The first step in bringing beautiful Belmont Park and its 54-year-old grandstand into the modern era began a few months ago with the construction of retaining walls that would allow a tunnel to the infield to be built.
Registration for the show opened in early August and the largest groups of international registrations are coming in from Canada, Australia, the UK, Mexico and New Zealand.
Officials in New Jersey’s Camden County have announced that plans are being made for a trail bridge over the Cooper River.
Both the old bridge and the temporary bridge spans Red Creek (a tributary of Dry Fork of Cheat River) along the southern border of the Dolly Sods Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest.
The project is being built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) with the goal of enhancing the ability of military personnel to deploy more quickly and safely, according to a news release from the Army’s engineering branch.
Solving tough problems for its customers is important to SmithCo, and its team works with customers every step of the way to make sure they get what they need to do the job better.
“In order to meet the evolving and ever challenging needs of our customer base, our product line will continue to expand beyond traditional heavy-haul trailers,” explained Todd Anderson, president of Fontaine Specialized.
The program gives recent high school graduates the opportunity to obtain their associates degree in diesel technology.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) released a report Sept. 24 detailing the agency’s proposed $52 billion plan to protect the New York City metropolitan area from storm surges and coastal flooding. The study marks a major step forward in a long-delayed plan first proposed in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy exactly 10 years ago.
The USACE report notes significant details for a proposal that was chosen from a range of five options, as part of the NY & NJ Harbor & Tributaries Focus Area Feasibility Study (HATS).
The tentative plan, Alternative3B,currentlyproposes a 14-year construction project that would build 12 storm surge gates across some of the largest waterways around the metropolitan New York City region, reported Gothamist, a New York Public Radio online news service.
Alternative 3B also would erect coastal barriers across more than 41 mi. of the city’s shoreline, including extensive systems of seawalls and floodwalls in East Harlem, Lower Manhattan, southern Brooklyn and the entire Rockaway Peninsula.
USACE is asking for public feedback on its report through Jan. 6, 2023, in order to refine the proposal. The Corps expects to begin final designs for the plan in 2025 and start construction in 2030.
If approved, funded and built, the USACE proposal would create the largest and most comprehensive system of coastal protections in the region, while dramatically reshaping New York City’s waterfront.
Italsowouldbeoneofthelargestinfrastructure projects in the city’s history. The scale of the proposal is comparable to the $14.5 billion system of levees, flood gates and seawalls that the federal agency built along 133 mi. of New Orleans’ coastline in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
However, just 11 months after completion of the Louisiana project, that system was deemed insufficient and in need of upgrades due to subsidence and rising sea levels.
The Corps initially expected to announce its tentative plan for New York in late 2019 or early 2020. But funding for the study was abruptly halted in February 2020, after thenPresident Donald Trump described it as “a costly, foolish & environmentally unfriendly idea that, when needed, probably won’t work anyway.”
The largest alternative considered was a $119 billion plan that included a five-mi.-long storm surge barrier built across the mouth of Lower New York Bay, stretching from Sandy Hook, N.J., to Breezy Point, Queens.
The HATS study was quietly restarted in October 2021, under the Biden Administration, andAlternative 3B was selected this past July, after more than two years of delays.
Several factors went into its choice, including an evaluation of how it would protect the region from storm surges over a 50-year period.According to the HATS report,Alternative 3B could reduce the economic damages causedbycoastalstormsfrom2044to2093by an average of $6.2 billion a year.
Gothamist reported USACE expects storm surges in New York City to become more frequentandintenseintheyearsahead,duetoclimate change and sea level rise.
The proposal would potentially affect many ecosystems and wildlife species with surge barriers and seawalls constructed in marine habitats, wetlands, beaches and parks. The Corps report, though, noted that the impacts on wildlife, fish and endangered species would generally be low to moderate.
The largest environmental impacts are expected in the Jamaica Bay region, where the USACE rated the disruption on floodplains, wetlands, and the parklands managed by the National Park Service (NPS) as part of the Gateway National RecreationArea to be moderately high.
Several environmental groups, including the Natural Resources Defense Council,
Riverkeeper, Gowanus Canal Conservancy, Guardians of Flushing Bay and Newtown Creek Alliance, have expressed serious concerns about the barriers.
Riverkeeper, a non-profit working to protect the entire Hudson River watershed, has described the HATS study as “fatally flawed,” and said storm surge barriers would pose “a threat to the very life of the Hudson [River and] Harbor.”
Gothamist noted that these organizations have raised questions about the destruction of marine habitats and migration routes as well as the possibility that closing the gates during major storms would trap rainwater runoff, raw sewage and other pollutants behind barriers, causing flooding and pollution inland, in residential neighborhoods and parks.
Three of the waterways where storm surge gates are planned are highly polluted Superfund sites, which are undergoing lengthy cleanupsbytheU.S.EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA).
The Waterfront Alliance, an organization that works with a coalition of more than 1,100 waterfront organizations in the region, released a statement aboutAlternative 3B to Gothamist.
“Waterfront Alliance is pleased to see the U.S.ArmyCorpsofEngineersshiftawayfrom a storm surge barrier at the mouth of the New York-New Jersey harbor, to a more hybrid approach of green and grey infrastructure solutions,” said Tyler Taba, the organization’s senior manager for Climate Policy. “We continue to echo our support for a phased approach that incorporates more natural and nature-based features. We particularly encourage a closer look at buyouts, restored natural areas, elevation or relocation of infrastructure, and non-
physical nonstructural measures.”
The 12 storm surge gates proposed by the USACE would be constructed in tidal straits and rivers across the city. During major storms, they would be closed, protecting inland communities from the Atlantic Ocean, but the gates are not intended to guard against the gradual creep of sea level rise or inland flooding from heavy rainfalls, like the deadly floods caused by Hurricane Ida last year.
The largest gates currently proposed include a dual surge gate system on the Arthur Kill and the Kill van Kull, two of the busiest shipping channels in the region, and a gate across the entrance to Jamaica Bay, a vast tidal estuary that is home to nature preserves and endangered salt marshes.
Gothamist reported that storm surge gates also would be built in NewYork at the mouths of Flushing Creek, Newtown Creek, Gowanus Canal, Sheepshead Bay, Gerritsen Creek, Shellbank Basin, Hawtree Creek, and at the head of Jamaica Bay, and, in New Jersey on the Hackensack River.Atidal gate also is proposed for the middle section of Coney Island Creek.
On shore, these gates would be connected to more than 31 mi. of coastal defenses built across surrounding neighborhoods, including a system of levees, floodwalls and seawalls that would stretch over 22 mi. from Bath Beach, Brooklyn, to Far Rockaway, Queens. The plan also calls for constructing walls, elevated promenades, and flood barriers along 5.7 mi. of shoreline in Lower Manhattan, 4.7 mi. in East Harlem, and 8 mi. in Jersey City, N.J.
While Alternative 3B was not the largest proposal considered by the USACE, it is, by far, the most comprehensive system of coastal barriersproposedforthecity.TheCorpsisalso building coastal defenses along the waterfront of the Rockaway Peninsula and has begun its preliminary work on a 5.3-mi.-long shoreline barrier in Staten Island.
Other large efforts currently under way in New York City include the Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery’s Living Breakwaters in Staten Island and the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) Project in Manhattan, Gothamist noted. Each of these projects protects a relatively small part of the city’s waterfront, compared to the USACE’s latest proposal.

The Utility & Transportation Contractors Association of New Jersey (UTCA) held its annual convention at the Borgata Casino Resort Sept. 29 to Oct. 1, 2022, in Atlantic City, N.J.
At the convention’s trade show exhibit, more than 100 exhibitors kept attendees busy touting their equipment offering and services.
This year’s keynote address featured Jimmy Wayne, award-winning song writer and recording artist; author of the novel and made for TV movie Paper Angels; and author of the NY Times Bestseller, Walk to Beautiful.
Wayne opened his keynote by performing his song, “Kerosene Kid,” and his Hall & Oates cover of “Sara Smile.” He then spoke about the challenges he faced in his childhood. He grew up in Bessemer City. His biological father abandoned him, and he and his sister were raised in and out of foster homes or were left with other people when
their mother would leave them or was in prison. She served four months in prison in 1985 when Wayne was 12.
After entering a group home, Wayne ran
away and lived with his mother for a brief time before living on the streets and with his sister, Patricia, for a short while. He was invited to move in with an elderly couple, Russell and Bea Costner, (just down the road from where his mother was living), after being hired to mow their lawn.Afterfinishinghighschoolandearning a degree in Criminal Justice, he worked as a guard at the Gaston Correctional Facility, where he worked as a corrections officer for four years before moving to Nashville, Tenn., to pursue his musical interests.
On Jan. 1, 2010, Wayne set out on a 1,660-mi. walk from Nashville to Phoenix to raise awareness to the plight of the 30,000 children who age out of foster care every year in America, into homelessness homeless youth aging out foster system. Called the “Meet Me Halfway” campaign, he walked 25 mi. a day, only taking days off see UTCA page 36
JESCO, which is celebrating its 50-year anniversary, raffled off a John Deere model XUV550 for one lucky attendee. Derrick Ward (L) and Charles Dull pose in front of the giveaway.
Eagle Power & Equipment and PALICA held a Hauling Compliance Course Sept. 21, 2022, at the equipment dealer’s Montgomeryville, Pa., facility.
The course, led by Pennsylvania State Troopers Anthony (Dan) Falgares and Sean Ahearn, as well as Dalton Leonard, motor carrier enforcement officer of the Pennsylvania State Police, was open to all companies, organizations and individuals who haul equipment in Pennsylvania.
Approximately 170 attendees learned the different federal and state requirements to safely and legally tie down machines for highway travel. Prior to the presentation, Eagle Power provided dinner and snacks, and the class ran from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The Pennsylvania Chapter of the Land Improvement Contractors of America (PALICA) co-hosted the event and is one of the original LICA chapters, founded in 1970. The association’s members consist of utility contractors, earthmovers, road builders, drainage and field tilers, landscapers, pavers, site contractors and more and its primary goal is to “work smarter, safer and more efficiently.”
Gerald Biuso is the national LICACEO and attended the event.
“Pennsylvania LICAand Eagle Power are getting together to educate contractors about the new laws and regulations thatcomefromDOT,”hesaid.“PennsylvaniaStateTroopers Dan Falgares and SeanAhearn also will provide a simulated inspection on a truck and trailer loaded with a Case Super N backhoe. I’m sure our contractors will learn a great deal of what they do right and what they do not do right.”
Biuso added that PA LICA is among the fastest-growing chapters in the United States.
“And our goal, my goal specifically is to help contractors run safer, smarter and more profitable,” he said. “And I take my job very seriously. I go across the country helping contractors to do exactly that.”
Attendees fill out PALICA membership applications while (L-R) Gerald Biuso, national LICA CEO; Chris Wagner, national LICA president; and Eddy Mayen, executive director of LICA Educational Foundation for Veterans, look on.
Bridget McDonald, vice president of Eagle Power & Equipment, was proud that her company was hosting this event with PALICA for the third time.
“It has always been a great success,” she said. “This is probably the largest that we have hosted in years, and we are very excited for that. PALICA is a great organization and we’ve been partners together for about seven years now. We became partners with them through a Case program. They had a program with them years ago.And our relationship has continued since then. We are happy to be able to allow our customers the opportunity to bring their employees here, and we are hoping that everyone has a nice time and gets something out of it to make their jobs safer. For the simulated inspection part of the event, I want to thank Flourtown Sunoco Inc. for bring their truck here tonight to help PALICA, the Pennsylvania State Police and us to educate our guests.”

The mountains of dirt are back at New York’s Belmont Park.
They became part of the sports complex’s landscape in 2019 when construction began on the 19,000-seat UBS Arena at Belmont Park, home to the NHL’s New York Islanders. The project chewed up about half of the historic horse track’s backyard and a parking area behind its grandstand.
Now it is the racetrack’s turn to begin a renovation process that in the next five years will transform Belmont Park into an ultramodern facility built for the realities of racing in the 2020s and beyond, reported BloodHorse Daily, a publication devoted to the sport.
“It’s going to be an incredible complex once we finish,” said Glen Kozak, the New York Racing Association’s (NYRA) senior vice president of operations and capital projects.
The first step in bringing beautiful Belmont Park and its 54-year-old grandstand into the modern era began a few months ago with the construction of retaining walls that would allow a tunnel to the infield to be built.
The second part of that process is currently under way with the task of excavating the dirt and setting the concrete for a 504-ft.-long, 48-ft.-wide tunnel from the backstretch to the infield that will be 33 ft. underground.
“It’s a massive excavation of sand,” Kozak explained. “Fortunately, there is good product out there, so the excavation has been fairly quick.”
While the tunnel ultimately will enable patrons to enter the infield from the racetrack’s parking lots and Long Island Railroad station, for now it will allow construction equipment to drive into the infield. That will allow infrastructure work to be done, paving the way for work in the next few years when NYRA will rebuild its main dirt track and two turf courses as well as add a fourth track topped by a synthetic Tapeta surface.
“On one side it will be a pedestrian tunnel and [on] the other a vehicular path so that we can get trucks and other vehicles through it,” noted Kozak, adding, “Obviously, it’s multi-purposed. It gives us access to the infield so that we can continue construction while everything is going on over a multi-year span and we are not damaging the surfaces by driving over them to get to the infield.”
Additionally, the tunnel will allow infield work to be finished without damaging the main track and turf courses that will re-open for racing and training next spring.
While the tunnel is expected to be finished by the end of November, the infrastructure work will be a lengthier process, according to BloodHorse. Before work on any of the tracks begins, Kozak explained that contractors have many projects to tackle, such as building a lined infield pond for irrigation, along with a pump station, and doing all the electrical work to connect with a power grid that was previously installed for the arena and the complex.
Although the upcoming Belmont Park fall race meet was moved to Aqueduct Racetrack due to the construction work, race training will continue daily. With the tunnel positioned
near the three-quarters pole, shadow fencing will be put up at the 11/16ths and 13/16ths poles, allowing horses to gallop on turf and dirt over 11 of the track’s 12 furlongs.
“We’re losing about an eighth of a mile for training, so we are adding another outrider position to help with that,” explained Kozak. “We want to accommodate the trainers during this time because we realize it is an inconvenience for them, and [the New York Thoroughbred Horsemen’s Association] has done a great job of helping us deal with it.”
Once the tunnel work is wrapped up, he said the next phase will consist of covering the underground pathway with the proper dirt for each course so that Belmont can resume normal activities in 2023.
Following that, once racing moves upstate to Saratoga Race Course in July for the 2023 meet, work on the courses should begin. Kozak said the order for working on the three existing tracks and adding the fourth one has yet to be determined. He said a schedule detailing what Belmont’s next steps will be are being prepared for the NYRA board.
“But with the tunnel in place, we can decide if we will work on putting in a fourth track first or redoing a turf or dirt course first,” he told BloodHorse. “To get four tracks done in a year’s time is unrealistic. We don’t want to lose a Belmont Stakes, so we are looking at the best scenario for phasing all of this to have the least amount of impact on the horsemen. There will be a tunnel to the grandstand, but that’s coming later. Our goal is to do the infrastructure work and get the turf courses back together and the main track back together so that we can have spring racing and training at Belmont.”
Once the surfaces are finished, the final phase, and the most meaningful one for fans, will get under way with the renovation of a grandstand and clubhouse structure with a length as long as the Empire State Building is tall.
For New York racing fans in their mid-60s and older, the construction at Belmont is resurrecting dusty memories of 1963-67, when the original Belmont Park was razed and a racetrack that first opened its doors in 1905 was remodeled to include a magnificent grandstand for the huge crowds that would stream into the building on a regular basis.
After the 1970 season, though, off-track wagering was introduced at Belmont Park and as it became increasingly popular, attendance began an ugly downward spiral. Now, more than half of the cavernous building is deserted on most days, and NYRA officials understand the key to a successful future for New York racing is a consolidation of downstate racing at Belmont Park in a smaller, year-round facility with the modern amenities sports fans covet.
“When we right-size the building, our goal is to be able to have it set up like other venues, where we have the ability to expand it on big days but to also have it where it’s more efficient and with the right amenities on a daily basis,” Kozak said. “The key is to have something that is functional for the daily operation and have the ability to ramp up for events like the Belmont Stakes or the Stars and Stripes or [the time] when we’re able to get the Breeders’ Cup back.”
Attendees and exhibitors from across the globe are getting ready to make their way to ConExpo-Con/AGG and the International Fluid Power Exposition (IFPE) next March, after government and corporate travel restrictions have either been reduced or eliminated since the 2020 show.
With NorthAmerica having one of the largest construction industries in the world, exhibitors know ConExpoCon/AGG and IFPE are where their market is, and attendees know a greater number of exhibitors are bringing more, better technology to show than anywhere else.
“ConExpo-Con/AGG is the most visible expo in North America for our geospatial technology to be showcased. We’re inviting our worldwide dealer network to attend,” said Ray Weatherbee of Milan, Italy-based measurement and survey specialist Stonex.
“I would recommend exhibiting at ConExpo-Con/AGG to any manufacturer to display at any capacity. This is the Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bugatti of shows that you need to attend and display at.”
“The international audience for IFPE is significant,” said John Rozum, show director of IFPE. “These are the engineers, the product planners, the executives from OEMs all over the world. The fluid power and motion control technology on display at IFPE is what makes the construction equipment you see at ConExpo-Con/AGG work, and that doesn’t change regardless of where the product is made.”
Registration for the show opened in early August and the largest groups of international registrations are coming in from Canada, Australia, the UK, Mexico and New Zealand.
“In 2020, being able to present business opportunities about the Philippines at the International Lounge was a good ‘image building’ exercise for the country,” said Patrick Tan of Global-Link MP Events International, based just outside of Manila. “There were plenty of inquiries thereafter specially on the presentation of the Philippine Construction Industry Roadmap that will be implemented over the next 30 years.”
ConExpo-Con/AGG and IFPE also are bringing back the International Trade Center (ITC) to the 2023 show, to help exhibitors and attendees connect across oceans and languages.
“The ITC is a really useful resource for international salespeople like me,” said Matt McCormick, director of international sales at Minnesota-based Cimline. “Having an area with translators on call in a quiet environment where we can offer an overseas visitor hospitality is valuable. I also find the input and presentations from the staff at the ITC to be useful.”

Mayor Jim Cahill of New Brunswick, N.J., was thanking Gov. Phil Murphy and others on Sept. 23 for planning to invest $49 million for the modernization and expansion of his city’s train station when he was interrupted by the whoosh of a passing commuter train.
“Well-cued,” Cahill said, with a laugh.
The same thing could be said about the planned renovations considering that more than a billion dollars of nearby development projects are moving ahead faster than a locomotive and will likely bring thousands of new commuters to the city one day soon.
TAPinto New Brunswick reported that the train station upgrades, unveiled near the future site of the New Jersey Innovation and Technology Hub — known as “The Hub” — are to include extending and replacing well-worn passenger platforms and rehabbing bulky escalators and elevators.
The state funds also will go toward installing brighter and more energy-efficient lighting, upgrading heating and air conditioning systems, and making other improvements to the building, both internal and external, the community online news service noted.
Located at a critical point on NJ Transit’s
Northeast Corridor rail line, the significant investment in local economic development and passenger experience is just one piece of the $814 million the fiscal year 2023 state budget agreement is dedicating to rail station improvements through the Debt Defeasance and Prevention Fund.
The Middlesex County Improvement Authority (MCIA) plans to oversee the design, renovation, and construction of the station on behalf of the county and NJ Transit. In addition, the latter will provide technical assistance, procure and manage an engineering and design firm, retain construction services, and have review and approval rights throughout the project.
MCIAis currently preparing the scope for the project, TAPinto Brunswick noted, which will focus on enhancements to the station and customer experience.
For a train station built in 1903, when, as Murphy pointed out, Teddy Roosevelt was in the White House, it is about time that amenities and upgrades were to improve the passenger experience at the New Brunswick
station.
“This station has lived through New Brunswick’s ups and downs,” Murphy said. “It has witnessed the buildings around it being demolished and replaced, only to be demolished and replaced again. [It] helped New Brunswick earn its nickname as ‘The Hub City.’”
Overall, the terminal is in good shape considering its age, MCIA officials told Tapinto New Brunswick, but the time for a facelift is now, especially with the $665 million technology hub to be built across the street. The first phase of that project, which will include a 12-story, 560,000-sq.-ft. building filled with some of the region’s best academic and business minds, was approved by New Brunswick’s Planning Board in July.
Nearby, too, crews are building the Jack
and Sheryl Morris Cancer Center, New Jersey’s first freestanding cancer hospital. The $750 million, care and research center will encompass 12-stories and 519,000-sq.-ft. of space.
“You’ve recognized the potential of the New Jersey Innovation and Technology Hub and the importance of its central location here right in the heart of New Jersey, directly across from the city’s train station on the most traveled rail line in the entire United States,” Cahill said at the gathering of politicians and area leaders for the project’s announcement.
He was, of course, addressing Murphy, but also others attending the event such as Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone, from New Jersey’s Sixth District, Middlesex County Commissioner Director Ron Rios, and Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin, D-19th District.
“This is the next step in the New Brunswick renaissance,” Coughlin added.
“When I grew up in Middlesex County, New Brunswick didn’t have the greatest reputation. The truth of the matter is that’s totally different now. All you need to do is walk around New Brunswick to appreciate all the great things that have happened.”
Officials in New Jersey’s Camden County have announced that plans are being made for a trail bridge over the Cooper River catering specifically to bicyclists and pedestrians — the first of two new spans to cross the river and help connect the county’s local and regional trail system.
Jack Sworaski, director of the county’s Division of Environmental Affairs, told the Cherry Hill Courier-Post that the municipality recently was awarded a $1 million grant from the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT )to build a bridge over the Cooper, a tributary of the nearby Delaware River that parallels the heavily traveled U.S. Highway 30/Admiral Wilson Boulevard in Camden.
The Cooper River winds its way through Cooper River Park in Haddonfield, Cherry Hill and Pennsauken before reaching Gateway Park in Camden along Admiral Wilson Boulevard, a main entry road into Camden and to the Ben Franklin Bridge and PATCO Speedline over the Delaware River into Philadelphia.
The new 12-ft.-wide span will cross the Cooper River near the Speedway Gas station on Admiral Wilson Boulevard to Flanders Boulevard on the opposite side of the river close to the Campbell Soup Co. headquar-
ters and the Subaru office complex.
In addition, the first structure will be 236 ft. in length, have a clearance from the river at high tide of 10 ft., and parallel theAdmiral Wilson Boulevard span that already crosses over the river.
The Courier-Post noted that it is one link in a portion of the Camden County LINK Trail, which also has other unfinished segments. When completed, the trail will travel through 17 county municipalities between the Ben Franklin Bridge in Camden and the Pinelands National Reserve in Winslow Township.
“The bridge will be built to make access
to the trail system easier and safer and help to complete the LINK trail loop through the city,” explained Matthew Ludwig, senior engineer with NV5, a Philadelphia consulting engineering firm hired by the county to design the bridge.
County officials are optimistic the bridge will have a positive economic impact, generating $19.5 million in projected new tourism spending and serve as a benefit to local businesses and services.
Ludwig told the Cherry Hill news source that Camden County estimates construction on the pedestrian bridge will begin by the spring of 2023 and will require some night-
Discussions are ongoing about a second bridge that Camden County officials hope will come into better focus soon. It will be designed as an elevated crosswalk over U.S. 130 and will connect the county’s golf driving range and Cooper River Park at North Park Drive in Pennsauken. By elevating the pathway for hikers and bikers, the need for them to cross the heavily traveled highway at crosswalks will be eliminated.
Ahearing on the bridge, a larger undertaking that has already been awarded a $3.2 million state grant, will be held in 2023, although no date has been set. The elevated crosswalk also needs approval from the historic preservation office within the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, according to Sworaski.
When each are built, the two proposed pedestrian bridges will join Camden County’s popular Cuthbert Boulevard bridge farther upriver in Cooper River Park connecting Cherry Hill with Collingswood. That structure already has walkways that are used by bicyclists and pedestrians.
“The bridge will be built to make access to the trail system easier and safer and help to complete the LINK trail loop through the city.”

Plans are being finalized for Habitat for Humanity of South CentralJersey(SCNJ)tosoonbegin construction on 10 new affordable housing units for Bordentown Township, south of Trenton.
The new development will be constructed on Thorntown and Crosswicks Road, according to Bordentown Township Administrator Michael Theokas.
CentralJersey.com, a regional New Jersey online news service, noted Sept. 13 that as part of the town’s affordable housing policy with the state and Burlington County, the community struck a partnership deal with Habitat SCNJ more than a year ago to create affordable housing units for present and future Bordentown residents.
Township officials later identified Thorntown Lane and Crosswicks Road as a possible corridor to utilize for its affordable housing operation and bought three proper ties that were on sale in the area. Bordentown then demolished those proper ties to create land space that Habitat for Humanity now owns.
Theokas told the news outlet that the township has worked “hand and glove” with HabitatSCNJthroughouttheprocesstohelp the organization create a plan to build five duplex buildings, providing a total of 10 homes for prospective families.
“TheTownshipCommitteeisreallyproud andhappytohavepartneredwithHabitatfor Humanity,” he said. “[We are] very commit ted and focused on the inclusion of afford able housing and helping families own their own homes. We also look forward to bring ing in 10 families to our community.”
To be known as the “Bordentown Residential Development,” half of the homes will be for low-income families, with the five units going to families that are con sidered to have a moderate-income.
Each of the five duplex buildings will be two-story modular homes with three bed roomsandoneandahalfbathroomsandwill include a pocket park for families of three to six people, CentralJersey.com noted.
HabitatSCNJChiefDevelopmentOfficer
Annie Fox said the Bordentown Residential Development is, to date, the “biggest” proj ect that the organization has built.
“We build homes all over that are afford able to owners and do not exceed 30 percent of their monthly income,” she explained. “Bordentown Township has been a great
town to partner with. [It] has been very receptive to [building these affordable homes].”
Habitat SCNJ received applications for the Bordentown Residential Development until the end of September, Fox said, adding that potential families must have met three criteria to be considered for placement:
ï Provide verification that their current housing is overcrowded, unaffordable, dan gerous, unhealthy, temporary or otherwise substandard.
ï Meet the required financial categories as a household and be able to pay the monthly fees during their duration in the home.
ï Possess a willingness to work with Habitat for Humanity SCNJ and volunteer sweat-equity hours toward their home.
“We want hard working families that are willingtoputthetimeintogettheextrahelp they need [to own their home],” explained Fox. “We’re not giving these houses to peo ple for free.”
All eligibility requirements are available under theAffordable Housing section on the Bordentown Township’s website, Theokas added.
As construction of the new Bordentown Residential Development nears, he said the township expects many volunteers from his community and local municipalities to help aid Habitat SCNJ with completing the con struction of the affordable housing units.
“Things are really moving. We’re very excited,” he said.
Habitat SCNJ is an independent affiliate ofHabitatforHumanityInternational,which operates through local affiliates to ensure that all functions of the organization have maximum relevance and impact on individ ual communities.
In January, the affiliate changed its name to reflect its expanded service area, which covers Burlington, Mercer, Atlantic and parts of Middlesex counties.

The last stages of the installa tion of a temporary replacement for a West Virginia bridge that was closed for safety reasons was planned to begin the first week of October, according to an announcement from the state Department of Transportation (WVDOT).
The old Laneville Bridge was demolished in September and cut intopiecesforremoval,WDTVin Bridgeport, W. Va., reported Sept. 27.
Located in the rugged Alleghany Mountains within the state’s north-central region, the structure gave drivers access to the small unincorporated commu nity of Laneville in Tucker County.
Both the old bridge and the temporary bridge spans Red Creek (a tributary of Dry ForkofCheatRiver)alongthesouthernbor der of the Dolly Sods Wilderness in the Monongahela National Forest.
The roadway and bridge over scenic Red Creek also led motorists to the Red Creek trailhead and is a key connection to the rural counties of Randolph, Grant and Tucker.
TheUnitedStatesForestServicebuiltand maintained the Laneville Bridge, but it is on a road supported by the state. Safety issues on the structure were discovered during a routine inspection on July 26, causing the bridge to be blocked to traffic.
The West Virginia Department of Highways (DOH), a division of the WVDOT,hasagreedtodesignandconstruct a permanent structure downstream of the
existing span at a later date. The Forest Service intends to pay for the new bridge with funds from the Great American Outdoors Act, state officials told West Virginia Daily News.
In the meantime, an $800,000 contract was awarded to A.L.L. Construction Inc.,
from nearby Mount Storm, W. Va., to both remove the demol ished bridge and complete the replacement project, Forest Service officials said. The federal agency hopes to open the tempo rary bridge to traffic on Nov. 1. Now that work has ramped up on the interim bridge, cranes could be seen recently lifting a span of the structure over Red Creek.
DOH warns people driving in the area that heavy construction traffic on Forest Road 19 as well as increased truck traffic on the west side of the bridge of Laneville Road will be ever pres ent until November. Visitor park ing will be scarce on the span’s west side, and construction equipment will come and go on both sides of the bridge, the West Virginia Daily News reported.
Unfortunately for folks wanting to visit Dolly Sods Wilderness via Laneville to enjoy the October peak leaf season, the U.S. Forest Service is asking them to avoid the construction zone at the Laneville Bridge site.Otherdriversmaydosoonlywhennec essary.

to the task force.
“In addition to federal procurement, Buy Clean will cover federally-funded projects,” said the task force.
The group pointed out that last year’s infrastructure spending law included funds for GSA, Transportation and EPA to “designate and use construction materials and products that produce substantially lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions.”
It also noted that the recently enacted Inflation Reduction Act provides funding for retrofitting industrial facilities and tax credits for clean technology manufacturing.
“The federal government is for the first time providing a market differentiation and incentives for lower-carbon materials,” said the task force. “Companies across the nation will be rewarded for cutting carbon pollution across their entire value chains while supporting good American manufacturing jobs.”
More than a dozen agencies that account for nine-tenths of federally-financed and purchased construction materials comprise the task force.
In the future, the group will continue to launch pilots, expand the scope of industrial pollutants and materials, engage industry and establish mechanisms for collection and public disclosure of the data.
In March, the General ServicesAdministration (GSA) issued new standards for the concrete and asphalt used in nationwide GSA construction, modernization and paving projects.
These were the first standards in the United States to apply beyond a local jurisdiction.
So far, seven Bipartisan Infrastructure Law-funded paving projects have been completed using the new asphalt standards.
All of these projects were awarded to and completed by small or disadvantaged businesses, said GSA.
“The historic passage of the Inflation Reduction Act provides a boost to these efforts with $3.375 billion that will allow GSA to invest in federal buildings with lower-carbon materials and sustainable technologies,” said the agency.
It also will allow for the leveraging of emerging clean technologies that help achieve greater carbon reductions and catalyze American innovation.
“These investments help boost the competitiveness of American manufacturers developing sustainable materials and technologies,” said GSA.
“Using domestic, lower-carbon construction materials is a triple win — creating good-paying American jobs, reducing energy costs and tackling climate change,” said GSA Administrator Robin Carnahan. “At GSA, we’ve already started deploying standards that help reduce emissions and advance sustainable projects with little to no additional cost — while supporting small businesses along the way.”
Under GSA’s concrete and asphalt standards, construction contractors are required to provide a product-specific cradleto-gate Type III environmental product declaration (EPD).
An EPD is a third-party-verified summary of the primary environmental impacts associated with a product’s extrac-
tion, transportation and manufacture.
GSA’s asphalt standard requires at least two environmentally-preferable techniques or practices to be used during the material’s manufacture or installation.
These options include bio-based or alternative binders, recycled content and reduced mix temperatures. They are considered best practices that reduce fossil fuel use and environmental impacts.
Under GSA’s low embodied carbon concrete standard, according to FedWeek.com, contractors are asked to provide concrete that reflects a 20 percent reduction in the amount of “embodied carbon,” associated with its production.
GSA also will ask to hear directly from manufacturers, including small businesses, on the availability of construction material and products with lower embodied carbon.
Findings from that request for information will help the government understand industry trends and opportunities.
The investments are intended to reduce carbon emissions from the federal supply chain by millions of metric tons per year, save millions of dollars in energy costs and support GSA’s sustainability goals.
The White House explained that the Buy Clean Initiative is a part of President Biden’s economic plan to usher in a manufacturing boom in America.
The economic plan includes the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS and Science Act.
“The initiative ensures that federal financing and purchas-
ing power are creating good-paying jobs, protecting public health, enhancing American competitiveness and strengthening national security,” said the White House. “Today’s Federal Buy Clean actions build on Buy Clean commitments made earlier this year.”
Those commitments include standing up the Federal Buy Clean Task Force, and complements Biden’s comeback for American factories, which represents 668,000 added manufacturing jobs.
“The federal government is the largest direct purchaser in the world and a major infrastructure funder,” said the White House. “By leveraging the U.S. government’s purchasing power, President Biden is ensuring that American manufacturing is positioned to compete and lead, while catalyzing markets and accelerating innovation across the country.”
The Inflation ReductionAct boosts the Federal Buy Clean Initiative with $4.5 billion in funding for GSA, DOT and EPA to use construction materials and products that substantially lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The Inflation Reduction Act also provides the DOE with billions to invest in retrofitting industrial facilities and tax credits for clean technology manufacturing.
Through the Federal Buy Clean Initiative and Task Force, the federal government is for the first time providing a market differentiation and incentives for lower-carbon materials.

Howard University in Washington, D.C., announced Sept. 20 that it is partnering with three development companies to construct a sparkling mixed-use building next to its main campus inWashington, D.C.’s historic Shaw neighborhood.
The plan is the latest real estate initiative in the university’s Campus Master Plan, according to The Dig, Howard’s news serv ice.
The college is working in cooperation with Lowe, a leading national real estate investment, development and management firm in LosAngeles; FLGA, a Washingtonarea minority developer; and D.C.-based firm Davenport Group.
Howard and its partners will transform the 1.85-acre site, currently used as parking lots for the university, into a 10-story build ing with up to 500 residential units, 27,000 sq. ft. of retail and 246 below-grade parking spaces, including amenities for Howard’s community members.
“We are thrilled to partner with another best-in-class team that will build on the momentum of our Campus Master Plan,” said university President Wayne A. I. Frederick. “This project will deliver muchneeded housing and retail space that will serve Howard students, faculty, staff and visitors,aswellasourneighborsinthecom munity. Through this initiative, we are proud to support the district’s goal of build ing 36,000 new homes by 2025 to combat rising housing costs.”
In a statement, Lowe’s Executive Vice President Mark Rivers added, “Our team is working closely with Howard University to develop and execute plans and programs for the parcel that are consistent with the uni versity’smissiontobeasupportiveresource for and contributor to the surrounding com munity, with an emphasis on diversity and inclusivity.Thisincludesarobustsetofmis sion-orientedobjectivestoprovideexposure and opportunities for Howard students to careers in real estate, architecture, engineer ing and hospitality management as well as opportunities for minority-owned firms to participate in the development of the proj ect.”
This mixed-use project — along with others Howard is delivering with its devel opment partners in the vicinity — fulfills and expands on the vision for the Howard Town Center Area Sub-District outlined in the District of Columbia’s DUKE Framework, a plan to restore the historic community as a cultural destination, The
Dig noted Sept. 20.
Howard is currently referring to this area astheDukeDistrict,anodtotheframework and the neighborhood’s past as the heart of an important economic, cultural, social and institutional center of a proud and accom plishedAfricanAmerican community, most of which was affiliated with Howard University and its hospital.
In addition, the new effort will build on Howard’s reintegration of the historic street grid by featuring a public plaza along the future extension of W Street.
“This project is another example of Howard’s strategy to utilize long-term ground lease structures that preserve the institution’s real estate portfolio while allowing it to reinvest in its academic facil ities,” explained Anthony Freeman, a real estate executive and head of Real Estate Development and Capital Asset Management (REDCAM) at Howard.
Freeman noted that per the Howard Forward strategic plan, the institution is planningtodeliveroverthreemillionsquare feetofdevelopmentintheDukeDistrictand create “a vibrant, connected neighborhood” while building on the momentum of Howard’s other nearby projects.

The Dig reported that the university has assembled a dedicated team of industry leaders in real estate, finance and law to further the initia tive, including Hayat Brown and Lerch Early & Brewer.
The Lowe-led team is undertaking the development in collaboration with USAA Real Estate, with which Lowe also devel oped the recently completed Park + Ford apartment and office property, and the National Science Foundation, both in Alexandria, Va.
Construction on Howard’s new mixeduse facility is projected to commence in the fall of 2023.
Founded in 1867, Howard University is a private, research university made up of 14 schools and colleges. Students pursue more than 140 programs of study leading to undergraduate, graduate and professional degrees. The university has produced one Schwarzman Scholar, three Marshall Scholars, four Rhodes Scholars, 12 Truman Scholars, 25 Pickering Fellows and more than 165 Fulbright recipients.
It also produces more on-campusAfrican American Ph.D. recipients than any other university in the United States.
A formal groundbreaking cere mony took place at the U.S. Army’s Fort Drum installation in northwestern New York State ear lier in September, marking the beginning of the construction on $31.5 million in improvements to the military railhead found at the base.

The U.S. Army has experienced issues at railheads in recent years that lacked the latest improvements to its facili ties, according to the USACE news release.
Forexample,aJanuary2019peacetimedeploymentillus trated that very point when soldiers with the 1st Brigade CombatTeam,10thMountainDivision,werelaunchingload operations for deployment to the Joint Readiness Training Center in Fort Polk, La., when unusual weather conditions for the Deep South set in. Three feet of snow, blizzard con ditions, and wind chills of minus 30 degrees hampered oper ations and created dangerous conditions for soldiers han dling heavy equipment.
Alocal news story published shortly thereafter recounted theArmy’s difficulties:
“On top of everything, we had a problem with guys stay ing warm,” said Sgt. 1st Class Charles Kohut, platoon ser geant for 3rd Platoon, D Company, 1-87 Infantry. “They’re on top of those trucks in minus-degree winds, gloves getting soaked from snow and ice.

Fort Drum is situated close to the Canadian border where harsh winters are common. The military installation is a sprawling facility encompassing 107,000 acres, employing 4,700 civilians, and training some 80,000 troops each year withnearly20,000Armysoldiersandtheirfamiliesstationed there.

Volvo Construction Equipment has created an online tool that allows customers to “build and price” their ideal electric compact excavatorandwheelloader,mark ing the company’s latest advance mentsinbothe-commerceandthe introduction of electric construc tion equipment to the market.
Initially available in North America and Norway, the tool on the Volvo CE website lets users configure any of the electric com pact machines in Volvo’s lineup with the features they want and see the suggested retail price.
“Construction equipment cus tomers do a lot of research online already, and our configurator tool puts even more information at their fingertips,” said Jefferson Yin, director of new business models and commercial intelli gence, Volvo CE.
Since Volvo CE first opened pre-booking for its electric machines in 2020, customers have been able to reserve a machine online. Now, they also can configure their machine and instantly see the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP).
“We’re especially happy we can give them a price estimate because that’s something other brands aren’t doing. Customers will continue to be supported by their localVolvo CE deal er during the sales process and with ongoing support after their purchase.”
Since Volvo CE first opened prebooking for its electric machines in 2020, customers have been able to reserve a machine online. Now, they also can configure their machine and instantly see the manufacturer’s sug gested retail price (MSRP).
The configurator tool will walk them through these options:
ï Package — There will be pre-built configuration packages to choose from: each with options tailored to different applications and customer needs.
Initially available in North America and Norway, the tool on the Volvo CE website lets users configure any of the electric compact machines in Volvo’s lineup with the features they want and see the suggested retail price.
ï Canopy or cab — The ECR25 Electric compact excavator includes a choice of canopy or cab. That option also will exist for the EC18 and ECR18 Electric compact excavators this fall (these are available for reservation now for a 2023 delivery). The L20 and L25 Electric compact wheel loaders come with a cab.
ïAttachments—Commonattachmentswillbeavailable to select, and a dealer will follow up on any special attach ments that may be needed.
ï Chargers — U.S. customers will have two options to choosefrom:standardandhigh-poweredchargers.Canadian customerswillbeabletopurchaseastandard600-voltcharg er.
Ultimately, the customer will see a price estimate (MSRP). Their information will go to a Volvo CE dealer in their area who will respond within 48 hours, providing more
detailed pricing and offering all the support and information they typically get from a dealer, such as an opportunity to demo the machine and financing options from Volvo Financial Services.
“This is the next step in our electromobility journey and digital transformation,” said Yin. “The goals are to improve the customer experience, provide an easy understanding of our industry-leading electromobility offering and ensure a seamless sales experience.”

In accordance with local zoning regulations, three walls of the original 2,800-sq.-ft. home in Newton, Mass., had to remain intact so that an expanded 6,000-sq.-ft. home could be built.
Edoardo and Carlo Fragale are very proud of their company’s rich heritage.
Their father, Paul Fragale, emigrated from Italy in 1964. He established Fragale Building Corporation in 1971 and incorporated the company in 1992.
When Paul founded the company, it had a primary focus on the masonry trade, which he had learned from his father, Paolo Fragale, in his hometown of Calabria, Italy. During the company’s humble beginnings, Paul would work doing construction during the days and then as a dishwasher at night. Edoardo and Carlo joined their father’s company after completing their college educations.
Most of the work that the company does falls primarily into one of two categories: masonry or excavation. Edoardo focuses his energies on the masonry side of the company while Carlo focuses on the excavation and civil side of the business. The vast majority of the company’s work is in the metro Boston area, and for the past decade or so, much of their work has been in the building segment of the market.
Today, Fragale Building Corporation has diversified its business supplying services at every phase of the building process, adding construction management services, excavation, landscape design and a sister company — Eastern Mass Crushing — which does custom mobile crushing and
The three remaining sides of the original home were jacked up and the original basement of 7.5 ft. was excavated to 10 ft. The new residential area also will have a 10-ft. basement ceiling.
One of the workhorses recently purchased from Equipment East is a Doosan DX63.
recycling. They operate today with 20 to 25 employees.
Fragale recently worked on a project located in an upscale historical community in Newton, Mass. Because the homes in the community are deemed historical, building a new home is virtually impossible and reconditioning an existing home is uniquely regulated. In this particular case, a home that was built in the 1800s has been completely torn down except for the bare structure of three original walls and the original roof line. The local zoning rules dictate that you leave three original walls in place but you can do virtually anything you want building and expanding off the home’s original footprint.
In the case of this home, an addition is being added to the side of the home, along with a lower-level garage. The structure that was originally approximately 2,800 sq. ft. will exceed 6,000 sq. ft. when completed.
Fragale Building’s responsibilities on this project include all the site work, foundation work, civil engineering work, water and sewer drainage and the construction of a pool house for the swimming pool that will be a part of the completed project, along with all the hardscape work.
The terrain of the property has a downhill grade from front to back. The original basement of the home was 7-1/2-ft. Fragale has excavated out the original basement and

Most of the earthmoving equipment fleet owned by Fragale Building is made up of Doosan machines purchased from Equipment East. “We started working with Dan Clifford at Equipment East early on when we first started looking at expanding our excavating business,” Carlo Fragale said. “Dan actually showed up at one of our projects; his timing was perfect, and he got us to try a Doosan DX225 excavator.”
“We were thrilled with that machine and soon after we asked him to send us a DX235 zero tailswing machine that we purchased shortly after,” Carlo added. “Transitioning to doing business with a smaller dealership and theDoosanproductlinewasinitiallyatough sell for my dad. He had always done busi nesswith‘thebigguys.’ Danarrangedforus to meet the owner of Equipment East, Giovanni Albanese, and that made a differ
“Doing business together, one small busi ness owner with another small business owner who was fully vested in our success just made a difference. Doosan also does a tremendousjobputtingtogetherthefinancial packages to make the financing work for us.
“Every time we have shopped the financ ing, Doosan has been much better than any one else’s. Specifically, great lease programs with great buyouts at the end of the lease.
Currently, we own Doosan DX235, DX225, DX140, DX85 and DX63 excavators. We also own two Doosan DL220 loaders.”
In addition to the Doosan equipment, Fragale Building has purchased a Wacker Neuson tracked loader, two Wacker Neuson rollers and three Ramfos hammers from Equipment East.
“Oncewemadethedecisiontogrowwith Equipment East, we really have never looked back,” Carlo said. “Our business has experienced tremendous growth and we have watched their business grow from a single location to three locations. I know when I pick up the phone and need them, they are almost immediately here. As an example, we were working on a project at Endicott College, and we had a machine blow a pressure relief valve. I put a call in to Dan and literally within 45 minutes they wereonoursitewiththepartweneeded,and we were back to work shortly thereafter.”

Sammy Petrowsky, well-known in New England as the founder and president of Sammy P Auction Services, has wanted to get into the aggregate business for some time; in 2020, the right opportunity came along for him to make his move.
Petrowsky found the right property located at Millbrook Road, Plainfield, Conn., and he found the right individual to
run his operation, Richard Cheney, who has decades of experience in construction equipment and aggregate production.
The company was named Sammy P Inc.
The next step called for putting together the right spread of aggregate processing equipment to maximize efficiency and production levels. Several different aggregate plants were brought into the site in a search to find what setup
would be ideal for the type of aggregate, the conditions at Millbrook Road, and the type of product whose goal it was to produce, namely a high-quality sand for asphalt production.
In came Graham Wylie with the new Titan model 2300 from Powerscreen New England. The Titan 2300 was so new that the plant that ended up in the Sammy P Inc. plant was the first of its kind to ever arrive in the United States.
Powerscreen is among the world’s leading providers of
Another key element to the high production levels of the Titan 2300 is the 60-in. primary conveyor that moves materials from the screen deck, the largest of its type in the industry.
A series of tracked conveyors stockpile materials throughout the site.

The Titan 2300 is a completely new machine to Powerscreen in terms of concept and design. The massive 64 -in. oversized belt feeder, which moves material from the 6- by 20-ft. deck immediately gave Sammy P’s operation significantly higher production levels. Powerscreen of New England had promised an increase of production of at least 50 percent. In fact, the production levels increased significantly more, which also resulted in an over 50 percent cut in fuel consumption.
“The new Titan plant had the same engine, thus the same fuel consumption as our old plant, thus the direct savings in fuel cost versus production,” Cheney

said. “Our production levels increased, and our fuel consumption stayed the same. It was a win all the way around.
“The screening deck on our previous screener was 5 by 16. The difference between the 5 by 16 and the 6 by 20 on the Titan 2300 was astounding,” Cheney added. “ We see even additional fuel savings with the number of cycles the excavator has to make to feed the hopper and the number of trips the loader has to make to carry away materials.
“We finally have our excavators and loaders paired up with the right size plant. Under the right conditions with dry material, we can open up the hopper extensions on the Titan and increase our production levels even more.”
“What’s really ideal about this machine is that the 60-inch screen conveyor to the screening deck is perfectly paired to handle the volume going into the hopper and the screens in the lower deck are perfectly paired to handle the volume coming from the upper deck,” Petrowsky added. “So, you can really maximize your production levels.”
According to Cheney, “Depending on type of material, before the Titan their plants were producing 750 ton of sand in an 8-hour day compared to their current production levels of 1,250 ton plus in a typical 8-hour day. With a hopper capacity of 14 yards the ability to increase production levels was immediate and substantial.”
The Titan 2300 is primarily producing three products, most importantly a dry screened sand that is Connecticut DOT approved for direct asphalt use. They also produce a 11/2 (+/-) in. stone and an 8-in. to 2-in. minus gravel. The 8in. to 2-in. minus gravel is sold in bulk for re-crushing for many other uses.
According to Cheney, “It’s quite plausible that the Titan could hit significantly higher production levels, perhaps as high as 200 to 250 tons per hour of sand if the material fed was less rocky. Unfortunately, their sand condition is quite stony and is always going to limit the production levels. Because the new machine has 42-inch side conveyors, the plant is now capable of handling much larger volumes of rock.The term for our type of sand is bony and bony material takes longer to process.
Wylie added “When I evaluated Sammy P’s situation one of the challenges I identified was precisely the amount of stone in his sand, and the width of his conveyors on the existing plant. His existing plant had 35-inch and 55-inch stone conveyors, and they were running at full capacity. My research showed that the Titan machine had stone conveyors measuring 42 inch and 64 inch with twin drive. Therefore, the Titan machine would be able to process a much greater volume of sand for Sammy Pbecause it could handle removing a greater volume of stone.”
Cheney continued “There were a lot of factors in determining what plant to buy. This decision was relatively easy. The Titan was by far the best engineered plant to handle the type of material we are processing and to achieve the spec we are looking for.”
“We’ve known Seamus Sheelan, president of Powerscreen New England, and Graham Wylie, his sales rep, for a long time. Certainly, more than 20 years. So, I was confident I was dealing with people who are stable, who have a great reputation, and were going to be here when I need them,” Petrowsky concluded.

From towering sand dunes and refreshing lakes to forested retreats and cool caverns, Oklahoma’s state parks are ready to whisk adventurers away on great outdoor experiences.
Whether lacing up a pair of hiking boots or looking for some relaxing fun in the sun, the scenic beauty of these varied ecoregions and impressive natural resources is sure to provide breathtaking moments. But how exactly do these environments remain so picturesque?
Enter Josh Baker, a forestry technician with one of the Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews. Baker and his colleagues utilize two of Diamond Mowers’SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.
“Our experience with these disc mulchers has been exceptional,” said Baker. “They have impressed us with their ability to maintain and elevate the look of our state parks and are well-constructed to take the abuse that forestry work puts our equipment through.”
Before purchasing their Diamond Mowers disc mulchers, Baker and his team were limited to cutting everything they encountered by hand. Then they realize Diamond attachments were ideal for use in rural environments — the versatile 60 in. attachments can cut through trees as large as 14 in. in diameter and continuously mulch material up to 6 in. in diameter.
Four-point hardened steel teeth inside the deck shell act like axe blades to slice though broken branches and trees, while their aggressive design effectively grabs and pulls in material for processing.
“The mulchers are quite easy to use and have become a huge asset to our fleet,”
The Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews utilize two of Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.
added Baker. “They attach to our CTLs quickly and easily, and after watching a few tutorial videos on proper operating techniques, they were a breeze to get the hang of.”
Baker noted that the difference between what the mulchers do compared to cutting everything by hand is “unmatched.” Between land clearing, site preparation, forestry management and even storm and disaster cleanup, the Disc Mulcher Pro X’s versatility has proven to be a key ally for tackling a variety of applications.
The SK Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in two sizes: a 48 in. unit optimal for smaller skid-steers operating in compact spaces, and a 60 in. unit ideal for tackling projects in open, rural areas where there’s a need to clear large areas quickly. It is available with three motor options and is compatible with both standard and high-flow hydraulic machines.
When asked about the value and cost of the disc mulchers, Baker reiterated how important they’ve been to him and his team.
“The design of the attachments and their ease of operation has allowed us to increase efficiency like never before. If I were in the market for a mulcher, I’d purchase this one and be extremely happy,” said Baker.
Diamond Mowers offers a wide range of specialized cutting attachments compatible with most tractor, skid-steer, wheel loader, and excavator brands.

Solving tough problems for its customers is important to SmithCo, and its team works with customers every step of the way to make sure they get what they need to do the job better.
That’s why when Kevin McGee of V McGee Inc. in Tennessee told SmithCo about his unique situation, sales manager Gerred Zeising dug in to develop a unique solution.
McGee needed a special set up for hauling coal ash (also called fly ash). Coal ash hauling is notoriously difficult and must adhere to special regulations.
V McGee Trucking had been using end dump trailers for these loads but started to think seriously about side dump trailers. It did not want the possibility of the end gate opening and leaving ash on the highway. This is especially important because any leak of fly ash during transport can lead to large fines and other penalties.
“I’d been using end dump trailers, but I needed something safer and more reliable for hauling fly
SmithCo helped V McGee design and build a quad-axle box truck, which was outside of its normal scope.
ash,” said McGee. “SmithCo helped me design and build a quad-axle box truck, which was outside of their normal scope. We designed a configuration that was able to do big hauls without a lot of extra weight in the trailer.”
The SmithCo engineering team collaborated with Zeising and McGee and designed the right setup for the job, a custom SHV-style truckmounted bodies on a quad axle. This setup met
McGee’s load hauling needs (about 80k pounds) without adding too much extra weight from the trailer itself.
The result? V McGee can now haul more loads of coal ash with more efficiency and less risk.
“The team at SmithCo was great from start to finish. The job wouldn’t be possible without these trailers,” McGee said.

Volvo Trucks North America announced a new program to provide streamlined access to electric vehicle (EV) charging offerings for dealers and fleet customers.
The Vendor Direct Shipping program provides customers the opportunity to procure mobile and fixed charging hardware solutions directly fromVolvoTrucks dealers when they purchase Volvo VNR Electric trucks.
“The Vendor Direct Shipping program is a simple and effective method of ordering charging hardware for customers purchasing VNR Electric trucks. The Volvo Trucks dealer will be able to log in to the parts portal and order chargers just as they would to order any truck part,” said Peter Voorhoeve, president, Volvo Trucks North America.
“As we’ve said from the beginning, the purchase of a VNR Electric is more than just a truck, it’s a total transportation solution and providing our customers with reliable charging hardware is a key pillar in that process.”
Beginning this October, customers will have the opportunity to purchase charging hardware when they purchase a Volvo VNR Electric truck. Customers will have two chargers from Heliox to choose from initially: a 50kWMobile DC Fast Charger (Single
Port CCS1) or a 180kW Flex DC Fast Charger (up to three CCS-1 dispensers). Volvo Trucks will continue to expand its offerings and partners as more and more fleets begin to adopt battery-electric trucks.
Customers participating in the program also can work with participating vendors to develop tailored and scalable infrastructure to ensure the battery-electric trucks are being charged up efficiently while making the best use of available power. Heliox is the first provider to participate and has a team of EV charging experts and partners to ensure the entire project goes smoothly, from delivery, setup, commissioning, testing, training, operations and beyond.
“Heliox is excited to mature our partnership with Volvo Trucks. After many great projects over the past year, this agreement will make it exponentially easier for Volvo Trucks dealers and end users to procure everything they need to kickstart their EV fleet projects,” said David Aspinwall, president, Heliox North America. “By giving them simplified access to our full portfolio of CCS-1 products, future e-mobility programs can now happen faster and with greater efficiency.”

SmithCo Side Dump Trailers mining side dump trailer with a fully dedicated hydraulic suspension system reduces issues for mines in cold climates and further enhances the advantages SmithCo side dump trailers offer to the mining industry.
Compared to conventional haul units, SmithCosidedumps,whichwereengineered by Simard Suspensions, offer lower ton-mile costs, a smaller footprint, less fuel use and many other benefits, the company said.
“SmithCoishelpingtotransformthemining industry and this is another example of how SmithCo is at the forefront of hauling innovations,” said Scott Lovell, SmithCo president and CEO. “We’re always pushing ourselves and our partners to offer more capabilities for our customers.”
The advantages of side dumps with
hydraulic suspensions for the mining industry are many. The Simard suspension system allows axle ends to move independently of one another to navigate washboard roads more easily, reducing wear and tear and improving stability.
A trailer with this system allows optimal axle load distribution whether fully loaded, partially loaded, or empty. It offers automatic transverse leveling before dumping and semi-active roll stabilization. The hydraulic
system also eliminates the need for replacing air springs, shocks or trailing arms, which cuts down on maintenance and downtime. For mining operations in Arctic conditions, the hydraulic system eliminates the risk of air freeze-up issues.
Mine operations around the world are discovering the advantages of hauling with custom SmithCo side dump trailers instead of conventional haul trucks. The smaller footprint of the tractor-trailer combo improves the feasibility of opening satellite mines.
Ton-mile costs are further lowered with less fuel use, less tire wear and less expensive tires, more easily serviceable parts and more uptime. Side dumps can dump their loads over barriers, berms or into crusher chutes and deliver payloads up to 200 tons when trained together, making them a nimble competitor to conventional mining trucks.
“We don’t know of any trailer that’s been built like this, and we’re eager to show what’s new and what’s next for mining trailers,” said Lovell.

The trailer business previously known as Fontaine Heavy-Haul is now Fontaine Specialized.
“In order to meet the evolving and ever challenging needs of our customer base, our product line will continue to expand beyond traditional heavy-haul trailers,” explained Todd Anderson, president of Fontaine Specialized.
“Over the last several years we have expanded our Xcalibur extendable flatbed and dropdeck models, introduced the Traverse hydraulic tail models, created a new line of Workhorse lowbed models and added several new Magnitude heavy-haul models. We believe our name should reflect our entire product lineup, and our dealer network is very supportive of re-branding the business as Fontaine Specialized.”
“We’ve heard from many of our most respected dealers, and the feedback for this change is very positive,” remarked Heather Gilmer, VP sales. “The name change in a way is a ‘Back to the Future’ move for our company as we were previously ‘Fontaine Specialized’from 1993 to 2009. In fact, many of our seasoned customers continued to refer to our trailers as ‘Fontaine Specialized’even under the Heavy-Haul brand.
“Our tradition of industry leading innovation and unmatched customer support will most certainly continue under the Fontaine Specialized name,” she added.

Hilltip is offering its IceStriker combi spreaders in a 6 cu. yd. capacity, 12-in. pintle chain-drive unit. The 6000CM model is the largest Hilltip model available in the North American market.
Along with this size, Hilltip is adding chain-driven options for all other IceStriker combi spreaders, including the 2000, 2800, 3400 and 4200 models. Previously, these models were only offered as auger-driven machines.
Hilltip is expanding the option to meet the preferences of all winter care professionals. The new 6000 model will only be offered in the chain-driven system at this time. Customers can expect all chain-driven models to be available for the 2021/2022 season.
Designed for ½-ton trucks and larger, the electricpowered IceStriker spreaders (12- or 24-volt dual motors) are now available in capacities of 2.0, 2.8, 3.4, 4.2 and 6.0 cu. yds. They not only offer the ability to spread granular salt, sand and gravel, but also can be transformed into a liquid deicing sprayer — either prewetting material as it’s spread or directly spraying brine to the driving surface for anti-icing applications.
Every IceStriker spreader features liquid tanks integrated into both sides of the double-walled poly hopper, which hold up to 220 gal. of liquid. By simply adding the optional pre-wet liquid kit, which includes a pump and spray nozzle, an operator can pre-wet spreading materials to help activate the salt as it’s spread and to reduce material bounce.
Furthermore, by adding the optional 6-ft. 7-in. dual spraybar, an operator can now spray brine directly onto the driving surface with a maximum 16-ft. spraying width. This makes the spreaders ideal for all operations, whether they are just getting into liquid applications or are well experienced in brine.
The addition of a 40-ft. hose reel and hand-held spray nozzle allows for easier spraying in hard-to-reach areas, such as on sidewalks and steps. Also, an optional bladder tank increases the unit’s overall brine capacity to 550 gal.
All spreader and sprayer functions are operated using the advanced StrikeSmart controller. Featuring a detailed color
The controller also automatically collects and saves essential data. Logging data 24 hours a day, seven days a week, this feature provides operators with spreading reports that can reduce potential liability issues. Accessory buttons are built into the controller, making the actuation of any standard or optional accessories simple.
Another exclusive ability with the advanced controller is the optional adjustable spreading symmetry function. Typically only found on larger truck spreaders, this feature allows the operator to adjust the direction of material off of the spinner from the cab-mounted control. This is ideal when working in parking lots or when working on properties adjacent to other businesses, so the operator can ensure that material is only being directed onto a paying customer’s property and away from vehicles.
An easy-to-understand graphic indicates the current direction of the material, which can be easily adjusted with the integrated dial.
For maximum control and observation of an equipment
Designed for ½-ton trucks and larger, the electric-powered volt dual motors) are now availableincapacitiesof2.0,
rates to be remotely set and adjusted for each customer’s site, depending on weather conditions.
Other standard equipment on the IceStriker combi spreader includes a sealed, weather-resistant motor enclosure, automatic vibrator, integrated tie-down loops, top screen and pre-routed accessory wire for simplified light/rear camera installation. Auger models include an inverted-V structure over the auger drive to reduce heavy start-up loads on the feed mechanism.
Additional accessory options include an LED work light, strobe lights, illuminated license plate kit, rear and indicator lights, leg stand for more convenient storage/installation, end material alarm sensor on the spinner, tarp cover and an extended auger for axle loading optimization. One also can choose to get the hopper in orange instead of the standard gray color.

supporting good American manufacturing jobs,” said the White House.
In addition to prioritizing the purchase of steel, concrete, asphalt and flat glass, the federal government will purchase these materials when they have fewer emissions.
The Biden Administration anticipates prioritizing additional construction materials and pollutants for Buy Clean Federal procurement.
The administration will expand lower-carbon construction materials used in federallyfunded projects.
In addition to federal procurement, Buy Clean will also cover federally-funded projects.
The initiative will jumpstart a new partnership between state governments and federal partners to align state-based Buy Clean policies with federal incentives.
The incentives will expand markets for clean manufacturing and low carbon materials across the nation’s buildings and infrastructure.
Next month, the White House will convene states to share knowledge and build capacity for public construction projects that support American workers and lower carbon emissions, it said.
The initiative will increase data transparency through supplier reporting to help American manufacturers track and reduce emissions.
The administration plans to expand the reliability, transparency and verification of EPDs including GHG emissions reporting for actual supply chain production.
The initiative will launch pilot programs to advance federal procurement of clean construction materials.
“Federal Buy Clean Initiative pilots have already broken ground across the country — from Denver, Colorado, to Salt Lake City, Utah, to Champlain, New York, to Lukeville, Arizona — in partnership with regional contractors and subcontractors including engineering, architecture and materials firms, with technical support from DOE, EPA and USDA.”
Together, the expanded Task Force agencies account for 90 percent of all federally-financed and purchased construction materials.
The Department ofAgriculture is supporting innovations in construction materials made from sustainablyharvested and waste bio-materials
The goal is to integrate these materials into and potentially replace carbon-intensive materials. In grant program criteria, the DOT has incentivized the use of materials that reduce carbon emissions.
In June, the department’s chief sustainability officer launched a lower carbon procurement pilot to increase utilization of EPDs and encourage the acquisition of products and materials with low embodied carbon emissions.
In April 2022, FHWA issued a climate challenge to reduce the lifecycle emissions in the design, construction and maintenance of pavements. The challenge received 40 submissions from 25 states.
FHWA also launched a tool, known as LCA PAVE, that can be used to assess environmental impacts of pavement material and design decisions.
The department’s Embodied Carbon Working Group will support new efforts to ensure all of USDOT’s modal administrations are prioritizing Buy Clean.
The DOE is supporting Buy Clean with training, technical assistance and innovation grants.
The Building Technology Office is building tools for whole building lifecycle analysis. The Advanced Manufacturing Office is supporting with tools to support
standard-setting for specific products. The DOD and the military departments are analyzing modernization requirements for process, guidance, criteria and specifications to accelerate the transition to low-carbon building materials.
“This includes screening potential projects to implement Buy Clean specifications,” said the White House.
It also involves coordinating with U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory and Construction Engineering Research Laboratory to analyze the lifecycle carbon footprint, costs, resilience and timeliness of low-carbon building materials.
The EPA is emphasizing the urgency of investing in energy efficiency across manufacturing facilities with access to the ENERGY STAR program. It will integrate energy performance benchmarking tools and enable facility-level industrial carbon emissions via facility benchmarking data. EPA also is working with external partners to standardize and improve EPDs guidelines.
GSA will require suppliers to provide environmental product declarations and meet low-carbon concrete and environmentally preferable asphalt standards informed by insights from industry.
The Department of State and U.S. Special Presidential Envoy for Climate are aggregating corporate purchasing commitments of near- and net-zero materials through the First Movers Coalition.
The department also has launched a decarbonization initiative, focused on reducing embodied emissions in overseas construction at embassies and other facilities.

challenges of having to maintain two lanes of traffic and access to all adjacent properties during construction and to coordinate with various utility companies to maintain public services in the area, said Glenn Blain, NYSDOT spokesman.
“The design maximizes construction by widening the roadway footprint to install an additional eastbound and westbound travel lane on State Route 347, a shared use path and other roadway features. Retaining walls, profile adjustments, etc., are also being used to minimize impacts to the adjacent properties.”
Safety is a top concern
every Friday
Scalamandre & Sons Inc. safety director gives a weekly tool box talk to discuss
began the work this past December, a year ahead of schedule. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2024. The initiative, part of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), is being financed by federal and state funds.
The work constitutes the latest phase in the NYSDOT’s ongoing initiative to ease congestion, improve mobility and enhance safety along the busy Long Island roadway by transforming a 12-mi. stretch between State Routes 454 and 25A into a multimodal, environmentally sustainable boulevard for motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users.
Constructed in the 1950s as a farm delivery route, State Route 347 , also known as the Smithtown Bypass, grew along with the suburban development boom and has become a major east-west corridor for Long Island motorists.
“Building on the success of five earlier phases of the State Route 347 modernization, the new phase will reimagine the roadway by adding a new road surface, raised planted medians and a continuous third travel lane in both directions,” according to NYSDOT.
“Intersections with local roads and the Smith Haven Mall entrances will also be enhanced with new traffic signals and turning lanes to improve traffic flow. Other improvements include enhanced bus stops with pull-off areas for buses, shaded shelters and solarpowered lighting, solar-powered pedestrian level lighting at intersections, coordinated traffic signals that reduce congestion and high-visibility crosswalks with pedestrian countdown timers
“The Parks to Ports Greenway shared-use path that’s adjacent to the road’s eastbound lanes will also be
extended by an additional two miles as part of the project,” NYSDOT added.
Bicycle racks and informational panels with details about the local community and environment also are being added. New landscaping, a rain garden and greenway stop with benches and informational panels are planned for along the roadway.
“Rain gardens improve the collection and treatment of storm water runoff in an environmentally-friendly manner by creating a natural filtration system,” NYSDOT said.
The ongoing project was designed by NYSDOT consultants Greenman - Pedersen Inc.
The project also had to contend with the
The current features of Route 347 are inadequate to handle the significant volumes of motorists and trucks that now use this roadway, which was constructed in the 1960s, according to NYSDOT.
“In 1969, an average of 48,000 vehicles per day used Route 347. Presently there are an estimated 71,000 vehicles per day using this road. Increased accidents, traffic congestion, lack of continuous sidewalks and limited turning lanes are safety and traffic flow concerns that need to be addressed to improve mobility, and driver and pedestrian safety.
“Over the past decade, the DOT has worked closely with communities and officials to develop project features and designs that meet safety and mobility objectives as well as the needs of local communities and businesses. The ‘community sensitive’ Green Route 347 alternative will make this roadway safer for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists, while addressing issues raised by the local communities.”
Five sections have been completed thus far: the $26.8 million Veterans Memorial Highway to Hampauge Road section in 2013; the $30.5 million Hampauge Road to Mount Pleasant Road section in 2015; the $26.5 million NYS Route 112 Intersection in 2015; the $39.2 million Mount Pleasant Road to Terry Road section in 2017; and the $36.3 million Terry Road to Gibbs Pond Road section in 2017.
So far, Peter Scalamandre & Sons has completed all the clearing and grubbing, the recharge basins and the pipe section running the drainage into them. Operations are ongoing for the electrical, gas and water main installations.
“We are actively doing drainage work, which includes the leaching and catch basins and reinforced concrete pipe —15 to 60 inch,” said Project Manager Chris Lacagnina. “We are also installing retaining walls and dense concrete walls. Over the next 12 months, we’re going to be doing the

noise wall foundations and panels and continue with the drainage work. We just finished the steel sheeting and our electrical subcontractor is working on the new traffic signal poles, putting in all the wiring.
“The recharge basins with the landscaping, as well as the chain link fence, are going in. We’ll be doing some major earthwork, digging out the roadway and widening. The project has its challenges.
“Right now, most of the industry is seeing long lead times on materials, as well as procuring materials,” said Lacagnina. “We’re having issues obtaining a lot of the materials we need.”
Peter Scalamandre & Sons has some night work planned in the future.
“We did some directional drilling overnight and drainage crossings across SR 347 to not impact the travelling public during the day. We’re right on schedule. We’re trying to finish Phase 1 as soon as possible and progress to Phase 2 and get the pipes set. There is always going to be utility conflicts here and there and we have some sewer conflicts with our drainage runs and a few gas and electric ones. We’re working with the utility companies.”
Lacagnina has two construction yards and the westbound shoulder lane is basically closed for the duration of Phase 1.
“This allows us to work safely,” he said. “We don’t plan on shutting down in the winter. We’re going to continue as long as we can and look to do earthwork and drainage.
“The relationship with the DOT is great. We speak and meet every day and we have weekly meetings. We both have offices in the same building. The second something happens, we’ll sit down and hash it out.”
Current operations are focusing on setting the site up for the road work.
“We have the westbound MPT detour along the shoulder giving us access to install the drainage infrastructure and for any crossings,” said Lacagnina.
In terms of asphalt paved lanes, crews will install a bike lane in the eastbound direction and widen the roads to provide more room on each side of the road.
“They are going to increase the roadway with three lanes in each direction — they will have a wider shoulder and bigger turning lanes at each intersection or driveway,” said Lacagnina.
Project Supervisor Keith Bigbie added that “the work is straightforward. Like anything else in heavy construction, it’s just the supply chain issues that we are having. We’re trying to get materials and dealing with inflation and freight carrying charges. This makes the project more challenging as we try to meet and exceed production.”
The project is being completed in four phases and ensuring there is sufficient storage space is a constant issue.
“We have limited space and the stockpiles for the earth that has been excavated can only get so big,” said Lacagnina. “But we’re probably 90 percent done on the major clearing and grubbing and now the earthwork will concentrate along the roadways.”
The excavated material has been tested and classified as Select Plus.
“We’re able to use all of it for our drainage
and equipment-wise that Keith needs. He’s on it. We have some of the greatest guys in the union. We have some of the hardest working people in the field.”
Excavation should have crews remove 83,610 cu. yds. of various materials. New materials should include 86,108 tons of HMApavement; 1,620 cu. yds. of concrete retaining walls; 27,550 linear ft. of reinforced concrete pipe; 1,852 cu. yds. of concrete flatwork; and 4,329 tons of HMA for the bike paths.
There are between 50 and 60 Scalamandre crew members and approximately 15 subcontractor employees on site. The subcontractors are Araz Industries for watermains, Bohemia Garden Center Inc. for landscaping, Hinck Electrical Contractors for electrical and Sea Crest Development Corp. for trucking.
Crews are using a Komatsu PC238 excavator, a PC490 excavator, a WA380-8 wheel loader, a WA470-8 wheel loader, a D51-PX crawler dozer and a PC200 LC hydraulic excavator. For Caterpillar, they are using a 335F excavator, a 308-07A excavator, an M320F wheeled excavator, a 316F-rubber-tire hydraulic excavator, a D6K2 LGP dozer and a 450F backhoe. And for Liebherr, they are using an LBR18 sheeting rig; for Dynapac, a CA251D roller; and for Hamm, an HD12VV asphalt roller.
work,” said Lacagnina. “So it’s a pretty green project in that everything we dig up can be reused as backfill. Nothing has to be trucked away or disposed of that is not warranted or needed.”
There is no bridge work in any of the phases.
The management team includes: General Superintendent Thomas Hayes and Project Administrator Thomas Boccard.
“It’s a collaborative team effort,” said Lacagnina. “We all know each other and have worked together for many years. Boccard does all the paperwork and provides anything the state needs. Hayes provides anything involving manpower
“We have a repair shop at our yard in Freeport, N.Y., which is about 40 minutes away,” said Lacagnina. “The mechanics can be here within an hour. The major wear and tear is the unknowns of what is in the ground, especially with the steel sheeting drilling. You don’t know what rocks, boulders or substances you’re going to drive into and with the excavators and other equipment, it is the constant digging — sometimes you’ll get cutting edges that will break off. Again, it’s all the unknowns in the ground and being careful with utilities and not damaging anything. The key to good maintenance is always having the master mechanics and foremen talking with our operators, making sure the machines are greased everyday. If any lights or errors come up, our foremen and myself are notified right away and we’ll have a mechanic on site within the hour or later that day to get the work done.”
Scalamandre purchases and rents equipment from HO Penn Machinery Sales & Rentals (Caterpillar); JESCO (John Deere rentals); and Komatsu USA (Komatsu rentals).
“We rent specialty equipment as required from local vendors” said Lacagnina. “It’s just a question of being friendly and letting them know what we need. They give us the trials on all of the machines to see if we like them and they are acceptable for what we are doing. We have good relationships with all the rental companies on Long Island. Whatever we need and when we need it, they get it for us.”
Safety is a top concern and every Friday the company’s safety director gives a weekly tool box talk to discuss safety issues.
“The management team and the guys in the field are like a big family,” said Lacagnina. “A bunch of brothers and sisters working together and getting the job done.”
