Two KDOT Projects Receive National Awards Two Kansas Department of Transportation construction projects won national awards at the 28th annual American Concrete Pavement conference on Nov. 30 in San Diego, Calif. The South Lawrence Trafficway (SLT) was a gold winner in the Divided Highways (Rural) category. The 6-mi., $183 million SLT project in Douglas County opened to traffic in November 2016. It completed the loop around

Lawrence connecting K-10 and the KTA. The U.S. 56 (Ensign and Montezuma) reconstruction was a gold winner in the State Roads category. The U.S. 56 project in Gray County was a full depth reconstruction, including about 1 mi. of roadway in the cities of Ensign and Montezuma. The work also included storm sewer improvements. The SLT also received a Sustainable Practices Recognition award. The award

highlights the efforts to protect plants and animals in the Baker Wetlands while constructing a long-lasting highway. The ACPA awards program highlights high-quality concrete pavement projects and serves to share information about challenging/successful projects.

HCPA Students to See New Sports Dome, Classrooms in 2018 By Dick Rohland CEG CORRESPONDENT

Progress clearly moved forward in dramatic fashion when crews recently raised a 89,000 sq. ft. air supported sports dome as part of a multi-year expansion program for the Hmong College Prep Academy (HCPA) in St. Paul, Minn. Equally dramatic is the rapid growth and popularity of this state of Minnesota charter school and the aesthetic improvements it is bringing to this mostly unseen city neighborhood. Since 2004, the school has grown from 200 students to 1,600 students and cleaned up a piece of mostly unsightly and under used commercial property. RJM Construction based in Minneapolis, Minn., took on the $27 million contract. The company specializes in construction management, design-build, general contracting and pre-construction services. Project work includes the construction of a two level parking ramp along with street parking for 500 plus cars, a 116,000 sq. ft. addition for an elementary school, a new gymnasium and the conversion of the existing gymnasium to classroom space. When work is done this coming May, there will be room for 2,200 kindergarten through 12th grade students. Ironworkers recently picked the last steel beam for the three-story classroom addition that wraps around two sides of the new gym-

nasium as exterior construction continues. A total of 57 classrooms will be added to the school and will bring some much needed classroom and recreational space to the campus, said Paul Yang, chief operating officer for the school. This is the second time in four years RJM construction crews have been at this school. In 2013, they finished the first addition to the school. Yang is pleased to have RJM crews back.

“I like working with them because they’re on top of their game. They do good work and they do it in a timely manner,” Yang said. “The students are really excited,” Yang said. “They did not have a lot of space to run around in before because we’re kind of landlocked down here. In the past, every time we had an outdoor activity, we had to walk to Como Park, which is blocks away.” The construction of this oneyear project is the fourth and last

phase of the school expansion program to meet increasing capacity demand and the academic and extra-curricular activities of the rapidly growing school population. The first phase renovated the original, 7,250 sq. yd. space to one filled with classrooms. The second and third phases added a parking lot and an addition as the school continued to grow. The HCPA moved to its present location from Minneapolis in 2006. At that time, the existing building space had been vacant

and a bit run down, said Yang. Before it was inhabited by students and staff, it was home to a racquet sports club and even brought a little bit of Hollywood to this location when it served as a studio for the Grumpy Old Men movie. To make room for the dome, which includes an area for track and field events, tennis courts and the parking ramp, the school bought 10 acres of rectangular property across the street from the school.

Cleanup begins at the site of the future parking ramp.

Detroit Breaks Ground on Tower, Symbol of Resurgence By Corey Williams ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT (AP) An 800-ft.-tall centerpiece is coming to Detroit’s resurgent downtown as the city continues to build momentum about three years after exiting the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history. The 58-story building dominating the local skyline will rise on the site of the iconic J.L. Hudson department store, whose 1983 closing epitomized Detroit’s economic downfall. “When we lost Hudson’s it symbolized how far Detroit had fallen,’’ Bedrock Detroit real estate founder Dan Gilbert said during a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new building. “When it was imploded in 1998 it was a very sad day for a lot of people.’’ But the bad times for downtown appear to be largely over. Bedrock Detroit’s $900 million, two-building project will include a 58-story residential tower and 12-floor building for retail and conference space. Up to 450 residential units can be built in the tower. It is one of four projects representing a $2.1 billion investment in downtown by the Detroit-based commercial real estate firm. Altogether, the projects are expected to create up to 24,000 jobs in a city that desperately needs them and generate $673 million in new tax revenue. Mayor Mike Duggan’s office has spearheaded redevelopment programs targeting a number of city neighborhoods, but Detroit’s growth is most evident in greater downtown, where office space now is limited and available apartments are tough to come by. A ribbon-cutting was held in August for an $860 million sports complex just north of downtown. The 20,000-seat Little Caesars Arena is the new home of the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons. It will anchor a 50-block neighborhood of offices, apartments, restaurants and shops. A 6.6-mi.-long light rail system launched earlier this year along Woodward Avenue, downtown’s main business thoroughfare. Software maker Microsoft announced in February that it plans to move its Michigan Microsoft

Technology Center next year from the suburbs to downtown. In 2016, Ally Financial opened new offices downtown that the financial services company said eventually would be occupied by more than 1,500 employees and contractors. “Bedrock building on the Hudson’s site will be an important addition to the community and the vitality and prosperity of downtown,’’ said John Mogk, a Wayne

State University law professor whose work has included policy on economic development issues. “It will act as an important centerpiece for continuing the overall downtown development ... but much more has to be done for the entire city to feel a resurgence.’’ However, much work remains for a city where many residents are still poor. Detroit’s unemployment rate

was about 8 percent in April, yet far below the more than 18 percent unemployment rate during the city’s 2013 bankruptcy filing. The city’s 2016 poverty rate was just over 35 percent — the highest among the nation’s 20 largest cities and more than double the national poverty of 14 percent. A family of four is considered living in poverty if its annual earnings are less than $24,563.

Downtown construction projects such as the work at the Hudson’s site can help change that, some say. “What a shame that anybody should be unemployed in Detroit when we have a need for skilled trades,’’ Gilbert said. “We like to say Detroit is located at the intersection of muscle and brains. We need brains to sort this all out ... somebody still has to build stuff. We still need muscle.’’ While Bedrock’s new building would be Detroit’s tallest, rising above the 727-ft. Renaissance Center along the city’s riverfront, it still would be far shorter than some other U.S. towers. One World Trade Center in New York measures 1,776 ft. Chicago’s Willis Tower hits 1,451 ft., while the Empire State Building in New York climbs to 1,250 ft. Although the 25-story Hudson’s building was once the nation’s tallest department store, it measured only about 400 ft. It was far more famous for what was inside. When Detroit was humming along and leading the nation in car production, the store was where auto executives and assembly line workers shopped. From household goods to clothing and furs and many things in between, it was a primary downtown destination. There were 50 display windows, 12,000 employees and 100,000 customers per day. But as shopping tastes shifted to expansive suburban malls and Detroit’s population tumbled by more than 600,000 people between the 1950s and 1980, Hudson’s lost its luster. “Building something of significant magnitude on the old site will provide a good deal of good feelings by older generations,’’ Mogk said. Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson called it a “huge magnet for people like me who grew up in Detroit.” He and his brother would ride a city bus downtown and play tag on the Hudson’s escalators. “I think the fact they are putting up this glorious glass building, I think it’s a fitting succession,’’ Patterson said.

Gas Line Explosion Raises Concerns About Mich. Pipes ORION TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) Environmental advocates said Michigan’s aging gas pipelines have a heightened risk of corrosion or other material failure that could cause a fire or explosion. The concerns follow a November gas explosion in Orion Township, about 30 mi. north of Detroit, The Detroit News reported. The fire burned for about two hours and left a 20ft.-deep crater near the pipeline. The pipeline involved in the blast is 65 years old. A sudden loss of pressure was recorded along the line shortly before the explosion, utility officials said. Consumers Energy is waiting for test results to determine what caused the blast.

Mark Empting (L), fire chief of the Dilworth Area Fire Department, and Troy Kind, RDO Equipment general manager, display the new radios the fire department was able to purchase with the help of the Community Builder grant.

RDO Equipment Co. Grants $500,000 to Local Volunteer Fire Departments RDO Equipment Co. awarded 41 grants and a total of more than $500,000 to 41 volunteer fire departments across the company footprint through a special initiative of its Community Builder program. The Community Builder program is a unique initiative supported by the Offutt Family Foundation and open to employees of R.D. Offutt Company, parent company of RDO Equipment Co. and R.D. Offutt Farms. The program awards grants to charities in which team members are actively engaged, with the goal of making a significant impact on the community. All RDO Equipment Co. team members who are active volunteer firefighters were invited to apply for a Community Builder grant. As part of the application, the employee explained how the grant will benefit the local community along with information about his/her personal commitment to the fire department. Chris Conrad, customer service advisor in Burnsville, Minn., submitted a Community Builder application on behalf of the Zumbro Falls Fire Department, requesting extraction and water rescue equipment. “This is going to save lives,” Conrad said, upon learning his department received the grant. Troy Kind, general manager in Moorhead, Minn., requested new radios for the Dilworth Area Fire Department. Dilworth Fire Chief Mark Empting was grateful for the support and said, “This is great for the Dilworth Fire Department but also for the citizens of Dilworth.” Community Builder applications are submitted yearround and awarded twice a year. Because of the number of team members who donate time to their local volunteer fire department, this fall’s round of submissions was specially designated for rural and volunteer fire departments.

“The response we received was overwhelming and speaks to the great needs our communities have in providing resources to volunteer fire departments,” said Jean Zimmerman, excutive vice president of RDO Equipment Co. “Supporting our communities is important to the Offutt Family Foundation and these grants will greatly impact, not just the volunteer fire departments, but the citizens who rely on this crucial community service.” In addition to RDO Equipment Co.’s efforts to recognize and award impactful grants to volunteer fire departments, U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp, D-ND, is pleased to support the initiative. “Volunteer firefighters respond to complex emergencies at a moment’s notice, and they do so without any expectation of reward,” Heitkamp said. “Too often, these dedicated first responders find they are combatting fires with equipment that has far outlived its expiration date. That’s why I want to thank RDO Equipment Co. for recognizing the hard work of first responders and making sure volunteer fire departments have the proper tools to keep towns, businesses, and farms safe. I’m proud to support the Community Builder program, because continued investment in our rural volunteer first responders is a reliable investment in the safety and strength of our nation’s rural communities.” A longtime advocate for rural and volunteer fire departments, Heitkamp introduced her RESPONSE Act, which became law in December 2016. The RESPONSE Act will help get first responders the tools and resources they need to handle hazardous incidents.

“We will obviously replace the affected section of the pipeline, but we do plan to place this line back into service once construction is complete.’’ Debra Dodd Consumers Energy

“We will obviously replace the affected section of the pipeline, but we do plan to place this line back into service once construction is complete,’’ said Debra Dodd, a Consumers Energy spokeswoman. “We have no plans to decommission this line.’’ Federal records show that the explosion comes after more than 20 other incidents over the past decade involving the utility’s pipelines in Michigan. Data the utility reported show the incidents caused more than $10 million in property damage, though none resulted in injuries or deaths. A report from Pipeline Safety Trust, a nonprofit that monitors pipe problems nationally, suggests that at least five of the incidents since 2016 were caused by factors within the utility’s control, such as incorrect operation, corrosion and material and equipment failures. “You have pipes 65, 75 years or older that must be replaced,’’ said James Clift, policy director of the Lansingbased Michigan Environmental Council. “We have seen an uptick in corrosion being listed at fault.’’ The company’s parent firm, CMS Energy, is investing $378 million to test pipeline integrity, replace old sections and expand its gas line network in the state, Dodd said. The company has 2,500 mi. of large gas transmission pipes and 28,000 miles of smaller lines that serve 1.8 million homes and businesses in the state.

Manitowoc MLC300 Completes Ohio Mo. University Wind Project Ahead of Schedule to See Engineering Center in 2020

One North American construction company that works in the renewable energy sector discovered the time-saving and logistical benefits of using a Manitowoc MLC300 with fixed-position counterweight (FPC) to construct wind towers. White Construction is the first customer to use the crane, which features the same load charts and compact footprint as the original MLC300, but utilizes a fixed-position counterweight instead of a variable position counterweight (VPC). The Clinton, Ind.-based construction firm used the 330-ton crane to build 30 wind towers for the Hog Creek Wind Project in Ada, Ohio, which will soon provide 66 mW of electricity to the surrounding area. Not only did the new crawler crane complete the project’s lifts with precision on hilly, uneven terrain, it helped the contracting team to finish three weeks ahead of schedule. “We chose the MLC300 FPC because of its extra capacity compared with competing lattice boom crawler cranes,” said Jason Ruggles, director of crane operations of White Construction. “Combined with its smaller footprint, the crane enabled us to easily maneuver around the hilly terrain of the wind farm and complete each lift.” White Construction’s MLC300 FPC was set up with an optional 11.5 ft.wide boom kit. Operators used the crane to install the bases and midsections of each tower before bringing a larger crawler crane in to install turbine assemblies. The bases weighed roughly 47 tons and were lifted to a height of 52 ft., while the midsections weighed some 52 tons and were lifted to a height of 75 ft. Construction of the Hog Creek Wind Project began in August of 2017 and finished three weeks ahead of schedule in early November, due to the MLC300 FPC’s time-saving maneuverability and industry-leading capacity from a compact footprint. “There’s no room for error in the wind industry,” Ruggles said. “If you have downtime with your equipment, the work doesn’t stop. It just piles up behind you. At Hog’s Creek, we had to build 30 wind towers in a very short span of time, so using a brand-new machine was a bit daunting. But I’m happy to say that we couldn’t have picked a better crane for this job.” The MLC300 FPC was introduced

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Officials with the University of Missouri-Kansas City said students will soon have access to state-of-the-art 3-D technology, analytics labs and other innovations provided by a $32 million education and research center on the university’s Volker campus. The Kansas City Star reported that UMKC will start construction on the expansion of the School of Computing and Engineering by late summer 2018. The new building would house virtual reality equipment, 3-D printing, data, and high-bay structural labs, a clean room and an electron microscope. Construction is expected to conclude before the fall 2020 semester. The project was approved by the University of Missouri Board of Curators in December and will be funded by university foundation dollars as well as private donations.

to give customers the benefits of the 330 ton-size platform and compact footprint of the original MLC300, but without the additional investment in features and moving parts that come with VPC. For the fixed-position counterweight configuration, the VPC trolley and tray have been replaced by a two-position, stationary counterweight tray. “The idea of the MLC300 FPC is to offer customers a more traditional lattice boom crawler crane for applications that don’t require the VPC,” said Harley Smith, global product director of crawler cranes of Manitowoc. “If desired, the customer has the option to install the VPC in the future for added versatility and higher performance.” White Construction purchased the MLC300 FPC from Walter Payton Power Equipment, a Riverdale, Ill.based provider of Manitowoc, National Crane and Grove machines. “White Construction has had a long, great relationship with Manitowoc

Cranes,” Ruggles said. “A big part of sustaining that relationship is the excellent service we’ve gotten from Walter Payton over the years.” Since its founding more than 60 years ago, White Construction has transformed from a small trucking and excavating company into a recognized leader in the construction industry, committed to building infrastructure and energy projects across North America. The Clinton, Ind.-based company joined forces with Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives (IEA) in 2011, establishing itself as a leader in the renewable energy space. “When the new MLC300 came out at ConExpo, our eyes lit up,” Ruggles said. “My crew and I knew that Manitowoc had delivered a crane that would perform especially well for the wind industry.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

State Attorneys Favor Walling Off Great Lakes TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) Attorneys general from three states said a $275 million federal plan for keeping Asian carp from migrating into the Great Lakes is too pricey and rejects the most effective solution. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is recommending technologies such as electric barriers and water cannons at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam near Joliet, Illinois, which stands between the carp-infested Illinois River and Lake Michigan. Attorneys general Bill Schuette of Michigan, Lori Swanson of Minnesota and Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania said a better way is replacing the lock gates with a concrete wall that would divide the Great Lakes and Mississippi River watersheds. That would cost only about $5.9 million. They said the Corps plan favors the needs of shipping companies over those of the Great Lakes fishing industry.

STOPS FUEL GELLING NEW: The Universal Filter Preheater is designed for diesel fuel filter housings, for lube oil and hydraulic filters too (specify hyd. size). It wraps around the filter housing and reduces or eliminates the possibility of cold weather fuel gelling stopping the engine. It is easily removable and transferable and is wired for your choice of: direct current or alternating current or a convertible model combining dc and ac. A standard 12V or 24V Universal Fuel Filter Preheater is priced at $138. The ‘peel & stick’ Universal Preheater attaches to the bottom or the side of the oil pan and converts the housing into a heat transfer element. It warms the oil without burning it making cold starts easy. It can be used on gearboxes, transmissions, transfer cases, water tanks and even bulk oil tanks. The Preheater plugs into any 120 or 240 volt outlet and consists of a thin silicone fiberglass pad containing a metal grid. To install it, you clean an area on the bottom or side of the oil pan and press the pad onto it, then use silicone to seal the edges of the pad and place a flexible ceramic insulation pad over it. It is available in several models depending on the lube capacity. A 50 watt unit sells for $44 and a 350 watt unit sells for $133. BULK FUEL STORAGE FILTER HEATER The newest Diesel Fuel Filter Preheater fits 3.5" to 4" diameter by 7" to 10" tall filters. Stops diesel gelling in the filter so that fueling equipment can proceed even in the coldest temperatures. 120v with thermostat. $225.

RJM Construction Works to Complete $27M Contract

Concrete that was removed from the existing buildings that were demolished was recycled back into the project. HCPA from page 12

In recent years, it was home to a school bus depot and diesel engine repair shop; adding a bit of incongruity to this out-of-the-way St. Paul neighborhood inhabited by two schools and large housing units. Working in reverse, the school began as a high school then began adding elementary grades to the program. Discipline and academics are key dynamics of the educational program. “We foster students and let them know they have a purpose and a part in this great nation,” Yang said. “We tell them you’re here for a purpose; to get a good education and become productive citizens of this country.” Though the student population is primarily Hmong, Yang emphasized the school follows the same curriculum as the public schools and accepts students of all ethnic backgrounds. The Yeadon Company, based in Minneapolis, Minn., manufactured the dome. The new gymnasium is made up of pre-cast concrete walls supplied by Wells Concrete, based in Albany, Minn. Steel for the addition was supplied by National Steel, St. Paul, Minn.; Central Minnesota Fabricators, Willmar, Minn.; and Briese Iron Works, Rochester, Minn. Belair Site Works, with an office in New Brighton, Minn., was the demolition and earth work contractor. The new gymnasium and classroom building, the dome and part of the parking ramp are anchored

on nearly 800 helical piers supplied by Veit Construction, Minneapolis, Minn., and Atlas Foundations, Maple Grove, Minn. Engineers relied on helical piers because of poor soil conditions throughout the construction site. At depths up to 80 ft., 234 helical piers support the dome and partially the parking ramp. The entire school addition is anchored by 450 helical piers. Wells Concrete crews rolled in a Manitowoc 999 crane to hoist the double T spans, some weighing as much as 67,800 lbs. and the precast concrete panels to build the parking ramp. Across the street, they stationed a Kobelco 200-ton crawler crane for the addition construction. Lull JLG lifts surrounded the renovation of the old gymnasium and construction of the new one. More than a dozen pieces of earth moving equipment roamed the site for demolition and excavation operations. They included Cat and Volvo excavators, dozers, skid steers and a Dynapac roller. To make room for the new gymnasium, Belair crews trucked in a Wirtgen 300S WR250 milling machine to strip the asphalt parking lot and recycle the material back into the project. Other quantities include 1,170 tons of steel for the school addition, 3,840 cu. yds. of concrete and 137 tons of rebar. Belair crews dug and moved 77,750 cu yd (59,500 cu m) of soil. During construction, crews faced tight deadlines. The conversion of the old gymnasium to classrooms had a 60-day deadline and

the two story parking ramp had to be completed by the opening day of the Minnesota State Fair. Seigley juggled the schedules of dozens of sub-contractors, including three different steel suppliers and two erector companies. The school campus sits near the main entrance to the Minnesota State Fair which draws nearly 200,000 visitors daily for 12 days to the neighborhoods around the fairgrounds. Tucked below a hill side of a residential neighborhood near the fairgrounds, it is hemmed in on the north side at the base of the hill, by Snelling Avenue, a high volume four lane city arterial on the west side and busy railroad tracks to the south. The east side of the school property borders high density housing of several large apartment buildings. Work began in May with the demolition of existing buildings and excavation operations at the site of the future sports dome and parking ramp. Similar to the underground discoveries made during the third phase of the school expansion program, the most recent excavation operations point to an early to mid20th century past of this part of the city being home to auto repair shops and fueling stations. Pre-construction bore samplings showed the underground soil laced with petroleum based contaminates. When excavation began, excavator operators uncovered a graveyard of industrial artifacts and car frames, said Mike Seigley, RJM Construction superintendent. Below the old parking lot at the

site of the new gymnasium, crews removed an underground foundation and a couple of fuel tanks. Demolition crews hit a slowdown, Siegley said, when they discovered asbestos roof paint on the the roofs of the buildings coming down. “This alone was a three to four week delay,” Seigley said. For the remediation work, “the ground has to be covered, then the screws have to be removed and then the metal ceiling sheets are broken loose and contained in lined containers. It’s a process.” The gymnasium renovation included the removal of the old gym floor, replacement of a roof truss with steel beams, new windows and interior finishes. “Existing structures are not always friendly in construction. We had to cut through reinforced steel and concrete block to get the new windows in,” Seigley said. “It was a tight schedule, but we finished it on time.” As demolition and construction stretched into the beginning of the 2017 summer break, crews took over the parking lot used for school bus staging and began digging into the soil there to build the new gymnasium and classroom addition. Because the base of the addition sits at the bottom of the slope coming down from the north side of the construction site and tapers down from 20 ft. to 8 ft., a retaining wall was required. “It was a little tricky installing that wall. We had to extend it to the street above to accommodate the grade,” Seigley said. Work to raise the dome in early

November was a labor intensive project. “It took roughly 50 people working double shifts over the course of two days to get it inflated. Once the fabric is laid down and in place, workers tuck the bottom edge into a channel ring circling around the base of the dome. Then the exterior cables are tied across the fabric before it can be inflated,” Seigley said. As work heads into the new year and the cold winter months, all of the heavy, exterior work is nearly completed while crews move into the interior phase of the building addition. Crews recently started pouring the floors and installing the exterior skin shooting, “to get the building enclosed by mid-January,” Seigley said. The peak work force of 100 people is now dwindling and most of the heavy construction has been completed. Ironworkers are finishing the detail work on the steel skeleton for the addition as the siding begins to be installed. All of the remaining construction including the interior plumbing, electrical and finishing work will be completed in May 2018. When students return from the 2018 summer vacation break, they will return to a larger, more spacious school with up to the date outdoor and indoor recreational facilities.

Contractor Chooses SDLG Loaders for Snow Removal Boon & Sons has been offering snow removal services to residents in upstate New York for more than 20 years. Located mere mi. from the city of Rochester, where average snowfalls approach 100 in. per year on a regular basis, the company is more than familiar with tough winters and the equipment needed to deal with their effects. The North Chili, N.Y.-based company has made a name for itself by handling some of the most daunting snow removal sites in the region, including the 1,400-acre campus of the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Because of the seasonal nature of snow removal, Boon & Sons knew it didn’t need premium wheel loaders that would sit idle for most of the year, especially since the electronics found on higher-end loaders leaves them vulnerable to salt damage. With these factors in mind, the company decided to add four SDLG loaders to its fleet in October of 2016: two L938Fs and two L948Fs. “We had good luck with our SDLG loaders through the winter of 2017,” said Daniel Boon, president of Boon & Sons. “We service a 30-mile radius around the Greater Rochester area, plowing Class A office parks, a few shopping malls and the campus of RIT, which is one of our largest customers. When the snow starts falling, we work around the clock until it stops so we can clear it — it’s tough work, and these SDLG loaders hold up to the task.” Boon also cited the value proposition of SDLG as a reason for making his decision. “Value was a major factor in choosing SDLG,” he said. “We saved nearly 30 percent on what we would have spent on a competitor’s wheel loaders. And SDLG’s

lease-to-buy agreement was very competitive as well. When you combine that with the low cost of maintenance for these machines, the money we saved is considerable.” The 2.5 cu. yd. (1.9 cu m) capacity L938F has an operating weight of 27,560 lbs. (12,501 kg). The L948F has a 3.0 cu. yd. (2.3 cu m) capacity and an operating weight of 32,010 lbs. (14,519 kg). Both feature a Tier IV Final Deutz engine with 171 hp and 627 lb.ft of torque; ZF powershift transmission; air-cooled, dry-disc brakes; a hydraulic quick coupler and thirdfunction hydraulics; a modern fit and finish with high visibility; and

an operator-friendly cab. They both come with a 12-month, 2,000hour warranty, which many owners consider when choosing to buy an SDLG over a premium, auction machine. “In this business, if you get machines that are too heavy, you run the risk of breaking pavement,” Boon said. “So the operating weight of our SDLG fleet is ideal for the snow removal work that most often happens on roadways and parking lots. The cabs on these machines are great, too. When nor’easters hit and we have to run the loaders for two or three days straight, comfort makes a difference.”

Boon & Sons has been so impressed with its SDLG loaders that the company is considering the purchase of an L918F, a new compact loader that launched at ConExpo 2017. The company will again work with SDLG dealer Vantage Equipment, which has provided Boon & Sons with its entire SDLG fleet. “We’ve been pleased with Vantage,” Boon said. “The service has been very good. We ordered our first two loaders and they arrived within a week. We decided after the fact that we needed more, and the two additional loaders arrived shortly after that. Vantage did a great job of getting them to

us.” Vantage Equipment was founded in 2005. The company operates from three New York locations, including Batavia, Albany and its headquarters in Syracuse. Boon & Sons was founded in 1991 to provide landscaping and snow removal services to the Greater Rochester area. The company has since added trash collection to its range of services and now serves Western New York with a fleet of biodiesel trucks.

The QuattroPlow has four functions — snowpushing, straight plowing with wings, angle plowing with wings and backdragging. A simple adjustment adds a fifth function, wide-angle plowing.

General Financial formed a strategic alliance with SnowWolf to provide a competitive edge for their product lines, including the newly introduced QuattroPlow snow removal attachment. Taylor Moseley, director of national accounts, general financial, said, “Our goals align in that both companies want to streamline processes to increase customer experience, and offering more options and convenience to the snow industry.” The equipment attachments market is very competitive, posing unique considerations. With the seasonality of snow removal, business owners and contractors must accurately time equipment purchases. Contracts, successful relationships, and, indeed, economic survival depend on it. General Financial recognizes that SnowWolf’s QuattroPlow consolidates four separate attachments into a single attachment. With four times the plow and General Financial, SnowWolf dealers and their customers now have four times the financing power. SnowWolf dealers will have more options than ever before to plan for the increasing national demand for the QuattroPlow. As dealers and contractors prepare for the impending winter season, access to SnowWolf’s custom online application is

now available. Mark Holman, Co-CEO, WolfDesign, said, “We’re excited to announce our first ever end-user financing program. This will allow contractors to experience the major productivity increases of a QuattroPlow, with no money down and no payments until well into the winter season and fixed monthly payments after that. We believe our financing program will further solidify our positon as the leading manufacturer of hydraulic wing plows in the United States by making the QuattroPlow even more accessible to contractors.” Applications can be completed by both SnowWolf dealers and buyers. Buyers have the option to select the financial solution that fits their business. Options include no payments for up to 120 days after purchase, 90 days with no money down, and the most popular option for this product, a Pre-Paid Purchase Option with 10 percent down and extended terms up to 48 months (with approved credit).

Second Oldest Stadium…

Built on Holy Ground: Looking Back at the Construction of Wrigley Field Joe Trinacria CEG CORRESPONDENT

$6.1 million in 2017 dollars) on the stadium, Weeghman far exceeded his budgetary guidelines in creating this modern marvel with an initial seating capacity of 14,000. Many of the seminary buildings remained intact during the Whales’ first season in their new park, which posed a problem early on when Weeghman determined that it was too easy to hit a home run. The left field wall was pushed back 25 ft., but in order to do so the team needed to remove the front porch from one neighboring structure first. The squad on the field was competitive, but the Federal League was hemorrhaging money. After folding in 1915, Weeghman bought the MLB’s Chicago Cubs and merged them with his

Although it later became widely known for housing one of the most endearingly unblessed franchises in professional sports, Wrigley Field’s roots were planted on the site of a former seminary, of all places. Despite laying down bricks on the same land once walked by members of the clergy, divine intervention was uncommon on Chicago’s North Side as the Cubs went 108 years between World Series titles before finally exorcising their championship demons in 2016. At the turn of the 20th century, the neighborhood now known as “Wrigleyville” was primarily called Lake View and on the corner of Clark and Addison streets stood the Chicago Lutheran Seminary, until the property was sold to an investor group in 1909. In the years before baseball, the old seminary was converted into residences but soon attracted interest from a minor league looking to build a new Windy City ballpark. The infancies of our four major professional sports leagues saw them all battle and eventually overcome more small-time competing entities, with the Federal League being an early challenger of Major League Baseball.

SC&RA Lauds Wisconsin Bill Project to Save Transportation Sector Millions The Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association applauded the Wisconsin Senate for passing Senate Bill 186 Milwaukee County High-Wide Route into law, Nov. 30, which is a first-of-its-kind win for the specialized transportation sector. Introduced by Wisconsin State Sens. David Craig, Van H. Wanggaard, Tim Carpenter, Chris Larson, Lena Taylor and Rep. Joe Sanfelippo, the bill states that, in general, no person may install any structure along the route within the area necessary for the passage of a high-wide load without the authorization of the city of Milwaukee. Also, no person may take any action that would make any portion of the route permanently unavailable for use by a high-wide load, which is defined as a motor vehicle that exceeds general state limitations on motor vehicle size, is transporting property, and is not more than 28 ft. wide or 23 ft. tall. Longtime SC&RA Permit Policy Committee member Wayne P. Kokta, transportation manager of Dawes Rigging & Crane Rental /DST Inc., along with John Vitas of AC Equipment Services, were instrumental in moving the legislation forward over the course of the past two years. “Prior to the passing of this bill,” Kokta said, “there was no way to stop an entity from placing impediments along the route. With the addition of new cable and fiber-optics lines, round-a-bouts, pedestrian- friendly street crossings, bike lanes and other obstacles, routing was becoming impossible.

Thousands of dollars would need to be spent by the carrier to remove or alter the obstacles, and then restore them. This legislation, in effect, protects the route, makes everyone aware that it exists and forces them to plan around it.” Steven Todd, SC&RA vice president who participated in the Wisconsin Department of Transportation’s OSOW corridor management and preservation working group with Kokta, sees the new bill as a groundbreaking development worthy of replication. “This is significant in the sense that no other similar corridor guarantees dimension thresholds at this level,” he said. “We intend to use our win in Wisconsin as an example for other states to follow, and we are especially appreciative of Wisconsin Department of Transportation officials Aaron Michelson and Dan Mulder, and Jason Culotta with Progressive Rail Inc. for their leadership on this issue,” Todd said. The route is open to all carriers, nationwide, and is well known by the city and county permit officials. It begins at the northernmost intersection of South 70th Street and West Washington Street in the city of West Allis and ends at the northern terminus of South Car Ferry Drive.

Elon Musk announced Nov. 28 that The Boring Company will bid for a contract to build and operate a highspeed Loop connecting downtown Chicago to O’Hare Airport, Fortune reported. Musk’s announcement via Twitter came just as Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel requested proposals for an O’Hare Express. The winning bidder would design, develop, operate, finance and maintain the system via a public-private partnership with the city, Fortune reported. According to the mayor’s office, no taxpayer dollars will be allocated for the project. “Although cost estimates for the project are not yet known, the RFQ [Request for Qualifications] stipulates that the O’Hare Express Service will be funded solely by project-specific

Western Nebraska to See Ohio Company Solar-Powered Greenhouse Expands Custom Product Offerings

SCOTTSBLUFF, Neb. (AP) A western Nebraska natural resources district is raising funds for a solar-powered, geothermal-heated greenhouse to grow oranges, lemons and other tropical fruit. The North Platte Natural Resources District’s greenhouse project would include an outdoor learning facility to promote the district’s research and education goals, the Scottsbluff Star Herald reported. Solar panels on the greenhouse would provide the $500 worth of electricity needed to maintain the temperature at 54 degrees. The greenhouse would measure 126 by 17 ft. and stand 14 ft. high. It’s expected to have room for up to 21 trees. “I don’t plan to plant that many — maybe 15,’’ said Barb Cross, the district’s assistant manager who is overseeing the project. More than 20 local donors have contributed to help match a grant from the Nebraska Environmental Trust. The project is expected to cost about $75,000. “This is all through donations. We are not

using tax dollars for this project,’’ Cross said. “The support from the community has been huge.’’ Construction would begin in the spring, pending expected approval of the grant. The facility would be open to the public. Food grown in the greenhouse would be donated to the West Nebraska Veterans Home and regional programs such as Community Action Partnership of Western Nebraska, food pantries and school backpack programs. Berge Sauter has volunteered at a garden center and community greenhouse in Gering. The greenhouse could begin producing food as early as next fall, she said. “We hope to have root vegetables to start distribution, and there will be a small outside garden, too,’’ Sauter said. “We’re going to fill that thing. I’m so excited to work in there and see what we can do.’’ (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Case Launches 74-Hp TV370 CTL, Ideal for Landscaping, Utility Applications

www.aisequip.com Bridgeport, MI 989/777-0090 Grand Rapids, MI 616/538-2400 Lenox, MI 586/727-7502 New Hudson, MI 248/437-8121 Williamsburg, MI 231/267-5060

www.westsidetractorsales.com Naperville, IL 630/355-7150 Rockdale, IL 815/730-9011 Rockford, IL 815/961-3160 South Holland, IL 708/331-6362 Wauconda, IL 847/526-7700 Bloomington, IN 812/333-9677 Fort Wayne, IN 260/482-8576 Indianapolis, IN 317/544-3411 Lafayette, IN 765/447-6933 South Bend, IN 574/232-1461

The TV370 is ideally suited for landscaping, utility, agricultural and rental applications where operators value lift capacity and strength, but may not require higher horsepower to run high-volume production attachments.

Case Construction Equipment’s TV370 compact track loader (CTL), a new 74-hp machine that combines a maintenance-free Tier IV Final solution with the strength and reach of a large-frame CTL, provides a 3,700-lb. (1,678 kg) rated operating capacity and a vertical-lift design that makes it ideal for loading trucks and lifting and placing heavier palletized materials. “As the CTL market expands, there are no one-size-fits-all solutions,” said John Dotto, brand marketing manager, Case. “The new TV370 gives contractors a 74-horsepower option in a large-frame vertical CTL that provides a high capacity, low ground pressure and stable platform for earthmoving, load and lift applications, and heavy attachments while utilizing a maintenance-free after-treatment system. The TV370 is ideally suited for landscaping, utility, agricultural and rental applications where operators value lift capacity and strength, but may not require higher horsepower to run high-volume production attachments. The machine provides enhanced auxiliary hydraulics for traditional attachment use in standard (24.2 gallons per minute [gpm] at 100 percent efficiency) and optional high-flow (37.6 gpm at 100 percent efficiency) hydraulic setups. “Not every equipment owner needs to run cold planers or high-volume mulching heads, but they still need to load higher trucks and lift heavy pallets,” said Dotto. “The TV370

is for that application.” Additional performance/operating highlights include an 8,776-lb. bucket breakout force, and a 10-ft. 11-in. (3.3 m) hinge pin height. At 6-ft. 4-in. (1.9 m) wide over the tracks, and on standard 17.7 in. (45 cm) wide tracks, the TV370 provides stability and the low standard ground pressure for operating on varied terrain and sensitive ground. The TV370 offers a wide cab and low entry threshold for easy access and greater visibility down to the bucket/attachment. The cab-forward design combines with ultra-narrow wire side screens to provide 360-degree visibility and excellent site lines down to the bucket edge/curb lines. A large, rounded rear window delivers excellent rear visibility. Standard heavy-duty front and side lights further improve visibility. The new CTL meets Tier IV Final emissions standards through a DOC-only FPT engine that requires no additional fluids or intensive maintenance activities. Operators can easily access the engine, filters, fill points, and all other primary service points through a single point of access. It also offers an easy-tilt cab for convenient access to the drivetrain compartment. For more information, visit CaseCE.com.

Why Versatile Mini-Skid Steers Belong on Job Sites

One of the most popular mini-skid steer attachments, according to RDO Vermeer and Vermeer Australia, is the auger.

Mini-skid steers are designed to navigate even the most challenging lawn and landscape terrains.

ets and augers to those designed for more specific applications, like concrete work for hardscapes. This offers options and greater opportunity for squeezing every ounce of productivity out of the machine. 2. Branching Out The breadth of capabilities offered by mini-skid steers is appealing to anyone trying to do more with fewer resources. In addi-

SPECIAL TO CEG

isn’t a trait of the machine itself but rather its versatility. Due to a variety of attachments with which it can be paired, this small and mighty machine can go from material mover to snow blower to fencepost digger with the simple swap of an attachment. While each manufacturer varies in offerings, most mini-skid steers are available with dozens of attachments, from standard buck-

tion to productivity, the mini-skid steer’s versatility also opens up opportunity for companies looking to diversify. By changing out an attachment, a small landscape company is now in position to offer snow blowing services to clients. Not only does an auger attachment offer a solution for a large contractor doing tree and shrub planting jobs, it also lends itself to precise, productive hole digging needed for fencing projects. Rather than rent additional machines designed to do specific tasks, the mini-skid steer puts companies in the position to offer more with a single machine. 3. Time Management Whether a deadline is quickly approaching or days are just long and jampacked, daily preventative maintenance is often the first thing an equipment operator or owner neglects when things get busy. The mini-skid steer isn’t a machine that demands a ton of attention to preventative maintenance. Even the areas that require more frequent care are designed Vermeer Australia photo for longevity, as well as

From large companies to small, whether general landscape work or a unique hardscape project, it’s imperative to have equipment that’s productive, versatile and reliable. Enter the mini-skid steer. The mini-skid steer has been around for quite some time, with widespread adoption going back to the mid-90s. While not a new machine, mini-skid steers have grown in popularity for several reasons. They’re easy to operate and capable of tackling numerous tasks. Not only that, they pack a powerful punch in a small machine. Compared to traditional skid steers that weigh an average of 6,000 lbs., a mini weighs about 1/3 less, yet boasts similar lift capacity and breakout force. Whether you’re in Anaheim, Australia, or somewhere in between, here are five key reasons why this powerhouse machine belongs in your fleet. 1. Application, Meet Attachment Perhaps the greatest value With the ability to be paired with numerous attachments, the mini-skid steer brings big value to all users, offered by a mini-skid steer from large landscape companies to DIYers.

Mini Skid Steers Provide Enormous Value on Any Work Site VALUE from page 52

convenience for quick work. Not only does this make the mini-skid steer an ideal machine for busy contractors, it’s also a great option for DIYers to rent or own. Due to their compact designs, grease points are easy to access, while key areas like the loader arms and hydraulic hoses are visible for quick daily inspection. Most attachments require a simple walk-around inspection and greasing, then they are ready to go to work. Even the biggest perceived area of concern for track-driven models — the tracks themselves — are being fine-tuned in new model design to make them more durable and capable of navigating challenging job sites. The tracks on Vermeer’s newer miniskid steers, for example, have been specially-designed to be less prone to damage, tearing, and slipping off the machine, according to the manufacturer. 4. Fitting In Especially for residential contractors and those working on smaller job sites, accessibility to the work area often means navigating equipment and tools through small gates

and around obstacles. Mini-skid steers are designed to fit through narrow gate openings, with some of the smallest models measuring just 3 ft. wide. Mini-skid steers also do well maneuvering around buildings, landscapes and hardscapes, other equipment, and general obstacles on sites on small, tight sites. Then there’s the issue of transportability. Not only is getting equipment on the job site often a challenge, but getting to and from the site can be a logistical nightmare. Due to their compact design and lighter weight compared to traditional skid steers, miniskid steers are a great option for customers who frequently transport machines from one site to the next, and those who don’t have the means to transport larger machines. 5. Operator Oriented The final factor in equipment choice is one of the most important considerations that goes through any operator’s mind: Am I going to be able to run this machine? For a business owner, that question expands to numerous employees who will need to be able to operate the equipment onsite. Mini-skid steers feature simple, intuitive

controls and numerous safety features, making them ideal for operators of every skill level. This also is beneficial for homeowners, as it’s a less intimidating machine to learn and properly operate. Remember all those attachments mentioned earlier? The thought of switching out attachments is one of the most daunting, and especially concerning for newer operators. Because they’re meant to be used with so many attachments, mini-skid steers also are designed to make the change-out of those attachments quick and easy, most requiring just a few minutes. Operator fatigue also is a concern of many owners and the operators themselves, especially when it comes to repetitive tasks that require precision. Consider a fencing project, drilling dozens or more holes. Doing this work with a manual auger would be tiring and tedious, not to mention difficult to achieve the level of accuracy needed for a consistent, quality job. Doing this work with an auger attachment on a mini-skid steer saves time and results in the precision accuracy desired. Finally, but most important of all, safety.

In addition to eliminating accidents caused by operator fatigue, mini-skid steers feature a design to keep operators safe. One key safety feature offered on some stand-on units, like Vermeer’s, is the automatic shutoff. An operator must be standing on the platform in order to start and run the miniskid steer. In the event the operator falls off, the machine automatically shuts off, preventing potential damage to the site or equipment, or worse, a tragic accident. The operator platform also gives a more complete view of the jobsite area, and the ability to see nearby obstacles, equipment, and, especially, other people. Across the globe, mini-skid steers are proving their worth on the job site. Whether you’re a large landscape company or have a hardscape project at home, give the miniskid steer a look.

Hyundai Introduces Latest in HX Series: HX130LCR Compact-Radius Excavator Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas introduced the Hyundai HX130LCR, the third compact-radius excavator model in the company’s HX series product line. The 13.5-ton (12.2 t) machine also is available in a second standard configuration, the HX130LCRD, which includes a dozer blade. The HX130LCR is the 15th model in Hyundai’s HX series of excavators. The HX130LCR excavator is powered by a 73.6-hp (55 kW) Perkins 854F Tier IV Final diesel engine. The LCR model has a standard operating weight of 29,750 lbs. (13,495 kg), while the LCRD model’s standard operating weight is 31,290 lbs. (14,195 kg). It achieves a maximum dig depth of 18 ft. 4 in. (5.6 m) and maximum digging reach of 27 ft. (8.2 m), and provides bucket digging force of 22,860 lb. ft. (10,369 kgt). The HL130LCR excavator is equipped with a standard 0.52-cu. yd. (0.40 cu m) capacity, 30in- wide (76 cm) bucket. “The new Hyundai HX130LCR fills an important spot in our excavator lineup,” said Corey Rogers, marketing manager, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas. “The market demand is growing for this weight class, especially for compact-swing machines that give contractors the added versatility of working in confined spaces.” Industry-Leading Operating Environment “The HX130LCR is the latest model to give our customers what we call the Hyundai Edge — a powerful combination of performance, convenience, serviceability and safety features,” Rogers said. “Like all of our machines, the new HX130LCR excavator comes packed with high-end features.” For example, it includes as standard equipment an 8-in. (20.3-cm) interactive, adjustable, touchscreen clustermonitor in the cab. Viewable on the monitor is the Hyundai-exclusive AAVM — or allaround view monitoring — an optional system that provides a 3,600-surround virtual operating view. Included in AAVM is the IMOD (intelligent moving object detection) system that senses and warns the operator when objects come within 16.5 ft. (5 m) of the machine.

Vermeer Expands Lineup With S925TX Mini-Skid Steer Vermeer has expanded its compact equipment lineup with the new S925TX mini-skid steer, designed to provide impressive lifting performance and the power to conquer the most demanding applications, according to the manufacturer. With a tip capacity of 2,643 lbs. (1,198.8 kg), a rated operating capacity of 925 lbs. (419.6 kg) and maximum hinge pin height reach of 84.5 in. (214.6 cm), the radial lift path of the Vermeer S925TX makes easy work of lifting and dumping heavy loads. The new mini-skid steer features a dual auxiliary system, which allows the operator to switch between high flow for ground-engaging attachments and low flow for maximum control. It also is equipped with a universal mounting plate that fits a broad range of Vermeer-approved attachments. “From landscaping and tree care to rental operations, contractors are discovering that Vermeer mini-skid steers can increase their daily productivity,” said Jon Kuyers, senior global products manager at Vermeer. “With the S925TX model, we’ve designed a machine that can deliver a higher lifting performance than most other machines in the compact utility loader segment while still maintaining a compact size and impressive hydraulic attach-

With a tip capacity of 2,643 lbs. (1,198.8 kg), a rated operating capacity of 925 lbs. (419.6 kg) and maximum hinge pin height reach of 84.5 in. (214.6 cm), the radial lift path of the Vermeer S925TX makes easy work of lifting and dumping heavy loads.

ment wielding performance.” The new Vermeer S925TX mini-skid steer is offered in three smooth-running, high-torque, four-cylinder engine options, including a 24.8 hp (18.2 kW) Kubota V1505 diesel engine, a 40 hp (29.8 kW) Kubota WG1605 gas engine and the 35.1 hp (26.2 kW) Kubota V1505 diesel engine offered only for international markets.

Contractors can further customize their mini-skid steer loader with either 7-in. (17.8 cm) wide tracks that produce 5 psi (.4 bar) of ground pressure or 9-in. (22.9 cm) wide tracks with 4 psi (.3 bar) of ground pressure for even better floatation. The S925TX mini-skid steer has a travel speed of 4.1 mph (6.6 kmh). Like other Vermeer mini-skid steers, the S925TX is built with a chariot-style platform for optimum operator comfort, and pilot-operated ground drive to help the user maintain smooth control on the job site, as well as in tight areas. The Vermeer S925TX is backed by a three-year/3,000-hour extended limited warranty on the mainframe and loader arms for even more assurance and piece-of-mind on the job.

JCB Unveils 210T, 215T Compact Track Loaders

JCB’s 210T and 215T compact track loaders weigh less than 10,000 lb. (4,536 kg) and are equipped with the 74 hp (55 kW) JCB Diesel by Kohler no-DPF, no-DEF engine more commonly found in the company’s large-platform models.

JCB launched its 210T and 215T compact track loaders, offering the power and performance of large-platform compact track loaders in small-platform, easily towable machines weighing less than 10,000 lb. (4,536 kg) The 210T and the 215T are powered by the 74 hp (55 kW) JCB Diesel by Kohler engine, requiring no DPF and no DEF. The radial lift 210T model has a rated operating capacity (ROC) of 1,900 lb. at 35 percent tipping load and 2,650 lb. at 50 percent tipping load. The 215T vertical lift model has an ROC of 2,100 lb. at 35 percent tipping load and 3,000 lb. at 50 percent tipping load. The ROC of both models can be increased with an optional bolt-on chassis counterweight package, and both are capable of operating high flow attachments up to 30 gallons per minute. “The 210T and 215T are the latest in the company’s range of skid steers and compact track loaders that are designed and manufac-

tured in the United States,” said Randy Tinley, JCB product manager of skid steers and compact track loaders. “The horsepower-to-weight ratio of these machines make them ideal for confined work spaces where increased lift capability is required. These are the smallest compact track loaders available that can lift a standard pallet of sod or bricks, or a wet round hay bale.” Featuring JCB’s single boom design, the 210T and 215T provide operators with 60 percent better visibility than conventional twin-arm skid steer designs, for safer operation and easier changing of attachments and placing or loading material, according to the manufacturer. Entry to the cab, which is up to 46 percent larger than comparably sized compact track loaders, also is simplified and made safer by a wide-opening side door. For more information, visit www.jcb.com.

Increased Durability, Reliability Uptime protection is a top priority for Bobcat Company. That is why the 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage is designed with reliable components — including a new drive motor — to ensure the undercarriage is operating properly. The undercarriage’s new drive motor is easier to maintain, while the drive motor’s outer bearing is more durable because it receives continuous lubrication from oil within the loader’s hydraulic system, according to the manufacturer. A 15 percent increase in diameter to the drive shaft inside the gearbox also increases the component’s durability. For ease of maintenance, the inner gear box reservoir housed within the new drive motor is easier to flush and fill through the two service ports. Dual flange front idlers are made with forged steel and are designed to withstand harsh operating conditions. The steel idlers guide and support the rubber tracks around the ends of the compact track loader’s undercarriage. An additional fifth link on the rear axle stabilizes the undercarriage to increase machine stability and performance when grading, and provides enhanced ride quality for operators. Bobcat 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriages are designed with a solid cast spindle mount for increased durability. This design eliminates welds and distributes stress across one seamless piece that has additional metal and strength precisely where it’s needed most. An inner bar in the axle system is heat-treated for maximum strength and surrounded by four rubber cords, increasing the system’s longevity. New rollers are wider to maximize their contact with the compact track loader’s rubber tracks, minimize wear and deliver a smoother ride for operators. In addition, a larger rear idler positioned farther back within the undercarriage provides more surface area for less wear per rotation, increasing overall component life, as well as supplying more down force to the cutting edge. Hydraulic hoses are carefully routed and protected inside the 5-Link torsion suspen-

sion undercarriage. The undercarriage design helps keep hoses free from snags and obstacles that operators may encounter on a job site, which ensures uptime protection. A new feature of Bobcat compact track loader undercarriages is an automatic hydraulic track tensioning system. No longer do loader operators need to manually adjust the compact track loader’s track tension with a grease gun. The hydraulic tensioning system automatically ensures the proper track tension, thereby increasing machine uptime protection. Bobcat lengthened the undercarriage’s rubber tracks to increase surface area and ground contact, which in turn provides better flotation and improving machine performance in soft ground conditions such as sand or mud. Enhanced Operator Comfort The 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage is a brand-new design for Bobcat compact track loaders. The new undercarriage design improves operator comfort and ride quality without sacrificing performance, according to the manufacturer. Its design not only improves ride quality, it absorbs the stress and vibrations encountered on the job. Less vibration reduces machine wear and improves the machine’s components life. In addition, the 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage produces less noise and provides a quieter work environment for the compact loader operator. Maintenance Made Easy The 5-Link torsion suspension undercarriage’s bushings are made with high-grade, high-quality steel for added durability. Regular loader maintenance is simple due to five easy-to-access grease fittings. Recessed fittings are protected from jobsite objects and debris to help minimize machine downtime. A redesigned undercarriage main frame allows operators to perform preventive maintenance easier and quicker. A horizontally mounted hydraulic track tension cylinder provides more room between the undercarriage components and the track for easier cleanout. Plus, the undercarriage is sloped on both sides to shed sand, dirt, mud and other material. Raised cutouts between the rollers allow for easier cleaning. For more information, visit Bobcat.com.

ARTBA Helps Secure Purple Line Project Victory in Federal Court The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) Dec. 19 hailed a federal appeals court decision to overrule a lower court ruling blocking the Maryland Purple Line light-rail project, one of the nation’s most high profile transit public-private partnerships (P3). The association told the court that not allowing the Purple Line to proceed posed grave risks for future transportation projects and was an abuse of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Trump administration’s anticipated infrastructure initiative is expected to include P3s as part of its proposed funding approach. The ruling provides a clear notice that NEPA was not intended to be used as a tool to endlessly delay critically needed transportation infrastructure projects. The 16-mi. Purple Line project between Bethesda and New Carrolton, Md., in Washington, D.C.’s northern suburbs, is one of the nation’s largest P3 transit projects. The project had been mired in litigation since 2014 by a small group of citizen activists opposed to construction of the project. In August 2016, a lower court judge halted construction, asserting the Federal Transit Administration had failed to consider declining ridership on the D.C. Metro system. Both the federal government and the state of Maryland appealed the decision contending there was no obligation under

NEPA to consider ridership on the entire regional transit system as part of the Purple Line approval process. In its brief to the court, the association said the lower court ruling was an abuse of the NEPA process and warned, if left standing, the ruling could have a chilling effect on future transportation infrastructure project approvals across the United States. “If plaintiffs or courts can upend the culmination of the onerous NEPA process for economic or policy reasons having nothing to do with the environment, the ensuing uncertainty and delay would discourage public and private investment needed to rebuild and improve the country’s transportation infrastructure,” ARTBA said. The federal appeal court agreed with ARTBA, noting the decision not to consider Metro ridership was “precisely the type of judgement implicating substantial agency expertise to which the court owes deference.” The court further agreed with ARTBA’s argument that NEPA had been misused by the project opponents, stating, “NEPA does not require agencies to needlessly repeat their environmental impact analyses every time such information comes to light.” For more information, visit www.artba.org.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Help Restore Patch of Rare Habitat in Ill. CHICAGO (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is planning to seek bids to restore a patch of rare habitat at a forest preserve district in a southwest suburb of Chicago. The Lockport Prairie Nature Preserve said it features wet and wetmesic dolomite prairie, which are among the most critically endangered natural communities on Earth More than half of the high quality wet dolomite prairie in the world is located at the Lockport preserve, a home to endangered and threatened species, the Daily Southtown reported. Those inhabitants include the federally endangered Hine’s emerald dragonfly, leafy prairie clover and lakeside daisy; the state-endangered golden corydalis and spotted turtle; and the state-threatened stiff sandwort and Blanding’s turtle. Bids opened Dec. 19, with restoration work possibly beginning this winter. The forest preserve district said crews will remove invasive species,

encourage native plant growth and replenish the underground water source. Work would span about five years and cost $2.5 million. Forest Preserve Chief Ralph Schultz said the Army Corps of Engineers and the forest preserve have been collaborating on a strategy to preserve and enhance Lockport Prairie for more than a decade.

“We’re excited this project is moving into its next phase with a significant investment by the Corps in preserving the future of one of Will County’s natural wonders,’’ Schultz said. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

CHICAGO (AP) One of Chicago’s most popular tourist attractions is expected to get a new seven-story hotel. The Chicago Tribune reported developers have unveiled plans for a $100 million 222-room hotel that’s part of Hilton’s Curio Collection. It will feature views of the lake and a 30,000-sq.ft. rooftop restaurant and bar.

Bob Habeeb heads the Rosemontbased First Hospitality Group, which is developing the hotel. He said it will be a unique tourist attraction with incredible views and easy access to the Ferris wheel. Construction is slated to start in January, with an anticipated opening for summer 2019. The development,

which is being paid for with private funds, was first announced last year. Navy Pier is a 100-year-old landmark that was renovated as a tourist destination in the 1990s. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Pace Construction Improves Route 141 at I-44 in Missouri

Pace Construction photo

St. Louis experienced major flooding last May, which impacted the project. MODOT from page 1

ished, will improve levels of service on Route 141 through 2038. “There are several issues along Route 141 near I-44 in Valley Park,” stated the project’s web page. “Primarily, the Route 141 corridor is exceptionally congested during morning and evening commutes, especially between I-44 and the Vance intersection. Several major side roads, including Vance, lead to Route 141 near I-44, add to that congestion.” “MoDOT programmed this project back in 2014 as four separate projects to improve the corridor in Valley Park,” said David J. Simmons, P.E., MoDOT’s project director. “The decision was made to combine all four projects into one streamlined design-build project and use a goal driven partnership with the industry to deliver the best possible improvements for the dollars available. We are extremely satisfied with the improvements that were offered by the Pace-AECOM Team. “The Pace-AECOM-Lochmueller team really focused project improvements on safety and mobility with their proposal,” he said. “Many motorists experienced heavy congestion and many rear-end accidents at the Route 141 and Vance Road intersection. Since we opened up the new ThrU Turns last summer, traffic flows through the area much better. We have received many positive comments from the community on the new configuration. That should be a testament to the folks in this area as opening up these types of intersections has not always been popular around the country. The contractor and MoDOT Team worked together in concert keeping key stakeholders informed that lead to a successful opening of the ThrU Turns. “We are excited to complete the flyover and interchange improvements in mid-2018 that should dramatically increase mobility through the rest of the project limits,” he added. “The new traffic movements and the newly constructed innovative drainage basins should improve mobility during rush periods and during heavy rain events.” Pace, in its proposal, said some of the proposed mobility improvements will result in 50 percent less delay in the morning and 67 percent less delay in the afternoon systemwide. Concerning safety, the company stresses that its design will bring congestion relief and reduction in the number of stops along Highway 141 will result in 57 fewer crashes annually. To help secure public input, MoDOT established a Community Involvement Group that continues to reach out to community leaders impacted by the project to share infor-

mation during the construction. The initial meeting was held in July 2015, followed by meetings in March 2016 and last February. “The community has been huge in helping with the rollout of the new ThrU Turns,” said Simmons. “Everyone understood the need for something innovative to improve the 12,000 cars per-day that make a left turn from northbound 141 to Vance Road and this improvement is paying off. Pace and MoDOT worked hard to inform the public on the how we would open up the new configuration and the community leaders bought in and helped us get the message out. We’ve used the Community Information Group approach on projects of high importance, but this group was a tremendous asset to our team.” The project was designed by AECOM Technical Services. “The biggest challenge was figuring out how to design and construct the improvements within a confined footprint,” said Kyle Levenhagen, AECOM’s design manager. “There were a lot of existing traffic movements that had to be maintained. With congestion already prevalent on Route 141, our team did not want to increase the burden on commuters during construction. This challenged our team to push the limits of what could safely be done in terms of design. “In the end, the added improvements will help to improve mobility by reducing conflicts with traffic signals. The project also consists of two new bridges, both consisting of precast concrete girders with 75-year service lives. This design has allowed for efficiency in construction as well as ease of future maintenance.” Aaron Loehr, Pace’s project manager and vice president of the bridge division said the project encompasses two railroads, BNSF and UP, a high voltage transmission line, which required adjustment, and utilities owned by major fiber optic companies and gas lines “This required early communication and partnering with the railroads, utilities and Ameren [the owner of the transmission line], making sure the design team was accounting for any issues raised by one of these stake holders so that it didn’t bring the project to a halt. My previous experiences of working with railroads has helped, knowing what to expect from them and what they expected of us.” St. Louis experienced major flooding last May, which impacted the project. “We anticipated a lot of the challenges,” said Loehr, “but one of the issues that made it difficult for us was the major flooding that we really couldn’t anticipate — this was a 500-

year flood. This required crews, on a Friday and Saturday, to work in the heavy rain to relocate the staging area to higher ground and coordinating with MoDOT to relocate our crawler cranes once the roadways where shut down. We were able to relocate all of our equipment in time, but it did shut down the project for several weeks. We made up for those lost weeks by working additional overtime.” Traffic issues and overall coordination was another challenge for the day and night shifts to hammer out on a daily basis. “This required the shift superintendents, project engineer, and general superintendent to meet in between shifts to talk about any setbacks, problems or acceleration on the schedule for the next shift,” said Loehr. “We also needed a good team of subcontractors with us and coordination with MoDOT and all the stakeholders. Fortunately, Pace has had many other projects that have required multiple shifts and we have been able to apply the lessons learned from those projects.” Loehr had sufficient space to set up field offices, material storage sites, and equipment parking areas and due to the closeness to the highway, removing and receiving materials.” The work site is divided into two segments — the south end flyover and the north end thru turns.. Pace crews were able to work last winter. “The winter in 2016 was mild compared to years past and we were able to continue all phases of the project,” said Loehr. “This year thus far has been hit or miss — we recently had to bring in hydronic heating units to allow construction to proceed on the flyover bridge decks. “Some lessons we brought to this project was that we needed to have a good team of subcontractors that we could rely on to get the work completed but at the same time make sure we completed the project with a diverse workforce and team.” Assisting Loehr on this project are Jim Schaefer, construction manager, Brent Darr, project engineer, Mike Conner, general superintendent, structures and Tom Helfrich, project general superintendent. The number of workers on site varies depending upon the day. Some times there can be nearly 15 Pace and subcontractor personnel on-site and other times, close to 50. “We found it key to have weekly meetings with the individual subcontractors, as well as a group meeting,” said Loehr. Pace expects to remove 17,000 tons of concrete, and 250 see MODOT page 94

Like Clockwork — Milis Flatwork Completes Smooth Pour Anyone who knows concrete knows a large pour can be unpredictable. Many factors play into a smooth-running pour, and for Milis Flatwork, Kaukauna, Wis., a well-planned job, well-trained staff and reliable, high-performance equipment all contribute to a profitable day’s work. Milis Flatwork specializes in large scale concrete pours and was the concrete contractor for a recent 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse extension for a plastics company in Kaukauna. According to Dylan Milis, owner/operator of the company, they were ready for a successful pour. “We got here at 4:15 this morning and started pouring at 5:00 a.m. In total, we are going to have about 70 trucks here today, just under 700 cubic yards of concrete.” The 70 trucks arrived like clockwork, allowing Milis and his crew

to have all the concrete placed by about 1:00 p.m. Throughout the pour, Milis operated his new Somero laser screed and was confident that they would achieve a flat floor.

“We don’t have any specific FF numbers, but I would anticipate we will hit well over 65 for FF today. The floor will not be tested, since there are no specs, but it will be a quality flat floor.”

On a job this size, Milis has a well-planned system for the finishing process. “We put down the concrete with a laser screed to get it as flat and level as possible, which definitely aids in a flatter floor,” Milis said. “Then, we pan the floor twice with two machines that have pans on them. After we pan the floor, we run some combo blades on it, and then we finish it out with plastic blades. This will be an exposed floor, so we’ll put a nice shine on it.” Luke Sevcik, Wacker Neuson product application/training specialist and ACI certified flatwork finisher and examiner, confirms that quality floors start with the right process. “When pouring large block placements, as in the case here,

laser screeds and ride-on trowels with highly skilled operators will yield high FF numbers, even when not specified. It’s good practice to always follow best methods every time you pour to keep your skills honed and be prepared for a job that does call for high FF numbers,” Sevcik said. Milis uses Wacker Neuson rideon and walk-behind trowels for this finishing work. “On this job, we have four 8footers [CRT48] and one 6-footer [CRT36], one of them is a hydro machine that we do a lot of panning with, and the others are stick machines. We have a mixture of Kubota and Vanguard powered machines, which are both good engines. We also have a walkbehind edging machine doing the edges. We definitely like the fuel-

injected Kubota engines, those are nice. Some of the guys like the hydro machine, so if they are doing big floors like this, they don’t get operator fatigue. The hydro machine has dual settings so that’s nice depending on the type of floor you’re on and how fast you are moving. We have it set up that each machine has its process and certain operators run those machines,” Milis said. Achieving a quality floor also depends on the quality of the finishing equipment and Milis has found confidence in Wacker Neuson’s flatwork finishing line. “Originally we bought Wacker [Neuson] because they were made locally; they are made 100 miles south of us in Milwaukee [Menomonee Falls],” Milis said. see CLOCKWORK page 80

Custom Drill Revives Sinking Highway One of the main highways from I-80 into Grand Island, Nebraska, was beginning to settle. Sections of Locust Street had dropped 2 to 3 in., making it increasingly unsafe for the estimated 300,000 people who attend the Nebraska State Fair each year. The concrete itself was in decent shape, but the slabs were settling and uneven on a weakened soil base. Thrasher was selected to repair a half-mile section of the key thoroughfare. An experienced concrete contractor serving Nebraska, western Iowa and northwest Missouri, Thrasher brought its unique Polylevel system to the $250,000 job. Thrasher’s Polylevel involves drilling holes in the affected concrete, then injecting a lightweight polyurethane foam that expands to lift, level and stabilize slabs. The foam has proven to deliver long-lasting strength, but the drilling process was inefficient on projects like Locust Street —until Thrasher found just the right equipment for the job. Contractor Seeks Out Drill Solution Not long before the Locust Street project, the process of drilling holes for Polylevel injection was time-consuming and costly for Thrasher. For a few years, the company performed the work with electric drills and pneumatic impact drills. These drills got the job done, but they were limited. “With our old methods we just had a lot of time constraints when drilling our holes,” said Cory Eastin, Polylevel team lead for Thrasher. “We weren’t able to do big jobs in a timely manner. We needed equipment that could increase our productivity.” So, in 2013, Dan Thrasher, Thrasher president, and Aaron Ruskamp, senior production manager, went to the World of Concrete trade show with a purpose: find a better way to drill holes for Polylevel. They envisioned a machine that could drill three holes at a time, and met with a few different manufacturers about the idea. Thrasher ultimately chose to partner with Minnich Manufacturing, the Ohio-based producer of concrete dowel pin drills, concrete vibrators, vibrator monitoring systems and custom drill solutions. Minnich is a concrete industry fixture that will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2018. “We felt most comfortable with Minnich,” Ruskamp said. “Our conversations at World of Concrete in Las

Vegas and after the show made it feel like they were a company we could trust and would stick with us through the whole R&D process and modifications.” Minnich worked with Thrasher to develop a custom pneumatic machine, featuring three 50-lb. rock drills mounted to a self-propelled platform assembly. Powered by a 350cfm air compressor, the unit could drill holes up to 25 in. deep with convenient adjustable hole spacing and bed back-tilt capability. “We went from an electric drill, which took about 30 seconds to drill a hole through an 8-inch-thick slab, to the Minnich drill, which was drilling three holes in just a few seconds,” Ruskamp said. “If a project was two days or more, the drill could take the place of one person. It was a significant improvement over what we had before.” Drill Raises Efficiency on Locust Street Job With the Minnich drill on site, Thrasher made quick work of the Locust Street job. Eastin was able to drill three 5/8-in. holes at once from his control station on the unit. He could then drive the machine forward to drill more trios of holes — all while limiting wear and tear on his body. Thrasher used a separate rig to perform the Polylevel foam injection, which provides an innovative alternative to concrete remediation methods such as total replacement and mudjacking. Thrasher’s sister company, Omaha-based Supportworks, sells Polylevel and trains contractors on how to use the product. “The Minnich drill makes the

drilling part of every job go a lot easier,” Eastin said. “Time efficiency is way faster. Instead of spending on to two minutes drilling a hole with the old method, I’m able to drill three holes at the same time in a matter of seven to 10 seconds.” With the specialized Minnich machine, Thrasher raised Locust Street in less than three weeks. Less time on the road meant fewer man-hours, reduced injury risk and shorter lane closures. “The drill is everything it was made out to be,” Eastin said. “It makes your job go more efficiently, which saves your company money, which saves your customers money. It just saves heartache in the grand scheme of things.” Thrasher deploys the Minnich drill on approximately a dozen road projects per year. Ruskamp said the unit makes Thrasher more competitive when bidding for highway jobs — and demonstrates the company’s commitment to staying on the leading edge of concrete technology solutions. “We want to be constantly pioneering — thinking of new and better ways to do things,” Ruskamp said. “Fortunately we found a company in Minnich Manufacturing that was willing to work with us to come up with something custom that really made a difference.” For more information about Minnich Manufacturing, visit www.minnich-mfg.com.

Vögele’s Super 1700-3i, 1703-3i Pavers Feature ErgoPlus3 The 8-ft. (2.4 m) paver segment is of central importance to many road construction companies, because with these machines they can cover a wide range of applications, from small municipal job sites to highway construction and rehabilitation. With their strong performance and a uniquely compact design, the Super 1700-3i and Super 1703-3i pavers put Germany-based Joseph Vögele AG at the forefront of technology in this field. They also integrate the practical features that make the “Dash 3” generation of SUPER pavers synonymous worldwide with modern road pavers — most notably the intuitive and ergonomic ErgoPlus 3 operating concept. Pavers in the 8-ft. class are road construction machines that are designed to achieve maximum performance both in confined conditions and on highway job sites. What may sound like conflicting objectives has led Vögele’s design engineers to a future-oriented solution. The result is the new Super 1700-3i tracked paver and Super 1703-3i wheeled paver, ultra-modern machines that are compact but powerful, and thus meet the highest demands, according to the manufacturer. The Super 1700-3i and Super 1703-3i

integrate many advantages that pay off under demanding operating conditions. For example, the material handling concept that effectively counteracts thermal and mechanical segregation by such means as its cleverly designed receiving hopper, ascending conveyors and hydraulic augers, the height of which can be adjusted by 6 in. (15 cm). Maximum Ease of Operation With the Intuitive ErgoPlus 3 Operating Concept For Vögele, however, design means much more than just meeting the demands of construction companies and customers. Every Vögele development focuses above all on the user, as evidenced by the ErgoPlus 3 operating concept. It encompasses an ergonomic paver operator’s platform with numerous intelligent details, such as a hardtop with an extendable sunshade and comfortable seats that swing out to the side. The heart of the ErgoPlus 3 system is the operating consoles for the driver and screed operator. All functions are arranged here in logical groups, push-buttons support reliable operation even when wearing work gloves, and the backlit color displays make it easy to clearly read current settings, even at night or in bright sunlight.

Strong Performance: Ready to Give Their All A paver that has to master a variety of construction projects must be designed for the maximum required level of performance. For the new 8-ft. pavers, combined with the Vögele front-mounted extending screed and hydraulic bolt-on extensions, this maximum is at 19 ft. 6 in. (5.95 m). Strong performance, even when operating at this maximum paving width, is provided by a liquid-cooled 4-cylinder Cummins diesel engine, which even functions reliably under extreme climate conditions. The engine has an output of 173 hp (129 kW) at 2,000 rpm. When working in ECO mode, which is sufficient for most applications, the engine runs at a maximum of 1,700 rpm, further reducing noise emissions and fuel consumption. Laydown Rates of Up to 770 Tph The entire material handling system of the Super 1700-3i and Super 1703-3i also is designed for high output, starting with the extra-large receiving hopper with a capacity of 14.3 tons (13 t), which supports the easy and rapid supply of mix from the trucks. Even a truck hitch is available. High-pow-

ered, separate hydraulic drives on the conveyor and auger deliver an optimum head of mix in front of the screed in every paving situation: They support high laydown rates of up to 770 tph (700 t/h). To transfer this performance onto the road, both pavers have outstanding traction. For the Super 1703-3i wheeled paver, customers have a choice between a 6x4 and 6x6 drive. Stability Combined With Variability Vögele views the paver and screed as a single system, and closely coordinates the two during development. This is evident in the combination of the Super 1700-3i and Super 1703-3i with the front-mounted VF 500 extending screed. It features extremely high stability for maximum evenness and great variability. With the ErgoPlus 3 screed console, the screed can be adjusted infinitely variably and rapidly in a range from 8 to 15 ft. 6 in. (2.45 to 4.75 m), or with bolt-on extensions to 19 ft. 6 in. (5.95 m).

Milis Uses Wacker Neuson Ride-On, Walk-Behind Trowels

The first trowel on the slab was Wacker Neuson’s CRT48-57K-PS hydro-electric power steer trowel, which is dedicated to the initial panning process. CLOCKWORK from page 75

“We went down to the factory, toured the plant when we bought them. We saw how they were put together, the quality control, very high quality machines. And now we continue to purchase them, because we don’t have any problems with our machines. So why change? We have had minimal to no problems, they are priced competitively, and we’ve had a good experience.” Milis Flatwork purchased the trowels from their local dealer,

Lincoln Contractors Supply. Training is very important to Milis, and he attributes much of his success to his crew’s understanding of the entire concrete process. He has sent many of the staff through Wacker Neuson’s Industrial/Commercial Concrete Floors two-day training program. “We send our guys down to the school and they get some hands-on experience, and it also teaches them the specifics on how to make flat floors, how to edge properly, how to run equipment, things of

that sort,” he said. “They know what to anticipate and they know how the process works when they are doing a commercial floor.” Sevcik leads Wacker Neuson’s concrete training program and knows the importance of welltrained operators. “The training we offer at the Wacker Neuson University has proven to be a valuable resource for both experienced and beginning concrete finishers. Operators enhance their skills in not only finishing commercial floors, but the

entire process from the pre-pour planning to curing. By training on the latest finishing techniques, following ACI recommended practices and using the best finishing products available, contractors increase their productivity, FF and FL numbers and overall quality of their product,” Sevcik said. Milis said that the training has helped his business. “It has improved speed and final quality of the product when we are done. It definitely improved final quality and just the whole process

in general. It starts at the beginning. If everything is done right at the beginning, it eases the rest of the way through.” As for the 40,000 sq. ft. warehouse expansion, planning, training and the right equipment provided a quality flat floor that was finished on-time, just like clockwork.

AGC of America (The Associated General Contractors of America) Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management Dates: JANUARY 29 – 31, 2018 Place: Naples, Florida Overview: AGC will return to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, FL for its 2018 Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management. The dates are Monday, January 29 to Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Football fans will note that this is the week preceding the Super Bowl. In the past, the conference has conflicted with this annual sporting event, but again this year, the conference will avoid any conflicts with the big game! Who Should Attend? This conference serves and supports everyone playing a senior role in construction risk management. That group includes the senior executives of the construction companies in the AGC family, and particularly the in-house lawyers and risk managers for these companies. In addition, the regular attendees include the sureties, bond producers, insurance carriers, insurance brokers, lawyers and other professionals on whom such executives continue to depend for advice and assistance. History, Focus and Objective: AGC’s annual Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management had a quiet beginning as a modest committee meeting. Over the years, it has become a much larger event. It continues, however, to focus on the thought leaders in the field of construction risk management, including the surety, insurance and legal professionals who continue to play such important roles. Indeed, its primary objective is to provide a meaningful opportunity for each and all of them to engage in candid discussion of their respective strengths and weaknesses. Attire: The attire for all business sessions and social events will be business casual.

Genie Expands Its Sales Team in North American Market Committed to earning customers’ business with responsive support, Genie has hired six new sales representatives in North America to represent the company — Dickey Bennett, Justin Kelley, Dave Porter, Tim Schmidt, Mike Shaw and Brad Trask. They will support all Genie products and services for the company’s customers, working to meet customers’ needs, as well as helping to develop new growth opportunities, while remaining focused on their customers’ business goals. “Our sales force plays an important role in developing and maintaining relationships with our customers,” said Tom Saxelby, Genie vice president of sales, Terex AWP. “In these new roles, Dickey, Justin, David, Tim, Mike and Brad are well-positioned to help Genie continue to meet the needs of the rental industry and aerial market.” Bennet has rejoined the Genie team in the southeast as a regional sales manager of the states of Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi. Bennett, a 16 year veteran in the construction equipment industry, has worked at Genie previously and most recently worked as a sale representative for Wacker Neuson. “Dickey has great relationships with customers in the southeast region, and we are excited to welcome him back,” said Saxelby. Kelley has accepted a territory sales manager position with the Genie team in the western region, including northern California and the majority of Nevada. Kelley has been a team member at Genie for 20 years, most recently managing the company’s e-commerce business. Prior to that position, Kelley was a supervisor of the inside sales team and a buyer for the global service parts business. “Justin brings a wealth of knowledge to this position,” said Saxelby. “His goal has always been to be an outside sales representative for Genie, and his passion for this new job and the company will most certainly be a huge advantage for us.” Porter comes to the Genie team as the regional sales manager of the Mid-Atlantic region, including Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia and North Carolina. Porter has been in the construction equipment industry since 1994, and his previous roles have included outside sales and management with Rental Service Corporation, United Rentals and H&E. “David’s deep knowledge of the rental industry will help him effectively transition into this new role,” said Saxelby. Schmidt joins the Genie team as a regional sales manager of the central region, covering North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota and Manitoba, Canada, after holding a territory manager position with Ritchie Brothers. “Tim has extensive experience and relationships with National Accounts and independent customers throughout the region, which will help him successfully take on the responsibilisee GENIE page 94

ties of his new position,” said Saxelby. Shaw has accepted the position with Genie as a senior regional sales manager on the Cat team in the western region. Shaw has been in the construction equipment industry since 1990, working in outside sales and as a branch manager with Wagner Rents and as a district rental development manager of Cat in Denver. He served as factory representative for MultiQuip. “Mike’s unique knowledge of the Cat rental business will benefit Genie in his new position,” said Saxelby. Trask transitions to the Genie sales team, supporting customers in Ontario, Canada. Trask started in the aerial industry in 1994, serving roles in manufacturing, research and development and product support. He joined Genie in 2006, serving as a product support representative and moving into a manager role for the team prior to taking on this new position. “Brad has been a valuable member of the Genie product support team in Canada,” said Saxelby. “His knowledge of the customers and the market in Ontario will be a great asset for Genie in this role.” “We are excited to add Dickey, Justin, David, Tim, Mike and Brad to the Genie sales team in North America,” said Saxelby. “These gentlemen’s unique skill sets and experiences significantly add to, and complement, the wealth of industry expertise and knowledge within our sales team.” For more information, visit: www.genielift.com.

tons of asphalt. “We have been able to recycle nearly all of the concrete back into the fills on the project along with returning the asphalt back to the plant for future recycling,” said Loehr. “We try to recycle as many materials as possible and we submitted an Environmentally Responsible Construction Technique Plan for this project.” New materials should include 32,000 tons of concrete, 500 tons of steel and 12,000 tons of asphalt. Pace’s headquarters and home shop is 30 minutes from the work site. In terms of equipment, Pace is using: Terex HC 110, Terex RT 780, Grove RT 635, and Manitowoc M-65 cranes; Cat 323 and 330 and Komatsu PC220, PC360 and PC400 excavators; Cat and Komatsu dozers; Cat rollers and pavers; and Bobcat skidsteers. “We dispatched mechanics as needed and used some from our equipment dealers, like Fabrick Cat,” said Loehr. “It’s just been routine maintenance items — we haven’t had any major equipment failures, and we haven’t had any major repairs where we needed to move a piece of equipment back to the shop. Tom Schilly is our equipment man-

ager and he’s done a great job.” Pace has rented skid steers, trackhoes, and manlifts from Fabick Cat in Fenton and a Terex HC 110 crawler crane from RTL Equipment in Grimes, Iowa. Pace purchases equipment from dealerships such as Fabrick Cat, RTL Equipment, Roland Machinery and Bobcat of St. Louis. “One key to having a good relationship with equipment dealers is maintaining and open and honest dialogue with equipment dealers,” said Schilly. “We communicate problems we encounter with new equipment and work with the dealers on getting them repaired.” Loehr noted that the project is on schedule and that on certain benchmarks, is slightly ahead. “We have a good crew — a solid union work force — and staff,” he said. “We do quarterly partnering events with members of the crew, the owners, and the stakeholders of the project. We’re always open to better ideas and we encourage employees to come forth with them.” (This story also can be found on MODOT photo Construction Equipment Guide’s website at The design-build project, which began in June 2016, has Pace working with AECOM www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
