Construction continues at a steady pace atThe University of Tennessee at Chattanooga(UTC), with work under way on new livingquarters that will house 600 students. UTCofficially broke ground on the $70 millionWest Campus Housing Complex inNovember 2015.

For the past decade, UTC has been thefastest growing campus in Tennessee, saidYancy Freeman, assistant provost of enroll-

ment services. The demand for on-campushousing has surpassed what we have been ableto accommodate, and weve had to put stu-dents up in hotels for several years.

Originally designed to face McKenzieArena, the more than 231,000-sq. ft. (21,460sq m) complex was ultimately positioned inthe opposite direction, in order to bring newenergy to Vine Street. Located on the cornerof Vine and Houston, the project will offertwo stories of underground parking beneaththe facility, adding 196,000 sq. ft. (18,208 sq

Complex to Meet Demands ofTenn.s Fastest Growing Campus

Construction spending increased by 8 percentin March compared to a year earlier and alsowas up slightly between February and Marchamid growing demand for many types of con-struction, as the spending total hit the highestlevel since October 2007, according to an analy-sis by the Associated General Contractors ofAmerica. Association officials said the growthcomes amid strong private-sector demand andnew federal investments in surface transporta-tion programs.

Construction should be a significant contrib-utor to economic growth in the remainder of2016 and beyond, said Ken Simonson, theassociations chief economist. Right now thebiggest challenge for contractors in many partsof the country is that they are worried aboutfinding enough qualified workers to meetdemand.

Construction spending in March totaled$1.138 trillion at a seasonally adjusted annualrate, 0.3 percent higher than the revisedFebruary total and 8.0 percent higher than inMarch 2015, Simonson said. Private residentialspending increased by 1.6 percent for the monthand 8.5 percent compared to 12 months earlier.Spending on multifamily residential construc-tion jumped 5.6 percent for the month and 34.6percent year-over-year, while single-familyspending was flat compared to February butrose 13.4 percent compared to March 2015.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Nomatter what happens whenArkansas lawmakers meet to takeup the governors highway fundingplan, one thing is clear: This wont

be the end of the debate over howto pay for the states road needs.

With time running out to buildconsensus and an election year cli-mate that makes tax hikes a toughsell, the special session that beginsMay 19 will likely focus on a short-term plan to tap into Arkansas sur-

plus and general revenue for roads.But it also will offer a preview ofthe challenges lawmakers face laterin trying to come up with a longer-term solution to close the roadfunding gap.

I know the desire is there,House Speaker Jeremy Gillam

said. The biggest hurdle we facein the timeframe were in right nowis there are a lot of ideas out thereto reach those goals, but theyre allvery complex.

The Water Campus to Rise on 35 Acres Along MississippiBy Cindy RileyCEG CORRESPONDENT

Developing over the next decade andbeyond, The Water Campus will rise on 35acres along the Mississippi River, next todowntown Baton Rouge, La. Constructionof the more than 1.5 million sq. ft. (1.2 mil-lion sq m) of labs, research facilities andcommercial space will allow thousands ofresearchers to study coastal threats, formu-late theories and arrive at solutions thatmight never be reached by working alone.

The Water Campus promotes an envi-ronment of shared resources and relation-ships, creating a new knowledge economy,said Tina Rance, director of marketing ofCommercial Properties Realty Trust. Witha wide range of partners and potential ten-ants, this collaborative environment willadvance the study and applied science ofwater research for the international commu-nity. This presents a unique and compellingopportunity to assert a prominent global rolefor the city of Baton Rouge, the state ofLouisiana and all campus partners inaddressing the critical issues that the worldfaces around water.

The Water Campus is under constructionin the Nicholson Corridor, a major artery thatis targeted as a growth area under East BatonRouges comprehensive plan. On one end ofthis corridor is downtown. On the other isLouisiana State University. The boundariesof the campus are from Nicholson Drive tothe river and I-10 to Oklahoma Street. Amodern tram is now in the pre-developmentphase, with the anticipated line running fromdowntown to The Water Campus, andonward to LSU.

More than $50 million has been commit-ted by partners, including the state ofLouisiana, for developing the first phase ofwhat will be an international destination forleading minds in science, engineering andother specialties.

The Water Campus will attract thousandsof people, all working together in an effort tounderstand and better manage the complexrelationship between water, land, and peoplearound the globe.

Officials are working with local munici-palities, as well as the state, on the endeavor.Construction is phased, and infrastructure iscrucial.

Phase I infrastructure includes streetlights, electrical lines, water lines, fiber, rail-road crossings and electrical vehicle charg-ing stations, according to Rance.

The first building under construction isthe LSU Center for River Studies, which is a$16 million, 90 by 120 foot small scale phys-ical model of the lower Mississippi River.Two hundred computerized panels will sim-ulate water movement along our coastline.

Scientists from around the world can use theLSU lab to replicate effects on the waterbodies of their homelands.

The Center was the first building to beginconstruction on The Water Campus.

At the February groundbreaking,Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal told reporters,Were taking another step forward in mak-ing The Water Campus a reality. This projectis a concept we joined together to announcejust over a year ago. The creation of theCenter for River Studies embodies the prin-ciples on which The Water Campus wasfounded, which are to equip our best andbrightest with the skills they need to help us

further our work to protect and restore ourcoast.

This facility provides a venue forresearchers, scientists, engineers and citizensto work together to advance solutions tochallenges facing coastal Louisiana. Thework conducted at this Center will generatescientific strategies that will protect ourcoastal communities and help us preservecoastal Louisiana for our children and gener-ations to come.

The Center for River Studies will housethe expanded small scale physical model,one of the largest moving bed physical mod-els in the world. The state-of-the-art modelis based on exact parameters of the riversphysical and kinetic properties, producing adegree of accuracy never before achieved inlower-river physical modeling.

Designed to simulate the MississippiRivers depth, sediment and flow, the physi-cal model will be used in conjunction withcomputer modeling to make informed deci-sions about the best way to sustain coastalLouisiana. The Center also will include aninteractive exhibit center focused on theachievements and advancements of thecoastal program.

According to Tyler Tramonte, vice-presi-dent of estimating of Baton Rouge-basedgeneral contractor Stuart and Company, oneof the biggest construction challengesinvolves the size of the property.

The building and paving take up theentire property limits. There is also anotherbuilding going up about 30 feet from ourbuilding. The roof, along with the exteriorsheathing and waterproofing, are currentlygoing on, as the building is reaching thedried-in stage.

Tramonte, said, The building structure is

erected, and we are putting on roofing andexterior waterproofing. The interior finishesare still remaining, along with the modelsand audio/visual systems.

The property consisted of a grass lot witha few trees that had to be removed. The landwas previously used for a multifamily com-plex. Work on the structure began inFebruary of 2015, and is expected to becomplete by this summer.

The model is reportedly constructed ofhigh-density foam panels that can bereshaped using a computer numerical con-trolled router. The model is being fabricatedby an outside vendor off site, and has to betrucked to the building and set in place andmoved with a jib crane and an overheadbeam crane.

Roughly 8,650 cu. yds. (6,613 cu m) ofdirt are being exported and/or imported onthe project.

The slab is sitting on roughly 1,900 tonsof limestone acting as a capillary barrier toprevent ground water, said Tramonte.There are roughly 1,400 cubic yards of con-crete that went into the foundation and slab,along with 205 concrete piles driven to 50feet below grade.

Unfortunately for crews on site, there wasan eight-month work stoppage, due to therising water level of the Mississippi River.As mandated by the Army Corp ofEngineers, once the river reaches a certainheight, no below grade work no diggingof any sort can be done within 1,500 ft.(457.2 m) of the levee.

This scenario occurred before we wereable to get the building foundation built, pre-venting the progress of the project and caus-ing the delay until the river level recessed,said Tramonte.

Tramonte said the most time-consumingpart of the work will be the exterior faade.

It is very tedious and detailed work, as ithas five different types of metal panels, dec-orative block and decorative exterior sun-shades at the large windows.

Tommy Dauzat, AIA, MougeotArchitecture, said the primary concern forthe creative team was accurate coordinationof the intricate systems required within.

The design of the building not only hadto properly facilitate the function of themodel, but it also had to account and provideprovisions for its delicate installation.Providing a clean separation of public andprivate realm, while still allowing thepatrons the opportunity to view and becomepart of the research, was an inviting chal-lenge, as well.

The building is primarily a two-storystructure clad in a series of panels and bur-nished block.

The 50,000 square-foot building itself is

DBIA Names VDOT 2016 Transportation Owner of the YearThe Design Build Institute of America (DBIA) rec-

ognized the Virginia Department of Transportation(VDOT) as Transportation Owner of the Year at theDBIA Design-Build in Transportation Conference inCharlotte, N.C.

VDOT is a leader in design-build and strives tocontinue its commitment to the program,Commissioner Charles Kilpatrick said. The design-build process is a means to deliver transportation proj-ects faster and more efficiently than traditional meth-ods, while also contributing to economic growth anddevelopment in the commonwealth.

DBIAs Transportation Owner of the Year Awardsrecognize transportation industry organizations thathave made significant contributions in advancing theawareness, understanding and use of the design-buildproject delivery method.

In the design-build method of project delivery, con-tractors and design consultants form an integrated teamto assume the responsibility for design and construc-tion. This single point of responsibility typically resultsin increased innovation and faster project delivery thanthe traditional VDOT-designed and contractor-builtmethod.

The number of design-build projects has steadilyincreased since VDOT first began using the deliverymethod in 2004. Currently, there are 29 design-build projectsin progress, valued at $1.17 billion, which represents 54 per-cent of its total contract value of $2.16 billion.

Award winners are selected by DBIAs Transportation

Committee, comprised of design-build professionals andindustry experts from across the country.

Benchmark Tool & Supply Makes Major Expansion Into Va. By Eric OlsonCEG CORRESPONDENT

A major market expansion is underway for BenchmarkTool & Supply, the North Carolina-based equipment distrib-utor known for its high-quality service to the construction,engineering, surveying and agricultural industries.

Benchmark offers a wide range of products in partner-ships with several prominent OEMs, such as Caterpillar,Komatsu and John Deere, but is perhaps best known for sell-ing the hugely popular Topcon Positioning Systems portfo-lio of products.

Topcons precision devices are prized by contractorseverywhere, but coupled with Benchmarks impeccablesales and service, the dealerships customers have two high-ly trusted names on whom they can depend.

Broadening Its MarketUntil recently, Benchmark has served customers through-

out North Carolina, upstate South Carolina and a small por-tion of eastern Virginia.

Now, the company has decided to widen its market rangeto include the entire state of Virginia, according to ChuckHarris Benchmark president.

That includes the lucrative and always-growing northernVirginia suburbs of Washington, D.C.

Currently, Benchmark is opening locations in Richmondand Chesapeake, with some sub-distribution in the south-western area of the state. Harris said that his company willbolster its efforts along the I-95 corridor, but will eventuallyopen a full-service dealership in the Roanoke area.

We feel like we are well prepared to enter the Virginiamarket, with the presence already of several major accountsthat we have serviced for the past few years, he said. Wehave a very good infrastructure built within our organizationwith strong talent. Our plan is to leverage their abilities topropel and really grow the technologies in the Virginiaregion.

He added that the reasons behind the expansion in the OldDominion State had a lot to do with the demand for their

products and services there. Precision construction, agriculture and civil engineering,

as well as every offshoot of those industries, also are seeingbig growth in all three states that Benchmark serves.

An Innovative Product LineHarris describes Topcon as a very proactive company in

the development of precision equipment and sees its productline as essential tools for any successful construction firm inthe 21st century.

Time is money in construction and Topcon products have

proven to be very innovative, which increases efficiency, hesaid. And we have been able to show our customers exact-ly that with these tools.

Harris construction customers, for example, will typical-ly have that Ah-hah! moment when Benchmark can proveto them the production increase they are getting on a dailybasis.

For example, if you double your daily production num-bers in an accurate manner, the value of the product becomespretty evident, Harris said. Another way to look at it is

Benchmark offers a wide range of products in partnerships with several prominent OEMs, such as Caterpillar,Komatsu and John Deere, but is perhaps best known for selling the hugely popular Topcon Positioning Systemsportfolio of products

Both of Jimmy Lewis & Sons Cat dozers are equipped with Topcon MC systems.

Time is money in construction andTopcon products have proven to be

very innovative, which increases effi-ciency, said Chuck Harris,

Benchmark president.

May Heavy Equipment ExpandsPresence in Eastern North CarolinaBy Eric OlsonCEG CORRESPONDENT

Since last fall, May Heavy Equipment has enjoyed greatsuccess across the whole of North Carolina due to a newacquisition by the highly-respected company.

May purchased Tar Heel Machinery, a company that itselfhad grown to be one of the Raleigh areas top equipmentdealers.

With that investment, May was able to expand its marketinto the Triangle and from there to locales farther east andsouth of Raleigh.

May was looking for a stronger presence in eastern NorthCarolina, add some brick-and-mortar locations, as well assome more personnel in this market, said Mays ScottWoody, general manager of the Clayton location, just outsideRaleigh. They also wanted to be oriented with a companylike Tar Heel.

May occupies Tar Heels former Clayton dealership,where Woody had been that companys co-owner and man-aging member (another Tar Heel store in Reidsville has beenclosed). Other May locations are in Lexington, N.C. and inColumbia and Summerville, S.C., near Charleston.

Besides the Carolinas, May serves customers in Georgiaand Virginia, as well.

Founded in 1997, the company offers contractors through-out the Southeast every type of earthmoving machineryavailable.

With the purchase of Tar Heel, May currently has approx-imately 60 employees.

May Offers Top-Shelf LinesPart of Mays motivation in acquiring the company,

according to Woody, was because it was looking to addanother excavator line and Tar Heel provided that with itsinventory of SANY equipment.

A top-shelf excavator line is the basis for any good rentalcompany, he said.

Bringing on the SANY line is part of Mays desire tobroaden its inventory and assemble an impressive roster ofsmall, independent manufacturers to offer its customers.

That list includes Bell Trucks, Hyundai and Terex Trucks,the dealerships biggest accounts in the Carolinas.

Then there are Bomag compaction equipment, both itsline of milling machines and pavers; Kawasaki wheel load-ers; and small motorgraders from NorAm. Other smallerequipment makers in Mays yards are IHI, Magnum,Hudson Brothers Trailers, LayMor sweepers and Sakai com-paction equipment.

Additionally, Terex Trucks highly-rated heavy equipmentis available to contractors in eastern North Carolina, includ-ing its line of articulated trucks. May also carries Link-Beltexcavators in 15 counties surrounding Raleigh and WakeCounty, Woody said.

We can provide anything you would need to rent for anyconstruction project, Woody said. There is a large rentalfleet here with about 265 machines available right now. Wehave anything, everything and in large quantities.

He also said he expects to get new Kawasaki loaders, inaddition to new Bell Trucks and Terex Truck equipment,delivered to Mays yards in just a few weeks.

Happy Customers Are the KeyIn order to keep his customers satisfied, though, Woody

knows the real work on Mays part comes after the deal isdone and the contractor takes possession of a piece of equip-

ment.

Tar Heel Machinery had always been known for good

service, for being personable, he said. We had always been

a smaller company and that allowed our customers to get to

know us on a personal level. Well, May is exactly the same.

Even though we are a pretty good-sized corporation now, we

arent so large that we have lost touch with our customers.

He said Mays customers understand that they are free to

The company has recently moved from its location at 5423 U.S. Highway 70 Business in Clayton to its new 33,000sq. ft. (3,065 sq m) facility on 19 acres at 555 Wise Rd., Clayton, N.C.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) A newspaper reports that SouthCarolina has paid about $40 million since 2010 to settle roadclaims and lawsuits against the Transportation Department,with much of that money going to settle cases involvingdamages caused by potholes.

The State newspaper in Columbia reported the number ofclaims has averaged 2,600 over the past two years, up from1,600 a year on average during the four preceding years.More than half the claims against DOT since 2010 havebeen for damage caused by potholes.

In the 2005-2006 budget year, the state paid $4.3 millionto settle claims against the Transportation Department. Costsreached $8.2 million in 2014. Pothole-related claims also areon the rise, accounting for roughly 70 percent of claimsagainst DOT, growing to 1,761 in 2015 from 960 in 2010.

Meanwhile, lawmakers are debating how best to fixSouth Carolinas crumbling roads and bridges with Gov.Nikki Haley backing a Senate plan to spend $400 million onroads.

But thats not nearly enough money to fix the roads sinceDOT estimates it would cost an addition $1.2 billion a yearfor nearly three decades to bring the states roads and bridgesto excellent condition, said Ted Pitts, president of the S.C.Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber wants the state to spend at least $600 mil-lion more a year on roads and bridges. That additionalamount spent yearly over a decade would eliminate

structurally deficient and load-restricted bridges while alsoimproving interstate, primary and secondary road surfaces,according to DOT estimates.

According to DOTs estimates, with a one-year injectionof $400 million, you dont address one single secondaryroad bridge, Pitts said. You dont change that at all.

Transportation Secretary Christy Hall has said the $400million would be a welcome start. Any investment in theroad network ... would reduce those numbers, said Hall,referring to damages that DOT pays.

Besides potholes, drivers and pedestrians also havesought money for damages caused by other issues as well,including objects thrown by mowers, painting and resurfac-ing, and drainage and shoulder drop offs.

State law allows drivers or pedestrians who have acci-dents or are injured on the states roads and bridges to fileclaims at the DOT maintenance office in their county.

The Transportation Department has spent $2.3 millionsince 2010 settling some of those claims. Larger claims aresent to the S.C. Insurance Reserve Fund, which has spentmore than $37 million since 2010 settling cases againstDOT.

Thats a poor use of state money, Pitts said. Ask any tax-payer ... theyre going to tell you thats a waste of taxpayerdollars, he said.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) A proposed gasoline taxincrease to pay for road and bridge construction cleared itsfirst hurdle in the Alabama Legislature on March 17.

The House Transportation, Utilities and InfrastructureCommittee approved the bill, sending it to the full House ofRepresentatives for a vote that could come in early April.

The proposal would raise the gasoline tax by 6 cents pergallon, a figure that the bills sponsor, Rep. MacMcCutcheon, said would bring Alabamas fuel tax in linewith neighboring states. The tax would then be adjustedevery four years to equal the average tax in Alabamas fourborder states.

McCutcheon, R-Capshaw, said there is a critical need forinfrastructure improvements in the state.

We cannot continue in our state to allow the infrastruc-ture to deplete because we are afraid to address this issue, astough as it is, McCutcheon said.

McCutcheon said the state hasnt raised gas taxes in morethan 25 years, while the cost of road and bridge constructionhas increased.

The adjustments every four years would assure there issome growth in the tax, although lawmakers could rejectthe increase by passing a joint resolution, he said. The taxwould end in 2027, unless lawmakers vote to renew it.

The committee-passed bill also would place an annual feeon vehicles that run solely on alternative fuels, $100 for eachprivate passenger and $150 for commercial vehicles. Thecommittee approved an amendment to the original bill thatexempted hybrids from the annual fee.

The proposed gas tax increase comes as many lawmakerssay theres no appetite among legislators for tax increases.McCutcheon said it was an investment in Alabamas future.

Rep. Will Ainsworth, R-Guntersville, cast the only novote against the bill in committee

Im just not in favor of the hardworking people inAlabama having to pay any more in taxes, Ainsworth saidafter the committee. I think there is a legitimate argumentthat there needs to be something done to obviously fix theinfrastructure in the state. My position is there are otherthings we could do in reforming government to come upwith the funding, Ainsworth said.

A slightly different gas tax bill was introduced in lastyears special session but never got a floor vote.

Tying it to the southeast average has really helped us interms of members looking at it and understanding that weare not asking for something outlandish, said SonnyBrasfield, executive director, Association of CountyCommissions of Alabama.
