GTC awarded ACI Pittsburgh Chapter’s Excellence in Concrete Award



On Friday evening, April 28th, Golden Triangle Construction was awarded the ACI Pittsburgh Chapter’s Excellence in Concrete Award for our work on the Yukon/Madison Interchange project on I-70 over the last few years! The project included 213,000 SY of new concrete pavement and the structural concrete supply for 7 structures. Great job to all GTC crews who worked on this award winning project!

Clinton-Frankfort Road Bridge Emergency Project

Project Updates
3-13-23

The waterway permit for the start of the bridge replacement phase of the project was approved and work resumed on March 10, 2023. Excavation for the abutments has started with the abutments anticipated to be formed and poured over the next 1-3 weeks. At this time it is anticipated the bridge will be open to traffic in late spring or early summer.

Project Overview:
On September 9th, 2022, a truck collided with the wingwall of the single-lane stone arch bridge carrying SR 3082 (Clinton-Frankfort Road) over Potato Garden Run in Independence Township, Beaver County. This collision caused the masonry wingwall to collapse and caused damage to the headwall over the arch. Upon inspection, it was determined that the road needed to be closed and that the bridge would need to be replaced.

PennDOT obtained approval for emergency procurement, and the emergency contract with Golden Triangle Construction/Mackin Engineering has been executed to immediately begin design efforts and mobilize to remove the existing bridge.

$2,970,000 in federal funding has been obtained for the replacement of this critical link. The federal funds are a direct result of the additional funds made available in Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2022 and 2023 from the Bi-Partisan Infrastructure Law and will not impact any regionally funded projects.  

The Clinton-Frankfort Road Bridge is classified as a minor collector and has an average daily traffic (ADT) volume of 1,519 vehicles per day. The replacement bridge will be 30 feet wide to carry two 11-foot wide lanes and 4-foot wide shoulders on each side. The proposed structure will be a rigid frame structure, which is made up of vertical abutment walls and a top slab, and riding surface. The alignment of the road will be changed slightly to improve the sight distance approaching the bridge. Molds and dye will be used to design the wingwalls to look like stone. In addition, the stream crossing will be brought up to current safety standards. The existing roadway is posted for a 10-ton weight limit, and this posting will not change once the bridge is replaced. In an effort to improve safety along the entire length of Clinton-Frankfort Road, larger weight limit signs and additional directional signs will be added to redirect trucks away from the Clinton-Frankfort Road bridge.

GTC Managers in conjunction with CAWP Walk in the Footsteps of Leaders at Gettysburg!

GTC Managers join the Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania (CAWP) Members to Walk in the Footsteps of Leaders at Gettysburg!

On May 19 & 20, CAWP hosted 15 attendees for a unique and engaging leadership program.

In the Footsteps of Leaders: Gettysburg Leadership Program uses lessons learned on the battlefield at Gettysburg and helps apply those lessons to today’s workforce.

For two days, the attendees walked in the footsteps of leaders, learned about the decisions those individuals made, and discussed the ramifications of those choices. Participants were then asked how they would be able to implement those lessons within their own organizations.

 

Arnold Palmer Regional Airport scheduled to reopen Friday, 9/25!

Golden Triangle Construction is on schedule to reopen the Arnold Palmer Regional Airport on Friday Morning, September 25th at 6:00AM.  The airport has been closed since 8:00PM on September 8th to complete drainage and electrical work inside the runway safety area as well as to do the final paving and painting of the runway.  The project to widen and strengthen Runway 6/24 to support larger aircraft began in April and was constructed mostly under nightly closures.

Runway Widening at Westmoreland County Airport

17,447 tons of asphalt has been placed to date!

Golden Triangle crews have been working hard at the Westmoreland County Airport! 

The project included the widening of runway 6/24 from 100 to 150 feet, 25 feet on each side of the runway, with over 40,000 CY of excavation, 17,000 LF of underdrain, 90,000 tons of aggregate subbase, and 19,000 tons of asphalt. .  In addition, 1000 feet of the Runaway was overlaid with 3 inches of asphalt where permanent light fixtures were installed.  The work occurs during nightly closures of the Runway.

Route 30 Emergency Slide Remediation – AWARD WINNER!

Golden Triangle Construction was the contractor on this Emergency job in 2018. For the reconstruction of SR30 which included construction of a 400 LF solider pile retaining wall with tiebacks, 35,000 CY of excavation, 30,000 CY of rock embankment, 15,000 of soil embankment, and reconstruction of the roadway.   The schedule required working 7 days per week, 24 hours per day.

The project has been selected to receive a National Award from the Association of Environmental and Engineering Geologists as their Outstanding Environmental and Engineering Geologic Project, nominated by their Greater Pittsburgh Chapter.  More about the award can be found here https://www.aegweb.org/OEEGProjectAward. 

“a. NATIONAL SIGNIFICANCE OF PROJECT
U.S. Route 30 is a major east–west, coast-to-coast highway. The roadway is the third longest U.S. highway, extending 3,073 miles across the northern tier of the U.S. from Atlantic City, New Jersey, to Salt Lake City, Utah. The portion of Route 30 extending through Pennsylvania is perhaps the most famous of all the U.S. highways, the Lincoln Highway, known as one of the earliest transcontinental highway routes for automobiles across the U.S. Today, the route stretches between two major cities of the Commonwealth, east from Philadelphia west to Pittsburgh.
On April 6, 2018, on a four-lane stretch of the Lincoln Highway located in East Pittsburgh Borough, Allegheny County, engineers from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and Gannett Fleming were investigating a troubled section of Route 30. The roadway, a principal artery between the suburbs and downtown Pittsburgh, was experiencing surface displacement problems.
The investigation revealed much more than expected. The team detected a crack in a retaining wall near the base of the slope below the highway, as well as signs that the retaining wall was beginning to shift—evidence that accelerating surface movements identified at the roadway grade, may be the result of underlying slope movement. Recognizing imminent danger, the team alerted police to evacuate a residential community at the base of the slope.
Within hours and shortly before daybreak on April 7, a landslide sent 300 feet of roadway and thousands of tons of soil plummeting 90 feet down the steep hillside, destroying a home and two apartment buildings.”
