Ten Projects Will Have Major D.C. Impact

Rendering via Building Bridges Across the River

Once complete, the elevated landscape of the 11th Street Bridge Park will connect Washington’s Anacostia and Navy Yard neighborhoods with an amphitheater and public plaza, along with public art; a hammock grove; a kayak and canoe launch area; as well as an environmental education center staffed by the Anacostia Watershed Society.

Washington, D.C., is not the same city it was 10 years ago, and it will not be the same in the coming years either. Along with the rest of the nation, the District has made, and continues to make, substantial changes to its cityscape.

WTOP News recently compiled a list of 10

large or otherwise notable projects that are likely to have a major impact on the city and those who live and work in the area in 2023 and beyond.

The research for the all-news radio station’s overview, released Dec. 30, was released in a report created by the Washington, D.C.,

Economic Partnership (WDCEP), a nonprofit public-private organization whose purpose is to promote and support economic development and business opportunities in the District.

Playing Nice With OSHA

How to Avoid Fines for Jobsite Violations, What to Do If You Are Cited

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Department of Labor opened the year with an increase in the cost of penalties for employer violations. This means not only the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, but the Employee Benefits Security Administration, Wage and Hour Division and Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs are all under the fee-hike umbrella. So is OSHA.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s maximum penalty increases include more than $15,000 per violation for serious, other-thanserious and posting requirement violations.

Montauk Point Revetment to FinishAhead of Schedule

The new 874-ft.-tall stone revetment at Montauk Point on New York’s easternmost tip of Long Island will be completed six months ahead of schedule but with many more boulders than were originally budgeted.

The placement of stones for the revetment was “substantially completed at the end of December,” James D’Ambrosio, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) public affairs specialist, told the East Hampton Star in a late January email. Originally, the project was slated to finish later this fall.

All the stones were set in place after being hauled piecemeal over the Throgs Neck Bridge in The Bronx from quarries in Connecticut and upstate New York during construction. The remaining work at Montauk Point includes site cleanup, staging area restoration and planting new vegetation on the now-barren site that is all but empty save for a few looming pieces of heavy equipment and a small pile of excess boulders.

The rocks are secured along two long rows that make up the revetment, the East Hampton news outlet noted, and over ones previously installed.

Revetment Also Protects Historic Lighthouse

It has been a long and rocky road to save the Montauk Lighthouse from the ravages

of erosion at the point, according to Greg Donahue, the Montauk Historical Society’s lighthouse liaison, who oversaw a much smaller-scale boulder-installation project in the 1980s.

“It’s been a very long, long 34 years to get to where we are,” he said.

Donahue’s work followed the groundbreaking work undertaken in 1970 by legendary preservationist Giorgina Reid, who spent much of the ’70s physically terracing the cliff in front of the old World War II lookout tower that stands in front of the Montauk Lighthouse and installing native plants to hold the earth in place.

The lighthouse, commissioned by President George Washington in 1792 and completed in November 1796, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a National Landmark, due to the efforts of formerGov.AndrewCuomo.Thelatterdesignation was critical to getting federal dollars devoted to preserving the iconic tower over the last 50 years.

Atthetimeitwasbuilt,therewasapproximately 300 ft. between the Atlantic Ocean and the tower; by the time Reid started her work, the bluff upon which the lighthouse sat became increasingly less stable over the years, and that distance had decreased to approximately 50 ft.

Donohue said he marks Earth Day 1970 as the starting date for efforts to keep the lighthouse from slipping into the sea.

USACE identified the Montauk Point project as in need of a new 800-ft.-plus revetment back in 2005 and said the work was critical to “avoid the eventual total loss of the irreplaceable historic lighthouse complex.”

Following Superstorm Sandy in 2012, environmental assessments began at the lighthousesite,aprocessthattookfiveyears to complete. When it came time to find the funding, Donohue explained, leftover money from the $60 billion sent to New York to respond to damage from Superstorm Sandy was set aside for the revetment.

He told the Star that thanks to USACE and its contractor on the job, H&L Contracting in Hauppauge, N.Y., the work undertaken at Montauk Point guarantees that the Montauk Lighthouse “is not going anywhere for hundreds of years.”

Donahue noted that H&L’s role was the actual stone-setting, while the USACE had the responsibility of engineering and managing a $30.7 million project whose final budget is sure to be higher when the final costs are tallied.

H&Lalso had to complete other ancillary work during the project, he told the Star.

“They only got paid to set the stones, but there was lots of repaving of the road that they had to do that was not in the original contract,” he claimed. “The road would get washed out by waves, prompting H&L to

spend about $3.4 million on an excavator and road-building machine.”

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation put up $15.4 million for the project. The Montauk Historical Society, which owns the lighthouse, will pay for site maintenance when construction is complete.

Project Required Twice as Many Boulders as Planned

The Montauk Point project called for 65,900 tons of boulders — granite from New York’s Adirondack region and pink granite from Connecticut — but the final amount reached 120,000 tons, Donohue noted. About 570 tons are still on site and may wind up being used to shore up an exposed and vulnerable area of the Lake Montauk inlet.

During the revetment construction, H&L also hoisted a World War II-era bunker that the U.S. Coast Guard had reportedly pushed down the cliff when it became a safety hazard. It will now be a feature on the lighthouse grounds.

TheMontaukHistoricalSocietyownsthe Montauk Lighthouse, runs the museum inside the facility — the historical Fresnel lens is a favorite attraction — and manages the grounds. The Coast Guard has authority over the low-maintenance beacon in the lighthouse cupola that still provides navigational guidance to ships at sea. 

Cleveland Brothers Builds Unique Demolition Machine

Like most excavators, a variety of attachments are occasionally used with the Cat 6015 to leverage the machine’s robust design and massive hydraulic power. However, in 2022, Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co. Inc. partnered with its customer Independence Excavating (DiGeronimo Companies, Independence, Ohio) and took these capabilities to the next level.

By combining the Cat 6015 with a Fortress 145FS Series mobile shear, and extending the working range of the machine with a custom-designed and built Pierce Pacific three-piece boom/stick, the Cleveland Brothers team was able to create a one-of-a-kind demolition machine capable of tearing down, wrecking, cutting and processing the harshest materials in the most difficult to reach places.

Independence Excavating’s Demolition Maintenance Manager, Ryan Lebeau, visited the Cleveland Brothers Murrysville, Pa., facility for the unique machine’s very first

test run: cutting apart and processing an old concrete trailer slated to be scrapped.

“This machine produces over 300 gallons per minute in hydraulic flow at the end

of the stick, resulting in a 10-second cycle time for our shear,” he said. “Its performance is impressive.”

LeBeau said that his team chose to part-

ner with Cleveland Brothers because of their close relationship and previous experience purchasing Cat 6015s from them.

“About 85 percent of our fleet is Cat machines,” he said. “Because we have contracts across the country, the nationwide serviceability and parts that Cat [Caterpillar] offers are key.”

This build concept was crafted with the demolition of decommissioned power plants and steel mills as it’s intended use. As projects come up, Lebeau said the machine will most likely be traveling the United States.

“The Independence Excavating team is excited that we were able to work with Cleveland Brothers to build this.” Lebeau said. “It’s going to continue to put us in a league of our own. Pushing the limits of the machine through innovation is how we set ourselves apart from other demolition companies.”

DelDOT Plans to Keep Road Open as It Replaces Bridge

The replacement of the Delaware Highway 54 bridge, connecting the mainland to Fenwick Island, was the subject of a public workshop in the beach town on Jan. 31

During the forum, the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) presented plans and timelinesforabridgereplacementproject along Del. 54/Lighthouse Road in Fenwick Island, a community at the southeastern tip of the state along the Atlantic Ocean.

The Ocean City Dispatch reported Feb. 1 that while the work is expected to take place over the course of two years, Nick Dean, the project manager for the transportation agency, said travelers should expect minimal disruptions.

“The way we’re going to handle it is instead of full detours, we’re going to build it in phases,” he told the news outlet in Ocean City, Md., just south of Fenwick Island. “So, in theory, you won’t feel the effects too much.”

Dean explained that the existing bridge is nearing the end of its useful service life, and with several large cracks and exposed reinforcement, DelDOTis looking to replace the bridge entirely.

“We’ve pretty much done everything we can from a rehabilitation standpoint to extend the life of the bridge,” he said.

“Unfortunately, it’s in a corrosive environment with things like tidal water and Jet Ski spray which has exacerbated the deterioration.”

DelDOT to Focus On Building One Half at a Time

Dean and other DelDOT representatives presented Fenwick Island community memberswithplansforaconstructionprojectthat would start in the fall of 2024 and end in May 2026. Dean noted, while adding that

work would pause during the summer months when tourist season is at its height.

“We’re going to eliminate half the [current bridge’s] spans and double the span length, so it’s going to go from 40 ft. to 80 ft.,” he explained. “It will open up that waterway a little bit, so it should be better for navigation and recreation.”

During the first phase of construction, DelDOT’s crews will construct a temporary sidewalk and modify the existing layout to support two lanes of traffic before starting demolition and construction of the first half of the bridge. During the second phase, traffic will shift to the newly built portion of the bridge while the second half is demolished and rebuilt.

“There will be some impacts, obviously, because we are working in a construction zone,” Dean said in speaking to the Dispatch. “But the idea is we’re going to maintain two lanes while building the first half of the bridge. Then once May rolls around, and its beach season, we’ll pause. Once the season ends, we’ll pick back up and shift traffic onto the new part of the bridge and demo the remaining [structure],

build the second half, and tie them together.”

Simply put, the good news for Fenwick Island residents, merchants, and beachgoers is Del. 54 and the bridge will stay open throughoutthecourseofthework,according to the Ocean City news source.

“With businesses on two corners, a property owner on the other corner, and utilities that straddle each side, the [bridge] site constraints are a bit difficult,” Dean said. “We are also trying to navigate the beach traffic.

“The solution we came up with does allow for normal traffic in both directions to be maintained,” he continued. “Our hope there, while we’re in construction season, is that delays will be minimal. And obviously once we leave during the beach season traffic should return to normal.”

Dean said the recent workshop marked the first step in the public input process as DelDOT continues through the design and planning phase.

“If anyone sees something and they have questions or concerns, they can reach out and we can hopefully alleviate those concerns,” he said.

Dean noted that design plans and contact information about the Del. 54 bridge replacement project can be found on the DelDOT website at www.deldot.gov.

“We’re going to eliminate half the [current bridge’s] spans and double the span length…”

SEI Conducts Asphalt Paving, Maintenance Workshop

Stephenson Equipment Inc. (SEI) invited paving contractors from Philadelphia and surrounding areas to take part in a “hands on” learning opportunity for LeeBoy and Bomag equipment on Feb. 15.

The purpose of the Asphalt Paving and Maintenance Workshop, held at SEI’s facility in Prospect Park, Pa., was to not only showcase equipment from the two manufacturers but also to discuss service, parts and rentals at the dealership. LeeBoy named SEI its top U.S. dealer in 2022.

“This is our first event in Prospect Park [Pa.] and we just finished up our first year with being the LeeBoy dealer for this area,” said Mark Myers, CE group manager, SEI. “We’ve been holding these paving seminars for a number of years at our other branch locations. They are quite beneficial. We don’t use it as a sales pitch, it’s more directed toward service, maintenance, operations and more to help contractors with their paving operations. So, now, with having the LeeBoy line here, we want to offer the same to our customer base down in this area, as well.”

SEI is the LeeBoy dealer of all of Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, northern West Virginia and upstate New York.

During the event, SEI set up three workshop stations: two for LeeBoy pavers and one for Bomag compaction equipment.

Ronnie Hoffman, paving and customer support specialist of SEI, led a paver maintenance presentation on a LeeBoy 8500E paver. At another station, Jim Harkins of LeeBoy led a presentation on paver operation using a LeeBoy 7000C paver. He discussed all aspects of a paving job from planning of the job to laying the material down, talking about jobsite safety, screed operations, proper setup and more. And at the Bomag station, Tom Scalia, factory support representative of Bomag, discussed best

practices of compaction, including rolling techniques and principles.

For guests, SEI provided donuts, coffee in the morning and a barbecue lunch catered by Mission BBQ.

Jeff Tulish, vice president of SEI, summed up the importance of the company holding events such as these for local contractors.

“I think the headline here is that with the addition of LeeBoy in Philadelphia, we are continuing with the practice of adding value at the dealership for our customer base with education and training,” he said. “We see a lot of benefit and anytime we have the chance that our customers are in-house under our roof is always good for relationship-building,” added Myers. “We introduce our managers, rental team  CEG

JudgeAllowsInterstate81WorkinSyracuse to Proceed, But Blocks Viaduct Removal

Best Line Equipment AcquiresChesapeake Supply & Equipment

Best Line Equipment announced the acquisition of the assets and location of Chesapeake Supply & Equipment in Jessup, Md.

This acquisition marks Best Line Equipment’s 14th equipment location in three different states and its first in the Baltimore / Washington D.C. market.

Best Line brings a reputation as a multiyear Top 100 Best Places to Work employer in Pennsylvania and intends to use best practices, top industry pay and industry-leading benefits to the state of Maryland, the company said.

At the time of purchase on Jan. 6, 2023, all employees were invited and decided to join the Best Line team. At the same time, advertisements have been placed for additional sales, service technicians, professional drivers, customer service representatives and management.

Chesapeake’s success in recent years has been providing heavy construction equipment, Genesis and LaBounty demolition and forestry-oriented attachments, and Crafco and Etnyre asphalt equipment.

A judge’s order Feb. 14 has allowed work to continue on Syracuse, N.Y.’s $2.25 billion Interstate 81 project, but state transportation officials must also complete further environmental reviews before demolishing the highway’s viaduct through the city.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Gerard Neri issued the decision in response to a lawsuit by Renew 81 for All, a group led by former Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler, and included suburban towns and others who oppose replacing the I-81 viaduct with a “community grid” of city streets.

Syracuse’s downtown viaduct is scheduled to be removed in three years, and Neri’s ruling will not immediately delay the project, according to the Post-Standard.

The judge agreed with Renew 81 that the environmental review of the project was incomplete. Among other details, he said the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) must account for traffic that will come from Micron Technology’s planned chip factory in Clay, a Syracuse suburb, which is expected to bring a surge of population growth to the area.

Neri also ordered the state to study the potential for new air pollution along the suburban route of I-481 if the viaduct is removed and traffic diverts to that freeway.

But none of the potential environmental impacts would occur unless the viaduct is torn down, Neri decided. For that reason, he agreed to allow state contractors to continue work on designing the project and augmenting I-481.

Syracuse city officials, who had joined the state in defending the project, said the judge’s decision could delay the project by creating uncertainty over the eventual outcome of another environmental review.

“The decision creates uncertainty and overrides a comprehensive and established state and federal regulatory process,” said Greg Loh, the city’s chief policy officer. “[Syracuse] is considering how it will proceed and will confer with [NYSDOT] relative to this matter.”

NYSDOT Lines Up Impressive Team of Contractors

the viaduct and reroute traffic to I-481 last year, following 14 years of study that included a nine-year-long environmental review process.

NYSDOT awarded the first of several construction contracts in January. The state comptroller approved a $296.4 million contract with Salt City Contractors LLC, a joint venture. The team includes Richmondville, N.Y.’s Lancaster Development and Flushing-based Tully Construction, doing business as L&T Construction, as well as D.A. Collins Construction Co., in Wilton, N.Y., and Cold Spring Construction Co., from Akron. N.Y.

Neri’s decision allows work to go ahead under the first three of eight contracts to be awarded for the I-81 project, with completion expected by 2025. They include improvements to the I-481 interchange near Lyndon Corners, work on the I-81 interchanges north and south of the viaduct, and rehabilitation of local streets on Syracuse’s North Side.

Renew 81 Proposed Sky Bridge to Replace Viaduct

The Post-Standard reported that last October, Renew 81 sued to prevent the project from going forward, arguing that NYSDOT officials did not seriously consider alternatives to the community grid. They asserted that the state’s environmental review had underplayed the potential for added air pollution, traffic jams and other issues if the I-81 viaduct was removed.

As an alternative, Renew 81 advocated building a “sky bridge” to replace the I-81 viaduct, an idea that state transportation officials rejected as unworkable, according to the Syracuse news source.

It was not immediately clear whether Neri’s order would be appealed by either side. Officials at the state attorney general’s office were still reviewing the decision Feb. 14, a spokesperson said.

Alan Knauf, the lead attorney for Renew 81, said he was generally pleased with the judge’s latest ruling.

“We are pleased that Judge Neri has agreed with us that the state needs to go back to the drawing board and rethink this project in light of traffic, air quality and other defects,” Knauf told the Post-Standard. “This time around, [NYSDOT] should come to the conclusion that I-81 needs to exist in the city of Syracuse.” 

“We intend to keep Chesapeake’s established brands while adding Doosan heavy equipment and JLG access equipment as our large dealership-oriented brands,” said Adam Houseknecht, president of Best Line Equipment. “Like most of our other locations, we intend to lead the market in construction and industrial equipment rentals while also serving the market by providing dealership-oriented equipment for sale, service and parts.”

This acquisition allows Best Line to serve its long-term strategic goal of stability first and growth second. While considering Chesapeake as a partner for growth, it immediately became clear when it was understood its stability in the market and customers it has served for more than 85 years. Moreover, several Best Line locations exist within one and a half hours. Jessup, Md., is within immediate reach of extra equipment and mechanical support.

Armand Cencetti, vice president of sales at Best Line, said, “We are very excited to have the opportunity to have a larger footprint to serve our existing customers. We also want to connect with existing Doosan heavy equipment customers without a dealer for the past few years. Increasing the continuity of Best Line and Doosan’s covered territory will give our existing and new customers a better experience.”

Notable Projects to Transform Washington,D.C.’sCityscape

PROJECTS from page 1

Reunion Square

struction, with an estimated completion late next fall.

At 4000 Wisconsin Ave. NW in the Cathedral Heights neighborhood, the project will transform an office building formerly occupied by Fannie Mae into a mixed-use destination with 689 multi-family residences topping about 100,000 sq. ft. of retail space, in addition to a new Lidl grocery store.

Of the residences, 455 will be apartments in the six-story East Tower, and another 234 units will encompass the eightstory West Tower. A total of 65 affordable apartments will also be made available by the development group Donohue Development/AIMCO.

Amenities will include a fitness center, rooftop entertainment space, outdoor cooking areas, two pools and a coworking space. A below-grade parking garage will house 825 spaces.

Once complete, Reunion Square will offer approximately 950,000 sq. ft. of office space, 130,000 sq. ft. of retail and 480 multi-family residences.

The multi-phase Reunion Square project on 7th Street NWinWashington’sAnacostia neighborhood spans a whopping 1.5 million sq. ft. on 8 acres of land. Once complete, it will offer approximately 950,000 sq. ft. of office space, 130,000 sq. ft. of retail and 480 multi-family residences.

Its first phase, at 2235 Shannon Place, was finished in 2014 and now serves as the headquarters for D.C.’s Office of Lottery and Charitable Games, and the Department of ForHire Vehicles. The next phase, at 2201 Shannon, is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2023 as the headquarters for the D.C. Health department.

In an interview with WTOP, Chad Shuskey, vice president of programs atWDCEP, noted that Reunion Square is a good example of how the District sees its agencies as good “anchors” for developments.

Four Points/Curtis Development is the joint venture developing Reunion Square.

Upton Place

“Upton Place is kind of an example of the city … adapting to the current market,” since the site previously housed an office building, but will soon be a mix of residential and retail space, Shuskey said.

Waterfront Station II

The Upton Place project will transform an office building formerly occupied by Fannie Mae into a mixed-use destination with 689 multi-family residences topping about 100,000 sq. ft. of retail space, in addition to a new Lidl grocery store.

The 12-story, 400,000-sq.-ft. Waterfront Station II will serve Washington’s Southwest Waterfront with a mix of retail and residences, as well as a performing arts/theater space, and the D.C.-based early childhood education provider AppleTree School.

Another project slated to be ready for occupancy at the end of 2023 is Waterfront Station II, at 1000 4th Street SW. The 12-story, 400,000-sq.-ft. building will serve Washington’s Southwest Waterfront with a mix of retail and residences, as well as a performing arts/theater space, and the D.C.-based early childhood education provider AppleTree School.

As far as housing, the project will offer 449 rentals with 136 affordable units. Half those affordable apartments will be set aside for households earning less than 30 percent of the area median income.

Shuskey said the planned performing arts/theater space will be a nice complement to the other arts spaces in the neighborhood, such as Arena Stage and The Anthem.

The developers for Waterfront Station II include Hoffman &Associates, CityPartners,Affordable Housing Developers, Paramount Development Corp., and D.C.’s Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED).

Spanning about 6 acres with two million sq. ft. of space, this mixed-use project directly south of Audi Field at 101 V St. SW in Buzzard Point will include 2,000 multi-family residences; 80,000 sq. ft. of retail; two hotels; 250,000 sq. ft. of office space; and a 15,000-sq.ft. park.

Spanning about 6 acres with two million sq. ft. of space, this mixed-use project directly south of Audi Field at 101 V St. SW in Buzzard Point will include 2,000 multi-family residences, 80,000 sq. ft. of retail, two hotels, 250,000 sq. ft. of office space and a 15,000-sq.-ft. park. Up to 10 percent of the residences at The Stacks will be dedicated to affordable housing.

Another key part of the development is a pedestrian-only road, dubbed “The Corso,” that will run from Audi Field to the Anacostia River waterfront.

“The Buzzard Point area is going to be kind of the next wave of development” for the Southwest quadrant of Washington, Shuskey told WTOP News, adding that The Stacks is one big example of that wave.

The first phase of the project should be ready in 2025, he said.

Akridge/National Real Estate Development is the group building The Stacks.

Crews Begin Demolition of Venerable RFK Stadium

PROJECTS from page 24

With an estimated delivery in either 2024 or 2025, Skyland Town Center, at 2834 Alabama Ave. SE, has been dubbed “the first town center development in Southeast D.C.” by Washington-based developer WC Smith.

The project is a mixed-use development that was stalled for several years, but has since made great progress as the first two phases of the Skyland Town Center are already complete.ALidl opened at the site in September, and a CVS Pharmacy and Starbucks are already open. Other tenants include three restaurants and a café.

The third and final phase, however, should remain a hot topic. In December, Washington Business Journal reported that the final phase is getting a residential makeover, with Rappaport/WC Smith planning to seek a modification to their planned-unit development to allow for 126 townhomes on the northernmost part of the site. The parcel of land also would feature a 75-unit senior center with 10,000 sq. ft. of retail.

Once complete, the entire development will total 18.5 acres, making it one of the largest real estate projects ever in a D.C. neighborhood east of the Anacostia River, WTOP News noted.

an environmental education center staffed by the Anacostia Watershed Society.

The entire bridge park will be the length of three football fields and built on the existing piers that held the former 11th Street Bridge. It is expected to be complete in 2025.

This will be the District’s first elevated public park, Shuskey told WTOP News, adding that the local nonprofit Building Bridges Across the River and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) have engaged with the community to mitigate any impact the project could have on the surrounding communities.

Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium

The D.C. government is currently revitalizing the longabandoned, 346-acre St. Elizabeth’s hospital campus in the Congress Heights neighborhood of Ward 8, and there is a lot to anticipate about this project, located at 1100AlabamaAve. SE

In July, a groundbreaking was held to build Sycamore & Oak, a 22,000-sq.-ft. community-led “interim” retail space near the new Entertainment and Sports Arena (ESA). Eight Ward 8-based businesses — including restaurants, retail outlets and artistic spaces — will eventually operate there.

The apartment community on the campus, called the Residences at St. Elizabeths East, was completed in 2019 with 252 units, 202 of which are affordable. Amenities include a fitness center, clubroom, secured parking, a playground and outdoor grilling area.

Washington Business Journal reported that WhitmanWalker Health is set to establish a 116,000-sq.-ft. health center on the southern edge of the campus, with an estimated completion later this year.The building will house a pharmacy on the ground floor.

The developer behind this project is Redbrick.

In December, the Journal also noted that Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development selected a development team led by The Menkiti Group to construct a headquarters office up to 225,000 sq. ft. in size for the District’s Department of Behavioral Health.

In December 2022, venerable RFK Stadium, east of Capitol Hill in the Kingman Park neighborhood, received heartfelt goodbyes from city leaders and sports luminaries. The venue opened in 1961 as D.C. Stadium before being renamed in 1969 in honor of the assassinated NewYork senator.

If all goes according to plan, the former NFL and Major League Baseball stadium will be demolished in 2023.

Following that, the options under consideration for the 190-acre site include a new NFL stadium, an indoor 20,000seat arena, or an open-air multi-purpose space. Several local lawmakers, including D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, believe the site is best suited for the next Washington Commanders football stadium, although some D.C. council members and locals think otherwise.

One of the nation’s grandest museums, the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum at 600 Independence Ave. SW in downtown Washington, has been undergoing a massive renovation to its exterior and all 23 exhibition spaces since 2018.

The seven-year-long project was designed as a two-part effort, with the first phase completed last October, when eight new galleries were opened to the public in the building’s west wing.

Plans call for the second phase to finish in 2025.

11th Street Bridge Park

Since winning a design competition in 2014, the international design firms OMA and OLIN have spearheaded the vision for the planned 1.45-mi. 11th Street Bridge Park project.

Once complete, the elevated landscape will connect Washington’sAnacostia and Navy Yard neighborhoods with an amphitheater and public plaza, along with public art, a hammock grove, a kayak and canoe launch area, as well as

While RFK Stadium is owned by the city, the land that it currently stands on is the property of the federal government, meaning there are limitations on what can be built, Shuskey told WTOP.Astadium site redevelopment study reports that the land is currently leased to the District for stadium use only.

St. Elizabeths East

Additionally, it will have 277 multifamily units affordable at 30 percent to 80 percent of area median income, as well as 18 for-sale townhomes, 30,000 sq. ft. of retail and 90,000 sq. ft. of community space, which will replace Washington’s RISE Center.

McMillan Sand

After years of controversy and legal challenges, the 25acre McMillan Sand Filtration Site at North Capitol Street and Michigan Avenue NW finally began a redevelopment with demolition work in October 2021, five years after its groundbreaking.

After years of controversy and legal challenges, the 25acre McMillan Sand Filtration Site at North Capitol Street and Michigan Avenue NW finally began a redevelopment with demolition work in October 2021, five years after its groundbreaking.

In describing the project to WTOP News, Shuskey called it a “testament to perseverance from both the city and the development partners” since it had taken about 15 years to get progress moving to plan the 2.1-million-sq.-ft. site.

Though a solid delivery date is still unknown, the plan for the property includes a grocery store, 467 apartments, 146 townhomes, 860,000 sq. ft. of medical office space, a community center and an eight-acre park. The four old regulator houses, 20 sand

OSHAIncreases Its Maximum Penalties for Violations

The Federal Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 dictates that all federal agencies must increase their monetary penalties annually in line with the rate of inflation.

However, the new rules are “intended to be a targeted strategy,” said Doug Parker, OSHA assistant secretary of labor.

They’re written especially for “those employers who repeatedly choose to put profits before their employees’safety, health and well-being.”

Targeting Offenders

In fact, OSHA regional administrators and area office directors now have the authority to cite certain violations as “instance-by-instance citations.”

They can do so for cases where the agency identifies “high-gravity” serious violations of OSHA standards supports a citation for each instance of non-compliance.

This includes lockout/tagout, machine guarding, permitrequired confined space, respiratory protection, falls and trenching.

Cases with other-than-serious violations specific to recordkeeping also fall under the discretionary authority.

According to OSHA, the change is intended to ensure agency personnel are applying the full authority of the OSH Act where increased citations are needed to discourage noncompliance.

“The new guidance covers enforcement activity in general industry, agriculture, maritime and construction industries, and becomes effective 60 days from Jan. 26, 2023,” said OSHA.

The current policy has been in place since 1990 and applies only to egregious willful citations.

At the same time OSHA reminds regional administrators and area directors of their authority not to group violations. The staffers should instead cite violations separately to more effectively encourage employers to comply with the intent of the OSH Act.

“Smart, impactful enforcement means using all the tools available to us when an employer ‘doesn’t get it’ and will respond to only additional deterrence in the form of increased citations and penalties,” said Parker. “Employers who callously view injured or sickened workers simply as a cost of doing business will face more serious consequences.”

Numbers Are Going Up

OSHA’s maximum penalty increases are:

• $15,625, up from $14,502, per violation for serious, other-than-serious and posting requirement violations;

• $15,625, up from $14,502, per day for failure to abate beyond the abatement date;

• $156,259, up from $145,027, for willful or repeated violations.

The minimum penalty for a willful violation is now $11,162, an increase from $10,360.

In January, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced a 5 percent increase in the civil penalties assessed for violations of its regulations.

The Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA) reports that the number of OSHA inspectors increased by 19 percent. The association concluded that the increase in staff “raises the possibility of onsite inspections.”

Before the COVID pandemic, OSHA performed approximately 31,000 inspections a year, according to Chris Mayne, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Norwood, Conn.

Mayne, GZA health and safety manager, told CBIA that that number dropped to approximately 24,000 inspections in 2021. He anticipates as society adjusts to a post-COVID and with the increase in staff OSHAwill at least return to its prepandemic inspection levels.

“I have seen companies become more safety conscious over the years with safety becoming integrated into the fabric

of company culture,” he said.

These companies are spending more resources on safetyrelated issues to prevent illness and injuries from occurring in the workplace, and consequently, to reduce the likelihood of citations and fines, he said.

“Having good safety management programs in place can help identify areas of non-compliance or risk and drive solutions to address these areas of concern.”

OSHA’s goal with the violation increase is to target employers who repeatedly choose to put profits before their employees’ safety, health and well-being.

The fee increase is intended to ensure agency personnel are applying the full authority of the OSH Act.

Stertil-Koni Faces Polar Vortex Head On at Charity Event

Employees of heavy duty vehicle lift leader StertilKoni, as well as their friends and families, gathered together on Feb. 3 to brave some of the season’s lowest temperatures — all to jump into the icy Chesapeake Bay at Sandy Point State Park in Maryland.

Why? Here in Maryland, the group gathered for an annual tradition, appropriately called the Polar Plunge. The mission was to raise funds supporting Maryland’s Special Olympics’athletes and leadership programs throughout the state.

As with each year, bragging rights were up for grabs for those who plunge the fastest and venture the farthest into the frigid Bay waters. It also provides a perfect opportunity to goad non-plungers to participate next year.

Stertil-Koni Director of Operations Kevin Hymers, who organizes the corporate plunge for the company, noted, “We take pride in plunging into the frosty waters of the Chesapeake Bay and supporting the 4,340 athletes involved in the Special Olympics of Maryland. Our sponsors and their donations help contribute to a great cause, which is to continue offering these programs throughout our wonderful state at no cost to the athletes and their families. That’s a great way to give back to the community.”

This year’s event took place during one of the area’s harshest cold snaps, with high temperatures hovering around the freezing mark and wind chills making the day feel 10 degrees colder. Now that’s frosty. But those conditions didn’t seem to deter the more than 10,000 brave plungers who journeyed to Sandy Point State Park, at the foot of the gorgeous Chesapeake Bay Bridge, in the spirit of giving back.

Following Hymers’ into the frigid waters of the Chesapeake Bay from Stertil-Koni were Jean DellAmore, Tim Kerr, Kellie Hibble, Emmaleigh Gibbs, Jacqueline Cullison,AmeliaAndres, Juliann Thomas, Rich Weinreich, Tammy Michell, Christine Coulson, Mike Nichols and Gregory Watkins. Hymers called the dip “refreshing, invigorating and inspiring.” 

Long-TimeConstructionEquipmentSales Representative, Jim Hogan, Set to Retire

Jim Hogan, long-time sales representative, has decided to retire, effective March 31, 2023.

For the past 39 years, Hogan has been a sales representative and territory manager for both Edward Ehrbar Inc. and Komatsu America, but while he’s made a successful name for himself in the New York Metropolitan area selling equipment for nearly four decades, he didn’t start out helping to fill heavy iron needs.

Fresh out of college with a civil tech degree, he began working for Turner Construction Company in Manhattan as a field engineer in June 1971.

“I went to school for it and was lucky enough to get a job with Turner Construction,” Hogan said. “And I loved the job, but after six years I decided to get into sales because I thought I could make more money selling equipment. Turner is a great company with terrific people. I got a valuable education there.”

In March 1977, he began working for L.B. Smith as a sales representative and in 1978, he began working for H.O. Penn where he worked for six years in the same role, covering Nassau County on Long Island. He then began what would be a 39-year career at Edward Ehrbar Inc. and Komatsu America combined as a territory manager.And he has enjoyed every aspect of his career there.

“I really enjoyed the interaction with the people,” he said. “I love getting to know new people. And I really felt that I was providing a service to them. I was always willing to help people buy the appropriate equipment for their jobs. I just enjoyed the heck out of the relationships I made. We had some fun along the way and I really became part of their businesses … you know kind of a partner in their business by recommending what equipment to use and sometimes recommending how to do jobs and so it was very rewarding in that respect.”

He’s enjoyed learning along the way, as well. Construction equipment has changed a lot over his tenure and he’s stayed current through incessant knowledge and training.

“We’re being trained and updated every year in new innovations and lately, of course, the Intelligent Machine Control is amazing,” he said. “Forty years ago, I never thought equipment was going to be able to almost operate itself, but there are machines available now that do that. We are going to see more and more of that over the next 10 years.”

As he approaches retirement, Hogan reflected on his career and what he thinks young people who may be leaning toward a career in selling construction should consider.

“It has been tremendously rewarding for me, and I am not just talking financially,” he said. “I made a living and was able to raise three children, send them to college, buy a house and live a comfortable lifestyle, but the most rewarding part, I think, is what you get back. How much you put into the business is how much you get back. And you get to create a whole group of people who trust you and rely on you for your opinions and call on you when they are in trouble and need help. And that was the rewarding part for me.

“I was thinking about becoming an architect when I was in school,” he added. “And I can’t imagine now if I had become an architect and sat at a desk every day of my life

instead of getting out and traveling around and visiting all the contractor friends I made and friends I made in the municipalities. I am a very lucky guy because I found my niche in life.”

He plans to stay in touch with many of these friends and colleagues, too.

“I’ve made great family friends over the past 39 years … I’ll still be around,” he said. “I am not moving down south. I am going to stay in the area and spend more time with my family, more time traveling and more time playing golf.

“He is the man we aspire to be like,” said Steve Schiavetta, sales manager of KomatsuAmerica in Holbrook, N.Y. “His professionalism has really rubbed off on all of us. We are all better because of him being here, without a doubt. And anyone who has ever worked for or with Jim will say the exact same thing. I am better at my job because of working with Jim. And it’s not just him being a salesman, either; he is just so nice to everybody. He trusts all people in all departments. He is a real gentleman.

“We are really going to miss him, but the good thing about it is that he is not moving to Florida, he is going to stay around,” Schiavetta added. “He will remain here in the same town where he lives. Hopefully, we will still see him occasionally. We are not saying goodbye to him. We’re just saying thank you very much, it’s been great, thanks for your efforts, it’s been a privilege and we’ll see you down the road. And that’s how we will leave it with him. It’s been my honor to be his manager these past 20 years or so. What else can you say?”

Jim Hogan, long-time sales representative, has decided to retire, effective March 31, 2023.

Urban Outfitters, Pa. College Form Unique Partnership

A unique partnership between Urban Outfitters Inc. and Doylestown, Pa.’s Delaware Valley University (DelVal) has resulted in the start of construction of the retailer’s nature-inspired Terrain lifestyle brand presence on the DelVal campus.

The college announced Jan. 30 that ground had recently been broken at the Bucks County site, and Blue Rock Construction, a contracting firm with offices in New Jersey andPennsylvania,isleadingtheproject’screation.

Last May, Urban Outfitters (URBN) and DelVal revealed their plans to transform the Market at DelVal building to Terrain at Delaware Valley University. This new location for Terrain will bring the brand’s signature retail store, nursery, garden cafe and private event space to the college and Doylestown/Bucks County community.

“We are excited that construction is under way, going well, and on time,” said Adam DeAngelo, executive director at URBN. “We have received positive feedback from the community here and many events are already booked for the second half of 2023 and into 2024.”

URBN’sTerrain website describes itself as a garden, home and outdoor lifestyle brand deeply rooted in nature and plant life.

Founded in 2008, Terrain’s flagship location in Glen Mills, Pa., opened on the site of the historic J. Franklin Styer’s Nursery. The idea behind the brand was the merging of house and garden “to create an immersive naturalexperienceandanenvironmentwhere our customers can come to unwind, explore, and celebrate occasions big and small,” according to urbn.com/our-brands/terrain. Its products include a diverse selection of native plants, hand-picked planters, all-weather furniture, seasonal décor, outdoor lighting, and gifts for every occasion, the online site noted.

College, Community to Benefit From Terrain

The partnership between URBN/Terrain and DelVal includes experiential learning opportunities for the latter’s students through the university’s award-winning Experience360 program. Students can pursue paid internships and additional employment opportunities at Terrain at Delaware Valley University and other URBN locations. These internships may include retail, food service, events and other activities, according to DelVal.

Nicole Cataldi, Class of 2005, and recipient of an MBAfrom the university in 2008, is the human resource manager at Blue Rock

and head cheerleading coach at DelVal. She was ecstatic to learn that DelVal would be home to Terrain’s Doylestown location, and that Blue Rock would be involved.

“Knowing the dedication, thoughtfulness, and creativity that Blue Rock and URBN put into projects, I am confident that the result will be amazing, and I cannot wait to see it,” she explained. “As an alumna, I am happy to see that through this partnership, the space will not only be beautiful and add to the community but also be a new hands-on learning opportunity for current and future students with a well-known corporation.”

Other DelVal alumni are excited at the chance to book the Terrain event space for major life events, including Monika Smallwood-Phillips, Class of 2019, and her husband, Shawn Phillips, Class of 2018. They look forward to Terrain’s opening on campus to celebrate an important milestone and revisit their alma mater.

“My husband and I met at DelVal,” Smallwood-Phillips explained. “We definitely can’t wait for Terrain to open so we can have our five-year celebration here.”

The building site for Terrain at Delaware Valley University is at 2100 Lower State Rd., in Doylestown, approximately 30 mi. north of Philadelphia.

Terrain Project in Capable Hands

Founded in 1896, Delaware Valley University is a private, comprehensive, nonprofit university educating students with a curriculum that emphasizes and requires experiential learning. It offers 28 undergraduate majors in life and physical sciences, business, the humanities, and agricultural and environmental sciences, in addition to more than seven master’s degrees, and a doctorate in education.

DelVal currently educates approximately 1,840 undergraduate students, 460 graduate students, and 420 continuing-education students.

Urban Outfitters Inc. has a portfolio of global consumer brands made up of Anthropologie, BHLDN, Free People, FP Movement, Terrain, Urban Outfitters, Nuuly, and Menus & Venues. Since 1970, URBN has inspired customers through a creative and entrepreneurial approach to products, services and experiences.

With offices in Allentown and Newtown, Pa., in addition to Burlington, N.J., Blue Rock offers construction services to clients in many markets, including program management, construction management, design/build and project consulting. 

Many Firms Choose to Conduct Practice OSHAInspections

Impact On Contractors

It helps a construction contractor tremendously to know the difference between an OSHA violation and a citation.

A violation occurs when a company or employee willingly or unknowingly ignores potential and real safety hazards. According to trainers at Safety by Design, a violation does not always mean an incident occurred; it can also happen during an OSHA inspection.

“Depending on the severity of the infraction, the company can receive a citation or fine,” noted the safety consulting firm.

Some OSHA violations do not put employees at risk, and as a result, instead of issuing a fine, the agency gives the company a citation.

“Similar to a warning traffic ticket, a citation lets the business know there is a violation to resolve,” said the safety consultant. “It will also include a date when the safety issue needs to be fixed.”

Only repeat OSHA citations are listed on a company’s safety record, the company further explained.

“It’s classified as a repeat offense when a business receives the same citation more than once in three years.”

Safety by Design said with a complete list on its website, OSHA has made it easy for employees, managers and business owners to look up various violations.

The firm suggests that regular safety audits and inspections performed by third-party safety consulting companies can help improve workplace safety. These audits also can help reduce the likelihood of OSHA violations and citations.

Avoiding Consequences

Understanding what an OSHA compliance safety and health officer is allowed to investigate is crucial, said training solution provider SafetySkills. It also helps to understand what employees’ rights are both during and after an inspection, said the Oklahoma City, Okla., company.

“But a proper safety plan needs to start well before an inspection ever occurs,” the firm added. “You should identify and eliminate as many potential hazards from your workplace as possible.”

As well, contractors should implement personal protective equipment (PPE) wherever necessary.

“You also need to maintain accurate records of all injuries, illnesses and deaths and train employees on proper safety procedures for both everyday work and in an emergency.”

Many employers choose to conduct practice OSHA inspections, the firm noted.

“Just like when you had drills in school, practicing an inspection means employees will be better prepared and likely more relaxed in an official inspection.”

SafetySkills believes beyond onboarding, ensuring every new employee is also up-to-date on applicable safety standards could also significantly reduce the incidences of workplace injuries.

The new guidance covers enforcement activity in general industry, agriculture, maritime and construction industries, and becomes effective 60 days from Jan. 26, 2023, according to OSHA.

“Unfortunately, OSHA does not have one consistent standard for addressing safety training,” the consultant cautioned. “Instead, if there is a specific training requirement, it is outlined in the OSHA standard itself.”

The company instructs clients to keep in mind that training does not guarantee OSHA compliance.

“Training simply makes employees aware of potential safety hazards,” it said, adding that maintaining proper training documentation is key.

Documentation can serve as proof that the employer took the necessary steps to avoid a violation, should an inspection come to that.

No matter what kind of hazard may be present on a job site, there is some form of PPE that can help protect affected workers. Since 1974, OSHA has developed many PPE standards covering everything from clothing and fall arrest systems to hearing and respiratory protection.

“With few exceptions,” said SafetySkills, “employers are required to provide effective PPE that will protect each affected employee from any identified hazards or potential hazards at no cost to the employee.”

Employers also are responsible for providing complete training on any protective equipment that may be used. This training requires instruction in how to properly put on, adjust and remove PPE, and understanding any limitations of the equipment.

It is truly up to the employees to make sure safe habits are being carried out each day, said the safety consultant.

“In the field or out on the floor, employees will likely be the first ones to see any potential issues.”

By making it easy for employees to anonymously report potentially hazardous situations, employers can take the necessary corrective actions, the company said.

“It is crucial for employers to make it clear that if an

employee raises a safety concern or files a complaint with OSHA, they are protected from retaliation.”

Employees also should be encouraged to conduct regular safety checks of their own areas to ensure standards are being met by every worker. Putting this power into their hands rather than in the hands of management only fosters a culture of safety from the ground up, believes SafetySkills.

If You Are Cited

OSHA provides a general overview of employer rights and responsibilities following a federal OSHA inspection.

“But you should always consult your local OSHA area director for any specific questions or concerns,” urged SafetySkills.

Employers have options:

• They can agree to the citation and penalty by paying the fine;

• They can request an informal conference with the OSHA area director to discuss the citation;

• They can contest part or all of the notice, including the citation, penalty and/or abatement date; and

• Finally, employers can file a petition for modification of abatement if unable to meet the given deadline.

“Regardless, you must post a copy of the OSHA citation at or near the place where each violation occurred, in order to make employees aware,” said SafetySkills. “This posting must remain for three working days or until the violation is corrected, whichever is longer.”

In announcing the fine increases, OSHAreiterated that the enforcement changes are tools.

These tools are meant to help deter employers from disregarding their responsibilities to protect workers. They’re also meant to “ensure compliance with OSHA standards and regulations.”  CEG

SBM Mineral Processing Set to Participate at ConExpo

For the fourth time in a row, SBM Mineral Processing will participate in ConExpo-Con/AGG in Las Vegas.

At its booth (Silver Lot, Booth S5600), the Austrian processing specialists will showcase the track-mounted JAWMAX 400 jaw crusher.

Like all “SBM Mobiles” — a total of 12 track-mounted JAWMAX jaw crushers and REMAX impact crushers between 49,000 and 353,000 lbs. operating weight (max. output 250 to 800 tph) — it features an advanced diesel-electric drive concepts, the manufacturer said.

A combination of fuel-efficient onboard diesel and performance-tuned generator powers the plants’ largely electrified crushing, screening and conveying equipment. Despite class-leading production capacities, this ensures massive savings in fuel consumption compared with diesel-hydraulic or only partially electric competitor plants due to low engine speeds.

Less hydraulics also means less risk of failure, lower maintenance and parts inventory costs, and thus higher availability with further optimized operating costs, reaching overall savings from 40 to 75 percent.

All SBM plants provide intelligent integrated “Crush Control” controls that noticeably relieve the operator in set-up and operation. Even inexperienced machine operators can safely operate and access the full performance of the JAWMAX and REMAX models, which can be equipped with numerous pre-screening and post-screening options, according to the manufacturer.

Crusher 4.0

In Las Vegas, SBM also will inform about the brand-new REMAX 600.

Also based on the SBM hybrid concept, the new 600 tph impact crusher will soon pave the way for “autonomous crushing,” the manufacturer said.

Extensive sensor technology, including cameras, constantly records and evaluates the feed material as well as intermediate and end products. In real time, those values reach centralized digital labs at SBM, where they are further analyzed. Necessary adjustments are then made on the “digital twin” of the working machine and retransmitted directly

to the REMAX 600 in the field.

The “Crusher 4.0” developed together with the University of Leoben was presented at the recent bauma trade show, and largescale field tests are currently being carried out in selected partner plants.

Dealers Wanted

SBM is planning a sustainable expansion of its sales and service activities in North and South America as well as in the Anglo-Pacific region. So far represented in Canada with its own spare parts center and two supra-regional dealers (AMACO Equipment, ProTrack Equipment), the focus is particularly on the U.S. market and there in all relevant industry segments, from raw materials to the construction industry to qualified recycling.

At the show, SBM intends to present new trade partners and is available for inquiries of interested companies. For more information, visit www.sbmmp.at

Dan Beirne is a big believer in the mantra, the customer is always right. So, after a client asked if he could find a way to produce a finer finish after a bush hogging project, he started researching his options.

What he ultimately found was that a finer finish led to many more starts, due to his RK5015 mulcher from Fecon.

When Beirne retired from the United States Air Force after 23 years of military service as a Joint Terminal Attack Controller and Aerial Gunner, he founded the landscaping company Green Gorilla Lawnscapes, in Charleston, S.C.

Operating with an industrial brush cutter mounted on a Kubota SVL-75 Highflow compact track loader, he did good work for his clients, but still sought out ways to improve his craft.

A conversation about producing a finer sized output led him to Fecon and its local dealer, Steen Enterprises in Adams Run, S.C.

Big Dog With Big Appetite

Beirne was so impressed the new mulcher that he nicknamed his machine Cerberus, after the mythical three headed dog, because of its voracious appetite.

He routinely clears thick brush and limbs, even standing trees to 8-in. in diameter, leaving behind a carpet of mulch that is easy on the eyes, and on the feet. With a 2,400 rpm rotation speed, a 45V motor, and a 15 in. diameter rotor fitted with double carbide teeth, the RK5015 eats through brush with ease.

Beirne is very pleased with their resilience and service life, putting logging 170.4 hours on the original set of teeth.

“I was finishing up a six-acre tract when the mulcher head shut down. Sometimes pieces of wood get stuck in there, so I got out to check. It wasn’t a piece of wood. An old bulldozer sprocket was hiding under the brush. I’d have never seen it walking by,” he said.

“This thing chewed it up, but it nicked up my two teeth pretty good, but that thing still cut like a champ. By the end of the day, the teeth worked themselves out. It was pretty cool to see.”

Beirne flipped the teeth at 98.7 hours and greases his machine every four hours.

“If you grease it and take care of it, it’ll last. I haven’t had any issues.”

Much of Green Gorilla’s work comes from a real estate developer, who’s actually the customer who requested a finer product, which led him to Fecon. When the developer buys land to show to potential buyers, he brings in Beirne to clear a path for them to walk along to see the property.

“He buys it up and brings me in there to clean it up. We make paths so the customers who fly in from out of town can get a better appreciation of the property. They don’t want to walk through brush.”

Beirne clears the brush and leaves a nicer, finer mulch that’s much more pleasant to look at and walk on. It’s better for the developer, so he keeps using

With Right Equipment, World Is Your Oyster

Beirne recently did a brush clearing job for an oyster farm. The farm had been logged about 5 or 6 years ago and was littered with 19 acres of brush.

“It was just overgrown with pines anywhere from three to eight inches, scrub brush. Invasive species like the Asian pear tree, the holly was really thick. You name it, it was in there,” he recalled.

The live foliage wasn’t his only problem, however.

“There were limbs from when they did the logging that were decomposing, stumps that were decomposed enough where this handled it and made it flat to the ground.”

The stumps can be a challenge, but Beirne is very happy with how his RK5015 handled these stumps.

“This head brought them right down.”

The oyster farm job took about 8 days and covered soft ground, hard ground, riverbeds, drainage ditches, and everything in between. Beirne was hired to clear the land so that it could be usable again for other purposes.

“It was both aesthetic and to get functionality,” he recalled. They couldn’t use the land when it was covered in brush, and they wanted it to look nice.

“The biggest thing they’ve told me is the job is neat and clean when it’s done

compared to what it used to look like. The guys at the oyster farm told me they’ve dealt with a lot of guys that’ve come in there with mulchers, but he said that our output looked the best.”

The oyster farm was so pleased that it hired Green Gorilla for several future landscaping projects. One particular job he’s looking forward to is clearing out old dried-up oyster ponds.

“They’re man-made oyster ponds which are overgrown with brush. I’ll be driving down into them and cleaning out the ponds themselves. They’re all dried out, of course. When we finish, they will have more ponds where they can grow oysters in there again. The initial clearing project was mainly for aesthetic and to clean up all the logged area so they can facilitate the land for other functions.”

Beirne also appreciates the ability to do residential work that the RK5015 gives him.

“I can pull my machine right back there and go between trees because it’s so maneuverable. I have the ability to go right up to the tree without nicking

it. People are ecstatic about it. I can go right into their backyard,” said Beirne.

“It’s blessed because you can get anywhere with that thing, in between trees, get good angles that the big ones can’t.”

The RK5015 can work in tighter areas and leave a better finish, making it very helpful to use in residential work as well as non-residential.

The smaller mulcher head is not to be underestimated.

“At first, some people were like, ‘Man, that’s not that big of a machine. You’re going to have some long days.’”

Beirne wasn’t worried, as he knew Cerberus could handle it.

“It took me 50.8 hours and $522.10 of fuel to complete 19 acres of thick brush and trees anywhere from oneinch to eight-inches. I averaged 5.6 hours a day mulching,” he said. “I just recently removed a row of thick brush and 5 in. trees along an old cow fence line at the oyster farm. That 1,000 feet clearing project took me less than an hour.”

The more that Beirne gets around, the more work that he generates from

satisfied customers. After a storm swept through the area, Green Gorilla was tasked with storm cleanup on a 10-acre property. Rather than collecting the limbs and hauling them off, his Beirne and his crew mulched them in place.

“We were weaving in and out of pines and large valuable oaks to mulch up downed branches. The property owners told me their place looked like a park when I was done, and they were so happy that they did not have to burn anything.”

They also were pleased with the price, which negated any fees for hauling and disposal of the vegetative debris. What would have taken Green Gorilla crews all day or more to pick up debris only took them 2 hours to mulch up with the RK 5015.

While on that project, a neighbor asked Beirne to mulch up a large burn pile her husband had accumulated but which the wife did not want to burn.

“I mulched it in less than an hour,” said Beirne.

There are a lot of potential projects out there, but that’s okay, because Cerberus has a big appetite.

BizReceivesMilestoneBuildofFalconWinchAssistSystem

Logging steep slopes presents safety risks as well as challenges that affect production.

Overcoming both has been a mission for DC Equipment, manufacturer of the Falcon Forestry Equipment (FFE) Falcon Winch Assist, which recently saw completion of its 200th unit with the help of Modern Machinery Inc.

“The 200th is one of a significant number of units DC Equipment has built during the past several years,” said Territory Manager Russ Smith, who was instrumental in bringing the Falcon WinchAssist to the Pacific Northwest.

“Customers love the ability it gives them to more productively and safely log steep ground.”

Modern Machinery equipped the 200th unit the same as it did with others it has set up, starting with a previously used Komatsu PC290LC excavator.After removing the counterweight and thoroughly inspected the machines, Modern service technicians mount Falcon’s winch on the back of the excavator, which gives it approximately the same operating weight as a traditional excavator.

The winch houses approximately 1,640 ft. of 1 1/8-in. swaged rope with nearly 80 tons of breaking strength. The rope runs through rollers on the excavator’s main boom and a tension monitor where the boom and arm meet senses the load.

Uphill, Downhill

Excavators equipped with the Falcon Winch Assist serve as the “uphill” machine in the mechanization process. They sit stationary with no operator and the bucket is dug into the ground for added stability.

“ThePC290givesusagreatbasemachinetostart with because it’s stout with plenty of capacity,” said Smith. “At the same time, at about 80,000 pounds with the WinchAssist, it’s easy to haul.”

The Falcon WinchAssist is designed for constant tension and attaches to a log loader, feller buncher, harvester or skidder to allow those “downhill” machines to work on steep slopes where it would be dangerous to operate without cable assist.

Acontrolboxandantennaaremountedinsidethe cab of the excavator for communication with the downhill machine. Operators use the winch to move uphill and downhill, controlling it with foot pedals. Winch mode, tension settings, manual pay out or wind in of rope and emergency stop are controlled via joystick in the harvester. A control screen dis-

plays rope tension, length of rope payed out and additional important information.

“We have two locations that build the units and install the controls, and usually put four to five technicians on them,” said Modern Machinery Equipment Coordinator Matt Moore. “If they see anything during inspection that needs to

be addressed, it’s taken care of.

“In addition to the Winch Assist components and the bucket, all are equipped with a thumb. That, along with the bucket, gives customers added versatility because they can use the machine for other tasks as needed.”

No Longer Just a Trend

Modern Machinery and DC Equipment representatives say the Winch Assist System increasingly is contributing to the logging industry’s change to mechanization and less work done by hand. That’s largely being influenced by felling machines and the support of winch assist methods on steeper slopes.

An example of this can be seen in New Zealand (where DC Equipment is based) where mechanization for ground-based felling has increased from 50 to 90 percent between 2009 and 2019. This movement is happening across the globe, including in Modern Machinery’s territory.

“It’s no longer a trend, but an adoption in the industry because loggers see that it’s the most effective and practical method for most steep-slope situation,” said Smith. “We are looking forward to building more of these units going forward, and we encourage anyone who does this type of work, or is interested in adding steep-slope logging to contact us for more information.” 

Modern Machinery equipped the 200th unit the same as it did with others it has set up, starting with a previously used Komatsu PC290LC excavator.

A new GEN 4 Falcon Winch Assist gets extra features over its predecessor versions.

Kubota Tractor, Land Pride Expand Suite ofAttachments

Kubota Tractor Corporation and Land Pride announced the introduction of new construction attachments at this year’s World of Concrete show to include a new line of performance-matched vibratory compactors, grapples and snow blowers, which will be available at authorized Kubota dealerships this spring.

“Kubota and Land Pride work hand-in-hand with product development,” said Michael Butler, Land Pride product manager. “Together, our equipment is performance-matched so as Kubota is refining, upgrading, and expanding its power units, Land Pride is engineering with the same quality and innovation on complementary attachments. This year, we are adding three more attachment lines to our already diverse suite of construction equipment and attachments.”

New 2023 Kubota by Land Pride attachment introductions include:

• Vibratory Compactors APPC400 / 700 / 1000 — The new line of plate compactors are matched to Kubota excavators, in the 3- to 8-ton size range. These versatile tools effectively compact soil and aggregate in open trenching, leveling, and embankment construction applications. These compactors are durable and ready for everyday use by construction crews in concrete applications and municipality work. Available at Kubota dealerships now.

• Compact Claw Grapple APCGC1040 — Kubota’s newest grapple, the CGC1040 compact claw grapple, is made from high-tensile AR400 steel and performance-matched specifically for Kubota SCL1000 stand-on compact loader power unit. At just over 300 lbs. and 40 in. wide, the CGC1040 is ideal for landscapers looking to move brush and limbs or even set large stones as a landscape feature. The narrow width of the claw grapple, paired with the narrow width of the SCL, allows for easy access through most residential gates for higher productivity. The CGC1040 Compact Claw Grapple will be available at Kubota dealerships starting in May 2023.

• Snow Blowers APSBL3074 / 3084 & APSBL3574 / 3584 — New in 2023 are the introduction of two snow blower models, the SBL30 and SBL35. Kubota’s new snow blowers are available with hydraulic flow rates

to match a number of Kubota power units, including the SSV and SVL lines. The new snow blowers feature optional bolt-on wings that add an additional four inches of width, to bring more snow into the machine, plus an optional fold-over chute can be added to direct snow more precisely. The SBL30 Models feature two motor options to accommodate lower flow machines, while the SBL35 Series has one motor available and matches the high-flow capabilities of the SVL97-2. Kubota’s new snow blowers increase options for snow removal companies, landscapers, farmers and ranchers.

Kubota’s new construction equipment attachments will be available at Kubota dealerships nationwide in spring 2023. Specifications for all models can be found at LandPride.com.

Trucking Firm Makes Switch to SmithCo Side Dumps

Solving tough problems for its customers is important to SmithCo, and its team works with customers every step of the way to make sure they get what they need to do the job better.

That’s why when Kevin McGee of V McGee Inc. in Tennessee told SmithCo about his unique situation, sales manager Gerred Zeising dug in to develop a unique solution.

McGee needed a special set up for hauling coal ash (also called fly ash). Coal ash hauling is notoriously difficult and must adhere to special regulations.

V McGee Trucking had been using end dump trailers for these loads but started to think seriously about side dump trailers. It did not want the possibility of the end gate opening and leaving ash on the highway. This is especially important because any leak of fly ash during transport can lead to large fines and other penalties.

“I’d been using end dump trailers, but I needed something safer and more reliable for hauling fly

ash,” said McGee. “SmithCo helped me design and build a quad-axle box truck, which was outside of their normal scope. We designed a configuration that was able to do big hauls without a lot of extra weight in the trailer.”

The SmithCo engineering team collaborated with Zeising and McGee and designed the right setup for the job, a custom SHV-style truckmounted bodies on a quad axle. This setup met

McGee’s load hauling needs (about 80k pounds) without adding too much extra weight from the trailer itself.

The result? V McGee can now haul more loads of coal ash with more efficiency and less risk.

“The team at SmithCo was great from start to finish. The job wouldn’t be possible without these trailers,” McGee said.

For more information, call 800/779-8099 or visit sidedump.com. 

For 90 years, customers and partners have appreciated Palfinger’s pioneering spirit.

True to the tagline “Together we can reach anything”, the company has continued to place its customers at the center of all activities. It is always reaching for something bigger, to push beyond its limits and to tackle the challenges ahead with a forward-thinking attitude, the company said.

That is exactly what is emphasized in the introduction of the new Palfinger FHS Series of truck-mounted forklifts.

“We see challenges not as an obstacle, but as an opportunity. We create solutions and provide answers. That is what drives us as the world market leader, and therefore the entire industry as well. Our customers are always the center of our focus. Because we can only deliver suitable products and solutions if we know their challenges,” said Palfinger CEO Andreas Klauser.

Reinvented with customers’ input, the global and regional teams have worked on developing a truly unique product. The result was new features, innovations and patents that permits the company to say it has truly revolutionized the truck-mounted forklift, Palfinger said.

The full range of forklifts in the 5,500 lb. capacity class are available in four configurations — standard, standard reach, 4-way,

4-way reach — and with 10 or 12 ft. masts.

The exterior has a striking look with its higher ground clearance, lower profile engine hood, powder coated chassis and contemporary angular styling. Inside the spacious operator cabin is a swivel seat assembly with 25-degree outward rotation, which increases access when entering and exiting the machine. Finally, there is an integrated side guard providing extra protection for the operator.

The Palfinger ground control system comes standard on all models and allows operators to mount and dismount the forklift from a truck or trailer without climbing on board.

The reach system extends the forks forward to the centerline of the trailer, while the mast remains firmly against the side of the truck or trailer. This allows the operator to lift full capacity loads at maximum reach while retaining the ability to tilt and side shift at all times.

The FHS 55 4-way reach is a solution for difficult, same side loading/unloading situations. The reach system allows the operator to lift full capacity loads from across the truck/trailer,while the steering can be switched to the front wheels to allow effortless sideways driving.

Volvo to Begin Customer Testing Fuel Cell Trucks in 2025

Volvo Trucks are running tests of fuel cell electric trucks that only emit water vapor and have an operational range comparable to diesel trucks, up to 1,000 km.Asecond pilot phase is to follow in a few years’ time and will see customer tests on public roads.

The testing of fuel cell electric trucks in commercial traffic will start in 2025 with selected customers in northern Europe, followed by additional trucks in more countries over the coming years.

Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric trucks will be especially suitable for long distance and heavy, energydemanding assignments. They also could be an option in countries where battery charging possibilities are limited.

“I believe that the pilot tests will highlight the potential for fuel cell electric trucks. The tests will run in a demanding, harsh climate and it also give us a great opportunity for driving with heavy loads up 65 ton,” said Jessica Sandström, SvPglobal product management at Volvo Trucks.

The goal of the pilot tests will be to look at all different aspects of the truck’s operation including working components, handling and driver experience.

A fuel cell generates its own electricity from the hydrogen onboard instead of being charged from an external source. The only biproduct emitted is water vapor. Volvo’s electric trucks will use two fuel cells with a capacity to generate 300 kW of power and will have a refuel time of less than 15 minutes.

Fuel cell technology is still in an early phase of development and while there are many benefits there remains some chal-

lenges, not least the large-scale supply of green hydrogen and need to develop fueling infrastructure. (Green hydrogen is produced by using renewable energy sources, such as wind, water and sun.)

To overcome the lack of available hydrogen when running the pilots, the filling of green hydrogen from renewable sources will be done at the home-depot.

“We expect the supply of green hydrogen to increase significantly during the next cou-

ple of years, since many industries will depend on it to reduce CO2. The fuel cell trucks will be important for longer and heavier transportations in a few years from now,” said Sandström.

The fuel cells will be supplied by Cellcentric — the joint venture between the Volvo Group and Daimler Truck AG. Cellcentric will build one of Europe’s largest series production facilities for fuel-cells, especially developed for heavy vehicles.

StellarTrailerEliminatesNeedforCDLHazmatCertification

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

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

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

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

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

• Tube framing that is stronger than channel iron.

• A spring leaf that is more durable and easier to replace.

• A primer powder coat for superior salt spray performance, durability and a premium finish.

“Our new multi-tank fuel trailer enables operators to make better use of their time, team and money when transporting fuel,” said Jason Vertin, director of sales, ag and utility trailers at Stellar.

ARTBAJoins U.S. DOT ‘Call to Action’ Campaign On Safety

To reduce injuries and deaths on roadways, the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) has joined forces with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in a new “Call toAction” campaign. The yearlong initiative calls on all stakeholders — not just drivers — to do their part to improve safety on the nation’s roads.

According to U.S. DOT, traffic deaths surged during the early days of the pandemic and remain high, with nearly 43,000 people killed in 2021. Highway workers are among the most vulnerable road users. The Bureau of Labor and Statics reports 2,222 workers lost their lives at road construction sites between 2003 and 2020— an average of 123 per year.

Since its 1902 founding, ARTBA has been dedicated to protecting the lives of highway workers through trainings, advocacyandawareness.AsoneofU.S.DOT’s

49 “Allies in Action,” the association will put special focus on the following areas:

• Positive Protection — reduces risk of intrusionintoworkspaceswithdevicesthat contain and redirect vehicles.

• Automated Speed Enforcement in Roadway Work Zones — a proven tool in changing driver behavior.

•IntrusionPreventionGuidance—standardizing tools and best practices that analyze, predict and protect areas of vulnerability on work sites.

• National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse (workzonesafety.org), one of the world’s largest online resources on the topic.

The Call to Action effort is part of U.S. DOT’s National Roadway Safety Strategy working toward zero deaths through “safer people, safer vehicles, safer speeds, safer roads and post-crash care.”

Superior Celebrates Its 85thAnniversary, Unveils New Brand

Superior Construction, an American family-owned infrastructure contractor, is unveiling the latest evolution of the Superior brand identity as the company celebrates its 85th year in business. The milestone year and new visual identity come on the heels of a record-breaking year of success in 2022.

The newly adapted visual identity retains the company’s iconic red color and name while featuring a modern typeface and a horizontal bar representing the company’s focus on horizontal construction, including roads, bridges and other infrastructure. The horizontal bar also alludes to the company’s long history, while the slight angle of the lettering conveys motion, reflecting Superior’s transportation work and forward-thinking culture.

In addition to the refreshed visual identity, the company is formalizing a longtime rallying cry: “This is Superior Construction.” A play on the company’s name, the tagline will be used to showcase Superior’s advanced business methods and innovative approaches to building complex infrastructure projects.

“While it’s been 85 years since Superior Construction became an entity, this also marks 100 years since my family first started in the construction industry and established what would eventually become Superior Construction,” said CEO and owner Nick Largura. “What’s remained true over the years is our family-first, people-oriented culture.”

In addition, Superior will be holding companywide events for employees and promoting its mission, vision and values, which were officially developed late last year.

“Given our company’s recent successes and effective expansion into new markets, this milestone year, we thought it was time to put down in writing what has always made this company special,” Largura said. “By formally adopting a set ofobjectives,aspirationsandprinciples,wearerenewingour commitment to our customers, our communities and each other.”

After soliciting employee feedback across all divisions and conducting in-depth interviews with key leaders throughout the company, Superior identified its core values as family, safety, integrity, innovation, commitment and empowerment.

“There’s a common perception that a company’s mission, vision and values have to originate at the top and trickle down,” Largura said. “While there can be value in this, just announcing ‘this is who we are’doesn’t foster a meaningful company culture. That’s why we’ve been taking an organic, bottom-to-top approach.”

WiththepassageoftheInfrastructureInvestmentandJobs Act, Superior is poised to rebuild many of the roads and bridges that Largura’s father and grandfather built after WorldWar II, when the U.S. Interstate Highway System was born.

“Our business has always been about building community by investing in people and connecting families,” Largura said. “We’ve been delivering on that promise for decades because of our ability to adapt to evolutionary change and shifting markets, all while remaining true to the foundational values of our family-owned company.”

Jeff MartinAuctioneers Hosts ItsAnnual Winter Sale in

Jeff Martin Auctioneers conducted its annual winter Kissimmee, Fla., auction from Feb. 13 to Feb. 15.

The company held the auction on an expansive 100-acre site that included many low-hour, nearly-new machines, plus older machines. New for 2023 was a large selection of cranes and other aerial lift equipment.

The vast supply of iron attracted bidders from around the world, including bidders from all 50 states as well as 27 countries. The sale included four rings concurrently selling a variety of machines.

Bidders enjoyed a nice sunny breeze throughout the auction, which also was made available via online video. Several machines were sold offsite as well.  CEG

AEM Finalizes Updates to Pair of Popular Safety Manual Titles

AEM has announced a pair of recent safety manual updates in accordance with its longstanding mission to provide up-to-date and industry-consensus safety materials that encourage safe equipment operation.

The recent updates to AEM’s Aerial Platform Safety Manual (now titled Mobile Elevating Work Platform Safety Manual) and Mobile Crane Safety Manual offer user-friendly and easily accessible content on safe practices to use when operating and maintaining machinery.

“We appreciate our member companies and their product safety experts for their efforts in developing, reviewing and approving these updates, ensuring they truly represent best practices for safe equipment operation,” said AEM Safety Materials Manager Becca Basten.

AEM’s safety materials are consensus documents that are developed, reviewed and approved by committees empaneled by AEM, and they represent best practices for the industry. The safety materials include more than 55 unique manual titles, and they extend to additional collateral such as videos, brochures, decals and training kits.

In many cases, the manual is often assigned a part number in a manufacturer’s production process to ensure it is included with other safety literature when the equipment is sold into market.

“This integration with the

manufacturing process helps AEM member companies by reinforcing their already existing risk management programs,” added Basten.

Manuals are put up for review every five years. Sometimes, a title’s scheduled review is skipped if no updates are requested by members at AEM product group meetings. Other times, reviews can take longer than expected.

When its first safety manual was published in 1969, AEM (then known as CIMA) established a foundationasafetymaterialsprogram that has grown exponentially over the 50 years that followed.

Theintentatthattimewas fortheassociationtoprovide end users with a safety manual that complemented its members’ OEMs’ publications and that represented the industry’s best practices for equipment safety. It was an auspicious idea: To provide consensus-based safety documents that were developed, reviewed and approved by association members who, although they competed in the marketplace, would work togethertopublishbestpractices for operating equipment safely.

“AEMhasmanypointsof engagement with its members, from trade shows to statistics and advocacy,” said Basten. “We can say the same for the safety materials program, a service area in which approximately nine out of 10 AEM members who manufacture large offroad equipment make use of

safety materials developed by the association and their peers.”

AEM shipped 1.2 million units worth of safety materials to its members and the general public last year. While North America was the biggest destination for those materials, AEM shipped its materials into Japan, Australia, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy and Germany as well.

AEM supports safety awareness year-round by offering an extensive array of safety products, including safety manuals and videos, with major equipment types covering aerial, agriculture, compact/portable, earthmoving, forestry, lifting, road paving and utility excavation applications.

“All great companies and great brands evolve,” said Rebecca Bortner, director of marketing, Case Construction Equipment. “‘The New Case’marks the next step in our evolution as a brand and we’re looking forward to making some waves in the industry.”

The Case booth (West Hall — W40800) will showcase industry and business solutions to make contractors’jobs easier — this includes more than 30 new machines, tons of new attachments, ingenious new technology and educational sessions with tips on best practices around technology, equipment, fleet management and more. Case also will host new product presentations in the booth Tuesday through Friday at 10 a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., in addition to having loads of knowledgeable team members ready to help industry members get more done, with greater ease than ever before.

“These are just some of the ways Case is digging deeper, pushing harder and reaching higher to help contractors and business owners win,” said Brad Stemper, director of product management — North America, Case Construction Equipment. “We are

focused on delivering swift, smooth and smart machines with an operator-first focus and industry leading hip-pocket support from field staff and dealers all throughout North America.”

Case will tease some of this new attitude and business approach at the 2023 ARA Show in Orlando [Booth 4870] Feb. 13 to 15 — including a sneak peek at one of the new products the company will officially announce at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

“We are making moves with the speed and agility of a startup — all anchored in 180 years of experience in the earthmoving business,” said Stemper. “Last year we launched the most talked-about machine in recent history with the industry-first compact dozer loader — the Case Minotaur DL550, and we’re moving forward with that same hustle on innovation and practical solutions that will really make a difference for businesses all throughout North America.”

The Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader, which made countless yearend lists as one of the best new products of the year, will be showcased alongside other recent innovations such as the all-new Case E Series excavators (new models of which will be shown at the show). The company also promises numerous new product introductions including some entirely new categories for Case, business solutions, and exciting brand partnerships that will build the foundation for “The New Case” moving forward.

“2023 will be a year where we reshape the industry and help businesses and equipment owners do better in all facets of their work,” said Dolan. “ConExpo is just the start.”
