Nighttime lane closures planned on I-65 between Edinburgh and Franklin JOHNSON/SHELBY COUNTY, Ind. — Indiana Department of Transportation contractor E&B Paving, Inc. plans to reduce southbound I-65 to one lane between Franklin (Exit 90) and Edinburgh (Exit 80) on or after Monday, July 8, to begin nighttime milling and paving operations in Johnson and Shelby Counties. Work will begin in the southbound driving lane at Exit 90 in Franklin and will continue south to Exit 80 near Edinburgh. After southbound driving lane work is complete crews will reduce northbound I-65 to one lane to begin nighttime work on the northbound I-65 driving lane. Following the completion of work on both the northbound and southbound driving lanes, crews will transition to begin work on the left lanes of I-65, beginning with southbound work and finishing with northbound work. The nighttime lane closures will take place from approximately 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. and are expected to take up to eight weeks altogether, weather permitting. This work is part of a $7.3 million contract awarded to E&B Paving in April 2024. INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution and avoid distractions when traveling near work zones. All work is weather-dependent and schedules are subject to change.

🚧 Stay Safe Around Road Paving Construction! 🚧 Road paving projects are essential for keeping our roads smooth and safe, but they also require extra caution from drivers and pedestrians. Here are some key safety tips to keep in mind when you encounter paving construction zones: 🐢 Slow Down: Reduce your speed when approaching and driving through construction zones. Speeding can lead to accidents and endanger both workers and other drivers. 🚦Follow Signs and Signals: Pay attention to all posted signs, signals, and flaggers. They are there to guide you safely through the construction area. ‼️ Stay Alert: Keep an eye out for workers, equipment, and any changes in the road surface. Distractions can be dangerous, so stay focused on the road. 📏 Maintain Safe Distance: Keep a safe distance between your vehicle and the construction equipment or workers. Avoid tailgating and give yourself enough time to react to any sudden changes. 🧘♂️ Be Patient: Construction zones can cause delays, but remember that these projects are temporary. Patience and caution help ensure everyone's safety. 🗺️ Use Alternate Routes: If possible, plan your route to avoid construction zones. This can save you time and reduce congestion around the work area. Wood Buffalo Paving is dedicated to improving our roads while prioritizing safety.

One of the biggest fallacies in the parking lot maintenance industry is working in volume by offering a discount to a potential client of 20% to as much as I’ve seen 50% before for volume of work for multi sites in multi states. A Naïve contractor, that’s unseasoned believes that by doing this, they will be able to achieve some type of economies by scale The only time you’re able to achieve an economy by scale is if a potential client was to say to you I am going to give you 50 parking lots to seal coat and these 50 parking lots are right next-door to each other, they can all be done on the same day and there will be no interruption, just go from job to job. Otherwise, you’re simply just performing 50 projects 50 days apart from each other, while extending a huge discount for the pleasure of taking on that work. Not to mention when you’re traveling large distances you have a huge mobilization cost whereas if you were just working for local clients within an hour of your base of operation. If you have a marketing and sales system in place and potential clients see you as a contractor that is more valuable than others because you provide service to them that is superior to others you would be better off to do 50 different projects at your original margin for 20-50 different clients then to take on 50 projects for one client at a discount. I network with contractors all over the United States, and I could tell you one conversation that always is the same, and that is when they voice to me about how they rolled the dice to take on a multi site or multi state contract, offered a discounted price to win the work only to wind up, losing money, or barely making a profit when the contract was completed at the end of the season Buying bagged concrete by multiple truckloads is one way you’re able to buy in bulk and save. Self performed parking lot services being sold at a discount to a client will never make a contractor a profit.

NEWS TO KNOW ABOUT ROAD WORK IN THE CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE: -------------------------------------------------------- *East Coast Grading is scheduled to start milling Mt Zion PKWY the week of March 25, 2024, weather permitting, in preparation for the road resurfacing. East Coast Grading’s work schedule will be Monday – Friday, 7:00 A.M. – 7:00 P.M. There may also be some Saturday work as well. East Coast Grading’s goal is to complete the resurfacing of Mt Zion PKWY in 4 weeks. *During the resurfacing project, streets may be closed for a short duration during the day while under construction, but they will be opened by the end of each working day. Expect construction noise, lane closures, and delays. Motorists are advised to use caution and watch for flaggers directing traffic through the work zone. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this process as there may be some delays and inconveniences. Please travel with caution to protect yourself, your vehicle, and our workers. During the road resurfacing process, there will be manholes, water valves, and inlets that will be exposed and marked with cones and/or bright neon paint. Please use caution until the final asphalt has been placed. ---The road resurfacing process will include: *Milling, power brooming and cleaning of the road surface. *Spraying of a tack coat onto the road surface followed by the application of asphalt. The tack coat material can be very slippery to drive on and it may splash onto your vehicle and even track into your driveway. All efforts will be made to minimize this situation while at the same time maintaining traffic flow during this project. *During the construction process, if a member of our crew asks you to wait prior to driving on the roadway, it is in your best interest to follow our instructions to avoid damages to your vehicle or the new asphalt.

While it may be more cost-effective to rebuild an asphalt parking lot than a concrete one, it's preferable to defer this expense for as long as possible. To avoid unpleasant surprises, it's crucial to remain vigilant about parking lot repairs and maintenance. You may believe that forecasting the exact amount you should budget for these services is impossible. However, budgeting for parking lot repairs is easier than you think. https://lnkd.in/ePn7CQDi

Effects of Flashing Blue Lights Mounted on Paving Equipment on Vehicle Speed Behavior in Work Zones #transportation #construction #roadconstruction #highwayconstruction #lawenforcement #workzone #constructionequipment Vehicle speed in work zones is a significant concern to state transportation agencies and their construction partners. Prior research indicates that law enforcement vehicles within a work zone with active flashing lights result in reduced vehicle speeds. Placement of flashing blue lights on construction equipment during nighttime construction work has also been identified as a potential control measure to reduce speeds. https://lnkd.in/g5ReEgwX

Knowing when it's time to part ways with a client 👇 Over the last 20 years, I have had to respectfully part ways with clients for various reasons. Most contractors will not openly discuss this, but I have no issue with giving insight into why this occurs. I have a client I have worked with for the last 4 years; he is a great guy but, at the same time, a little challenging to deal with on occasion (even though I bend over backward for him) as he is very demanding but over the last 4 years we have not been able to get aligned. It was a client I acquired at the start of COVID-19, while at that time, I was not taking on new clients, not knowing what the future held with the pandemic I took on his account. ⚠️ Here is where I screwed up: when I interviewed him as a potential client, he didn't check all the boxes ✅ With that being said, and not knowing the future, I rolled the dice. What is the exact issue? Aside from being very demanding, he awarded his work strictly on price unless he knew the other contractor couldn't perform or didn't have the expertise. That said, most of the work we do for him is emergency work or work that the other asphalt company lacks the ability to execute. To me, it's too much stress because we are constantly working on jobs where we are potentially being set up to fail. We never have the opportunity to knock it out of the park on a easy job! We are always swimming against the tide. Last week, he contacted us about an urgent project that the other contractor attempted to correct and failed miserably. The owner would be in town at the end of the week, and he needed the job fixed immediately! The other company is not "tightly held," and he knew the only way the job would get fixed was by us. I had to spend an entire day in the field (when I had almost 75 jobs to scope) to ensure this project turned out perfect, as it was not a project I could have given a written scope of work on. We were fixing it 1 foot at a time. It turned out perfect; the client was happy, and the owner had no idea anything was ever wrong with the job the other contractor completed. He called me this morning (Sunday) to let me know he had another emergency job this week. In the interim, I asked him about 2 open paving proposals we had, and he told me, based on price, he had awarded them to the other company. At that time, I let him know we had appreciated his business for the last four years but were going to be "respectfully" declining any further quote requests or work orders. To some business owners, this may seem crazy, but to me, it's about the LTV of the relationship. Even though he is paying a premium for the emergency work because we are not doing all his work, he is paying Tier 3 pricing. My time is better spent dedicating my resources to cultivating a relationship with a client who works with us on a negotiated pricing relationship vs. a low price-driven relationship. Please let me know your thoughts!

Yesterday's Amtrak shutdown, prompted by the discovery of cracked steel beams at a Manhattan parking garage above its tracks, serves as a stark reminder of the critical importance of parking structure inspection laws, and why the city has required the inspection of all garages in the city by next August. RAND Structural Engineer and Qualified Parking Structure Inspector Jason Damiano, PE spoke with Gothamist and WNYC, emphasizing, "Clear structural problems in a parking garage can have devastating consequences for an entire building because slabs – the concrete floors cars park on – often brace the columns that support the structure above. If slabs are no longer able to handle these loads, a localized issue is not necessarily just a localized issue. That’s a worst-case scenario. Every garage, in theory, is supposed to have eyes on it by August so hopefully this potential for collapse is averted."
