Abstract: Since the utility industry has become a competitive market place, we are at the crossroads for innovative approaches to cut costs yet maintain quality service. Our gas construction crews at Pacific Gas and Electric Company have developed two solutions for saving money on our construction projects in San Francisco: Spoil recycling. A shaker screen is being utihzed to separate reusable trench spoil material for use as backfill material, thus reducing import material cost as well as reducing disposal and transportation charges. Asphalt and concrete grinding. A Vermeer concrete cutter is being used as an alternative to saw cutting and pavement breaking over trench locations in streets where paving sections can be as thick as 18 inches. The material from the grinding operation is used as temporary backfill until trenching is completed, then processed through the shaker screen for backfill material.
