulic breakers have recently been redesigned to extend service life and reduce operating costs. The V1800 and V2500 feature a new heavy-duty housing that reflects the design of larger two-speed models, as well as the design of fully variable Montabert hydraulic breaker models. In addition, the hydraulic breakers’ fully enclosed heavy-duty cradles minimize ambient noise on the job site and protect working parts from dust and debris. The new V1800 and V2500 feature two steel bushings. Operators can easily replace the lower bushing in the field

without dismounting the breaker from the carrier. The two models also feature a modified lower suspension that extends the service life of the suspension system by reducing the wear on working parts. An optional soft-start feature is now available on the Montabert V1800 and V2500 hydraulic breakers. Equipped with the soft-start feature — installed before or after purchase — the hydraulic breaker delivers high frequency and low energy at the onset of operation. After a few seconds, the breaker resumes normal operation, delivering higher energy at a lower frequency. Ideal for activities such as rock splitting and oversize breaking, the soft-start feature minimizes blank firing effects by creating a niche in the material for better positioning and energy transfer — preserving the breaker’s tool retainers and front guide. Further, the operator can manually adjust the hydraulic breaker into high frequency and low energy mode when working on soft

ground. Standard features of the V1800 and V2500 include a blank-fire protection system that reduces harmful metal-tometal contact and an energy recovery system that recycles recoil energy from the piston to increase strike power. In addition, the hydraulic breakers’ upper and lower suspension extends the excavator’s work-group life by absorbing harmful vibrations, while an automatic cradle or excavator-mounted grease station delivers continuous grease flow — reducing bushing and tool wear. An optional air pressurization kit is available for underwater applications. Working tools available for the V1800 and V2500 include a general purpose moil, a blunt tool and a chisel.
