Jackson Construction & Engineering, Inc., Valley Land Surveying, Geneva Rock Products, Inc Tons of asphalt placed: 46,687 Project overview: On one of the most dangerous and busiest highways in the State of Utah, Staker Parson Materials and Construction was able to safely mill and overlay a stretch of US-6 during the night hours fromMay to September 2020. Working within a 9-hour nightly mill and overlay shift, our traffic control, trucking, asphalt plant and construction crews were successfully able to rotomill 4 inches of exist- ing asphalt and pave back 2.5 inches of HMA. Upon completion of the HMA phase of 28,134 tons, we paved back 18,553 tons of Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) on 17 lane miles, with only two bumps to grind. What makes the project unique? With this job being a maintenance re-surfacing project, the goal was to deliver a quality long-lasting project. The completed wearing courses of SMA, Chip Seal, and Micro-surface do just that. On top of that, the completed longitudinal rumble strips provide the safety component for motorists to help eliminate accidents along this highway. By working during night hours, we drastically reduced traffic delays for passing motorists. Our traffic control signage and traffic control plan resulted in safe passage for motorists and construction personnel. Safety: We did not have any injuries or lost time accidents on the project. All person- nel must also watch a safety video three times per week on their phone or tablet, and answer questions about the con- tents of the video. All 2020 new hires also complete a documented weekly coaching action plan for the first 12 weeks of employment, which requires semi-weekly safety discussions with their supervisor. We also had nightly safety toolbox talks with the crewmembers about keeping their eye on traffic. We built most of the job with a one-way flagging operation. By keeping safety job priority one, we were able to build the project without incident, ensuring all employees went home safe after every shift. 3
