Volvo CE Opens New Technical Training Center at Pa. HQ

VolvoConstructionEquipmentofficially opened its new technical training center in Shippensburg, Pa., on Aug. 18.

The $7.3 million facility will be a training hub of expertise and innovation for Volvo CE dealer service technicians on diesel and electric heavy equipment, machine control technology,connectivityandproductivityservices, and more. It includes in-person classrooms,virtuallabsandthreeservice bays that can accommodate the company’s largest machines, including the L350H wheel loader, A60H articulated hauler and R100 rigid hauler, allowing those trainings to occur inside year-round.

“I’m proud to work for a company that invests in not only the equipment and technology of the construction industry’s future, but also the North American workforce,” said Scott Young, acting president of Region NorthAmerica, Volvo CE. “The technicians who come through this training center will be prepared for a more climate-friendly and connected future, supporting our customers in this fastchanging industry.”

Volvo CE offers training to dealer service and sales teams from across the United States and Canada. This includes three levels of technical certifications for maintenance, diagnostics and repair of Volvo equipment, plus a new certification to perform commissioning and decommissioning of Volvo electric machines.

The new center doubles the number of students that can be trained in a year, compared to its former off-site location. It also will provide hands-on and virtual trainings to Volvo employees globally. It also was announced that the Customer andTraining Center received a 100 percent certified landfill-free certification by Volvo Group North America.

Tim Watters, president and CEO of Hoffman Equipment and Volvo CE dealer advisory council president, underlined the impact of the investment.

“The need for expertly trained service techs cannot be overstated, as they are the critical link to ensure maximum customer uptime.Thisnewcenterhasthecapacityand knowledge bank to keep our teams at the leading edge of equipment service technology,” he said.

Federal, state and local legislators and members from area business and education

communities took part in the ribboncutting ceremony.

“Volvo Construction Equipment’s commitment to create a multimilliondollar Technical Training Center in Shippensburgwillstrengthenourlocal economy and provide important training to the next generation of technicians working here in Pennsylvania and across North America,” said U.S. Rep. John Joyce.

U.S. Senator Bob Casey Jr. was unabletoattendbutshared,“Whenwe lift upAmerican workers, we can outcompete anyone in the world. That requires investing in our workforce to ensure they can win in a rapidly changing economy.

USACE Begins Ohio River’s Navigation System Upgrade

A groundbreaking ceremony near Pittsburgh Aug. 11 set the stage for upgrading the Ohio River’s oldest navigation system in 2024 at a cost of more than $900 million.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Pittsburgh District, welcomed industry,communityandpoliticalleadersfor the event at the Montgomery Locks and Damfacility.Theceremonymarkedthestart ofaconstructionprojectwithbenefitsthatits supporterssaywillbenefitthenation’seconomy.

“You’ve probably noticed driving on site today [that] construction is already under way,” said Col. Nicholas Melin, commander of the USACE’s Pittsburgh District. “It’s only fitting that we lift our shovels and take this step together continuing the tradition of great partnership.”

Melinhoistedashovelfulofdirtalongside U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa.; Austin Davis, the state’s lieutenant governor; Mitch Landrieu, senior infrastructure advisor to President Biden; and JaimeA. Pinkham, the principal deputy assistant secretary of the Army for civil works, among others.

“The southwestern Pennsylvania economy couldn’t function without the Montgomery Locks and Dam,” said Casey. “I worked to secure this investment from the infrastructure law so the [USACE] can upgrade the locks and dam to keep commerce flowing through our region.”

He added that the project is not only critically important for Beaver County and the state, “but for a significant region of the United States.”

The Montgomery Locks and Dam are part of the Upper Ohio navigation system, whichsees15to20milliontonsofmaterials pass through its river chambers annually.

The Upper Ohio Navigation Project is expected to support 28,800 jobs over its construction life, and 5,400 jobs annually after it is complete, USACE said in a news release.

“The investment we make today will pay dividends, not for years or decades, but for generations,” Casey explained, noting that the project was “long, long overdue.”

Overall, the Pittsburgh District of the USACE operates 23 locks and dams on the Ohio, Monongahela and Allegheny rivers, saving shippers and consumers approximately $4 billion in transportation costs compared to using other means such as trucks or rail.

Modernizing Montgomery Will Keep Goods Moving

The Corps of Engineers first began building the Montgomery Locks and Dam in 1932, a project that finished in 1936. Today, the auxiliary lock has reached the end of its

operational lifespan and is experiencing structural aging, the agency said earlier this summer.

Plans for a new chamber will bring added life to the facility due to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), which has provided more than $900 million in funds for various projects on the Upper Ohio River.

“What makes this project critical is the potential for structural failure of the lock walls, which would cause major interruption to river transportation,” said Chris Dening, project manager of the Upper Ohio River construction. “Many of the walls have significant cracking along and across their lengths. We have observed leaking within the lock walls during operation, which confirmed the seriousness of the situation.”

If one of the lock walls were to fail, he explained, it would impact operations on the Ohio River for several months. An unexpected failure would cause industry shippers to have to scramble to find new ways to reroute shipments at the last minute.

“The upgrades we are making at Montgomery Locks and Dam are just the firstofthreemajorinvestmentstomodernize the upper Ohio River navigation system,” noted Steve Fritz, the Mega Project program manager of the Pittsburgh District. “We are building larger, newer, better locks that will provide a resilient navigation system in the Pittsburgh region for the next 100 years.”

In the meantime, USACE’s local office has taken several measures to address structural issues to avoid sudden failures. The office’s engineers increased the frequency of their inspections at Montgomery and developed contingency plans for any potential emergency.

“However, those contingency efforts are costly, which is why we need to recapitalize the lock with a new construction,” Dening said.

Building new locks at Montgomery will directly benefit commercial navigation by replacing older, smaller chambers, he added, avoiding future bottlenecks and slowdowns, and saving costs to transportation industries.

“The river navigation system provides a cost-effective method for transporting bulk commodities,” according to Dening. “It is also environmentally friendly and reduces road congestion.”

Additionally, the navigation system plays a vital role in the development of local industry. Cargo on the river includes mainly coal, but barges also transport coke, petroleum products, raw and finished steel, and aggregates. Various companies also use the system to transport large components for construction in the Pittsburgh region.

“Some of these components could not havebeentransportedbyothermeansdueto their size,” Dening said.

Transporting commodities on the waterwaysisfourtimeslessexpensivethantrucks and 33 percent cheaper than rail, USACE asserted.TowboatsonPittsburgh’sriverscan push up to 15 barges at once, each carrying the same amount of material as 70 large semi-trucks or 16 railcars.

Three Lock Systems to Be Refurbished

The Upper Ohio River Navigation project includes three locks: Emsworth, Dashields and Montgomery, the first three on the Ohio River downstream from Pittsburgh. The average age of the facilities is 96 years old, a

fact that cannot be ignored much longer, according to USACE engineers.

The BIL provided $857 million for Montgomery’s construction and $77 million for work at Emsworth in 2022.

Montgomery is the first facility to receive a larger, 600-ft.-long by 110-ft.-wide lock chamber on the Upper Ohio. Engineers also plantoreplacethesmallerauxiliarychamber at all three facilities.Those chambers are the smallest on the Ohio River, causing bottlenecks and slowdowns during maintenance periods, proving too small for today’s commercial barges.

USACE’s Pittsburgh District has already completed project phases to prepare for the upcoming chamber construction. The plan includes removing the auxiliary chamber to expand the lock size, which will cut into the gated dam currently on the river.

The next phase will bring a batch plant on site, allowing crews to mix and pour concrete in place much faster than cement trucks.

Montgomery’s new lock will require about 400,000 cu. yds. of concrete, equivalent to 1.6 billion tons. The batch plant will produce nine different concrete mixes used in various types of construction, such as underwater, structural and mass concrete, among others.

USACE also plans to build an onsite laboratory to sample and test the concrete to ensure quality.

“It’s taken over a decade of dedicated effort from an interdisciplinary team to get us here today,” said the USACE’s Melin. “This team has developed and delivered a solid plan that we are now ready to execute. We’re lucky to have the same team moving forward to deliver a quality product that will sustain the navigation needs of this region.”

The 2022 funding makes the Ohio River the second-largest funded infrastructure project within the USACE.

The federal infrastructure law, passed in 2021, helps alleviate the problem of inconsistentfundingexperiencedinthepastseveral decades, which has caused major inflation in timeline and project costs. For example, the Corps’ Pittsburgh District had received only $40 million combined in the five previous years for the Upper Ohio project.

But the economic impact of a one-year closure at Montgomery Locks and Dam would cost the U.S. economy nearly $180 million. The roughly 12 million tons of cargo would require over 100,000 railcars or 400,000 trucks to compensate for the closure.

The BIL funded the district for about half of the required cost up front, allowing Pittsburgh to begin work at Montgomery as early as next year, significantly speeding up the district’s timeline for construction. 

HEVI Ready to Charge Up Heavy Equipment Industry

EVistheheartofN.J.-basedHEVIequipment.

The heavy equipment manufacturer crafted its name around all-electric vehicles becauseitsmachinesarebuiltaroundbattery power. That’s the brand and the company’s “HEVI-duty” commitment since 2019 — to support a sustainable future by deploying clean-technology solutions to the industrial sector.

HEVI’s products include two wheel loaders and one wheeled excavator, with plans for a tracked excavator model in 2024. Its current flagship model is the GEL-5000, a 20-tonwheelloaderwitha3.9-cu.-yd.bucket, and has already been on demo sites during the company’s 2023 road show.

As a manufacturer, HEVI believes it’s in a unique position to deliver electric heavy equipment on a short timeline. It’s able to deliver its equipment with only a six- to eight-month lead time, which “puts us in a competitive position,” according to HEVI.

While HEVI does not manufacture the batteries used in its machines, “they are custom-built for us,” said Stanley Wang, the company’s vice president of business development. “The assembly is specific to our electric heavy equipment.”

CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co.), manufactures the batteries and is a supplier for many of the world’s largest automakers, including BMW, General Motors, Tesla and Volkswagen.

They are lithium ferrophosphate units of various sizes. HEVI’s smaller loader, the GEL-1800, and its GEX-8000 wheeled excavator are powered by an identical battery, a 141-kWh unit. On the other hand, the manufacturer’s largest wheel loader, the GEL-5000requiresa282-kWhbattery.That need is simply met: Two of the smaller batteries are stacked. The resulting power unit weighs more than a ton.

That they are lithium ferrophosphate (LFP) units is significant. LFP is a subtype of lithium-ion batteries (like Lithium Manganese Oxide or Lithium Cobalt Oxide) that provides unique benefits owing to its chemical composition.

“We selected ferrophosphate [lithium iron phosphate] because theyhavehighersafetyandlifespan than other Lithium-ion types,” said Wang. “Their high specific power isalsorequiredtodelivertheproper energy to the hydraulic systems.

“At HEVI safety is paramount,” Wang added. “We employ an air and liquid battery coolant system to control battery temperature and encase the battery in a steel enclosure to protect it from damage resulting from an impact. Battery

fires in EVs primarily occur from damage to the battery pack. For instance, if the battery is punctured, the damaged area can cause a short in one of the cells causing the chain reaction called ‘Thermal Runaway.’ If you can prevent punctures, you can prevent one of the main risks posed by batteries.”

Considering that the battery constitutes approximately one-third the cost of a machine, protecting it becomes a practical necessity.

While Wang doesn’t see any advance in battery technology for heavy equipment any time soon, sodium batteries are under development for lighter vehicles. When those do become generally available for equipment, WangsaidtheywillappealtoU.S.manufacturers like HEVI because sodium can be mined in and near the United States whereas lithium is a natural resource found in distant places like China andAfrica.

Some reluctance of contractors to embrace all-electric heavy equipment revolves around questions of productivity. That is, while work sites will be cleaner and equipment noise abated by using all-electric machines, will the equipment keep running long enough to get a job done before their batteries die?

Absolutely, said Wang.

“With our machines, you are looking at nine hours of active use between charges,” he said, adding that the machines are a perfect fit for material-handling yards, factories andwarehouses,andotherurbanworkplaces where 40-45-hour work weeks are the rule.

While charging such large batteries is not an easy task and with the EVcharging infrastructureintheUnitedStatesstillinitsinfancy,HEVIwantedtoensurethatitscustomers wouldn’thavetoworryaboutfindingpower. To this end, they’ve developed a charging system that’s unlike anything else in the industry — non-stationary direct-current (DC) chargers.

“They are unique,” said Wang. “They’re the only non-stationary DC chargers in the world.”

EV cars such as are produced by Tesla have converters that change AC electrical input from external electrical sources into DC power for storage in the vehicle’s DC battery. Current charging standards mean that AC power charges more slowly — but as noted previously, you likely won’t find a DC charging solution that isn’t fixed to a gas station or a parking lot.

“The only DC charging sources are in recharging stations — DC Fast Chargers,” said Wang. These are the units that look similar to gas

Two years ago, HEVI began development of its non-stationary DC chargers. One is the DCH-220-10, rated for 10 kW of output from a standard 220V line.

HEVI’s current flagship model is the GEL-5000, a 20-ton wheel loader with a 3.9-cu.-yd. bucket, and it has already been on demo sites during the company’s 2023 road show.

H.O. Penn Holds Centennial Celebration in Holtsville, N.Y.

As hundreds of guests arrived, they were provided with door prizes and raffle tickets for exclusive merchandise and a chance for a grand prize of a free one-month rental of a Caterpillar machine.

The past century has been a time of explosive economic growth and prosperity for America and particularly for Long Island, N.Y. H.O. Penn Machinery Company Inc. and Caterpillar are proud to have played an integral role in building the infrastructure critical to all Long Islanders living, working, and traveling throughout the region.

Supporting the construction of the Long Island Expressway (LIE) in 1939 and the creation ofAmerica’s first suburb (Levittown, Long Island) in 1947, H.O. Penn supplied the equipment and critical services that built Levittown, home of returning World War II veterans and their families.

As construction of the Verrazzano bridge began in 1959, the longest suspension bridge of its time, Queens welcomed the construction of Shea Stadium in 1964, home of the NewYork Mets (and later its replacement Citi Field in 2009). H.O. Penn was there to provide the right Cat equipment designed for the job.

HOLTSVILLE page 76

On loan from Riverhead Raceway was the track’s official pace car.

This Caterpillar material handler model 3040 makes the perfect flag stand.

The Caterpillar simulator gives operators an opportunity to capture the feel of operating the real McCoy without actually putting a machine on the job site.

The Caterpillar Operator Challenge had a number of twists and turns added to make this event particularly challenging. Alex Zeruto of Grace Industries was the winner.

H.O. Penn encouraged employees to bring their families and enjoy the celebration. Keith Fitzsimmons, corporate EHS manager of H.O. Penn, his wife, Christina, and their daughters Evey and Lilly enjoyed the day.

There was something for kids both big and small at the anniversary celebration.

H.O. Penn’s Holtsville, N.Y., facility serves as a sales, service and rental center for Nassau and Suffolk counties.

Wirtgen Cold Milling Stars in Rome’s Olympic Stadium

Built in 1927 as Stadio dei Cipressi (Cypress Stadium), the Stadio Olimpico has hosted a wide variety of major events, from the Summer Olympic Games and concerts to the 2020 European Cup.

The stadium in the center of Rome hasnowbeenthesceneofextensiverenovationwork.WirtgensuppliedaW200 Fi for the project, and the cost-efficient, resource-friendly cold milling machine impressed with outstanding flexibility, speed and outstanding performance.

Level Pro Active Guarantees Precise Cross-Slope

The renovation was commissioned to prepare the sporting facilities in time for the 26th European Athletics Championships in 2024. The resurfacing of the athletics track followed on from the modernization of the stadium for Euro 2020 (the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship).

The first step involved the removal of the synthetic track surface—alsoknownas“tartantrack”. The upper asphalt layer below this was then milled off with a Wirtgen W 200 Fi cold milling machine and given the appropriate cross-slope for the new surface layer.

Efficient Track Drainage Provides Ideal Conditions for Competitive Athletics

The so-called cross-slope, barely perceptible to the human eye, is essential for optimal water drainage from the track surface and is extremely important for runners. The resurfacing process followed in reverse order.

Anew layer of asphalt was placed on top of the remaining base layer. This was followed by an elastic layer, and then the later visiblewearlayer,consistingofEPDM(ethylenepropylenedienemonomerrubber)and PUR (polyurethane). Here, high quality pavingoftheasphaltsub-baseisessentialfor ensuring the evenness and surface quality of the tartan track.

Tight Schedule Demands High-Performance Machine With Digital Assistance System

Since the whole project was on a very tightschedule,theasphaltremovalneededto be completed within the space of two days, duringwhichuncompromisingqualityofthe milled surface had to be guaranteed. In view of this, the lead contractor chose to use a high-performance W 200 Fi large milling machine fitted with MillAssist as a standard feature.

“The machine brings us the high speed and reliability we need. The automatic pro-

grams make our colleagues’ work easier, improve efficiency, and therefore also helps to reduce environmental impact. It’s exactly what we need for our projects,” said lead contractor Schiavi S.r.l’s project manager.

The milling team on the athletics track milled off the surface strip-by-strip. The big challenge here was getting a sufficient number of trucks onto the site to remove the enormous quantities of milled material this produced. With ideal logistics, a 2-meter

class cold milling machine can mill off and transfer more than 9,568 sq. yd. of surface layer material to trucks for removal from the site in a single day.

On this project, the logistical situation was extremely challenging, as the limited space inside the stadium made it difficulttodrivethetrucksinandget them into position. However, the“compact”modelamongthe large milling machines not only delivers powerful performance, but also is extremely agile, whichmeantthatmaneuverability was no problem at all.

This made it possible to complete the milling work within onlyoneworkingday,including the removal of the milled material from the project site.

Site Statistics

The surface area of the athletics track to be milled amounted to a total of around 4,784 sq. yd., 2,990 sq. yd. of which were running track and 1,794 sq. yd. infield areas. The W 200 Fi cold milling machine milled off the surface layer to a depth of .4 to .8 in.

The high-performance Wirtgen W 200 Fi cold milling machine at work on the renovation of the athletics track in Rome’s Olympic Stadium.

Schiavi S.r.l. chose to use a W 200 Fi for the project due to its tight schedule.

In automatic mode, the MILL ASSIST machine control system of the W 200 Fi ensures the most favorable balance between performance and operating costs. This not only increases milling performance, but also reduces diesel fuel, water, and pick consumption, and CO2 emissions.

Efficiency and Productivity

Serving the Asphalt Industry for 30 Years

Husqvarna Unveils Its First Battery-Powered Compactor

To further strengthen its light compaction range, Husqvarna Construction has introduced its first battery-powered compactor, the LFe60 LAT.

This new forward plate compactor delivers efficient compaction of soil and asphalt, and runs on the Honda eGX battery platform.TheLFe60LATwasdesignedtocombine easy handling, no CO2 direct exhaust emissions during operation, and smart features to deliver optimal cost of ownership.

Magnus Lindeberg, global product manager of light compaction at Husqvarna Construction, said, “ The LFe 60 LAT has thesamefantasticfeaturesasallofourexisting forward plate compactors. However, the fact that it’s battery-powered means it is easier to start, has reduced noise levels and produces no CO2 direct exhaust emissions during operation.

“This means the operator doesn’t have to deal with many of the challenges that come with refueling or the other demands of a combustion engine. As a result, the LFe 60 LAT can contribute to a working day that is lessphysicallydemandingandmoreproduc tive.”

tures such as a simple push-start button, transport wheels, low-vibrations and a han dle that folds for compact transport increase

efficiency. The electric motor of the LFe60 LAT compactor also helps reduce downtime andcostsasitrequireslessmaintenancethan a combustion engine, the manufacturer said.

The removeable, easy to fill water tank allows for precise control of water flow. At the same time, the bottom plate and water sprinkling system are designed to prevent the fresh asphalt from sticking to the equipment or creating marks on the ground.

“We believe the LFe 60 LAT is a great addition to our light compaction range,” Lindeberg said. “Acombination of reliability, performance and operational ergonomics make it highly attractive to asphalt contractors looking for a forward plate compactor that delivers great results and an optimized cost of ownership — plus the added benefits of battery power.”

The HP 100i Pneumatic-Tire Roller is primarily for the chipseal process.

Hamm has designed the new pneumatic-tire roller primarily for the chipseal process. With five wheels on the front axle and four wheels on the rear axle, it meets the requirements of the relevant tenders.The working width is 68 in. The generous overlapping of the tire tracks ensures homogeneous compaction. The roller is driven by a 55.4 kW Deutz engine in accordance with EPATier IV.

Three Ballast Variants

To match the application, the HP 100i is offered with 13,227lbs.,17,637lbs.or22,046lbs.(1operatingweights. The ballast kits for adjusting the weight are designed in such a way that individual modules can be attached or detached as required.The 185 gal. capacity water tank can be used for the ballasting.As an option, the roller can also be equipped with a water-sprinkling system as well as scrapers for the tires and thermal aprons and the HTM (Hamm Temperature Meter).

ROPS Cab or OperatorÊs Platform

For the different climatic zones, Hamm offers the pneumatic-tire roller with open operator’s platform, including ROPS, with protective roof or with ROPS cab. In each case,manystorageoptionsareavailable.Dependingonthe configuration, cup holders, heating, and air-conditioning system,aswellasa12Vpowersocket,arestandardequipment or available as an option.

Comfortable Equipment

The seat height and the degree of hardness of the suspension – as well as the seat tilt – can be adjusted as standard.The tilt and height of the armrests can also be adjusted at any time. Options such as a comfort exit with tiltable steering column, a backrest extension, seat belt monitoring device,anadditionaldrivingleverandcomfortarmrestson the left and right, as well as a radio, round off the range. Operation is simple and easy to understand even without language skills.

Good Visibility

In addition, there is a good view of the tireedgesfromthecab.Forthecabversion,acameraformonitoring the rear space is also available as an option. For operation on public roads, Hamm offers a lighting package that is adapted to national specifications. It can be supplemented with 4-way work spotlights, available as halogen lights or as highpower LEDs, and by LED tire lighting.

Intelligent Driving Control, Safe Steering

The working speed of the roller can be steplessly increased up to 11.8 mph, while an intelligent travel control system supports smooth and precise reversing behind the paver.Anti-slip control (ASC) is also available as an option for improved traction on rough terrain. The steering provides an extra layer of safety: Thanks to a steering angle sensor and the associated speed control depending on the steering angle, the speed is automatically reduced during fast cornering. The operator can then conveniently return to the preset speed at any time via a rocker switch on the driving lever.

Fuel Savings Standard

The HAMMTRONIC machine control system also guarantees energy efficiency in the on-board load management. It reduces the engine speeds in such a way that maximum power is always called up while fuel consumption remains low. The optionally available engine stop system, which automatically shutsdowntheengineduringprolongedinactivity,alsoensures low fuel consumption and low operating hours.

Easy Service

For maintenance, all service points are quickly and easily accessible.The scrapers on the pneumatic tires are also easy to change. Hamm has developed an innovative solution for changing the center tire: This can be quickly replaced via a folding and sliding mechanism without dismantling the other tires. 

Vermeer Introduces GPS-Enables Verifier G3+ Utility Locator

Vermeer continues to support the utility industry with the Vermeer Verifier G3+ utility locator launch.

This new-generation locator delivers highaccuracy,optimizedconnectivityand intuitive controls. The Verifier G3+ utility locator pairs with smartphones using the G3+ Map mobile app (available for IOS andAndroid) to plot location information, including depth, current index, GPS data, utility type, device name and the operator who performed the work.

The data-capturing ability of the Verifier G3+ locator allows contractors and utility owners to capture and store information about construction projects. That means they also can provide more information to their teams and customers.

“Trackingandstoringrecordsaboutthe specific location of underground utilities is vital,” explained Aaron James, product specialist II at Vermeer MV Solutions.

“With many lines out-of-sight in the congested areas, identifying and tracking one from another can be challenging. The technology that powers the Vermeer Verifier G3+ utility locator helps operators accurately identify and track individual utilities in crowded rights-of-way. Its

water-resistant, rugged design is well suited to the harsh everyday conditions that operators work in.”

The GPS-enabled Verifier G3+ utility locator can determine underground current direction against adjacent signals from other utilities. It can detect ambient noise so the operator can switch to a different frequency for a particular jobsite. Also, operators can adjust transmitter frequency and power outputs from up to 500 ft (152.4 m) away using a wireless connection.

Saved data from the locator is transferred using Bluetooth 5.0 to the G3+ Map app. The data also can be uploaded to the Vermeer Projects bore planning tool.

TheVermeerVerifierG3+offersoperators three locating modes: peak, peak/null and null. It has a water-resistant,one-size-fits-allcoilclampthatdoes not need to encircle a utility to induce a signal.Theyalsocanaddaminiprobeto track the location and depth of nonmetallic pipe accurately.

Conn. Contractor Finds Niche in HorseArena Construction

M. Provost Trucking & LandscapingProductswasfounded approximately 30 years ago by Mark Provost as a part-time gig to pick up some extra revenue. From its start, it was primarily a trucking company making deliveries every night after work until dark. The deliveries consisted of crushed stone, sand, compost and items of that nature that were being deliveredtolocallandscapersandhomeowners.

The company experienced steady growth and five years ago, Mark’s son, Nicholas, joined the business. Property was purchased in Putnam, Conn., where materials and equipment could be stored on site,whichalsoallowedthecompany to branch into retail sales, allowing customers to come to the facility for direct purchases.

The company also has expanded into material production, making products on site, including loam, structural fill, concrete sand and other basic products.

When Nicholas joined his father’s company, opening a facility was not the only major expansion for the company. The decision also was made to diversify into site work and excavation. The company had always been involved in construction projects of some degree, but Nicholas had a vision to significantly grow that aspect of the company.

The company has three divisions: a trucking company, which has 18-wheelers on the road every day of the week; a retail yard with 37 different products for sale; and a site development division, which does building sites, road construction, and, over the past few years, has found a niche in the construction of horse arenas.

“The horse arena construction aspect of our company started several years ago when we tackled our first indoor arena in Woodstock, Conn.,” said Nicholas. “We did all of the site work, a polebuildingwasconstructed,wehandledallofthefootings,land clearing,utilitiesandanythingelsethatwasneeded.Thecustomer

wasveryimpressed,andsheshared the project on Facebook and from there that aspect of our business grew like wildfire. Within a year, we had built another dozen of them inNewEngland,allofthembyrecommendation from satisfied customers.”

The most critical and time-consuming aspect of a riding arena construction is the final grade work, Nicholas said. The surface and the grade need to be perfect, and, until recently, all of this was done with a dozer using the naked eye to find the grade and then going back with a laser to check for accuracy.

“The average size entry level arena usually measures 170 feet by 90 feet. Once the rough excavation has been completed and we start working on the final grade. Using the dozer, we would be looking at a day or two to achieve the final grade. Our typical process is to strip the topsoil, then bring in a 3-inch minus for a base, top it off with 5 inches of stone dust, and then finish it off with the desired amount of top footing which would typically be a sand of the owner’s choice.

“I became aware of some new technology in grading equipment and did some research on the Internet in the hopes of being able to reduce the amount of time that this final grade work was taking. We contacted Scott Davis with Monroe Tractor, our local Case dealership.”

After working with Davis to explore various options Nicholas and his father purchased a Case 221F wheel loader with a laser grading box equipped with Leica Geosystems laser technology with the idea that the grader box and wheel loader would give them a more accurate grade in fewer trips and dramatically save time.

The first test came very quickly with a massive riding arena, nearly twice the usual size at 250 by 150 ft.

M. Provost Truck & Landscaping Products’ Case 321F is used primarily for handling materials in the yard.

M. Provost Truck & Landscaping Products’ Case 221F, paired with a Case grading box and Leica Geosystems grade control, is used primarily for horse-riding arena construction.

The most critical and time-consuming aspect of a riding arena construction is the final grade work, Nicholas Provost said. The surface and the grade need to be perfect, and, until recently, all of this was done with a bulldozer using the naked eye to find the grade and then going back with a laser to check for accuracy.

How to Turn Your Compact Excavator Into a Profit Center

By Drew Kolo SPECIALTO CEG

While compact excavators are known for being efficient digging machines, your compact excavator offers jobsite versatility far beyond digging.

With the right attachments and coupler system, compact excavators can perform a wide variety of tasks that can help you win jobs you may not have previously considered bidding for.

Herearefivejobsyoucanperformwithacompact excavator:

ï Demolition — Compact excavators are ideally suited for demolition work and can often complete small-scale demolition jobs, due to their power, extended reach and maneuverability. The combination of an excavator and breaker is ideal for breaking up concrete and asphalt driveways, sidewalks, trails and swimming pools.

With the right attachments and coupler system, compact excavators can perform a wide variety of tasks that can help you win jobs you may not have previously considered bidding for.

ï Land Clearing — Clearing areas zoned for new development is an opportunity to generate additional income with your compact excavator. When outfitted with a tooth bucket and a clamp, or with a three-tined grapple, compact excavators are effective at grabbing, and pulling rooted undergrowthfromtheground.Additionally,excavatorscanextend their reach into areas that present access challenges for other machines. This advantage makes an excavator equipped with a flail mower the ideal tool for clearing saplings, brush and other heavy overgrowth from steep hillsides, bridge embankments, riverbanks and utility right-of-way.

ï Ground Compaction — An excavator fitted with a plate compactor becomes a dual-use machine for increased return on investment. After digging with a bucket, a plate compactor attachment can be used to compress soil, eliminating the need for a crew member to pack down the dirt with a hand tamper.

ï Loading, Placing and Lifting — Compact excavators are ideal for loading and unloading trucks on confined work sites. Operators can dig out material and then rotate 180 degrees to load it into a truck for removal from the sight. When outfitted with a grapple, compact excavators provide

precisiongrasp,allowingoperatorstonotonlymove, but also place and sort materials. Additionally, a lift eye can be used for a wide range of lifting and placing tasks.

ï Site Prep — Prepping a site is another way to increase revenue with a compact excavator.Aripper can be used to scarify ground frost and hardened ground. Grading buckets and blades can be used for levelinguneventerrain.Combiningabucketorblade with a tilting attachment adds significant range of motion for more versatility on a jobsite. The wristlike action moves the excavator bucket or blade to either side, improving productivity by tilting the attachment or blade instead of moving the entire machine, to cut swales, shape contours and create slopes.

Outside of considering these applications as revenue streams, we advise that you also examine your compact excavators and the jobs they are performing as two separate areas within your organization. Sit down with your team and talk through which tasks are most profitable compared to their utilization rate, which attachments are bringing you the most business and what maintenance considerations you need to plan for.

Compact excavators have proven themselves a popular machine for traditional digging tasks. However, their compact size, attachment capability and proven performance have taken compact excavators beyond their traditional digging role and turned them into versatile profit-generating machines. 

Tsurumi Boosts Inventory toAid Disaster-StrickenAreas

Preparing for and handling severe rains in NorthAmerica is becoming increasingly challenging. Storms have become stronger, and residents in vulnerable areas are experiencing more frequent flooding and wind damage.

Water pumps are essential tools in mitigating the effectsofyard,basementorneighborhoodfloods.Yet, maintaining inventory in disaster-prone areas can be difficult due to sudden increases in demand.

Over the past few years, Tsurumi America has made meaningful efforts to provide customers with speedy access to pumps when they are most needed. The company monitors developing weather patterns and strategically supplies distributors near the most susceptible areas to help with recovery efforts following a storm.

“Historically at Tsurumi, we have taken pride in having reliable, efficient equipment in stock to meet the immediate and inevitable needs when disaster strikes,” said Ben Houk, portable product manager at TsurumiAmerica.

“We track tropical storms throughout the Gulf of MexicoanduptheEastCoast,aswellasotherweather events across the U.S., and have stocked inventory in strategically placed satellite warehouses to ensure our products are available to those in need. Maintaining inventory levels in these warehouses is key to our response time because, in the aftermath of many of these storms, long-distance shipping becomes a challenge.”

Houk explained that different types of pumps can

be used in flood applications, especially after severe storms orhurricanes.Themaindistinctionliesbetweenelectricsub-

mersible and engine-driven pumps.

“When a power source is available, electric submersible pumps are the preferred solution,” Houk said. “These pumps provide reliable dewatering capabilities in an extremelyefficientmanner.Whenelectricityisaffected, and generators are not available, engine-driven pumpsaretheobviouschoice.Thesepumpsarecapable of rapidly moving large amounts of water but require priming and repeated refueling.”

Several Tsurumi pump and generator series are used in disaster remediation, including:

ï HS semi-vortex electric submersible trash pumps

ï LB top-discharge electric submersible dewatering pumps

ï NK heavy-duty, high-head electric pumps

ï LSC and LSR electric submersible low-level drainage pumps

ï EPT and TE engine-driven trash and dewatering pumps (powered by Honda and Vanguard engines)

ï TPG contractor-grade portable generator (powered by Honda)

“When flooding occurs, fast and efficient dewatering is imperative to preserving public safety and minimizingfinancialloss.Thoseindisaster-strickenareas needdependableproductsduringandafteranextreme weather event. That’s where Tsurumi comes in, with the reliable equipment necessary to alleviate any stressful storm-related clean-up and rebuilding efforts,” Houk concluded.

The current skills gap and workforce shortage issues facing OEMs and equipment distributors are daunting. To addresstheseproblems,theAEDFoundationcreatedVision 2025, a project aimed at helping to increase the number of qualified technicians entering the equipment distribution industry.

Komatsu has contributed $250,000 toward this initiative.

“We recognize the imperative to build a talent pipeline for our distributors and the heavy equipment industry at large,” said Komatsu’s Rod Bull, executive vice president, NorthAmerica Region.

“Komatsu supports Vision 2025 and its focus on helping schools promote careers in the technical field to young people, who often aren’t aware of the great family-supporting jobs available in this industry. We’re excited to do our part to share this story of opportunity to join an industry that keeps our world growing and sustains our way of life.”

Research by the AED Foundation has found that the industryneedstofillananticipated73,500heavyequipment technician positions over the next five years, and that the technician shortage is compounded by a gap in required skills and available training.

Vision 2025 aims to address these issues by growing the foundation’s impact to include a minimum of 120 accredited college programs (currently 71), and a minimum of 200 recognized high school programs (currently 36). If the project is successful, it has the potential to create a talent pipeline that includes an additional 10,000 skilled technicians entering the workforce, 5,000AED Foundation-certified technicians and 500 AED Foundation-certified managers.

With a fundraising goal of $10 million over the next five years, Vision 2025 funds will be directed toward:

ï New college accreditation programs targeting underserved areas where an existing heavy equipment/diesel technology program is already in place

ï High school recognition programs that will prioritize locations that can serve as a feeder system into current and anticipated accredited college programs

ïExpandingtheAEDFoundation’sendowmenttoensure Vision 2025 efforts are sustainable over the long term

“The AED Foundation is grateful for Komatsu’s leadership and investment in our Vision 2025 campaign,” said AED Foundation President Brian McGuire. “Komatsu’s support, in conjunction with nearly 75 other investors, brings our Vision 2025 campaign to over $6 million. These investments provide the Foundation the sustainability needed to continue to be the heavy equipment industry’s leader in workforce development.”

Including Komatsu’s donation, a total of $1.45 million has been pledged to the Vision 2025 campaign by Komatsu and its dealer network.Among dealers that have donated:

Equip Expo NamedAward Finalist in Five Categories

Equip Exposition, the international landscape,outdoorlivingandequipmentexposition, recently was named a finalist in five categories for Trade Show Executive’s Gold 100Awards.

Equip Expo is one of the largest and most unique trade shows in the United States, with more than 25,000 people attending last year.

Equip Exposition was named a finalist for “Most Innovative Show,” “The Slam Dunk Award: Best New Idea,” “The Marketing Genius Award,” “The Best New Launch in 2022,” and “The Greatest Trade Show of 2022.”

“We have worked hard to innovate Equip Expoandbringthebestgold-standardlevelprogramming and events to our attendees and exhibitors,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns Equip Exposition. “These awards recognize our team’s hard work and dedication to providing the best possible show to the landscape, lawncare, hardscape and outdoor power equipment professionals.”

Equip Exposition is unique because it offers a 30-acre demo yard where attendees can literally mow, chop, dig, saw and drive with the latest outdoor power equipment. They can even try out the latest UTVs and their features on the UTV Test Track before going inside to the exhibits and industry training opportunities.

The latest technology, which is changing how landscaping is sold and created, is on full display at Equip Exposition in places like the Drone Zone, where attendees can try their hands at flying drones and take steps toward earning remote pilot certification. There’s even a dog adoption event on-site, Mutt Madness, wherethepeoplewhomakeAmerica’samazing landscapes can bring home furry friends who remind everyone why yards are so wonderful.

“We offer education, entertainment and hands-on experiences that happen nowhere else for the industry,” said Kiser.

Trade Show Executive’s prestigious Gold 100 & Summit recognizes the top trade shows held in the United States and offers associations and independent show organizers an opportunity to highlight their achievements. The awards will be presented in San Diego at a Summit being held Sept. 13 to 15.

BABAAlso Sets Procedures for Requesting Waivers

The rules, she said, will reach “communities in every corner of the United States, including those that have too often been left behind.”

ARTBAis cautious about the new guidance. In March, the association expressed concerns about several aspects of it. The association felt the BABAimplementation process lacks “clarity and logical timing.”

A de minimis waver included would exempt smallerprojectsandaproject’sfirstmilliondollars of funding from BuyAmerica.

The association objected to the policy of not using federal transportation agencies’expertise in administering BABA requirements. ARTBA also was concerned about wording that extended Buy America coverage to “materials beyond or in conflict with Congress’intentions.”

While IIJA exempts them from Buy America, OMB’s draft guidance suggests these cement, aggregatesandbindingmaterialscanbecoveredif combined to make another product.

“ARTBAstrongly opposes this potential policy and OMB’s proposed expansion of covered materials beyond the five categories Congress specified.”

The association noted that for more than 40 years, BuyAmerica has required a domestic manufacturing process for iron, steel and certain manufactured products permanently incorporated into federal-aid highway and transit projects.

In the IIJA, Congress added “construction materials” to thatcoverage,theassociationnotedinAugustinnotifyingits members that the rule had been finalized.

“Most of the policy dialogue on Buy America since the law’senactment21monthsagohasfocusedonthescopeand timing of that new provision,” said the group. “ARTBAhas submitted comments, initiated meetings and otherwise remainedinregularcontactwithMIAO,DOTandotherfederal officials as they have developed the directives released this week.”

Impact of Guidance

The final guidance supports the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s (BIL) requirements that manufactured products, construction materials, iron and steel in federally funded infrastructure projects are made inAmerica.

Shmavonian said it also serves as “a guide to agencies in using taxpayer dollars to strengthen our economy.”

The act supports the creation of good jobs in both construction and manufacturing expands domestic production through infrastructure investment, she said.

“When President Biden signed the BIL, it represented a once-in-a-generation investment in our nation’s infrastructure,” said Shmavonian.

The result was a “historic” opportunity to invest in American industry and workers by strengthening Made in America standards. Because the law, which includes the Build America, Buy America Act, expanded standards to require American-made materials and products, taxpayer dollars are invested back inAmerican jobs and manufacturing, she said.

Some 37,000 projects have been funded to date, “and we’re seeing the results,” said Shmavonian.

“Since the President took office, over 13 million new jobs

have been created, including 800,000 new manufacturing jobs nationwide.”

She said manufacturing and clean energy have seen more than a half-trillion dollars in outside private investment, already boosting the economy.

“The factory construction of today means manufacturing jobs for tomorrow and, currently, spending on construction of manufacturing plants has nearly doubled in the last two years.

The BIL, the Chips and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act are spurring investments across the country, Shmavonian added. “And thanks to the BuildAmerica Buy AmericaAct we’re not simply buying those products, we’re making them here at home.”

Breaking BABA Down

The rule defines key terms and finalizes the test that federalagenciesandawardrecipientsmustusetodeterminethe cost of components of manufactured products.

The guidance, which becomes effective 60 days after it’s published, also sets procedures for requesting and obtaining BABAwaivers.

Melissa Taylormoore, a partner of White & Case, said BABAmaximizes the fed’s use of services, goods, products and materials produced and offered domestically.

“BABA requires three product categories, iron or steel products;manufacturedproductsandconstructionmaterials, beproducedintheUnitedStateswhenusedincoveredinfrastructure projects,” she said.

BABA applies to awards made after May 14, 2022, and used to construct, alter, maintain or repair infrastructure in the United States.

This summer, the White House posted final guidance on its Build America Buy America Act.

With the final BABA guidance, President Joe Biden aims to bolster the economy “from the middle down and the bottom up.” see BABA page 88

ARTBA Continues Opposition to SomeAspects of BABA

BABA from page 84

Infrastructure includes public projects, suchasroads,highways,bridges,transportationfacilities,dams,ports,harbors,railroads, freight and intermodal facilities, airports, water systems and electrical transmission facilities and systems.

“Thenewguidanceisintendedtobehighlevelcoordinatingguidanceforfederalagencies to use in their own direct implementation of BABA,” said Taylormoore.

She added that the guidance will impact all companies who have or receive BABA covered awards.

As mentioned, there are exceptions to the rule. For instance, for-profit organizations are not subject to BuyAmerican preferences if they are a prime award recipient. Of course, that’s unless a federal agency specifically includes domestic content requirements in their award of federal financial assistance.

“Importantly,” said Taylormoore, “the BuyAmerica obligations are also applicable to for-profit entities that are a sub-recipient orsub-awardeeunderanawardthatcontains the Buy America Requirement term and condition.”

That also includes for-profit organizations that voluntarily agree to comply with the domestic obligations in their proposal or agreement with the agency.

As Taylormoore explains, the new guidance clarifies that anarticle,materialorsupplyshouldonlybeclassifiedasiron or steel products, manufactured products or construction materials.

“As such, the guidance updates and revises the definitions of these different categories with the objective of providing cleardirectionforfederalagenciesandawardrecipients,thus ensuring compliant projects.”

Final Guidance Defined

AccordingtoBABA,ironorsteelproductsmeansarticles, materials or supplies that consist “wholly or predominantly” of iron or steel or a combination of both.

“OMB declined to offer a specific definition of what it means by ‘predominantly,’ which many commenters to the draft guidance had sought,” said Taylormoore.

Instead, BABA’s definition aligns generally with the definitionusedinFederalAcquisitionRegulation(FAR)25.003 and uses the same “predominantly” language.

“OMB believes this symmetry between BABA and the FAR enables a clear differentiation between iron or steel products and other product categories,” she added.

At the same time, the two documents simultaneously provide “consistency and predictability between federal procurement projects covered by the FAR and federal financial assistance projects subject to BABA.”

Construction materials are defined as articles, materials or supplies that consist of only non-ferrous metals, plastic and polymer-based products, glass, fiber optic cable, optical fiber, lumber, engineered wood and drywall.

“Thedefinitionalsonotesthat‘minoradditionsofarticles, materials, supplies or binding agents to a construction material do not change the categorization of the construction material,’” said Taylormoore.

OMBconsultedthelistprovidedbyCongressasguidance for the items included as construction materials in determining its final construction materials list.

The agency said items added — fiber optic cable and engineered wood — show that an extension of materials specificallymentionedintheFindingssectioninBABAalso should be treated as construction materials, said Taylormoore.

Certain materials are excluded from the construction materials section, including cement and cementitious materials, aggregates such as stone, sand or gravel and aggregate binding agents or additives.

Manufactured products mean “articles, materials or suppliesthathavebeenprocessedintoaspecificformandshape or combined with other articles, materials or supplies to create a product with different properties than the individual articles, materials or supplies.”

Taylormooresaidthisdocumentwasrevisedtoprovidean affirmative definition for the term ‘manufactured products’ instead of just explaining what it did not include.

“Importantly, the definition also allows a manufactured product to include components that are construction materials,ironorsteelproducts,orsection70917(c)materials,”she said.

SheaddedwhilematerialsunderBABAcannotfallwithin more than one of the four categories, the guidance does emphasize that, in some cases, an article, material or supply may not fall under any category.

“Examples of such non-categorized materials would include temporary items brought to a work site and not permanently incorporated into a project, or non-manufactured raw materials that do not meet the definition of ‘manufactured products.’”

The guidance also recaps Buy America’s policy on waivers, which the appropriate federal agency must post for public comment and submit to MIAO for review, according toARTBA.

“Justifications for waivers include ‘unreasonable costs’ [i.e. domestic products will increase a project’s cost by 25 percent or more], ‘nonavailability’of domestically-manufactured products needed for the project, and ‘public interest.’”

Last November, DOT finalized a waiver ARTBA said it supported.“Thefinalversionissomewhatnarrowerinscope than the original proposal,” saidARTBA.

Key provisions include exemption for non-compliant products that total the lesser of $1 million or 5 percent of a project’s total applicable costs.

“The latter term represents the total cost of materials and manufactured products subject to BuyAmerica on the project, minus iron and steel,” saidARTBA.

Iron and steel are already covered by very small de minimis exemptions, including on federal-aid highway projects.

Exemption for an entire project is allowed when its total federalfundingisbelow$500,000.Previously,almosthalfof DOT’srelevantprojectawardsin2022fellunderthisthreshold.

“The department acknowledges the de minimis exemption will save on a project’s administrative costs, in part because it may cover much of a project’s ‘commercially available off-the-shelf’[COTS] products,” saidARTBA.

COTS are difficult to document and certify for Buy America compliance. The association said it has raised COTS concerns for more than a dozen years.

ARTBA told members the association “will continue to oppose any interpretation of BABAwhich allows for coverage of aggregates and related materials, which we believe conflicts with clear congressional intent.”

The group also noted that FHWA is reviewing its longstanding waiver for manufactured products on federal-aid highway projects.

“ARTBAcontinuestosupportthisimportantpolicy,without which the administrative costs for BuyAmerica compliance will likely increase demonstrably.”  CEG

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which includes BABA, expanded standards to require American-made materials and products so that taxpayer dollars are invested back in American jobs and manufacturing.

HEVI Leads Toward Sustainable Future WithReliableBattery-PoweredEquipment

pumps but have been popping up in commercial parking lots and shopping malls. While useful for EVs, they’re less so for heavy equipment.

So while it imagined its electric equipment as a new sustainable solution for industry, HEVI knew it couldn’t leave its customers alone facing new problems, Wang said.

“You can’t drive a loader somewhere to a charging station and that’s whyweoffertheserechargingsystems.”

Two years ago, HEVI began developmentofitsnon-stationaryDCchargers. One is the DCH-220-10, rated for 10 kW of output from a standard 220V line. It is of transportable dimensions — 16 in. by 13 in. by 7 in.— and can connect to a piece of equipment up to 35 ft. from a 220V plug-in.

TheotherHEVIchargeristheDCH480-30, which is compatible with 480volt outlets in industrial settings and is rated for 30 kW. It is somewhat larger in size, but still transportable. The smaller charger weighs 66 lbs., the larger one is 220 lbs., changing the game for onsite refueling. What sometimes necessitated truck-mounted diesel tanks, or large, on-site storage now only requires some simple equipment that can fit easily into a sedan. HEVI has even charged its GEL-1800 using a Ford F150 Lightning, a setup that allows you to turn that electric

pickup truck into a mobile charging station for your heavy equipment.

And how quickly can the charging units restore a piece of equipment to full power? With HEVI’s proprietary charger, the company expects an overnight charge is all it would take. Using the DC fast charging station can achieve a full recharge in 30 to 90 minutes. (HEVI recommends that you operate the batteries within the recognized 15 to 80 percent state of charge; doing so helps preserve optimal battery life.)

For the applications these machines are intended for, Wang notes that these chargingtimesshouldfitwellintodaily work routines. When asked about whether charging times will get faster, Wangsaid,“TheDCFastChargingstations we see now were only developed and installed in the past couple years, and we constantly see them improving by bringing faster charging times. Our non-stationary DC chargers have only just arrived and will benefit from the rapid advancements in charging tech in pretty much the same way.

“In the meantime, our chargers can work anywhere there is a 220V or 480V connection for the DCH-220-10 and DCH-480-30, respectively,” said Wang.

“We are constantly exploring solutionsthatwillhelpourequipmentoperate seamlessly on an increasing variety of work sites.”

Thebusinessdevelopmentexecutive was asked if the company, which has dedicateditselftoenvironmentallysustainable solutions, has considered similaroptions,suchashydrogen-powered equipment. “We are aware of it and may look at hydrogen in the future,” he said. “At the moment, EVis still a very new but viable industry. Hydrogen is not even close to being a practical option, yet.”

For HEVI, providing sustainable solutionsrightnowiscriticaltoitsmission.

HEVIisquicklyestablishingitselfas a leader toward a sustainable future. While there is still much work to do to eliminate industrial emissions, Wang is passionate about HEVI being a major player in that endeavor. With increasing regulatory pressure toward “green initiatives,” he sees his entire team as stewards to help construction industry contractors meet these requirements and to do so competitively, efficiently and affordably.

Wang expressed pride in everything HEVI has accomplished since they began in 2019.

“With HEVI at the forefront of heavy equipment electrification, battery power in this industry is no longer afar-fetchedconcept,”hesaid.“Forthe first time, businesses have an immediate, cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to diesel.” 

Design-Build Project to Make D.C.-Area Parkway Safer

determined that it is time for an upgrade. The rehabilitation of the northern end of the parkway will encompass a 7.5-mi. section from the Capital Beltway, I-495, to Virginia’s Spout Run Parkway. Begun last summer, the project is expected to last through 2025 and will cost $162 million.

The job is a design-build project that will be handled by Fort Myer Construction from D.C. with engineering led by WSP.

“The road has been in operation for over 60 years and needsworktomakeitmorereliableandsaferformotorists,” said Mark Maloy, spokesperson of the National Park Service. “It offers some great views, but we are planning to eliminate barriers to that view, including removing trees that have grown up over the years.”

The project is not just to build another interstate.

“We want to maintain the character of the park,” said Maloy. “The park has been known for the low stone walls that mark its borders. We have determined to build the walls higher for safety and we will be going to the quarry near Bethesda, Md., that the original stone came from for the additional stone needed.”

The rehabilitated parkway will still have just two lanes in each direction. A temporary third lane has been added in some locations for traffic to allow space for construction workers and equipment.

“Webelievethiswillhelpkeeptheworkerssaferandhave less confusion for the drivers.At least one lane will be open in each direction at all times. A reversible lane will help commuters in the morning and evening. We hope this will relieve most of the congestion caused by the work.”

The rehabilitation will require a fulldepth reclamation, with 15-20 percent oftheoldroadrecycledandusedforthe subgrade and intermediate layers. By recycling the asphalt, Fort Myer and the NPS will save costs and experience environmental benefits. Recycling means fewer truck trips and less stone and asphalt will be required.

In addition to building a new asphalt road, Fort Myer will be rehabilitating nine bridges. Its efforts include deck repairs, bearing fixes, painting, railing maintenance and erosion control. The project will require about 100,000 tons of asphalt, 160,000 linear ft. of concrete curb and 700 inlets for drainage.

Road Reconstruction

Sam Patel, vice president of Fort Myer, is leading the design-build project.

“Our job will be to restore the road to a pleasant, safe drive,” he said. “That means a complete reconstruction, including drainage, guardrails, utility relocations and rebuilding the interchange at Route 123.”

Patel described the roadbed as varied in strength with some areas requiring complete restoration. The new road will be about 13-in. in depth. Most areas will require 8 in. of asphalt with some sections needing as much as 12 in. of recycled asphalt and cement-treated middle layer.

“Since this is not a road that carries a lot of truck traffic,

webelievetheroadwilllastalongtime,”saidPatel.“Weare being proactive to build a new road before it becomes unsafe.”

Fort Myer will be using milling machines, pavers, dozers andexcavatorsfortheproject.Theconstructionteamwillbe using GPS assistance on the equipment to assist with accurate placement of materials. The efforts were hampered by the heavy tree coverage near the road.

“Someoftheoutfallsnexttothebridgesweresosteepthat we decided to use remote-controlled Bobcats,” said Patel.

“That meant we could get the work done without worrying that the machinery would tip over and injure our workers.

OurASVRT60 Posi-track loader could dig stone and rip rap at grades of 30-40 percent, which is quite steep.”

In some places, the parkway looks like a tunnel of trees. This foliage limited the use of dump trucks, which would have hit the trees when depositing the asphalt. Instead, the highway workers used trucks that feed the asphalt onto the road from the bottom of the truck beds.

“This is a historic roadway,” said Patel. “So, we are trying to have less disturbance than might be for normal highway work. When the reconstruction is complete, motorists will once again have a beautiful driving experience.” 

The job is a design-build project that will be handled by Fort Myer Construction from D.C. with engineering led

The parkway carries approximately 70,000 cars per day.

KAGE Innovation Releases New Trip Edge Snow Pusher

Once again, KAGE Innovation has pushed snow removal to a new level — this time with the release of its new advanced snow pusher — the KAGE SnowFire Blast.

This snow box takes the simplicity of a standard snow pusher and adds in many of the safety and performanceenhancing features found in its famous SnowFire 2-in-1 plow and pusher system.

The SnowFire Blast is a trip edge box plow with float ing skids. This means you can plow right up to, and over, curbs for a closer scrape and minimal damage. It also means that you no longer need to settle for rubber cutting edges on your pusher.

Designed for skid steers, compact utility tractors and compact wheel loaders, the SnowFire Blast accommodates steel, sectional carbide and poly cutting edges with universal DOT highway punches. That means you can use your favorite cutting edge without worrying about damaging curbs, manhole covers or your pusher.

The SnowFire Blast still includes the same 12 degrees of oscillation found on the traditional SnowFire system and added extra float to

the quick attach system. Where you’ll see the biggest difference between the Blast snow pusher the traditional SnowFire system is that the side

It has no hydraulics running to the plow itself.This brings themoldboardclosertothecabandeliminatestheoptionfor angle plowing. It also lowers the price tag significantly, according to the manufacturer.

KAGE SnowFire Blasts are available in five different sizes, ranging from 6 ft. to 12 ft. wide.

Yoder&FreyTapsThurstontoCreateExpansion,BoostBrand

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

Although Mike Thurston loved his job as vice president of TLG Peterbilt in Springfield, Mo., a job he had for the previous 15 years, he found himself open to listening to a proposal late in 2022 with the owner of Europe’s largest construction equipment auction company.

Thurston enjoyed a long business relationship with Jonnie Keys, one of the owners of Euro Auctions in the United Kingdom, where the two friends discussed a series of topics, among them Keys’ vision for his North American subsidiary, Yoder & FreyAuctioneers LLC in Kissimmee, Fla.

What Thurston heard in his talks with Keys both intrigued and challenged him, including the offer to become Yoder & Frey’s new senior vice president in the United States.

“Ireallywasn’tlookingtodosomethingdifferent,”hesaid.“Ihadawonderful career at a great family-owned company, so the question was: why would I leave a company and a job I loved? The answer, quite honestly, is that I saw it as a challenge to help Jonnie build a North Americanmarketandfinishmycareerinthe auction business, an industry I started in and had missed.”

Later, more discussion between the two finally led Thurston to accept the new position withYoder & Frey lastApril.

He was brought on board at the auction company to help accelerate its ongoing expansion and popularize its brand nationwide, Yoder & Frey said in a press release announcing Thurston’s hire. Euro Auctions was attracted to his more than 30 years in auctions and finance, including funding large assets in the construction and machinery sector.

Thurston’s responsibilities include overseeing Yoder & Frey’s entire North American enterprise, where he will pay close attention to building a top-shelf sales and operations apparatus. That means identifying and hiring salespeople, equipment experts, shop personnel and parts specialists —alldonewiththeprimarygoalofexpanding the company.

Establishing Company Viability Is ThurstonÊs Specialty

Born in Minnesota, Thurston graduated from the University of Notre Dame, before obtaining his MBA from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn.

“My first job out of college was with Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, where I worked

for eight years, first as yard manager before Imovedintosales,”hesaid.“Followingthat, I spent three years with Firstar Equipment Finance, which I left when it merged with a bank.”

As he moved up in his career, Thurston next served as equipment asset manager for TCF Bank in his home state, before an opportunity came up for him to become the director of used equipment worldwide for Seattle-based PACCAR, a globalleaderinthedesign,manufacture and customer support of premium trucks such as Kenworth and Peterbilt.

After three years, that job led to his top management position atTLG Peterbilt in Missouri and, eventually, toYoder & Frey, where he started on May 1.

Thurston is proud of the fact that every management-level job he has had has been to either establish or rebuild viability within a business or one of its departments. The challengeforhimisbeingabletoaccomplish that successfully and is at the core of what drives him.

“WhenyoulookatFirstar,TCFandPACCAR — especially TLG Peterbilt, and now Yoder & Frey — that was what I was hired to do each time,” he said.

& Frey Bigger

Dromore, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland, wants Keys’ vision for Yoder & Frey transformed into reality by allowing Thurston to apply those same talents that worked so well for his previous employers. The auction company’s case means establishing a larger market presence across North America.

Asitcurrentlystands,Yoder&Frey has three properties on the continent, all in the United States. They include one auction site each in North Baltimore, Ohio (which serves as its North America headquarters); Houston, Texas; and the Kissimmee facility, just south of Orlando between Interstate 4 and the Florida Turnpike.

“Euro Auctions’ vision and my vision are focused squarely on Yoder & Frey’s expansion, and we want to dothatbybuildingnewfacilities,buying new properties and hiring more salespeople,” Thurston said. “I have been working on that last task already by bringing in three new salespeople, bringing our total sales force up to 11. In addition, we expect to be coast-tocoast with our auctions, just like how our parent company does it in Europe.

“EuroAuctionisthetopplayerinEurope; no one is bigger than them,” he added. “Will webecomethatbigintheU.S.?Thatisprob-

through acquisition, and that could be througheitherbuyingmorepropertyorother auction companies.”

The dominant heavy equipment auction company in Europe, Euro Auctions’ 2017 purchase of Yoder & Frey is a continuation of its long reach across the globe. It also has established operations in the Middle East, Australia and other locales.

Like its parent company, Yoder & Frey alsowillstarttothinkbiggerintermsoffinding new markets, Thurston said, and does not want to limit its operational bounds.

The question of whether the Floridabased auction company will make any movesbeyondtheU.S.borderstootherparts of the continent is still being considered, he noted.

“It would definitely include North America,” according to Thurston. “We are lookingatCanada,aplacewherewecertainly want to have a footprint.”

Combined with Euro Auctions, Yoder & Frey already compares very favorably to its competition, several of which also are located in central Florida.

“If you look at worldwide, we are easily number two because of our association with EuroAuctions, but as far as the U.S. market, it is hard to say,” he said.

Yoder & Frey Works to Make Auction Process Easy

Next February’s Florida Auctions in theOrlando,Fla.,area,attendedbyauction firms and customers from all over the world, is the industry’s most important event of the year. It also is an occasion for contractors looking for the machines they need at prices that fit their budgets.

“Everybody’s Florida sale is the big one in February, a five-to-seven-day sale for all the auction companies,” said Thurston, “and all the major auction firms like us are based within a 75-mile radius of Orlando.”

But for Yoder & Frey, the 2024 FloridaAuctionswillbeevenmorespecial in that it will mark the company’s 50th anniversary. Additionally, with Thurstonatthehelm,itwillgivehiman opportunity to see how his operation stacks up against the industry’s other top players.

ably not realistic, but the vision is that we becomesignificantlybiggerthanwearenow with multiple locations.”

He insists there is no set number of branches planned as yet but added that he could easily see Yoder & Frey having anywhere from six to 10 locations across the country and 40 or 50 salespeople coast-tocoast.

“Wewanttodoexpansionorganicallyand

Like other heavy equipment auctioneers, Yoder & Frey holds sales events several times a year, but how each of them conducts their auctions varies from company to company.

“I think there are a few things that differentiate us from our competitors in that the majority of our sales are live, in-person

Mike Thurston’s responsibilities include overseeing Yoder & Frey’s entire North American enterprise.

“We want to do expansion organically and through acquisition, and that could be through either buying more property or other auction companies.”

“We quickly determined that Scott had pointed us in the right direction,” Nicholas said. “Iwasabletoremoveallofthe current footing down to the stone dust base in just over three hours, which would normally have taken 10 to 12 hours.

“If I had tackled the same project using our traditional approach, we would have used an excavator with a grading bucket because the dozer would have been too jumpy trying to get through the hard pack footing. The excavator would have been needed because constant hydraulic pressure is required to be able toscalpstonedustwithoutcuttingintoit.Needlesstosay,the time and cost savings on this first project were phenomenal and we knew with confidence what direction we would be heading in the future.”

When asked about any previous experiences Nicholas may have had with Case equipment or Monroe Tractor he shared, “It’s a funny thing. Since I was a little kid, I always liked Case equipment. I think it was something as simple as I just liked how they looked. So, when I was five years old, if you asked me what kind of construction equipment I liked, I would always say Case.

“A few years ago, we purchased a skid steer for moving materials around the yard, but it wasn’t really the ideal application. That’s when we first started working with Scott at Monroe Tractor. He recommended

that we start using a Case 221 compact wheel loader for loading and unloading materials in the yard, which turned out to be far more practical than the skid steer. We weresopleasedwiththeperformancethatin the winter we purchased a second Case 221 for snow removal.

“When we made the decision to start usingaCaseloaderwithagraderboxforthe horse arenas, we traded in both of our Case loaders to get brand new machines: a Case 221F to pair up with the grader box and a Case 321F to be used at the material yard.”

One of the big reasons the Provosts like the Case 321F for a yard machine is its abilitytohaveaskidsteerplateinsteadofastandard coupler.

“Theskidsteerplategivesustheabilityto drop down to a 1/2-yard bucket for a small load and easily switch back to a full-size bucket for a larger load in just a matter of a minute or two. So, we can use the same machine to fill a compact pickup truck that we would use to load an 18-wheeler. With that same machine I have enough reach [more than 13 feet] that I can load a tri-axle

dump and easily do a full scroll down with the bucket and clear the truck body.”

According to Nicholas, the overall experience with Case and Monroe Tractor has been very good.

“Monroe Tractor and Scott Davis have been there for us consistently over the years and have never left us hanging. For our application, the Case machines have been superior primarily because of the way the front boom is laid out and the amount of clearance that it gives us when we clean out under our screening plant. We are using Monroe Tractor for other needs besides our loaders. For instance, we just recently rented a screening plant from them, which made it possible to screen several thousand yards of material in one week.”

Nicholas has a very positive outlook for the future of M. Provost Trucking & Landscape Products.

“We have averaged 200 percent growth for the last four years in a row and we look good to be able to maintain that.”

When asked “what’s the secret,” Nicholas replied, “Seventeen-hour workdays.”

Mike Thurston Looks Forward to Senior U.S. Veep Role

auctions,” he said. “This year in the U.S., we will do right around 20 sales events. They are live auctions, but all are hosted virtually, as well, to accommodate both our domestic customers who can’t be there, and our customers from overseas.

“Westillliketheenvironmentof a live auction, though, with the equipment running and people onsite — that is important to us. Plus, we are also very aggressive on our pricing and on our admis-

sion structure.”

Thurston also believes that Yoder & Frey has succeeded in removing the hassle for buyers and sellers in the auction process.

“I think that is another of our key differentiators,” he said. “I think the thing to focus on is that we are offering unreserved auctions. When customers know that — and that the equipment is going to be sold to a buyer — a new and better clientele is likely to attend because they understand that no games will be played. Yoder & Frey and Ritchie Bros. do it that

way, but it is a fairly unique practice in our industry.”

One of the most powerful tools in Yoder & Frey’s arsenal is that it will hold auctions off site at a customer’s yard as well, something the company’s largest competitor has shied away from, he said.

“Any time you can have a complete dispersal in an owner’s yard who has been in business for 25 or 50 years, it is very powerful. For instance, we just did an auction for a customer in Ohio whose company had been in business for over 100 years.”

In addition to these selling options,Yoder&Freyisoneofthe few auctioneers that also offers an online marketplace where customers can make an offer or there is a “Buy It Now” price,” he said.

“This is a great option for large or niche items that don’t lend themselves to auctions,” Thurston added.

Right Job in Perfect Place

Thurston indicated that his movetoYoder&Freycouldbethe last of the many jobs in his career, but, if nothing else, it finally puts

him in a state with a sunnier climate than the other places where he has lived and worked.

In addition, it reunites him with his brother, Joe, who has been a salesman at the auction company for more than seven years.

“My wife and I always knew thatthiswasourendgame,andthe job certainly accelerated our plan of getting to Florida,” he said. “Thatwasapieceofthepuzzlethat fit well into this latest career change.”
