N.A. Manosh Corp. of Vermont’s website boasts “When it comes to water, well and construction drilling, wastewater and septic services, geothermal heating and cooling, aggregate materials and related excavation…it’s ‘Manosh by Gosh.’”

As Nick Manosh, son of the company’s founder, tells the story, “In 1958, my dad [Howard Manosh], who had been an equipment operator, sold his 55 Chevy for $1500 for a down payment to buy a John Deere tractor with a Pippin backhoe and started working nights and weekends doing whatever work he could find.”

In 1965, Howard Manosh identified a growing need for clean accessible water; he purchased the company’s first drilling rig and the catch phrase, “Manosh by Gosh” took root. In the 1970s, as Vermont became a vacation destination and the ski slopes took hold, the economy grew in the area and Howard further diversified the company, known at that time as H.A. Manosh Corp. At one point he diversified the company into operating an asbestos mine, which was quite successful until the government banned asbestos in the late 1970s.

Nick Manosh joined his father’s growing company right out of high school. He eventually purchased the assets of H.A. Manosh from his father and two brothers. Today Nick’s son, Connor, represents the third generation of the Manosh family and Connor focuses his attention primarily on the water drilling and pumping aspect of the company’s business.

Today, the company is a major force in the construction industry, offering a wide variety of highly diversified services, including septic pumping and sewer inspection services, along with storm water and catch basin cleaning and pump/lift station maintenance.

The company has six drilling rigs and, not only does it do residential well drilling, but it also does municipal and commercial, construction drilling within about a 250-mi. radius of central Vermont. The company also offers water treatment services to properly treat the water that is generated from its drilling services to produce ideal drinking water.

N.A. Manosh also has expanded into geothermal heating and cooling for both commercial and residential.

As it has expanded into the geothermal work, it covers a significantly larger area with projects as far away as Portland, Maine, and Cambridge, Mass. With fuel prices increasing the market for that kind of work, the geothermal side of the business could

Manosh operation is its four aggregate production facilities that were purchased to support the company’s growing construction division. The facilities produce: • washed manufactured sand; • road sand/screened sand; • mound sand; • stone (round and ledge) — 1-1/4-in., 3/4-in., 3/8-in., 2-5-in.; • quarry rip-rap; • 1-1/2-in. plant mix; • 1-in. minus Staymat; • 1-1/2-in. crushed gravel; ¾-in. crusher run gravel • bank run gravel; • bank run sand/fill; • topsoil (regular and screened); • granular backfill; • over run stone; • dense graded; • 1-in. minus ditch stone; and • State Spec materials Approximately a year ago, Nick saw a significant opportunity to grow the aggregate side of the business.

MANOSH from page 57 Vermont, was slated for the area that would consume a significant amount of aggregate product. It had been some time since the proper amount of investment had been made in the crushing and screening equipment as well as the earthmoving equipment in his quarries. The project would require tens of thousands of yards of specked material.

To bid competitively and make product quotas to go after the work that was coming to the area, Nick knew it was time to reinvest in his company.

After extensive research and looking at several different combinations of aggregate-producing and earthmoving equipment, Nick pulled the trigger on a major investment of John Deere and Kleemann equipment from United Construction & Forestry (formerly known as Nortrax) in Williston, Vt.

The package, which would be transported between the four aggregate pits, included a massive John Deere 844K 10-yd. loader; a John Deere 345G LC 80,000-lb. excavator; a Wirtgen WR250i asphalt recycler; a Kleemann MS15Z double-deck screening plant ideal for processing natural stone and recycled material; a Kleemann MS953 EVO portable tracked classifier screen; a Kleemann Mobicat MC110 Zi 44-in. x 28-in. portable tracked jaw crusher; and a Kleemann MOBICONE MC90Si EVO trackmounted cone crusher.

To put this package together, Nick worked closely with Justin Jennett of United Construction & Forestry. The closest heavy equipment dealer to N.A. Manosh, United Construction & Forestry was still a good 50 mi. away.

According to Nick, “We had a lot of objectives in making this purchase. We needed to make a better product. We needed to make a lot more product. We needed to lower our production costs. Ideally, we wanted to see our fuel consumption drop and we had to get great service from whomever we were going to make the purchase from.

“Justin Jennett with United Construction & Forestry was the right man for the job. We already knew John Deere equipment. My dad started the company with a John Deere tractor, and we had done some business with Justin in the past.

“But this was a big purchase, and it took a lot of hand holding on Justin’s part. The price had to be right, and he put together a great lease-purchase for us. It gave us an opportunity to use the equipment and know and have full confidence that it was going to meet all of our expectations before pulling the trigger on such a significant investment.

“The John Deere 844 loader was perfectly matched in size to meet the production capacities of our new Kleemann aggregate production line. We found out in a hurry that you needed a big loader to keep up with these Kleemann machines. With the crushers we were looking for a quality name that we could be as comfortable with as we are with John Deere.

“Kleemann is owned by John Deere; it has a reputation as being first in its class; and in our case, it’s serviced by the John Deere dealer who is located nearby, and it all came together in one nice package.

“The product we’ve been getting from the Kleemann spread has exceeded our expectations. Right away we were able to eliminate our wash plant. We process from the jaw to the scalper to the cone to the screening plant. Using that configuration, we were able to completely get away from washing. So, we don’t have to use any water and that makes our stone as clean as possible.

“The first year we did see a little bump upwards in our maintenance costs. We were all trying to get used to new equipment and that took a transition. This year our maintenance cost is down dramatically, and everything is running smoothly. Our operators needed to transition to a different type of operation as well.

“We did get a little nervous. There was a name change that happened during the process; Nortrax became United Construction & Forestry, which made us a little nervous. We were told nothing would change and we would continue to see the same level of service and so far, they have certainly held up their end of the bargain.”

Shane Fleming and Brendan Fox, owners of Rock & Recycling Equipment in Sutton, Mass., announced a significant expansion of the company’s product offerings.

Rock & Recycling Equipment has long been known as the exclusive supplier of McCloskey crushing and screening equipment for New England contractors and aggregate producers. Moving forward, Rock & Recycling Equipment also will be the distributor of Lippmann Milwaukee Inc. and MWS Equipment.

“Each of these companies’ product offerings will significantly enhance Rock & Recycling Equipment’s product offerings and ability to serve their customer base, in particular, the aggregate producer segment,” Fleming said.

Since 1923, Lippmann has continuously designed and manufactured quality aggregate processing equipment in Milwaukee, Wis. The company began as Lippmann Engineering Works, and the design of heavyduty primary jaw crushers became the cornerstone of its product line.

Today, Lippmann continues to maintain a reputation for building one of the heaviest and most reliable primary jaw crushers on the market, along with its expanded line of proven aggregate processing equipment designed to increase productivity and reduce cost, the company said.

“Lippmann is absolutely recognized as the leader in the stationary primary jaw crusher market,” Fleming said. “We are equally enthusiastic about introducing New England producers to other high quality Lippmann products, including their horizontal shaft impact crusher, vibrating grizzly feeders and other Lippmann ancillary products.” MWS Equipment (McCloskey Wash Systems) is a world leader in the engineering and manufacturing of highquality wet processing equipment or, in essence, equipment for manufacturing sand and washing stone. “In recent years there has been an increased demand for aggregate producers to have the ability to produce sand and washed stone,” Fleming said. “Our affiliation with

MWS will give us the ability to provide our customers with quality equipment that is backed with exceptional engineering and customer service. We are constantly looking for innovative products to assist our customers in enhancing their productivity and we are impressed with the offering MWS Equipment will add to our product portfolio.”

To support and develop its two new product offerings, Rock & Recycling is bringing Brian Lee on board as its division manager of Lippmann and MWS. Lee has spent nine years working for Lippmann serving in several positions, including service coordinator, inside sales representative, outside sales representative and as a territory manager working with dealers and end users supporting Lippmann products. He then spent two years with McCloskey working as a factory representative working with dealers and end users, where he developed a relationship with Rock & Recycling.

“I am optimistic about the opportunity of joining the Rock & Recycling team and helping them develop the Lippmann and MWS product offerings,” Lee said. “Having worked in the past with both Lippmann and Rock & Recycling, I am fully confident of both companies’ ability to identify the needs of their customers, help engineer and design the ideal products to satisfy those needs and support those products down the road.”

In his position at Rock & Recycling, Lee will be responsible for developing new sales for Lippmann as well as MWS, developing the proper inventory of stocked parts and training current sales and support staff. 

Page 74 • July 20, 2022 • www.constructionequipmentguide.com • Recycling Section • Construction Equipment Guide Komatsu, Codelco Agree to Conduct Trial of New Mining Tunnel Boring Machine

Komatsu’s tunnel boring machine (TBM) for underground hard rock mining.

Komatsu Ltd., through its subsidiary Komatsu Cummins Chile Ltda., has agreed with Codelco, a major state-owned mining company in Chile, to collaborate on trialing a new tunnel excavation method using Komatsu’s newly developed mining tunnel boring machine (TBM) starting in 2024 at Codelco’s Chuquicamata Mine in Chile.

Through trial use of the new machine, Komatsu and Codelco aim to speed up the potential introduction of this innovative technology.

Demand for underground mining equipment is expected to increase along with global demand for mineral resources that require increasingly deeper mining operations.

Komatsu developed the first TBM for rock excavation in 1963 for use in civil engineering in Japan. Since that time, the company has introduced a cumulative total of more than 2,300 TBM (including its micro tunneling machine) to the market.

Based on Komatsu’s experience in excavation, the mining TBM is equipped with new technologies that enable adaptability to small curves, reversing and passing intersections in hard rock tunnel excavation. Previously, use of TBM has generally been limited to excavating nearly straight tunnels.

This new technology improves the flexibility of the equipment and enables excavation of tunnels according to the more unique designs of each mine.

The mining TBM works by continuously performing a series of processes, such as excavating rock with disc cutters and discharging the chipped rock backwards with belt conveyors, while fortifying the excavated tunnel wall. Excavation with disc cutters improves tunnel strength and stability by creating a circular tunnel shape with smooth walls with less damage to the excavated tunnel (compared to drilling and blasting method). To support customers’ needs for increasingly sustainable ways of mining, the new machine runs off electricity, does not require the use of blasting and performs a series of tunnel excavation processes with a single machine, reducing the number of vehicles required overall. The result is a new excavation option that reduces the creation of greenhouse gases and particulate matter emissions for an improved underground environment that requires less ventilation than other methods. At the same time, it significantly increases the productivity of personnel associated with tunnel excavation work compared to conventional methods, according to the companies. In response to climate change and the need for solutions for environmental issues, Komatsu has been focusing on the development of equipment for the future of underground hard rock mining under the slogan of “No Blasting”, “No Batch”, “No Diesel.” The mining TBM and the new method embody this forward-looking approach and seek to help customers improve safety, environmental friendliness and productivity (shorter tunnel construction period and lower tunnel construction costs) at underground mines, and also will help them achieve a revolution in their mining operations. Per the company’s ongoing mid-term management plan “DANTOTSU Value — Together, to ‘The Next’ for sustainable growth”, Komatsu is working to expand offerings for underground hard rock mining, creating new value for customers with the development of new equipment, processes and technologies that will help operations step forward to the next stage for the workplace of the future and provide a more sustainable future for the next generation.
