Republic Road to Plainview Road, and is almost halfway complete.

“The largest challenge to date has been the amountofrockencountered,”saidKlayCamden, project manager of contractor Emery Sapp & Sons. “This project involves moving a large quantity of excavation [210,000 cubic yards],

of which 20,000 cubic yards is rock. This has required both blasting and breaking to get the rock removed down to planned subgrade elevations. Additional rock has been encountered to get all the underground utilities throughout the corridor in place as well.”

How to Avoid Fines for Jobsite Violations, What to Do If You Are Cited

The Department of Labor opened the year with an increase in the cost of penalties for employer violations.This means not only the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, but the Employee Benefits SecurityAdministration, Wage and Hour Division and Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs are all under the fee-hike umbrella. So is OSHA.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s maximum penalty increases include morethan$15,000perviolationforserious,other-thanserious and posting requirement violations.

Dozer Operator Henry Schinske Has No Plans to Retire

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Itisnotatallunusualforpeoplewhoenjoyworkinginthe operator’s seat of a piece of construction equipment to do so for 15 or 20 years. Those that run bulldozers, excavators or wheel loaders tend to love their work and are often reluctant to leave them behind.

And then you have those rare individuals that sit atop a construction piece for many, many more years than expected.

But for 65 years? How can that be?

Meet Henry Schinske, the owner of Henry’s Custom Dozer Service in Berrien Center, Mich. Last fall, the 87year-old Schinske celebrated six-and-a-half decades working at the controls of a bulldozer, the only machine he has ever cared to run.

Not only does Schinske continue to run one of several Caterpillar-built dozers, but he also said he has no intention of retiring until he is physically unable to drive one.

So, just why does he do it?

“Well,Igetboredawfullyeasy,”Schinskeexplained.“My wife passed away a year ago this past Christmas and I am alonenow,sothebestthingIcandoisgetupandgotowork. ButIthoroughlyenjoyitandIlikethefeelingofaccomplishment from the work. If I could die in a bulldozer seat, I would be very pleased.”

Clearing Land for Farms Is His Specialty

Schinske’spartofsouthwestMichigan,justnorthofSouth Bend, Ind., is a largely rural area of the state, meaning that most of the contracts he gets through his bulldozer service are for sitework and clearing woodlands and fencerows to make new farmland, many acres in size.

“This spring I have three- to four-acre plots of woodlands to take out as well as some large fencerows,” he said. “In all, I would say 90 percent of my work is farm work.”

Clearing trees and scrubs for new roads is not something Schinske generally does, although he explained that he has helped build private roads and cleared land for a few subdivisionsduringhislengthycareer,includingonhisownproperty.

He also does not dig basements like he did in the beginning, Schinske said, particularly after the use of excavators became more prevalent in the early 1980s. His men, though, one of whom is his son-in-law, will take on two or three of those jobs a week.

Of course, he also has used his equipment to tackle snow removal in the region on the east side of Lake Michigan for many winters.

“I plowed a Sears parking lot in South Bend for many years with a Cat 966 wheel loader with an 18-foot Snow Pro plowonit,butIretiredfromdoingthatthreeyearsagowhen the Sears closed down,” Schinske said. “It was a big lot and had several roads coming into the mall where the store was located.”

Faith Guided Schinske Along His Long Career

Shortlybeforeturning22yearsold,Schinskebeganworking in the construction trade on Sept. 30, 1957 — a date he remembers clearly — and continued to work for his first boss for the next 11 years.

“Iwasrunningabulldozerbytheendofthefirstweek,but I did not do that daily,” he recalled. “I was also at the gravel

plant handling crushed gravel, and I worked as a handyman, only running a dozer as needed to level a stockpile. In 1964, I began working on a bulldozer full time, and since then I have done nothing else.”

Five years later, Schinske left his original employer to open Henry’s Custom Dozer Service, a risky venture when you realize he and his wife had six daughters to raise. Luckily, he is a man with a strong faith.

“I believe that I have always had a guardian angel watching over me.” he said.

In the early days of his business, it was common during the spring months for Schinske to log more than 100 hours in the seat of a dozer over the course of a single week.These days,hehasunderstandablycutbackonthatgruelingschedule, although he still works more than 1,500 machine hours annually.

Schinske Has Stayed True to Cat Equipment

To keep up with the company’s demanding schedule, Schinske knew he needed to own the toughest, most reliable dozers on the market. He found the manufacturer of those machines to be Cat.

“Oh, Cat dozers are definitely my preference,” he said. “I once had a Cat D6D with 19,000 hours that needed to be overhauled, as water got into the oil. After taking it in for service, I ran it another 20,000 hours, so it ended up lasting 39,000 hours on a single overhaul.”

As a result, he currently has five Cat D6s, with his latest model being a 1998 D6R — all with thousands of hours on them.

When he buys or services his prized machines, Schinske

turns to the Kalamazoo branch of Michigan CAT, the state’s exclusive dealer of the premier equipment brand. The location is the closest of the company’s nine branches to Henry’s Custom Dozer Service, about 50 mi. northeast of Berrien Center.

There, he relies on Kurt Checkley, his service man at the Michigan CAT location.

“In March 1969, when I started my company, I got my first Cat D5 in Grand Rapids,” he said. “I had the D5 for three years before trading it in, and by 1980, I owned two D5s and had hired an employee to help me. Later, I got a D6D to go with the D5s for several years, then two more D6Ds, before finally adding a D6H and a D6R.”

Schinske explained that his loyalty to the Cat brand, and to Michigan Cat, is due to their wonderful treatment of him over the years.

“I have had no reason to look to any other bulldozer manufacturer or dealer,” he said.

Schinske Now Sculpting His Own Beautiful Farm

He and his employees are using their Cat equipment to finish sculpting a 94-acre piece of property that Schinske hopes to one day leave to his daughters and 12 grandchildren.

“Itispicturesquewithalakeandlotsofwoodedareas,”he said. “Although I lease it out to some local farmers now, it is a piece of property that would make someone a nice estate one day.”

That day is not here yet, though, as Henry Schinske is still not ready to get down from his bulldozer.  CEG

StatesSeekRFPstoBeginConstruction OnBrentSpenceBridgeCorridorProject

Kentucky and Ohio have put the call out to firms interested in building one of the most significant infrastructure projects in the nation — the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor — only one month after Govs. Andy Beshear of Kentucky and Mike DeWine of Ohio joined bipartisan leaders to celebrate a historic $1.635 billionfederalinvestmenttomovetheprojectforward.

A request for proposals (RFP) to provide construction and design services on the long-awaited project was released by the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

This contract addresses 6 of the 8 mi. of the total corridor; 5 mi. of the I-71/75 corridor in Kentucky and 1 mi. of I-75 in Ohio. It includes improvements to the Brent Spence Bridge and a companion bridge to the west. Work on the two northernmost sections of the corridor in Ohio will be done under separate contracts.

“When I’ve asked people in southwest Ohio what issues need to be addressed, for many, many years the Brent Spence Bridge has consistently been at the top of the list,” said DeWine. “Today, we’re closer than ever to beginning work on this transformational project.”

“In January, we secured $1.635 billion in federal grant funding to build the new bridge crossing over the Ohio River and improve the entire Brent Spence Bridge Corridor with no tolls,” said Beshear. “By February, we’re already seeking teams to help us get this project done.”

Responses to the RFP are due on March 31, 2023. The schedule calls for the design-build team to be selected in May, allowing for planning to take place immediately and initial construction work to begin before the year’s end.

This project will be delivered utilizing a delivery method known as progressive design build. Unlike construction projects that typically utilize a lowest bidder approach, the progressive design-build contract is awarded based on qualifications, the best overall

approach and value.This allows the design-build team the opportunity to collaborate with the bi-state project team and local stakeholders early in the process so potential risks can be assessed and mitigated while there is still an opportunity to influence them. It also helps the bidder and the project team avoid excessive cost overruns because the design-build team will have more thorough knowledge of the project’s design and risks before negotiating a price.

“The progressive design-build process is the right delivery approach based on the complexity of this project,” said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. “Working in collaboration with the contractor during the design process will bring more innovative design ideas to the table and improve the project overall.”

“Our bi-state project team has spent a lot of time preparing for this work and reaching out to the public to ensure those within the project area have had a voice in the process,” said ODOT Director Jack Marchbanks. “This project connects neighborhoods, states and the nation. We can't wait to get started.”

The states earned two federal grants including the recent U.S. Department of Transportation award of $250 million for the project from the new National Infrastructure Project Assistance (MEGA) discretionary grant program to go along with the $1.38 billion from the Bridge Investment Program.

Groundbreaking for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project is expected to take place in late 2023, with construction beginning in earnest in 2024 and a substantial completion goal of 2029.

The Brent Spence Bridge Corridor (BSBC) project is designed to improve approximately 8 mi. of Interstates 71 and 75 through Kentucky and Ohio, including the addition of a new companion bridge to the existing Brent Spence Bridge to reduce congestion, improve traffic flow and safety and maintain key regional and national transportation corridors.

John Deere to Roll Out Latest Technologies at ConExpo

As a leader in technology and innovation, John Deere is exhibiting its latest precision solutions for the construction industry at 2023 ConExpo-Con/AGG show in Las Vegas.

“At John Deere, we continue to providecustomerswithgroundbreaking, smart technologies aimed to improve user experience in the present and yield proven results in the future,” said Andrew Kahler, senior group product manager of Precision Construction, John Deere Construction & Forestry.

“Our portfolio of precision construction technologies is strategically curatedtohelpourcustomersmanage their fleets, improve job site performance, and enhance operator skillsets, helping to equip the next generations of construction professionals.”

At this year’s ConExpo-Con/AGG show, John Deere is showcasing its latest technology offerings including advanced vision and object detection solutions, SmartWeigh, standard EZ Grade on P-Tier small dozers andavarietyofothergrademanagementand automation solutions available to customers.

Improve Jobsite Safety

The next generation of John Deere production-class and utility-class loadersarespecifically designed to improve operator visibility and awareness. As a direct response to demand from operators, select models can be equipped with new vision and object detection technology. This technology can enhance visibility and help detect obstacles that present jobsite risks.

Object Detection technology, paired with a high-resolution camera and a dedicated display, helps enhance the operator experience and increase situational awareness. In addition, the industry-first vehicle trajectory logic technology overlays the projected vehicle reverse path to illustrate where the vehicle will move next.

Building upon the object detection enhancements, the industry-first Advanced Vision System integrates two digital cameras on the sideview mirror frames, helping to provide increased visibility to the sides of the machine. Within the cab display, operators benefit from an integrated view of all cameras, helping to increase spatial awareness with wider views and enhanced clarity.

The next phase of Deere’s technology journey can be found with SmartDetect and SmartDetect with Assist. SmartDetect combines cameras and machine learning to help give operators a better view of their

surrounds.The system alerts operators when an object enters the machine’s projected travel path and provides unique detection alerts for people in the camera’s entire field of view. With SmartDetect Assist, the machinewillautomaticallystopbeforecoming in contact with a person.

Increase Efficiency

One of the more advanced technology solutions that will be on display at the show is SmartWeigh, which is now available on the full lineup of P and X-Tier utility wheel loaders and will soon be available on the production-size P-Tier models as well.

Aimedtoimprovecycletimeswhenloading trucks or processing plants, this payload weighing system delivers increased accuracy, dynamic weighing capabilities, and ease of calibration. This John Deere designedand-supported solution helps operators confidently hit loading targets and minimize material loss.

Available fully equipped on loaders from the factory or as a 250-hour trial period, cus-

tomers that do not typically utilize payload weighing systems can experience the benefits first-hand, helping to prove value and give them the highest levels of productivity on their jobs.

As part of the SmartWeigh system, the dynamic bucket weighing technology eliminates frequent raising and lowering of the boom. The bucket capture height can be set anywherebetween15to90percentofboom height and can be captured at any boom speed.

Another key feature is that unlike other payload weighing systems, SmartWeigh does not require calibration with a known weight.Thisenablescustomerstoeasilycalibrate the system themselves without the need for outside assistance. On top of this, payload weighing data is integrated into JDLink, meaning it can be accessed nearly anywhere and not just within the cab of the machine.

Also new to the P-Tier and X-Tier wheel loaders, Auto Level technology is designed to eliminate frequent bucket and fork adjust-

ments. Operators moving or handling material do not have to worry about the load tipping too far backwards or forwards as the boom is raised up and down. This feature offers near perfect parallelism throughout the entire raise and lower cycle + or - 2 degrees.

Improve Productivity

Visitors at the show can experience the full portfolio of John Deere Grade Management solutions, aimed to help increase operator performance and accuracy.

Now standard on the John Deere Small Dozer line-up, with EH controls, is EZ Grade technology, which aids operators in grading smooth finish passes by making small blade corrections automatically. EZ Grade technology also is available on the SmartGrade 333 P-Tier compact track loader, which will be on display at the show. Also available on the full line-up of small dozersis2Dslopecontroltechnology,which helps operators in maintaining flat and sloping grades by automatically controlling the blade to a desired slope. Deere will provide solutions to meet customers where they are today and to grow with them as their grade management needs change. Whether it’s EZ Grade, 2D Slope Control, 2D laser, or 3D SmartGrade in the future, Deere small dozers will have solutions for every customer. Additionally,thesmalldozerline-upisavailable with a variety of innovative enhancements including larger touchscreen display and the industry trusted John Deere telematics. The data captured, formerly known as JDLinkTM or WITOS FleetView receivers, has been integrated into John Deere’s enterprise-wide Operations Center tool. This tool monitors not only machine data but also makes recommendations for a customer’s job site with things like fuel efficiency in an easy-to-use dashboard view.

Customers who have purchased options such as WPT (Wirtgen Performance Tracker) with their machine also will be able to conveniently view this data in the operations center in the future.

Those attending the 2023 ConExpo-Con/AGG show can see the new technology solutions firsthand by visiting John Deere Silver Lot outdoor booth #S5020. Show attendees also are encouraged to visit the John Deere West Hall indoor booth #W40844 to learn more about future technology and sustainability initiatives.

OSHAIncreases Its Maximum Penalties for Violations

The Federal Penalties Inflation AdjustmentAct ImprovementsAct of 2015 dictates that all federal agencies must increase their monetary penalties annually in line with the rate of inflation.

However, the new rules are “intended to be a targeted strategy,” said Doug Parker, OSHAassistant secretary of labor.

They’re written especially for “those employers who repeatedly choose to put profitsbeforetheiremployees’safety,health and well-being.”

In fact, OSHA regional administrators and area office directors now have the authority to cite certain violations as “instance-by-instance citations.”

They can do so for cases where the agency identifies “high-gravity” serious violations of OSHA standards supports a citation for each instance of non-compliance.

This includes lockout/tagout, machine guarding, permit-required confined space, respiratory protection, falls and trenching.

Cases with other-than-serious violations specific to recordkeeping also fall under the discretionary authority.

According to OSHA, the change is intended to ensure agency personnel are applying the full authority of the OSH Act where increased citations are needed to discourage non-compliance.

“The new guidance covers enforcement activity in general industry, agriculture, maritime and construction industries, and becomes effective 60 days from Jan. 26, 2023,” said OSHA.

Thecurrentpolicyhasbeeninplacesince 1990 and applies only to egregious willful citations.

AtthesametimeOSHAremindsregional administrators and area directors of their authority not to group violations. The staffers should instead cite violations separately to more effectively encourage employers to comply with the intent of the OSHAct.

“Smart, impactful enforcement means using all the tools available to us when an employer‘doesn’tgetit’andwillrespondto only additional deterrence in the form of increased citations and penalties,” said Parker. “Employers who callously view injuredorsickenedworkerssimplyasacost of doing business will face more serious consequences.”

OSHA’s maximum penalty increases are:

ï $15,625, up from $14,502, per violation for serious, other-than-serious and posting requirement violations;

ï $15,625, up from $14,502, per day for failure to abate beyond the abatement date;

ï $156,259, up from $145,027, for willful or repeated violations.

The minimum penalty for a willful violation is now $11,162, an increase from $10,360.

In January, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced a 5 percent increase in the civil penalties assessed for violations of its regulations.

The Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA) reports that the number of OSHA inspectors increased by 19 percent. The association concluded that the increase in staff “raises the possibility of onsite inspections.”

Before the COVID pandemic, OSHA performed approximately 31,000 inspections a year, according to Chris Mayne, GZAGeoEnvironmental, Norwood, Conn. Mayne, GZA health and safety manager, told CBIA that that number dropped to approximately 24,000 inspections in 2021. He anticipates as society adjusts to a postCOVID and with the increase in staff OSHAwillatleastreturntoitspre-pandemic inspection levels.

“I have seen companies become more safety conscious over the years with safety becoming integrated into the fabric of company culture,” he said.

These companies are spending more resources on safety-related issues to prevent illness and injuries from occurring in the workplace, and consequently, to reduce the likelihood of citations and fines, he said.

“Having good safety management programs in place can help identify areas of non-compliance or risk and drive solutions to address these areas of concern.”

It helps a construction contractor tremendously to know the difference between an OSHAviolation and a citation.

A violation occurs when a company or employee willingly or unknowingly ignores potential and real safety hazards.According to trainers at Safety by Design, a violation does not always mean an incident occurred; it can also happen during an OSHAinspection.

“Depending on the severity of the infraction, the company can receive a citation or fine,” noted the safety consulting firm.

Some OSHA violations do not put employees at risk, and as a result, instead of issuing a fine, the agency gives the company a citation.

“Similar to a warning traffic ticket, a citation lets the business know there is a violation to resolve,” said the safety consultant. “It will also include a date when the safety issue needs to be fixed.”

Only repeat OSHAcitations are listed on a company’s safety record, the company further explained.

“It’s classified as a repeat offense when a business receives the same citation more than once in three years.”

SafetybyDesignsaidwithacompletelist on its website, OSHA has made it easy for employees, managers and business owners to look up various violations.

The firm suggests that regular safety audits and inspections performed by thirdparty safety consulting companies can help improveworkplacesafety.Theseauditsalso can help reduce the likelihood of OSHA violations and citations.

Understanding what an OSHA compliance safety and health officer is allowed to investigate is crucial, said training solution provider SafetySkills. It also helps to understand what employees’ rights are both during and after an inspection, said the Oklahoma City, Okla., company.

“But a proper safety plan needs to start well before an inspection ever occurs,” the firm added. “You should identify and eliminate as many potential hazards from your workplace as possible.”

As well, contractors should implement personal protective equipment (PPE) wherever necessary.

“You also need to maintain accurate records of all injuries, illnesses and deaths and train employees on proper safety procedures for both everyday work and in an emergency.”

Many employers choose to conduct practice OSHAinspections, the firm noted.

“Just like when you had drills in school, practicing an inspection means employees will be better prepared and likely more relaxed in an official inspection.”

SafetySkillsbelievesbeyondonboarding, ensuring every new employee is also up-todate on applicable safety standards could also significantly reduce the incidences of workplace injuries.

“Unfortunately,OSHAdoesnothaveone consistent standard for addressing safety training,” the consultant cautioned. “Instead, if there is a specific training requirement, it is outlined in the OSHA standard itself.”

The company instructs clients to keep in mind that training does not guarantee OSHAcompliance.

“Training simply makes employees aware of potential safety hazards,” it said, addingthatmaintainingpropertrainingdocumentation is key.

Documentation can serve as proof that the employer took the necessary steps to avoid a violation, should an inspection come to that.

No matter what kind of hazard may be present on a job site, there is some form of PPE that can help protect affected workers. Since 1974, OSHA has developed many PPE standards covering everything from clothing and fall arrest systems to hearing and respiratory protection.

“With few exceptions,” said SafetySkills, “employersarerequiredtoprovideeffective PPE that will protect each affected employee from any identified hazards or potential hazards at no cost to the employee.”

Employers also are responsible for providing complete training on any protective equipment that may be used. This training requires instruction in how to properly put on,adjustandremovePPE,andunderstanding any limitations of the equipment.

It is truly up to the employees to make sure safe habits are being carried out each day, said the safety consultant.

“In the field or out on the floor, employees will likely be the first ones to see any potential issues.”

By making it easy for employees to anonymously report potentially hazardous situations, employers can take the necessary corrective actions, the company said.

“It is crucial for employers to make it clear that if an employee raises a safety concern or files a complaint with OSHA, they are protected from retaliation.”

Employees also should be encouraged to conduct regular safety checks of their own areas to ensure standards are being met by every worker. Putting this power into their hands rather than in the hands of management only fosters a culture of safety from the ground up, believes SafetySkills.

OSHA provides a general overview of employer rights and responsibilities following a federal OSHAinspection.

“But you should always consult your local OSHA area director for any specific questions or concerns,” urged SafetySkills.

Employers have options:

ïTheycanagreetothecitationandpenalty by paying the fine;

ï They can request an informal conference with the OSHAarea director to discuss the citation;

ïTheycancontestpartorallofthenotice, including the citation, penalty and/or abatement date; and

ï Finally, employers can file a petition for modification of abatement if unable to meet the given deadline.

“Regardless, you must post a copy of the OSHA citation at or near the place where each violation occurred, in order to make employees aware,” said SafetySkills. “This posting must remain for three working days or until the violation is corrected, whichever is longer.”

In announcing the fine increases, OSHA reiterated that the enforcement changes are tools.

These tools are meant to help deter employers from disregarding their responsibilities to protect workers. They’re also meant to “ensure compliance with OSHA standards and regulations.”  CEG

SBM Mineral Processing Set to Participate at ConExpo

Forthefourthtimeinarow,SBMMineralProcessingwill participate in ConExpo-Con/AGG in Las Vegas.

At its booth (Silver Lot, Booth S5600), the Austrian processing specialists will showcase the track-mounted JAWMAX 400 jaw crusher.

Like all “SBM Mobiles” — a total of 12 track-mounted JAWMAX jaw crushers and REMAX impact crushers between 49,000 and 353,000 lbs. operating weight (max. output250to800tph)—itfeaturesanadvanceddiesel-electric drive concepts, the manufacturer said.

A combination of fuel-efficient onboard diesel and performance-tuned generator powers the plants’largely electrified crushing, screening and conveying equipment. Despite class-leading production capacities, this ensures massive savings in fuel consumption comparedwithdiesel-hydraulicoronlypartiallyelectric competitor plants due to low engine speeds.

Less hydraulics also means less risk of failure, lower maintenance and parts inventory costs, and thushigheravailabilitywithfurtheroptimizedoperating costs, reaching overall savings from 40 to 75 percent.

All SBM plants provide intelligent integrated “CrushControl”controlsthatnoticeablyrelievethe operator in set-up and operation. Even inexperienced machine operators can safely operate and access the full performance of the JAWMAX and REMAX models, which can be equipped with numerous pre-screening and post-screening options, according to the manufacturer.

Crusher 4.0

In Las Vegas, SBM also will inform about the brand-new REMAX 600.

Also based on the SBM hybrid concept, the new 600 tph impact crusher will soon pave the way for “autonomous crushing,” the manufacturer said.

Extensive sensor technology, including cameras, constantly records and evaluates the feed material as well as intermediate and end products. In real time, those values reach centralized digital labs at SBM, where they are further analyzed. Necessary adjustments are then made on the “digital twin” of the working machine and retransmitted directly

to the REMAX 600 in the field.

The“Crusher4.0”developedtogetherwiththeUniversity ofLeobenwaspresentedattherecentbaumatradeshow,and largescale field tests are currently being carried out in selected partner plants.

Dealers Wanted

SBM is planning a sustainable expansion of its sales and service activities in North and South America as well as in theAnglo-Pacific region. So far represented in Canada with its own spare parts center and two supra-regional dealers (AMACO Equipment, ProTrack Equipment), the focus is particularly on the U.S. market and there in all relevant industry segments, from raw materials to the construction industry to qualified recycling.

At the show, SBM intends to present new trade partners and is available for inquiries of interested companies. For more information, visit www.sbmmp.at

About SBM Mineral Processing

SBM Mineral Processing GmbH, based in Oberweis (Upper Austria), is one of the few internationalfull-rangesuppliersofprocessingandconcrete technology.

The company celebrated its 70th anniversary in 2020 and currently employs approximately 190 people. At the site in Liezen, where logistics and production are located at the sister company MFL, 30 SBM employees also work. 

The JAWMAX 400 — shown here as model 450 with active prescreen — has one of the largest crushers in its performance class.

SBM’s hybrid concept combines efficient diesel-generator combinations with largely electrified plant equipment.

Presented for the first time at bauma, the REMAX 600 is now proving its forwardlooking qualities in large-scale practical tests.

IndustryGathersforMAA’sAnnualConference,TradeShow

Michigan Aggregates Association (MAA) held its annual conference and trade show at the Fire Keepers Casino in Battle Creek, Mich., Feb. 7 to 9.

On the first day of the event, industry professionals had an opportunity to attend an 8-hour Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) refresher course conducted by Joe McGuire, an independent safety health consultant.

The second day began with an MAA update followed by a national update presented by Mike Johnson, NSSGApresidentandCEO,andanMSHAupdatepresented by George Colby, MSHA field supervisor. Breakout sessions were conducted throughout the course of the event with subjects ranging from new technologies, equipment reviews, personnel training and management and the impact of environmental and cultural issues on the industry.

During breaks, attendees were encouraged to meet with representatives from local equipment dealers, national manufacturers and product and service providers to discuss the latest innovations in equipment and products in a tabletop exhibit area of the show.

Currently in its 63rd year, the MAA is a non-profit trade organization to support the interests, growth and welfare of Michigan’s aggregates industry. Members are served through educational programs, business meetings and newsletters to keep informed about regulatory and compliance issues and other matters regarding Michigan’s aggregates industry.

The association advocates for its membership through interactions with elected officials and serves in an advisory capacity to address regulations related to health and safety, land use, taxation, material specifications, land reclamation and the environment.

MAA’s membership includes individuals and organizations involved with the production of crushed stone, sand and gravel, industrial and recycled materials along with suppliers of equipment and other goods and services needed to produce mineral products.  CEG

RMS OpensAggregate, Mining Parts, Fabrication Facility

Road Machinery & Supplies Co. (RMS) announced the opening of its new aggregate and mining parts and custom fabrication facility in Savage, Minn. This new division allows RMS to quickly supply customers with in-stock crushing, screening, aggregate and recycling replacement parts, as well as harder-to-find parts and supplies. RMS will carry these parts, which can be shipped directly to customers.

While supply chain issues have caused shortages across the industry, by stocking common OEM and aftermarket parts, RMS is offering a great benefit to contractors and material producers.

“When machines go down, a part in stock can be the difference if a machine is down for a day or a few weeks,” said Ben Schmidtlein, aggregate division manager of RMS. “Most parts can now be delivered in

our area in one to three days. A fast turnaround was what customers were saying they needed. RMS has stepped up with a commitment to meeting that demand. We can send parts for many makes and models in the industry.”

Custom parts can also mean a big difference in machine uptime. RMS will have the necessary components on hand to fabricate the necessary parts to have a machine back up and running.

“We also have added custom manufacturing and repair through RMS Tritec, which is an RMS company located in Virginia, Minn.,” said Schmidtlein. “We are the largest Hardox dealer in the Midwest. In addition to having the Hardox plates on hand, our team can accommodate custom requests and alterations in-house from concept to installation. This is another example

of meeting what our customers are asking for.”

The new facility and team came online this winter and has exceeded expectations. Plans are for continued growth of this division.

“This has been a huge success and we are excited to see where this can go with new and existing customers,” said Schmidtlein. For more information, visit rmsequipment.com.  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)

Ben Schmidtlein, aggregate division manager of RMS.

The addition of a belt roller provided RMS the ability to stock more belting options to provide customers with more rapid delivery times.

A dedicated aggregate facility on its corporate branch location in Savage, Minn., allows RMS to keep more inventory in stock in a centralized location with a dedicated staff.

In addition to a home for its aggregate wear parts and components, the Savage, Minn., location has large equipment pieces like crushers, wash plants, conveyors and stackers in its yards.

Hardox steel plating is a product that has been popular with RMS customers in need of custom fitting and fabrication.

BizReceivesMilestoneBuildofFalconWinchAssistSystem

Logging steep slopes presents safety risks as well as challenges that affect production.

Overcoming both has been a mission for DC Equipment, manufacturer of the Falcon Forestry Equipment (FFE) Falcon Winch Assist, which recently saw completion of its 200th unit with the help of Modern Machinery Inc.

“The 200th is one of a significant number of units DC Equipment has built during the past several years,” said Territory Manager Russ Smith, who was instrumental in bringing the Falcon WinchAssist to the Pacific Northwest.

“Customers love the ability it gives them to more productively and safely log steep ground.”

Modern Machinery equipped the 200th unit the same as it did with others it has set up, starting with a previously used Komatsu PC290LC excavator.Afterremovingthecounterweightand thoroughly inspected the machines, Modern service technicians mount Falcon’s winch on the back of the excavator, which gives it approximatelythesameoperatingweightasatraditional excavator.

The winch houses approximately 1,640 ft. of 1 1/8-in. swaged rope with nearly 80 tons of breaking strength. The rope runs through rollers on the excavator’s main boom and a tension monitor where the boom and arm meet senses the load.

Uphill, Downhill

Excavators equipped with the Falcon Winch Assist serve as the “uphill” machine in the mechanization process. They sit stationary with no operator and the bucket is dug into the ground for added stability.

“ThePC290givesusagreatbasemachinetostart with because it’s stout with plenty of capacity,” said Smith. “At the same time, at about 80,000 pounds with the WinchAssist, it’s easy to haul.”

The FalconWinchAssist is designed for constant tension and attaches to a log loader, feller buncher, harvester or skidder to allow those “downhill” machinestoworkonsteepslopeswhereitwouldbe dangerous to operate without cable assist.

Acontrolboxandantennaaremountedinsidethe cab of the excavator for communication with the downhillmachine.Operatorsusethewinchtomove uphill and downhill, controlling it with foot pedals. Winch mode, tension settings, manual pay out or wind in of rope and emergency stop are controlled via joystick in the harvester. A control screen dis-

plays rope tension, length of rope payed out and additional important information.

“We have two locations that build the units and install the controls, and usually put four to five technicians on them,” said Modern Machinery Equipment Coordinator Matt Moore. “If they see anything during inspection that needs to

be addressed, it’s taken care of.

“In addition to the Winch Assist components and the bucket, all are equipped with a thumb. That, along with the bucket, gives customers added versatility because they can use the machine for other tasks as needed.”

No Longer Just Trendy

Modern Machinery and DC Equipment representatives say the Winch Assist System increasingly is contributing to the logging industry’s change to mechanization and less work done by hand. That’s largely being influenced by felling machines and the support of winch assist methods on steeper slopes.

An example of this can be seen in New Zealand (where DC Equipment is based) where mechanization for ground-based felling has increased from 50 to 90 percent between 2009 and 2019. This movement is happening across the globe, including in Modern Machinery’s territory.

“It’s no longer a trend, but an adoption in the industry because loggers see that it’s the most effective and practical method for most steep-slope situation,” said Smith. “We are looking forward to building more of these units going forward, and we encourage anyone who does this type of work, or is interested in adding steep-slope logging to contact us for more information.”

Modern Machinery equipped the 200th unit the same as it did with others it has set up, starting with a previously used Komatsu PC290LC excavator.

A new GEN 4 Falcon Winch Assist gets extra features over its predecessor versions.

PremiereDevelopsDuo-TachLineWith UniversalSkidSteerMountingBrackets

Premier Attachments has developed a series of attachments with mounting brackets that allow for the two most common skid steer attachment styles — miniskid and universal skid steer — to be utilized on a single attachment.

Compaction

The new Duo-Tach mounting bracket for full-sized skid steers, utilizing the universal skid steer mounting style, and mini skid steers, using the common industry standard mini skid mounting style, share the same basic structure built into one Duo-Tach attachment. This allows the owner to utilize one attachment for both mini skid steers and full-size skid steers on any given job site at any given time.

The best part of this new product is the reduction in the size of your attachment fleet due to the Duo-Tach mounting bracket being able to be used across all platforms of host machines, the manufacturer said.

There is no adapter, no conversion plate and not a single tool is required to switch from one style of mount to the other. Just un-hook from your mini and hook right up to your full size and go to work. Fewer

pieces of equipment to purchase, plus more efficiency on the job site by having more flexibility in how you use your equipment, equals greater profitably. Don’t just attach it, Duo-Tach it!

Premier Attachments has incorporated the Duo-Tach mount into its line of earth auger attachments, trencher attachments, pallet forks and the new utility hitch attachment. All four lines of Duo-Tach attachments are built in the company’s Fort Wayne, Ind.

“We stand behind every one of our products with our best-in-class warranty and customer service,” the company said.

The Duo Tach is compatible with all major brands of skid steers, including Bobcat, John Deere, Case, New Holland, Cat, Gehl, Takeuchi, Kubota, JCB, Thomas, Kubota and others. It also is compatible with all major brands of mini skid steers, including Ditch Witch, Vermeer, Toro, Boxer, Bobcat MT, Kanga, Ramrod and others.

Minn.ProvidesMillionsforRoads

Gov. Tim Walz signed into law legislation to unlock $315.5 million in federally appropriated funds from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) to improve Minnesota’s roads on Feb. 7. The funding provided in Chapter 6 HF 26 will be used for state road construction and improvement on Minnesota’s trunk highway system.

“By investing in Minnesota’s transportation system, we strengthen our communities, economy and work force,” said Walz. “I am grateful to the Legislature for working quickly to pass legislation that will improve our state infrastructure, create jobs and directly improve the lives of Minnesotans across the state.”

The $315.5 million to improve Minnesota’s roads was allocated to Minnesota in 2022 under the IIJA. Because a transportation bill did not pass last session, MnDOT did not receive the budget authority to spend these federally allocated dollars. This bill, passed unanimously by the House and Senate, gives MnDOT the authority to use the IIJA funds for construction projects across the

Excavation,EarthMovingUnderWayOnExpresswayProject

Eighty percent of the project will be paid for with federal transportation funds, with Greene County responsible for the remaining20percent.ThecityofSpringfieldalsois a cost-share partner since the northern portionoftheextensionfallswithinthecitylimits.

The key feature on the project involves theconstructionofaprecastBEBOarchway manufactured by Contech.

“This archway spans more than 48 feet and is more than 250 feet wide,” said Camden. “It was set in 43 individual pieces. Itsfoundationincludesmultiplefootingsand stem walls, all sitting on existing bedrock. This feature allows the Workman Branch stream to continue to function as it did originally,withnoimpactstoupstreamordownstream conditions.”

According to Camden, nearly all the structure’s footings are finished.

“The stem walls have all been poured and the wingwalls are 50 percent complete. The precast archway pieces have been set, along with the headwalls and backfill completed. On the bridge structure, the piling, drilled shafts and substructure is complete. The setting of bridge girders has just started, and subsequent operations will start soon.”

Construction continues on underground utility operations that include gas, water, sewerandstorm.Excavationandearthmoving operations also are well under way.

“Thisworkhasincludedboththeremoval of existing soil and rock throughout the corridor.Blastingofrockwascompleted,where allowed with the local regulations, and breaking of rock was used when blasting was not permitted. The earthwork equip-

ment spread on the project included a Cat 375 excavator; multiple large 40-ton articulated haul trucks; multiple dozers in both the cut and fill locations; compactors; and water trucks.”

Structural steel work involves the setting of structural steel girders for the new bridge over Ward Branch. The new bridge is supported by both H-piling and drilled shaft foundations, along with structural steel Ibeam girders.

Key tasks that remain in Phase I include the completion of the earthwork; base rock; asphalt paving; and final construction of the bridge.

The job calls for construction of a new

two-lane corridor through a previously wooded vegetation area. Crews must tie into existing roads at both the north and south limits of the project, but the tie-ins are minimal.

Camden also noted the tremendous focus to control stormwater during construction.

“The project was designed and budgeted with multiple layers of control to minimize any potential runoff off the project site. The entire project limits have been lined with a large mulch berm that helps trap sediment and filter stormwater as it potentially leaves the site. There are multiple ditch checks and sedimentbasinsthroughoutthelimitstocontrol stormwater.”

Workers have had to keep a close eye on the forecast as well.

“Being a significant earthmoving project with large cuts and fills, we have been very susceptibletorain.It’sbeenkeytohavemultiple areas of work available, in the event that something gets rained out. Due to the large amount of rock that required breaking on the project, we’ve been able to keep progressmovingduringraineventswiththis work.”

In addition to the earthwork equipment required to complete Phase I, utility crews are using 30-ton excavators and track loaders. Bridge and archway crews rely on their own crane and support machinery.

Main materials include 6,400 cu. yds. of concrete; 16,500 linear ft. of pipe ranging from2-in.to36-in.;precaststormstructures/ manholes; 45,000 tons of aggregates; 662,000 lbs. of structural steel; and 455,000 lbs. of rebar.

Phase I construction must be finished by the end of October 2023. Camden said the team’s dedication and commitment to excellence go a long way in completing the work.

“Emery Sapp’s 50 years of experience is key in allowing us to carry out this project. Our ability to pull resources from various locations allows us to meet the project schedule. Our team involves crews from multiple branches, and our expertise allows ustoself-performallmajorelementsincluding the earthwork, utilities, structures and asphalt paving.

“This project has been on the master plan for the county for many years. It is rewarding to be able to complete it for the county and allow additional congestion relief on the south side of Springfield.”

K.A. Group to Display Unity, Inclusivity at Its ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023 Booth

K.A. Group is comprised of industry leading earthmoving equipment brands: K-Tec, Ashland and Metalcraft. These three brands will be sharing the company’s booth display at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

K-Tec scraper product offerings include scrapers ranging from 28 to 63 cu.yds for various heavy construction and mining operations. Ashland products include scrapers ranging from 3.25 to 34 cu.yds for the compact, agriculture and industrial construction markets.

K-Tec and Ashland announced their merger at ConExpo 2020 to become the market leading scraper manufacturer in the world, and Metalcraft of Georgia joined the K.A. Group in May of 2022. Metalcraft scrapers have a niche in construction owner-operator and land forming/grading applications.

With a footprint of nearly 20,000 sq. ft. space inside the show’s new West Hall, K.A. Group’s brands are featured at booth #W40231.

K.A. Group’s theme for the 2023 show is “Earthmoving For Everyone”.

The company recognizes that earthmovers everywhere have a variety of materials to be moved from one location to another. The optimal equipment selected to move this material is dependent on the application, and the machines that are already owned by the earthmover.

Contractors of all sizes can use their existing fleet of prime mover power-units to easily move bulk material by attaching a scraper. Whether you move millions of cubic yards of material as a heavy construction equipment manager or a solo landscaping contractor sculpting residential properties, K.A. Group has scrapers available to make the task of moving material more effective and improve fleet versatility.

Whether attendees are involved in industrial mining, construction earthmoving, land leveling contracting, agricultural farming or landscaping contracting, they will find an effective solution at the K.A. Group booth, the company said.

In the booth space, Case IH will be showcasing the tractor power-units that are perfectly paired with the optimal sized Ashland or K-Tec scrapers.

Ashland’s new 1812E, 18 cu.yd scraper model will be connected to a Case IH Magnum tractor. The 24 cu.yd Ashland 2411E scraper will be attached to a Case IH Quadtrac tractor. K-Tec’s 1228 Train scrapers, with the ability to carry a tandem heaped capacity of 56 cu.yds. will be positioned behind the Case IH 555 wheeled tractor.

With mass market appeal, a Case Construction compact track loader will be fitted up with the Ashland 3250SS scraper for contractors who want to see what it looks like to be able to bulk haul material with a common jobsite CTL machine.

K-Tec is the brand that pioneered the articulated dump truck scraper concept back at ConExpo 2008. The ADT scrapers are a versatile and economical method of earthmoving which has consistently gained popularity in the market.

With a booth zone focused on heavy construction and mining this show, a variety of OEM’s are providing articulated dump trucks ranging from 30 to 50 Tons, showcasing K-Tec scraper hauler integrations.

These ADT’s will be on display with K-Tec’s 1228ADT (28 cu.yds) and 1237ADT Lead & Rear units (37 cu.yds each) to showcase to contractors that there is a scraper solution for whatever brand and size of rock trucks they currently have in their fleet.

K-Tec will have a Virtual Reality (VR) experience for operator attendees to simulate the smooth scraper ride and machine controls of theADT Scrapers. K-Tec’s EJB4X ejector body will be fitted on the back of a VolvoA45G. The EJB allows for trucks to safely eject loaded material in areas with reduced overhead clearance.

An earthmoving implements zone will showcase a variety of complementary attachments that K.A. Group offers through its worldwide dealer network including a newly designed Land Leveler, and the popular Metalcraft road grader RG-14.

K.A. Group’s scraper specialists will be available at the booth for assisting attendees in assessing optimal earthmoving jobsite solutions. In addition, a team of design engineers and service technicians also will be present to answer any technical inquiries for attendees to gain education on what makes for an effective earthmoving equipment selection.

This broad spectrum of scrapers and earthmoving accessories showcased at K.A. Group’s ConExpo 2023 booth will enable contractors of all sizes to use their existing fleet of prime mover power-units to easily move bulk material. Attendees can unlock the potential of their existing equipment or idle fleet prime movers by turning them into efficient scraper haulers. Whether they own a fleet of numerous Articulated Dump Trucks, an agricultural tractor, or a single CTL skid steer, there are scrapers available to make the task of moving material more effective while optimizing equipment fleet versatility.

To support growing demand, Komatsu has begun producing the company’s HM400-5 articulated haul trucks at its factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.

While the trucks were produced in Chattanooga in the mid-2000s, in 2009 production shifted to the company’s plant in Ibaraki, Japan, where it has remained until now.

Used primarily in construction, quarry and mining applications, the 473-hp HM400-5 is designed to move material across challenging terrain while delivering productive, consistent performance for operators of all experience levels. To celebrate the new production line, Komatsu and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) hosted U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann along with other local and state officials for a launch event at the company’s Chattanooga plant.

“For years, Komatsu has been a proud member of our Chattanooga-area community, providing hundreds of goodpaying jobs and generating a massive economic impact for Chattanooga and Tennessee,” said Fleischmann.

“Bringing back production of Komatsu’s HM400-5 trucks is another sign of our strong local workforce and shows the confidence business leaders have in Chattanooga’s economy and our values of hard work, low taxes and free enterprise. I am excited that Komatsu is expanding their operations here in Chattanooga and investing in our community.”

Production of the truck has already driven an increase in Komatsu’s spend with local and regional suppliers. Additionally, the new line will offer more opportunities for area students to gain experience in manufacturing. Komatsu’s Chattanooga plant currently has a pre-apprenticeship program that employs high school seniors part-time, allowing them to earn credits toward a full apprenticeship certification through Chattanooga State Community

College.

“We have seen the demand for our HM400-5 trucks grow significantly in both the U.S. and Canada, which is why we began producing the trucks here in the U.S.,” said Rod Schrader, chairman and CEO, Komatsu North America. “The domestic production of this popular truck supports Komatsu’s commitment to jobs and manufacturing in the U.S., and also enables us to contribute far more to the local Chattanooga economy.”

“AEM is honored to partner with Komatsu to host Congressman Chuck Fleischmann as we celebrate the return of production of the HM400 articulated truck to Chattanooga. Today’s event is a vital reminder that equipment manufacturing in the United States is alive and well, with a future destined to create more family-sustaining jobs inAmerica,” said Kip Eideberg,AEM’s senior vice president of government and industry relations.

“As our industry continues to face supply chain disruptions and worker shortages, we need our elected officials to support policies that will help strengthen equipment manufacturing in America. We are grateful to Congressman Fleischmann for his leadership in Congress and his support for policies that will help equipment manufacturers invest in their communities, grow their businesses, and hire more Americans.”

In addition to the HM400-5 trucks, the plant produces midsize hydraulic excavators and intelligent excavators, as well as some machines for the forestry market. Approximately 525 people are employed at the Chattanooga campus. Of those employees, 425 are part of the manufacturing operation, while 100 work for other divisions of Komatsu.

PartnershipAnnounces Plans for $2.5B Development in Detroit’s New Center

A sweeping community development sponsored by Henry Ford Health, Tom Gores and the Detroit Pistons and Michigan State University intends to invest $2.5 billion over the next decade to turn Detroit’s New Center neighborhood into a vibrant, walkable community with residential, commercial, retail, recreational and health care components.

The development will be anchored by a reimagined Henry Ford Health academic healthcare campus, the highlight of which is a major expansion of Henry Ford Hospital including a brand new more than 1million-sq.-ft. facility and patient tower. It also includes a new medical research facility for Henry Ford Health and Michigan State University Health Sciences, part of Henry Ford Health’s 30-year partnership with Michigan State University.

The plan includes a significant expansion of the partnership between Henry Ford Health, Gores and the Detroit Pistons, who joined on a $137 million facility in 2019 that relocated the Pistons franchise back to Detroit and into the new Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center and Center for Athletic Medicine on Second Avenue adjacent to New Center.

“When we acquired the Pistons more than a decade ago, our vision was larger than simply owning an NBA basketball franchise,” Gores said. “I viewedthisfromthestartasa‘community asset’that was uniquely positioned to participate in the continuing reinvention of Detroit and to be impactful in the lives of its residents.

“Our plan in Detroit has focused on bringing people and organizations together and creating meaningful partnerships that accelerate growth, create opportunity and contribute to the revitalization of the city,” he said. “We are uniquely positioned and fortunate to have our partners at Henry Ford Health support the reimagination of our shared neighborhood, which will create jobs and housing for a new generation of Detroiters.”

GorespraisedtheHenryFordHealth team, notably Robert G. Riney, president and CEO.

“Bob is a passionate leader who has devoted his career to serving the health of the Detroit community, and I look forward to working together to bring our shared vision to reality,” said

Riney said the power of partnership is vital in redefining and rebuilding neighborhoods across Detroit.

“The reimagination of our healthcare campus in Detroit has been a longheld vision for us and we’ve taken exceptional pride in challenging ourselves — a quest to discover what’s truly possible alongside our partners,” Riney said.

According to Riney, the hospital component alone will represent the largest single healthcare investment in thecityofDetroitinthehealthsystem’s history.

“Like all major U.S. cities, our great city of Detroit deserves a premier academic medical center and destination for the most advanced care, research and education,” Riney said. “As an anchor institution that’s been committed to building strong, healthy communities for more than a century, we know we can deliver on that promise – to double down on our commitment to being relentless advocates for those we serve.

City of Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan praised the vision and investment of three like-minded institutions focused on the impacting the community and driving economic growth.

“Detroit is seeing more investment, construction and job growth than it has in a half century and today’s announcement of this $2.5 billion development takes things to a new level,” said Duggan. “This partnership between Henry Ford Health, the Pistons and Michigan State University represents

an incredible investment in our city. Detroiters will have not only a new hospital and medical research facility, but also more opportunities to live, work and play, right here in this neighborhood.”

Vibrant, Thriving Unified Campus

The joint research facility will be located within the proposed development area. A multi-phase, multi-year vision, the plan preserves the neighborhood’s rich history while infusing innovative solutions to address the future of health care in Detroit and extends throughout the West Grand Boulevard corridorandHenryFordHealthandthe Detroit Pistons’ New Center footprint. Plans include:

• Residential development with market-rate and affordable housing, which will include the eventual transformation of the current One Ford Place building

• Publicly accessible retail space and possibly a hotel

• A multi-story parking deck

• Centralized community park and green space areas with outside basketball courts across Amsterdam Street to the south of the Henry Ford Detroit Pistons Performance Center

The proposed site advancements will provide continued expansion of New Center into a vibrant and dynamic urban neighborhood, increasing lifestyle and entertainment amenities while creating programmable opportunities for both organizations and Detroiters alike.
