(30.5 km) stretch of road just north of Detroit has been transformed into an improvement project with a rather complicated strategy. Extensive work on the I-96/I-696 cor- ridor in Oakland and Macomb counties has been divided into four separate projects. Project 1 consists of rehabilitation of eight bridges and repair of 4 mi. (6.4 km) of pavement in Oakland County between Novi and Halsted roads, including the I-96/I-696/M-5 interchange in Novi and Farmington Hills. Project 2 picks up where the first project ends and involves pavement patching and rehabilita- tion of 42 bridges on I-696 in Oakland County between Halsted and Campbell-Hilton roads. Project 3 focuses on rehabilitating 22 bridges on I-696, 15 of which are located within the I- 696/Mound Road interchange. Project 4 includes rehabilitation of six bridges and extensive pavement repairs to I-696 between Hayes and Nieman roads in Macomb County. Also included are safety upgrades and lighting replacement on the median and ramps. Overlap For all practical purposes, the $67 million overall project has been divided into two con- tracts — east and west — with two prime con- tractors: Dan’s Excavating out of Grant, Mich., on the west contract and C.A. Hall on the east. But even that division is a little blurry. “There are overlapping facets,” says Bob Daavettila, construction director for Tetra Tech, particularly concerning the bridge work. A total of 56 bridges will undergo rehabilita- tion. Because C.A. Hall is a subcontractor for all bridge work on both contracts and since there’s a lot of bridge work in the west contract, Hall is doing considerable work on both. “Because they’re a major sub, it leads to a lot of coordination. Hall is at all the meetings for the Dan’s contract.” According to Daavettila, the two big con- tracts consist of a two-year project for $47 mil- lion to reconstruct pavement from Novi to Farmington Hills — the west project — and a $14 million contract to conduct bridge rehabili- tation and concrete patching on I-696 — the east project. The west contract involves significant amounts of overlay, but there is none on the east contract.

Southeast By Lori Lovely A series of torrential downpours in the Atlanta metro area in late September caused what U.S. Geological Survey experts deemed a 500-year flood, leaving 10 people dead and 20 counties in Georgia disaster areas. The rain also triggered extensive flooding throughout Georgia, Tennessee and Alabama. Flooding in Atlanta peaked on Sept. 21, after more than 20 in. of rain fell overnight. Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue quickly declared a state of emergency in 17 Georgia counties, clearing the way for the massive deployment of state personnel and equipment. President Barack Obama followed suit in similar rapid manner, issuing a Federal Disaster Declaration for individual assistance to aid residents of the 14 counties that were hardest hit: Carroll, Catoosa, Chattooga, Cherokee, Cobb, DeKalb, Douglas, Fulton, Gwinnett, Newton, Paulding, Rockdale, Stephens and Walker. The Georgia Emergency Management Agency coordinated the state’s recovery effort with local, state, federal and volunteer counter- parts. “Damage assessment teams are continuing to work with local authorities in all affected areas of the state to assess losses,” Georgia Emergency Management Agency Director Charley English told reporters in the days fol- lowing the flood. With reports of closed highways, roads, bridges, schools and businesses, and as many as 20,000 homes and other structures that have suf- fered major damage, Georgia Insurance Commissioner John Oxendine adjusted his ini- tial estimate of flood-related insurance claims, doubling the total to as much as $500 million. However, Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin, isn’t happy with even the revised numbers. She pre- dicted to presidential officials that damage will reach $1 billion, pointing out that repairing the R.M. Clayton sewage treatment plant on the Chattahoochee River could cost $100 million alone.

The same could be said for construction work, all contracting and the running of any successful club or organization. Cooperation in all these arenas came together as one at the Antique Truck Club of America’s Little Rhody Chapter’s Sixth Annual Antique Truck Show on Sept. 13 on the Washington County Fairgrounds in Richmond, R.I. Working in conjunction with the Historical Construction Equipment Association’s (HCEA) Northeast Rockbusters once again, more than 60 members of the local Antique Truck Club brought out their finest old equipment, to the delight and surprise of other members, guests and enthusi- asts. The Antique Truck Club and the Rockbusters hold this event every September, drawing people from every New England state. Machines that range from the unusual to the sublime fill the flat fields of the fairgrounds for passersby to “We combine our shows. We support them and they sup- port us, even in the rain,” said Jackie Volatile, who organiz- es these shows with her husband, Roger, the club’s president. What made the presidential couple so proud this year was that the event was organized to raise money and food for the Rhode Island Food Bank. We brought in 800 pounds of canned goods. Last year, we fed 2,000 needy families for a year and we are quite proud of that,” said Jackie Volatile. They also are very proud of the cooperation and shared interests of their members who bring any and all working antique machines to these events, as long as they are able. “We welcome classic trucks, we welcome tractors, any- thing that comes in,” added Roger Volatile. “Antique is antique to us.” The Volatiles represent the Little Rhody Chapter at nation- al events, usually held in the National Chapter’s home state of Pennsylvania. “There are 21 different chapters in the Antique Truck Lovers, NE Rockbusters Join for Sixth Annual Machine Show THE NEW ENGLAND SUPPLEMENT Your New England States Connection • John LaCamera 1-800-225-8448 • Kent Hogeboom 1-800-988-1203 October 14 2009 Vol. XXII • No. 21 “The Nation’s Best Read Construction Newspaper… Founded in 1957.” The Northeast Rockbusters sign adorns a 1934 McCormick Deering track tractor owned by Dave Burnham of Saunderstown, R.I., president of the group and one of the event’s chief organizers.

What made work on a 2-mi. (3.2 km) stretch of I-80 in Salt Lake City project extraordinary was the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) method using Self Propelled Modular Transports (SPMT) to construct six of 12 bridges and one of two ramps in the project. The $139 million project along a 2-mi. stretch from State Street to 1300 East through Salt Lake City includes construction of the bridges and ramp “not at their final location,” John Montoya, project manager, said. Instead, the girders and decks were constructed on the ground at a “bridge farm.” Massive transporters moved them to be lifted into place along the expressway. Horrocks Engineering and H.W. Lochner Engineering are the designers and Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction is the general contrac- tor. Some of the bridges were transported as much as a mile and a half which is “a good distance,” Montoya said. “That was significant. There are a fair amount of projects where you move a bridge a couple hundred feet but we actually moved some of them a mile and a half.” The bridges that were moved vary in length from 85 to 173 ft.

The SPMTs that moved the bridges had approximately 250 wheels and moved at an aver- age speed of five miles per hour, Sommers said.

In trucking, cooperation is everything. The same could besaid for construction work, all contracting and the running ofany successful club or organization.
Cooperation in all these arenas came together as one at theAntique Truck Club of America’s Little Rhody Chapter’sSixth Annual Antique Truck Show on Sept. 13 on theWashington County Fairgrounds in Richmond, R.I.Working in conjunction with the Historical ConstructionEquipment Association’s (HCEA) Northeast Rockbustersonce again, more than 60 members of the local AntiqueTruck Club brought out their finest old equipment, to thedelight and surprise of other members, guests and enthusi-asts.
The Antique Truck Club and the Rockbusters hold thisevent every September, drawing people from every NewEngland state. Machines that range from the unusual to thesublime fill the flat fields of the fairgrounds for passersby to
admire.“We combine our shows. We support them and they sup-
port us, even in the rain,” said Jackie Volatile, who organiz-es these shows with her husband, Roger, the club’s president.
What made the presidential couple so proud this year wasthat the event was organized to raise money and food for theRhode Island Food Bank.
We brought in 800 pounds of canned goods. Last year, wefed 2,000 needy families for a year and we are quite proud ofthat,” said Jackie Volatile.
They also are very proud of the cooperation and sharedinterests of their members who bring any and all workingantique machines to these events, as long as they are able.
“We welcome classic trucks, we welcome tractors, any-thing that comes in,” added Roger Volatile. “Antique isantique to us.”
The Volatiles represent the Little Rhody Chapter at nation-al events, usually held in the National Chapter’s home stateof Pennsylvania. “There are 21 different chapters in the

After many years of discussion, an ambitiousproject to ease congestion in Pennsylvania’sdensely populated Bucks and Montgomery coun-ties is finally under way withconstruction of a long-awaitedparkway.
The PennsylvaniaDepartment of Transportation(PennDOT) has estimated thatby 2020 the new highway willbe traveled by between 23,700and 28,300 vehicles daily
Certain changes, however,had to be made before groundcould be broken for the project.
According to PennDOT, theparkway had initially beenplanned as an expressway withlimited access. However, inMarch 2004, the departmentrealized its projected revenueswould not provide enoughfunding for all its proposed
projects and this particular job was among thosere-evaluated. As a result, a parkway was ultimate-ly chosen as an appropriate solution for improvingtravel conditions in the area while remaining with-in the limitations imposed by available funds.

Health care reform in the United Stateshas been beaten nearly to death this year byadvocates and critics alike. Yet as thedebate moves into October, the final shapeof “reform” remains elusive and elasticwith construction industry executives anx-ious about its impact on their companies.
Any change in the system definitely willhave impact on contractors and a sweepingchange could upend smaller firms — andmost construction companies are small-to-medium-sized. The truth of the matter isthe reform model in which governmentwould provide most health care serviceswould dramatically change the way everybusiness operates, large or small.
It is impractical to hope that health carereform will be tailored to the constructionindustry. Nevertheless, small businessesconsistently favor certain reform initiativesover others. Were Washington to institutereform along the lines general contractorsmight lay down, the following featureswould be among the legislated changes:
• New authority for associations tonegotiate insurance packages for theirmembers. Besides gaining clout in negoti-ating benefits, association insurance nego-tiators could win lower premiums, if giventhe opportunity. Associated Builders andContractors noted that private insurancecarriers must mark up premiums as muchas 35 percent when dealing with smallgroups in order to meet profit targets andoffset overhead. Whereas associations canprovide the same administrative servicesfor their members at a cost of 15 percent orless — if, that is, members are allowed tobuy insurance through small businesshealth plan pools.

Work on a Utah freeway reconstruction projectso unusual it was featured as NationalGeographic Channel’s “World’s Toughest Fixes”is heading for an on-time, on-budget completionat the end of the year.
What made work on a 2-mi. (3.2 km) stretchof I-80 in Salt Lake City project extraordinarywas the Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC)method using Self Propelled Modular Transports(SPMT) to construct six of 12 bridges and one oftwo ramps in the project.
The $139 million project along a 2-mi. stretchfrom State Street to 1300 East through Salt LakeCity includes construction of the bridges andramp “not at their final location,” John Montoya,project manager, said. Instead, the girders anddecks were constructed on the ground at a “bridgefarm.” Massive transporters moved them to belifted into place along the expressway.
Horrocks Engineering and H.W. LochnerEngineering are the designers and Ralph L.Wadsworth Construction is the general contrac-tor.
Some of the bridges were transported as muchas a mile and a half which is “a good distance,”Montoya said.
“That was significant. There are a fair amountof projects where you move a bridge a couplehundred feet but we actually moved some ofthem a mile and a half.”
The bridges that were moved vary in lengthfrom 85 to 173 ft. (25.9 to 52.7 m) and were 43 to94 ft. (13 to 28.6 m) wide, Carlye Sommers, pub-lic involvement manager for Lochner, said. Thelargest weighed in at 1,350 tons (1,220 t).
The SPMTs that moved the bridges hadapproximately 250 wheels and moved at an aver-age speed of five miles per hour, Sommers said.
The only route crews could move the bridgesdown was the same one they were working on so

Manitowoc Crane Care Opens Distribution Center in Ind.Manitowoc Cranes has dedicated a new Manitowoc
Crane Care parts distribution center in Jeffersonville, Ind.The new 141,000 sq. ft. facility will consolidate parts dis-
tribution functions previously managed from warehouses inManitowoc, Wis., Shady Grove, Pa., and Rockford, Ill.
Bob Hund, executive vice president of Manitowoc CraneCare, said opening the new facility would provide cost andtime savings to customers.
“Providing superior customer service is a core value atManitowoc Cranes,” he said. “By streamlining parts distri-bution this way, we are helping improve our response timeand reduce costs for our customers and dealers around theworld — ultimately adding more value for our customers.”
The new distribution center, which will be operated by CatLogistics, will employ 50 people when fully operational atthe end of this year.
The distribution center will be responsible for more than70,000 unique part numbers. This new arrangement alsoallows for multi-brand parts shipments to be combined,which not only saves time but also consolidates shippingcosts.
The Jeffersonville facility is located near Louisville, Ky.,one of the largest air and ground shipping hubs in NorthAmerica. Because of this proximity, the cut-off time for deal-ers and customers to order parts has been extended from 5p.m. Eastern time to 10 p.m. Eastern time. In addition, 70percent of Manitowoc’s North American customer base cannow be reached within two days via ground transportation,
increased from 50 percent. International customers also willbenefit from faster air freight service.
The new distribution center represents a significant invest-ment for Manitowoc Cranes, and plans for the project wereput in place more than two years ago before the economic
downturn. But Hund said, despite an economic challenging time,
Manitowoc’s commitment to its customers has stayedstrong.
“Our new distribution center represents a major commit-ment by Manitowoc,” he said. “And despite the economicdifficulties throughout all aspects of the construction indus-try, we have stayed committed to the mission of consolidat-ing our North American parts distribution because we under-stand that when a crane is down in the field, customers needparts as fast and as economically possible.”
Distribution Center Facts and Figures• 141, 000 sq. ft.• More than 70,000 part numbers• 24/7 — on-call service• 520,000 purchase order and sale order lines received per
year• 600 shipments per day expected• Average weight of shipment: 16 lbs.• Maximum weight of shipment: 5,000 lbs.• 17,000 North American and international delivery

Iron Workers ‘Start Things Up’at Soldier Field in ChicagoDennis Slater, president of the Association
of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM),added: “More jobs are at stake inChicagoland, throughout Illinois and acrossthe country as time is running out for themen and women of the construction andequipment industries without long-term fed-eral transportation investment.”
AEM and AED are co-leading the StartUs Up USA! campaign.
Illinois is among the ten hardest hit statesin the nation, according to new researchreleased by IHS Global Insight inSeptember. While the recession abates for
some sectors of the U.S. economy, the con-struction equipment industry remainsstalled. Since 2006, the state of Illinois haslost nearly $9.5 billion worth of economicoutput from the construction industry. Theresearch also found:
• Job losses in this sector are significant-ly worse than other industries — like autoand finance — that have received govern-ment bailouts.
• Two out of every 25 jobs lost during thecurrent recession (or eight percent) can betraced to this downturn in the constructionequipment industry.
• The main culprit is a more than 50 per-
cent drop in construction equipment spend-ing since its peak in 2006, which coincideswith declining infrastructure investment thisdecade.
Diane Benck, vice president of generaloperations, West Side Tractor Sales Co., inNaperville, Ill., a mainstay in theChicagoland community since 1962, attest-ed to the challenges the industry is facing.
“Industry-wide sales have decreased 50percent since its peak in 2006,” Benck said.“This is the first time we’ve seen conditionsthis poor and it has been difficult to watchthe toll this recession has taken on ouremployees.
She explained that an extension on thehighway was necessary because the stimuluswas “a one-shot deal” and not a long-termsolution.
“There is no long-term funding rightnow,” Benck said. “I understand that it ispolitically difficult to raise funds, which isbased on the gas tax, but, currently, we haveno good funding mechanism in place.
“Equipment dealers and contractors needto pressure our local representatives and sen-ators across the country and let them know,”Benck concluded.
At the rally, Jerry Roper, president andCEO of the Chicagoland Chamber ofCommerce, and Dennis Gannon, presidentof the Chicago Federation of Labor, lenttheir support to the Start Us Up USA! cam-paign.

hydraulic scissor lift, fired up their enginesand took their message to Chicago-arealocals and visitors around the museum cam-pus with banners saying “It’s Time To StartUs Up USA!” and “The recession is a con-struction equipment depression.”
Start Us Up USA! is rallying support forswift U.S. congressional action on a newmulti-year reauthorization bill for criticalinfrastructure projects. Improvement proj-ects give communities more transit options,safer roads, improves congested roads anddecreases greenhouse gases while providingmillions of good-paying construction jobs.
The transportation funding expired onSept. 30, and critical infrastructure projectslike the Eisenhower Expressway ExpansionProject need this federal support to proceedin the coming years. According to recentdata from The Road Information Program(TRIP), 43 percent of Illinois’ major urbanhighways are congested and 34 percent ofthe state’s major roads are in poor ormediocre condition. Travel on Illinois high-ways has increased by 29 percent since2007.
In addition, the reauthorization is criticalto numerous improvements that are part ofthe Chicago Region Environmental andTransportation Efficiency (CREATE) pro-gram to reduce railroad bottlenecks and con-gestion, shorten commute times and reclaim
Chicago’s position as the intermodal capitalof North America. According to CREATE, ifinfrastructure issues and rail capacity are notaddressed, the Chicago region is at risk tolose 17,000 jobs and $2 billion in annualeconomic production within two decades.
This Chicago rally was the second grass-roots event that equipment industry workersand leaders have organized across the coun-
try.The campaign kicked off in Las Vegas at
Cashman Equipment on Oct. 1. Equipment from the Chicago rally came
from area dealers and contractors: Illini Hi-Reach, Kropp Equipment Inc., McCannIndustries, Metro Lift, Patten Industries,Polte Construction, Runnion Equipment,West Side Tractor Sales Co. and Vermeer

Butler Machinery, a Caterpillar equipment dealer, haslicensed Lawson for Equipment Service Management andRental Suite, a software system designed for heavy equip-ment manufacturers, distributors and rental companies.
Butler will use the Lawson solution to help promote effi-ciency within the company and position it for growth. Inaddition, Butler will use the Lawson Human ResourceManagement Suite to support its HR-related activities. Thecontract was signed during Lawson’s first quarter of fiscal2010, which ended Aug. 31.
With a decentralized business structure and limited abilityto standardize many key business processes, ButlerMachinery decided to invest in new technology to help sup-port its expanding operations, improve visibility of its busi-ness performance and optimize its customer service. Butlerengaged in a Lawson value assessment to help the companyidentify and quantify, in advance, the potential financial andnon-financial benefits of implementing the Lawson system.The value assessment provided Butler’s management teamwith a detailed review and analysis of the company’s keyperformance indicators and best practices that can help drivebusiness improvements.
Implementing the integrated Lawson system and essen-tially creating a “single source of truth” will help supportButler’s field service, sales, rental and parts operations,including support for financial and supply chain manage-ment.
“With the current economic situation, we feel that this isthe right time to invest in a new business system,” saidTwylah Blotsky, director of IT, marketing and Six Sigma ofButler Machinery. “We need to be better positioned to man-age our business for the current climate as well as futuregrowth. The Lawson value assessment helped minimizeButler’s potential risk related to this investment and demon-strated the potential business benefits we may see from thisnew platform.”
“Customers using construction and industrial machineryare now more then ever looking to gain greater value fromtheir service and rental operations,” said Ron Kubera, gener-al manager, equipment service management and rental ofLawson. “So it’s important for companies like ButlerMachinery to have the right systems and processes in placeto help them improve their after-sales business performance.By keeping an intense focus on our core markets, we candeliver the industry-specific products and expertise that willultimately help make our customers stronger and more com-petitive.”

HD1500-7 Harnesses More Power With SDA12V160 EnginePowered by a turbocharged Komatsu SDA12V160
engine, the Komatsu HD1500-7 mining truck has a nominalpayload of 158 tons (43.3 t) and delivers 1,487 hp (1,109kW) at 1,900 rpm. The optional SDA16V159 engine offerscustomers an EPA, Tier II certified engine. Considering theincorporation of VHMS with integrated payload meter asstandard equipment, the HD1500-7 offers owners and operators asystem for monitoring both theapplication and performance ofthis haul truck.
Power PlantThe Komatsu SDA12V160, 12
cylinder, turbocharged dieselengine provides reliability whileincorporating the latest technolo-gy. The engines’ CENTRY elec-tric engine management systemcontinuously monitors engineconditions and automaticallyadjusts for peak operation. A pre-lube system eliminates wear fromboth cold and hot starts for longer engine life. The optionalCENSE engine diagnostic system is integrated with VHMSand provides real-time data for maintenance and operationspersonnel.
An optional Komatsu SDA16V160 engine conforms toall EPA regulations for Tier II emission controls while pro-viding a smooth and reliable power delivery to the truck sys-tems.
Drive SystemAs compared to the previous model, the HD1500-7 will
feature an enhanced engine damper assembly, driving theseven-speed, electronically controlled transmission. Both thefront and rear propulsion shafts have been redesigned to pro-
vide a smooth transition of powerto the updated final drive assem-bly. The final drive housing is castwith 55,000 lb. (24,948 kg) yieldstrength material and has been re-contoured to more effectivelyreduce stresses on the drive com-ponents. The final drive featuresplanetary gear teeth with a largerprofile and the internal drive shaftdiameter has been increased tomatch the torque requirements ofthe drive train.
PerformanceCompared to its mechanical
drive competition, the HD1500-7has more than 4 percent more horsepower, providing a 10percent speed advantage on an effective 12 percent grade atmaximum GVW. Downhill, the difference is even greater,with the HD1500-7 providing an 18 percent speed-on-gradeadvantage while traversing a negative 10 percent effectivegrade, fully loaded. In addition, the HD1500-7 has a tightturning diameter, a full 10 ft. (3.05 m) less than the competi-tion, according to the manufacturer.
Parts Interchangeability The new HD1500-7 has been designed to standardize
many components with existing 530M/HD1500-5 miningtrucks. This effort to make many components commonbetween models gives access to an existing pool of new andremanufactured parts inventory to help maintain theHD1500-7. Service technicians can build on their experiencewith existing models. Additional training is available atKomatsu’s Training and Demonstration Facility inCartersville, Ga.
Some of these common items include:• Rim assemblies• Front and rear suspensions• Hoist cylinders• Dump body• Engine assembly including the radiator (SDA12V160
only)• Fuel tank/hydraulic tank• Most consumable items, (filters, belts and hoses)
Optional EquipmentThe new HD1500-7 will be available with many of the
same options as on existing Komatsu rear dump trucks.These include:
• Komatsu SDA16V159 engine for EPA Tier II certifiedapplications
Powered by a turbocharged KomatsuSDA12V160 engine, the Komatsu HD1500-7mining truck has a nominal payload of 158tons (43.3 t) and delivers 1,487 hp (1,109 kW)at 1,900 rpm.

Rogers detachable and fixed goosenecklowbed trailers are available in specializedmodels. Modifications can be made to pro-duction trailer designs or the trailer can bedesigned and built “from the ground up.” Byfollowing individual customer specifica-tions, Rogers can accommodate the excep-tionally long, wide, high or heavy loads andmeet stringent state transportation regula-tions. These trailers are fabricated from100K and 130K minimum yield steel toreduce the trailer’s tare weight while main-taining strength and durability.
A variety of deck styles, goosenecks, axle
configurations and optional equipment areavailable to simplify virtually any haulingchallenge. Rogers’ special features include:two or three-axle stingers and removableaxles, gooseneck extensions, detachable rearframes and modular deck designs along withI-beam and drop side decks. Special featuressuch as rear frame openings and Rogers’“wheel wells” improve overhead clearance.Plus, these trailers can include two and three-axle jeep or helper dollies. Specialized trail-ers range in capacities from 25 to 150 tons(22.7 to 136 t).
Rogers’ “Croucher” deck enables thesetrailers to hug the ground and make loadingand unloading safe and easy. Self-aligningbeam hooks make gooseneck reconnection afast operation. The “No Foot” self-liftinggooseneck quickly raises or lowers the deck
without a ram foot touching the ground tosimplify loading and to clear obstructionssuch as low bridges or raised railroad tracks,according to the manufacturer.

Felling’s Air Tilt Deck-Over Eliminates Need for HydraulicsIn September of this year Felling Trailers
released the Air Tilt Deck-Over. This designutilizes air, powered from the tow vehicle, totilt the trailer and optional ramps, eliminat-ing the need for hydraulics. The air powerfrom the tow vehicle fills two air bags,which then raise the trailer smoothly; the airbag will then keep the deck in the tilted posi-tion to allow for loading/unloading of multi-ple pieces of equipment. The deck then low-ers itself by releasing the air pressure at acontrolled rate to prevent the deck fromslamming down. These trailers also are
equipped with Felling’s air-latch system(deck lock). This allows the user to lock andunlock the deck with the flip of a switchinstead of working with cumbersome leversor walking from one side of the deck to theother.
Towing capability andbalance were achieved byplacing the axles furtherback on the Air Tiltmodel than other tilt trail-ers on the market. Thesemodels also are usefulfor transporting low
clearance equipment such as pavers, scissorlifts, forklifts and more with its low-clear-ance loading angle. With the option oframps, a load angle as low as 7 degrees canbe achieved for loading equipment.
In the construction of this trailer Fellinguses a high grade 80 steel for
the main struc-tural beamsthat wasfabricatedin -house .The use ofthese beams
in turn increases the trailer’s strength yetreduces the total trailer weight. There aretwo base models for the Air Tilt; the FT-40TA, which has a load capacity of 40,000 lbs.(18,143 kg) and the FT-50-3 TA with a loadcapacity of 50,000 lbs. (22,679 kg).
Standard Features include• Deck — white oak 2 in. nominal and 6
ft. wood inlaid beavertail• Main beam and crossmembers — high
strength grade 80 steel• Approximate deck height — 32 in.
loaded• Tilting mechanism – (2) air bags• Felling Air-Latch System (deck lock)• Tie downs and storage — 10 D-Rings
and toolbox with lockable cover• 25,000 lb. oil bath axles (CTR)• Brakes — 2S/1M with park brakes on
all axles• 5-year limited structural warranty• 3-year paint warrantyFor more information, visit

The Air Tilt Deck-Over utilizes air, powered from thetow vehicle, to tilt the trailer and optional ramps,eliminating the need for hydraulics.

New U of M Football Stadium Renews College SpiritBy Dick RohlandCEG CORRESPONDENT
After a 27 year absence from collegiateturf, the University of Minnesota GophersBig Ten football team opened its 2009 homeschedule on Sept. 12 and returned to campusto a sold out and new, fan packed stadium.
Mortenson Construction, based inMinneapolis, Minn., along with dozens ofsub-contractors delivered the new stadium tothe University of Minnesota (U of M) and itsfootball fans one month ahead of scheduleand within budget.
The $288.5 million stadium is a structuralsteel skeleton with precast concrete risers forthe stadium seating. With a “horseshoestyle” design, the stadium features a 108 ft.(32 m) wide by 48 ft. (14 m) scoreboard andvideo screen at its open end and is one of thelargest in college sports.
The open end faces southwest toward theU of M campus and downtownMinneapolis.
Stonemasons laid 760,000 bricks on theoutdoor façade of the stadium walls to repli-cate the look of the team’s former, on cam-pus home, Memorial Stadium.
Designers also provided for an expansionin seating capacity of 30,000 seats to bringtotal capacity to more than 80,000 fans.
Financing came from a combination ofstate funds, student fees and private dona-tions, including a $35 million contributionfrom TCF Financial Corporation ofWayzata, Minn., for stadium naming rights.
After two years of construction and anoth-er year of removals and site preparation, theUniversity of Minnesota Marching Bandushered in the return of outdoor football tothe U of M campus and its legion of fans.
The sell out crowd of 50,805 enthusiasticfootball fans descended onto TCF BankStadium to be part of U of M campus histo-ry and watch their team beat the Air ForceAcademy 20 to 13 on a warm, Saturdayevening just hundreds of feet from the site ofthe team’s original home.
Starved for some old fashion college foot-ball spirit, fans from across the state and thenation welcomed the Gophers home to astanding ovation when they ran onto the newfield.
Signs of the past returned to the present tomake the tradition of outdoor football com-plete. Along with the horseshoe shape andbrick façade, players ran, tackled and tum-bled outdoors on synthetic FieldTurf just asteams in the past had done for more than 60years. And the U of M Marching Band of200 plus brass and drum musicians playedand sang the team’s theme song, theMinnesota Rouser.
The Minnesota Gophers moved off cam-pus, to the dismay of team boosters and fans,
to the indoor field and air supported dome ofthe Hubert Humphrey Metrodome in 1982after Memorial Stadium began showingsigns of severe wear and tear.
The Metrodome also became the home ofthe Minnesota Twins and Vikings that sameyear, who moved indoors to escapeMinnesota’s somewhat fickle spring andsummer climate and the snow and cold oflate fall.
Since the controversial move, there wasalways talk of moving the Gophers back tocampus.
According to the U of M Web site, dis-cussions began carrying some seriousweight in 2003 when university officialsbegan seeking funds from the state and pri-vate donors to launch a new stadium, citingpoor revenue and a lack ofcollege atmosphere for mov-ing the team back home.
It was not until the spring2006 Minnesota legislativesession, according to the Website, that a final funding andconstruction bill for the newstadium was approved. Thiscame after a variety of fund-ing proposals and anotherjoint U of M and MinnesotaVikings plan were proposedand vetoed down.
With the funding in-place,planning and design kickedinto high gear. TheUniversity of Minnesotabrought on Populous out ofKansas City, Mo., to designthe new stadium.
Located in the northeastquadrant of the campus, the26.9 acre (11 hectare) stadi-um site is part of a futureexpansion of 75 acres to the college. Alongwith the stadium, current plans call for theconstruction of an additional 10 new aca-demic buildings by 2015.
On what was once a huge and long timeparking lot, Veit from Rogers, Minn., movedonto the site in the fall of 2006 to begin siteclearing and earth work. Operating a seriesof Cat dozers and backhoes, Veit crewsinstalled much of the underground utilities,placed erosion control and removed haz-ardous materials.
During construction of the stadium, Veitworkers also removed and recycled much ofthe construction waste.
Nearly at the same time, FrattloneCompany, based in Little Canada, Minn., hitthe site to remove a grain elevator complexthat was more than 1,000 ft. (310 m) longand featured a couple of head houses, includ-ing one that rose 185 ft. (58 m) aboveground.
Bringing the structure down with explo-sives was not an option because theUniversity Magnetic Resonance ImagingResearch facility was nearby. Researcherswere concerned that explosives could causevibrations that might compromise theirresearch, according to Jim Wutzke,Frattalone project manager.
Grain tanks water proofed with asbestosadded another wrinkle to the project, Wutzkenoted. So, Frattalone crews relied on the oldreliable boom and wrecking ball techniqueto bring the structure down.
“Our plan was to remove and dispose ofthe asbestos impacted structures, demolishthe recyclable concrete structures and usethat debris to create a pile for the 999Amercian to sit on and access the 185 ft.
head house,” Wutzke explained.Frattalone also brought in another 999
American crane to help with the demolitionand relied on Cat excavators and LaBountypulverizors to recycle the reinforced steeland concrete.
“Over 54,000 tons of concrete was recov-ered and recycled and we recovered over1,500 tons of reinforcing steel for recycle,”Wutzke noted.
Much of the crushed concrete was usedunder the new parking lot for stadium park-ing and to be part of the road base of a near-by arterial street under going reconstruction,Wutzke said.
By early fall of 2007, with most of the sitework completed, Mortenson crews rolled inwith a variety of cranes, dozers and back-hoes to begin pile driving operations. Alongwith a couple of Link-Belt cranes,Mortenson relied on American cranesincluding a HC-110 and a HC-80 to drill the
piles. Mortenson cranes drilled 2,133 piles for a
total of 82,075 ft. (26,000 m) or 15.5 mi. (25km). According to Brian Boe, Mortensonproject superintendent, pile driving contin-ued through the winter and spring months of2008.
Once workers completed the pile driving,activity at the site increased dramatically.Steel erection crews from Amerect movedonto the site and the stadium began risingfrom the ground and quickly took form dur-ing the spring and summer months of 2008.
Along with the steel crews, more than 60sub-contractors and their workers moved inand out of the site, making constructionphasing and coordination a critical piece ofthe project.
At any one time, there“were 600 workers on sitewith a peak of around 750workers. Just managing theshear volume and movingsix to seven hundred work-ers around the site at thesame time is challenging,”said Joanna Slominski, thestadium construction man-ager of Mortenson.
To keep the work flowingand maintaining progress,Mortenson divided the con-struction of the stadium intothree separate areas, Boeadded.
“For the steel erection,each area of the stadium isdivided by an expansionjoint,” Boe explained. “Westarted on the north andsouth sides with all of ourpiles and structural steel.”
Working from both sidesof the stadium, a combination of Grove,Link-Belt and Manitowoc cranes pickedsteel beams, some weighing 42,000 lbs.(14,500 kg) to waiting iron workers highabove the ground.
Crews worked “from the west end andthey worked east until they came to the endof the horseshoe and then they closed it off,”Boe said.
Once iron workers completed enough ofthe steel skeleton, crews began placing thepre-cast concrete risers for the stadium seat-ing. At this stage, Mortenson relied on anewer and innovative method to fix the pre-cast to the steel.
“Basically, we used suction cups. Theolder method used hooks to set the pre-castrisers to the metal,” Boe explained. “Well,that causes damage to the precast. Themethod used on this stadium, which hasbeen used in Europe for quite a few years, is

Rescission of Funding LeavesDOTs Scrambling for OptionsJim Berard, communications director of theHouse Transportation Committee and a vet-eran of the congressional legislative process.“We gave the rescissions to them [opponentsof a more expensive transportation bill] in2005. We wanted to finally pass a bill, so wedecided to give it to them and fix it later. Wenever fixed it.”
This cynical process of making law andestablishing funding authority doesn’tinspire confidence in the executive offices ofgeneral contractors, where budgets are fig-ured and books are kept less imaginatively.Inspiring or not, the process ultimately isresponsible for most funding for highwayprojects, so state departments of transporta-tion and contractors now anxiously await aresolution of the dilemma.
Colorado is one of the states where therescission of funding authority has DOTofficials scrambling. The state had about$115 million pulled back by the bookkeep-ing reversal.
“We definitely are going to be affected,”said the Colorado DOT communicationsdirector, Stacy Stegman. “A variety of proj-ects will be touched. We are trying to get ahandle on it.” She noted the rescissionsundoubtedly will impact work in the Denvermetro area.
Stegman said the possibility of rescissionwas known all along and the state plannedaccordingly. Still, she said, tentative deci-sions were made on the assumption themoney would be available: Money was allo-cated, partnerships with communities andcounties were established and contracts wereworked up — all of which must be revisitednow.
From any perspective, it is a reversal of anorderly contracting process and will slowtransportation projects going under contractand breaking ground. This comes at a timewhen speeding up of construction activity isthe top priority in every state.
Such inexplicable decision-making isbecoming characteristic of a Congress thatremains distracted by the push for newhealth care rules. The enormity of revampinghealth care, with its huge fiscal implications,has sidetracked most other legislative activi-ty including enactment of a new transporta-tion bill.
AASHTO’s Dorsey said that “rumblings”and “things going on under the radar” con-stitute most of what is happening at themoment with a transportation bill. “There isa lot of talk about getting a six-year bill donesooner rather than later,” Dorsey said.“There’s talk about a second stimulus andsome movement to repeal the rescissions. It
really is a lot of speculation at this point —but people at least are talking and trying toresolve this whole funding crisis.”
The funding crisis for transportation —and, by extension, for transportation contrac-tors — has numerous facets.
First, the highway trust fund is shaky. Ittwice has been depleted and re-infused withcash by Congress while lawmakers debatethe best formula for guaranteeing trust fundsin the future. Gas tax money no longer canbe banked on to fund the nation’s infrastruc-ture needs. Just solving this piece of thetransportation puzzle so far has eludedCongress.
Passage of a six-year transportation billbefore a previous bill expires repeatedly hasproven too great a task for Congress.September’s last-minute passage of the one-month extension — flawed by the Senate’sfailure to stop the rescissions — was the lat-est legislative misstep in that series.
So once again in 2009, House and Senatemembers not only are debating what toinclude in a six-year transportation bill, theyhave yet to decide whether to even pass a billthis year or to defer it till next year … or per-haps till the year after that. Industryobservers can be forgiven for chewing theirnails to the nubs.
While AASHTO is actively monitoringthe congressional debate, it is not taking aposition on the length of extensions — thatis, whether to extend the current law for amonth at a time, for three months, for 18months or for some other period. “All wewant is dependability in a funding system, ahighway program that states and contractorsand people who work on these projects canrely on,” Dorsey said a few days after thefirst extension took effect.
Members of Congress wanting relativelyquick passage of a new bill fear that exten-sions several months in length will onlyreduce the sense of urgency about getting thejob done. Irresolution is a crisis in itself, theysaid, and giving Congress a generousamount of time to come to agreement willonly worsen it.
The Obama administration wants an 18-month extension of SAFETEA-LU for tacti-cal reasons: Any discussion now of new tax-ing programs to generate billions of dollarsin transportation money would muddy thediscussion about coming up with billions ofdollars for a health care program. Hence,shelving the transportation bill is the wholeidea.
In June, the House Transportation andInfrastructure committee openly opposed theadministration’s extension. Committee

Rescissions to Strip Shovels Out of Contractors’Handsmembers expressed in a letter their “profound disappoint-ment” in the administration’s “business-as-usual approach.”
“That is the failed experience of the past,” wrote commit-tee Chairman James Oberstar of Minnesota and nine othercommittee members. “An 18-month extension of currentlaw and temporary restoration of the Highway Trust Fundwill leave states without the certainty and reliable fundingsource that they need to plan, design and construct signifi-cant multi-year highway and transit projects. States will slowinvestments — as they have done during past extensions —and this slowdown will offset much of the benefit of the
increased transportation investment provided under theAmerican Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 [stimu-lus bill].” The letter was not persuasive, so in September the Housecommittee offered its three-month extension of SAFETEA-LU. Senate transportation leaders support the administra-tion’s request for a longer extension, but when crunch timearrived in September they couldn’t muster voters for athree-month extension, let alone an 18-month extension.
As a fallback position, both houses then quickly attachedthe one-month extension to a continuing resolution budgetbill; unfortunately, the continuing resolution didn’t contain
language addressing the rescissions. Missouri Sen. Christopher Bond is ranking member of the
Senate transportation subcommittee and a member of theSenate Appropriations Committee. Earlier in 2009, he hadoffered an amendment to a bill to cancel the rescissions, butit was defeated. He was assured a fix would occur beforeSept. 30.
“Today’s inaction [to cancel the rescissions] took theshovels out of the hands of American workers across thecountry,” Bond said after the September vote. “This rescis-sion will translate into the loss of thousands of jobs and thecanceling of transportation infrastructure projects throughoutthe country, which is equivalent to pouring salt into thewounds of those seeking employment during the economicdownturn.”
What Congress takes away, of course, it also can give andthat’s what observers on and off Capitol Hill believe willhappen eventually. The question is, when?
“I talked to our staff yesterday about this,” HouseTransportation Committee spokesman Berard said a fewdays after the vote. “There are no talks yet about what hap-pens at the end of October. It is sort of like when you are incollege: You wait until the last moment and then ask for anextension.
“It is possible that at some point within the next 12 monthsCongress may decide it wants to rescind the rescission,” headded. “That is not the committee’s position. Our position iswe are going to try to push for a six-year bill to solve thatproblem and others. If we pass it, the states will be gettingmore money than they are losing.”
There is no question that the House bill would up the antefor transportation. Its price tag is $450 billion, a 57 percentincrease over the current $285 billion funding authority. Itvirtually doubles the amount of money set aside for theHighway Trust Fund — $87 billion — and reorganizes thebill into four funding categories.
How to pay for all that is not spelled out, which is pre-cisely the discussion that Department of TransportationSecretary Ray LaHood and the rest of the Obama adminis-tration wish to defer until 2010.
However, with construction unemployment in the rangeof 17 percent, deferring a decision about new highway fund-ing is not what the industry is after. Berard said the Housecommittee is aware of the need to get construction people towork.
“This is something that Chairman Oberstar talks aboutevery chance he gets,” Berard said. “He talks all the timeabout unemployment in construction and how we need tomove the bill. It’s one of the things we point out to convincethe administration we need to move. The transportation billcan act as another stimulus package.”
Dorsey at AASHTO credited the administration’s stimu-lus package with ramping up work. “I think the stimulus billhas had a positive impact on construction. Jobs have beencreated. What we can’t let happen now is for the industry tomove one step forward and two steps back by not gettingextensions as necessary or not getting a six-year bill. AASH-TO would prefer a six-year bill sooner rather than later.”
The “sooner-or-later” decision for a transportation billseems inextricably tied to passage of a health care bill.Senate leaders have indicated they believe the priority debatefor now is health care. Just how quickly and decisively thatissue is resolved will determine how soon or how late trans-portation funding will receive its due deliberation.

Founded in 1919, the Asphalt Institute(AI) is a U.S.-based association of interna-tional petroleum asphalt/bitumen producers,manufacturers, and affiliated businesses.The Asphalt Institute’s mission is to promotethe use, benefits, and quality performance ofpetroleum asphalt, through environmental,marketing, research, engineering and techni-cal development, and through the resolutionof issues affecting the industry.
“The history of the Asphalt Institute close-ly parallels the history of the asphalt indus-try,” said Pete Grass, AI president. “In itsbeginning, the Institute was the primaryassociation spearheading the technical, edu-cational and promotional programs for theindustry.”
Ninety years later, the Institute celebratesthis anniversary by bringing you a look atour past with an eye toward our future.
Getting StartedThe rapid growth of the automotive indus-
try in the early 1900s brought about its ownset of complexities, including the destructionof America’s existing dirt roads. There wasno way to keep up with the maintenance ofdirt roads. Engineers were faced with thechallenge of building roads that would notturn to mud or dust.
By 1919, more and more refiners wereproducing asphalt. These producers began torecognize the need to form an association topromote their product to engineers and thepublic. In the spring of that year, J.R. Draneyof the U.S. Asphalt Refining Company andW.W. McFarland of Warner-Quinlan inviteda group of petroleum refiners and pavingcontractors to discuss forming an asphaltassociation. On May 16, 1919, in New YorkCity, 11 companies founded the AsphaltAssociation, as the Asphalt Institute wasoriginally named.
When World War I ended in 1919, use ofthe automobile was steadily rising, but roads
outside the city limits were frequently toomuddy or dusty for travel. The cure for theseroads included road oils and asphalt. States,counties and cities all needed technical infor-mation about how to properly apply road oilsand asphalt. The Asphalt Association metthis challenge by providing ConstructionLeaflets and “how to” information to statesand local agencies.
Too Many GradesBy 1920, there were a number of asphalt
producers and asphalt grades. Specificationsproliferated — there were 102 differentasphalt penetration grades. One of theAssociation’s first major contributions was
to help reduce the number of asphalt grades.In 1922, the Asphalt Association workedwith the Commerce Department to reducethe 102 different grades down to just 9.
Farm-to-Market RoadsPeople had been talking about getting the
farmer out of the mud for years, but a part-nership between the Asphalt Association andthe Farm Bureau was the first to actually doit. The muddy and dusty farm roads werestabilized by the use of local aggregates andcutback asphalt. Likewise, the technicalwork and investigative analysis of theAssociation during this time focused onresearch and promotion of a new type of liq-uid asphalt, Medium Curing (MC) cutbackasphalt. MC was widely and effectively usedin low cost road construction.
Demand GrowsIn the 1930s, as the number of vehicles on
the road and demand for asphalt pavementsincreased dramatically, so did the need for
(1910-25)Workers roll a road in Pike County, Pa.,in the 1910s.
see AI page 60
(1932-33)In the 1930s, the number of vehicles on the road and the demand for asphalt pave-ment increased dramatically. Here, Yant Construction Company performs anasphalt job using a Barber Greene portable asphalt plant to pick up untreatedaggregate from windrows and depositing finished mixture in windrows for spread-ing and compaction.

AI’s Goal to Promote Asphalt as Long-Lasting, High-Quality technical information. The Asphalt Institute,as it was now known, supplied a steadystream of information about the proper usesof asphalt. Between 1930 and 1937, theInstitute published 155 booklets and pam-phlets explaining the numerous uses ofasphalt. The Asphalt Pocket Reference forHighway Engineers, first published in the20s, became the forerunner of MS-4: TheAsphalt Handbook, which is still an industrystandard today. The seventh edition of MS-4is currently available at www.asphaltinsti-tute.org.
During World War II, Asphalt Instituteengineers were quick to assist the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers with training in asphaltconstruction and the proper maintenance ofheavy-duty airfields. Following the war, asthese engineers returned to work in agenciesand state highway departments, they contin-ued to rely on the Institute for advice andassistance on road and airfield planning.
The Turnpike EraThe promotional efforts of the Asphalt
Institute in the late 1940s helped to usher inthe era of the turnpike, and the MaineTurnpike, constructed in 1947, was animportant milestone.
Maine Turnpike design engineers hadassumed that it would be built with concrete,but they were interested in the idea of usingasphalt. They decided to ask for alternatebids of both concrete and asphalt. AI engi-neers recommended a mechanically stabi-lized base with a dense-graded asphalt sur-face. The alternate bids showed a large costadvantage by using asphalt—large enoughthat the Maine Highway Department choseasphalt for the entire length of theirTurnpike.
In 1949, the New Jersey Turnpike yieldeda similar success story. When the TurnpikeAuthority compared concrete and asphaltbids, asphalt presented a substantial savingsof $5.5 million. AI engineers convincedeven hardened concrete advocates thatasphalt was the appropriate choice, and theAuthority awarded every section of the 118-mi. Turnpike to asphalt.
Oklahoma, Kansas, Massachusetts, NewHampshire, Connecticut and Florida quicklyfollowed with toll roads and parkways builtwith asphalt. Many of the heroes of the turn-pike era were Asphalt Institute engineers.
As well, in 1949, AI first published theAsphalt Institute Quarterly, its national mag-azine that later became known as AsphaltMagazine.
The Interstate SystemAfter World War II, full-scale automobile
production resumed along with major levelsof road maintenance and new highway con-
struction. Massive resurfacing programsbegan but could barely keep up with post-war travel demands. By 1950, vehicle regis-tration exceeded 40 million cars and 8 mil-lion trucks.
In 1956, President Eisenhower signed theFederal-Aid Highway Act and launched theInterstate System to create an infrastructurehighway program unmatched anywhere inthe world. Institute engineers respondedquickly and arranged meetings with high-way engineers to discuss the initial cost, lifeexpectancy, maintenance, economy, anddurability of asphalt pavements. As a resultof these meetings, many state highwaydepartments specified asphalt for their partof the Interstate System.
Additionally, the Institute’s board ofdirectors strategized the best way to informthe traveling public of the advantages ofasphalt pavement. Competition was fierce,and AI responded with a massive ad cam-paign for the Velvet Ride focusing on thesmoothness of the asphalt surface. Those adsappeared in magazines and newspapers suchas Engineering News Record, The SaturdayEvening Post, Life, Good Housekeeping andThe Wall Street Journal.
New Uses for AsphaltBuilding on the success of Interstate road-
ways, AI engineers encouraged full-depthasphalt street construction in scores of U.S.cities in the 1960s. The Institute also focused
efforts on other uses of asphalt. Seaport load-ing areas used asphalt to handle 30,000-lb.wheel-loads. Tennis courts, bicycle paths,racetracks, playgrounds and football fieldswere constructed with asphalt. And asphaltsurfaces were ideal for speedway racetracks,allowing speeds in excess of 150 mi. perhour. With low cost, low maintenance, ver-satility, and a quick drying surface, asphaltwas recognized as a useful material forrecreational surfaces.
Recycling and EmulsionsThe Asphalt Institute turned its focus to
environmental and regulatory concerns inthe ’70s. With the help of V.P. Puzinauskas(AI Research Engineer) and Luke Corbett(Exxon Corporation Research Division), aviscosity grading system was developed tobetter measure asphalt characteristics.Switching from penetration to viscositygrading allowed engineers to develop a moreuniform method of measurement for betterquality asphalt.
By the mid-70s, a national move to con-serve energy and materials initiated a wide-spread interest in recycling of pavementmaterials. AI engineers promoted hot andcold recycling around the United States.
The Clean Air Act of 1977 lead to a reduc-tion of the use of cutback asphalts, and engi-neers turned to the Asphalt Institute, FHWA,and the Asphalt Emulsion ManufacturersAssociation for help with information about
asphalt emulsions. Together, these organiza-tions created The Basic Emulsion Manual(MI-19). Additionally, they hosted work-shops for training personnel, which allowedfor an organized transition from cutbacks toasphalt emulsions.
Superpave’s ChampionThe Strategic Highway Research
Program (SHRP) was established by theU.S. Congress in 1987 to improve the per-formance and durability of roads. Superpave(Superior Performing Asphalt Pavements)was a $50 million product of the SHRPeffort. The Superpave system incorporatedperformance-based asphalt materials charac-terization with the design environmentalconditions to improve performance by con-trolling rutting, low temperature crackingand fatigue cracking.
The Federal Highway Administrationcontracted with the Asphalt Institute as theNational Asphalt Training Center (NATC)for Superpave technology. The NATC devel-oped and delivered weeklong training cours-es in Superpave binder and mix design tech-nology.
In the 1990s, AI also promoted the bene-fits of new asphalt applications, includingfish hatcheries, water reservoirs, landfill lin-ers and caps, and environmental holdingponds.
Leading for the FutureToday, the Asphalt Institute continues its
role as a center of excellence for research,engineering and education in support of theasphalt industry. With an array of new publi-cations and Asphalt Academy coursesoffered across North America, AI is a lead-ing industry resource for technical informa-tion, training and research.
Working together with other nationalassociations, international organizations andlocal agencies, AI continues to ensure thatasphalt remains a long-lasting, high-quality,and environmentally sound material for thepavement of the future.
The Asphalt Institute is thriving with 93member companies, said Ralph Shirts(ExxonMobil), 2009 Asphalt InstituteChairman.
“With a dedicated staff, strong member-ship base and support of the member com-panies in our committees, AI is well-posi-tioned to serve the needs of its members andthe industry for decades to come,” he said.
This is the first in a series of articles cele-brating the Asphalt Institute’s 90 years ofcontributions to the asphalt industry.

(1950-18)By 1950, vehicle registration in the United States exceeded 40 million cars and 8 mil-lion trucks. Many state highway departments used asphalt to pave their roads.Here, workers pave Baldwin Hills Reservoir in Los Angeles, Calif., with 3 in. (7.62cm) of hot mix asphalt.

Following the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers, a minor leaguebaseball team in Appleton, is a popular pastime among manyresidents throughout the Fox Valley.
Recognizing the importance of the team in the communi-ty, FABCO RENTS and Lincoln Contractors Supply havebeen providing advertising support to the Rattlers for the pastthree years. This year, that partnership took an exciting newtwist when the team agreed to a player development contractwith the Milwaukee Brewers. The four year contract willkeep the Rattlers and the Brewers together through the 2012season.
“We are excited to have a minor league affiliate closer tohome,” said Brewers Executive Vice President and General
Manager Doug Melvin. “The premier facilities and Brewersfan base in Appleton combined with the proximity toMilwaukee provides a great opportunity for us and it givesour players an excellent and competitive environment to fur-ther their development.”
As a result of the new affiliation, the Timber Rattlers arehaving one of their best attendance years ever. As of July, theaverage attendance per game was 3,259 fans compared to anaverage of 2,001 in 2008.

Pirtek Onsite Service Sets the Bar at Chicago Steelworks
Scheduled maintenance downtime isadvantageous. Machinery maintenance isimproved, unnecessary machine downtimeis prevented and productivity is increased.The downside is that repairs and replace-ments have to be done in a very short time-frame to get equipment and production per-sonnel up and running again on schedule.
Universal Metal Service Corporation ofSouth Holland, Ill., has turned to Pirtek totake any hitch or headache out of preventa-tive maintenance procedures. When theChicago-area producer of steel bar productsneeded to rehose its bar processing equip-ment, it called on Pirtek’s onsite hose servicejust 1 mi. away.
Sizing Up the JobPirtek mobile service technicians had
called on Albert Gomez, Universal Metal’smaintenance manager, several times earlierto acquaint him with Pirtek’s strengths inproviding onsite hose replacements, as wellas its hydraulic system know-how. Theyexplained to him how their vans were wellstocked with hose, connectors and assemblyequipment to manufacture hose assembliesright at the job site.
During a tour of the three-building opera-tion, Gomez explained to Ed Kwiatkowski,operations manager at Pirtek South Holland,that preventative maintenance is an enablerfor Universal Metal to maximize its produc-tion capacity.
“Unplanned hose failures, especiallywhen there’s hydraulic fluid leaks, causeunplanned downtime,” Gomez said. “We area firm believer in preventative maintenanceshutdowns to take care of any potential prob-lems, such as aging hose assemblies, beforethey fail and interrupt production flow.”
Because many of the operation’s hoseassemblies were approaching their retire-ment years, Universal Metal decided to be
proactive in its preventative maintenancework by replacing all of them, a section at atime as budgets would allow.
Gomez pointed out that the shop was setup with a mix of machinery made by U.S.,German, French and Japanese manufactur-ers, some requiring standard connections,some metric connections. Adding to theequipment mismatch was the fact that someof the connections on individual machineshad been converted from original metricconnections to standard connections andsome had not, meaning that Pirtek personnelwould need to take an up-close look at eachand every fitting to verify its origin.
Upfront Needs Survey Kwiatkowski went back to his shop and
put together a proposal for the project thatincluded surveying equipment needs wellbefore each maintenance shutdown — aPirtek ritual.
“With only one day, or maybe two, to getthe job done, we needed to know exactlywhat was required,” Kwiatkowski said. “Weexplained to Albert that our mobile servicetechnician would go in and identify andmeasure all the hose and connectors neededin each section. Once we established a bill ofmaterial, we would make sure all the hoseand accompanying connectors were in stockand ready to go.”
Impressed with the responsiveness to hisneeds and attention to details, Gomez gavePirtek South Holland his stamp of approval.
Doors Wide Open On shutdown days, Pirtek’s hose shop on
wheels was onsite with doors wide open andready to go. A Pirtek technician pulled offeach hose one by one, remeasured it to makesure survey specs were on target, made areplacement hose assembly, and installed it.
Because of the magnitude of the projectand its proximity to Universal Metal, PirtekSouth Holland made sure the doors of itshose service center were wide open, too, toprovide additional production support for the3,600-psi (250 bar) and 5,000-psi (350 bar)hose assemblies, as well as for any addition-al assemblies that the customer decided toreplace along the way.
Over the course of the three-year project,
Pirtek South Holland has changed out hun-dreds of hose assemblies at Universal Metal,with more in the making as the last two areasin the steelworks are readied for hosereplacements.
“We use Pirtek exclusively now for ourhose assembly needs,” Gomez said. “Pirtekwon us over with its onsite hose replacementcapability, 24/7 service, and nearby servicecenter. We don’t need to call anywhere else.”
Pirtek’s onsite hose service brings repairs directly tothe customer.
Pirtek’s hose shop on wheels enables technicians towork at the customer’s site.

University of Minnesota Kicked Off Season in New Stadiumto place the precast risers on ‘suction cups’operated by hydraulic suctioned air.”
It’s efficient, Boe said because “it speedsup time and the quality of work.”
Crews eventually placed 24,000 cu. yds.(18,000 cu m) of cast-in-place concrete andlifted into place 8,000 tons (7,200 t) of steelto complete the structural phase of the stadi-um.
Mortenson also relied on 3D modeling tovisualize all the construction details and ele-ments, Boe added.
“We modeled the entire stadium to showall the structural elements, the precast, themechanical duct work, the large feeder con-duits for electrical and the piping into a 3Dmodel,” Boe said. “We put all these detailsinto the model early on in construction whenwe were pounding piles.”
It was a lot of work at the front endbecause of the sheer quantity of data neces-sary, including dimensions and sizes of allthe elements, yet very beneficial during con-struction, Boe emphasized.
“That way when we get to the point ofinstalling all the internal elements like theduct work and the wiring, we know exactlywhere to put it,” or, as Boe succinctlyremarked “if you don’t do that; you hurry up
to get the building ready, you rough every-thing in on the ceiling, and then you put theceiling in and nothing fits.”
Internal and behind the walls statisticsdrive home the validity of this 3D program.Inside the stadium and concealed behind itswalls are 7500 light fixtures, 706,000 ft.(214,000 m) or 133 mi. (210 km) of electri-cal conduit, 2,210,000 ft. (625,000 m) or 418mi. (650 km) of wire for power, 2,020,000 ft.(615,000 m) or 383 mi. (600 km) of cable fortelecom, broadcast, fire and security systemsand 33,000 ft. (1,000 m) of fiber optic cablewith 900 terminations points.
Adding to this congested potpourri ofwiring and cable are thousands of feet ofplumbing and air and heating duct workbehind the stadium walls.
With the stadium up and nearly complet-ed in the spring of 2009, crews fromFieldTurf moved in and installed 72,753 sqft. (6,760 sq m) of synthetic turf.
Manufactured in Georgia, FieldTurf isdesigned to look and feel like natural grassand its fibers are soft and easy to slide on,according to company literature.
This is all placed on “three different layersof varying sizes of crushed granite spreadout by small dozers and skidloaders attachedwith grade lasers to check grade,” Boe
explained.Once the turf is rolled out, it is filled in
with recycled rubber and sand, Boe added.Not only does FieldTurf save 2.5 to 3.5
million gal. (9.5 to 13.1 million L) of watereach year, company documents further statetheir clients also save an estimated $30,000to $60,000 a year in field maintenance costs.
Along these same lines of environmentalsavings, the new stadium relied on recycledmaterial as well for many of the internal ele-ments including doors and countertops while97 percent of the steel skeleton came fromrecycled steel, Boe said.
Workers also recycled 97 percent of theconstruction waste including thousands oftons of concrete, metal, asphalt, wood,sheetrock and paper and cardboard products,Slominski noted.
Energy efficient lighting, water efficientplumbing fixtures, storm water quantity con-trol and low VOC paint/carpet/adhesives forcleaner air quality further enhanced the envi-ronmental benefits and cost savings.
As a result of these efforts, project man-ager Slominski added that it is a green build-ing that achieved LEED Silver, the first col-legiate football stadium to earn this certifica-tion.
LEED is a third party validation process
developed by the U.S. Green BuildingCouncil to show a building or communitywas designed and built with a positive envi-ronmental impact.
Utilizing recycled materials, recyclingwaste, energy savings and reduced carbondioxide emissions are some of the parame-ters considered in the evaluation process.
Both Slominski and Boe are pleased withthe project.
“It went really well. It was challengingbecause of its size. However, the way wephased this project out, we could work indifferent areas of the stadium at the sametime setting steel and the pre-cast,’ Boeexplained.
“We did better than our projected comple-tion date by more than a month,” Slominskiremarked. “So we were doing really wellwith our schedule and I think a majority ofthat was due to our sequencing.”
“It all boils down to work flow,” Boeadded. “If you don’t have the proper workflow, you get into that issue where you needovertime to get it done. We were able toestablish a decent work flow.”
