BATCHELLERVILLE BRIDGE PROJECT
September 26th, 2011HARRISON BURROWES, BATCHELLERVILLE BRIDGE PROJECT, SARATOGA COUNTY, EDINBURG, NY
The Batchellerville Bridge, part of County Road 98 intersects the Great Sacandaga Lake. CR 98 intersects with CR 7 & CR 12 on the east side of the lake. The existing bridge was constructing in 1927 and the deck and railing of was replaced in 1982. The steel structure of the old bridge has corroded and weakened over time. Bridge traffic has been reduced to a single lane, alternating the east / west bound traffic to limit the amount of load on the bridge.
The Great Sacandaga Lake is located on the southern tip of the Adirondack Park part of the Adirondack Preserve. This area was home to the Mohawk Indians. Edinburg is 53 miles north of Albany, NY. In 1930 The Great Sacandaga Lake was created when the Conklingville Dam was constructed, filling the valley with 283 billion gallons of water, creating 125 miles of shoreline. The Conklingville Dam limits the flow of water into the Hudson & Sacandaga River, reducing the regular seasonal floods of the region. Today this region is a popular destination for water sports including fishing, boating and water skiing. In addition there are horseback, biking and walking trails along with camping, skiing and snow mobiling.
Harrison Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc was awarded the project to build a new bridge just south of the existing bridge. Traffic will be maintained on the old bridge during construction. Improvements will be made to the roads intersecting with CR 98 on either side of the bridge to improve traffic flow and safety.
Harrison Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc was founded by Wally & Jeff DiStefano in 1980. “It was our father who first showed us the ropes in owning a construction business.” http://harrisonburrowes.com/about/ Harrison Burrowes grew their business by going after the challenging projects that others did not want to tackle. More information about Harrison Burrowes can be found on their web site at http://harrisonburrowes.com/
Greg Ball, Project Manager of Harrison Burrowes contacted Poseidon Barge Corporation to provide Poseidon One Sectional Barges to float their cranes and other miscellaneous equipment during the construction process. Poseidon ‘s engineering department provided Barge Stability Analysis to Harrison Burrowes, helping them to determine the number of sections they would need to float their equipment. Work began on the bridge in August of 2011 and is scheduled to be completed by November of 2013.

Poseidon II Barges on the Job in Burlington, VT
August 22nd, 2010FLATIRON SECURES $70M CONTRACT TO CONSTRUCT NEW LAKE CHAMPLAIN BRIDGE PROJECT
FLAT IRON USES POSEIDON II BARGES ON THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN PROJECT.
(Longmont, Colo.) June 8, 2010 – Flatiron, one of the nation’s largest transportation and infrastructure contractors, was awarded a $69.6 million contract by the New York State Department of Transportation to construct a bridge that will connect Crown Point, N.Y., and Chimney Point, Vt. Flatiron was the low bidder of eight contractors vying for the contract. The project is the company’s first in New York.
The original 80-year-old bridge was demolished in December because inspections deemed it unsafe. The new bridge, spanning 2,200 feet over a narrow stretch of southern Lake Champlain, will be constructed with conventional steel girder approaches and a modified network tied-arch main span. The main span will be assembled on land and then floated and hoisted into position.
Flatiron is using the Poseidon II 40′ x 10′ x 7′ & 20′ x 10′ x 7′ barges on this project. You can view more pictures from the project by going to the Poseidon II Job Site Gallery.
Construction has begun with completion slated for the fall of 2011. Eighty percent of the project’s total cost is being funded by the federal government. The balance of funding will be split evenly by Vermont and New York state governments.
“We are excited to have this opportunity to work in New York and look forward to more opportunities in the area,” said Tom Rademacher, Flatiron CEO. “We anticipate a successful partnership with NYSDOT.”
Flatiron, with a construction volume of $1.04 billion in 2009, is one of the leading providers of transportation construction and civil engineering in North America. Its core competencies include major bridge, highway and rail projects. Flatiron also operates as a contractor in public-private partnership projects. Founded in 1947, the firm is a subsidiary of HOCHTIEF, one of the world’s leading international construction service providers
