The Cumberland River Bridge at Smithland provides a vital link between north and south Livingston County, Ky. Without it, the drive from one end to the otherisagood1.5hours.But at93yearsofage,thebridge, which is used by about 5,100 vehicles daily, was woefully in need of a replacement. The challenge is the location — a narrow spot on the river with tight turns and heavy river traffic. The question for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) was: where see KYTC page 98

Combatting Construction Fraud

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Funding sources, competition and thin margins can result in construction fraud. Contractors are often more vulnerable than owners because they juggle so many aspects of the project: materials, vendors, equipment, subcontractors, site safety and their own employees. A limited system of checks and balances can create more fraud risk.

Constructioncontractorsunderstandthepressures that are simply the nature of their work.

Tri-State Tollway Project Connects Communities in Illinois

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

In an effort to better serve motorists, crews in Justice, Ill., are working diligently on the $39 million 88th/Cork Avenue Interchange project. The undertaking will createnewaccesstotheTri-StateTollway(I294), providing nearby communities with a local connection to the Chicago area’s transportation network.

“This will improve the movement of freight and deliver economic benefits, including increased opportunities for local economic development,” said Cassaundra Rouse, Illinois Tollway executive director.

“The interchange is one of the key projects in the state’s competitive freight program, which is intended to create better transportation connections to more easily move raw materials and finished products around the region and across the state.”

The new ramps connecting 88th/Cork Avenue to I-294 will improve local traffic circulation, while the ongoing widening and reconstruction of the Central Tri-State Tollwaythroughtheareawillprovidelargerscale congestion relief. The ongoing construction will also have a ripple effect.

“Local municipalities expect the interchange project to trigger new investment and redevelopment in several nearby suburbs because it will offer a more efficient routeforfreight-relatedandlogisticscompanies to access I-294,” said Rouse. “As an example, the project will dramatically improve truck access to a CSX Railroad Intermodal yard in Bedford Park, reducing out-of-direction travel and the impact of truck traffic on adjacent communities.”

Theareasurroundingthenewinterchange currentlyishometo85freight-andlogistics-

related firms which employ about 22,000 workers. The new access is expected to encourage increased development of these type of businesses in the area, creating thousands of additional jobs.

Work began in 2022 and should be finished by the end of 2024. Rouse noted that the work is timed to coincide with the ongoing $4 billion Central Tri-State Tollway (I294) Project, which is reconstructing and widening 22 mi. of I-294 from Rosemont at the north end of this segment to Oak Lawn at the south end.

Traffic impacts tied to the 88th/Cork Avenue Interchange project have been minimal. Drivers have reportedly responded well to lane shifts and other traffic changes.

Lorig Construction Company, the lowest qualifiedbidder,servesastheprimecontractor, having worked on multiple Tollway projects.AccordingtoManarNashif,Illinois Tollway acting chief engineer, the project remains on schedule, although material supplies relating to shortages in various industries required additional coordination and planning. The issues created longer lead times than initially anticipated.

“Construction is going smoothly, and is currently about 10 to 15 percent complete,” said Nashif.

“Work now is focused on bridge bearing replacement, steel erection, noise abatement wall installation and related grading.

“Thenoiseabatementwallrequiresdrilled shafts for the posts and grading around the new wall. The bridge substructure [pier and abutments] will be widened, so fill will need to be placed behind and adjacent to the widened substructure. New ramps will be built connecting Cork Avenue to I-294, so regrading the ramp locations is required.”

Completed work includes bridge deck

removal, bridge abutment and pier widening. The bridge will be widened to each side andinvolvesexpandingtheexistingpierand abutments and erecting new beams on both the east and west sides of the structure. The bridge deck is also being replaced.

During construction, crews expect to move approximately 8,000 cu. yds. of dirt; 900 cu. yds. of concrete for pavement; and 1,000 cu. yds. of concrete for the bridge. Workers are using cranes for the steel beam erection and noise abatement wall installation. Front end loaders and bulldozers are required for the necessary grading around the bridge widening and new noise abatement wall.

So far, the elements have not posed a problem.

Local road improvements built by Cook County will include reconstruction and widening of 88th/Cork Avenue and Oak Grove Avenue from south of 81st Street to north of Archer Road. New frontage roads will be constructed alongside 88th Avenue and 81st Street. Intersection improvements also will be needed at 88thAvenue and 81st Street and at the southbound I-294 entrance

ramp.

Intersection improvements also will take place at Archer Avenue and Oak Grove Avenue and Oak Grove Avenue and 79th Street. The improvements are necessary to accommodate the additional traffic from the new ramps.

Said Rouse, “Constructing this new interchange is an exciting project, because it will be a game changer for the Chicago Southland in terms of providing congestion relief and opening new access to local communities,creatingnewopportunitiesforeconomic development and job growth.

“Openinganewentrywaytothevillageof Justice and other nearby communities will relieve traffic congestion and provide easier access to key destinations, including freightrelated logistics businesses and SeatGeek Stadium, which hosts two professional soccer teams, the Chicago Fire and the Chicago Red Stars, as well as other concerts and events.”

Headded,“TheTollwayexpectsthisproject to have a lasting impact on the economic success of the nearby communities by helping facilitate continued investment and redevelopment in the area. The interchange already is driving economic development in the area, including a newly completed 10,000-square-foot shopping center and construction of a new commercial retail building and new townhomes.”

Thelocalshareoftheprojectwillbefunded by Cook County and the village of Justice, who worked with the Illinois Tollway to receive a grant from the Illinois Competitive Freight Program for $13.44 million to be used for right-of-way acquisition for the new interchange. This work is part of the Tollway’s 15-year, $14 billion capital program.

TechnologyLevelsPlayingFieldAmongConstructionFirms

By Patricia O’Brien CEG CORRESPONDENT

At every opportunity, construction firms large and smallarelookingtotechnologytohelpthembecome more efficient, streamline processes and improve sustainability.

Technological trends in large firms include building information modeling (BIM), the use of advanced building materials and construction robotics. Small to mid-size firms are embracing a variety of technologies, including drones, 360-degree photography and project management software to improvetheirefficiency.Safetycontinuestobeatthe forefront of the industry no matter the size of the firm, with technological advances in tools such as construction wearables to keep workers safe.

In the view of Michael Zeppieri, vice president, Skanska USA’s Emerging Technology Team, some of the more common aspects of technology that improve the function of a job site involve less about specific technologies, and more about understanding how to improve efficiencies among project teams. Technology has not scaled as quickly in construction as it has in other industries, such as automotive or aerospace, but it still has an impact.

“Buildings don’t come off assembly lines,” Zeppieri said. “You generally don’t have continuity from one job to the next. Locations change, teams change, the buildings change. To get to the futurism of technology that everyone is excited about, you must get people to adopt technology in a very pragmatic and real way.”

Technologies used to improve the build experience don’t have to be futuristic and expensive to have a positive effect. When visiting a job site, Zeppieri sees firsthand how relatively simple technologies, such as the use of QR codes, havealastingimpactontheuser.Equallyimportantisaccessibility, with mobile-first and platform integration serving as the primary drivers for adoption in the field.

“When I go to a job site, and I see a superintendent get veryexcitedbecausetheycanputaQRcodeonaroom,scan

it with their mobile device and it brings them to their punch list in one of our core platforms, that simplifies that process for them,” he said. “The technology is not that sophisticated, but they get excited about it because it solves a problem.”

Skanska USA’s Emerging Technology Team is a small group compared with the overall size of the organization. ZeppieriandseniordirectorDanielleO’Connellworkwitha core group of six people with an extended team of 20 to 30 people throughout the business to lead the integration of technology across the organization and with their clients.

“My biggest epiphany in the last year has been around

data,” O’Connell said. “It’s been enlightening to see our teams start appreciating that they are collecting data whether they know it or not no matter what tool they are using, whether it’s sensors like environmental or work wearables, or reality capture tools like 360-degree cameras or laser scanners. We can look at that data to be more proactive rather than reactive.”

The question then becomes: how do companies gettheiremployeesonboardwithusingtechnology? Many companies invest in technology and tools that are providing important information whether it is useful for a project today or a similar project in the future.

“An innovation isn’t an innovation until it’s in someone’s handsandtheyareusingthatthingordoingthatthingdifferently every day because of it,” said Jim Barrett, vice president of Innovation of Turner Construction Company. “We

Manitou Chooses Siemens Xcelerator to Manage Products

Manitou Group, a world reference in the handling, aerial work platform and earth movingsectors,hasteamedupwithSiemens Digital Industries Software to develop a global solution for managing the lifecycle of its products.

As part of the Group’s digital transformation, the implementation of this tool aims to standardize its design processes. Manitou Group has chosen Teamcenter software for ProductLifecycleManagement(PLM)from the Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services.

Dedicated in particular to the management of the machine database, the elements linked to the various components and their nomenclature, Teamcenter will be implemented to streamline and simplify product design on all of the Group’s 10 production sites in the United States, India, Italy and France. In addition to this innovative tool, Siemens’NXsoftwareforproductengineeringhasbeenchosenastheCAD(ComputerAided Design) tool.

This sizeable project is fully in line with the Group’s desire to make its digital transformation one of the pillars of its strategic roadmap.

Julien Waechter, vice president R&D at Manitou Group, said, “This major invest-

ment will allow us to modernize our tools, particularly through virtual reality, to enhance our performance and to achieve the same design across several sites without having to rework the data. In practice, we willhaveuniquedataforeachproductforall Group employees.

“TheadvantageoftheSiemenssolutionis also its ability to connect to our existing

tools, including our ERP. Siemens’ reputation and the expertise of the support teams convinced us that we were making the right decision.”

By implementing this global solution, the Groupwillbeabletooptimizethetimespent on its product development, while working onasingletoolthatallowstheentireproduct life cycle to be centralized, the company

said.

Sixteen-hundred users will be impacted by this change. They primarily work in the design and R&D offices, in the methods, technical documentation and after-sales departments, and in the marketing teams, and will be given training within the Group over the next three years.

The first stage of this implementation, up to 2024, concerns definition of the core model and preparation for deployment. The Group’s goal is to implement the solution in the United States by the end of 2024, with roll-out in Europe and India estimated for 2025. To help the project run smoothly, the team from Siemens is working closely with the Manitou Group project team.

“We are delighted that Manitou Group has selected the open and interoperable Siemens Xcelerator portfolio of software and services and we are fully committed to supporting Manitou during its journey to achieving its digital transformation goals,” said Jean Marie Saint-Paul, CEO Siemens Digital Industries Software France.

“It’s another great example of how industry pioneers are choosing our solutions to help them build the products of the future and we look forward to helping Manitou Group across the globe.” 

Experts Urge Implementing Compliance Programs Now

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

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

Fraud Crushes Contractors

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

In these situations, contractors don’t get a fairshotathiringtime,accordingtoaccounting firm Grant Thornton. They also can be hurt by cash flow issues when funds are drained as a result.

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

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

“The theft of valuable material directly affects a contractor’s already narrow margin” said Lynch.

Insurance may cover some of the direct cost of the theft, but there is a significant indirect cost, he said.

“Business owners now worry about locking down their inventory and wonder who theycantrustinsteadoffocusingonwinning the next project.”

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

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

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

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

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

Common construction fraud risks include fictitious vendors, ghost employees, vendor kickbacks and materials theft. Bid rigging, change order falsifications and cyber threats anddatatheftalsocanthreatenacontractor’s business.

“While many of these risks are pervasive

to all industries, contractors are uniquely susceptible to fraud schemes,” said Thomason.

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

“Implementing compliance programs may sound unnecessary, especially in an unfavorable economic cycle,” Koltsov said.

“However, we urge companies to recognize that fraud increases during these fragile times.”

Failing to develop an effective construction fraud program now can lead to huge financial and time burdens later, he said.

The best way to combat construction fraudiswithmanagementoversight,preaches construction payment software developer Levelset.

Give Diligence Its Due

In general, due diligence is crucial to a project,saidAlexBenarroche,Levelsetlegal associate.

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

Informyourselfaboutlocalmarketconditions, availability of competition and bid pricing of comparable projects in the area.

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

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

Benarroche believes the compliance officer should not only conduct initial investiga-

tions but regular ongoing reviews as well.

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

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

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

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

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

“There should be multiple employees involved in the responsibilities for authorizing [and] recording transactions.”

Multiple trusted employees also should perform reconciliations and access cash funds or assets, he said.

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

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

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

Thomason also urged contractors to monitor the jobs-in-progress schedules closely

for significant overbillings or under-billings. Always obtain competitive bids for materials and subcontracts over a certain amount. Andhaveanemployeeotherthantheproject manager review supplier and subcontractor invoices, he added. “Require dual signatures/approval on all checks or electronic funds transfers.”

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

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

“Perform occasional jobsite visits to compareemployeeheadcountatthejobsitetotime reports and payroll checks/direct deposits.”

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

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

Contractors risk fraud or theft because of operating environment, long history of industryfraudandopportunityforfraudpost COVID-19.

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

Watch for Potential Threats

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

Thefinancialconsultingfirmadvisescontractors and owners to implement a program for business protection.

ï Keep on dealing with the details.

Incorporate detailed cost estimates throughouttheprojectlifecycle,theaccounting firm urged.

“Oneofthebestwaystostopconstruction fraud is to stop the slush fund from filling up.”

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

ï Vet your vendors before project commencement.

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

ASV Introduces Two Forestry Compact Track Loaders

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

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

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

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

Power

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

The VT-100 features a 3,500-lb. rated operating capacity and 10,286-lb. tipping load while the VT-100 Forestry includesa3,700-lb.ratedoperatingcapacityanda10,571-lb. tipping load.

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

Performance

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

for new operators to expedite the training process. The load-sensing system offers both improved efficiency andfuelsavings.Thesystemregulatesthe40-gpmhydraulic pump, so it only produces what’s necessary to complete the work rather than using maximum flow all the time.

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

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

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

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

Comfort, Operator Experience

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

longer days in comfort with a standard fully adjustable suspended seat. The smooth ride allowed byASV’s Posi-Track undercarriagecontributestomorecomfortonbumpyterrain.

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

The VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry also will include optional remote-control capabilities. The remote is available as a factory or field-install option and allows operators to control the loader from a distance with a harness-mounted control box. The new feature improves operator safety in potentially dangerous situations such as on steep slopes. It alsoincreasesoperatorindependencewhentheymaybenefit fromalargerviewofthejobsiteduringoperationortheabilitytocompletetasksoutsideoftheloaderwithoutneedingto get in and out of the cab.

Serviceability

Ease of serviceability also will stand out to operators with convenient features such as easily accessible daily checkpoints and removable skid plates for quick cleaning when needed. The VT-100 and VT-100 Forestry include threepanelengineaccessplusaswing-outradiatorthatrequiresno tools to open for simple access to daily check points.

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

EvolutionWheelOffersNewTire

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

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

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

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

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

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

measuring at 52/32 in.. The deeper the tread, the more it can wear, increasing longevity as well.

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

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

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

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

LOWE® Trenchers

Wacker Neuson Expands Its Utility Track Loader Line

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

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

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

The smallest in the series is the new

low ground pressure to greatly reduce turf and soft ground disturbance, while enhancing traction and stability for hill operation.

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

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

The largest in the series is the SM120, designed for the professional who needs to lift, move and place more during their landscape, tree service and site work. Powered by a 24.7-hp Yanmar diesel engine, the SM120 has a rated operating capacity at 35 percent of 1,226 lbs. and a travel speed up to 5.2 mph, providing fast cycle times. The 41in. wide machine is equipped with classleading, 11-in. wide tracks providing ultra-

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

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

Taylor Machine WorksAnnounces Its New ZH-360L Battery Electric Forklift

Taylor Machine Works Inc.’s 36,000-lb. capacity ZH-360Lheavy lift truck— a ZERO vehicle emissions battery electric forklift — marks another major step in the drive to electrification across the heavy industrial material handling sector.

Battery electric material handling equipment is not new to Taylor, as it showcased the first two electric container handlers in October 2019 at the Port of Los Angeles on Clean Air Day.

RobertTaylor,presidentandCOOof Taylor Machine Works said, “We will continue to develop zero emissions options for customers that have such targets in their ESG Plans. As always, you can depend on Big Red to continue striving to meet the needs of the customer.”

The 36,000-lb. capacity lift truck has long been the most popular size material handler across all major industries, including wood products, iron and steel, concrete, oil and gas, and port operations.

Taylor has met the lifting needs of these industries for more than 96 years and is now leading the charge to provide battery electric versions of these same heavy lift machines.

This overall effort is not new. Taylor has been utilizing the cleanest internal combustion technology in its lift trucks for years, the company said. The NOx and PM emissions from its off-highway internal combustion engines have been reduced by more than 90 percent compared to the previous Tier-III models.

The final step to ZERO vehicle emissions is now being taken with new

battery electric models like the Taylor ZH-360L.

The ZH-360L is powered by Permanent Magnet Synchronous Electric Motors and American manufactured NMC batteries. It also features an advanced E-Axle that utilizes regenerative braking to assist with battery recharge during operation.

This heavy capacity truck can lift 36,000-lbs. on a 48-in. load-center and operate uninterrupted through an average duty-cycle 8-hour shift. Recharge time also is optimized to only 1.5 hours. If opportunity charging at lunch and breaks is utilized, the run time can approach the same multi-shift work cycles as any internal combustion counterpart.

The operator cabin of the ZH-360L is available with many features to assist

with operator comfort and protection. The all-steel Taylor DREAM cab can be outfitted with Poly-Armor protective glass, which can withstand up to six times more impact energy before shattering than standard tempered glass. The Clear-VU operator station with Comfort Steer also is available, which removes the traditional steering wheel and dash, to open visibility from floor to ceiling.

All operational controls are moved to the left and right armrest, which improves overall operator posture and arm positions.

Taylor has three additional models of ZERO emission Lift Trucks in its portfolio. The ZLC Series of loaded container handlers is already available in a second-generation model and have been working successfully in heavy duty-cycle U.S. Ports for several years.

“The ZH-360L is now poised to meet heavy lifting needs across the many additional industries mentioned above. The industry feedback generated around this new Taylor ZH-360L is exciting, and we are honored to provide a product that meets the needs of our industrial partners, their operators, and the surrounding communities,” the company said.

Taylor builds over more than 100 models of material handling equipment in capacities from 4,000- to 125,000lbs. and is “diligently working to offer all Taylor models in ZERO emissions configurations and look forward to what the future holds.”

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

“What we wanted to do with the E-Paver is take an automotive grade electric drive system and match it with establishedLeeBoycomponents.ThehydraulicsystemsontheEPaver are a mirror image of the 8520C that operators are usedto,wereplacedthedieselengineandLeeBoyintegrated a compatible electric drive system.”

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

“AsGMpursuesitsvisionofanall-electricfuture,extending the advantages of EV technology beyond our core vehicle portfolio will continue to play a role in greater overall

adoption,” said Travis Hester, GM vice president of EV GrowthOperations.“Thisconceptpaverunit,createdincollaboration with LeeBoy and PCS, highlights another exciting application and business that can benefit greatly from electrification.”

Enhanced Applications, Comfort for Operators

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

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

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

other LeeBoy machines.

“The controls feature our “LeeBoy Family Feel” and style,” Broome said. “They are standard to our electric over hydrauliccontrolssotherewon’tbealearningcurvetojump in from an 8520 to this electric machine.”

Caterpillar,Axenox Come to Agreement

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

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

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

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

A new way to secure the plate to the screed, the Bullox system reduces screed plate change time up 80 percent, from days to less than four hours, lowering costs and maximizing paver uptime availability, according to the manufacturer. After a one-time installation of the insulated conductor plate, simple screed plate changes are completed using a lock-andgo system, eliminating the need to access and remove the

nuts and bolts.

The Axenox screed system will be exclusively available for Cat customers and supported by the extensive Cat dealer network.

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

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

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

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

The GOMACO GP460 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine

to efficiently drive the conveyor belt and distribute concrete across the grade. The high-volume, 60 in. conveyor belt can be mounted on either the left or right side, depending on job-site conditions and the location of the haul road. It has a discharge speed of up to 492.5 ft. per minute for fast and efficient concrete placement.

A controllable material deflector directs the flow of concrete at the discharge end of the conveyor for placement accuracy. A dual-drive auger system moves the material to the center or outer areas and across the strike-off.

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

The GP460 placer/spreader slipform paver made its world debut at ConExpoCon/AGG 2023.

AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION

North American Snow Conference 2023

Dates: April 16 – 19, 2023

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

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

Education Program

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

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

We need you to arrive in Omaha prepared to ask the essential questions and share your views and ideas. Start thinking now about the following:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

EuroAuctions Holds 25thAnniversary Sale at Leeds Facility

AEuroAuctions sale at its flagship site in Leeds featured more than 6,000 lots for sale on the company’s 25th anniversary, providing the biggest sale ever.

Like the perfect storm, the planets aligned, consignors offered more quality machinerythaneverbefore,buyersgotwind of the fact the machinery on offer was of exceptional quality and there was lots of it. That, combined with consignments of 1,000 excavators,fromminidiggerstoover22-ton machines, that went over the ramp on sale day, this was the most exceptional sale that EuroAuctions has ever hosted, the company said.

And, if that wasn’t enough, it coincided with the 25th anniversary of EuroAuctions.

In March 1998, in Dromore, Northern Ireland, the Keys family was hosting its first plant auction, which featured 371 lots. Now, 25 years later, 6,171 lots from 578 vendors, from 28 countries, were sold to 4,888 bidders from 90 countries.

At this March sale, 578 vendors from 28 countries consigned equipment to the sale. Predictably,itwasthehomenationthatruled this auction, with 511 vendors coming from the UK.

Nearly 5,000 bidders registered to take part in this sale, with 84 percent bidding online, however, with floor bidders and the camp-followers who like to turn up at each auction for the buzz of a “big sale”, the crowd on the day was one of the biggest Euro Auctions has seen, with 20 percent of biddersregisteredforthefirsttimewithEuro Auctions, of which more than 15 percent purchased.

Again, the home crowds were the most aggressive bidders with UK buyers securing 45 percent of the lots on offer, with bidders from Europe being 51 percent of the buyers, with the Middle East, North America, Africa, South America and the Caribbean making up the remainder.

“To continue to report that EuroAuctions has just had another record-breaking sale, sale-on- sale, may be sounding repetitive, however the business cannot apologize enough for that continued exuberance in reporting each sale,” Chris Osborne, sales manager at EuroAuctions, said.

“That fact is each sale just gets better and better. We are inundated with good machinery and our customers trust us to achieve best price.”

Record Consignments Show Confidence, Trust in Euro Auctions

“The strength of this sale was astounding, with the number and quality of consignments unprecedented,” said Osborne.

“With many large rental companies refreshing inventory, sending large multiple consignments to this sale, and the numbers

were quite remarkable. The value of those Top-10 consignors amounted to over £20 million in sales. One rental company consigned £7.5 million of machinery, another £2.6 million, another £2.1 million, another £1 million. In the list of the next 40 consignors, in the top 50, the average consignmentperindividualvendorwasintheregion of £200,000.

“This shows the level of trust and confidence that the market has in Euro Auctions.

To dispose such large consignments of machinery, in an open and unreserved sale, on the final knock of the auctioneers’ hammer, our consignors trust Euro Auctions to gain the best price the market can provide.

“Following various conversations, many of those rental companies, it was clear that they were awaiting consignments of new machines from OEMs. With fresh used machines maintaining their value when compared to new stock, owners were happi-

ly disposing of inventory, with an ‘out with the old, in with the new’attitude at this sale. These were strategic business decisions, as youdon’tsellmillionsworthofmachines,at an unreserved sale, on a whim.”

Strong Prices

“Atthisauctionitwasevidentpriceswere going to be strong from the very first day,” Osborne said. “There was an urgency to the activity of the sale, with prospective buyers not holding back, but getting straight into serious bidding. My colleagues and I could feel the atmosphere which was palpable.

“We have been noticing this sense of urgency at previous sales where buyers are keen to try and secure good lots. Whilst this is a ‘self-regulating’ industry, with the market dictating the value of each item sold — demand and supply set the price. Those following the auction closely will have noticed that many models increased in prices since the sales of late 2022.”

Market Price

“The used construction and agricultural machinery sector in the UK, and Europe, uses each Euro Auctions sale to ‘price check’the industry,” Osborne said.

“As we sell so much construction and agricultural machinery, every 6 weeks, we do know the true value of equipment. With 6,000-plus machines at this sale, including 1,000 excavators, we have a wide breadth of data at our disposal as to what machine values are.

KYTC Project Replaces Vital Link in Livingston County

tobuildthebridgeandthen,howto get it where it needed to go? The answers:15mi.awayandcarefully.

“It’s been in need of replacement for several years now,” said Chris Kuntz, KYTC project developmentbranchmanager,District1. “We’ve been doing a lot of repair

work. The way the geography of Livingston County works, the Cumberland River cuts the county in half between the south and the north. Then, on the other end, you’ve got Kentucky Lake. This is really the only crossing to get from thenorthtosouth.Whenthebridge had to be closed for repairs it

caused extensive delays for school transportation, people going to and from work. It’s an important link for the community.”

The convenient place to build the new bridge would be the along the riverbank, but the bank is tight and the contractor, Jim Smith Contracting, worried that building

it there, which would have meant having a crane barge on the river for at least several days, would impact the barge traffic at the site.

“There's a lot of barges that use the river,” said Kuntz. “There are a few rock quarries upstream of here. So, an important consideration in the project was to design something that had minimal impact to the river traffic.”

The project team decided on a 700-ft. truss to be built at the Paducah Riverport about 15 mi. fromthereplacementsite,thenfloat it to the replacement site by barge.

“In the end, we ended up with a 700-foot span truss and trusses have a bad reputation of being the clunky outdated type structures that have lots of members, lots of visualclutteranddifficulttoerect,” said Taylor Perkins, principal, senior bridge designer of Stantec. “So, our challenge was to figure out how to trim that down and how to slim down the truss design. We eliminated as many members as wefeltwecouldandstillgetanice efficient design. So, for the user, it’s nice to have that open visual space, reduced clutter as you’re lookingoutthesideofthewindow.”

Last fall, the team successfully floatedthetrussintoplace,liftingit about 90 ft. above the river. The float was so impressive, Jim Smith Contractingarrangedforaviewing area for the public.

“You never really paid get a sense of the size and the scale of a project until you put a new truss right next to an old one, so to see this yesterday as it started floating down the river,” said Austin Hart, KYTC resident engineer. “This is really the last major phase of this project. It was awesome.”

Work is now ongoing to build the forms for the concrete deck.

The new $63.6 million bridge, slated to open in May of this year, is taller and wider. The existing bridge is 20-ft. wide, the new will be 42 ft., and including approach spans,1,912ft.Atitshighestpoint, it will be 95 ft. off the water.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Kuntz said. “The community local leaders and residents have been asking for this for a long time, pushingforit,tryingtogetfunding for it from the General Assembly. And it feels very good to see that we're one step closer to getting it completed.”

The Cumberland River Bridge at Smithland provides a vital link between north and south Livingston County, Ky.

At 93 years of age, the bridge, which is used by about 5,100 vehicles daily, was woefully in need of a replacement.

Construction Industry Embraces Technology, Innovation

are trying to help the industry with developing new technologies. Construction is laggard in terms of adopting new technology.”

According to Barrett, there are many reasons for construction companies of all sizes to adopt technology into every project. In additiontothenumerousbenefitstotheconstruction process, technology increases the probability of success, and success fosters a better culture.

“There is work associated with innovation,” he said. “It’s not easy. There are ways to increase the probability of success by creating a better culture and using innovation to create opportunities.”

He said that Turner’s Innovation team’s work supports other divisions within the company.

“Our work is very missional; we try to thinkaboutinnovationashelpingpeople:we want to reduce waste and inefficiency so they can unlock their greater potential and apply their talents to add value,” he said.

Skanska USA and Turner Construction Company are two of the largest construction firms in the United States. They manage thousands of projects each year totaling in the billions of dollars.

What about the small to mid-size firms, whose work is local or regional in scope? Whattechnologiescantheybeginusingnow that will reap the rewards of efficiency and cost-savings for them and their clients?

Barrett encourages smaller firms to invest in technology.

“It’s incumbent upon the smaller and medium sized companies to be constantly looking at new ways of doing things to support their people, improve their company, grow their business and improve their bottom line,” he said.

He goes on to add that technology levels the playing field for small to medium to large companies. There are inexpensive yet effective tools available now that are easy to learn, such as Microsoft’s AI Builder software.

“Those tools can be a catalyst to magnify the impact of a smaller firm and what they are capable of, and they can start competing on a performance level with the larger contractors,” he said. “You don’t need a large IT budget;youcanusethetoolsthatarebecoming readily available. There is a huge opportunity for small to medium firms to deliver a level of capability and performance that is outsizedtothesizeoftheirfirm.Idon’tthink people are quite aware of them. I encourage smaller companies to find some people in their organization and let them loose; encourage staff to investigate these new solutions.”

technologies is The Milnes

Engineering, Construction and Survey, headquartered in Tunkhannock, Pa., in the heart of northeastern Pennsylvania. They’ve embraced a variety of technologies including drones, project management software and robotic surveying equipment.

“Drones are a great tool to communicate with a client, to provide progress photos monthly or quarterly,” said Earl Thomas, president and chief operating officer who oversees the construction division. “Our guys and the clients love it.”

Milnes’ chief surveyor, Lindy LaRue, understands the efficiency drones bring to the surveying side of the business, saving the clients not only time and money, but allowing them to make decisions on important details well before construction begins.

“With our initial mapping, we can take the drone and fly a 40-acre site in 20 minutes and have a survey grade photo that you can see down to one pixel per inch or less,” said LaRue.

“Every half an inch on the ground is one pixel on the screen.Wethenexportthatdata intobillionsofpointsandcreate an object file out of that.”

One of Milnes’clients wanted to build a large warehouse

that would be seen from a high traffic road. LaRue’steamwasabletotakethedatagathered from the drone, export it into a 3D software program and digitally turn the building at different angles to show the client the best waytopositionthebuildingforpeopletosee the business’sign.This saved Milnes a great deal of time in the construction planning and their client a great deal of money, knowing with confidence how the building and signage would be positioned long before the first hole was dug.

Milnes’ teams work together on projects due to the investments the company has made in various technologies. Robotic surveying equipment, for example, benefits their entire team, not only the survey division.

“Thingsweusethatarenewertouswould beroboticsurveyequipmenttolayoutbuilding foundations,” Thomas said. “Our construction team can take one point or two points and lay out the whole building with this robot. It’s more advanced, goes quicker andismoreefficientthanhowweusedtodo it.”

Milnes’ construction superintendents all have iPads out in the field. While they still haveprintblueprintsintheoffice,theproject management software loaded on their iPads gives them easy access in the field to every document for a specific project.

“It’s very helpful when there are changes to the project on the fly,” he said. “Right fromtheiPadtheycansendaquicke-mailto me and ask a question about a particular detail.They can highlight an area and send it in an e-mail. We can get that to the engineer or architect, and the super can quickly get their answer.”

“From an engineering perspective, we are always looking for ways to streamline a project to get it under construction faster and more economically,” said Michael

Goodwin, vice president of Engineering. “We utilize OpenSite Designer land development software that is extremely helpful to develop concept plans in live interaction with project owners, contractors and other teammembers. Itallowsustoreadilydevelop multiple design alternatives and can even provide high level cost estimating. We have used this tool with great success in recent yearsaswebegintoshapeaprojectfromthe client’s mind to paper and ultimately to the build. Tools like this have really helped cut downtheefforttodevelopcivildesignplans, and ultimately help to minimize the site development costs.”

Technology has changed the construction process from the earliest phases of planning through to a project’s completion. Gone are the days of thick binders filled with paperwork that are handed over to the client at the end of a project, only to sit on a shelf and collect dust. The more sophisticated firms deliver those closeout packages digitally now.

“Webegantoaskwhatvaluecanwebring a client at the end of a project that is atypical from a standard closeout package,” said O’Connell. “They’ve become more digital of course, but to take it one step further we’ve developed a closeout dashboard to help clients access all their project’s data evenfaster.Thisenablesthemtomakequick decisions and to implement preventative maintenance plans and tools to avoid potential catastrophes.”

Closeout dashboards are an interactive PDF interface where Skanska USA’s team links all the project’s closeout information, including contact lists for vendors, warranty information and OEM information, into a digital user interface where all the information is stored and easy to access.

The amount of technology available can be overwhelming. Data collection apps, drones, robots, virtual reality devices and artificial intelligence software all combine to contributetotheefficiencyandsafety of a job site.

A technology that is right for one construction firm may not be needed by another. How do you know where to start?

Construction trade shows and conferences are a great place to learn more about available technologies and speak with manufacturer representatives and current customers.

Requesting a demonstration by a construction software company or drone manufacturer is another way to see exactly how a particular technology can benefit your operation.  CEG

RISK from page 28

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

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

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

• Fix your eyes on your high-value assets.

Implement enhanced oversight of your investments to prevent inventory shrink and theft, urges Grant Thornton.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Incorporate a centralized system for oversight for labor compliance, one of the most manipulated costs on a construction project.

Identify and analyze labor rate anomalies against requirements and address them with management, project owner and governing bodies. Companies that manage numerous projects should develop a standardized process to collect, process, analyze and identify labor insights, believes Grant Thornton.

• Build audit rights into the contract.

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

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

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

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

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