Phase I of MoDOT’s $2.8B Improve I-70 Progresses

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

Although still in the first phase of construction, the Improve I-70 Columbia to Kingdom City project continues making progress, as crews work to update the I-70 corridor in Missouri. The multi-million undertaking is one of several in the $2.8 billion Improve I-70 Program that will widen and modernize I-70 across the state from Blue Springs to Wentzville.

“The construction of I-70 began in 1956, making it the oldest interstate in the nation,” said Nicole Samer, Improve I-70: Columbia to Kingdom City deputy director. “The Missouri Department of Transportation [MoDOT] has been studying the existing I-70 corridor since the 1990s and is working to complete all required environmental re-evaluations. The Columbia to Kingdom City section was the first to complete its environmental re-evaluation, making it the ideal starting point for our program.”

Smart Devices Allow Motorists, Construction Crews to Share the Road Safely

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The road and bridge construction sector observed the National Work Zone Awareness Week in April, recognizing the critical need to keep drivers, the public and construction workers safe in road construction zones.

In support of the industry, several states have announced the integration of smart technology into road and bridge projects to make sure everyone remains safe while navigating and working in these areas.

Connected work zone devices transmit real-time data that allows drivers to navigate apps that provide audio alerts as they near work zones.

Stoops Freightliner-Western Star Opens Indianapolis Facility

The new Stoops Freightliner-Western Star and Stoops Trailers regional headquarters

Ind., is a two-story, 215,000-sq.-ft. multiplex situated on 40 acres on the south side of

Stoops Freightliner-Western Star dealerships took big steps forward with an aggressive construction plan aimed at improving customer experience, facilities and development opportunities, including increasing employment opportunities and positively impacting the environment with a focus on energy efficiency.

The new Stoops Freightliner-Western Star and Stoops Trailers regional headquarters in Indianapolis is a two-story, 215,000-sq.-ft. multiplex situated on 40 acres on the south side of Indianapolis. The facility opened May 19, 2025, and a grand opening celebration is scheduled for June 19, 2025.

Halstead Architects designed the new headquarters, doubling the service capacity with 60 service bays that all have access to a 5-ton crane. The parts department is doubling its capacity, too, and will have a wider variety of parts with a drive-up will call, after-hours parts and a full set of amenities.

The new facility will feature a pet-friendly lounge, a dog park outside, a customer lounge with theater-style seating and a hush office. Business offices, advanced repair and maintenance bays, two expansive parts warehouses, training rooms and a dual-level parking garage were included in the design.

Summary of Key Customer Enhancements

• Doubling of truck service bays from 30 to 60 bays — all bays will have full-service capabilities to handle all repair work.

• Eight drive-in, service department write-

up/check-in bays.

• Doubling the number of customer service stations in the parts department to expedite the throughput process.

• Tractor-trailer parking for parts retail customers is increasing from five to nine spots.

• An enhanced driver’s lounge, with the addition of theater-style seating, expanded restroom/shower facilities and a pet lounge where animals can be kenneled.

• The inclusion of an outdoor pet park. The company plans to increase staff and allow new opportunities for existing employees. New hires include diesel and maintenance technicians, body shop and trailer technicians, office administration, sales, parts and warehouse personnel, marketing coordinators, database and IT administrators, as well as other positions.

“We are excited about investing and expanding our current operations in Indianapolis,” said Brian McCoy, president of Stoops Freightliner–Western Star. “This investment is focused on giving our customers a best-in- class experience. The new facilities will provide even more capacity to train and mentor our employees. We anticipate adding 50 jobs and will have expanded employment opportunities. This state-of-theart corporate building and dealership will reinvigorate this side of Indianapolis, and we are excited about the future.”

RP Rents Takes Delivery of First Magni TH

Telescopic Handler in United States

Magni Telescopic Handlers announced that RP Rents of Naperville, Ill., is the first United States dealer to add the allnew Magni TH 6.19 telehandler to its rental fleet.

“RP Rents’ early move to bring the TH 6.19 to Chicago contractors shows exactly why they’re a leader in their market,” said Matt Lyons, chief sales officer of Magni America. “Their customers will be the first to experience the compact power, precision and reliability that only Magni can deliver.”

Diamond Mowers’ Mini-Brush Cutter Pro X: New Standard

Diamond Mowers introduced the mini-brush cutter Pro X, delivering precision, power and reliability in one compact package.

Modeled after Diamond's brush cutter Pro X, the minibrush cutter Pro X is engineered to provide stand-on users — from farmers and construction contractors to landscapers and land management professionals — with another tool for their equipment toolbox.

This attachment transforms a stand-on or stand-behind track loader into a powerful land-clearing tool that tackles trees, cuts through dense brush and grinds stumps to groundlevel, empowering operators to take on a broader range of tasks and jobs, according to Diamond Mowers.

“This attachment is engineered specifically for the miniskid steer market and adds a new dimension of capability that empowers operators to clear land faster, reduce manual labor and maximize their equipment investment,” said Nate Cleveringa, vice president, engineering and product management of Diamond Mowers. “It packs all the power and performance of our brush cutter Pro X in a streamlined profile designed for those who value relentless durability and optimal versatility.”

The mini-brush cutter Pro X features a spindle-driven blade system with 25 percent more cutting capacity than standard models, enabling operators to slice through dense brush, thick vegetation, and trees up to 5 in. in diameter with ease. The 42-in. cutting width is ideal for tackling everything from landscaping and property reclamation to urban lot clearing and maintaining parks, trails and forest preserves. The direct-drive spindle also delivers smooth and efficient power from the motor to the blades for consistent cutting performance so operators can handle tough materials without compromising on precision.

“The spindle system replaces the more traditional gearbox, which can be prone to wear and tear under heavy loads,” said Cleveringa. “This design reduces mechanical complexity, resulting in greater durability during heavy-duty operations.”

The steel construction of the mini-Pro X is 25 percent thicker for enhanced durability, according to Diamond Mowers. Furthermore, the offset design of the bolt-on attachment plate allows operators to shift the plate across the front of their carriers to minimize track marks that would normally be left behind. This is particularly useful for precision tasks such as trail clearing or vegetation management near sensitive areas and affords greater flexibility when maneuvering in tight spaces and working near edges, fences or other obstacles.

said Cleveringa. “It replaces manual clearing and empowers operators to tackle a wide range of tasks efficiently and reliably without needing to call in additional trades,” said Cleveringa. “This versatility leads to greater productivity

and profitability.”

To help protect operators and ensure long-term usability, the mini brush cutter Pro X also features:

• universal safety guarding — to minimize the risk of

injury while working in challenging environments, polycarbonate safety glass shields operators from flying debris and other potential hazards during operation, according to the company.

• hydraulic hose protection — hoses are enclosed in a thin spiral wrap, offering safeguarding, an enhanced level of durability, and resistance to wear and tear, according to the company.

• castle nut fasteners — providing an added layer of protection, the castle nut system locks cutting blades in place and positions them closest to the ground during operation. Under significant stress or impact, the secure fit reduces vibrations and ensures that, in the event of a blade compromise, failure is isolated to the blade and the attachment continues to operate safely, according to the company.

“Reliability and performance are crucial for professionals working in challenging environments and were top priorities in the design of this attachment,” said Cleveringa. “Field testing has shown that the spindle-driven double blades and castle nut system perform well in rigorous conditions. The design handles heavy workloads and minimizes downtime by reducing the frequency of maintenance and repairs.”

Komatsu C124 MY 2025: Enhanced Reliability, Performance

The Komatsu C124 has received significant upgrades for the 2025 model year, aimed at boosting productivity and user experience. Key improvements include a redesigned valve block and enhanced hydraulics for the feeding system.

Feedback from test customers who tried the prototype has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly noting the head’s smooth operation and efficient feeding.

Key Enhancements

The most notable upgrade is the introduction of a new valve bank, which offers improved durability, reduced wear and lower energy losses — resulting in fuel savings.

Additionally, the pressure control for the front and rear knives has been refined for greater precision, with adjustments now fully managed via software.

This allows operators to easily control settings like the knives’ opening pressure from inside the cab. The hydraulics for the tilt functions also have been improved, resulting in smoother operation and potentially

higher measurement accuracy during processing.

Advanced Length Measuring Is New Standard

To ensure high and consistent measurement quality, Advanced length measuring is now standard on the C124. This update includes a stronger cylinder and a modified mechanical stop to reduce wear.

New Saw Unit, Feed System

The saw unit has been redesigned with additional clearance between the saw bar and frame to prevent collisions. A reinforced, curved base plate enhances durability while reducing the unit’s ground footprint. The updated design also provides more space around the saw motor, making daily maintenance easier and more accessible.

The new feed system features high-flow motors that enhance performance and reduce energy losses.

The upgraded system also includes improved hose routing for easier

servicing and extended service life. An optional reinforced hose protection layer is now available to further increase hose longevity.

Additional Options, Improvements

The 2025 model introduces the “Find End” option, which automatically resets length measurements without requiring a new cut, reducing waste. The option has been updated with a protected lens and debris-resistant design for longer service life.

Other enhancements include improved centering for small stems, stronger bushings with better sealing for front delimbing knives, and new feed rollers with spikes for better grip and measuring accuracy in challenging conditions.

These upgrades collectively make the Komatsu C124 more efficient, durable and user-friendly, offering operators greater control, reduced downtime and improved productivity even in the most challenging environments.

New Caterpillar Tiltrotator Line Helps Deliver Costs Savings

The new Cat tiltrotator line helps to deliver cost savings by reducing the number of machines and ground staff at the site.

The tilt rotate system allows the attachment to simultaneously rotate 360 degrees and tilt up to 40 degrees, allowing tracked excavators to perform a range of tasks — digging, grading and compacting — with more precise movements without repositioning the machine. Less machine repositioning helps to reduce undercarriage wear and lower costs, according to Caterpillar.

“Our fully integrated new TRS12, TRS17, TRS20 and TRS26 models reduce installation time and show up automatically on the machine’s monitor, allowing it to be easily controlled by the joystick,” said Scott Rosengaard, senior product consultant, Caterpillar. “Our tiltrotators can be used with a wide range of attachments like buckets, grapples, compactors and more, allowing for higher machine utilization and improved productivity. Plus, the new standard tilt sensor delivers precise tilt and rotation angles to the grading system.”

the locking cylinder to verify the tool is correctly connected and securely locked to reduce the risk of swinging or dropping tools, according to Caterpillar.

High Efficiency

Cat TRS models feature a single grease point connection with the excavator’s autogrease system and the simple-to-use innovative lubrication system is developed to quickly distribute the right amount of grease to the appropriate points. Double-acting tilt cylinders fitted with a load holding valve ensure the load is securely in position, even in the event of the hydraulic system losing pressure. Providing maximum heat distribution, the worm gearbox is filled with oil for optimum lubrication.

With the new tiltrotator models, operators can change tools without leaving the cab when equipped with the full hydraulic coupler, enhancing safety, productivity, performance and efficiency.

New pressure compensated hydraulic valves manufactured with spools provide

These new models feature a standard high flow swivel, providing up to 200 l/min flow at 250 bar for use with high-flow work tools. Pairing the tiltrotator with a next generation Cat excavator that has a second hydraulic line boosts hydraulic flow and pressure to 250 l/min at 350 bar.

even better control of the hydraulic flow than previous designs, allowing the tiltrotator to maintain stable rotation speed regardless of tilt speed. A quick-connect interface provides fast hydraulic attachment changes. SecureLock uses sensor technology inside

A plastic cover with built-in electrical harness provides easy connection to the hydraulic valves and simplifies servicing. Frame modification on the new series reduces dirt exposure for the grading sensor, which is further protected by a metal cover. For more information, visit cat.com. 

CDE Plant Ushers in New Era for 75-Year Old Family Business

For almost three quarters of a century, the Duff family has produced and supplied crushed limestone, sand and gravel to all of west-central Ohio.

As the multi-generational family enterprise approaches its landmark 75th year in business, a new CDE wash plant, capable of processing up to 300 tons per hour (tph) of sand and aggregate, has been commissioned at the company’s Lewistown, Ohio, sand and gravel site.

“It’s an investment in the future of the business and in the future of the mineral production industry in the state,” said Ross Duff, president of Duff Sand and Gravel Inc. and vice president of Duff Quarry Inc. “It’s about honoring the history and heritage of our business and continuing that good work, ensuring we’re equipped and resourced to meet future challenges head on, and that we extract and utilize every valuable grain from our deposits. In short, it’s about longevity.”

Ohio On Top

In 2023, Ohio was ranked as one of the leading construction sand and gravel producing states, according to data from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). Of the 920 million tons of sand and gravel produced last year, the top 10 states by production volume accounted for more than 50 percent of the total combined output.

Similarly, USGS data shows Ohio as a top producer of crushed stone. Last year, an estimated 1.5 billion tons were produced. The 10 leading states, which included Ohio, accounted for more than half of the total output (54 percent).

An essential industry to support the continued economic development of the state, the Ohio Aggregates & Industrial Minerals Association (OAIMA), where Duff serves as an active board member, estimates raw mineral production in the state to be valued at more than $1 billion, employing more than 5,000 directly and up to 40,000 indirectly through associated construction activity, transportation and more.

Preferred Supplier

Duff Quarry first discovered CDE at ConExpo-Con/AGG in 2020, where the

washing experts left a lasting impression on the family enterprise.

“We believed technology of this kind was beyond our reach,” Duff said. “It was everything we needed and more. When we left that show, we left with an impression of CDE and its equipment that would stay with us for the next few years. We knew it would be a major investment — one of the largest in the history of the company — but we knew just how impactful it could be.” It would be another three years before the two companies would meet again at ConExpo-Con/AGG in 2023.

“By then, we were ready to move forward with this project, and CDE was still the preferred supplier all those years later,” said Duff. “That second show just strengthened our resolve to bring this project to life with CDE by our side.”

Duff Quarry Discovers CDE at 2020

Engineering for Duff Quarry

Ronan Duffy, CDE business development manager, said the solution engineered for Duff Quarry is born from proven solutions and designed specifically for its Huntsville, Ohio, quarry.

“Material gradings can vary from one day to the next, so any solution needs to be approached with real understanding of the customer, their needs and the material to be processed,” said Duffy. “A full site audit, including material testing in our lab, helped inform and develop the best possible solution for Duff Quarry as they begin washing material for the very first time. Equipment specification, site layout — it’s all considered in order to create an optimized site workflow that can help accelerate return on investment.”

The final solution includes CDE’s AggMax scrubbing and classification system, which combines pre-screening, washing, scrubbing, lightweight and organics removal and sizing on a compact chassis to produce a range of washed and graded aggregates ready for market straight from the belt, according to the company.

Alongside this, CDE’s M4500 modular sand washing plant, which integrates feeding, screening, washing and stockpiling, features customizable cut point control and patented Infinity technology to deliver consistent in-spec sand products, according to CDE.

“Seeing the first containers arrive on site for the build, that was pretty neat,” Duff said.

Increased Production

Processing up to 300 tph, the new CDE plant is helping Duff Quarry produce more material per year to better meet the demands

of the local construction market through proven design, efficient processing and optimized operations, according to the company.

A major construction boom is under way in central Ohio where the now $28 billion development of two Intel semiconductor manufacturing plants — the single largest private sector investment in the history of the state — is continuing at pace. A further $90 million has been committed by the Ohio Department of Transportation to improve and enhance infrastructure around the facility.

This is in addition to continued work on the development of a new lithium-ion EV battery plant in Jeffersonville, Ohio, as part of a $3.5 billion joint venture between LG Energy Solutions and Honda.

“Within a matter of hours of booting up the plant, material testing showed concrete sand output to be perfectly in-spec,” Duffy said.

The plant is producing a range of construction materials, including C33 coarse concrete sand, fine sand and three different aggregate fractions: 1-2-in., #57 stone and pea gravel.

“I was amazed,” Duff said. “The result was immediate. Right from the starting block we were producing great looking stockpiles. The plant is making sure we have a constant supply of concrete sand for our six ready-mix plants.”

Adaptable

Since initial commissioning in June last year, the geology and material quality of the limestone deposit at the company’s operation in Huntsville has changed significantly, but Duff said the CDE plant has been able to adjust easily to the new conditions.

“We’ve been extracting here for almost 75 years now. It’s a large deposit about 400 feet

deep, and it spans an area of approximately 400 acres. Given its size and scale, we know that the make-up of the material is going to vary and, down through the years, we’ve invested in new equipment and adapted our operation in response to this,” he said.

The deposit continues to evolve even today.

“It’s a different deposit now to what it was at the outset of this very partnership — however now we’re equipped with a CDE plant,” said Duff. “We’re really impressed by the adaptability of the plant and just how little intervention is needed from our side to make the necessary adjustments in response to variations in the material we’re processing.

“That versatility is keeping us up and running. It’s keeping us competitive and profitable.”

Phoenix Center Releases Agg Industry Economic Scorecard

The Phoenix Center released its 2025 aggregates industry scorecard on April 9, 2025.

The scorecard assessed the aggregates industry’s impact on the U.S. economy at the national, state and county levels. This is an update to the Center’s 2017 Scorecard, as it provides a new look at the economic advantages after the passage of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA) in 2021.

The scorecard shares that the aggregates industry continues to be a significant contributor to our nation’s economic well-being. The implementation of IIJA, which included approximately $350 billion for federal highway programs over a five-year period in states and federal projects, showcases the positive effects on the United States economy. The industry supports $171 billion in national sales, $55 billion in national earnings (i.e., labor compensation) and nearly 729,000

jobs across a wide range of occupations and industries.

“Our members provide and support the aggregates materials used for residential, commercial and government construction projects, as well as transportation infrastructure including roads, highways, bridges and railroads,” said NSSGA Interim CEO Michele Stanley. “This scorecard proves that the growth of the aggregates industry is necessary for the growth of our overall economy.”

NSSGA logo

The industry’s economic impact creates a ripple effect on the broader economy. For every job in the aggregates industry, an additional 5.95 jobs across other industries are supported throughout the economy. Each dollar of earnings creates another $4.95 of earnings in other sectors, and each dollar of industry sales produces another $3.29 of sales in other industries.

Kobelco Introduces SK260DLC-11 Material

Handler, SK260DLC-11 Scrap Loader

Kobelco Construction Machinery USA introduced two new SK260DLC-11 models that are purpose built for the waste and recycling market.

The new SK260DLC-11 material handler and SK260DLC-11 scrap loader offers more standard features, optimal comfort and superior perform ance, according to the company.

Purpose built to meet the demands of the those who require durability, reliability and high performance; the Kobelco material handler and scrap loader models carry on a tradition of quality, according to Kobelco.

Powered by a Yanmar Tier IV engine, both versions of the SK260DLC-11 machine exceeds performance expectations and meet all EPA requirements. The four-cylinder Yanmar engine produces 194 hp at 2,200 rpm and minimizes fuel con sumption at the same time.

The two boom and arm combinations of the SK260DLC-11 provide the power-generating capacities and working ranges to complete the toughest jobs, according to Kobelco.

The hydraulic system is designed with functionality in mind, boasting an eight-spool main control valve, four pumps (two variable displacement axial piston pumps, one extra gear pump and one pilot gear pump) and a boom-to-arm regeneration feature that redirects hydraulic oil and pressure between the boom and arm. Both machines have a 106.5gal. fuel tank and a 115.7-gal. hydraulic oil tank (tank oil level and hydraulic system).

Commitment to Safety, Comfort

A heavy-duty level II overhead FOPS guard is stan dard and can be tilted open for easy cleaning of the top window. In addition, rear swing flashers and rear work lights, a KOBELCO USA exclusive, are integrated into the counterweight for added safety and visibility on busy job sites. Seven LED lights also are standard to provide addi tional visibility in low light conditions. A standard 270-degree view three-camera sys tem provides optimal visibility for the oper ator.

The cab interference prevention sdystem is another standard safety feature that pre vents the arm from contacting the body or cab of the machine, using multiple sensors to create an invisible barrier that neither the arm nor tool can cross. Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed toward the operator to maximize comfort, and the jog dial integrates multiple functions into a single user interface with the large 10in. color monitor. This menu screen facilitates reading of important information including work mode, maintenance intervals and fuel consumption.

Although still in the first phase of construction, the Improve I-70 Columbia to Kingdom City project continues making progress, as crews work to update the I-70 corridor in Missouri.

In order to not overwhelm our industry partners, MoDOT has divided the expansion of I-70 across the state in sections following a schedule that would best allow for the best competition and contractor availability. The program will be broken into various contracts that will be awarded throughout 2029. Total completion of the corridor is anticipated by the end of 2030.”

The Columbia to Kingdom City project is a fixed-cost contract at $405 million. This number includes $123 million previously programmed by MoDOT for the I-70 interchanges at U.S. 63 in Columbia and U.S. 54 in Kingdom City.

Work began in July 2024. According to Samer, the need for new construction can’t be overstated.

“The safety and economic prosperity of Missourians depends, in part, on an I-70 that grows along with the state and nation. That’s why MoDOT is working to improve I-70. Today, many portions of the facility are strained beyond capacity, and outdated interchange designs increase delays and dampen economic activity.

“I-70 is a vital transportation corridor in Missouri, connecting the state’s two largest cities and carrying more rural daily traffic than any other route in the state. The 250 miles of I-70 through Missouri have been an engine for economic growth and prosperity. Missouri marks the distinction of being the birthplace to the interstate with the first interstate project under construction on I-70 in St. Charles County.”

Samer said traffic management is a chief concern for crews.

“The biggest construction challenge is keeping the traveling public moving with minimal delays. Anticipating impacts and

planning work to avoid disruption is a key focus for this project. Maintaining adaptability is one of the main ways this team is tackling this challenge.

“The Millstone Weber design-build team has committed to keep two lanes of I-70 open during peak travel times. Most work on mainline I-70 is occurring overnight, with various single lane closures. That said, traffic along I-70 is a dynamic situation. Motorists are quickly adjusting, and the design-build team is continuing to adapt to the needs of the traveling public. Overall traffic is responding well.”

Construction tasks include the reconstruction of the median of I-70. The current configuration has eastbound and westbound separated by a grass median with guard rail and guard cable in many areas, draining to the ditches. A closed median will require reconstruction of the median to include grading, base preparation, concrete paving, concrete barrier wall and reconfiguration of drainage.

“Seventeen bridges/structures will be impacted during the construction of this project for the I-70 expansion in this section alone. That includes a combination of bridge and culvert replacements, new bridge construction, rehabilitation and extensions. An additional six structures will be affected as part of the reconfiguration of the major interchanges at U.S. 63 and U.S. 54.

The project calls for traffic control, clearing and grubbing, erosion control, grading, hauling material, concrete paving, slip forming barrier wall, temporary and permanent pavement striping, bridge construction, culvert installation, MSE wall construction and relocating utilities.

Concrete paving in the median began in fall 2024. Winter weather has hampered the

contractor’s ability to pave during the colder months, due to specification restrictions.

“The freezing temperatures have affected concrete placement,” said Samer. “There is no efficient way to heat/control for freezing temperatures of large pavement sections. Bridge work outside of concrete placement continues through the winter.”

Work continues in Columbia on U.S. 63 to construct the two new bridges on U.S. 63 for the new underpass of U.S. 63 from Conley Road. Median grading has begun in different locations along this section, along with MSE wall construction and bridge work.

Approximately 450,000 to 500,000 cu. yds. of dirt will be moved during construction. Samer said minimal excavation has taken place.

“The only real areas that have started are off I-70 for the new underpass of U.S. 63 as a part of the interchange reconfiguration. Most of the excavation work on this project is related to the bridge and interchange work, rather than the addition of the third lane. This is due to the expansion occurring to the median, rather than on the outside.

Regarding the crossover in place along U.S. Route 63 between the Broadway overpass and the Conley Road underpass for bridge construction, currently south U.S. 63 traffic is being crossed over to the northbound side of U.S. 63 to allow for building the new U.S. 63 bridge. Once that structure is complete, traffic on the northbound direction will be moved to the south direction, using the new bridge, to allow for the construction of the new northbound bridge.

The bridges are necessary to allow additional mobility from Conley Road and provide an alternative to the existing triple left turn at the Conley Rd./U.S. 63 Connector intersection that’s being removed. To date,

traffic on Conley Road traveling to northbound U.S. 63, or to I-70 through the connector, takes a left in one of the turn lanes at that intersection. All of those turn lanes are being removed. Left onto Conley Road. from the connector and through to I-70 Drive will remain. The underpass will travel along the U.S. 63 lanes (east side) and merge back in at the connector.

A variety of heavy equipment being used on the I-70 Columbia to Kingdom City project.

This corridor project encompasses nearly all facets of highway construction, with the major items being earthwork, concrete paving and bridge construction. Concrete paving has commenced, and when the project is completed, more than 1.3 million sq. yds. of concrete pavement will be placed.

The project constructs 18 new bridges and performs rehabilitation work on five other structures. A sizable fleet of heavy equipment and the associated manpower to operate it will be required to complete the work.

All six lanes and shoulders of I-70 will be concrete with concrete median barrier. There will be asphalt in the U.S. 63 connector interchange. Steel will be necessary for rebar reinforcement. Most of the bridges include concrete girders, but crews will use steel girders, as well.

Samer said it’s extremely satisfying to play a role in the project, where construction continues year-round.

“I’m local to the area and travel this stretch of I-70 regularly, as do my family, friends and neighbors. It’s very rewarding to be a part of something that will impact everyone I know in such a significant way.

“This is a project that will only help grow this area and state. It’s greatly needed, and will be remembered for years, and hopefully bring opportunity.”  CEG

Small-Town Roots to Global Impact: Stellar Celebrates 35 Years

Stellar Industries celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, marking a legacy of innovation, growth and customer-centric service.

Founded in 1990 by three entrepreneurs — Francis Zrostlik, Jim Vlaanderen and Gary Bomstad — Stellar began its journey designing and manufacturing a domestic hydraulic hooklift. Over the past three and a half decades, Stellar has grown from a small-town operation in Garner, Iowa, to a global force in the construction, waste and work truck industries.

“We are incredibly proud of the 35 years of progress Stellar has made,” said Dave Zrostlik, president of Stellar. “What began as a small, dedicated team working tirelessly to create reliable, high-quality products has evolved into a company that impacts industries across the globe. Our employees have been the key to our success. Some of them have been with us since the very early days of the company’s existence, bringing their passion and expertise to every product we create. The company’s accomplishments reflect their hard work and the relationships we’ve built with our customers and distributors.”

Legacy of Innovation, Leadership

Stellar’s journey has been marked by products and innovations. In 1999, the company introduced its first telescopic service crane. Since then, Stellar has continually expanded its product portfolio, offering solutions such as patented aluminum mechanic truck bodies, tire handling equipment, hooklifts and more.

In 2023, Stellar achieved a monumental milestone by becoming 100 percent employee owned. The transition to 100 percent employee ownership has further deepened the sense of commitment and pride within the workforce, allowing each team

member to directly benefit from the company’s growth and achievements. Stellar now has more than 800 employee-owners, each of whom is integral to the company’s dayto-day operations and long-term strategy.

“This transition to 100 percent employee ownership was a game-changer for us,” said Zrostlik. “This shift has further cemented a culture of accountability and shared success, where everyone is aligned in driving Stellar forward. It’s a powerful incentive for excellence because every employee has a personal stake in our continued success.”

Growth From Ground Up

Since its founding, Stellar has not only built a strong foundation through the design and manufacturing of its own equipment but has also grown through strategic acquisitions that have fueled its expansion.

Stellar has strategically acquired other like-minded companies to broaden its product offerings and strengthen its position

within the industry. These acquisitions have allowed Stellar to expand into new markets and further solidify its leadership in the work truck solutions sector.

One of the most significant acquisitions in recent years was the purchase of Elliott Machine Works of Galion, Ohio, another rural American-based company that shares Stellar’s commitment to quality. By bringing Elliott Machine Works into the Stellar portfolio of products, the company added a renowned line of fuel trucks, lube trucks, water trucks, lube skids, vacuum tanks and other mobile service equipment. This acquisition not only expanded Stellar’s reach into new markets but also aligned with its core values of providing reliable, durable equipment that meets the evolving needs of industries across the globe.

Expanding Globally, Staying Rooted in Community

Though Stellar’s roots are firmly planted

in the heartland of America, the company’s impact is felt on a global scale. The company was recently recognized with the prestigious E Award for exports, honoring its success in expanding its global footprint.

Stellar’s presence at bauma 2025 in Germany, marking the company’s first appearance at the international exhibition, reflects its growing reach.

Alongside its global growth, Stellar has remained deeply committed to its local community. The company’s foundational values are rooted in the belief that success should benefit not only the business but the area it calls home. Since its 30th anniversary, Stellar has made several significant contributions to the community. These include the donation of a collaborative robot (cobot) to North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) to enhance its advanced manufacturing program.

In addition, Stellar’s commitment to local youth is evident in the development of the Stellar Sports Complex, a facility that provides opportunities for recreational sports and community engagement. By investing in the development of its local infrastructure, Stellar has helped ensure that its success not only benefits the company but fosters growth, education and opportunity for future generations in Garner and beyond.

Looking to Future

As Stellar celebrates this notable anniversary, Zrostlik looks ahead with excitement. “Reaching 35 years is an incredible milestone, but we’re not stopping here,” said Zrostlik. “We’re continuously looking for new challenges and ways to improve. The future is bright, and we’re ready to take on the next problem and find innovative solutions for it.”

Felling Trailers Delivers Custom Mobile Solution for FireLake Manufacturing

Felling Trailers photo Familiar with Felling Trailers’ custom manufacturing, FireLake contacted Felling for assistance with its mobilization project.

FireLake Manufacturing of Hutchinson, Minn., manufactures incinerators and crematoriums, serving the medical, veterinary and law enforcement sectors.

FireLake’s product line offers a wide range of load capacities with 16 different chamber sizes and numerous customization options. Their units are capable of incinerating 200 to 1,600 lbs. of waste at a time, depending on the user’s needs and the model selected.

FireLake’s president, Kent Wischmann, recognized an emerging demand for mobile incinerator units and sought a partner to develop a custom trailer solution for their Model X incinerator. The smaller-scale mobile unit would expand market opportunities for the Minnesota-based incinerator manufacturer.

Challenge

The mobilized Model X incinerator unit would serve two key markets: law enforcement and veterinary services. Law enforcement agencies needed a secure way to destroy drug evidence on site without transportation risks, while veterinary clinics sought flexible solutions to serve multiple locations.

This market opportunity required FireLake to find a partner who could design a trailer specifically engineered to support their A850XMBL-2D-SC2-X4100 Diesel Oil incinerator with its 27 cu.-ft. capacity.

Solution

Familiar with Felling Trailers’ custom manufacturing, FireLake contacted Felling for assistance with its mobilization project.

“Our (FireLake’s) incineration system would require specific structural support for transport,” said Wischmann. The design also would need to incorporate user safety, providing adequate space on the platform (deck) for users to move around and operate the incinerator unit.

Wischmann collaborated with TJ Schwartz, Felling Trailers OEM sales manager, throughout the custom build process, ensuring all details were considered, from wiring protection to equipment layout.

“This project was a custom build from the ground up,” said Schwartz.

“Felling’s custom design support and options were essential to our needs,” said Wischmann. “The ability to send and receive drawing files during the design process was efficient and seamless. Communication between their (Felling’s) engineering team and our design department was excellent.”

The engineering team at Felling carefully considered every aspect of the design, with particular attention to the suspension system and weight distribution relative to the equipment layout, which FireLake identified as “very important to the final design.” The resulting trailer features dual 6K torsion axles, offering adequate support for the heavy load while ensuring a smooth ride during transport.

Result

The finalized mobile unit combines FireLake’s Model X incinerator technology with Felling’s custom trailer engineering. The trailer solution provides FireLake with a mobile platform allowing their customers to:

• transport incineration capabilities directly to needed locations;

• facilitate secure on-site destruction of sensitive materials for law enforcement;

• enable veterinary clinics to serve multiple locations with a single unit; and

• expand FireLake’s market reach with a differentiated product offering.

“Felling is great to work with on special needs,” said Wischmann. “They look for the ‘how-to’ solutions.”

AI Camera Tech ‘Watches’ Questionable Traffic Behavior

from page 1

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) play a role in smart technology. The use of communication-based information and electronics technologies are central.

Work zone ITS is meant to enhance transportation and improve safety and mobility in and around work zones, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

“A work zone ITS deployment can be focused around safety or mobility, but often supports both goals and can also enhance productivity,” said the agency.

“The systems are portable and temporary in most cases, although some deployments may use either fixed infrastructure or become a permanent system.”

FHWA has an entire website devoted to providing guidance on ITS implementation in work zones. The goal is to assist public agencies, design and construction firms and industry.

That includes developers, manufacturers, distributors, packagers and providers of devices, systems and programs, as well.

The agency believes work zone ITS is one possible operational strategy an agency can include in a transportation management plan (TMP).

The federal website summarizes key steps for successful implementation, using a systematic approach.

“These steps include assessment of needs, concept development and feasibility, detailed system planning and design and procurement,” said the fed.

It also involves system deployment and system operation, maintenance and evaluation, said FHWA.

In fact, transportation agencies across the country are using ITS to make travel through and around work zones safer and more efficient. Electronics, computers and communications equipment are used to collect information and process it in order to take appropriate action.

The technology can help agencies with traffic monitoring and management, provide traveler information and incident management. It also can enhance the safety of both the road user and the worker, said FHWA. With ITS, capacity can be increased and enforcement improved.

The technology tracks and evaluates contract incentives and disincentives for performance-based contracting and aids in work zone planning.

Many ITS applications offer a combination of benefits for state agencies, said the agency. At the same time, they keep road workers safe.

Transportation (NCDOT) was selected to host the national work zone awareness campaign this year.

Transportation leaders, hosting for the first time, stressed the importance of motorists slowing down and staying alert to protect road workers and other drivers.

New smart technology is helping the state agency make sure that happens every day in work zones, said Joey Hopkins, state transportation secretary.

At the awareness week kickoff event, Hopkins said NCDOT has deployed connected work zone devices that transmit realtime data. The data allows drivers to navigation apps that provide audio alerts as they near work zones.

The agency also has installed flashing arrows, automated flagging assistance devices as well as portable traffic signals to keep vulnerable road crews safe.

During last month’s work zone awareness week, Florida transportation officials stressed the benefits of a smart work zone program. Noting the state has always had a smart program, Daniel Smith told WPBF in West Palm Beach that the state has advanced its technology and strategies.

Smith, a state traffic systems manager, said smart cones are one example. With a built-in sensor that activates a loud siren, the cone alerts workers.

“If one gets knocked off, it’ll set off a siren for the rest of them and let the workers know that there’s something entering the work zone.”

Ranger Construction sees much potential in smart devices. Mark Ligon, vice president of safety and risk management, told CBS12

he is excited to see it in use.

A Ranger employee was killed by a hitand-run driver in a road construction zone in 2023. Ligon said with more warning he might’ve escaped fatal injury.

“Whether, in fact, he would’ve been able to, we don’t know that,” Ligon said. “But at least it would’ve given him the opportunity.”

One camera device mounted on a vehicle emits a siren, giving workers a few seconds to get out of the way if a driver is coming right at them.

With a long-range digital camera, radar and AI component it watches oncoming traffic approaching the road workers’ work zone, said Jason Lee.

CEO and founder of SmartCone Technologies, Lee said the device can see up to a mile down the road.

“So, together inside the computer that’s in our device, it takes the radar, it tells the unit ‘Hey, we got lots of traffic coming at a certain speed.’”

The AI camera begins watching traffic behavior. If traffic behavior is questionable, the device flashes a light and sends a message, Lee said.

The messages are received by workers via watch, and they can run to the cone placed in a safe spot that they can reach in a hurry.

The goal is to give them at least five seconds warning before an approaching driver might hit them, said Lee.

“What we’re trying to do is give people awareness to make a better decision as fast as possible.”

Smith said the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) also uses trailers with AI cameras and drones to enhance safe-

ty. More visible on local major construction sites, these devices keep workers safe and let FDOT make real-time adjustments from a remote traffic center.

Smith called the technology “the nerve center of surface transportation” and have proven invaluable for controlling traffic in work zones. For instance, on one project, site managers discovered that construction barrels were not placed in the most strategic spot.

“You didn’t really notice it on the ground, but with a camera up on a pole, you did notice it,” said Smith. “We’re able to move these traffic barrels around to just reduce conflict. So, people aren’t swerving in our lanes and trying to drive places they shouldn’t be.”

He told WPBF he believes smart work zones are cost-effective, usually amounting to less than 0.1 percent of the project cost.

FDOT owns the equipment, so the agency can deploy it wherever and whenever it’s needed.

Work Zone ITS Trends

ITS is revolutionizing the way we travel by integrating advanced technologies into transportation networks, said Rohan Salgarkar.

Executive vice president of sales for business intelligence provider Markets and Markets Inc., Salgarkar believes ITS is transforming our mobility.

“In a traditional system, traffic flow was regulated through timers, pressure plates, and pedestrian buttons,” he said.

RMS Sioux City Branch Opens, Marking

Fourth New RMS Facility in Five Years

The much-anticipated Road Machinery & Supplies Co. (RMS) Sioux City, Iowa, branch is officially open at 5700 Al Haynes Dr. To celebrate the new facility, RMS held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 18 and an Open House for customers, vendors and employees on April 24.

Located in Sioux City Expedition Business Park on the southern end of Sioux City, conveniently near the Sioux City Gateway Airport and Interstate 29, the 12,000-sq.-ft. branch features two large drive-through bays, a wash bay, parts warehouse, conference room, break area and offices for staff.

In addition to size, the facility greatly enhances the service and repair capabilities that were possible in the original Sioux City branch, which was built in 1946, with high ceilings, larger workspaces, cranes and technology advancements.

The new 12,000-sq.-ft. Sioux City branch features two large drivethrough bays, a wash bay, parts warehouse, conference room, break area and offices for staff.

At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, RMS CEO Mike Sill II noted that the investment in the new facility speaks to the growth of the company and its investment in western Iowa, Nebraska and the Dakotas. He thanked the many people that helped make the branch project a success, including the city of Sioux City, AB Systems, RP Constructors and the many employees, customers and manufacturers who help support the project.

Sioux City Mayor Pro-Tem Dan Moore also spoke at the ribbon cutting and thanked RMS for investing in the area and continuing to be a solutions provider for the area businesses.

The Open House welcomed nearly 100 people through the doors and treated them to lunch from local food trucks, prizes supplied by RMS and various vendors and tours of the

branch.

Sioux City is the fourth new-build project RMS has completed since 2020. Bondurant and Cedar Rapids opened new facilities in 2020. The Byron branch, located just outside of Rochester, Minn., opened in 2024. The Sioux City opening also completes RMS’ goal of updating all its southern locations as it moved its Quad Cities location from Milan, Ill., to a renovated facility in East Moline, Ill., in 2017.

From its westernmost Iowa location, the Sioux City branch will continue to support its mainline manufacturers, including Komatsu, Astec, SENNEBOGEN, Epiroc, BOMAG, NPK, Genesis and more.

RDO Equipment Co.’s Mankato, Minn., Team Celebrates Facility Expansion

“The store expansion and renovation are an investment in our team and, in turn, Mankato and surrounding communities,” Lingen said during the store’s official grand reopening and customer appreciation event. “We have a lot of longtime customers doing vital work to build this growing region. RDO has always been committed to providing premium equipment and excellent service to meet their needs and now we have a facility to match. This is a space where our team members can grow their skills and careers while being true partners to those customers building our world.”

Lingen said that RDO reinvested in the store because of its long history of partnering with regional contractors, as Mankato and its surrounding areas have consistently grown over time. These updates to the store not only enhance the efficiency of technicians’ environments but also expand customers’ and team members’ gathering spaces.

“We’ve tripled our service shop and parts warehouse’s square footage,” Lingen said. “Now we can accommodate any John Deere, Vermeer or WIRTGEN Group machines of all sizes, and comfortably provide world-class service safely.”

The larger shop includes three more service bays and an increased parts inventory, as the Mankato store recently added the WIRTGEN Group machines to its service and support capabilities. The front of the building now includes updated amenities like a conference room, a formal

break room, a training area and a sales bullpen.

“These amenities in our store and service shop create a top-tier experience for our customers,” Lingen said. “Our team members take pride in partnering with expert contractors as they grow with their greater community of Mankato.”

RDO acquired the John Deere construction equipment and shop in 1992. Team members working in Mankato have spent more than 50 years partnering with regional contractors to build their communities. In fact, A&B Systems Inc., an established Minnesota contractor with strong roots in Mankato, built the original store.

Today, more than 22 dedicated team members work together to be the one-stop shop for equipment, maintenance and technology.

Ouster to Supply Lidar Sensors for Komatsu’s Suite of Autonomous Mining Offerings

Komatsu announced a partnership with Ouster as a lidar supplier for its suite of autonomous mining equipment offerings.

The two companies signed a multimillion-dollar agreement to equip Komatsu’s equipment with 3D digital lidar sensors. Ouster sensors include benefits such as zone monitoring and routine firmware updates that continuously improve the performance of the stack and accelerate product development, according to the company.

Komatsu’s autonomous offerings help customers worldwide increase productivity and reduce total cost of ownership while promoting zero harm, according to Komatsu. Advanced access to Ouster’s future products for testing and development provides Komatsu with a strategic partnership, enabling the introduction of equipment with advanced

functionality that creates value for customers.

The deal provides a pathway to an upgraded autonomy stack to replace legacy 2D lidar systems with 3D lidar for maximum perception and enhanced vehicle functionality.

Komatsu’s autonomous solutions will incorporate a mix of long and shortrange OS sensors from Ouster’s REV7

series to benefit future offerings to provide increased capabilities and intelligence, including improved detection, navigation and collision avoidance.

“Ouster’s products developed through this partnership can withstand the shock, vibration and temperature constraints while delivering the enhanced range and spatial awareness necessary to operate in harsh mining environments,” said Matt Reiland, technical director of automation innovation, Komatsu.

This agreement marks a milestone in Komatsu’s journey to advance mining automation and safety. By integrating Ouster’s lidar technology into mining equipment, Komatsu reaffirms its commitment to empower customers to operate more efficiently, safely and sustainably.

DOTs Cross-Country Deploy ITS to Enhance Worker Safety

“However, smart intersections have revolutionized this approach,” using a combination of to detect pedestrians and vehicles, he added.

These systems enable more accurate and efficient traffic management. In smart intersections, vehicles can automatically begin braking to avoid accidents. Streetlights can now pick up individual signals sent from vehicles to determine traffic volume and direction more accurately than ever before, he said.

“This level of communication allows for automated vehicle movement based on traffic signal changes, significantly improving safety and efficiency.”

If traffic leading to and at the construction points is not managed well, serious consequences for workers and the public at large are possible.

Worksafe Traffic Control Industries said these construction points create traffic snarlups because of bottlenecks on the freeway.

“Workers can also be faced with danger from irate drivers trying to get ahead of others through the bottlenecks,” said the traffic control device provider.

ITS “minimizes road congestion while at the same time optimizes other aspects of traffic.”

Road users can decide on alternate routing and timing for the day in question.

Worksafe Traffic Control said smart technology is in many devices, including:

• Variable Speed Limit (VSL) Trailers primarily slow motorists down as they ensure drivers move smoothly.

• Queue Warning Systems reduce primary and secondary crashes in real time by engaging advanced warning messages and signs upstream.

• Dynamic Lane Merge Systems eliminate congestion on one lane by closing another. They calm traffic and keep it moving with early signs of a slow-down, so traffic is distributed and only merged at the designated point.

• Truck Entering Systems allows trucks to merge with normal traffic when a system with an HD camera detects slow-moving construction vehicles.

• Travel Time Information Systems allow drivers to decide among other things, whether to change routes in the event of added travel time or delay because of a project.

• Smart Arrow Boards blend hardware and software to provide motorists with upto-date routing and daily work zone operations information.

• Alternative Traffic Route Systems allow drivers to change their routes. With a second dynamic message panel, a dual-display sign is achieved when traffic volume between two routes changes.

• Traffic Data Collection Devices are geared to collect traffic data, including speed of the vehicle, classification and gap.

• Conflict Warning Systems include workspace intrusion devices, over-dimension warnings units and speed feedback signs when workers are next to an open lane. Motorists are notified of potential dangers ahead, so they have the chance to adjust accordingly.  CEG

Trade Shows Team Up...

ConExpo-Con/AGG, The Utility Expo Team With AFSP to Prevent Suicides

ConExpo-Con/AGG and The Utility Expo announced a new partnership with the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP).

AFSP is the largest private funder of suicide prevention research in the United States and a leader on advocacy, education and community engagement to fight suicide. Together, they will launch a multi-year initiative to provide mental health education, suicide prevention resources and training tailored specifically to the needs of the construction industry.

ConExpo-Con/AGG and The Utility Expo are owned and produced by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers.

The construction sector continues to face one of the highest suicide rates of any profession. Through this collaboration, the trade shows will serve as a powerful platform to raise awareness and equip industry professionals with the tools to foster a culture that prioritizes mental health and well-being.

“Our industry is built by people — and protecting their mental health is just as critical as ensuring their physical safety,” said Megan Tanel, president and CEO of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), which

owns and operates both shows. “By partnering with AFSP, ConExpo-Con/AGG and The Utility Expo will amplify essential conversations, deliver accessible training, and help make suicide prevention a standard part of how we do business.”

AFSP will deliver specialized programming at AEM industry trade shows and provide regular virtual training sessions for construction industry workers. The partnership also includes support for AFSP’s community events and initiatives to certify leaders in best practices for suicide prevention.

“This partnership with ConExpo-Con/AGG builds on our commitment to the construction industry and our support of mental health in workplaces,” said AFSP CEO Bob Gebbia. “By taking actions that help people thrive emotionally, and by providing programs and resources to ensure people struggling get the help they need — we can prevent suicide. We are proud of this partnership and the growing commitment of industries to join us in saving lives from suicide.”

This partnership reflects a growing movement within the construction industry to break down the stigma surrounding mental health and create safer, more supportive workplaces. For more information, visit conexpoconagg.com. 
