CEMEX hosts sales team sharing new ideas by Jon M. Casey
The CEMEX FEC Quarry is capable of producing up to 15 million tons of limestone per year.
Haul trucks line up to dump shot rock into the primary crusher at CEMEX's FEC (Florida East Coast) Quarry. This might be one of the more gratifying and unusual stories that I can recall reporting upon in recent memory. Routinely, NAQN presents success stories that reflect the achievements of quarry businesses and their suppliers helped meet the need of some problem area within the quarry operation. While transactions like these go on every day throughout the year, most of the time these events are taken for granted as part of the industry business routine. Therefore, when we were offered the opportunity to follow up on what initially began as a consumer visit to the 2011 CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, NV, what followed is the topic for this article. For those of you who attend this mega-trade show, it would come as no surprise that a visit to one of the

hundreds of exhibitors there, would spark interest in a new product or service that is on display. Such was the case for John Poeppelman, CEMEX Director of Engineering Services, Aggregates-Florida. For Poeppelman, his stop at the W.S. Tyler exhibit went from a curious, brief look at what they might have to offer, to a one on one presentation at one of the CEMEX quarry operations in eastern Florida. Impressive exhibit “Jim Cox, our QC manager and I attended the CONEXPO-CON/AGG last March,” said Poeppelman, during our recent interview. “We visited the W.S. Tyler pavilion with one of their local reps, who had us looking at something different as far as their technology is concerned. He wanted us to learn more about gradation analysis and high pressure washing as well as the new multi-deck screen design that W.S. Tyler was offering. We found their presentation so informative that our time with them turned into an hour to an hour and one half visit.” When Poeppelman and Cox were ready to depart, Poeppelman commented as to how this was very valuable information however, it would be nice if W.S. Tyler were able to give a presentation like this at a CEMEX operation in Florida, to allow CEMEX people to see this for themselves. In response to that kind of interest, the W.S. Tyler sales team worked with CEMEX staff to create an on site presentation that they called their CEMEX Day presentation. That took place June 16, 2011. Taking the show on the road Bob Martin, VP of Florida Aggregates for CEMEX, said that in day to day activities, most quarry personnel are only involved with the equipment and accessories that are already in place at their operations. Therefore, when Poeppelman returned from Las Vegas with the suggestion that they put on an informational presentation and invite management staff and key individuals from within their region to be a part of this presentation, Martin agreed that this could be extremely beneficial. As it turned out, he wasn’t disappointed. “We were able to get a good mix of supervisors, lead

Tyler staff offered several new ideas to us, but it wasn’t so much that they were trying to sell us their products as that they were promoting the engineering concepts behind the products that they sell. They were demonstrating the how and why of their ‘building the better mouse trap.”’ “They were very professional and very well organized and they prompted us to think beyond where we currently think,” he said. “They were clearly here to help us solve some of our problems in a better way. We had a total of 25 people from South Florida who attended that day.” What is even more interesting about this event is the fact that at the time of W.S. Tyler’s team visit, this facility was not using W.S. Tyler products, however, Poeppelman was reminded of how his family used

their screens early in his career, when he was involved in that family business. “My brother still runs the family operation and they still use a W.S. Tyler screen that is probably close to 50 years old,” said Poeppelman. “We were so impressed with W.S. Tyler’s demonstration of technology at the trade show, that we were pleased that they would bring it here to show it to the people who use these products day in and day out. By seeing it in use here, they are able to take a look at the technology and evaluate it for themselves.” “At our event, they had one of their calibration units set up on one of our screens so that we could see how it would work under field conditions,” said Poeppelman. “They had their gradation unit set up in our lab. We did real samples of our material using these new methods so that we could stack them up against our physical testing for comparison. We sampled some of their screening media. Moreover, while they didn’t bring one of their high pressure washers, they did present a video that clearly showed the features and benefits of that technology. We have a difficult time cleaning some of our material and their demonstration video was very impressive. We had class time and broke out into four groups for field work.” The CEMEX FEC Operation Martin said that the FEC Quarry was originally opened under the ownership of “Doc Rinker” an entrepreneur who established ready mix plants using the Florida East Coast Railroad as a major transportation method for his business. “When he built the “mega-quarry” in Miami-Dade County, he was fortunate enough to pick one of the best limestone deposits in the state and he was a forerunner in using Unit-trains to move material up and down the east coast. It was constructed in 1972. Over time, the plant has been upgraded, but the basic footprint has remained the same. It is a model of efficiency,” he said. Martin said that they would eventually consider using W.S Tyler products, when production resumes to levels that are more profitable. “Up until this visit, W.S. Tyler was little known in south Florida. However, after this presentation, their products will be considered when future opportunities arise. Their presentation was about technology and possibilities. For that we are grateful.” For more information on CEMEX FEC, visit their website at www.cemex.com.

W.S. Tyler team offers knowledge and experience by Jon M. Casey While the lineup of W.S. Tyler equipment might be a familiar name to many in the aggregates and mining industry, for others, the company name is new. Thus, companies like W.S. Tyler look to trade shows as a way to promote their products and services. More importantly, for a company like W.S. Tyler, who has been in business for more than 130 years, that “something extra” that makes a company special is the knowledge and experience that being in business for such a long time has to offer. That is what the representatives from CEMEX discovered when they visited the W.S. Tyler exhibit at CONEXPOCON/AGG this past year. “Jim Cox and John Poeppelman from CEMEX took the opportunity to spend considerable time with our company president, Florian Festge,” said W.S. Tyler’s marketing manager, Kristen Randall. “During their conversation, it came out that like so many other visitors to this year’s expo, CEMEX was not able to send as many employees to the show as they might have in other years. It was at that time that the idea of a CEMEX day began to emerge and the W.S. Tyler sales team went to work planning what turned out to be more than one day of time together with CEMEX people who are involved on a daily basis with material screening.” “While we used CONEXPO-
CON/AGG to demonstrate our broad product line, we personalized the equipment and approach for the CEMEX event,” said Randall. “This included explaining how our unique Haver HydroClean™ washing unit could better clean their material, highlighting our advanced vibrating screens, and introducing our Haver Pelletizing Disc technology that may be able to help them turn fines into sellable material in the future. We also discussed how our Pro-Deck screening media approach, where we help the customer determine the proper blend and layout of multiple types of media on one deck, can be customized specific to their application and individual production needs to maximize screening profit. Our combination of knowledge and experience allows us to make sure that the screening process is the most efficient that it can be.” “In addition to our advanced equipment, we showed them a few of our technologies that can improve their material processing efficiency no matter what equipment they use,” she said. “We demonstrated our Computerized Particle Analysis technology which takes sieve analysis to the next level by dramatically reducing testing time and increasing testing accuracy. We also showed them how our vibrating screen performance analysis testing process could determine how efficiently a customer’s screens are
operating on site in real time. It helped them diagnose how to improve overall performance. Our goal was to show them how they could improve their entire process, from start to finish, and we did that.” Randall said that since this CEMEX facility, and those who were represented at CEMEX Day, were not currently using W.S. Tyler products, their presentation was not specifically designed to sell their product line at this time. “Instead, we simply wanted to inform the CEMEX staff of new technology and methods that were available to help make their plants more efficient and more profitable when they are ready for it in the future,” she said. “One of the things that makes our company different is that our sales people know the business and how the technologies we offer can help their specific application. We build a partnership to help them determine solutions to their specific challenges versus just selling them equipment.” CEMEX is the kind of company that involves everyone and allows them to come together to make important decisions about production. So for us, this is an ideal business partner and way to help build a long term relationship.” For more information on W.S. Tyler products and services, contact them at www.wstyler.ca or at 800-325-5993.

NSSGA applauds MSHA move toward pre-assessment conferencing of Citations ALEXANDRIA, VA — The National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association commends the U.S. Mine Safety & Health Administration in response to its announcement that the agency would make available an opportunity for aggregates operators and other stakeholders to conference with MSHA representatives regarding disputed citations before assessment of penalties. “NSSGA industry leaders, from safety directors to owner operators, CEOs and our dedicated Safety and Health Committee members all over the country, have urged restoration of pre-assessment conferencing ever since this communication program was taken away in the last year of the previous administration,” said NSSGA President and CEO Joy Wilson. “We’re pleased MSHA Assistant Secretary Joe Main and his senior team see the value to safety in pre-assessment conferencing. Operators and MSHA can spend time
more appropriately on improving workforce safety and health rather than see that time and limited resources evaporate in unnecessary, prolonged and costly disputes.” NSSGA Chairman of the Board Dave Thomey, executive vice president, Maryland Materials, Inc., praised MSHA’s announcement. “I’ve been part of a concerted effort with the NSSGA Executive Committee to help demonstrate the real costs to a small business like mine, when pre-conferencing tools were no longer available. Fully implemented restoration of this practice is a positive move by MSHA.” Thomey and Wilson refered to a series of NSSGA’s small, medium and large company CEOs’ meetings with Main, during which members asserted that unjustified, inconsistent enforcement hampered compliance and diverted focus from risk based prevention of accidents and improvement of operator safety and health. NSSGA’s Safety Pledge com-
mits members to adopt safety as a value and to continuous improvement. It is based on the principle that compliance depends on a constructive dialogue between MSHA inspectors and aggregates operators. NSSGA believes that return of pre-assessment conferencing can help. Louis Griesemer, president, Springfield Underground and NSSGA co-chair of the association’s alliance with MSHA said, “A productive dialogue on behalf of safety is critical as NSSGA members continue efforts to boost safety and health. A clear route to these communications, via pre-assessment conferencing, is a big step in the right direction.” Scheduled to be implemented in January 2012, the new program is expected in all six MSHA districts. However, MSHA cautioned that execution of the program is dependent on the district managers’ belief that the re-
quired resources are available. This pre-assessment conferencing procedure is important because it should allow aggregates operators to meet with MSHA about disagreements on citations before a penalty is actually assessed. The agency said that a primary goal is to reduce the backlog of cases before the Review Commission. The plan to allow pre-assessment conferencing follows up on the agency’s pilot pre-assessment program that was conducted in the southeastern district in the fall of 2010. MSHA says that two thirds of all conferences were settled without a subsequent contest. The agency also said that most operators that participated in the pilot expressed satisfaction with the program’s procedures. NSSGA notes that in the last fiscal year, the agency budget was more than $357 million. Furthermore, the aggregates industry, challenged
by the worst construction economy since the Great Depression, was assessed $20.4 million for payment to the U.S. government general revenue while the safety incidence rate of the MSHA regulated aggregates industry broke records in safety improvement to levels approximating the risks of teaching in OSHA regulated elementary and secondary schools. Based near the nation’s capital, NSSGA is the world’s largest mining association by product volume. Its member companies represent more than 90 percent of the crushed stone and 70 percent of the sand and gravel produced annually in the U.S. and approximately 106, 700 working men and women in the aggregates industry. During 2010 a total of nearly two billion metric tons of crushed stone, sand and gravel, valued at $17 billion, were produced and sold in the United States.
SOUTHAVEN, MS — Engineered for the toughest applications around the world, the new Generation 9 range of Terex articulated trucks are powered by Scania® engines which are renowned for high uptime and reliability, underpinned by a worldwide service network. Back to back testing with the new Generation 9 Tier 4i TA300 and the previous model (Tier 3 TA300) demonstrates that the new range is not only more productive but also more fuel efficient. Dedicated to reducing
downtime, the service points on Terex articulated trucks are designed for quick and easy access. The electronic assisted hood raise and the fully tilting cab simplify access to major components and ground level service points, which further reduces downtime. As well as reduced downtime, lower cost of ownership is a key feature of Terex artic haulers. All models in the Generation 9 range benefit from oil cooled multiple disc brakes on each axle providing ex-
tended brake component life, reducing service intervals and operating costs and improving overall braking performance compared to traditional dry disc brake systems that are fitted as standard on other leading manufacturers’ trucks. The Terex cab is developed around the operator to improve comfort, efficiency and productivity. The new ergonomic cab has reduced interior noise levels, more effective air conditioning, a high quality sound system and even a new

steering wheel and mirror arrangement. Interior aesthetics have also been updated to anthracite grey with a matte finish to reduce glare. The smallest truck in the range boasts a hauling capacity of 20.3-cubic-yards and is powered by an impressive 311 hp engine, making the Gen 9 TA250 the perfect partner for any construction project in the 25 ton class market. With a 370 hp engine, the Gen 9 TA300 leads the way as one of the most powerful truck in the 30 ton class market, and this power combined with a heaped capacity of 22.9-cubicyards, means the Gen 9 TA300 is one of the most productive articulated trucks available today. Another class leading feature of the updated TA300 is the fully independent front suspension, which is fitted as standard. This innovative design, which is also available as an option on the Gen 9 TA250, greatly reduces operator fatigue and increases machine stability, enabling these machines to excel in rough terrain environments. Completing the Terex
range of Gen 9 articulated trucks is the powerful TA400 which has a maximum payload of 40 tons and a heaped capacity of 30.3-cubic-yards. It has a gross power of 444 hp, and with six forward gears and one reverse in addition to a two speed drop box, the Gen 9 TA400 can travel up to 37.3 mph. At home on sites ranging from sand and gravel quarries to coal mines and road construction projects, the new Gen 9 Terex articulated trucks are designed to keep your productivity levels high, fuel consumption low and cycle times short. In short, Terex has the right articulated dump truck for every application. For more information about Gen 9 Terex artic-

The People Side of Improvement by Kay Sever
Have you dared to ask “How good could we be?” We believe that “tangibles” (things we can see, touch and pay for) create earnings — mobile equipment, production facilities, operating supplies, equipment components, employees, contractors and computer systems. When we build a budget for forecast, changes in tangibles drive increases or decreases in projected earnings and cash flow. But… what about the impact of “intangibles” on earnings and cash flow? Their impact is significant and greater than most of us can imagine. What are intangibles? They are beliefs, behaviors, choices and other invisible factors that interfere with performance: • People that are afraid to talk about problems; • Departments that don’t work together to solve problems; • Unachievable expectations for performance that set people up to fail; • Superintendents that have a personality conflict and won’t communicate with each other; • Anyone in a management level that doesn’t follow through on what they said they
would do; and • A lack of trust between the workforce and management or within the management team itself. Intangibles act as BARRIERS in everything we do — project management, getting good data and the right information for decision making, budgeting, forecasting and problem solving, etc. They even stop efforts to improve performance and sustain change. We invest in Six Sigma, Lean or TQM and wonder why improvements did not materialize and change did not last. We blame the methodology, consultants and employees for this failure without considering the impact of intangible barriers on the shortfalls. Managers are held accountable for production and cost, but not for subjective choices that stagnate change. Here are some of the costs of intangible barriers: • Intangibles impact the general ledger as excess costs buried in cost centers or as missing margins associated with product that could have been produced but wasn’t; • I call some intangi-
bles “Million Dollar Choices With NO ACCOUNTABILITY” because millions of dollars are spent correcting problems that could have been prevented with clearer communications, consistent follow through and better cooperation between departments; and • Intangibles ALWAYS reduce management credibility, a hidden cost that is difficult to recover. Often intangibles (“beliefs, behaviors and choices”) are accepted as “part of the culture.” When we do this, three things happen: • We reinforce the belief that intangible barriers can’t be removed from our company; • We turn our backs on the financial and cultural benefits of removing them; and • We NEVER ASK “how good could we be?” because we BELIEVE that our best is not possible to achieve. Ask yourself these questions: • What would your bottom line look like if your intangible barriers were removed?; • Can you imagine

what it would be like to work there?; and • What if it was possible for people to make better choices for communication, follow through and problem solving BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD the impact of their choices on the bottom line and culture? The answers to these questions are short and to the point. It is possible to intentionally optimize your bottom and equipment performance. It is possible to create the culture you always wished you could be a part of. It is also possible to set a daily goal for your “best day ever” and know that employees come to work with that attitude and intent. If this scenario sounds impossible, it is because companies historically work hard to be experts in the “Mechanics of Change” but are out of touch with the “Intangibles of Change.” We expect our people to be great at managing the processes
they are responsible for without giving them the skills to recognize and remove the barriers that are holding them back. If management masters the skills required for removing its intangible barriers, all bets are off on what they can achieve. Thought for the month: How much better could you be if management removed the intangible barriers that are holding them back? If your management team seems disjointed, if you have trouble reaching consensus, if managers say they want culture change but behave as if they don’t, or if you have come to the conclusion that culture change is the secret to your operation’s success, you would benefit from calling Kay Sever. She has 30 years of mining experience and a hands-on track record of success in changing mining culture to improve performance and can help your
people be more effective in planning, communications and preventing problems. She will “connect your people to performance and profits” and help you “manage change like you manage operations.” Kay works with every organizational level and department to find the highest dollar opportunities and remove barriers that prevent sustainable change. She helps management teams lead improvement and better execute the budget, capital approvals, incentive plans, communications, etc. Kay also implements improvement programs for mining and downstream processing facilities. See MiningOpportunity.com for details on her services and contact information. Look for the mining edition of her first book “Building An Opportunity Culture - Addressing the Barriers That Steal Profits and Prevent Sustainable Change,” available on her website under Products/Books.

Atlas Copco upgrades Silence Kit on SmartROC T40, T35 drill rigs COMMERCE CITY, CO — Atlas Copco has announced the availability of a newly upgraded Silence Kit for its SmartROC T35 and T40 surface drill rigs. The original kit was introduced in 2005, consisting of a distinctive hood enclosing the drill rod. The new Silence Kit, developed in cooperation with experienced users, reduces the noise generated from the feed by an additional two dB(A). Key improvements include a double layer of noise absorbent material together with an upgraded aluminum chassis that has greater resistance to drill rod vibration. Without the silence kit, the noise level of the SmartROC T35 and T40 is 127 dB(A) at peak power. With the upgraded silence kit added, tests show that the noise level drops to 115 dB(A), providing an improved working environment at urban construction sites and meeting current demands for lower noise levels. From an operational standpoint, this means that site personnel positioned at the recommended safety distance from the rig during operation can converse with colleagues without having to shout, can use a phone and more easily hear
other noise around them while still keeping their ear protection in place. Besides better noise dampening, the new kit is also more functional than its predecessor. It has four access hatches, with a fifth at the very top of the feed. These can be opened two at a time at the touch of a button, allowing access for rod handling, inspection of coupling sleeves or service. In addition, the kit has also been equipped with an improved lighting system.
The new silence kit is supplied as an option with the new SmartROC T35 and T40 drill rig, improving the onsite environment and meeting increasingly strict drilling noise regulations.

CANDIAC, QUEBEC, CANADA — Flex-Mat® 3 LFM harp wire from Montreal based Major Wire Industries Limited helps
aggregate operations increase throughput over standard harp or piano wire while reducing downtime caused by
worn wire cloth. Standard harp or piano wire screens use hard metal or plastic slides to hold the wires in place at the
crown bar. The wires vibrate against the slides, which in turn vibrate against the crown, causing breakage. Major
Wire’s high performance Flex-Mat 3 LFM harp wire is manufactured with straight wires firmly molded into polyurethane
strips that hold the wires in place at the crown bar. With its wires embedded into flexible polyurethane strips instead of rigid slides, Flex-Mat 3 LFM harp wire eliminates this steel on steel wear. The polyurethane strips at the crown bars keep the wires equally tensioned, creating better wire vibration when compared to traditional harp or woven wire cloth, reducing blinding and increasing production of a cleaner aggregate product. In addition, Flex-Mat 3 LFM harp wire’s long slots (up to 12-inches) provide more open area to increase screen capacity. Because of its unique design, Flex-Mat 3 LFM harp wire handles high impact loads better and lasts up to twice as long as conventional harp and piano wire. Additionally, Flex-Mat 3 LFM harp wire screen media is available in custom configurations to match unique screens and applications. Producers can choose from the commonly selected stainless steel wire or Major Wire’s highly abrasion resistant OptimumWire® high carbon and high manganese content wire; number and placement of polyurethane strips; a wide range of wire diameters per opening sizes; optional polyurethane intermediate strips for better wire stability and spec material control; and an optional polyurethane side seal, which provides the tightest possible seal. Celebrating more than 125 years in business, Major Wire Industries Limited designs, manufactures and markets screening solutions, including Flex-Mat® 3 high performance, self-cleaning screen media in tensioned and modular versions, OptimumWireÆ and stainless steel woven wire cloth for the quarry, mining, recycling and industrial markets.

Safety Solutions: New Rules by Randy E. Newcomer, CMSP COHC “A few strong instincts and a few plain rules suffice us.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson. Okay, don’t panic over the title to this column. I’m talking about a new Rules to Live By initiative from MSHA. While I’ve been busy in past installments here reviewing the original initiative, which is several years old now, MSHA has been busy with sequels. The latest is Rules to Live By III. I have the same problem with the Star Wars saga. I still haven’t seen all the sequels… or actually prequels. So there are really no new MSHA rules. The ones that have been showing up in these initiatives are nothing new. They aren’t obscure rules either. I think most people are aware of them. The thing that makes these rules stand out in all three Rules to Live By initiatives is that they are most often cited in fatalities. No, we usually aren’t finding new ways to kill ourselves either. To catch you up, the first Rules to Live By for Metal Nonmetal was thirteen rules whose violation were most commonly cited as contributing factors to nearly half of the fatalities during a nine year period. The idea was that since these few rules were so often involved in fatalities it was espe-
cially important that miners be aware of these and adhere to them for their own protection. The second part of the initiative was that MSHA would also enhance enforcement on these rules. That has certainly come true. Whenever they are discussed with miners in my training classes there are plenty of experiences among attendees who have received citations for violations or alleged violations of these rules. The second initiative was “Rules to Live By II: Preventing Catastrophic Accidents.” Since it focused on rules that contributed to accidents which resulted in multiple fatalities of five or more victims, it applied to coal, specifically underground coal where such high numbers from a single accident are far more likely. Without actually checking back through the records I can only think of several Metal Nonmetal multiple fatalities and then the multiple refers to two, or at the very most three. The nature of underground coal mining simple makes bad things worse. So that brings us up to the present where Metal Nonmetal IS included in the latest initiative. This time we get five rules for Metal Nonmetal Surface which have contributed to at least five fatalities in the ten year period from Jan. 1, 2001 to Dec. 31, 2010. Briefly they are as follows with the number of
fatalities for each during the period: • 30 CFR §46.7(a) — New task training - 21 fatalities; • 30 CFR § 56.3130 — Wall, bank, and slope stability - 6 fatalities; • 30 CFR § 56.3200 — Correction of hazardous conditions - 6 fatalities; • 30 CFR § 56.14100(b) — Safety defects; examination, correction and records - 5 fatalities; and • 30 CFR § 56.15020 — Life jackets and belts - 6 fatalities. Enforcement for the period is also reported by MSHA in the initiative. During that period the total number of citations written for these five rules was 36,479. The citation history breaks down like this: New task training — 556; Wall, bank and slope stability — 632; Correction of hazardous conditions — 2,229; Safety defects examination, correction and records — 32,594; and Life jackets and belts — 468. Notably the most cited and also the most general of these rules also resulted in the fewest fatalities. It was cited nearly fifteen times more often than the next most frequent citation in the group. Stay tuned, I’ll be examining these standards with tips on staying safe and in compliance in coming issues of NAQN. Until then you can download helpful information from MSHA at www.msha.gov/FocusOn/RulestoLiveByIII/RulestoLiveByIII.asp. So what’s next? Rules to Live by
Four: The Phantom Menace… no, that’s the Star Wars film that’s out again, this time in 3D. I have yet to see that one, so I have another chance. Maybe they can reissue the MSHA Rules to Live By in 3D. Sadly, whatever you think about these initiatives, the rules they highlight are worth every miner reviewing again and again. Our challenge is making them new each time so no one loses interest in them. If we forget them, we all lose. Just a Minute: What are your weaknesses? What’s most likely to go wrong in your workday? Take a minute before you do the next task to evaluate the hazards of the task and how you address them. Is there something that’s not exactly according to the rules? Have there been any close calls for you in your past ten years? If you can think of anything, address it immediately and keep yourself safe. If you can’t think of anything, think again, and again and again. Make a habit of taking a minute to do this before every task.

In addition to his company site at www.completesafetysolutions.com he manages www.safeminers.com a site dedicated to the sharing and organization of the best mine safety information and materials for contractors, miners, trainers and managers.
SOUTHAVEN, MS — Powered by a Tier 4 interim compliant Scania® DC9 370 hp engine, the new Terex TA300 Generation 9 articulated truck is designed to keep productivity levels high, fuel consumption low and cycle times short. The proven fuel efficient design of the Generation 9 TA300 boasts a 12 per-
cent reduction in fuel consumption for fewer refueling stops, as well as more than a two percent in horsepower and a six percent increase in peak torque for better overall acceleration, over its predecessor. “With a maximum payload of 30 tons, a body dump cycle time of 20 seconds and a 22.9-cubic-yards
heaped capacity body, customers will benefit from low cost per ton per hour when moving material,” says Ken Emmett, product manager, Terex Construction. “And, its high capacity cooling system provides excellent performance in all climates, from arctic to desert conditions.” With a world class
emissions compliant engine and exhaust brake, this new Generation 9 truck provides excellent rim pull and power in haul applications. The TA300 is equipped with a ZF fully automatic with manual override transmission and retarder, with six forward gears and three reverse gears. It has a maximum torque
of 1,309-pound-foot at 1,400 rpm, and when coupled with the 100 percent differential locking action, this class leading performance enables this truck to go where others can’t follow. The maneuverability and tractive effort means the truck is well suited to such diverse applications as quarrying, mining, construction and road maintenance. The standard Independent Front Suspension (IFS) system on the TA300 provides a smooth ride when traveling over rough terrain, making it easier to handle and increasing productivity. In addition to achieving quicker haul cycles, shock loads and vibrations are also reduced, increasing component life, enhancing operator comfort and reducing driver fatigue. Another important feature of the Gen 9 TA300 — and all Terex articulated haulers — is the oil cooled multiple disc brakes on each axle, which provide extended brake component life, reduced service intervals, lower operating costs and better overall braking performance in comparison to traditional dry disc brake systems which are fitted as standard by other leading manufacturers. The Gen 9 TA300 also has a new ergonomic cab designed to provide operators with comfort and control. Control positions and instrument group-
ings have been arranged according to operator feedback. The cab also benefits from reduced interior noise levels, an improved steering wheel, more effective air conditioning, a high quality sound system and new mirrors. Interior aesthetics have been updated to anthracite grey with a matte finish to reduce glare. Maintenance is simple to perform on the TA300. From the wide opening angle of the electronic lift hood to ground level access to the major components, every consideration has been given to servicing the TA300. Service technicians can easily complete under hood service thanks to the wide platforms on both sides of the engine. Terex Corporation is a diversified global manufacturer operating in four business segments: Terex Aerial Work Platforms, Terex Construction, Terex Cranes and Terex Materials Processing. Terex manufactures a broad range of equipment for use in various industries, including the construction, infrastructure, quarrying, mining, shipping, transportation, energy, refining and utility industries.

Atlas Copco launches Boomer M1 L single boom drill rig for low height mining COMMERCE CITY, CO — The latest single boom face drilling rig from Atlas Copco is designed for development and production drilling in low to medium height mines, including applications with extensive tramming. With a machine height of 5.9-feet the Boomer M1 L is sized for room and pillar mines with back heights from 7.2 to 8.2-feet. It has a strong carrier with heavy duty axles and a reinforced articulation section as well as oversized wheels compared to similar rigs in the range. Components and systems from existing drill rigs such as the Boomer S1 L and the Boomer M2 D were incorporated into the design of the Boomer M1 L in order to respond to customer demand for a more robust single boom face drilling rig for low height applications. “This is the perfect rig for the rough and tough world of low vein mining in room and pillar operations — especially where there are long distances to be covered,” said Peter Bray, product manager at Atlas Copco’s underground equipment division. “Typically, rigs of this type have to cover distances of 6 to 12 kilometers a day and that requires a machine that can really take a lot of wear and tear. The Boomer M1 L can handle this with no problem. Its strong components are built to withstand tramming on rough roadways over long periods of time.” The Boomer M1 L has a spacious, fully enclosed, air conditioned cabin and an ergonomic control panel,
Asphalt Pavement Alliance releases new Life Cycle Cost Software LANHAM, MD — The Asphalt Pavement Alliance (APA) has released a new version of the software program LCCAExpress for life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) of pavements. Version 2.0 of LCCAExpress is geared to less complex projects. It is quick, easy to use and unbiased. The software is available as a free download at www.AsphaltRoads.org. “The updated software now offers the ability to print out a professional looking report. It allows the user the addition of a fourth overlay option as well as more maintenance options and the choice of whether to calculate user delay. LCCAExpress does all this in a very user friendly way,” said Jill Thomas of the Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association, co-chair of the APA’s Economics Team. Like its predecessor programs, LCCAExpress 2.0 still uses the princi-
ples recommended by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to compare the economics of alternative designs for a given road project. It is a simplified version of the APA’s original LCCA software. Both LCCA and LCCAExpress are available as free downloads at www.AsphaltRoads.org. The website at www.AsphaltRoads.org also has a wealth of additional resources on topics including Perpetual Pavements, policy considerations and environmental sustainability. The Asphalt Pavement Alliance is a coalition of the National Asphalt Pavement Association, the Asphalt Institute and the State Asphalt Pavement Associations. The Alliance’s mission is to further the use and quality of asphalt pavements. The Alliance will accomplish this through research, technology transfer, engineering, education and innovation.
contributing to operator safety and comfort. Power is provided by the environmentally friendly, low emission Deutz 80kW Tier 3 engine. The latest Boomer model comes with an improved flexible boom, simple controls (Direct Control System 2), as well as a choice of COP 1638 or COP 1838 rock drills. The rig is also designed to be easy to service, with easily accessible service points behind protective hatches. A prototype of the Boomer M1 L was successfully tested by the Polish mining company KGHM which has since placed orders for several units. Atlas Copco has provided a video of the new Boomer M1 L in action at www.youtube.com/AtlasCopcoUG.

Alternative Case Resolution Initiative Training Workshop protects your company, your employees and your assets from devastating fines and penalties GREEN BAY, WI — Catamount Consulting, LLC and Patton Boggs, LLP have teamed up to provide an Alternative Case Resolution Workshop this spring in
Green Bay, WI. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has increased mine inspections, citations and penalties and the March workshop will teach companies how to deal with MSHA inspections from the field to the courtroom. Mark Savit, partner at Patton Boggs, LLP and an expert in mining litigation and health and
safety law, says “MSHA has definitely ramped up the number and variety of citations it is issuing. The only way a mining company can operate in this regulatory climate is to become as familiar as it can be with the MSHA citation process.” Key strategies can avoid costly citations and reduce your company’s legal and financial liability. “We have part-
nered with Catamount Consulting, LLC, a leader in MSHA, OSHA and work zone safety training, to provide industry experts who will teach you how to deal with MSHA from the moment the field inspectors arrive at your site, through the course of their inspection and after any citations are issued,” said Mr. Savit. The U.S. Dept. of La-
bor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) has enacted the second phase in major reforms to enforcement and increased inspections of coal, mineral and aggregate mining operations. Since April, 2010, when the enhanced inspections began, citations and penalties have risen steadily. “MSHA has definitely ramped up the number and variety of citations it’s issuing,” said Mr. Savit. “It is clear that MSHA leadership favors more stringent enforcement as the primary way to ensure safety, and they are taking unprecedented action as of late.” Mine operators are particularly vulnerable to MSHA enforcement actions, as many citations carry penalties that can cripple the operating budget of a mining company. “I’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Mr. Savit, remarking on a recent case in which a small stone quarry was assessed over $500,000 in MSHA penalties. Savit, who began his career at the U.S. Dept. of the Interior where he headed MSHA’s special investigation unit, said: “The only way a mining company can operate in this regulatory climate is to become as familiar as it can be with the MSHA citation process. The risk of being unprepared for a significant MSHA enforcement action can be devastating.” Scott McKenna, a MSHA certified instructor and owner of Catamount Consulting LLC, agrees. “Mine operators need to know about and respond to any violations on their sites before MSHA does, and they need to know how to deal with citations,” said McKenna. “Ignorance of rights, responsibilities, the Code of Federal Regulations and the ACRI process is simply reckless.”
ACRI, the Alternative Case Resolution Initiative, is a MSHA program in which ACRI trained, non-attorney MSHA specialists resolve or adjudicate select enforcement disputes with mine operators arising from citations under the Mine Act. The use of the ACRI process has spread to every type of citation except where serious, disabling or fatal injuries are involved. The ACRI Workshop is a two and a half day seminar covering the legal and procedural processes involved in field inspections, citations and ACRI resolution. The ACRI workshop provides mine operators and their representatives the skills necessary to participate in the ACRI process without outside legal representation. Attorneys from Patton Boggs LLP, a preeminent Washington D.C. based firm, provide insight into MSHA laws, research techniques and litigation procedures. Participants learn how to organize and present legal arguments and receive a manual with form pleadings useful in preparing for settlement conferences and proceedings with Administrative Law Judges. The ACRI Seminar will take place March 27-29, 2012 at Radisson Hotel & Conference Center Green Bay in Green Bay, WI. The cost to attend is $625 per person. More information on the seminar can be found at www.catamountconsultingllc.com or by calling Catamount Consulting at 518-623-2352. Catamount Consulting LLC provides comprehensive on and off site training in all facets of MSHA, OSHA and Workzone Safety, as well as company management training and motivational presentations. The firm has locations in Warrensburg, NY, Curwensville, PA and Kunkletown, PA.

PACA conducts Pervious Concrete Summit The Pennsylvania Aggregates and Concrete Association (PACA) recently conducted a Pervious Concrete Summit in State College, PA. The purpose of the event was to update the ready mixed concrete industry in Pennsylvania on the latest technology improvements and specifications in the field of pervious concrete. Pervious concrete is a ‘no fines’ concrete mix which is intended for use as an open graded drainage material. The elimination of fine aggregate creates a fairly large void structure between the coarse aggregate particles, resulting in a concrete mix that is permeable to water. A typical pervious concrete mix will have a void content of 15 to 35 percent. The compressive strength of pervious concrete can range anywhere from 500 to 3000 psi. It can be used for light duty pavement in situations where it is desirable to have stormwater percolate through the pavement into the permeable base. Drainage rates will vary with aggregate size and density of the mix, but will commonly fall into the range of 3 to 5 gallons per minute, per square foot. It is particularly useful in areas where state or local regulations require that stormwater be retained on site to recharge the groundwater system. The technology continues to draw attention within the design community, and concrete producers and contrac-
tors across the Commonwealth should prepare themselves for the opportunities that will present themselves. This Summit brought some of the brightest minds in the business to State College to share their expertise. Speakers for the event included: Dr. Colin Lobo P.E. (V.P. Engineering NRMCA), Matt Offenberg P.E. (chairman ACI 522 Committee — Pervious Concrete, Grace Construction Products) and Dave Mitchell (Bunyan Industries). The topics they covered started with proper mix design proportioning, proceeded to testing and specifications, and ended with a discussion on placement techniques and considerations. In addition, two contractors, John Bazella (J. Bazella Concrete Construction) and Jim Engelman (Engelman Construction) joined the other presenters in a panel discussion regarding their experiences constructing pervious concrete projects. Following the presentations and panel discussion, attendees traveled to a local concrete producers (Centre Concrete) facility for a placement of pervious concrete. Based on the positive comments that were heard throughout the event, it appears that the industry was well served by the day’s activities.

Time for Washington to do more than talk about infrastructure and job creation statement on State of the Union Address from Dennis Slater, president of Association of Equipment Manufacturers. Last night President Obama spoke about the urgent need for growth in American manufacturing: “We have a huge opportunity, at this moment, to bring manufacturing back. But we have to seize it. Tonight, my message to business leaders is simple: Ask yourselves what you can do to bring jobs back to your country, and your country will do everything we can to help you succeed.” America’s manufacturers are working hard every day to bring jobs back to this country by investing in our workers, our facilities and our operations to strengthen and revitalize our industries. What we need from Washington to help our efforts succeed is an infrastructure program that will help U.S. manufacturers complete globally. It is time for Congress and the Administration to pass a fully funded highway bill and not more short term stop gap measures. We continue to see bipartisan rhetoric from both the Administration and mem-
bers of Congress supporting job creation through infrastructure investment, but still no action has been taken. Last night President Obama insisted for the second year in a row that we need to “do some nation building right here at home.” America’s manufacturers are done with rhetoric, and ready for action. There is no one piece of legislation now before Congress that could do more to immediately create jobs and sharpen U.S. competitiveness than the highway bill. Instead of long term reauthorization of funds to pay for much needed investment in our crumbling roads and bridges, Congress has kicked the can down the road eight different times, passing yet another six month extension. As our global competitors know, 21st century roads and bridges are not made six months at a time. We also urge the President to reconsider his decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. America’s future depends on economic growth and energy security, and we cannot afford to reject the tremendous potential for both that large scale, strategic infrastructure projects such as Keystone represent. On the jobs front alone, the pipeline would create

more than 120,000 jobs, including more than 20,000 high wage jobs in the construction and manufacturing industries where the unemployment rate is staggering. Republicans and Democrats agree that without a thriving manufacturing base, our nation’s economy cannot improve, but they aren’t doing anything serious to address this. America’s manufacturers look to Congress and the Administration to move beyond the rhetoric and begin rebuilding and modernizing America’s infrastructure. Americans deserve more than just talk, they want jobs and a crucial investment in our global competitiveness. ‘I Make America’ is supported by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and its 850 plus member companies.

Graymont from 26
Our tour guide, Casey Rhodes, is a mining engineer and was instrumental in designing the new crusher and conveyor system that is due to be installed in 2012. continually working to upgrade the plant in various ways. New kilns were added in 2005 and in 2008. As a result, the facility is currently on track to process nearly two million tons of stone in 2012. Underground Tour As we toured the above ground portion of the plant before heading underground, Casey Rhodes, one of Graymont’s mining engineers and our tour guide for the afternoon, pointed out some of the innovative features of the plant. They included the bell shaped preheater and the power generation plant that uses heat from Kiln 7 to turn steam power turbines that generates up to three Megawatts of electrical power that is transmitted to the electrical power grid. This resourceful use of the excess heat from the kiln, demonstrates another way that Graymont looks for ways to conserve energy and resources. Pointing to a large stockpile of material currently considered a byproduct of the operation, Rhodes said that this material is sold for soil remediation. He said in the future, they will be able to more efficiently blend kiln feed material to deliver a more consistent lime product to Graymont’s customers. As we headed underground, Rhodes explained that with the new design of the crusher and conveyor system, additional mining will be needed for the installation. He said that most of new conveyor will be installed through existing excavations with some of the conveyor corridor going through existing pillars. As a result, the mine’s roof will have to be re-bolted to ensure worker safety and future mining needs. More than 18,000 new roof bolts are scheduled to be installed between now and the completion of the
As we head underground, we are required to sign in and sign out, as an added safety precaution. We each received a metal disc from the tags seen behind our guide Casey Rhodes on the right. Sam Baker signs in as Casey prepares to give him tag number 5.
The Standard Cut for the Pleasant Gap, PA Graymont mine was originally made in 1951. The inset photo is a close up of one of two air intake portals that are used to supply fresh air into the mine. The entrance to the mine is beyond the building in the distance on the far left. project. He added that once the system is completed, the current haul truck access will be maintained for the entrance and egress of equipment into the underground work area. Rhodes said that he works closely with the engineering firms that are responsible for the design work of the new system so he is eager for the work to get under way. The high tension belt system and crushers will be installed by DMC Mining Services and will take the better part of one year to complete.
With the addition of the new system, Rhodes said that the improved efficiencies that will come from moving the primary and secondary crushing closer to the mine face will help improve production efficiencies above ground as well. For the 150 employees that make up the Graymont PA workforce, the coming years look to be busy and exciting.

PALM DESER T, CA — The National Asphalt Pavement Association has released a report on life cycle cost analysis procedures which examines in depth the concept of the material specific discount rate. “Material Specific Discount Rate: Inappropriate for
Life Cycle Cost Analysis” (NAPA Special Report 203) outlines standard and customary life cycle cost analysis models. It also shines a light on a “material specific discount rate,” which is being promoted by the cement and concrete industries.
NAPA’s report reveals that the material specific discount rate is not a concept economists use or accept. Instead, it was suggested in a 2011 report as a computational work around by the Concrete Sustainability Hub (CSH). The CSH, located at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is funded by the Portland Cement Association and the National Ready Mixed Concrete Association. The CSH report is being used to support legislation in Congress mandating the use of a material specific dis-
count rate in life cycle cost analyses when comparing alternative designs for publicly funded projects, including pavements, bridges and buildings. If adopted, a material specific discount rate could skew life cycle cost analyses for construction materials, including asphalt, concrete, steel, wood and plastics. “NAPA opposes asking Congress to mandate a life cycle cost procedure which is not accepted by economists and which tilts the playing field in favor of one construction material,” said Mike Acott, NAPA president. “NAPA supports the use of life cycle cost analysis by engineers who are charged with managing public dollars. What we do not support is the idea that Congress should become the engineering arm of government.” NAPA’s report points out that life cycle costing is already standard practice in state departments of transportation, and that the Federal Highway Administration has in place a well vetted LCCA procedure. The material specific discount rate promoted by the concrete and cement industries would be an unwarranted departure from the accepted practices of economists. NAPA agrees that periodic review of LCCA procedures is wise, so long as such reviews are conducted by knowledgeable economists in consultation with industry experts. Additionally, the NAPA study finds that the use of material specific discount rates is not accepted as a valid practice in economics; that the CSH model makes an un-
supportable leap in attempting to use short term price information to calculate future inflation over periods as long as half a century; and that it applies inaccurate and overly simplistic calculations when determining the standard bill of goods for construction of a highway. The special report was prepared for NAPA by respected economic research and public policy analysis firm Jack Faucett Associates in Bethesda. MD. The special report and a fact sheet summarizing the issue were released at the NAPA Annual Meeting in Palm Desert, CA. Copies and a summary of the research are available from the NAPA website at www.asphaltpavement.org/SR203. The National Asphalt Pavement Association is the only trade association that exclusively represents the interests of the asphalt producer/contractor on the national level with Congress, government agencies and other national trade and business organizations. NAPA supports an active research program designed to improve the quality of asphalt pavements and paving techniques used in the construction of roads, streets, highways, parking lots, airports and environmental and recreational facilities. The association provides technical, educational, and marketing materials and information to its members, supplies product information to users and specifiers of paving materials and conducts training courses. The association, which counts more than 1,100 companies as its members, was founded in 1955.

Haver & Boecker, W.S. Tyler and Major Wire form unique Global Screening Alliance ST. CATHARINES, ONTARIO — Germany’s Haver & Boecker, owner of St. Catharines, Ontario based W.S. Tyler Canada Ltd., and Montreal based Major Wire Industries Ltd. have reached an agreement to establish a global screening alliance starting on Jan. 1, 2012. Bringing together their collective experience of more than 250 years in screening and a broad product line involving vibrating screens, washing and pelletizing equipment and screen media, the alliance seeks to expand growth opportunities while further strengthening their current capabilities with customers throughout North America and globally. Representing its parent company Haver & Boecker, W.S. Tyler will initially acquire a 40 percent share of Major Wire Industries on Jan. 1, 2012, and purchase the remaining 60 percent in 2016. In North America, W.S. Tyler has
Canadian facilities in St. Catharines, Ontario, and Edmonton, Alberta and a U.S. facility in Salisbury, NC, while Major Wire has operations in the Montreal area and a U.S. facility in Puyallup, WA. W.S. Tyler management has asked Major Wire to manage its Salisbury woven wire facility with the intent to serve Major Wire’s extensive dealer network throughout the U.S. and in Latin America. All remaining operations for both companies within North America and globally will continue to operate independently. W.S. Tyler and Major Wire dealers and representatives throughout the world will also continue serving their respective customers and prospects as they do today. “Our alliance with Major Wire will prove to be a unique opportunity for two family owned manufacturers to effectively employ their combined strengths and expertise to the bene-
fit of the North American and global mining, mineral and aggregate markets,” commented Walter Haver, joint owner of Haver & Boecker. “It is clearly a win win for all personnel, sales channels, vendors and most of all, the customers we serve.” “A few years ago, I began developing a succession plan that would ensure that Major Wire would continue to expand and provide a long term opportunity for our employees after I retire,” explained Jean Leblond, president and owner of Major Wire Industries. He added that he has found a partner that shares the same values, desire to invest in the future and focuses on the customer first. W.S. Tyler pioneered many of the standards that the mining, industrial mineral and aggregate industries operate under today. The company has specialized in designing, manufacturing and servicing custom screening technology for more than a
century. It also has an Architecture & Design division that creates unique design solutions made out of woven wire. Since being purchased by Haver & Boecker in 1997, W.S. Tyler has introduced a new wave of innovation in screening technology while also branching out into environmentally friendly technologies, including washing and pelletizing. Major Wire is a leading manufacturer of innovative screen media, including Flex-Mat® 3 Tensioned and Modular and OptimumWire® Woven Wire, throughout the world serving aggregate, mining, recycle, asphalt, slag, green waste, top soil and related customers. Its most popular product line, Flex-Mat 3, revolutionized the screening industry more than 15 years ago and continues to provide solutions to common screening challenges while increasing production, product value and delivering a strong return on investment.
