Interstate 81 slashes 325 mi. across western Virginia along the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. This major traffic corridor is used by

local drivers, truckers and visitors to major public universities in the state like James Madison, University of Virginia and Virginia Tech. Built more than 65 years ago, I-81 struggles with capacity and congestion and is in need of expansion.

Virginia DOT (VDOT) has launched a nearly $3 billion program called I-81 Corridor Improvement Program. Buoyed by the passing of a regional fuel tax in 2019, VDOT has begun projects to improve capacity and safety along see IMPROVE page 34

Concrete Industry Working Toward Carbon Elimination

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Marking a year of progress toward its goal of carbon neutrality, the Portland Cement Association (PCA) last fall noted the multiple pilot projects across the United States that have showcased emerging technologies to capture and reuse or store carbon. Those projects are tools to gauge success as the industry moves toward eliminating all carbon in concrete by the year 2050.

“I’m proud that our industry is taking this on,” said Mike Ireland, president and CEO of PCA. “Together we’ve made progress on a bold, yet achievable pathway to carbon neutrality.”

Ireland noted the industry is “creating a win-win scenario to meet demand for durable infrastructure that also has a low carbon footprint, which will result in a more sustainable and resilient world for the next generation.”

The industry’s “unified approach” to decarbonization is the central focus of the PCA’s Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality.

With the demand for infrastructure never greater, it’s vital for the built environment to advance in a fashion that is sustainable and climate adapted, said the PCA.

“This need spotlights the importance of the progress PCA— representingAmerica’s cement manufacturers — has made on its efforts to reduce emissions.”

In the first year, the campaign saw multiple U.S. cement manufacturers working

with the Department of Energy to implement pilot programs around the concept of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS).

The association reported increased acceptance and use of Portland limestone cement (PLC), a product that reduces concrete’s carbon footprint by approximately 10 percent.

“In addition to private building projects, PLC has been approved by 44 state departments of transportation, some of the largest consumers of cement,” noted PCA.

Consumer demand for sustainable concrete is growing, and companies are specifying low-carbon materials for major construction projects.

“Through this Roadmap, we are creating a built environment that is durable and also sustainable,” said Ron Henley, president, GCC of America, and chairman, PCA. “We are demonstrating that the cement and concrete industry can address climate change, reduce greenhouse gases and eliminate barriers restricting environmental progress.”

In fact, the industry is pushing innovation and calling on stakeholders for more collaboration, according to PCA. The association is working with Congress and federal agencies to maximize the benefits of both the IIJA and the IRA.

Both policies, it noted, provide significant funding for the clean technologies the cement industry requires to reduce emissions.

PCAalso wants to see existing legislation,

see CARBON page 52

Cement manufacturers can reduce the carbon in the clinker-making process, of which limestone is the primary raw material.

The concrete industry has taken on a unified approach to decarbonization with the Portland Cement Association’s Roadmap to Carbon Neutrality.

The construction industry can see the biggest impact in reducing carbon emissions by focusing on the three Cs: clinker, cement and concrete.

Lamar Light, Former Chairman of Groff Tractor & Equipment, PassesAway at 88

Lamar L. Light, age 88 of Mechanicsburg, Pa., passed away on Jan. 31, 2023, with his family by his side. He was the son of the late Stanley and Mabel (Miller) Light, born on July 12, 1934 in Palmyra.

Mr. Light was a 1952 graduate of Palmyra High School and earned his undergraduate degree from Allegheny College in 1958. He was a football lineman in both high school and college before going on to serve his country in the U.S. Marine Corps, where he achieved the rank of Captain while also earning a letter of commendation for building a Buddy Catapult System for the military and helping build the runway project at Vieques Airport, PR.

Mr. Light became a highly respected figure in the local business community, starting out with Furnival Machinery and State Equipment Company before joining L.B. Smith Inc., where he set out on a 30-plus year tenure. At L.B. Smith, he started as a salesman where he excelled and was promoted to sales manager in Camp Hill, Pa., before moving south to Charlotte, N.C., to open up the company’s southeast division as vice president in 1976.

He would come back to the Camp Hill, Pa., headquarters in 1986 as executive vice president before assuming the position of president and COO in 1988 until his retirement in 2000. Throughout the years, he would serve on the board of directors for AED along with Dealer Council Boards for Terex, Volvo and Hitachi.

In 2001, Mr. Light and Mike Savastio became part owners of Groff Tractor & Equipment as part of an overall succession plan with Ken Groff, the former chairman and owner of Groff Tractor. In 2005, Light and Savastio, along with Jim Price, purchased the balance of Groff Tractor & Equipment continuing a growth path to make GT&E one of the most successful and fastest growing dealerships throughout the Northeast over the last 20 years.

Mr. Light would serve as vice chairman from 2001 thru 2005 and became chairman of the board in 2006 until his official retirement in 2012.

“Lamar and I met in Charlotte back in 1977 where he hired me as part of management trainee program for L.B. Smith. He was very demanding, but very fair, and what he demanded always turned into excellence,” said Chris Wilmot, former vice president and general manager of L.B. Smith, founding owner of Flagler Construction Equipment, and chairman of the board of Groff Tractor from 2012 to 2016.

Throughout his 60-plus year career in the construction equipment industry, Mr. Light was a true professional in all he did and was someone who constantly thought of others. He groomed countless employees; he loved the industry and

teaching the “art” of selling to his salesmen and always made sure they carried around their “shut up” card in their coat pocket.

“Lamar is one of the legends in the construction equipment industry. I was privileged to have worked with him for 30-plus years. He was my mentor and helped groom me to be in the position I am in today,” said Savastio.

Despite the dedication required of being a top salesman or an executive, Mr. Light always managed to make time for his family and the things that mattered most. He was a very down to earth person and the epitome of an honest and moral human, and he always made it a point to be home with his family at dinnertime. He and his wife, Janice, were an inseparable couple, supporting one another throughout the years while raising three girls.

Mr. Light would say that the driving force behind his professional career and success was his devoted and supportive wife, and when grandchildren and great grandchildren came along, they quickly became his greatest source of joy.

“Lamar made a permanent imprint on Groff Tractor, as it continues to embody his core business philosophies in how to run a customer-focused, well planned and efficient organization,” said Jim Price, CFO of Groff Tractor.

“Not only was he my boss and mentor for many years, but he was also the best father-in-law that you could ever ask for. He taught Jim and I the importance of balancing your work life around your family life. As much as he loved work and our employees, his family always came first. His legacy and stories will continue for generations to come. He truly was one of a kind and our family & the GTE family will cherish the memories,” added Savastio.

Surviving Mr. Light is his wife of 64 years, Janice (Shirk) Light; daughters, Anne-Marie Mettus (Richard) of Feasterville, Elaine Price (James) of Mechanicsburg, and Patti Jean Savastio (Michael) of Mechanicsburg; grandchildren, Megan Friedman (Matthew), Matthew Price, Carinne Mettus, Jonathan Mettus, Ellen Kremer (Kevin), and Thomas Savastio; great-grandchildren, Kellen and Owen; a sister, Shirley Kerr; and several nieces and nephews.

“I am very fortunate to have visited with Lamar on Monday prior to his passing. During our last conversation, he told me that he ‘hit the birth lottery’with such great children. Lamar was so unselfish and achieved so much, but it was always centered around what was best for his family,” added Wilmot.

Memorial contributions may be made in Mr. Light’s name to Homeland Hospice at www.homelandathome.org/donate, or by mail to: Homeland Hospice, Attn: Myra Badorf, Asst. Director of Development, 2300 Vartan Way, Suite 270, Harrisburg, PA 17110. 

“We look forward to working with Governor Shapiro and will look to his leadership to create equity in the construction industry.As a fellow Montgomery County native, I know the Governor understands the playing field and how to level it.” said Joe Perpiglia, president and CEO of the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors.

“With a shortage of workers in our industry, as well as our aging workforce, we look forward to working with Governor Shapiro to enact criminal justice reform and support his vision for training that will up-skill the underemployed. These effort areas will improve the lives of Pennsylvanians and add to the prosperity of all businesses located in the Commonwealth,” said David Sload, president and CEO of the Keystone Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors.

“As newly elected Governor, we are pleased to see Josh Shapiro make a strong commitment at his inaugural speech towards fair practices that will foster a level playing field for employment.

Maxner Landscaping Succeeds With Westchester Tractor

Nearly the entire fleet of construction equipment owned by Maxner Landscaping, with the exception of trucks, was purchased at Westchester Tractor in Brewster, N.Y.

“As I grew up in this area working for other companies it was almost automatic,” Maxner said. “If you bought equipment, you went down to Westchester Tractor who, at that time, was located in Goldens Bridge, N.Y, to buy your equipment. Since then, they moved their operations to Brewster, N.Y.

“They were perfect for our type of operation,” he added. “They sell the smaller machines like mowers from Kubota that we still need today and definitely needed when we were starting up.As we grew, we bought our woodchippers, our Hitachi loaders, as well as our Kobelco excavators from Westchester Tractor.”

Maxner Landscaping specializes in residential and commercial landscaping, tree planting, excavation and trucking. In the winter months, the company has a considerable snow removal business.

The company was founded by John Maxner 40 years ago. Maxner, who got his business started as a young man essentially mowing lawns, had some experience in property maintenance and landscaping working for his dad, but eventually he ventured out on his own. Through hard work and strategic planning, the company grew way beyond landscape and property maintenance.

Today, the company owns a fleet of earthmoving equipment and does site excavation, foundation work and property clearing. Besides homeowners, its landscape and lawn maintenance customers include local school districts, as well as condo and apartment complexes.

Maxner has a significant crew, but he still at times operates all of the equipment himself and he has become knowledgeable and comfortable with the earthmoving equipment.

“I am very happy with the Hitachi loader,” he said. “It loads dirt and mulch for us most of the year and salt and sand in the winter months. It’s a very reliable machine, very quiet operating engine and pretty much bullet proof.

“Snow removal has become a huge part of our business. To maintain the landscaping contract with some of our bigger customers it has become a necessary evil.

“The snow removal contracts are very demanding on your time and resources. Our equipment has to be in great working order. That’s why we also bought five Kage snow pushers from Westchester Tractor. It’s the only snow pusher on the market that I’m

A Hitachi Z100 loader has proven to be a valuable asset moving materials yearround in Maxner Landscaping’s yard.

These recently purchased New Holland L320 skid steers, equipped with cab heat and air-conditioning, will be used year-round for landscaping, site projects and snow removal.

“It’s not just the experience we have with Westchester Tractor on the front of the sale that keeps us coming back. It’s also the experience on the back end of the sale.”

Alta Equipment Names New GM of New York Division

Alta Equipment Company recently named Ryan Curtis general manager of its NewYork division, which includes three stores located in Batavia, Syracuse andAlbany.

Alta Equipment is a publicly held company, which over the course of the past few years purchased Liftech, which primarily represented JCB, andVantage Equipment, which primarily represented Volvo. Alta also represents additional manufacturers, including Toro, Mecalac, Arctic, Doosan Portable Power, Terramac, SDLG, Gradall and Towmaster.

Curtis’ first exposure to the construction equipment industry was as a sales representative of Liftech, primarily selling JCB machines in western New York State; he was promoted to sales manager for all northeast locations in 2014.

In 2020, Liftech was purchased by Alta Equipment Company and, in 2021, Alta Equipment Company purchased Vantage Equipment. Shortly thereafter, in February 2022, Alta Equipment named Curtis the director of sales of the two combined companies.

In his position as general manager, Curtis is responsible for all aspects of Alta Equipment business in New York State, including parts, service, rental and fundamentally all aspects

of the customer experience for any product sold, rented or supported byAlta Equipment.

In a recent interview with Construction Equipment Guide, Curtis expressed tremendous enthusiasm with the progress Alta Equipment has made in the marketplace over the past couple of years.

“Essentially, since the time of the acquisition by Alta Equipment, business has more than doubled from what was being experienced by the old companies. This tremendous growth can be attributed to a number of things, but first and foremost I point to a tremendous investment in inventory — Alta Equipment has substantially increased its investment in both our rental fleet and our inventoryforretailequipment,aswellasparts on the shelf every year. The end result has beenaproportionateincreaseinsalesandcustomers.”

The increased investments have not been limited to product. Alta Equipment also has invested in people, branch managers have been put in place at every location and the number of technicians has increased from 28 to 47.

“We have changed how our inventory is managed,” Curtis said. “Years ago, under previous management, inventory was centralized at the Syracuse location and dispatched as

necessary to the other branches, which wasted precious time if a customer in Buffalo had an immediate need.

“Today, if our rental managers or sales reps has a need for a piece of equipment, he is able to pull the inventory from their local store.We added branch managers because we thought it was important to have an individual on the ground in each market who transcends all departments and brings down any perceived walls between various departments so that people can make a decision on the spot that’s best for the customer.You would always have a service manager or a parts manager at any given location. A branch manager transcends all of those boundaries and represents the customer.

“Looking down the road in my new position withAlta Equipment, we will continue to look for opportunities to improve the customer experience by making sure that our product inventory levels on both the parts and sales sides meet the needs of the New York contractor and that every one of our team members are putting the needs of the customer first, understanding that ultimately, if the customer is having a pleasant and profitable experience, Alta Equipment’s position in the marketplace will continue to grow.” 

VDOT Details Plan to Provide Sustainable Future for Projects

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has unveiled a statewide Resilience Plan — a comprehensive, formalized framework to incorporate resilience strategies into transportation planning, project development and delivery, operations, maintenance and asset management.

The Resilience Plan outlines strategies to anticipate, prepare for and mitigate hazards that can put the transportation network at risk of disruption and deterioration, such as recurring flooding and extreme weather events.

“It is our responsibility to ensure that Virginia’s transportation network continues to move people and goods safely and efficiently for generations to come,” said VDOT Commissioner Stephen C. Brich. “While the results of the Resilience Plan will take time to fully realize, it is an important step for the agency, as we support the Commonwealth’s goal of increasing resilience statewide and join our counterpart DOTs in working towards increasing transportation resilience

across the nation.”

The Resilience Plan includes six primary objectives:

1.PromoteData-DrivenDecisions —

future conditions.

2. Engage and Partner with Stakeholders — VDOT will establish and implement a coordination and outreach plan that will help leverage existing efforts, maximize benefits and ensuredecision-makingiscoordinated with statewide policy.

3. Identify At-Risk Infrastructure and Prioritize Needs — VDOT will establish a risk-based methodology to measure the vulnerability across current and planned transportation infrastructure assets to support the prioritization and application of resilience efforts.

4. Survey Resilience Measures — VDOT will establish a suite of resilience measures that will be available for incorporation into planning, design, operations and maintenance programs. The measures will include

VDOTwill develop a data and research plan to ensure transportation decisions are informed by the best available data and research regarding vulnerability, current and planned assets, and identified current and

(i) adaptive design criteria based upon the best available, forward-looking data; (ii) physical enhancement measures; (iii) nature-based resilience measures; (iv) operations, maintenance and emergency management enhancement measures; and

(v) other administrative/policy measures.

5. Utilize Feasibility and Cost Effectiveness Analyses — VDOT will develop feasibility and economic analyses that are compatible with existing processes to ensure appropriate selection of resilience measuresforapplicationtoaparticularasset.

6.IncorporateResilienceintoCurrent FundingPolicies — VDOT will identify new funding opportunities that are available for resilience projects and initiatives and identify and implement steps to incorporate resilience into current investment processes and programs. The ultimate deployment of resilience measures relies on the effectiveness of incorporating resilience into the agency’s decision-making processes for funding programs and opportunities.

The Resilience Plan was developed with the support of VDOT leadership and is the first statewide transportation resilience plan in the Commonwealth.

To ensure the successful implementation of this plan, VDOT will continue to engage with partners and stakeholders to allow for a coordinated effort across the Commonwealth.

The complete Resilience Plan is available online at https://www.virginiadot.org/programs/pr-environmental.asp. 

Archer Western Upgrading Highway to Reduce Crashes

this important route.

The interstate section between Troutville and Christiansburg is particularly needy. VDOT kicked off the work in 2022 with a project that will add a third lane in each direction between exits 137 and 141. This 4-mi. section is in Salem and Roanoke County. Between 2016 and 2019, this section was the site of more than 300 crashes. Traffic volumes average approximately 65,000 vehicles per day, with nearly one quarter heavy trucks.

Thisdesign-buildprojectwillbe handled by Archer Western of Herndon, Va. Project planners expect it to be completed by 2026 at a cost of $179 million.

VDOT expects that the work will increase capacity, lower crash rates and enable quicker response to crashes and incidents. In addition to widening the freeway, workers will rebuild or widen bridges and make several safety improvements:

• Replace bridges over Routes 112, Route 635 and Route 619;

• Widen bridges over Route 311 at exit 140;

• Build 2.6 mi. of sound barrier walls along the northbound lanes;

• Install concrete barrier walls along narrow median sections; and

• Add interchange lighting, improve acceleration and deceleration lanes where needed.

Dave Covington is program delivery director for the corridor improvements. He has assembled a team that includes Duane MannofVDOTandJeffMays,projectman-

ager ofArcher Western.

“So far, our progress has been excellent,” said Covington. “In the initial phases, traffic has been pushed to the outside lanes with much of the construction happening in the median,” said Mann. “The outside shoulders were strengthened in addition to the new lanes being added. The team has been performing earthwork, drainage installations and structural work on bridges.”

Covington emphasized the need for the upgrade to I-81.

“Design standards were different back when the interstates were first built,” he said. “Traffic has increased dramatically. Many bridges need work, especially since the national standard for bridge height is now 16 feet, six inches. Bridge hits have become more frequent for the older bridges. When those hits happen, the potential impacts to drivers can be significant because we have to close lanes to make the repairs.”

The project will require approximately 240,000 tons of asphalt and 24,000 cu. yds. of concrete. The contractor team of Archer Western will need to move more than 300,000 cu. yds. of dirt and rock for the work.

The new lanes will be standard asphalt construction with a subgrade and middle layer, topped by an asphalt finish layer. An unusual aspect of the construction is that the mix may include up to 30 percent recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), which is a higher percentage than most states allow. VDOT

see IMPROVE page 92

The team of workers is improving the intersection of the southbound exit 137.

Excavation and earthwork activities are ongoing during the project’s first segment. VDOT estimates that 300,000 cu. yds. of dirt and rock will be moved during the construction.

Hamm Introduces HX Series — New Generation of Rollers

Hamm presents a new generation of pivot-steered tandem rollers: The HX series.

Replacing the previous DV+ series, it is impressive due to intuitive operation with Easy Drive, high performance data, many comfort features and sustainable operation, as well as the "Smart Compact" digital compaction assistant, according to the manufacturer.

Hamm has put many detail improvements, new options and interfaces into practice in the HX series. All models are available in countries with the EPA Tier IV/EU Stage V emissions regulation.

High Degree of Precision

The HX series is the new flagship for the Hamm fleet. Designed for asphalt compaction, the HX 70i model (17,000 lbs. / 55.4 kW) and HX 90i (19.842 lbs. / 74.4 kW) achieve high surface outputs on large construction sites. What’s more, they also impress in tasks such as compaction in curves with a high degree of precision. Here, the pivot steering shows its strengths with a large turning angle, large track offset and four different steering modes.

Intelligent Drive Control With Automatic Reversing

A foundation for high compaction quality is intelligent drive control with automatic reversing. In combination with the electrically adjustable seat operating unit, it guarantees quality and comfort. It brakes and accelerates the rollers quickly, but smoothly.

The seat also turns automatically in the direction of travel when reversing. This is unique in the market, according to the manufacturer. It produces first-class surfaces and ensures ergonomic working with safety at all times.

Improved Field of Vision

New LED turn indicators and details around the cab give the HX series its distinctive design. The fully glazed panoramic cab offers a vastly improved field of vision with an excellent view of the drum edges. Optionally, lighting for drums and drum edges can be added.

A camera system with two robust monitors (IP 67) are integrated as standard to provide optimal vision. Due to division of the screen, views to the front and to the rear are always visible regardless of seat position. Still unique is the cab floor’s glass window for viewing the drums. It can be folded in for cleaning.

Simple Operation, Ergonomics, Comfort

The Easy Drive operating concept combines an ergonomically optimized operator’s platform with the sophisticated operating structure, including language-neutral and selfexplanatory operation for the HX series: Despite the exten-

sive machine functions, operation is intuitive and very quickly learned.

Steering is performed with the steering wheel; all other important functions are operated via a joystick and the multifunction armrest. The position of armrests and tilt angle of the steering column are adjustable — not forgetting an ergonomic step, folding armrests on request and a comfort exit as well as comfort features such as 12 volt and USB sockets, plus many storage compartments.

New Additive Mixing Unit, New Chip Spreaders

A revised dual-circuit additive mixing unit for the combination rollers saves water and increases the range, as the sprinkling system at the front and rear are controlled separately. Water and additive can be sprayed separately or as a mixture.

For spreading surface courses, Hamm has improved chip spreaders in its range for the HX series: The HLS 150 line spreader (200.7 gal.) and HLS 170 line spreader (253.6 gal.), as well as the HDS disc spreader (198.1 gal., spreading width (315 in).

All models have the option for height adjustment. Optionally, an innovative lowering device is available, making installation and removal possible without a forklift truck or crane. The spreaders are operated from the operator’s platform and are fitted with automatically rolling tarpaulins and integrated LED lighting.

Smart Compact Compaction Assistant

The Smart Compact compaction assistant can be used in the rollers of the HX series. The system decides compaction automatically and individually for each drum: Whether to compact with vibration and big or small amplitude, with oscillation, or statically. The driver then only has to enter whether a base, binder or asphalt surface course is to be compacted.

The assistant evaluates data about the condition of the asphalt, optionally incorporating local weather data from an integrated weather station. This means that Hamm is the first manufacturer in the world to automate the separate setting of both drums and is therefore raising process reliability and quality of the compaction and surface to a whole new level, the company said.

Sustainable Compaction, Fuel Savings

The engines work at a lower speed of 1,500 to 2,000 rpm, which reduces fuel consumption as well as noise and exhaust gas emissions. Here, powerful travel pumps ensure high compaction power. Furthermore, the automatic engine stop automatically switches the engine off after an extended period of inactivity.

Smart Compact also contributes towards sustainability. The assistant additionally saves up to 15 percent of fuel by switching off the vibration or oscillation as soon as it is no longer useful. Finally, the rollers can be operated with diesel or HVO fuel.

Modern Solutions for Documentation, Communication, Maintenance

Due to numerous interfaces and the corresponding hardware, the rollers in the HX series are prepared for future applications and challenges — be they quality, documentation or communication challenges. Hamm also offers the option of integrating systems for avoiding collisions with a PDS (proximity detection system) interface.

In addition, the telematic system JDLink is on board in all models, which can be used to call up elements such as performance data for rollers, fill levels, error messages, operating hours or service intervals — any time, anywhere.

Nine Models, Split Drums

The HX series rollers are available with 17,000 lbs. (HX 70i) and 19,842 lbs. (HX 90i) operating weight. Among the nine total versions are models with two vibrating roller drums, an oscillation and a vibrating roller drum as well as combination rollers. Here, the vibration and oscillation drums are made as a split or non-split drum depending on the model.

About CIM

Receiving tremendous support from the concrete industry, the CIM program was the first of its kind in United States — a four-year Bachelor of Science degree in concrete industry management.

Since its humble beginning, the CIM program has expanded and offered at Middle Tennessee State University, California State University, Chico, Texas State University, New Jersey Institute of Technology and South Dakota State University. Today, there are more than 1,500 graduates of the CIM program working in the industry.

The goal of the program is to produce broadly educated, articulate graduates grounded in basic construction management, who are knowledgeable of concrete technology and techniques and can manage people and systems as well as promote products or services related to the concrete industry. It entails a broad range of courses, from English and history to science and mathematics. A series of required business courses such as finance, marketing, management and business law also are taken throughout the length of the program.

The concrete-specific courses teach the fundamentals of concrete, properties and testing, concrete construction and more. All of these courses provide much more than what is simply in the text — they emphasize problem solving, quality assurance and customer satisfaction. They utilize practical case studies and an internship to make sure the student obtains real-world experience essential to starting a successful career.

Additional opportunities include on-campus socials and other events providing industry networking and professional development.

In 2012, an Executive MBA program was added by the CIM National Steering Committee. The CIM Executive MBA is specifically designed for individuals with three or more years of experience in the industry.

The CIM program has, and continues to provide, future leaders for the concrete industry.

Industry Takes ‘Unified Approach’ to Decarbonization

such as the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, modernized to accelerate cement and concrete’s path to carbon neutrality. This would also ensure concrete made with cement remains the sustainable building material of choice, the association maintains.

PCA said its comprehensive approach will allow for the industry to continue aligning with private partners, government, industry and technology leaders on solutions, regulations and policy changes. This effort would result in empowering the industry and others to realize this shared societal mission, according to the organization.

Daunting Journey

“What gives us hope is the fact that there is a big rise in ambition across the industry,” said Radhika Lalit of sustainability consulting firm Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI).

“Companies, corporations, real estate players, anybody who’s constructing new buildings, new ports, new highways, new roads, is looking into these materials.”

She said a coalition of more than 65 corporate buyers, known as the First Movers Coalition, is leveraging the purchasing power of the customers in industries such as cement and concrete.

But to meet the targets of net-zero by 2050, the industry will require some carbon capture in the process, she cautioned.

“It is impossible to fully eliminate process emissions in the cement-making process, and carbon capture will have to remove the remaining CO2,” said Lalit. “We estimate that we need around 20 to 30 carbon capture and storage [CCS] plants in operation by 2030. And we have zero plants with CCS at commercial scale right now.”

Pilot projects are up and running, she said, but the industry currently lacks a plan that uses CCS technology in full-scale operation. “And we are going to need to get to at least 20 within the decade.”

She said many large cement producers are beginning to make investments into CCS and other innovative technologies to reduce their emissions. She is encouraged but is concerned about the lack the speed and scale to fast-track the transition.

“So, I think I’d say we’re cautiously optimistic because we see great momentum, but it is a daunting journey.”

She believes the industry can see the biggest impact in reducing emissions by

focusing on the three Cs: clinker, cement and concrete.

Manufacturers can start by reducing the carbon in the clinker-making process. Limestone is the primary raw material, she said.

“You could use other materials such as calcium silicate, magnesium silicate, steel slag, recycled clinker, mining tailings, crushed concrete waste, as well.”

With machine learning and design software, contractors could utilize less concrete in the laying phase, she believes.

Lalit noted that mineralization startups currently store the CO2 in concrete aggregates.

“Supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash, slag, volcanic ash and calcined clays have little or no associated emissions and can be introduced into the cement blend to replace a portion of clinker,” she said.

Limestone calcined clay cement — calcined clays, limestone, gypsum and clinker — and other innovative cement blends, can “immediately” help reduce carbon emissions by up to 40 percent, she believes.

It would be a cost-effective move that would cause no major changes to the traditional cement plant, she added.

“These innovations are at different technology readiness levels,” Lalit cautioned.

Some of them are in concept states, some of them are in large prototype demonstration stages.

“But the key to solving the decarbonizationchallengefortheindustryisseeingsome

of these innovations achieve commercial success at industrial scale within the next three to five years so that their costs can go down,” Lalit added.

Incentives to Reduce

In January, the New Jersey Low Embodied Carbon Concrete Leadership Act (LECCLA) was signed into law to offer a performance-based tax credit to certain concrete producers.

Chris Neidl, policy consultant of the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC), said the new policy is a state-led approach to eliminating embodied carbon emissions.

This is the first program of its kind in the United States and had overwhelming bi-partisan support, said Neidl.

“Public procurement is the focal point of the policy,” he said, adding that the aim is mobilizing the influence of state agencies as the single largest purchasers of concrete in New Jersey.

It also focuses on the state’s position as lead regulator of specifications, standards and codes related to the material and its use.

“But LECCLA will leverage market dynamics to realize both short- and longterm carbon emissions reductions in this essential industry,” said Neidl. “Beginning in 2024, concrete producers who supply at least 50 yards for state-funded construction projects will be eligible for a performancebased tax credit.”

That credit applies if the concrete also delivers quantifiable reductions in embodied

carbon, said Neidl.

The total amount of tax credits that can be issued each year is $10 million, to be issued on a firstcome-first-served basis. And no single concrete producer can claim more than $1 million in credits per year.

Not only does LECCLA introduceanincentiveforconcreteproducers to overperform, but it can build upon other policy advancements, said Neidl.

For example, low carbon concrete specifications and performance-based specifications have gained hold in New York State.

In South Jordan, Utah, Eco Materials is manufacturing cement using coal waste. The result is a product that lowers carbon emissions by 99 percent.

Several exhibitors at World of Concrete showcased their environmentally sustainable products and processes.

“The gauntlet has been thrown down to be more sustainable and reduce carbon,” said Grant Quasha, Eco Materials CEO, talking to the Las Vegas Review-Journal. “This industry really has to use technology and innovation to meet future challenges and see advancement.”

Improving emissions from making cement will be key to achieving future emission goals.

That’s because cement is the most used material in the world behind water, said Eric Ferrebee, senior director of technical services of the American Concrete and Pavement Association (ACPA).

California startup Brimstone has discovered the world’s first carbon-negative cement, made from calcium silicate rocks.

“We’re just making the same thing from a different rock,” Cody Finke, CEO of the Oakland, Calif.-based company, told CBS News.

He said calcium silicate rocks are approximately 200 times more abundant than the limestone traditionally used to make cement.

Calcium in limestone serves as the binding agent in cement. It also contains the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide.

The industry is working to make concrete cleaner, said Steve Regis, cement operations for the CalPortland Oro Grande Cement Plant in southern California.

Brimstone is trying to quickly scale up its cement-making process. The company believes it will be just as reliable as traditional cement, only cheaper.

“We’re quite confident that the chemistry works and we can make the same material,” Finke said.  CEG

DoosanAdds Next-Generation -7 Series Wheel Excavators

Doosan Infracore North America introduced its next-generation -7 Series wheel excavators: the Doosan DX140W-7, DX190W-7 and DX210W-7.

Each machine is equipped with a balance of power and fuel efficiency to keep operators working productively. The “dash 7” excavators replace the “dash 5” models in the Doosan excavator lineup.

Designed for demanding tasks, the three new Doosan -7 Series wheel excavators deliver powerful digging and maneuverability when working on bridges and roadways or in urban areas. Each machine is equipped with a balance of power and fuel efficiency, along with best-in-class comfort features, intelligent controls and smart machine functionality, to help operators take on their toughest jobsite challenges, the manufacturer said.

“Each day comes with unexpected challenges, so it’s critical that Doosan excavators are equipped with machine features that help our customers take on whatever comes their way,” said Joel Escalante, senior product specialist.

“With our new wheel excavators, customers can achieve powerful digging and more maneuverability, all while reducing fuel consumption. We’ve also enhanced the excavator cab with additional comfort features and now offer an allaround view monitor camera system for even better visibility of the job site.”

Powerful Digging, Maneuverability

Equipped with superior hydraulics, the redesigned wheel excavators deliver the powerful digging force needed to move and lift more material with each cycle. A one-touch power boost feature can be enabled to help amplify hydraulic power for digging in tough material.

The new -7 Series wheel excavators have a modular design that allows owners to easily configure the machine’s undercarriage to level, backfill material with the front dozer blade or stabilize the machine when digging. Owners can choose from four independent outriggers or a front dozer blade and independent rear outriggers.

Doosan wheel excavators are often used in highway and street development, building, manufacturing operations, site development and land improvement. For example, a wheel excavator customer can drive on the shoulder of a road to dig in an adjacent ditch or use a bucket with a hydraulic thumb or tiltrotator to pick up materials and load them into a truck for disposal.

Maximize Productivity, Fuel Consumption With Smart Technologies

The redesigned wheel excavators feature smart technologies such as Smart Power Control (SPC) to improve machine efficiency while maintaining productivity through variable speed control and pump torque control. Each of the four power modes will function with SPC engaged or disengaged; however, SPC is only active in the digging work mode.

Four work modes, auto idle, auto shutoff and machine diagnostics help wheel excavator owners manage their fuel costs. In addition, each machine is equipped with engine auto shutdown to save fuel and help lower warranty hours.

Improved Visibility, Comfort

The redesigned Doosan wheel excavator models are built for all-day operator comfort with features to reduce noise and vibration. The cab offers more floor space, automotivestyle heating and air conditioning and excellent visibility

through the front, rear and overhead windows.

Inside the cab is an optional deluxe air-suspension seat that is heated and cooled, ergonomically designed joystick controls and a new user-friendly, 8-in. Smart Touch screen.

The multilingual Doosan Smart Touch screen, standard on -7 Series excavators, displays important settings and information on one screen. From the easy-to-read touch screen, operators can monitor critical machine functions and control machine settings, rearview camera, heating and cooling, radio and Bluetooth wireless technology.

All-Around View Monitoring (AVM) System

The optional 360-degree all-around view monitoring (AVM) camera system displays a full view of the machine’s surroundings, giving operators greater confidence when operating or positioning the machine in tight work areas. Five unique visual perspectives can be seen from the separate AVM monitor: top view, rear view, top+right view, rear+corner view and 3D view.

The AVM camera system can be linked with optional

The DX140W-7, which replaces the DX140W-5, has a maximum digging depth of 14 ft. 8 in.

The DX190W-7, which replaces the DX190W-5, has a maximum digging reach (ground) of 29 ft.8 in. see DOOSAN page 80

Tough to beat for performance, safety, comfort and easy of use.

Better? It’s something we all strive for. But to be better you must be efficient. Be productive. Be versatile. Be dependable. And you need equipment that supports you every step of the way, no matter how big or small the task. Because good enough is never good enough.

Cat 352 Hydraulic Excavator Excels On Largest Jobs

The 352 excavator offers a choice of fixed or variable gauge undercarriage. The variable gauge undercarriage retracts to a 7-ft. 10-in. width, making it much easier to transport. When expanded, it is 6 in. wider than the fixed gauge undercarriage for greater stability.

The new Cat 352 hydraulic excavator combines more power and a heavier counterweight to work with larger tools. The result is greater production for more profit potential.

“Built for big jobs, the 352 delivers unmatched performance in its size class,” said Brian Abbott, Caterpillar global product manager of large hydraulic excavators. “It can be equipped with high-capacity buckets to dig and load tons of material in fewer passes or large hammers to work in demanding quarry applications.”

BUZZED DRIVING IS DRUNK DRIVING

Maxner Excels at Excavation, Trucking, Snow Removal

aware of that actually rotates.As far as I’mconcerned,it’sthebestsnowpusher on the market and a real labor saver.

“Another great tool that we purchased from Westchester Tractor and we use year-round in the landscaping and snow removal business is a pair of New Holland L320 skid steers. We equipped them with cab heat and airconditioning. New Holland has a great reputation in skid steers.”

The most recent significant purchase that Maxner Landscaping made was a Kobelco SK 210 excavator equipped with a thumb and a 4,000-lb. hammer. Maxner is about to tackle a significant site project and the Kobelco with its hammer is perfectly sized for the project.

Over the years in acquiring his fleet of equipment from Westchester Tractor, Maxner dealt almost exclusively with Frank Labarbera. There is a lifetime of trust between the two individuals — after Labarbera graduated from college he worked for Maxner’s father for a short while, along with Maxner. The two men also had grown up as neighbors.

“Frank is not the only reason that I have a lifetime of loyalty to Westchester Tractor,” Maxner said. “When I bought my first piece of equipment, I didn’t have any credit. John Apple, who owned the company, actually personally co-signed for me to get my first

piece of equipment. Nobody does that. There’s a chance I wouldn’t be where I am today without that act of faith John had in me.

“It’s not just the experience we have with Westchester Tractor on the front of the sale

that keeps us coming back. It’s also the experience on the back end of the sale; the support we receive after the sale.

“There’s a transition happening now. Frank is retiring and we have a new sales rep coming in, Dennis Gallagher Sr. I suspect this is also going to be a good experience. Dennis has worked for many years on the service side of Westchester Tractor, so I look forward to getting his insight on what equipment to buy from his mechanical aspect and his help with support after the sale.”

When asked about the future of his business Maxner said, “I really don’t want to grow this business much more than it is right now. COVID changed how I look at a lot of things. It changed a lot of my priorities and getting help has become almost impossible. We have been very fortunate with the employees that we do have. They have become like friends and family.”  CEG

SERIOUS POWER IN A SMALLER PACKAGE

The New RT-50 Track Loader boasts a greater performance-to-weight ratio than any machine in its class, so you can get more power in tight areas than ever before. Powered by a 50-horsepower class diesel, 3-cylinder, turbo charged YANMAR 3TN engine, the RT-50 touts a 1,400-pound rated operating capacity while coming in at just 5,180 pounds. Not to mention the industry’s lowest ground pressure and the ability to be towed behind a ½-ton pick-up truck. This small machine packs an impressive punch for contractors, homeowners, or rental customers.

Contractor Purchases Site as Laydown, Storage Area

studies have shown that this percentage of RAP results in large cost savings with the roads performing well.

Mays and his team are complying with regulations and working to minimize erosion and protect wetlands.

“We took an unusual step of purchasing a 75-acre site to as a laydown and storage area,” said Mays. “This property is an abandoned mine site with open environmental permit violations. We will use surplus material from the project to rectify the permit violations.”

Long-Lasting Bridges

VDOT wants the new bridges to last a long time. With that goal in mind, Archer Western has been aggressive about keeping water away from sensitive bridge elements by using jointless bridge technology.

“We also are trying to protect the bridges from the corrosion of salt treatments that are used in the winter,” said Mays. “In addition,

we tested the surrounding soils and determined that some areas were highly acidic and have taken measures to design foundations that will resist these soils over time.”

Sometimes more expensive components can end up costing VDOT less in the long term.

“For some of the steel elements we are using stainless steel, which can be two to three times more expensive as regular steel,”

said Mays. “But we know it will give the bridges a longer life.”

Archer Wester proposed several innovations that will enhance safety and reduce congestion.

“We are planning to use message boards to alert drivers about incidents or work zones that will affect their travel,” said Mays. “Other message boards have been installed to alert drivers before entering I-81 so they

can take alternate routes if necessary.”

Safety remains paramount to VDOT and contractors on projects of this nature.

“We are committed to maintain a paved shoulder to facilitate emergency vehicle response during incidents,” said Covington. Archer Western supports this approach and also has a dedicated safety manager on site.

With construction at an estimated 20 percent completion, the team can look forward to the positive impact this project and the ones to follow on I-81 will have for drivers.

“Widening this interstate to three lanes in each direction will be a dramatic change for drivers,” said Covington. “Drivers are more comfortable when they have more space. This completed work will mean less congestion, which will keep traffic moving safely and more reliably.”

Workers are securing trenches to build proper drainage for the new lanes.

Contractors work to widen the bridge at exit 137 on I-81.

The project will require 240,000 tons of asphalt and 24,000 cu. yds. of concrete for the new lanes and bridges.

Construction of Tour Center Begins Soon

Construction of a new two-story Gettysburg Tour Center on Baltimore Pike in the historic southern Pennsylvania town is expected to begin in mid-February, the Gettysburg Times reported Jan. 31.

After the current facility at 778 Baltimore St. is demolished, completion of the new building on the same footprint should “coincide with the start of the 2024 tourist season,” owner Max Felty told the Times.

The project is “an upgrade to an iconicGettysburglandmark”wherethebusinesshasbeenoperatingformorethan60 years, he said.

Nearby is the site of the climactic battle of the Civil War, where over three days, July 1 to 3, 1863, the forces of the Union Army, under Maj. Gen. George Meade, defeated the Confederate Army, commanded by Gen. Robert E. Lee, in what is still the largest land conflict in North American history. It involved 180,000 troops on both sides, resulting in a combined 51,000 casualties. The outcome also led to the eventual collapse of the Confederacy.

Four months later, another iconic event occurred in the small town when President Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address at the dedication of

what is now known as the Gettysburg National Cemetary, next to the battlefield.

Existing Tour Center Building Out of Date

For decades, the blue and gray double-decker buses that shuttle visitors around the hauntingly beautiful and sprawling battleground have been a regular sight on the roads in and around Gettysburg.

Ever since the buses started running in the 1950s, the tours have begun and ended at the Gettysburg Tour Center on Baltimore Street. Later, the company moved into a manufactured cabin structure.

Despite additions over the years, the building lacks a foundation and has various other needs, prompting the decision to replace the structure with one offering “more square footage, greater use of space, energy efficiency, and handicapped visitor accessibility,” Felty explained.

The Times noted an earlier upgrade was planned for the facility in the early 2000s but was put on hold due to the National Park Service’s construction of the Gettysburg National Military Park Visitor Center in 2008, although the two

centers are not affiliated.

Now, Felty said he feels “the timing is right for reinvestment into [both Gettysburg Tour Center] and the town. The positive return of visitation after our worst year ever in 2020 [due to COVID19] has given me confidence that Gettysburg will remain a popular destination for travelers well into the future.

“Plans for the Baltimore Street Revitalization Project have further inspired me to do my part to make sure that the first thing visitors see as they enter the borough of Gettysburg is a welcoming, attractive building situated to guide visitors to a world class experience when visiting Gettysburg,” he continued.

Plans for the new tour center follow several years of analysis and planning with Buchart Horn Inc., an engineering and architectural firm in York, Pa., Felty added. The general contractor is ECI Construction in Dillsburg.

While the Gettysburg Tour Center is under construction, according to the Times, the company’s retail and ticketing operations are to move across the street to 777 Baltimore St., Suite 100. Departures are to be from the temporary location as well as the existing parking lot.

JLG Industries Inc. Completes Its NewAcquisition of Hinowa

JLG Industries Inc., a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has completed its acquisition of Hinowa S.p.A., adding the market-leading brand to the company’s Access segment.

This expansion of the JLG product portfolio enables the company to strengthen its specialty applications offerings and increase its presence in niche industries, including agricultural, landscape and vegetation management.

Founded in 1987 in Nogara, Italy, Hinowa became well-known in the industry for its innovative track designs and as an early adopter and leader in the advancement of lithium-ion battery technology in mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs). Hinowa’s 200-plus team members and two facilities, a 250,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility and a 50,000 sq. ft. parts facility, are now part of the Oshkosh Corporation Access segment,

and the Hinowa brand will be retained on its line of track-based aerial work platforms, mini dumpers, lift trucks and undercarriages products.

JLG-branded compact crawler booms, which Hinowa has produced since 2010 and includes electric-, hybrid- and diesel-powered models, will continue to be offered.

“The acquisition was about growing the company and growing our capabilities,” said Frank Nerenhausen, Oshkosh executive vice president and JLG president. “JLG and Hinowa are both strong brands. Joining forces allows us to unlock more potential globally. This is a very positive time for the business, and we are excited to welcome the Hinowa team to the JLG family.”

Hinowa’s products, including a JLGbranded compact crawler boom lift, will be on display in booth #W44066 at ConExpoCon/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas, March 14-18. For more information, visit JLG.com. 
