Precast Solutions - Winter 2009 - (Page 19) The partnership has also provided A.C. Miller with expertise in a niche area of construction. That newly gained expertise has made the company more competitive, Buchan says. “It’s our goal to continue producing tunnel liner rings and to continue our relationship with Technopref,” he says. A.C. Miller’s involvement in the Connector project has helped to ensure that some of the knowledge required for the project stays in the Pittsburgh region. Dave Whipkey, spokesman for North Shore Connector owner Port Authority of Allegheny County, says the Authority is pleased with the work done by A.C. Miller and Technopref. Their work is helping with a project that will continue the transformation of Pittsburgh’s North Side, where both the Pirates and the Steelers have recently built a new stadium. “A.C. Miller’s reputation and attention to detail in producing precast rings is second to none,” Whipkey says. “When completed, the North Shore Connector will create a cohesive business district that will link Pittsburgh’s South Hills, downtown and the booming North Shore.” Jonathan Barnes is an award-winning freelance writer based in Pittsburgh.
