acquires H. E. Sargent
For the past 13 years, Sargent & Sargent
and H. E. Sargent, Inc., have been fierce
competitors in the civil construction business in Maine. Now, we’re all part of the
same company.
On July 21, Sargent & Sargent purchased
H. E. Sargent from Fru-Con Construction
Corp. of St. Louis, MO.
Herb R. Sargent, president of Sargent &
Sargent, is currently also serving as president of H. E. Sargent. Sargent & Sargent is
the parent company, though much of the
administration will come from the the H. E.
Sargent office complex in Stillwater, which
was acquired in the deal.
George Thomas, chief financial officer
for Sargent & Sargent, is serving as chief
financial officer for H. E. Sargent, as well.
Tim Folster, operations manager for
Sargent & Sargent, has continued in that
role and has also assumed responsibility as

A message from Herb Sargent
A new beginning for two great companies
This is the first volume of a newsletter that will, from now
on, be directed to employees of both H.E. Sargent, Inc. and
Sargent & Sargent. Our July 22nd closing on the acquisition
of H.E. Sargent has been met with a steady stream of statewide congratulations that have only been exceeded by the
can-do attitude that both crews possess.
For 13 years our two companies have slugged it out in
fierce competition for some of the most challenging projects
in Maine. Victories ebbed and flowed from one to the
other—what one company won, the other lost. The accomplishments of both have been worthy of folklore, but, more
often than not, they came at the cost of the other.
This is the way it was; this truth was burned into our
consciousness—a gain on one side came at the cost of the
other. This is no longer the case.
On July 22, 2005, the hatchet was buried.
* * *
In some ways, it seems like somewhat of a watershed development—and it is.
In other ways, it just seems like this is the way it ought to
be—and I can’t help but believe that it is all of that, and
more.
I can recite the benefits for employees of both companies
at length; but here I will mention only one—security:
On the S&S side, this security means that we share the
load with a company whose achievements are legendary in
the state of Maine. This new workmate also happens to have
been our ablest competitor.
On the HES side, this security means that you now have an
owner whose interest lies in your ability to compete on a
long-term basis. We will have a long-term approach to it:
• The equipment you operate will be purchased, leased
and maintained based on its ability to serve our needs on a
long-term basis as well as short.
• The maintenance and replacement of this equipment
will complement your considerable talents and maximize the
earning power of this company. We will not rely on other
countries, companies, or divisions—we will sink or swim on
our own.
• We are now an earthwork company. We will provide
service to our customers unmatched in our arena. We might
be under-sold, but we won’t be under-valued.
* * *
Since many HES folks don’t know me personally, I will
attempt to give you a read on my history by dropping some of
the greatest names in Maine’s construction history.
Here I will invoke some names that most HES folks are
familiar with: Ralph Dutton, Bob Peters, Dick Martin, Joe
Thurlow, Otis Barry, David Lakeman, Linwood Lancaster,
Mike Greaves, Tom Dempsey, Roy Mace, Gene Wasson,
Walter Parady, Ralph Leonard, Herb E. Sargent and Jim
Sargent. These names can never be forgotten as the very
fabric of a company under whose shadow I have been fortunate enough to learn.
Here I will also invoke some names that most S&S folks
can identify with: Eric Clark, Richard Gushue, Kevin Gordon,
George Thomas, Brian Loiselle, Richard Higgins (our beloved
“Chicken-Man”), Art Morin, Eric Gifford, Fuzzy Wilson, Tim
Folster, Greg McDougall, Ken Thurlow (Joe’s nephew).
Though S&S cannot match HES in terms of historical perspective, these folks have provided a fabric as strong as any
for the support of a world-class construction company.
* * *
And we are world-class.
I firmly believe that any success we enjoy today is a privilege we’ve earned through our efforts. The success of these
companies—dating back to HES’ 1926 start and S&S’ 1992
start—is not necessarily the result of management decisions
and actions. Success resides—and may be lost the fastest—
in the field: it is the successful joining of a pipe for which a
test is a mere formality; a truck prepared to back in at the
right time; the excavator swinging a minimum amount to
load, with a full bucket; placing gravel where it should be
placed, and not where it shouldn’t; it’s the thing done right
the first time. Our success is in the dirt.
Success is planning, painstaking attention to details, and
efficient execution of work perpetually—this is success for
which other companies can hold you in envy, and you can and
should be proud of it.
* * *
But today’s success does not guarantee tomorrow’s.
Competition breeds where complacency sets in. We owe
it to our customers and ourselves to be the best there is—not
in Maine, not in New England, not on the Eastern Seaboard;
just simply be the best there is.
Complacency can have no place here. There is no operation that can’t be improved within a day. Look for the opportunity—it’s there.
If you have other thoughts—or if you think this goal is too
lofty—I’d be pleased to hear from you in person to describe
my philosophy at length. My only goal is to be the best; every other benefit flows from that.
Thank you for your continued loyalty to our company.
* * *
You will receive notification soon of our Holiday Party,
which will most likely be held in mid-November in order to
allow you to enjoy other family and friends throughout the
holidays.
Please take this opportunity to join with me to welcome

John Sturgeon, a senior manager of
Stillwater-based general contracting firm
H.E. Sargent, Inc. and president of Sargent
Diversified Services, has been installed as
2005 President
of Associated
Constructors of
Maine.
During his
one-year term
as ACM
President, John
will be supported by an
executive
committee comprising Senior
John Sturgeon
Vice President
Jeffrey Ohler of H.E. Callahan Construction Co. (Auburn); Vice President Eldon
Morrison of CPM Constructors (Freeport);
Treasurer Loren Clarke of Nickerson &
O’Day, Inc. (Brewer); and a 30-member
Board of Directors representing all facets
of Maine’s construction industry.
John has been an active ACM member
for more than 20 years during which time
he has served on the board of directors and
numerous committees, including chairing
both the ACM-MDOT Joint Standing
Committee and the Heavy Highway
Committee. He also currently serves on the

Finally, with this acquisition came the departure of two
individuals whose absence we continue to work diligently to
fill. I refer, of course, to John Simpson and David Lakeman.
John’s four-plus decades of work on behalf of H.E. Sargent,
Inc. has left an indelible mark on the company. His financial
and business insight helped the company through some of its
most troubled times.
David’s attention to detail, will-do attitude, and three-plus
decades with the company earned him the utmost respect
from clients and employees alike.
I, personally, wish both of these men only the very best—
well-deserved in accordance with their efforts and their interest in the company and its people over the last 40 years.

Sargent & Sargent acquires H. E. Sargent
(Continued from page 1)
vice president of operations for H. E. Sargent.
Herb said Sargent & Sargent and H. E.
Sargent will operate largely independent of
each other for the remainder of 2005. He
said each company has a backlog of work
that should be completed before their
operations are merged together.
However, he said the companies will
work together when opportunities arise to
provide better service to our customers,
such as the Greenville Airport runway
reconstruction project.
Herb said the airport project was bid in
March and awarded to Sargent & Sargent
in August.
“We felt like this was a good project to
mesh our crews together for a common
goal,” he said. “It was a very fast-track
project, and as a result, folks and equipment from both companies were assigned.
They’ve been doing a heck of a job.”
Although most company operations
have proceeded along the lines of “business as usual,” two changes have been
noticeable on the H. E. Sargent side.
First, the company has been upgrading
the H. E. Sargent heavy equipment fleet,
taking a total of 38 older pieces of equipment out of service and replacing them
with new models, most of them leased with
an option to buy.
“Herb wants his people to have good
running equipment to work with—the best
tools to get the job done,” says Tim
Richards, Equipment Department manager
for H. E. Sargent. “He believes the equipment should be kept up to date, but he also
expects it to stand the test of time.”
All told, Tim said 20 to 25 percent of
the H. E. Sargent heavy equipment fleet is
being replaced. A few pieces haven’t been
replaced, but they will be as soon as the
equipment dealers can fill the orders.
Second, the company has taken steps to
confirm its commitment to the Mid-Atlantic region, where H. E. Sargent has developed a strong relationship with Ryland
Homes and L. F. Jennings, two of the
region’s leading general contractors.
Of the new equipment that has been
leased, eight pieces—three bulldozers, two
excavators, and two loaders—are in the
Mid-Atlantic region.
Herb said he asked Pat Dubay to return
to the Mid-Atlantic region and to set up a
permanent office there. At the time of the
acquisition, the Mid-Atlantic region was
being run from a temporary field office at
the Village of Idlewild project in
Fredericksburg.
“We’re committed to the Mid-Atlantic
region, and we want our customers and our
employees to know that,” Herb said.
Pat, who served as Mid-Atlantic regional manager from 2000 to the end of
2004, said the company is leasing an
1,800-square-foot office in the Southpoint/
Massaponex area of Fredericksburg. The
office will open November 1.
H. E. Sargent was founded in 1926 by
Herb’s grandfather, Herbert E. Sargent.
The company was sold by the family in
1988 to the French construction firm
Razel. After a series of mergers, H. E.
Sargent became part of Fru-Con, which is
owned by the German firm BilfingerBerger AG, in 1995.
Herb, who started working for
H. E. Sargent in 1979, founded Sargent &
Sargent in 1992.
Herb says joining Sargent & Sargent
and H. E. Sargent together makes sense,
because both companies specialize in
earthwork, site preparation, and landfill
work.
He recognizes the family connection,
but he downplayed it when interviewed by
the Bangor Daily News shortly after the
acquisition last July.
He told the BDN that he wants to focus
on the future of the combined companies,
rather than on the historic family connection between them.
“[The acquisition] really blends two
extremely strong work forces together,”
Herb said. “If you take the family connection out of it, I’d feel the same way about
it.”

Sargent & Sargent crews
working on 5 projects in Bangor area
Sargent & Sargent crews have been working on five jobs this fall in the Bangor area.
They are:
• Phase 7 of the Pine Tree Landfill
in Hampden—Construction of a 7 1/2 acre
cell on the side of the landfill. The cell has
been completed, and the owner, Casella
Waste Systems, started placing waste in the
cell on September 16, two weeks ahead of
schedule. S&S crews are currently completing the final punchlist items.
The $3.5 million project, which began
June 1, included base grading and installation of secondary and primary liners and
leachate detection , collection, and transport systems. Project superintendent was
Doug Barnes.
• Site work for the new Bangor
police station, including storm drainage
and new and rebuilt parking areas. Work
began on September 1. The crews have
been excavating for pile driving; the next
phase will be assisting the general contractor, Nickerson & O’Day, with the foundation work. Project superintendent is Richard Gushue. The target completion date
for the $700,000 project is June 2006.
• Hammond Lumber expansion—A
$400,000 project to expand Hammond
Lumber’s retail storage area, including site
preparation for a new retail storage building. Sargent & Sargent crews started in
late August, grubbing the field area behind
the Hammond Lumber store on outer
Hammond Street in Bangor and hauling
off about 6,000 yards of grubbings. The
crews have installed storm drains and are
now working on foundation excavation for
a 300x100 storage building.
Concrete millings and hot top millings
are being hauled in from the Bangor International Airport terminal apron reconstruction project (see below) for use in
place of sub-base gravel and base gravel.
Sargent & Sargent is a subcontractor for
Lane Construction on the project, which is
scheduled for completion by mid-November. Project superintendent is Curtis Van
Aken.
• BIA terminal apron reconstruction— This is a $300,000 project that includes demolition of existing trench drains,
installation of new drainage, excavation of
existing sub-base gravel (P-154) and placement of base crushed material (P-209).
The general contractor, Lane Construction, is milling the hot top and concrete
slabs and placing the millings in Sargent &
Sargent trucks for removal to the Hammond
Lumber site. The original plan was for
Sargent & Sargent to break up the slabs and
haul them to Lane Construction, where they
would be put it through Lane’s crusher.
Milling the slabs on site allowed Lane to
reduce its costs on the Hammond Lumber
project, which helped them get the bid.
Project superintendent is Kendall Bickford.
• Maine Air National Guard deicing tanks—Work began early in September on a $300,000 project to install
underground de-icing storage tanks for the
Maine Air National Guard in Bangor. The
project will be completed by December 1.
Project superintendent is Steve Raymond.
Project manager for all five projects is
Operations Manager Kevin Gordon.
S&S nearing completion on landfill cell
Sargent & Sargent is nearing completion on construction of a 4-acre cell for
Casella Waste Systems at Casella’s West
Old Town landfill.
The $3.5 million project includes
35,000 yards of excavation and installation
of 14,000 yards of clay liner, 14,000 yards
of leachate collection sand, and 2,500
linear feet of dual containment force main
(one pipe within a second pipe to ensure
that any leaks are detected).
The crews also did the site work for a
1-million-gallon storage tank.
Work on the project started in June and
will be completed by the end of October.
Doug Barnes is the project superintendent.
Eric Clark started the job as superintendent before being reassigned to oversee
the Greenville Airport project. Tim

(Continued from page 1)
During January and February, the crews
worked five days a week, 24 hours a day
to take advantage of frozen ground. In
addition to increased production, the cold
weather offered several advantages to the
project. It eliminated the need to build an
access road for the trucks while maximizing available landfill space. It also minimized landfill odor by reducing the
amount of methane generated by the decomposing waste material.
After the waste relocation part of the
project was completed in early March, the
crews began excavating 85,000 yards of
earth for the new cell. The excavation was
completed May 14.
The project also includes installation of
12,800 wick drains (equal to 60 miles of
drains) to dewater the site and allow the
soft foundational clays to consolidate and
gain strength when waste is placed in the
lined cell.
A mechanically-stabilized earthen
berm, 8 to 15 feet high, is being constructed around the perimeter of the cell, using
layers of earth interspersed with woven
textile to give added strength. The outer
slope of the berm is nearly vertical, expanding the lateral footprint of the liner
system and further increasing consolidation and strength gain of the clays at the
landfill’s edge.
The berm will also include infrastructure elements—including storm water,
leachate transfer, and electrical systems—
for the new cell.
The crews are now placing 30,000
yards of barrier clay in the cell to prevent
seepage. A Waste Management contractor
will install a liner over the 17.6-acre cell,
and then H. E. Sargent crews will lay
down 26,000 yards of drainage sand in a
layer one foot deep, with 6,500 linear feet
of drainage pipe. Then the crews will
place 26,000 yards of tire chips, also one
foot deep, as a drainage layer.
The project also includes construction
of a leachate vault for the pumping station.
Steve Perry is the project manager, and
Dee Hobart is the project superintendent.

The foremen are Mark Wright, Tim
LePage, Tim Blais, and Larry Litchfield.
Throughout the project, several procedures have been followed to ensure that
the waste excavation process didn’t threaten the landfill’s stability. The affected
portion of the landfill was divided into
three areas, based on elevation. Work on
the lowest level, which was the most critical because of the weight of material
pressing down on it, was done only during
the day. Also, when waste material was
removed from critical areas, the crews
backfilled immediately with granular material to maintain the weight on the bottom
of the landfill and ensure stability.
One of the key project challenges was
the cell’s position over a very soft and
deep deposit of marine clay. To monitor
the clay’s response to the excavation, several geotechnical devices were installed
around the landfill perimeter, including:
• Vibrating wire piezometers were
used to monitor the pore pressure in the
foundation clays.
• Settlement plates tracked consolida-
tion of the clays.
• Slope inclinometers monitored the
movement of the waste slopes during excavation and relocation.
By replacing the unlined cell with a
lined cell with increased soil stability,
valuable air space has been obtained at the
Crossroads facility, with minimal additional area required. Perhaps most important,
however, is that relocating solid waste
from an unlined cell to a lined cell with
increase groundwater quality for generations to come.

S&S, HES working together to reconstruct Greenville runway
Sargent & Sargent and H. E. Sargent
crews have been working together on a
fast-track project to reconstruct runway
14-32 at the Greenville Airport.
Work on the $3.9 million project started
a week before Labor Day, and the crews
had 15 days to complete the reconstruction
of the runway where it intersects with
runway 3-21, the crosswind runway.
“The airport had its annual Fly-In
scheduled for September 10,” said Vice
President-Operations Tim Folster. “We
told them we’d have the runways back
open by the morning of September 8th for
the fly-in, and we did.”
Tim said the H. E. Sargent crews “really
helped out” in the push to get the runway
intersection rebuilt in that timeframe.
Project superintendent Eric Clark has
been in charge of both the Sargent &
Sargent and the H. E. Sargent crews, with
Colby Currier providing support from
Stillwater.
After the Fly-In, work resumed on
runway 14-32, leaving runway 3-21 as the
airport’s only operational runway.
The project remains on a fast track,
with completion scheduled for 2006.
Runway 14-32 will be closed for the
remainder of the construction season and
will be reopened when construction shuts
down for the winter.
The project has required 60,000 yards
of excavation, 68,000 yards of gravel,
9,000 feet of underdrain, and 8,000 yards
of loam.
Twenty acres at the airport had to be
cleared as part of the project.
Tim said that the company has been
crushing its own aggregate from pits in the
area.
“We found some existing ledge on site
that we’re going to blast to create more
aggregate on site,” he said. “The ledge is
outside of our work area, but the town is
letting us go in and take it. It will mean
less trucking of material through town.”
In addition to having Sargent & Sargent
and H. E. Sargent crews working together
for the first time, runway 14-32 provides
another connection to the two companies.
H. E. Sargent crews built the runway 20
years ago, in the 1980s.

H. E. Sargent working on 4 Ryland Homes projects
Since April 2004, H. E. Sargent has
been doing site preparation work in Fredericksburg, VA, for the Ryland Group, a
Fortune 500 company that built almost
17,000 homes in 2004.
The quality of that work paid off earlier
this year when Ryland asked Sargent to
take over a $6 million site preparation
project at Ryland’s Buckler Properties
development in Clinton, MD.
In addition, H. E. Sargent crews have
begun work on two more Ryland Homes
projects—a housing development in Westbury, MD, and Phase III of the Village of
Idlewild in Fredericksburg.
The Buckler Properties project includes
house pads for 200 units on a 50-acre site,
roadways, and utilities for the development.
Pat Dubay, who recently took over as
H. E. Sargent’s Mid-Atlantic Region manager, said the company was brought in at
the beginning of April.
“Ryland Homes negotiated the job with
H. E. Sargent because of the quality of our
work on Phase I in Fredericksburg and our
positive relationship with Ryland Homes,”
he said.
The Buckler project required 15,000
yards of excavation, including stripping all
the topsoil from the site. The crews are
bringing 150,000 yards of imported borrow to the site to bring it up to subgrade.
The project also includes two box culverts,
18,000 feet of pipe, and 8,400 tons of gravel.
The existing road in front of the subdivision is being upgraded as part of the
project.
Project superintendent for H. E. Sargent
is Mike Brochu; the project manager is
Dave Romans.
Dave, who spent eight years with H. E.
Sargent before going to work for Fru-Con,
came back to HES in mid-September as
project manager on this and other jobs.
Pat says the project may have to be shut
down temporarily during October to wait
for permits. A similar occurrence caused
the project to be shut down for several
weeks last spring.
In Westbury, MD, H. E. Sargent is doing the site preparation for 225 units on 50

H. E. Sargent has completed the Phase
II of the site preparation for the Village of
Idlewild, the Ryland Homes development
in Fredericksburg, and has begun work on
Phase III. Phase I was a $6.2 million
project that included construction of 190
house pads on a 50-acre site. Phase II was
a $9.5 million project with 200 singlefamily homes and 150 townhouses on a
65-acre site. Phase III—the final phase of
the development—is an $8.5 million project
covering 60 acres with 250 housing units.
Clearing work for Phase III started in
July, followed by erosion and sediment
control and pond construction. Earthwork
for the project began in late September.
Phase III will include 400,000 yards of
excavation, installation of a very large
culvert—200 feet of triple 10x12 box
culverts—and the extension of Idlewild
Boulevard to an existing subdivision on
the Route 1 side of the development.

H. E. Sargent gets 2 contracts for projects at Maryland airport
H. E. Sargent, Inc., has two contracts
totaling $8.6 million for improvements at
the Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport in Salisbury, MD.
The first contract is for a $3.4 million
project to reconstruct the airport’s general
aviation apron and taxiway.
Work started on August 1. Estimated
completion date is May 2006.
The project involves minimal excavation, but the crews will have to contend
with a high groundwater table and marginal soils. Project manager Pat Dubay
said the crews may have to undercut the
apron and taxiway areas in order to replace marginal soils with good material
and/or use soil cement to get a good base.
The project superintendent is Mike
Brochu. Project manager is Dave Romans.
The second contract, for $5.2 million, is
to reconstruct runway 14-32. Work will
start in November and be completed in the
summer of 2006.
Apron and taxiway improvements at the Salisbury-Ocean City-Wicomico Regional Airport.
The project, which will require 200,000
yards of excavation, will narrow the existing runway from 150 feet wide to 100 feet
wide. The existing drainage system, which
is failing, will be replaced by a brand new
storm drain system.
Landfill-capping project almost complete at Langley AFB ammo dump
H. E. Sargent crews are nearing
completion of a landfill-capping project at
Langley AFB, VA.
Work on the project started in May and
should be completed November 1.
The cap isn’t being placed over an
ordinary landfill—it’s actually an old ammunition dump, with at least a few real
bombs inside.
In fact, when the crew was excavating
in a corner of the project area, they excavated a bomb—”unexploded ordinance” in
military terminology.
Project manager Pat Dubay noted that
the crew had been warned that this could
happen, and part of the excavation procedure is to have an Air Force observer
present to look out for material that could
be dangerous.
“He knew what to look for,” Pat said.

“Air Force security people took the bomb
away and blew it up with C4 explosive.”
Pat said approximately 60,000 yards of

H. E. Sargent crews begin work on South Portland ash landfill
H. E. Sargent crews have begun work
on a $6.5 million project to construct a
7 1/2-acre lined cell at the Regional Waste
Systems landfill in South Portland to receive ash from the RWS waste-to-energy
incinerator in Portland.
The project is the first phase of a 20acre expansion of the RWS ash landfill.
The landfill features a state-of-the-art
double-liner system which provides maximum protection for the groundwater and
soil surrounding the landfill site.
Work on the project began September 14.
Project superintendent Katrina Morgan said
she expected to have the bulk of the earth
moving completed this fall and the rest of the
project completed by October 2006.
She said the subgrade for the new cell
will require between five and eight feet of
fill, most of which will come from an
adjacent portion of the site, where phase
two of the expansion is planned.
In all, 267,000 yards of fill will be
moved from the 8 1/2-acre borrow area in
phase two to create the subgrade for phase
one, which will include an underdrain
system to prevent groundwater from coming up from underneath the liner.
Once the subgrade is in place, the crews
will create a 24-inch soil barrier layer
using 60,000 yards of clay to provide
added protection in the event of a leak.
The next step will be to install the liner
system, which is made up of a secondary
and a primary liner, with a double-sided
fabric in between. The two liners are both
60-mil high-density polyethylene (HDPE),
about 1/16th of an inch thick. The doublesided fabric encloses a drainage net, which
creates a void for water or leachate to
travel through, providing early warning of
any leaks in the primary liner.
Once the liner system is in place, the
crews will place a one-foot drainage layer
of free-draining sand, which will include a
leachate collection and piping system,
topped by a geotextile fabric and a 3 1/2foot layer of soil to protect the drainage
layer from frost.
Leachate collected in the cell will be
drained to the low end and then pumped to
a leachate collection pond. H. E. Sargent
will reconstruct an existing pond, removing the old liner, increasing the height of
the surrounding berms to increase its capacity, and then installing a new liner and
a new intake structure.
A stability berm made up of 80,000
yards of soil will be erected at the low end
of the cell to offset the weight of the ash
that is placed in the cell.
Katrina said the crews are currently
moving about 6,500 yards of grubbings or
excavation per day. The H. E. Sargent
fleet on the site presently includes nine
rear dumps, three D-6 dozers, one D-8
dozer, two 330 excavators, one 950 loader,
two smooth-drum rollers, one pad-foot
roller, a fuel truck, and a water truck.
RTD Enterprises of Madison will install
the liner system. Nylex Construction of
Colorado will install 225,000 linear feet of
wick drain to wick water up from the subsurface soils underneath the stability berm.

HES completes one project for L. F. Jennings and adds another
H. E. Sargent has completed one project and will soon be
working on another for L. F. Jennings of Falls Church, VA,
one of the premier building contractors and developers in the
mid-Atlantic area.
The completed project was a $2.6 million contract for
site preparation for the Lorton Marketplace, a 110,000
square foot mixed use shopping center in Lorton, VA, just
south of the Beltway.
A subcontractor for Jennings spent several months refurbishing the land, with support from H. E. Sargent, to make it
suitable for building.
The subcontractor used two ground preparation methods
called dynamic compaction and ironing, which consisted of
repeatedly pounding the land surface with a ball weight and
then hammering it smooth with a large, flat plate. Afterwards, the site was covered with controlled structured fill.

Construction of a new taxiway at the
Presque Isle Airport is on schedule and
will be completed by the end of October.
The $2 million project, which began in
June, included all the excavation, fill,
drainage, electrical and lighting, and paving for the taxiway.
John Sturgeon, project manager for
H. E. Sargent, said the crews worked on a
compressed schedule with a very tight
timeline. The project had to be completed
within 130 calendar days of the notice to
proceed with the job.
The crews also had to work within the
confines of an operating airport. The
vehicles had to be specially marked, and
the company’s equipment had to stay at
least 250 feet away from the runway.

The $7.5 million project, which began
in 2004, includes a 4-mile section in Bethel, from the Fleming Road to Route 5,
and a 1.5-mile section in Gilead, from the
Maine-New Hampshire state line to the
Wild River bridge.
Project manager Wendell Harriman said
about 75% of the roadway in Bethel and
25% of the roadway in Gilead were completed with base pavement by November
2004 before the project was shut down for
the winter.
He added that the crews did as much of
the off-highway work they could in Gilead
last fall—getting the roadway to subgrade
in both a deep fill area and a big cut area.

Bethel, Gilead nearing completion
were in place last fall, as well.
When work resumed in late April, the
project was about two months ahead of
schedule, with completion anticipated by
the end of July. However, project changes
resulting from unforeseen conditions in the
Gilead section have extended the project
by about three months. The target completion date for finish paving is now October
14, with minor punch-list items to be completed this fall.
Wendell said the delays occurred because the actual elevations of the slope
above the relocated highway in Gilead
were found to be 20 feet higher than the
plan elevations, which were determined
through aerial photogrammetry.
As a result, the MDOT determined that
it was necessary to re-engineer the slope,
installing a pre-split ledge with boulder
retaining walls at the toe of the slope instead of rip-rap. However, the geology of
the rock did not allow that to happen.
When the explosive charges were set off to
create the pre-split face, much more material than planned broke away.
Janod, Inc., a Vermont company that
specializes in rock stabilization, is being
brought in to safely remove the excess
blasted material. Janod crews will install
ring nets to stabilize the slope, and then
remove the unstable material down to
bedrock with a slusher.
