The Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association held its 68th annual Asphalt Conference at the Mystic Lake Convention Center in Prior Lake, Minn., Dec. 1 to 2 with record attendance of more than 450 participants. New to the event was a trade show that included equipment displays with time to network with agencies, contractors and consultants.
More than 20 educational sessions were held over the two-day event, which included content on pavement preservation, engineering and research, general industry information, safety and sustainability.
Two general sessions were held with a presentation from Sarah Sladek of XYZ University on gaps in workforce retention for the Minnesota asphalt industry. Her message was based on survey work within the asphalt industry with an emphasis on generational differences in workplace attitudes.
Transportation Commissioner Nancy Daubenberger spoke to attendees on current MnDOT asphalt related activities and the desire to work together on initiatives, especially with the legislature. Ron Wirtz of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis spoke on current regional workforce trends.
A new emphasis this year was conversation around environmental product declarations and reducing carbon emissions in the asphalt production process. New requirements related to the federal Inflation Reduction Act have accelerated the need to invest in these pursuits. National speakers Richard Willis (NAPA) and Heather Dylla (Construction Partners) gave their perspective of the changing environmental landscape. Curt Turgeon (MnDOT) also gave the local perspective and ongoing research for how states could implement environmental product declarations.
Jeff Martin Auctioneers opened a new location in Glencoe, Minn., this year and Broderick Alley, sales, northern Minnesota, was on hand to let everyone know the good news.
see MAPA page 76 Road Machinery & Supplies Co.’s Joe Moran (L), territory manager, and Vince Kasper, territory manager, Savage, Minn., explained the benefits of the Bomag BW 120-SL-5 light tandem roller. The BW 120-SL-5 is good for soil compaction and asphalt patching; footpaths and repair work; and finishing work in road construction.
From Ritchie Bros.’ Medford, Minn., location, PJ Fanberg (L), territory manager, and Joe VanDeWiele, territory manager, were at the conference to talk with attendees about what Ritchie Bros. can do to help clients buy and sell used equipment. The Ziegler Cat team of Blake Aldrich (L), Minneapolis paving representative, and Chris Mullen, territory manager, Columbus, Minn., brought a Weiler P265 heavy-duty screed. The 3,000-lb. heavy-duty screed delivers outstanding mat quality and paving range.

The Vögele ErgoPlus 5 operating concept provides even greater safety and convenience for users.
Road construction companies are equipped for the future with Vögele’s latest-generation SUPER 1900-5(i) and SUPER 2100-5(i) road pavers and AB 500 and AB 600 extending screeds.
Highway Class pavers are perfectly at home whether on highways or handling other demanding large-scale projects. The SUPER 1900-5(i) manages pave widths between 8.2 and 37.8 ft; the SUPER 2100-5(i) up to 46 ft.
Both Dash 5 pavers are convincing products featuring a flexible, modular system which takes particular account of economy and sustainability as well as of ease of use and process automation.
More Convenience, Safety for Users
Vögele has made user requirements a key focus of development, resulting in further optimization of the ErgoPlus operating concept which, with its touchscreen and smartphone shelf, delivers even greater convenience for digital road construction.
The new Paver Access Control (PAC) function enables Dash 5-generation pavers to be equipped for work on the job site more quickly, more conveniently and more safely. The control unit positioned on the screed allows all the initial steps — such as switching on lights, starting the diesel engine, booting up the machine control system, putting up the hardtop and locking it in position, as well as lowering the screed — to be performed safely and conveniently from ground level.
This promotes safety and saves time, as the paver operator cannot forget to lock the hardtop in position and can start heating the screed as soon as he has arrived on the paver operator's platform.
The combination of PAC and Light Package Plus provides additional convenience and safety. The integrated lighting provides even illumination of the whole working area. As the lighting is permanently integrated in the hardtop design, it is not necessary to transport separate lights to the job site and fit them there.
Process automation not only prevents paving errors, it considerably increases efficiency as well as paving quality. Examples of this are AutoSet Plus, already tried and tested in the market, as well as two new Niveltronic Plus functions, Assist and Edge Control.
The AutoSet Plus feature of the Dash 5 generation simplifies handling even further and new functions have been added.
Niveltronic Plus Assist helps the paver operator pave the road accurately in predefined cross-sectional profiles. Paving parameters can be entered on the display and the progress of construction monitored accordingly.
Edge Control now also makes it possible to control screed width, as well as to steer along a tensioned wire. The physical reference is detected with the aid of a sonic sensor for this purpose. Measurement of screed width in the hydraulic cylinders delivers a precise position signal for what in future will be fully automatic screed width control on

The cabin protects the operator against environmental influences and provides a workplace designed and constructed according to the latest ergonomic principles.
At the beginning of 2022, Wirtgen celebrated the market launch of its completely redesigned generation of compact milling machines. And now, the company presents another innovation. Alongside efficiency and environmental compatibility, the focus is now set on ergonomics again. For the first time, compact class machines can be fitted with a comfort cabin.
The operator’s cabin for the W 100 Fi – W 130 Fi models sets new standards when it comes to ergonomics. It offers the operator a comfortable, low-fatigue workplace and provides effective protection against noise emissions. At the same time, the cabin protects the operator when working in all weather conditions —no matter whether it’s windy, raining, cold or sunny and hot.
The cabin air is cleaned by a filter system and the temperature is controlled by an automatic air conditioning and heating system. The cabin also is constructed as a positivepressure system to prevent the ingress of dirt, dust, and hazardous materials into the operator’s workplace. Regardless of the weather conditions, the operator’s workplace always stays dry and clean, also when transporting the machine.
Low-Fatigue Working
Environment Promotes Better Concentration
The increased comfort and lower impact of environmental influences inside the cabin effectively reduce stress and fatigue.
The cabin offers the operator an attractive working environment with modern control elements and assistance systems that are unique in this class. This assures that important factors that contribute to safety and productivity, such as concentration and physical or mental capabilities, are not impaired in any way.
The consequences of this are motivated operators, job satisfaction and maximum occupational health and safety. All in all, the best prerequisites for making every day a productive working day, Wirtgen said.
Problem-Free Communication
The comfort cabin for compact milling machines also shows another of its unique strengths when it comes to communication.
The ambient noise level is so low that the operator can make hands-free phone calls from the cabin. For communication on the construction site, the operator can either use a radio headset or open the easily accessible side window to talk with the crew on the ground.
Enclosed Cabin Prevents Vandalism
When closed and locked, the operator’s cabin and all control elements are securely protected against vandalism. There is no longer any need to remove and stow protection covers or open up fold-away control panels at the start of work or vice versa at the end of the working day.

PROGRAM from page 1 expanded the program to include multiple transportation modes.
In announcing the seven new projects in early December, the DOT said the program will focus more intently on traffic safety and emissions reduction. The expansion in types of projects reflects the national push for transportation infrastructure improvements as a result of the bi-partisan IIJA, according to the DOT.
The FHWA had in the past worked with state transportation agencies to zero-in on appropriate innovations. Collaborating with agencies such as the FTA and the FRA, the DOT was able to grow the program beyond just infrastructure.
Improvements to nighttime safety, a push for rural and tribal workforce development are among the latest innovations. So is an initiative to integrate greenhouse gas assessments into transportation planning.
Though its name is Every Day Counts, the program isn’t just about speeding up transportation innovation, according to Bloomberg News.
The FHWA sits down with local governments and their transportation departments and stakeholders to choose each new set of projects. Previous rounds of the Every Day Counts program included technology to accelerate bridge construction and digital ticketing, according to Bloomberg.
The program’s shift to embrace other transportation modes comes as concerns about U.S. car dependence continue to grow.
EDC’s new project devoted to nighttime safety, for example, is designed to boost visibility for all users, including cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders.
“We’re really excited about making this tool that’s been proven in the highway context available in all the different modes of transportation,” Pollack said.
This year’s innovations being promoted by the FHWA and the FTA will improve project delivery across highway, rail and transit agencies at the state and local level.
“Americans get the best value out of innovations in transportation when they are broadly shared among communities so that good ideas spread across the country,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “With today’s announcement, these innovations will be more rapidly deployed to save lives, protect taxpayer dollars, reduce carbon emissions and ensure more families, workers and businesses benefit.”
Since the nighttime crash fatality rate is three times that of the daytime, enhancing visibility along corridors, intersections and pedestrian crossings helps reduce fatalities. This initiative promotes traffic control devices and properly designed lighting to improve safety for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists and people who use public transportation and passenger rail services. ï Next-Generation Traffic Incident Management More than six million crashes a year in the United States put responders and other vulnerable road users at risk. Next-Generation Traffic Incident Management programs promote emerging technologies such as emerThe FHWA sits down with local governments and their transportation departments and stake- gency vehicle lighting and queue holders to choose each new set of projects. warning solutions. These and other tools can advance safety and operations to help keep crash responders safe and mitigate traffic impacts after a crash, according to the DOT. ï Integrating Greenhouse Gas Assessment and Reduction Targets in Transportation Planning This initiative provides resources to help agencies, regardless of transportation mode, quantify greenhouse gases and set goals to decrease motor vehicle, construction and life-cycle emissions through planning and project development. ï Enhancing Performance with Internally Cured Concrete (EPIC) Cracking in concrete is a limiting factor in achieving long-term concrete performance. Internal curing mitigates shrinkage cracking and has the potential to substantially extend the service life of concrete bridge decks, benefitting travel by motorMany of the projects are designed to help make the nation’s transit vehicle and public transit, as well as enhancing thesystems safer, greener and more equitable. performance of pavements and repairs. ï Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) for Sustainable Project Delivery Construction materials such as concrete and asphalt have environmental impacts during their life cycle, whether the transportation facility supports passenger vehicles, transit vehicles, or railroad cars. EPDs, which document those impacts, help states support procurement decisions and quantify embodied carbon reductions using life cycle assessments for sustainable pavements. ï Rethinking Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in Design-Build Many design-build contracts do not adequately provide opportunities for disadvantaged businesses.

Kaydence Stephan KAGE
KAGE from page 85 takes just under an hour. The owner’s manual provides detailed instructions on how to install the WingLine laser plow guide and ensure it is functioning as intended. It also comes with a two-year structural warranty.
KAGE, manufacturer of commercial snowplows and landscaping equipment, is known for its AdvantEdge flexible cutting-edge system; SnowFire snowplow box system; Snow Stake management system; Snow Dozer plow system; and LiquidRage anti-icing spray technology — all practical solutions to make time-consuming everyday tasks a thing of the past and accomplishing more in an efficient manner.
All manufacturing occurs in the company’s 26,000-sq.-ft. facility. KAGE was established in 2009 by president and inventor Mike Stephan and was built upon the experience of his father’s landscaping and horticultural services company. Today the company has more than 10 products as part of its offerings in snow equipment.
“From the very foundation of KAGE, we have witnessed the value of showing snowplow operators what the KAGE product can do,” said Kaydence Stephan, of KAGE sales and marketing support. “We strongly believe in getting the operators excited about this revolutionary design and the amount of time the KAGE plow system saves. Not to mention how much less fatigued they feel when they use the KAGE system. The operators have a hard enough job as it is, and our core motive is to make it easy for them.
Despite the pandemic, KAGE customers did not experience any past-due deliveries directly caused by the company. KAGE remained fully staffed and continued to deliver products on time.
“Currently, we are working hard to find the right people, that want to set the stage and start a career here,” said Stephan. “We put our best foot forward to find the right people and put them in the right place. We have experienced some slowdowns within production due to the number of staff we had this summer and fall, but our employees have a great attitude about working overtime and they have what is best for the company at the forefront of their minds. Fortunately, we are close to being fully staffed and have production turned all the way up getting plows out the door every day.”
Aside from creating and providing employment opportunities in the area, the company also is heavily invested in the local community. This year KAGE sponsored the local car and airshow, Wheels and Wings, and had the opportunity to

PROGRAM from page 84 career opportunities in transportation. A continued focus on taking this nationwide will help stakeholders across the country improve their ability to identify, train, and place highway construction workers.
Innovative approaches will be informed by the DOT’s Memorandum of Understanding with the DOL to foster a diverse and skilled workforce to support infrastructure projects.
The focus will expand to rural and tribal communities to increase career opportunities.
“Many of the innovations announced as part of this forward-thinking program will help make the nation’s transit systems safer, greener and more equitable,” said Nuria Fernandez, the FTA administrator. “We look forward to promoting the findings from these initiatives, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to leveling the playing field for small businesses to compete for designbuild contracts, throughout the transit industry.”
History of Success
Every two years since 2011 FHWA has worked with state transportation departments, local governments, tribes, private industry and other stakeholders to identify a new set of innovations to champion that merit accelerated deployment.
The first six rounds of EDC have yielded several innovative project delivery technologies, including prefabricated bridge systems, design-build contracting, project bundling, e-construction (paperless contracting) and safety initiatives.
The program’s success is based largely on states selecting innovations they want to pursue.
The model identifies and rapidly deploys underutilized innovations to shorten the project delivery process, enhance roadway safety, reduce traffic congestion and integrate automation.
Proven innovations promoted through EDC facilitate efficiency at the state and local levels, saving time, money and resources, said the National Operations Center for Excellence (NOCOE).
After selecting EDC innovations, transportation leaders from across the country gather at regional summits to discuss and identify opportunities. It is there that innovations that best fit the needs of their respective state transportation programs are implemented.
Following the summits, states finalize their selection of innovations, establish performance goals and begin implementation.
NOCOE said the EDC program has made a significant positive impact in accelerating the deployment of innovations and in building a culture of innovation within the transportation community.
“Since the inception of EDC, each state has used 19 or more of the 52 innovations promoted through Every Day Counts, and some states have adopted more than 40,” said the organization.
Many of these innovations have become mainstream practices across the country.
Accelerated Innovation Demonstration and State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive programs administered by FHWA provide additional funding and resources to help accelerate the adoption and standardization of innovative technologies.
Previous innovations include Accelerated Bridge Construction, Road Diets, and Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP).
The bridge construction program involved a suite of technologies that allow for accelerated construction of bridges, significantly reducing traffic delays and road closures and often reducing project costs.
Since October 2010, transportation agencies have designed or constructed more than 2,500 replacement bridges using these technologies.
Road Diets are innovative roadway reconfigurations that can help improve safety on mixed-use streets by reducing vehicle speeds, calming traffic and freeing space for alternative modes of travel.
The plan typically converts an existing four-lane, undivided roadway segment to two through lanes and a center, two-way left-turn lane. Road diets can reduce collisions, increase mobility and access and improve a community’s quality of life.
The STEP program is the application of cost-effective countermeasures with known safety benefits to reduce pedestrian fatalities at crossing locations. With pedestrian fatalities a continued concern nationwide, this innovation is helping communities improve pedestrian safety and making crosswalks and pedestrians more visible to drivers.
“By advancing 21st-century solutions, the transportation community is making every day count, to ensure our roads and bridges are built better, faster and smarter and operated at peak efficiency,” said NOCOE. CEG
Water Project Impacts Quality of Life
WATER from page 66 most western states, with South Dakota and North Dakota being the eastern border of their service area. This is the first time there has ever been a reclamation project in Iowa and Minnesota, which makes it unique.”
In addition to dealing with inflation and supply chain issues, keeping construction on schedule has been challenging, with the water treatment plant by far the biggest, longest and most complex task.
The elements also have been an issue for crews.
Larson said a mix of excavators and backhoes are being used for pipeline installation.
Construction is 93 percent complete, although the project is far from finished. Still, Larson has high hopes for the effort.
He added, “Lewis & Clark will have an immense impact on improving the quality of life and expanding economic development opportunities in the tristate region, which today will benefit an estimated 350,000 people, and will have a profound impact on generations to come.” CEG
Lewis & Clark Regional Water System photo As for dirt work, it’s impossible to determine the number of cubic yards of material moved during construction, because of the length and scope of the project, which requires a variety of heavy machinery.
