House Democrats expect to write bills later this year setting up a national bank to support business modernization and development and creating an Economic Cooperation Council (EGG) aimed at stimulating revival of'ailing industries. One proposal already introduced would establish a development bank and allocate $12 billion over four years to begin needed industrial development. A subcommittee of the House Banking Committee will start a series of hearings June 9 focusing not only on the proposed F.CG and industrial bank but also on the Reagan administration's proposal to set up urban enterprise zones to stimulate business development. Senate Democrats, under the direction of a task force headed by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), are expected to-report later this summer on their proposal to create a national development bank. And a group of 150 liberal House Democrats, led by Rep. Richard L. Ottinger (l)-N.Y.) have proposed their own version of a "high-production" industrial strategy. The Ottinger-led group would force a reduction of interest rates by. the Federal Reserve, create a federal capital budget with sufficient funds to begin massive infrastructure development and create both a national finance bank and an EGO. Outlook fades for user fees to frnancoportdeepening . : I ' .' ' ' Senate and House committees continue to go through the rr ons of seeking a funding mechanism for deepening the nation's major coalt ports for super c. o_ nlliers. But even irifr t.hi ey se..t.til_e .o. 'n. ile__gis_il_ation, it .tril!l lha-ve flitttle .cha__n__c__e____o___f__p__a__s__s__a_g_e. The major stumbling block appears to be that the ports oppose user fees to pay for channel dredging. Contrary to the wishes of the administration, particularly the Office of Management, and Budget, industry groups such as the Philadelphia Port Corp. and the Georgia Port Authority maintain that the federal-government should continue to pay all channel operating and maintenance costs. Also contributing to the negative outlook is the recent testimony by Erich Evered, Department of Energy assistant secretary for the Energy Information Administration. Deepening port channels to 55 ft is not necessary at this time and won't increase coal .exports to Europe, he says. Consequendy, coal-industry representatives and officials of three key federal agencies have abandoned hope of seeing legislation passed this year. Next year may not be any better. Since it will be an election year,' odds are that port officials will choose to wait the year out in hopes of striking a better bargain with a new administration. , Nuke*licensing:reform unlikely this year Time appears to be running out in this congressional session for any substantive action on reforming the licensing of nuclear powerplants. However, the increas-. ,ing support for proposed reform legislation, backed by both the Department of Energy and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, could lead to action next year. The Senate Environment Committee's nuclear-regulation subcommittee fi nally held long-promised hearings on the proposed legislation May 25. One key portion of both of the bills pending would implement use of standardized designs and is strongly advocated by NRC Chairman Nunzio J. Palladino. "From a safety standpoint, repeated use of standard designs could materially improve construction practices and quality assurance," he told the panel. Palladino notes that the licensing process has not changed in the past 29 years. With the maturing pf the industry, it is- riow possible to evaluate standard ized plant designs, essentially to complete designs prior to plant construction, and to evaluate proposed plant sites without plant design details, Palladino says. He also reiterated his earlier support of simplified licensing and hearing procedures. . '.

Formula for success, Industry groups--from die Assneialed (ieneral C.ontrnrtors In the American Road and Transportation Builders Association-- have shown they can lohhv nidi the host ol them. They hlitz legislators with vis its. phone calls and telegrams; package slick educational materials that help stale their case; combine forces with la bor and oilier interests: and target polit ical contributions to .supporters engaged in close election contests. It was just such a combination--with strong leader ship from lornior Transportation Secre tary Drew Lewis--that persuaded a reluctant 1'resideni.

And in Georgia, highwav contractors are so spooked by what one called the "rail ing and pillaging" of the state's coni inning bid-rig ging investigation that they are doing very little--if any--lobbying.

But at other limes--particu lar!v during the monsoon from November to February-- borrow areas and the compacted core material already placed are protected with plastic sheeting during the daily showers. Bad spillway rock. The most troublesome pan of the proj ect has been the side-channel spillway, an open cut on the right abutment, 165 ft wide and about 2.500 ft long, which, has affected progress on the powerhouse next to it and below the dam. SMEC's design counted on being able to blast down in benches'and leave a rock wall for the entire length of the channel. But poor granite prevented this. Hyundai had trou ble making the cuts on the abutment and also in retaining enough monolithic rock to form (lie opposite wall. Extensive rock bolting and anchoring were required. And a portion of the jointed granite near the powerhouse was removed and replaced with a reinforced concrete wall, 16 to 30 ft high. The difficulty with the ungated spillway, 460 ft wide at the crest and having a design discharge of 247.000 cfs, is contrib uting to the delay in completion of the powerhouse. Excava tions for both are completed now and work is progressing on the powerhouse, inlet structure and steel-iined penstocks. The four 14-fi-dia pressure tunnels are being concreted and plates are being welaed into place now. Below the left bank, work is under way on an island that will support a gas-insulated substation. Eight earthfill saddle dams, being built by Japan Development and Construction Go. Ltd., Tokyo, are dut to be completed by the end of 1983. By that time, the main dam is scheduled to reach its full height and four turbine-generator sets installed in the power house. Then, it will only remain to see how the monsoon behaves, and whether the delays really matter.

But rehabilitation advances an average of. 15 miles a sear. Until funding is forthcoming. Albee savs (lie city will have to continue with remedial asphalt overlays, which he calls "Band-, aids." Some have held up well, reports , Albee. "but it's like a paint job without scraping first.'' Carl F. Stewart, an applied research t-n- . gincer for California's transportation de partment' (Cailrans). says it has also performed quick-fix type- repairs on bridge decks because of the large costs of complete- replacement. "We evaluated the overall long-term cost and tried to pick the scenario that promised the best return." he says. Frequently, that was the Band-aid type repair." Gordon K. Ray. director of the public works division of the Portland Cement Association. Skokie, III., points out that a lot of the transportation infrastructure has reached its design life. And roads, for example, have carried greater traffic volumes and heavier loads than they were first expected to handle. However, he says. "We sec the slates as not really being realistic about (fie performance of (heir pavements. Most do not realistically evaluate their life-cycle costs. They look at first costs instead. A lot of slates assumed their highways were going to last forever. And-many were so bust building high ways they didn't develop a maintenance program." Decision-making. With the need for infrastructure projects , so frequently outpacing available funds, choices must be made as to which jobs get priority. I.os Angeles County has a 1 wo-pronged method lor determining where and in what order ns roads will he repaired, A supervisor drives over his territory each month and makes a visual inspection. Also, a road-rating program carried out by machine inspection deter mines the condition of the pavement.

Al'U'A will make Paver available m October to any consultant or community dial wants to use it on a fee or shared-cost basis; says Christine M.'Johnson, research . director. . Robert Pecker, director'of'Noiv Orleans' planning rommis- ,sion, says the commission receives up to 400 requests yearly for.infrastructure funds--a number it can't possibly acconuno- date. To deal with the demand, commission officials working with consultants from Peal, Marwick Mitchell it Co.. Austin, 'Tex., developed a system for establishing priorities for the . city's projects. Using a series qfj 17 criteria with various weights assigned to each, the "new jmairix," as Becker calls it, helps sort out the complexities of dealing with 40(Tpotential projects. The system is operated jmanually but software is being developed to perform the taliks on a micro-computer. The City of l.os Angeles is also scheduled to convert to a system soon in which all maintenance information will be siored in a computer, The compuder will then develop pro- 'grains that provide location, cost an'd type of work needed for each street in die city. Recycling. Raymond A. Forsyth, acting chief of Caltrans' .transportation laboratory in Sacramento, says that California, valong with other stales, is .increasingly using hot and cold-mix recycled asphalt. He points out that it nor only conserves resources but it becomes increasingly cost effective as con tractors become belter equipped to handle it. "Within the - next 10 vears, reevding of asphalt concrete will become the role rather than the exception," he predicts. Recycling concrete pavement and using the material in new mixes provides anolherj effective weapon in the infrastructure battle. Oik; such recycling job oil record-proportions took place on Chicago's Ldcn LxpressWay. There, a contractor- combine, led by the Springfield, Ili., office, of S.J.

In the past a concrete pavement overlayed with asphalt would ultimately result in faults in the original pavement shov ing thorough, most notably at the joints, according to a j. spokesman for the National Asphalt Pavement Association r , (NAPA), Riverdale, Md: But a new technique of cracking and I''seating is expected to eliminate that problem. It involves l&breacirig the concrete pavement slab into predetermined stzec chunks, compacting them and then overlaying convensF, lion; lly with asphalt. There is no need to remove the original Inroad way and rebuild the entire structure, fey. According to Charles Miller, West Virginia's highway com- |.-missoner, the method will be used on its Interstate system. i;He says it's a way to stretch the maintenance dollar. California flvalso uses the method, doing the work at night and usually !'- com jleung it before the morning rush hour. Other states 1 using the method include Kentucky, Minnesota and Michigan. ||y Georgia's Department of Transportation has been in the Association, Oak Brook, III. General Electric Engineered Ma terials Group, Columbus, Ohio, hosted the event. Federal' Highway Administration officials also participated. Detecting. The Carnegie-Mcllon University researchers tire also working on a project to improve detection of bridge deterioration. By using a system of sensors and motion-induc ing devices placed at various points on a bridge they are able to measure vibration levels and pinpoint problem areas. The technique has proved especially effective in monitoring Pitts burgh's older steel bridges, according to Sangrcv. . 'Ihose bridges and others in Pittsburgh will be the local point 'of infrastructure repairs (or the rest of the 1080s, says Gerald Johnson, district bridge engineer for the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Pemino r). Work on the crossings received a big boost with the pas sage by the state of a $ 1.4-billion bridge bill late last year. The bill, ihc first bridges-only legislation in the nation, pro vides money for repair of 125 bridges in the greater Pitts burgh area plus other bridges throughout Pennsylvania. Precast replacement members lowered into place speed rebuilding. forefront in helping to develop a concrete pavement restora tion (cpr) system aimed at extending existing concrete life without an overlay. The system features grinding the con crete's surface with manufactured diamonds. The grinding that levels the concrete is part of a sequence that may include other steps: slab stabilization; slab replacement where neces sary; spall repair; shoulder restoration where necessary'; and resawing and reseaiing joints. Last month in a demonstration, the CPR system leveled a 1,500-fl section of Mount Vernon Memorial Parkway in Alex andria, Va. The highway is scheduled for full repair in the fall; The showing was part of a CPR seminar sponsored by the National Park Service and the American Concrete Paving Construction techniques to be used on the bridges include epoxy-coated reinforcement steel to prevent rust. PennllOT will also be experimenting with precast deck sections on some of its bridges. "We will also be trying some precast, positensioned segments for longcr-span bridges,'' says Johnson. "And we'll be using new kinds of paint--vinyl and. epoxy blends that have a long life and greater durability.'' Precast and prefabricated deck panels are proving an clleclive way to replace bridge decks. Currently, the 5.905-li Woodrow Wilson Memorial Bridge over the Potomac River between Maryland and Virginia is being rebuilt with precast 12 x 42-fi panels.Jn California, San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge is going id be redecked with prefabricated orlhotropic steel sections. The new deck members will replace BOO exist ing 15 x 50-ft slabs. 'With an increasing part of infrastructure work being done on in-service structures emphasis is on methods that speed repairs while minimizing disruptions to traffic. West Virginia's highway commissioner, Harold C. King, poinyf out that pre cast concrete patches that can he set in pla^e provide one such method. Also night operations arc proving effective. Sigmund Ziejewski, Illinois Department of Transportation district engineer, is in charge of state-maintained highways in a six-county area. To achieve productivity with a severely reduced maintenance force that has declined from 2,450 to 1;650 members, he also uses night shifts on road repair proj- ENR/June 2, 1983 27 GUARANTEE^YOUR SUCCESS STRATEGY FOR 1983 WITH... international major project 'toEEk-WHBPGKfS Discover business opportunities and cur rent planning activity for major foreign projects in thbse pages of actionable, verified leads to specific markets.

I'ORt l \T.. loo. keeps adding lists, (is current issue has a new one in which its editions lose touch with reality. They put construction's leading public companies in a list of 'diversified service companies" that mixes hotels, milk pro ducers. etc. The ranking- is ridiculous. It .might he nice lot l)ave. I'crini to see that Ijis companv is almost as big ns Wall Disney Hnicrprises and Jim McMui - ron;io see M-k ranked almost as high its Associated Milk pisuibuiors. Inn such applcs-and-ontngcs listing does little to deline a given industrial segment. Including construction companies among "diversified ser vice companies'- makes no sense, (or die simple reason that .construction companies are not service companies. Thev produce a product--a home, a road, a dam. a bridge or a. city: Construction is a productive industry just as are manu facturing. mining, agriculture and power generation. Utilities, transportation, retailing, banking and insurance are properly listed as service industries. So. loo. are broad casting and hotels. But the basic interest of thcTcrinis and the-M-Ks is construction. Thev build things. \ ... and while we're defining As the American Institute of Architects (AIA) launches a look at the economics and compensation of its profession (see p. 12). it must recognize that there arc architects and architects. .. About 13% of the linns represented by AIA are sole proprietorships, the very smallest of businesses. And 02% employ live or fewer professionals, still sen- small. The 80 20 law may well prevail: 80% of the business done bv 20% of the linns. 1 he 80% of the linns that are very small are one prob lem--some struggling for a living, others perhaps dropping (nit. file relatively few that do most ol the work are another problem. They hare payrolls to meet, months to feed. The large firms are among the architectural and A-E linns of the Top 500 design firms (ENR 5/26 .p.34). On dial list the A-l'.s (lo 17% and the architects do 7% of the hillings of the 500 listed. larger portions are done by consulting engineers and those calling themselves engineer- .architects. The architects report the largest billings per stall .member, ...blit they pass through 24% of their "billings to engineers tor other design or service .firms.: . fluctuations in .construction's economy :ntove; the very small architectural practices m and out ol business and cause hiring and firing in the larger firms: AIA needs to gtvcaUcnlion also to the' Hood ofgraduates: -the architecturalschools are putting out to.be absorbed into the:job:markct;a the low entry-level salaries, paid: the. "somebody-wtll-alu a) sdo-it-cheaper" problem, with lees charged; the Ices available:, lor pass-through to engineers and other professionals. ; In sunt, as they were told at last week's AIA convention. architects need to sutdv their profession in relation to the construction industry, with a concern for defining their true value and establishing'it in the minds of their clients. The value of good design transcends, the cost of a service and impacts the worth of a project. As AIA studies architects large and small--their relationship Vo construction, their, lees and their compensation--it should aim to define the profession as worth more than it is now commanding. A tough test of trust The next year should'reveal a considerable amount about . the level of importance that the indusin .s open-shop sector, places on its role in training workers lo be skilled craftsmen. And that answer, more than anything else, will determine whether nonunion construction's growth is to continue. Training by nonunion employers has come a long w^iy in the past few years...Curricula have been improved, jprogram guidelines have been established and care -has been oxerciscd to improve the quality of instruction. Still, the battle is far from won. Only arelalively small proportion of cmplovers shoulder a .share of the responsibility lor training. And contractor associations are (ailing to get the most on/ of their limited money because coordination of ellwA is minimal. The Associated Builders and Contractors has approved the establishment of a trust that could become the primary vehicle to expand the amount of funding available for thist. critical function. A central collection mechanism that is widely accepted and used would solve numerous problems. But before contractors and construction users agree to funnel contributions through the trust, a great many ques tions will have to he answered. Among these are what standards training programs will have to meet before thev become eligible to receive contributions, whether the mist will finance development of curricula for multiple programs covering lire same, crafts, and how contributions will be channeled. into local programs. For example, will mono return lo the area where it is generated or will'it billow a contributing employer who performs one job in an area and then moves on? These and other questions will be asked of AIK:. But the industiy as a whole must produce acceptable answers with out becoming bogged down over pride of authorship-- regarding either existing training programs or the trust ; fund concept. If ever there has been an industry issue allowing no excuse for senseless infighting, this is it. 56 ENR/June 2, 1983 VOL WK 226-St Maximum capacity -- 26.500 lb.
