Restoration work is under wayon a historic wall along the desig-nated scenic Highway 101 on theOregon Coast that was originallyconstructed in 1932. Built some400 ft. (122 m) above the PacificOcean, the basalt rock wall stretch-es as much as 20 ft. (61 m) deep onthe seaward side, but stands only12 in. to 3 ft. (30 cm to .91 m) inheight on the roadway. They wanted to put something

up so people wouldnt just go overthe side into the ocean, said SarahJalving, Oregon Department ofTransportation architectural histo-rian. But they also realized therewere very beautiful vistas. It wasbuilt for tourists so they could pulloff the road and enjoy the vistas.Today, if we were to build some-thing it would be much, muchhigher to meet safety standardstoday. But because of the historicfeature, we are able to get designexception so we can build to its his-toric profile.When constructed more than

eight decades ago, the wall was

part of a highway project that wasthe most expensive mile of high-way ever built by the Bureau ofPublic Roads, and dubbed as thehalf-million-dollar-mile. It is oneof four rockwork walls on thecoast, and is the second longest

span of the four, stretching four-tenths of a mile from milepost178.82 to 179.18 on the centralcoast just north of the city ofFlorence. The wall features twoturnouts and a repeated crenellatedparapet design.

The work is being done by con-tractor HP Civil Inc. of Stayton,Ore. and Tigard, Ore., subcontrac-tor Pioneer WaterproofingCompany, a masonry contractor.Its just a simple basalt wall,

WASHINGTON (AP) A 5-year, $305-bil-lion bill to address the nations aging and con-gested transportation systems was signed intolaw Dec. 4 by President Barack Obama, whosaid it will put Americans to work and providestates with the federal help they need to com-mit to long-term projects. The bill, which was overwhelmingly

approved by Congress a day earlier, provides amodest increase to highway and transit spend-ing but falls short of the $400 billion over six

years administration officials said is necessaryto keep traffic congestion from worsening.Nor does it resolve how to pay for transporta-tion programs in the long term. Obama said hell continue to push for

greater transportation spending to meet thenations infrastructure needs and create jobs. This bill is not perfect, but it is a common-

sense compromise, and an important first stepin the right direction, Obama said in a state-ment. Despite that, the 1,300-page bill was hailed

by lawmakers and the industry as a majoraccomplishment that will halt the cycle of last-

minute, short-term fixes that have kept the fed-eral Highway Trust Fund teetering on the edgeof insolvency for much of the past eight years. Republican leaders pointed to the bills pas-

sage as evidence of their ability to govern, andObama can claim progress on addressing thenations deficient bridges and crowded high-ways, a major goal since the early days of hisadministration. Lawmakers in both parties praised the bill

as a model of bipartisan cooperation. Supportfor the measure was increased by a generoushelping of business favors, parochial provi-

Alaskas North Slope...

ConocoPhillips Approves $900M Arctic Reserve Project ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP)

ConocoPhillips has approved funding for a$900 million drilling project on AlaskasNorth Slope.When production begins in 2018 at the

field in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska an Indiana-sized Arctic reserve the project is expected to yield 30,000 bar-rels of oil daily at its peak, The AlaskaDispatch News reports. Production would be the first time oil has

flowed from federal lands on the reserve.The Bureau of Land Management overseesthe reserve and is working on a broad man-agement plan in the area.We are pleased to have been able to work

through key permitting issues with the Corpsof Engineers and BLM that now allows us tomove into the development phase, said JoeMarushack, president of ConocoPhillipsAlaska.The BLM permitted the project in

October, after the U.S. Army Corps ofEngineers approved a federal wetlands per-mit in January.The project will require a new gravel pad,

a road, facilities and pipelines. Plans call fornine wells initially and up to 33 wells, withoil processing at the existing Alpine CentralFacility.Construction is slated for early 2017, with

peak winter-season hiring estimated at about700, according to a company statement.The project will receive a tax incentive

through the new oil portion of the statestax regime passed in 2013. State RevenueDepartment spokesman Ken Alper said if oilprices remain low when production begins,the projects tax rate could drop to zerobecause the minimum tax wouldnt apply.

HONOLULU (AP) Opponents ofthe Thirty Meter Telescope want con-struction equipment and vehiclesremoved from Mauna Kea now thatthe Hawaii Supreme Court has invali-dated the projects permit.

In a Dec. 2 ruling seen as a victoryfor opponents fighting the $1.4 billionproject, the court said the state landboard approved a permit that allowedconstruction on conservation landbefore a contested case hearing washeld. The court sent the matter back fora new contested case hearing.

They have no permit. Its beenvacated, said Kealoha Pisciotta, oneof the plaintiffs in the lawsuit challeng-ing the permit. They absolutely,immediately have to remove all theirstuff.

But the state attorney generalsoffice said the equipment can remainbecause the project has a sublease withthe University of Hawaii for a portionof the Big Island mountain. As longas TMT does not engage in activitiesthat constitute a land use in the conser-vation district, TMT would not requirea permit or be subject to fines, said a

statement from attorney generalspokesman Joshua Wisch.

Storing large equipment on themountain is not consistent with conser-vation district use, said RichardNaiwieha Wurdeman, the attorney rep-resenting the permit challengers. Hesaid hes ready to take legal action toensure the equipment is removed.

Project spokesman Scott Ishikawasaid officials are still assessing what todo next, including issues related to theequipment on the mountain.

The balls certainly in their court atthis point, whether they want to startthe process all over again, Wurdemansaid. Were ready to challenge themevery step of the way.

If telescope officials opt to proceedwith a new contested case hearing, theentire process could take several years.

Longtime telescope supporter andBig Island farmer Richard Ha said hehopes telescope officials dont give upon a project he believes will providesignificant economic and educationalopportunities.

I know that theyve done every-thing they possibly can to do the rightthing, he said. I hope they hang inthere.

In the meantime, there was a sense

of relief among telescope protestersthat they wont have to worry aboutconstruction resuming on land manyhold sacred.

I think people are going to want togo [up to the summit] and rejoice andwe support that, Pisciotta said. Butwe want people to remember that its atemple and they need to uphold theirbest behavior and know that they arewalking in the gods realm. ... Just havereverence.

While some protesters were cele-brating the ruling, others were in courtfor charges related to being arrested forblocking construction crews fromaccessing the telescope site.

Wurdeman called on the governor tourge that all charges be dismissed.

There is no plan to ask the countyprosecutor to dismiss those prosecu-tions, said a statement from Gov.David Iges office. These trials arecurrently ongoing and were not goingto interfere with the judicial process.

At first blush, the idea that aconstruction contractor shouldhave a Facebook page may seemridiculous. Isnt Facebook the place for

selfies, photos of drinking parties,vacation brags, photos of cutebabies-puppies-kittens and every-thing else that has nothing to dowith business and construction?That may have been true years ago,but Facebook has evolved andchanged. As of the third quarter 2015,

there are 1.55 billion monthlyactive users making Facebookthe most popular social networkplatform worldwide. There arenow more than 40 million smallbusiness pages and 41 percent ofU.S. small businesses useFacebook. And all those numbersare growing. Facebook is solidlyhere.Used smartly, Facebook can be

a powerful sales, marketing andcommunication tool for the con-

struction contractor. However, aFacebook page is NOT a substituteor replacement for a company Website. The company Web site should

explain and promote the compa-nys market expertise and experi-ence that supports the contractorservices offered. It can includecompany history, equipment lists,descriptions of current and pastprojects, profiles of key companymanagement, and the contractorservices provided. Quite simply,the company Web site is the go-tosource for everything from learn-ing about the company, what theydo, how they can help, and whythey may be the best choice towork with. And its the first placepeople turn to for looking up a

phone number, email address, orthe location of a company office orservice center. A construction company

Facebook page has a different, dis-tinct role from the company Website. It can serve as the social gluethat connects employees, cus-tomers, and prospects to the com-pany. The impression can be posi-tive, human and professional.Think of the company Facebook

page as being the evolutionary suc-cessor of the traditional printed-paper company newsletter. Theprinted newsletter, which wasmailed and/or tucked into the pay-check envelope, and even the morecurrent electronic or emailed ver-sion, was created to acknowledgeand celebrate achievements,

accomplishments and significantevents. It documented and chroni-cled everything of importance,becoming a cumulative history ofthe company and its employeesand customers. A contractor Facebook page,

like its predecessor newsletter, canmake an employee feel appreciatedby the company they work for andproud of the work being done.Customers will learn about thepeople they connect with and willfeel better about the companytheyve hired. The personal canhelp solidify the business relation-ship. In its analysis, San Francisco-

based VerticalResponse, an onlinemarketing tools firm, suggests an80/20 rule for Facebook content

being posted on a company page.Eighty percent of posts should besocial and 20 percent can pertain toservices, projects, and what thebusiness can offer customers.Here are suggestions for social

content that can be posted: Employee milestones mar-

riages, births, graduations, retire-ments, promotions, and anniver-sary dates of employees (includethe one-year anniversary of thenew employee as well as the oldtimers 10, 15, 20-year anniver-sary). Accomplishments include

any industry awards received,workshops and special trainingreceived (including vendor/suppli-er training sessions), and anyregional or national trade showsthat employees were sent to. Ifemployees are being sent to bigshow, such as World of Concrete,name the employees going and theproducts, systems, or services theyare commissioned to check out andreport back on.

Used smartly, Facebook can be a powerful sales, marketingand communication tool for the construction contractor.

How Contractors Can Make Social Media Work for Them


Low Level Pumping Station Work Begins on Lake MeadBy Irwin RapoportCEG CORRESPONDENT

As a companion to Intake No. 3on Lake Mead, the SouthernNevada Water Authority (SNWA)is building the low lake levelpumping station, a project whosecost is estimated at $650 million, inthe Lake Mead NationalRecreation Area, just 500 ft. (152.4m) from the new intake.To ensure access to southern

Nevadas primary water supply ismaintained and water demands aremet, stated a press release, theSNWA Board of Directorsapproved an initial constructionagreement in May 2015, to beginthe development of a low lakelevel pumping station. The newpumping station, which was rec-ommended for construction by acitizens advisory committee, willwork alongside the SNWAs thirdintake. The contract to build the station

was awarded to Barnard of NevadaInc., and its delivery is scheduledfor 2020.The station is needed to contin-

ue supplying water demands at lowlake levels.Ongoing drought conditions in

the Colorado River Basin havecaused Lake Meads elevation tofall by more than 130 ft. (39.6 m)since 2000, stated the projectsfact sheet. In response, ColoradoRiver users throughout the basinare working together to increasewater conservation and minimizedrought impacts. In southernNevada, conservation has reducedwater use by 30 percent since thedrought began, despite a popula-tion increase of more than a half-million people during that sametime period. While southern Nevada contin-

ues to do its part, the drought isntover, it added. Drought forecastspublished by the Bureau ofReclamation show that LakeMeads water level is at risk offalling below 1,000 ft. (304.8 m)within the next decade. If that hap-pens, the communitys intakepumps, which draw water fromLake Mead, will become inopera-ble.The SNWA currently operates

two pump stations, both of whichare currently 1,221 ft. (372.16 m)above sea level full lake capac-

ity. The lakes current level is 1,078ft. (328.6 m) above sea level, andIntake Pumping Station No. 1completed in the 1970s, has anoperating range down to 1,050 ft.(320 m) above sea level. IntakePumping Station No. 2, built in theearly 2000s, has an operating rangedown to 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) abovesea level.L3 will ensure southern

Nevada maintains access to its pri-mary water supplies in LakeMead, states the fact sheet, evenif the lake dips below elevation895 the point at which [the]Hoover Dam can no longer releasewater downstream to California,Arizona, and Mexico. Low-levelelevations also may require addi-tional water treatment.Bronson Mack, of SNWA pub-

lic outreach and media relations,goes further.These projects reinforce the

importance of ensuring that we as awater agency can continue to pro-

vide water to our customers underany operating conditions in theColorado River, he said. In theevent that Lake Mead continues todecline, this is the type of infra-structure we need. Were reallypushing and stretching those lim-its. The operating range of L3PS

will be down to elevation 875 ft.(266.7 m) above sea level.Erika Moonin, the SNWAs

project manager, explained someof the design features.We have a 525 feet-plus deep

shaft, about 26 feet in diameter todrill and blast, she said, and alarge underground floor bank almost 400 feet long that needs tobe created, along with nearly 34 approximately eight-feet in diame-ter well shafts to be drilled.Those shafts are going to be 500feet deep. The equipping of it willinclude large submersible pumpsand the mechanical and electricalsystems that go with them. The

pumping capacity is going to be900 million gallons per-day(MGD).A key design challenge is the sit-

ing of the station due to its proxim-ity to a major, inactive fault line.The plan was to put it on the

Intake No. 3 site and it has to be onthat location, said Moonin, andwe are going to shoe-fly it inbetween the faults to not encounterany fault issues. On the construc-tion side, were looking to mini-mize the risk of drilling the wellshafts, which we know are going topresent some major challenges.

On the mechanical side, thepumps are another challengingaspect,This is very sophisticated

equipment: large deep-set sub-mersible vertical pumps and dou-ble-section vertical turbines, saidMoonin. We already purchasedsome large submersible pumpsbetween 2004 and 2006 and theyhave been installed in Intake

Pumping Station No. 2. Were con-tacting three different manufactur-ers to provide one pump each andwe are going to test them. The sta-tion is a unique design at thesecapacities 30 million gallonsper-day and about 525 feet of lift.Barnard will be installing the

pumps upon the successful com-pletion of the second work pack-age negotiations.The planning for the station

began in 2005, the same time asIntake No. 3. Both infrastructureprojects were paired.But in 2008, when the econo-

my took a downturn, saidMoonin, we deferred the pump-ing station and it was a good thingbecause of the continued concernof climate change and LakeMeads level going down. Thatgave us the opportunity to revisitthe criteria for the pumping stationand now it is deeper than what weoriginally planned. Its bigger and

ODOT Preserves Historic Rock Wall With Careful RepairJalving said. The basalt was mined right onsite. Of course it was much easier to get therock you needed right on site other than hav-ing it shipped. Otherwise, youd have had toput it on flatbeds and have it hauled by don-keys. It would have been quite the situationto get this up there. But it was mined rightthere. Its got different depths as it undulateswith the topography.Sections of the wall have fallen into the

ocean. Those are being replaced with newrock. But in other places, the rock is beingdeconstructed, then put back together withnew mortar. Much of the work will be doneby hand, and what equipment there is on thesite is generally small, such as an extended-reach forklift, small propane warehouseforklift, large air compressor, two 40-poundjackhammers and scaffolding.Were using equipment, Jalving said.

But were not using big equipment. Thereis not much land up there, just two lanes and

a couple of pullouts. Theres no way we canuse super-sized machinery.They also are doing much of the work by

hand because of the historic nature of thewall, which is eligible for listing on NationalRecord of Historic Places. The biggest challenge is the actual phys-

ical deconstruction of the wall, having tofind the correct size replacement rock, howthe wall needs to go back together so wehave a nice strong wall and are doing it in afiscally responsible manner, Jalving said.Also, the challenge of the deconstruction ofa historic resource. We have to find the rightquarry to get the right stone. We need tothink about the mortar mix we are going touse so its not going to harm the historicwall.

ODOT from page 1

see ODOT page 36

When constructed more than eight decades ago, the wall was part of a highwayproject that was the most expensive mile of highway ever built by the Bureau ofPublic Roads, and dubbed as the half-million-dollar-mile.

The basalt wall is one of four rockwork walls on the coast, and is the second longestspan of the four, stretching four-tenths of a mile from milepost 178.82 to 179.18 onthe central coast just north of the city of Florence.

Built some 400 ft. (122 m) above the PacificOcean, the basalt rock wall stretches asmuch as 20 ft. (61 m) deep on the seawardside, but stands only 12 in. to 3 ft. (30 cm to.91 m) in height on the roadway.

The project calls for the replacement of Jersey barrier, installed in recent years,with rail that is more in keeping with the original historic rail.

The wall features two turnouts and arepeated crenellated parapet design.

CLEANFIX Launches Intelligent Hydraulic Cooling FansCLEANFIX North America Ltd.

announced the launch of its intelligent newhydraulic cooling fans used in a wide rangeof agricultural, forestry, construction, wasteand recycling equipment to prevent prob-lems associated with overheating and ineffi-ciency of the engine. The key benefits to cus-tomers are more power on the PTO shaft andon the wheels, fuel savings and noise reduc-tion as engine speed can be reduced. Ben Haegele, CEO of CLEANFIX North

America Ltd., said We invested a lot inresearch and development and are verypleased to add the hydraulic equivalents ofour successful reversible fan series to ourexisting product offer. He added that the complete range of

reversible fans, (from 12.6 to 51 in. [32 cm to130 cm]) is now available as a hydraulic version.CLEANFIX now offers the standard

reversing fan with hydraulic actuation(HSC-Series) in addition to the standardreversing function, the thermal-controlledvariable blade pitch controlled fan (HVP-Series with wax elements) plus a fully elec-tronically controlled CLEANFIX-Hytronicfan (HT-Series). The latter controls the exactblade angle and thus the cooling perform-ance by using CAN bus or the CLEANFIXelectronics with an integrated Hall sensor.CLEANFIX electronics also can be replacedby the vehicle or engine electronics. Customer support is provided by the

experienced team of CLEANFIX engineersand its global partners during the installationprocess. With regards to the many controland switching cycles of the engine, specialattention was paid to the longevity of thefans, according to the manufacturer.

A Revolution That Leaves No TracksKeeping the system free of leaks in par-

ticular at high speeds, high temperatures andpressures up to 50 bar is a challenge that theCLEANFIX smart-seal system meets in the

new reversible fans. This intelligent sealingsystem ensures maximum operating safetythrough the new integrated leakage oil recir-culation both for the piston seal as well asfor the rotary intake. Thus, the CLEANFIXsystem remains tight should leakage occur.

The Comparison Is WorthwhileThe CLEANFIX reversible fans promise

maximum efficiency. To reach this objec-tive, the control range has been extendeddownwards and upwards in recent years. For

CLEANFIX customers, this means that eithermore fuel is saved or that the air flow rate is fur-ther increased, according to the manufacturer.Many comparative measurements of cus-

tomers and manufacturers as well as tests byindependent institutes, such as the KarlsruheInstitute of Technology (Germany), certifythat the CLEANFIX reversible fans save upto 30 percent of the drive power in compari-son to electronically-controlled standard vis-cous fans, while delivering the same coolingcapacity. This can be very easily measuredfor tractors equipped with a dynamometer.Another focus was on small installationspace and minimum weight.

Maximum Customer OrientationCLEANFIX offers the right solution, no

matter how complex and diverse thedemands of off-highway vehicles, accordingto the manufacturer. For all regulation and control require-

ments there either is the thermostatic control,an electro-pneumatic or an electronic-hydraulic solution. Whether the customerwants to activate the cleaning mode bypressing a button or at timed intervals,CLEANFIX will have the best solution. For more information, call 855/738-3267

or visit www.cleanfix.org.(This story also can be found on

Bobcat Expands Attachment Versatility With SpreaderBobcat Company has broad-

ened its utility vehicle attach-ment versatility with a newspreader, available for ModelYear (MY) 15 3400, 3600 and3650 utility vehicles. This is thefirst spreader attachment specif-ically designed for use withselect Bobcat utility vehicles,and is specially fitted for thecargo box.The spreader is securely

mounted in the utility vehiclescargo box, and is designed toefficiently spread sand and saltfor winter maintenance tasks.Powered by a 12-volt DC drivemotor, the new spreader can dis-tribute salt or sand from 5 to38 ft. (1.5 to 11.6 m) from thespinner wheel to melt snow andice from surfaces. Utility vehicleoperators can spread salt andsand on sidewalks, trails, drive-ways, intersections and parkinglots, where larger vehicles often

cannot access because of spacerestrictions.

Precise Placement,Control

Bobcat utility vehicle opera-tors can precisely distribute saltor sand without leaving theirseat. Two variable-speed dialson the dash-mounted controlallow for independent adjust-ment of the auger and spinnercontrol. A three-stage baffle isanother feature that allows oper-ators to adjust the material flowfor proper material granularity.The rust-resistant, double-

wall poly-molded hopper isultra-durable and ruggedenough for ice and snow appli-cations. It can hold up to 10.6cu. ft. (.3 cu m) of heaped (7.8cu. ft. [.2 cu m] struck [level])salt or sand. In addition, a meshscreen at the top of the hopperallows for large chunks of sand

and salt to be filtered at an evenand consistent flow. A vibratorfeature also helps reduce thebridging of material for a con-stant and even flow.

Easy InstallationBuildings and grounds pro-

fessionals, homeowners withacreage and snow removal spe-cialists will appreciate how easyit is to install and remove thespreader from the cargo box.Attaching and detaching thespreader can be a one-person jobbecause of the pallet fork slots.A convenient spring-latch lock-ing mechanism easily allows thespreaders spinner to be removedfor storage and cleaning.For more information, visit

The Cool Flow hydraulic oil cooler from LoftnessSpecialized Equipment greatly reduces the risk of overheat-ing in skid steers and hydraulically powered attachmentswhen operating in demanding applications and hot workenvironments. The automatic thermostat-controlled fan pro-vides adequate cooling to the system whenever needed toboost machine efficiency, even when an attachment is notbeing used, according to the manufacturer.Unlike other hydraulic coolers that are mounted near the

attachment, the Cool Flow attaches to the roof of a skid steercab where it is less susceptible to vibration, back pressure,debris and potential impact damage. It is specially engi-neered to allow full hydraulic flow to the attachment in eitherdirection without risk of damage to the cooler. This featureallows operators to run the attachment in reverse when need-ed, and it also protects the unit in case hydraulic hoses areaccidentally reversed.A self-cleaning design helps the Cool Flow run efficient-

ly. To further simplify maintenance, the bottom screen slidesout for easy cleaning, and the hinged fan assembly can beraised to access the cooling core.The Cool Flow has up to 40-gpm (151 Lpm) flow capac-

ity and is compatible with all brands of skid steers. Operatorscan keep the unit continuously mounted to provide coolingfor multiple attachments used on one skid steer.For more information, call 800/828-7624 or visit
