Submittal of nominations for projects completed in 2017 will be accepted by ACPA/National beginning in April. Visit the Awards page on the ACPA/PA website for information about the national program as well as information about the soon to be announced ACPA/PA local awards program. ACPA Excellence in Concrete Pavement - 2017 Silver Award - Commercial Service & Military Airports
Owner: Allegheny County Airport Authority Contractor: Golden Triangle Construction Company Design Engineer: Michael Baker International
Runway 14-32 Rehabilitation, Pittsburgh International Airport, Findlay Township
When bids were let for the reconstruction of the cross wind Runway 14-32, Golden Triangle was the successful bidder on all six con- struction bids. The project involved removal and replacement of 185,936 SY of concrete pavement. All the concrete was produced using Golden Triangle’s portable batch plant set up on airport prop- erty about 20 minutes from the project site.
In addition to the concrete pavement replacement, the project included subgrade, base, and drainage improvements along with complete asphalt shoulder replacement, as well as electrical circuit, lighting, and airfield signage replacement. The original concrete pavement was crushed to a 2A or R4 gradation and was either used on the project or was stock piled on airport property for future reuse by the owner. All the bituminous asphalt was milled and stockpiled on site for future reuse by the owner. Precise grade control was a must as the runway intersected with two other parallel runways and intersected with 10 taxiways. The initial phases used traditional string line paving techniques, and then transitioned to GPS and string-less technology.
Close coordination was required with multiple subcontractors, as well as multiple prime contractors on adjacent airport projects. There were also rigorous quality control requirements to meet FAA specifications, and testing results to confirm consistency. Making this project even more challenging were the many sub-phases of each of the six construction phases, which led to many working restrictions and extremely tight time frames. In spite of all these factors, project milestones and completion dates were met and the owner and air travelers to the region now have a reliable, high quality facility. Technical Resources

Moderator: Christine Reilly, P.E., PennDOT Bureau of Project Delivery
1:30 pm Airport Runway Rehabilitation David M. Sciullo, P.E., Golden Triangle Construction This presentation will give an overview of the Runway 14-32 reconstruction project at Pittsburgh International Airport. The project consists of a total of 6 separate contracts spread out over 6 construction seasons requiring the total concrete pavement replacement of the 8200’ Runway along with partial reconstruction of other intersecting runways and taxiways.
2:00 pm Scoping Interstate Overlay Projects Gordon L. Smith, P.E., NCPTC Concrete overlays are being more widely adopted, nationwide, as an alternative for pavement resurfacing in these times when agencies are striving to optimize construction and maintenance expenditures. The presentation will draw from and identify several National CP Tech Center publications as we explore the topic of scoping Interstate overlay projects. The objective is to provide the audience with knowledge about choosing the right candidate for a concrete overlay.
2:30 pm Placement & Performance of Precast Panel Patches Justin D. Blakeney, P.E. PennDOT District 3 & Joshua J. Haladay, Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc.

Moderator: Lydia E. Peddicord, P.E., PennDOT Bureau of Project Delivery
8:00 am ASR Specification Updates Jim Casilio, P.E., Pennsylvania Aggregates & Concrete Association & Richard R. Jucha, P.E., ACPA Pennsylvania Chapter New specifications for mitigating ASR in concrete will take effect in April 2018, with new requirements for designing concrete mixes, and reviewing these mixes for approval. We will provide a brief review of these requirements.
8:30 am Unbonded Concrete Overlay Design Lev Khazanovich, PhD., P.E., University of Pittsburgh A “separated concrete overlay,” or an “unbonded concrete overlay,” is a Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement slab that is separated from the existing PCC slab by a separation layer (also called interlayer). Historically, unbonded overlays have been built with a conservative design. The ongoing FHWA-sponsored pooled find study has the objective to develop improved guidelines for the design and construction features of unbonded overlays that highway agencies can use to accurately predict their performance life. To meet these goals, a mechanistically-based design procedure will be proposed. The presentation will give an update on the results of the laboratory investigation and structural modeling conducted under this study. The effect of an interlayer on the long-term performance of an unbonded overlay will be highlighted.
9:00 am Performance Engineered Mixes Robert Conway, P.E., FHWA Resource Center Discussion of Performance Engineered Concrete Pavement Mixture (PEM) concepts and implementation. Will highlight the AASHTO PP 84-17 PEM Guidance and the Pooled Fund implementation efforts.
9:30 am Dowel Alignment, Specifications & Construction Mark B. Snyder, P.E., PhD., PERC This presentation will describe the development of the guide specification, including: the development of a specification philosophy that protects the interests of both the agency and the contractor; documentation of the analytical and laboratory test work that was considered in the establishment of acceptance and rejection thresholds; and lessons learned (and modifications that resulted) from early implementation efforts.

DID YOU KNOW?
Winning Super Bowl LII brought to Broad Street the Lombardi Trophy for the very first time, and ended a championship drought for the Eagles that lasted fifty-eight years. In the 1960 Championship Game being played on Monday, December 26, at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, the Green Bay Packers trailed by four points with just over a minute left in the game. Starting on their own 35-yard line, the Packers drove deep into Eagles territory. On the 22-yard line with seconds to play and no time-outs left, Bart Starr threw a short pass to Jim Taylor. It was “Concrete Charlie” Bednarik, the last Eagle between Taylor and the end zone, that tackled Taylor at the 10-yard line. Bednarik remained atop Taylor until the final seconds ticked off the clock, ensuring that the Packers could not run another play. This preserved the 17-13 victory over Green Bay, and marked the lone playoff loss for the legendary Coach Vince Lombardi.
“Concrete Charlie” was the last professional football 60-minute man, playing offense, defense, and special teams. He was a ferocious tackler feared by those who opposed him. However, contrary to popular belief, as tough as Bednarik was, it was not his play on the gridiron that earned him his nickname. During the off-season and after practices, “Concrete Charlie” worked as a concrete salesman for the Warner Company.

Anti-Trust Statement The American Concrete Pavement Association, Pennsylvania Chapter (ACPA/PA) assigns the highest priority to full compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the antitrust laws. It is vital that this Conference be conducted in a manner consistent with that policy. If at any time during the course of the Conference, an ACPA/PA member or staff believe that a sensitive topic under the antitrust laws is being discussed, or is about to be discussed, they will so advise the Conference attendees and halt further discussion. As attendees at this Conference, you should likewise not hesitate to voice any concerns that you may have in this regard. It is important to bear in mind that those in attendance at this Conference may be your competitors. Any discussions of commercial matters with one’s competitors may create the appearance of an antitrust violation, even though there is none. Therefore, such discussion should be avoided at all times, before, during and after the Conference.
