Cleveland Harbor East Breakwater Repair (Dolosse)

Contract Amount: $14,483,510.92

Owner: The United States Army Corps of Engineers

Description: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracted Great Lakes Dock & Materials, located in Muskegon, Michigan, for the Cleveland Harbor East Breakwater Repair Project in Cleveland, Ohio. For this project, Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. was contracted as a material supplier for Great Lakes providing the manufacturing of their dolosse. These dolosse were manufactured in Allega's yard and delivered to the dock for the structural repair of the breakwall.

A dolos is an interlocking concrete erosion control structure placed along the bottom of the lake and the side of the breakwall in order to prevent erosion of the wall. Allega commenced pouring dolosse on March 30, 2015 and concluded in October of 2016.

Allega poured 52 dolosse each day, which were formed in custom made molds, using its on-site batch plant and concrete mixer trucks. A Grove RT Crane was used, along with an attached side load concrete bucket, to pour the concrete into each mold with care. Allega let the concrete set overnight before moving the dolosse with two Komatsu PC-490 excavators to store in our yard before transporting them to the dock. After the dolosse were delivered to the dock, Allega then utilized a Komatsu PC-1100 to load them onto the barge for Great Lakes Dock & Materials where they were then transported to the appropriate location to be placed in the water on the breakwall.

What was unique about this project is that dolosse have not been manufactured in Cleveland or the Northeast United States since the 1970s. The reason behind this repair was to stop the erosion of the breakwall and keep Cleveland’s harbor safe for the public from storms and rough water.

DeJohn Funeral Home

Contract Amount: $2,165,000

Owner: Magic, LLC

Boeing Flight Line Expansion

Contract Amount: $8,070,605

Owner: The Boeing Company

Description: In December of 2015, Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. entered into a contract with Turner Construction Company as a subcontractor on the Boeing Flight Line Expansion Project. This project was located in Charleston, South Carolina at the Boeing South Carolina Campus, which is home to the second 787 Dreamliner assembly facility.

The Boeing Flight Line Expansion Project commenced work in September 2015. Allega’s portion of the work, at a cost of $8,070,605, included the placement of 8” lean concrete base, and Portland cement concrete pavements at 8”, 15”, and 20” thicknesses for three additional flight line stalls, a towpath, and an apron pad. These led to the currently constructed Boeing paint facility. Allega also installed 2,196 linear feet of aircraft rated, custom trench drains.

In an effort to improve the cost and time efficiency for this project, Allega made several decisions to aid in the success of this project. Allega submitted a change to the original design and replaced P-304 cement treated base (CTB) for the use of lean concrete. By utilizing the lean concrete, Allega eliminated the two lift process and trim time required for CTB. Allega mobilized one of their concrete plants, which was reconstructed off-site in Charleston, where it provided the concrete material for the entire project for our scope of work.

One of the unique features in the construction of the Boeing Project was the use of the GZ S850 slip form paver. This paver uses string-less technology that is controlled by the Leica Geosystem when installing both the lean concrete and the concrete pavement. As a string-less paver, the S850 significantly reduces the amount of time in paving, as well as reduces the human error factor with the use of the Leica guiding system. This technology, paired with the mix design for this project, improved the smoothness and rideability in the final outcome of the Boeing Project. Allega crews worked six days a week with a combination night and day schedule in order to facilitate a timely production in cooperation with the weather to strive for a successful and scheduled project completion.

ODOT Project 15-8031

Contract Amount: $3,962,022

Owner: The City of Broadview Heights

Description: Allega was awarded this project in September of 2015 at a bid cost of $3,962,022 by the Ohio Department of Transportation. The project was located in the city of Broadview Heights in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. This project involved the widening of the eastbound lanes of State Route 82, as well as lengthening of the turning lanes, and a realignment of the southbound Interstate 77 exit lanes. Approximately 4,450 feet of State Route 82 from Ken Mar Industrial Parkway to Old Royalton Road/South Hills Boulevard was planed and resurfaced. New traffic signals were installed on a closed loop system at Ken Mar Industrial Parkway, Treeworth Boulevard and the Interstate 77 northbound and southbound exit ramps. This was designed to accommodate the increasing traffic volumes of the area. 

The project commenced in November with clearing and grubbing in preparation for the 2016 spring construction season while the drainage work took place prior to the spring construction. The eastbound lanes were widened and the turning lane for the Interstate 77 northbound entrance ramp was lengthened. Both Interstate 77 southbound exit ramps were realigned and utilized 12” Portland cement concrete. The southbound ramps were scheduled for completion by July 1, 2016 in anticipation of the 2016 Republican Convention. Integrated throughout the project were bio-retention areas. These were designed to be environmentally beneficial to the area using bio-swale soil and improving the water quality for Broadview Heights. The bio-retention areas were landscaped using deciduous shrubs, evergreen shrubs, perennials, grasses, annual bulbs, decorative gravel bands, aesthetic boulders, and designer fencing to enhance the overall look of the completed project.

Allega’s scope of work on this project included the drainage, earthwork, erosion control, traffic management, piping and pavement removal, subgrade and aggregate subbases, under drains, concrete paving, milling, asphalt paving, and full depth pavement repair and replacement.

The airport’s schedule for this project had very strict and demanding timetable that consisted of six major developing phases of work.  This included nightly closures for Runways 03-21 and 15-33, which allowed the construction to take place without interfering with the airport’s daily operations.  This project was completed in June of 2017.

ODOT Project 13-8033

Contract Amount: $46,648,926

Owner: The Ohio Department of Transportation

Description: This project was awarded at a bid cost of $46,648,926.00 in August of 2013 and was located in the Village of Richfield and the Townships of Richfield and Boston in Summit County, Ohio. The project spanned 5.31 miles on Interstate Route 271.

The scope of work involved the full depth pavement removal and replacement with asphalt concrete on both the northbound and southbound lanes. In addition, all ramps located within the project limits of 271 were reconstructed. The 271 side roads, which included State Route 303, County Road 17, State Route 176, and parts of Interstate Route 77, also underwent reconstruction. Bridge rehabilitation and reconstruction were performed at State Route 303, County Road 17, State Route 176, and all Interstate Route 77 structures.

There were nine phases of construction as well as substantial pre-phase work, which consisted of temporary concrete pavement. Other project improvements included extensive drainage work, including an 84” storm sewer, all new signage and guardrails, high mast lighting, and permanent striping.

As the project evolved, Allega had value-engineered more efficient maintenance of traffic patterns to aid construction by utilizing contra flow traffic patterns. This placed three lanes of traffic on one side of the road and one lane on the opposite side while half of each side were built simultaneously. These configurations allowed work to be performed with minimal disruption to the traveling public.

Repair Runway 01-19

Contract Amount: $ 28,873,805

Owner: Versar Inc.

Description: Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. was subcontracted by Versar Inc. in the amount of $28,873,805 to perform all concrete paving activities associated with the replacement of Runway 01-19 and portions of Runway 14-32 at Dover Air Force Base.

Allega paved this project dual lanes at 37’ wide, with an average of 4,000 cubic yards of concrete per day. In order to maximize efficiency and production on the Dover Air Force Base project, Allega had mobilized two on-site concrete batch plants. Working in conjunction with each other, they placed over 165,000 cubic yards of concrete in order to manage the large daily production needs.

Allega’s scope of work on this project entailed over 246,000 square yards of 15” and 20” concrete finished pavement and over 257,000 square yards of 5” drainage layer concrete. The project commenced in February 2015 and was completed in December 2016.

Myrtle Beach International Airport Rehabilitation of Runway 18-36

Contract Amount: $17,934,771

Owner: Horry County Department of Airports

Description: Myrtle Beach Airport is owned and operated by the Horry County Department of Airports and is a single runway airport. This project consisted of a full rehabilitation of Runway 18-36 and twelve taxiways connected to the runway. The work generally consisted of Bituminous concrete pavements, variable depth performance planing of Runway 18-36 and taxiway connectors within the Runway Safety Area (RSA), Portland cement concrete spall repair, crack and joint sealing, on-site plant for bituminous material production, bituminous paving (three lifts) of runway and taxiway connectors, pavement grooving, temporary and permanent runway and taxiway markings, shoulder/RSA grading, topsoiling and sodding, runway and taxiway edge and centerline light removal and replacement. Work had to be accomplished through specified nighttime airfield closures seven days a week.

The unique and challenging aspect of this project was that the Myrtle Beach Airport has only one runway, and Runway 18-36 had to be open every day for aircraft operations. Being the only runway for Myrtle Beach, each night the runway would be shut down to air traffic at the specified nighttime closure (designed by the airport), which varied on a nightly basis. This would allow a maximum work shift of eight hours and some nights a maximum work shift of only five hours. A portion of the runway would be removed and temporarily supported with painting and ramping sufficient for aircraft traffic so the airport could reopen in the morning for operational use. This type of operation went on from September 2014 through April 2015.

Each day, no matter what operation was occurring, whether Allega poured concrete, milled asphalt, or paved asphalt, the work had to be done, cured, and temporarily supported so the airport could reopen in the morning. This was also true for our subcontractors, especially our electrical subcontractor (Atlantic Electric) who would replace light cans, duct banks, and electrical circuits every night ahead of Allega’s work.

This project had a very strict timetable with large penalties if the morning opening was late. The reason for the aggressive work schedule, which took place mostly in the winter, was due to the number of vacationing travelers the Myrtle Beach Airport receives from May through September. The project was a seven day work week project, and the only time the job was shut down was for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays.

Even with the demanding schedule and limited night hours to work, Allega completed this project with a perfect rideability and 100 percent compaction of the asphalt lifts. There was no corrective grinding on the finished asphalt surface. The project was accepted by the Myrtle Beach Airport in May of 2015 and reopened to a full 24 hour seven day a week operation.

Description: ODOT Project 597-08 was one of ODOT District 12's largest contracts. It was a Joint Venture between Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. and The Great Lakes Construction Company. With approximately 4.5 miles of reconstruction and the widening of State Route 2 in Lake County, Ohio, this project entailed over 384,000 square yards of new 11 1/2" concrete pavement. New entrance and exit ramps were constructed at SR 306, Lost Nation Road, Vine Street, and SR 91. In addition, this project consisted of the rehabilitation of seven bridge structures, four retaining walls and over 131,000 square feet of noise wall, new storm sewers, 132" pipe liner installation under SR 2, and new lighting and signalization installed throughout the project limits. The contract required a Contractor's Designed Maintenance of Traffic Plan in which Allega and Great Lakes' project staff was able to implement a bi-directional traffic pattern. This ultimately reduced traffic congestion and ceated a safer work environment for our employees and the traveling public.

This three-year project consisted of three stages of construction, which commenced in April 2009 and had a scheduled completion of Fall 2011. Stage 1 construction, which was completed in 2009, provided new concrete paving from Lost Nation Road to approximately 1,500 lineal feet east of the Newell Creek Bridge along with a new third lane of pavement to ease traffic congestion. Stage 1 also saw new bridge construction at Lost Nation Road and Newell Creek. New interchange ramps on SR 306 were completed along with minor pavement widenings to SR 306 to accept the new ramp configurations. Portions of Lost Nation Road were constructed with new 9-inch reinforced concrete pavement from Riverside Commons to Reeves Road along with new entrance and exit ramps to SR 2. 

Stage 3 work began in Spring of 2010 and reopened to traffic in December 2010. This portion of the project included the reconstruction of SR 2 from just east of SR 91 to Stevens Boulevard. This phase consisted of new mainline concrete paving on SR 2 along with new entrance and exit ramps to Vine Street and two new ramps on SR 91. Vine Street also received concrete widenings to accept the new ramp configurations. The remaining portions of E-361st Street bridge were completed along with a new bridge structure on SR 2 over Vine Street.

The last segment of this project, Stage 2, commenced in the Spring of 2011 after significant weather impacts. This portion tied together Stage 1, which was completed in 2009, and the Stage 3 section that was completed in 2010. Phase 2 entailed three new lanes of 11-1/2” thick concrete pavement in the Eastbound and Westbound lanes of SR-2 between Stevens Boulevard and Lost Nation Road. The remaining portions of the Lost Nation ramps were reconstructed with new 11-1/2” concrete pavement and concrete median walls and high mast lighting were installed. In addition, reconstruction took place on the bridges over the Chagrin River and Erie Road. After record rain fall events suffered in April and May of 2011, the project was completed in December 2011 at a final contract amount of $92,114,195.00.

Cuyahoga County Project CR-186

Contract Amount: $

Owner: Cuyahoga County

Description: This project was approximately 2.1 miles long with the complete reconstruction of Eastland Road, including replacement of the existing structure over Abrams Creek and the existing CSXT railroad structure over the Eastland Road/Sheldon Road intersection. The work also involved installation of new water main and storm sewers. The project required the realignment of Sheldon Road, east and west of Eastland Road, as well as the lowering of this newly created intersection to accommodate the CSXT Railroad Bridge Crossing overhead at the intersection of Eastland and Sheldon Roads. The project was completed on schedule in Fall 2011.

Section 2, Eastland Road from north of Sheldon to SR 237, and Section 3, Eastland Road from E. Bagley Road to First Avenue, were completed and reopened in the Spring of 2011. 

The new CSXT Railroad Bridge has been erected and the train traffic has been switched over from the temporary structure, which has been dismantled. The First Avenue and Eastland Road Intersection has been completed and opened to traffic. The water main and sewer work has been completed on Sheldon Road along with the pavement. In early November of 2011, the final stage of this project, the Sheldon Road and Eastland Road Intersection, was reopened to the traveling public.

UPS Repaving Project

Contract Amount: $912,000

Owner: UPS

Description: Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. provided reinforced concrete pavement for the UPS facility located in Akron, Ohio. The work on this project included the removal of two (2) separate areas totaling approximately 11,000 square feet of asphalt pavement and replacing it with 8"of non-reinforced concrete pavement. Due to the number of UPS semis and package trucks utilizing the facility, our work hours were restricted to 11:00 P.M. on Friday through 11:59 P.M. on Sunday. We were required to move into the areas, remove 8" of asphalt pavement, replace both areas with 8" of non-reinforced pavement, and allow UPS access to both areas by 11:59 P.M. on Sunday. We moved into the area on Saturday morning, removed the existing asphalt, placed 8" of non-reinforced concrete, saw cut and sealed the joints and restriped the area, completing the project on Sunday afternoon, with no interruption to the UPS operations.

ODOT Project 10-500

Contract Amount: $1,700,000

Owner: The Ohio Department of Transportation

Description: In June of 2011, Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. completed work on ODOT Project 500-10 located in Cuyahoga County, Ohio on Interstate Route 90 in the City of Cleveland. The $1.7 million project was completed on-time and under budget. Work was completed in four phases and included the repair and replacement of the median wall in both the eastbound and westbound directions.

A highlight of the project was the minimal impact to traffic on Interstate 90 and the motoring public. Short term temporary closures were utilized and crews worked late/early hours to avoid any disruption in daily traffic flow. Another highlight was a new concrete barrier wall slip-form machine that Allega has devised and was utilized for this project. The machine was able to maneuver around light poles and median inlets while staying on the shoulder for construction.

The project’s success can be attributed to the partnership between Allega and The Ohio Department of Transportation, and the tireless efforts of the field crews performing the work.

ODOT Project 07-0079

Contract Amount: $17,451,598

Owner: The Ohio Department of Transportation

Description: In the fall of 2009, Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. completed the remaining portion of the three year Mayfield Road project. The $17,451,598 project finished approximately $1.2 million under budget. The project also finished on schedule and allowed for a four month winter reprieve in 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. In addition, there were no lost work days due to injury (zero recordables).

Furthermore, ODOT’s goal of 9% DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) participation was satisfied. Approximately $1,506,300 or 9.2% of the work was completed by a certified DBE contractor more than the contract goals. The DBE work included the construction of the sanitary sewer line, water service connections, and milling/asphalt work.

The project’s success can be attributed to the partnership between the contractor (Allega), the owner (ODOT) and the city (Mayfield Heights). Many innovated ideas were put into place in order for the project to finish under budget and on schedule with a winter reprieve (which was never part of the contract schedule). These innovative ideas included split-phasing the temporary signals and changing the construction sequence of the sanitary sewer and concrete paving sequence.

The project’s key highlight was the placement of 92,800 SY of 10” non-reinforced pavement. The pavement constructed had no deficiency in core thickness and surface smoothness (1/8” in 10’). The completion of the project has increased the LOS (Level of Service) by decreasing traffic congestion at and near the I-271 Interchange and the RT 91 intersection at Mayfield Road. This was accomplished by the addition of an extra lane, in each direction, from Hillcrest Hospital (east of RT 91) to Golden Gate Blvd. (west of I-271). In addition, an extra lane was added on the I-271 off ramps, as well as signalization.

ODOT Project 07-0078

Contract Amount: $

Owner: The Ohio Department of Transportation

Description: This project, which was a Joint Venture of Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. and E.S. Wagner Company, was a portion of the "U.S. Route 24 Fort to Port" (Fort Wayne, Indiana to Port Toledo, Ohio) Realignment and Expansion. This is an approximate 10.4-mile long 4-lane divided highway with a new construction of seven bridges, roadway, storm drainage, 12" watermain, and noise barriers.

The paving included 21 miles of two-lane pavement in which Allega crews slipformed two lanes along with a four-foot wide shoulder in one pass. A ten-foot wide shoulder was added on later. The project included a typical diamond interchange on one end of the project to intersect US 24 with US 127 near Paulding, Ohio connecting US 24 with SR 424.

The project was originally designed with three Maintenance of Traffic phases. Allega and E.S. Wagner staffs were able to stage the work to combine Phases 2 and 3 to streamline the work and minimize the disruption to traffic flow at the busy interchange area on the Defiance end of the project.

Allega paving crews poured the last cubic yard of concrete on Wednesday, July 22, 2009 to tie in the mainline pavement with the westbound bridge over CSX railroad. When the paving work was complete, Allega crews had poured 192,000 cubic yards of concrete in 105 days of production over the course of two construction seasons.

ODOT Project 06-0002

Contract Amount: $

Owner: The Ohio Department of Transportation

Description: As one of the largest and most challenging projects in ODOT’s history, the I-80 Widening Project at Meander Reservoir transformed I-80 from a four lane to a six lane highway and replaced the twin bridges over the Meander Reservoir. In addition, this project contains a first-of-its-kind spill containment system that protects the drinking water for 220,000 people in the surrounding area.

This project, which was a Joint Venture between Anthony Allega Cement Contractor, Inc. and Great Lakes Construction Company, was approximately 4.6 miles long with the complete reconstruction of all bridges, roadway, storm drainage, and redesign of two bridges, one eastbound and one westbound over the Meander Reservoir.

Phase 1 of the project shifted traffic in a bi-directional pattern on the existing westbound lanes as the eastbound lanes and bridges were constructed. Phase two shifted the traffic into a bi-directional pattern on the newly completed eastbound side as the westbound lanes and bridges were constructed.

The final piece of the project’s 255,132 square yards of 13” concrete pavement was completed and opened to traffic in September of 2009. We extend our gratitude to ODOT, our Joint Venture Partner, Great Lakes Construction, our subcontractors and suppliers for their assistance and continual cooperation, which allowed us to successfully complete this award winning project ahead of schedule.
