Barletta Heavy Division, Inc.

The Environmental Compliance Committee has selected the Codman Yard Improvements Project as November’s Project of the Month for Environmental Excellence! 🌍 This project may have a tight footprint, but we’re making every square foot count! Through calculated planning and innovative construction techniques, we’re enhancing rail infrastructure while prioritizing sustainable practices. From reducing material waste to using eco-conscious practices like wheel washing, we’re committed to keeping our environmental impact as small as possible. This specific job site also uses portable environmental monitors to ensure that construction emissions, such as dust, don't reach our friendly neighbors! Stay tuned for updates as we work to build a greener future for our railways! ♻️ #CodmanYard #EnvironmentalProject #SustainableConstruction #GreenRailway

Happy Halloween from the entire Barletta family! Have a sweet and safe holiday!

Safety Zone: Toolbox Talk for Safety Data Sheets To ensure proper chemical safety in the workplace, information about the identities and hazards of all chemicals must be made available and written clearly for all employees. As part of OSHA’s Standard, chemical manufacturers and importers are required to evaluate the hazards of the chemicals they produce or import and prepare labels and safety data sheets to convey all hazard information. #OSHA #ChemicalSafety #SafetyZone

This weekend the MBTA Signals Improvements Project will be installing new infrastructure on the Orange Line's Southwest Corridor, but first I want to recognize our excellent Integrated Transit Programs Team on signals work that was completed two weekends ago. Barletta Heavy Division, Inc. crews advanced the project by installing a total of six switch machines at Chinatown and at Back Bay, along with related cabling and other infrastructure, while also completing important work to help out the Track Improvement Program Team. These switch machine replacements will allow us to transition to the new signal system on this section of the Orange Line once testing and cutover is complete. I want to specifically recognize our Integrated Transit Programs (formerly Capital Transformation) Team for their ongoing commitment to this project: Project Manager, Zeyb Zubairy, Senior Project Coordinator Natasha White, MPA, as well as Pete Heisey, P.E., and Resident Engineers Aldrich Mendes & Lamu Chanthavang, among many others who support the work! Continued Engineering & Maintenance support from Megan Chann and her Team, Operations support from Ryan Coholan's & Deirdre Habershaw's Team, plus support from our colleagues in Capital Programs under our fearless leader Sam Zhou, all help us to bring this across the finish line for our riders! Thanks, everyone! We're looking forward to another successful weekend coming up.

Erosion Control: Protecting Our Job Sites and the Environment 🌍 Erosion may seem like a natural process, but if not properly managed, it can have serious consequences—water pollution, soil loss, and even structural damage. Why Erosion Control Matters: 1. Protects Water Quality 🏞️: Keeps sediment out of rivers, lakes, and oceans. 2. Prevents Soil Loss 🌱: Preserves vital topsoil for vegetation. 3. Reduces Flood Risks 🌧️: Manages stormwater and prevents flooding. 4. Safeguards Infrastructure 🏗️: Prevents costly damage to roads, bridges, and buildings. Barletta’s Best Management Practices (BMPs): ✅ Vegetative Cover: Roots stabilize soil and slow down runoff. ✅ Hydroseeding: Hydroseeding protects soil from erosion. ✅ Erosion Control Blankets: Biodegradable materials protect slopes until plants grow. ✅ Silt Fences: Temporary barriers trap sediment on-site. ✅ Check Dams & Sediment Basins: Slows water flow and allows sediment to settle. Maintaining BMPs: 🔍 Regular Inspections ⚒️ Timely Repairs 🌿 Healthy Vegetation At Barletta, we take erosion control seriously and ensure our projects remain safe and environmentally friendly.🌎 #ErosionControl #EnvironmentalProtection #Sustainability #BestPractices

Make it Happen Monday: We are thrilled to announce that the MBTA Winchester Center Station has partially reopened for commuter rail service as of October 1, 2024! The partial opening includes the main station headhouses south of Waterfield Road and the station’s southeast ramp. The southeast of the station will assist all passengers riding both inbound and outbound and will be fully accessible. Upon the partial opening, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey offered, "This Winchester station will make it easier for residents to get to and from where they need to go and for visitors to access the area." And noted, “Our administration is proud to support the work the MBTA is doing to make our public transportation system more reliable and accessible and improve quality of life for the people we serve.” Full opening of the station is anticipated for Spring 2025! Thank you to the hard-working men and women of Barletta, the MBTA, Saugus Construction, Fischbach & Moore Electric Group, LLC., and Delta Elevator as together we are improving the lives of Winchester’s residents and visitors!

Safety Zone: Toolbox Talk for Fit For Duty Fit for Duty is the ability to perform the duties of the job in a safe, secure, productive, and effective manner. Being fit for duty includes being free from an illness, impairment, serious health condition, or injury that would prevent the employee from safely performing the essential functions of their job and/or would present a hazard to themselves or other employees. It is critical for everyone to do their part to create a safe work environment. Barletta Safety Site Officers will continue to deliver this Toolbox Talk to Barletta project locations throughout the week. Pictured: Barletta Employees take part in a Stretch and Flex!

Feature Friday: Six years ago this month, Barletta completed the MassDOT Route 128 Add-A-Lane project. Construction included an additional travel lane and shoulder to I-95 northbound and southbound toward the median along the entire 4-mile length of the project, creating a new interchange at Kendrick Street and two collector-distributor roads, upgrades to the interchanges at Highland Avenue and Route 9, construction of two additional lanes between Highland Avenue and Route 9, and construction of two additional lanes and four new bridges. This ACEC/MA Award Winning Project carries over 200,000 vehicles a day.
