The MartinLuther King
Jr., Boulevardviaduct was
built inPortland in
1936.
By Rebecca RagainCEG CORRESPONDENT
The longest concrete slab, beam and girder-style structure in Oregon is being replaced bya new structure that meets modern standards.
The Martin Luther King Jr., Boulevard
viaduct was built in Portland in 1936 byHoffman Construction Company at the cost ofhalf a million dollars. The structure sits on theedge of a wetland area that had been filled withdebris, as deep as 66 ft. (20 m) in places, froma nearby sawmill.

Driven by record federal investment in sur-face transportation, increased spending throughthe American Recovery & Reinvestment Act(ARRA) and continued easing in material prices,the highway construction market is expected togrow eight percent in 2010, according to theAmerican Road & Transportation BuildersAssociation’s (ARTBA) annual economic fore-cast.
ARTBA Vice President of Policy &Economist Alison Premo Black said the value ofhighway, street and bridge construction (from allsources) put in place should reach $90.5 billionin 2010, up from about $83.9 billion this year.
Black cautioned, however, that the boost tothe market could be temporary. Uncertainty overthe reauthorization of the multi-year federal sur-face transportation bill and future growth of theoverall U.S. economy, along with the end ofstimulus funds, will determine if there is a “softlanding” in 2011 or a more significant downturn,Black said.
The association’s 2010 forecast takes intoaccount current economic conditions, federalinvestment and state and local funding. The$41.2 billion in 2009 federal highway obliga-tions, as well as the additional $26.7 billionavailable through the ARRA, will provide thefoundations for growth in 2010. Although thereare general concerns regarding state and localspending, states are expected to continue to pro-vide matching funds for the traditional federalaid program investment and spend their ARRAfunding.
“Despite the current economic environmentand budget challenges, 38 states have increasedthe real value of their contract awards betweenJanuary and October 2009 compared to the sametime period in 2008,” Black noted. “The realvalue of contract awards for highways andbridges is nearly $50 billion so far, an increase of$5 billion and an important leading indicator forthe 2010 construction season.”
Another indicator of work to come, she said,

SEATTLE (AP) Designers have beendreaming about what the shoreline onSeattle’s central waterfront could look like ifthe Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall werereplaced.
In November, the city council appropriat-ed $225 million to make one of those proj-ects a reality: replacement of the approxi-mately 3,750-ft. seawall between
Washington and Pine streets.Teams of consultants are forming in hopes
of winning the contract for a project that willhelp shape the waterfront’s character for thenext century and beyond.
Replacement of the seawall is one part of$4.24 billion project to replace the earth-quake-damaged viaduct.

Sanitation District 1 (SD1) ofNorthern Kentucky broke ground inSeptember on a 6-mi.-long (9.6 km)tunnel intended to convey sewageacross western Boone County to a newtreatment plant on the banks of theOhio River. The gravity sewer projectwill route flow to a new 20 million gal-lon-per-day Western RegionalWastewater Reclamation Facility.When completed, ultimate peak hourlyflow can reach as high as 177 milliongal. per day (gpd), with average dailyflow expected to initially be more in therealm of 10 million gpd.
As Jeff Olsen, vice president of HDREngineering and project manager ofthis job, explained, the project will pro-vide relief for an overburdened collec-tion and treatment system and can beused to store up to 14 million gallons ofexcess water after heavy rains.
“There’s a significant wet weathercomponent” to this sanitary sewer, heexplained, adding that it is designed toaccommodate wet weather issues andalleviate the burden on the Dry Creektreatment plant in Kenton County.
Other benefits include relief to exist-ing interceptor sewers, with addedcapacity for future growth; operationalsimplicity, requiring minimal mainte-

Annual Chicago Construction Expo Draws Nears
By Lori LovelyCEG CORRESPONDENT
For the third time in 20 years, Mike Myszkowski,Illinois Department of Transportation engineer, isresurfacing the Bishop Ford Freeway just outside ofChicago. In 1989, a “surface fix” was performed,putting down a 2-in. (5 cm) layer of asphalt. In 1998,the work needed to be repeated, due to wear causedby heavy traffic. Nearly 10 years later, the road onceagain needs repair. The current rehabilitation project involves resur-facing all lanes and shoulders of the 9-mi. (14.5 km)stretch of freeway between Martin Luther KingDrive and 159th Street, as well as pavement patch-ing, bridge repairs, new guardrail installation andexit/entrance ramp resurfacing — including theStony Island Feeder Ramp.One of nearly 250 “shovel-ready” constructionprojects in Illinois, the $27.5 million job, funded bythe Stimulus Plan — President Obama’s AmericanRecovery and Reinvestment Act, is a joint ventureheaded by Chicago area-based Gallagher Asphaltand K-Five Construction.

drag on the construction economy Here’ the deal: Though the Senate agreed with the House at the very last moment to aone-month extension of existing transportation funding authority, senatorsfailed to include a provision to roll back funding rescissions stipulated inthe last six-year bill. The $8.7 billion in rescission money was a book-keeping method of understating the true cost of SAFETEA-LU, whichwas passed in 2005 (two years into the six years of its effective authority).The sleight of hand was needed to help win legislative support. Howeverthe scheduled rescissions never were voided, as planned, and inadvertent-ly became effective Oct. 1.“For most states, it is not hard cash money, just promise money” said

New transportation funding is neces-sary to improve the nation’s infrastructureand spur a recovery of the constructionequipment industry, especially in hard-hitstates like Illinois. The rally was followed
by a caravan of construction equipment,idled by the lack of federal support, parad-ing around Soldier Field to urge the feder-al government to stop job loss.“The construction equipment industryis in a deep depression and we have lost33,000 jobs in Illinois and 37 percent ofour workforce nationwide the past fewyears,” said Toby Mack, president andCEO of the Associated EquipmentDistributors (AED), based in Oak Brook,Ill.

Project 2 picks up where the first project endsand involves pavement patching and rehabilita-tion of 42 bridges on I-696 in Oakland Countybetween Halsted and Cam bell-Hilton roads. Project 3 focuses on rehabilitating 22 bridgeson I-696, 15 of which are located within the I-696/Mound Road interchange.Project 4 includes rehabilitation of six bridgesand extensive pavement repairs to I-696between H yes and N eman roads in M combCount Also included are safety upgrades andlighting replacement on the median and ramps.OveFor all practical purposes, the $67 millionoverall project has been divided into two con-tracts — east and west — with two prime con-tractors: D s Excavating out of G ant, M ch.,on the west contract and C.

Third-Generation Texas Firm Tackles Pipeline Project
Few families can claim the pipelining experience of theGorman family of Perryton, Texas. From their home base inthe panhandle of northwestern Texas, three generations ofGormans have been involved in building pipelines foralmost 75 years.
H.V. Gorman traveled much of the country during the’30s, ’40s and ’50s working for several major pipeline con-struction companies.
Eventually H.V. tired of being away from home, so in1962, he and Floyd Phillips started their own pipeline con-tracting company, Gorman-Phillips Construction. A coupleof years later, H.V. bought out Phillips, but retained theGorman-Phillips name.
In 1976, H.V.’s son, Kenneth Gorman, became president.He ran the company until his death in 1992, at which timehis wife, Judith Ann, and son, Todd, took over. Today, ToddGorman runs day-to-day operations as president of Gorman-Phillips and Judith Ann serves as CEO.
“I’m extremely proud of the job that Todd’s done,” saidJudith Ann. “We haven’t missed a beat. In fact, Todd hasexpanded our services and grown the business. That’s prettyimpressive for a third-generation company that was alreadywell-established.”
“I guess you could say pipeline construction is in ourblood,” remarked Todd Gorman. “My dad had me out onjobs when I was 15. I always knew this was what I wanted
to do, so in 1983, I quit college after a couple of years andcame back here to work. I’ve been here ever since.”
Gathering Systems, Mainline ConstructionGorman-Phillips got its start by setting compressors and
expanded into laying natural gas gathering-system pipe inthe late ’70s and early ’80s. The company, which begandoing mainline projects four or five years ago, has workedfor most of the major oil and gas firms in the region, andmany independents as well.
Today, it offers a complete list of pipeline construction andrepair services.
“We lay gathering systems and mainlines using steel orplastic pipe from two-inch up to 24-in., and we still buildcompressor stations,” explained Todd Gorman. “A gather-ing-system pipeline may be as short as 500 feet and a main-line could be 100 miles or more and include all manner ofriver or road crossings.
“With our experience, we’re comfortable doing virtuallyany size or type of pipeline job.”
Gorman-Phillips does about 150 gathering-systempipelines and two or three mainlines per year. Their territory,which includes Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Colorado,Kansas and Nebraska, offers a full gamut of ground condi-tions — from soft sand to hard dirt and creek bottoms tosolid rock.
“Laying pipeline is somewhat like building a highway,”said Gorman. “We deal with what’s there; follow the topog-raphy with its bends and turns and try to build a job that’sgoing to last a long time.”
A job last year in southeastern Oklahoma illustrates thechallenges of pipeline work.
Gorman-Phillips laid about 60 mi. (96 km) of 16-in. (40cm) line through countless hills, creeks and ponds, as well asboth the Wichita and Canadian Rivers.
“I think we had 2,500 bends on that job,” Gormanrecalled. “Almost every other joint was a bend. It was arough job but we have what we believe are the best crews inthe business and we enjoy challenging projects like that.”
Employees as “Difference-Makers”Gorman-Phillips currently has about 65 full-time employ-
ees. That figure swells to a couple of hundred when there’slots of work.
“The 65 include our longtime superintendents and fore-men, and we do our best to keep them on full time becausethey are key to our success,” acknowledged Gorman.
“The other hands are what I would call long-term/tempo-rary. Although we’d like to keep them all on all the time, ifwe don’t have the work, we can’t afford to do that. But it’sgratifying that when we do get busy and need to hire again,
see KIRBY page 27
Gorman-Phillips’ pipeline work consists of laying both gathering-system and mainline pipe as well as building compressor stations. The company owns numerousKomatsu excavators and dozers. “The best thing about Komatsu is reliability,” said President Todd Gorman. “Major problems are almost non-existent.”

Franklin Construction Adds Bobcat Iron to Its FleetThe recession hasn’t slowed Mark Wanke of
Franklin Construction, San Antonio, Texas. Thecompany recently closed on a construction con-tract that will keep its crews busy well into 2010.In response to the growing demand, MarkWanke is adding Bobcat compact equipment tohis fleet.
Wanke has been in the construction businessfor more than 20 years and has extensive experi-ence with operating Bobcat equipment. Thecompany owns a Bobcat S330 skid steer loaderand a variety of attachments. Rather than hiresubcontractors or continue renting compactexcavators, Wanke bought one of the first M-Series E32 excavators from Bobcat of SanAntonio. He immediately put the machine to useto complete utility sleeving and drainage taskson multifamily residential construction job sites.
When asked about some of the differencesbetween other compact excavators and his newE32, this is what Wanke had to say.
“I noticed right away that the machine runs alot smoother,” he said. He cited the followingexample of the improved digging performance.“I worked on a project last year where we previ-ously did some excavating, and I dug in thesame area with the same general conditions.We’re in a heavy drought right now, and theground dries out and gets very hard. It’s almostlike digging in rock when we don’t have any
moisture in the ground. I tried to dig 30 inchesdeep and the last six inches were really hard toget through and cut. It drained the machine. TheE32 cut through it without any problem; it oper-ated a lot smoother.”
Auto Idle Another benefit of the new E32 that stood out
to Wanke was the auto-idle feature, which auto-matically idles the engine after four seconds.
“You don’t have to turn the throttle downbecause it automatically does it for you,” Wankesaid. “Then, it goes right back into the power,where you had it set previously, once you startoperating the equipment again.”
This saves fuel, lowers noise levels, andimproves job site communication, according toWanke.
Smoother Turns While MovingThe new auto-shift feature on M-Series exca-
vators was one more perk that Wanke recog-nized.
“When I’m moving in high speed, I don’thave to take it out of that mode to make a turn,”he said. “The excavator automatically down-shifts … I don’t have to manually go into the lowrange.”
This story was reprinted with permission fromBobcat WorkSaver Magazine, Fall 2009 Issue.
The Bobcat E32 excavator has a dig depth of 10 ft. 3 in. (3.2 m) and a dumpheight of 11 ft. (3.3 m).

The Asphalt InstituteCelebrates 90 Years
By John Davis and Nancy GriffinSPECIAL TO CEG
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 18
(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 asteady stream of information about the prop-er uses of asphalt. Between 1930 and 1937,the Institute published 155 booklets andpamphlets 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.

most guys who’ve worked for us in the past come back to us.“Our employees are difference-makers and we believe
they are what separates us from our competition,” he added.“Because of their talent, experience and dedication, we’reable to complete jobs faster than our competitors. Thatmeans we can submit lower bids and still make money. I’dsay that’s our claim to fame — we do quality work and wedo it fast.”
Lance Suitor is Gorman-Phillips’ general superintendentin charge of coordinating equipment and crews. Phil Burnettis construction superintendent responsible for mainline proj-ects. Todd’s wife, Sheri Gorman, helps out in the office,assisting Office Manager Rhonda Murry.
“Many of our top guys have been here for 20 to 30 years,or more,” noted Gorman. “Many are also second-generation.Phil Burnett’s father, Ernest, worked for my grandfatherback in the ’50s. Eddie Overton is one of my key superin-tendents and his son is now also a superintendent for us. Wetry to take good care of all of our people because they takegood care of us.”
Reliable EquipmentBeyond a talented and experienced work force, Gorman
cites a topnotch equipment fleet, including many Komatsumachines, as a key factor in Gorman-Phillips’ success.
“I bought my first Komatsu piece, a used PC300LC-6track hoe, about seven or eight years ago. I admit, I boughtthat first one based largely on price — I thought it was a bar-gain.
Turns out it was. We still have that initial piece and use itregularly. That demonstrated to me the quality of Komatsuequipment.”
Today, Gorman-Phillips has six Komatsu hydraulic exca-vators (PC300s, PC220s and PC200s) and six Komatsu doz-ers (all D65s).
“We’ve had really good experience with our Komatsus,”confirmed Gorman. “The best thing is their reliability. Werarely have to work on them other than regular maintenanceand wear items. Major problems are almost nonexistent.
“I believe the D65 is the best dozer on the market,” headded. “It’s stronger and quicker than the top competitor,plus we get a much longer life from the track and undercar-riage.
Fuel consumption and ease of operation are also pluses forthe D65.”
“We like the Komatsu excavators for their speed, powerand versatility,” noted Superintendent Phil Burnett. “The300s are strong enough to dig out hard rock while the 200sare extremely quick. We had a brand-new competitive exca-vator comparable in size to the PC300. It’s one of the best-known brands out there and still had the plastic on the seat,but all my operators would walk by it and go to the PC300,which was quite a bit older. They preferred the Komatsubecause it was so much faster, they could get a lot more workdone with it.”
“We’ve worked with Kirby-Smith for many years and arevery pleased they are now the Komatsu dealer here in northTexas,” said Gorman. “My dad used to rent equipment fromEd Kirby when he had work in Oklahoma. They have a largeinventory and excellent service. I’m really happy to see themin Amarillo now because it’s two hours closer thanOklahoma City.”
Continued Growth the GoalAs in much of the construction economy, things are slow
right now for Gorman-Phillips, but as Todd points out, it’snot like the company hasn’t seen downturns before.
“Energy is a cyclical, boom-or-bust type of industry. AtGorman-Phillips, we’ve ridden the highs and survived thelows. We’ve always been a conservative company and we’llcontinue to operate that way, but down the road, I want us togrow. I’m certainly not satisfied yet. I’d like to see us domore and larger mainline projects. There’s a lot more bigpipe to be put in the ground and we want to be involved inputting it there.”
Gorman said he thinks growth is possible because of thereputation Gorman-Phillips has earned through the years.
“We’ve been around for a long time. People in the indus-try know who we are and know we deliver for our clients.Our goal on every job is to put pipe in the ground faster thanthe other guys. As long as we continue to provide our clientswith industry-leading quality and consistently beat theirschedules, we’re optimistic that we’ll be in demand when themarket for natural gas turns back up.”

is the high level of obligations for ARRA funding — morethan 77 percent of stimulus funds have been obligated, butonly $4 billion, or 16 percent of the total funding availablehas been paid to contractors.
“When you add it all up, there is a lot of work to be com-pleted in the coming year,” Black said.
Although the forecast for 2010 is market growth,ARTBA cautioned it does not mean that highway andbridge contractors and suppliers will avoid struggling inthe current economic environment or that the growth willbe even across states. There will still be issues with accessto credit, fierce competition and the general economy.Contractors and state transportation departments also areexpected to be cautious in hiring and spending decisionswhile waiting for Congress to pass a new federal surfacetransportation bill.
The longer term real market outlook will depend on theU.S. economy and the federal-aid program.
“The best scenario would be a strong reauthorization ofthe federal highway and transit program and real econom-ic growth that can help spur state and local investment,”Black said. “Under this ideal situation, we could see realmarket growth approaching $118 billion in 2015.”
The ARTBAforecast also addressed other transportationmodes.
• Airport Runways: The ARRA will help push up thevalue of airport runway work to $5.2 billion in 2010, a 3.4percent over 2009. With the reauthorization of the federalaviation programs remaining stalled, Black predicts the air-port construction market will decline in 2011 and beyondwithout increased federal investment in the AirportImprovement Program.
• Railroads & Transit: Increased investment in newstarts over the last few years is beginning to pay off for thesubway, light rail and railroad construction market. Thevalue of construction work should hit $13 billion in 2010,a 3.1 percent increase over 2009 levels.

advice for the more than 100 consultants and contractors whohave sought information on the project from the city: “be cut-ting edge.” He said to reconnect downtown with the water-front, the new wall must be very different than the verticalone that exists today.
SDOT put out a request for qualifications from seawalldesign teams in November. The deadline to submit has beenextended three weeks to Jan. 8, according to Powers, becausethere have been a lot of questions from consultants. He saidthe extension allows city officials to respond to thoseinquiries and say more about the qualities the city is seekingin a team.
Powers and Bob Chandler, SDOT’s program manager forthe Alaskan Way Viaduct and seawall replacement program,said different teams may be hired for different stretches of theseawall. Teams likely will include waterfront planners,marine biologists, architects, urban planners, engineers andcommunity outreach specialists.
“We really want to come at this a little differently than justan engineering job,” Chandler said.
Construction bids will be sought when design is complete.Test construction could begin in 2012, but the bulk of thework is expected to start in 2013 and last three years, withsubstantial completion in 2015, according to Chandler. In late2015 or 2016, the city will begin a projected $123 millionproject to create public space along the waterfront.
The seawall was built between 1916 and 1936. Some areasalong the wall are shallow while others are deep. Powers saidthe new seawall must respond to different conditions alongthe shoreline.
The winning team will come up with science-based plansthat create new habitat while allowing the public “to reallyexperience the waters of Puget Sound,” Powers said.
These kinds of ideas were floated six years ago whenAllied Arts, a Seattle group focused in part on urban design,hosted some charettes in anticipation of the viaduct and sea-wall being replaced. More than 100 designers and plannerscame up with myriad ideas, including “habitat islands,” thatwould bring pedestrians to Elliott Bay.
“There’s a huge amount of excitement in the design com-munity about the possibilities for the waterfront,” an AlliedArts representative said at the time. “People see this as a wayof reconnecting us to a part of our history and future. We have
this opportunity to create a new space for people and to cre-ate a front porch for the city.”
The seawall is a vital piece of Seattle’s infrastructure andreplacing it is complicated. It was built to support rail androad access to shipping piers. Downtown developed with thewall in place and still relies on it. The wall supports and pro-tects the Union Pacific and BNSF rail lines, as well as majorutilities and the viaduct.
The wall consists of un-reinforced concrete sections alongthe central waterfront. Between each section are timber-sup-ported concrete sidewalks. Despite its importance, the wallwas built on loose soils and the design did not account forearthquakes. And there’s another problem: marine organismscalled gribbles and toredos are eating away at the timber plat-form, increasing the wall’s vulnerability to an earthquake.
In addition to keeping the supports in place during con-struction, crews must be aware of some timing issues. Due toenvironmental constraints, in-water work can’t be done dur-ing the February-to-June fish window. And, due to commer-cial concerns, work along the promenade needs to be limitedduring the summer tourist season.
“It doesn’t make it easy, but we think we can work throughthis,” Chandler said.
Another issue is what materials to use for the new wall.SDOT and the University of Washington are conductingresearch. Habitat test panels were installed in 2008 to deter-mine what shapes and textures best serve the marine habitat.In addition to the panel installation, “troughs” that extend outfrom the face of the seawall were created. The intent is tomimic shallow water habitats that have largely been lostalong the Seattle shoreline. The UW is sampling marine lifeto measure the effectiveness of the panels and troughs.
“Each section [of the new seawall] is likely to be differ-ent,” said Powers. “It’s much more than just concrete andsteel that we’re going to be looking at.”
The Washington-to-Pine seawall is one portion of thework. Other parts of the seawall also will need to be replaced,and Chandler thinks that could cost $200 million. It’s unclearwhen that work will occur.
Powers said the city needs to get the seawall along thewaterfront done first because it is vulnerable in an earth-quake.
“We need to move forward with that to provide for thesafety of the citizens of Seattle.”

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

ODOTHits Stage 3 of Viaduct Replacement Project in Ore.“That got covered over with miscella-
neous dirt fill, and that’s what they camethrough in the 30s and drove piling through,”said John D. Smith, the Oregon Departmentof Transportation’s (ODOT) assistant projectmanager of the viaduct replacement project.
That worked fine for the amount of trafficin the 30s, but the design couldn’t handle thecoming years’ increase in frequency, sizeand weight of vehicles. The viaduct, whichserves southbound traffic on Highway 99E,a major shipping and commuter route, beganto settle.
About ten years ago, a distinct dip in thebridge developed where a bent had settled 6to 7-in. (15 to 17 cm). Truck traffic wasdetoured around the structure and ODOTstarted making plans to replace it and a 1965sister structure that carries 99E’s northboundtraffic.
The design process was drawn out, for acouple of reasons. Because the city ofPortland plans to take ownership of the newbridge when it is completed, the city govern-ment has been involved with the design.
In addition, the bridge is designated as a“lifeline structure,” meaning that it must bedesigned to survive disasters, specificallyhigh-magnitude earthquakes, so that emer-
gency vehicles and suppliers can travel thehighway as they respond to the crisis. Thecriteria required to plan for that contingencykept changing, affecting the in-progressbridge design.
Other challenges include the fact that theconstruction site is restricted to a very con-fined area; in some places, construction ishappening less than 5 ft. (1.5 m) away fromexisting buildings. Concerned about impact-ing local businesses, officials opted not topurchase and demolish nearby buildings to
accommodate construction. To account for the tight quarters, com-
bined with the fact that ODOT was requiredto maintain two lanes of traffic in each direc-tion at all times during the constructionprocess, the project was “sliced and diced,”as Smith puts it, into six stages.
“We’re in Stage 3 now, which involves alot of moving traffic around and whatnot tobuild bridges,” said Tobin Smith, projectmanager of the contractor, Max J. KuneyCo. of Spokane, Wash. “There are two tem-porary bridges we had to build that traffic isrunning on right now.”
Tobin Smith said that there’s “a little ofeverything” going on now at the site, frompouring facing for MSE walls to drivingpiles, from pouring columns to forming upcross beams. The contractor has an officestaff of seven stationed in Portland, plusSmith and an assistant, as well as crewsranging from 35 to 50 people.
Max J. Kuney Co. started onsite March2007. The first two stages took more thantwo years to complete; work on Stage 3began July of this year and should runthrough May. Originally, the entire projectwas scheduled for completion in May 2010,but unexpected soil conditions called for adesign change that added months to thetimeline. The current completion date isApril 2011, with some landscaping workcarrying over for some months after that.
When it is finished, the $75-million proj-ect will have entirely replaced both the MLKand Grand Avenue viaducts with new struc-tures boasting sidewalks, wider shouldersand medians, as well as improvements topedestrian ramps. The overall footprint willremain mostly the same.
At this stage, crews have torn down theold northbound bridge, the one built in 1965,and are currently building the new north-bound structure. For now, northbound trafficis directed along the newly built structurethat will carry southbound traffic in the per-manent configuration. Presently, southboundtraffic is using a temporary structure.
In addition to 100- and 140-ton (91 and127 t) cranes, Max J. Kuney Co. is using fivehydro cranes in the 40- to 50-ton (36 to 45 t)range on the project, primarily Link-Belt.The contractor is employing more hydrocranes than normal because of the tight quar-ters. “We needed something more mobile”than lattice cranes, said Tobin Smith.
While work proceeds on the job site, JohnSmith is in communication with both the cityof Portland and TriMet, the region’s transitservice. Within the next couple of years, bothorganizations are starting projects that willoverlap the site of the viaduct replacementproject. John Smith said: “We’ve been coor-dinating…so we don’t build something andthey come in a year after we’re done and tearit out.”
“I pay taxes too and I hate to see mymoney thrown away,” he added.

Cashman Supplies Cat Backhoes to Install Huge PipesThey say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and equipment aficionados
could certainly call Reliant Construction’s projects a sight to behold. Reliant’s underground utilities installation project for Freeman Decorating
(just to the east of the intersection of Rainbow Boulevard and Sunset Road)features three Caterpillar excavators, two Cat backhoe loaders, a 938 wheelloader, two large water trucks, and an 1175XHD Tesmec chainsaw. The noisy,active job site is a beautiful sight, indicative of a busy company.
All this activity is the product of three years hard work and positive energygenerated by Larry Elliot, Rob Boit, and Mike Zetz. This hard-working triocame together in 2006 and combined their desire to call their own shots,mixed it with 85 years of cumulative experience, and created the successfulsouthern Nevada wet/dry underground utilities and site preparation companycalled Reliant Construction LLC.
Launching a new business during a booming construction period in Vegas,Reliant has spent the past three years laying underground utilities like sewerpipes, storm drains and water mains of all sizes. From modest jobs likeRaising Cane’s fast-food restaurants and Famous Dave’s barbeque to expan-sive jobs for Southwest Gas and Cox Cable, Reliant is weathering the eco-nomic downturn with relative ease and predicts it will have more than enoughwork to keep its fleet busy. Running eight to ten projects at once keeps thiscompany with 25 employees on a rigid schedule, with little room for unreli-able machines.
Quality, dependable equipment has been a major reason behind Reliant’sunabated enthusiasm for Caterpillar products from Cashman Equipment.
“Cashman’s a one-stop shop for us,” stated Boit. “Whether we are rentingor buying, they’ve got it.”
Reliant purchased a core group of machines (backhoe loaders, water trucks,and attachments) from Cashman and supplements each individual job withthe appropriate rental equipment. While the work site requirements change,the presence of a certain distinctive logo rarely does.
“If [a machine] is on our site and it’s not Caterpillar, it means Cat doesn’tmake one,” Zetz jokingly said.
While Zetz made light of the amount of yellow iron on their job sites, Elliotwas more serious about explaining why they’ve spent three years purchasingand renting mostly Caterpillar equipment.
“It’s not about the name on the side of the machine for me,” Elliot said. “It’sthe fact that everything works exactly the way it should, and things get done.”
That productivity has been extremely important on one of the company’slargest projects, new corporate office/warehouse for Freeman Decorating. Theunderground work for Freeman, a tradeshow staging company, began inJanuary 2009 and progressed steadily toward the October 2009 completiondate, despite the challenge of working in white caliche.
White caliche, generally bemoaned as Nevada’s hardest ground to exca-vate, is prevalent on the Freeman job site. Fortunately for the Reliant crew, the1175XHD Tesmec trencher came equipped with a 14-ft. (4.2 m) chainsawwith a staggered pattern of 3 and 2.5 in. (7.6 and 6.3 cm) steel carbide teeth.The alternating teeth height gave the chainsaw greater impact force, so morecaliche could be fractured, pulled into the trencher, and deposited off to theside. Putting in water lines 5 ft. (1.5 m) deep and sewer pipes 14 ft. deep wasrelatively easy using this machine, with operators cutting approximately 500-ft. (152 m) trench sections each day. However, the 54-in. (137 cm) wide con-crete storm drain was a different story.
“There isn’t a chainsaw wide enough to make a 54-in. cut to the depth need-ed,” explained Seth Hendrickson, Cashman Equipment rental representative.“They have to make more than one pass to get the width required.”
To be specific, Reliant made two passes with the 1175XHD and then useda Cat 330C excavator with a bucket attachment to scoop out the remainingmaterial. After another excavator lowers the pipe in place, a water truck satu-rates the bottom of the trench, a backhoe fills in the trench with dirt, and final-ly an excavator with a compaction wheel attachment compacts the area.
Every piece of equipment has a significant role to play in the installation ofunderground utilities. And that leads to a busy jobsite that is beautifully pro-ductive.

Ditch Witch’s RT45 Trencher Includes Vibratory PlowThe Ditch Witch organization released a new
ride-on trencher, the RT45, an upgrade of thecompany’s RT40.
Some of the advancements of the new RT45include a Tier IVi-compliant engine, improvedair filtration, and new, easy-to-read gauges in theoperator’s station. Like the RT40, the new RT45offers a choice of attachments, including a cen-terline or dual-position trencher, vibratory plow,rotary saw, combination trencher/plow andbackhoe.
The new, emissions-compliant engine is quiet,so the RT45 can be operated in noise-sensitiveurban areas. The quiet engine also means greateroperator comfort, a traditional design objectiveof Ditch Witch engineers. Other operator-friend-ly features of the RT45 include a roomy opera-tor’s station, easy-to-read gauges, intuitive con-trols, easily accessible service points, and anengine exhaust pipe that diverts hot air and noiseaway from the operator.
But trencher performance is the signature ofthe new RT45, according to the manufacturer.
Its powerful engine has more than enoughpower to get maximum productivity out of eachattachment. For high-vibration applications, theRT45 can be equipped with an optional heavy-duty engine mount.
For more information, call 800/654-6481 orvisit www.ditchwitch.com.

Fort Worth…Ritchie Bros.’s $45MSale Features 1,200Frac Tanks in TexasRitchie Bros. Auctioneers sold a record 4,000 items
during the unreserved public auction at its Fort Worthauction site Dec. 2 and 3, including almost 1,200 frac
tanks for the oil and gas industry. The auction generated $45million in gross auction proceeds and attracted more than2,700 unique onsite and online bidders from 42 countries,including 49 U.S. states. Bidders from as far away as Korea,the U.K. and Nigeria purchased equipment in the auction.
“Our final 2009 auction in Fort Worth was a tremendoussuccess: we sold a record number of items for this site,attracted thousands of bidders from around the world, andgenerated excellent returns for our consignors,” said KieranHolm, Ritchie Bros. area manager. “The frac tanks, whichare designed for the domestic market, created a lot of inter-est and brought in bidders from across the U.S. Biddingremained active for all 1,200 frac tanks and pricing stayedstrong. In fact, pricing was stronger than we’ve seen all yearin most equipment categories.”
Kenny Lewis, owner of Georgetown, Texas-based KCEquipment and a long-time Ritchie Bros. customer, sold aselection of late model equipment in the auction.
“I’m really happy with the results of the auction; the priceswe achieved surpassed my expectations,” said Lewis. “Thisequipment was sitting idle and we were still making pay-ments to the bank, so it made sense to sell. I chose RitchieBros. for two reasons: I have a lot of confidence in them andtrust what they tell me, and I know they’ll get me the bestresults. Their global reach is key. Most selling channels arelimited to the local region, but Ritchie Bros. brings in thoseinternational buyers, which is really important in this econo-my.”
