City of Lawrence Selects McCarthy for Wastewater Project

McCarthy Building Companies Inc.’s WaterServicesteamwasrecentlyselectedas the general contractor for the $70M improvement project for the Kansas River Wastewater Treatment Plant in Lawrence, Kan.Theimprovementproject,whichaligns with the city of Lawrence’s strategic plan andsustainabilitygoals,marksthecity’ssec ond-largest funded wastewater project. The improvements are required to meet the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) regulatory permit require ments issued by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

Lawrence Wastewater Treatment Plant Updates

The plant, which receives nearly 80 per cent of the city’s wastewater, was originally opened in 1956 and has an average daily flow of 8 million gal. per day (MGD).As an end-of-line facility that processes and dis chargeseffluent(treatedwastewater)intothe Kansas River, it’s critical that the plant uti lizes current technology and remain func tional throughout the construction process.

“We are excited to be moving forward on this very important project for the city of Lawrence with McCarthy.This is a complex projecttoenhanceourtreatmentprocessesto reduce nutrients in order to meet our regula tory permit requirements,” said Trevor Flynn, assistant director of municipal servic es and operations of the city of Lawrence. “As part of our strategic plan, this project will ensure we stay in compliance with our discharge standards and achieve our waste water reliability and sustainability goals”.

The robust scope of work, which will be completed by McCarthy as the project’s

CMAR (construction manager at risk), includes:

ï replacing major motor control centers and upgrading electrical equipment, includ ing transferring from city-owned transform ers to utility-owned transformers;

ï converting from aeration to a biological nutrient removal (BNR) treatment process, which includes converting four aeration basins to BNR basins, converting the exist ing sludge holding tank to a return activated sludge (RAS) fermenter, as well as upgrad ing to gearless, high-speed turbo blowers and a new thickened waste-activated sludge tank;

ï building a new supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) facility with a new fiber loop, which will help plant staff

more efficiently monitor and address system challenges;

ï converting a chlorine contact basin into a new UV facility, which utilizes a different disinfectant process that is more environ mentally friendly and sustainable; and

ï upgrading grit handling equipment to current standards as well as additional upgrades, including valve replacements.

Advantages of CMAR Delivery

“This is the city’s first wastewater project using CMAR delivery, which will be an asset since it fosters more flexibility for the cityalongwithacollaborativeteamenviron ment and provides a seamless improvement process while maintaining plant operations,”

said William Brennan, project manager of McCarthy. “With so many of our national water group team members and their fami lies living in communities across the Midwest, we are proud be part of this proj ect, and to be supporting the city of Lawrence in its strategic plan that makes health, safety and sustainability a priority.”

The wastewater treatment plant has a dry weather capacity of 25 MGD and an addi tional 40 MGD for wet weather. Black & Veatch is the project consultant and McCarthy is in the process of soliciting experienced trade partners for the improve ment project. Preconstruction is under way currentlywiththeproject’sconstructionslat ed to begin in May 2023 and completion is expected to be in fall 2026.

Doosan Days of Community Service events, a companywide volunteer effort aimed at giving back to the communities where Bobcat employees live and work.

UPS Invests More Than $330M for Two Kentucky Projects

On Oct. 27, Gov.Andy Beshear announced UPS Supply Chain Solutions Inc. will grow its pres ence in the commonwealth with two new-location projects totaling $334 million in investments and creating 435 high-wage jobs in Jefferson and Bullitt counties.

“We often talk about companies trusting in and believing in the resources and opportunities pro vided here in the commonwealth,” Beshear said. “UPS is an example of one of the largest brands in the world doing exactly that. Just as important as the economic impact of these announcements is the quality of jobs being created for Kentuckians and their families. The foundation is being set for years of economic success to come, and we are only getting started. I want to thank UPS for once again investing in the com monwealth. I am thrilled to see their continued success.”

The Louisville project includes a 1 million-sq.-ft. facility, with the company investing over $155 mil lion and creating 315 high-wage

jobs for local residents. UPS also will construct a 1 million-sq.-ft. facility in Bullitt County with a $178 million-plus investment, cre ating 120 quality jobs. The exact locationofbothprojectsisyettobe determined, and these investments have already been included in the company’s capital plans.

“With these two new facilities, we are excited to continue to grow in the Louisville area, and we appreciate the enthusiastic support from Gov. Beshear, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer and leaders in Jefferson and Bullitt counties,” said Nick D’Andrea, UPS vice president of public affairs. “The city and region are vital to serving our customers and this is just the latest investment in the metro area, which also includes a new aircraft hangar currently under construc tion on the north end of Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport.”

UPS is the largest employer in metro Louisville, with more than 25,000 employees working in air, ground and supply chain opera

tions. The company’s Worldport global air hub at Louisville Muhammad Ali International air port is the centerpiece of the com pany’s global air network, with nearly 400 flights arriving and departingeachday.UPSalsooper ates 21 Supply Chain Solutions warehouses in the region, totaling more than 8 million sq. ft. of space dedicated to warehousing and dis tribution for customers. The com pany’s operations in Kentucky cre ate a significant economic impact, including 62,000 direct and indi rect jobs created and $2.5 billion in annual payroll.

Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer

noted the unprecedented economic momentum of the Louisville region and economic impact this continued partnership with UPS will bring.

“Louisville is on track to have one of its best years for economic development in the last decade,” he said. “Since the creation of Louisville Forward eight years ago, our strategy has centered around pursuing high-wage jobs in high-growthsectors,includinglab oratory and medical logistics, and as a result, we have seen the aver age annual wages for economic developmentprojectsgrow26per cent. Our decades-long partnership

with UPS Healthcare, UPS Airlines and UPS Supply Chain Solutions continues to bring great opportunity to our community, and we are excited to welcome 315 new jobs and $155 million in investment to Louisville with this latest announcement.”

Since taking office, Gov. Beshear’s administration has wel comed $21 billion in investments that are creating 40,000 jobs, including the two largest economic development projects in state his tory. In September 2021, Gov. Beshear and leaders from Ford Motor Co. and SK Innovation cel ebrated a transformative $5.8 bil lion investment that will create 5,000 jobs in Hardin County. And in April of this year, the Governor was joined by leadership at Envision AESC to announce a $2 billion investment that will create 2,000 jobs in Warren County. These announcements solidify Kentucky as the EV battery pro ductioncapitaloftheUnitedStates.

ConExpoHelpsShowWhereConstructionIndustryIsGoing

As ConExpo-Con/AGG continues to draw near, Stephen Roy, president, Region North America, at AEM member company Volvo Construction Equipment, discussed histhoughtsontheshowandthedirectionof the construction equipment industry.

Roy discussed what attendees and fellow exhibitors can expect from Volvo at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, what he looks forward to most about the upcoming edition of the show, and why it’s so important for equipmentmanufacturerstomaketheirpres ence known to construction industry profes sionals in attendance this coming spring in Las Vegas.

We’re just a few short months away from ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s been almost three years since the construction industry came together in Las Vegas for theshow.Withthatinmind,whatareyou personally looking forward to most about the 2023 edition?

Roy:Forme,it’sreallybeingabletohigh light where Volvo is and where we’re at in our journey during a time that has been transformative in our industry. ConExpoCon/AGG offers us a chance to showcase whatwehave,gatherfeedbackfromourcus tomers and engage our industry partners.

To really make a show like ConExpoCon/AGG work, the face-to-face aspect of it is so important. I think that’s why LasVegas is the perfect venue for it. It attracts so many people, and with all the changes we’re see ing in our industry, I think it’ll be the perfect environment for people to find the latest and greatest innovations, as well as learn what will help their business succeed.

What does it mean for Volvo to be a part of the largest trade show in North America? And along those same lines, what should peo ple expect to see from Volvo this coming year?

Roy: At Volvo we consider our selvesachangeagentinthisindustry. Our theme is actually “Change starts here. Be ready for it.” So, for us at Volvo, we want to be at ConExpoCon/AGG to help illustrate where we see the industry going and how wearepreparingourcustomerstobe ready for it.

We’re not alone in this, but some of things we will showcase at the showwillreallyhighlighthowVolvoisdriv ing a focus on sustainable power and automation, and how we can help our cus tomers be more productive, more efficient and more successful in their efforts to serve their own customers.

We always say our goal is to make cus

tomers successful with their customers, so that’s the approach we’re taking. More specifically, we’ll have a mix of existing product, product that’s coming out soon and some forward-looking product that — like I mentionedbefore—willillustratewherethe industryisgoing.Thatmeansafocusonsus tainability, using electric machines and other sustainable power. We’ll showcase small compact electric equipment, all the way to larger equipment that has a mix of electric and diesel.

One thing that’s extremely important for us,andanareaoffocusforVolvo,centerson solutions for our machines. There’s no doubting the value and importance of the machines themselves. However, to maxi mize productivity and uptime, it takes the right solutions. So, at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, we’re going to showcase a lot of telematics platforms, a lot of productivity platforms, as well as machine controls — solutions, to increase productivity and uptime.

ensure attendees at shows like ConExpoCon/AGG get the most out of their time spent with your organization?

Roy: We’re very focused on making events and exhibitions like ConExpoCon/AGG a really valuable experience, so when our attendees are in the booth, they have access to the right information and the right experts who can answer their questions — and we want them to have fun in our booth too.

However, we don’t want to forget all those folks who won’t be able to be with us in LasVegas this coming March.And, while there’s every reason to expect the show to welcome another record-breaking crowd, we’re also aware there are probably just as many people who are interested in what’s taking place in Las Vegas, but they aren’t able to travel there. So, we’re really focused on offering a valuable virtual experience as well.

We know for sure that we’ll have a lot of folks from the construction industry at the show in Las Vegas. But there are still plenty of people whoareconsideringitandmaking that decision at this point. If you could provide a piece of advice or a thought for them to consider, what would you say?

Roy: This show is once every three years. The technology shifts since the 2020 show are quite signif icant. And I think being there faceto-face helps secure a true sense of where the industry is going. Additionally, as an OEM, we want feedback from our customers, too. We want to hear what they struggle with and how can we support them as we continue to develop leadingedge machinery, but also solutions that will support their fleet and their job operations.

ConExpo-Con/AGG every three years? Why is it so important for companies to maketheirpresenceknownatthispartic ular show?

Roy: I think there are a couple of major reasons why. For me, I think it’s a great time toseecustomersinoneplace,reconnectwith customers and talk about the business at hand, as well as how we can support them. But it’s also for OEMs to reach new cus tomers and new customer segments.

The construction equipment industry is quite diverse. We’re seeing customers and applications today that maybe we weren’t talking to in the past — especially with the introduction of zero-emission, low-noise electric machines — so it’s exciting for us to pursue some of these new and valuable opportunities.

It’s a really exciting time to be in the construction industry, as well as the equipment industry serving construction customers.Withthatinmind,asyoulook forward to this show and even beyond, what industry trends are you excited about in the future, and what trends do you think are going to be on display or showcased at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023?

Roy: First and foremost, I think our cus tomers are looking to make sure they become more efficient, more sustainable, and how they can support their customers. I think that you’ll see that when it comes to electrification, we’ll have discussions around autonomous and teleoperations machinesaslaborcontinuestogettight.And we’ll continue to focus on how to improve safety, productivity and uptime for our machines. Those are things customers today say consistently are important and will be more important in the future.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Roy: One thing we’re very excited about is having our Gold Rush stars with us at ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s really exiting that we’ll have an electric-powered rally cross car that’s part of the FIA World Rallycross racing organization, right now in Europe, but making its way across the globe soon.

You’ve mentioned Volvo will have a lot in store for folks that stop by and visit yourboothattheshow.We’veseenindustry exhibitions and events continue to evolve, change and even grow over time. In what ways has Volvo responded to

Turning that question on its head a little bit, we know it’s important for attendees to be there, but on the exhibitor side of things, what do you think the value proposition is for those who decide to make such an investment in exhibiting at

And then, on behalf of my fellow col leagues at Volvo, I just want to say ConExpo-Con/AGGisourtimeasanindus try to show where the construction equip ment is going and the changes that are com ing, as well as an opportunity for equipment manufacturerswhosupporttotheshowtobe recognized for their efforts in driving trans formational change within the construction industry.

FindingNewRevenueStreamsforDealers:F&IOpportunity

While dealers are always looking to increase sales and improve customer services, they do not always look for opportunities to find new rev enue streams.

Brett Davis, president of the construction and agriculture division of Trnsact, thinks thereisaclearmissedopportu nity for commercial trucking and equipment dealers looking to grow, and he would know. Prior to joining Trnsact, Davis heldnumerousleadershiproles in his 25-year tenure at CNH Industrial. He served as a pres ident and chairman of CNH Industrial Capital, president of CNH Latin America Financial Services, vice president of New Holland North America and president of Banco CNH Industrial Capital in Brazil. He directed the P&L of the North American division of the New Holland Brand (Agriculture & Construction equipment), leading a team of 500 direct and indirect employees, and guiding more than $1.5B in annual sales.

During his time at CNH, Davis learned many things, including how his dealer part ners best worked with their customers, their manufacturers and their preferred lenders. Their efforts were often hyperfocused on meeting their customer’s needs, but that focus would sometimes miss opportunities to drive new revenue. Most notably, few dealers prioritized finance & insurance (F&I) and structuring the offerings as a rev enue generator.

Trnsact recently sat down with Davis to discusshowdealerscouldfindnewrevenue, and he shared his thoughts on leveraging F&I.

Moderator: I know we’ve recently driven some discussion about navigating the reces sion, but really we’re talking today about finding new revenue streams, which is always something our dealers are looking to do. Could you maybe address some of the things that our dealers and the dealers who you worked with over your many years have? Okay, what have you seen them do, andmaybewhathaveyourecommendedfor them to do to adapt and improve during this time?

Davis: You know one of the interesting areas in the equipment business has been the development—orreallytheminimaldevel opment — of true finance and insurance departments within the dealerships. There are some best-in-class standards that would show you that a well-organized finance and insurance group can actually add a signifi

cant amount of revenue to the bottom line of any dealer.

Unfortunately, what we have found and it’s not size dependent. It doesn’t just because you’re big you have a finance department or just because you’re small you don’t it’s just not why it’s not a widespread practiceintheindustryyet.Inothersimilarly situated industries, it’s become entrenched and we’re starting to see the development within our industry, and I think that is one of the things that have held us back in the equipment space and trucking. [One of the reasons this has been holding the industry back] is the lack of technology to help us bringitalltogethertomakeiteasierforusto do business with our customers, and to do business internally by cutting through the red tape and things like that.

That’s really what I want to talk about today at a high level: Where do we get start ed? How do we start this process of creating [F&I revenue] and going from what most of usperceiveasacostcentertoaprofitcenter?

Quite frankly, it is a journey and it takes time and it, and it’s going to take some min imal amounts of investment, but the rewards that can be gleaned from creating that department are numerous.

Moderator: That certainly would be a changeinmindsetforalotofdealers.Ithink you already started to dive into this a little bit, so could you talk about how F&I could become a profit center instead of a cost cen ter?

Davis:So,youknowandtheenvironment certainly helps today as well. One good example is, as you know, all financing is such an important component of every equipment transaction, whether it’s lease or finance. There’s lots of creative financing

that I saw in the and worked a lot in the agri cultural business.

So we saw all kinds of different types of payment streams, annual payments, and other things that you don’t regularly see in other businesses. [In agriculture], you’d see consecutive payments lined up with the har vest and we also saw a lot [of similar mod els] in our utility and construction business, as well.

Ifyouknow,if[thecustomers]wereland scapers with heavy income in the summer versus the winter for snow removal, we’d see putting together things like “snow leas es.” So it is really the financing that plays such an integral role in customer acquisition and customer retention.

The one thing that has not been complete ly exploited is the ability to, perhaps, make money for the dealership with the financing revenue,and,alotoftimes,that’sjustadding a little bit extra onto the rate.

Quite frankly, in a very low [interest] rate environment,whichwe’vehadforanumber of years — it’s certainly changing now — it was kind of difficult to stash a quarter point here, a third of a point here, or whatever the case may be.

But in a rising rate environment, it actual ly becomes a lot easier to be able to generate a little extra revenue. And again, we’re not saying add points and points and points. Theremaybeopportunitiesforsomedealers to do that, but what we’re suggesting here is a very modest fee that goes into the interest rateandmarksitup,andcreatesalittlebitof a revenue stream for a dealer. [Trnsact edi tor’s note: A common practice in auto and other industries as part of facilitating financ ing].

We’d be remiss if we didn’t talk about

insurance. With insurance, we often kind of miss out. When you use the word insurance [we mean], true Insurance that’ssoldatthepointofsaleat dealershipsthroughthelenders or through the captives or even through the OEMs, which is physical damage insurance that is true insurance.

There is an opportunity for dealers to earn revenue from that insurance. It may require some licensing, so if there was an application and one person or a certain person inside the dealership that was licensed to be the insurance broker or salesperson, the dealership would be able to receive com missions from the insurance which are readily paid in other industries.

Additionally, you have products like an extended warranty. I like to see as a best practice for dealers, every piece of used equipment be advertised with some sort of extended plan, extended warranty plan,orevenamaintenanceplan—twodif ferentthingsbuttwodifferentpossibilitiesor sources of income as well.

So the importance of those and it not only is going to create additional profit for the dealer by driving more parts and services back to the dealer enhancing the absorption of a dealer, but you can also make commis sions for lack of a better term from those products as well.

That’s certainly something you see real ly across our society at this point with offers of warranties and maintenance pack ages on pretty much everything. When dealers take advantage, they can “stitch” a customer to my dealership, I think that into my brand I think that’s really critical. So what I mean by stitched is you have them on the financing contract, you put it through the lender. You keep an eye on it, you know when the lease term is up. You’re continuously communicating with the customer.

The same goes for the service contracts, the maintenance contracts, and the extended warranty. Having [customers]come back continuously for services is one of the best opportunities to re-engage with that cus tomer by seeing them frequently. They’re stitched to the dealer... and keeping them close to you.

Whenit’stimeforthemtogetanewpiece ofequipmentoradditionalequipmentyou’re there first and foremost and in front of that customer really again, I like to use that for stitchingandbacktothedealer.That’sareal ly good analogy.

Murphy Tractor Holds Open House in Park City, Kan.

Murphy Tractor & Equipment Co. held an open house at its Park City, Kan., location at 5255 N. Deere Rd. on Nov. 11. Murphy Tractor’s latest equipment and technology was on display for customers and team members, and manufacturer repre sentatives were on hand to answer questions. An equipment rodeo, BBQ lunch and dessert truck were just part of the festivities.

The highlight of the event was the chance to view the Vince Lombardi Trophy — the Kansas City Chiefs won two Superbowls, first in 1970 and again in 2020. The trophy was brought courtesy of retiredChiefs’playersMikeBell(defensiveend)andJohnLohmeyer (defensive tackle/defensive end).

Bell,whowastheteam’snumberonedraftpickin1979playedfor 12 seasons, retiring in 1991. Lohmeyer was drafted by the Chiefs in 1973 and played four seasons. Both are members of the Kansas City Ambassadors, a group of former KC players who participate in out reach events and support the community with local scholarship pro grams, charity golf tournaments and other appearances.

Volvo Continues to Invest in Electric Hauling Solutions

Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) has announced its intention to invest approximately $32.7 million, into its production facility in Braås, Sweden, between now and 2027.

The facility in Braås, long rec ognized for its environmental cre dentials, specializes in the design and manufacture of articulated haulers for the global market. It produced a fossil-free construction machine that was the first in the worldtobedeliveredtoacustomer — an A30G which is now in use on customer NCC’s work site.

The decision to invest in Braås was made byAB Volvo’s board of directors and means that the facto ry will be adapted over the coming yearstoenableittoproducealarg er range of articulated haulers with different types of powertrain to reflect the shift in demand towards equipment with more sustainable power sources.

The investment will be used to extend production capacity at the 45,000 sq. m site in southern Sweden to broaden the product range going forwards, with the addition of new buildings and pro duction equipment.

Setting its sights firmly on the future and in line with its purpose to build the world we want to live in — and workplaces we want to work in — Volvo CE also will investinautomationandergonom ics to both reduce the need for employees to engage in repetitive

tasks and create a safer work envi ronment.

Sustainable Innovation in Its DNA

Pioneering manufacturing tech niques is nothing new for Braås.

Since producing the world’s first series manufactured articulated hauler, the “Gravel Charlie”, a 10ton hauler, in 1966, the facility has been at the forefront of innovation.

The site is most famous for pro ducingthelargestarticulatedhauler in the world, the 60-ton class A60H, a real feat of engineering.

As well as constructing the

world’s first articulated hauler made from fossil-free steel, the engineering talent based here also has been instrumental in the build ing of the world’s first prototype articulated hauler powered by hydrogen fuel cells — the concept Volvo HX04 — which is currently the focus of testing to develop future hydrogen solutions.

Braås also is leading the way in environmental protection and was the first in the construction indus try to achieve a carbon neutral operation powered entirely by renewable energy. In 2018, the site also became a zero-landfill facility.

“The transport and construction industry is undergoing a transfor mation with, among other things, an increasing number of electrified vehicles,” said Jonas Lakhall, site manager at Volvo CE in Braås.

CRH Americas Materials, Top Asphalt

Producer, Joins NAPAClimate Initiative

CRHAmericas Materials, one of NorthAmerica’s largest asphalt paving companies and asphalt producers, has joined The Road Forward, an industry-wide initiative of the NationalAsphalt PavementAssociation (NAPA) to achieve net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements. The move is the latest in many steps CRH has taken to proactively address the challenges and opportunities of climate change.

SustainabilityisdeeplyembeddedinallaspectsofCRH’s business.CRHiscommittedtobuildingamoreresilient,cir cular and sustainable world, which includes product innova tion in warm-mix asphalt and recycled asphalt pavements, both of which are key components to achieving the industry goals established in The Road Forward. Moreover, CRH’s InnovationCentreforSustainableConstruction(ICSC)part ners with industry and academia to develop new and inno vative technologies to advance environmental goals and solutions, with more than 60 research projects under way.

“CRH’s leadership in the areas of sustainability and envi ronmental responsibility, both at the company level and at the Association level, have been tremendous,” said NAPA PresidentandCEOAudreyCopeland.“Throughinnovation, leadership, and profound commitment, CRH sets an exam ple for asphalt mix producers and pavers throughout our industry.”

ANAPAmember since 1986, CRH’s active leadership in the association has made a significant contribution to advancing the industry. Executive Vice President John Keating served as NAPA chairman of the board in 2013, a role that CRH Americas Materials New England Group President Christian Zimmermann will embrace in 2023.

“In addition to delivering a more sustainable built envi ronment, our decarbonization efforts often have the added benefit of reducing the cost of asphalt pavement materials, improving their performance, or both,” said Ron Sines, CRH’s vice president, Sustainability & Decarbonization.

Sines chaired NAPA’s Climate Stewardship Task Force, which developed The Road Forward based on extensive research and input from producers, suppliers and academia.

“By formally joining The Road Forward initiative, CRH will help further advance emissions reduction technologies and practices, generating value for pavement owners, indus try and other stakeholders.”

“CRH’s commitment to and support of The Road Forward further propels our collective vision for the future: sustainable communities and commerce, connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements,” said Copeland.

Vögele Introduces Four of ItsNewestMini-RoadPavers

Vögele will be presenting four new miniroad pavers at bauma 2022 that are able to pave widths ranging from .8 to 5.9 ft. Both thewheeledpaverandthetrackedpaverwill be available with optional diesel or batteryelectric drive systems. The new machines round off the lower end of Vögele’s wide range of asphalt paving products.

“The demand for flexible and sustainable solutions at small construction sites is high and our view is that it will continue to increase. Our new mini pavers will enable customers to complete small paving jobs quickly, cost-effectively, sustainably and thereforeprofitably,”saidMarcioCavalcanti Happle, head of sales, local marketing and product/customer support at Vögele.

Wide Range of Applications

Their compact dimensions and variable paving widths make the MINI 500 (diesel) and MINI 500e (battery-electric) tracked pavers as well as the MINI 502 (diesel) and MINI502e(battery-electric)wheeledpavers ideally suitable for use in small-

502e

Tenders are increasingly defining stricter emission requirements for construction proj ects. The battery-electrical drive systems used in the MINI 500e and the MINI 502e make them ideal for local emission-free asphalt paving.

The Vögele electric mini pavers, marked with the suffix “e”, both provide a sustain able production system when used in con junction with the likewise battery-electrical tandem rollers from the Hamm compact line.

Sales Launch in Europe

The European market launch of the diesel-powered models is planned for the first half of 2023 and the launch of the EPower machines will follow afterwards. European distribution will be handled by the Wirtgen Group’s sales and service networks.

that include con structing cycle and pedestrian paths, paving between railroad tracks as well as repair work in small inner-city sites, which are often characterized by their narrow working spaces.

The standard screed working width is 2.6 ft. and it can be enlarged up to 4.4 ft. hydraulically. The minimum paving width can be reduced down to .8 ft., or the width canbebuiltuptoamaximumof5.9ft.using bolt-on extensions.

Compact transport dimensions of 105 by 62.4 in. and low weights of between 2,205 and 3,307 lb. (depending on the model) allow for easy transport. A narrow turning radius makes the four wheeled or tracked pavers extremely agile.

Cemen Tech Expands Manufacturing Facility to Meet Increasing Demand

Even amid so much global economic uncertainty, Cemen Tech, a manufacturer of volumetric technology, is on track to expand this year.

The Iowa-based, mid-sized manufacturing company recently completed the expansion of its facility in Indianola, Iowa, by adding 12,000 sq. ft., bringing the total square footage of the company’s manufacturing facility to 120,000 sq. ft. The expansion is part of the company’s commitment to investing nearly $3 million to upgrade facilities, equip ment and technology.

“The expansion of our headquarters is not only about increasing our production capacity to meet the demand for our technology, but also about investing in people,” said Connor Deering, president and CEO of Cemen Tech.

“CemenTech is literally changing an industry and chang ing people’s lives through our market leadership.”

As part of a planned facility expansion, the company is settingasidespaceforthenew,“CemenTechUniversity,”an innovative answer to the question of how to develop employees with highly desired, specialized skills. Classes for those interested in fields like welding, industrial painting and electronics are tentatively set to start in January 2023.

The company also is working with area high schools and

technical schools to forge partnerships in which students work for Cemen Tech part-time, while still pursuing their diploma or degree.

“This way, we train applicants for immediate success on the job, helping to ensure a strong cultural and skills fit between the employee and the company from the start,” Deering said. “It gives us an opportunity to teach new hires about our organizational culture. I believe [our education efforts] will help support an educated team member who’s connected to our culture, resulting in a long-term highly engaged employee.”

InadditiontohousingCemenTechUniversity,theexpan sion also includes new bays for production and research and development (R&D). The long-term investment in R&D infrastructure underscores the company’s commitment to continue to be the leader in volumetric technology.

Cemen Tech’s volumetric mixers enable contractors to mix concrete on the job site and to exact specifications for the job at hand. This allows the contractors to be nimble — getting concrete to complete projects on their own timeline. It also allows them to reduce material waste and ultimately cost.

Fontaine Specialized Helps Lead Tri-State Trailers Sales

A lot can happen over a decade. Just 10 years ago, con struction trailers accounted for approximately 5 percent of Tri-State Trailer Sales stock.

At that time, Tri-State Trailers Sales recognized an open ingforatrailerproviderwithexpertknowledgeintheunique applications and laws that impact the construction industry. While the company’s trailer lines continue to address virtu ally every application in trucking, the dealership made a committment to position itself as a leading authority and source for construction industry-related hauling. Within five years, the dealership’s construction trailers business grew to 10-15 percent and the pattern has continued with the seg ment representing 30 percent of the company’s business today.

Inadditiontodiversifyingthesalesstock,Tri-StateTrailer Sales has made a commitment to service its customers 360 degrees by offering all types of specialized trailers to rent for aslittleasonedaytolong-termleases,ateachofitsfourfullservice locations through the company’s leasing division, TSTL, Inc.

“It’s all about understanding the needs of our customers,” said Tri-State Trailers Sales Territory Sales Representative

axles.

According to Infield, the construction industry has been the dealership’s biggest growth market and Fontaine Specialized, which manufactures all of the trailers men tioned above except for traveling axles and tag trailers, is the company’s leading trailer provider in the segment.

Among the Fontaine Specialized trailersTri-StateTrailers Sales offers are:

ïtheWorkhorselineavailableincapacitiesfrom50to55 tons, close coupled (not spreader capable), with fixed flat leveldeckmatchtoatridemridebogieandoptionalflipaxle. Infield said that the 55LCC model is among the most popu lar for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania;

ïtheMagnitude3+1spreadercapabletrailerlineisavail able with flat level deck (FLD), drop side rail deck (DSR) or beam deck configurations (BMD), and with either a fixed or modular (M) tridem ride bogie and in capacities ranging from 55-60 tons;

ï the Magnitude 3+2 modular spreader capable tridem trailer line is available with a flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR)orbeamdeck(MBMD)in60-to75-toncapacities;

ï the Magnitude 3+3 modular spreader capable tridem

ïtheXcaliburlineofflatbedordropdeckextendabletrail ers are available in lengths that stretch from 48 ft. to 80 ft. or 53ft.to90ft.withexcellentadaptabilityinavarietyofhaul ing applications; and

ï Fontaine’s Renegade, a 30- to 40-ton range fixed tan dem bogie available with hydraulic or mechanical goose neck and optional flip-axle. Renegade models are available inloadeddeckheightsthatrangefrom20in.downtothe12in. mini-deck.

Infield said a key advantage of Fontaine’s Workhorse and Magnitude models is its unique hook and shaft design at the frontofthecompany’strailers. “Onroughoruneventerrain, this feature makes it much easier and quicker to reconnect the gooseneck” he said. “There’s no more alignment needed than getting the gooseneck under the hooks.”

AccordingtoInfield,thesetrailermodelsarepopularwith contractors because deck space is a full 26 ft., free and clear. Inaddition,therideheightadjustmentonboththegooseneck and suspension of Fontaine’s hydraulic detach models have seven settings, making them an extremely user friendly and a very versatile trailer.

“Tri-State Trailer Sales is one of our company’s leading dealers,” said Fontaine Specialized Sales Manager Tyler Vickers. “Over the past three to five years, the dealership’s business has grown exponentially and the company’s focus on being informed about the construction industry is largely responsible for that growth. Their sales team is extremely knowledgeable. We’ve worked very closely with them to provide in-person and online training, plant tours and we’ve haveaccompaniedthemonsalescalls.Withafleetoftrailers selectedtomeetawiderangeofconstructionindustryneeds, andbackedbyoutstandingservice,Tri-StateTrailersisreally focused on providing the right solutions for its customers.”

Randy Infield. “Some of that comes from training and expe rience, but it also involves knowing the right questions to ask. It’s important to factor in what the customer is hauling, what the permit requirements and what the weight restric tions are where the hauling is taking place. Transportation requirements in the construction industry are incredibly diverse,rangingfromoversizedloadsandextremeweightto small, relatively lightweight compact machines. We’ve incorporated what we’ve learned from our customers and our suppliers to tailor our stock to meet the needs of our cus tomer’s transportation challenges.”

Location plays a major role in trailer choice, according to Infield.

“Alot of companies operating in Pennsylvania in need of a low, 18-in. loaded deck height trailer, choose Fontaine’s Workhorse 55LCC over their Magnitude 55LPlus,” he said. “The 55LCC doesn’t need a spreader bar to haul 55 tons and it has a longer gooseneck, so it doesn’t require a flip neck extension, For companies with a multi-state business range, the Magnitude 55L Plus, equipped with a gooseneck exten sion, would be favored because it meets nearly universal state road and highway regulations.”

Tri-State Trailer Sales’ lineup of construction trailers includes hydraulic detach trailers, mini-decks, double-drops, hydraulic tails, multi-axle lowboys, tag trailers and traveling

The Workhorse 55LCC model is among the most popular for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania.

A key advantage of Fontaine’s Workhorse and Magnitude models is its unique hook and shaft design at the front of the company’s trailers.

Felling’s Pan Tilt Trailers Undergo Design Modifications

The Felling Trailers’drop-deck Pan Tilt modelhasundergonedesignmodifications to increase operator ease of use and safety.

The PanTilt is a gravity tilt trailer, using gravity and a center pivot point for tilting the trailer bed. Felling’s Engineering team recently reviewed the Pan Tilt’s design looking for ways to improve operator ease of use along with production efficiencies. Modifications have been made to the Pan Tilt’s locking mechanism, lighting, license plate mount position and location.

The tilt locking mechanism is the most notableofthemodificationsimprovingthe production process, flexibility to function with optional features, and most impor tantly, operator ease of use. The previous locking mechanism was a purchased part that required modification and multiple latches dependent upon a trailer build’s selected features, power up/down, or a toolbox, as it was mounted on the front of the trailer.

“Thegoalwasnottohavealongerhitch length if they [the end-user] optioned cylinders [power up/down] or an extra latch for a toolbox, making the base design more modular, streamlining the manufacturing process,” said Felling Trailers’Engineering Team Lead, Cathy Voge.

The new locking mechanism is located on the front road side of the trailer, operating as a lever that releases a lock bar located under the front deck frame. All the components for this locking system are sourced internally, improving fit and

function.

Modifications completed with an emphasis on production efficiencies were lighting and the license plate mount. Lighting modifications reduced the number of weld compo nentsneeded,replacingthefrontmarkerlightsandmounting platewithbulletlightsthatmountintothehitchchannel.The bulletlightmountedintothehitchchannelalsoprovidesbet

The license plate mount on the pan tilts is utilized across other Felling tilt deck lines. This style mount prominently displays the license plate without obstruction from the tail lights or cargo being transported, promoting operator and towing safety.

The

Felling Trailers’ utility cable reel “R” series model lines have undergone design modifications to

The most significant update to the model design is the auto-locking reel bar system.The auto-locking reel bar system eliminates the use of pins and brackets; it now utilizes a locking plate system.

The new reel design with the auto-locking system debuted to the Utility/Telecom industry at the 2021 Utility Expo in Louisville, Ky. The R series product line offers payload capacities ranging from 1,740 to 13,520 lbs.All models have the capability to load up to a 120 in. diameter reel.

Enhanced operator and transport safety, the auto-locking reel bar system’s locking plates automatically open when lowering the reel to the ground for unloading.As the reel is loaded and raised, the locking plates automaticallyclosetocontainthereelbar.Oncethereelisraisedtotransportposition,spring-loadedpins

The new R series design was released into production in fall 2022 and will reach full production by the first quarter of 2023.

“These are quality-built trailers that provide the versatility and functionality that utility workers need for transporting, deploying, and retrieving material,” said Felling Trailers Utility & Telecom Product Specialist Mark Rapp.

StellarTrailerEliminatesNeedforCDLHazmatCertification

Stellar, an employee-owned and operated manufacturer of mechanic trucks and cranes, tire service trucks, hooklifts, roll-off cable hoists, trail ers, and service truck and van accessories, is expanding its FuelMate fuel trailer line with the new multi-tank fuel trailer.

The multi-tank design enables operators to haul diesel fuel without the need for CDLhazmat certification — helping them stay DOT-compliant while saving on equipment and driver costs.

The Stellar multi-tank fuel trailer is an alternative to fuel transfer tanks and dedicated fuel trucks because it does not require a dedicated chassis and frees up CDLhazmat operators.

The fuel trailer is equipped with seven 110-gal. internally baffled fuel tanks with sight gauge, vented cap and tank breather. It also features one 110-gal. stainless steel DEF tank, work lighting and a drawer system. Additional features and benefits include:

ï A spacious, ergonomically useful 54-in. cabinet with “gull wing” doors.

Grote Industries Develops New 4SEE Smart Trailer System to Improve Safety

Grote Industries is continuing its mission of creating and leading safety-related innovation by developing the 4SEE smart trailer system, a combination of hardware and software that will enable truck fleets to have much more access to data related to their operations and help improve safety on the roadways.

Currently, only 5 percent of the three million trailers on the road in North America are considered smart trailers. Grote Industries is increasing this number with 4SEE, projecting the ability to deliver this groundbreaking technology to 34 percent of trailers by 2027.

set on the future,” said Dominic Grote, CEO and President. “The

The need for accident prevention technology is more paramount now than ever, as 2021 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that traffic fatalities reached a 16-year high. The proximity sensors that are part of the 4SEE system will assist drivers in changing lanes, notifying the driver if a vehicle is in the blind spot of the trailer.

tech revolution in trucking is currently under way, and with 4SEE, Grote is at the forefront of that, giving operators the capability of tracking their fleet easier and keeping drivers and cargo safer on the roads.”

Historically, technological advances in trucking have focused on the cab. By turning that attention to the trailer, fleet operators will have even more control over safety, security, efficiency and cost savings.

Smart trailers allow even more insight and accessibility than the location-focused telematics systems of today provide. They enable drivers to receive critical notifications through a mobile app on their smartphones about problems such as low tire pressure, lights that are about to go out — even crucial information in the event that a trailer is stolen, or the cargo is damaged in transport.

Grote Industries’ 4SEE technology works by connecting the harness, nose box and multiple sensors, creating unique data points for fleets to utilize. 4SEE hardwires all the components with an innovative digital harness system that connects without grease and has a single connection point — the 4SEE nose box — to cab inputs. This allows a driver or fleet manager to have all outputs in one place.

The 4SEE technology has the ability to integrate with existing telematics solutions, so it becomes part of the fleet’s one solution for data needs.

The goal of the 4SEE system is to bring all the independent solutions together into one system, with a common communication stream, without increasing the harness or hardware required on the trailer. The 4SEE digital harness system also provides modules to connect legacy hardware and digital hardware to the same harness while isolating them to prevent one piece of the system from interfering with any other.

“We are already testing these smart trailers, and have over 500,000 miles completed, soon to cross the 1-million-mile threshold,” Grote said. “In so many ways, semi-trucks are the backbone of America, and this technology can start helping businesses immediately. We’re already taking orders and plan to have 4SEE available as soon as October.”

Recent supply chain issues have plagued hundreds of industries, but Grote Industries is able to offer supply chain security by manufacturing 4SEE in NorthAmerica at its own facilities. Additionally, Grote’s 4SEE smart lamps — which help trucks avoid Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) fines and citations — are being manufactured in Madison, Ind., reinforcing Grote’s commitment to providing supply chain solutions and jobs in North America.

Kansas City Royals Consider Several Sites to Replace Kauffman Stadium

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) The Kansas City Royals have selected several potential sites to build a replacement for aging Kauffman Stadium, owner John Sherman said Nov. 15.

In a letter to fans posted on social media, Sherman said the sites are in or near downtown Kansas City, but he did not elaborate. Kauffman Stadium and Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the Kansas City Chiefs, are located far from the city’s downtown.

“In the spirit of [Royals founder] Ewing Kauffman, our current mission is to look ahead to ensure that Major League Baseball and the Kansas City Royals will thrive in this region for decades to come,” Sherman said.

Sherman, who bought the team in 2019, estimated the new stadium district could cost up to $2 billion, which he said would make it the most expensive project in Kansas City history.

Sherman announced last year that the Royals were discussing whether to build a new stadium or renovate Kauffman, which will be 60 years old when the team’s lease expires in 2031.

In his letter, Sherman said renovating the current stadium up to standards neededtocompetewithotherorganizations would cost as much as or more than the new stadium.

“A new home would be a far better

investment, both for local taxpayer dollars already supporting our facility, and for the Kansas City community,” Sherman said.

He said supporters envision a ballpark district around the new venue, with restaurants, shops, offices, hotels and affordable housing.

After a push in the early 2000s to build a stadium downtown fizzled, Jackson County voters in April 2006 approved a sales tax increase to fund $250 million in renovations to Kauffman and Arrowhead.

The new proposal will rely on continuingtheteam’scurrentpublic-private partnership and investment with several local jurisdictions and the state of Missouri, said Sherman, who pledged that Jackson County residents would notbeaskedtocontributemoretaxdollarstothestadiumthantheycurrentlydo.

The next steps will include team officials holding a listening tour throughout the area to discuss the plan and beginning discussions with local, state and federal officials about possible additional funding sources. 

KubotaBringsCompactTrack Loader Production to Kansas

A $178-million renovation of a 750,000sq.-ft. facility by Kubota subsidiary Great PlainsManufacturingisbringingmuchmore than assembly of Kubota compact track loaders (CTL) from Japan to Kansas. It also signals growth of Kubota’s CTL line.

AKubotacorporatestatementonthefacility points out that the United States has the largest compact construction machinery marketintheworld,andthat“themajorityof Kubota’s compact construction machinery intheUnitedStateshavebeenexportedfrom Japan.”

Kubota plans additional investment at the new facility.

“At the start-up, one model of compact track loader will be produced,” according to the statement.

“Going forward, Kubota will establish the supply system that can respond in timely manner through adding new models of compact track loader and improving supply capability.”

The phased expansion transforms the existing facility, a plant that Philips Lighting vacated recently, into Kubota’s North American Skid Steer Loader (SSL) and Compact Tracked Loader Construction Equipmentdesignandmanufacturingcenter.

The completed first phase results in manufacture of Kubota’s SVL65 compact track loaders ramping up and expected to grow through 2023. Kubota expects additional models of construction equipment will be brought into the Salina factory. The project alreadycreated150newjobsasoftheribbon cuttinglastweek.Employmentatthefactory

is expected to surpass 900.

Phase 2 of the CE facility, expected to be complete in 2024, will be a $124 million investment that will include automotivegrade eco-paint system with a line for powder coating and another for liquid applications. Welding, assembly and fabrication areas will be expanded, and a building addition will boost production capacity and add about 200 jobs at the facility.

Salina-based Great Plains is a 45-year-old Kansas company that was acquired by Kubota in July 2016. It established Salina among Kubota’s four strategic growth areas in the United States, along with Edgerton in easternKansas,andlocationsinGeorgiaand Texas.

Great Plains Manufacturing employs more than 2,000 people worldwide. Its five divisions are:

• Great Plains Ag, which manufactures soil management and seed placement equipment, and other farm implements

• Land Pride, which manufactures grounds maintenance tools such as mowers, rototillers,rotarycutters,dirt-workingequipment, and construction equipment attachments

• Great Plains International, which sells the company’s products worldwide

• Great Plains Trucking, which operates a nationwide fleet of flatbed trucks

• Great Plains CE Division, which manufactures powered equipment for the construction industry

Environmental specialists have often wondered what to do with the excess carbon dioxide generat ed by business activities. Planners for this airport project decided to try something new. Their solution was to bury the CO2 inside 22 in. of concrete.

During the paving operations on Runway 5-23L and taxiway D, WalshinsertedtheCO2capturedat a mobile concrete batch plant into the concrete with no apparent effects.

“We worked closely with the FAA to implement guidelines that they had been developing for put ting carbon dioxide into airport pavements,” said Tony McMichael, director of airside development of the airport. “Their studies showed no impact on the pavements, and we have seen no effects either.”

The massive rebuild of the run way will require 275,000 cu. yds. ofconcreteandabout200,000tons of asphalt.This is the equivalent of building 60 mi. of a two-lane high way.Therunwayis10,000ft.long, just short of 2 mi.

Next Level of Snow Clearing: Choosing Snow-Worthy CTLs

By Buck Storlie ASV HOLDINGS INC.

What’s better for clearing snow, a skid steer or a compact track loader?

The common perception is that a wheeled machine would fare better, and it’s often true with many track loaders. It’s why many com pact track loaders are parked for the winter while their wheeled counterparts keep working. However, it’s possible to choose a compact track loader that not only excels in snow, but performs as well as or better than skid steers.

Operators have a lot to consider when look ing for a snow-worthy compact track loader. Machine ground clearance, track surface con tact, weight distribution and more can have a huge impact on performance, productivity and return on investment. Careful consideration of the machine’s undercarriage, the desired appli cation, ROI possibilities and comfort could lead to a track loader that performs all year long.

Ground Up

The process for choosing a track loader for snow and ice clearing works best from the ground up, starting with the tracks.Avariety of options exist, including some modern designs that feature extra length and width and an extremely effective bar-style tread to achieve maximum contact with the ground.

The extra ground contact allows maximum tractiononsnow,iceandslush,runningcontrary toaperceptionthatanaggressivetrackpatternis necessary for traction in winter applications.

Dedicated snow tracks are offered by many manufacturers and may improve performance for some track loaders, but operators will see a higher return on investment by choosing a machine with tracks meant for year-round use that don’t have to be changed with the season.

Advanced suspension systems can improve traction even more by keeping the track in con tact with the ground. Look for a dual-level sys tem that features independent torsion axles between the undercarriage and machine, as well as bogie wheels that flex with the track. This combination not only minimizes vibrations to the machine and operator for improved comfort and ride quality, it also maximizes ground contact for extra traction. For example, when

A variety of track options exist that can be used on snow, including some modern all-season designs that feature extra length, width and a bar-style tread to achieve maxi mum contact with the ground. That extra contact allows maximum traction.

A loader with high ground clearance has year-round benefits. It means less risk of the bottom of the machine getting hung up on snow or other obstacles and improves speed by reduc ing belly drag. Some purpose-built compact track loaders achieve ground clearances as high as 15 in., almost double that of other models.

Operators have a lot to consider when looking for a snow-worthy compact track loader. Machine ground clearance, track sur face contact, weight distribution and more can have a huge impact on performance, productivity and return on investment.

Independent torsion axles in that same situation will push the tracks downward to maintain maximum ground contact. The same thing happens when the track flexes over small obstacles.

Purpose-built track loaders also feature optimal weight distributionscomparedtomodelsconvertedfromskidsteers. Loadersconvertedfromskidsteersareoftentoobackheavy, affecting stability on slopes and reducing overall perform ance. The back of a back-heavy machine can sink and get stuck in deep snow as well as reduce traction and pushing force on ice because of uneven weight distribution.

Look for a track loader with a 50-50 weight balance that spreads the machine’s weight evenly and allows for greater traction and pushing power.

Track bogie wheels also play a role in weight distribution and therefore traction in snow. Most track loaders are only featureahandfulofbogiewheelsincontactwiththeground. Considerchoosingapurpose-builttrackloader,suchassome all-rubber track models, which can feature as many as four timesmoregroundcontactpointsthansteel-embeddedmod els.

The combination of even weight distribution and increased track surface area improves flotation and provides the ability to virtually drive on top of the snow — similar to the concept of snowshoes — while a higher ground pressure

is more likely to sink and get stuck. Ground pressure on a mid-sized all-rubber track machine, for example, can be about 4 psi while a similarly sized steel-embedded rubber track machine may be 5.5 psi.

Loaders with a low ground pressure can even drive up snow piles, giving operators the ability to stack snow higher before needing to start a new pile.

Finally, choosing a loader with high ground clearance has year-round benefits. The greater the distance between the bottom of the machine and the ground, the less likely it is to

get hung up on snow or other obstacles. It can also improve speed by reducing belly drag. Some purpose-built compact track loaders achieve ground clearances as high as 15 in., almost double that of other models.

Factors to Consider

Contractors should think about what machine characteris tics fit their most common jobs.

Overall machine size is a big consideration. Many jobs would be suited to a mid-sized model, but sidewalks and alleyways may call for some of the industry’s smallest sit-in compact track loaders.

Small loaders allow access to tight areas that may other wisehaverequiredmanualshoveling,snowblowersorother open-air equipment. This can improve productivity and allow contractors to move to the next job faster.

Larger spaces such as parking lots naturally call for the largest track loaders.Also look at lift height and whether the desired loader will be able to load dump trucks.

Take speed into account for a machine that will allow fasterjobcompletion.Thefastesttrackloadersonthemarket useinternaldrivesprocketswithreplaceablesteelrollersthat fit with molded rubber lugs to move all-rubber tracks. The system greatly reduces friction compared to steel on steel designs seen in many loaders, and therefore improves speed. It also eliminates direct wear between rollers and track lugs. Plus, individually replaceable sleeves mean operators don’t need to change out the entire sprocket when rollers are worn down.

A higher number of track bogie wheels as well as wider and longer tracks improves weight distribution and therefore traction in snow. Most track loaders only feature a handful of bogie wheels in contact with the ground, as seen in the right example in the graph ic. Some all-rubber track machines feature many more ground contact points than steel-embedded models, as seen in the left example.

Single-rail, open-undercarriage style compact track loader’s leave most components exposed, creating a self-cleaning undercarriage where snow naturally falls out rather than getting trapped and freezing to components.

EvaluateROIWhenDeciding On Compact Track Loader

Don’t forget about comfort. A cold uncomfortable cab could mean less employ ee retention for a contractor and higher fatigue for an owner-operator. Look for sealed, all-weather cabs with heating and cooling. Added features such as Bluetooth, cupholders and radio also can enhance user experience.

Superior ROI

Justlikewithanyequipmentpurchase,it’s important to evaluate potential cost of own ership and return on investment. Selecting a trackloaderthatexcelsinsnowclearingisan ROI benefit in itself because the machine canbeusedduringthewintermonthsinstead ofbeingparked.Thecharacteristicsthatmake aloaderidealforsnowalsotranslateperfect ly to operating on soft surfaces in spring, summer and fall applications, such as land scaping,generalconstructionandagriculture.

In addition to selecting a machine with tracks that don’t need to be changed with the season, look for other characteristics that promote year-round use. Similar to how many manufacturers offer specific snow tracks, it isn’t uncommon to need to switch out a loader’s fluids and lubricants with the seasons. Either that, or a manufacturer may charge for a winter package.

Evaluate whether any of the loader options come standard with all-season fluids tested to be able to handle both high and low ambient temperatures. Some manufacturers

offerfluidsandlubricantsoptimizedfortheir equipment, allowing high performance at temperatures ranging from -30F to 118F. Other standard features to look for include engine block heaters and full temperature range batteries.

Maintenance and upkeep are another cost consideration. Many loaders feature an enclosed tub design in which snow can become stuck, packed and difficult to remove. For ease of cleaning, look for a sin gle-rail, open-undercarriage style compact trackloader.Thisdesignleavesmostcompo nents exposed, creating a self-cleaning undercarriage where material naturally falls out rather than getting trapped and wearing at components. This extends component life and makes clearing ice and snow out of the undercarriage a non-issue.

All-Year Performance

Not all compact track loaders are created equal. Quite a few track loaders are often parked for the winter because of poor per formance,butwithcarefulconsideration,it’s possible to choose a machine that will fit right in with the skid steers clearing snow.

Consider machine characteristics like ground clearance, weight distribution, sur face contact and overall ROI potential. Taking the time to look for an all-season machine means year-round profits and pro ductivity.

Old Runway Becomes Base for New Concrete,Asphalt

McMichael. “We have a high volume of truck traffic on our interstates and a high demand for our cargo operations here at the airport. We also are a hub for other airports and their cargo and passengers. We are try ing to do all we can here at Indianapolis International to make sure everyone around us has the services so they can maintain and grow their operations.”

Walsh purchased a GOMACO GP 4 paver from Finkbiner Equipment for the paving.This paver enabled workers to make 37-ft.-wide passes and pave the 150-ft.-wide runways in just four passes. Fewer passes meant fewer joints and fewer places for cracks to develop in the pavement. The new equipment enabled the team often to pour 4,000 cu. yds. in a day.

While Walsh continued working on Runway 5-23L, workers needed to keep access open to the main runway for the air line’s partners. Indianapolis is the national hub for FedEx. The construction phasing ensured that taxiways were always open to facilitate FedEx flights during construction.

Environmentally Friendly

In addition to the extraordinary CO2 cap ture, the airport construction has taken addi tional steps that are environmentally friend ly.

“Our contractors have crushed the old concrete runway on site and used it as a base layer for the new construction,” said McMichael. “Securing sufficient trucking is difficult these days, so we are saving many truckloadsbynothaulinginvirginaggregate for the runway base. We also are using the asphalt millings to reinforce some of our existing service roads.”

Workers have installed LED lighting, which is more energy efficient than the old lighting.

Instead of replacing all the drainage pipe, a unique process called cure in place pipe (CIPP) is being utilized which provides a

new inner liner in the drainage pipe. When the CIPPprocess is completed all pipe joints are eliminated and the design life of the existingdrainagesystemisgreatlyextended. Many times, “green” construction activities have a positive impact on the bottom line of the project. In other instances, the project team sees them as the right thing to do.

“I don’t believe the carbon capture tech nology had been used much in connection with airfields,” said McMichael. “I under stand that it had been used to put CO2 into concrete flooring at warehouses for Amazon, Walmart and other places. We worked with the Tech Center people at the FAA to do a pavement design that used this concept.

“For our project, we were able to take the CO2fromanindustrialsourceandputitinto the concrete,” said McMichael. “Then it is no longer an emission, and it doesn’t affect theconcrete.Itwasawin-win-winforus,for local people and for the environment.”

Finkbiner Equipment Helps Walsh Choose Right Machine

Matt Filipowski, senior project manager of Walsh Construction, oversees the project at Indianapolis Airport. According to the contract, specifications required paving at 37.5 ft. wide.

“The airport contract documents speci fied that we needed to pave at 37.5 feet wide and the GP 4 paver was the only GOMACO paver with that capability,” said Filipowski. “The airport authority want ed to minimize longitudinal construction joints in the runway pavement to maximize the pavement design life and the GP-4 enabled us to meet that 37.5-foot paving width requirement.”

GOMACO’s GP 4 paves up to 40 ft. and is available in two tracks or four tracks. Equipped with G+, the unit interfaces with stringline or 3D machine guidance. It is equipped with a telescoping spreader/plow to spread concrete evenly.

Michael Bailey, senior superintendent of Walsh Construction, contacted Finkbiner Equipment Company, Walsh’s long-time equipment dealer, for help in buying the machine.

“They have been our GOMACO dealer for more than 25 years and are reliable for service calls and parts orders,” said Bailey. “Andy Bazan and his team at Finkbiner have always been available to us after hours and on weekends if the need arises.”

Brad Barkema, district sales manager of GOMACO, worked very closely with

“This collaborative effort was crucial to ensure that we received a machine that would not only work for this project, but exceed expectations,” said Bailey.

The GOMACO GP-4 paver, equipped with the 5400 series pan, weighs in at approximately 200,000 lbs.

“This paving setup enabled us to exceed the FAA P-501 smoothness requirement specification for the 22-inch-thick concrete pavement on the runway,” said Filipowski.

“Our highest production achieved to date was more than 4,700 cubic yards of con crete placed in a single shift. A typical con crete pour on the runway averaged approximately 4,000 cubic yards of con crete. We can use the GP-4 paver on many other paving projects, including highway jobs with dual-lane paving. It is also capa ble of paving three lanes wide.”

Finkbiner assisted Walsh with the initial setup of the paver as well as the calibration of stringless paving system.

“The paver has performed well,” said Bailey. “By having the ability to pave 37.5 inches wide, we were able to reduce the number of longitudinal construction joints, which results in less maintenance and extended lifespan of the concrete pave ment. We’ve had a few small issues with the GP 4 that Andy has gone above and beyond to help resolve.”

Walsh and Finkbiner Equipment to order the right machine for this project.

During the paving operations on Runway 5-23L and taxiway D, Walsh inserted the CO2 captured at an onsite concrete batch plant into the concrete with no apparent effects.

to the company, based in Houston, Texas.

“Perhaps nothing is so important and so often overlooked in machinery maintenance asfluidlevels,”saidIndianapolis,Ind.-based Caterpillar dealer McAllister Machinery. “Analyzing engine oil, fuel, coolant and hydraulic fluid tells an internal tale describ ing the health of your machine.”

These analyses also are indicators of maintenance effectiveness and predictors of potential failures, believes the company.

Why, How of Fluid Analysis

Fluid analysis detects problems early, so they can be repaired before they become major failures, said McAllister.

The process helps in scheduling machine downtime and in developing a complete service history for a machine. It improves the opportunity to get top dollar for used machines when the decision is made to offload older rigs through resale or trade-in.

“For maximum protection, you need oil samplingforallmajoroil-lubricatedsystems and coolant sampling for your cooling sys tems,” advised McAllister. “By pinpointing fluid troubles early, you can avoid shut downs for unplanned repairs and even cata strophic failures.”

Handinhandwithfluidmaintenancegoes monitoring equipment condition. It should be an overall part of a contractor’s preven tive maintenance plan, said the Caterpillar dealer.

Adedicatedprogramofequipmentcondi tion monitoring helps prevent breakdowns and unnecessary repair costs that can rob a company of efficiency and profit.

McAllister’s list of key elements involved in the monitoring process includes advanced fluid diagnostic capabilities that allow the equipment manager to better assess the con dition of a rig.

“Regular care and preventive mainte nance of machines are priorities for heavy equipment,” said McAllister. “That includes routine machinery maintenance you do as the owner as well as outsourced mainte nance with assistance by equipment profes sionals.”

Set Maintenance Schedule

An unexpected breakdown, forcing unscheduled maintenance, can be a huge crimp in a project schedule, especially if the machine plays a major role on the job site.

Poor equipment productivity due to downtime and neglect is a leading contribu tor to increases in unexpected project costs, believes Phillips66 Lubricants.

Approximately 800 to 900 productive hours annually is what a contractor can expectfromapieceofequipment,according

“Based on a 40-hour work week that translates at best to a productivity rate of only 62 percent,” Phillips said. “That means most pieces of heavy equipment have a pro ductivity rate improvement window of near ly 40 percent, which can have a big impact” on the bottom line.

Phillips believes one of the easiest and most impactful ways to improve productivi ty is to adhere to a preventive maintenance schedule for each piece of equipment.

At the same time, a dedicated, fleet-wide preventive maintenance program reduces downtime and increases revenue.

“Preventivemaintenanceoccursonapredetermined schedule, regardless of whether the equipment shows problems operating or not,” according to Phillips. “It allows you to identify and address any defects before they can evolve into more expensive and largescale issues.”

Though maintenance tasks will be dictat ed by an equipment manufacturer’s recom mendations and the vehicle itself, most rigs have engines that require similar checks, including:

ï Engine oil: Use top quality engine oil and other lubricants, advised Phillips66.

“Although engine oil represents just a small fraction of your total maintenance costs, it can have a big impact on your bot tom line.”

Skimping on quality or selecting the wrong type of engine oil can lead to more serious issues, costly repairs, longer down time and lower productivity later on.

“Find the right high-quality oil for your vehicles and keep your equipment running smoothly.”

ï Fluid levels: Check the coolant, trans mission, brake, fuel and other fluid levels, advised the company. Frequent drops in flu ids indicate a leak that must be identified and repaired.

“As with engine oil, make sure you are using correct type of high-quality fluids to prevent costly repairs.”

Among Phillips’ tips for extending the life of heavy equipment is to regularly maintain and service your machines with high-quality lubricants.

“Regularly inspecting and changing the oil and other lubricants is the most impor tant part of preventative maintenance,” said the company.

Because the demands put on a lubricant vary greatly with different components and operating conditions, lubricants have signif icantlydifferentphysicalandchemicalchar acteristics.

That’s another reason consistent use of the correct oil maximizes the life and per

formance of equipment. “Don’t top off with an incorrect oil for convenience,” said Phillips.

But using the right amount of lubricant matters too. Too little can increase the risk of friction and equipment wear, while too much can build up and cause performance issues.

Prevent Equipment Failure

As Phillips sees it, in an ideal world there would never be breakdowns and equipment wouldoperate100percentofthetimeat100 percent capacity.

“But in the real world, equipment failure happens. The business impact can range from minimal and easily fixed to catastroph ic.”

A catastrophic failure happens suddenly and causes a rig to cease operation, not only damaging the machine, but causing collater al damage as well.

Equipment continues to operate during a functional failure, but it cannot function accordingtodesignspecsandlikelyrequires a shutdown to correct the problem.

Understandingthewhybehindequipment failure can prevent an occurrence. It’s your first line of defense against unexpected equipment downtime, said Phillips.

Surface degradation, consisting mainly of corrosion and mechanical wear of machine parts, results in equipment failure in 70 per cent of cases.

Corrosion is particularly problematic in equipment operated in harsh climates or conditions where moisture, dirt or salt can contaminate components.

Water increases the speed at which oil oxidizes, which ultimately leads to the part operating within an acidic environment.

Corrosion of vital industrial parts is among the most common causes of equip ment failure, said Phillips.

Mechanical wear — abrasive or adhesive —happenswhenmachinesurfacesmechan ically rub against each other.

Abrasive wear occurs when particle con taminants, such as dirt or wear debris, cause metal surfaces to become pitted and scored.

Adhesive wear occurs when two surfaces come into direct contact with each other and transfer material from one surface to the other.

To prevent machinery failure caused by surface degradation, keep machinery and internal parts well lubricated and sealed par ticle contaminant ingress, said Phillips.

Thecompanyadvisescontractorstomake sure equipment is well maintained and has parts regularly replaced.

“Also, keep it clean and stored in an appropriate place, and only allow it to be

operated by those trained to do so.”

Proper lubrication — using the correct type and amount of oil, grease and fluids — is integral to avoiding equipment failures and to keeping your business running smoothly.

One of the best ways to prevent corrosion and wear, lubrication also protects against heat and contamination and decreases noise in bearings.

“When equipment is properly and regu larly lubricated, it has the highest chance of maximum service life,” according to Phillips.

Avoid Improper Greasing

Improper lubrication results from lack of procedures, over- or under-greasing, poor labeling, the wrong lubricant, mixing prod ucts and improper handling and storage.

“Without the right technician for the job or the correct procedure, improper lubrica tion may occur,” warned Phillips.

Over-greasing, the company said, leads to higher operating temperatures and aggres sive machine contamination. While highly damaging under-greasing can cause noise, it can go unnoticed in a loud environment.

Correct labelling decreases the risk of cross-contamination and resolves confusion over which lubricants to use.

Applying the wrong lubricant can cause component failures and voids equipment warranty. Mixing products leads to compo nent failures.

“Maintenance personnel need training on the correct ways of handling and installing bearings and using lubricants,” advised Phillips.“Eventhemostminuteparticlescan enterasmalldentandcausecontamination.”

Keyisimplementingandadheringtodoc umented lubrication procedures and making sure every technician is properly trained on them.

In fact, it is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your equip ment is properly lubricated at all times.

Another critical step is integrating a label ing system and determining the output of grease guns while calculating the regrease requirements for bearings.

Doing so will avoid both over-and underlubrication, and is a great place to start the program, said Phillips66.

“Finally, check the owner’s manual to ensure that you are using the OEM-recom mended lubricant for each piece of machin ery.”

TaylorConstructionEquipmentOffering PeninsulaTechnologies’LoadscanLine

Taylor Construction Equipment, a distributor of multiple lines of construction equipment, including Bell Articulated Trucks and the full line of Hyundai Construction Equipment, recently signed a dealer agreement with Peninsula Technologies to sell, service and support the Loadscan product line in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Loadscan invented and patented the original load volume scanning system more than 20 years ago. Since then, it has become the market leader in providing fast and accurate load information. Its advanced volume scanning and measurement systems provide the detailed information necessary to optimize production loading and throughput.

Loadscan provides the technology and equipment to help improve operational and financial performance. Loadscan

satisfies the growing demand for reliable and accurate load measurement across a wide range of job sites and material moving projects.

Loadscan users are confident that when a load is measured, it is accurate to +/- 1 percent.

Robert Taylor, president of Taylor Construction Equipment, said, “We are excited to add Loadscan to our product portfolio and represent Loadscan in our service area. Loadscan’s exceptional product line is an asset to the industries we serve.”

Taylor Sudden Service, its service arm, backs all of Taylor Construction Equipment’s products, which now includes the Loadscan product line.

Ill.Counties,Towns Receive $250M for LocalProjectNeeds

Gov. JB Pritzker and the Illinois Department of Transportation announced that the sixth and final $250 million installment as part of the historic, bipartisan Rebuild Illinois capital program is being made to counties, municipalities and townships to address local transportation needs.

“The landmark, bipartisan Rebuild Illinois infrastructure plan is the largest infrastructure investment in state history,” said Pritzker. “And it’s not just roads and bridges that are being rebuilt. Rebuild Illinois also is expanding upgrading and modernizing broadband, universities and community colleges, airports, river ports, state parks, healthcare institutions, state residential facilities and small business innovation hubs — all while creating and supporting hundreds of thousands of good paying union jobs. At its very core, Rebuild Illinois is an investment in our future — one that leads to economic prosperity and environmental sustainability for our entire state.”

The state’s first capital construction program in more than a decade, Rebuild Illinois is investing a total of $1.5 billion spread out in six installments to advance projects in 2,856 counties, municipalities and townships. Projects include road and bridge improvements, traffic signal upgrades, new storm sewers and bike paths, sidewalk replacements and other long-term maintenance needs, with financial oversight from IDOT.

“Due to the leadership and vision of Gov. Pritzker and the General Assembly, Rebuild Illinois is investing in our local infrastructure like never before,” said Illinois Transportation Secretary Omer Osman. “Projects that once faced an uncertain future are creating good-paying jobs and making their communities better places to live, work and grow a business.”

Funding from the previous $250 million installments to improve local transportation already have supported nearly 3,800 projects across the state. Projects include: $50 million widening and reconstruction of 80th Avenue, between 191st and 183rd streets in Will County; $14 million for improvements to the intersection of Ashland, Lincoln and Belmont avenues in Chicago; $4.5 million to improve Springfield Road, between Townline and TobogganAvenues in Tazewell County; and $2 million for the reconstruction of Country Club Road in Decatur.

The funding via Rebuild Illinois is in addition to the regular contributions to local governments through the state’s motor fuel tax formula, which already accounts for an increase of $1.137 billion since the capital program passed in 2019.

Rebuild Illinois is investing a combined total of $33.2 billion into the state’s aging transportation system, creating jobs and promoting economic growth. The landmark capital program is not only the largest in state history, but also the first one that touches all modes of transportation: roads and bridges, transit, waterways, freight and passenger rail, aviation, and bicycle and pedestrian accommodations.

As part of its current FY2023-28 Proposed Highway Improvement Program, IDOT is investing a total of $24.6 billion to improve roads and bridges. Of that, $5.8 billion is identified for the local transportation system.

Taylor Construction Equipment will sell, service and support the Loadscan product line in Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Mississippi and Tennessee.
