"Scott Gray of Meadville, PA., working for Kirila Contractors of Brookfield, stands on top of a vault that houses a 1930 waterline valve on state Route 46 in Weathersfield. The waterline feeds the city of Niles. The work is part of a $6.6 million project by the Mahoning Valley Sanitary District to replace isolation valves in Youngstown and Niles that began in October. MVSD is paying for the project with funds collected in its rate structure and has been planning the project for years as an operation maintenance project, according to MVSD chief engineer Tom Holloway."

PennDOT chose a 1.33 mile roadway (State Route 228, Cranberry Township, PA) to install a fiber reinforced asphalt mixture. This mix design provides strength as loading occurs on the asphalt due the aramid fibers that spread the force throughout the treated layer, reducing stress and fatigue where the tires meet the road. Installation of this asphalt was performed by Kirila Contractors, Inc.
