Greenberg Gibbons Commercial Corp. and Reliable Contracting are nearing completion of their 1.2 million-square-foot, $275 million addition to the Village at Waugh Chapel, which will comprise of several major retailers, including Wegmans.
“The project, we’ve always felt, was going to be very successful from the very beginning,” said Reliable Contracting President Jay Baldwin.
Village South is one of the largest planned developments to start in Greater Baltimore since before the Great Recession.
“It’s a very positive sign,” said commercial real estate broker Rene Daniel. “It’s one of the largest projects going on the East Coast, not just Baltimore.”
But there was a time when developers were struggling to attract tenants to fill up their retail space. Luckily, once Wegmans signed on, several other tenants jumped at the chance to be a part of Village South.
Wegmans spokeswoman Jo Natale explained that the company only opens one or two new stores a year and is very particular in choosing its location.
“There are really three or four primary things that we look for, and in this instance they all came together,” said Natale.
These factors include:
- Location
- The number of people living nearby
- The ability to be a regional draw for potential shoppers
Other future or recently opened Wegmans stores in Maryland include: Landover, Frederick, Bel Air, Columbia, and Germantown.
If you have any questions about the New Wegmans in Gambrills 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.

The most widely used structural material for transportation infrastructure and pavements in Portland cement concrete, or PCC. And in order to achieve a PCC mixture that is workable, durable, and of high quality, mineral and chemical admixtures must be applied.
All about Admixtures
- Chemical Admixtures: The most common chemical admixtures are air-entraining agents, water reducers, superplastics, retarders, and accelerators. All of these admixtures can affect PCC in several ways, including: managing its rate of early hydration and regulating its fluid properties.
- Mineral Admixtures: Common mineral admixtures include fly ash, silicia fume, and microsilicia. These admixtures are added to concrete to enhance its workability; to improve resistance of concrete to thermal cracking, alkali-aggregate expansion, and sulfate attack; and to enable a reduction in cement content or water.

Pervious concrete is designed to easily drain water. This is accomplished through a serious of void spaces, known as the porosity, which are interconnected and rapidly permeable to water movement. As you can imagine, this creates a unique set of challenges for the concrete producer.
Developing a pervious concrete mix that is easily placed, performs well, and is durable is not easy. It is a balancing act, requiring the concrete producer to develop mix designs for each of his aggregates. It also requires producers to identify the warning signs of pervious concrete problems, specifically problems related to the following:
- Water content
- Mixture proportions
- Admixture dosing
While some of these issues can be remedied by changing construction practices, most problems require changes from the concrete producer.
Producing Pervious Concrete
- Permeability: The primary considerations when determining proper mix design for pervious concrete are: strength for loading; freeze/thaw resistance; durability against winter maintenance (plowing and deicers); and porosity to produce the desired permeability.
- Workability: While pervious concrete requires proper void content, it still needs to be smooth and durable. This is achieved through proper mix proportions, primarily controlled by aggregate angularity and gradation; cementitious volume; sand or fiber content; water-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm); admixtures; and environmental factors (mixing time, water temperature, and mixer/truck moisture state).
- Mix Constituents: The largest volume of material in pervious concrete is aggregate. Because of this, aggregate selection has the largest influence on unit weight. The use of good quality, clean, well-graded crushed aggregate results in pervious concrete pavement with improved structural properties, reduced raveling, and improved permeability.
- Admixtures: There are numerous admixtures used in pervious concrete, including: air entraining; internal curing; hydration stabilizing; viscosity modifying; and water reducing.
If you have any questions about the Troubleshooting Pervious Concrete 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.

Road construction is all around us, from the back roads of Southern Maryland to the city streets of Baltimore, the highways, and every road in between. Consequently, construction projects and road work like this produces physical obstacles and other such hazards for drivers, increasing the risk of an accident.
Accident Liability and Construction Crews
If an accident occurs because of improper warnings, contradicting signs or signals, poorly lit construction zones, or other such negligence, the government jurisdiction responsible for the roadway construction could be held liable. This is because construction crews have a responsibility to properly warn drivers of impending traffic changes to help keep traffic flowing as smoothly as possible.
Still, while construction crews are required to utilize proper signage, reflective barricades, flashing lights, and other warnings to alert drivers, sometimes it is not enough to prevent accidents.
Potential Road Construction Hazards
• Merging: When lanes are closed, drivers may be required to merge into fewer lanes without much notice. This sometimes creates problems, especially during periods of heavy traffic.
• Little Room for Error: With construction sites, barricades, and walls, there is little room for driver error. And in such close quarters, one little mistake can cause a big problem.
• Debris: A byproduct of construction is debris. And while construction crews do what they can, from time to time, pieces of debris end up in the roadways.
Please be safe and stay alert when navigating construction sites!
If you have any questions about Road Construction Hazards 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.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania recently signed a $2 billion agreement allowing the city to use green infrastructure – including porous pavements, rain gardens, grassy swales, and more – to better manage stormwater flows. These green alternatives will supplement traditional pipes and concrete infrastructures.
This is all part of the city’s “Green City, Clean Waters” plan, which is designed to protect and enhance urban watersheds by managing stormwater with greener techniques.
How Green Infrastructures Work
These methods intercept rain water at the source, retaining it and allowing it to flow into the ground. This then allows the soil and plants to recycle the water back into the atmosphere, preventing it from becoming stormwater runoff.
The EPA’s Role in this 25 Year Partnership
- EPA will provide technical assistance to Philadelphia. This includes identifying and promoting higher-performing green infrastructure designs.
- The EPA will join forces with the city of Philadelphia in several demonstration projects, such as greening a school’s gardens and revitalizing a low-income neighborhood with green designs.
- The EPA will provide technical assistance and will help monitor the effectiveness and benefits of this program.
“Where other cities are challenged by very expensive commitments for tunnels, tanks, and other gray infrastructure, we have worked with the state and the EPA to take this greener, more fiscally prudent approach that will realize multiple benefits,” said Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter (D).
If you have any questions about the EPA’s Agreement with the City of Philadelphia 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.

When it comes to any sort of construction project, safety should be a top priority. The same goes for concrete contractors and the wide range of services these contractors offer, including site development, concrete finishing, and everything in between. The combination of heavy machinery, large building materials, traffic, etc. makes each and every job site dangerous. This is why it is important to have a construction safety plan in place.
Still, countless construction workers are injured or even killed every year because of job site accidents.
According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a sub-cabinet of the US Department of Labor, over 5,700 people were fatally injured in the workplace in 2008 alone. Of these 5,700, the construction industry accounted for nearly 1,000 lives, 17% of all workplace fatalities.
How does this concern you?
It is important to review the safety records of any commercial concrete company before considering that company for any project you may have. Hiring a concrete contractor that places safety first will avoid unnecessary delays, fines, and worker injuries.
Concrete contractors with solid safety records – like Reliable Contracting – will have no problem providing their safety records.

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

Every building project begins with one very important decision; choosing the right commercial construction contractor. Choose the wrong commercial contractor and your entire project suffers (not to mention your wallet). Choose the right contractor and the sky is the limit!
So when searching for the ideal commercial contracting candidate, there are several attributes to look for. These include:
Business-like Demeanor: In any professional setting, even in the construction industry, it is important to carry one’s self in a professional and business-like manner. This means showing up on time, adhering to the agreed upon construction schedule, remaining organized, and more.
Communication: A good working relationship is important. You need your contractor to understand your vision and your goals and to take your project as seriously as you do. Without good communication, you may begin to feel like you are no longer a part of your own project.
Experience, Skills, and Reputation: Construction, especially commercial construction can be a very complex task. Skills and especially experience are key attributes in the commercial construction industry. Furthermore, be sure that your potential contractor has experience in the type of construction work you need done.
Don’t be afraid to ask for referrals and recommendations. These are great indicators of both experience and skill level.
Business Practices: Ask to see a certificate of insurance to ensure your potential contractor has the necessary coverage (including liability insurance and workers’ compensation). Also call the state licensing board to check on your contractor’s license. Was it ever suspended? If so, why? Are their any claims against this contractor? If so, what?
If you have any questions 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.
