Nominees LARGE PROJECT OF THE YEAR NOMINEE SR-45 SOUTHAM CANYON TO MP 14 BURDICK MATERIALS The main purpose of this rehabilitation project was to correct the hazards on the existing roadway caused by subgrade cracking and movement due to the high clay content underneath the roadway. This clay, over time, causes the road to heave and move, causing many surface deficiencies that must be corrected, mainly affecting the smoothness of the road surface. Profile Milling was identified by UDOT designers as a solution in the design process. Various depths of profile milling from 0.25” in some locations to 2” maximum depth removal of material in other more prominent rough areas were utilized and completed. The material removed from the existing surface of the roadway was conveyed and placed on the shoulders of the roadway utilizing existing materials to widen and stabilize the narrow shoulders of the roadway, providing UDOT with a road with more width, thus increasing the safety for the traveling public in the area. Once the profile milling was completed, warm mix SMA was placed in a single 1.5” lift utilizing automatic leveling controls on the paver to establish the final smooth and improved roadway surface. Notably, partnering between UDOT engineers and the Burdick Materials team allowed the project team to successfully complete the final paving with the warm mix SMA on this project meeting all UDOT paving requirements late in the construction season on Nov. 3, 2023. LARGE PROJECT OF THE YEAR NOMINEE PROVO AIRPORT: RECONSTRUCT TAXIWAY A NORTH, TAXIWAY A4 AND TAXIWAY A2 GENEVA ROCK PRODUCTS In collaboration with Woolpert and Provo City, Geneva Rock was tasked to remove and replace the previously existing Taxiway A, and then to construct two brand new taxiways that tie into the existing commercial runway. The project consisted of 38,600 CY of material excavation, 15,200 CY of imported materials placed at 100% compaction, and the placement of 35,662 tons of asphalt concrete. This project worked around active aircraft traffic. The schedule consisted of four phases and included a 14-day commercial runway shutdown where crews worked 24 hours a day to meet the project schedule. Each phase was designed to keep optimum aircraft taxiing to and from the runway as efficient as possible while still allowing as much work to be completed at a time as possible. The work on the runway shutdown was completed ahead of schedule and commercial airlines were able to resume their normal operations. This project came under budget, and more work was added to the contract with extra funds, allowing more scope and additional Provo Airport needs to be completed. 29
