mobility. “Currently, Bangerter Highway operates using a series of traffic signals at a majority of its intersections, which has begun causing significant congestion in recent years for traffic on both Bangerter Highway and its accompanying east-west cross streets,” said Tim Beery, UDOT Region 2 communications manager. “Freeway-style interchanges along Bangerter Highway will allow traffic to move freely and efficiently in all directions. It also will improve safety and reduce the risk of accidents by having fewer traffic signal movements on the cross streets.”
CEG CORRESPONDENT
With funding available, UDOT planners decided to construct four interchange projects concurrently. Construction crews are busy working on four Bangerter Highway (UT-154) interchange projects: 5400 South, 7000 South, 9000 South and 11400 South in South Valley. The projects, costing an estimated $200 million, are paid for with state funds. Bangerter Highway runs north and south in the area and provides an alternative to taking heavily used Interstate 15 to the east. The projects, overseen by the Utah Department of Transportation, will allow free east-west movements and improve safety and regional

Duncan Aviation Breaks Ground on $70M Provo Facility Duncan Aviation has begun construction on a new business aircraft maintenance, modifications and paint complex at its Provo, Utah, location. Dirt has been moved in place for the ramp base and site preparation has started for the large maintenance and modifications center, which includes an innovative paint facility. “We have started installing Geopiers, which are deep stabilization piers, and will soon begin pouring footings and foundations,” said Bill Prochazka, chief operating officer of Duncan Aviation’s Provo location. “If the early winter weather cooperates with those two items, we could be putting up steel this winter.” Building on nearly 45 acres of land at the Provo Municipal Airport, Duncan Aviation will add nearly 275,000-sq.-ft. of buildings with a 222,000-sq.-ft. maintenance and modifications center and a 53,000-sq.-ft. paint facility. The maintenance and completions facility will have large hangar spaces along with backshop and office space. The new paint structure will have the latest down-draft air flow technology, including automatic monitoring and alarms, to provide the best paint environment possible for aircraft. To increase efficiency, the paint hangar is designed to accommodate multiple aircraft at once, utilizing a two-zone airflow system. With this design, Duncan Aviation paint teams can perform stripping, sanding, painting and detail work on multiple aircraft simultaneously. The facility, which will cost more than $70 million and is being built by Tectonic Management Group Inc., will allow input of some of the largest business aircraft in use today. The expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2019. “Tectonic is proud to continue the tradition of designing and building world-class business jet service centers for Duncan Aviation,” said Kevin Larson, a Tectonic architect. “Over the last 18 years, we have completed more than 20 major projects for Duncan Aviation and are excited to be leading the design and construction for this new facility in Provo.
Provo Municipal Airport
“Provo will be different from other projects in that it is a complete, greenfield project and there is a great deal of site development coordination with the city. We have years of accumulated experience working with Duncan Aviation and have applied that experience to the design of this facility, creating a unique architectural customer experience. “We are excited to provide Duncan Aviation and its customers with an efficient, state-of-the-art aviation campus.” Duncan Aviation is ready to provide this option to its customers as well. “We consistently hear from operators in the western United States that they would like to see more investment in a Duncan Aviation location closer to their home base,” said Aaron Hilkemann. “The Provo area is the perfect complement to our other full-service facilities in Battle Creek, Mich., and Lincoln, Neb. That is why we initially started our Provo facility. “The plan has always been to expand that original footprint and build a new facility from the ground up. We are
pleased to announce that those plans are now under way, allowing us to meet the upcoming maintenance and completions demands from in the area and around the world.” On Aug. 1, 2010, Duncan Aviation opened its doors in Provo. Since then, the Duncan Aviation Provo team has provided major and minor hourly and calendar inspections, linelevel engine and avionics support, and interior work for business aircraft from across Europe, the Pacific Rim and the Americas. Recently, the facility added non-destructive testing capabilities to its repair certificate. “Seven years ago, 14 Duncan Aviation team members ventured west to start Duncan Aviation’s newest heavy maintenance location,” Prochazka said. “We were met with enthusiasm and professionalism from every direction, through our discussions with the state, Utah County and Provo City. “Today we are 40 strong, on our way to 400+. We will be making announcements regarding openings for key positions and will be recruiting internally within Duncan Aviation and externally for a number of positions over the next couple of years. It’s an exciting time to be in the business aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul sector, and to be a part of this great company as we provide high quality and responsive service to corporate business jet operators from around the world.” Duncan Aviation has invested more than $208 million in facilities, tooling and new capabilities and more than $53 million in training over the last 20 years. “We are dedicated to business aviation, our customers and team members and every decision we make is made with them and the future in mind,” Hilkemann said.

Utah Seeks $1.9B From EPA to Clean Up Mine-Waste Spill By Dan Elliott ASSOCIATED PRESS
Utah is asking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for $1.9 billion in damages after the EPA inadvertently triggered a multi-state spill from an old gold mine in Colorado, the Utah Attorney General’s Office confirmed. The state filed the claim in February but never publicly announced it, said Dan Burton, a spokesman for the attorney general. Word of the claim first surfaced Aug. 4 when the EPA made a passing reference to it in a news release. It is by far the largest known claim stemming from the August 2015 spill from the inactive Gold King Mine in southwestern
Colorado, and it brings the total to at least $2.3 billion. The Navajo Nation filed a claim for $162 million and the state of New Mexico sought $130 million. Burton initially declined to say what Utah’s claim included or how state officials arrived at the $1.9 billion figure but said details would be released later. “It’s a function of looking at the damages, and the cost of cleanup and the long-term maintenance in the area,” he said. Asked why the state had not made the claim public earlier, he said, “I think our general policy has been to solve the problem and take care of it” rather than create a media stir. An EPA-led contractor crew was doing exploratory excavation
at the mine in preparation for a possible cleanup when workers accidentally breached a pile of debris that was holding back water inside the mine. About 3 million gallons of wastewater spewed from the mine, sending a mustard-color plume of pollution into waterways in Colorado, New Mexico and Utah. Indian lands also were affected. Farmers and utilities suspended water diversions, and rivers were temporarily closed to rafters during the busy tourist season. The EPA said water quality quickly returned to pre-spill levels. Compensation for damages has been a contentious issue. At least 144 government agencies, businesses and individuals filed claims for lost wages and income, crop
damage and other losses. The EPA accepted responsibility for the spill but said in January that federal law prevented it from paying any damage claims. That brought down vehement criticism from members of Congress and local officials. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who took over the agency after the election of President Donald Trump, promised to reconsider the decision. On Aug. 4, Pruitt said the EPA would review at least some of the claims. But the EPA said the law prevented it from reconsidering claims from anyone who had filed a lawsuit against the federal government. That ruled out a review of claims filed by New Mexico and the Navajo Nation, which have sued. Utah also filed suit, but it named
mine owners and EPA contractors as defendants, not the government. New Mexico Environment Secretary Butch Tongate said he was optimistic his state’s lawsuit would be successful. The EPA did not respond to emails asking how it would pay for any damage claims it accepted or any court judgments it was ordered to pay. The White House has proposed slashing EPA’s budget by 31 percent, to $5.7 billion. After the spill, the EPA designated the Gold King and 47 other mining sites in the area a Superfund district and is reviewing options for a broad cleanup.

Hildale’s Phaze Concrete Excels on Construction Site In 2003, a small concrete laying company was just starting out, pouring driveways and performing jobs on residential properties in Nevada and Utah. Since then, though, Phaze Concrete’s value has grown considerably. It is now worth more than $43 million; it employs 250 employees; it has offices in Hildale, Utah; Denver and Oklahoma City; and it has been making some forward-thinking moves which are unprecedented in the industry, both on and off the construction site, according to the company. In terms of working methods, it is regarded as one of best concrete laying companies in the nation when it comes to flatwork. “We have four laser screeds and a wide array of equipment,” Paul Beagley, the company’s chief operating officer recently said during an interview. In fact, due in part to successful implementation of efficiency-based construction techniques, as well as emphasis on maintaining a high morale among employees, Phaze is now managing to lay up to 1 million sq. ft. of flatwork every two months. The company not only allows, but actively encourages, its trained professionals to Phaze Concrete photo use their best judgment on the job, so that the time it takes to perform certain Phaze Concrete prepares to pour concrete at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Heber City, Utah. processes can be cut significantly by applying creative solutions. “Once we get specs or requirements for an owner, our job is to excel above their expectations without adding excessive cost,” said Beagley, adding that it makes more sense to do a job correctly the first time than having to spend money and resources retrospectively correcting errors later. It’s not just the techniques the company is using to improve customer satisfaction that’s allowed Phaze to enjoy such a positive reputation within the industry, though; it is also using profits to provide perks for staff that very few other construction businesses are able to offer. Among these is a GED Readiness program, which is open not just to apprentices, but also to family members of apprentices. “We don’t want our employees simply to come to work and earn a paycheck and go home; we want them to come and have a valuable experience, learning transferable skills that can improve every aspect of their life,” said a company representative during a recent discussion about the initiative. The positive results of the enterprise are immediately apparent. The compaPhaze Concrete photo ny frequently completes jobs under budget, and well before their allotted Pouring cement at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Heber City, Utah.
deadline. “Doing the right thing has been an important value for the Phaze team, often going the extra mile to make sure customers get what they expected and have an active involvement with solutions to the daily challenges and hurdles of today’s construction industry. Our crews work hard as a team to keep commitments and schedules while traveling across the nation to deliver the quality the industry has come to expect from us,” said a company representative. Such a successful track record is bound to bring with it more opportunities for growth, as was the case when Phaze was enlisted to help construct the Family Dollar Distribution Center, covering an area of well over 1 million sq. ft. The company’s approach to flatwork and tilt-up concrete during this project gained it further recognition, too, in form of the ACI Intermountain Chapter Award of Excellence. Additionally, due to the new president’s pledge to stimulate the growth of business and infrastructure, it’s very likely that the requirement for construction work is going to boom exponentially over the next four years, according to the company. Phaze is devoting itself to preemptively creating the resources which can be utilized when this happens. In fact, last year the company partnered with the Department of Labor’s Department of Apprenticeships to put together an innovative prospect for young workers seeking on-the-job training which will comprise everything from theoretical class-based learning modules to practical training and instruction from a seasoned industry expert. The scale of the program is equally impressive, with Phaze constituting just one of 37,000 different sponsors. Currently, there are 26 cement mason apprentices enrolled in the venture. Phaze’s mantra is that, where it can, it will support employees in gaining knowledge of work that will not only help them in their future careers, but also in their day-to-day lives. And with the positive tangible results it receives, it’s clear that the business will continue to grow in the coming years. For more information, visit phazeconcrete.com.

four projects. The work is solely focused on upgrading the traditional intersections to freeway-style interchanges. Crews will construct on- and off-ramps and overpasses at 5400 South, 7000 South, 9000 South. They will construct an underpass at 11400 South. Four bridges, one at each intersection, will be constructed. Crews will build a total of 16 ramps, four at each interchange. Construction on 7000 South began in April 2017 followed by 5400 South, 9000 South and 11400 South in July 2017. The Bangerter Highway interchange projects are on schedule: the 7000 South Interchange is expected to be complete in late fall of 2017 with finish work on Highway 7000 South concluding in early 2018. Work on the remaining three interchanges will wrap up in late fall of 2018. Contractors Project contractors Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction and W.W. Clyde teamed to construct the four interchanges under a design-build contract. Subcontractors include Hunt Electric Inc. of West Valley, Utah, for electric and advance traffic markings; Geneva Rock Products of Orem, Utah, for asphalt paving; Ralph Smith Trucking of Woods Cross, Utah, for trucking services; Brinkerhoff Excavating of Ogden, Utah, for excavating and Michael Baker International of Pittsburg,
Pa., for project design. The Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction and W.W. Clyde joint venture will have about 500 employees working on the projects daily during peak construction. Currently, crews are on the job days and nights. Night work takes place five-to-seven days a week. Closures Projects are phased so that traffic can flow during construction. Businesses in the area will remain open and accessible to residents. Utah Department of Transportation does not plan a full closure of Bangerter Highway or the 5400 South, 9000 South or 11400 South during construction. Lane reductions are possible during off-peak traffic periods. However, full closures are planned for 7000 South at Bangerter Highway. Utah Department of Transportation is working with West Jordan City, Jordan Land and Jordan School District to minimize impacts of the planned closure. A community coordination team has been assembled to provide monthly input and feedback to the contractor. Current work includes grading and excavation, utility relocation and new on- and off-ramp construction at all four interchanges.

5400 South in Salt Lake County in order to alleviate delays and provide a better level of service. Traffic modeling shows that, in 2040, the grade-separated interchange will have average delays of 63 seconds in the morning peak period and 45 seconds in the afternoon peak period. The grade-separated interchange will allow uninterrupted north-south traffic on Bangerter Highway in this area and will improve east-west traffic on 5400 South by eliminating the northsouth traffic movement through an at-grade intersection. In addition to reducing delay and congestion, the project will decrease idling traffic and auto emissions and improve the safety of the intersection. The project includes constructing an overpass (Bangerter Highway over 5400 South) and ramps from Bangerter Highway to 5400 South. As part of construction Phase 1 crews will construct northbound ramps. They will maintain all travel lanes and turn movements during peak hours. In Phase 2, they will construct southbound ramps. At that time, they will shift northbound traffic to new ramps. They will again maintain all travel lanes and turn movements during peak hours. In Phase 3, crews will construct an overpass and mainline Bangerter Highway. They will shift southbound traffic to new ramps.
In Phase 4, workers will construct 5400 South under Bangerter Highway. Current work at 5400 South includes noise wall panel and post removal, retaining wall and post installation and drainage work. Bangerter Highway at 7000 South Crews will construct a gradeseparated single point urban interchange at Bangerter Highway and 7000 South in Salt Lake County, in order to alleviate delays. Traffic modeling shows that, in 2040, the grade separated interchange will have average delays of 23 seconds in the morning peak period and 28 seconds in the afternoon peak period. The grade separated interchange will allow uninterrupted northsouth traffic on Bangerter Highway in this area and will improve east-west traffic on 7000 South by eliminating the northsouth traffic movement through an at-grade intersection. In addition to reducing delay and congestion, the project also will decrease idling traffic and auto emissions and improve the safety of the intersection. The project includes construction of an overpass (Bangerter Highway over 7000 South), ramps from Bangerter Highway to 7000 South, and the relocation of the pedestrian structure over Bangerter Highway. Work also includes installation of drainage systems, lighting, electrical and fiber optic cables and signage.
Under Phase 1, crews will construct north and southbound ramps and a new pedestrian bridge. They will maintain all travel lanes and turn movements during peak hours. In Phase 2, workers will construct an overpass and mainline Bangerter Highway. In Phase 3, they will construct 7000 South under Bangerter Highway. Current work at 7000 South includes construction of the mainline Bangerter highway, construction of the pedestrian bridge and utility work. Bangerter Highway at 9000 South Crews are constructing a gradeseparated single point urban interchange at Bangerter Highway and 9000 South in Salt Lake County, in order to alleviate congestion and delays. Traffic modeling shows that, in 2040, the grade separated interchange will have average delays of 49 seconds in the morning peak period and 41 seconds in the afternoon peak period. The 2040 modeling assumes all funded projects included in the Wasatch Front Regional Council 2040 Regional Transportation Plan will be completed by 2040, including the widening of 9000 South to seven lanes. The widening of 9000 South is not proposed as part of this project and will be completed as a future project. The grade separated interchange will allow uninterrupted northsee HIGHWAY page 10

In addition to reducing delay and congestion, the project also will decrease idling traffic and auto emissions and improve the safety of the intersection. The project includes construction of an overpass (Bangerter Highway over 9000 South) and ramps from Bangerter Highway to 9000 South. Work also includes installation of drainage systems, lighting, electrical and fiber optic cables and signage. In Phase 1 of the project, crews will construct southbound ramps. Construction of northbound ramps will follow in Phase 2. In Phase 3, workers will construct an overpass and mainline Bangerter Highway. Current work on the project includes removal of the noise wall and remaining posts on the west
side of Bangerter Highway. Crews also are busy with utility work and southbound ramp work. Bangerter Highway and 11400 South Crews will construct a grade separated single point urban interchange at Bangerter Highway and 11400 South in Salt Lake County, in order to alleviate delays at the location. Traffic modeling shows that in 2040, the grade separated interchange will have average delays of 23 seconds in the morning peak period and 36 seconds in the afternoon peak period. The 2040 modeling also assumes that 11400 South will be widened to a sevenlane highway by 2040. The widening of 11400 South is not proposed as part of this project and will need to be completed as a future project.

UDOT crews install wildlife fencing.
UDOT Adds Wildlife Fencing The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has begun constructing wildlife fencing along eastbound I-80 near Jeremy Ranch. Crews will begin by installing one mile of fencing to mirror the section constructed along westbound I-80 last fall. Then, work will continue to extend the fence by 1,400 ft. on each side of the interstate. UDOT has been working with residents and stakeholders to reduce vehicle/wildlife collisions in this area. The department has advanced a portion of funding from next
year’s I-80 truck lane and wildlife improvements project to begin wildlife fence installation early — eight months ahead of the larger portion of the project. The wildlife fence will eventually tie into the proposed wildlife bridge near Parleys Summit, which will be built in 2018 in coordination with the truck lane project.
