A transformation at the Port of Baltimore will allow for berthing of larger container postPanamax ships.

Seagirt Marine Terminal in the Port of Baltimore is operated by Ports American Chesapeake through a public-private-partnership (P3) with the Maryland Ports Administration. It opened in 1990.

The Port of Baltimore is currently only one of two major economic ports on the East Coast capable of handling these larger ships.

Additionally, it has two Neo-Panamax cranes, with the ability to extend across 23 containers on a ship and lift over 187,500 lbs. of cargo.

Fay, S&B USA Construction is currently working on a $22 million project at the Port of Baltimore to transform Berth 3 into a 50-ft.deep supersized berth. Work began in December 2020 and is ongoing.

According to Mike Veid, senior project manager, Komatsu excavators were used to demolish the existing interlocking stone pavers and

remove fill material the entire way down to the concrete deck, exposing the longitudinal and transverse beams over the pile caps.

He reported that more than 10,000 holes were drilled into the existing pile caps, making room

for the epoxy grout and new rebar inserted in these beams. This added reinforcement will enable the construction teams to pour new concrete, strengthening the existing beams. see PORT page 106

President Joe Biden’s right-to-repair order allows owners to selfrepair personal electronic devices, automobiles and machines. It benefits the ag industry and has implications for the construction industry.

ANALYSIS: STATE GAS TAX CHANGES HAVE LIMITED IMPACT

Volvo Construction Equipment has named Highway Equipment & Supply Co. its 2021 Dealer of the Year in North America. It also recognized Hoffman Equipment as its 2021 Uptime Dealer of the Year.

Do gas tax holidays automatically result in significantly lower prices and big savings for motorists at the pump? The short answer is “no,” according to new research from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association.

TRIP Releases New Funding Report Association Hails Despite the increase in transportation funding provided by the passage of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) in November 2021, the nation’s roads, bridges and transit systems remain significantly underfunded and will require increased investment for needed improvements and repairs.

Fees on highway users continue to be a critical source of funding for the preservation and improvement of the nation’s interstate highway system, other critical roads and bridges eligible for federal-aid, and the nation’s public transit systems.

The federal Highway Trust Fund (HTF) is the primary source of revenue for the IIJA and receives its revenues exclusively from highway user fees — taxes on motor fuels and other specified motorist purchases — and from interest on its existing balance (owed by the federal government on money borrowed from the Trust Fund). The HTF is deficit proof, financing road, bridge and transit improvements on a pay-as-you-go basis.

The federal motor fuel tax is 18.4 cents per gallon for gasoline and 24.4 cents per-gallon for diesel fuel. It has been increased five times since 1956, with the most recent increase in 1997.

A new report released Mar. 24 by TRIP, a Washington, D.C.-based national transportation research nonprofit, evaluates the condition, use and funding of the nation’s system of roads, bridges and transit. The TRIP report, “Funding America’s Transportation System,” finds that, as vehicle travel reaches pre-pandemic levels, 40 percent of the nation’s major roads are in poor or mediocre condition, and 7 percent of bridges are rated in poor/structurally deficient condition. The report also finds that traffic fatality rates are the highest in a decade, 42 percent of the nation’s busiest roads experience congestion during peak travel times, and one-fifth of transit vehicles have met or exceeded their useful service life.

The IIJA will provide a significant boost in federal investment in roads, bridges and transit and offers an opportunity for the nation to make progress in improving the safety, reliability and condition of the transportation system. The IIJA will provide $454 billion over the five-year period from 2022 to 2026 for investment in highways and transit, resulting in a 38 percent increase in federal investment in 2022.

The report’s Appendix includes the total revenue each state will receive over the next five years as a result of the IIJA, and the percentage increase in 2022.

As U.S. vehicle miles of travel (VMT) return to preCOVID-19 levels, the nation’s highways are again congested, hindering the movement of people and goods. Overall VMT bottomed out in April 2020 at a level 40 percent below April 2019. By December 2021, U.S. VMT was just one percent below December 2019 levels (the most recent pre-COVID December), and VMT rates in 24 states now exceed pre-pandemic levels. Forty-two percent of the nation’s Interstates, freeways and expressways experience congestion during peak travel times, robbing commuters of time and money and imposing increased costs on businesses, shippers and manufacturers. The report’s Appendix includes the rate of VMT change in each state from December 2019 to December 2021 and the share of Interstates, freeways and expressways in each state that are considered congested during peak travel times.

The nation’s traffic fatality rate of 1.34 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel in 2020 is significantly higher than the 2019 rate of 1.11 and is the highest fatality rate in the last 10 years, underscoring the need for improved road-

way safety investments. A total of 38,824 people were killed in traffic crashes in the United States in 2020. The report’s Appendix includes the number of 2020 traffic fatalities and traffic fatality rate in each state.

The significant deficiencies on the nation’s roads, bridges and transit systems hamper mobility and access and impose additional costs on drivers. Nationwide, 19 percent of major locally and state-maintained roads are in poor condition and 21 percent are in mediocre condition. On the nation’s urban roads, which carry 69 percent of all vehicle travel, 32 percent are in poor condition and 24 percent are in mediocre condition.

TRIP estimates that additional vehicle operating costs borne by U.S. motorists as a result of deteriorated road conditions is $141 billion annually, an average of $621 per driver. These additional vehicle operating costs (VOC) include accelerated vehicle depreciation, additional vehicle repair costs, increased fuel consumption and increased tire wear.

The Appendix includes the share of overall and urban pavements in poor and mediocre condition in each state and the total and per-driver additional VOC due to driving on deteriorated roads.

Seven percent (43,586 of 619,622) of the nation’s locally and state-maintained bridges are rated in poor/structurally deficient condition and 48 percent are rated in fair condition. A bridge is deemed structurally deficient if there is significant deterioration of the bridge deck, supports or other major components. Most bridges are designed to last 50 years before major overhaul or replacement, although many newer bridges are being designed to last 75 years or longer.

Forty percent of the nation’s bridges are more than 50 years old. The Appendix includes the share of bridges in each state that are rated in structurally deficient/poor condition and the share of bridges that are more than 50 years old.

The nation’s 2,250 transit systems provide access to employment, education, health care, shopping, recreation and social activities. In 2020, 20 percent of transit vehicles, including buses, rail cars and demand response vehicles, had met or exceeded their useful service life. Included in the report’s Appendix is the share of transit vehicles exceeding their service life in each state.

In order to improve the condition and performance of the nation’s network of roads, highways, bridges and transit systems, a significant increase in investment levels will be required to offset the large backlog in needed funding.

According to the Status of the Nation’s Highways, Bridges and Transit: Conditions and Performance Report to Congress released by the United States Department of Transportation in 2021, the United States would need to increase annual road, highway and bridge investment by 55 percent to make significant improvements in road and bridge conditions, reduce traffic congestion and improve traffic safety. The report also found that the United States would need to increase annual transit investment by 31 percent to make significant improvements in the condition of transit vehicles and facilities and to increase ridership.

“Additional federal funding from the IIJA will help the U.S. move forward with needed improvements to the nation’s roads, bridges and transit systems that will enhance their condition, safety and efficiency,” said Dave Kearby, TRIP’s executive director. “Even with this significant boost in funding, the system remains significantly underfunded and will require increased, reliable and sustained investment to meet the transportation and economic goals of the 21st century.”

Court’s Decision to Block Independent Contractor Do-Over The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas dealt a blow to the Biden administration’s efforts to delay and rescind the Trump administration’s 2021 independent contractor final rule in a decision applauded by Associated Builders and Contractors, which had sued to block those actions.

Under the court’s decision, the ABC-supported rule went into effect as scheduled on March 8, 2021, and remains in effect.

“The independent contractor final rule brings much-needed clarity and guidance to the proper classification of contractors under the Fair Labor Standards Act,” said Ben Brubeck, ABC vice president of regulatory, labor and state affairs. “For too long, businesses and contractors who want to remain independent have been subjected to burdensome lawsuits and inconsistent court rulings under the FLSA. The U.S. Department of Labor’s improper delay and withdrawal of the independent contractor rule did nothing to address the very real problems confronting millions of contractors who have made the choice to remain independent.

“This decision will provide much-needed clarity for small businesses and the entire construction industry,” said Brubeck. “Independent contractors are an essential lifeline to the construction industry, and the Trump-era independent contractor rule will ensure these workers and their clients can continue to thrive and play an important role in economic growth.”

On May 5, 2021, the DOL announced the withdrawal — effective May 6, 2021 — of the Trump-era independent contractor final rule. On May 14, 2021, ABC, the ABC Southeast Texas Chapter, the Coalition for Workforce Innovation and the Financial Services Institute filed an amended complaint challenging the DOL’s unlawful withdrawal of the independent contractor rule, a hasty and unjustified action that violated the Administrative Procedure Act, compounding a violation that began when the DOL improperly delayed the effective date of the rule in March 2021.

“Texas employs more construction workers than any other state in the country,” said Kimberly Bernard, president of the ABC Southeast Texas Chapter. “This is welcome news for our industry and can help create regulatory certainty for legitimate independent contractors and stakeholders.”

“The withdrawal of the duly finalized economic realities test was both procedurally and substantively defective, and the coalition is pleased it has been vacated as a matter of law,” said the Coalition for Workforce Innovation in a statement.

“The DOL’s actions undermined the very independent workers they purported to protect. CWI believes the updated economic realities test appropriately reflects the modern economy and looks forward to working with the DOL to further support independent workers and the choices they make for themselves, their families and their livelihoods.”

Maryland-Virginia Nice/Middleton Bridge Bridge Rehab in Replacement Receives $200M Federal Loan Parkersburg Shifts The U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) on March 15 approved a $200 million federal loan to finance part of the $636 million replacement of the Nice/Middleton Bridge, an 81year-old span across the Potomac River between Newburg, in Charles County, Md., and King George County in Virginia.

The current 1.9-mi.-long structure, which links the two states via U.S. Highway 301, was named after Maryland Gov. Harry W. Nice, who served in the late 1930s; and State Sen. Thomas “Mac” Middleton, who left public service in 2019 after being in the Maryland Senate for 24 years, where he represented southern Charles County.

to New Owners “We are looking forward to modernizing this unique bridge and providing a service life of at least 50 years for the community.”

Ken Szeliga United Bridge Partners

With its acquisition of West Virginia’s Memorial Bridge in March, Parkersburg Bridge Partners (PBP) has assumed financial responsibility for the 68-year-old toll bridge, its rehabilitation and operation. That includes setting up a demolition fund, like the one the city of Parkersburg had kept before its sale.

The Ohio River span, linking Parkersburg to Belpre, Ohio, closed March 15 for an estimated 45-day period, the start of the $50 million rehabilitation effort that is expected to last through October 2023.

“Memorial Bridge is now under full-scale rehabilitation, giving us a glimpse of the future of this historic piece of infrastructure,” said Ken Szeliga, vice president of construction and operations for United Bridge Partners, PBP’s parent company, in a news release. “We are looking forward to modernizing this unique bridge and providing a service life of at least 50 years for the community.”

The company paid the city $4 million and made no claim on approximately $11.8 million set aside over the years for maintenance and the eventual razing of the bridge. Of that, $5.4 million was earmarked for a required demolition fund, Parkersburg Finance Director Eric Jiles told the Parkersburg News and Sentinel.

In addition, PBP will create a similar fund, over which the city also will have some oversight, City Attorney Blaine Myers said in speaking to the newspaper.

“Under the acquisition and development agreement, within 30 days after closing, there is to be established a demolition fund,” he explained. “That was a substantive part of our negotiations as this was being finalized last year.”

The fund will be set up through a third party, which will ensure it is used for the intended purpose, according to Myers.

Szeliga said PBP will make annual contributions to the demolition fund.

The News and Sentinel reported that during the rehabilitation process, the city of Parkersburg will continue to employ the staff and manage the bridge. PBP will split the revenue from the bridge with the city, after costs for operations are deducted, Jiles said, but should the revenue fail to cover the city’s costs, PBP will make up the difference.

Toll rates will remain the same during the rehabilitation. see BRIDGE page 117

Bills to Receive $850M From N.Y. to Build New Stadium The Buffalo Bills will stay in western New York for at least the next 30 years after Gov. Kathy Hochul announced March 28 that the state reached agreement with the National Football League (NFL) team to help it construct a new $1.4 billion stadium in Orchard Park.

Hochul, a longtime Bills’ fan, detailed a plan where New York taxpayers will shell out $600 million toward the construction costs. The state will fully own the facility and lease it to the Bills. Taxpayers in Erie County will add another $250 million to cover building costs.

Team owners Kim and Terry Pegula will pay the remaining $550 million, following their securing of a $200 million loan from the NFL, WHEC-TV in Rochester reported.

The effort is already being called the largest construction project in western New York when work officially begins on the new Buffalo Bills Stadium. Officials in the state predict that at least 10,000 construction jobs alone will be created, and workers will come from all over the area.

A Deal That ‘Made Sense’ to Taxpayers The dollar amount is thought to be the largest public commitment for an NFL facil-

ity, according to The Guardian news site. The deal is meant to secure the Bills’ long-term future in Buffalo, with the proposed 60,000-plus-seat facility to be built across the street from Highmark Stadium, the team’s current home since 1973.

Although the taxpayer burden of 60 percent is considered high, the agreed upon funding falls in line historically. The state and county have shared about 73 percent of the cost to build, maintain and upgrade the Bills’ existing facility. Under the proposed agreement, the Bills will be responsible for covering any costs that run over the budget.

“I wanted to accomplish two major goals: Keep the Bills in western New York, keep them in the state of New York, because this is not just a western New York point of pride, it’s a point of pride for all New Yorkers,” Hochul, a Buffalo native herself, said during a press conference.

The second goal, she said, was “making sure that it made sense for our taxpayers in terms of our commitment and our return on the investment, which will be paid off in the next 22 years.”

The Guardian reported that Hochul said

The Bills are expected to recoup part of their construction costs by having season-ticket holders — for the first time — pay one-time seatlicensing charges, potentially doubling the price of their ticket package.

Former CC&T Territory Rep Old Pa. Locks, Dams System Robert P. Ronca Passes Away, 75 Set to Receive $77M for Fixes Robert P. Ronca died at his home March 21, 2022, at the age of 75.

He was the son of the late Martin J. (AKA Matz) and Roberta (Harter) Ronca of Fountain Hill, Pa. He was married to Deborah L. Ronca for 40 years.

Mr. Ronca was a 1964 graduate of the last graduating class of Fountain Hill High School. As an accomplished saxophone player, he won various music awards and attended both the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., and the Combs Music College of Philadelphia.

From 1967 to 1968, Mr. Ronca proudly served his country in the Vietnam War with the 1st Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment of the 4th Infantry Division. He bravely participated in the Tet Offensive in 1968, received both a Purple Heart and the Army Commendation Medal, and earned the rank of Sergeant E5.

After his honorable discharge from the service, Mr. Ronca built many homes in the Lehigh Valley as the owner of Creative Homes. For 24 years, he sold heavy road equipment in the northern New Jersey market. He was employed for 16 years as a territory manager of CC&T of Folcroft, Pa. He remained in this position following the acquisition of CC&T by Groff Tractor in 2018.

“He had relationships with everyone, and he knew everybody,” said Mike Chenet, president of CC&T/ GT Mid Atlantic. “It wasn’t unusual for him to walk into an office with a box of donuts for the office workers, and he would get right in to see the owner of a business. Everyone loved Robert [Ronca], and he was as honest as the day is long. He

Long awaited upgrades to southwestern Pennsylvania’s Emsworth Locks and Dams will get a $77 million boost under the federal infrastructure law as part of a wider effort to “strengthen the nation’s supply chain,” the White House announced March 29.

The funds for the deteriorating passage on the Upper Ohio River system, located 6.2 mi. from Pittsburgh’s Point State Park, will be used to construct new lock chambers that will allow large cargo ships to pass through, “relieving landside congestion and facilitating timely delivery of goods,” according to a press release from the Biden administration.

The money for the Emsworth Locks and Dams, just one of three such systems that are part of the Upper Ohio River Navigation Project, follows the January announcement that $858 million in federal infrastructure dollars will be directed toward repairing the aging and cracked Montgomery Lock and Dam in nearby Beaver County, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Due to the larger of the two lock chambers at the Emsworth system being closed for scheduled maintenance through April 15, barges have been backed up on the Ohio River for up to nine days, said the Port of Pittsburgh Commission, which advocates for infrastructure upgrades on local inland waterways. The smaller, auxiliary chamber at Emsworth is currently in operation but limits the size of barge and boat traffic that can move through.

The passage first opened to river traffic in 1921, followed by the Montgomery in 1936.

“They’re very old,” Mary Ann Bucci, the commission’s executive director, told the Pittsburgh news source. “And when you look at when Montgomery was shut down for a significant period, those delays for those barge companies were up to 10 days.

When you’re on the river, there’s no place else to go. You have to wait your turn.”

When you’re on the river, there’s no place else to go. You have to wait your turn.”

Robert P. Ronca died at his home March 21, 2022, at the age of 75.

was a great salesman and more than that, he was a great human being. He had great values and we were very happy to have him working with us for as long as he did.”

Mr. Ronca was an avid animal lover and aficionado of all genres of music. He also was a military history enthusiast of WWII and the Vietnam War. He is survived by his wife, Deborah, his son, John K. Ronca and wife, Lisa, and granddaughter Abigail C. Ronca.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to a local animal shelter or the Wounded Warrior Project.  CEG

Emsworth System Plays Vital Economic Role The news of the allocation for the Emsworth project under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (TIFIA) came as part of a larger Biden administration announcement that $2.7 billion would be distributed among 300 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) projects nationwide, adding to the $14 billion distributed earlier this year for waterways and ports.

The Post-Gazette reported that as part of

Mary Ann Bucci Port of Pittsburgh Commission

the $1.5 trillion government funding bill that passed earlier in March, Pennsylvania Sen. Bob Casey secured $12.8 million in directed community spending for the USACE’s work on the Upper Ohio locks and dams.

“Southwestern Pennsylvania’s inland waterways play a vital role in moving commerce, creating and sustaining jobs and spurring economic growth throughout the region,” Casey said in a statement. “Thanks to the infrastructure law, the [USACE] will be able to begin construction on two vital lock and dam systems on the Upper Ohio River. This investment will help strengthen our domestic supply chain and ensure that shippers can reliably deliver and take cargo from Pittsburgh to the rest of the world.”

The USACE noted that just under 22 million tons of cargo was moved on the roughly 200 miles of navigable waterways of southwestern Pennsylvania in 2019, the last year from which records are available, making it the fourth busiest inland port and 30th busiest port of any kind in the nation.

Fixes Needed Up, Down Ohio River Other parts of the system also are under repair, the newspaper noted, including the 1920s-era Dashields Locks and Dam, located about 15 mi. from Pittsburgh beyond the Emsworth passage. Scheduled maintenance on that project will run through April 7.

The larger of the two Emsworth locks underwent rehabilitation in late 2020 when the USACE closed and dewatered the passage during an approximately $5 million effort to rehabilitate the gates at each end of the lock.

During normal operating times, the Emsworth Locks and Dams averages 470 commercial lockages — or passages through the locks — every month, and up to another 400 for pleasure boats during the summer, according to the USACE’s Pittsburgh District office. 

Biden Admin Revives Plans to Move FBI Herc Holdings to HQ to Virginia or Maryland Suburbs Acquire Cloverdale Equipment Company The Biden administration is planning to move the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s headquarters out of the District of Columbia and build a new campus in suburban Virginia or Maryland.

In its fiscal 2023 budget request released March 28, the White House said the FBI’s current operations at the J. Edgar Hoover building in downtown Washington, “Can no longer support the long-term mission of the FBI.” The administration added, “The FBI has begun a multiyear process of constructing a modern, secure suburban facility from which the [bureau] can continue its mission to protect the American people.”

The Federal News Network reported that over the next year, the General Services Administration (GSA) and the FBI will work to identify a location to construct a federally owned, modern and secure facility in the suburbs for at least 7,500 personnel.

As part of the recently passed fiscal 2022 omnibus spending bill, Congress already requested a briefing from the FBI and GSA on the viability of moving the headquarters to one of three potential sites: Greenbelt, Md.; Landover, Md.; or Springfield, Va. Maryland Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen, who led efforts to block the Trump administration’s earlier attempts to build a new FBI headquarters within D.C., applauded the Biden administration for its plans for a new FBI headquarters.

“We’re very pleased that the president’s budget will include a new headquarters campus for the FBI that provides the security that they need in order to do their jobs and can accommodate the consolidation of the FBI,” Van Hollen told the Federal News Network.

Congress, in the fiscal 2022 spending bill, directed GSA to brief the House and Senate appropriations committees on the viability of moving the FBI to one of three targeted sites outside D.C. no later than 90 days after the bill passed.

Van Hollen, who serves on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said he would ensure Congress supports the administration’s requests for construction funding in later budget cycles, according to the Washington-based news source.

“We worked hard to include the language we did in the omnibus bill, requiring that this move happen, and that we get back to where we were before the Trump administration, and we’ll be fighting to make sure the resources are available,” Van Hollen explained.

In its budget request, the White House said GSA and the FBI will finalize an updated program of requirements for a secure suburban campus over the next year as part of their respective budget requests for 2024.

Those updated requirements, the Biden administration added, will include the final number of personnel expected to work at the new campus.

Van Hollen was joined by several top Maryland lawmakers, including Sen. Ben Cardin, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, and Gov. Larry Hogan, among others, in praising the Biden White House’s vision for a new

FBI campus.

“The president’s budget is evidence that his administration is serious about moving forward with a consolidated headquarters that can effectively serve the American people,” the group said in a statement. “We look forward to working with President Biden and his administration to continue advancing this project and are confident the Maryland sites in Greenbelt and Landover are the best locations for a Herc Holdings, a North American equipment rental supconsolidated FBI headquarters location.” plier operating through Herc Rentals, entered a purchase GSA also will begin the first steps to acquire, if necessary, agreement to acquire Cloverdale Equipment Company.

YouTube Influencer Joins Forces With NED, Hyundai

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

A popular YouTube personality, social media influencer and owner of a forestry mulching company in northwest South Carolina has recently joined with National Equipment Dealers (NED) and Hyundai Construction Equipment to market the latter’s mid-size machines on the global video platform.

Although Upstate Brush Control may be a small operation, compared with its partners in the venture, its impact on the equipment industry through social media continues to grow exponentially.

Jon Byrnes founded Upstate Brush Control in Taylors, S.C., in 2014 after years of searching for what type of career suited him best. His eureka moment came at a chance encounter where he saw a skid steer in action — one equipped with a mulcher on its front.

“My jaw just dropped at seeing what this piece of equipment could do,” he said. “I had never seen one before and I was just blown away that you could take it in the woods and chop up trees and brush. After that, I started researching the forestry mulching industry, how the business works and what its brands were. I also began to look up videos on YouTube.”

Now, he pairs his infectious personality and love for his work with creating instructive videos about the machines he uses on his company’s projects. As a result, Byrnes has gained the trust of thousands of followers who subscribe to his YouTube videos, from which millions of views have been tracked. The high rate of “likes” and comments on his videos speak to his engaging style.

Byrnes’ family-friendly, first-person style includes filming each video with a focus on the “operator experience” using unique camera angles.

Jon Byrnes founded Upstate Brush Control in Taylors, S.C., in 2014 after years of searching for what type of career suited him best.

They have become so prominent that one need only type “forestry mulching” into a Google search and several of Byrnes’ videos are among the first to appear.

“YouTube is our main platform, but we do have Instagram and Facebook accounts that we link our videos to,” he said.

“I think that we are at about 56,000 subscribers currently, and we have gotten 16 million views.”

Corey Rogers of NED and Hyundai representatives were impressed enough with Byrnes and his enthusiastic videos that they worked out a deal to present Upstate Brush Control with a full-size Hyundai HX140AL excavator, weighing in at 34,000 lbs.

Videos Lead to Symbiotic Relationship Soon, Byrnes’ popularity and the style and quality of his videos began to attract the attention of big-name equipment manufacturers and dealers, eager to use different social media platforms to market their machines.

At the 2021 Utility Expo, the biennial trade show held in Louisville, Ky., another popular social media icon named Mike Simon of Dirt Perfect in Indiana introduced Byrnes to Corey Rogers, vice president of marketing of NED, a network of 14 heavy equipment dealerships in five Southeast states.

Simon, a friend of Byrnes, did so at a Social Media Influencer Meet & Greet hosted by Hyundai Construction Equipment.

“I told [Rogers] I was in the forestry mulching business, and I was the only guy there that worked specifically in that job,” Byrnes said. “Everybody else did the work, but it is not their main line of business.”

At the time, he was looking to expand the equipment in his company’s yard to include larger machines beyond Upstate Brush Control’s tracked mulchers and small excavators.

“Corey asked me to stay in touch with him after the show and that is what I did,” he said. “We did not know what equipment size to get — it came down to what they had available — but I wanted a machine with a dozer blade on the front.

“I am a very strong believer in the Lord and in my faith, so I was praying that they would be able to find a machine with a blade,” Byrnes said. “I wanted one because running a forestry mulcher with a blade on a bank or over a hillside gives you a little bit more stability.”

Rogers and the equipment maker’s representatives were impressed enough with Byrnes and his enthusiastic videos that they worked out a deal to present Upstate Brush Control with a full-size Hyundai HX140AL excavator, weighing in at 34,000 lbs.

Byrnes was thrilled to get the machine, which came equipped with auxiliary hydraulics, a quick coupler, a Rockland hydraulic thumb and heavy-duty bucket — and the front-dozer blade that he prayed would be included.

Byrnes Videos Hyundai First Chance He Gets In one of his latest YouTube videos, Byrnes showcases the new Hyundai excavator and what it can do on a job site where the goal is to clear the land of trees and underbrush. In it, he expertly guides the machine off the back of a flatbed truck before moving it into the dirt while several of his skid steers can be seen moving piles of logs and underbrush in the background.

Throughout the demonstration, he talks about the Hyundai’s quiet ride, how it handles, the ease with which it takes down trees and how it moves piles of vegetation. In addition, he takes the video camera inside to show YouTube watchers how well an operator can see his surroundings while running the excavator. He also notes some of the features found within the Hyundai.

NED and Upstate Brush Control have a three-month agreement in place that allows the forestry mulching company to use and promote the machines it has obtained through NED, Byrnes said, in exchange for his producing weekly videos. see BYRNES page 98

Minnich Educates Dealers Through Minnich University Minnich Manufacturing, a manufacturer of concrete dowel pin drills, concrete vibrators and vibrator monitoring systems, recently launched Minnich University — a program aimed at educating Minnich dealer sales teams with essential product knowledge and hands-on demonstrations.

Minnich University is held four times a year at Minnich Manufacturing in Mansfield, Ohio, with two sessions in the spring and two sessions in the fall. Taking place over the course of two days, each session includes a factory tour, company information, product and sales education, and demonstrations. Dealers send members of their sales, marketing and store management teams to participate and gain a better understanding of Minnich and its products.

The hands-on product demonstrations are a beneficial aspect of the sessions. Minnich will set up a drill or concrete vibrator and give participants the opportunity to operate it and practice its functions firsthand — all under the supervision of a Minnich product expert.

The aim of the sessions is to provide a positive learning environment for dealers so they can obtain an effective understanding of Minnich products, collaborate and feel a sense of teamwork and support from other Minnich representatives, and empower themselves with vital product knowledge to boost their confidence when working with customers.

Twelve members of the Farrell Equipment & Supply team visited Minnich and learned about the entire line of Minnich vibrators and drills, took a factory tour and benefited from hands-on experience with the products.

“At Minnich, we believe in education and relationships,” said Rob Minnich, president/chief marketing officer (CMO) of Minnich Manufacturing. “Our goal is to have dealers leave Minnich University feeling confident and welleducated about our products. We are always excited for people to see our facility and meet our people, as they speak volumes about who we are.”

The most recent session hosted Minnich dealer Farrell Equipment & Supply from Eau Claire, Wis. Twelve members of the Farrell team visited Minnich and learned about the entire line of Minnich vibrators and drills, took a factory tour and benefited from hands-on experience with the products.

“My biggest takeaway from Minnich University is how simple everything is. It’s honest, high-quality manufacturing,” said Ryan Johnson, sales representative of Farrell Equipment & Supply. “I’m glad the sessions focused on the core points of everything so we could get a basic, solid understanding of the products. This will help me remember some of the key selling points of all the equipment to help us grow as a dealer.”

Minnich has continually invested in dealer partnerships over the years and is committed to providing education and support.

ACCU-POUR’s Software Platform Reaches Major Milestone Next generation technology has more than 500,000 cu. yds. of concrete poured through volumetric concrete mixers in only two and half years in the field. The growing adoption of more contractors using Cemen Tech’s ACCU-POUR aligns with the expanding use of volumetric concrete mixers across the country.

“Every day, volumetric mixers are pouring concrete but very few are using modern technology to run their business. At our core, Cemen Tech is a technology company, and we are leading the way in adding smart technology to the volumetric concrete industry,” said Connor Deering, Cemen Tech CEO and president.

“Downtime and waste are killers for most businesses. That is why we offer technology to help reduce downtime with your equipment and more accurate tracking of your materials,” continued Deering. “Our technology products surround you and your fleet of volumetric mixers with vital resources to keep you moving and keep your business as profitable as possible.”

Office and mobile software, two major components of ACCU-POUR, connect the office, dispatch and volumetric mixer fleet in real-time. ACCU-POUR is compatible with any volumetric mixer, according to the manufacturer.

ACCU-POUR tracks every yard of concrete poured and gives immediate access to production data allowing operators to make proactive decisions based on actual and current company data.

Caterpillar Expands Cat Command for Loading to D3 Line Caterpillar announced the expansion of Cat Command for Loading to its D3-series skid steer and compact track loader line.

Removing the operator from the machine, Command provides joystick-controlled remote operation of the skid steer and compact track loader models to increase safety and productivity when operating in challenging and potentially hazardous environments.

Cat Command for Loading for skid steer and compact track loaders will be available in two configurations — lineof-sight operation via a lightweight console and non-line-ofsight operation via a remote Command station. By allowing the user to comfortably control the machine from a safe location, Command maintains high machine productivity in difficult operating environments such as stevedoring, industrial and waste, demolition, and site decommissioning, according to the manufacturer.

A dealer-installed field kit makes any Cat D3 skid steer or compact track loader model Command-ready. The line-ofsight system includes indicator lights, wireless receiver, and antennas installed on the cabin roof with the command activation switch mounted behind a lockable door with groundlevel access.

New Holland Launches New C362 Compact Track Loader

With 114 gross hp, a rated operating capacity of 6,200 lbs., and a breakout force of 12,900 lbs., the C362 is ready to tackle any project.

Skid steer and track loaders have become an essential tool and necessary investment for everyday chores for many farms, landscapers and construction operations. It is also is a key part of New Holland’s brand DNA, and this year the company recognizes 50 years of innovation and leadership in this sector.

To further support customer needs, New Holland Construction launches the C362, its largest and most powerful compact track loader. With 114 gross hp, a rated operating capacity of 6,200 lbs., and a breakout force of 12,900 lbs., the C362 is ready to tackle any project.

“New Holland has never built a loader — wheel or track — this large or powerful, or with so much capacity as the new C362 compact track loader,” said Tyler Mills, director of New Holland Construction. “This machine redefines best-in-class performance in key areas, giving you the confidence to tackle jobs you hadn’t considered before.

Customers can do more and operate longer thanks to the C362’s power, strength and stability.”

Starting from the outside, the C362’s new frame design is built to last with a heavyduty steel rear door and rear hood. Bucket cylinders are mounted on the front of the boom arms to increase ingress clearance and add even more pounds of bucket breakout force.

The New Holland Super Boom vertical lift design optimizes the C362 for lift-andcarry operations. With greater dump reach and height, customers can easily load highsided truck boxes or hoppers. Full 360degree visibility comes with the C362’s lowprofile Super Boom arm and shoulder

design, an integrated rear camera, and new LED front work lights. Operators can see even more with the C362’s large glass door, lower front-door threshold and see-through area on the cab roof. No matter the job, the C362 provides maximum efficiency and safety.

The low-profile undercarriage design eases cleanout, reduces noise, and increase durability. It also provides an extended track life and smoother ride due to the steelembedded tracks rolling on the rubber instead of steel.

The in-cab 8-in. LCD display gives operators a quick look at engine settings and performance information. The EZ EH custom screen settings allows for easy navigation and quick operation adjustments. The display also provides greater visibility to the rear of the loader for an efficient, safer operation.

The C362 also is built with electrohydraulic controls featuring multiple speed and sensitivity settings, including creep mode and automatic straight-line tracking.

Creep mode, a slow-speed option, gives the operator greater control for slow-speed operations such as trenching and cold-planing with speed thresholds of one to 100 increments. Automatic straight-line tracking improves productivity and precision as it keeps a straight working and traveling path in uneven terrain.

For regular service or maintenance, the C362 allows for easy access to the engine.

The rear door and hood provide quick service entry for daily and periodic maintenance.

All major service points can be accessed by tilting the cab forward.

Black Diamond Uses Every Onsite Resource in the Rough Founded in 2017 by father-and-son team Black Diamond is currently working on a 26-acre site that will be the location of more than 300 multi-family housing units.

Robert Timberman and Robert Timberman Jr., Black Diamond General Contractors is a full-service earth work and site work company based in the Charleston Peninsula of South Carolina. They do a bit of everything — from groundwork, infrastructure work, water, sewer city work, city repairs — they even have a vertical construction division.

“We do a lot of public utilities, site development, and we do some vertical construction, mostly in residential. We do commercial as well,” said Timberman Jr. “Essentially, what we are is a one-stop shop.

We’ll get a site that’s completely wooded.

We’ll clear it, develop it, install the stormwater, water mains, sewer mains, and the public utilities and hand over a finished product ready for vertical construction.”

The Timbermans explained that one of the keys to success when developing a site from the ground up, is the ability to use as many onsite resources as possible.

“The thing we’re probably most known for is the ability to go onto a site and use every resource of the site,” Timberman Sr. “We’ve got a 650M dozer, two said. “From the topsoil screening, the Black Diamond owns 17 Case machines, and many of them are currently 1150M dozers, one that has a Leica roots of the trees, recycling for mulch working on this 26-acre site.

Timberman Sr. explained how the “When we moved on to it, it was skid steer is one of the most critical wooded. It dated all the way back to machines on the site from the first day the Civil War.

“When we got the site, we found a couple pieces of railroad iron from the early 1900s,” Timberman Jr. said. “This site was heavily timbered, and we had a lot of low areas that were holding water, not necessarily wetlands but just holding a lot of water with a clay bottom. So, a lot of our tracked equipment was having trouble getting through that. But the low ground pressure machines from Case really did the job in getting through there and getting us to where we can get to hard ground.

that’s possible. Well, if you’re sitting in a piece of equipment, contrary to what people may believe, it is pure work. And you want to make them as comfortable as possible.”

Dozers Shape the Site from Site Prep to Final Grade At this point in the project, the dozers on site have graded down 5 ft., with an additional 2 ft. to go.

“We’ll start with the 650M — it’s equipped with a root rake,” Timberman Jr. said. “So, in the initial ground clearing stage, that root rake is instrumental for clearing a lot of the organics out of the top of the soils and stuff like that and helping us clear the sites. It’s absolutely a workhorse and has plenty of power. It’s also a rough grade [dozer]. Once we remove the root rake, we’ll use it to cut a lot of the overburden and top soil out of our way to get down to the strata that we want.”

After the rough grade, Black Diamond runs two Case 1150M dozers in tandem — one of which is equipped with a Leica machine control solution.

“I cannot speak enough to the power,” Timberman Jr. said. “They sound like jet engines when they get going. And running them in tandem is just a really great way to push a lot of dirt in a very short amount of time. Two of our experienced operators will actually run the blades touching, and then run down the line and push. Like I said, they cut five feet off of this particular area in a day — that’s an extreme amount of dirt to move.

Then the 1150M with the Leica system is definitely our finished grade dozer. And the automatic mode, we have it set within fivetenths of where we want to be, and then it’ll absorb or engage the automatic mode. Once you’ve prepped and then you engage the see DIAMOND page 84

Black Diamond started with a TV340 skid steer and then eventually got an excavator and then grew into a 650M dozer. Hills Machinery helped them decide which pieces to buy, and when.

automatic mode, it will do different pitches if you have crowns in your road, inverted crowns. It really is an all-around, versatile machine.”

“The machine control options are invaluable,” Timberman Sr. added. “The Leica system, we’re just starting out with it. While everything’s speaking to one another. If my man is placed in a box for storm and using the Leica, the dozer knows exactly where it’s at, we’re using the exact same coordinates, the exact same system.

“I absolutely love our Case equipment,” Timberman Jr. said. “I’ve had a lot of different pieces of equipment over the years. My dad’s been building for 37 years and I’ve been building under him most of my life.

“The overall ease of use, ease of maintenance, ease of repair — it is by far one of the easiest pieces I’ve been able to work on.”

Protected By Case ProCare Black Diamond buys all of its Case equipment through Hills Machinery. All Case D Series excavators and M Series dozers come standard with Case ProCare — a three-year Case SiteWatch telematics subscription, a three-year/3,000-hour full-machine factory

warranty, and a three-year/2,000-hour planned maintenance contract.

“It’s invaluable,” Timberman Sr. explained. “We’re equipment operators. We know how to do job sites. We know how to run that. Equipment has evolved to the point to where all of the new systems that are incorporated in it, which are a huge benefit, also create a huge challenge. So, to have somebody trained, that’s available at any given time, and Hills Machinery will answer the phone, whether it’s Sunday, it does not matter, there is always someone available to me in order to take care of that system and get it up and running or adjusted if need be.

I can call them on the phone, they can walk me through the codes, if I want to adjust the pressure on the thumb, he’ll tell me exactly how to walk through the screen and do that.”

“They help keep track of your maintenance,” Timberman Jr. added. “They keep you accountable for it which, honestly, when you’re out here doing this kind of work, it slips your mind. You don’t really think about doing your maintenance until you hear something squeaking or breaking. You hate to say it that way, but that’s the reality of our industry. We do a really good job of staying on top of it, but the ProCare package is absolutely instrumental. And I think the

argument was always, ‘is it worth the money?’ And the answer is yes, especially with a company like Hills, because they definitely hold up their end of the bargain on that kind of thing.”

Your Case Dealer as Strategic Partner “If it wasn’t for Hills Machinery and Case we would not have a business, point blank,” Timberman Sr. said. “We started in 2017 with this particular venture. We started with the TV340 skid steer and then eventually got an excavator and then grew into a 650M dozer. After that, as the larger jobs formed, I sat with Mr. Hills and also our salesman Donnie Buhrmaster, and we formulated that growth and we were very strategic in what pieces to buy, when to buy them and how that would fit into my overall plan. So, Hills was beyond instrumental in helping us in this growth, otherwise it would not have been possible.

“Knowing the right piece of equipment at the right time is probably our weakest component for myself and my son. To jump into this level of grading and work that we do and the amount of it at this point in time, that advice, that guidance was invaluable.”

With a lifetime of experience, and the help

of a good partner in Hills Machinery, the Timbermans were able to take an idea and turn it into a large, profitable venture in a short period of time.

“The equipment is going to cost you to sit there,” Timberman Sr. said. “Whether it’s being run or whether it’s not, your payment is coming due. So, any advice I would give to everyone is run your equipment as much as you can. Your hours are always going to be your hours. Your overtime pay versus your equipment costs and your production levels… The more production you get out of your equipment monthly, you are far better off than trying to conserve on the pay. The men, I leave it as an option, they can work 40 hours a week, or they can work all the overtime that they wish.

“It’s worked for us,” he concluded.

“We’ve managed to pull off projects that would normally be 12 months, and we’re entering our sixth month, and getting ready to pave and leave the job. We have trimmed six months off of that schedule by adopting the overtime, running the equipment, which allowed us to grow and get more equipment because that project was done, and it gave us the ability to go on to the next opportunity.”

Technology is playing an important role in multiple workflows across the architecture, engineering and construction industries, with most frequent usage for project management and oversight, building design and building construction.

The pandemic has driven the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industries to adopt new technologies in order to keep projects on track and a step ahead in an increasingly digital world. One technology being quickly adopted by this professional set are 360-degree cameras — which according to a new survey conducted by RICOH THETA are owned or used by almost half of all respondents, with 79 percent of them utilizing the cameras for work.

The survey, fielded by Dynata to industry professionals, explored the usage of tech devices such as cameras, smartphones and other platforms/software commonly used by AEC professionals.

Technology is playing an important role in multiple workflows across these professions with most frequent usage for project management and oversight (72 percent), building design (54 percent) and building construction (51 percent). However, despite an increasing reliance on general photography and video technology, these devices often fall short on delivering the professional’s desired results. Some key issues identified in the survey when it comes to more traditional imaging include: • Lack of high image quality (30 percent) • Cumbersome image sharing processes (28 percent) • Insufficient image capture range for properly capturing an entire space (26 percent) Addressing some of these challenges,

360-degree cameras are compact, beginnerfriendly devices with simple interfaces that can capture entire spaces with a single button press. Image quality is often quite high among quality 360-degree cameras, with some models containing sensors that capture high-resolution imagery even in dim or poorly lit environments.

Another common feature among recent 360 cameras is pairing with smartphones via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that enables easier image viewing and sharing. Given these features, the survey identified that more than ¾ of respondents believe that 360-degree cameras would work better for them, particularly for: • Documenting jobsite progress (57 percent) • Recording site environment (55 percent) • Sharing details/progress with colleagues (52 percent) • Sharing details/progress with clients (50 percent) “At RICOH THETA, we are continually working to innovate products that meet the needs of our core customers,” said Shinobu Fujiki, general manager of RICOH Company’s THETA Business division.

“We recognize that the AEC market is ripe for 360-degree technology adoption, so we conducted this research to better understand workflows, and in turn, find solutions that help design professionals do their jobs more effectively.”

Terex Utilities Sales Team Volunteers in S.D. Community

Terex team members prepped bed kits for Sleep in Heavenly Peace by sanding, pre-drilling and staining the materials to be assembled for local children.

Terex Utilities team members from across the nation traveled to Watertown, S.D., for the company’s annual sales team meeting in March. While in Watertown, 45 employees teamed up and volunteered at two area nonprofit organizations that serve area youth.

Approximately 20 Terex team members prepped bed kits for 15 beds that were donated by Terex to Sleep in Heavenly Peace (SHP). This non-profit organization was founded on the premise that having a bed to sleep in is a basic need that contributes to proper physical, emotional and mental stability of children. The organization has more than 250 local chapters across the nation, which build beds and provide mattresses and bedding, so that kids don’t have to sleep on the floor.

Terex team members prepped the kits by sanding, pre-drilling and staining the materials to be assembled for local children. Each bed will come with a mattress, along with bedding donated by Terex team members in Watertown.

“We are very appreciative of Terex for holding our first on site company sponsored build event in Watertown,” said Katie Stransky, president of the SIHP. “This marks a turning point for our organization as we continue to build momentum and build more beds for our area youth.”

“The process went very smoothly in lining up this build at the Terex facility. We brought all the tools for the build and instructed their volunteers how to success-

Volunteers from Terex Utilities restocked shelves for Watertown Area People Against Child Hunger.

Terex — and we’ve made volunteering a tradition for our annual sales meeting,” said Darryl Niven, Terex Utilities vice president and general manager. “Helping to build beds for area youth was awarding, yet humbling. It’s a good feeling to know that we’re helping to give local kids a comfortable place to sleep at night.”

Another group of 25 Terex team members volunteered for Watertown PACH, or Watertown Area People Against Child Hunger. The volunteers helped restock shelves and prepped the bagging area for the next weekly packing night. PACH works with the Watertown and Codington County school districts to provide nutritious snacks and meals to students who need food for weekends during the school year. The program feeds more than 500 Darryl Niven students every week.

Terex Utilities “Terex came on a non-packing night to help prep for the rest of the school year,” said Marci Lewno, board member and inventory coordinator of PACH. “The fully complete each station,” Stransky amount of work they did allowed for our added. regular prep volunteers to take a week off, “We had about 15 people from our core SHP team there to assist their vol- Terex team members prepped bed kits for 15 and they got a few extra items ready for unteers.

Do-It-Yourself Repair Order Could Benefit Construction from page 1

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Have you been following the Right-to-Repair debate?

Though President Joe Biden’s executive order limiting anticompetitive practices was meant to chiefly benefit consumers and farmers, it has implications for the construction sector. And not everyone is on the do-it-yourself bandwagon.

The aim of the right-to-repair order was to allow owners to self-repair personal electronic devices, automobiles and machines. Farmers would benefit from the opportunity to repair the heavy machinery they own, and by extension so would construction equipment owners. The order has met with some opposition from equipment manufacturers and distributors.

Specifically, it urges the Federal Trade Commission to exercise statutory rulemaking authority to address anti-competitive restrictions on third-party repair or self-repair of items, “such as the restrictions imposed by powerful manufacturers that prevent farmers from repairing their own equipment.”

Biden believes that more often than not if you own a product, from a smartphone to a tractor, these days “you don’t have the freedom to choose how or where to repair that item you purchased.” At least two members of Congress feel the same.

The Agricultural Right to Repair act, introduced by Senator Jon Tester of Montana, would give farmers the right to DIY. Under it, parts, tools, software and documents would be made available to machine owners to repair, diagnose and maintain their equipment.

It was written with two guarantees: that parts are replaceable with commonly available tools or that special tools are provided to owners under fair and reasonable terms.

Permission to DIY Under Tester’s proposal, copyrights and patents would be part of the public domain once a manufacturer ceases to produce documentation, parts, software or tools for a particular machine.

Tester, a farmer himself, claimed to have seen firsthand “the unfair practices” of equipment manufacturers that “make it harder and harder for folks to work on their tractors themselves — forcing them to go to an authorized mechanic and pay an arm and a leg for necessary repairs.”

He believes manufacturers have prevented producers from fixing their own machines in order to bolster corporate profits. “They’ve done it at the expense of family farmers and ranchers, who work hard every day to harvest the food that feeds families across the country,” he said.

“Farmers operate in tight windows and on tight margins, and they simply can’t afford to waste time or money bringing their equipment to dealer-authorized mechanics in the middle of a season. They need to be able to repair their own equipment, and this legislation will secure them that right.”

Congressman Bobby Rush of Illinois introduced the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act. Similar to Tester’s bill, it targets the automotive industry on behalf of consumers.

While the issue affects many equipment sectors, it is believed the ag industry has faced a hardship from an increasingly concentrated, less competitive — and more expensive market.

The White House believes heavy machinery manufacturers have developed such sophisticated repair tools, software and diagnostics that farmers and construction equipment owners are prevented from repairing their own equipment.

These proprietary elements force owners to pay dealer rates for repairs the end user or a third party could do the work much cheaper, believes the Biden team. The FTC voted last summer to adopt the order, saying it would target

The FTC will enforce policy limiting anti-competitive practices which it believes can significantly raise costs for consumers.

repair restrictions that violate antitrust laws.

“These types of restrictions can significantly raise costs for consumers, stifle innovation,” aid Lina M. Khan, FTC chair. They also “close off business opportunity for independent repair shops, create unnecessary electronic waste, delay timely repairs and undermine resiliency.”

Machinery manufacturers beg to differ.

The Perils of DIY The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) maintains that its members and their dealers already work to maximize productivity and reduce downtime for machinery.

“Overly-broad ‘Right-to-Repair’ legislation is not only unnecessary, it would risk the safety, durability and environmental sustainability of equipment,” according to AEM. The concern by manufacturers, such as John Deere, is that end users and third-party repair shops would have access to back-end source code “which can be used to reset safety features, reprogram control units or change settings that affect emissions and safety compliance.”

The Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) issued a statement in response to Biden’s order. Brian P. McGuire, association president, said that the right-to-repair directive “is a solution in search of a problem.”

He said consumers of heavy equipment can already diagnose and repair their machinery and tractors. However, they cannot alter the safety, security and environmental protections on the equipment.

“AED strongly urges the FTC to consider the significant differences between repairing heavy machinery and modifying or tampering with it, as the agency ponders future action.”

AED believes that because the FTC is an independent agency, the president cannot compel it to act.

“Despite the executive order, it’s unclear what steps the FTC will take or even which actions the agency has the statutory authority to commence without congressional authorization,” said McGuire.

AED represents companies that sell, rent, service and manufacture equipment for construction, mining, farm, energy, forestry and industrial applications.

“The equipment distributed by our member companies contains sophisticated technology with complex safety and emissions features,” Daniel Fisher, AED vice president of government and external affairs, said in addressing the commission prior to the agency announcing its enforcement plans. “AED is concerned with the FTC’s plans to adopt a policy statement supporting ‘right to repair’ initiatives and the possibility of subsequent regulations as contemplated by President Biden’s recent executive order.”

AED believes that a primary basis for applying these policies to the equipment industry is based on a false narrative.

The claim that customers are unable to fix their machinery is misleading, the association maintains.

“To the contrary, equipment manufacturers and distributors make available diagnostic tools, repair information and parts. However, consumers do not have the ability to modify the complex environmental and safety protections on the equipment,” said Fisher.

AED requested that policymakers “refrain from mandating this type of unfettered access.”

The association believes a broad mandate applied to the equipment industry will be detrimental to both safety and environmental compliance.

“Indeed, given that customers are already able to repair

Industry, But Some Firms Question If It’s Really Necessary their own equipment, the primary reason someone would want the ability to access and alter source code is to override emission controls and safety mechanisms to increase performance,” Fisher pointed out.

“This is not fixing equipment; this is modifying it,” he added.

The equipment industry has invested time and resources to meet the EPA’s Tier IV diesel emissions standards, and the right-to-repair order “threatens these gains,” said Fisher, because the public could circumvent environmental protections to boost performance.

Here’s another area where the order has implications for the construction industry: Modern heavy equipment has safety features to protect both equipment operators and the public while machinery is in use.

“Granting access to override safety features poses undue risk on operators and bystanders while equipment is in use,” he said.

AED wants policymakers to recognize that there’s a big difference between a cellphone and a backhoe. “Heavy machinery has a significantly longer life cycle that may be jeopardized by granting unfettered access to source code,” said Fisher.

Equipment will often be sold to a customer, then traded-in, resold or rented when a new model is purchased. Modifications to a machine can jeopardize its durability, negatively impacting the environment when it’s considered unusable and has to be junked.

“Allowing for modification would subject AED members to significant, unnecessary legal liability issues due to an end-user’s ability to tamper with machinery source code,” said Fisher.

The bottom line, he said, is that end users already have the parts and info they need to repair their machines.

“The only reason for greater access contemplated by right-to-repair policies is to circumvent safety and emissions standards or to access proprietary intellectual property,” he said.

The association urged the FTC “to refrain from adopting a policy statement in favor of right-to-repair, recognizing that the equipment industry’s customers do not need any additional resources to fix their machinery.”

The issue is not a new one. For several years now, industry associations working together have successfully kept right-to-repair mandates at the state level at bay. The Equipment Dealers Association (EDA) is also fighting the legislation on behalf of its members.

“These very broad bills have been introduced in 30-plus U.S. states and lump ag and construction equipment in with consumer electronics in an effort to give end-users the right to modify equipment,” maintains the association. “Unlike cell phones, modifying heavy equipment creates safety and environmental violations that pose an inherent risk to those who operate, repair and sell it.”

Deere & Co. announced in March it will make expanded repair software available to customers. This is considered a major win for farmers who have lobbied for years for the ability to do their own mechanical work.

“For more than 180 years, John Deere has empowered customers to maintain their equipment to keep it running right and minimize downtime,” the company said in announcing the software availability.

“As part of that long-standing tradition, we are proud to announce that we’re enhancing the capabilities of our existing diagnostic tools and expanding their availability.”

Starting in May, the diagnostic service tool, Customer Service Advisor, will be made available directly to customers and independent repair shops through JohnDeereStore.com. The tool will continue to be available through John Deere dealerships.

“In 2023, we will roll out an enhanced customer solution that includes a mobile device interface, and the ability to download secure software updates directly to embedded controllers on select John Deere equipment with 4G connections.”

The software unlocks “deeper system levels” to allow those with the expertise and desire to make more advanced repairs themselves, said Deere.  CEG

Washington Bridge Renovation Set for November 2022 Finish

By Ken Liebeskind CEG CORRESPONDENT

The renovation of the Washington Bridge, which carries U.S. Route 1 over the Housatonic River in Milford and Stratford, Conn., began in mid-August 2021 and is set for completion in late November 2022.

Mohawk Northeast of Plantsville, Conn., is the contractor.

According to the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), “The work on the bridge is for the rehabilitation of the concrete and structural steel members to restore the structure integrity and extend the operational life of the bridge. The existing structural steel, concrete and mechanical and electrical systems are in need of repair. As a result, major structural steel movable span repairs will take place to restore areas of section lost to rust and pitting.

“Substructure and superstructure concrete are in a similar state, therefore repairs to the abutments, wingwall, piers, arches, deck and prestressed deck units will also commence. This scope of work will include identifying and removing areas of degraded concrete and replacement with new concrete.

“To improve operating efficiency of the structure, electrical and mechanical components will be replaced and refurbished, such as overall electrical upgrades throughout the structure, upgrades to the control desk, improved navigation lighting and replacement of limit switches.

Mechanically, new primary motors, upgrades to the span locks, and new and refurbished crankshafts will be installed.”

On Jan. 28. a CTDOT project summary

The work on the bridge is for the rehabilitation of the concrete and structural steel members to restore the structure integrity and extend the operational life of the bridge.

The Washington Bridge is the longest drawbridge on the Boston Post Road, a steel trunnion-bearing bascule drawbridge that is 859 ft. in length and 43 ft. in width, featuring two lanes in each direction for vehicular traffic and a sidewalk for pedestrians.

The existing structural steel, concrete and mechanical and electrical systems are in need of repair.

The equipment Mohawk Northeast is using on the job includes a Model A-62 Aspen snooper.

• full-depth repair of concrete deck and approaches; • surface concrete repairs for abutments, wingwalls and parapets; • structural concrete repairs for arches, ribs, columns, pier caps and diaphragms; • crack repairs by epoxy injection; and • installation of overlay and membrane waterproofing and asphaltic joint replacement.

The project is scheduled to proceed in three stages: the north section of the bridge, the mid-section of the bridge and the south section of the bridge.

Byrnes Impresses Hyundai With His Enthusiastic Machine Demo Videos BYRNES from page 40

“There is nothing that says we must do so many videos for so many hours for NED, but whenever we get on a job, someone here will video either the skid steer, the excavator or the mulcher in action,” he said. “I am not recording every job — only select projects. For one thing, taking job videos is a lot of work. Today, we are doing so because there is no huge rush in getting it done. On some, though, when it is late in the day, and we have a long drive ahead of us to get back home, we will not shoot a video.”

Besides receiving the Hyundai excavator, Byrnes noted that everyone he has worked with at NED has been extremely helpful, including the people in the parts and service department at the nearby Columbia dealership.

“They have gone above and beyond for us, and we have been most impressed with their efforts. If there is a problem with the excavator, I just call them, and they take care of the issue promptly.”

simple mulching jobs in the early days to now being able to do large land clearing projects.

“There are two sides to our business,” Byrnes said. “One is the forestry mulching, which is cutting up underbrush and small trees, beautifying wooded areas and cleaning up ponds; and the second part of our work are larger jobs that require the excavator and dozers, the traditional land clearing where we take everything out and create a home site, cut out a driveway and dig a basement.”

He credits the three guys — Will Walker, Josh Gallant and Micah Pust — that have worked for him for the past several years as keys to the company’s success.

Faith Leads Byrnes to Career-Altering Moment Byrnes grew up in South Carolina’s Upstate, the son of a homebuilder, and spent time around his father’s construction projects since the age of five.

During his teen years, he went to work for a fence contractor for four years, before subcontracting under his own business for another four years until 2007.

But, in 2008, Byrnes said, most work began to dry up due to the Great Recession.

“We had focused on large farms in our fence business using equipment like skid steers,” he said.

“My dad ended up moving out of his business and we partnered together for about three to four years to build houses and additions, but I began to want Jon Byrnes of Upstate Brush Control works inside the cab of a Hyundai HX140AL excavator. to do something different.”

He considered entering the military, which he Seeing Other Videos Leads respected, but soon realized that his faith was pulling him in Him to Make His Own another direction.

Not long after starting his business, Byrnes began watch“A buddy of mine asked me to go hunting with him down near Columbia and when we pulled up to this place, that’s ing Fecon videos on YouTube, in addition to those of various when I noticed the skid steer with a Fecon mulcher on its contractors.

With both the construction business and the military on his gested that I should just start making my own videos to show mind at the time, the career-altering moment clarified to him customers what we could do,” he said. “Soon, I would go out that what he liked doing best was driving equipment and per- to a job and say to them, ‘We’re going to take this machine, forming doing tree work, which, ultimately led him to a mulch everything down and cut it up.’ They told me they had never seen anything like it before, so I would get my phone career in forestry mulching.

Crews Substantially Complete $92M Job in Middlebury MIDDLEBURY from page 100

“No major utility issues were discovered throughout the project,” said Hyatt. “KCC was able to acquire seven acres just outside of downtown Middlebury that became our storage yards for the precast and all aggregates and construction materials. Every involved party whether it was KCC, VAOT, town of Middlebury, all made it a point to work as a collective group to achieve the bridge opening date.”

The temporary bridges were constructed in 2017 and taken down in 2020 over one week.

“The plan of attack was to take it out the same way it went in using a crane and excavator/dozer,” said Hyatt. “The bridge was The Middlebury Bridge & Rail project, a Vermont Agency of Transportation initiative in collaboration with the town of Middlebury, is nearing complepicked from its place and flown back to sit (VTrans) tion this summer. on the approach in order to later be dismantled. The challenge was creating the space to lay down the bridge for dismantling as well as coordination with the town/railroad.”

The bridges were manufactured by Mabey and were made of steel members that were pinned and bolted together. They sat on precast concrete abutment slabs with a precast backwall to hold back the approaches.

The bridge was erected using a Caterpillar 307 excavator and telehandler, a Cat D4 dozer and a 100-ton Link-Belt crane. The approach work was installed using Cat D4 dozers.

Taking down the bridges was performed utilizing mechanical methods,” said Hyatt, regarding the 2017 removal of the old bridges. “The challenge was protecting the tracks below while demolishing the bridges, as well as while hauling out all materials.” third year focused on the mobilization and stockpiling of material, bridge demFor the demolition of the Rail Tie bridge, The olition, excavation, tunnel installation and roadways approach reconstructions. the work was done via weekend shutdowns.

“The existing bridges were demolished and temporary bridges were set in place,” said Hyatt. “This required us to close the road temporarily during construction, as well as perform all work over the railroad under temporary shutdowns. Railroad protection had to be installed during demo to protect the tracks, which required prior planning based on the time it took to set up and tear down. The other challenge was changing the existing approaches as the temporary bridge decks sat much higher due to the height of the beams compared to the existing bridges.

“Coordination with the railway was paramount to our success,” he added. “Weekend shutdowns were provided, as well as windows of work during the week to perform everything.”

The bridge decks were demolished with Caterpillar 335 and 307 excavators.

used to blast high bedrock in the north end of the tunnel,” said Hyatt. “Additional blasting needed to happen during the 10-week shutdown itself beyond the Main Street bridge abutments. This work happened early in the shutdown and was a critical hurdle to clear to allow work to progress. A very tight work site in downtown Middlebury required a lot of coordination with local community and project stakeholders.”

The erection of the tunnel began on July 24, 2020, and was concluded on August 18.

Prior to the shutdown, the work included: SOE — Installation of micropiles (~350 EA) and tie backs for upcoming excavation.

Hundreds of linear ft. of temporary steel sheeting were installed in the northern section. There were several pre-shutdown weekend closures for blasting and utility pipe crossings.

“Utility work — storm, sewer and water improvements were made,” said Hyatt.

The plan of attack, with the start of the shutdown, was to: • remove the rail and temporary bridges; • excavate down to grade while installing timber lagging on previously installed micropiles and grade and stone for precast; • set precast tunnel, seal joints, grout bolt holes and backfill precast, and install retaining walls; • pour new bridge decks, sidewalks and parapets, pave sidewalks and install tree cells and additional downtown granite curb and sidewalk; and • eventually open to traffic with much other landscaping and hardscaping work to follow the shutdown period.

“This was a cut and cover tunnel and no tunneling machine was required,” said Hyatt. “The rail corridor was excavated between micropile and timber lagging walls.

The precast tunnel was assembled and then backfilled. Water trucks were on site to manage dust as needed as well as getting compaction when backfilling.”

This work was equipment driven, with multiple excavators and loaders working as well as a Liebherr LR1300 300-ton crawler crane, two 200-ton crawlers and a 275-ton Link-Belt ATC-3275 hydraulic crane, and two Liebherr LR1200 200-ton cranes.

The road work required partial depth reconstruction of the bridge approaches, milling and repaving of the entire downtown area.

“We did not have a ton of challenges when it came to road reconstruction as the road was completely shut off from traffic,” said Hyatt.

The road work had crews use a Caterpillar D4K2 dozer, a Cat 938M loader and a Dynapac CA150D roller. see MIDDLEBURY page 113

Volvo CE Offers Tailored Support for Transportation Improvement...

Customers to Reach CO2 Reduction Goals States Move Forward On 16,000 Projects in Fiscal Year 2021

Volvo CE has developed a step-by-step approach with the CO2 Reduction Program to help customers realize their own unique goals toward carbon neutrality.

Creating a carbon-free future is only possible through collaboration. In a shared commitment to reduce its environmental impact, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) is making it easier for customers to reach their own carbon reduction goals with personalized plans.

Taking advantage of the breadth of its existing solutions and services, Volvo CE has developed a step-by-step approach with the CO2 Reduction Program to help customers realize their own unique goals toward carbon neutrality. There is no one-size-fits-all solution and every customer’s business is different, which is why these tailored solutions offer a practical way to make significant improvements to how machines are used on site today and in the future.

Niklas Nillroth, head of sustainability and public affairs at Volvo CE, said: “Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time, and one of the most important actions we can take is to help reduce our customers’ emissions. It is vital to get everyone involved and make it easy to contribute as part of one’s daily work. Every step on the path to net zero counts.”

“The services we use have been built on decades of innovation here at Volvo CE, but now for the first time we are bringing them together in one cohesive program that can be individually tailored to best fit our customers’ needs.”

CO2 Reduction in Four Steps The CO2 Reduction Program is designed to be easily integrated into customer’s plans, while maintaining required levels of profitability and productivity, and is based on four simple steps: • Insights —Volvo CE starts by understanding where the customer currently is in terms of carbon emissions and establishing a baseline to compare against. Using telematics data from connected machines, Volvo CE determines the CO2 footprint for all machines on site — no matter the brand. Mapping this data then allows the customer to visualize the impact of carbon reduction changes over time.

• Analyze — The experts at Volvo CE analyze the customer’s machine data and conduct a site study to under-

stand how the material flow, fleet composition, and operator behavior affects the emissions on their site(s). Volvo CE then illustrates where improvements can be made and what actions need to be taken to reduce CO2 /ton. Using Volvo Site Simulation, the experts reveal to the customer the impact of these improvements to help motivate real change.

• Improve — After identifying the specific actions required, Volvo CE helps the customer to implement them.

This will vary from customer to customer, but Volvo CE is there to support with key services such as Eco Operator training and other efficiency services such as Efficient Load Out — or plan a smooth transition towards electric machines.

• Sustain — At this stage the customer will already start seeing the rewards of their efforts, both economically and environmentally. However, the final step is for Volvo CE to support in sustaining these efforts, by continuously monitoring the CO2 level over time, to make sure that the improvements reduce emissions and customers do not slip back into old habits. Volvo CE also will look for new ways to reduce emissions even further in the future.

Leading the Way … Together This customer program is one of many initiatives devised

by Volvo CE towards the needed transformation within the construction industry. The company has set an industryleading target to reach net zero value chain greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 — with a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions across its own operations and a 30 percent reduction in CO2 emissions across product use as early as 2030.

In 2013, Volvo CE introduced the world’s first carbon neutral construction equipment production facility in Braås, Sweden — which recently built the world’s first vehicle made of fossil-free steel — and in addition currently offers the largest range of electric machines.

Volvo CE encourages customers to find out how they can elevate their efforts to reach net zero or take the first step on their sustainability journey today by contacting their local dealer or visiting the Volvo CO2 Reduction Program. 

States in the Midwest led the way as transportation departments moved forward on more than 16,000 highway and bridge improvement projects in fiscal year 2021, according to a new analysis of Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) data conducted by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA).

The association’s “Federal Highway Investment Benefits

by State” dashboard, compiled by Chief Economist Alison Premo Black, shows that states leveraged $31.4 billion in federal funds with their own funds to advance nearly $57 billion in projects.

The top five states with the most projects are: • Missouri: 1,040 projects • Michigan: 903 projects • Ohio: 796 projects • Indiana: 731 projects • Tennessee: 663 projects Nearly half of the projects — 43 percent — were for repair or reconstruction work. An additional 20 percent was used for adding capacity, such as a new lane or major widening, to an existing roadway. Six percent of funds were invested in new roads or bridges.

A map allows visitors to see how each state deployed federal funds and the top projects that received federal support.

The five largest projects nationally that include a mix of federal, state, local, and private funds, are: • Georgia — SR 400 North Springs Marta Station to McFarland Road Express Lane ($3.8 billion) • Arizona — I-17 Split ($899 million) • Texas — Construct new roadway lanes/reconstruct existing roadway on IH 35E ($715 million) • Nebraska — 20th St., Missouri River Omaha ($607 million) • Louisiana — LA 1: Leeville to Golden Meadow, Phase 2 ($524 million) “One of the most attractive benefits of major public investments in transportation infrastructure is they foster immediate economic growth and create tangible capital assets that are long-lived,” Black said.

“We expect to see even more projects in the coming year as states work to obligate the record increase in FY 2022 federal funding available through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) that was approved by Congress,” Black added.

The dashboard aims to provide U.S. taxpayers, elected officials, news media and the public with greater transparency about how federal highway program funds are invested annually. It allows users to see how each state annually deployed federal funds and features the top projects dating back to 1950. Black populates the dashboard using the data states submit to FHWA’s Fiscal Management Information System (FMIS).

Other structural upgrades and improvements included the removal and replacement of 25 new fenders, five new mooring bollards, 24 new crane tie downs and eight new stow pin pockets.

Mechanical upgrades replaced the old cable horn reels and electrical upgrades were made to the electrical vaults and transformers that power the Panamax cranes.

The Port of Baltimore continues to grow year after year and “has uniquely positioned [Maryland] to handle critical links in our nation’s supply chain,” said Gov. Larry Hogan.

Hogan, President Joe Biden and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg have all made visits to the Port of Baltimore while this construction has been under way.  CEG

The first recipients of the VICTOR program were announced recently by the NCCCO Foundation and Heavy Equipment Colleges of America (HEC).

The Veteran In Crane Training Outstanding Recognition (or V.I.C.T.O.R.) award is presented to the top-performing veteran in each HEC training class for NCCCO mobile crane operator certification.

‘Forestry Grooming’ Helps Red Tail Forestry Works On Jobs Kurt Patterson and Andrew Hubbel own a land management company that services the communities in the Columbia River Gorge, between Oregon and Washington states.

Red Tail Forestry Works specializes in a relatively new application that the owners have coined Forestry Grooming.

“Forestry grooming is a specialized industry where it isn’t traditional forestry or logging and it’s not landscaping,” said Hubbel.

“We are the first ones to do this in this part of the northwest and the feedback from our customers and the Oregon Department of Forestry has been extremely positive,” Patterson added.

Forestry Grooming Patterson and Hubbel explained that in traditional large-scale masticating projects in heavily forested or heavily timbered areas, the byproduct left is often very unsightly.

“It tends to be long, stringy and still a hard to access terrain,” said Hubbel.

“The product itself is not easy to move through. It is often done with modified feller bunchers or heavy excavators with external cooling units that go through and just blow the trees up, but it checks the box of helping with reducing the fuel load,” Patterson added.

According to them, forestry grooming is much different.

“The family that FAE has put together with their PT line, from the 175 up to the 475, puts an unmatched product on the ground,” said Hubbel. “It basically makes it an instant park.”

“The forestry grooming jobs we do are first and foremost, something that everyone wants to look at. The product we leave is one that you can instantly access, where recreationalists are able to walk, hike, bike, use motorized ATVs and horses. And the feedback we receive is amazing, we hear that people are no longer discouraged from walking through or afraid to get hurt if they step on it, and this is true for every area that we have treated with our PT-175,” he added.

In a nutshell, the difference between forestry grooming and the more traditional approaches to fuel reduction work in such heavily dense and wild areas is the quality of the final product, which in addition to being more effective at decreasing fire fuels, also leaves the terrain in a fully “groomed” condition that allows for recreational activities, enhancing the overall value and attractiveness of the land for local communities.

“One of the biggest positives that we’ve had, is that FAE comes with a reputation across the industry,” said Hubbel. “We’ve heard from other states and organizations, when they want a machine in the field, that they want the orange machine. They don’t know what it is, they just want the orange machine.”

(L-R) are Chris McKinney, Pacific JCB; Andrew Hubble and Kurt Patterson, Red Tail Forestry Works; and Mike Sampels, FAE USA west coast PT territory manager.

“The product itself is not easy to move through. It is often done with modified feller bunchers or heavy excavators with external cooling units that go through and just blow the trees up, but it checks the box of helping with reducing the fuel load.”

Kurt Patterson Red Tail Forestry Works

“The other really huge and determining factor was the support. Chris McKinney at Pacific JCB and Mike Sampels, our FAE representative, spent a lot of time with us in the field. They were a guiding hand, working with us, helping us get set up and going. That was hugely beneficial and it made our ability to jump in and hit the ground running with the 175 much easier, compared to any other manufacturer we’ve worked with so far,”

said Hubbel.

“The PT-175 speaks for itself, it’s a great machine, but when it comes with that type of support, that really changed the game for us, it was everything we could have hoped for.”

For Patterson “it was a hundred percent trust.”

“They came out and made sure the machine was exactly the one we needed for the applications we were applying it to.”

As the primary driver of the PT-175, one of Patterson’s favorite features is “the winch housing on the back, which does an amazing job of protecting it,” he stated.

“That poor devil takes a lot of the hits and I don’t know how anybody would ever buy a machine without one. It does a lot to protect the backend, the radiator and, to some degree, the roof. We even reinforced it because we are really depending on this machine to do a hundred percent of the heavy lifting in the woods.

“Where we work is borderline rainforest.

We’re looking at old grow stands on the slopes of Mount Hood to include heavy maples and string oaks. These are substantial trees with a very mature and substantial undergrowth. In the Mount Hood Valley and Columbia River Gorge we are running into a lot of the traditional northwest vegetation like doug fir, grand fir, western cedar and lots of dense native white oak that is several hundred years old. When we’re up higher in elevation it is scrub oak and one of the worst ones, the super stringy vine maple.

“With the counter cutters and then the manner in which you stagger the cutters, on just two passes with the PT-175, you can make vine maple look like the rest of the types of trees that we can get into and make a nice product.” 

State Predicts New Stadium Construction to Create 10K Jobs STADIUM from page 16

hired Populous, the Kansas City, Mo.-based architectural firm that specializes in designing stadiums and arenas, to begin rendering plans and designs, which are expected to be completed by this fall. Although the stadium will not feature a roof, the Bills plan to have 80 percent of its seating protected from the elements.

Labor Leaders Ecstatic Over Huge Project “The men and the women who will be building this project will be the men and women of union labor here in western New York, and because of the size of this project we believe that Rochester’s Union Labor Building Trades will benefit from it,” Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz told WHEC-TV. Rochester Building and Trades Council President Grant Malone could not be happier after hearing the news that unionized construction workers will do all the work.

He also explained why it is so important to go with union labor.

“You get a fair wage,” Malone said. “You have healthcare and you participate in a retirement program. You can raise your family. You can supply for your family. To me, it’s the only way to go, and the craftsmanship is definitely top-notch.”

The Bills’ stadium is slated to be a 1.3 million-sq.-ft. facility, guaranteeing lots of work for both unskilled and skilled laborers looking for a career.

“In the construction industry, this is where you want to be,” Malone said. “There’s no doubt about it. We’re reaching out to everybody we can because we see this work coming and it’s a big [boon] for New York State.”

The Rochester Building and Construction Trades Council is made up of 24 different trade unions and Malone said each one should have a stake in this project. He noted that there will be opportunities for people who work in concrete, masonry, and electrical installation, to name just a few.

The New York State Building and Construction Trades Council represents approximately 200,000 tradespeople across the state. 

edge, experience and confidence to become successful electricians, leaders and mentors to the next generation.

“I use my own experience as an example, having climbed the ladder from a 14-year-old working in the shop sorting materials all the way up to my current position running multiple jobs and crews.

ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS (AGC) Virtual BIM Education Program Dates: April 14, 2022 – April 28, 2022 Times: 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM EDT Description: AGC’s Two Part Virtual BIM Workshop for Advanced Practitioners: BIM has become a competitive advantage among the professionals of the industry. But there are challenges. In Design-Build projects the builder’s design manager and the designer’s BIM manager can have confused roles creating duplication and gaps in management. Too many “cooks” can create conflicts and clashes which waste time. Good, clear processes overcome these and other challenges. These workshops clarify questions occurring in every BIM-centric project process and offer best practices for truly Lean, productive design-build teams.

In which aspects is BIM beneficial?

Transparency – Collaborative work enables the participation of all players, who have access to all the information and details available for all areas of the work.

Real-time data update – Technology combined with collaborative work allows you to integrate and change drawings and details automatically.

Unique language for all – BIM enables integrated communication between all parties involved.

Intelligent drawing – The drawings have detailed information, for example, calculations can be done automatically, and information is added simultaneously to the graphic part of the project.

constantly making Perry Contracting safer and more innovative, productive and modern.

It is also impressive that Luke spearheaded his chapter’s response to members’ needs during the pandemic.”

Perry is board chair of ABC Ohio Valley and formed the chapter’s Next Gen Leaders group. He has made gaining and keeping the respect of the employees at his company’s family business paramount in his leadership throughout his career, including working on job sites and at a different general contractor to hone his professional skills.

Perry said he’s deeply passionate about showing young adults the different career pathways outside of a four-year degree, and the success and satisfaction that can come with a career in the trades.

ABC’s Young Professionals program aims to shape the future of our industry by supporting the growth of professionals under the age of 40 who are employed by ABC member companies. The program and award are sponsored by Autodesk Construction Cloud, which empowers teams to connect workflows across every stage of construction to reduce risk, maximize efficiency and increase profits. As Young Professional of the Year, Perry received a $10,000 cash prize.

ABC Convention 2022 celebrates the best of the best in merit shop construction, honoring the member companies and individuals who lead the construction industry in representing the association’s core values.  Geographical evaluation of the project location - BIM allows an analysis of the geographic and social impacts of the structure to see the viability of the construction work in the given location.

More effective execution – By virtually representing the project and still counting on the collaborative work of all the parties involved, BIM makes it possible to predict errors and avoid unforeseen events, as well as verify the feasibility of the construction site, which makes the project more efficient, reducing time and cost overruns.

Precise timeline – BIM is present throughout all phases of the project’s life cycle, and when associated with a schedule of activities, it enables all space requirements, work resources, materials, and deliverables to be transmitted.

Personal, company and country marketing - BIM has become a competitive advantage among the professionals of the industry: for architectural and engineering offices and construction companies alike. At the same time, BIM has also the potential to bring better results to governmental management.

Courses will be offered online via Zoom platform, webcam required for participation.

Coordination With Railway Proves Key During Vt. Project

315.633.2944 • www.lyonauction.com • www.lyonauctionlive.com

MIDDLEBURY from page 102

The management team includes Construction Manager Nathan Speanburg; Project Manager John Whittaker; Project Engineer Ian Robison; and Field Engineers Grant Gilbert, Cassandra Mondello, Dustin Franke, Makayla D’Amore and Ben Pelchar. The superintendents included Roger Slater, Bill Hanchett, Cale Gleason, Pete Olney. Forepersons included Al Matteson, Nick Popp, Nolan Diamond, Mike Shissler, Luke Herald, Addam Butler and Edward Allen.

“We had good comradery between the crews, especially during the setting of precast,” said Hyatt. “Toward the middle of the precast operation, it became a friendly competition to see which crew could correctly set the most pieces in a 12hour shift. It was a huge team effort. We had two 12-hour shifts rain or shine. There was lots of coordination and moving pieces. KCC crews, alongside our subcontractors, worked relentlessly and were able to complete the shutdown on time.

“Every morning at 6 a.m. we would have a handover meeting with the night crew,” he added. “The day crew started at 7 a.m., so it gave everyone time to understand what was completed the shift prior and adjust the game plan if necessary for the day.”

On peak construction days, there were anywhere from 50 to 70 people on site. Some of the main subcontractors are Engineers Construction INC (ECI); Maine Drilling & Blasting for drilling mini-piles and blasting into the rock ledge; Waters Excavation for sidewalk and curb; and Landshapes for landscapes and hardscapes.

Excavation operations within the rail corridor generated more than 26,000 cu. yds. of material, with some to be reused on the project, and 2,500 cu. yds. of solid rock removal, with the aid of Maine Drilling & Blasting.

“Soils in the project area have been thoroughly tested for the presence of contaminants,” said Hyatt.

“A Corrective Action Plan was developed before construction began,” said VTrans.

“We were able to reuse almost 7,600 cubic yards of material excavated from the rail bed in the non-contaminated areas,” said Hyatt. “All the millings have been stored on site to be reused in future projects. Ashlar blocks were removed as the existing backwalls for the temporary bridges. These blocks were reused on site as park benches, as well as a component in the ‘rock core’ berm that was constructed along Otter Creek on the southwest end of the project.”

New construction materials included 210 cu, yds. of concrete for new bridge decks, 650 cu. yds. of concrete for new concrete cap wall and 3,500 tons of asphalt.

“Throughout the shutdown period we had a dedicated mechanic on call, as well as an onsite 8-foot x 20-foot container filled with any supplies or tools the mechanics needed that they did not already have in their vehicles,” said Hyatt.

KCC purchases and rents equipment from Milton CAT in Clifton Park, N.Y., Contractor Sales in Albany, N.Y., and Chenango Contracting Inc. in Johnson City, N.Y. and in Middlebury, Vermont Champlain Valley Equipment, Champlain Construction and G Stone Commercial.  CEG

Parkersburg Bridge Partners Assumes Bridge Ownership BRIDGE from page 12

Once it is complete, the bridge will shift to a fully electronic tolling system and rates are expected to increase to $1 for a single trip across.

Westerville, Ohio’s Kokosing Construction is the general contractor on the project, while Burgess & Niple, based in Columbus, Ohio, is the engineer representing PBP, providing construction oversight and handling permitting.

HNTB, with headquarters in Kansas City, Mo., is working on behalf of Parkersburg as its contracted bridge engineering consultant as well as inspecting the rehabilitation work, city engineer Adam Stout told the local news source.

After the rehabilitation is finished, he added, PBP will supply copies of its federally mandated annual inspections to the city.

Various Upgrades Ahead for Ohio River Bridge To ensure that the Memorial Bridge rehabilitation is done in a manner that extends the structure’s life another half-century, the improvements to be made include: • A new paint and coating system.

• Complete deck removal and replacement.

• The replacement of existing bridge parapet handrails.

• New bearing pads, steel bearings and other steel superstructure repairs.

• Concrete pier and column repairs.

• New LED roadway and decorative changeable colored lighting.

• Repaved and improved bridge roadway approaches.

The Memorial Bridge transports U.S. Highway 50 Alternate traffic across the Ohio River along three spans that total 2,556 ft. It utilizes a steel through truss design, and accommodates two lanes of traffic, one in either direction. 
