Helping Pavements Live Long, Prosper

Prestressing concrete with high-strength materials is one method of strengthen ing it. Steel cables inside the concrete are tensioned with a significant force, elongat ing them. They are then released, compressing the concrete. This prestressing reduces cracking from con crete shrinkage.

With landscaping companies across the country rolling out all-electric lawn mainte nance crews, it should be no surprise that electric construction equipment would find its way to the landscape industry as well. Electric construction equipment isn’t com pletely new, as hybrid diesel-electric machines have existed for a while.

Contractor Concerns

Justlikewiththeadoptionofbattery-pow ered handheld equipment, one of the major concerns landscape contractors have is whether these models have enough power to get the job done. Most manufacturers have projected runtimes, but in the end, it really depends on the usage of the machine.

“Heavier work may require a quick charge over lunch,” Arnold said. “It never hurts to charge when there is a pause in work. Testing has shown common runtimes of four to six hours.”

Compact excavators were one of the first types of construction equipment to be suc cessfully adapted to all-electric. An electric pump and battery replace the engine and hydraulic pump.

Landscape

David Caldwell, national product manag er of Takeuchi-US, agreed that the ability to chargethemachinewhileonthejoborswap outbatteriestoenablethemachinetocontin ue to operate is a challenge specific to the electric models. He added that the availabil ity of rare earth elements to build these ver sions and the initial cost of the machine also are“Theissues.most important thing is to clearly understand the utilization of the equipment and pair the right-sized electric motors and batteries to ensure the machines work in most applications,” said Lars Arnold, elec tromobility product manager of Volvo Construction Equipment. Odegaard said Volvo opted to create an all-electric compact track loader with the T7X because of the inefficiencies presented with the hydraulics system.

“I think the biggest challenge people have is to ensure that you’ve got comparable run times or extended runtimes as much as you can,” said Justin Odegaard, acceleration manager of Doosan Bobcat NorthAmerica.

The most recent debuts in compact con struction equipment are all-electric for the first time. You may have seen some models at recent trade shows that were a “proof of concept,” but others are getting ready to enter the market.

Caldwell said Takeuchi’s TB20e can run for a full day, depending on the application and“Aenvironment.keyfeature of the TB20e is its ability to run tethered to a power source should the battery begin to lose charge, allowing the operatortoremainonthejobandcontinueto work,” Caldwell said.

“For example, the battery technology used in the Volvo L25 [compact wheel loader] and ECR25 Electric [compact exca vator] is the same or similar to the one used in electric vehicles,” Arnold said. “As onroad EVs become more common, better charging infrastructure will follow, which will obviously benefit the off-road sector as well.”

Creating ConstructionElectricModels

The TB20e can charge in two to four hours with an external charger and charging with an onboard charger takes six to ten hours. Toro’s Ultra Buggy can deliver up to eight hours of runtime and also features an onboard charger. It can be plugged into a 110-volt socket and be fully charged in less than eight Bobcat’shours.T7X can get four hours of con tinuous runtime, but if the operator is doing less strenuous work, they can get more than four hours out of the machine.

Odegaard points out that contractors often claim they work a machine eight to 10 hours a day, but when you look at how long a machine is really being operated, it’s three to five hours as they pause, take breaks and so forth.They may let the machine idle the whole time, but they’re not operating it for 10 hours straight.

“When we looked at loaders, there were some concerns there with the size of the package and the time that we expected we would get out of a battery pack and running a hydraulic system,” Odegaard said. “Hydraulics are quite inefficient in the grand scheme of things.” When Toro decided to introduce the eDingo 500 in 2020, Jay Thaker, marketing managerofToro,saidtheyknewruggedbat

“The most important thing is to clearly understand the utilization of the equipment and pair the right-sized electric motors and batteries to ensure the machines work in most applications,” said Lars Arnold, electromobility product manager of Volvo Construction Equipment.

tery power would be part of the future. He said their engineers worked to build a machine that would provide all the benefits and power of a standard compact utility loader with zero engine exhaust emissions. They also recently introduced the wheeled electric Ultra Buggy in 2022.

“The battery technology used in the Volvo L25 [compact wheel loader] and ECR25 Electric [compact excavator] is the same or similar to the one used in electric vehi cles,” said Lars Arnold, electromobility product manager of Volvo Construction Equipment.

Highway Equipment, Canton Meets Challenges Head On

BRANCH

Mike White, Highway Equipment branch manager of both the dealership’s Zelienople headquarters location and the Canton branch makes a point to be in Canton two days every week.

Highway Equipment Company’s Mike Ross has recently taken on responsibilities as the Canton branch parts manager.(L-R) are Brandon Diehl, shop mechanic; Josh Howard, field service technician; Bo Utley, field service technician; and Tim Diss, service manager.

Approaching90yearsinbusi ness, Highway Equipment Company can attribute its longevity to a willingness to adapt to and embrace changing market conditions. Over the courseofitsnearlyninedecades, the company has learned to weather downturns — such as those experienced during the 2009 economic crisis — and maximize success during more prosperous times. The key is being aware of industry trends and positioning the company to address them. A few years ago, Highway Equipment Company was fortu nate enough to find itself at the epicenter of Pennsylvania’s fracking boom. At the time, Thom Reynolds, Highway Equipment Company president and CEO, understood the impact natural gas drilling would have on the region and recognized the oil and gas segment as primarily a rentalEstablishedbusiness.in1951, the deal ership’s rental division, Machinery Rental Company (MRC), provided ample experi ence in the rental business and the company was prepared to capitalize on opportunities with a ramped up rental fleet geared to theSupplymarket.chain issues, inflation, worker shortages and rising fuel costs are factors currently behind changing business dynamics in the construction industry.

Highway Equipment Company’s Canton, Ohio, branch has met the challenges of evolving market conditions head on by actively initiating moves to enhance its value proposition for the dealership’s customers in central and eastern Ohio. While maintaining a focus on equipment sales, the company also has focused on shoring up its rental fleet. Backed by the dealership’s seven locations in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina andVirginia, the Canton branch continues to grow its fleet with both new and usedmachines,includingequip ment lines carried by its other branches. The dealership’s line up of rental equipment includes all sizes of equipment such as light towers, air compressors and attachments to heavy exca vators and wheel loaders. The company is geared toward the needs of professional contrac tors as opposed to the weekend warrior. With the rising demand for parts and service resulting from extended lead times on new equipment, the branch has dedicated itself to meet the needs of its customers in those areas as well. The Canton branch’s fully stocked parts department has ready access to the dealership’s full parts warehouse. Mike

The fruits of research are not always immediately clear, but the nature of the test — hydraulic press versus concrete beam—broughtoutthevariouscolleges’socialmediastaff, who recognized strong visual content when they saw it, according to a recent news article on the UAwebsite.

On a recent July day, representatives from the University of Arkansas (UA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT)gatheredattheHarvellCivilEngineering Research and Education Center on the UA campus in Fayetteville to conduct a stress test on a concrete beam.

“You’relookingatplaceswherethere’sgoingtobeaneed for high density construction,” he explained. “So that means going up, going vertical and doing it safely. And, really, the only material that’s widely available and accessible to most of those regions is concrete, so concrete’s expected to be the number one material we use today.And it’s expected to just go up in use because we really haven’t found [any other] material that’s able to meet demands and still be safe.”

Harriss,whoseprimaryworkisingeometry,alsoholdsan appointment in the School ofArt. His stated desire is “to put mathematics in a playful, choice-driven space where people can play with or appreciate mathematics through art and sculpture.”Whenhe needed someone who could help fabricate the shapes he was dreaming up, using complex geometry, he reached out to Baker for help.

Baker is both anArkansas graduate and a current assistant professor in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design,whileHarrissisaclinicalassistantprofessorinmath in the university’s Fulbright College ofArts and Sciences.

This is important for reasons of both sustainability and economy, Ismail noted, as he has his eye on the developing world, where urban growth is expected to surge.

“I am deeply interested in exploring and innovating new ways of making physical objects and buildings,” Baker explained.Assuch, making Harriss’ sculpture a reality posed a fun challenge for her. She ultimately created a jig, or clamping setup, to allow flat sections to be successfully attached, or “zipped,” into curving steel forms. This method, paired with Harriss’ computational formulations, became the basis for their Zip-Form construction system, producing highly accu rate 3D curves with simplified fabrication techniques.

The efficient and economical software and manufacturing process proved so novel that the university, through its Technology Ventures office, later filed a provisional patent.

Themanresponsibleforthebeam’sdesignwasMohamed Ismail, a Ph.D. student in building technology at MIT — a discipline existing at the intersection of architecture and engineering. He was on hand to witness the crushing test in personandseemedvaguelynervousthatthebeammightnot perform as expected — a feeling heightened by the unusual degree of attention the stress test was receiving.

While the Zip-Form system was clearly innovative and could produce pleasing structures, Baker and Harriss knew there were more practical applications.

Now, such tests typically do not attract many onlookers, but this demonstration was meant to showcase a collabora tive new approach to beam design and optimization.

Among Ismail’s research interests is increasing the struc tural efficiency of building materials. In the case of concrete beams, that means minimizing the amount of concrete and steel used, including removing concrete from where it is not needed, and retaining it where it is.This resulted in his beam having a flat top but a base that curved in unanticipated ways.Heestimated that the beam in question contained 40 per cent less embodied carbon — the amount of carbon burned to produce the concrete and steel used in the beam — than standard rectangular beams.

Designed to carry 8,500 lbs., the beam eventually cracked after 12,000 lbs. of load were added. Photo courtesy of the University of Arkansas website (L-R) are Mohamed Ismail, Emily Baker and Bette Poblete at the U of A Civil Engineering Research and Education Center.

Together, they have been working on what they have dubbed the “Zip-Form” system. It arose out of an art project HarrisscreatedthroughtheHonorsCollege,whichultimate ly became the 12-ft.-tall Curvahedra sculpture outside UA’s Gearhart Hall — a spherical structure composed of a few curving steel strands.

see RESEARCH page 58

Although there are undoubtedly similar testing facilities closer to Boston, where Ismail lives and is a doctoral student atarguablythebestresearchuniversityintheworld,hecame to UA to crush his beam for two reasons: Emily Baker and Edmund Harriss.

Unique Geometric Shaping Techniques

MIT Researcher Tests Innovative Steel-Concrete Beam

Goal Is to Become More Efficient With Less

UA System Creates Formwork for Test Beam

Bette Poblete, a graduate research assistant in civil engi neering at UA who was conducting the stress test, noted it was one of the more interesting beam shapes she had encountered.“Ordinarily, we test rectangular beams,” she said. “There areacouplereasonswedothis:itsimplifiessomeofourcal culations and makes the construction more straightforward. In terms of calculations, we rely on the geometric dimen sionstohelppredictthestrengthofthebeams.Beforewetest any member, we calculate the predicted load at which it will fail. Then, we’ll compare our predicted loads to the actual loads. Since we use simpler shapes ordinarily, it makes the entire process easier.” In terms of testing Ismail’s beam, Poblete added, “This beam was longer than we usually test, so getting it into our load frame posed a fun challenge. We ended up using our crane and forklift simultaneously to place it on our supports. Also, since the beam was trapezoidal at the ends, we had to be especially careful not to chip the corners.”

CNBC analyzed the sustainability of each state’s roads and bridges, along with utilities, other travel means, and potential development. According to CNBC’s analysis, Indiana had an infrastructure score of 274 out of 380 points, leading to anA+ grade.

“The construction industry currently faces supply chain disruptions, unprecedented materials prices that are 44 per cent higher than they were before the COVID-19 pandemic and declining investment in nonresidential structures,” said Brubeck.“Because 87.4 percent of the construction industry does not belong to a union, government-registered apprenticeship program participation requirements for taxpayer-funded infrastructureprojectsarenotaholisticsolutiontotheskilled labor shortage, which is exacerbating historic levels of infla tion in the construction industry and undermining significant taxpayer investments in “Government-registeredinfrastructure.apprenticeship programs are only a key part of an all-of-the-above solution to workforce development,” said Brubeck.

ï $100 million to bring affordable high-speed fiber optic broadband access to unserved and underserved areas of the state.ï$90 million to connect more Hoosiers to hiking, biking and riding trails.

“ABC’s 68 chapters are educating craft, safety and man agementprofessionalsusinginnovativeandflexiblelearning models like just-in-time task training, competency-based progression and work-based learning in addition to more than 300 federal and state GRAPs across 20 different occu pations in order to develop a safe, skilled and productive workforce. In addition,ABC member companies administer hundreds of GRAPs independent of ABC’s network and invested an estimated $1.6 billion in construction workforce development in 2021.”

“Due to forward thinking leadership from Gov. Holcomb and the General Assembly, Indiana is capitalizing on longterm, sustainable funding to make transformative invest mentsininfrastructure,”INDOTCommissionerMikeSmith said. “Building out and maintaining our highways, local roads,trailsandsidewalksalongwithenhancingourairports, transit systems and broadband network are vital to making Indiana an even better place to live, work, play and learn.”

“Clearly, the government-registered apprenticeship sys tem is not meeting the industry’s need for skilled labor and cannotbetheonlysolutionsupportedbygovernmenttomeet industry demands and build a diverse workforce,” said Ben Brubeck, ABC vice president of regulatory, labor and state affairs.“Thisiswhylawmakersshouldsupportinclusive,allof-the-above solutions to workforce development as part of their efforts to attract and retain a diverse construction indus try workforce, especially during these economically chal lenging times.

Indiana has been ranked No. 1 for infrastructure in CNBC’s 2022Top States for Business annual rankings.This marks the sixth consecutive year Indiana has been ranked in the top five, including No. 1 rankings in 2016 and 2019.

New lanes of the I-69 Finish Line project opened to traffic in Martinsville last year. The project is expected to open to traffic between Martinsville and Indianapolis by the end of 2024.

“Indiana continues to attract national and global attention for leading the way in providing quality infrastructure for residents and businesses,” Gov. Eric J. Holcomb said. “This No. 1 ranking affirms our approach to making strategic investments in transformative projects, our strong commit ment to taking care of what we have, and our close collabo rationwithlocalcommunitiesandprivatepartners.I’mlook ing forward to building on our momentum to further lever age our competitive advantage on infrastructure.”

DOL data indicate that the construction industry’s federal government-registered apprenticeship system produced just 24,822 completers of its four-to-five-year apprenticeship programs, and in addition, construction industry apprentice ship programs registered with state governments produced an estimated 15,000 to 20,000 completers in FY2021.

Mr. Mendenall was born Oct. 30, 1943, at his parents’ home in Bridgman, Mich. He was a 1961 graduate of Bridgman High School and graduated Lake Michigan College in 1963 with an associate degree in Mechanical Engineering.

The governor noted that, for the first time, Illinois DOT is using a new datadriven decisions tool to analyze road projects that add capacity to ensure greater “equity and transparency” in the transportation planning and programming process.

“This blueprint for investing in Illinois transportation is perhaps the most consequential in [our] history due to the increased federal commitment and Gov. Pritzker’s ongoing leadership,” noted Illinois DOT Secretary Omer“WeOsman.lookforward to working with our partners and stakeholders, delivering these important projects in communities up and down our state,” he said.Meanwhile Gov. Laura Kelly of Kansas just added 11 highway projects — a total investment of more than $520 million — to her state’s Eisenhower Legacy Transportation or IKE“Expandingplan. and modernizing our highways will improve roadway safety, create good jobs and deliver more economic opportunities across Kansas, both now and in the future,” she said in a statement.“These11 projects demonstrate that investing in transportation benefits our communities, taxpayers, and businesses,” the governor added.

Employers should determine if the opera tor has been sufficiently trained by a prior employer or other means, such as a labor union, and is familiar with the crane(s) and its operations. OSHArecognizes that not all operators-in-training will be inexperienced operators or unfamiliar with the crane(s) and doesn’t require additional training by each employer if the requirement has already beenLastly,met.OSHA points out that employers have a continuing duty to monitor the per formance of their operators to determine whether retraining is necessary. Compliance officers are encouraged to conduct inter views to determine what steps the employer has taken to identify concerns about the operator’s ability to safely operate the crane and perform assigned tasks and what steps the employer has taken when such concerns have been identified.

ïWasthecertification/licenseissuedbyan accredited testing organization, an audited employer program or compliant state or local government licensing program?

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has released a new compliance directive, CPL 02-01-063 for cranes and derricks. This directive replaces the 2014 compliance directive CPL 02-01057 and addresses the changes in the crane rule that OSHAmade in 2018.

CCO has the broadest array of nationally accreditedoperatorcertificationsavailablein the industry including telescopic boom fixed cab, telescopic boom swing cab, lattice boom, articulating boom, tower, overhead cranes as well as digger derrick, dedicated pile driver and drill rig.

Most-similar certifications should not be utilizedwhenthecertificationforthattypeof equipment is available by a nationally accredited certification body, such as CCO.

NCCCO Foundation Industry Forum held in November 2021, OSHApro vided the top 10 citations for cranes in con struction for 2020-2021. Of these, three are related to the certification/qualification process for personnel: standard 1926.1427(a) — certification of operators; standard 1926.1425(c)(3) — Materials rigged by a qualified rigger; standard 1926.1428(a) — Signal person qualifica tionsThe 2018 crane rule from OSHA provid ed a framework for establishing operator competency for the construction industry. The operator must be: Trained + Certified/Licensed + Evaluated = Qualified. In the compliance directive OSHA states that there is no particular order in which an employer must comply with the training, certification and evaluation elements and further reiterates that should an operator not meet all three criteria, they are considered to be an “operator-in-training.”

ïIsthetypeofcraneoperatedthesameas, or similar to, that specified by the certifica tion/license? Verification of the status of a certification body, such as CCO, has been made much easierbytheNCCCOFoundationwhichhas published a “Who’s Accredited?” directory that is kept up to date. With regard to the operator’s certification details which must be available to OSHA uponrequest(hardcopyorelectronic),CCO recommends that entities utilize the Verify CCOOnline(VCO)systemtoaccessCCO’s database for the most current information on certificants. The cards that are currently being produced by CCO include a QR code to directly link the user to this information. For equipment that falls under the scope of the standard but doesn’t have a nationally accreditedcertificationavailable,craneoper ators should be certified with the most simi larThecertification.NCCCO Foundation has a Crane Type Advisory Group, that makes determi nations on these types of equipment. Examples would be rotating and non-rotat ing telescopic forklifts when configured in a manner to fall under the scope of the rule.

Operator Evaluation

Page 28 • September 3, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT GUIDE Occupational Safety and Health Administration...

Operator-In-Training

Operator-in-training allows the operator to continue operating cranes when they are not yet certified/licensed or evaluated as required, but in such cases the operation must be under supervision of a trainer.

Employers are required by 1926.1427(c)(3) to pay for the certification of the operators they employ after the effec tive date of Feb. 7, 2019.While payment for recertification of an employed operator is covered under this provision, payment for testpreparationforcertificationtestingisnot covered. Employers may devise various arrangements to pay for certification of an operator that will be evaluated on a case-bycase basis.

ï When an employer would need to con duct additional evaluations for an operator While compliance directives provide OSHA enforcement personnel with guid ance on conducting inspections and policy oncitingviolationsofthestandard,theguid ance and explanation can be helpful for employers.Atthe

ï Is the certification/license within the expiration period established by the issuing entity and has not exceeded five years since it was issued?

The main focus of the evaluation require ments is to ensure that the operator has the knowledge, skills and abilities to operate: ï The assigned equipment ï For specified assigned tasks Previously evaluated operators must therefore be re-evaluated when new knowl edge, skills, or abilities are required for new tasks or operating different equipment, con figurations, etc. Asanewrequirement,the2018cranerule requires that employer must document the completion of the evaluation in accordance with 1926.1427(f)(6) and make the docu ment available at the work site for as long as the employer employs the operator. The employer is required to document the fol lowing information: ï Operator’s name ï Evaluator’s name and signature ï Date the evaluation was completed; and ï Make, model and configuration of the crane(s) that the operator can safely operate for construction tasks

The same make and model of cranes can be configured in many ways and include varying operating systems. Some makes and models of cranes may be so similar, even between manufacturers and models, that typically operators can safely operate them without the need for additional training. In such cases, employers would not need to documentseparateevaluationsoneachpiece of equipment. Employers need only docu ment baseline evaluations and then evalua tions for different equipment that requires increased levels of operator training and/or familiarization.Additionally, employers only need to dis tinguish and list operational aids and safety devices on an operator’s evaluation docu mentation to the extent that they require operators to acquire differing skills, crane knowledge or familiarity with the equip ment. see OSHA page 80

OSHA also states that compliance with 1926.1427(c)(4) is intended to prevent a licensing/testing organization’s training arm from “teaching to the test,” which would undermine the test’s ability to determine the individual’s true subject matter expertise for safe operation of equipment. Compliance officers are encouraged to consult with the national office should there be such allega tions.Incases where the operator is certified in a language other than English, compliance officers will be required to verify that the language specified on the operator’s certifi cation documentation is the same as that in the crane manual, load charts, etc. in the equipment operated at the job site.

Compliance officers also will interview the operator to determine who paid for the operator’s certification or license (including recertification). If the operator paid, compli ance officers will ask when the operator was certified, whether the operator was employed by the employer at that time and whether the operator was reimbursed.

Long before the 2010 crane rule became effective, 29 CFR 1926.20(b)(4) required employers to permit only those employees qualifiedbytrainingorexperiencetooperate equipment and machinery. The 2018 opera tor qualifications rule provided criteria and accepted means for evaluating an operator’s experience in operating cranes.

OSHA expects there to be a continuous cycle of training, certification and evalua tion. As operators switch types of cranes, they may assume an operating-in-training status pending the applicable new certifica tion.As changes in equipment and operating activities require different or higher levels of crane operating knowledge, skills and abili ties, employers will need to ensure that the operator has been trained and evaluated in theseWhileareas.the standard does not require employers to create and maintain training records, compliance officers are directed to ask for training records, program materials and interview the employer and employees to determine what training was provided.

Understanding OSHA’s New Compliance Directive

The new compliance directive only revis es the existing section on operator training, certification and evaluation and leaves the other sections of the 2014 directive unchanged.Thefocus areas of the compliance direc tive are: ï When to initiate an inspection into an operator’s training, certification and evalua tionïHow to approach an inspection involv ing multi-purpose equipment and multiemployer work sites ï How to determine whether the operator has received training that meets the require ments of the standard ï What steps to take when inspecting the certification/license of an operator ï How to address certification concerns such as fraudulent certifications or testing organizations not meeting requirements

Once a determination is made that the equipment operated is within the scope of the rule (see 1926.1400) and that none of the exceptions of 1926.1427(a) apply, there are essentially four key questions on the flowchart provided by OSHAin the directive: ï Is the operator certified/licensed?

When maximum compactness is required, the boom can be tucked in against theThemachine.model also can support larger equip ment due to its lifting capacity. When the machine is on the rails, for example, it can reach 7 ft. from the center of the machine and lift up to 6,000 lbs. with the arm at 90 degrees.Rather than using two large machines, the 106MRail can help a larger machine lift small rail panels, carry sleepers, or move equipment or materials to where they are needed, according to the manufacturer.

The 106MRail is the smallest rail excava tor in the four-model MRail series. The range includes another tracked model, the 13-ton 136MRail, and two-wheeled models, the 156MRail and 216MRail, which are based on the MWR wheeled excavator. The series is designed to meet all railway needs, from maintenance of the railway to new trackForconstruction.more information, visit www.mecalac.com.

To save on fuel, the 106MRail has an engine with automatic low idle. After a preset amount of time, the engine will switch to low idle when not in use. To resume engine rpm, the operator simply moves any machine control. This feature significantly reduces fuel consumption and wear on the engine.“The goal of this machine is to give rail ways the quality performance and versatility theyaresearchingforinasmallermachine,” said Bigwood. “The 106MRail eliminates theneedtorunalargemachineatahighcost for light applications, allowing railways to optimize their fleets.”

“I was hearing: ‘When are we gonna get ours, when is it our turn?’” Wardner said.

Rock Machinery Co. LLC, Gorman-Rupp Announce Partnership to Supply Pumps

“Operation Prairie Dog,” named for the industrious bur rowing mammal, was passed by the 2019 Legislature to pro vide $250 million in every two-year budget cycle for coun ties, cities and airports in non-oil producing areas for such things as roads, bridges and airport projects.

RockMachineryCo.LLC,adistrib utor of processing equipment and parts for the aggregate, mining and recy cling industries, announced its partner ship with Gorman-Rupp on supplying submersible, self-priming and diesel-driven dewatering pumps.Gorman-Rupphasbeenman ufacturing pumps and pumping systems since 1933. Its 825,000 sq.ft.manufacturingfacilityand corporate headquarters in Mansfield, Ohio, accommodate the most advanced technology available. Fully automated machiningcentersprovidehighspeed, high-quality machining of pump castings.

That meant only $29.9 million was distributed for the 2019-2021 budget period, based on the legislation’s funding formula that puts municipalities with higher populations at the head of the line.

The longtime lawmaker, who is retiring this year, said he was confident Prairie Dog would get the entire $250 million this“It’syear.going to fill,” he said.

The allocations will range from a few thousand dollars for small communities to several million dollars for the larger, higher-population cities, he said. 

The bill, which won wide legislative support, assumed oil productionandpriceswouldholdthoughthetwo-yearbudg et cycle.But“due to the pandemic-related collapse in global oil price and the resulting drop in North Dakota oil production,” oil tax revenue was only $3.6 billion, or 25 percent lower than had been projected for the last budget period, said Joe Morrissette, the state’s top budget writer.

Case Construction Equipment Launches Industry-First

Case Construction Equipment is launch ing an all-new, industry-first equipment cat egory with the introduction of the Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader.

Thiscoupler.design provides the stability and smooth operating plane of a small dozer while ensuring that all operating power is channeled through the whole body of the machine. This establishes greater perform ance and long-term reliability than the sim ple combination of a dozer blade attachment to a traditional compact track loader, the manufacturer said. It also comes standard with Case Universal Machine Control, which makes the machine ready for any of the major three providers of machine control technology, which are sold separately. It’s also available with an optional, industry-exclusive fully integrated ripper for tearing up tough terrain to simplify dozing and earthmoving opera tions.The C-frame is then detached to allow the operator to use it as a loader with a heavyduty1.25-cu.yd.bucket,orwithhundredsof common loader attachments many equip ment owners already have in their fleet.

The90-or96-in.six-waybladeconnected to the integrated C-frame is the same blade featured on the Case 650M dozer and gives the operator a full range of dozer controls and movements. The machine’s electrohydraulic controls also deliver responsive ness like full-sized Case dozers, with the ability to adjust blade, steering and shuttle sensitivity to smooth, moderate or aggres sive to meet the operator’s preference. Blade responsiveness can be further dialedintooperatorpreferencebyindepend ently setting the speed of the blade tilt, lift andTheangle.industry-exclusive, fully integrated rear ripper is easily controlled from within the cab — it comes standard with three shanks and can be expanded to five shanks for more aggressive ripping. The rear ripper feature must be selected when ordering as it cannot be added after the time of purchase.

The hallmark advancement of the Case Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler.

True PerformanceDozer in Compact Footprint Built on a dozer-style undercarriage and pushing with more than 25,000 lbs. of draw bar pull, the Case Minotaur DL550 delivers true dozing power and performance.

Fully CollaborativeConnected,FleetManagement

Case has taken fleet management of com pact equipment to an entirely new level with the inclusion of the Case SiteConnect Module — a powerful device that improves the volume, flow and integration of data to the Case SiteWatch telematics platform for real-time monitoring and management of maintenanceandserviceintervals,aswellas theanalysisofequipmentutilizationandper formance.It’salso the foundation from which Case has made the collaborative fleet manage ment and remote diagnostics of compact equipment a reality. This enhanced connec tivity allows the machine owner to share — with permission — real-time machine infor mation with their Case dealer and the Case Uptime Center in Racine, Wis.

Case achieves these remote service capa bilities through the Case SiteManager App (iOS andAndroid). This app pairs the oper ator’s phone or device to the machine to enable remote analysis by a certified Case technician, which allows them to diagnose the health of each connected machine through various parameter readings and fault codes. The technician decides as to whethertheissuecanbeaddressedremotely — such as clearing codes or updating soft ware — or if it requires a trip to the machine.“Reducing trips to the field, showing up with the needed parts on the first visit, and the ability to avoid field visits all together by remotelyclearingbasiccodesalldrivemajor savings in time and resources, both for the equipment owner and the dealer service department,” said Jacobsmeyer. “This type of collaborative fleet management has the ability to drive major gains for fleets of all sizes and ensure optimal uptime.”

Andinthecaseofaserviceneed,theCase Minotaur DL550 is built for ease of service with groundline access to grouped service points and checks like every machine in the Case lineup. Service intervals and machine operating information are easily accessed in the machine’s eight-inch LCD display in the cab.

“WithbothCaseandthelocalCasedealer monitoring machine performance, we’re able to be proactive and anticipate potential equipment needs to maximize uptime,” said Jacobsmeyer. “The goal of these advances is rooted in customer need for maximum uptime,andtheCaseMinotaurDL550com pact dozer loader delivers that — including the ability to remotely diagnose machine eventsanddrasticallyshortenresponsetimes when service is needed.”

Themachinealsoallowsoperatorstohar ness all that power with “Hydraulics on Demand”, where the operator can easily select the percentage of auxiliary hydraulic flow to the attachment via the machine’s multi-functiondisplay.Thisallowstheoper ator to dial in attachment performance to their preference or the recommendation of the attachment manufacturer — ensuring both effective and proper operation of the attachment.“Thefront coupler featured on this machine is the same as you will find on most compact loaders — this opens the machine up to be used with hundreds of attachments,” said Jacobsmeyer. “We’ve given operators the ability to turn this com pact dozer loader into one of the industry’s most versatile and powerful compact machines, and deliver on the awesome capabilities that other manufacturers tried to emulate after the original concepts were announced.”

Common Materials Make Up Beam’s Concrete

What followed were months of collaboration. Inherent in their discussion was that fabrication methods were inextricable from the design. As Ismail explained, “We’re trying to develop methods that are fabrication-aware. When we’re actually designing and optimizing the structure, we know how it’s going to be built, and the rules of how it’s going to be built go back into the design process so it’s more circular and not as linear. So, we had months of conversations with Emily and Edmund about the actual mathematical principles behind their ZipForm system. What were the limits? What were the constraints?And then we found a way to put that into our structuralFinally,model.”Ismail was ready to see his unorthodox beam design become a reality. Harriss’ computations and Baker’s jig-system were essential to shaping the formwork, which was created at the Fay Jones School’s Build Lab in Fayetteville, where Baker oversees the digital steel lab.

“This is a vast improvement on other methods that might be used to make curving formwork,” she said in describing the process.

Cameron Murray, an assistant professor of civil engineering at UA who advises Poblete, assisted with the pouring of concrete into the formwork the week prior to the test.

It was designed to carry 8,500 lbs., and beyond that, the goal was to fail safely, in what Ismail describes as a “slow, ductile manner.You don’t want it to collapse suddenly and in a scary way.” His beam performed the way he hoped, as it exhibited small cracks and minor bowing, or what Poblete described as “flexural cracking and deflection.” The test proceeded through a series of steady weight increases followed by temporary plateaus, the spidering cracks documented by graduate students wielding black markers crawling under and around the beam.

“Our group is interested in what is applicable today, like what can we go out and build right now. And that’s why we’re looking at regular strength concrete, regular strength steel, and fabrication methods that are relatively cheap and affordable, which is why this Arkansas project was so exciting. Emily and Edmund had been working on a method that can be replicated anywhere in the world quite easily.”

When the test was concluded, Ismail was relieved that his beam had done what it was designed to do, and with a lot less concrete than usual.

“We can apply these principles to materials that already have a flatness to them and manufacture pieces that are more efficient in strength and yet use fewer resources,” he explained.Theopportunity to prove it came when Baker ran into Ismail at a conference, found they had common research interests, and invited him to speak to her class. While Ismail was talking to her class about beam optimization, a lightbulb went off over her head: Maybe the Zip-Form system could be used to help Ismail create a beam of complex curvature?

Ismal also believes the stress test’s results revealed the tip of the “There’siceberg.somuch more we can do,” he explained. “There are more complex structures we can design, and then there’s more testing that we can do that gets into much more rigorous things like dynamic loading, testing for vibrations, and all sorts of things that theArkansas structures’lab is definitely capable of. So, this was, in a lot of ways, proof that this idea can work, and now we need to actually develop it further.”

Her method allowed them to make steel formwork with complex curvature like Ismail wanted almost as easily as she could make formwork for a flat beam.

While he said there was nothing unusual about the concrete used, he noted “all of the materials were made in Arkansas. The coarse aggregate was quarried in Hindsville, the sand was from the Arkansas River in Van Buren, the cement was made in Foreman, [and] the water was from Beaver Lake. Concrete is inherently a local material.”

A form designed through the Zip-Form system allowed a concrete beam to be poured using less concrete but maintaining strength.

Graduate students examine the concrete beam for hairline fractures after stress was applied.

Finally, the load was increased to 12,000 lbs., a weight far above its design strength, at which point an obvious failure occurred when a large chunk finally broke off, according to an article on the university website.

Collaboration On Zip-Form System

The conventionality of the materials underscored Ismail’s larger goal: he is interested in more efficient and sustainable design, but not necessarily revolutionary new materials. While he is excited about the potential for things like 3-D printed housing, that is decades away, and people need homes now, he said.

In the case of Bobcat’s T7X, going all-electric allows the machine to peak significantly higher than the diesel engine.

Despite concerns over runtimes, electric construction equipment offers power, low noise, zero emissions and the possibility of winning certain jobs.

“Compact equipment has the ability to make that shift sooner than larger equipment, which certainly applies to the landscape industry,” Arnold said. “However, infrastructure and mindsets still need to shift as well. We believe heavy equipmentwillbeamixofelectric,hybrid,conventionaland other options for several more years.”

Electric Machines Could Mean Lower Maintenance Cost

Benefits of Electric Construction Equipment

“Jobs that previously relied almost entirely on manual labor due to noise ordinances can now look to battery-pow ered equipment to bring efficiencies to the job site,” Thaker said.WiththeT7X,Odegaardsaidsnowremovalcompaniesin particular are excited about how quiet it is, at 92.7 dB for bystanders, as it enables them to conduct residential snow work at times they normally couldn’t. Similarly, it can allow for earlier start times on residential landscaping projects.

“Forthemostpart,thosetwomachineswillfeelverysim ilar,” Odegaard said. “They’ll operate the same. People can hop from one to the other and get the same amount of work done, but when you’re really working it hard, those brief peak periods where you’re trying to demand everything out ofthatmachine,allthosefunctions,wecanconsumeordraw more of that power from the battery.”

Volvo conservatively estimates electric equipment has 35 percent lower maintenance costs and up to 45 percent reduction in operating hours due to the machine turning off instead of idling, reducing wear and tear.

“The typical contractor way overestimates how much time they’re actually putting on a machine,” Odegaard said. “Withadieselengine,ifit’srunning,you’reconsumingfuel. With theT7X, if you’re in the cab and you let go of the con trols, that’s almost like turning the machine off.” Similarly,thee-Dingohasanauto-idlefeaturethatpowers off the machine after it has been idling for a certain amount of“Thetime.machine also shifts to low idle after five seconds of non-use and shuts off when not in use for more than 30 sec onds,” Thaker said. “The operator can then instantly restart the machine by double-tapping the traction control lever.An off-board 1,200-watt charger recharges the compact utility loader in less than eight hours.”

The electric construction equipment also is significantly quieter, making it ideal for working near homes, schools and businesses. For instance, the sound level at the operator’s position is reduced by more than 22 percent when going fromTakeuchi’sTB216diesel-poweredexcavatortothebat tery-powered TB20e.

The HC series is recognizable from the new, athletic design and the view channel in the engine hood. A new frame concept also guarantees increased tank volume; in particular, in future, the heavy compactors will be delivered to the construction site with an 88.8 gal. fuel tank.

On the cab, a large additional mirror with proximity detection improves the view of the immediate environment, and design tricks guarantee low-vibration mirrors. Furthermore, the mirrors can be easily adjusted from the cab.

The manufacturer is bringing together the two previous compactor series from Hamm — the 3000 series (Tier 3) and the H series (EPATier 4/EU Stage V) — with the HC series on one platform together with models with an operating weight of 24,251 to 55,115.6 lbs. The diesel engines comply with the regional requirements, and their power varies between 85 and 160 kW, depending on the weight. On all models, the drum width is 84.3 in. In addition to the previously known sales variants, in future there will be CR machines with reinforced components for applications on difficult terrain and special equipment for applications on rocky ground.

AIS EQUIPMENTCONSTRUCTION

In comparison to the predecessor models, Hamm has increased the compaction power. The manufacturer has increased the centrifugal force by up to 15 percent; and the static linear load is as high as 451.6 lbs/in.

HC Series: Hamm’s New Generation of Compact Rollers for Earthworks

In the dark, the standard LED lights light up the environment in all working situations. At day and night, due to the view channel in the hood, the roller meets the requirements for the field of vision in accordance with DIN EN 474.

New Design

The HC series is well prepared for the quality and communication requirements of the future. The “Smart Doc” app, which was developed by Hamm, graphically displays all of the key compaction parameters as well as the compaction progress, and logs the measured rigidity as well as the position data. In the Smart Doc app, even inexperienced drivers can immediately see which areas have been sufficiently compacted and which areas still require compaction. Furthermore, the compactors can communicate, even with digital applications from third parties, via a standardized interface.Formore information, visit www.wirtgen-group.com. 

There are even innovations when it comes to the steering: Anew cast articulated joint with articulated joint lock allows for a greater steering and swing angle with improved kinematics. Due to the optimized weight distribution in combination with the traction control, the gradeability also has been further improved. Furthermore, the front vehicle and the scraper have been redesigned. This has resulted in significantly increased clearance on the drum, meaning that no material can accumulate there, which eliminates cleaning work.

Comfortable Workstation Hamm also has again increased the operator comfort: The cab offers the operator over 20 percent more tread, around 30 percent increased space and numerous storage compartments. Furthermore, the vibrations and the noise level in the cab are significantly reduced due to the materials and design.

Hamm is attending bauma 2022, where it will present the HC series — a new generation of earthwork rollers for all markets.Thecompactors achieve a high level of compaction power while simultaneously achieving a reduction in CO2 emissions. The communication capabilities are new: All models in the HC series are “digital-ready” since they can be equipped with various interfaces for the digital construction site. One Platform for All Markets

Due to new approaches in machine management, the HC series achieves increased overall performance. The integrated ECO mode supports the operator so that they can work in the economical partial-load range as often as possible, which reduces the need for cooling. The speed is reduced for this — but, due to a large travel pump, without compromising the power.This concept saves fuel and reduces the noise and exhaust gas emissions. With the optional engine stop system, the energy consumption can be reduced even further.

Equipped for ConstructionDigitalSite

Great Visibility During Day, Night

Large slope angles and powerful drives guarantee that the compactors in the HC series achieve excellent compaction on uneven and steep terrain — even on inclines over 60 percent.

Highest Quality Highway Pavements

The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced the winners and finalists of its 2021 Operational Excellence Awards.

Page 68 • September 3, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Paving Section • Construction Equipment Guide

The year after a project wins a QIC Award, it is eligible for consideration for the Sheldon G. Hayes Award. The top-ranked projects from each year are tested for smoothness, and then visually inspected by an independent pavement consultant with many years of experience in the industry.

The Sheldon G. Hayes Award winner and finalists are determined through a two-year evaluation process. All highway pavement projects using more than 50,000 tons of asphalt are eligible for consideration. Initially, the project must win a Quality in Construction (QIC) Award, which is determined by numerical scores given by an independent pavement engineer on the basis of how well the contractor met specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement. All pavements that meet a benchmark figure earn the QICAward.

“NAPA members strive for excellence beyond constructing high-quality asphalt pavements. The two categories of the Operational Excellence Awards — Asphalt Operations Safety Innovation and Community Involvement — recognize a company’s commitment to operations that make them good contractors, good industry ambassadors and good neighbors,” said NAPA 2021 Chairman James Winford.

Asphalt Operations Safety Innovation AwardWinners:



Eurovia Atlantic Coast, dba Northeast Paving Co. LLC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation — District 12 were named the winner of the 2021 Sheldon G. HayesAward for their work on I-70 in Washington, Pa.

How Fast Is Too Fast Speed, which is continuously monitored, can be categorized by vehicle type. For example, a pickup truck driving up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit may be deemed OK (shown in green), while 11 to 15 mph over is unsatisfactory (shown in yellow), with anything over 15 mph over the speed limit flagged as excessive (shown in red).Atri-axle dump trailer, on the other hand, may be deemed safe while travelling up to 5 mph over the speed limit, with anything over that flagged as excessive (shown in red). Speed ranges and grades are assigned by user administrators and can be varied by vehicle type.

 Capturing Vehicle Data...

Earthwave Technologies’ FleetWatcher telematics platform monitors four key “safe driver” metrics, allowing companies to track and amend driver behavior. This GPS-based platform captures vehicle data from either the FleetWatcher App or from an in-vehicle device. It simplifies safe driver programs by focusing on four key metrics — vehicle speed relative to posted speed limits, fast starts, hard braking, and hard turns. This data is reported continuously and can be used to assign a numeric or letter grade to drivers, who can then be commended or counseled for their performance.

The concrete is poured evenly over the pre-placed steel rebar in front of the slipform paver and distributed across the entire working width. The SP 94(i) slipform paver then compacts and paves the concrete mix. The paver at the show, which has a maximum working width of 32 ft., is fitted with a TeleMold system. It enables fast and convenient alteration of the working width by up to 3 ft. on each side, resulting in an overall increase of 6 ft. This increases the flexibility and productive utilization time of the machine by the reduction of down times.

The largest slipform paver on show at this year’s Bauma is the SP 124(i). The 4-track paver can be configured for paving at a working width of 39 ft. and fits seamlessly into the fleet-wide operating concept of slipform pavers from WIRTGEN. The machine is fitted with the latest generation of the integrated dowel bar inserter. The dowel bars are extracted from the magazine by a chain feed system with an endless chain and automatically transported to the insertion“Smart”location.cylinders with displacement sensors precisely position the dowel bar inserter at the desired locations. The high degree of automation reduces the proportion of manual work required, increases process reliability, and, ultimately, the cost-effectiveness of the process.

AutoPilot 2.0: Stringless Control for Concrete Paving Developed in-house by Wirtgen, AutoPilot 2.0 is a control system for stringless paving that serves as an alternative to the conventional method of mechanically scanning a stringline. The system, which precisely controls both the height adjustment and steering of the machine, is available for all offset pavers and placer/spreaders. A GNSS signal and, depending on the configuration, various local sensors (e.g. an ultrasonic sensor on the machine), serve as a reference. The time and effort otherwise required for setting up and removing the stringline is eliminated. It also enables fast and precise paving of tight radii and complex geometries.Thesystem is conveniently operable from a tablet PC, which also supports the generation and editing of terrain models. Wirtgen AutoPilot 2.0 offers machine control and stringless control for concrete paving in one.

The final link in the process chain is the TCM 180(i). This field-proven texture curing machine applies the desired finish to the surface of the freshly paved concrete. It enables the realization of lengthwise and crosswise textures and pre-defined surface roughness in accordance with project specifications. It also allows the application of a range of different curing agents to the concrete surface, for example a concrete surface retarder.

Avoiding OSHA Citations

OSHA also will be releasing the revised Small Entity Compliance Guide and Frequently Asked Questions related to this final part of the rule. In the last cycle these documents were released within a few months of the Compliance Directive.

If the employer has not conducted the required evaluation(s) of the operator that serves as the basis for the operation of particular equipment for the particular task, then the operator is considered as an operator-in-training with respect to that equipment or task (see requirements for operators-intraining).

The evaluation must be conducted by an individual who has the knowledge, training and experience necessary to assess equipment operators. This knowledge, training and experience is not necessarily the same as the knowledge, training and experience to perform the particular construction operations or processes themself. Additionally, the evaluator must be an employee or agent of the employer. Within the flowchart for crane operator evaluation, the key elements are:

Odegaard understands that many are going to be skeptical until they test the equipment for themselves.

The best way to avoid citations by OSHAis to know and understand how the rule affects you, ensure that your operators and those around equipment are properly qualified, and that documentation is in order before OSHA asks. CCO will continue to monitor information released and assist in creating resources to assist the industry in compliance.Formoreinformation, email regulatory@nccco.org.

“While electric equipment has many benefits, particularly for working in congested urban areas, it really depends on the contractors and their customer bases,” Caldwell said. “If a contractor works primarily on certain types of projects, and if they are marketing themselves as a business focused on green initiatives and environmental stewardship, electric equipment can be an ideal solution.”

Battery Power Offers Lower Noise, Better Run Time, Reduces Emissions

“The power that you can get from electric today is nothing like it was even 10 years ago,” Odegaard said. “It’s unbeatable. That’s one of the things with T7X I think that surprises a lot of people is that they think electric and they think weak.”  (This article is published with permission of the National Association of Landscape Professionals’ The Edge magazine.

“In other words, can the electric machine get the job done well and on time?” Caldwell said. “Will there be people nearby who could benefit from the use of a quieter machine with lower emissions? If the answer to those questions is ‘yes,’then an electric machine could be a difference-maker.”

For multi-employer work sites, OSHAstates that “controlling contractors must exercise reasonable care to prevent and detect violations of the crane standard at the construction site.” OSHA goes on to say, “Controlling contractors assume a heightened duty to monitor an operator who is allowed on the site without providing evidence that the operator has been certified/licensed and evaluated in accordance with the crane standard… If the controlling contractor informs the other employers on the site that the crane operator has not provided evidence of certification/licensing, each employer could then take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of its own employees to fulfill its duties as an exposing employer.”

“As sustainability regulations become more prevalent, these machines are a way to meet or exceed them,” Arnold said. “Environmental awareness is growing quickly, and people have their own personal goals for getting work done in more climate-friendly ways.”

Thaker advised landscapers to determine what size equipment they commonly require and then turn to a trusted dealer who can help match them to the right piece of equipment for theirArnoldneeds.stressed not to just look at the purchase price.

“Landscape professionals considering adding electric construction equipment to their fleet now may find themselves with an advantage over their peers as customers begin demanding more environmentally friendly and quieter operations,” Thaker said.

OSHA’s New Directive Only Revises Its Existing Operator-in-Training Section

Thaker added that as more states and municipalities implement emission regulations, a contractor with electric equipment incorporated into their fleet may find themselves with an advantage over the competition.

“It’s a win-win,” the Corps manager said. The finishing touch to a levee is building any needed access roads and seeding newly disturbedsoil.Lanecrewswilldrillorbroad cast grass seed. A third option in cases of steep slopes is to “hydroseed” an earthen surface—thatis,sprayonarelativelysticky solutioncontainingseedandfertilizer.While the last option is effective, it is slightly more expensive than the more traditional applica tions.Any levee section completed in winter months will be seeded in the spring.

Other kinds of construction activity involved in the project include replacing 12 closure structures and repairing or modify ing dozens of drainage structures serving the levee. Then there is the upgrading or replac ing of 13 pump stations. The Michels Corporation won the bid to replace two of the stations and repair a third in the Argentine District. Two contracts were awarded to Supplied Industrial Solutions for the pump station work in the Armourdale and Central Industrial District portion of the levees.The pump stations are relatively small buildings, but they cap a machinery room and a wetwell that can run 50 ft. deep. A chief risk with pump stations is the potential for the stations to “float” during flooding periods.Thatis,pressuresoffloodwatercan lift the stations, with resulting damage to the pumping system and structure. Techniques to anchor the facilities include pouring a thicker concrete slab on floor and walls to increase the weight or drilling a “relief well” to lessen the lifting pressure. Reliefwellsareyetanothermajorcompo nent of the overall construction project, with theCorpsrequiring130ofthem.Mostaren’t there to relieve pressures on a pump station. Rather, they relieve underseepage pressures below a levee embankment itself. Lane has Lane Construction has nearly completed a stretch of levee improvements along the Central Industrial District Levee Unit. The improvements consisted of a 5-ft. raise; stability and underseepage berms; and utility abandonments.

Where will all that dirt be excavated from? By chance, a potable water company, Water One, has property 3 mi. from the river where two borrow pits will be dug. The company needs pits to store lime utilized in itsproductlinesandtheCorpsneedsthedirt.

Lane’s construction manager, Steve Ulmer,saidbuildingawallversusrebuilding a levee takes more time. “In most cases, it is three or four times faster for a levee-raise with dirt compared to wall construction. But the structural design typology of a levee is not driven just by this condition. Budget, space, future use and the environment are among other key consider ations in a design.”

A floodwall might be erected next to a levee or, if there isn’t even enough room for the vertical structure, built atop the levee.

Lane calls on its Link-Belt or Tadano cranes to support wall construction crews. The combination of walls and levees will require moving of about 1.5 million cu. yds. of dirt and pouring about 50,000 cu. yds. of con crete, according to Mensing.

The Corps is overseeing 17 mi. of tricky levee reconstruction and floodwall improve ments along the Kansas River within the Kansas City, Kansas-Missouri metropolitan area where an estimated 30,000 people live and/or work. Civil engineer Scott Mensing has managed the levees program for the Corps for almost four years. Lane Constructionisthegeneralcontractorforthe project.“Each river work site brings its own chal lenges,” Mensing said of the levee project. “Here we have a lot of interaction with rail roads;morethan150yearsofhistoricdevel opment; numerous above-ground restric tionsonwhatwecando;some125privately owned parcels of land; and more than 400 utilities, 200 of which we have to relocate or modify.”Thisis the final stage of a 15-year Corps project that began with $25 million in levee and floodwall work on the nearby Missouri River.Theseven-yearKansasRiverphaseof the work is far more costly — $529 million — and complex because of all the adjacent urbandevelopmentandthemagnitudeofthe work.Amile of levee does not always corre spond to a mile of the river. Sometimes a levee wall rises directly from the bank of a river,withriprapclimbingthebankandright onuptheleveeincline.Othertimesthelevee system wanders away from the river, set back from the water for better engineered containment.Callingthe project “levee work” is mis leading. Several tasks are involved, all of themrelatedtocontainingtheriverwaterbut involving far different construction tech niques. Raising the Kansas River levee an average of 5 ft. — ranging from a foot rise downstream to as much as 7 ft. in other places — is pretty straight forward and accountsfor$258millionoftheoverallpricetag.

The existing earthen embankments are stripped of topsoil and vegetation to get to a core clay section. Fences or parking lots encroaching on the levee footprint are removed. Any utilities that pass through the levee or across the top of it must be addressed. Then crews of contractor Lane Construction — using a mix of Caterpillar, Volvo and John Deere heavy equipment — begin serious dirt-moving to reshape the levee.The urban development that borders much of the levee in some instances doesn’t allow raising of the levee height. “A levee can have a large footprint,” Mensing said. “If it is 20 feet tall, it could be 150 feet wide at the bottom.

Keeping Quiet, Saving Fuel Costs

Match Tooth Configurationto Soil Conditions

Many contractors think that if the trencher’s engine starts, then the digging sys tem is ready to work. But depending on the jobsite conditions where the equipment is being used, the CTS components need to be frequently monitored to maintain jobsite efficiency.Toensure that trenchers are in peak con dition, it’s important to know the limitations of the machine and correctly match the CTS system to the conditions that they are dig ging in. Not properly outfitting the CTS sys tem with the correct chain and teeth for the ground conditions can lead to increased wear and tear on the digging system and trencher unit — ultimately causing costly downtime.

Construction Equipment Guide • Utility Equipment Section • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • September 3, 2022 • Page 89

Chain tension plays an important role in how the machine operates. Improperly ten sioned chains will lead to premature wear and will not perform as well. To prevent abnormal wear and tear on trencher chains, operators should ensure that the chain has the appropriate tension by reg ularly checking its fit. This will ultimately improve productivity and prevent any lost revenue from efficiency lags or downtime. The proper tension for a trencher chain can be found in the operator’s manual for the equipment.Chainsare available in multiple sizes for a variety of different trenchers. When check ing the tension, contractors should ensure the chain is not sagging or too tight. If chains do begin to sag, they’ll vibrate the equipment and cause unnecessary wear; if chains are too tight, different wear patterns on the sprocket or sidebars will begin to appear. It’s important for contractors to keep in mind that larger trenchers require bigger chains that will require more sag than small er equipment. As such, industry experts agree that a good rule of thumb when check ing proper chain tension on a stan dard walk-behind trencher is that two to three fingers should fit between the chain and the lower part of the boom.

Another indicator of CTS component wear and tear can be seen on the trencher’s teeth.Manufacturers like Ditch Witch often apply carbide to reinforce the strength of the teeth and extend the life of a machine. However, when that carbide begins to wear down to the base steel, the tooth becomes worn and risks breaking off. Aworn-down tooth can negatively impact a machine’s efficiency. For example, when the front tooth begins to thin — and it is not addressed — the other teeth are then forced to take more of the shock load and the brunt of the labor. This can prematurely wear out the other teeth and risk the loss of teeth alto

Stay Vigilant On Visual Clues

By Scott McKinley SPECIAL TO CEG

One answer is an apple core. The main wear component on a digging system is the chain rollers. If the rollers start to look like an apple core — or if the pin is visible — then it’s time to replace it. Because the roller is the one component of the CTS system that is constantly used, operators should be sure to inspect it often.

If a job site is filled with rocky soil, an alli gator tooth can help contractors stay effi cient. It constantly rotates while in operation, meaning that the teeth chip away at different parts of the soil throughout the digging process. However, if contractors notice any teeth at a standstill, they should inspect the teeth immediately and replace as necessary.

Whether operating a ride-on trencher or walk-behind machine, it’s the performance parts — the chain, teeth and sprockets (CTS) — that help keep crews efficient and profitable. To maintain job site uptime, it’s important for industry professionals to be diligent with regular CTS maintenance and equipment best practices.

gether.Asa best practice, contractors should either replace teeth that have worn down right away or replace all the teeth together. This will help save time, money and mini mize additional tooth wear and tear.

CTSMaintenanceBestPracticesHelpBoostJobsiteSuccess

Understanding visual clues are imperative to keeping equipment efficient. But, what exactly should contractors look for when inspecting their CTS components?

While looking at the rollers, it’s also important to inspect the sprockets. Sprockets are engineered to interact with the trencher chain to enhance the overall performance and wear life of all digging components. When the teeth on a sprocket start “thin ning” it is time for a replacement. It is strongly recommended that customers replace the head-shaft sprocket when replac ing the digging chain. Not changing the sprocket will likely lead to premature wear on the new chain and will end up costing you more money.

UnderstandLimitationsEquipment’s

Check Proper Chain Tension

Regardless of soil conditions, it’s always best practice for contractors to consult their local Ditch Witch dealer to help ensure they are set up for success.

Success is all about using the right tool for the job. For trenchers, that means knowing the correct tooth configuration for the kind of soil and ground conditions on the job site. Not only will this help extend the life of the trencher, but it also will keep operators efficient and profitable. For example, a cup tooth is the standard utility tooth for most soil conditions. It is designed for soft and medium-type soils and has a scooped shape. Due to natural wear and tear, cup teeth will often lose their hard surface. Signs of excessive wear are noticeable at the wider points of the teeth, and wear will begin to show into the body of the tooth. In cases of extreme wear, the tooth will shear off, drastically reducingAnotherproductivitytooththatplays an impor tant role in the digging process is the shark tooth. Named for its resemblance to a shark’s tooth, it is designed to pick and break through harder soil. This is ideal for opera tors trenching through rocky or frozen ground. However, it’s important for contrac tors to frequently check for fractures or chips in the teeth and replace them immediately to minimize equipment damage and downtime.

Maintaining Jobsite Success

When it comes to extending the life of a trencher and boosting the bottom line, fol lowing best practices and adhering to recom mended maintenance routines play a critical role. However, contractors who look for visual clues of wear and tear understand that not all soil is created equal, know that differ ent size trenchers require different chain ten sion and understand that every piece of equipment has its limitations can keep their trenchers digging deep and ensure jobsite safety and success.

One of the most common causes of CTS wear and tear occurs when a system is forced to perform a task beyond what the machine is designed to do.

Look for Tooth Wear, Tear



It is not always easy, however, to know when maintenance on the CTS system is required or what visual clues are indicative of equipment repairs. This is especially true as one part of the CTS system can often wear at a different rate than the oth ers.Here are a few CTS maintenance tips that will keep contractors dig ging efficiently and machines hard at work.

E-Air in Action

In the southwest of Germany, a biomass power plant underwent a planned biannual maintenanceshutdown.IBService,industri al maintenance specialist, used zero carbon electric portable air compressors from Atlas Copco to sustainably drive the plant’s trans formation.Sincethe EU enshrined in law its target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050, a nationwide race against time has been initiated to accelerate climate protection efforts. Atlas Copco PortableAir is leading the way to decarbonization by offer ing sustainably driven electric compressors to the industrial sec tor. Atlas Copco’s electric portable air compressors have recently supported the mainte nance of a biomass cogeneration plant in Germany, where the compressors were used to clean the plant’s renewably powered kilns.Two E-Air variable speed drive (VSD) were used in a bio mass plant in Kehl, where cogen eration technology is used, fired by waste wood, to simultaneous ly generate electrical power and process steam. Bioenergy can offer significant reduction in net carbon emissions when operated effectively and plays multiple roles in decarbonizing elec tricity and other industries that are fossil fuel-dependent, according to the company.

The IB Services team were entrusted with the essential task of renewing the plant, scrupulously and spotlessly blast-cleaning the biomass-encrusted kilns. In order to complete this very tough and demanding sandblasting project in time for its tight deadline, the IBS team needed equipment that it knew could perform with the utmost reliability and efficiency, 24/7.

Steelhasbeenthego-tomaterial for prestressing concrete for high way bridges, but it has drawbacks. The material is prone to corrosion and deterioration from extreme temperatures, water and deicing chemicals.Preventingcorrosionandrepair ing damaged areas requires time and money and can limit the lifes pan of the structure, said MDOT. But carbon fiber, an innovative alternative to steel, has strands as strong as those of steel, but resist ant to corrosion. They also require less maintenance over time, so they offer longer service life. “Rusting of steel elements is the leading cause of deterioration in our bridges,” said Matt Chynoweth, chief bridge engineer of MDOT. “Since carbon fiber is non-corrosive, we are eliminating that potential for damage. Using a material that will not corrode is a realIngame-changer.”2001,LTU,MDOT and the city of Southfield, Mich., deployed the first three-span carbon fiber pre-stressed concrete bridge in the country.TheBridge Street bridge was outfitted with sensors so it can be monitored by MDOT until 2025. Since then, more than a dozen bridges have been built throughout thestateusingcarbonfibercompo nents.Chynoweth said MDOT is deployingthematerialsstrategical ly, using them on higher-volume routes. On a span of southbound I75, the carbon fiber-infused beams are some of the longest in the state, at 140 Twoft.bridges are currently being built with carbon fiber reinforced beams as part of MDOT’s massive I-94 modernization project in Detroit. They will use beams with newer0.7-in.diametercarbonfiber strands,allowinggreaterinitialten sioning than steel, said MDOT. The research coming out of the long partnership between the state transportation agency and LTU hopes to optimize the design process and encourage more wide spreaduse.Theteamhassubjected beams to 300 freeze-thaw cycles, combined fire/loading events, severe weather and other trials. Bridge designers have gleaned the information and specifications to predict how carbon fiber rein forced beams will perform under a variety of real-world conditions. With this research data, the team can formulate design tools for future bridge projects.

An expert in corrosion in rein forced concrete, Troconis is work ing with Texas-based Twin Hawk onacommercialgradecoatingthat minimizes corrosion and improves the durability of the reinforced concrete over time.

“We have previously demon strated the efficiency of Twin Hawk’s product and are now bringing the chemical production onto campus to optimize the sur face preparation and coating process parameters,” she said.

In the right environment steel can retain its strength for 100 years. Exposure to salt and wind can weaken and deteriorate the construction material.

Not Taking It Lying Down

“A report from aircraft teardowns showed that nearly 80 percent of cracks on military aircrafts have been found in close proximity to corrosionConsideringsites.”that aircrafts are also exposed to mechanical stress, it’s important to best understand how they affect corrosion.

Since 2001, MDOT has collab orated with Lawrence Technological University (LTU) on research into carbon fiber rein forced polymer materials in con crete bridge beams. MDOT reports that research has reached the field stage and projects utilizing it have been deployed.

Researchers Look for Ways to Mitigate Material Corrosion

At the Corrosion Research Laboratory at the University of Texas at SanAntonio, work aimed at making building products safer is proving Foundedsuccessful.in2016,the Corrosion Labishometostudentresearchers, collaborators and visiting scien tists, all using the space “to inte grate experimental approaches with accelerated degradation through harsh environments” including salt, temperature and humidity.They’re also utilizing computa tional modeling to characterize materials to better understand cor rosion and help mitigate its effects.

Today’s bridges are built to withstand both the daily loads of thousands of vehicles and decades of extreme temperature changes. Prestressing concrete with highstrengthmaterialsisonemethodof strengthening it. In this method, steel cables inside the concrete are tensioned with a significant force, elongating them.Before the strengthened con crete carries loads, the strands are released, compressing the con crete.Subsequent loads on the beam have to overcome this built-in compression to actually stress the beam.Prestressing also reduces or eliminates cracking from concrete shrinkage; it allows thinner and longer spans, according to MDOT.

He said the technology is becoming wildly popular well beyond Michigan’s borders.

This can be done through the evaluation of corrosion and attack onstructuralalloysinrelevantcon ditions, said Troconis.

“All this information can feed structural life management tools and lead to more efficient mainte nance schedules.”

“I hope our ongoing work gen erating new knowledge and tech niques will positively impact safe ty across the board,” said Brendy Rincon Troconis, assistant profes sor and co-principal investigator.

The goal is to increase the dura bility of reinforced concrete in a sustainable way while minimizing risks to humans and the broader environment.“Corrosion is a significant risk to safety in many fields,” Troconis said. “Therefore, I hope our ongo ing work generating new knowl edgeandtechniqueswillpositively impact safety across the board.”

No one in the construction industry needs to be made aware of rising diesel prices over the past year. They’ve felt the pain. Through the first week in July, the average price of diesel fuel was nearly 70 percent higher than the year There’sprior.nosingle magic bullet to reduce fuel costs, improve fuel efficiency or help you navigate through these unprecedented times; however, a group of strategies can certainly help.

California-based, Graniterock burns through approximately 3 mil lion gallons of diesel fuel each year, producing and delivering concrete and other materials to customers in the San Francisco Bay area. “We pride ourselves on setting a price and sticking to it,” said Rich Sacher,executivevicepresidentofthemate rials division. “However, this year, we could never keep up with the velocity of change.”

Across the industry, fuel surcharges have become more common. In some cases, con tractors and government agencies are delay ing projects and/or spreading out work over a longer time period in the hopes that fuel pricesdropandworkcanbecompletedmore efficiently.

“If a machine isn’t being operated in the optimal mode [eco, produc tion, etc.] or in the optimal gear, it won’t achieve maximum fuel effi ciency,” said AccordingHerman.toHerman, John Deere’s JDLink system allows managers to see where their machines are hitting key utiliza tion on job sites. This is based on machine load factors, engine loads and gearing.

As a result, the company did something it has never done before — it instituted a fuel surcharge. The fuel surcharge is based on a publicly available data source and adjusted monthly.According to Sacher, Graniterock chose a fuel charge, because it believes it is the fairest option that offers full transparency to its customers. To ease the burden, it stood behind customers with long-term commit ments.“Anytime you have a challenge in a sup ply relationship or a contractual relationship it forces you to reach out and challenge each other,” said Sacher. “Customers appreciate that the fuel surcharge is something they can clearly show to their own customers.”

Use These Tips to Minimize Impact of Diesel Fuel Prices

Telematic data offers valuable insight into fuel efficiency and machine utilization. “Across the industry, telematics data is often underutilized,” said Larry Herman Jr., telematic support supervisor at RDO Equipment Co., which represents ConExpoCon/AGG exhibitors John Deere and Vermeer.According to Herman, many factors can contribute to fuel burn rate and excessive fuel“Telematicsconsumption.systems, like John Deere’s JDLink, can track utilization data including idle time, fuel consumed while in idle, and compare that data across the fleet to identify opportunitiesforimprovement,”said Herman.JDLink’s Machine Analyzer tool allows managers to compare data for the entire fleet, specific groups of equipment or machine types. Another area to focus on are the gears or modes the machine is being operated in.

Track Fuel Costs With Fleet Management Software Wright highly recommends fuel manage ment software to help managers keep an eye on costs. Reports from FuelMaster software show the vehicle number, who fueled the vehicle, the number of gallons, date, time, pump and product. She adds in the fuel costs, which change every time they load their two on-site tanks. “Having some type of monitoring system reduces theft,” said Wright. When she sees fuel efficiency decreasing, she can have the maintenance team identify any issues.

Be WhenWithTransparentCustomersImplementingFuelSurcharge

Hermanencouragesmanagerstositdown with a specialist at the dealer who can offer in-person or remote support to help cus tomers delve into their data and capabilities.

If you’re fueling at retail, several apps can helpyouidentifythelowestpriceforgasand diesel near you such as Gas Buddy and Drivvo.

According to RDO’s Herman, air filters should be cleaned daily and changed regu larly. Fuel filters should be monitored for water or sediment that could lead to poor fuel economy. Lastly, be sure track tension and tire pressures are set to the proper points to avoid overworking your machines and burning more fuel than is necessary.

It’s never a good idea to skimp on machine maintenance, especially those tasks with a direct impact on fuel efficiency.

“If a machine isn’t being operated in the optimal mode or in the optimal gear, it won’t achieve maximum fuel efficiency.”

“Too much hard utilization and you are wearing the machine and burning more fuel,” said Herman. “Too low utilization and you are burning excessive fuel where a smaller machine could better perform that work.”With telematics data in hand, managers and foremen have the information they can use to coach their operators to maximize productivity with utilization.

Shop Around for Fuel, Insist On Transparency RobertaWright, CEM and fleet coordina tor of the city of Lynchburg,Va., has learned to shop around when it comes to fuel prices.In2018, when she discovered she could get a better price from other vendors than the vendor on contract, she broke the contract and started to get quotes for every load of fuel.The net savings added up to more than $103,000 over 5 years. Withanincreasingnumberofsup ply chain issues, this yearWright has returned to contract purchasing, but with a twist. She asked participating vendors to show documentation of what they paid for the fuel, plus their constant, delivery fees and the total price per gallon of fuel for each load. “It’s not that I am trying to undercut everyone. It’s my job to get the lowest price.”While your business may not have the buying power of a municipality, the point is to keep vendors honest by keeping the fuel pricing“Anyonetransparent.candoit,” said Wright.

The answers aren’t always clear-cut. “Auto-idle/shutdown can be beneficial in some situations, but not every situation as eachbusinessanduse-caseisdifferent,”said Jacob Koon, an RDO telematics consultant based in Texas. “For example, an excavator on a pipeline jobmaybecontinuallydiggingandhaverel atively low idle. That machine may be a good candidate for auto-shutdown because its job is to be constantly ‘working.’ However, another excavator on that same job may have very high idle because it’s being used to hold the pipe in place while it’s being attached.”

Fisher Engineering, a manufacturer of snow and ice control equipment, has announced an all-new line of Storm Boxx pusher plows with Trace Edge technology. This technology features independent 2-ft. sections that move vertically, oscillate and trip to contour to the plowable surface. The pushers also feature a ¾-in. cutting edge with carbide inserts, making them durable for heavy-duty commercial applications. Self-leveling side plates with replaceable shoes keep the terrain-response advanced cutting edge in contact with the plowable surface.Working together, the Trace Edge sec tions allow the plow to follow closely over contours and obstacles, removing more snow and reducing the amount of ice melt ing material needed. With two greasing locations, the operator can easily keep the components well lubricated for maximum performance.“Weknow our customers need to stay a step ahead in their snow and ice control operations,” saidAndy McArdle, director ofmarketingofDouglasDynamics.“That’swhywe’reexcited tointroduceTraceEdgetechnologytoourlineofpusherplows, which will help operators deliver better results.”

“We began constructing basements, crawlspaces, pole barn foundations/floors, exterior flatwork, waterproofing, as well as providing concrete pumping service, and stone slinger service,” said Steve. “We also did some commercial work, concrete entrances, as well as foundations for new farm co-op facilities.”

“The world of concrete has never been the same,” said Steve. “However, in following my dad's pattern of work ethic,Iamstrivingtoreceivemy50-yearworkingpinjustas he did. Therefore, while I am retiring from the concrete industry and may or may not be seen on construction sites, you will still find me in the working world pursuing other adventures. I'm not quitting — just hanging up one hat and putting on another. I am grateful to everyone with whom I have had the pleasure of working for and working with. I recognize that Beccue Builders Inc. could not have accom plished everything we've achieved without a good team of skilled employees as well as loyal customers.”  CEG Steve (L) and Don Beccue proudly stand beside their new Putzmeister pump truck — making concrete work a lot easier.

BICAuctions will host an online only retirement sale for Beccue Builders Inc., a concrete contractor, inAltamont, Ill., on Sept. 21. Items up for bid include more than 500 lots of aluminum concrete forms, a pump truck, boom trucks, an excavator, a wheel loader, stone slinger trucks, trailers, sup port equipment and more.

“My son, Adam, was connected to the world of concrete from birth,” said Steve. “He worked summers at Beccue Builders Inc. while in school and in 2012 chose to join the business full time. WhenAdam joined us, my dad primarily oversawtheshop.Weareproudtobeathree-generationcon crete construction business. “AdamandIworkedtogetherandincooperationwith1823 employees,” Steve said. “While we had the equipment to complete the job, our company was defined by the employ ees and the hundreds of years of collective experience in the concrete industry that made us a great team. Many of these employees have been with us for more than 25 years.”

In 1985, Don sold the ready-mix business and he and Steve worked together on carpentry and concrete work. In 1991, the pair chose to specialize in concrete, changing the name of the business from Beccue Construction to Beccue Builders Inc.

TechAlliance companies also will collab orate on resources for ABC members, including beta testing, free technology pro grams and educational webinars, and pro videABC’s 68 chapters with access to tech nologyproductsusedbyinthefieldbyABC contractor members.

As a result, once the concrete had dried and set, the cement was much better bonded to the “preloaded” tire par ticles. When compared to 100 percent tire-aggregate con crete produced by conventional means, the preloaded con crete exhibited 97 percent, 59 percent and 20 percent increases in compressive, flexural and tensile strength, respectively.

Gizmodo, another technology news site, noted that the Australian scientists found that the solution to replace all the aggregate material in concrete with recycled tire rubber was to place the wet ingredients into steel molds that compress the mixture with pressure to eliminate all the rubber’s pores.

More Research Needs to Be Done

Many engineers have substituted ground-up tires for a portion of the sand or grav el.

That is a significant increase, but still not enough for the rubber tire concrete to be used as a reliable structural ele ment,accordingtoGizmodo,sotheresearchersarecurrently looking into other ways to reinforce and strengthen it even further.Still, the research, first published in the engineering jour nal Structures, noted factors like impact resistance and toughness bode well for the longevity of the concrete, a key focus for scientists working in this area. Concrete is incredi bly carbon-intensive to make, so when it begins to crack, degrade or fail and structures need to be replaced, it places more strain on the environment. Making more durable forms of it while putting old, non-biodegradable tires to use could therefore be beneficial on a couple of fronts.

To investigate its practical application in residential set tings, RMIT researchers poured two crumb rubber-rein forced concrete slabs at the University of South Australia (UniSA) labs in Adelaide in 2018, along with two conven tional concrete slabs. These formed the entrances to a civil engineering laboratory that sees a lot of foot traffic, with the team closely checking the materials' performance over time.

The concern is that the holes created by thesluicingwaterwill,ifundetected,contin ue to erode the material under the levee until theembankmentslumps,potentiallycausing a breach. The construction of a relief well involves sinking a pipe from 8 to 24 inches in diameter to bedrock.At the bottom in the sandyareaofmaterial,thepipeisperforated, and a filter attached so that water can enter but sand and other material cannot. “Our design allows water to get into the pipe and be released without moving foun dation material, which could lead to under mining the levee,” Mensing said. Normally the water rises to a sustainable levelwithinthepipe.Inhigherriverflows,if the water level tops the well, it flows to a pump station and is pumped back into the river.As for the utilities that intersect with the levees, the Corps and Lane management meet regularly with about 20 utility providerstostayontopofwhatlinesneedto be rerouted or modified. Some of the lines run parallel with the embankment or cut through it, while others cross over it. “We prefer the up-and-over utilities. If there is directionalboringforrunninglinesunderthe river, we prefer it to be in the sand under the levee foundation. We don’t prefer any pres surized pipes intersecting with the levees. If a pressurized pipe fails, it can remove mate rial and jeopardize stability.” In its levee work, Lane Construction first degrades the earthen structure before enhancing it. Given the occasional inaccura cies in weather prognostication, this tempo rary lowering of flood protection can make an engineer Degradingnervous.afloodwall or levee goes against everything the Corps is trying to do, of course. Lane is contractually obliged to haveanemergencyplaninplace.Ulmersaid the Corps and contractor are prepared for an emergency.“Ifaflood event did occur, we would fill the gap to the existing floodwall height. In most cases, this would be done by replacing theexcavateddirt.Wedohavesomecasesin which we would utilize sheeting to fill the gap. If the river is rising quickly, we may have fewer than 24 hours to restore the levee.”When the Missouri River severely flood ed in 2019, it interrupted the Corps’ exploratory borings to determine subsurface conditions along the river. Yet in retrospect, Mensing isn’t complaining.

“Since then — knock on wood — we have had three years of amazing construc tion weather.This spring was wet, but it did n’t cause too many delays. We’ve been for tunate.”Heknows how it might have gone. In the Argentine section where Michels is con structing a new pump station, a 50-ft.-deep excavation for a wetwell was made, which could have been a major headache had the river been running fuller. “We never had any major water issues. Wehavebeenreallyfortunate,”saidMensing. The surprises that have come have been surmounted with minimal difficulty. For example,abandonedrailroadlinesandstruc tures have been encountered and removed. The so-called West Bottoms or Central Industrial District near the river was the site oftheKansasCitystockyards,whichoperat ed for 120 years. Crews ran into remnants of the fencing and structures there. “We are finding many remnants of the stockyards,” said Mensing. “They have been a challenge because of how stoutly they were construct ed.”Ulmer agrees. “In the Central Industrial District levee work, we hit several aban doned structures, including brick buildings that were knocked down and buried several years ago, as well as utility lines, concrete walls and so on. We’ve worked closely with the Corps on those issues and are very pleased with how they have addressed the situation and minimized schedule and cost impacts.”Withfour more years till the 17mi. levee work wraps up, Mensing undoubtedly will keep knocking on wood for continued good weather without unpleasant setbacks. The project began with great promise — with the U.S. Corps of Engineersanddesignpartnerscom pleting the design phase in two years instead of the expected five years.

USACE

specialists assigned to perform the wellMensingwork. describes how flood water pressures can undercut a levee. Like many streams, the Kansas River flows over a founda tion of bedrock, then a layer of sand that can range from 50 to 100 ft. deep and, finally, a clay cap. When rains raise the level of water in the Kansas or any other river, hydraulic pressure can start mov ing sand and water under the levee to the outside where it breaks through the clay blanket and rises to the “Wesurface.callthem sand boils,” Mensing said of the eruptions of sandy water outside the levees. “A sand boil looks similar to a vol cano. We will find a hole on the landward side with flowing water and a cone of sand and/or clay.The size of the boils can vary from a couple of inches to tens of feet. Sand boils are relatively common but are monitored very closely during flood events.”

Crews Prepare to Place New Material to Raise Levee

“That was an accomplishment,” Mensing said, “watching this team of more than 250 people come together during Covid and not skip a beat. It was remarkable.”

Still, the engineer in Mensing knows that the Kansas River, like any other river, is capable of disrupting the best-laid plans.

State DOT Makes Goal to Engineer 100-Year Bridge

Asked what sector members can do to prepare them selves and their businesses, he saidAMPPmembers and the sectoratlargecanstartbybeingadvocatesfortheirindustry. Call local and state representatives for the district you live in or where your business is located in.

“AMPP has a role in making sure that the contractors who perform the work, and those that observe the quality of the performance, are trained, certified and can perform that work so that these long-term benefits are achieved.”

“We’ve calculated the break-even point to be about 22 years based on life cycle maintenance,” Chynoweth said. “But since the data points only go back about 20 years, this is a theoretical esti mate.”Some reductions in cost and delivery time for the technology’s components have been since one supplier, Tokyo Rope, built a fabrication facility in Michigan.Engineers are now closer than ever to their goal of building bridges with a minimum 100-year service life, which is both a state and national target.

“That role might be in making certain that the material selection and the physical design of these infrastructure projects is done in such a way that the asset is protected for as long as possible,” he said. “Now, it all needs to be done in a sustainable manner. That hasAMPP written all over it, from the front-end design, selection of materials, and the specification for the long-term corrosion protection sys tems.”The advice Adley gave AMPP members applies to any construction contractor working on a transportation project that comes out of the infrastructure bill.

“Engage them in the conversation, because all of this funding is going to flow ultimately through the states,” he said. “Some of which they have immediate control over, and others they have to apply for throughgrants.Thosearegoingtocreate opportunities for AMPP membership to participate in.” Ask simple questions, said Adley: “How is our state receiving these funds? What’s its vision on how they should be dispersed? And are we incorporating sound corrosion design, management and oversight provisions in the utiliza tion of these funds to ensure that our investment is sustainable?” Adam Christopher, AMPP manager of government relations, believes the key for coatings professionals and other contractors is to be a part of the process. He said the goal is “to make sure pol icymakers understand the need for actively planning and engaging and making sure that things are protected.” Christopher said that’s one of the rea sonsournation’sinfrastructureisinsuch a state of disrepair today.

DanAdley, retired CEO of engineering consultant KTATator, Pittsburgh, Pa., said every aspect of the infrastructure bill involves construction materials, where the corrosion and coatings sector has a role.

“It’s that we haven’t had that tradi tionalfocusofmakingsurethebestpoli cies are in place to make sure that assets are properly maintained.”  CEG

Carbon fiber, an alternative to steel, has corrosion-resistant strands. It requires less maintenance over time, so it results in longer service life.

One factor limiting further deploy ment of carbon fiber bridge beams is the pricetag.Carbonfiberelementscancost as much as three to four times more than comparable steel elements. On the flip side, though, they are anticipated to last much longer than steel, so they may prove to be cheaper in the long run.

Climate change is blamed for infrastructure corrosion as increases in temperatures and humidity can corrode roads and bridges.

No Whitewashing the Importance President Biden’s infrastructure bill may stave off mate rials deterioration as it improves the nation’s roads and bridges — and benefit corrosion professionals in the process.Coatings experts weighed in on what the infrastructure legislation means for the corrosion sector as a whole and members of the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (AMPP) specifically.

THREE ANCILLARY WIRE PLIES STEELABOVECABLE

SPECIAL TREADFORMULARUBBERPATTERN

A friction drive belt, as implied by its name, is a track that is tensioned to smooth rubber wheels much like a conveyor belt. The tractive force generated for propulsion is the friction between the drive wheels and the roller path of the track. The positive drive track is primarily a friction drive belt (most of the time) with metal sprockets that are interlaced with rubber blocks. At the point the friction drive is overwhelmed, the sprocket catches the rubber blocks for a positive engagement without any noticeable difference. Protects the steel cable from the wear of the driving wheel

The drive lug applies unique rubber compound with high hardness and tensile strength. Meanwhile, its inner structure is optimized according to different drive type (friction or positive), allows long service life.
