CrewsLooktoCompleteBridgeProjectEarly

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

A Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project to construct the George Washington Boulevard Overpass in Ashburn, Va., is set to be completed nearly six months ahead of schedule.

The contract was awarded to Fay, S&B USA Construction (Fay) in November 2021. The completiondateofthisprojectat the time of award was originally May 24, 2024.

“The current finish date is November 16, 2023,” said Senior Project Manager Chris Pietrzyk.

This allows Fay to meet an important milestone, and the contractor will potentially receive a monetary incentive for being substantially complete by Dec. 23, 2023 — a deadline it is on target to achieve.

Doosan Unveils Re-Branding to DEVELON at ConExpo 2023

By Craig Mongeau CEG EDITOR IN CHIEF

An exciting rebranding of a familiar and reliable line of construction equipment officially kicked off in mid-January, but the products themselves were formally introduced to the public at the ConExpoCon/AGG 2023 trade show in LasVegas the week of March 14-18.

DEVELON is the new name for South Korean-based Doosan’s popular and diverse line of construction equipment. During the five-day trade show, Todd Roecker, vice president of growth initiatives for DEVELON NorthAmerica, was joined by DEVELON Senior Marketing Manager Alice Banach and many others to highlight the newly branded company and its equipment.

Banach said that the new name evolved by combining the words “develop” and “onwards,” which encompasses DEVELON’s willingness to move onwards to the future through innovation and to relentlessly change the world with top-level products and solutions.

“We are excited about it because it is something that we can own and claim rather than being part of another company,” she said.

DEVELON Brings New Machines to Las Vegas

To help build DEVELON’s product awareness, Roecker noted that his company brought more than 15 machines bearing the new name to the annual trade show, attended by hundreds of dealers and contractors from around the world.

“There are several DEVELON machines in one booth, and then we have two at some partner booths,” he said during the event. “By partners, I mean attachment makers that wanted to showcase their products on our machines. Additionally, we have our DX65W-7 mini wheeled-excavator, a new product in North America, at a static display by the ConExpo entrance.”

ConExpo presented DEVELON with a terrific opportunity to show off its new miniexcavator line, which many customers may not have seen before in the marketplace, according to Roecker.

Five models of DEVELON mini-excavators were on display at ConExpo, including a prototype of the all-electric DX-20ZE-7, a two-ton piece of equipment that is likely to be on the market next year. In addition, dealers and contractors could inspect the DX35Z-7, the DX-50Z-7, the previously mentioned DX-65W, and the DX89R-7, a new model for 2023.

But the new mini-excavator line was just one of many new DEVELON construction equipment that the manufacturer was enthu-

siastic about unveiling at the show. The others included new crawler excavators, dozers, an articulated dump truck, a wheel loader and a log loader.

The company also took the wraps off a prototype of its innovative new DTL35 compact track loader that is slated to be available early in 2024.

“What is neat is we get to leverage this major event to launch our brand on a global stage, but we also get to showcase how we are developing our new products,” added Roecker. “For example, we have the new DD100 dozer on display here, and the DD130, which will be available to the public in the fourth quarter of this year.”

He explained that the difference between the yet-to-be-released DEVELON DD130 dozer and the DD100 model are the sizes of the two.

“Larger sizes seem to take up a bigger share of the market,” Roecker said, “and the DD130 has a bigger engine, more horsepower, more weights, and more pushing power. It also has a larger blade, which attracts a bigger customer base.”

DEVELON Creates High-Tech Controls for Future Worksites

In 2019, Doosan introduced Concept-X, a comprehensive control solution for the construction site of the future. This forwardthinking initiative is now being utilized by DEVELON and will soon be commercialized, such as on the upcoming DD-130 dozer. In the meantime, the second generation of the manufacturer’s innovative technology was highlighted in the DEVELON

booths at ConExpo, Roecker said.

According to a description on the DEVELON website, Concept-X technology “can be used to survey worksite topography via 3D drone scanning, establish operational plans based on the topographical data, and operate construction equipment such as excavators, wheel loaders, and articulated dump trucks without humans at the controls.”

The goal is to create a work site where difficult and arduous construction work can be performed autonomously, thus leaving people free to concentrate on more sophisticated analysis and management tasks.

“We get asked a lot of questions about Concept-X,” Roecker said. “Our customers understand the concept of autonomous operation, but questions such as, ‘What are the brains behind it, how does it work, and how do you re-create the jobsite to become autonomous?’ are often asked. So, we are highlighting our XiteCloud technology, which explains how that all comes together with 3D mapping of the construction site and the taking of soil samples, and the technology behind dividing that jobsite into work groups and work zones so we can accurately measure the performance taking place.”

Machine With X-Ray Eyes

Another ingenious bit of high-tech can be found on the latest DEVELON wheel loaders to improve visibility and productivity for their operators.

The equipment maker’s exclusive Transparent Bucket option offers a supplemental view from a monitor inside the cab.

With an unobstructed view in front of the solid-iron wheel loader bucket, operators can see objects or challenging terrain to do their work safely and more quickly. The innovative system works by using two cameras — one mounted high and one mounted low — on the front of the machine. The system’s processor automatically adjusts the camera inputs into a single image that makes the bucket appear transparent on an in-cab monitor — almost like X-ray vision.

The imaginative feature was demonstrated live at ConExpo on the DEVELON DL320-7 wheel loader, Roecker said, along with “our all around View Monitoring System’s object detection, so if there is an object or a person that is approaching that machine, it will highlight them as a danger so the operator knows that he or she needs to shut down the machine or stop running it for optical safety.”

Not surprisingly, DEVELON’s autonomous equipment works due to a lot of programming taking place before their use, but as operators increasingly become more productive, they can learn to run it a bit more manually.

“We spent a lot of time programming the work zones, programming the limits that they want as operators, such as the amount of material, and the height or depth that needs to be dug to move material,” Roecker added. “And then, the system does it through DEVELON’s proprietary global satellite software.”

Complex-X does not employ artificial intelligence (AI) when it comes to autonomous operations, he said, but it does help measure a machine’s identified failure points.

“We can set limits on the failure points, meaning that if you want to get to a 70 percent, 80 percent, or 90 percent failure point, AI can trigger an alarm that a technician is needed or that a part needs to be ordered and dispatched to the job site to fix that machine before it is critical and shut down,” according to Roecker.

After Conexpo attendees inspected all the inventive hardware and clever features found on DEVELON’s new and upcoming construction equipment, Banach and Roecker heard an overwhelming number of positive comments about the manufacturer’s re-branding and the machines from construction professionals, said Banach.

“The dealers are giving great feedback about us being our own brand, which is really what DEVELON is all about, along with producing innovative products,” she explained. “I am glad the dealers are excited, and I think our customers, as 2023 progresses into 2024, are going to be thrilled about all the new models and what we have to offer.”

An exciting rebranding of a familiar and reliable line of construction equipment officially kicked off in mid-January, but the products themselves were formally introduced to the public at the ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

CrewsImplodeSpanofW.Va.’sSouthFairmontArchBridges

Officials with the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) are calling the recent implosion of one of the two South FairmontArch Bridges a huge milestone in the agency’s $72.5 million Interstate 79 widening project.

The southbound portion of the South Fairmont bridges in Marion County was demolished on March 22 as part of the massive freeway project.

The bridges span the Tygart River near I-79’s White Hall exit. The southbound structure was built in 1960, followed by construction of the northbound bridge in 1966.

When complete, WVDOT’s interstate widening project will run from Harrison County northward to the Pennsylvania state line.

The section of I-79 in Marion County from the South Fairmont exit to the Pleasant Valley exit, where the South Fairmont Arch Bridges bring traffic over the river, is being expanded to three lanes in each direction by Pa.-based Swank Construction.

Shannon North, a senior blaster with Veit & Company Inc., the Minnesota subcontractor in charge of the demolition, went door to door to notify nearby residents prior to the implosion, while Swank Construction had two boats on the Tygart River to stop boat traffic.

The southbound portion of the South Fairmont bridges in Marion County was demolished on March 22 as part of the massive freeway project.

Relationships, Trust Drive Savannah Civil Sitework’s Success

Savannah Civil Sitework of Syracuse, N.Y., was founded in 2010 by Peter Iwanicki. Its market extends from Binghamton, N.Y., north to Watertown, N.Y., and from Rochester, N.Y., east to Utica, N.Y.

Iwanicki had a significant history in the industry prior to opening his own company, including decades doing site work for other central New York contractors. But he had long dreamed of owning his own civil excavating and site work company and, in 2010, the opportunities presented themselves to make it possible.

The typical project for Savannah Civil Sitework involves managing the entirety of a project from the site clearing and utility installation to pouring the pads if necessary. Jobs usually cost upwards of $500,000.

Through years of working in the industry, Iwanicki had developed relationships and a strong reputation with developers throughout the central New York region. These same developers were willing to work with him right out of the gate when Savannah Civil Sitework was started, and as a result the company has generally had a strong book of business from day one.

Recent projects have included North Syracuse Storage, a high-rise storage complex that involved a huge undercut and a 6,000-ton granular pad and was completed last year. Another project in the works is a housing project in Cazenovia, N.Y., called Caz Barns Apartments, which involves access roads, utilities and four buildings each with 16 apartments. Iwanicki just completed a $1.3 million phase of the construction and is in the process of starting another $1.1 million phase.

Iwanicki has an optimistic outlook for the next couple of years of growth for his com-

pany, despite increasing interest rates. The Syracuse area has major infrastructure projects planned around Interstate 81 and the 481 beltway and there are some major industries moving into the area that could offset other economic impacts that would other-

wise slow the economy.

In 2022, the company had a strong year, due in part to weather conditions. Unlike 2021, when rain was a factor most of the year, Mother Nature cooperated in 2022 and allowed projects to be completed in a far

more efficient manner. For instance, at the Caz Barns Apartments project, the company moved 15,000 tons of material, which would not have been possible the previous year.

To meet their excavating and earthmoving objectives Iwanicki needs a reliable fleet of excavating equipment. For his excavators he uses Volvo from Alta Equipment, including a Volvo ECR235, a Volvo ECR220, a Volvo ECR200, a Volvo ECR145 and a Volvo ECR88.

When asked about his excavator fleet, Iwanicki replied, “If you are moving dirt, and putting in utility lines, obviously excavators are a key tool and very important to us. Most of our excavators are relatively new so it’s hard to tell how they will hold up in the long run. However, we just traded in a 2014 Volvo 235 size machine for a new ECR235 that had held up very well for eight years.”

Support and value are important parts of the equation, Iwanicki said, adding that parts availability has been great and has not been horribly impacted by the pandemic supply chain.

“The pricing has been good,” he said.

To meet the company’s excavating and earthmoving objectives, Peter Iwanicki needs a reliable fleet of excavating equipment.

Cleveland Brothers Celebrates

75 Years as a Caterpillar Dealer

Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co. Inc., a Cat dealer serving Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and western Maryland, is celebrating 75 years in business.

Founded in 1948, when brothers Bob and Roy Cleveland took over the Cat dealership in central Pennsylvania, Cleveland Brothers is now a third generation, family-owned company with Jay Cleveland Jr. serving as president and chief executive officer. The future of the company looks bright as a fourth generation of the family — Jay “TJ” Cleveland III and Thomas “Tommy” Kirchhoff — has joined the company.

Since 1948, Cleveland Brothers has grown and expanded to serve 59 counties in Pennsylvania, 17 counties in West Virginia and two counties in Maryland. This expansion included the acquisition of Beckwith Machinery, a Cat dealer based in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, and One Call Rentals, a network of Cat Rental Stores in western Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia.

“Celebrating 75 years as a Cat dealer is a significant achievement, and we couldn’t have done it without our employees and loyal customers,” said Jay Cleveland Jr. “We have a proud history of supporting customer growth and success. I attribute the company’s success to the values my grandfather instilled 75 years ago — safety, integrity, commitment, teamwork and excellence.”

Cleveland Brothers offers equipment sales, rental, parts and service to a diverse customer base, spanning construction, oil and gas, mining, power generation and transportation industries. To meet the unique customer needs, Cleveland Brothers has increased capabilities to include a technology division, SITECHAllegheny; a dedicated hydraulics, machining and chroming shop, CB HYMAC; a crushing and screening division, CB Con-Agg; and is part of a nationwide truck parts and service network, RIG360.

Jay Cleveland Jr. sees the company adapting its capabilities and expanding into new industries to continue to meet customers’ needs in 2023 and beyond.

“From the time Cleveland Brothers first opened for business in 1948, until now, many things have changed, but one thing has remained the same — a commitment to help our customers succeed,” he said.

To coincide with the anniversary, a yearlong celebration is planned at the company with customer open houses and employee appreciation events.

Cleveland Brothers, headquartered in Murrysville, Pa., has more than 1,300 employees at 29 locations, including shop and field technicians, sales representatives, parts specialists and office professionals. For more information, visit www.ClevelandBrothers.com. 

Earthborne Hosts Open House at Warrington, Pa., Facility

Earthborne Inc. President Doug Taylor wants it known his company is a one-stop shop for any and all equipment needs. From buying and selling to servicing equipment and everything in between, the Warrington, Pa.-based equipment dealer let guests take a peak behind the curtains and learn about the new facility and how every aspect was developed with the customer and its trucks and equipment in mind.

In association with the Upper Montgomery-Bucks Community Affairs Association (UMBCAA), Earthborne Inc. hosted an open house on March 22 where attendees had the chance to see the latest equipment the company is offering, as well as participate in the rodeo contest where equipment operators put their skills to the test by maneuvering various types of heavy equipment through different obstacle courses.

“[We want to] show the facility and build awareness,” Taylor said. “Most of the people in the township think we only sell equipment, they don’t know that we service trucks, sell equipment and doing paint work and everything else. We’ve always been a one-stop shop. We want everyone to know we are one-stop shop.”

Among the various types of machines, the company featured the Energreen Alpha, a telescopic roadside mower, Energreen Robo, a remote- controlled mower that can mow on hillsides up to 55 degrees and the JCB Hydradig, a purpose-built street legal 25 mph wheeled excavator.

Guests also were treated to facility tours, machine walk around tours, trivia prize giveaways and a BBQ lunch.

“It’s their day to reward their team members,” Taylor said. “We’re just proud to be a part of the association and proud to welcome everyone to our facility.”  CEG

Fay, S&B USACould Complete Project Six Months Early

and Route 7 in Ashburn were connected with a traffic signal, but the intersection was closed upon the completion of the Route 7 interchange with Loudoun County Parkway. This cut off the northern areas along Route 7 from their southern counterparts, so when the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors met to decide how to improve the connectivity between these areas, they proposed the George Washington Boulevard Overpass, which will extend Route 1050 over Route 7.

“When complete, the project will provide access from Russell Branch Parkway to Research Place by installing a new bridge,” Pietrzyk said.

This will serve to reduce congestion issues the area is currently facing. George Washington Boulevard reportedly sees an average of 12,000 vehicles per day, and Route 7 sees an average of 93,000.

According to Katie Spear, vice president of marketing of Shikun & Binui USA, the project will involve the installation of a new two-span bridge over Route 7 and will include the construction of two abutments, a pier, steel girders, a concrete deck and parapet, MSE walls and embankment fill, sidewalks, roadways, waterlines and drainage.

The lanes for the overpass will be 11 ft. in width, with a 10-ft. wide shared-use path on the northbound side, and a 6-ft. wide side-

walk on the southbound to allow for pedestrian traffic.

These improvements will help mediate the congestion on George Washington Boulevard, as 8,500 vehicles per day are expected to use the overpass as an alternative by 2031, and 11,500 vehicles per day by 2041.

According to Pietrzyk, one of the challenges Fay faced during the construction of this project included “coordinating structural steel installation with traffic control along Route 7, which is a very busy three-lane highway.”

Due to the severe congestion of the road, at least one lane in each direction has been kept open at all times, meaning construction is working around highly trafficked areas, and workers have to proceed carefully.

Pietrzyk said the preparation of the superstructure for concrete placements during the winter

months and following winter curing specifications has also proved challenging.

Spear reported that the equipment being used to complete this job is typical equipment for bridge construction. According to Matt Holl, one of the project engineers, Fay is using Komatsu and Caterpillar excavators, Link-Belt cranes, Caterpillar dozers with GPS and Volvo loaders and rollers. However, Holl also mentioned one specialized piece: aTerex Bid-Well for paving the decks on the bridge.

Pietrzyk said that in the upcoming months “remaining work includes the superstructure deck concrete, parapets and bridge sidewalks.”

LeeBoy Debuts Prototype 8520C Electric Asphalt Paver

Leveraging a range of EV components and propulsion technologies provided by General Motors, with engineering support from Powertrain Control Solutions, the prototype 8520C EPaver helps showcase the potential for electrification in the commercial asphalt paving industry.

LeeBoy, a manufacturer of equipment for the commercial asphalt market, has introduced its first prototype electric paver with the 8520C EPaver, in collaboration with General Motors (GM) and Powertrain Control Solutions (PCS).

The 8520C E-Paver continues to set the standard in heavy-commercial paving with the proven performance operators have come to expect from LeeBoy coupled with the ability to meet the future demands of the asphalt paving industry, the manufacturer said.

“We know that the industry is making a move towards electric machines,” Chris Broome, senior product manager at LeeBoy said.

“What we wanted to do with the E-Paver is take an automotive grade electric drive system and match it with established LeeBoy components. The hydraulic systems on the EPaver are a mirror image of the 8520C that operators are used to, we replaced the diesel engine and LeeBoy integrated a compatible electric drive system.”

Leveraging a range of EV components and propulsion technologies provided by General Motors, with engineering support from Powertrain Control Solutions, the prototype 8520C E-Paver helps showcase the potential for electrification in the commercial asphalt paving industry.

“As GM pursues its vision of an all-electric future, extending the advantages of EV technology beyond our core vehicle portfolio will continue to play a role in greater overall

adoption,” said Travis Hester, GM vice president of EV Growth Operations. “This concept paver unit, created in collaboration with LeeBoy and PCS, highlights another exciting application and business that can benefit greatly from electrification.”

Enhanced Applications, Comfort for Operators

While the prototype 8520C E-Paver was designed with trusted LeeBoy features and technology like the Legend HD Screed, GM’s electric drive system not only helps contractors meet their sustainability goals, but also can improve operating efficiency and comfort.

“On the electric paver, contractors won’t be wasting fuel while idling,” Broome said. “Any time you put the machine in neutral, the paver powers down so you’re not wasting energy waiting on trucks.”

As an additional benefit, operators also can experience decreased noise levels while using an electric machine and the standard operating station they are comfortable with on

other LeeBoy machines.

“The controls feature our “LeeBoy Family Feel” and style,” Broome said. “They are standard to our electric over hydraulic controls so there won’t be a learning curve to jump in from an 8520 to this electric machine.”

LeeBoy was able to maintain some of the familiar control style utilizing the controls development expertise of Engine Power Source (EPS).

Caterpillar, Axenox Come to Agreement for Oxclaw, Bullox

Caterpillar Inc. announced the company has entered into an agreement with construction solutions supplier Axenox Inc. to acquire the intellectual properties of two of the company’s asphalt paving screed products.

Under the agreement, Oxclaw textured screed plates and Bullox modular screed plate system will be available options exclusively for Cat asphalt paving customers.

A significant departure from the industry standard, Oxclaw’s three-dimensional textured screed provides lateral compaction confinement to asphalt material. This improves mat density and smoothness as well as density at the joint to reduce compaction expense and improve chances of achieving pay bonuses.

Screed cast plates are made with high strength chromium carbide, delivering high wear resistance and longer life in the field.

A new way to secure the plate to the screed, the Bullox system reduces screed plate change time up 80 percent, from days to less than four hours, lowering costs and maximizing paver uptime availability, according to the manufacturer. After a one-

time installation of the insulated conductor plate, simple screed plate changes are completed using a lock-and-go system, eliminating the need to access and remove the nuts and bolts.

The Axenox screed system will be exclusively available for Cat customers and supported by the extensive Cat dealer network. For more information, visit www.cat.com.

Generation Z² Round-Shank Picks Improves Cutting Tech

The demands on cutting tools for environmentally friendly cold recycling and effective soil stabilization are extremely varied. Among the most important of these demands are high cutting performance, resistance to extreme impacts and maximum resistance to wear.

With the new, extremely durable Generation Z² round-shank picks, Wirtgen sets standards when it comes to long service life, reliability and efficiency.

Proven in Practice: Wear Plate With Grooved Profile Increases Efficiency

Anewly developed wear plate with a special grooved profile improves centering and demonstrably optimizes the rotation behavior. This ensures that the durable carbide tip is always ready to cut, and assures best possible carbide utilization, according to the manufacturer.

In addition, the grooved profile reduces lengthwise wear of the round-shank pick holder and extends service life by up to 25 percent.

Higher Resilience, Reliability

GOMACO Introduces New GP460 Combo Slipform Paver

GOMACO is building on the success of the GP360, a combination concrete slipform paver and placer/spreader on two tracks with the introduction of the GP460 for wider width operations.

As a placer/spreader with a 60 in. belt, the GP460 will accommodate widths up to 50 ft. wide. As a concrete slipform paver, the GP460 will pave widths up to 40 ft. wide.

It’s built on the framework of the GOMACO two-track GP4 slipform paver with the ability to convert the prime mover into a concrete placer/spreader. The prime mover is equipped with vibrator circuits for paving and auger drive circuits for placing.

Controlling the new technology is made possible with the GOMACO-exclusive G+ digital control system. G+ seamlessly handles the controls conversion needed for each application while also bringing onboard Machine to Machine (M2M) communication, sonic sensors, 3D machine guidance and more.

The GOMACO GP460 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine to efficiently drive the conveyor belt and distribute concrete across the grade. The high-volume, 60 in. conveyor belt can be mounted on either the left or right side, depending on job-site conditions and the location of the haul road. It has a discharge speed of up to 492.5 ft. per minute for fast and efficient concrete placement. A controllable material deflector directs the flow of concrete at the discharge end of the conveyor for placement accuracy. A d drive auger system moves the material to the center or outer areas and across the strike-off.

The GP460 is available with an optional sonic sensor system to monitor the concrete depth as it is placed. Information from the sonic sensors is utilized by the G+ control system on the paver using M2M communication to provide an optimum and consistent head of concrete in front of the paver.

The GP460 placer/spreader slipform paver made its world debut at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023. For more information, visit www.gomaco.com.

Wacker Neuson Expands Utility Track Loader Line With New SM60, SM120

Wacker Neuson is expanding its utility track loader lineup with the launch of the SM60 and SM120, which complements the successful launch of the SM100 in late 2021.

These versatile, stand-on utility track loaders are designed for operator comfort, ease of operation and to reduce maintenance costs and total cost of ownership.

These utility track loaders (also called mini skid steers or compact utility loaders) are the perfect fit for landscaping projects, light site work, grading, auguring, general material handling and much more.The step-up and go concept makes operating the SM series of machines easy to use and extremely productive.

The smallest in the series is the new SM60. This unit is ideal for rental and homeowner applications. It is powered by a 26.5-hp Kohler Command Pro EFI gasoline engine, which is easy to start, fuel efficient and easy to service, the manufacturer said.

The SM60 is designed for smaller, DIY jobs with 7.1-in. wide tracks and an overall machine width of 35.5 in. It has a rated operating capacity at 35 percent of 600 lbs., travel speed up to 3.9 mph and hinge pin height of 75.6 in. to reach into truck beds and dumpsters. Weighing in at only 2,760 lbs., this machine is easy tow. The SM60, with all its versatility is a great choice for the weekend warrior who needs to complete a to-do list.

The largest in the series is the SM120, designed for the professional who needs to lift, move and place more during their landscape, tree service and site work. Powered by a 24.7-hp Yanmar diesel engine, the SM120 has a rated operating capacity at 35 percent of 1,226 lbs. and a travel speed up to 5.2 mph, providing fast cycle times. The 41-in. wide machine is equipped with class-leading, 11-in. wide tracks providing ultra-low ground pressure to greatly reduce turf and soft ground disturbance, while also enhancing traction and stability for hill operation.

The SM120 also features an optimized radial path design that provides vertical path performance with best-in-class hinge pin height of 85.6 in., which allows for dumping into high-sided trailers, truck beds and dumpers.

A suite of features also have been incorporated into the SM120 to further enhance the machines productivity. The QuipGrip proportional auxiliary hydraulic controls mounted on the grip allows the operator to operate all three controls simultaneously to reduce cycle times.

The SM120 is the first machine in this class to feature ride control, the manufacturer said. Ride control provides hydraulic cushioning to the lift arms to reduce material spillage and provide a smoother ride. Operators can easily engage and disengage ride control via a grip-mounted button.

Completing the productivity package is the 14-pin attachment control that offers enhanced controllability for complex hydraulic attachments, such as snow blowers.

Common features to all ofWacker Neuson’s SM family of utility track loaders include the large, spring-suspended operator platform with ergonomic padding that offers comfort and stability for the driver.An operator presence system prevents accidental movement of the lift arm and travel functions when the operator steps off the platform. Additionally, the overall design with sloped hood offers enhanced visibility and the fine-tuned, forward angled joysticks position the operator’s hands in a neutral position, reducing fatigue. Front-mounted coolers eliminates hot or dirty air from blowing across the operator’s legs, improving overall comfort.

One of Wacker Neuson’s most successful product launches was in late 2021 with the introduction of its first utility track loader, the SM100. This machine has been quickly accepted in the rental market, as well as with contractors and has become one of Wacker Neuson’s most popular products.

With the expansion of utility track loaders to include the SM60, SM100 and SM120, Wacker Neuson is able to meet the needs of all its dealer and end user customers. Like Wacker Neuson’s skid steer line, the utility track loaders were designed and are manufactured at the company’s Menomonee Falls, Wis., facility and are sold in the United States and Canada through the company’s network of deal-

ers.

The SM60 has an overall machine width of 35.5 in.; a rated operating capacity at 35 percent of 600 lbs.; travel speed up to 3.9 mph and hinge pin height of 75.6 in. to reach into truck beds and dumpsters.

Powered by a 24.7-hp Yanmar diesel engine, the SM120 has a rated operating capacity at 35 percent of 1,226 lbs. and a travel speed up to 5.2 mph, providing fast cycle times.

ASV Introduces Two Forestry Compact Track Loaders

ASV introduced the VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry PosiTrack compact track loaders at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

The new VT-100 compact track loader is a vertical lift machine that excels in loading and grading applications in landscaping and construction. The VT-100 Forestry is suited for mulching, right-of-way clearance, site prep and more. The models include elevated comfort, visibility and performance features.

“The introduction of these two new loaders reinforces our reputation as a compact track loader specialist,” said Buck Storlie, product manager of the ASV brand.

“They are the perfect option for those looking for a little more power than the RT-75 without having to go to the heavy hitter of all CTLs — the RT-135. The lifting capabilities, pushing power and hydraulic flow of the new VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry is sure to impress.”

Power

ASV’s VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry come equipped with a 103.5 hp Tier IV Final Yanmar diesel engine and standard 40 gpm high flow. The loaders’ large line sizes, hydraulic coolers and direct-drive pumps transfer more flow and pressure directly to the attachment and reduce power loss.

The VT-100 features a 3,500-lb. rated operating capacity and 10,286-lb. tipping load while the VT-100 Forestry includes a 3,700-lb. rated operating capacity and a 10,571-lb. tipping load.

The models feature ASV’s Posi-Track rubber track suspension. Known for its smooth ride, the dual-level suspension of the VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry features both suspended wheels and axles, allowing it to manage every type of terrain and at faster speeds. The suspended wheels and fully flexible track conform to the ground, assuring maximum ground contact and traction, according to the manufacturer.

Performance

The new models include several optional efficiencyenhancing features to improve the operator experience and overall productivity. These intuitive features help improve productivity on the job site and level out the learning curve

for new operators to expedite the training process. The load-sensing system offers both improved efficiency and fuel savings. The system regulates the 40-gpm hydraulic pump, so it only produces what’s necessary to complete the work rather than using maximum flow all the time.

The work-tool positioner allows operators to create a preset for the angle of the attachment based on the task at hand, allowing return to position at the push of a button. Similarly, return-to-position technology complements the work tool positioner by allowing operators to set a designated height for the loader arms. The features can be paired together or used independently to adjust to the needs of the job site.

Operators can move material more quickly with less loss with the VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry’s self-leveling and ride-control features. Self-leveling technology uses dualdirection capabilities to automatically level the load both while raising the loader arms and — unlike many other CTLs — while lowering them. Speed-sensitive ride control offers operators the convenience of enhanced material retention at higher speeds without needing to actively switch the feature off while switching to more slow-moving applications, such as grading.

Auto 2-speed rounds out the efficiency-enhancing features for the new models. The feature allows the compact track loader to shift automatically between low and highspeed modes. This creates a more seamless transition between the two modes, providing operators improved control while working in tight places, grading or in other applications that require finite control, the manufacturer said.

Additionally, the compact track loaders boost jobsite productivity with travel speeds up to 9.3 mph. A low 4.0 psi ground pressure from both models allows smooth performance on sensitive, unstable surfaces.

Comfort, Operator Experience

The new models prioritize comfort and operator experience with 360-degree visibility and a 7-in. color display for improved convenience on the job site. The vibrant color display provides vital monitoring tools, shows the view from the backup camera, and integrates with service schedules and history for added convenience. Operators can work

longer days in comfort with a standard fully adjustable suspended seat. The smooth ride allowed by ASV’s Posi-Track undercarriage contributes to more comfort on bumpy terrain.

Aremovable roof hatch on both models maximizes safety on both models. The VT-100 Forestry features forestry-rated guarding around the light and radiator as well as a built-in limb riser. Operator safety is a priority with the machine featuring forestry-level operator protective structures, impact falling object and rollover ISO standards.

The VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry also will include optional remote-control capabilities. The remote is available as a factory or field-install option and allows operators to control the loader from a distance with a harness-mounted control box. The new feature improves operator safety in potentially dangerous situations such as on steep slopes. It also increases operator independence when they may benefit from a larger view of the job site during operation or the ability to complete tasks outside of the loader without needing to get in and out of the cab.

Serviceability

ASV stands behind the reliability of its Posi-Track loaders with a two-year, 2,000-hour warranty. The warranty includes a no-derailment guarantee and covers the tracks for the entire warranty period.

Ease of serviceability also will stand out to operators with convenient features such as easily accessible daily checkpoints and removable skid plates for quick cleaning when needed. The VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry include threepanel engine access plus a swing-out radiator that requires no tools to open for simple access to daily check points.

Just as the two new compact track loaders feature a Yanmar Tier-IV Final engine, the new compact track loader also incorporates Yanmar’s optional SMARTASSIST telematics system. SMARTASSIST features range from error detection and notification to real-time operational status updates and daily work reports. The telematics system also includes integrated theft protection, allowing the machine’s owner to set a range from a specific location and trigger an alert if that range is exceeded.

EWRS-HS Tire Could Be Game Changer

Evolution Wheel is known as a leader in innovative topquality heavy-duty skid steer tires.

The EWRS-HS series solid skid steer tire is the hard surface version of the EWRS-AT series all-terrain tire. The solid EWRS-HS skid steer tire is ideal for surfaces like concrete or asphalt making them perfect for new construction, paving and recycling operations.

Evolution Wheel knows that these types of jobs require excellent traction and longevity. So, the company set out to design a tire for these environments.

Evolution Wheel spends a lot of time in the research and development stage for its products, rigorously testing them to make sure they produce the right tires for the job.

To start, Evolution Wheel engineered the EWRS-HS series for severe duty applications where tire wear is the biggest concern. To do this it redesigned the tread pattern to maximize surface area.

The EWRS-HS doubled the surface area of the EWRS-AT Series to 66 percent to spread the weight of the machine out. This lowers the pressure per square inch on the concrete while extending its wear life significantly.

Additionally, the EWRS-HS series has the deepest tread on the market, measuring at 52/32 in..The deeper the tread, the more it can wear, increasing longevity as well.

These two features allow the tire to last 3 to 5 times the lifespan of a traditional pneumatic tire, according to the manufacturer.

Solid tires have a reputation for being rough on machines and the operator driving them. Evolution Wheel wanted to reduce driver fatigue and make it easier for operators to perform their jobs while enjoying a smooth ride.

To combat this, Evolution Wheel designed the EWRSHS tire with specialized core geometry. Referring to the apertures within the rubber. The specialized core geometry in these tires allows them to compress like a pneumatic tire without the bounce. The tread design also allows the machine to skid smoothly so the operator can push the machine harder and increase productivity, according to the company.

Like all Evolution Wheels tires, the EWRS-HS is a segmented tire. This allows the operator to service the tire right on the job site with just a ¾ in. wrench, replacing the damaged segment within minutes.

Experts Urge Implementing Compliance Programs Now

Jumping interest rates, volatile material costs, labor shortages and indecipherable project pipelines go with the territory.

Fraud can happen when economic uncertainty hits a company’s shaky finances and inappropriate action is taken to mitigate the chaos.

Fraud Crushes Contractors

Procurement and change orders threaten the contractor who doesn’t immediately and directly benefit from the fraudulent action.

In these situations, contractors don’t get a fair shot at hiring time, according to accounting firm Grant Thornton. They also can be hurt by cash flow issues when funds are drained as a result.

Theft is an even greater risk for contractors who must manage complex logistics while juggling myriad aspects of the job. Material prices alone over the past two years have incentivized asset misappropriation, said Tim Lynch, Grant Thornton construction advisory manager.

The situation has resulted in illegal resale of materials on the black market.

“The theft of valuable material directly affects a contractor’s already narrow margin” said Lynch. Insurance may cover some of the direct cost of the theft, but there is a significant indirect cost, he said.

“Business owners now worry about locking down their inventory and wonder who they can trust instead of focusing on winning the next project.”

When project-level staff are tasked with handling labor and wage compliance, violations can occur in this area. These managers and accountants are often incentivized to keep costs down and increase profits.

“Direct financial incentives provide a clear motivation for someone to commit fraud,” said Alex Koltsov, Grant Thornton forensics director.

And that’s why contractors need proper oversight to monitor those risks, he added.

Other factors that contribute to fraud vulnerability are remote job sites that are inherent in the construction industry. Remote job sites make it difficult to watch over assets and prevent theft, said Steve Thomason of business advisor LBMC.

Offsite work presents the ability to also conceal embezzlement by spreading out fraudulent costs over multiple contracts, he said.

Common construction fraud risks include fictitious vendors, ghost employees, vendor kickbacks and materials theft. Bid rigging, change order falsifications and cyber threats and data theft also can threaten a contractor’s business.

“While many of these risks are pervasive to all industries, contractors are uniquely susceptible to fraud schemes,” said Thomason.

Lynch and Koltsov believe implementing value-added solutions can prevent and limit fraudulent behavior.

“Implementing compliance programs may sound unnecessary, especially in an unfavorable economic cycle,” Koltsov said. “However, we urge companies to recognize that fraud increases during these fragile times.”

Failing to develop an effective construction fraud program

now can lead to huge financial and time burdens later, he said.

The best way to combat construction fraud is with management oversight, preaches construction payment software developer Levelset.

Give Diligence Its Due

In general, due diligence is crucial to a project, said Alex Benarroche, Levelset legal associate.

“Try to hire local and established contractors to reduce the possibility of fraud,” he said.

Inform yourself about local market conditions, availability of competition and bid pricing of comparable projects in the area.

“It’s also a good idea to familiarize yourself with their business structure,” said Benarroche. “Many times, subsidiary companies may be trying to conceal who the principal is. Know who you are working with.”

Designate a chief compliance officer as a communication point between contractors on the project and the owner/management team.

Benarroche believes the compliance officer should not only conduct initial investigations but regular ongoing reviews as well.

“Continuous monitoring is a simple way to decrease the likelihood of fraud,” he said. “Your chief compliance officer should have the power to conduct periodic audits and be able to review payrolls, invoices and contracts.”

Finally, said Benarroche, stay alert. “Fraud occurs when people stop paying attention.”

Implementing these measures early on in the construction project will help long-term, but staying alert will protect a contractor from fraud.

Violations can lead to lawsuits, which costs money.Ahistory of fraud can destroy a company’s reputation. “Always be vigilant,” he urged.

Asystem of adequate segregation of duties throughout the accounting and financial processes is what Thomason of LBMC advises.

“There should be multiple employees involved in the responsibilities for authorizing [and] recording transactions.” Multiple trusted employees also should perform reconciliations and access cash funds or assets, he said.

Thomason urged contractors to focus on internal controls and segregate duties. This way, “contractors can limit the opportunities for fraud perpetrated and concealed by the same individual,” said Thomason.

For instance, he said, reconciling billings and receivables should be performed by someone who does not have access to incoming payments.

“Carefully review line items and quantities on payment applications for any irregularities.”

Thomason also urged contractors to monitor the jobs-inprogress schedules closely for significant overbillings or under-billings.

Always obtain competitive bids for materials and subcontracts over a certain amount. And have an employee other than the project manager review supplier and subcontractor invoices, he added. “Require dual signatures/approval on all see RISK page 90

checks or electronic funds transfers.”

Pre-qualify subcontractors, verifying bonds with bonding agents and prohibiting payments unless surety bonds are on file. Also, watch out for lowest bids that are consistently awarded to the same subcontractor or supplier. Monitor the jobs in progress schedules closely for-profit fade to detect fictitious costs, advised Thomason.

Keep a close eye out for duplicate payroll payments and reconcile the W-2s and payroll tax reports to the general ledger system.

“Perform occasional jobsite visits to compare employee headcount at the job site to time reports and payroll checks/direct deposits.”

On the job site, compare material quantities purchased with the original bid. Reconcile purchase orders to delivery tickets and invoices. He advises clients to install security cameras to identify theft of materials and track and monitor scrap sales of materials.

“Implementing strategies in these key areas can help alleviate a contractor’s exposure to some of the most common fraud schemes,” said Thomason.

Contractors risk fraud or theft because of operating environment, long history of industry fraud and opportunity for fraud post COVID-19.

“Taking the time and committing resources to prevent fraud from occurring will pay off dividends in the long run,” said Thomason.

Watch for PotentialThreats

When it comes to details, attention is key in Grant Thornton’s suggested policies and practices.

The financial consulting firm advises contractors and owners to implement a program for business protection.

• Keep on dealing with the details.

Incorporate detailed cost estimates throughout the project lifecycle, the accounting firm urged.

“One of the best ways to stop construction fraud is to stop the slush fund from filling up.”

Engage qualified cost estimators and quantity surveyors who can deter fraud by monitoring market-reasonable pricing.

• Vet your vendors before project commencement.

Perform risk-based due diligence, said Grant Thornton. Identify potential conflicts of interest and assess performance

risk.

Recognize the regulatory risk in hiring a company or individual with a track record of law enforcement red flags.

“These proactive due diligence steps should be supported by regular site visits during construction,” the firm added.

These site visits for the purpose of ensuring the chaos is actually orchestrated properly, should be a regular practice.

• Fix your eyes on your high-value assets.

Implement enhanced oversight of your investments to

prevent inventory shrink and theft, urges Grant Thornton.

“Companies that are already experiencing unacceptable levels of inventory shrink should aggressively minimize the opportunity for theft.”

Companies that regularly hold high-value items also should protect against misappropriation.

Install video monitoring and access controls at storage and project staging locations. When scheduling staff in the logistics process, rotate individuals as you make regular assignments.

Perform regular inventory cycle counts to track any discrepancies between system records and supplies on hand. Confirm any allegations are investigated, remediated and communicated throughout your organization.

“These steps deter theft and reduce financial impact by increasing the likelihood that theft is uncovered quickly,” said Grant Thornton.

• Set labor compliance oversight policy from the get-go.

Incorporate a centralized system for oversight for labor compliance, one of the most manipulated costs on a construction project. Identify and analyze labor rate anomalies against requirements and address them with management, project owner and governing bodies. Companies that manage numerous projects should develop a standardized process to collect, process, analyze and identify labor insights, believes Grant Thornton.

• Build audit rights into the contract.

Contractors “should include strong audit rights in their construction contracts to deter inappropriate behavior,” said the firm. “Companies should message third parties that an objective audit at project milestones or completion is good vendor hygiene and not an allegation of fault.”

A third-party audit can trace not only which companies received payment but how much they were paid, notes the firm.

“An objective cost audit is often the most efficient way for a company to validate overbillings or unacceptable behavior.”

These solutions and techniques can help protect businesses, believe Lynch and Koltsov.

“The controls are just as necessary in a booming economy as they are in a recession,” they said. “But the potential for fraud at this time should cause business owners to pause and make sure their protections are sound.”  CEG

Tips for Recruiting Next Generation of Utility Workers Include Training, Equity

A shortage of skilled workers in the utility industry is an ongoing problem that will be made more challenging by the large volume of work needed to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, and a topic of conversation at the 2023 edition of The Utility Expo, Sept. 26 to 28, 2023, in Louisville, Ky.

The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed in 2021 includes $65 billion for upgrading the power infrastructure in the United States.

Ensuring a skilled diverse workforce for electric, natural gas and nuclear firms has been the mission of The Center for Energy Workforce Development (CEWD) since 2006. In 2021, they expanded this mission to include the workforce development needs of renewable energy, electric vehicle infrastructure, and energy storage.

According to CEWD’s 2021 Pipeline Survey Results, more than 600,000 employees work in Investor-Owned Utilities (72.6 percent), Public Power (1.4 percent), and Rural Electric Cooperatives (26 percent). In 2021, the number of potential replacements for retirements and non-retirement attrition for the key jobs was forecasted to be 44,000 employees over the next five years. This includes lineworkers, technicians, plant/field operators, renewable technicians, and engineers.

Over the same period, approximately 15,000 nuclear jobs may need to be replaced, as well as 94,000 workers for corporate and other field positions.

Jonathan Farroni, a Recruitment Lead with a focus on utilities with Actalent, knows firsthand the challenge of recruiting in today’s tight job market. Actalent not only recruits for utility firms but also provides contract workers and engineering services to the industry.

“People now have tons of options,” said Farroni. “We have to sell candidates on why they should work for us.”

Actalent currently has 750 employees in the utility space and is looking to add 300 to 400 workers to its staff this year. Farroni and Jon Hill, CEO of The Energists, a specialist recruiting and executive search firm operating exclusively in the energy industry, share their tips for recruiting the next generation of utility workers.

Differentiate Your Company Brand

With similar pay and benefits, Farroni believes utilities need to differentiate based on a strong company culture, exciting projects, and successful teams.

“We have to have a human touch,” said Farroni. “At the end of the day you have an employer brand and employee value proposition,” said Hill. “When those two meet you have happy people in the workplace and others want to work there as well.”

Since The Great Resignation, when employees voluntarily resigned from their jobs en masse in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, workers have shown greater interest in factors other than money.

“Not everybody changes jobs for more money” said Hill. “They are looking for a new way of working, remote work or hybrid work opportunities.”

StartEarly to Build Career Awareness

Both Farroni and Hill believe generating awareness for utility industry careers among high school and college students is effective.

“The best strategy is to engage at an early phase,” said Farroni, whose firm conducts seminars and hosts lunches designed to build awareness of stem careers in the industry.

“Companies need to be intentional about reaching young people,” he said.

In its 2021 report, CEWD advised utilities to expand career awareness initiatives among youth, low-income students, women, military and transitioning workers.

“Companies will be well-served to examine how they are presenting themselves to those unfamiliar with energy career opportunities,” the organization said in its report.

One of the biggest pros of the utility industry is security and stability.

“It’s very rare to see layoffs in this industry,” said Farroni. “When you come into these organizations, you are going to have a career and long-term stability.”

Focus On Diversity,Equity,Inclusion

Utilities need to continue their focus on diversifying their workforce. CEWD reports that women comprise 22 percent of the utility workforce, slightly lower than the previous survey, while minorities represent 24 percent of the workforce, an increase from the last survey. Farroni believes it’s important for utilities to showcase the diversity of their leadership.

“We need to change the messaging to be more inclusive,” said Hill. “Utilities can also look to outside resources to help achieve their diversity goals.”

Emphasize Training,Career Growth

One of the biggest challenges for utilities is an aging workforce and the associated skills shortage that comes with it. In a tight job market, utilities may not be able to hire candidates who are an exact match for the position, but with the right training in place, they can potentially recruit candidates from untapped industries. Investing in training and development is an effective way not only to bridge the skills gap but to differentiate your business.

‘We have a whole platform to upskill our employees,” said Farroni. “Training workers in new skills shows how we take care of our talent.”

Given that a lack of upward mobility and personal development opportunities are key reasons why employees leave an employer, demonstrating a clear path for career growth will appeal to many candidates.

SupportYour HR Team in Workforce Planning

According to Hill, utilities recognized as “best places to work” are giving their HR departments sufficient power to work on the brand and plan for the future.

Farroni also believes executive involvement is important.

“Our VP of Talent’s job is to make sure our people are taken care of,” he said. Similarly, CEWD recommends that workforce planning become a business imperative, prioritized at the highest levels of the organization. 

TheAmerican RentalAssociation (ARA) indicates that United States equipment rental revenue surpassed its pre-pandemic highs in 2022, ending the year as a $56.1 billion industry. The ARA released the updated first quarter forecast at The ARA Show 2023 in Orlando.

In 2023, the United States equipment rental industry’s growth will soften, but still grow. Year-over-year, growth in 2022 was around 13.5 percent and year-over-year growth is expected to be around 5.3 percent in 2023 and 1.9 percent in 2024. Despite a slowdown, positivity is evident among ARA members with large and small operations.

Tom Doyle, ARA vice president of program development, said, “In speaking with rental companies across the United States and Canada, despite some unprecedented headwinds, their businesses are strong. It’s generally a great time to be in rental.”

ARA’s third annual construction equipment survey, released in January, showed fleet growth in all 30 product groups. Rental

companies in NorthAmerica that responded are estimating a 58 percent increase in new equipment purchases. Of those respondents, 79 percent said their orders included mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and 59 percent said their orders included earthmoving equipment.

Federal policy and investments will continue to affect the rental industry, from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Acts to the tax policy of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act to $185 billion available for new projects.

“The outlook for equipment rental continues to be positive. With significant funding for infrastructure coming in 2023, the demand for equipment will continue to grow,” said John McClelland, ARA vice president for government affairs and chief economist.

“In addition, more funding is coming from the Inflation Reduction Act as we begin to build out the electricity infrastructure for both vehicles and equipment.”

AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION

North American Snow Conference 2023

Dates: April 16 – 19, 2023

Place:CHI Health Center 455 N. 10th Street, Omaha, NE 68102

The 2023 Snow Conference has it all, from expert-led snow and ice education sessions to an exhibit floor full of vendors excited to show you the latest winter maintenance solutions for your community. Make plans now to join your peers and take advantage of everything the Snow Conference has to offer.

Education Program

APWA’s goal for the Snow Education Program is to create an event where you can make meaningful connections and discover and produce game-changing insights and solutions.

APWA knows the challenges and opportunities facing public works are unprecedented. The speed of social and technological change places an enormous responsibility on you to proactively provide and maintain the infrastructure needed for your community’s growth and well-being. You need a Snow experience that will help you gain new perspectives, exchange ideas, and participate in important and thought-provoking discussions on the shape of things to come. We need you to arrive in Omaha prepared to ask the essential questions and share your views and ideas. Start thinking now about the following:

. What challenges are you facing that a solution seems out of reach?

. What leadership qualities, skills, and resources are needed to lead and manage the modern Public Works Department?

. What innovations and solutions have your agency implemented that would help the whole profession provide better Public Works services?

. What are your blind spots? Are you open to fresh and broader perspectives?

. How should we be providing Public Works infrastructure and services that are resilient and sustainable?

Don’t stop here – what else is on your mind? We’re counting on you to show up eager to ask questions and to join your colleagues in imagining the future your communities deserve?

APWA is committed to helping you learn from each other, and the 2023 Snow Conference Education Program will include opportunities for you to make intentional connections.

training, at first in Western’s automotive technician program, where she graduated with a 4.0 GPA, but it didn’t feel right, she said. So, despite the challenges of child-rearing and an 84-mi. round trip school commute, she went in another direction.

“I knew I wanted to wrench,” Norman said. “I wasn't happy with the small stuff. And right across the road [from the auto program]wasthedieselprogram.Ifigured,why not? So, I did it, and that's where I found the place I wanted to be. The instructors were amazing. Being a female, it's a little bit harder in the field but they did not treat me any differently,” she said.

“A wise man told me if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life, and that's what I found in the diesel world,” Norman said.

Upon graduation, she was hired full time at a Peterbilt six-bay shop and she couldn’t be happier, she said.

“I feel right at home there. It's a very great learning environment and as long as you’re willing to work and learn — then it’s kind of too easy,” she told the IEDA crowd. “The scholarship helped me so much, especially

with getting my first set of tools. That money helped me breathe a bit easier. So, I greatly appreciate that and everything you guys do. It’s amazing. I know all the students [awarded] appreciate it. Thank you!”

ThatÊs a Wrap

A final highlight of the business program was a unique panel discussion about Right to Repair that put four different perspectives and diverse industry angles of the issue on stage. Facilitated by program moderator Mike Marks, the group dissected the status of state and federal legislative activity, current manufacturerpositions—including John Deere’s memorandum of understanding — as well as predictions about where the issue will go from here.

IEDA’s closing party treated 200 attendees to an elegant rooftop gathering that included live music, open bars, cigar-rolling, bourbon-tasting and lavish spreads of gourmet food. Next year’s IEDA Annual Meeting is scheduled for Feb. 16 to 18, 2024.

Panelists were: Gay Gordon-Byrne, executive director of the RepairAssociation; Bob Redding, government affairs expert for the Automotive Service Association; Jared Wilson, a young Missouri farmer who has personally engaged in legal action against Deere over R2R; and Bruno Gattamorta,

On Feb. 19, 90 golfers (double the group from 2022) took to the links for a scramblestyle, 18-hole rounder on the Reunion’s Arnold Palmer course. Golf tournament sponsors were Wheeler Cat, Easton Sales

and Rentals, Robertson Equipment International and simex Baumaschinenhandel GmbH.

That evening, the closing Big Bash party, sponsored by Alliance Funding Group, Coleman’s Equipment Pty Ltd and MG Machinery LLC, welcomed more than 200 to the posh rooftop environment called Eleven, featuring indoor and outdoor-poolside spaces and bars where members networked late into the evening.

Acigar-rollingtablewassponsored by Calvin Group Inc. and a bourbon-tasting station was provided by Specialty Equipment Insurance Services. Live music sponsored by DGI Trading and Hall Equipment Co., lavish gourmet spreads, plus a warm, star-sprinkled Orlando evening made for a memorable finish to a production even Hollywood would be challenged to rival.
