Ben Roethlisberger stopped by our Atlantic Aviation job today and took time to snap a picture with Golden Triangle’s crew.
Two Pittsburgh Sports Legends have now signed our excavator. Big Ben and Sidney Crosby side by side!
Golden Triangle Construction crews worked diligently repairing a section of Route 30 in East Pittsburgh that collapsed during a landslide last month. Today is the day! The road has re-opened to traffic 3 days ahead of schedule. Take a look at that before and after shot. #GTProud

Innovative Applications
I-79/I-70 South Junction
The I-79/I-70 South Junction Interchange Improvement Project in South Strabane Township, Washington County, PA, eliminated a severely curved connector ramp and replaced it with a large nine-span flyover bridge and new ramp system. The existing curved ramp had been the site of numerous accidents.

“The 2013 Concrete Quality Excellence Award, less than $20 million goes to Golden Triangle Construction Company, Imperial PA, for their Charles Town Route 9 Bypass, Charles Town in Jefferson County,” Snyder said. “The $13.2 million project involved approximately 3 miles of four lane of cement concrete paving with shoulders. The project used an accelerated schedule of five, 10-hour shifts to six, 10-hours shifts in order to keep schedule. “
The project also used stringless technology and the subbase and the cement treated permeable base was placed using an ABG Hi-Density Paver. This provided 90-95 percent compaction prior to placing a smooth drum roller to compact the material. The roll down to achieve the proper compaction was minimized, causing the grade to be much more accurate. The notice to proceed was given February 4, 2012. The September 30 completion date was moved to November 14 due to a weather delay from Hurricane Sandy. CAWV material suppliers include Aggregate Industries and Essroc.
Roller Compacted Concrete offers tremendous opportunity for our industry. It may be used in commercial, industrial or street and local road applications. Before it can be used in the latter market, industry must be sure that PennDot will accept it as a paving alternative. Golden Triangle Consruction has been working very hard toward that goal, and they’ve placed RCC at some of their plants for material storage.
The company recently has the opportunity to work with PennDot District 11, paving a section of road shoulder on State Route 910. Working in conjunction with the department’s ETI division, a change order was processed to allow the placement of RCC directly over the existing asphalt shoulder. The RCC placement was 10 feet wide and 1,817 feet long.
Produced in a central mix plant 20 miles from the site, Tri-axle dump trucks delivered 10 yard quantities of the material to the jobsite. Placement of the RCC was facilitated with a high density paving machine that produced 98 percent compaction directly out of the paver and before roller compaction. Compaction is seen as a key element in the placement of quality RCC. Following installation, the material was sprayed with white pigmented curing compound to ensure proper curing.
Because PennDot is using the project for research, they will revisit the site periodically for the next three years for inspections. Industry will continue to work with the department on this technology in the hopes of accelerating the decision making process.
The Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania was recognized during Associated General Contractors of America”s (AGC) 92nd Annual Convention in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Association was awarded the 2010 Chapter of the Year for its outstanding membership service in the areas of labor relations, workforce development, environmental regulatory issues and involvement in the local community.
“CAWP has provided vital support for thousands of hard working construction contractors,” said Ted Aadland, the association”s president and the CEO of Portland, Oregon-based Aadland Evans Constructors, Inc. “Without their tireless efforts, it is hard to imagine where our industry would be today.”
Constructors Association of Western Pennsylvania took “Small Chapter of the Year” for its outstanding workforce development initiatives, diesel retrofit program, promotion of joint training among the union apprenticeship programs, and its work in the community, including the CAWP Constructing Our Community Program, which provided over $25,000 in financial support to the Wounded Warriors Program as a token of gratitude to the brave men and women who were injured fighting to keep America safe.
Aadland noted that CAWP had also found new and effective ways to communicate with its members, issuing e-newsletters and keeping its member companies up to date on local business and political developments. He added that the chapter distinguished itself for its ability to advocate on behalf of the construction community.
Lifetime Pavement Recognition Award – Awarded annually since 1994, the award is presented to the agency owner of an in-service concrete pavement that has demonstrated exceptional performance and service to its local community, state, and users. (This recognition rotates annually between public market segments: highway, street and airport. The 2010 award is presented for a highway pavement.)
For 2010, the ACPA Lifetime Pavement Recognition award is presented to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation and Golden Triangle Construction, Company for Interstate 79 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This Interstate highway section has demonstrated outstanding performance in providing more than 20 years of zero-maintenance service to road users, citizens and taxpayers of Pennsylvania. The concrete pavement has stood the test of time and is a testament to the durability and longevity of concrete and the importance of quality construction and design .
