Transcript of New England 08 2014
By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
The legacy of Kidder Building & Wrecking Inc. inPlaistow, N.H., spans three generations in four states over thepast 43 years. The company’s cranes and fleet of heavyequipment have worked and are working major projects inMassachusetts, Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire.Roscoe Kidder founded his original company in
Haverhill, Mass., in 1948 with immediate proximity to thetri-state region of Massachusetts, New Hampshire andMaine. He later passed the firm onto his son and namesake,Roscoe N. Kidder, who still works with his sons, Shawn N.Kidder and Dan Kidder, the future co-owners of the familybusiness.Roscoe oversees all of the operations and projects that his
two boys plan, control and execute.Originally a construction company three years after the
end of World War II, Shawn Kidder said the dismantling ofbuildings began in order to gain materials at a cheaper cost,versus buying them new. Over the next 20 years, the “wreck-ing” business dominated while the construction end “slippedaway,” according to Shawn Kidder. In 1971, KidderBuilding & Wrecking Inc. was established.
Old School Muscle“The beginning only included two one-ton, six-wheeler
dump trucks, the owner and his son — my father — and oldschool muscle,” said Kidder. “My grandfather ran the con-struction and dismantling full time and my father, Roscoe N.Kidder [the current president] would work days with thefamily business and nights at Western Electric. My grandfa-ther, Roscoe Kidder Sr., passed away due to cancer, and Dadtook full reigns of the company.” Having learned all aspects of building, the company
evolved surely, based on years of individual job experience.“Their trade as a dismantler came natural due to being a
carpenter and knowing the process of constructing a build-ing,” said Kidder. “Dismantling was just reversing theprocess. Having the carpenter background gave them theupper hand against those who just tried to take a buildingdown not knowing its internal structure.”Simple woodworking has evolved into a full-service com-
pany: • All demolition and dismantling services (interior gut
outs and complete takedowns of residential, commercial,industrial and educational buildings)• Disposal of all debris/masonry/concrete to legal

Substantial Growth and ChangeThe company has grown from the early 1970s from a
single excavator, Bobcat, tractor, trailer, dump truck opera-tion. The company now has access to eight excavators rang-ing from 20 to 50 tons (18 to 45 t), 11 Bobcats and four trac-tor/trailers. Kidder Building & Wrecking Inc. started off inthe early 1970s dismantling just three-decker houses andone-story residential buildings, but now takes on two or threepublic high schools a year, industrial plant decommissions,smokestacks, shopping malls and everything else in between “We never turn down a job opportunity, no matter the risk
or liability involved because we have the experience andexpertise to complete any task, and always ahead of sched-
ule,” said Kidder.“Over the past 43 years, we have been fortunate to employ
family that can be trusted and who are loyal to the well-beingof the company. It also allowed us to train sons, uncles,cousins, from a young age,” said Kidder. “This allowed us togain more experience in the field at a younger age and gainyouth on a vigorous job site. This is an advantage for usbecause time is money. An expertly-trained crew in theirmid-20s to mid-30s who can perform for 10-plus hours givesus the upper hand physically. Also, having the ability to trainon equipment from a young age allows us to utilize ouremployees more fully. We can use our operators as laborersand save on personnel.”Currently, Kidder employs between 20 to 25 people,
depending on season, from a full office staff, two full-timemechanics, versatile truck drivers/operators, operators whoserve as foremen and skilled laborers.“Services also include a full concrete-cutting division
which goes hand-in-hand with our dismantling and selectdemolition projects,” said Kidder. “We also continue to sal-vage building materials that can range from 2x4s to fireescapes and granite, all for sale.” Crane work is another major contributor to the company’s
scope of work. “With all the dismantling projects we do, usually at active
sites where the business is still running, it takes delicate workto complete the project and not disturb the client,” saidKidder. “Cranes help lift large sections of roofs, buildings,roof top units, etc. This usually leads to an open location[parking lot] for breaking and loading. One project that
comes to mind was the roof removal at a grocery store inLynnfield, Mass., that had collapsed due to the weight of theheavy snowfall. The store was closed, but the shelves stayedstocked and all the roof was removed without disturbing theinventory or adding further damage to the store.”

Gov. Deval Patrick Celebrates GrandOpening of New Yawkey Station
C&D Names Ondrickto Recycling Hall of Fame in Las VegasTed “Tadj” Ondrick, president and CEO of Ted Ondrick
Company LLC, Chicopee, Mass., was inducted into theC&D Recycling Hall of Fame during the recent C&D World,the annual meeting of the Construction & DemolitionRecycling Association, in Las Vegas, N.V.Ondrick was honored for his pioneering work in the recy-
cling of construction and asphalt in New England. For exam-ple, in the early 1980s, long before the recycling of concreteand asphalt become commonplace, his company recycledthe material generated at the rehabilitation of the WestoverAFB in Chicopee. At that time he had to modify and designthe equipment to do so. To this day Ondrick Materials andRecycling, which is now operated by his sons Todd andAdam, still recycles concrete, asphalt and contaminated soillocally and throughout New England.Ondrick also was a member of the first board of directors
of the CDRA’s predecessor, the Construction MaterialsRecycling Association, and was instrumental in building theorganization into the go-to place for information about therecycling of materials generated during construction anddemolition, such as concrete, asphalt, wood, metals, asphaltshingles, ceiling tile, carpet and drywall.The Construction & Demolition Recycling Association is
a national non-profit organization that promotes the recy-cling of the more than 350 million tons of construction anddemolition materials generated annually.

Maine, N.H. SettleLawsuit With M/VHarbour Feature On April 1, 2013, the M/V Harbour Feature, a 473-ft.
tanker, broke her mooring lines at the New Hampshire StatePier in Portsmouth, N.H. and struck the Sarah Mildred LongBridge, which spans the Piscataqua River between Kittery,Maine and Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The bridge is joint-ly owned by both states. As a result of the incident, thisbridge sustained substantial damage.The States of Maine and New Hampshire subsequently
filed suit against the M/V Harbour Feature in the UnitedStates District Court for the District of New Hampshire seek-ing repayment of the costs incurred in repairing the bridge.The states and the vessel have now settled those claims for$1.3 million, and the suit has been dismissed. Both Maineand New Hampshire are satisfied with the agreed settlement.

Gov. Deval Patrick celebrated thegrand opening March 10 of the newYawkey Commuter Rail Station andthe start of enhanced Commuter Railservice on the Framingham/WorcesterLine. The Yawkey Commuter Rail sta-tion, which serves Fenway Park andthe Longwood Medical area, is nowfully accessible, allows for increasedservice along theWorcester/Framingham line and willexpand economic opportunities foreach city and town along the line. Thegovernor was joined by MassDOTSecretary & CEO Richard A. Davey,Worcester Regional Chamber ofCommerce President & CEO TimothyMurray and Red Sox President & CEOLarry Lucchino. “The opening of Yawkey Station is
the culmination of many years ofcooperation and partnership toincrease access to accessible, conven-ient and efficient public transportationbetween Worcester and Fenway,” saidPatrick. “This project shows that ourgrowth strategy is real, not rhetorical.We must use public investment — oftime, money and ideas — to stimulategrowth and build opportunity for ourresidents. During construction, the tracks at
Yawkey Commuter Rail Station wererealigned to allow for double-trackcapacity, serving as the catalyst forexpanded Framingham/WorcesterLine service. This increases commuteroptions from Worcester to Boston,connecting the Commonwealth’s twolargest cities, as well as along the entirelength of the Framingham/WorcesterLine. “By increasing service from Boston
to Worcester, MassDOT continues toencourage economic growth in andaround the region,” said Davey. “TheFramingham/Worcester Line serves13,000 customers daily and continuesto demonstrate consistent growth, andMassDOT is confident that with thisexpansion, we will see that numberclimb.”With the new schedule, inbound
departures from Worcester to Bostonincrease from 17 to 20 trains per day.Outbound departures from Boston toWorcester also will increase, from 16to 20 trains per day. The service alsowill offer three new off-peak trains,including a new departure at 11:10
p.m. for those leaving the area later inthe evening. Additionally, there will bean increase from two to three trainsleaving Boston, scheduled to arrive inWorcester before 8:30 a.m. Likewise,there will be an increase in service dur-ing peak times, with a new traindeparting from South Station at 6:40p.m., stopping at Yawkey and thenending in Worcester. An additionalnew outbound train will depart SouthStation at 9:25 p.m. before stopping atYawkey. The 9:25 p.m. train will short-en the previous nearly two hourevening gap to one hour.“The renovated Yawkey Way
Commuter Rail Station and theexpanded Worcester/Framingham railschedule will have a profound impacton many of our fans who use publictransportation,” said Lucchino. “With40 stops per day under the new sched-ule — more than twice as many asbefore — visitors from the Metrowestarea will have greater flexibility get-ting to and from Fenway Park forgames, events and visits to this vibrantneighborhood.”“Smart transportation investments
have proven effective time and againin generating private sector job cre-ation,” said Murray. “Strengtheningthe transportation network betweenNew England’s two largest cities,Boston and Worcester, through com-muter rail expansion will build on thatlegacy.”Yawkey Commuter Rail station
now has two fully accessible, full-length train platforms, four new eleva-tors and an accessibility ramp. Themain entrance is now on the newYawkey Way Extension, which pro-vides vehicular and pedestrian accessoff of Brookline Avenue through anarea that had been used for Red Soxparking. In addition, new access toMaitland Street and Beacon Streetwas created, as well as a bike sharestation and new waiting areas withcanopies and windscreens. The newYawkey Station will provide moreconvenient, safer and more comfort-able access to thousands of people liv-ing, working or visiting the Fenwayneighborhood.“I am proud to say that Yawkey
Commuter Rail station is now fullyaccessible to all wishing to use its serv-ices,” said GM Scott. “This is another
important step in making the entireMBTA system fully ADA compliant.” The Framingham/Worcester Line
was finalized with public participationfrom over 500 customer responses thatwere received in response to MBTAinquiries surrounding the expandedschedule. The Patrick Administrationworked closely with members of theLegislature to make sure that the needsof our constituents were heard whilecrafting this improved schedule. “The new Yawkey Station is an
important transportation enhancementfor serving the Longwood Medicalarea and the Fenway neighborhood —both economic engines for our State,”said Sen. Will Brownsberger.“Today marks an important step in
the continued revitalization of down-town Worcester,” said Rep. DanDonahue. “This increase in train serv-ice from Union Station is a long timecoming for the city of Worcester. Thecity is poised to take off with housingand economic development projectsthroughout the city, and the added trainservice only amplifies what is alreadyhappening in Worcester.”“To invest in public transit is to
invest in the city’s economic future,”said Boston City Councilor At LargeAyanna Pressley. “By improving ourpublic transportation system, we arenot only increasing access to econom-ic opportunities, but also connectingcommunities and improving the qual-ity of life for residents. I commendthe Governor for his vision and lead-ership on this and thank the Mayor ofBoston (past and present), as well asthe many community partners,activists and development organiza-tions who have worked tirelessly tosee Yawkey Commuter Rail Stationto fruition.”Former Lt. Gov. Murray, along with
members of the legislature from citiesand towns along theFramingham/Worcester Line arrivedto Monday’s event on the new 512train that departs Worcester’s historicUnion Station at 7:35 a.m. They weregreeted at Yawkey Station just before 9a.m. by Patrick, Davey and the otherguests.

Safety is Kidder’s first issue ofthe day on every project. Whenany new job starts, as well as dur-ing projects already in motion,safety orientations are conductedon a regular basis. Hazards arecontinuously discussed andreminded and ways of preventinginjury and property loss are alwaysset in place before work com-mences. “All our employees have at least
the OSHA10. All foremen havetheir OSHA30. We are HAZWOP-ER 40 trained. Asbestos awarenesscourses are annually completed.Proper PPE [hard hats, high visibil-ity clothing] is supplied to allemployees on site and everyone istrained to each different job situa-tion to perform at highest caution,”said Kidder.
A Very Good WinterEven though, the company does
not venture into snow plowing dur-ing harsh northern New Englandwinters to augment seasonal work,this very cold, very snowy winterdid not slow Kidder Building &Wrecking down. In fact, theyincreased production. “This winter snow total has been
high compared to previous years;usually it’s one or two stormswhich we would typically shutdown for the day, depending onschedule. But this past winter has,by far, been one of our most pro-ductive winters in years,” saidKidder. “Even though we werebombarded with snowstorm aftersnowstorm, our schedule had toremain strict due to project time-lines awarded to us by our contrac-tors. We hired more laborers,worked through snowstorms, 10-plus-hour days, 2nd shifts, and wecut holidays short to stay ahead.”Kidder has been part of some of
the more memorable projects inthe region over the years.“One of our proudest projects
was helping after the great MaldenMills Fire in Lawrence, Mass., onDecember 11, 1995. It put us onthe map, showing how a family-owned-and-operated business cancompete [and complete] in indus-trial plant demolition. This is afield slowly being taken over byunion power house demolitioncompanies,” said Kidder.
The fire that reduced MaldenMills to rubble on that horribleevening was one of the worst in thestate’s history. Seven hundred peo-ple were at work in the factorywhen, at a little after 8 p.m., a boil-er exploded in one of the millbuildings. The explosion was sopowerful that it ruptured gasmains; fire quickly engulfed thebuildings. Employees fled into thestreets, 33 were injured, four ofthem critically.Fueled by the chemicals and
flammable materials used in textileproduction, according to manynewspaper reports, the six-alarmfire gutted the mill complex. Morethan 200 firefighters, from as faraway as New Hampshire andBoston’s South Shore, battled 50-ft. (15.2 m) walls of flame. Gustywinds and temperatures near zero
hampered efforts to stop the fire. Itraged out of control for much ofthe night, forcing nearby residentsto evacuate. By morning, the once-busy textile complex was com-pletely devastated.The fire was a disaster in more
ways than one. The millsemployed most of the immigrantworkers in the struggling factorycities of Methuen and Lawrence,Mass. Malden Mills was one of thelargest employers in the area.Kidder Building & Wrecking
came in to help authorities pick upall of the many charred pieces andbegin the daunting task of rebuild-ing.
Other ProjectsThere have been many other
Kidder projects over four decades,such as the demolition of dormsand administration buildings at theUniversity of New Hampshire. “We are responsible for major
high school demolitions such asReading, Needham, Maynard,Bolyston, Dracut and Watertownthat cleared the way for multi-mil-lion dollar schools,” said Kidder.“Another is the 3rd Avenue projectin Burlington, Mass., where wehave already cleared 16 buildingsin the past two years and severalmore to go in a huge industrial parkremodel for Nordbloom’s.

New England Seeking toTap Canadian HydropowerBy David Sharp and Wilson RingASSOCIATED PRESS
PORTLAND, Maine (AP)A 300-mi. (483 km) power cable would
be buried on land in Maine and then runacross the Atlantic Ocean floor to GreaterBoston under a proposal to tap Canada’splentiful hydropower to meet the needs ofpower-hungry southern New England.The so-called “Green Line” is one of sev-
eral proposals across Maine, NewHampshire and Vermont aimed at fulfilling agoal by New England governors to tap up to3,600 megawatts of renewable energy, lowerelectricity costs and offset losses as agingpower plants go offline. It is expected to costmore than $1 billion.“Our projects are in response to a really
unusual moment in time, the six governorsof New England coming together and indi-cating that they want to support bringingadditional electrical infrastructure into NewEngland for the sake of bringing clean ener-gy into New England,” Ed Krapels ofAnbaric, one of the Green Line partners, toldThe Associated Press.After a bitter winter that saw big spikes in
natural gas prices, the six states have cometogether to ensure a more reliable — andgreener — power supply that can help sta-bilize prices in the region.“It’s pretty huge,” Chris Recchia, the
commissioner of the Vermont Department ofPublic Service, said of the states working soclosely together. “To my knowledge it hasn’tbeen done before.”In the next few months, the governors are
expected to issue requests for proposals for1,200 to 3,600 megawatts of transmissioncapacity that could carry wind and hydro-electric power from the northern reaches andCanada. They are working to ensure theregion has a reliable supply natural gas toavoid future repeats of this winter’s extremeprice spikes.Many of the proposals have been talked
about in utility circles for some time, butcame into sharper focus after January’s spikein natural gas prices. Those hikes signifi-cantly increased power costs for NewEngland electric rate payers, highlighting theneed for alternative power sources such ashydro and wind, as well as reliable sourcesof natural gas.“The level of urgency has probably
increased as a result of the events inJanuary,” said Tom Dunn, the president ofVELCO, which manages the transmissiongrid in Vermont, a potential path to southern
New England for Canadian hydro power. “Ithink the concern is that this stuff takes along time to permit and build. This situationis going to be with us for a number of years.”Patrick Woodcock, the governor's energy
chief in Maine, said something has to changebecause the region’s energy rates are sky-high and there are consequences of relyingtoo heavily on fossil fuels.“There are a lot of costs to inaction,” he
said.Massachusetts and Connecticut are driv-
ing the push to bring clean hydropower fromCanada to help the states meet their clean-energy goals. But the other four states,Vermont, New Hampshire, Rhode Islandand Maine, agreed through the New EnglandStates Committee on Electricity, made up ofstate utility officials from the six states. Theyhave agreed to share the costs because theywould benefit from the overall reduction ofenergy costs, although the details of how thatwould be done remain to be worked out.The “Green Line” is one of two such pro-
posals in Maine, with a construction teamincluding Maine-based Cianbro, Mass.-based Anbaric Holding LLC ofMassachusetts and Powerbridge ofConnecticut. Their proposal is unusual inthat it proposes a construction hybrid ofburying cable underground — possiblyalong railroad tracks — in Maine and thenrunning cable under the ocean to GreaterBoston — a total distance of about 300 mi.Halifax, Nova Scotia-based Emera is
leading a similar proposal, to bring up to1,100 megawatts of energy across Maine, ina project dubbed the Northeast Energy Link.Other proposals include the Northern Passthrough New Hampshire, a proposal to runcables under Vermont’s Lake Champlainand a smaller Anbaric proposal to bring NewYork power into the New England powergrid in northwestern Vermont, also under aportion of Lake Champlain.Anbaric, experienced in laying underwa-
ter power lines between New Jersey andNew York, says the use of submarine cablesis the most efficient method of transportingenergy in terms of siting and permitting. TheGreen Line proposal is set up to tap bothwind energy from northern Maine andhydropower from Quebec, New Brunswickand Labrador.(Associated Press writer Wilson Ring

“We have gutted out one building and wehave five more takedowns to go. The indus-trial park remodel will result in the construc-tion of strip malls, bowling alleys, restau-rants, movie theaters, corporate offices, resi-dential housing and parking. This project iscontracted by Erland Corporation.”A few unusual projects included the par-
tial demolition and remodel of a futureMarket Basket (food market) in Manchester,N.H. “After the building was taken down and
we were digging out the foundation wall, wehad discovered underground walls andchambers that were unknown by the GC.After further digging and uncovering, andwith the confirmation of the historical socie-ty, we had uncovered an old railroad stationturntable from the mid-1800s,” said Kidder.“There were multiple tracks leading to theturntable that would, in the right time, rotateto a different direction. Following our dis-covery, the site crews were digging a newfoundation and found two locomotives ontheir side, buried. They were not removedfor reasons unknown. One lay inside thefootprint of the building and the other in thefoundation path. That train was draggedinside the foundation line and reburied.” Another job successfully completed was
the removal of 10,000 sq. ft. (929 sq m) ofsteel decking roof and its 65-ft. (19.8 m) barjoists at the Hanover, N.H. paper mill. “What made this job challenging was that
a new roof had been constructed 12 feetabove it, to allow room for a larger printingpress. Also, 30 feet below the roof, we wereremoving an active $4 million print assem-bly plant and up to 10 workers that workedfull-time,” said Kidder. “Also, with the highrisk of fire hazards, cutting torches, grinders,and cut-off saws were not allowed duringdismantle in case a spark ignited fire. Wecompleted the project in three days withSawzalls and Porter band saws with zeroloss.”Work ahead is constant and challenging. “Main and Moody in Waltham, Mass.,
will be one of our biggest projects on onesite, consisting of complete takedown of fourbuildings, three of them at the corners ofmajor intersections, only a sidewalk’s widthfrom busy traffic,” said Kidder. “A single-story, a three-story, a four-story and a five-story will begin the end of March with inte-rior gutting. Each building has 20 to 25 daysto be taken down and cleaned up. “Two of the smaller buildings will be very
easy with difficulty increasing with the last
two, due to sheer size and height, mixed withsafety hazard being so close to the MainStreet traffic,” said Kidder. “This project isalso general contracted by Erland Corp. Weare very excited about the project, becausewe beat out some big competitors. This willhelp us gain exposure, with such a high-riskjob. It also excites us because world-rankeddemolition contractor NASDI headquartersis just over a mile down the road and theywere one of the companies we beat out forthe job.”
All Out, All the TimeKidder Building & Wrecking, Inc. is
extremely proud of its reputation. “Word of mouth is very important. Image
and reputation is huge in the industry. Youcan’t read a book and become a professionaldemolition contractor. It takes experience,years of it,” said Kidder. “Sometimes, ittakes learning the hard way to be wise andknow how to do it the next time with greatcaution.” These past few years, the firm has caught
the eye of general contractors with howquick and efficient they are. “Now, we are getting calls and instantly
awarding us projects, in cases where we mayhave a higher bidding number. The GCknows what they’re getting and they knowtheir project will get done,” said Kidder.“We have some of the most talented oper-
ators, and most experienced. Our estimatorshave such a wide resume and have been allover the construction field. Their knowledgeis a major asset. And with my father beingone of the first demolition contractors inMassachusetts, his experience is second tonone,” said Kidder. “He has passed thatdown to me since I’ve been in the field at theage of 12. And, my being only 28, and ourcompany being the strongest it’s ever been,Kidder Wrecking is going to be around for avery long time.“To be in this field for 43 years, through
the economy struggles and past recessions,says a lot about Kidder Wrecking. Our nameand reputation has such a strong foundationthere’s really nothing that will take us down,no pun intended,” said Kidder.Kidder Building & Wrecking headquar-
ters are on a 52-acre yard, with its fleet ofequipment, at 247 Main St., Plaistow, N.H.For more information visit www.kbwde-
