Aggregate Production and Recycling Section

For SBM Mineral Processing, Hybrid Continues ‘By Nature’

For almost 40 years, SBM Mineral Processing has been consistently using diesel-electricdrivesystemsandisasupplier of cross-technological hybrids for trackmobile jaw and impact crushers from under 50,000 to 350,000 lbs. operating weight.

Due to their sophisticated drive concept, the JAWMAX and REMAX plants rank at the top of their respective machine classes regarding crusher dimensions and production output without making any compromisesconcerningtheirmobilitybetweensitesor on the site, the manufacturer said.

Homogeneous Concept for All Types of Machines

SBM pursues a homogeneous concept for all of its plants to ensure the significant benefits of diesel-electric drive systems in all power classes. Depending on the market region, this also includes a plug-in option that enables the all-electric complete operationoftheplantsviamainspowerorexternal generators.

In addition to significantly lower onsite emissions in terms of exhaust gases and noise, all-electric operation brings considerable operating cost savings, the manufacturer said.

Paralleltotheexpansionofitsglobalsales activities, SBM is working at full speed to make the plug-in option technically available in important regions, such as the North American markets.

The centerpiece of all hybrid electrified SBM mobiles plants consists of a dieselgenerator-unit with emission-optimized Cummins diesel engines and directly flanged low-maintenance generators. The compactdriveunitsarepositionedoutsideof the dust-intensive machine zones.

As standard, the control cabinets are additionallyoverpressuredandcanbeheated/airconditioned for extremely difficult operations. In optional plug-in operation, the plant is supplied by the grid or by alternative external power sources (gen sets) at the control cabinet — activation is easy and safe by simply switching the central master switch before starting the plant.

From this moment on the central SBM plantcontrolsystemCrushControlautomat-

ically starts, monitors and controls the individualmachinecomponentsduringcrushing operations. Depending on machine type and equipment (scalpers, discharge conveyors, additional screens, etc.), up to 20 electric motors with a power input of 750 W (sprinkling)upto250kW(crusher)areusedinthe

SBM plants.

The working hydraulics system (crusher gapsetting,hydrauliccylinders,etc.)andthe proportional traction drive are energized by two electrically operated pumping systems and circuits that are activated separately. This improves the energy footprint, for

example by eliminating the unnecessary stand-by status of the track motors, and assures full functionality of the systems in all-electric operation.

In contrast to diesel-electric plants equipped with significantly more on-board hydraulics, SBM minimizes the oil quantitiesrequiredonboardtoforexampleonly20 gal. compared to about 50 gal. respectively more than 160 gal. required by fully dieselhydraulic models in the 40-ton class.

Instead of using complex hydraulic pipings meaning high thermal losses resp. costly oil cooling, all other drive systems and appliances in SBM plants are connected via break-proof cables, which practically eliminates environmentally critical leaks and corresponding breakdowns, according to the manufacturer.

Without the detour via hydraulic control blocks, electric activation ensures continuousquickresponseofthevariousplantcomponentsandfacilitateseasyandsimpleadaptation of feeding rates, screening capacities, or frequency-converter-controlled “extras” such as the automatic dedusting of chutes.

All SBM mobile plants feature a sophisticated hybrid drive system, available in many market regions with optional plug-in option for all-electric grid operation.

Efficient, Eco-Friendly

The degree of efficiency of diesel-electric drive systems can be considerably increased if energy-intensive hydraulic drive components are eliminated. At about 80 percent, the efficiency exceeds that of diesel-electric systems without or with optimized load-dependent control (ca. 40 percent / ca. 50 percent); and with grid connection the efficiency factor comes to more than even 90 percent. And this of course directly influences fuel consumption: The diesel engines of the SBM plants operating at a speed of 1,500 to 1,800 rpm adjustable in steps consume more than 40 percent less than all-hydraulic systems.

Compared to models with directly driven crushers, consumptionisstillreducedby20percent,themanufacturersaid.

Giventhesharpincreaseinfuelpricesandinspiteofvarying electricity costs, it can be assumed that the 60 percent benefit in energy costs due to all-electric grid operation still ratingasaruleofthumbhaslongagofurthershiftedinfavor of hybrid technology. By now SBM anticipates that due to saving operational costs, diesel-electric hybrid plants with a high all-electric workload will — due to lower maintenance costs resulting from less wear and a longer service life — fully pay off even over a few years only.

With full flexibility in diesel-autarkic operation where SBM hybrids provide further environmental benefits on top ofthereducedhydraulicvolumeandtheconsumption-based low emissions of their EU-stage-V-power plants: Thus, the elaborately enclosed diesel-generator units win over due to

low noise emissions without load-dependent fluctuations. If switched over to all-electric operation, the noise generated bythesameplantwilldecreasebyanother6dBsignificantly reducing noise emissions depending on geographical surroundings, the manufacturer said. Even in all-electric “zero-emission” operation, possible effects on the immediate working environment are para-

This grants hybrid electrified plants a key competitive edge — not to mention the great image bonus of a company reducing its CO² footprint. For more information, visit www.sbm-mp.at. 

New FAE BL1/SSL Forestry Mulcher for Skid Steers Range From 45 to 65 Hp

FAE introduced a new forestry mulcher for small skid steers: the BL1/SSL/VT for vehicles from 45 to 65 hp, which can shred vegetation, shrubs, and trees up to 4 in. in diameter.

It can be used for vegetation maintenance along roadsides, railroad tracks, the banks of canals, rivers, lakes, managing and protecting wildlife habitats, maintaining vineyards and orchards, commercial and resi dential green areas and sports grounds.

The head is designed for high productivi ty, durability and easy maintenance.

The BL1/SSL/VT’s Variable Torque (VT) piston engine boosts mulcher per formance compared to a fixed-cylinder engine, increasing torque when an extra boost of power is needed and minimizing rotor stalling, according to the manufacturer.

In the field, the mulcher operates with the maximum torque needed, for enhanced performance while optimizing fuel consumption.

The Bite Limiter technology on this head is ideal for high productivity in managing vegetation, with reliably efficient shredding. The rotor with Bite Limiter technology

comes with special wear-resistant steel profiles that limit the reach (bite) of the teeth. This cuts down on power demand and promotes a consistent working speed, for enhanced performance when mulching any kind of wood.

The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and helps optimize fuel consumption, the manufacturer said. The Spike Pro counter blades ensure low power absorption and a finer final product. Spike Pros are interchangeable offset counter blades that enable finer shredding and a smoother flow of wet material.The special design also makes them efficient with very rigid and more flexible vegetation.

The flagship features of the BL1/SSL are completed with a high-visibility profile, helping the operator to optimize work, and interchangeable and adjustable skids for greater precision.

The new BL1/SSL/VT can be equipped with MINI BL blades or MINI C/3 teeth and is available in a width of 49 in.

Heidelberg Materials Celebrates Opening of Its New Cement Plant in Mitchell, Ind.

On June 13, Heidelberg Materials celebrated the opening of its new cement plant in Mitchell, Ind. The facility will be the second largest cement plant in NorthAmerica and one of the most technologically advanced and sustainable ever built. Heidelberg Materials management from around the world joined federal, state and local leaders to officially cut the ribbon on the historic investment in Lawrence County.

“Our Mitchell project instills pride in our rich history and provides an exciting look into the future of cement productionatthesametime,”saidDominikvonAchten,Heidelberg Materials CEO. “The plant will substantially contribute to Heidelberg Materials’ offering of low-carbon cement and concrete — it is the springboard to becoming the first fully decarbonizedcementplantintheU.S.Itrepresentsourcommitment to further strengthening our North American footprint and increasing the sustainability of our products.”

“Heidelberg Materials’ investment is indicative of great things to come for the state of Indiana and demonstrates the caliber of investments our state continues to attract,” said Gov. Eric. J. Holcomb. “Heidelberg Materials’ world-class advanced technology and globally recognized sustainable practices are a perfect fit as we look to attract more companies that will help us build out our future-focused economy. I couldn’t be more grateful for their confidence in our Hoosierworkforceandtheircommitmenttogrowingtogether.”

ThenewMitchellplantiscomprisedofadvancedtechnology and design features to meet ambitious production and capacity goals.Anew automated lab, a smart motor control center to collect and communicate data and a high-speed automated rotary-type packing machine capable of filling 3,600 full-sized (94-lb.) bags per hour will dramatically increase efficiency.

TheMitchellplantwillbecapableofproducingmorethan 2.4 million tons of cement a year and is expected to help address United States’ cement supply chain constraints. It opens on the heels of the 2021 passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This federal legislation provides historically high levels of funding for surface transportation needs, including $110 billion to repair roads, bridges and

support major infrastructure projects.

A noticeable feature of the site is the 219-ft. wide, 164-ft. high storage dome, which can hold154,000tonsofclinker,the intermediate material produced in the manufacture of Portland cement. The structure was built with Heidelberg Materials’ EcoCem PLC, the company’s lower-carbon Portland Limestone Cement, and is the largest dome constructed of this product in NorthAmerica.

With the increased capacity and commitment to efficient delivery, Heidelberg Materials isimprovingthefacility’sdistributionprocess.Thecompany will be bringing on an additional 1,000 rail cars to serve the newly renovated rail yard near the site. The new distribution terminal accommodates 32,000 tons of additional cement storage.

“The plant will reduce clinker production carbon dioxide emissions per ton of product by almost 30 percent mainly throughoperatingonnaturalgas,”saidChrisWard,president and CEO of Heidelberg Materials North America. “Our investment in the Mitchell facility helps us lower our carbon footprint while serving the growing demand for more sustainable products in this key market.”

ThenewfacilitywillprimarilyproduceEcoCemPLC,the company’s durable cement produced with a significantly smaller carbon footprint.Additionally, Heidelberg Materials isleveragingfundingfromtheU.S.DepartmentofEnergyat the site to study the feasibility of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) at the site.

“There is a great sense of pride among the workers here and the community,” said Tracy Crowther, Mitchell plant manager. “The innovations in the plant are a nod to the legacyofgenerationsofpeoplewhohaveworkedinthisindustry here in Indiana.”

The new Mitchell plant is adding more than 50 full-time jobs to the 120 already employed at the site. Construction began in 2019, and more than 1,000 construction jobs were created as a result of the project. Despite delays from the global COVID-19 pandemic, the project was completed on schedule.

Bobcat Company, a global compact equipment, innovation and worksite solutions brand, on June 15 celebrated the completion of its $5.3 million renovation at its Johnson Creek, Wis., location.The Johnson Creek facility manufactures mowers, turf and grounds maintenance equipment.

“We continue to make investments in our facilities and operations, as part of our commitment to support our employees with a collaborative, inspiring workplace and to serve as a strong community partner where we operate,” said Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat NorthAmerica.

The investment in the Johnson Creek facility modernized the office and employee spaces with an openconcept design, which includes multiple meeting and conference rooms, updated furniture and an enhanced employee break room.

The renovations are consistent with the interior design, finishes and furnishings of other Bobcat locations throughout North America. Featuring open seating and no cubicles, the space is intended to encourage collaboration, drive innovation and support crossfunctional teamwork. As an ode to its Wisconsin location, the facility’s meeting rooms are named for various local wildlife such as Badger, Whitetail Deer, Red Fox, Sandhill Crane and

Bald Eagle.

The renovation additionally transformed the former employee break room into a more versatile and welcoming café area.

Exterior building signage also received a refresh aligned with Bobcat facility branding throughout North America.

“Seeing the many enhanced spaces throughout the facility and the new Bobcat signage has been exciting, and we are so appreciative of the support

from our employees and construction partners during this process,” said Chris Knipfer, vice president of grounds maintenance equipment business, Doosan Bobcat North America.

“Johnson Creek is an important part of our company’s operations, and we are thrilled to build on our success here in Wisconsin.”

Crews Raise Road to Prevent Flooding Due to Sandy Soil

Construction and subcontractors including APAC Shears began looking closely at constructing K-14 in Rice and Reno counties, theysawitwasnotaseasyasitmightappear at first glance.

First, the road needed to be raised 5 ft. to prevent future flooding.

Second, the proposed path for the twolane road led across sandy soil. It was hardly ideal to support a highway that would carry motorists, truckers and massive farm equipment that would be traveling this road.

The new road will bypass the communities of Sterling and Nickerson. It also will carry traffic to Hutchinson, an important community in the region that also is home to the Cosmosphere, a space museum and STEM education center.

The $82 million road project began in 2020 and is scheduled to be completed this summer. The newly built roadbed would support a four-lane road, should one be necessary in the future. K-14 will have off ramps for Sterling and Nickerson.

Thenewroadis24ft.widewithshoulders 8ft.wide.Theprojectrequiredapproximately4.5millioncu.yds.ofcontractorfurnished fill dirt and 300,000 cu. yds. of common excavation.

“This area is primarily sandy soil across theArkansas Valley river basin,” said Loren Schroeder, project manager of Bergkamp.

“We wanted to minimize the number of borrow pits required so we brought in a dredge to excavate 50 to 60 feet deep and acquire thematerialweneeded.Thepitswerestrategically located close to major interchanges where large amounts of material were needed. We used the dredge to bring up the sand, put it into trucks and then route it to all parts

of the road project.”

Clay was used in the top 18 in. of subgrade and the top 6 in. of subgrade also required cement stabilization, which Bob Bergkamp Construction performed. Bob Bergkamp Construction used Trimble Total Station Machine Control to achieve precise vertical and horizontal alignment.

Pavement Mix

The new road required 240,000 tons of asphalt. The asphalt was produced by a portable plant brought into nearby Dickerson specifically for the job.

Oncethesubgradeissuesweresolved,the construction team fromAPAC Shears built a 10-in.-thickdense-gradedpavement.Theroad was topped with a Superpave mix, which is used for interstates across the country.

Theroaddesigncalledfora6-in.baseand 2.5-in. intermediate course with polymermodified asphalt cement. The road and shoulders were topped with a 1.5-in. layer. The shoulders were 6-in. thick, capable of supporting traffic when repairs of the mainline road become necessary in the future.

The asphalt mix used limestone that came from more than two hours away by truck.

Technology

The project utilized cutting-edge technology.WhileoneofKansas’smostfamousfictional characters could have used his x-ray visiontodeterminetheexactdepthandcomposition of the mix, Kansas DOT (KDOT) requires more verifiable proof.

The paving team also used a Tiny Mobile Robot to lay out the paving. The robot uses GPS to paint lines to follow with increased accuracy.

MSB Excavating Relies On SmithCo for Hauling Needs

By Katherine Petrik CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

MSB Excavating & Tilling is an excavating, demolition, drainage and grading contractor in Howard Lake, Minn. The company, established in 2018, specializes in earthwork operations, installing drain tile, cleaning ditches and installing culverts, as well as building demolition.

MSB was contracted to clean out County Ditch 31 in Wright County just south of Waverly, Minn. The job required tree, stump, sediment removal and spoil leveling; cleaning 9,500 ft. of drainage ditch; adding new drainage culverts; and clearing 4 acres of brush and trees.

“We opened up the ditch for spring and will be going back to finish final grading, and remove any remaining stumps and spoils,” said Michael Bickman, owner of MSB Excavating & Tilling. “We had great weather for the project this spring, before everything became too soft.”

Along with a crew of five running chainsaws, equipment being used for this job included a 2010 Komatsu PC270 excavator; a 2004 Komatsu PC220 excavator with a custom grapple and custom 8-ft. bucket for dredging and clearing; and a Kubota track machine.

Mike Flynn Bids Farewell to ‘Iron Business’After 50 Years

Mike Flynn, Felling Trailers’

Northeastern regional sales manager, bid farewell to life as a trailer sales rep after 22 years with the company. He decided to retire from the “iron business” in January of 2023.

A relationship that started in late 1999 whenFlynnmetwithMerleFelling(founder and COB of Felling Trailers), having their first conversations on Flynn representing the Felling Trailers brand in the Northeast. At that time, Felling was looking to expand their dealer distribution network beyond the Upper Midwest into the Northeast.

In 2000, Flynn signed on with Felling Trailers as an independent trailer sales rep for the Northeast region covering Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Maryland, D.C. and Delaware.

No stranger to the iron business, when Flynn was 13, his father started his own short-line distribution company after 13 years of representing John Deere overseas.

“I got involved with his business from the ground up working weekends, and as I got older, I became more involved with every aspect of the business itself,” said Flynn.

They sold a wide variety of equipment: ag, light industrial equipment (including equipment trailers), domestic and foreign

importing equipment such as Belarus tractors, and tillage equipment from Germany and Italy.

Flynn learned every facet of the business, from equipment assembly and delivery to sales and dealer training on their extensive line of products. In 1990, he left the family business to be an independent rep on his own.

“I repped for Harley Rock Rakes along with Dynaweld trailers for nine years until the company was sold after the owner passed in a tragic plane crash. One of my dealershadheardofFellingTrailersandsuggested I check them out,” said Flynn.

He also represented Liddell Trailers for a period of nine years, selling their heavy haul productsthatwerehighercapacitythanwhat Fellingwasmanufacturingatthetime.Flynn represented Liddell until 1999, when the owner passed, and the company was sold. While representing Felling, Flynn also took on Rogers from 2007 to 2021 to supplement the heavy haul trailers that Liddell had been making.

Throughout his time with FellingTrailers, Flynn grew the company’s dealer base and brandawarenessfrombeing“thenewkidon the block,” as he put it, to a well-recognized leader in the trailer manufacturing space with more than 50 dealers throughout the

northeast region.

“Mike Flynn had started with Felling Trailers as an independent trailer sales rep back in 2000 and was the driving force in establishing the Felling brand in the Northeastern U.S. We wish him the best in his retirement,” said Pat Jennissen, VP of sales and marketing, Felling Trailers.

“I never thought of my career as work. I had a passion for the challenges of marketing new quality products, meeting new people, and covering the beautiful Northeast,” said Flynn.

Never slowing down, Flynn continued establishing new dealers and selling trailers until he retired. Joining the team for one

more hoorah, he made his final appearance with the Felling Sales team at the 2023 ConExpo-Con/AGG show in LasVegas this past March. Many of Felling’s Northeastern dealers that Flynn had established over the years stopped to visit and wish him well.

“Mike has been instrumental in the development of the dealer network in the Northeast U.S. In addition to being a longtime colleague, he’s been a great friend and a mentor to me. I learned a tremendous amount of invaluable information from him, for which I’m extremely grateful. Mike, you’ve worked hard your entire life, and now it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Congratulations on your retirement,” said Nathan Uphus, sales manager, Felling Trailers.

Sinceretiring,Flynnandhiswife,Wendy, have relocated from their home in Fayetteville, N.Y., to their vacation home in Naples, Fla., to enjoy the golf course life.

“We plan on ‘over-recreating,’ as we call it, with all that we have here for amenities. We want to spend more time with our two sons, their families, and our grandson, as well as traveling the remainder of the world we haven’t seen yet while visiting friends and family along the way.”

Komatsu’sGHGAllianceLearnsAboutProgressTowardGoals

Komatsu gathered members of the company’s Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Alliance at the Komatsu ArizonaProvingGrounds(AZPG) to share progress and highlight knowledge gained since the EVX (battery-powered haul truck) was showcased at MINExpo 2021.

At the event, alliance members had the opportunity to directly observe advancements made over the past year related to the performance and sizing of batteries, engage in a discussion on recent progress within the regulatory environment and learn how Komatsu plans to leverage the company’s trolley system to advance understanding of battery truck performance in a dynamic charging environment.

Specifically, alliance members saw the upgraded EVX (battery) truck running a circuit on battery, static charging of the battery with the truck hooked up to the trolley line via pantograph, and a run up the trolley line highlighting the battery being charged and

increased speed in the dynamic environment.

The GHG Alliance was created to bring together mining industry leaders to work toward a shared goal of delivering zero-emissions equipment solutions. Alliance members have since been working to advance Komatsu’s power

agnostic truck concept for a haulage vehicle that can run on a variety of power sources including diesel engine, battery and even hydrogenfuelcellswithbothstatic and dynamic charging capabilities. Since the alliance was formed, membership has steadily grown and now includes the following

companies:

ï Boliden

ï Codelco

ï Freeport-McMoRan

ï Grupo Mexico

ï Kinross

ï Rio Tinto

ï Teck

“Our alliance members were able to experience the substantive continuation of a journey that was started at MINExpo 2021 as we have advanced our understanding and development of this critical technology,” said Pat Singleton, product director of Electric Drive Trucks.

“The past year has been filled with collaborative efforts between alliance members, technology partners and other industry stakeholders dedicated to achieving our common goals of delivering zeroemissions solutions to the mining industry.”

Komatsu is committed to minimizing environmental impact through its business, targeting a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from use of its products and production of its equipment by 2030 (compared to 2010 levels) and a challenge target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

MSB’s SmithCo Side Dump Balances Small, Large Loads

“All the equipment worked great, and we had no issues or problems,” said Bickman.

Brose Farms, also of Howard Lake, was contracted to haul the cleared material from the site. The company used its 2005 Mack truck with a SmithCo side dump trailer. Crews loaded the trailer using the excavators and track machine.

The SmithCo side dump trailer model is a SX3-4234 triaxle. This trailer has a waterfull capacity of 23 cu. yds. and heaped capacity of 31 cu. yds. With its third axle lift, it has a shorter turning radius than a standard 40-ft. tandem.

“This is a great all-around trailer that works well in most states,” said Duane Meyers, SmithCo district sales manager. “It is great to see companies like MSB and Brose find value in SmithCo, as these trailers work hard for many, many years.”

SmithCo was founded in 1994 by Greg Smith, who was frustrated by industry standards of that time. He had the idea to create a side dump trailer that would meet the

Federal Bridge Formula, eliminate end dump tip-over danger and increase efficiency. They can haul material as small as fine sand or as big as boulders.

The company began by building three trailers. Within four years, the company was producing 250 trailers annually. In 1999, the company moved to its current factory with the capability to build more than 1,000 trailers per year. SmithCo has continually added new models now spanning from single axles to the recently introduced seven axle SX7.

SmithCo serves a variety of markets, including road and building contractors, aggregate producers, agriculture, demolition, mining, waste handling, environmental cleanup and more. In addition to its standard models, SmithCo offers custom design for any application.

“The side dump from SmithCo works great as it handles a large load and is well balanced,” said Bickman. “It can drop the trees and return pretty quickly. It works great for what we are looking for.”

PACCAR, Toyota Expand Collaboration

PACCAR and Toyota Motor North America Inc. announced an expansion of their joint efforts to develop and producezeroemissions,hydrogenfuel cell (FCEV) Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks powered by Toyota’s next-generation hydrogen fuel cell modules.

The expanded agreement supports ongoing development and commercialized zero-emission versions of the Kenworth T680 and Peterbilt 579 models featuring Toyota’s hydrogen fuel cell powertrain kit, with initial customer deliveries planned for 2024.

PACCAR andToyota have collaborated on FCEV truck development for the past several years, including a successful pilot program which deployed 10 Kenworth T680 FCEV trucks at the Port of LosAngeles.The pilot provided both Kenworth and Toyota with real-world feedback that further enhanced the performance and range of the vehicle.

Designed for use in heavy-duty commercial vehicles, Toyota’s heavyduty fuel cell electric powertrain kit was recently awarded the Zero Emission Powertrain certification by the California Air Resources Board (CARB). Toyota will begin assembly of the modules in the United States in late 2023.

John Rich, PACCAR chief technology officer, said, “Having worked

extensively with the Toyota team, we are confident that our combined efforts can deliver industry leading FCEV trucks with all of the quality, reliability and aftermarket support that Kenworth and Peterbilt customers depend upon. This partnership further expands PACCAR’s industry-leading lineup of zero emissions vehicles that enhance customers’ operational efficiency and reduce their environmental impact.”

“We are excited to work with PACCAR to realize a future where

Toyota’s industry leading hydrogen fuel cell technology can power heavyduty trucks that will travel across highways throughout the U.S. with zero emissions,” said Christopher Yang, TMNA group vice president of Business Development.

“This innovative technology enables us to provide our commercial customers with a viable carbon-neutral option to further their business, while also contributing to Toyota’s mission to reduce and ultimately eliminate carbon from the environment.” 

Rosen&Co.’sSecond-GenerationOwner, Stanley H. Rosen, PassesAway atAge 91

Stanley H. Rosen of Beachwood, Ohio, passed away on June 11, 2023, at the age of 91. He was the second-generation owner of Rosen & Co. Inc. Auctioneers in Cleveland, Ohio.

Born on Feb. 6, 1932, in Pueblo, Colo., Mr. Rosen excelled in his career as an auctioneer, real estate broker and machinery appraiser. With dedication and determination, he made significant contributions to his field and lead the way for the third generation to continue the business which his great uncles, Gus and Ralph Rosen, started in Cleveland in 1917. They became well-known throughout the Midwest, attaining an enviable reputation for fair dealing, hard work, integrity and perseverance.

Mr. Rosen continued to grow the business under those principles. His commitment to excellence was an inspiration to all, and he will be remembered for his remarkable achievements.

Beyond his professional endeavors, he had a passion for music and graduated from the University of Colorado with a degree in music education. Early on, he was a high school band teacher/director and later in life played in several concert bands. Whether he was making music or calling an auction, he approached everything with enthusiasm and a zest for life.

He was a loving husband to his late wife Ida, and father to Joel (Claire) Rosen, Sheila (Marvin) Schiff, Jay (Diane) Rosen. He also is survived by grandchildren Carly, Hannah,

Eric (Jessica), Hallie and Dr. Goje (grand dog), and his great-grandson Parker. He also will be missed by former son-in-law Gary (Courtney) Friedman, and his caregivers Angie, LeWanna, Connie and Marcia.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to Bikur Cholim of Cleveland, Beachwood Kollel or American Cancer Association in his memory.

Focus On Specific ‘Pain Points’When Software Shopping

Estimating and takeoff are just two aspects of a project bid, and it’s important to know the differences between the two.

Withestimatingsoftware,acontractorcan providetheclientwithmoreaccuratefigures a lot sooner.

A construction takeoff is an extensive list of material amounts and costs for a project. All materials including raw and manufactured items are accounted for before a construction takeoff is considered a success.

A takeoff software program allows the contractor to provide the client with a morecomplete construction plan. Of course, takeoff and estimating software aren’t the only two software options for construction businesses, said Collin Couey of softwareadvice.com.

Other construction software options will integrate with project scheduling, project management or even accounting software.

Which type of software is the most practical investment for your construction business? Do you need both?

“Itallcomesbacktoknowingwhatissues you need your software to solve in order to find the best software solution for your business,” Couey said.

Getting Estimate Right

Thoughtheclientunderstandsanestimate is not the final number, if it’s “way off the mark,” you could lose your credibility as a contractor.

Coueysaidestimatinginaccuraciescanbe the result of incorrect pricing data, faulty schedules or manual errors.

Manual estimating requires extensive research. Project details and client needs have to be figured into pricing lists before numbers can be set. The estimating phase is a time-eater when you’re flying without technologyandcancostyourcompanyifthe client rejects your bid.

“If you’re facing these issues and are constantly worried that your quotes aren’t accurate, it’s time to consider using construction estimating software.”

Estimatingsoftwareallowstheusertoformulate the exact cost of project material quantities and labor, said Couey.

“What might have taken you hours to put together will instead take minutes,” he said.

Some estimating software can even scan material costs from a large database from your area of the country. The user simply provides the system with a zip code or geographical location, and the technology provides them with the best price options.

Couey added that this process not only saves the contractor time, it also ensures they’re able to provide an accurate estimate asquicklyaspossible.Usingestimatingsoftware can increase the accuracy of your con-

struction quotes and provide your business an edge over your competitors. Plus, the quick turnaround “will net you more work and happier clients,” he said.

The user no longer has to worry about complexcodesorformulasbecausethesoftware will do all the calculations for them.

“Also, if your client wants to add or subtract something [in] the initial bid, you can make adjustments on the fly,” said Couey.

Ensuring Smooth Takeoff

The size and scope of a project can determine how simple or complex the takeoff phase of a project will be, said Meghan Townley of Buildertrend.

“Usingtakeoffsoftwareisone of the best ways to start your construction estimate,” she said.

Townley believes the technology can improve accuracy, save time and money, increase efficiency and give the contractor a competitive edge.

“At a time when material costs are at a premium, the margin for error is small,” she said. “It’s essential to ensure the measurements for your construction projects are as comprehensive and accurate as possible.”

Using takeoff software is the contractor’s “keytosuccess”whenitcomestoestimating and bidding precisely. Consider how many interruptions happen in the middle of figuring quantities of construction materials.

“How long did it take you to get back to where you were? Did you have to start over?” asked Townley. “With takeoff software, you’re able to measure directly from the blueprints using a scale tool.”

She said, in fact, the software’s digital, color-coded calculations can keep your estimates organized and accurate, so nothing gets missed. Using digital blueprint features mean less miscommunication and rework. Nomoremanuallyhuntingfordiscrepancies or changes in blueprints.

“Instead of hunting for the differences between revised blueprints, the digital overlay feature highlights the changes for you,” said Townley. “With paper blueprints, it’s easy to miss the little details that may have shifted, but with digital drawings, you’ll catch mistakes before they happen.”

The benefits are reduced labor costs, fewer risks, a higher bid win ratio and happy clients, she said.

“This competitive advantage won’t just save you money but will hopefully bring in some new business.”

Digitizingblueprintsmeansthecontractor no longer has to worry about continuous reprinting of the project plan for various

teams and crew members. The entire operation can have access to updates in real-time, “so everyone’s on the same page,” said Townley.

“In an industry as competitive as construction, the more you can do to stand out, the better,” she said.

less effort.

In selecting software, Couey advised contractorstotrymultiplefreetrialsandproduct demos. He also suggests having a backup plan if your first choice doesn’t offer a free program trial.

“Free trials aren’t always available, so it’s importanttohaveagameplanifyour top choice doesn’t let you take a test drive before purchasing.”

Keepinmind,aswell,thatyoucan almostalwaysgetahands-ondemonstration with the software before making any decisions, he said.

And “utilize free trials with intention,” said Couey. “Use the free trial during your next job to see if it helps alleviate the pain points you need it to.”

Write down any questions you might have so that you can ask the vendor about them.

“With a free trial, you’ll be much more informed and equipped to go into a demonstration with a vendor to maximize the information you get.”

Being able to create estimates quickly allows the contractor more time to review and even present bids ahead of schedule.

“Implementing takeoff software will give you an advantage over your competitors who are still using a manual estimating process.”

Determining What You Need

Couey suggests that if you’re shopping for the best type of software for your construction business needs, focus on “specific pain points” you want alleviated.

“For instance, if you find yourself unable to provide quotes to potential customers in a timely fashion, you might be losing out on revenue.”

Additionally, you might find that the quotes you’re giving out aren’t accurate, he said.

“Generally, as a business owner, you will need to figure out what part of your business is lacking automation.”

Ask yourself what part do you spend the most time on. If it’s scheduling, invest and focus on software suites with more robust scheduling features. During your workday, notethepartsofyourjobthateatupthemost time. Is it managing the project schedule? Calculating quotes? Measuring the takeoff?

“That’s how you’ll figure out what you need your software to solve,” said Couey.

Based on the quantity of projects you’re completing or the estimates you’re providing, you might not need the added efficiency takeoff software provides. But if you’re overwhelmedandunabletokeepupwiththe demand, takeoff software will provide more complete, detailed construction plans with

Also be sure to provide the vendor with specific use cases. Think through what makes your job inefficient and provide a specific, real-world example. That way the vendor can show you exactly how their software can help solve that issue, said Couey. Complete multiple demos before you decide.Thefirstcanjustbeyouandthevendor. But bring in other potential users of the software for subsequent demos.

“They might have different questions or concernsthatyouhadn’tconsideredbefore,” said Couey.

Consult peers in your software search. Even if you start from ground zero, so many resources are available to help you out, he continued.

“The first place you can start is asking your colleagues what software they use.” Word of mouth is “king” when it comes to finding solutions.

“Don’t tackle software selection alone,” said Couey. “Listen to the advice from your peers who have gone through the same struggles.Ask for help.”

He also suggested reading reviews, talking to vendors and trying out multiple options.

“As long as you utilize the resources availabletoyou,youwillalmostcertainlybe in a better position once you’ve acquired software.”

In the end, you’ll be more efficient operationally and you’ll be able to provide more accurate quotes in a quicker time frame.

“You’ll spend less time worrying about takeoff or estimating, and your project management will be more smooth,” said Couey.

Estimating software allows the user to formulate the exact cost of project material quantities and labor.

KDOTTakesAdvantage of Technology to Build New Road

“This system works well and is very convenient,” said Tom Stivers ofAPAC Shears.

His team handled the paving part of the job.

“It sure beats having to set up 100milesofstringlinetofollow.”

Stivers likes the accuracy of theequipment,butalsofavorsthe man hours saved.

“It’s no secret that it is difficult to get the right people for our jobs.Theoldwaycantaketwoto three people full time to do testing of the finished road. This equipment requires just a single skilled person.”

Another piece of technology that Stivers saw is the proliferation of electric powered equipment — not just vehicles.

“One Friday I saw another contractorgetoutofhistruckand pull out a Stihl saw to cut off a piece of asphalt,” said Stivers. “It was an electric saw, with no wires, of course. He used it to easily cut off a piece of asphalt.”

Green technology is becoming influential in the construction industry. But perhaps the greenest technology is an old practice.

“We incorporated 15 percent recycled asphalt products [RAP] into our road mix,” said Stivers. “KDOT allowed us to do that because it is a great product and makes good sense economically.”

RAPis primarily composed of ground up pavement from old road projects. Often a rejuvenating mixture is added, and the old asphalt and rock are ready to live again as a new road.

Stivers and his team feel a senseofsatisfactionastheproject is getting ready to open to traffic in a few weeks.

“My family has been hearing me talk about this job for a long time,” he said “It will be fun for them to get to drive on it. But I know it will be great for local people to get on it as well. The road will be a time saver for everyone and a lot safer too.”

Once the subgrade issues were solved, the construction team from APAC Shears built a 10-in.-thick dense-graded pavement. The road was topped with a Superpave mix, which is used for interstates across the country.
