Meeting the growing need around the world to replace and expand sewer and clean-water infrastructure is tough, especially when you take into account the new United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Emissions Regulations, also known as Tier 4. The EPA Tier 4 standards are designed to reduce emissions by as much as 90 percent or more, according to the EPA.
Thankfully, there is a solution: the AXIS guided boring system by Vermeer.
This trenchless system eliminates many of the steps associated with traditional opencut installation techniques, speeding up installation and requiring fewer operators.
“This new system came to market because methods used in the past were rudimentary and slow,” says Ryan Erger, product specialist for the AXIS system. “We integrated several technologies into one system that allows contractors to install underground pipeline with extreme accuracy at a fast rate, all the while helping to reduce the environmental footprint.”
Benefits of the Axis System
- The system integrates a closed-circuit camera into the drill head, allowing the operator to constantly monitor the drilling process.
- The excavated material is removed by a high-powered liquid-ring vacuum driven by a John Deere PowerTech PVX 6068H Interim Tier 4/Stage III B engine. These engines feature cooled exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) for NOx control and an exhaust filter for reducing particulate matter.
- Excavated materials are collected in a vacuum tank, eliminating the hassle of manually handling the spoils in the launch pit.
“The cooled EGR and exhaust filter technology approach provides a simple and proven solution requested by our customers,” says Doug Laudick, manager of product planning at John Deere Power Systems. “We believe cooled EGR provides our customers with the best value for Interim Tier 4/Stage III B.”
If you have any questions about Tier 4 Compliant Systems or if you have a construction project that you need completed right the first time, please contact Reliable Contracting by calling 410-987-0313 or visit our website.

One of the most critical bits of data needed before any urban or suburban construction project can begin is the whereabouts of underground utilities. Contractors must be aware of water trunk lines, sanitary tap-ins, power lines, and gas line for several reasons.
- Contractors need to know where these utilities are in order to tap into them.
- Contractors need to know where these utilities are in order to avoid them during excavation and other intrusive construction activities.
If these utilizes are not located before a construction project begins, the results can be extremely damaging and costly.
For precisely measuring underground utilities, several different tools are needed, including:
Metal Detectors: These devices can locate utilities and compute depths by using magnetic field measurements.
Gradiometers: These devices measure magnetic field gradients (changes) instead of total field strength.
Optimal Ranging’s Spar Utility Locator (FieldSens): This new technology computes the effects of ground conductivity and field distortions in real time, combining this information with GPS map utilities in 3D.
Acoustic Technologies: A sensitive acoustic reader is used to read background sounds, such as water flowing. This is perfect for locating leaks or other damage in water lines or other lines with a flow.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR): This method utilizes radar pulses to image the subsurface, producing a geological cross-section of the soil based on the electrical properties of the ground. GPR uses electromagnetic radiation in the microwave band of the radio spectrum, and detects reflected signals from subsurface features.
As you can see, there are several options available to contractors to help find the locations of subsurface utilities.
If you have any questions about Subsurface Utility Mapping or if you have a construction project that you need completed right the first time, please contact Reliable Contracting by calling 410-987-0313 or visit our website.

Simply put, storm water runoff, which occurs naturally, is rain or snowmelt that flows over land and does not percolate into the soil. Manmade surfaces, such as roads, sidewalks, and parking lots, can greatly alter the natural hydrology of the land by increasing the volume, velocity, and temperature of runoff and by decreasing its infiltration capacity.
- In nature, storm water is absorbed by the soil, which acts as a natural filter, removing harmful toxins. Then, the now harmless storm water seeps into streams, ponds, lakes, and underground aquifers.
- In urban areas, storm water falls directly on cement and asphalt pavements and has nowhere to filter out harmful contaminants. As a result, those contaminants are washed into waterways without undergoing natural filtration.
This is a very serious problem that can result in severe stream bank erosion, flooding, and the degradation of the biological habitat of these streams.
Other Ways Storm Water Runoff Impacts Us
- Reducing infiltration can lower ground water levels
- Reducing infiltration can affect drinking water supplies
- As storm water runoff moves across surfaces, it picks up trash, debris, and pollutants such as sediment, oil and grease, pesticides and other toxins.
- Changes in ambient water temperature, sediment, and pollutants from storm water runoff can be detrimental to aquatic life, wildlife, habitat, and human health.
Storm Water Runoff and the Construction Industry
The soil exposed by construction is especially vulnerable to excessive erosion. In fact, runoff from an unstabilized construction site can result in the loss of approximately 35–45 tons of sediment per acre each year (ASCE and WFF, 1992). This excess sediment clouds the water and reduces the amount of sunlight that is able to reach underwater plants, clog fish gills, smother aquatic habitats, etc.
If you have any questions about the Storm Water Runoff or if you have a construction project that you need completed right the first time, please contact Reliable Contracting by calling 410-987-0313 or visit our website. And be sure to check back here next week to learn how construction workers can stop storm water pollution.

A new study, commissioned by the Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) and conducted by researchers at the College of William and Mary’s Thomas Jefferson Program in Public Policy, provides concrete evidence as to the positive impact infrastructure investment has on the economy and government tax receipts.
AED Study Findings
• One dollar spent on infrastructure construction produces roughly double ($1.92) the initial spending in direct and indirect economic output.
• A dollar in aggregate public infrastructure spending will generate $3.21 in economic output (GDP) over a 20-year period.
• Each dollar spent on infrastructure generates roughly 35 cents in indirect economic activity for manufacturers, 20 cents for professional and business services providers, and 10 cents for the finance, insurance, real estate, rental and leasing sector.
• Over 20 years, one dollar in aggregate infrastructure spending generates 96 cents in taxes.
o Each dollar invested in highways and streets returns approximately 35 cents in tax revenue, of which 23 cents accrues at the federal level.
o Investing $1 in sewer systems and water infrastructure generates $2.03 in tax receipts ($1.35 for the federal government).
“The bottom line is that there’s a big difference between investment and wasteful spending,” said Associated Equipment Distributors President and CEO Toby Mack. “When the federal government pays to build a road or sewer, it’s like a business buying a bulldozer or computer. It’s a productive asset that will spur economic activity and generate revenues for years to come.”
The full report is available at The Economic Impact and Financing of Infrastructure Spending.

While many may have loved the unseasonably warm winter we have had thus far in 2012, perhaps none loved it more than those in the construction industry. 21,000 new jobs were added in January alone, raising employment to a new two-year high, according to analysis of new federal employment data released by the Associated General Contractors of America.
Still, some are erring on the side of caution.
“Although it’s great news that the industry has added 52,000 jobs in the past two months, the unemployment rate in construction is still double that of the overall economy, and construction employment remains at 1996 levels,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “It will take another month or two to see if the recent job growth reflects a sustained pickup or merely acceleration of homebuilding and highway projects that normally halt when the ground freezes in December and January.”
While construction employment is 11 percent above last January (2011), it is still 28 percent below its peak level of 7,726,000 in April 2006.
Important Construction Employment Statistics
• The industry’s unemployment rate in January was 17.7 percent (not seasonally adjusted), down from 22.5 percent in 2011.
• The unemployment rate was still double the all-industry rate of 8.8 percent.
• Heavy and civil engineering construction employment grew by 2.6 percent or 21,000 jobs from January 2011 to last month.
•Nonresidential building and specialty trade contractors increased employment by 2.0 percent (17,000 jobs).
•Employment among residential building and specialty trade contractors rose by 2.1 percent (41,000 jobs).

Last week, we gave you a quick overview of the History of Asphalt. This week, we are going to take a look at the many different types of asphalt pavement currently available. You may be surprised at how versatile this paving material really is. The different varieties of asphalt pavement include:
Perpetual Pavement: Take the smoothness and safety advantages of traditional asphalt and throw in an advanced, multi-layer paving design process. When you couple that with routine asphalt maintenance, you get a pavement material designed to last! The advantages of perpetual pavement include:
• Perpetual Pavements can be maintained easily
• Surface restoration is extremely cost effective
• Reconstruction can be performed without removing the old road structure
Porous Asphalt: This type of asphalt is the perfect way to manage storm water and eliminate standing water, which can wreak havoc on your asphalt surface. Used primarily for parking lots, porous asphalt allows water to drain through the pavement into a stone recharge bed and then into the soil below. The advantages of porous asphalt include:
•Porous asphalt can provide cost-effective, attractive pavements
• Experiences few, if any, cracking or potholes
• A life span of more than twenty years
• Provide storm-water management systems that promote infiltration, improve water quality, and many times eliminate the need for a detention basin
Quiet Pavement: Today’s busy world is noisy enough. Quiet pavement is designed to eliminate at least some of that noise. The advantages of quiet pavement include:
• Noise experienced both inside and outside homes and businesses can be significantly reduced
• Research shows that resurfacing a noisy road with stone-matrix asphalt (SMA) or open-graded friction course (OGFC) mix will reduce highway noise by 3 to 5 dB(A) or more
Warm-Mix Asphalt: This is the generic name of the technology that allows manufacturers of hot-mix asphalt to lower the temperatures at which the material is mixed and placed on the road. The advantages of warm-mix asphalt include:
• Reductions of 50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit have been documented
• Improved safety for asphalt workers
• Decreased production of greenhouse gases
• Decreased fuel consumption
• Better compaction of pavements
• Extended paving seasons
• Potential to be able to recycle at higher rates
Hopefully, now you know more about asphalt than you did before!

Often time in life, we take the inventions and innovations around us for granted. For instance, when is the last time you really sat there and thought about how a light bulb works, or where you would be if it were never invented? What about your computer? Most of us cannot function nowadays without our computer, laptop, or smartphone. And then there are those innovations that make our lives easier that we rarely ever notice, like asphalt; it’s everywhere from shingles and sidewalks to driveways, roads, and more. In fact, over 750 million tons of asphalt is poured and rolled every year in the USA, alone.
But where did asphalt come from?
Asphalt Facts
• Asphalt occurs naturally in asphalt lakes and rock asphalt.
• Asphalts first recorded use was in Babylon in 625 B.C. in the formation of roads.
• The ancient Greeks and Romans used asphalt to seal their baths, reservoirs, and aqueducts. In fact, the word asphalt comes from the Greek word “asphaltos”, meaning “secure.” The Romans later changed the word to “asphaltus.”
• Sir Walter Raleigh wrote about using natural asphalt to re-caulk his ships in 1595.
• Then, in the mid 1800’s, John Loudon McAdam used hot tar to bond broken stones together.
• In the late 1860s, “asphalt” came to America!
• The first bituminous mixtures were used for sidewalks, crosswalks, and roads.
• Then in 1870, Edmund J. DeSmedt laid the first true asphalt pavement in America, a sand mix in front of the City Hall in Newark, New Jersey.
Since then time, asphalt has really taken off.

The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) first introduced warm-mix asphalt (WMA) to the United States in 2002 after WMA grew in popularity in Europe. This new technology instantly spurred interest for government agencies, researchers, contractors, and especially hot-mix asphalt producers.
Warm-mix asphalt allows producers of asphalt pavement material to lower the temperatures – by as much as 100 degrees Fahrenheit – at which the material is mixed and placed on the road.
Benefits of Warm-Mix Asphalt
•Lowers fuel consumption
•Drastically decreases the production of greenhouse gases
• Reduces the production of emissions
• Improves working conditions for asphalt pavers

Asphalt is one of the most commonly used paving materials around. Its waterproofing and binding properties make it an ideal material for road and parking lot construction. But what many people do not know is that asphalt is also recyclable.
When old asphalt roads are replaced, the old asphalt can be reused. This is not only better for the environment (it requires less new material), but it is better for your wallet, as well! Other benefits of using recycled asphalt include:
Environmentally Friendly: As we already mentioned, recycled asphalt is much better for the environment than using new asphalt. Recycling asphalt reduces the need for new asphalt and thus new oil. Asphalt is derived from the remnants of oil and mixed with sand and stone in order to created a strong material for paving.
Economic Benefits: Since asphalt is made using petroleum, its price fluctuates with the price of oil. Using recycled asphalt will save you money!
Engineering Benefits: Recycled asphalt can be added into both “hot mix” and “cold mix” asphalt. The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association has even come out to say that pavement mixes using recycled asphalt sometimes have superior performances than those made with virgin materials.
Some More Fun Facts: Did you know that up to 25 percent of the asphalt in some states is made up of recycled asphalt? Pretty interesting, huh? The Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association reports that 90 million tons of asphalt is recycled annually, saving taxpayers over $300 million each year.
If you have any questions or remarks or if you wish to discuss this matter further, please comment. We at Reliable Contracting want to know what you think. You can also contact Reliable Contracting by calling 410-987-0313 or visit our website.
