A state-of-the-art nano facility is being built at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Mass. The project website noted that recent discoveries have caused a revolution in the understanding of how materials behave at the nanoscale (one billionth of a meter), and MIT researchers are exploring the ways nanoscience and nanotechnology will have an impact. “Even big problems have answers if you have your hands on the right tools,” said L. Rafael Reif, MIT president. “Because nanoscience and nanotechnology are omnipresent in innovation

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Maine State Treasurer Terry Hayes said reached an agreement with Gov. Paul LePage to avoid delaying road construction projects this summer. Hayes said she’s giving in to LePage’s demand to reissue a request for proposal for a state bonding agent — but only after construction bonds Maine Gov. Paul LePage are issued in June. She said she wanted to avoid a protracted fight that could imperil jobs. The Republican governor said he thought the RFP was “underhanded” because the bonding agent wrote the proposal. Hayes, an independent, denied the accusation. She said she wasn’t happy with starting over but will do it “because that what’s necessary to get the construction season back on track.”

LePage said he appreciated the treasurer’s cooperation. LePage called it a procedural disagreement, not a political one. “It is absolutely critical the state supports our construction industry, and I appreciate Treasurer Hayes’s cooperation with me to Maine Treasurer Terry ensure these jobs are not jeopardized,” said LePage. Hayes “This was never a political disagreement; rather it was a procedural one. Most importantly, Mainers can now get to work on improving our roads, bridges and other infrastructure that is so vital to our economy.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Bill Allows MassDOT to Distribute $200M to Local Projects Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker recently signed into law a measure authorizing the state Department of Transportation to distribute $200 million in “Chapter 90” funds to local governments for road-related construction projects. The May 4 announcement said the program reimburses municipalities for project costs and comes from general obligation bond issuances. Included in the $290 million bill is $60 million to fund the Registry of Motor Vehicles’ software platform and $30 million to reauthorize the state’s Mobility Assistance Program. Said Baker: “State support to repair local roads and improve safety is critical for the people, businesses and first responders of Massachusetts. We also are pleased this legislation includes funding to continue the state’s mobility assis-

tance program for the disabled and elderly, as well as overhaul the registry’s software system to improve operations and customer service.” The announcement said Chapter 90 reimburses cities and towns for costs incurred for eligible transportation projects. The municipalities must submit receipts to their MassDOT Highway Division district office, which verifies that the expenditures qualify. Those districts in turn submit the receipts to MassDOT’s fiscal department, which facilitates the reimbursements. It said Chapter 90 funds must be allocated to roadway projects such as resurfacing and related work like preliminary engineering including consultant design agreements, right-of-way acquisition, shoulders, side road approaches, landscaping and tree planting, roadside drainage, structures

including bridges, sidewalks, traffic control and service facilities, street lighting (non-operating costs) and such other purposes as MassDOT may specifically authorize. “This funding underscores our administration’s commitment to work in close collaboration with municipal partners and support their economic development and infrastructure priorities,” said Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack. “We can continue to improve the quality of life in our communities and use transportation infrastructure as a tool to achieve economic goals if we continue to provide capital dollars to cities and towns and allow municipal officials to be empowered to improve their own infrastructure.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

lion by the State Bond Commission from “Let’s Go CT”, will inform future capital investment decisions such as the configuration of new rail stations, rail yard improvements, interlockings — allowing a train to switch from one track to another — and procurement of addition rail cars and locomotives. “This critically important initiative marks the beginning of a new era in the state’s rail system, moving us from the traditional commuter business model to a dynamic, interconnected transit network. Customers and business leaders are demanding these new services, which will unleash the true economic potential of Connecticut’s communities,” said CTDOT Commissioner James Redeker. “With the opening of the Hartford Line next year, we have an opportunity to take a fresh look at rail service across the state, to rethink schedules, fares, branding and other operational details. It will soon be possible to travel with ease between Hartford and the state’s major cities along the coast,” said Richard Andreski, CTDOT bureau chief of public transportation. “The initial phase of the study will look at various concepts and alternatives for future train service and potential investment needs. The first phase including recommendations on the future rail car and locomotive purchases will be completed next year. It will then be up to CTDOT, the General Assembly and the Governor to act on any recommendations,” he said.

MIT Builds State-of-the-Art Nano Facility in Cambridge

Lillie Paquette/MIT School of Engineering photo

MIT.nano will be a 200,000-sq.-ft. building that houses state-of-the-art cleanroom, imaging and prototyping facilities that can support fabrication and characterization processes on the nanoscale.

A state-of-the-art nano facility is being built at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge, Mass.

MIT from page 1

today, a state-of-the-art nano facility is the highest priority for MIT, the School of Science, and the School of Engineering.” The contract, for an undisclosed amount, was awarded to Turner Construction Company, Boston, Mass. The enabling phase of construction began in June 2014, and the target occupancy date is June 2018. MIT.nano will be a 200,000-sq.-ft. building that houses state-of-the-art cleanroom, imaging and prototyping facilities that can support fabrication and characterization processes on the nanoscale. It will be located in the heart of the MIT campus, surrounded on all four sides by existing buildings. Because of this, it is sometimes referred to as building a “ship in a bottle.” Plans are for MIT.nano to support the activities of 2,000 MIT researchers. According to the website, it will “streamline delicate experimentation and prototyping by bringing together complex research activities that are currently distributed around campus. A world-class facility, it will modernize MIT’s research capacity and deepen the collaboration between disciplines, nurturing game-changing ingenuity and advancing the frontiers of innovation without boundaries, for the betterment of humankind.” Working on the project along with Turner are Architect: Wilson Architects, Boston, Mass., and the MIT team, which includes Arne Abramson, Travis Wanat, Andrew Corson, Robert Cunkelman, Frank Higson and Jack Mannion.

Plans are for MIT.nano to support the activities of 2,000 MIT researchers.

The facility will more than double MIT’s shared fabrication and imaging capabilities. It will include two floors of high-performance cleanrooms optimized for energy efficiency, safety, and future flexibility. There will be spaces for prototyping and packaging synthesis, imaging and microscopy, materials and thin film growth, and numerical design. The basement level will be optimized to meet the most stringent nanoscale imaging requirements for lowvibration and low electromagnetic interference (EMI). In addition, there will be meeting spaces, offices for research staff, new undergraduate chemistry teaching laboratories, and a new

outdoor courtyard. According to Travis Wanat of the MIT Department of Facilities, the main challenges with the project involve demolition and building a new facility at the heart of a busy campus. Other difficulties that he noted are “high performance program requirements for nanoscale research (cleanroom/imaging) and designing the MEP infrastructure to meet current and future program performance requirements which are energy intensive while pushing the envelope to operate the building efficiently.” Air filtering systems will feature heat recovery on building exhaust, variable fre-

quency drives on motors that save energy by powering devices up or down based on needs in the space, lowest pressure drop ductwork and filters, and sized exhaust devices that minimize the amount of exhaust needed to maintain the cleanroom air purity and filtration. The project will include 800,000 lbs. of sheet metal ductwork. There will be 35.6 mi. of piping, including 20,000 ft. of fire protection piping, 62,000 ft. of process piping, 60,000 ft. of plumbing piping, 40,000 ft. of HVAC piping, and 6,000 ft. of site utility linear piping. A total of 1.4 million cu. ft. of soil was removed. The project will use 190 mi. of electrical wiring and 3,385 pieces of structural steel, with the average weight per piece at 2,101 lbs. The project averages 350 workers per day on site, and will use 12,000 total cu. yds. of concrete in the entire project, 530,000 linear ft. of rebar, 40,000 sq. ft. of slurry wall, and 550,000 lbs. of steel bracing to temporarily support the slurry wall during excavation. see MIT page 14

Baker, Polito Cut Ribbon on $20M Boston Landing Station The Baker-Polito Administration, state transit and local elected officials and New Balance executives celebrated the ribbon-cutting of the new $20-million Boston Landing Commuter Rail Station, privately financed by New Balance, and restoring commuter rail service to the Allston-Brighton community for the first time since the 1960s, effective for riders on Monday, May 22. The ceremony was attended by Gov. Charlie Baker, Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito; Stephanie Pollack, transportation secretary and CEO; Steven Poftak and Monica Tibbits-Nutt, MBTA fiscal and management control board members; Brian Shortsleeve, MBTA chief administrator and acting general manager; Jeff Gonneville, MBTA chief operating officer; David Scorey, Keolis Commuter Services general manager and CEO; Representative Michael Moran; Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh; Jim Davis, New Balance chairman; and other state and local officials and private partner executives. “The opening of Boston Landing Station highlights a successful collaboration between the state, city, and New Balance to expand development and transit opportunities for the Allston-Brighton community,” said Baker. “Rewarding projects such as this one spur local economic development and community growth as we continue to prioritize investments that make our public transit system more reliable for riders.” The station, located adjacent to the Massachusetts Turnpike on Guest Street, will be the seventeenth on the MBTA Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail Line, which has undergone additional infrastructure improvements, including restored double-tracking and the replacement of more than 50,000 rail ties, to increase performance reliability and reduce heat-related speed restrictions. The MBTA’s private commuter rail operator and partner, Keolis Commuter Services, helps to identify infrastructure upgrades and implements many of these enhancements throughout the network in close coordination with the MBTA. “Strong public and private partnerships are working together to improve reliability and transit options for the communities served by this line and the whole system,” said Polito. “The addition of Boston Landing Station, along with infrastructure and schedule improvements, will help deliver greater performance for residents and employees of this neighborhood, and all along the Framingham/Worcester Line.” Construction of the $20-million station began in October 2015, and was financed by New Balance, who will continue to pay for all maintenance costs of the station for the first ten years of its service. A successful example of public-private partnerships and transit-oriented development, Boston Landing Station comes as part of the 15-acre, 2.15 million sq. ft. Boston Landing Development site, which will at full build-out include new office, lab, retail, restaurant and open space; a 295-unit mixed-use residential complex; a 175room hotel; and the practice facilities of the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics. Significant improvements to local public roadway and infrastructure are also planned. “Skanska is proud to have served NB Development and the MBTA to construct the new Boston Landing train station, and to deliver sustainable, efficient infrastructure that matches the aesthetic appeal of New Balance’s world headquarters campus,” said Paul Pedini, vice president of operations at Skanska USA, who leads the firm’s civil practice throughout

New England. “Unique to construction companies in the Boston marketplace, we were able to combine our complex building management capabilities and MBTA-prequalified self-perform heavy civil expertise to safely complete this project, while facilitating the commuter and freight rail needs of the Framingham/Worcester Line.” “MBTA and MassDOT, with the support of Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Polito, are committed to collaborating with external partners such as New Balance in order to provide the public with transit options,” said Pollack. “Boston Landing Station is an example of a privatepublic partnership that will generate jobs, encourage mass

transit use, and serve as a catalyst for more economic activity in this neighborhood.” “As Boston continues to grow and thrive, we need transportation that matches our City’s needs,” said Walsh. “Boston Landing is a big step for transportation in our city, and a big day for Allston-Brighton. I’d like to thank the Commonwealth and New Balance for making this publicprivate partnership possible.” The station features a high-level, canopied single platform centered between the eastbound and westbound tracks and see STATION page 18

includes accessible, redundant elevators and ramps. The station is designed to provide easy access for employees, visitors, and residents of the Boston Landing development and surrounding Allston-Brighton neighborhood. “We’re excited for the completion of Boston Landing Station and to open it to the Allston-Brighton community,” said Shortsleeve. “Through this public-private partnership and the use of pre-existing rail infrastructure, we’re able to provide a new transit option that makes it easier than ever for people to travel to and from downtown Boston.”

“Boston Landing is the latest example of how public-private partnerships can enhance the Commuter Rail offering for our passengers and benefit the community,” said Scorey. “Together with the MBTA, we look forward to continuing to dedicate resources and time to further improve both reliability and convenience. This includes initiatives such as the creation of this new station and other improvements and upgrades across the network that will help make the Commuter Rail an even more attractive option for people in the greater Boston area.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
