The JPL Legacy: A Journey of Entrepreneurship, Growth

By Jessica Bueno

SPECIAL TO CEG

Based out of Brooklyn, N.Y., J. Pizzirusso Landscaping Corp., commonly known as JPL, started as a landscaping business. However, over the years, JPL has expanded its scope and diversified its services to cater to the five boroughs of New York. Despite its name suggesting a focus on landscaping, JPL now offers a wide range of high-quality services to meet the diverse needs of its clientele.

Founded in 1968 by Anthony Pizzirusso, J. Pizzirusso Landscaping Corp., has a rich history that dates back to its humble beginnings. In its early years, the company primarily dedicated its efforts to residential landscape maintenance and construction.

“I remember my two brothers and I coming out of school, we were always working here as part time, summer job, after school and whenever we had off, you know…We would come help my dad”, recalled Joseph Pizzirusso, vice president of JPL.

After dedicating a significant amount of time to the family business, the three Pizzirusso brothers were well-equipped to assume leadership roles in the year 2000, when the senior Pizzirusso chose to take a step back. This was the moment when the company underwent a rebranding and became known as JPL, with John taking on the role of president, Joseph serving as vice president and Chris assuming the position of COO.

The company diversified its operations by venturing into the realm of commercial work. This expansion involved collaborating with general contractors to take on projects, including building parks, such as the notable “MillionTrees NYC” initiative in New York City, which was undertaken in 2004.

“We made the decision to bid on that project, then the company shifted its focus towards other government-related

projects,” Joseph said.

In due time, JPL transitioned into becoming the prime contractor for major projects that were required by the city. As the company continued to grow, they started bidding on contracts to build city park’s infrastructure, rather than solely focusing on landscaping. This shift allowed them to assume the role of the general contractor for these projects. Eventually this experience led JPL to expand into civil/heavy construction work.

Taking On Multiple Projects

Currently, the organization is actively engaged in various significant projects. These include the Street Trees initiative, as well as the development of parks and playgrounds for the New York City Parks Department. Additionally, the organization is partnering with the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) to undertake a major civil project called “East Side Coast Resiliency.” This project aims to revamp the Manhattan sewer system and mitigate flood risks caused

by rising sea levels in lower Manhattan.

A little under two years ago, JPL took over the massive Hart Island public cemetery transformation project. During this time, the Island was transferred from the Department of Corrections to the Parks Department where JPL began working on maintenance, record keeping and burials. This is when a new division was created within the company, which focuses on exclusively managing the operations and maintenance of the island.

This was a new undertaking for JPL, which it successfully implemented.

Recently, JPL, in a joint venture with New York Concrete Corp., was awarded the “Gateway – Phase II West Rail Yards” project, which entails building a subway tunnel from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue.

Hoffman Equipment, Volvo CE Deliver

JPL’s and Hoffman Equipment’s partnership can be traced back to the early 2000s, when Joseph connected with Territory Sales Manager Joe Barbara. Since 2004, both companies have been working together and continuing to strengthen their partnership.

“We picked Hoffman to start with because we trusted Joe,” John Pizzirusso said. “He’s always been a straight shooter, he always delivers. Although I’ve noticed substantial improvements in the parts and service department, Joe has always handled it all and assumed responsibility, so we haven’t really interacted too much with the parts and service.”

In addition to being highly satisfied with the service provided by Hoffman Equipment, JPL also is a loyal customer to Volvo CE, a brand that Hoffman added to its equipment profile in 2018.

Throughout the years, the company has purchased a total of eight machines from Hoffman, these being: four EWR150E, three EW60E, and one EC250E. JPL values the feedback from its operators, and they have spoken — Volvo Construction Equipment is high on their list when it comes to reliability and comfort.

Tom Kelly, Former Eagle Power Service Representative, Dies

Tom Kelly, former Eagle Power service representative, passed away following a long illness.

Philip “Tom” Thomas Kelly was born in Lansdale, Pa., in 1952. He was drawn to laboring with his hands on machines for a profession. He worked at gas stations, garages and farms.

Mr. Kelly joined the CASE Power service department in 1987. Later as Eagle Power’s Parts and Service Sales Representative (PSSR) he helped customers familiarize themselves with their new machines upon delivery and was a trusted point of contact for any issues which arose during its operation.

He retired from Eagle Power in 2019.

“Tommy was a huge presence here at Eagle,” remembered Matt McDonald, president of Eagle Power & Equipment. “He had

a big, loud laugh and an even bigger big heart. Customers loved and trusted him for his extensive knowledge of our products and his honesty. Tommy told it straight, good news or bad, and his customers always appreciated it.”

Mr. Kelly was a kind soul who filled the room he was in with good humor, a friend to all who met him, the company said. He is survived by his beloved wife Linda and a tremendous family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mr. Kelly’s name may be made to: Fox Chase Cancer Center, 333 Cottman Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111, online at www.foxchase.org or Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care, 523 Plymouth Rd., Suite 225, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, online at www.crossroadshospice.com. 

JESCO Holds Methods of Excavation Days Event in Md.

JESCO held a Methods of Excavation Days event Sept. 13 and 14, 2023, at the Operators and Engineers Local 37 Training Center in Sparrows Point, Md.

The event showcased several models of John Deere and Ditch Witch equipment for Local 37 members and contractors, including the Deere 60G mini-excavator, 650K dozer and 245P excavator, and the Ditch Witch W12 hydro vacuum excavator, HX50 vacuum excavator, HX30G vacuum excavator and SK3000 skid steer.

“We are showcasing all the different equipment that JESCO has to offer, such as our John Deere excavators, skid steers, dozers, and our Ditch Witch line, including vacuum excavators and skid steers,” said Warren Hagenbuch, general manager of the underground division, JESCO.

Tom McGrail, operations manager of JESCO, added, “The event is great to give people views of the different technologies out there and provide options that they may have not realized before,” said Mike Funk, union training director, Operating Engineers Local 37 training school, agreed.

“It’s a great relationship between us and John Deere, Ditch Witch and JESCO,” he said. “And this event lets our members see the latest and greatest of the new equipment. It is good for relationship purposes among all contractors.”

Funk also spoke of the importance of seeing and learning about the latest technology available on equipment and how that can help its members do their jobs more productively and efficiently.

“This is a great chance for our members to learn new things and see new equipment because on some job sites it’s not always the latest machines being used, but you need to see this technology, to see what it can do for future jobs,” he said.

Derrick Ward, precision construction and technology manager of JESCO, said

JESCO held a Methods of Excavation Days event Sept. 13 and 14, 2023, at the Operators and Engineers Local 37 Training Center in Sparrows Point, Md.

JESCO provided union members with the opportunity to use a John Deere 650K Smart Grade dozer to grade a simulated road.

The Methods of Excavation Days event showcased several models of John Deere and Ditch Witch equipment for Operators and Engineers Local 37 members to operate.

Union members also could learn about other equipment JESCO carries, including the Thunder Creek fuel trailers. see JESCO page 42

Flood-Protection Plans Worth $298M Go to Hoboken Area

Longtime northern New Jersey residents will likely never forget Superstorm Sandy’s brutal impact in the fall of 2012. Now, new projects in the Meadowlands and Hoboken areas aim to reduce the chances of any future storms causing so much flooding in the region.

North Jersey’s flood protection plans took a key step forward Sept. 20 when the state announced new contracts totaling nearly $298 million to support two major flood-resilience projects. One is set to be built in the Meadowlands, with another in nearby Hoboken and parts of Jersey City and Weehawken.

The Meadowlands communities that will benefit include Little Ferry, Carlstadt, Moonachie, South Hackensack and Teterboro, reported NorthJersey.com.

Both projects will be designed to protect the areas from flooding caused by severe storms and rising sea levels — issues tied to worsening climate change impacts.

The contracts were announced by Shawn LaTourette, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), as part of Climate Week, designed to educate the public about climate change and actions to address its effects.

Better Protection Needed From More Destructive Storms

The Meadowlands building project aims to lower the risk of high water from rainfall and to accelerate recovery times from storm surge flooding within the Losen Slote Creek watershed in Little Ferry and surrounding towns, according to NJDEP.

Rebuild by Design Meadowlands (RBDMeadowlands) was created after Superstorm Sandy to reinforce flood resiliency in Little Ferry and nearby towns also hit hard by the 2012 storm.

The storm surge caused the Hackensack River to flood and “took over 70 percent of the town,” Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo told NorthJersey.com. Today, the low-lying and densely populated area remains vulnerable to flooding, especially given the growing impacts of climate change.

Union Paving & Construction in Mountainside, N.J., was awarded a $45.6 million contract to manage the project and is scheduled to begin construction sometime

this fall. The company plans to install new infrastructure to improve drainage in the watershed as well as build a second pump station and make channel improvements.

According to a NJDEP fact sheet, due to old age, the area’s network of drainage channels and ditches does not allow for adequate drainage after heavy rains. Construction crews will deepen and widen the East Riser Ditch, remove sediment and debris, and add native plants to the embankment to enhance biodiversity.

Union also will replace the railroad bridge over the East Riser Ditch in Carlstadt, which is one portion of the project among others that may temporarily affect traffic in the area.

“When completed, this project will have a measurable impact in preventing flooding in a large area of our community that has been prone to rising water in heavy rainstorms,” Raguseo explained. “Like any major infrastructure construction project there may be detours and disturbances for a period of time, but it will certainly be worth it in the end when we see the final result.”

With enough funds, NJDEP said the Meadowlands project may also include a new park and green infrastructure designed for municipally owned buildings in the area.

Larger Award Goes to Hoboken Project

The Rebuild by Design Hudson River (RBD-Hudson) project in Hoboken, across the river from Manhattan, will include building more than 9,000 linear ft. of floodwall and the installation of floodgates and construction of berms and levees — comprehensively referred to as “resist structures” — to provide barriers during extreme high tide and storm surge events, NJDEP noted.

E.E. Cruz & Co., a Whitestone, N.Y., contractor, was awarded a $251 million contract to both build these structures and blend them into the fabric of the project area, including Harborside Park in Hoboken (to be renamed Cove Park), by incorporating seating, planters, lighting and educational and artistic murals.

The project also will include a comprehensive stormwater drainage component through the installation of curb and sidewalk drains and the removal of impervious pavement.

Preliminary work and preparatory activities by E.E. Cruz got under way in August, NorthJersey.com reported. More significant construction efforts, such as utility relocation and the start of construction on the floodwall elements, are anticipated to begin in early 2024.

The first phase of the RBD-Hudson project was a Sewer Separation Modification contract, completed in July 2022 for about $7 million, which infrastructure to separate portions of the combined sewer system in Hoboken to ensure that water from a storm surge event will not undermine the resilience structures after they are constructed.

NJDEP said the sewer separation effort will lead to better protection of public health by preventing the mixture of wastewater with stormwater during flooding events. The work included sealing more than 100 existing manholes, installing more than 30 additional manholes and 40 catch basins, adding 4,000 linear ft. of stormwater pipe, and installing eight stormwater treatment devices.

Strengthening the resilience of communities affected by Superstorm Sandy was the goal of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through its Rebuild by Design competition grant program, which launched in the summer of 2013 as a result of the devastation that resulted in New Jersey and neighboring states. Since the initial HUD award, both projects have received additional monies, including funds from the federal American Rescue Plan and FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities fund. 

Work Begins in Queens On New Power Converter Station

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and other officials gathered in Queens Sept. 19 for the ceremonial groundbreaking of a new power converter station, part of a major hydroelectricity project that will run through two of the largest waterways in the state’s North Country.

The 339-mi. Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) will deliver carbon-free electricity from northern Quebec to power over a million homes in New York City. Much of it will be laid along the bottoms of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain, according to North Country Public Radio (NCPR).

Officials hope the project will accelerate progress toward helping New York State reach its goal of 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 as required by the nationleading Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.

Hochul described that transition as necessary.

“We are now living the effects of what has happened over decades, with people not caring about what poison is being emitted into our waters, our streams, our air, and not caring about what is happening with all the discharges of carbon into our atmosphere.”

She also blamed extreme weather linked to climate change, like historic snowstorms and flooding, and severe air quality in the state over the last year.

Hochul said it is important to do what is right for future generations.

“We are called upon to plan the future, to make it a better experience, better existence for our children and grandchildren,” she noted. “Shame on us if we don’t act with urgency in this moment, because future generations will not look kindly upon us if we do not.”

The governor was joined at the power converter station’s groundbreaking by U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk, Quebec Premier Francois Legault, and Grand Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke.

International and local applause followed the start of construction on the converter station for the transmission line, according to The Sun, another news source in the state’s North Country.

Once completed, the CHPE facility in Astoria, Queens, will convert 1,250 megawatts of clean energy from direct cur-

rent to alternating current power that will be fed directly into New York City’s power grid.

The competitively priced hydropower provided by CHPE from Québec is expected to reduce harmful emissions by 3.7 million metric tons — the equivalent of removing approximately 44 percent of the cars from New York City streets, the Sun news site learned.

In addition, the project also is expected to provide a total of $3.5 billion in economic benefits to New Yorkers and create approximately 1,400 family-sustaining jobs during construction, with a commitment to use a significant amount of union labor.

Remediation Efforts Prepared Site for Construction

Construction on the converter station officially began on June 22, including significant remediation work that was required to prepare the site for building the zero-emissions facility.

In total, the Sun noted that six tanks which previously stored 12 million gallons of No. 6 oil, as well as nearly 4 mi. of piping, were removed from the site. During peak construction, approximately 150 union workers will develop the facility with Kiewit Corp. serving as the project’s lead contractor.

Construction on CHPE first began last Nov. 30 in Whitehall, N.Y., and since then, project crews have been executing and preparing for construction activity throughout the eastern edge of the state, including in Plattsburgh where the North Country Chamber of Commerce quickly welcomed the official start of work during the Queens event.

“The North Country Chamber has been an active supporter of this historic initiative since its beginnings,” said chamber President Garry Douglas. “New York needs substantial new quantities of power going forward and Quebec has it. It is logical to take the already substantial and multifaceted Quebec-New York economic partnership to a new level of integration through this clean energy collaboration.

“It is important to meeting our needs and it is an important deepening of the QuebecNew York relationship,” he continued. “It was heartening to see Gov. Kathy Hochul and Quebec Premier Francois Legault joined side by side in the groundbreaking.” 

JPL Embraces Challenges of All Sizes, Construction Scope

Operators find the EWR150E perfect for work in the city due to its zero-tail swing, which complies with city regulations. The production JPL’s operators achieve due to Volvo’s speed, power and performance make Volvo Excavators their first choice.

The stars of the fleet are the rubber tire excavators, as Volvo CE is renowned for its wide range of such excavators.

“We get a lot of feedback from our operators, obviously,” Chris Pizzirusso said. “You know, we’re not out there as much using the equipment everyday like they do. The dependability and the warranty is amazing…And the fact that Joe answers his phone at 10 o’clock at night is amazing also.”

Standing Out From Competition

According to Project Manager Dionel Lopez, one of the advantages that sets JPL apart from others is the fact that it is a family-owned company. Since its establishment, the brothers who own the company have fostered a synergistic working environment that extends to the entire team. This dynamic contributes to JPL’s distinctiveness and success, he said.

“After we are awarded a project, Joe and Chris personally visit the site in order to gain a deep understanding of its requirements. Together, they develop a comprehensive plan and assemble the right team to ensure successful completion of the task at hand,” Lopez added.

It is clear that JPL has a strong sense of family values and they run their business according to those family values, which is one of the strengths JPL recognizes and has in common with Hoffman. Hoffman still operates as a family-

owned business with more than 100 years of history.

“You are not just a number at Hoffman. We value our customers as people and approach our relationships with our customers according to those family values that are so deeply rooted in Hoffman’s culture,” said Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Hoffman Equipment Eric Seikel.

In addition to its strong leadership, JPL distinguishes itself by embracing challenges of all sizes.

“We target more complex work. We’ve done curb and sidewalk contract for the city of New York, whether it’s a road reconstruction job, or a wetland restoration project, or a subway tunnel, or Hart Island. They’re more out of the box, complex projects, but we are able to do them,” Joseph Pizzirusso said.

The company presently has four very distinct divisions with more than 200 employees and growing. Whether it’s small-scale projects within the city or large-scale highway work, JPL is always ready to take on new opportunities. The company’s commitment to growth is evident through its collaborations with various agencies such as DDC, EDC, DEP, DOT, NYSOPRHP, MTA, and Amtrak, showcasing its willingness to expand and forge new partnerships.

Looking at the Future

Despite the ever-changing nature of the industry, JPL is prepared to adapt to future developments while maintaining its close-knit, family-oriented approach.

Chris Pizzirusso expressed his desire for the next generation, including his own children, to become involved in the business and contribute to its growth.

“All of our children, our boys, my youngest daughter wants to be an engineer, I’d love to see them in the business and growing from that. That would be my goal,” he said.

JPL will continue its trajectory of growth, just as it has done over the past decades. The company will embrace new challenges and projects while staying up-to-date of the everevolving times and advancements in technology. With partnerships like Hoffman Equipment and Volvo Construction Equipment providing the next generation of heavy construction equipment, JPL’s potential is limitless. 

Carhartt Continues Support of Skilled Trades With Donation

As the demand for skilled workers across the United States reaches fever pitch — and the industry at large expected to grow 10 percent by 2028 fueled by emerging technology, changing infrastructure, $18 billion-per-year climate disasters and other factors — Carhartt is championing the hardest-working community organizations empowering the workforce of tomorrow.

Through its “For the Love of Labor” program — a biannual initiative that supports nonprofit organizations as they educate, train and place workers into meaningful skilled trades — Carhartt donated all sales from Carhartt.com and Reworked.Carhartt.com on Labor Day, Sept. 4, and dedicating its fall 2023 grant to support veteran-led nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming TRades Academy program.

Through its “For the Love of Labor” program — a biannual initiative that supports nonprofit organizations as they educate, train and place workers into meaningful skilled trades — Carhartt donated all sales from Carhartt.com and Reworked.Carhartt.com on Labor Day, Sept. 4, and dedicating its fall 2023 grant to support veteran-led nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming Trades Academy program.

•

A total of $475,833 will be donated to disaster response nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming TRades Academy. This year’s effort surpassed the brand’s 2022 Labor Day initiative, with a roughly 7 percent boost from last year’s donation

Expected to continue developing over the next five years, Team Rubicon’s TRades Academy seeks to train military veterans transitioning to civilian life — as well as other workers — in disaster-standard licensed contracting skills like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning so they can help rebuild homes in the communities that need it most.

“As the skilled labor shortage persists and much of the country is increasingly impacted by natural disasters, the task of rebuilding requires hard work and ‘heart’ work,” said Todd Corley, senior vice president of inclusion, sustainability and community at Carhartt.

“By investing in necessary job training for those who have served their country and have a passion for serving others, we’re helping to bridge the skilled trades gap, empower military veterans transitioning to civilian life and invest in stronger individuals, families and communities — both now and for years to come.”

The inspiration behind the TRades Academy was born from one of Team Rubicon’s missions to rebuild safe and resilient homes in communities affected by

disasters. With a highly-skilled volunteer force of 150,000 individuals and counting, Team Rubicon works to give military veteran volunteers the opportunity to continue service alongside first responders and civilians, as well as provide avenues towards a renewed sense of purpose, community and identity.

“Bound by Carhartt and Team Rubicon’s shared mission of service, this grant will not only serve future students of the TRades Academy, but also their communities, paving a more sustainable way to address the labor shortage long-term,” said Art delaCruz, CEO of Team Rubicon.

“We’re honored to extend our partnership with Carhartt, ensuring that our country is equipped with the hardworking hands needed to restore homes and futures.”

Founded in August 2022, Carhartt’s For the Love of Labor grant program has received more than 350 applications to-date, with 16 grants awarded thus far to eligible U.S.-based 501C3 designated organizations in recognized apprenticeship industries that serve at least 100 individuals annually.

With Carhartt’s funding, recipient organizations have been able to provide hardworking participants with durable gear, tools, childcare and transportation. Many organizations have also added new programs, instructors, resources, recruitment strategies, partner connections, and ultimately, graduated more apprenticeship students seeking work in the skilled trades.

Rockfall Protection Project Begins Near Harpers Ferry, W.Va.

Work got under way Sept. 12 near Harpers Ferry, W. Va., to install rockfall protection and stabilization measures associated with the existing slopes above a short stretch of northbound U.S. Highway 340 along the southern banks of both the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers.

Crews on the U.S. 340 Rockslide Project will conduct the work over the next three months while considering local traffic impacts and future development of the highway’s corridor through the scenic river valley.

Safety is at the core of this project, noted the West Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH). The mountainous section of U.S. 340 between the Shenandoah River Bridge and the Virginia state line has a history of rock falls, according to the agency, which plans to remove any loose rocks, and scale off future rockfalls.

Last May, the WVDOH awarded a $10.2 million contract to Triton Construction from nearby St. Albans, W. Va., to stabilize the rockslide-prone mountain above U.S. 340.

The contract also calls for localized rock bolting and removal of potential large scale rockfall hazards. Additionally, the rockfall mitigation efforts on the slope will include draped and pinned mesh, ground-level rockfall barriers and on-slope rockfall attenuator systems.

The existing cut slopes in the project study

area are a product of U.S. 340’s construction in the mid-1950s and natural erosion along the Shenandoah River.

WVDOH noted that those slopes and the exposed rock of natural slopes vary in height from 150 ft. to more than 300 ft. above the roadway. The cut slopes exhibit varying degrees of rockfall activity that present potential hazards to drivers and hikers and require ongoing maintenance by the state agency.

Rockfall Mitigation Project Leads to Driving Detours

The highway is a high-traffic volume corridor carrying about 24,500 vehicles a day, including local, commuter and truck traffic from Virginia east through West Virginia and Maryland. Due to its recreational and historical significance in the region, U.S. 340 also experiences heavy traffic from seasonal tourism.

The U.S. 340 rockslide project area is approximately 1-mi.-long and is located in the Loudoun Heights region of the Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park, west of the West Virginia/Virginia border.

As a result of the rockfall control effort, a section of U.S. 340 between West Virginia Highway 671/Harpers Ferry Road and Chestnut Hill Road will be closed. Detours may be up to 22 mi. in length, adding an average of 35 minutes of travel time for many visitors.

Although the road is scheduled to be closed for 90 days, WVDOH said the project could take longer to complete.

In addition, the Appalachian Trail over the U.S. 340 bridge across the Shenandoah River will remain open throughout the construction but may be interrupted for no more than 20 minutes to allow helicopters to reach the work site.

A posted detour around the project area uses W. Va. 9, Va. 9, and Va. 671 to return to U.S. 340 on the Virginia side, and upgrades to the signalized intersection in Virginia also have been made.

WVDOH also is working closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to coordinate the project.

Mountain Trail Closures Also Planned

The National Park Service (NPS), which manages the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP) at the confluence of the two rivers, also announced some closures ahead of the rock stabilization effort.

“Due to potentially hazardous conditions during rockslide stabilization work along U.S. 340, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park will temporarily close a portion of the Loudoun Heights Trail, certain climbing routes and a section of river shoreline,” according to an NPS news release. “The temporary closures

will continue for the duration of the work.”

The Loudoun Heights Trail will be blocked off 1 mi. east of its intersection with the Appalachian Trail through the Split Rock Overlook, the NPS added, while noting the Loudoun Heights Trail will be monitored throughout the project to see if further closures become necessary for the safety of hikers and construction workers.

The park service also announced that climbing routes in Virginia and West Virginia east of Chestnut Hill Road will be closed during the work, as well as a 0.8 mi. section of shoreline below the work where the Shenandoah meets the Potomac.

Harpers Ferry NHP plans to remain open and continue offering programming and events throughout the closure. Recreational activities and trails throughout the rest of the park will not be impacted.

The town became infamous in 1859 when abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the U.S. armory located there, an event that was a flash point in starting the American Civil War. As the northernmost point of Confederate-controlled territory during the war, Harpers Ferry became a key outpost of the South due to its location on the slopes between the two rivers.

The town also was an antebellum manufacturing and transportation hub in the 19th century but has long since reoriented its economy around tourism.

“This is an opportunity for contractors to get out and see some of the equipment,” he said. “We have different pieces of equipment that we are using. We are using a Topcon base and rover kit and we are showing how to check grades with the Rover out in the field. We have the John Deere 245P excavator with the X53x Topcon Automatic Excavator sys-

tem on that. We are showing people how to dig into a trench and use automation. This helps them to dig and stay on grade as well as the 650K Smart Grade Dozer, which they are using to grade a simulated road here.”

“The union halls are training their members in this technology because the companies have the equipment with this technology and when they need operators, their members will need to have a good knowledge of how this works,” he added.  CEG

Kubota Awards $600,000 in Its 2023

‘Kubota Hometown Proud’ Grants

Kubota continues its commitment to invest in hometowns across America with its Kubota Hometown Proud community grant program, awarding $600,000 in grants to five deserving communities.

Kubota Hometown Proud is an annual grant program that encourages municipalities and nonprofit organizations to partner with their local Kubota dealership to apply for grant funding consideration.

This year, the program launched a call-for-entries in April and received nearly 800 applications before Kubota selected its five $100,000 regional grant winners. Then in August, all five community revitalization projects were put up for a public vote to determine one lucky “Community Choice Grant” winner to receive an additional $100,000, which ultimately was awarded to Lucasville Community Park, a new park concept for a small town in Ohio that needed a community gathering place.

“Kubota is proud to give back to the communities where our dealers live and work,” said Todd Stucke, senior vice president of Kubota North America, and senior vice president of marketing, product support & strategic projects of Kubota Tractor Corporation.

“This year, the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program saw applicants from nearly every state in the country. We are incredibly honored to support this year’s projects and hope our funding and equipment will assist in bringing each winner’s vision to life to serve each hometown for many years to come.”

The 2023 Kubota Hometown Proud Grant Program winners include:

• Lucasville Community Park (Lucasville, Ohio): Every hometown needs a community gathering space, and that is what this project is all about: Together with their local Kubota dealer, Ricer Equipment, Lucasville Community Park is the 2023 Community Choice grant recipient. The $200,000 will be used to build an amphitheater and construct the next phase of the park that consists of building a ¼ mi. paved walking path to make the space accessible to all.

• Black Farms, Food and Families Project (Lebanon, Tenn.): The Black Farms, Food and Families project, in partnership with Absolute Kubota, the

New Farmer Academy at Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Tennessee State University (TSU), will use a Kubota Hometown Proud Grant to build an educational greenhouse, to help revitalize minority interest in agriculture through an heirloom “seed-tofeed” project.

• The Children’s Village (Coeur d’Alene, Idaho): “Every family deserves a village” is the belief of Children’s Village, a trauma-responsive safe haven providing crisis youth housing and family support services. Partnering with their local Kubota dealer, Coeur D’Alene Tractor, The Children’s Village applied for and won a 2023 Kubota Hometown Proud grant of $100,000.

• Hunger Task Force (West Milwaukee, Wis.): Hunger Task Force, Milwaukee’s Free & Local food bank, is a unique program that includes a 208-acre urban farm that grows fresh produce for local families. The Farm is supported by 5,000 volunteers and equipment from their local Kubota dealer, Lochen Equipment and the

Kubota Hometown Proud Grant will help to purchase much-needed equipment for the farm.

• The Giving Grove (Dallas, Texas): The Giving Grove community orchard program helps volunteers install and maintain fruit trees and berry bushes that provide a free source of fresh food for urban neighborhoods. With the support of Schaffer Kubota, this grant will allow GROW North Texas to purchase a truck and landscape trailer to transport trees and supplies to the 24 existing orchard sites around the region.

Kubota is honored to invest in hometowns across America and help make sustainable impacts for the future — from building agriculture centers and barns, to supporting community gardens and vocational farming programs — which is exactly what the brand’s hard-working equipment is built for. To date, the company has awarded $1.2 million in Kubota Hometown Proud grants.

IIJA Sets Highway, Airport, Bridge, Water Projects in Motion

The IIJA has set in motion highway, airport, bridge and water projects that were shelved over the decades as U.S. infrastructure sat neglected.

Its long-term goal is to release the backlog, build out broadband Internet nationally and prevent damage from climate change.

The amount most states will see as their transportation funding allotments equates to a nearly 30 percent increase over the next five years.

But while DOT wants to see existing transportation facilities repaired, many states are choosing to earmark funds for new construction.

What John Q. Public Thinks

Many Americans want officials to stop spending money on projects that affect their daily lives, StreetBlog reported. A poll by nonprofit Smart Growth America found that more than two-thirds believe highway expansions won’t fix congestion.

In fact, 67 percent of respondents either “strongly” or “somewhat” agreed that expanding highways takes years, causes delays and costs billions of dollars. The same number agreed that “widening highways attracts more people to drive, which creates more traffic in the long run.”

The average U.S. voter “understands the long-proven principle of ‘induced demand’ better than many U.S. transportation officials,” noted StreetBlog.

Induced demand “is real and people understand it,” said Steve Davis, associate vice president of Smart Growth, which co-commissioned the study.

“Only a small percentage believes the promise that new lanes and new roads magically make congestion and delay go away.”

Survey respondents also weighed in on what they believe does work to keep traffic moving — starting with repairing existing roads.

More public transportation options and building communities so people do not have to drive as much also were chosen as the most-effective solutions.

“Adding lanes to highways and freeways’ tied for secondto-last with “making streets more bike-friendly.”

More than 82 percent preferred congestion mitigation strategies other than building bigger and bigger roads. And they were about twice as likely to pick basic road repair and public transportation over building new lane miles, noted StreetBlog.

“There’s a political perception that [induced demand] is not understood,” said Beth Osborne, executive director of Transportation for America (TA).

That perception, as a result, is used as an excuse for not talking about the concept of induced demand, she said.

“We also have to ask how long people will accept this [kind of decision-making] before they’ll cut off their money.”

Meantime, there is very little new funding in the

infrastructure bill specifically dedicated to repair, said Steve Davis, assistant vice president of Transportation for America.

“And [there is] no new requirements on highway monies for prioritizing repair on roads and bridges,” said Davis.

He said the law “doubled down” on giving states flexibility with the bulk of their money and then hoping they would prioritize repair.

FHWA reported to the Associated Press that 12 capacityexpansion projects have received funding through competitive grants. In fact, AP reports that states have used their formula funding toward 763 such projects. The dollars directed to these projects come to more than $7 billion.

“Repair was one of our biggest disappointments in the infrastructure law,” wrote advocacy organization TA.

“The last decade has shown us repeatedly that too often states use their flexibility to build new things they can’t afford to maintain while neglecting to properly address their repair needs.”

This practice is one of the most fiscally irresponsible things our nation does with transportation policy, the organ-

ization believes.

“Every dollar spent on a roadway expansion project is both a dollar that was not spent on repair, and a dollar that created decades of future repair costs.”

Instead, the administration should work to ensure that the funds they control prioritize repair, while nudging states and metros toward the same goal.

“With a massive increase in guaranteed federal funding coming their way, they have no excuses left.”

Breaking Down the Bill

The advocacy organization detailed the two major funding programs typically drawn from for repair needs at the state level.

The National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) is tapped for approximately 53 percent of all states’ base highway formula appointment.

The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program is the most flexible source for infrastructure repairs at the state level.

NHPP funds are intended to be spent on the National Highway System’s roads and bridges, said TA.

It also is earmarked for transit or bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in a national highway system corridor.

“Funding for the NHPP went up by 26 percent over the FAST Act,” noted the organization. That means more money is “theoretically” available for repair projects if states choose to spend it that way.

Surface transportation block grants can be used on repair projects as well as transit, biking, walking and nearly all other possible mode of surface travel.

TA also noted that many states don’t take advantage of that flexibility.

“There is also a separate new program for repairing bridges that’s already been in the news after FHWA released the first batch of funding to states.”

At $43 billion, the bridge formula program is meant to repair either NHS bridges or those owned by counties, cities or other localities.

States have to come up with 20 percent of the cost for bigger projects. The program can cover 100 percent of the repair of locally owned off-system bridges. This component of the program is meant to incentivize more funding toward vital smaller bridges, which many states tend to ignore.

However, funds under this repair program can be utilized for expansion and building new bridges, according to FHWA.

States are encouraged to improve highway bridges in poor condition and preserve or improve in-service highway bridges classified in fair condition.

The agency considers construction of a new highway bridge to replace one in poor condition, to be improving the condition of an in-service highway bridge.

“While states are free to neglect repair needs, the

The federal government should work to ensure that the funds they control prioritize repair, while nudging states and metros toward the same goal, maintain transportation advocacy organizations.

American drivers believe highway expansion won’t fix congestion, and they want officials to stop spending money on projects that impact their daily lives.

Maryland DOT, Concrete General Building Ramp System

MARYLAND from page 1

Concrete General Inc. in a Progressive Design-Build Project. The object of the job is to reduce travel time congestion headaches for commuters. The team is attempting to reduce congestion and increase safety without widening the freeway in either direction.

The total project investment is about $132 million and is 85 percent complete.

Besides the 12 locations where geometric improvements have been designed and constructed, the design-build team is installing a new ramp metering system at 22 northbound and 23 southbound entrance ramps along the nearly 30-mi. I-270 between Frederick and I-495.

Flashing yellow and green signals on the ramps will tell drivers when the best time to merge with traffic. This ramp metering system times traffic merges to better regulate the flow without causing major traffic back-ups on the roads entering onto I-270. Downstream Traffic Sensors will monitor real-time traffic conditions and help control traffic merges more efficiently. The signals are timed so just one car at a time is allowed to enter from each lane.

The MDOT team is led by Steve McVeigh, MDOT SHA construction project engineer, and Sean Campion, chief, of the MDOT’s Innovative Contracting Division.

In some locations, removing existing pavement markings and installing new pavement markings allowed for an additional travel lane using the existing roadway footprint. The work has required more than 25,000 tons of asphalt for resurfacing and reconstructing the existing lanes.

The project involved some complex working relationships.

“The entire project stretched 33 miles,” said McVeigh. “It involved six construction packages and a total of 16 different projects. We had to think outside of the box in order to creatively work with multiple crews and multiple inspectors at all times.”

The work team gave commuters a chance to test out the ramp metering system, before making it fully operational.

“We turned on the system on a northbound ramp of 270 during normal traffic first,” said McVeigh. “We didn’t want to activate it during commuting time. We are going to let people get used to it first before turning it on from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.”

Mike Higgins, Concrete General’s design-build project manager, also praised the cooperation that occurred for the progressive design build team.

“MDOT SHA came up with a simple concept: what can you do to move the most traffic in the shortest time through the I-270 corridor within a fixed budget? That opened us up to consider many possibilities.”

The Concrete General-led design-build team included RK&K, a Baltimore-based engineering firm who was responsible for the design, and Bruce & Merrilees Electric Company, a New Castle, Pa.-based firm who was responsible for construction of the ramp metering for the project. This I-270 Innovative Congestion Management project is the first time ramp metering has been used in Maryland.

Construction team members are building a retaining wall to protect future traffic.

Workers are squeezing in more room for traffic on the busy I-270 in Maryland.

Workers for Concrete General excavate dirt to provide proper slopes for the road.

Seen here is the ramp metering system at 22 northbound and 23 southbound entrance ramps along the nearly 30-mi. I270.

Ramp Metering Allows Contractor to Save Time, Money

MARYLAND from page 50

“Ramp metering is a type of active traffic management, which manages the flow of merging traffic to make it more orderly and efficient,” said Higgins. “It eliminates most of the drivers who cut into traffic as quickly as possible and usually creates more congestion. Implementation of this active traffic management technique lengthened some merge lanes and added additional queue areas on some ramps. The ramp metering also used messaging to assist motorists on the entrance ramps for entering the traffic flow on I-270 more efficiently.

“We looked at both entrance and exit ramps for each of the interchanges from a traffic volume and crash data standpoint and were able to make minor modifications to the existing traffic movements to reduce congestion and improve throughput,” said Higgins. “We were also able to modify existing entry and exit points that changed the traffic flow that had been the source of numerous accidents in the past. Of course, nothing fouls up traffic like accidents.” Higgins believes this creative thinking resulted in some

sizeable savings.

“We did not have to widen the existing footprint of I-270 except in small areas,” he said. “That meant fewer utility relocations and fewer environmental impacts were required for the work. That along with the time savings for commuters from these improvements has resulted in a successful project for both the state and Maryland drivers.”  CEG

new law does uphold state of good repair programs for public transit,” said TA.

Walking Back the Rules

After much flack, in February FHWA changed position, saying it recognized the need for states to determine their own infrastructure priorities.

Critics in Congress claimed it was “another effort to exert its preferences to deprioritize projects that increased road capacity.”

Rick Crawford, House highways subcommittee chair, said, the policy “represented a complete departure from the federal-state partnership.”

He believed it was inconsistent with the law and was met with confusion from the states and concerns from industry stakeholders.

But industry “is already fixing it first,” maintained AGC. And while the guidance sounded practical, it actually limited the ability to add highway capacity.

Some 80 percent of the state funding already goes toward maintaining and reconstructing existing infrastructure, according to the association.

“Our interstates were built over 50 years ago, so it makes sense that states are now

largely focused on maintaining and modernizing them,” said the group.

“But it is also critical that states have the flexibility to add new capacity to meet the needs of a growing population.”

After a congressional review act was filed, the agency memo effectively rescinded the guidance encouraging emphasis on fix-it-first programs.

“I was glad FHWA recently issued an updated memorandum superseding and effectively reversing the Dec. 16, 2021, memorandum,” said Crawford.

In announcing the rescission, Shailen Bhatt, FHWA administrator, said different states have different needs in regard to transportation assets. These respective transportation needs “must be reconfigured and modernized, expanded and added, or retired and replaced,” she wrote. “FHWA recognizes and values the authority of states in deciding how to prioritize the use of their federal aid highway dollars.”

The new construction is happening across the country, she said, adding at least one new project is under way in every congressional district.

Despite the notable progress in IIJA implementation, inflation has reared its ugly head, critically impacting construction.

“Inflation’s impact cannot be understated,” wrote Aric Dreher of ABC. “Input prices for construction projects have increased on average by 11.1 percent.”

Construction materials prices are up more than 39 percent since February 2020, he noted.

Reducing Noise, Dust Emissions for More Sustainability

Excessive noise and dust emissions result in damage to health in the long term.

To protect not only employees on building sites, but also human and animal life in the surrounding area, Kleemann continuously develops new measures for reducing and efficiently containing noise and dust emissions. Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation thus work with a lower sound power level than their predecessor models.

Less Noise in Urban Areas

Particularly on construction sites in intra-urban areas, many people are exposed to noise emissions. Comprehensive noise protection is therefore all the more important here. However, regulations of local authorities with regard to the sound level of construction sites are not standardized. In order to optimize noise protection for residents and the construction site team independently of this, in the past Kleemann has dedicated a lot of develop work into the emission reduction of its plants.

As a result, the basic versions of the current machines operate at sound power levels up to 6.2 dB lower than the predecessor models — the perceived noise is thus 75 per-

cent lower. This is a clear improvement not only for users but also for residents.

Kleemann Solutions

The standard version of the Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation already operates at 87/88 decibels (dB) at the operator’s stand. Optional noise protection packages reduce the sound power level of the complete plant by a further 3 dB and halve the perceived noise level once again. Categorization aid: An average pneumatic drill reaches approx. 120 dB, a vacuum cleaner 70 dB.

Sustainability in the Series

As the fan speed is regulated according to load, ambient temperature and degree of cooler contamination, even the basic configuration of the mobile jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 is very low-noise. With the additional noise-protection package, the plant can be operated without noisedamping headsets — depending on the ambient conditions and local regulations. Even without the noise protection package, only 90 dB are measured directly at the machine. The noise protection package results in around 85 dB in the direct vicinity of the machine.

Effective Dust Containment

Not only efficient noise protection, but also containment of the dust development benefits employees, residents and the complete environment. This protects user and residents — and, ultimately, such measures also ensure greater acceptance of urban building sites. Kleemann, with a special belt cover and a water spraying concept, has developed two measures that contribute to dust reduction. Water pump systems can be connected to the intelligently positioned water spraying system so that, among other things, standing water bodies or tanks can be used. The cover means that the fine dust particles are no longer blown away but rather remain on the conveyor. The result is a clear reduction in dust emissions.

SENNEBOGEN Names Alta Equipment, TEC, Envimat as Top Dealers at Event

When Vinicius Casselli first planned to become a SENNEBOGEN dealer in Brazil, he knew that there were many opportunities for SENNEBOGEN, mainly in the forestry sector.

He initially thought that SENNEBOGEN could become as much as 30 to 40 percent of his sales. He felt that in this heart that since SENNEBOGEN was such a great product, he could turn around the markets’ perception.

What he didn’t know was that once the word got out that Envimat was going to be the SENNEBOGEN dealer in Brazil and that it was going to serve the industries properly, that it would grow to more than 80 percent of its business … in three short years.

At the recent ISRI show, Envimat was the top SENNEBOGEN dealer in the SENNEBOGEN America family. In the top three also were Alta Equipment and Tractor & Equipment Company.

According to Bruce Davis, director of demolition and material handling, “Alta Equipment appreciates the partnership we have with SENNEBOGEN. We were honored to be chosen to receive this award and look forward to more opportunities in the future.”

Similarly, Chad Stracener of Tractor & Equipment Company also was very pleased to once again repeat as one of the top three.

“SENNEBOGEN and TEC share many goals, with the most significant goal being providing first class customer support. SENNEBOGEN customers know that they are buying the best product on the market, and expect high uptime.

“It is our responsibility as a distributor to respond and repair when customers have a failure. We take that very seriously and will continue investing in parts inventory and technician training where we can make repairs faster. Constantino Lannes and his team at SENNEBOGEN have been great partners to TEC … we look forward to continued success.”

Envimat’s company name embodies its main areas of interest — the Environment and Material Handling. Starting with its strength in the forestry sector, it quickly got positive feedback from some of the largest pulp and paper mills in the country.

As Caselli explained it, many in the industry were not familiar with the capabilities of SENNEBOGEN material handlers. They kept trying to order machines that were too big for the job, adding unnecessary operating and maintenance costs while reducing their bottom line. He recalled a case where he met with a prospective client and he felt that a SENNEBOGEN was the machine that was needed for the job. After reviewing the job application specifications, Casselli recommended a SENNEBOGEN. The client was apprehensive but after some review, felt that perhaps a SENNEBOGEN would be the right machine and ordered six.

Cat MH3050 Material Handler Offers Performance, Comfort

The new Cat MH3050 material handler further expands the Cat material handler lineup and offerings for industrial applications.

The MH3050 provides enhanced performance, reliability and premium cab comfort. The advanced electrohydraulic system optimizes the balance of power and efficiency, improving cycle times to handle more material in the same amount of time, improving profit potential, the manufacturer said.

This Next Generation material handler is powered by the Cat C9.3B engine, capable of operating on up to B20 biodiesel. Meeting EU Stage V and U.S. EPA Tier IV Final emissions standards, the engine’s maintenancefree aftertreatment system lowers operating costs and maximizes machine uptime.

Fine-tune power requirements to the task at hand with the choice between Power, Smart and Economy modes, lowering fuel consumption without sacrificing machine performance.

Boom and stick offerings combine to provide up to 59 ft. 3 in. of reach, allowing operators to move more material without repositioning the machine. The MH3050 also offers high swing torque to quickly move material. Allowing the boom to freely travel up and down without using pump flow, standard SmartBoom allows the operator to focus on stick and grapple control for a more fuel-efficient cycle.

A range of attachments are available increasing operating flexibility, and an optional 25 kW generator is available ex-factory for magnet applications.

Technology

Standard technologies on the Cat MH3050 material handler elevate operating protection. E-fence prevents the machine from moving outside operator defined envelopes, while Cab Avoidance stops any potential contact between the attachment and cab.

Cat Payload helps to achieve precise load targets to improve operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material — with grapple and clamshell attachments and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging. By requiring a PIN code to start the engine, Operator ID inhibits the machine from unauthorized operation.

Designed for Safe Operation

Large tempered glass windows with small pillars on the reengineered cab design enhance all-around visibility and operating safety. Standard right-side and rearview

cameras, with the option to upgrade to 360degree vision, display video feed on the large in-cab touchscreen monitor to further enhance work area visibility. Thick, laminated, high-impact and impact-resistant windshields and roof windows meet EN356, P8B and P5A standards. The machine also is equipped with 1800-lumen LED lights on the chassis, boom, and stick, offering greater safety and full visibility while operating in the dark.

A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine and shuts down the machine. Standard boom and stick lowering check valves prevent reverse oil flow in the event of unexpected loss of hydraulic pressure, always keeping the front linkage securely in place. Various cab access options provide easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service area.

Reimagined Comfort

The MH3050 comes standard with a premium cab, featuring joystick steering to eliminate the steering column and improve forward visibility, legroom and ease of cab entry. All controls are conveniently positioned in front of and within easy reach of the operator to avoid unnecessary movements. A large, 10-in. high-resolution touchscreen monitor with jog-dial offers easy navigation of the intuitive operator controls. To get started easily every day, the machine automatically recalls joystick settings based on the Operator ID. The hydraulic cab riser with new dampening system improves allaround visibility and provides cushion from external vibrations.

Superior Industries Reveals New Look for Its Well-Known Chevron Wing Pulley

Superior Industries Inc., a manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, revealed a new look for its well-known Chevron Wing Pulley at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

The CEMA-rated model is now designed and manufactured without a rounded cap on the wings.

“Users are going to get the same benefits of the original design, but the CEMA class gets a bit of a price reduction without that rounded bar,” said Mary Erholz, vice president of marketing and conveying product manager at Superior. “It’s also going to increase the service life of Chevron Pulleys, since the bare wings offer so much more wearable material.”

The v-shaped Chevron Pulley revolutionized expectations for wing performance after being invented by Superior in 2007. Traditional straight wing pulleys were always prone to trapping material, bending prematurely and notorious for damaging conveyor belting, according to Superior.

The Chevron Pulley’s benefits:

• Deflects oncoming fugitive material

• Fewer rocks trapped between wings

• No trapped rocks to puncture belting

• Constant contact between pulley and belt reduces noise

• Less abusive to belt splices and clips

CEMA Duty Chevron Pulleys are manufactured in diameters up to 36-in. and face widths up to 78-in. Mine Duty, Super Duty and custom engineered classes also are available.

not burned not only saves them money but reduces their carbon footprint. A Win-Win for all parties.

Thanks for Factory Support

Casselli also could not say enough about the support he and his team get from SENNEBOGEN.

“First of all, we send our technicians for the free factory training at the SENNEBOGEN Training Center in Charlotte. I also appreciate that they have a training team that is fluent in Spanish. Our techs come back with a thorough understanding of the equipment and how it was designed and how it works. As well, their trainers are not just ‘teachers’, they are technicians themselves. This creates the best possible learning scenario — technicians showing other technicians.”

As well, Caselli was very thankful for the ongoing support they get directly from Constantino Lannes, president of SENNEBOGEN America. Besides being fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, he calls Constantino a “SENNAHOLIC.’”

“Whether it is one machine or 10 machines, he brings enthusiasm to each customer. He also generously shares his knowledge and our customers really appreciate it.”

SENNEBOGEN Secret Sauce

According to Casselli, the design of the machine is one of the ingredients of the secret sauce to Envimat’s success.

“The way they designed the machine, with off-the-shelf parts makes it easier for our customer to ensure their uptime as they can get Cummins and Bosch parts everywhere. Without computers to fail, uptime is always at a maximum.”

Caselli remembers getting a call from an operator where the screen shut down, but the machine kept on working as there was no computer in the background keeping it from being operational. He was surprised that he could continue to load logs and then realized the benefit of not having a computer-controlled machine.

Getting Ready for Repeat

Although Envimat stocks all the parts and keeps investing in building their parts inventory, Casselli feels that his customers appreciate the fact that the parts are not proprietary and can get almost everything through their own supply chain. Even still, he continues to build his inventory of parts to ensure that his customers can rely on his support when they need it. This according to Casselli is a “winning strategy” and he loves winning. His plan to repeat next year as the Dealer of the Year is clear.

“I’ve always said that Plan B was to make sure that Plan A worked and that is the course of action that we are following. Our team sleeps, eats and thinks SENNEBOGEN 24 hours a day.”

He also knows that from his experience and success in the forestry sector, that their clients count on them as their equipment partner.

“To meet that goal”, continued Casselli, “we are building a team of purpose-built market specialists to work within our scrap, waste and port industries and bring them purpose-built solutions. Our objective is to become a ‘mini factory-styled’ SENNEBOGEN right here in Brazil. This will enable us to repeat next year and for years to come.”

Thunder Creek Equipment has named Drew Farrell as the new territory sales manager of the northeastern United States, including New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Maine.

Farrell will work to further build out the Thunder Creek Equipment dealer network in the region, foster relationships with customers in the region, and support the sales and service of Thunder Creek trucks, trailers and service items.

Thunder Creek manufactures and sells a full range of mobile fueling and service solutions. This includes the original multi-tank, bulk diesel trailers that allow businesses to haul up to 920 gal. of diesel without a HAZMAT endorsement, and the company’s proprietary 2-in-1, closed-loop system for handling diesel exhaust fluid (DEF).

Farrell joins Thunder Creek after more than a decade of construction and agricultural equipment sales and support — both at the local dealer level, as well as on behalf of

manufacturers — having served both as a regional sales manager and a direct sales business manager for a major global construction equipment OEM.

“I know the unique challenges and opportunities that the construction, earthmoving and heavy off-road industries in the northeast present,” said Farrell. “I’m excited to travel the region and spend time with dealers and customers — showcasing new and more efficient ways to fuel and service equipment with Thunder Creek.”

“Drew has a long track record of connecting and streamlining relationships between dealers, customers, field service and product support teams,” said Larry Lea, vice president of sales, Thunder Creek Equipment.

“His experience in the heavy, off-road markets in the Northeast will bring our great Midwestern craftsmanship and real-world solutions to new partners throughout the region.”

Felling Trailers’ New Facility Will Speed Up Paint Process

“Back in 2016, when we first started our planning process, we were insistent that the performance characteristics exceed anyone else in the industry,” said Patrick Jennissen, vice president of sales/marketing of Felling Trailers Inc. “We have always prided ourselves on aesthetics, longevity and performance of our paint. Our customers have come to expect that from us, and we wanted to make sure that we exceeded their expectations.”

A staging area allows product to be placed prior to being loaded to a trolley. Additional features include an E-Room

— humidity and temperature-controlled rooms that provide the optimal environment for the application of powder coating and six 3-axis pneumatic lift systems — two for blast, two in the primer booth and two in the topcoat booth.

“We knew at the outset that solution would need to be flexible to allow us to more easily adapt to new technology up until it goes live and also beyond,” said Brenda Jennissen, CEO of Felling Trailer Inc. “This strategy will allow us to always being driving innovative coating solutions in the industry moving forward.”

Ignite Attachments Expands Its Snow Tool Lineup

Ignite Attachments added to its growing lineup of direct-to-you products with new snow tools.

The company launched a line of commercialgrade snow blades for heavy-duty snow removal tasks. Additionally, Ignite beefed up existing snow tool lines to provide more efficiency. This includes an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of three-point snow blowers, allowing operators to effortlessly aim snow from the comfort of their tractor seat, and a new 10-ft. snow pusher for maximum efficiency.

The new offerings deliver a convenient, confident online shopping experience with Ignite’s exclusive Fit Finder tool and fast, direct-to-you delivery so operations of any size can be prepared for winter work, the company said.

Commercial-Grade Snow Blades

Headlining Ignite’s winter tool lineup is the new snow blade series. The line is designed for commercial use and long life in the most extreme work conditions. Available in 72-, 84-, 94- and 108-in. models, these heavy-duty attachments allow skid steer and compact track loader operators to effortlessly cut through deep snow. It features a heavy-duty construction, with reinforced frame and attachment points, and a reversable hardened steel cutting edge for the confidence to tackle the heaviest snow year after year.

Operators can position the blade 28-degrees left or right with single-cylinder operation for maximum efficiency with each pass.

The snow blade line delivers fast ROI and a long service life due to high-quality components, including Faster Brand couplers and Parker hydraulic lines as well as 11-gauge steel construction. The adjustable spring-loaded blade trip helps protect attachment and machine from snowcovered obstacles to minimize downtime and repair costs.

Standard blade guide markers boost visibility and snowclearing precision.

Ignite snow blades work with standard hydraulic flow rates, allowing operators to use existing equipment and maximize versatility.

Hydraulic Rotation Snowblower Chute Option

For compact tractor operators, Ignite now offers an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of three-point snow blower attachments. This upgrade saves time and effort when blowing snow, allowing operators to change the direction of snow placement without stepping off their trac-

tor.

Ignite Attachments launched a line of commercial-grade snow blades for heavy-duty snow removal tasks.

The hydraulic rotation chute and three-point snowblower attachments operate off the tractor’s rear auxiliary hydraulics for better equipment utilization and ROI, according to the manufacturer.

Snowblower models work with compact tractors ranging from 15 to 65 hp and are available in 50-, 60-, 66- and 74-in. working widths.

10-Ft. Snow Pusher

Rounding out its line of snow tools for the 2023-2024 winter season, Ignite added a 10-ft. snow pusher option. The new width, like the existing 6-, 7- and 8-ft. models, is compatible with skid steer and compact track loaders and turns heavy snow into a lighter lift for the carrier. A replaceable rubber cutting edge provides a longer wear life and optimal surface protection.

Reversible and replaceable skid shoes double useful life for a low total cost of ownership and extended equipment lifespan.

The new 10-ft. working width is compatible with 50-95 hp compact loaders and 60-100 hp compact tractors.

Ignite Edge

Ignite Attachments offers quality-designed and manufactured tools that are easy to purchase, attach and use. In today’s fast-paced, connected economy, Ignite offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for compact equipment operators of any brand. Online ordering and direct shipping allow customers to shop confidently and on their own schedule. Ignite backs every attachment with a comprehensive warranty and excellent customer support, ensuring customers can rely on their tools for years to come.

Award Winners...

Contractors in West Receive 2023 ARTBA Safety Awards

Transportation construction companies from three states were recognized Sept. 11 for their outstanding employee safety programs during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) national convention in La Jolla, Calif.

The annual ARTBA “Contractor Safety Awards” promote worker safety and health as core values of the transportation design and construction industry.

In a new category, Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction was named safety program “Grand Champion.” The judges were impressed with the firm’s achievement of zero recordable injuries since 2022 as well as its ability to make immediate programmatic adjustments when potential hazards are identified.

Companies were competitively selected based on their accident and injury rates on worksites as reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);

their Experience Modification Rates (EMRs) as determined by their insurance carriers; and their safety programs.

Finalists from three categories based on personnel hours worked in the previous year were invited to present before a panel of industry judges.

Selection criteria also included demonstration of key principles of safety excellence including management commitment, employee participation, incident investigation, auditing, planning and risk assessment.

The awards were presented as follows:

• Less than 500,000 personnel hours — J. Banicki Construction Inc., Phoenix, Ariz.

• 500,000 - 1 million — Hawkins Construction Co., Omaha, Neb.

• Over 1 million — Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction, Draper, Utah

ARTBA Honors HNTB’s Yarossi With Prestigious George S. Bartlett Award

Paul Yarossi, an HNTB senior executive and the 2011 American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) chair, is the 2023 George S. Bartlett Award recipient. It was presented Sept. 12 during ARTBA’s national convention in La Jolla, Calif.

Established in 1931, the award recognizes an individual who “has made an outstanding contribution to highway progress.” It is co-sponsored by ARTBA, the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB).

Previous recipients include members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, former U.S. Department of Transportation secretaries, state transportation department secretaries, and top transportation design and construction executives.

Yarossi has been with HNTB for more than 50 years and involved in every aspect of the firm. He was president of HNTB Holdings, chief executive officer and chief operating officer of HNTB Corp., and chair of the firm’s aviation practice. He was instrumental in formulating HNTB’s training and development programs. He is an HNTB board member.

Yarossi’s volunteer leadership positions in ARTBA span decades. He’s been chair of the association’s Transportation Development Foundation since 2016. He first joined the ARTBA board in 2002 and was an ARTBA representative on the AASHTO-AGC-ARTBA Joint Committee from 20122020.

He is a long-time participant with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce transportation initiatives, serves on the Council on Competitiveness Executive Committee, and previously served on the Executive Committee of the Design Professional Coalition.

George S. Bartlett was regarded as the greatest single influence on the use of concrete roads in the United States. During his career, Bartlett was lauded by contemporaries in the concrete and highway industry for his energetic and innovative promotion of concrete roads. In 1909, he established experimental stretches of concrete pavement, working with the Wayne County Road Commission in Michigan — the birthplace of modern road construction — and the University Portland Cement Company.

The JPL Legacy: A Journey of Entrepreneurship, Growth

By Jessica Bueno

SPECIAL TO CEG

Based out of Brooklyn, N.Y., J. Pizzirusso Landscaping Corp., commonly known as JPL, started as a landscaping business. However, over the years, JPL has expanded its scope and diversified its services to cater to the five boroughs of New York. Despite its name suggesting a focus on landscaping, JPL now offers a wide range of high-quality services to meet the diverse needs of its clientele.

Founded in 1968 by Anthony Pizzirusso, J. Pizzirusso Landscaping Corp., has a rich history that dates back to its humble beginnings. In its early years, the company primarily dedicated its efforts to residential landscape maintenance and construction.

“I remember my two brothers and I coming out of school, we were always working here as part time, summer job, after school and whenever we had off, you know…We would come help my dad”, recalled Joseph Pizzirusso, vice president of JPL.

After dedicating a significant amount of time to the family business, the three Pizzirusso brothers were well-equipped to assume leadership roles in the year 2000, when the senior Pizzirusso chose to take a step back. This was the moment when the company underwent a rebranding and became known as JPL, with John taking on the role of president, Joseph serving as vice president and Chris assuming the position of COO.

The company diversified its operations by venturing into the realm of commercial work. This expansion involved collaborating with general contractors to take on projects, including building parks, such as the notable “MillionTrees NYC” initiative in New York City, which was undertaken in 2004.

“We made the decision to bid on that project, then the company shifted its focus towards other government-related

projects,” Joseph said.

In due time, JPL transitioned into becoming the prime contractor for major projects that were required by the city. As the company continued to grow, they started bidding on contracts to build city park’s infrastructure, rather than solely focusing on landscaping. This shift allowed them to assume the role of the general contractor for these projects. Eventually this experience led JPL to expand into civil/heavy construction work.

Taking On Multiple Projects

Currently, the organization is actively engaged in various significant projects. These include the Street Trees initiative, as well as the development of parks and playgrounds for the New York City Parks Department. Additionally, the organization is partnering with the Department of Design and Construction (DDC) to undertake a major civil project called “East Side Coast Resiliency.” This project aims to revamp the Manhattan sewer system and mitigate flood risks caused

by rising sea levels in lower Manhattan.

A little under two years ago, JPL took over the massive Hart Island public cemetery transformation project. During this time, the Island was transferred from the Department of Corrections to the Parks Department where JPL began working on maintenance, record keeping and burials. This is when a new division was created within the company, which focuses on exclusively managing the operations and maintenance of the island.

This was a new undertaking for JPL, which it successfully implemented.

Recently, JPL, in a joint venture with New York Concrete Corp., was awarded the “Gateway – Phase II West Rail Yards” project, which entails building a subway tunnel from 11th Avenue to 12th Avenue.

Hoffman Equipment, Volvo CE Deliver

JPL’s and Hoffman Equipment’s partnership can be traced back to the early 2000s, when Joseph connected with Territory Sales Manager Joe Barbara. Since 2004, both companies have been working together and continuing to strengthen their partnership.

“We picked Hoffman to start with because we trusted Joe,” John Pizzirusso said. “He’s always been a straight shooter, he always delivers. Although I’ve noticed substantial improvements in the parts and service department, Joe has always handled it all and assumed responsibility, so we haven’t really interacted too much with the parts and service.”

In addition to being highly satisfied with the service provided by Hoffman Equipment, JPL also is a loyal customer to Volvo CE, a brand that Hoffman added to its equipment profile in 2018.

Throughout the years, the company has purchased a total of eight machines from Hoffman, these being: four EWR150E, three EW60E, and one EC250E. JPL values the feedback from its operators, and they have spoken — Volvo Construction Equipment is high on their list when it comes to reliability and comfort.

The JPL team poses with Joseph Pizzirusso, vice president; John Pizzirusso, president; and Chris Pizzirusso, COO.

Tom Kelly, Former Eagle Power Service Representative, Dies

Tom Kelly, former Eagle Power service representative, passed away following a long illness.

Philip “Tom” Thomas Kelly was born in Lansdale, Pa., in 1952. He was drawn to laboring with his hands on machines for a profession. He worked at gas stations, garages and farms.

Mr. Kelly joined the CASE Power service department in 1987. Later as Eagle Power’s Parts and Service Sales Representative (PSSR) he helped customers familiarize themselves with their new machines upon delivery and was a trusted point of contact for any issues which arose during its operation.

He retired from Eagle Power in 2019.

“Tommy was a huge presence here at Eagle,” remembered Matt McDonald, president of Eagle Power & Equipment. “He had

a big, loud laugh and an even bigger big heart. Customers loved and trusted him for his extensive knowledge of our products and his honesty. Tommy told it straight, good news or bad, and his customers always appreciated it.”

Mr. Kelly was a kind soul who filled the room he was in with good humor, a friend to all who met him, the company said. He is survived by his beloved wife Linda and a tremendous family of children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

In lieu of flowers, donations in Mr. Kelly’s name may be made to: Fox Chase Cancer Center, 333 Cottman Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19111, online at www.foxchase.org or Crossroads Hospice and Palliative Care, 523 Plymouth Rd., Suite 225, Plymouth Meeting, PA 19462, online at www.crossroadshospice.com. 

JESCO Holds Methods of Excavation Days Event in Md.

JESCO held a Methods of Excavation Days event Sept. 13 and 14, 2023, at the Operators and Engineers Local 37 Training Center in Sparrows Point, Md.

The event showcased several models of John Deere and Ditch Witch equipment for Local 37 members and contractors, including the Deere 60G mini-excavator, 650K dozer and 245P excavator, and the Ditch Witch W12 hydro vacuum excavator, HX50 vacuum excavator, HX30G vacuum excavator and SK3000 skid steer.

“We are showcasing all the different equipment that JESCO has to offer, such as our John Deere excavators, skid steers, dozers, and our Ditch Witch line, including vacuum excavators and skid steers,” said Warren Hagenbuch, general manager of the underground division, JESCO.

Tom McGrail, operations manager of JESCO, added, “The event is great to give people views of the different technologies out there and provide options that they may have not realized before,” said Mike Funk, union training director, Operating Engineers Local 37 training school, agreed.

“It’s a great relationship between us and John Deere, Ditch Witch and JESCO,” he said. “And this event lets our members see the latest and greatest of the new equipment. It is good for relationship purposes among all contractors.”

Funk also spoke of the importance of seeing and learning about the latest technology available on equipment and how that can help its members do their jobs more productively and efficiently.

“This is a great chance for our members to learn new things and see new equipment because on some job sites it’s not always the latest machines being used, but you need to see this technology, to see what it can do for future jobs,” he said.

Derrick Ward, precision construction and technology manager of JESCO, said

Flood-Protection Plans Worth $298M Go to Hoboken Area

Longtime northern New Jersey residents will likely never forget Superstorm Sandy’s brutal impact in the fall of 2012. Now, new projects in the Meadowlands and Hoboken areas aim to reduce the chances of any future storms causing so much flooding in the region.

North Jersey’s flood protection plans took a key step forward Sept. 20 when the state announced new contracts totaling nearly $298 million to support two major flood-resilience projects. One is set to be built in the Meadowlands, with another in nearby Hoboken and parts of Jersey City and Weehawken.

The Meadowlands communities that will benefit include Little Ferry, Carlstadt, Moonachie, South Hackensack and Teterboro, reported NorthJersey.com.

Both projects will be designed to protect the areas from flooding caused by severe storms and rising sea levels — issues tied to worsening climate change impacts.

The contracts were announced by Shawn LaTourette, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), as part of Climate Week, designed to educate the public about climate change and actions to address its effects.

Better Protection Needed From More Destructive Storms

The Meadowlands building project aims to lower the risk of high water from rainfall and to accelerate recovery times from storm surge flooding within the Losen Slote Creek watershed in Little Ferry and surrounding towns, according to NJDEP.

Rebuild by Design Meadowlands (RBDMeadowlands) was created after Superstorm Sandy to reinforce flood resiliency in Little Ferry and nearby towns also hit hard by the 2012 storm.

The storm surge caused the Hackensack River to flood and “took over 70 percent of the town,” Little Ferry Mayor Mauro Raguseo told NorthJersey.com. Today, the low-lying and densely populated area remains vulnerable to flooding, especially given the growing impacts of climate change.

Union Paving & Construction in Mountainside, N.J., was awarded a $45.6 million contract to manage the project and is scheduled to begin construction sometime

this fall. The company plans to install new infrastructure to improve drainage in the watershed as well as build a second pump station and make channel improvements.

According to a NJDEP fact sheet, due to old age, the area’s network of drainage channels and ditches does not allow for adequate drainage after heavy rains. Construction crews will deepen and widen the East Riser Ditch, remove sediment and debris, and add native plants to the embankment to enhance biodiversity.

Union also will replace the railroad bridge over the East Riser Ditch in Carlstadt, which is one portion of the project among others that may temporarily affect traffic in the area.

“When completed, this project will have a measurable impact in preventing flooding in a large area of our community that has been prone to rising water in heavy rainstorms,” Raguseo explained. “Like any major infrastructure construction project there may be detours and disturbances for a period of time, but it will certainly be worth it in the end when we see the final result.”

With enough funds, NJDEP said the Meadowlands project may also include a new park and green infrastructure designed for municipally owned buildings in the area.

Larger Award Goes to Hoboken Project

The Rebuild by Design Hudson River (RBD-Hudson) project in Hoboken, across the river from Manhattan, will include building more than 9,000 linear ft. of floodwall and the installation of floodgates and construction of berms and levees — comprehensively referred to as “resist structures” — to provide barriers during extreme high tide and storm surge events, NJDEP noted.

E.E. Cruz & Co., a Whitestone, N.Y., contractor, was awarded a $251 million contract to both build these structures and blend them into the fabric of the project area, including Harborside Park in Hoboken (to be renamed Cove Park), by incorporating seating, planters, lighting and educational and artistic murals.

The project also will include a comprehensive stormwater drainage component through the installation of curb and sidewalk drains and the removal of impervious pavement.

Preliminary work and preparatory activities by E.E. Cruz got under way in August, NorthJersey.com reported. More significant construction efforts, such as utility relocation and the start of construction on the floodwall elements, are anticipated to begin in early 2024.

The first phase of the RBD-Hudson project was a Sewer Separation Modification contract, completed in July 2022 for about $7 million, which infrastructure to separate portions of the combined sewer system in Hoboken to ensure that water from a storm surge event will not undermine the resilience structures after they are constructed.

NJDEP said the sewer separation effort will lead to better protection of public health by preventing the mixture of wastewater with stormwater during flooding events. The work included sealing more than 100 existing manholes, installing more than 30 additional manholes and 40 catch basins, adding 4,000 linear ft. of stormwater pipe, and installing eight stormwater treatment devices.

Strengthening the resilience of communities affected by Superstorm Sandy was the goal of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) through its Rebuild by Design competition grant program, which launched in the summer of 2013 as a result of the devastation that resulted in New Jersey and neighboring states. Since the initial HUD award, both projects have received additional monies, including funds from the federal American Rescue Plan and FEMA’s Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities fund. 

Work Begins in Queens On New Power Converter Station

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and other officials gathered in Queens Sept. 19 for the ceremonial groundbreaking of a new power converter station, part of a major hydroelectricity project that will run through two of the largest waterways in the state’s North Country.

The 339-mi. Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) will deliver carbon-free electricity from northern Quebec to power over a million homes in New York City. Much of it will be laid along the bottoms of the Hudson River and Lake Champlain, according to North Country Public Radio (NCPR).

Officials hope the project will accelerate progress toward helping New York State reach its goal of 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 as required by the nationleading Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.

Hochul described that transition as necessary.

“We are now living the effects of what has happened over decades, with people not caring about what poison is being emitted into our waters, our streams, our air, and not caring about what is happening with all the discharges of carbon into our atmosphere.”

She also blamed extreme weather linked to climate change, like historic snowstorms and flooding, and severe air quality in the state over the last year.

Hochul said it is important to do what is right for future generations.

“We are called upon to plan the future, to make it a better experience, better existence for our children and grandchildren,” she noted. “Shame on us if we don’t act with urgency in this moment, because future generations will not look kindly upon us if we do not.”

The governor was joined at the power converter station’s groundbreaking by U.S. Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk, Quebec Premier Francois Legault, and Grand Chief Kahsennenhawe Sky-Deer of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke.

International and local applause followed the start of construction on the converter station for the transmission line, according to The Sun, another news source in the state’s North Country.

Once completed, the CHPE facility in Astoria, Queens, will convert 1,250 megawatts of clean energy from direct cur-

rent to alternating current power that will be fed directly into New York City’s power grid.

The competitively priced hydropower provided by CHPE from Québec is expected to reduce harmful emissions by 3.7 million metric tons — the equivalent of removing approximately 44 percent of the cars from New York City streets, the Sun news site learned.

In addition, the project also is expected to provide a total of $3.5 billion in economic benefits to New Yorkers and create approximately 1,400 family-sustaining jobs during construction, with a commitment to use a significant amount of union labor.

Remediation Efforts Prepared Site for Construction

Construction on the converter station officially began on June 22, including significant remediation work that was required to prepare the site for building the zero-emissions facility.

In total, the Sun noted that six tanks which previously stored 12 million gallons of No. 6 oil, as well as nearly 4 mi. of piping, were removed from the site. During peak construction, approximately 150 union workers will develop the facility with Kiewit Corp. serving as the project’s lead contractor.

Construction on CHPE first began last Nov. 30 in Whitehall, N.Y., and since then, project crews have been executing and preparing for construction activity throughout the eastern edge of the state, including in Plattsburgh where the North Country Chamber of Commerce quickly welcomed the official start of work during the Queens event.

“The North Country Chamber has been an active supporter of this historic initiative since its beginnings,” said chamber President Garry Douglas. “New York needs substantial new quantities of power going forward and Quebec has it. It is logical to take the already substantial and multifaceted Quebec-New York economic partnership to a new level of integration through this clean energy collaboration.

“It is important to meeting our needs and it is an important deepening of the QuebecNew York relationship,” he continued. “It was heartening to see Gov. Kathy Hochul and Quebec Premier Francois Legault joined side by side in the groundbreaking.” 

JPL Embraces Challenges of All Sizes, Construction Scope

Operators find the EWR150E perfect for work in the city due to its zero-tail swing, which complies with city regulations. The production JPL’s operators achieve due to Volvo’s speed, power and performance make Volvo Excavators their first choice.

The stars of the fleet are the rubber tire excavators, as Volvo CE is renowned for its wide range of such excavators.

“We get a lot of feedback from our operators, obviously,” Chris Pizzirusso said. “You know, we’re not out there as much using the equipment everyday like they do. The dependability and the warranty is amazing…And the fact that Joe answers his phone at 10 o’clock at night is amazing also.”

Standing Out From Competition

According to Project Manager Dionel Lopez, one of the advantages that sets JPL apart from others is the fact that it is a family-owned company. Since its establishment, the brothers who own the company have fostered a synergistic working environment that extends to the entire team. This dynamic contributes to JPL’s distinctiveness and success, he said.

“After we are awarded a project, Joe and Chris personally visit the site in order to gain a deep understanding of its requirements. Together, they develop a comprehensive plan and assemble the right team to ensure successful completion of the task at hand,” Lopez added.

It is clear that JPL has a strong sense of family values and they run their business according to those family values, which is one of the strengths JPL recognizes and has in common with Hoffman. Hoffman still operates as a family-

owned business with more than 100 years of history.

“You are not just a number at Hoffman. We value our customers as people and approach our relationships with our customers according to those family values that are so deeply rooted in Hoffman’s culture,” said Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Hoffman Equipment Eric Seikel.

In addition to its strong leadership, JPL distinguishes itself by embracing challenges of all sizes.

“We target more complex work. We’ve done curb and sidewalk contract for the city of New York, whether it’s a road reconstruction job, or a wetland restoration project, or a subway tunnel, or Hart Island. They’re more out of the box, complex projects, but we are able to do them,” Joseph Pizzirusso said.

The company presently has four very distinct divisions with more than 200 employees and growing. Whether it’s small-scale projects within the city or large-scale highway work, JPL is always ready to take on new opportunities. The company’s commitment to growth is evident through its collaborations with various agencies such as DDC, EDC, DEP, DOT, NYSOPRHP, MTA, and Amtrak, showcasing its willingness to expand and forge new partnerships.

Looking at the Future

Despite the ever-changing nature of the industry, JPL is prepared to adapt to future developments while maintaining its close-knit, family-oriented approach.

Chris Pizzirusso expressed his desire for the next generation, including his own children, to become involved in the business and contribute to its growth.

“All of our children, our boys, my youngest daughter wants to be an engineer, I’d love to see them in the business and growing from that. That would be my goal,” he said.

JPL will continue its trajectory of growth, just as it has done over the past decades. The company will embrace new challenges and projects while staying up-to-date of the everevolving times and advancements in technology. With partnerships like Hoffman Equipment and Volvo Construction Equipment providing the next generation of heavy construction equipment, JPL’s potential is limitless. 

Carhartt Continues Support of Skilled Trades With Donation

As the demand for skilled workers across the United States reaches fever pitch — and the industry at large expected to grow 10 percent by 2028 fueled by emerging technology, changing infrastructure, $18 billion-per-year climate disasters and other factors — Carhartt is championing the hardest-working community organizations empowering the workforce of tomorrow.

Through its “For the Love of Labor” program — a biannual initiative that supports nonprofit organizations as they educate, train and place workers into meaningful skilled trades — Carhartt donated all sales from Carhartt.com and Reworked.Carhartt.com on Labor Day, Sept. 4, and dedicating its fall 2023 grant to support veteran-led nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming TRades Academy program.

Through its “For the Love of Labor” program — a biannual initiative that supports nonprofit organizations as they educate, train and place workers into meaningful skilled trades — Carhartt donated all sales from Carhartt.com and Reworked.Carhartt.com on Labor Day, Sept. 4, and dedicating its fall 2023 grant to support veteran-led nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming Trades Academy program.

•

A total of $475,833 will be donated to disaster response nonprofit Team Rubicon and its forthcoming TRades Academy. This year’s effort surpassed the brand’s 2022 Labor Day initiative, with a roughly 7 percent boost from last year’s donation

Expected to continue developing over the next five years, Team Rubicon’s TRades Academy seeks to train military veterans transitioning to civilian life — as well as other workers — in disaster-standard licensed contracting skills like carpentry, electrical, plumbing, heating, ventilation and air conditioning so they can help rebuild homes in the communities that need it most.

“As the skilled labor shortage persists and much of the country is increasingly impacted by natural disasters, the task of rebuilding requires hard work and ‘heart’ work,” said Todd Corley, senior vice president of inclusion, sustainability and community at Carhartt.

“By investing in necessary job training for those who have served their country and have a passion for serving others, we’re helping to bridge the skilled trades gap, empower military veterans transitioning to civilian life and invest in stronger individuals, families and communities — both now and for years to come.”

The inspiration behind the TRades Academy was born from one of Team Rubicon’s missions to rebuild safe and resilient homes in communities affected by

disasters. With a highly-skilled volunteer force of 150,000 individuals and counting, Team Rubicon works to give military veteran volunteers the opportunity to continue service alongside first responders and civilians, as well as provide avenues towards a renewed sense of purpose, community and identity.

“Bound by Carhartt and Team Rubicon’s shared mission of service, this grant will not only serve future students of the TRades Academy, but also their communities, paving a more sustainable way to address the labor shortage long-term,” said Art delaCruz, CEO of Team Rubicon.

“We’re honored to extend our partnership with Carhartt, ensuring that our country is equipped with the hardworking hands needed to restore homes and futures.”

Founded in August 2022, Carhartt’s For the Love of Labor grant program has received more than 350 applications to-date, with 16 grants awarded thus far to eligible U.S.-based 501C3 designated organizations in recognized apprenticeship industries that serve at least 100 individuals annually.

With Carhartt’s funding, recipient organizations have been able to provide hardworking participants with durable gear, tools, childcare and transportation. Many organizations have also added new programs, instructors, resources, recruitment strategies, partner connections, and ultimately, graduated more apprenticeship students seeking work in the skilled trades.

Rockfall Protection Project Begins Near Harpers Ferry, W.Va.

Work got under way Sept. 12 near Harpers Ferry, W. Va., to install rockfall protection and stabilization measures associated with the existing slopes above a short stretch of northbound U.S. Highway 340 along the southern banks of both the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers.

Crews on the U.S. 340 Rockslide Project will conduct the work over the next three months while considering local traffic impacts and future development of the highway’s corridor through the scenic river valley.

Safety is at the core of this project, noted the West Virginia Department of Highways (WVDOH). The mountainous section of U.S. 340 between the Shenandoah River Bridge and the Virginia state line has a history of rock falls, according to the agency, which plans to remove any loose rocks, and scale off future rockfalls.

Last May, the WVDOH awarded a $10.2 million contract to Triton Construction from nearby St. Albans, W. Va., to stabilize the rockslide-prone mountain above U.S. 340.

The contract also calls for localized rock bolting and removal of potential large scale rockfall hazards. Additionally, the rockfall mitigation efforts on the slope will include draped and pinned mesh, ground-level rockfall barriers and on-slope rockfall attenuator systems.

The existing cut slopes in the project study

area are a product of U.S. 340’s construction in the mid-1950s and natural erosion along the Shenandoah River.

WVDOH noted that those slopes and the exposed rock of natural slopes vary in height from 150 ft. to more than 300 ft. above the roadway. The cut slopes exhibit varying degrees of rockfall activity that present potential hazards to drivers and hikers and require ongoing maintenance by the state agency.

Rockfall Mitigation Project Leads to Driving Detours

The highway is a high-traffic volume corridor carrying about 24,500 vehicles a day, including local, commuter and truck traffic from Virginia east through West Virginia and Maryland. Due to its recreational and historical significance in the region, U.S. 340 also experiences heavy traffic from seasonal tourism.

The U.S. 340 rockslide project area is approximately 1-mi.-long and is located in the Loudoun Heights region of the Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park, west of the West Virginia/Virginia border.

As a result of the rockfall control effort, a section of U.S. 340 between West Virginia Highway 671/Harpers Ferry Road and Chestnut Hill Road will be closed. Detours may be up to 22 mi. in length, adding an average of 35 minutes of travel time for many visitors.

Although the road is scheduled to be closed for 90 days, WVDOH said the project could take longer to complete.

In addition, the Appalachian Trail over the U.S. 340 bridge across the Shenandoah River will remain open throughout the construction but may be interrupted for no more than 20 minutes to allow helicopters to reach the work site.

A posted detour around the project area uses W. Va. 9, Va. 9, and Va. 671 to return to U.S. 340 on the Virginia side, and upgrades to the signalized intersection in Virginia also have been made.

WVDOH also is working closely with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) to coordinate the project.

Mountain Trail Closures Also Planned

The National Park Service (NPS), which manages the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park (NHP) at the confluence of the two rivers, also announced some closures ahead of the rock stabilization effort.

“Due to potentially hazardous conditions during rockslide stabilization work along U.S. 340, Harpers Ferry National Historical Park will temporarily close a portion of the Loudoun Heights Trail, certain climbing routes and a section of river shoreline,” according to an NPS news release. “The temporary closures

will continue for the duration of the work.”

The Loudoun Heights Trail will be blocked off 1 mi. east of its intersection with the Appalachian Trail through the Split Rock Overlook, the NPS added, while noting the Loudoun Heights Trail will be monitored throughout the project to see if further closures become necessary for the safety of hikers and construction workers.

The park service also announced that climbing routes in Virginia and West Virginia east of Chestnut Hill Road will be closed during the work, as well as a 0.8 mi. section of shoreline below the work where the Shenandoah meets the Potomac.

Harpers Ferry NHP plans to remain open and continue offering programming and events throughout the closure. Recreational activities and trails throughout the rest of the park will not be impacted.

The town became infamous in 1859 when abolitionist John Brown led a raid on the U.S. armory located there, an event that was a flash point in starting the American Civil War. As the northernmost point of Confederate-controlled territory during the war, Harpers Ferry became a key outpost of the South due to its location on the slopes between the two rivers.

The town also was an antebellum manufacturing and transportation hub in the 19th century but has long since reoriented its economy around tourism.

“This is an opportunity for contractors to get out and see some of the equipment,” he said. “We have different pieces of equipment that we are using. We are using a Topcon base and rover kit and we are showing how to check grades with the Rover out in the field. We have the John Deere 245P excavator with the X53x Topcon Automatic Excavator sys-

tem on that. We are showing people how to dig into a trench and use automation. This helps them to dig and stay on grade as well as the 650K Smart Grade Dozer, which they are using to grade a simulated road here.”

“The union halls are training their members in this technology because the companies have the equipment with this technology and when they need operators, their members will need to have a good knowledge of how this works,” he added.  CEG

Kubota Awards $600,000 in Its 2023

‘Kubota Hometown Proud’ Grants

Kubota continues its commitment to invest in hometowns across America with its Kubota Hometown Proud community grant program, awarding $600,000 in grants to five deserving communities.

Kubota Hometown Proud is an annual grant program that encourages municipalities and nonprofit organizations to partner with their local Kubota dealership to apply for grant funding consideration.

This year, the program launched a call-for-entries in April and received nearly 800 applications before Kubota selected its five $100,000 regional grant winners. Then in August, all five community revitalization projects were put up for a public vote to determine one lucky “Community Choice Grant” winner to receive an additional $100,000, which ultimately was awarded to Lucasville Community Park, a new park concept for a small town in Ohio that needed a community gathering place.

“Kubota is proud to give back to the communities where our dealers live and work,” said Todd Stucke, senior vice president of Kubota North America, and senior vice president of marketing, product support & strategic projects of Kubota Tractor Corporation.

“This year, the Kubota Hometown Proud grant program saw applicants from nearly every state in the country. We are incredibly honored to support this year’s projects and hope our funding and equipment will assist in bringing each winner’s vision to life to serve each hometown for many years to come.”

The 2023 Kubota Hometown Proud Grant Program winners include:

• Lucasville Community Park (Lucasville, Ohio): Every hometown needs a community gathering space, and that is what this project is all about: Together with their local Kubota dealer, Ricer Equipment, Lucasville Community Park is the 2023 Community Choice grant recipient. The $200,000 will be used to build an amphitheater and construct the next phase of the park that consists of building a ¼ mi. paved walking path to make the space accessible to all.

• Black Farms, Food and Families Project (Lebanon, Tenn.): The Black Farms, Food and Families project, in partnership with Absolute Kubota, the

New Farmer Academy at Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Tennessee State University (TSU), will use a Kubota Hometown Proud Grant to build an educational greenhouse, to help revitalize minority interest in agriculture through an heirloom “seed-tofeed” project.

• The Children’s Village (Coeur d’Alene, Idaho): “Every family deserves a village” is the belief of Children’s Village, a trauma-responsive safe haven providing crisis youth housing and family support services. Partnering with their local Kubota dealer, Coeur D’Alene Tractor, The Children’s Village applied for and won a 2023 Kubota Hometown Proud grant of $100,000.

• Hunger Task Force (West Milwaukee, Wis.): Hunger Task Force, Milwaukee’s Free & Local food bank, is a unique program that includes a 208-acre urban farm that grows fresh produce for local families. The Farm is supported by 5,000 volunteers and equipment from their local Kubota dealer, Lochen Equipment and the

Kubota Hometown Proud Grant will help to purchase much-needed equipment for the farm.

• The Giving Grove (Dallas, Texas): The Giving Grove community orchard program helps volunteers install and maintain fruit trees and berry bushes that provide a free source of fresh food for urban neighborhoods. With the support of Schaffer Kubota, this grant will allow GROW North Texas to purchase a truck and landscape trailer to transport trees and supplies to the 24 existing orchard sites around the region.

Kubota is honored to invest in hometowns across America and help make sustainable impacts for the future — from building agriculture centers and barns, to supporting community gardens and vocational farming programs — which is exactly what the brand’s hard-working equipment is built for. To date, the company has awarded $1.2 million in Kubota Hometown Proud grants.

IIJA Sets Highway, Airport, Bridge, Water Projects in Motion

The IIJA has set in motion highway, airport, bridge and water projects that were shelved over the decades as U.S. infrastructure sat neglected.

Its long-term goal is to release the backlog, build out broadband Internet nationally and prevent damage from climate change.

The amount most states will see as their transportation funding allotments equates to a nearly 30 percent increase over the next five years.

But while DOT wants to see existing transportation facilities repaired, many states are choosing to earmark funds for new construction.

What John Q. Public Thinks

Many Americans want officials to stop spending money on projects that affect their daily lives, StreetBlog reported. A poll by nonprofit Smart Growth America found that more than two-thirds believe highway expansions won’t fix congestion.

In fact, 67 percent of respondents either “strongly” or “somewhat” agreed that expanding highways takes years, causes delays and costs billions of dollars. The same number agreed that “widening highways attracts more people to drive, which creates more traffic in the long run.”

The average U.S. voter “understands the long-proven principle of ‘induced demand’ better than many U.S. transportation officials,” noted StreetBlog.

Induced demand “is real and people understand it,” said Steve Davis, associate vice president of Smart Growth, which co-commissioned the study.

“Only a small percentage believes the promise that new lanes and new roads magically make congestion and delay go away.”

Survey respondents also weighed in on what they believe does work to keep traffic moving — starting with repairing existing roads.

More public transportation options and building communities so people do not have to drive as much also were chosen as the most-effective solutions.

“Adding lanes to highways and freeways’ tied for secondto-last with “making streets more bike-friendly.”

More than 82 percent preferred congestion mitigation strategies other than building bigger and bigger roads. And they were about twice as likely to pick basic road repair and public transportation over building new lane miles, noted StreetBlog.

“There’s a political perception that [induced demand] is not understood,” said Beth Osborne, executive director of Transportation for America (TA).

That perception, as a result, is used as an excuse for not talking about the concept of induced demand, she said.

“We also have to ask how long people will accept this [kind of decision-making] before they’ll cut off their money.”

Meantime, there is very little new funding in the

infrastructure bill specifically dedicated to repair, said Steve Davis, assistant vice president of Transportation for America.

“And [there is] no new requirements on highway monies for prioritizing repair on roads and bridges,” said Davis.

He said the law “doubled down” on giving states flexibility with the bulk of their money and then hoping they would prioritize repair.

FHWA reported to the Associated Press that 12 capacityexpansion projects have received funding through competitive grants. In fact, AP reports that states have used their formula funding toward 763 such projects. The dollars directed to these projects come to more than $7 billion.

“Repair was one of our biggest disappointments in the infrastructure law,” wrote advocacy organization TA.

“The last decade has shown us repeatedly that too often states use their flexibility to build new things they can’t afford to maintain while neglecting to properly address their repair needs.”

This practice is one of the most fiscally irresponsible things our nation does with transportation policy, the organ-

ization believes.

“Every dollar spent on a roadway expansion project is both a dollar that was not spent on repair, and a dollar that created decades of future repair costs.”

Instead, the administration should work to ensure that the funds they control prioritize repair, while nudging states and metros toward the same goal.

“With a massive increase in guaranteed federal funding coming their way, they have no excuses left.”

Breaking Down the Bill

The advocacy organization detailed the two major funding programs typically drawn from for repair needs at the state level.

The National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) is tapped for approximately 53 percent of all states’ base highway formula appointment.

The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program is the most flexible source for infrastructure repairs at the state level.

NHPP funds are intended to be spent on the National Highway System’s roads and bridges, said TA.

It also is earmarked for transit or bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure in a national highway system corridor.

“Funding for the NHPP went up by 26 percent over the FAST Act,” noted the organization. That means more money is “theoretically” available for repair projects if states choose to spend it that way.

Surface transportation block grants can be used on repair projects as well as transit, biking, walking and nearly all other possible mode of surface travel.

TA also noted that many states don’t take advantage of that flexibility.

“There is also a separate new program for repairing bridges that’s already been in the news after FHWA released the first batch of funding to states.”

At $43 billion, the bridge formula program is meant to repair either NHS bridges or those owned by counties, cities or other localities.

States have to come up with 20 percent of the cost for bigger projects. The program can cover 100 percent of the repair of locally owned off-system bridges. This component of the program is meant to incentivize more funding toward vital smaller bridges, which many states tend to ignore.

However, funds under this repair program can be utilized for expansion and building new bridges, according to FHWA.

States are encouraged to improve highway bridges in poor condition and preserve or improve in-service highway bridges classified in fair condition.

The agency considers construction of a new highway bridge to replace one in poor condition, to be improving the condition of an in-service highway bridge.

“While states are free to neglect repair needs, the

The federal government should work to ensure that the funds they control prioritize repair, while nudging states and metros toward the same goal, maintain transportation advocacy organizations.

American drivers believe highway expansion won’t fix congestion, and they want officials to stop spending money on projects that impact their daily lives.

Maryland DOT, Concrete General Building Ramp System

MARYLAND from page 1

Concrete General Inc. in a Progressive Design-Build Project. The object of the job is to reduce travel time congestion headaches for commuters. The team is attempting to reduce congestion and increase safety without widening the freeway in either direction.

The total project investment is about $132 million and is 85 percent complete.

Besides the 12 locations where geometric improvements have been designed and constructed, the design-build team is installing a new ramp metering system at 22 northbound and 23 southbound entrance ramps along the nearly 30-mi. I-270 between Frederick and I-495.

Flashing yellow and green signals on the ramps will tell drivers when the best time to merge with traffic. This ramp metering system times traffic merges to better regulate the flow without causing major traffic back-ups on the roads entering onto I-270. Downstream Traffic Sensors will monitor real-time traffic conditions and help control traffic merges more efficiently. The signals are timed so just one car at a time is allowed to enter from each lane.

The MDOT team is led by Steve McVeigh, MDOT SHA construction project engineer, and Sean Campion, chief, of the MDOT’s Innovative Contracting Division.

In some locations, removing existing pavement markings and installing new pavement markings allowed for an additional travel lane using the existing roadway footprint. The work has required more than 25,000 tons of asphalt for resurfacing and reconstructing the existing lanes.

The project involved some complex working relationships.

“The entire project stretched 33 miles,” said McVeigh. “It involved six construction packages and a total of 16 different projects. We had to think outside of the box in order to creatively work with multiple crews and multiple inspectors at all times.”

The work team gave commuters a chance to test out the ramp metering system, before making it fully operational.

“We turned on the system on a northbound ramp of 270 during normal traffic first,” said McVeigh. “We didn’t want to activate it during commuting time. We are going to let people get used to it first before turning it on from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m.”

Mike Higgins, Concrete General’s design-build project manager, also praised the cooperation that occurred for the progressive design build team.

“MDOT SHA came up with a simple concept: what can you do to move the most traffic in the shortest time through the I-270 corridor within a fixed budget? That opened us up to consider many possibilities.”

The Concrete General-led design-build team included RK&K, a Baltimore-based engineering firm who was responsible for the design, and Bruce & Merrilees Electric Company, a New Castle, Pa.-based firm who was responsible for construction of the ramp metering for the project. This I-270 Innovative Congestion Management project is the first time ramp metering has been used in Maryland.

Construction team members are building a retaining wall to protect future traffic.

Workers are squeezing in more room for traffic on the busy I-270 in Maryland.

Workers for Concrete General excavate dirt to provide proper slopes for the road.

Seen here is the ramp metering system at 22 northbound and 23 southbound entrance ramps along the nearly 30-mi. I270.

Ramp Metering Allows Contractor to Save Time, Money

MARYLAND from page 50

“Ramp metering is a type of active traffic management, which manages the flow of merging traffic to make it more orderly and efficient,” said Higgins. “It eliminates most of the drivers who cut into traffic as quickly as possible and usually creates more congestion. Implementation of this active traffic management technique lengthened some merge lanes and added additional queue areas on some ramps. The ramp metering also used messaging to assist motorists on the entrance ramps for entering the traffic flow on I-270 more efficiently.

“We looked at both entrance and exit ramps for each of the interchanges from a traffic volume and crash data standpoint and were able to make minor modifications to the existing traffic movements to reduce congestion and improve throughput,” said Higgins. “We were also able to modify existing entry and exit points that changed the traffic flow that had been the source of numerous accidents in the past. Of course, nothing fouls up traffic like accidents.” Higgins believes this creative thinking resulted in some

sizeable savings.

“We did not have to widen the existing footprint of I-270 except in small areas,” he said. “That meant fewer utility relocations and fewer environmental impacts were required for the work. That along with the time savings for commuters from these improvements has resulted in a successful project for both the state and Maryland drivers.”  CEG

new law does uphold state of good repair programs for public transit,” said TA.

Walking Back the Rules

After much flack, in February FHWA changed position, saying it recognized the need for states to determine their own infrastructure priorities.

Critics in Congress claimed it was “another effort to exert its preferences to deprioritize projects that increased road capacity.”

Rick Crawford, House highways subcommittee chair, said, the policy “represented a complete departure from the federal-state partnership.”

He believed it was inconsistent with the law and was met with confusion from the states and concerns from industry stakeholders.

But industry “is already fixing it first,” maintained AGC. And while the guidance sounded practical, it actually limited the ability to add highway capacity.

Some 80 percent of the state funding already goes toward maintaining and reconstructing existing infrastructure, according to the association.

“Our interstates were built over 50 years ago, so it makes sense that states are now

largely focused on maintaining and modernizing them,” said the group.

“But it is also critical that states have the flexibility to add new capacity to meet the needs of a growing population.”

After a congressional review act was filed, the agency memo effectively rescinded the guidance encouraging emphasis on fix-it-first programs.

“I was glad FHWA recently issued an updated memorandum superseding and effectively reversing the Dec. 16, 2021, memorandum,” said Crawford.

In announcing the rescission, Shailen Bhatt, FHWA administrator, said different states have different needs in regard to transportation assets. These respective transportation needs “must be reconfigured and modernized, expanded and added, or retired and replaced,” she wrote. “FHWA recognizes and values the authority of states in deciding how to prioritize the use of their federal aid highway dollars.”

“The IIJA represents the largest nominal increase in highway funding in 65 years,” she said. “In the first 16 months of the IIJA, states committed funds to nearly 34,700 new projects, totaling $61.3 billion in formula and discretionary funds.”

The new construction is happening across the country, she said, adding at least one new project is under way in every congressional district.

Despite the notable progress in IIJA implementation, inflation has reared its ugly head, critically impacting construction.

She added that the agency will continue to “administer funds and programs consistent with all requisite statutory requirements and considerations.”

In March, the House highways and transit subcommittee heard from states and industry about how IIJA’s implementation has rolled out since late 2021.

“Inflation’s impact cannot be understated,” wrote Aric Dreher of ABC. “Input prices for construction projects have increased on average by 11.1 percent.”

Construction materials prices are up more than 39 percent since February 2020, he noted.

Add labor shortages and supply-chain issues and it is becoming increasingly difficult for construction projects to continue as originally planned, said Dreher.

Reducing Noise, Dust Emissions for More Sustainability

Excessive noise and dust emissions result in damage to health in the long term.

To protect not only employees on building sites, but also human and animal life in the surrounding area, Kleemann continuously develops new measures for reducing and efficiently containing noise and dust emissions. Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation thus work with a lower sound power level than their predecessor models.

Less Noise in Urban Areas

Particularly on construction sites in intra-urban areas, many people are exposed to noise emissions. Comprehensive noise protection is therefore all the more important here. However, regulations of local authorities with regard to the sound level of construction sites are not standardized. In order to optimize noise protection for residents and the construction site team independently of this, in the past Kleemann has dedicated a lot of develop work into the emission reduction of its plants.

As a result, the basic versions of the current machines operate at sound power levels up to 6.2 dB lower than the predecessor models — the perceived noise is thus 75 per-

cent lower. This is a clear improvement not only for users but also for residents.

Kleemann Solutions

The standard version of the Kleemann machines of the latest EVO2 generation already operates at 87/88 decibels (dB) at the operator’s stand. Optional noise protection packages reduce the sound power level of the complete plant by a further 3 dB and halve the perceived noise level once again. Categorization aid: An average pneumatic drill reaches approx. 120 dB, a vacuum cleaner 70 dB.

Sustainability in the Series

As the fan speed is regulated according to load, ambient temperature and degree of cooler contamination, even the basic configuration of the mobile jaw crusher MOBICAT MC 110(i) EVO2 is very low-noise. With the additional noise-protection package, the plant can be operated without noisedamping headsets — depending on the ambient conditions and local regulations. Even without the noise protection package, only 90 dB are measured directly at the machine. The noise protection package results in around 85 dB in the direct vicinity of the machine.

Effective Dust Containment

Not only efficient noise protection, but also containment of the dust development benefits employees, residents and the complete environment. This protects user and residents — and, ultimately, such measures also ensure greater acceptance of urban building sites. Kleemann, with a special belt cover and a water spraying concept, has developed two measures that contribute to dust reduction. Water pump systems can be connected to the intelligently positioned water spraying system so that, among other things, standing water bodies or tanks can be used. The cover means that the fine dust particles are no longer blown away but rather remain on the conveyor. The result is a clear reduction in dust emissions.

SENNEBOGEN Names Alta Equipment, TEC, Envimat as Top Dealers at Event

When Vinicius Casselli first planned to become a SENNEBOGEN dealer in Brazil, he knew that there were many opportunities for SENNEBOGEN, mainly in the forestry sector.

He initially thought that SENNEBOGEN could become as much as 30 to 40 percent of his sales. He felt that in this heart that since SENNEBOGEN was such a great product, he could turn around the markets’ perception.

What he didn’t know was that once the word got out that Envimat was going to be the SENNEBOGEN dealer in Brazil and that it was going to serve the industries properly, that it would grow to more than 80 percent of its business … in three short years.

At the recent ISRI show, Envimat was the top SENNEBOGEN dealer in the SENNEBOGEN America family. In the top three also were Alta Equipment and Tractor & Equipment Company.

According to Bruce Davis, director of demolition and material handling, “Alta Equipment appreciates the partnership we have with SENNEBOGEN. We were honored to be chosen to receive this award and look forward to more opportunities in the future.”

Similarly, Chad Stracener of Tractor & Equipment Company also was very pleased to once again repeat as one of the top three.

“SENNEBOGEN and TEC share many goals, with the most significant goal being providing first class customer support. SENNEBOGEN customers know that they are buying the best product on the market, and expect high uptime.

“It is our responsibility as a distributor to respond and repair when customers have a failure. We take that very seriously and will continue investing in parts inventory and technician training where we can make repairs faster. Constantino Lannes and his team at SENNEBOGEN have been great partners to TEC … we look forward to continued success.”

Envimat’s company name embodies its main areas of interest — the Environment and Material Handling. Starting with its strength in the forestry sector, it quickly got positive feedback from some of the largest pulp and paper mills in the country.

As Caselli explained it, many in the industry were not familiar with the capabilities of SENNEBOGEN material handlers. They kept trying to order machines that were too big for the job, adding unnecessary operating and maintenance costs while reducing their bottom line. He recalled a case where he met with a prospective client and he felt that a SENNEBOGEN was the machine that was needed for the job. After reviewing the job application specifications, Casselli recommended a SENNEBOGEN. The client was apprehensive but after some review, felt that perhaps a SENNEBOGEN would be the right machine and ordered six.

Cat MH3050 Material Handler Offers Performance, Comfort

The new Cat MH3050 material handler further expands the Cat material handler lineup and offerings for industrial applications.

The MH3050 provides enhanced performance, reliability and premium cab comfort. The advanced electrohydraulic system optimizes the balance of power and efficiency, improving cycle times to handle more material in the same amount of time, improving profit potential, the manufacturer said.

This Next Generation material handler is powered by the Cat C9.3B engine, capable of operating on up to B20 biodiesel. Meeting EU Stage V and U.S. EPA Tier IV Final emissions standards, the engine’s maintenancefree aftertreatment system lowers operating costs and maximizes machine uptime.

Fine-tune power requirements to the task at hand with the choice between Power, Smart and Economy modes, lowering fuel consumption without sacrificing machine performance.

Boom and stick offerings combine to provide up to 59 ft. 3 in. of reach, allowing operators to move more material without repositioning the machine. The MH3050 also offers high swing torque to quickly move material. Allowing the boom to freely travel up and down without using pump flow, standard SmartBoom allows the operator to focus on stick and grapple control for a more fuel-efficient cycle.

A range of attachments are available increasing operating flexibility, and an optional 25 kW generator is available ex-factory for magnet applications.

Technology

Standard technologies on the Cat MH3050 material handler elevate operating protection. E-fence prevents the machine from moving outside operator defined envelopes, while Cab Avoidance stops any potential contact between the attachment and cab.

Cat Payload helps to achieve precise load targets to improve operating efficiency. Pick up a load of material — with grapple and clamshell attachments and get a real-time weight estimate without swinging. By requiring a PIN code to start the engine, Operator ID inhibits the machine from unauthorized operation.

Designed for Safe Operation

Large tempered glass windows with small pillars on the reengineered cab design enhance all-around visibility and operating safety. Standard right-side and rearview

cameras, with the option to upgrade to 360degree vision, display video feed on the large in-cab touchscreen monitor to further enhance work area visibility. Thick, laminated, high-impact and impact-resistant windshields and roof windows meet EN356, P8B and P5A standards. The machine also is equipped with 1800-lumen LED lights on the chassis, boom, and stick, offering greater safety and full visibility while operating in the dark.

A ground-level shutoff switch stops all fuel to the engine and shuts down the machine. Standard boom and stick lowering check valves prevent reverse oil flow in the event of unexpected loss of hydraulic pressure, always keeping the front linkage securely in place. Various cab access options provide easy, safe, and quick access to the upper service area.

Reimagined Comfort

The MH3050 comes standard with a premium cab, featuring joystick steering to eliminate the steering column and improve forward visibility, legroom and ease of cab entry. All controls are conveniently positioned in front of and within easy reach of the operator to avoid unnecessary movements. A large, 10-in. high-resolution touchscreen monitor with jog-dial offers easy navigation of the intuitive operator controls. To get started easily every day, the machine automatically recalls joystick settings based on the Operator ID. The hydraulic cab riser with new dampening system improves allaround visibility and provides cushion from external vibrations.

Superior Industries Reveals New Look for Its Well-Known Chevron Wing Pulley

Superior Industries Inc., a manufacturer and global supplier of bulk material processing and handling systems, revealed a new look for its well-known Chevron Wing Pulley at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.

The CEMA-rated model is now designed and manufactured without a rounded cap on the wings.

“Users are going to get the same benefits of the original design, but the CEMA class gets a bit of a price reduction without that rounded bar,” said Mary Erholz, vice president of marketing and conveying product manager at Superior. “It’s also going to increase the service life of Chevron Pulleys, since the bare wings offer so much more wearable material.”

The v-shaped Chevron Pulley revolutionized expectations for wing performance after being invented by Superior in 2007. Traditional straight wing pulleys were always prone to trapping material, bending prematurely and notorious for damaging conveyor belting, according to Superior.

The Chevron Pulley’s benefits:

• Deflects oncoming fugitive material

• Fewer rocks trapped between wings

• No trapped rocks to puncture belting

• Constant contact between pulley and belt reduces noise

• Less abusive to belt splices and clips

CEMA Duty Chevron Pulleys are manufactured in diameters up to 36-in. and face widths up to 78-in. Mine Duty, Super Duty and custom engineered classes also are available.

not burned not only saves them money but reduces their carbon footprint. A Win-Win for all parties.

Thanks for Factory Support

Casselli also could not say enough about the support he and his team get from SENNEBOGEN.

“First of all, we send our technicians for the free factory training at the SENNEBOGEN Training Center in Charlotte. I also appreciate that they have a training team that is fluent in Spanish. Our techs come back with a thorough understanding of the equipment and how it was designed and how it works. As well, their trainers are not just ‘teachers’, they are technicians themselves. This creates the best possible learning scenario — technicians showing other technicians.”

As well, Caselli was very thankful for the ongoing support they get directly from Constantino Lannes, president of SENNEBOGEN America. Besides being fluent in Spanish and Portuguese, he calls Constantino a “SENNAHOLIC.’”

“Whether it is one machine or 10 machines, he brings enthusiasm to each customer. He also generously shares his knowledge and our customers really appreciate it.”

SENNEBOGEN Secret Sauce

According to Casselli, the design of the machine is one of the ingredients of the secret sauce to Envimat’s success.

“The way they designed the machine, with off-the-shelf parts makes it easier for our customer to ensure their uptime as they can get Cummins and Bosch parts everywhere. Without computers to fail, uptime is always at a maximum.”

Caselli remembers getting a call from an operator where the screen shut down, but the machine kept on working as there was no computer in the background keeping it from being operational. He was surprised that he could continue to load logs and then realized the benefit of not having a computer-controlled machine.

Getting Ready for Repeat

Although Envimat stocks all the parts and keeps investing in building their parts inventory, Casselli feels that his customers appreciate the fact that the parts are not proprietary and can get almost everything through their own supply chain. Even still, he continues to build his inventory of parts to ensure that his customers can rely on his support when they need it. This according to Casselli is a “winning strategy” and he loves winning. His plan to repeat next year as the Dealer of the Year is clear.

“I’ve always said that Plan B was to make sure that Plan A worked and that is the course of action that we are following. Our team sleeps, eats and thinks SENNEBOGEN 24 hours a day.”

He also knows that from his experience and success in the forestry sector, that their clients count on them as their equipment partner.

“To meet that goal”, continued Casselli, “we are building a team of purpose-built market specialists to work within our scrap, waste and port industries and bring them purpose-built solutions. Our objective is to become a ‘mini factory-styled’ SENNEBOGEN right here in Brazil. This will enable us to repeat next year and for years to come.”

Geith Introduces New Mechanical Quick Coupler

Buckets can be used in reverse (shovel mode) on your excavator allowing the operator to excavate and backfill against walls, foundations and under pipes.

With demand high for mechanical quick couplers for compact machines from 1 to 8 ton in the rental and other markets, the experienced Geith engineering team have been busy designing a superior mechanical quick coupler.

This new mechanical quick coupler lets you unlock and release your attachment in one easy operation while also letting you safely lock your attachment without leaving the cab.

Why Consider This Mechanical Quick Coupler?

If not investing in a hydraulic quick coupler on a machine to change attachments, a safe alternative for you and your customers is a mechanical quick coupler. One that is IS013031 compliant, safe, requires one visit to change attachments and where no additional safety pin is needed. 

A self-tightening design ensures that attachments stay tight and safely locked for the lifetime of the coupler.

Change attachments in one visit. Safely locking attachments without leaving the cab, making for a safe and efficient working environment (no safety pin needed).

The Geith mechanical quick coupler picks up original direct mount OEM excavator buckets, no non-standard bucket design and configuration needed.

Available as part of a package with digging/ditching buckets and main pin thumbs made to correct weight and specification for compact machines

Felling Trailers Opens New Powder Coat Paint Facility

Felling Trailers Inc. announced the opening of its new powder coat paint facility at 1525 Main St. S in Sauk Centre, Minn. The 92,000-sq.-ft. facility will speed up the throughput of trailers, as paint has historically been a bottle neck in the production process. The new facility will alleviate this issue with its higher output capacity.

This new facility will allow for application of a powder coat paint finish to trailers and components through an automated process utilizing GEMA Technology with a ThermaTron-X-Inc. (TTX) sensor trolley track system.

Felling Trailers’ New Facility Will Speed Up Paint Process

“Back in 2016, when we first started our planning process, we were insistent that the performance characteristics exceed anyone else in the industry,” said Patrick Jennissen, vice president of sales/marketing of Felling Trailers Inc. “We have always prided ourselves on aesthetics, longevity and performance of our paint. Our customers have come to expect that from us, and we wanted to make sure that we exceeded their expectations.”

A staging area allows product to be placed prior to being loaded to a trolley. Additional features include an E-Room

— humidity and temperature-controlled rooms that provide the optimal environment for the application of powder coating and six 3-axis pneumatic lift systems — two for blast, two in the primer booth and two in the topcoat booth.

“We knew at the outset that solution would need to be flexible to allow us to more easily adapt to new technology up until it goes live and also beyond,” said Brenda Jennissen, CEO of Felling Trailer Inc. “This strategy will allow us to always being driving innovative coating solutions in the industry moving forward.”

Ignite Attachments Expands Its Snow Tool Lineup

Ignite Attachments added to its growing lineup of direct-to-you products with new snow tools.

The company launched a line of commercialgrade snow blades for heavy-duty snow removal tasks. Additionally, Ignite beefed up existing snow tool lines to provide more efficiency. This includes an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of three-point snow blowers, allowing operators to effortlessly aim snow from the comfort of their tractor seat, and a new 10-ft. snow pusher for maximum efficiency.

The new offerings deliver a convenient, confident online shopping experience with Ignite’s exclusive Fit Finder tool and fast, direct-to-you delivery so operations of any size can be prepared for winter work, the company said.

Commercial-Grade Snow Blades

Headlining Ignite’s winter tool lineup is the new snow blade series. The line is designed for commercial use and long life in the most extreme work conditions. Available in 72-, 84-, 94- and 108-in. models, these heavy-duty attachments allow skid steer and compact track loader operators to effortlessly cut through deep snow. It features a heavy-duty construction, with reinforced frame and attachment points, and a reversable hardened steel cutting edge for the confidence to tackle the heaviest snow year after year.

Operators can position the blade 28-degrees left or right with single-cylinder operation for maximum efficiency with each pass.

The snow blade line delivers fast ROI and a long service life due to high-quality components, including Faster Brand couplers and Parker hydraulic lines as well as 11-gauge steel construction. The adjustable spring-loaded blade trip helps protect attachment and machine from snowcovered obstacles to minimize downtime and repair costs.

Standard blade guide markers boost visibility and snowclearing precision.

Ignite snow blades work with standard hydraulic flow rates, allowing operators to use existing equipment and maximize versatility.

Hydraulic Rotation Snowblower Chute Option

For compact tractor operators, Ignite now offers an optional hydraulic rotation chute for its line of three-point snow blower attachments. This upgrade saves time and effort when blowing snow, allowing operators to change the direction of snow placement without stepping off their trac-

tor.

Ignite Attachments launched a line of commercial-grade snow blades for heavy-duty snow removal tasks.

The hydraulic rotation chute and three-point snowblower attachments operate off the tractor’s rear auxiliary hydraulics for better equipment utilization and ROI, according to the manufacturer.

Snowblower models work with compact tractors ranging from 15 to 65 hp and are available in 50-, 60-, 66- and 74-in. working widths.

10-Ft. Snow Pusher

Rounding out its line of snow tools for the 2023-2024 winter season, Ignite added a 10-ft. snow pusher option. The new width, like the existing 6-, 7- and 8-ft. models, is compatible with skid steer and compact track loaders and turns heavy snow into a lighter lift for the carrier. A replaceable rubber cutting edge provides a longer wear life and optimal surface protection.

Reversible and replaceable skid shoes double useful life for a low total cost of ownership and extended equipment lifespan.

The new 10-ft. working width is compatible with 50-95 hp compact loaders and 60-100 hp compact tractors.

Ignite Edge

Ignite Attachments offers quality-designed and manufactured tools that are easy to purchase, attach and use. In today’s fast-paced, connected economy, Ignite offers a reliable, cost-effective solution for compact equipment operators of any brand. Online ordering and direct shipping allow customers to shop confidently and on their own schedule. Ignite backs every attachment with a comprehensive warranty and excellent customer support, ensuring customers can rely on their tools for years to come.

Contractors in West Receive 2023 ARTBA Safety Awards

Transportation construction companies from three states were recognized Sept. 11 for their outstanding employee safety programs during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) national convention in La Jolla, Calif.

The annual ARTBA “Contractor Safety Awards” promote worker safety and health as core values of the transportation design and construction industry.

In a new category, Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction was named safety program “Grand Champion.” The judges were impressed with the firm’s achievement of zero recordable injuries since 2022 as well as its ability to make immediate programmatic adjustments when potential hazards are identified.

Companies were competitively selected based on their accident and injury rates on worksites as reported to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA);

their Experience Modification Rates (EMRs) as determined by their insurance carriers; and their safety programs.

Finalists from three categories based on personnel hours worked in the previous year were invited to present before a panel of industry judges.

Selection criteria also included demonstration of key principles of safety excellence including management commitment, employee participation, incident investigation, auditing, planning and risk assessment.

The awards were presented as follows:

• Less than 500,000 personnel hours — J. Banicki Construction Inc., Phoenix, Ariz.

• 500,000 - 1 million — Hawkins Construction Co., Omaha, Neb.

• Over 1 million — Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction, Draper, Utah

ARTBA Honors HNTB’s Yarossi With Prestigious George S. Bartlett Award

Paul Yarossi, an HNTB senior executive and the 2011 American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) chair, is the 2023 George S. Bartlett Award recipient. It was presented Sept. 12 during ARTBA’s national convention in La Jolla, Calif.

Established in 1931, the award recognizes an individual who “has made an outstanding contribution to highway progress.” It is co-sponsored by ARTBA, the American Association of State Highway & Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the Transportation Research Board (TRB).

Previous recipients include members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, former U.S. Department of Transportation secretaries, state transportation department secretaries, and top transportation design and construction executives.

Yarossi has been with HNTB for more than 50 years and involved in every aspect of the firm. He was president of HNTB Holdings, chief executive officer and chief operating officer of HNTB Corp., and chair of the firm’s aviation practice. He was instrumental in formulating HNTB’s training and development programs. He is an HNTB board member.

Yarossi’s volunteer leadership positions in ARTBA span decades. He’s been chair of the association’s Transportation Development Foundation since 2016. He first joined the ARTBA board in 2002 and was an ARTBA representative on the AASHTO-AGC-ARTBA Joint Committee from 20122020.

He is a long-time participant with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce transportation initiatives, serves on the Council on Competitiveness Executive Committee, and previously served on the Executive Committee of the Design Professional Coalition.

George S. Bartlett was regarded as the greatest single influence on the use of concrete roads in the United States. During his career, Bartlett was lauded by contemporaries in the concrete and highway industry for his energetic and innovative promotion of concrete roads. In 1909, he established experimental stretches of concrete pavement, working with the Wayne County Road Commission in Michigan — the birthplace of modern road construction — and the University Portland Cement Company.
