Accelerated Bridge Construction Will Be Used On I-80, I-215 Sterling Construction Company Inc. recently announced its subsidiary, Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction Company LLC, has been selected by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) to renew portions of I-80 and I-215, two major highways in the Salt Lake Valley, to provide improved transportation for both local and interstate travel. The project is scheduled to commence in May 2021 and will take approximately two years to complete. This project consists of the removal and replacement of existing concrete pavement; the design and replacement of four bridge structures; and widening and adding lanes to portions of the highway. Two of the bridges will be constructed utilizing Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), a construction method that involves the use of advanced technologies to assemble a bridge offsite and then transport it to a project site for installation. Joe Cutillo, Sterling’s CEO, commented, “This sizeable project gives us the opportunity to showcase our highly differentiated Accelerated Bridge Construction capabilities. ABC is of great value to project owners as it dramatically shortens the amount of time it takes to replace an existing bridge, which translates into substantially reduced traffic impacts and inconvenience to
will improve both traffic flow and safety for motorists traveling throughout the region. The design-build aspect of this project significantly reduces the risk on larger scale jobs, which is an important aspect of our overall strategy to reduce risk while improving margins. We are looking forward to starting on this important project later this spring and look forward to providing updates on our progress in the coming quarters.”

AGC Members Discuss ‘Focus Four’ at Safety Conference
Presenters included representatives from the Utah Labor Commission, the Mining Safety & Health Administration and leading industry professionals and community organizations.
Topics included MSHA and OSHA changes and new policies; how to improve a company’s safety culture; incident investigation; refocusing on the “focus four”; excavation safety; pre-task safety planning; and arc flash awareness.
Utah contractors, safety suppliers and other safetyminded professionals came together in March at AGC of Utah’s 23rd Annual Safety Conference & MSHA Spring Thaw at the Little America Hotel in Salt Lake City. AGC of Utah members were able to network, visit with friends and meet new acquaintances all while hearing from Utah safety experts and industry leaders. Presenters included representatives from the Utah Labor Commission, the Mining Safety & Health Administration and leading industry professionals and community organizations. Topics included MSHA and OSHA changes and new policies; how to improve a company’s safety culture; incident investigation; refocusing on the 'focus four’: excavation safety; pre-
task safety planning; and arc flash awareness. The Safety Conference also included a breakout for QPRSuicide Prevention Certification, which allowed breakout attendees the opportunity to leave not only with much-needed education and training, but certification for their own professional development. Fifteen companies participated in the conference by joining the vendor exhibition. Companies were able to meet members and guests while sharing their many products and services that were designed with contractors in mind. World-renowned keynote speaker Dan Clark closed out the event, giving members and attendees thoughtful insights in how to improve safety culture through interpersonal team growth.
