The Ohio Department ofTransportation (ODOT) is in themidst of a multi-year program toreplace the functionally obsoleteand structurally deficient InnerbeltBridge crossing the CSX andNorfolk Southern railroad tracks,city streets and Cuyahoga River indowntown Cleveland. The twonew George V. Voinovich Bridgeson Interstate 90 replacing the sin-gle 55-year-old structure will carryeastbound and westbound trafficthrough downtown and are just apart of the multibillion dollarInnerbelt Corridor revitalizationprogram. The more than half-billion dol-

lar bridge investment has alreadyseen completion of one, 4,347-ft.(1,325 m) long bridge and demoli-tion of the old Innerbelt Bridge.Construction has commenced onthe second 3,918-ft-long (1,194-m)twin structure and, when complet-ed in 2016, will add lane capacityto more efficiently and safely carrythe 140,000 vehicles travelingthrough the downtown area everyday. A design-build method —con-

structed by a joint venture betweenconstruction giants Trumbull,Great Lakes and Ruhlin (TGR)and designed by URS Corporation— is being used to save time. TGRpurchased a Terex Bid-Well 4800paver specifically for the project,and crews planned to use it in mul-tiple ways to complete variousproject segments more efficientlyto save time, labor and pavingdays.

Weekend WarriorTGR’s first planned project for

the paver was flatwork paving aportion of East 9th Street in busydowntown Cleveland. “People often think of the 4800

paver as a bridge paver,” saidMarty Bachey, Terex Bid-Wellregional sales manager. “While iteffectively paves bridges, it alsocan be equipped with a spud vibra-

tor for efficiently paving roads,similar to what TGR planned.” This small section of roadway

carries three lanes of traffic andoffers access to I-90 West. “The paving width for this proj-

ect started at 50-ft. wide andtapered to 24-ft. wide,” said FentonMoore, superstructure superin-tendent of TGR. The challenge of paving this

150-ft. (45.7 m) stretch of road wasto complete the project, start to fin-ish, over one weekend, so traffichad to be diverted to use alternateroutes. TGR meticulously plannedthe project. Removal of the exist-ing road and installation, gradingand compaction of subbase materi-al was to be completed Fridaynight into Saturday morning.Paving with the 4800 paver of a

medium-set, 24-hour-cure con-crete would take place onSaturday. Finally, the crew wouldoverlay the 9-in. (22.8 cm) con-crete base with 3 in. (7.6 cm) ofasphalt Monday morning beforebeing reopened to traffic later thatday. For this portion of the project,

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is in the midst of a multi-year program to replace the functionally obsolete and struc-turally deficient Innerbelt Bridge crossing the CSX and Norfolk Southern railroad tracks, city streets and Cuyahoga River in down-town Cleveland.

Cleveland Cavaliers Games Slow Progress on ProjectTGR planned to equip the paverwith 24-ft. (7.3 m) end segments toallow up to 21-ft. (6.4-m) variablewidth paving at the right and leftsegments. This would allow thecrew to vary paving widths by upto 42 ft. (12.8 m), offering morethan enough capacity to meet the25-ft. (7.6 m) taper on East 9thStreet. Since TGR was prepared to use

the 4800 paver for this project, thethree manholes in this stretch ofroad were placed at grade withoutthe need to construct box-outs, sav-ing prep and paving time. “The operator can just lift the

spud vibrator from the platform,move the paving carriage acrossthe manhole and then reinsert thevibrators into the concrete,” saidFenton. The job was planned for early

summer, but factors outside ofTGR’s control significantlydelayed the project. The ClevelandCavaliers’ run into the NBA post-season saw home games takingplace over the weekends, “andthere was no way we would havebeen allowed to close East 9thStreet with both home basketballand baseball games taking placeover the weekend,” said Moore. Second, the weather did not

cooperate, as more than two-thirdsof the days in June saw measurablerainfall. Weather-related issuescontinually pushed back pavingdates to the end of June to pour the180 cu. yd. (138 cu m) of medium-set ODOT 4,500 PSI concrete.With a looming July start-date forcritical bridge deck pouring, TGRofficials made the decision to pullthe 4800 paver from the East 9thStreet project and subcontractedthe flatwork paving to another con-tractor.

Spreading the LoadWith street paving shifted over

to the subcontractor, TGR focusedits efforts solely on the July start todeck pouring with the 4800 paverfor the $273 million eastboundtraffic bridge. Placement widthalong the 3,918-ft. (1,194 m) long

bridge varies from 119 ft. (36.3 m)to 87 ft. (26.5 m) wide on the mainviaduct spans, and “the eastapproach measures 87 feet to 114feet [34.7 m] wide,” said JeffLawson, viaduct superintendent ofTGR.To complete the paving and

placement projects, TGR pur-chased 126 ft. (38.4 m) of machineframe for the 4800 paver. Two, 15-ft. (4.6 m) transition segmentswere included in the frame’s con-struction. These inserts help main-tain machine structural rigidity andmeet the bridge deck’s stringent,0.125 in. (.3 cm) per 10 ft. (3 m)length smoothness specification. “Our transition segments

increase frame depth from 48 in. atthe ends to 66 in. in the center toprovide a solid frame when pavingat extended widths for the paving

carriage to travel,” said Bachey. In total, the bridge deck will

require 15,000 cu. yds. (11,468 cum) of an ODOT Class QC2/QAconcrete with designed strengthmeeting 4,500 PSI. Deck place-ment was segmented into fivedeck-pours for the east approachand 19 pours for the main spans.While the bridge piers are posi-tioned at skews to the centerline,the pours are broken up to whereall are placed radially, so TerexBid-Well’s available skew bar kitfor the paving carriage is notrequired for this project. Most critical for deck placement

is distribution of machine weighton the overhang brackets. To coun-teract machine weight deflectingthe rail, TGR equipped its paverwith the optional six-wheel bogiesystem instead of the machine’sstandard four wheel bogies.

“The 4800 design begins withall welded construction for maxi-mum frame strength with mini-mum weight to help prevent tor-sional deflection,” said Bachey.“Using the six-wheel bogie systemspreads machine weight over an18-ft. span, which is about 36 per-cent wider than the standard fourbogies. This further aids contrac-tors working in states like Ohio tomeet stringent deflection specs.”In mid-July, TGR’s crews began

the first of five pours to pave the908 ft. (277-m) east bridgeapproach, which encompasses fourspans and requires 2,800 cu. yds.(79 cu m) of concrete. The initialpour called for variable widthpaving of more than 30 ft. (9.1 m)from start to finish. With themachine’s frame offering up to 42ft. (12.8 m) of leg travel to provideon-the-fly width changes, “the

4800 accommodated the variablewidth paving without any issues,”said Lawson. Paving of the fourbridge spans of the east approachwent smoothly. By purchasing the 4800 paver

specifically for paving on theGeorge V. Voinovich Bridge proj-ect, TGR and Lawson are confi-dent that they have the machineconfigured to meet any pavingchallenge encountered completethe rest of the bridge work. “Terex Bid-Well pavers are the

only machines I have used, andthey performed well on the firstfive pours, so I foresee no issues onthe horizon for this rest of this proj-ect,” said Lawson.

Yoder & Frey Auctioneers Inc. announced an addition toits auction schedule: the grand opening of the Ashland, Ohio,Annual Consignment Auction.Yoder & Frey Auctioneers is an Ohio-based auction com-

pany that has been serving the auction needs of the local andglobal community for more than 52 years. Though it has alarge global presence in the heavy equipment industry, tradi-tion and family value has remained crucial to Yoder & Freythroughout its successes. For this reason, when owner PeterClark heard there was a demand for an auction in theAshland, Ohio, area he began working with local businessesto try and assist the needs of the community.“We have buyers and sellers from all different parts of the

world and we value those relationships, but when someoneis telling you there’s a need and it’s right in your back yard,well, you just can’t ignore it,” Clark said.This isn’t the first time Yoder & Frey has assisted with

public demand. Much like the new Ashland addition, theKissimmee Winter Auction started in a similar fashion andcelebrated its 42nd Annual Winter Auction in Kissimmee,Fla., this past February. Yoder & Frey was the first auctioncompany to bring heavy equipment auctions to the Orlandoarea. Beginning in 1975, the company held its first Floridaauction, which consisted of one main consigner and lastedonly one day.Clark said, “though our chances of success were slim, we

ended up raising 2.8 million dollars by the end of the day,which was a lot during that time.”By 1979 it had grown to 7.5 million and gained a heavy

following. Years later, several auction companies beganholding winter auctions in Florida as well, creating theFlorida auction landscape we see today. Annually, Yoder &Frey has brought thousands of construction equipment pro-fessionals and enthusiasts to Florida, many of them interna-tional buyers.With the new Ashland, Ohio, addition, owner Peter Clark

hopes to offer opportunities for successful heavy equipmentauctions to individuals and companies in the surroundingareas.“You shouldn’t have to go to Florida to be able to get a

nice piece of heavy equipment or vehicles. Some peopledon’t have time for that,” Clark said. “What we are trying todo is more than auctions though. It’s empowering communi-ties, building relationships and helping local economies. Weare from Ohio, let’s support Ohio.”The First Annual Consignment Auction is scheduled for

May 17, 2016, at 9 a.m. Registration begins May 16, 2016.There will be a grand opening ribbon cutting that evening.
