Spalling concrete is a common issue especially for old buildings.
What happens when concrete spalls?
Spalling results when two elements are present in the concrete, air and moisture. The penetration of carbon dioxide in the concrete, also known as carbonation, interacts with water and causes the steel reinforcing bars embedded in the slab to rust and expand in volume. The expansive forces upon the surrounding concrete eventually forces the concrete/painted surface to peel, crack, or break off.
Spalling of concrete is an undesirable condition; not only do they pose a potential hazard if the spalled concrete falls and strikes a person, they may also affect the structural integrity of the structure.
An example is of residents reporting on falling concrete chunks at home which could potentially injure household members.
What to do when concrete spalls?
There are several methods to go about it. Mapei recommends some examples for treating spalled concrete for building structures in commercial setting and home setting.
1. Ensure sufficient ventilation - A humid environment will speed up carbonation. It is recommended to open the windows and doors of especially closed-in spaces such as kitchen and toilets to reduce humidity.
2. Seal cracks/ holes properly - Check your ceiling and facades for any holes or cracks. The cracks or holes drilled and left unused should be sealed immediately to prevent moisture and carbon dioxide from entering the concrete.
3. Repair spalling concrete – Engage a contractor to remove the spalled concrete until the steel bars are exposed. The rust on the steel bars are to be removed with a wire brush and then coated with anti-corrosion paint (Mapefer 1K). Thereafter, patching is done with grouting mortar Planitop G40 SP or Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 to obtain a smooth finish. Painting of the surface is the last step.
4. Painting - Painting surfaces will help seal off the cracks and reduce moisture and air from entering.
For Commercial buildings/structures
- Sealing of dry and wet cracks
First, check for cracks on the concrete surface. Cracks have to be sealed and treated to prevent water and air from entering.
For dry cracks, Mapei recommends epoxy resin, Epojet LV, for injecting into the micro-cracks to seal them. This product is also suitable on damp surfaces, beams, pillars and building structures. Adesilex PG2 SP epoxy adhesive, is suitable for sealing cracks with injectors and repair surface damage.
For wet cracks in commercial building structures where there is water leakage, a fluid polyurethane injection resin for waterproofing structures is suitable. Once injected into the structures via packers, what Resfoam 1 KM does is that it increases in volume as soon as it is in contact with water creating a polyurethane foam and thus sealing cracks and blocks water seepages. The process can be followed by sealing the micro-cracks with Epojet LV and Adesilex PG2 SP. Surfaces can then be grinded to ensure a smooth finish.
Repairing corroded steel bars
If corroded steel bars are detected, the first step is to remove the spalled concrete to expose the corroded steel bars. Next, remove the rust by using a wire brush and then coat the steel bars with anti-corrosion cement mortar/paint (Mapefer 1K or Mapefer). If the corroded steel bars are in a bad condition, they may have to be removed and installed a new one in its place. The area has to be patched back with a non-shrink grout/mortar, Planitop Smooth & Repair R4 fibre-reinforced mortar for the repair of concrete.
Thereafter, there is the option to protect and waterproof the structure. For this, Mapei recommends flexible waterproofing cementitious mortar, Mapelastic. The last step is to paint the surface for a final finish.
Above is just one example of repairing concrete. There are many scenarios on concrete deterioration, be it repairing and grouting a pillar in a pile foundation, strengthening a floor slab on a pier or doing repairs on a viaduct. Every scenario requires different methods of treating the problem. The first step is to detect the cause of corrosion and then recommend suitable solutions.
Write to Mapei for consultation on deteriorating concrete for your project needs.


Tarmac – Shireoak case study
50/50 split between gravel and fine sand
- Commander 1400 10×5 2 deck full rinser
- Powerscrub 120R
- Finesmaster 120
- Commander 1400 10×5 2 deck part rinser
- 6 T5032 conveyors
- Pegson cone crusher
- Caterpillar genset
Bunter sand deposit Tarmac Shireoak needed to process sand and gravel raw material containing a very fine sand content. Typically, 30% of the material passes the 300mm sieve and 7% of the raw material presents as silt.
Successful production of the 20-5mm gravel product was considered essential, as it’s the grade most customers need for concrete, however to achieve the correct specification, the Tarmac Shireoak plant needed to remove some of the 10mm product.
In devising a plant where hopper loaded material could subsequently be washed by the Commander 1400 to produce 0-3mm sand, 0-6mm sand (using a split bottom deck), a midsize 6-20mm and an oversize (+20mm); the designed Duo system could successfully enable sand slurries to be piped to the Finesmaster, before being dewatered and having the fines recovered and stockpiled.
The system would enable oversize product to be crushed and fed back to the primary Commander and midsize material could be scrubbed of clay in the Powerscrub 120R, before a secondary screen rinse and grading to the required 10 and 20mm products.
The Powerscreen wash plant is producing 4 grades of high-quality clean aggregate. The Finesmaster 120 with its combination of bucket wheel and twin hydro cyclone sand recover systems means that fine sand losses to the ponds are minimised thus maximising production of saleable product. In addition, the second screen process, using a 2-deck box system and a variety of modular mats brings the 20-5mm gravel product within the required spec. As such, a tonnage: 200,000 TPY, 100 TPH + recirculated material from the crusher, is successfully producing building sand to BS1200, concrete sand to BS882, 10mm stone and 5-20mm stone.

A Safe System assumes that even responsible road users will sometimes make mistakes. This does not mean that road users have no role to play in improving road safety.
What is the problem?
Compared to other OECD countries, New Zealand has a relatively high rate of road deaths per head of population. New Zealand is a highly motorised country. More of our travel is by car than in many other countries. Even when we take this into account, a comparison between our level of deaths per vehicle kilometres travelled with the other countries shows our performance is the poorest.
Analysis of New Zealand’s current road crash problem, and how it is likely to change over 2020–2030, shows there are 13 areas where current performance needs to be strengthened. Areas of high concern are Reducing alcohol/drug impaired driving, Increasing the safety of young drivers, Safe roads and roadsides, Safe speeds and Increasing the safety of motorcycling. The overarching goal of Road To Zero is to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries (DSI) by 40 percent by 2030.
What are we doing about it?
The vision, a safe road system increasingly free of death and serious injury, challenges us to see road deaths and serious injuries as preventable.
We will need a significant shift in the way we think about and manage road safety if we are to realise our Road to Zero aspirational vision. Our current approach could maintain our existing level of road safety, but it will not deliver further reductions in the number of deaths and serious injuries.
To achieve this change we will take a Safe System approach to road safety. The Safe System differs from traditional approaches to road safety. Rather than always blaming the road user for causing a crash, it acknowledges that even responsible people sometimes make mistakes in their use of the roads.
The Safe System focuses on creating safe roads, safe speeds, safe vehicles and safe road use. Download the complete Road to Zero road safety strategy here and the Road To Zero Action Plan 2020-2022.

1. How is it determined what road or sidewalk is plowed first?
The municipality determines snow and ice removal priorities by following Provincial legislation (Municipal Act, Ontario Regulation 239/02, Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways). These standards identify the regulations revolving response time, snow accumulation, and icy conditions for the various road classifications and sidewalks. Street classification and level of service dictates within which cycle time the road will be plowed. Generally, a full operation takes approximately 8 to 10 hours when activated. It can take longer occasionally due to equipment break down, intensity of the storm, vehicle on street parking or the need to return to priority streets. Once snow operations are deployed, their aim is to clear the way for you, efficiently and effectively.
2. Why did the plow only clear one side of my street?
The plow travels on the right side of the road with traffic and is therefore only capable of directing the snow only one way-off the right side of the truck. You may see the plow clear only one side of your street before they are able to safely turn around and return to plow the other half of the street. Please be assured that we will return to clear your entire street.
3. Why does the plow come down my side of the street first and put more snow on my side?
During a storm that generates large accumulations of snow; repetitive plow operations may be required during big storms to bring the street to satisfactory condition. If the municipality waits too long to commence plowing operations, you will be restricted in your ability to use the roadway network. What you may also be seeing is a first pass by grader or dump truck with front plow and a wing plow. This equipment does the major plowing. This is often followed up towards the end of a storm with a sander / salter truck which has a plow used to clear small amount of snow to make sanding / salting more effective.
4. Can plows minimize the amount of snow left at the bottom of my driveway?
The priority of our work crews is clearing the travelled portion of the road. The only place to move the snow is onto the boulevard, which includes driveways. As a result, snow left at the bottom of driveways is unavoidable.
5. Why is there so much noise at night from your operations?
Depending on the time of the storm event, the municipality has no choice but to carry out overnight operations. Night time operations are generally more efficient and ensure road network is ready for morning rush hour.
6. After the plow goes by my residence, my driveway gets longer.
As winter progresses, the width of the snow banks sometimes encroaches further onto the roadway. Snow banks are pushed or blown away when the width of roadway pavement become significantly reduced.
7. I live on a corner and I always get more snow from your plows than other on my street.
Plow operators try as best as possible to equally distribute the snow by plowing the snow away from corner driveway entrances. A street corner typically receives more snow on the side and front of yard as two roadways meet generating more snow in a limited area.
8. Why are snow removal crews working when it is not snowing?
Snow removal involves much more than simply plowing roads when there is a storm. Crews must also remove the snow so that it does not impede with regular traffic, pedestrian, etc. Removal or reduction of snow banks is carried out when snow banks restrict sightlines, travel widths, pedestrian, etc. traffic or to relieve trapped water on the roadway or sidewalk and to create storage space for future snowfall.
9. Why do I see snow plows going down my street scraping roads when there isn't that much snow on the road?
As winter weather conditions fluctuate, we try to take advantage of milder temperature to return residential roads to bare pavement while limiting salt usage. Although the Minimum Maintenance Standards for Municipal Highways indicate residential roads are maintained at "snow packed" standard, in the early winter, we try and take advantage of the mild overnight temperature to remove the ruts which have already formed on the snowpacked surface. This allows for a better surface to clear in the upcoming winter months. In addition, the clearing operation assists in keeping catch basins open to avoid flooding. If weather permits, we push snow banks back to curbs to provide more driving width on the roadway and storage place for snow along residential streets. In the long term, this may also help in reducing the cost of snow removal.
10. The municipality's snow operations equipment damaged my lawn. What can I do?
Unfortunately, during winter maintenance operations, municipal equipment causes lawn damage. If damage occurs, please contact the Municipal Office at 705 753 2250. Crews are deployed early in the spring to investigate and repair appropriate damaged areas by using topsoil and seed when warranted.
11. Why does the municipality only clear certain roadside ditches of snow in the spring?
Roadside ditches are cleared at the outlet end of the ditch system to provide positive drainage for the spring melt. Municipal crews prioritize know critical areas and attempt to minimize the risk of flooding. The clearing operations are not designed to drain all ditches of spring melt water.
12. What to do if your mailbox is damaged by the snow plow?
The municipality will replace a damaged mailbox if the damage is deemed to result from a direct hit by plow equipment. Mailboxes damaged by snow load off the plow equipment will not be replaced by the municipality. Should your mailbox be damaged, please contact the Municipal office at 705-753-2250. An inspection and assessment will be made by the respective Working Foreman and reported to the Director.
13. Who do I call to report a street that has not been cleared?
It is important to remember that the municipality's first priority is keeping the main roads clear. Please be patient. Town crews will get to your road as soon as possible.
14. Why is it prohibited to park on the street during a snowstorm?
Parked vehicles can prevent snow removal crews from clearing the roads in a timely and efficient manner. Vehicles obstructing snow clearing operations are subject to a fine and may be towed at the owner's expense.
15. What can I do to help snow removal crews keep streets safe and clear?
The following safety tips will help us keep roads clear of snow and safe for drivers and pedestrians:
- Keep children informed about winter road safety. Avoid digging tunnels near roads or in snow banks, as cars and snowplows can come by at any moment.
- Walk on sidewalks if possible. If this is not possible, walk against the traffic on the side of the road. Wear reflective clothes at night.
- Remove any ornaments or decorations placed near the street, as they could be damaged by snow removal activities.
16. Do you sand and salt roads?
All roads are maintained in snow packed condition. We use a sand/salt mixture in areas that are hazardous i.e. hills, curves, intersections and railway crossings.
17. What are the Spring Street Sweeping priorities?
Spring street sweeping commences between May 1st and May 31st, weather permitting. The Downtown core and main streets are completed first. Street sweeping priorities are based on the volumes of traffic on roadways where winter road sand may generate excessive dust. Once all the snow and ice has melted from the road shoulders and curbs, the Spring Sweeping Program is started.
18. How do I report problems with traffic devices such as street signs, traffic lights, crosswalks, etc.?
Please contact the Municipal Office at 705-753-2250. For after-hours or on weekends call 705 753 1170
19. What is the procedure for requesting tree trimming or removal of trees on municipal property?
The municipality has many trees in and adjacent to road allowance. Their maintenance requires a great deal of staff time and is a significant expense in the Public Works budget. Tree conditions are constantly monitored to prioritize maintenance and /or removal. Being environmentally conscious, we appreciate the benefit of trees towards our quality of life. Please contact the Manager of Public Works about any trees that you would like municipal staff to assess.
20. Who do I contact for a new road entrance?
For the installation of a new road entrance, please contact the Municipal Office at 705 753 2250
21. My property is on a private road that receives no road services, will the municipality assume the road and provide service?
The municipality has a policy that a road will not be assumed until it is constructed to a municipal standard that allows for the safe use of the road by the public and by our municipal roads equipment. In addition to this, the Council will also consider if the road serves a public interest, and if the future tax revenue justifies the ongoing road maintenance cost. A request for this is initiated by writing a letter to Council describing the road and from this; Council will usually direct staff to prepare a report that addresses all of the issues/concerns.
22. If I see road damage, a tree blocking the road, etc., how do I report it?
Call the Municipal Office at 705 753 2250
For after-hours or on weekends call 705 753 1170
23. Beavers are causing flooding of my property, will you respond?
We do not respond to flooding on private property unless the beaver has built a dam or other obstacle on a municipal property that is the cause of your flooding.
24. Our driveway has washed out, will you fix it?

Is commercial construction on a comeback for real?
As the manufacturing industry slowly glided back to its rightful place since the recession, commercial construction is likewise making a strong comeback, felt especially this year.
2014: Good Year For General Contractors
While the industry was beset by the cement shortage, it has been a good year for many area general contractors. In fact, some construction companies are saying that the scenario was similar to 2007, just before the recession hit the country.
Back To Pre-Recession Years
In Racine, Wisconsin, Bukacek Construction couldn’t be happier with how their business is doing so far. Jim Cairns, CEO of Bukacek said that during recession, most construction companies would consider it a good year with 2 or 3 projects. Bukacek had enough projects in 2014 to make a banner year, including:
- Racine Dental Group office building
- $10.5 million jobs at 1101 S. Airline Road
Impact On Local Tradesmen
For these two projects alone, Bukacek had ensured employment for 20 people daily and a total of 80 to 90 workers until completion. Cairns said that the huge impact is on the local tradesmen as they didn’t have to worry about having any work. With many companies requiring building additions, it meant more work in the area.
A good example is the expansion plans of Unico, Inc., a manufacturing company that specializes in control systems and AC/DC drives which included building an additional manufacturing facility which created around 175 jobs for the locals. Bukacek started the project in 2012 and completed it in October this year. Another Bukacek project is the extensive renovation for Cree, a lighting company at 9201 Washington Ave. As Bukacek got busy the entire year, Cairns said they were able to have nearly all of their staff back to work.
Great Year Of Opportunities
Another construction company based in Kenosha, Riley Construction, like Bukacek, had a great year in terms of opportunities. According to the company chairman, Dave Riley, the company was back to a pre-recession time with slimmer profit margins.
The company was still able to get good deals even though the construction field remains highly competitive. What’s good for construction companies is that the lease rates remained at their level and have not increased in years.
Riley said they make their ROI by getting construction done cheaper but without sacrificing quality and structural integrity. Cheaper construction does not mean replacing concrete and screw anchors with cheaper alternatives. It’s more of proper construction management.
More Commercial Construction Projects
Riley’s projects included:
- Addition/renovation to David A Straz Jr Center for the Natural and Social Sciences of Carthage College valued at $32 million
- United Hospital Systems’ medical offices project worth $8 million to $9 million
- 176,000 square-foot building in Pleasant Prairie
For Riley Construction, they felt the comeback of commercial construction in early 2013 as they took in about $105 million. They expect to make from $140 million to $150 million at the end of 2014.
Challenges: Labor And Material Shortage
With commercial construction increasing its activities, the construction industry faced a couple of challenges.
It had to deal with the shortage of tradesmen. The recession had got most of them out of the trades, so when commercial construction boomed, the number of available tradespeople was a lot less. It wasn’t easy for Riley Construction to find the required manpower for their projects. Even the unions did not have extra workers.
There has been a notable shortage of concrete finishers as they were required in several highway constructions and very large projects such as the distribution center of Amazon in Kenosha County. Any construction company could have hired more people as construction activities peaked this year. But there were just not enough tradesmen for the projects.
The industry also had to deal with cement shortage. The limited supply and availability of cement have affected and restricted the flow of concrete including precast concrete panels to various construction projects. Some construction companies were forced to postpone some projects because of materials supply level, specifically concrete.
Bukacek ordered precast panels four months in advance. Even aggregate stone for concrete and haulers were at very low levels – a clear indication of increased construction activities. It has become difficult to get the materials when everyone is busy with their own projects.
Despite the challenges, the construction industry has every reason to be smiling, right?
2 thoughts on “2014: A Good Year For Commercial Construction”
The strains on labor capacity in oil and gas construction markets worldwide are becoming increasingly well known. These strains continue to affect projected project costs, and several large capital projects have already been delayed or cancelled as a result of rising costs and questionable long-term profitability projections. To keep up with this extremely dynamic and competitive – if not unprecedented – business environment, U.S. energy infrastructure construction firms need to develop a robust talent pipeline to tackle the industry’s many business challenges in the coming years.
If contractors wrote a screenplay based on what has happened to the construction industry the past few years, the title could be “The Incredible Shrinking Profit Margin. The sustained decline in private- and public-sector projects has meant more builders and subcontractors are chasing after less work, and cutting their bid prices to win jobs. I hope the reports are correct that business is turning around for this all important industry.

Work on the Isabella sewer improvement project will have to be delayed until next year, due to the recent severe weather, Mount Prospect Public Works Director Sean Dorsey told the village board this week.
The work will complete the second and final public sector improvements identified in the village's 2011 Comprehensive Flood Study. It will construct a relief sewer system with 6,600 lineal feet of sewer to provide 25-year protection for about 800 single-family homes.
Funding for the work came from a $10 million loan.
Dorsey said the project involves installing a "spine" relief sewer, in addition to the sewer that is already in the Isabella area, which extends from Rand Road northwest of Central Road west past Route 83 almost to the Prospect High School area, with fingers that extend north and south.
The aim is to collect and store water temporarily during storms, before discharging it into an Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago interceptor system and/or the Deep Tunnel, he said.
Last fall, village staff proposed completing the improvements during the 2014 construction season as a single, large project, as opposed to phasing it in.
The village board agreed, authorizing an engineering contract calling for project design over the winter and sending it out for bid in the spring of 2014, with improvements expected to be complete by November.
However, the heavy and consistent snow cover this past winter prevented timely completion of the survey work and field data necessary to complete the bid documents, meaning the project is not ready for bidding.
"The issue wasn't so much the temperature, although it did play a role a little bit," Dorsey said. "The larger issue was snow cover. We simply had so much snow covering the ground, that we couldn't complete the survey work that was necessary to do the design."
As a consequence, he said, the design is not complete.
Dorsey told the board's committee of the whole on Tuesday that the window of opportunity for bid has been missed to bid and construct the project during the 2014 construction season.
Although the village has the option of a phased approach, with some of the work being done this year and the remainder for 2014, Dorsey said the staff prefers doing it all in 2015.
"There are certain economies of scale, if you will, if it is kept together as a larger project," he said. Phasing would also likely mean higher costs for construction and engineering.
Dorsey recommended the village modify the schedule so that construction can start in March 2015.
Trustee A. John Korn, who lives in the Isabella area, said he spoke with some of the engineers who were on site during the severest of the cold weather.
"These guys were out there. It's not that they were not trying. They were trying," he said. "They were doing some things and freezing, for the most part, as far as I was concerned."

MAY 2014 WATER 41 Feature Article Typical urban stormwater harvesting schemes include all or some combination of the components shown in Figure 1. DEVELOPMENT OF STORMWATER HARVESTING PRACTICE The robust engineering basis for the planning, design, construction, operation and maintenance of urban stormwater harvesting is yet to be developed. This is because it is a relatively new engineering concept, despite being used in some form or another in various places around the world for centuries. In the absence of the established design basis for stormwater harvesting -- designers of these schemes frequently resort to the approaches borrowed from more traditional disciplines such as municipal drainage and water-sensitive urban design (WSUD) -- a number of leading Australian stormwater professionals have commented on the issue. For example, Hatt, Deletic and Fletcher wrote in their article 'Integrated Treatment and Recycling of Stormwater: A Review of Australian Practice' (Journal of Environmental Management): "Existing stormwater recycling practice is far ahead of research in that there are no technologies designed speci cally for stormwater recycling. Instead, technologies designed for general stormwater pollution control are frequently utilised, which do not guarantee the necessary reliability of treatment. Performance modeling for evaluation purposes also needs further research, so that industry can objectively assess alternative approaches." However, as the practice of stormwater harvesting is continued and more projects are commissioned in the years to come, the design paradigm for stormwater harvesting should be further developed and validated. STORMWATER HARVESTING GUIDELINES One of the major barriers to the wider uptake of SWH, particularly by local government, is the absence of comprehensive SWH guidelines. Such guidelines would allow the stakeholders in schemes (councils, regulators, consultants, contractors and other groups) to have a uniform reference document outlining current best practice including legislative framework, design/functionality, construction, operation and maintenance. Once developed, this document, could offer comprehensive guidelines for implementation of stormwater harvesting schemes in Australia as part of an IWCM approach, based on current legislation, best available engineering science and practical lessons learnt during planning, design, construction and operation of existing SWH schemes. SWH guidelines will provide a clear path for implementation of best practice stormwater management related to SWH and use in Australia, contributing to: • Better management of stormwater (balancing the harvesting to maximum aquatic and terrestrial bene ts); • Improved water quantity and quality management; • Reduced local ooding; • Maximising the sustainable utilisation of stormwater as a resource; • Greater uptake of stormwater harvesting; • Improved green space in urban areas, contributing to liveability; • Improved allocation and harvesting of stormwater and integration with water-sensitive urban design; • Better landscapes and parkland managed with available stormwater; • Informed strategic directions and policies for stormwater management and integrated water management. By providing the knowledge and con dence to implement sustainable, well-designed SWH projects the Guidelines will set the benchmark for best practice SWH and provide the know-how to achieve it, overcoming many concerns and lack of knowledge currently associated with stormwater harvesting. The development of SWH guidelines is a complex and multidisciplinary project, requiring good coordination, adequate resources, extensive stakeholder consultation and suf cient time. The resulting document should be based on four main components (see Figure 2): 1. Current regulation and legislation 2. Best engineering practice 3. Consideration of operation and maintenance issues 4. Case studies and practical examples. A more detailed owchart on topics and structure of the guidelines is presented in Figure 3. PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT FOR STORMWATER TREATMENT DEVICES Selecting the right treatment train to meet the water quality objectives is essential for the successful and sustainable operation of SWH systems.

ABSTRACT: This paper proposes a new test for rock strength- the double-punch test, which was introduced by Chen (1970) for the determination of the indirect tensile strength of concrete. In this test, a circular cylindrical specimen of diameter 2b and length 2h is subjected to two rigid circular punches of diameter 2a (2b) at the top and bottom of the specimen. The testing machine for uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) can be used, and failure load is much lower than that for UCS. The normally observed fracture surfaces involve more than one fractures through the axis of symmetry. A new elastic theory for the test proposed recently by Wei and Chau (1999) will be discussed and compared to experimental results. The tensile strength interpreted from the present analysis is found comparable to the formula proposed by Bortolotti (1988) for a/b > 0.2 and agrees well with experimental data, and thus provides an improvement over Chen's (1970) original formula.

"The worst of the population of bridges are those rated under four," Hoffman said. "We did make a lot of strides in getting that number down, from 40 in the late 90s to about 20 now. But that's starting to rise again."
The number of bridges in disrepair is rising largely because of the state's ongoing fiscal crisis, Hoffman says.
Currently, DOT is planning bridge and culvert work based on a flat $600 million allocation. Hoffman notes that DOT is looking for funding closer to $700 million to meet its goals in the next five years.
But to bring New York's bridges up to speed, DOT would need about twice as much as it's seeking, Hoffman adds.
"If you look at what we realistically need to make us have a good state of repair where we're not taking the shocks off of people's vehicles and closing bridges - then we're closer to $1.6 billion," he said.
Hoffman told commissioners that in-park bridges require about $25 million worth of repairs. In Essex County alone, 46 bridges have been inspected and given "poor" ratings - including a bridge in Lake Luzerne that crosses the Hudson River and a bridge that carries motorists over the North Branch of the Boquet River.
In the Olympic region, Hoffman says two bridges crossing the West Branch of the AuSable River on state Route 73 will need to be replaced within the next five years.
"We're a little bit worse than most of the upstate regions," Hoffman said. "But I think they're coming to join us."
Jim Bridges - that is his real name - is a regional design engineer for DOT. He says the status of New York's bridges doesn't look good - but the problem persists nationwide.
"The revenue for most transportation projects comes from the federal government - between 80 and 90 percent of our projects are funded by the feds," Bridges said. "That funding is based on the 'gas tax' - which hasn't been touched since the early 90s. And gas use is down. So because that funding is tied directly to the gas tax, the highway trust fund has suffered as well."
Bridges says New York's transportation department, like most agencies, is doing the best it can with what it has.
Although yesterday's presentation focused primarily on bridges and culverts, Hoffman did provide some insight into the status of state highways in the Adirondacks.
He says heavily traveled corridors like state Routes 73 and 86 are stuck in disrepair because DOT is directed its limited funding toward bridges - which Hoffman says present a bigger safety concern than roadways.

Plans to bring sleek new apartments to West Hollywood, about two blocks south of Plummer Park, are moving forward, and we’re getting a glimpse of what the project will look like, thanks to a rendering from Culver City-based R&A Architecture + Design.
A contemporary take on the classic LA courtyard apartment complex, the new building will hold nearly a dozen “two- to three-story townhouses around a semi-private courtyard,” according to the architects.
The facade will mix stucco, wood, and glass, with some corner units wrapped in large windows.
R&A says it’s also incorporating eco-friendly, energy-saving design elements: concrete floors, energy-efficient glazing, and clerestory windows. Each unit will have its own rooftop garden.
Set to rise at 1016 North Martel Avenue, replacing six units of housing on the site now, the average size of the new apartments will be 1,585 square feet. Parking for 27 cars will be provided in an underground garage.
The West Hollywood Planning Commission approved the 11-unit building in December. The developer, Martel Heights, LLC, expects construction to start next spring.
Correction: Due to incorrect information from the architects, an earlier version of this post stated this project will begin construction this spring.

flexible dock shelter
Built with a strong folding galvanized steel construction, that can be retracted against the bulling in case of favourable weather conditions, the dock tunnel covers the external steel dock. It is implemented with a front retractable dock shelter, that blocks the bad weather conditions between VAN and building.
The dock tunnel allows to seal the rear part of the VAN, docked to an external steel dock.
The dock tunnel can be kept retracted against the building during the good weather conditions, and extended to cover the steel dock, and obtain a sealed tunnel between building and VAN when the bad weather conditions come. The dock tunnel is implemented with wheels for the easy operations.
On the front of the dock tunnel there is a retractable dock shelter that seals against the van, and retracts in case of out-of-centre dockings.
The front dock shelter has the rain water channel inside the roof, to convey laterally the rain water.
The construction of the dock tunnel makes it reliable and durable.
