Construction Demolition contractors throughoutthe New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania tri-state areaare familiar with the recycling capabilities ofBayshore Recycling Corp’s Eco-Complex and EnergyCampus alongside the Raritan River in Keasbey,

Woodbridge Township, NJ. There, the 52 acre facilitybustles with trucks coming and going from morninguntil night. The trucks are loaded with everythingfrom C&D waste to contaminated soil, scrap metaland construction debris. Once they have unloaded,many of those same trucks will head out with recy-cled aggregate taking it back out to construction sitesand commercial projects. Others will travel across thescales, loaded with baled paper, cardboard or scrapmetal, heading to commodities customers in the U.S.and abroad.

According to Valerie Montecalvo, president andCEO of Bayshore Recycling, currently there are sevenseparate enterprises in action here, with plans formore in the coming months. “We are planning toexpand our solar energy capabilities, and we are look-ing at wind and biofuel energy generation as well,”she said. “The Company’s vision is to be the mostenvironmentally responsible, self-sustaining andvertically integrated recycling facility in the nation.We are looking to provide our own electrical powerfrom a variety of sources including the use of biofuelsand other byproducts generated from our dailyrecycling activities.”

Valerie and her husband Frank are the visionariesand implementers of these innovative ideas. Togetherthey are on track to achieve their goals, heading up agroup of companies that meet the demands of theentire spectrum of the construction and demolitionindustry’s waste stream.

The Montecalvo Group of Companies currentlyincludes Bayshore Recycling Corp.; Bayshore SoilManagement, LLC; Montecalvo Disposal Services,

Inc.; Costal Metal Recycling Corp.; Port RaritanMarine Terminal; Montecalvo Contracting Corp. andRecycling Technology Development, LLC. With morethan 30 years of construction and recycling experi-ence, the Montecalvos work closely with the NJDEPand NJDOT to make sure that their suppliers of rawmaterial comply with the guidelines that help keepthe recycling industry safe and compliant.

“We are in a very accessible location,” said Frank.“This site offers extraordinary access via water, railand roadway. All of the major roadways pass throughWoodbridge Township. Since we are located on theRaritan River, we are also able to move material viabarge when necessary. We can bring in dredge mate-rial, petroleum contaminated soils or excavatedconcrete and asphalt and unload it right here on ourdock.” After processing, they can ship finishedproduct to their customers via barge as well.

A tour of the Transfer Station/MRFA trip through the transfer station provided an

opportunity to meet Jim Bray, the transfer stationand scrap yard manager. Jim oversees the sortingcrews who were especially busy this day. “Since about60 percent of the C&D debris and bulky waste mate-rial is wood, we have devoted our MRF to makingwood our primary commodity,” he said.

“The raw material is initially screened through anErin 10-inch finger screen with the oversized goinginto the MRF with the screenings going over asecondary 2-inch vibratory screen and a GeneralKinematics destoner dual air knife to further removeaggregate and other smaller debris. All of that goes

over magnets to remove as much of the ferrous mate-rial as we can.”

From there, the material goes via two lines into thesorting station, a product of Frank’s design effortscoupled with the engineering and installation of theERIN Recycling Equipment Company. A third, muchsmaller line, is devoted to isolating aggregate, whichthen is diverted to the aggregate production.

Workers have two bins in which to sort their mate-rial. Each has a bin for wood and a separate bin formaterials like plastic, metal, glass, paper, cardboardand the like. The wood is directed into a CBI 5400grinder that is powered by two, 300 hp electric motorsthat operate sequentially based on demand. The otherrecyclables drop into their respective collection bins.

“The grinder runs continuously on one motor; andif the demand loads it down too much, within a fewmilliseconds, the second motor comes on to helphandle the load. When the need has passed, the sec-ond motor shuts down and the grinder returns to itsregular mode. We produce a 6-inch shredded prod-uct that goes to mulch companies or to biofuelproducers.”

“We are permitted for 10,000 tons per day ofsecondary materials, and we are looking to increasethat over time,” said Frank. “Our concrete andasphalt material comes in and is stockpiled here andon the far side of the property. We crush at two loca-tions, depending on our demand for finished product.Our primary system is an Eagle Crusher Jumbo 1400with a built-in 6-foot x 16-foot, three deck screen. Wemake three products here. We make a 2 1/2-inchstone for general use, and we produce a base materi-al that meets NJDOT spec as well. We also have aclean 3/4-inch stone that is used like a 57. Oursecond crusher is an Extec impactor that we usewhen we need extra crushing capabilities. Since it isportable, we can take it to other jobsites when theoccasion calls for it.”

Frank said that currently, 75-80 percent of whatcomes into the facility does not end up in a landfill.Materials like cardboard, aluminum and steel aresold as commodities. Miscellaneous recyclables suchas refrigerators, computers and even mattresses arerecycled according to the latest regulations. Thirdparty companies provide the appropriate documenta-tion and certifications that are needed for theseproducts, such as the removal of Freon from therefrigerant equipment.

As part of Bayshore’s ongoing expansion process,

two new Rice Lake scales were being installed at thetime of our visit. The ultimate goal is to be able tohave any combination of traffic lanes open to trucksthat are coming and going. In this way, they will beable to offer maximum capacity into and out of thefacility.

As we stopped at the ASTEC low temperaturethermal desorption plant that was shut down forroutine maintenance, Frank said that they are look-ing forward to the day when they will be able togenerate syngas on site from other byproducts topower the soil remediation process. The unit wasinstalled for Bayshore Soil Management, LLC in 2002.

“Because we take in contaminated soils, we provide

the detailed tracking capability that is an integralpart of this kind of recycling,” said Frank. “We sendour soil samples to a certified lab for testing andconfirmation before our decontaminated soil headsout to its ultimate end use. We even use an XRF ana-lyzer to make sure that what is coming onsite is mate-rial that doesn’t not contain any contaminates forwhich we are not permitted. It tells us if there are anyheavy metals or other chemical compounds in a loadthat shouldn’t be there.” For more information on theMontecalvo Group of Companies, contact them at732-738-6000 or at www.bayshorerecycling.com.

Incoming C&D material goes through this 10-inch screen as the starting point for all incoming material. Fromhere, it the 10-inch minus is screened a second time, then both waste streams enter the MRF for further sorting.

This ASTEC low temp soil desorption unit givesBayshore Recycling a distinct advantage over otherrecyclers in the tri-state area.

TCI from 8

The Senate voted 92-6 to send Presi-dent Barack Obama a measure extend-ing authorization at current fundinglevels for federal highway and transitprograms until March 31 and for feder-al aviation programs until Jan. 31. Ac-tion came one day before aviation pro-

grams and revenue collection authoritywere scheduled to lapse and 15 daysbefore surface transportation programsand revenue collection authority werescheduled to expire.

Representatives passed the bill byvoice vote Tuesday after a short debate

in which no member spoke against it.The Senate reached a unanimous con-sent agreement Thursday afternoon tocall up the bill, debate two amendmentsfor 10 minutes, and then vote on theamendments and final passage. Bothamendments failed.

The American Association of StateHighway and Transportation Officialsissued a statement commending Con-gress for approving the bill (HR 2887) toextend both the nation’s surface trans-portation and aviation programs.

“The six month exten-sion of federal highway andtransit programs approvedby Congress today ensuresthe continuation of thou-sands of job creating infra-structure projects in everystate,” said AASHTO Exec-utive Director John Hors-ley. “We congratulate theHouse and Senate leader-ship on both sides of theaisle for their tireless hardwork to bring about thispositive result. We encour-age the president to quick-ly sign the legislation.AASHTO is prepared towork with Congress andthe administration over thenext six months to pass arobust, multiyear surfacetransportation reauthoriza-tion bill.”

When signed into lawby the president, thiswould be the eighth shortterm extension of the2005 surface transporta-tion authorization lawknown as “SAFETEA-LU,”which originally expiredSept. 30, 2009. And itwould be the 22nd exten-sion of FAA’s authoriza-tion, which expired Sept.30, 2007.

Congress has not actedon a new six year highwayand transit package dur-ing the past two years be-cause of differences onfunding levels and how topay for a comprehensiveinvestment program. Like-wise, Congress has beenunable to agree to a multi-year FAA reauthorizationdue to policy disputes.

As a supplement tomaintaining existing cur-rent funding levels, Oba-ma sent to Congress onMonday a bill, the Ameri-can Jobs Act, to pump $50billion into transportationprojects next fiscal yearand allocate $10 billion toestablish a national infra-structure bank.

Two amendments tocut spending voted

downSenators went on the

record supporting main-taining existing trans-portation funding levels,voting overwhelmingly toreject two amendmentsthat would have trimmedspending.

Both amendments wereoffered by Sen. RandPaul, R-KY. The firstamendment would haveallowed the Highway

Trust Fund to spend nomore than it collectednext fiscal year in gaso-

line, diesel fuel and otheruser fees. Paul said thiswould cut an estimated

$9 billion from highwayand transit programs inFiscal Year 2012. The

amendment failed 84-14.The second Paul

amendment would have

cut Federal Aviation Ad-

Congress from 9

ministration appropriations to FiscalYear 2008 levels. Paul said the provisionwould have sliced $700 million out ofFAA’s budget during the 4.5 month du-ration of the extension. The amendmentfailed 61-36.

Senate Environment and PublicWorks Committee Chairwoman BarbaraBoxer, D-CA, issued a statement afterThursday’s votes.

“Today was a crucial moment for the1.8 million workers and the thousandsof businesses who depend on a strongtransportation bill,” Boxer said. “Therewere needless delays, but in the end theSenate showed it was willing to do theright thing. By turning back an amend-ment that was intended to cut surfacetransportation by one third, it puts usin a good position as we move forwardon our two year (reauthorization) bill.”

Boxer spoke on the Senate floor earli-er Thursday regarding objections to theextension that had been raised by Sen.Tom Coburn, R-OK. Coburn held upconsideration of the transportation ex-tensions Wednesday and most of Thurs-day while arguing the requirement thatstates spend a certain percentage oftheir highway funds for “enhancementprojects” such as bicycle and pedestrianpaths should be eliminated. Video ofBoxer’s 29 minute long floor remarks isavailable at www.youtube.com/epw-chairmanboxer.

House Transportation and Infra-structure Committee Chairman John

Mica, R-FL, also released a statementapplauding the Senate’s passage ofthe bill.

“It is a positive step for the countrythat the Congress has passed this his-toric combination of extensions, whichis important for job creation and ournation’s infrastructure,” Mica said.“With the FAA bill delayed four yearsand a two year delay on the highwaymeasure, Congress must now act re-sponsibly to enact long-term reautho-rizations that will put Americans backto work and build our nation’s infra-structure. I challenge House and Senateleaders to continue to work toward longoverdue solutions that address ourtransportation needs.”

rials takes many forms in today’s WasteHandling Industry. This is a recyclingstory unlike any in recent memory.

As we take time in September to re-member our workforce on Labor Day,and to honor those on September 11,who perished in the attacks on our na-tion on the tenth anniversary of thatterrible day, the story that follows is ourtribute to the people and events that re-mind us of the values that we cherish.With acts of kindness, generosity andpatriotism like those of Capt. C.B. “Sul-ly” Sullenberger, and the people whohelped create the “Miracle on the Hud-son” exhibit at the Carolinas AviationMuseum in Charlotte, NC, we wish tothank everyone who helps to make thisnation great.

Flight 1549Ben Bostic was in New York City to

work on the acquisition of a dot comstart-up. He flew in on Wednesday, Jan.14, 2009 and was scheduled to returnon U.S. Air’s Thursday 2:45 p.m. flighton Jan 15. His boarding gate changedon him shortly before boarding delayingthe fliers. Flight 1549 didn’t take off un-til after 3:20 p.m. That wasn’t the onlychange in scheduling that Bostic andhis fellow passengers experienced thatday. They never dreamed that the waythat the aircraft they had boarded

would only make it to Charlotte aftertwo years and atop a flatbed trailer, butthat’s what has happened.

“I heard the geese hit, it was only afew minutes into the flight as I think wewere at approximately 3,200-feet — al-though I had no idea what the soundwas at the time,” says Bostic. “I was inseat 20A so I had a clear view of the rearof the left engine, which was engulfed inflames after the bird strike.”

After what seemed like hours of star-ing at the burning engine, Captain “Sul-ly” Sullenberger came across the inter-com and said in a calm, but command-ing voice, “This is your Captain speak-ing: Brace for Impact.”

“I didn’t realize until a little later thatwe were indeed going into the HudsonRiver. Nevertheless, once the pilot madethe announcement, after a few secondsof disbelief, I actually lost all fear. I be-came very calm again because I knew itwas out of my hands. The only thing Icould do was follow the flight atten-dants’ instructions to assume the braceposition. So that is what I did.”

The landing was more violent thanany landing Bostic could imagine.Perhaps that was because he onlyhad 90 seconds to prepare himself;he initially envisioned it would not bemuch more than a rear end car crash.It was much more.

Once the plane came to a stop, Bostic

followed a line of passengers climbingatop what were now the submergedseatbacks, and up the left side of theplane. In the commotion, Bostic realizedthat he had forgotten his seat cushion

so he grabbed one from one of the rowscloser to the front of the plane as he ex-ited. Once he was in a rescue raft, he

was given a life preserverfrom someone aboard theNY Waterway rescue ferry.

Bostic is very grateful forthe airplane. “Along withthe crew, rescuers and allmy fellow passengers, theplane did the job she need-ed to do to ensure our sur-vival. The combination ofgreat engineering alongwith extraordinary pilotingskills, ensured the planedidn’t break apart and wasable to stay afloat longenough for all 155 to evac-uate and be rescued. If thedamage to the plane wouldhave been only slightlymore severe, water wouldhave come in more quicklyand I am confident the out-come wouldn’t have beenas successful. I was excit-ed to learn that it is beingpreserved as a historicalartifact that will be used asan educational and inspi-rational tool for others.”

The idea is bornEarly on, there were

people at Charlotte’s Car-olinas Aviation Museumwho had the idea of at-tempting to bring at leastone piece of the plane toCharlotte, as a part of anexhibit at their facility.Shawn Dorsch, chair ofthe Carolinas AviationMuseum’s board of direc-

tors, morphed the ideainto one of obtaining theentire aircraft.

“Everyone just thoughtthat was a crazy idea,”explains Dorsch. “But Ihad actually been on thenext scheduled flight toCharlotte on the day thatFlight 1549 went down.My mother called me cry-ing with the news while Iwas taxiing down therunway at LaGuardia.Being an airplane geek asI am, I always take a win-dow seat and just afterour flight took off, I sawthe other plane down inthe water.”

After the incident,Dorsch was travelingabroad, and he visited anexhibit in the Tokyo In-ternational Airport thatmemorialized the 545people who died in aJapan Airlines planecrash. He was particular-ly impressed with a hugeflow chart at the exhibitthat emphasized the safe-ty changes that had tak-en place over time. Thechart linked the tragicloss of life on the JapanAirlines flight directly tothe safe recovery of thepassengers on Flight1549 by showing thesafety changes that havetaken place over theyears. These changeshave led to greater sur-vival success rates inmore recent crashes.

“For example, throughdesign changes with lug-gage racks, the luggagedidn’t fall on everybodyupon impact,” saysDorsch. “This got methinking about 1549.From there, I got a giant18 month process going,involving insurance com-panies and U.S. Airwaysto try to have this sited inCharlotte.”

Dorsch recalled howthey needed to work withthe 40 insurance compa-nies that insured theplane and how they gotthem to agree to this idea.He said that they workedwith Airbus and with USAirways to help reassem-ble the aircraft, and thetwo companies were ex-tremely helpful duringthe overall project.

“Miracle Plane” takesjourney into Aviation

HistoryA gigantic part of this

story is Joe Supor, of J.Supor & Sons, trans-porters of the recoveredplane. As a specialty con-tractor, Supor has beeninvolved in virtually everymajor large aircraft recov-ery in the New York Met-ropolitan Area for some30-40 years. As a result,Joe Supor was hired bythe insurance companyto pull the airplane out ofthe water and to store it.During that process, Su-por contracted withWeeks Marine to lift theplane out of the waterand onto their barge. Su-por in turn took it apartfrom there, and placed itin storage.

“Large accident recov-ery is something he hasspecialized in,” saysDorsch. “But this wasdifferent because somuch of the airplane wasleft intact and this wassuch a great story. WhenI started this project Ididn’t even think aboutasking Joe Supor be-cause it would be so ex-pensive to relocate theplane; but with all theother people we went towith this job, in order toget the price low enough(to move it to Charlotte),they were going to haveto cut the airplane inhalf. Cutting the airplanein half would have de-stroyed the historical in-tegrity of the airplane.”

“I didn’t (contact) JoeSupor for a long time be-cause I couldn’t imagine Icould ever afford to havehim do the job. He even-tually started the dia-logue with me saying herecognized the historicalsignificance of everythingand wanted to be part ofhistory. He finallybrought it up and offeredto donate everything intoit. Every time we got a po-lice escort, he was payingfor that. When we got abucket truck to lift up atelephone line, he paid forthat — for 780 miles.”

Supor had to hire traf-fic engineers to do theplanning of the transportof the plane. There weretwo times when they shutdown an interstate high-way so the plane could goin opposing lanes for sev-eral miles — driving par-allel to the open lanes

that were traveling in the same direc-tion. The trip required months of plan-ning. They secured hundreds of permitsfrom many municipalities along the way.

The first two days of this seven dayroad trip were in New Jersey, all on lo-cal roads because the highways in thestate are so old that the highway over-passes are too low to accommodate theplane passing under them. They weren’table to travel on a major highway untilthey crossed the Delaware Memorial

Bridge at the Delaware — New Jerseysouthern border.

Today, Flight 1549 is on exhibit atCharlotte’s Carolinas Aviation Museum.Exhibitors have gone to great lengths toensure that the aircraft will look as itdid when it landed in the Hudson Riverin January 2009. Dorsch points outthat because this is a reasonably newairplane, it gives the Carolinas AviationMuseum a 35 year technological leadover any other aviation museum in the

world, especially in the field of commer-cial aviation. “No one else has an air-plane this new in a museum anywhere,”adds Dorsch. “The Concordes were builtin the 1960s and the 747s were built inthe 1970s.

Dorsch points out that during thetime the exhibit was being set up, theretiring NASA Space Shuttle crafts wereheading to exhibits of their own, as thatprogram ended. Nevertheless, despitethe glamour of the Space Shuttles, peo-

ple are fascinated by this plane’s fate.More importantly, they are excitedabout the new exhibit. Most likely, it isbecause an average person can identifywith Ben Bostic who boarded a planeheaded for home, expecting everythingto go off without a hitch.

Owego fire chief says donation of$25,000 is largest gift to

construction project.A $25,000 donation from Adam Weits-

man, president of Upstate Shreddingand Ben Weitsman & Son will help buildthe classroom portion of the Owego Vol-unteer Fire Department’s new trainingcampus, where future firefighters willreceive important education and safetytraining.

Village fire Chief Ed Franz said thedonation is the largest the buildingproject has received.

“This donation gives us the shot inthe arm needed to complete the class-rooms,” Franz said. “We’re grateful toAdam and to the Weitsman companies.”

The sizable gift will nearly cover thecost of the construction of the threeroom classroom facility. Two of theclassrooms will be used for safety train-ing, instruction and other “clean” train-ing activities, Franz said, while the thirdroom, a “dirty” classroom, will resemblea garage and will allow the more than300 volunteer fire fighters in the Owegodepartment a permanent, indoor loca-tion to train on fire engines and otheressential public safety equipment.Franz said he hopes construction willconclude this fall.

“The Fire Department is an importantpart of the community of Owego, andI’m glad to be able to support them,”said Adam Weitsman.

Owego Mayor Ed Arrington said hewas deeply appreciative of the donation,and said the new training facility willbenefit the residents not only of Owegobut also of all of Tioga County, NY. Whencomplete, Owego’s training center will beused for education and training by allthe county volunteer fire departments.

“This new facility will be a real boostto the community. We’ll be able to trainour future and current fire fightershere,” the mayor said. “The Weitsmanfamily has always thought of the com-munity first; on behalf of the people ofOwego, I want to thank Adam Weitsmanfor his most generous gift.”

Upstate Shredding knows first handof their commitment to duty — the fire

department worked tirelessly in themiddle of the night to save the companyfrom damaging fire that threatened toengulf the Upstate Shredding facility,despite dangerously cold temperaturesof 10 below zero.

Upstate Shredding and Ben Weitsman& Son, headquartered in Owego, NY, isthe largest privately held scrap processorin the eastern U.S. The company is ap-proaching its goal of attaining $1 billionin annual debt free sales, and will processmore than 800,000 tons of ferrous and150 million pounds of non-ferrous scrapin 2011.

HydrauliCircuit Technology basedin McDonough, GA, a leader in aftermarket hydraulic kits and acces-sories, has been supplying automaticbreaker lubricating systems for manyyears. With recent refinements engi-neered into their newest hydraulicsystem, the company now produces aproduct that may well be the world’sbest hydraulic activated Breaker Au-tolube system available.

Contractors rely on these breaker

autolube system primarily for extend-ing the life of the working tool andbushing in the hydraulic breaker.Breaker manufacturer’s traditionallyrecommend greasing the breaker everytwo hours of use. Manually greasingthe breaker has become “old school” asstudies have shown that most of thegrease liquefies and runs out withinthe first few minutes of operation, plusmany jobsites prevent the equipmentoperator from performing this neces-

sary function.Electric and hydraulic autolube sys-

tems have become the solution to themanual method of greasing breakerunits and reduces down time for thepurposes of greasing. These systemsinject small quantities of grease on acontinuous basis for optimum lubrica-tion. The results: Overall grease con-sumption is significantly reduced com-pared to manual greasing. The onlything that needs attention is to moni-tor the grease level and replace thebucket as needed.

The new HydrauliCircuit Technolo-gy Autolube System has taken all theguess work out of automatic breakerlubricating systems. The fully hy-draulically activated system workswith a standard five gallon bucket ofgrease which clamps down on the ma-chine wherever the owner prefers andis powered by servo/pilot pressure.The grease output is infinitely ad-

justable. The key upgrade to the Au-tolube System is the addition of a lowlevel warning sensor unit. Machineowners can choose between an audi-ble warning signal and/or completeshutdown of the breaker unit opera-tion when the grease bucket is deplet-ed.

HydrauliCircuit Technology engi-neers state that the cost of the systemis quickly recouped with the resultingextended tool and bushing life, as wellas, overall machine “up time.” Thecompany provides the entire systemfor any carrier/breaker combination.The kit includes the pump, flow con-trol, mounting components, fittings,adapters, low level sensor unit, hosesto the end of the stick and detailed in-stallation instructions.

EDISON, NJ — Youonly get one chance tomake a first impression.When entering a newbuilding, a floor thatshines sends good sig-nals. Not every floor cando that, especially thosethat see lots of traffic.Floors in heavy use,whether by foot or forklift, need to be durable.Ordinary concretemakes for a stout wearsurface but is rarely con-fused with sparkling.People have been unhap-py with certain charac-teristics of concretefloors for as long as theyhave been around.

termines what can be used and whatcan’t. For example, you would not cov-er a garage floor with carpeting orhardwood flooring. But people haveused paint or pigmented epoxy foryears to brighten the room, stop thedusting and make the floor easier toclean and resist stains.

The problem with paint as a concretecovering is that it quickly peels off andrequires yearly re-coating. Epoxy doesbetter, but it is a topping that can stilldelaminate if moisture is coming upthrough the floor. It is much like plas-tic; it can scratch easily and/or meltaway when it gets heated up.

This is where concrete polishing fitsin. It gives all the benefits of goodepoxy floor, but it does not have any ofthe problems associated with coatings.Lighting engineers say that the highshine and reflectivity of a polished con-crete floor can brighten a room by asmuch as 35 percent (considerablymore than an epoxy floor). There is nocoating that can fail and the floor stillbreathes. The densifier solution that isadded during the polishing processchemically makes the concrete surfacemuch stronger and more resistant towear. It also locks in optional coloreddyes that can be used to improve the

appearance of the floor. Many “BigBox” retailers and supermarkets em-brace polished concrete.

Even concrete floors that are coveredwith things like linoleum or tile can bedyed and polished after removing thecovering. The new floor will be easier toclean and more durable than the oldcovering.

Concrete polishing, refurbishing andreconditioning requires equipmentmanufactured for that purpose and afull range of the expendable acces-sories needed to transform a basicconcrete surface to a polished gem-likefinish. Only those who have beentrained in how to do the work and cer-tified are qualified to do so. The Equip-ment Development Co., AKA Edco, hasdeveloped the entire line and offers thetraining to bring it all together. Thepackage is marketed as CONTRx Sys-tems.

CONTRx polishing machines havealso bridged the gap between the smallresidential and large commercial pol-ished floors. The strip mall is a perfectexample. You will often see medical of-fices within a strip mall type setting.These offices will have many roomsand narrow hallways dividing thefloors into small areas where large in-

dustrial polishers won’t work. TheCONTRx Dual Disc ProPolisher llworks very efficiently in this setting.

Restaurants and bars are using pol-ished and dyed concrete floors more allthe time for that “old world” look thatis extremely easy to clean. The artisticappearance achieved from a polishedand dyed floor lends itself perfectly tospecialty retail shops where you oftensee interesting lighting and works ofart throughout.

The entrance areas of commercialestablishments are ideal for logos orunique designs that can be done withcolored dyes that are applied to thepolished floor. Through the polishingprocess, old worn concrete can be re-juvenated to a new bright and highlyreflective floor that won’t wear like theoriginal.

So what is the perfect job applicationfor a CONTRx Polisher? Any residentialor small commercial concrete floor;new or old, smooth or worn, currentlycovered or exposed. The market ishuge and virtually untapped. There arenumerous high profit job opportunitiesto be accessed by front running, entre-preneurial contractors. Polished con-crete is the start of a whole new trendin floors for the owners of smaller

structures. It seems evident that manycontractors are expanding their hori-zons in search of revenue. This train-ing seminar will open that door for acertified CONTRx System contractor togenerate new profits.

Gamka Sales Co., Inc, in Edison, NJ,distributes the CONTRx System byEdco. They carry the polishing ma-chines, edgers and vacuums with theexpendable accessories. On October12, 2011 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Edcoand Gamka will offer a hands-on pol-ishing CONTRx System training semi-nar for contractors wishing to expandtheir operation’s scope. Attendees willlearn the ins and outs of diamond pol-ishing concrete floors with live demon-strations and hands-on surface prepa-ration. Those who register will be CON-TRx System certified upon completionof the course. The fee for this special-ized training is $200 and class size islimited to just 20 people to allow indi-vidual instruction. Lunch is included.

More details, a downloadable flierand application may be found atwww.gamka.com or call toll free 888-248-1400. Completed applications andthe $200 application fee must be re-ceived at Gamka (by check or creditcard) no later than Oct. 5, 2011.

Food, water and shel-ter of immediate con-

cern for thousands

As the flood watersthat raged through thevillage of Owego and oth-er parts of Tioga Countybegin to recede, the resi-dents of the upstate NewYork community are leftto begin to reconstructtheir homes and lives.

The area was inundat-ed both by the OwegoCreek and the Susque-hanna River, whichcrested at 40-feet, 10-feet above flood stage,according to the NationalWeather Service.

To help those affectedby the flood, AdamWeitsman, president ofUpstate Shredding —Ben Weitsman & Son, ismaking a donation of$100,000 to TiogaCounty charities andaid organizations work-ing in Owego and TiogaCounty FEVAS. Theseorganizations are pro-viding much neededfood and shelter to thethousands of people im-pacted by the floods.

“This community hasbeen home to my familyfor generations,” saidWeitsman. “And nowOwego and Tioga Countyneed our help and sup-

port. Kim and I are hap-py to help in any waythat we are able.”

All parts of the com-munity were impactedby the historic floodsthis week — “The town isclosed,” said Fire ChiefJim Morris. Damagefrom the flood will lingerfor months, if not years,and will cost the commu-nity millions and mil-lions of dollars to repair.Power is out to much ofthe community. The twomain bridges into the vil-lage were closed due toconcerns over damagedealt during the flooding.Half of the town’s resi-dents were evacuated,and those that remainedhave crowded into threetemporary shelters. Sup-plies are limited, andthere are reports ofneighborhoods bandingtogether with the foodthey have remaining assupplies are flown in bythe National Guard.

“The devastation toour community is unbe-lievable,” said AdamWeitsman. “Ourthoughts and prayersare with the residentsand families in our com-munity who have lost somuch in this disaster.”

Fortunately, no liveswere lost in the floods.

But many families havebeen displaced from theirhomes; others’ homesand belongings were de-stroyed in the rising wa-ters, and they have beenleft with nothing.

City officials saidnearly every commercialbuilding in Owego wasimpacted by the flood,including Ben Weitsman

& Son on Main Street.The yard has suffered afive million dollar loss,and like thousands ofhomeowners in the re-gion, the company’s in-surance policy does notcover flood damage. Re-construction of theOwego yard will beginon Monday.

The Ben Weitsman lo-

cation on Main Street inOwego will be closed un-til further notice howeverall Ben Weitsman Owegocustomers can bringtheir scrap to the UpstateShredding facility behindthe jail on Route 38 or tothe Ben Weitsman Bing-hamton yard located at10 Brandywine Street inBinghamton.

Upstate processesmore than 800,000 tonsof ferrous and approxi-mately 100 millionpounds of non-ferrousscrap a year through lo-cations throughout NewYork and Pennsylvania.

The first half 2011 num-bers, however, compare favorably to 2009($3.8 billion) and 2008 ($3.7 billion).

The $1.2 billion expansion of Termi-nal 4 at JFK Airport was the largest sin-gle construction start (by value) duringthe first half of 2011. The project aloneaccounted for more than one quarter ofall non-residential building starts inNew York City.

The second most valuable construc-tion start was the MTA’s $200 millionMother Clara Hale Bus Depot in CentralHarlem, followed by a $195 millionManhattan garage and distribution cen-ter for use by the New York City Depart-ment of Sanitation and UPS. The MTA’s63rd Street subway station along theSecond Avenue Subway, valued at $176million, is next, followed by the first pri-vate sector project on the list — the

$175 million Jerome L. Greene Re-search Center at Columbia University.

“Construction activity in the first halfof 2011 is extremely disappointing, es-pecially when you consider the nearly$11 billion in construction starts for thesame time last year,” said New YorkBuilding Congress President Richard T.Anderson. “The more than $20 billion inconstruction starts recorded for the yearin 2010, amid signs of a slowly strength-ening economy, offered hope that thebuilding industry was turning the cor-ner. said New York Building CongressPresident Richard T. Anderson. The ini-tial data for 2011, however, tells a storyof relative weakness in each sector.”

There are signs of improvement, be-ginning in the second half of 2011.Building permits are up 12 percent thisyear, which offers hope for a modest re-bound in residential construction. TheWhitney Museum and Fordham Univer-sity are moving ahead with major build-ing projects, and Boston Properties hasannounced it will restart its $1 billion55th Street tower project in the comingmonths. Both the Metropolitan Trans-portation Authority and Port Authorityof New York and New Jersey have un-veiled proposals that would fully fundtheir multi-billion dollar capital plans.

Anderson added, “Considerable workis being generated by the major proj-ects already under construction, in-cluding at the World Trade Center. Andthere is hope for the near future as alarge number of projects are ready togo. The question, of course, is will theeconomy cooperate?”

CHICAGO, IL — The 32-foot wide, eight span, 540-foot long Knickerbocker, the largest composite bridgein the world, is now open in Boothbay, ME

Built in 1930 with a major superstructure rehabil-itation in 1983, the existing Knickerbocker Bridgewas comprised of a 38 span timber bridge approxi-mately 535-feet in length. This two lane highwaybridge, which carries Barters Island Road over theBack River in Boothbay, is very close to the tidalwaters with only 4-feet of clearance at high tide.Being in a harsh marine environment, it was key thatthe replacement bridge be constructed to better with-stand the elements.

The solution came in the form of hybrid compositebeams (HCB) manufactured by Harbor Technologiesin Brunswick, ME. Developed by HC Bridge

Company, LLC, a firm specializing in the developmentof hybrid composite structural alternatives, the light-weight beams are made using fiber reinforcedpolymer. Used in conjunction with concrete and steel,the beams make a stronger, longer lasting bridge withan installed cost that is comparable to the traditionalmaterials used to construct bridges.

According to John Hillman, HC Bridge Companypresident, the HCB combines the strength and stiff-ness of conventional concrete and steel with the light-weight and corrosion advantages of advancedcomposite materials. The result is a cost effectivealternative for major infrastructure projects with sus-tainable structures that are lighterweight, safer andlonger lasting than conventional bridges. The hybridcomposite beams have also been used on bridges in

New Jersey and Illinois, as well as a Class 1 RailroadBridge for BNSF Railway Company.

Hillman stated that Maine Department ofTransportation (MaineDOT) decided to move forwardwith use of the hybrid composite beams for thisproject after spending years watching the technologydevelop. He noted that, in an effort to improve thequality of new bridges in the state and to help fostereconomic development through growing Maine’s com-posite manufacturing base, a Composites Initiativewas made part of a public law. With an effective startdate of Sept. 1, 2008, this law served as a catalyst toadvance the development of composite bridges andcreated the funding mechanism for theKnickerbocker Bridge. Roughly $11 million dollars forconstruction of bridge projects, which includecomposite components, was funded as part of theInitiative.

For this project, the preliminary design reportrecommended replacing the existing bridge with adja-cent precast box beams. This recommendation waslater changed to HCB after MaineDOT discovered,researched and tested the new HCB technology at theUniversity of Maine. Since the existing bridge had alow load rating, it could not be used to transport oroff load the heavier precast box beams, thus it wouldhave necessitated a trestle or large barge and crane.

The construction documents were prepared byCalderwood Engineering of Richmond, Maine, withassistance on the HCB design from Teng &Associates, Inc. (an exp. firm based in Chicago, IL).Eric T. Calderwood, P.E., chief engineer atCalderwood Engineering noted that corrosion andlong term durability were key factors of design sincethis structure is over the salt water and there aretimes that the water is very close to the bottom of thebeams. These factors made HCB attractive as adesign solution.

“We have a good history of the use of composites ina marine environment here in Maine as there are boatyards all along the coast today that use composites soit is a material that we have confidence in for thiskind of exposure condition,” he said. “Further, HCBwas attractive because the weight of the beamsduring erection would give them a considerableadvantage over precast.”

In order to comply with the hydraulic criteria forthe new bridge, the HCBs were designed to match therecommended 33-inch depth box beams in order tomaintain the required vertical underclearance.Further, similar to the proposed precast box beambridge, the HCB framing system was limited to two60-foot end spans and six 70-foot interior spansresulting in an eight span bridge with a total length of540-feet. The beams were also made continuous forlive load with negative moment reinforcing steel castover the piers in the 7-inch concrete topping slab.According to Calderwood, the design was impacted atthe substructure units because the dead load wassignificantly less than the original precast design,however, the engineering team had to design forsignificant wave action.

“One of my considerations when using somethingnew is how it will function,” said Calderwood. “In thiscase, we had a full size beam made up at theUniversity of Maine’s Advanced Structures andComposites Center (AEWC) with arch filled and deckcast on it as it would be in the field. This beam wasthen fully instrumented and tested for fatigue consid-erations, and then once fatigue was fully satisfied itwas tested to destruction. The beam had approxi-mately four times the capacity required.”

However, most important, Calderwood noted thatfrom a structural engineering standpoint, HCB offersan enhanced safety benefit because flexural compo-nents need to fail in a ductile manner to ensure thatdistortions are visible and allow for repair and orclosure/evacuation prior to ultimate failure.

“Protection against a sudden non-ductile failure isinherent in the use of the HCB technology becausethe design of the beams is actually governed bydeflection,” said Calderwood. “Any decomposition orstructural loss of capacity should be readily visible byany maintenance crews and or the general public.”

Construction began in the spring of 2010 with theinstallation of seven pile bents comprised of concrete-filled pipe piles with rock anchors tensioned intobedrock. Each bent was constructed with only onerow of piles to allow for deflection under temperatureloads. Only one bent was constructed with two rowsof piles to provide longitudinal fixity. The only expan-sion joints are located at the abutments. In the fall of2010, prior to completing the substructure construc-tion, the general contractor, Wyman & Simpson,began erection of the HCB units. Using HCB, the con-tractor was able to drive the trucks with the beams onthe existing bridge and off-load them using the samebarge and crane needed for the substructure. Withthe HCB, the contractor was able to ship the beamsacross the existing timber bridge even with the post-ed load restrictions. In general, the HCBs wereerected at a rate of approximatey eight beams perday. After setting the first four spans of the bridge,the contractor placed the concrete for the arches in

the HCB units. By simply placing a hopper with asteel tube into the tops of the beams, it was possibleto fill each beam in approximately 20 minutes. Again,the contractor was able to place all of the concretecompression reinforcement in one span within oneday. Further, the reduced shipping and installationcosts associated with the advanced composite struc-ture made the solution cost competitive with theconventional precast box beams on a first cost basis.

“One of the biggest advantages of HCB is theextreme lightweight for shipping and erection,” saidKim Suhr, vice president, Wyman & Simpson. “Eachof the 70-foot long beams for the KnickerbockerBridge weighed only 5,000 pounds As a result, fourHCBs could be shipped on a single truck instead ofone truck per beam as would have been required forprecast concrete beams. Further, we were able toerect the beams using a small crane instead of mobi-lizing a 200 ton crane. This resulted in a significantcost savings. Further, no deck forms were required.”

Once the beams were filled, the contractor beganplacing reinforcing for the deck pour. With top flangewidths of 4-feet, the beams were placed tip to tip sothat no deck forming was required. Scupper details,screed rails and reinforcing details were no differentthan those for a comparable precast concrete bridge.The first half of the deck was cast in October of 2010.After working through the winter to complete theremaining piers, the contractor completed installa-tion of the second half of the HCB superstructure inApril of 2011. The bridge was officially opened totraffic on June 11, 2011.

“I will definitely design with HCB again,” saidCalderwood. “I think it is a wonderful product andwhen used in the right location, it will benefit bridgeowners for a long time to come.”

As a result of the success of this project, four addi-tional HCB bridges are in various stages of designand construction, including multi-span bridges andlonger spans on the order of 120-feet. With economiesof scale and further advances in fabrication automa-tion, it is now possible, with the HCB, to make sus-tainable structures using advanced composites amainstream component for reconstruction of theworld’s deteriorating infrastructure.

“What makes the Knickerbocker Bridge unique is

not only the HCB framing system, but the fact thatthis will be the longest composite vehicular bridge inthe world, the first to be made continuous for liveload, and the fact that this has been accomplishedwith a structure that was no more expensive than aconventional concrete box beam bridge,” saidHillman.

Suhr also noted the longterm benefit of HCB — itsanti-corrosive properties.

“I am confident that this bridge will have a longerlife span in this corrosive salt water environmentthan if it was constructed of simply steel or concrete,”he said. “We definitely will use HCB again.”

Nate Benoit, P.E., project manager, MaineDOTBridge Program, concurred, noting that they arealready quoting some other projects using HCB.

“We believe HCB is a viable technology and isanother tool in the toolbox for bridge designers,” saidBenoit. “HCB has proven to be a successful technolo-gy as demonstrated by the Knickerbocker BridgeProject. HCB offers corrosion resistance, is lightweight and it can be used with an acceleratedconstruction schedule. We expect to see more of thetechnology used for bridge infrastructure projects.”

The project has garnered much attention includingthe Technology Implementation Group (TIG) of theAmerican Association of State Highway andTransportation Officials (AASHTO). The purpose ofthe TIG is to identify and champion the implementa-tion or deployment of a select few proven technolo-gies, products or processes that are likely to yieldsignificant economic or qualitative benefits to theusers. In June, the AASHTO TIG met in Bangor,Maine to develop a promotional campaign highlight-ing various Dept. of Transportations that havealready deployed the technology in order to educatetheir peers as to the benefits of the technology.

According to Ken Sweeney, MaineDOT’s chief engi-neer, this promotional campaign was started to bringengineers and people from around the countrytogether to see the technology.

HC Bridge Company LLC specializes in the develop-ment and commercialization of composite bridgetechnology that accelerates bridge construction andprovides structures designed to offer service livesbeyond 100 years.

Hey Fred -We’re looking to switch

over to a constructionspecific accounting soft-ware package. What aresome factors that weneed to be aware of interms of implementation?

- Sam

Hey Sam -What a great question.

There are plenty of fac-tors to consider in termsof implementation. Thefirst thing would be set-ting a target date thatyou would like to be liveon the system. A verypopular time to go live isJanuary 1st because it’sthe beginning of the fis-cal year, so it’s a greattime to do it. Going liveon January 1st is veryachievable, but not youronly option. You can alsogo live at the beginningof any quarter, or evenany month. Regardlessof when you decide to be-gin implementation,there are a few factorsthat you should beaware of:

1. Do the proper re-search to find out whichaccounting software isthe best fit for your busi-ness. Take your time,make an informed deci-sion, and have realisticexpectations.

2. PLAN AHEAD andhave a Go Live date inmind. The implementa-tion period is differentfor each accounting

software package de-pending on the softwareyou select. The best wayto determine the latestyou should start imple-menting your new ac-counting software is towork closely with yoursoftware vendor. Thenyou can create a realis-tic implementationplan. Many vendorshave sold thousands ofsystems and have a lotof experience. Theywork with companieslike yours and can giveyou a better idea as tohow long it will take toimplement your newsoftware successfully.

3. It is always recom-mended that you go liveon the 1st of the month(and this can be anymonth). This way, youropen payables and re-ceivables, trial balancein the General Ledger,jobs in progress, andpayroll totals for the yearmatch those in the oldsystem. Some contrac-tors choose the begin-ning of a quarter to golive because of certainpayroll reports that runon a quarterly basis, butwaiting for the beginningof a quarter will onlysave you a minimalamount of time duringyour conversion.

Some other factorsthat may affect your im-plementation time in-clude: the size of yourcompany, the type of ac-counting package youchoose to implement,

and how much time youcan devote to the imple-mentation process. Butyou can consider newsoftware anytime, andthe best way for you tofigure out your going livedate is to PLAN and giveyourself plenty of time(the more the better!)

- Fred
