Infrastructure, Substation Part of University’s Planural land, is a public space-grantresearch facility.The U hosted the Olympic

Village during the 2002 WinterOlympics. Preparations for thatevent, including extensive renova-tions to the stadium, constitutedone of its three peak constructionperiods. The school also added alight rail track connecting the cam-pus to downtown Salt Lake City, anew student center, a 180-roomhotel and conference center andnew student housing. But, said Ghorbani, some build-

ings have exceeded their lifeexpectancy and the entire campuswas in need of a sizable upgrade toelectrical infrastructure and substa-tions. “The need was apparent for

years,” she recalled. “We startedtalking about it in 2009 and beganworking on it in January 2013.” Completion is expected later in

2016.

U Is for UpgradesThree existing substations will

be upgraded due to concerns abouttheir age and compatibility with arisk management plan, lack ofexpansion room, security issues,their ability to meet standards ofaccess and accommodate emer-gency equipment and lack ofredundancy. Once the work is completed, the

campus will have new structures,circuit breakers and switch gear inexpanded substations that offerimproved safety and securitymeasures and better access with

the ability to accommodate emer-gency equipment.These improvements also add

redundancy. “If there’s an outage in one of

the three substations now,”Ghorbani explained, “the other twocan power the campus.” Two substations also can run

the university during maintenanceof the third. This redundancy addsmuch-needed reliability.General contractor Layton

Construction also upgraded aseries of transformers, replacing

two with new energy-efficienttransformers. The existing centerfor them is underground and out-dated, Ghorbani pointed out,where they’re often found in sew-ers and water. “They will be moved to above-

ground enclosures. It’s safer,” shesaid.That requires extensive trench-

ing with heavy machinery.Fortunately, Ghorbani said, thetrenches aren’t “too deep” and lastwinter was mild, so the workerswere able to carry on most of thewinter, keeping the project onschedule. “The most difficult part was

going under the road by the stadi-um because it carries the train andcars,” she said.Trenching under the electric

train line with large-bore equip-ment also was necessary for anoth-er phase of the project: high-tem-perature water upgrades. The out-dated steam heating system isbeing converted to an efficienthigh-temperature water system toheat the buildings instead of usingboilers. Leaky pipes are beingreplaced with 6,000 ft. (1,829 m)of Thermacor Duo-Therm 505process piping that require morethan 500 pipe welds, which mustpass X-Ray testing for high-temp

and pressure systems. The new equipment will convert

high-temperature water to steamand heating water in U-stampedvessels at seven locations on cam-pus.One of the challenges of all the

trenching is the soil type. “We have a problem with rocks

because we’re in the foothills ofthe Wasatch Mountains,”Ghorbani said. The university is located on the

east bench of the Salt Lake Valleynear the Wasatch range, just about2 mi. (3.22 km) east of downtownSalt Lake City. Rocky soil hasmade boring difficult. In fact, therocks in the soil near the stadiumprohibited the use of a mechanicalborer on two bores, forcing crews

to hand-dig them.Despite the rocks, no blasting

was necessary. In all, between45,000 and 50,000 LF (13,716 and15,249 LM) of trenching was com-pleted on the job. Most soil wasreplaced in its original location ormoved to another onsite location.In addition to the boring

machine, crews used a backhoe,wire truck/puller, digger derrickand 10K forklift to complete thework. Mobile cranes were used asneeded to place larger equipmentand manholes.The electrician has five crews of

five to seven on site daily; theexcavator usually has a five-to-six-man team working as needed.

The Critical Infrastructure Project is a crucial update to providemodern, safe, and reliable electrical service to campus buildings.

Bones Found During University of Utah ConstructionSALT LAKE CITY (AP) Anthropologists are investigating bones

unearthed during construction at the University of Utah.Construction crews stumbled upon the bones while working on a

major renovation of the Salt Lake City school’s original library. Thebones are believed to be human, but university spokeswoman MariaO’Mara says university police quickly determined that it wasn’t anactive crime scene but some sort of historic or prehistoric site.The building where the bones were discovered was constructed in

1936. State forensic anthropologists are determining how long theskeletons have been there and if there are more in the area.Although groundwork has stalled, work will continue inside the struc-

ture. The building will become the University of Utah’s new College ofScience in fall 2017.(This story also can be found on Construction Equipment

Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

In order to ensure ongoing service, after upgrading the substa-tions, the University took over responsibility for them fromRocky Mountain Power, which had owned and maintainedsome of them.

Lindsey Eyes Aggressive Growth for Equipment Sales Inc.

Tripling the sales of a 40-year-old equipment dealership in just 10years is no easy task, but that’sexactly what the CEO of one SaltLake City, Utah, dealership has setout to do.Founded by Bill Lindsey in

1969, Equipment Sales Inc. hasseen steady growth over fourdecades. Now Austin Lindsey,who became CEO of the family-owned business last year, has thecompany focused on increasingsales three-fold in the decade tocome.The company’s beginnings were

typically humble. Austin’s fatherhad his start in the transportationbusiness, originally as an over-the-

road trucker. In time, that lead himto buying and selling trucks for hisown use and in 1969 he formedEquipment Sales Inc. to facilitatethat activity. He incorporatedEquipment Sales in 1974.As Bill’s reputation grew in the

Salt Lake area, banks began callingon him to sell their repossessedequipment, and that eventuallyincluded heavy equipment takenback from contractors. He quicklysaw the profit potential in buyingand selling yellow iron, and beganfocusing his attention on that seg-ment of his business.Over the next 20 years,

Equipment Sales Inc. grew to bethe largest, independent used

equipment dealer in the state ofUtah, according to Austin. Hecredits his father for the steadygrowth. “It wasn’t unusual for him to

work 70 hours and more a weekduring the start-up years,” he said.Since 1989 the company has

occupied a high-profile locationalong Interstate 15 just south of thecity. Most of their inventory is vis-ible to passersby. In 1997 they took on the Eager

Beaver trailer line, and addedCircle R side dump trailers in2007. Circle R specializes in sidedumps, which Lindsey said havecome to dominate the dump mar-ket in Utah.

Equipment Sales Inc. is amongthe top 10 dealers nationally forboth lines.Its current product line includes

all brands of excavators, dozers,graders, backhoes, wheel loaders,cranes, trucks and trailers.In addition to Bill and Austin,

management positions are alsooccupied by sister, Lisa, who hasheld the CFO position for almost30 years, and brother Conley, whoheads up fleet operations.While they have grown through

the years operating primarily withfamily members in key positions,that is beginning to change as evi-denced by the recent hire of MikeMondale to head up outside sales.

Mondale brings more than 20years of sales experience with thelikes of Cat, Komatsu and JohnDeere.It’s all part of the master plan.

“We’d like to triple our sales in thenext decade”, reiterated Austin.“There is no doubt we will contin-ue to advance our position in themarket.”For more information, call

Upgrades Necessary Before Construction Projects BeginBump

“This project has two aspects: electrical and high-temperature water,” Ghorbani stated. As part of the electrical distribution upgrades and

voltage conversion, workers replaced 121 old switcheswith new pad-mount switches, and 31 old transformerswith new ones. They installed 21 new 600V switchgear, more than 10 mi. (16 km) of electrical ductbank,134 mi. (216 km) of electrical cable, 3,560 splices andterminations and 43 new electrical manhole vaults.The stadium substation will be converted from 46kV

to 138kV and several buildings will be converted to12,470 volt service. Ghorbani explains that “manybuildings have a variety of systems, but we’re convert-ing all of them to 12,470 volt service.”To do so, they had to be taken offline temporarily.

The project required several scheduled power bumps(short duration) and outages, most of which rangedbetween 4 and 12 hours. “It affected large areas of campus,” she said. “Some

areas had power outages for six hours; the longest out-age was 12 hours. Most were night, on weekends orduring school breaks, but we made sure there were noovernight power outages for student housing.”The project team has been working with facility

coordinators and building occupants to make sure keysystems are on back-up power and that preparations arein place for planned outages. “The challenge is working with researchers and 24-

hour buildings,” Ghorbani said. “We are in direct com-munication with the buildings to find an agreement ontimes that still meet the needs of the building occupants.Core functions are maintained with back-up genera-tors.”The redundancy of back-up generators and the

upgraded power supply are important because the on-campus hospital and research center require a stablepower source. “A bump in power is detrimental,”Ghorbani stated. “The old system was outdated. Thisproject will allow us to provide seamless and reliablepower to the campus, significantly reducing unplannedpower outages, and ensure the safety of the system.”In order to ensure ongoing service, after upgrading

the substations, the University took over responsibilityfor them from Rocky Mountain Power, which hadowned and maintained some of them.

Power to the FutureThe infrastructure project is in its last phase, with

“micro crews,” as Ghorbani calls them, working on dif-ferent aspects and finishing touches. Knowing how fasttechnology changes, local architectural firm SpectrumEngineering planned for future growth in order to keepthe work being done now from soon becoming obso-lete. They used a campus master plan for projectedneeds.

Feds Eye 4,000-Well DrillingProject Across Uinta BasinSALT LAKE CITY (AP) Federal land

managers are eying a major oil and gasdrilling project that would cross the heart ofthe Uinta Basin, covering three unincorpo-rated towns and several rivers and reservoirs.The Bureau of Land Management

announced that Canadian firm CrescentPoint Energy is seeking approvals for about4,000 wells on a 35-mi. (56.3 km)-longswath running east from Myton to beyondthe Green River.Despite oil prices, Crescent Point is mov-

ing forward with the project, which LisaBryant, BLM spokeswoman in the agency’sGreen River and Canyon Country Districts,said is good for business and communities.“While prices of [oil] are low, construc-

tion costs are also low,” Bryant said. “Thereare a lot of folks out of work, and by gettingthis started now, it could provide some stim-ulus to the local economy.”BLM project manager Stephanie Howard

said the project would see the construction ofhundreds of miles of roads and pipelinesacross federal, tribal, state and private lands.It also would have salt-water disposal wells,

facilities to treat waste water, gas-processingplants and storage areas.According to the company’s proposal, the

drilling would take place over 30 years witha total project life of up to 80 years. The proj-ect area already has 445 existing well padsand 486 active wells.“We are starting a lengthy process

because we want to make sure we get lots ofpublic input. Unlike other oil and gas proj-ects, we are closer to small communities,”Howard said.The proposed project could mean miles of

roads and pipelines impacting several townsand rivers in Utah and Duchesne counties.Two open houses are scheduled for later inthe month where residents can see maps ofthe proposal and hear details about the envi-ronmental planning process from BLM andCrescent Point officials.For more information, visit
