Volvo Construction Equipment has developed the 23-ton EC230 Electric excavator and Turner Construction Company, a large multi-national, is currently conducting a pilot project of the new vehicle on a California project in Silicon Valley.

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

Globally, the construction industry generates green house gas emissions via diesel fuel powered construction equipment of all sizes. But efforts are ongoing to have construction vehicles that are powered by electricity, similar to the ongoing shift in the auto industry to switch from gasoline powered vehicles to EVs.

The construction industry, which employs a great number of pick-up trucks, will soon be able to purchase electric pickup trucks in considerable numbers as automakers put out new models.

In terms of heavy equipment, Volvo Construction Equipment has developed the 23-ton EC230 Electric excavator and Turner Construction Company, a large multi-national, is currently conducting a pilot project of the new vehicle on a

SR 37 Will Be Raised By 30 Ft. to Combat Future Floods California’s efforts to ensure the long-term resiliency of State Route 37 (SR 37) and San Pablo Bay received a significant boost with the infusion of $155 million in federal funding. The California Transportation Commission formally allocated the funds to elevate a key section of State Route 37 to guard against future flooding on a vital regional corridor that connects Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano counties and enhance habitat connectivity for San Pablo Bay. The $180 million project will raise the roadway by 30 ft. over Novato Creek by 2029, well above the projected year 2130 sea-level rise.

The $155 million allocation comes from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and is lauded by environmental groups and local leaders who have been calling for investments to support the long-term viability of the SR 37.

“This is a critical Bay Area transportation corridor and current projections are that it will be under water as soon as 2050 unless we act,” said Tony Tavares, Caltrans director.

“State and federal investments are coming at a critical time for California as we design climate-resilient projects like this to protect residents from flooding and the impacts of extreme weather events.”

The funding builds on a partnership agreement forged earlier this year among state and local agencies on a suite of commitments to implement near-term improvements to SR 37 while pursuing a long-term climate-resilient corridor that reestablishes habitat connectivity across San Pablo Bay. “Powered by historic state and federal infrastructure investments, California is leading the nation in rebuilding

our transportation system to make it more resilient to the impacts of climate change — with Highway 37 at the forefront of those efforts,” said Toks Omishakin, California transportation secretary. “Working with federal, state and local partners, we will continue to collaborate on solutions that will help this vital corridor, the communities it connects and its surrounding ecosystems thrive for generations to come.”

“We need to improve Highway 37 to make it safe for people as waters rise in the coming decades and to restore habitat connectivity across San Pablo Bay,” said Wade Crowfoot, secretary of California Natural Resources Agency. “This project, made possible through partnerships and this federal funding, is an important step forward. It will build climate

resilience, improve the safety of the roadway for people who use it and reconnect habitat across the baylands. It’s part of our work across the state to make sure critical infrastructure continues to function amidst climate change impacts.”

“We have fought hard to make these projects a reality and we couldn’t be more excited to start moving dirt and getting these infrastructure projects built,” said State Sen. Mike McGuire. “We’re grateful to Caltrans, the Transportation Authority of Marin and the California Transportation Commission for the amazing partnership. This is happening because of the teamwork.”

“This is an important step toward maintaining the viability of Highway 37 in the face of increasing traffic congestion and the effects of climate change,” said Sen. Bill Dodd [whose district includes the eastern portion of the highway].

“I look forward to partnering with Caltrans and Sen. McGuire as we continue to build on these and other improvements.”

The influx of federal funding is on top of California’s multiyear infrastructure investments in transit and intercity rail projects, safe walking and biking options and upgrades to the state’s economy-powering supply chain.

“I’m very excited about this project,” said Dina ElTawansy, Caltrans District 4 director. “Not only will it mitigate the persistent flooding issues on State Route 37 between U.S. 101 and Atherton Ave., but it also shows Caltrans’ deep commitment to working with our partners and stakeholders to find and implement the right solutions for the entire corridor.”  (Photo courtesy of Caltrans.)

Influx of New Projects Will Help Impacts of Climate Change Powered by an infusion of state and federal investments, Caltrans announced it has awarded $41.6 million in planning grants for 90 sustainable, climate-resilient transportation projects throughout California that address local and regional impacts of extreme weather events fueled by climate change.

The projects selected will help reduce planet-warming pollution, improve resiliency of the state highway system, enhance access to safe walkways and bike paths and increase natural disaster preparedness.

Nearly $30 million comes from one-time state and federal sources made possible by Gov. Gavin Newsom’s historic $15 billion clean transportation package in the 2022-23 state budget to further the state’s ambitious climate goals. Another $12.4 million comes from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. The awards will fund project planning and conceptual design efforts, helping move the projects closer to construction.

“California is at the forefront of planning transportation projects built to withstand the effects of climate change,” said Tony Tavares, Caltrans director. “By working closely with local partners, we can maintain a sustainable, adaptable and resilient trans-

portation system that will serve the people of California far into the future.”

In total, Caltrans will fund: • $20.2 million in sustainable communities competitive and technical grants to 56 local, regional, tribal and transit agencies for transportation and land use planning, as well as planning for electric vehicle charging infrastructure. This includes more than $8 million to fund planning for 21 projects that improve safety and access for people who walk and bike; • $18.1 million in climate adaptation planning grants — all from Gov. Newsom’s clean transportation infrastructure package — to 26 local, regional, tribal and transit agencies to identify transportation-related climate vulnerabilities through the development of climate adaptation plans, as well as project-level adaptation planning to address climate impacts to transportation infrastructure; • $3.3 million in federally funded strategic partnership grants to eight projects that will plan for comprehensive highway corridors, rural agriculture and highway safety, tourism demand, intercity bus systems, transit centers and other sustainability initiatives.

In addition, Caltrans awarded $12.5 million in SB 1 funding for sustainable commu-

nities formula grants to metropolitan planning organizations to advance regional transportation plans and sustainable community strategies, bringing the total investment in

sustainable transportation planning this award cycle to more $54 million. This wave of funding builds upon the Newsom Administration’s historic investments in clean transportation and sustainable communities. California has invested more

than $3.2 billion to improve public transit and passenger rail service this year alone, and most recently awarded more than $750 million to create more affordable housing and clean transportation options.

Funding Process Caltrans awards transportation planning grants each year through a competitive process to encourage local and regional projects. Applications are evaluated on how projects further state transportation and climate goals by identifying and addressing statewide, interregional or regional transportation deficiencies on the highway system.

SB 1 provides $5 billion in transportation funding annually that is shared equally between state and local agencies. Road projects progress through construction phases more quickly based on the availability of SB 1 funds, including projects that are partially funded by SB 1.

State Auditor Removes Infrastructure From ‘High Risk’ List The California State Auditor recently removed the state’s transportation infrastructure from its “high-risk list” after 16 years in recognition of the progress California has made in rebuilding and upgrading the state transportation system in recent years.

“The auditor’s findings are a testament to the substantial progress Caltrans, the California Transportation Commission and our partners have made as we work together to improve and rebuild our state’s critical transportation infrastructure,” said California Transportation Secretary Toks Omishakin. “This progress has been especially noteworthy since the passage of Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017 ― landmark legislation that ushered in a new era of infrastructure investment to rebuild California. Our elected officials and the people of California entrusted us with their hard-earned tax dollars to upgrade the state’s aging infrastructure, and we have delivered and will continue to make good on that trust. Coupled with Governor Newsom’s infrastructure streamlining package and a $15 billion investment in clean transportation infrastructure, along with recent increased federal infrastructure funding, our state is in an incredible and unique position to keep making progress and accelerate our transition to a cleaner, safer, more equitable and more connected transportation system that benefits all Californians.”

The auditor first designated California’s deteriorating transportation infrastructure as a high-risk issue in May 2007, noting at the time that a long-term stable funding source was needed to address maintaining and upgrading the state’s aging roads and bridges, reduce traffic delays,

improve goods movement and increase options for transit, intercity rail and active transportation like walking and biking.

That all changed with the passage of SB 1, which provides more than $5 billion in transportation funding annually that is shared about equally between state and local agencies. SB 1 represented the first significant, stable and ongoing increase in state transportation funding in more than two decades. To date, California has invested $18.3 billion in SB 1 funding in more than 10,000 projects in communities throughout the state, creating more than 237,000 jobs.

As the auditor notes, keeping California’s transportation infrastructure in good repair is important because it enhances safety and maintains the usable life of critical state assets, which currently consists of 50,000 lane mi. of pavement, 13,200 bridges, 213,000 culverts and drainage facilities and nearly 21,000 transportation management system elements (changeable message signs, meters, etc.). Caltrans already has exceeded the 10-year SB 1 targets in three of the four primary infrastructure targets and is making substantial progress on the fourth. Since the start of SB 1, Caltrans has: • Enhanced pavement on nearly 15,000 lane mi. on the state highway system so 99 percent of pavement is in good or fair condition ― above the SB 1 goal of 98 percent by 2027; • Fixed 1,512 bridges ― more than doubling the number of structures repaired annually and already surpassing the SB 1 goal of 500 additional bridges restored by 2027; • Repaired 578,285 linear ft. of culverts ― a more than

three-fold increase from pre-SB 1 levels ― and cleaned more than 1.6 million linear ft. of culverts so 90 percent of drainage systems on the state highway network are now in good or fair condition, in line with SB 1’s 10-year goal; • Added or repaired nearly 6,200 traffic management system elements, with 77 percent currently in good or fair condition and on track to reach the SB 1 target of 90 percent in good condition by 2027.

To leverage this notable progress in upgrading and rebuilding the state’s critical infrastructure, Gov. Newsom signed a $15 billion clean transportation infrastructure package as part of the 2022-23 state budget to further the state’s ambitious climate goals. These historic multiyear investments are improving and expanding transit and passenger rail service throughout the state, increasing safe walking and biking options, making key safety improvements that will save lives, reconnecting communities, continuing progress on the nation’s first electrified high-speed rail line and upgrading the state’s supply chain infrastructure to support a more efficient, sustainable and resilient goods movement system.

In addition to these historic state investments, California is receiving an influx of federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Also known as the “Bipartisan Infrastructure Law,” this represents a once-in-ageneration federal investment in the nation’s infrastructure to improve the sustainability and resiliency of the country’s energy, water, broadband and transportation systems. Since November 2021, California has received more than $22 billion in federal infrastructure funding. 

Volvo, Turner Partner to Test Capabilities of Electric Excavator PILOT from page 1

Young, acting president of Region North America, Volvo CE. “Both of our companies are industry leaders pushing innovation to build a cleaner world.”

Evan Walker, a Turner project executive, is very pleased to be associated with the pilot project.

“We’re really excited to provide operator feedback to equipment manufacturers and help support the low-emission equipment market,” he said. “This is definitely in alignment with our company values to create a healthy, prosperous and sustainable future for people and the planet.”

The EC230 Electric excavator is being put to the test on a light manufacturing reconfiguration project for Applied Materials in the Silicon Valley, where it will play a key role in the placement of deep utilities, backfilling, building pad excavation, compaction and material movement on site. The project is expected to be completed by October 2024.

Turner Sustainability Manager Emi LaFountain is anticipating positive results that will bode well for the future in terms of a greener construction sector.

“We are dedicated to improving the environmental performance and resilience of our projects, our operations and our business,” he said. “This pilot is part of our overall effort to reduce the carbon emissions of our operations.

Electrifying as much equipment as possible will yield a lower-carbon, quieter, healthier and ultimately safer jobsite.”

Many EV owners are able to recharge their vehicles at home or at charging stations avalailable to the public in cities and along well-traveled highways. The challenge for electric construction vehicles is having acces to sufficient power delivered on demand and effectively to the equipment on job sites.Due to their temporary nature, it is not feasible to install permanent charging stations.

However, this issue has ben dealt with via the pilot project as Sunbelt Rentals is providing a mobile, off-grid energy storage solution.

“A battery energy storage system [BESS] is ideal because the power can be quickly delivered to the machine with ease in remote locations without requiring the machine to move for charging,” said Brent Coffey, director, product line management for Sunbelt Rentals.

A 600kWh BESS will power a mobile fast charger that is

Volvo’s EC230 Electric is the first medium-size in-house-designed electric excavator in the industry

connected to the EC230 Electric. This will alow the excavator to be recharged over a lunch break to provide sufficient power for a full day’s work. The BESS, an emission-free and noise-free power solution, makes it ideal for portable site charging, supplementing combustion generators, and standby power for job sites.

Volvo CE is testing its electric excavator at other sites in North America, including one that is under way in waste applications at a waste transfer facility on the East Coast.

The EC230 Electric is available to companies in Europe and China and is expected to be available in North America in 2024.

The EC230 Electric is available to companies in Europe and China and is expected to be available in North America in 2024.

“It will join what is currently the construction industry’s largest lineup of commercially available battery-electric heavy equipment: three compact excavator models, two compact wheel loader models and an asphalt compactor,” states a press release for the pilot project. “Those six models and the EC230 Electric excavator have been shown on realworld job sites to offer the same performance as their diesel equivalents but with zero exhaust emissions, less noise and reduced maintenance costs due to the lack of an internal combustion engine.”
