Hey guys,
Made a trip to Cleveland yesterday and first checked out Beaver's SR 8 and 271 Project worth $91 million, mainly bridge work, wasn't able to get pics because we were on the go, quite a project though.
We then ventured down to Akron - Canton Airport to see Beaver finishing up a total of 3 Phases worth 2.5-3 million yards of dirt, $10 million project(s) I believe. They had a 385C L, 375 L, D8R, D8N, D8L, (4) 773F's, few D6's, and various support equipment there. I'm pretty sure there was some more iron I wasn't able to see. Phase 5 of the Airport just bid which is to include 2.1 million yards of dirt work. Independence Excavating was the low bidder at $8.2 million, but the airport rejected their bid because they didn't cover there DBE goal. The project now went to H.M. Miller with a bid of $8.4 million. Beaver came in 4th on the project because they figured on moving the dirt twice because it was so wet.
The next project was Beaver's Upground Reservoir Project in Marysville, Ohio, that project is worth $6,745,000. They are moving approximately 1.7 million yards of dirt there. On site they have (7) Tractor Pans, (6) 631's, (5) 773's, (3) D6's, EX 1200, PC 400, D9L Pushcat, (2) D9N, D9R, (2) 825's, 16G ans various support equipment. Unfortunately both projects we're rained out, but I will be going back eventually to get action shots.
Today dad and I discussed going down to Nelsonville, Ohio to check out Kokosing on the US 33 Project. They are moving 3.5 million yards down there, we spoke to the superintendent and the PC 2000 is there, so I'll have pics coming of that. I have a lot more pictures, so feel free to request more of certain pieces.
Enjoy!!
