OSHAResponds toAlarming Number of Trenching Deaths

Construction Industry Supports Agency’s Enhanced Enforcement Efforts to Protect Workers

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

After charting an alarming 22 trenching deaths the first half of this year, OSHA has made trench safety a national emphasis on inspections. In July, the agency announced it was launching enhanced enforcement initiatives with a goal of protecting workers from known hazards. Industry professional associations support the move.

OSHA called on all employers engaged in trenching and excavation activities to act immediately “to ensure that required protections are fully in place every single time their employees step down into or work near a trench.”

Doug Parker, assistant secretary for occupational safety and health, said in a matter of seconds workers can be buried under thousands of pounds of soil and rocks in an unsafe trench.

He wants to see the increase in the number of workers needlessly dying and suffering serious injuries in trenching incidents stopped.

“Every one of these tragedies could have been prevented had employers complied with OSHA standards,” said Parker. “There simply is no excuse for ignoring safety requirements to prevent trench collapses and cave-ins.”

The agency reported that 22 deaths in the first half of 2022 surpasses the total of 15 in 2021.

In June, two workers aged 20 and 39 died in Jarrell, Texas, when the unprotected trench more than 20 ft. deep collapsed upon them as they worked.

OSHA noted that trench shields sat unused beside the excavation. This incident prompted the agency to announce the enhancements.

To stress the dangers of disregarding federal workplace safety requirements, OSHAenforcement staff will consider every available tool at the agency’s disposal, said the agency.

“These actions will place additional emphasis on how agency officials evaluate penalties, including criminal referrals for federal or state prosecution to hold employers and others accountable.”

OSHA compliance officers will perform trench inspections nationwide and may stop by and inspect any excavation site during their daily duties.

Industry Gives Its Blessing

The National Utility Contractors Association (NUCA) marked this year’s Trench Safety Stand Down by reinforcing the idea that safety training is key to an employee’s daily activity.

The association believes safety training also is critical to a well-functioning utility construction job site.

“Time and time again, evidence shows that the key to significantly reducing the risks associated with our industry is employee training and reinforcement,” said Mike

In June, approximately 23,000 workers employed by 345 companies on 1,978 job sites participated in a stand down training event.

This year, the updated A10.12 excavation safety standard, Safety Requirements for Excavation, was approved. It details the design of an excavation plan and applies to all open excavations, including trenches.

Flowers, NUCA’s director for safety, training and education.

This year, according to the association, 23,000 workers employed by 345 companies on 1,978 job sites participated in a stand down training event the week of June 20 to 24.

The goal of the event is to provide those who work in and around trenches and excavations with information about current excavation requirements and safety procedures.

OSHA and the North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA) joined forces to host the Colorado Trench Safety Summit in early October.

The free event included classroom training, roundtable discussions and live demonstrations.

A similar event took place in Southlake, Texas, with the North Texas NUCA chapter in September.

Early this year,ANSI announced approval of the updated A10.12 excavation safety standard, Safety Requirements for Excavation.

The standard details how to design an excavation plan, including responsibilities, training and duties, assessing underground utilities, water accumulation and stability of adjacent structures and protecting workers from falls, caveins and confined spaces.

It applies to all open excavations, including trenches, made in the earth’s surface that require worker and/or property protection.

Repeat Business Fuels W.D. Hewins & Sons’ Success

In 1952, Walter D. Hewins Jr. started doing some excavating work with an old Cletrac crawler tractor in the Ashley Falls area (western Massachusetts’ Berkshire Mountains area) primarily doing work for local farmers cleaning up hedgerows or the occasional light site cleaning job. His company was known as Hewins Construction.

In 1969, Hewins was joined by his son, Walt, who is today referredtoasWaltSr.Thiswasthe younger Hewins’ first job, and he was Hewins Construction’s first employee.

At that time, the company was still doing quite a bit of farm work and some farm drainage work, but in the 1970s the economy in western Massachusetts and western Connecticut started to change. Rather than being driven by agriculture, a construction boom started that was driven by vacation and secondary homes for the wealthy from New York City and Boston.

Talking about the early days and his dad’s business, Hewins Sr. said, “I still have a receipt for $750 that we charged to install an entire septic system.”

That was in the early 1970s. In the mid’90s, Hewins Sr.’s sons joined the operation, and the company — which now does commercial and residential site preparation, utility work and access road construction in western Massachusetts, western Connecticut and eastern New York State — became known as W.D. Hewins & Sons.

The construction of resort properties and high-end homes started to boom, and W.D. Hewins & Sons built its reputation on its ability to jump through hoops and meet the challenges of what could be some very challenging customers. Along with meeting those challenges it also developed a reputation for doing excellent work.

“We have had some very wealthy clientele who make some interesting decisions,” Hewins Sr. said. “I’ve had customers walk out to us in the middle of a project and say ‘you know I got thinking about it last night, I want to add a four-stall garage and four apartments to the project’ like it was absolutely nothing, and we need to have the flexibility to move on with the project and get that done for them.

“During the ‘70s we made some connections with some major developers. Gilligan

Development was one of them who were landing some of the major projects in the area. They liked the work that we did for them, and we became their contractor of choice. We have prided ourselves on the quality of work that we do and as a result, we get a tremendous amount of repeat business. I’m still doing work today for people who originally had work done by my father.”

Today, W.D. Hewins & Sons has a fleet of 15 earthmoving machines, employs between six to 10 people, and typically has as much work as it would like to have. A big part of the success of W.D. Hewins & Sons has been using reliable construction equipment from reliable dealers who give it support that it can count on. Since the 1990s, when the company bought its first Drott, it has counted on Case. In the 1980s, it bought a couple of Case model 880 machines and not long afterward, purchased a Case 1080, which is still in service today.

“We have been very loyal to the Case product and Case dealers over the years becausethemachineshavebeenconsistently trouble-free and, on the rare occasion that we need support, we get very good service. I remember an instance a few years ago we were having a problem with hydraulic pressures on a hammer. It was a complicated issue. To be honest, I thought it was going to take weeks to resolve.

“Monroe sent out a technician and had us up and running in just a couple of hours. For a period of time, we were dealing with Monroe Tractor in Albany, N.Y., which was a little bit of a distance for us, but over the last few years, Monroe has done some major expansion into New England putting a facility in Worcester, Mass., and most recently one in Hartford, Conn., which is the store that is now serving us.

“Most recently, we purchased a Case CX160D 36,000-pound machine and a CX210D 48,000pound machine, both of which we purchased from the Connecticut store. We have already put 5,000 hours on these machines, and they have operated virtually troublefree.”

W.D. Hewins & Sons currently is involved in a one-year project at Indian Mountain School’s new field house and soccer athletic field.The field house is 64,000 sq. ft.

Pa. TeamAims to Make Road Project Test Bed for Innovation

When construction gets under way in 2023 on southwestern Pennsylvania’s Mon-Fayette Expressway, the new roadway will provide more than a new travel connection for residents of the Monongahela Valley.

As reported by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Oct. 10, the new toll road, designed to run between Jefferson Hills and Duquesne, will serve as a test bed for innovative transportation construction techniques that could use noise reduction walls to reduce pollution and produce electricity from traffic-generated road vibrations for road signs, among other goals.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike, which is building the Mon-Fayette toll road first discussed in the 1960s, approved a $2.7 million agreement in early October with the University of Pittsburgh for a series of pilot projects during the highway’s construction, the Post-Gazette reported.

Turnpike engineers have been working for the past 18 months with the Impactful Resilient Infrastructure Science and Engineering (IRISE) consortium, based at Pitt’s Swanson School on Engineering, to select the projects.

“We were looking for something that’s actually doable and not some pie-in-the-sky kind of thing,” explained Julie Marie Vandenbossche, a professor of civil engineering and former head of IRISE. “This is the largest thing we’ve done through IRISE.”

The turnpike has been part of the consortium since it formed in 2016 as a collaboration among the university’s engineering school, construction firms and government transportation agencies, noted Ed Skorpinski, an engineer project manager of the turnpike. After watching the group work on smaller projects such as how to reduce and respond to landslides, the agency decided to use the association to design and test innovations, he said.

“We thought [building the expressway] could be a unique test bed,” Skorpinski told the Post-Gazette.

The plan, he explained, is to test ideas — many of which have not been tried before — during construction of the expressway and decide whether they produce positive results for a reasonable price. If so, they can then be included in future projects, Skorpinski said.

Quartet of Pilot Projects toBe Tested

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is expected to advertise for bids for the first section of the toll road before the end of the year, while the test specifications are still being developed, so pilots likely will be included in later segments of the project, according to the Pittsburgh news source.

The southern leg of the Mon-Fayette highway, which will be built sequentially from Jefferson Hills north with more than a half dozen construction contracts, is predicted to see a 2028 completion.

The four pilot projects will be:

• Redesigning noise walls using a hollow, honeycomb-like material to reduce sound and treating it with a catalyst that will capture nitro-

gen oxides generated by vehicles with combustion engines. The process will convert the pollutants into harmless nitrates that will dissipate naturally, like a car’s catalytic converter. Sound barriers will be included toward the northern end of the project, meaning their exact locations have not yet been decided. Skorpinski said the pilot will determine how effective the system is at reducing pollution, adding, “It could have a good benefit in the future.”

• Using the natural vibrations that vehicles cause on road surfaces to generate electricity for road signs. Researchers will test whether the sensors to capture vibrations work better with asphalt or concrete surfaces before they choose a location to try the system, which also would use recycled plastic. The Post-Gazette reported that this pilot will test the concept in small sections but if it works it could be utilized on longer stretches of the highway, Skorpinski said.

• Creating a digital, three-dimensional model of a 1-mi. section of the highway as it is being constructed. The model is designed to simulate and monitor the wear and tear on the road over the years. “It will definitely help to alert us to when problems are developing,” explained Skorpinski. “It won’t slow down what is happening. It will help to let us know when we should be paying attention.”

•The last pilot will test which method works best for recharging electric vehicles as they drive over the road surface. The process involves installing charging elements just under the surface that are activated when electric vehicles drive over them and recharge their batteries as they travel. This trial likely would be part of the construction of the northern section of the highway, from Duquesne to Monroeville, which is not expected to begin until 2030 or later.

Research Fun, But Important

The Post-Gazette noted that the turnpike already is working with the Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification (ASPIRE) program at Utah State and the Ohio Turnpike to develop a demonstration project at the Pennsylvania-Ohio border over the next five years.

IRISE Director Joe Szczur called turnpike test projects “the basis of where the IRISE consortium is heading.”

“This is a good example of the kind of things we can do,” he added. “These are the things [road designers] need. That’s the reason IRISE was created.”

Or, as Vandenbossche told the Post-Gazette, “This is when research becomes fun.”

Skorpinski said trials are important for the turnpike, which manages more than 500 mi. of roads across Pennsylvania.

“This is stuff that hasn’t really been done in this region,” he explained. “Hey, if we find out this is something that works, we [will] absolutely look to incorporate it throughout our system.”

CB Con-Agg Partners With Veterans Organization to Clear Land for Homes

By Hannah Comeau and Brittney Christopher

SPECIAL TO CEG

CB Con-Agg, a division of Cleveland Brothers, recently partnered with theVeterans Outreach of Pennsylvania (VOPA) to clear 5 acres of land to make room for 15 tiny homes dedicated to homeless veterans in central Pennsylvania.

VOPA is a nonprofit organization with a mission dedicated to combating homelessnessamongveteransbyprovidingthesupport and services needed to promote an empowered life. On top of VOPAproviding tiny, livable homes to homeless veterans, veterans also will have access to systems of care, employment and the community.

On site at the 15 tiny homes, there will be a VOPA Community Center where veterans will be able to meet with family, friends and service providers to be guided through the support services offered by the community. These resources are designed to offer the physical and mental support needed to help these veterans transition back to a successful, healthy and independent life, which VOPA refers to as the transitional therapeutic model.

Beginnings of VOPA

Tom Zimmerman, founder and president of VOPA, knew he and his wife wanted to devote their retirement to giving back to a community in need. When Zimmerman’s father, a veteran, passed away, it was time to make his ambitions a reality.

One night while scrolling Facebook, Zimmerman came across a friend’s video of a community project with newly built tiny homes dedicated to homeless veterans in Wisconsin. This sparked an idea for Zimmerman, and he knew this would be the perfect thing to bring to life in central Pennsylvania. Zimmerman then started reaching out to other organizations, as well as the Wisconsin team for guidance and support.

Shortly after the project was launched, the 5-acre land was donated from Harrisburg local Peggy Grove.

“We owe it to our veterans, to help those who have fallen on hard times. If you were willing to sacrifice your life for our freedom, you deserve a helping hand. The Veterans Outreach of Pennsylvania will help our veterans who are experiencing homelessness and help with the transition into living an empowered life they deserve,” said Zimmerman.

CB Con-Agg Donates Crusher for Land Clearing

VOPA launched the project with a groundbreaking ceremony on Veterans Day in November 2021 with nearly 100 volunteers in attendance. After saluting their veterans, the volunteers lined up to clean the site in preparation of land clearing. Once that phase was completed,VOPAused donated equipment from the community to clear the land months later in April 2022.

Among the equipment was a crusher donated by CB ConAgg and Cleveland Brothers.The track portable jaw crusher,

a Metso Outotec LT106, broke down concrete foundations and walls on the land, originally belonging to a now-closed steel mill.

The mobile crusher, designed to transport easily and break down even the toughest materials, was just what VOPA needed to keep the project running smoothly. This same crusher repurposed the concrete materials into road base, which will later be used onsite to create an access road — saving VOPA both time and money.

The best part? Active military members and volunteers from the Air Force Red Horse Squadron solely operated the crusher. Due to the dedicated volunteers and reliable equipment, the lot clearing exceeded expectations and only took 15 days to complete.

Ways to Support

While the crusher was only a portion of VOPA’s latest project, CB Con-Agg and Cleveland Brothers were honored to contribute to such a worthy cause.

Tom Jamieson, CB Con-Agg general manager, said, “Although Cleveland Brothers covered the cost of transportation and did not charge for the use of the equipment, what we did was a very small part. It’s a machine; it had positive results, and we are happy to participate.”

In addition to the recent donation, CB Con-Agg and Cleveland Brothers also proudly employs veterans and active military servicemen and women.

VOPA plans to begin construction in the spring 2023. If interested, there are many ways to get involved. From volunteering your time and skillsets to sponsoring a brick, bench or flag, there are many ways to support VOPA and our veterans.

Nonresidential specialty trade added 11,200 net new jobs, while nonresidential building added an additional 2,400. The number of heavy and civil engineering jobs decreased by 500 positions.

The construction unemployment rate decreased to 3.4 percent in September. Unemployment across all industries fell from 3.7 percent in August to 3.5 percent in September.

“Today’s employment report was terrific, which in this upside-down, inside-out economic environment means that it was truly terrible,” said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu. “Stock, bond and other investors are hunting for signs of slowing economic activity, particularly with respect to the labor market. Those signs did not emerge today. Despite elevated compensation costs, employers continue to hire aggressively. Not only does that help support additional inflationary pressure, but it also sends a signal to Federal Reserve policymakers that further aggressive rate tightening is necessary. If rates rise too dramatically, and they have already expanded substantially, the recovery in nonresidential activity would likely buckle.

“Despite rising borrowing costs and elevated risk of recession, most contractors remain upbeat regarding near-term prospects, according to ABC’s Construction Confidence Index,” said Basu. “Backlog remains stable, and many contractors expect rising sales, employment and profit margins over the next six months. Many contractors also continue to report operating at capacity. Their primary issue is not insufficient demand for construction services, but rather a lack of access to skilled craft professionals.”

Cat to Host World’s Best Operators at Regional Semi-Finals

This week marks the beginning of the Global Operator Challenge regional semifinal events.

Caterpillar has invited 84 of the best equipment operators in the world to compete to become one of only nine global finalists moving on to round three competition held during ConExpo-Con/AGG next March in Las Vegas. The challenge tests the skills and precision of equipment operators as they prove their excellence in operating Cat equipment and technology, along with their ability to master any piece of construction machinery safely and efficiently.

“More than 10,000 operators around the world registered to compete in the Global Operator Challenge this year,” said Jessica Nunley, global marketing manager of Caterpillar. “After dealer qualification, 3,500 machine operators competed in the first round, and 84 of those have advanced to compete in one of our regional semifinal events held this month in Spain, the United States, Japan and Brazil.”

“These operators come from many different industries, and each have their preferred piece of equipment to operate, but they have one thing in common. They are leaders in theirfieldandcanapplytheiroperatingskills to a range of equipment,” said Matt Smith, global marketing manager of Caterpillar. “The dealers did a great job turning out the best operators, and now Caterpillar will put them to the test at our demonstration centers around the world.”

Dig Into Competition

During each portion of the Global Operator Challenge, participants execute a variety of tasks, such as digging a trench,

loading a precise amount of dirt, and hauling or maneuvering the equipment through a variety of obstacles. Scoring is based on the operator’s skills, efficiency, as well as his or her competence in using integrated technology to enhance the machine’s performance.

“Because this is a global competition, we want to make certain that spectators all over the world can follow along with the action,” Nunley said. “We will be posting live competition updates and sharing the operator’s machine expertise on our regional social media pages during every challenge.”

Spectators can follow all the action during the competitions using these regional social media pages.

Three finalists from Europe will move on to the global final.

Two finalists — one each from the East and West — will advance to the global final.

One finalist from South America will move on to the global final as the third representative from the Americas.

Three finalists from Asia will move on to the global final.

Nine finalists will emerge from these regional semifinals and participate in the global finals competition in Caterpillar’s outdoorFestivalGroundsexhibitF4455during ConExpo-Con/AGG in Las Vegas, March 2023. The winner of the competition will receive an all-expense-paid trip for two to one Caterpillar location worldwide.

N.J. Finally Breaks Ground On Hoboken Connect Project

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, along with officials and stakeholders, commemorated the Oct. 5 groundbreaking of Hoboken Connect, a long-delayed redevelopment effort in Hudson County.

The project, which has been 15 years in the making, will see the construction of two new buildings and renovations to the Hoboken Terminal area. It will include new office and retail space, affordable housing and improvements to public infrastructure and the surrounding area.

NJBiz reported Oct. 6 that Hoboken Connect’s development is the result of cooperation between Murphy’s administration, NJ Transit, the city of Hoboken and LCOR Inc., a real estate investment, development and management company specializing in large-scale, mixed-use development based in New York.

“Made possible by a combination of vision, tenacity and public-private synergy, the Hoboken Connect project will serve as a microcosm of all that my administration is determined to accomplish,” Murphy said at the ceremony. “In addition to incorporating environmentally sustainable design features, this long-awaited development will also produce millions of dollars in revenue for both Hoboken and NJ Transit.”

Murphy’s office released a statement that said the governor and the New Jersey Legislature have earmarked $176 million from the fiscal year 2023 budget for Hoboken Connect through the Debt Defeasance and Prevention Fund.

Project to Include New, Improved Spaces

The redevelopment agreement for the project with LCOR was signed off on by city officials in July and will pave the way for renovations to the historic Ferry Terminal, Warrington Plaza and Hudson Place. In addition, two buildings will be constructed — one commercial structure and another for residential use.

Retail spaces will be created on the first floor of the FerryTerminal, according to the Hudson Reporter. Those renovations could include either a public market or food hall, along with up to 150 spaces of bicycle storage, the news source said.

The second floor will have programmable commercial space, which, if not used by NJ Transit for transportation functions, can be transformed into indoor and outdoor markets, a food hall and cultural spaces such as a museum, gallery or per-

formance stage.

Anew bus depot also is slated to be built at Hudson Place (subject to NJ Transit governmental approval), along with other upgrades overseen by a Design Task Force that reviews concepts, public comments, and sends any plans. The initial concepts will include green infrastructure components and other aspects for it.

Warrington Plaza will be renovated to allow for movable seating and tables, plus pop-up structures for public use.

Hoboken Connect’s new commercial building, located at 5 and 23 Hudson Place, will be up to 20 stories tall, while the residential building, alongside Observer Highway, is set to be 28 stories tall and feature 389 residential units — 20 percent of which will be affordable housing.

The entire Hoboken Connect development effort will be conducted in multiple phases over the next five years.

Mutually Beneficial Effort

More than 9,800 construction jobs are predicted to be created from the project, according to Murphy’s office, and when it is completed, Hoboken Connect will “indirectly” support 15,290 permanent jobs and $234 million in tax revenue annually.

The governor’s staff also added that Hoboken would see 4,433 jobs on site with $9.6 million in annual retail spending and $4.5 million in annual revenue, while NJ Transit will “benefit” from ground lease payments, increased ridership, and “customer experience improvements”.

“This project has been 15 years in the making and I could not be more thrilled for it to come to fruition,” said Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla. “The city will reap the benefits of not only a rehabilitated transit hub, but much needed infrastructure upgrades, affordable housing, and retail space that will bring thousands of permanent jobs to the area.”

NJBiz noted that Kevin Corbett, president and CEO of NJ Transit, told the gathering that Hoboken Connect will comprehensively reimagine the city’s terminal.

“This important project will dramatically transform a long neglected historic gem of a terminal and promises to usher in a renaissance for Hoboken, spurring economic growth and transforming the customer experience at this vital transit hub that connects NJTransit rail, bus, and light rail services with PATH and NYWaterway ferries,” he said.

BOMAG Innovation Days Showcases

Newest Road Products, Capabilities

Among the equipment for building professionals to inspect at the BOMAG event, north of Columbia, were its compaction, milling, paving and reclaiming/stabilizing machines for roadbuilding and other construction projects.

BOMAG Americas Inc., a division of Fayat Group, a European-based manufacturer of several lines of road construction equipment, recently held an event at its Ridgeway, S.C., headquarters and factory to highlight its latest products to contractors and dealers.

The BOMAG Innovation Days demonstration introduced the equipment maker’s latest technologies as well as the capabilities of its new equipment in what BOMAG Global President Ralf Junker calls a “real life” jobsite setting.

By allowing more than 150 of its construction customers from across the United States and Canada to see its machines working up close, rather than in immovable displays at trade shows, BOMAG officials believe people can better see and understand what the products can do.

Among the equipment for building professionals to inspect at the BOMAG event, north of Columbia, were its compaction, milling, paving and reclaiming/stabilizing machines for roadbuilding and other construction projects.

“Today, we are introducing a number of new innovations,” Junker said, adding that upgrades were made to its compaction line’s newest small tamper, the BT 50, and a modern design has been applied to its light rollers. “From there, we have our new baby, the high-end BM 2000/65 large planer, BOMAG’s largest milling machine and already a best seller launched a half-year ago.”

Customer Feedback Valuable to BOMAG

After having held BOMAG Innovation Days events in Europe and Asia for years, the company began to hold the same events in the United States, a source of pride for the company.

Junker and other BOMAG executives stage these events to better understand the needs and goals of its customers, and it has always worked to lead the industry in groundbreaking new developments, he said.

A meet-and-greet reception opened BOMAG’s Innovation Days, followed the next day by what Junker called “more theoretical training” of the equipment, and an informative tour of both the parts warehouse and the product assembly line. Later, many of the manufacturer’s diverse set of road-building machines were put to work for the assembled contractors.

In addition, a static equipment exposition at the factory allows customers to meet with and ask questions of BOMAG’s product managers and marketing personnel.

“People tell us quite precisely what they are demanding and looking for,” said Junker. “We need to meet our customers to exchange ideas and be close to them to know what they need to be happy with our products. Their feedback is really a huge value for all of us in our work.”

To end each BOMAG Innovation Days gathering, BOMAG entertained its guests with a demonstration of the power of its compaction equipment, he said.

“People really enjoy seeing how easy it is to destroy up to four cars at the same time with one of our 60-ton compactors,” Junker said, laughing.

FleetWatcher Partners With OnStation for Load Tracking

Earthwave has integrated its e-ticketing functionality with OnStation to allow users to pinpoint the exact station location where each load of asphalt is placed on a job site.

This new functionality automatically tracks the load from the time it is loaded at the asphalt plant, through its dumping into the paver on the job site.

The exact station location becomes a part of the digital e-ticket, with no operator intervention required. Operators and transportation agency officials can know precisely on a job site where a specific load of asphalt was laid, so that if a future problem arises, they can investigate other parameters around that location, including core tests, density, drainage or others, to determine the scope of the problem.

Specific station locations on each e-ticket replace the latitude/longitude indications which are commonly included now, but which are not readily referenceable on the job site.

Thisversatilefunctionalityalsoisapplicable for loads of aggregate or other materials commonly used on road construction job

sites.Becauseitisautomaticallyaddedtothe e-ticket, the information is readily available to DOT and construction crew personnel, whether they reference it in a week or a year.

How It Works

When a FleetWatcher equipped truck enters a jobsite geozone, the vehicles latitude/longitude is sent to OnStation. After

verifying that it is part of the project, OnStation return the station, alignment and offset where the load is deposited, which then becomes part of the e-ticket.The e-ticket then flows normally though to the DOT and construction crew personnel.

The process occurs automatically and replaces manual tracking systems, which are

often inaccurate and unreliable. Additionally, this stationing information about each load is maintained in Fleetwatcher indefinitely for future use. For more information, visit www.EarthwaveTech.com and www.OnStationApp.com.

National Pavement Expo Sets Schedule for Event in Charlotte in January 2023

Educational Advisory Board (EAB) members for the National Pavement Expo (NPE)And Conference completed their work this summer, pouring over proposals and selecting compelling educational topics and knowledgeable speakers. It’s all part of the run-up to the event, which is scheduled for Jan 25 to 27, 2023 in Charlotte, N.C.

For EAB member Todd Eichholz, owner and CEO of A&A Paving, Roselle, Ill., the process of choosing educational sessions became a bit easier due to a slight shift in submission rules.

“We used to put out a call for speakers and everybody would submit classes they wanted to teach,” Eichholz said. “This year we gave guidance on the types of classes that we wanted. These are the topics that we believe can really help contractors move to the next level of their business. We then got to pick the best of that class and really determine the best speakers and the best content.”

The show brings together vendors and contractors who make their living from asphalt and concrete paving, sealcoating, striping, sweeping, crack repair, pavement repair and snow removal.

Early registration rates are in effect for NPE through Oct. 28, 2022. After that, Advance Rates will be on offer until Nov. 31. Ultimately, the cost of registration amount to a wise investment that can have tangible effects on business, according to NPE.

“Since I started attending NPE, I’ve grown my business five times the size it used to be, because I’ve made relationships with other owners and contractors throughout the whole country,” Eichholz said.

“These are guys who I can call and I’m texting every single day asking, ‘How did you do this? What worked for you?’ I’m learning from guys who have much larger companies and I’m always trying to help guys who are still in the early stages — because I’ve already made the mistakes. The relationships I’ve made at NPE, coupled with what I’ve learned from speakers and equipment manufacturers, is why my company is five times the size it was when I first started attending.”

The potent combination of structured educational sessions, show floor interaction and networking events are all in place and a great way to start the

kind of relationships that can help the business.

NPE recently announced that a networking party at the NASCAR Hall of Fame has been confirmed for Jan. 26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. NPE also will introduce the 1st Annual Driveway Games, an area on the expo floor devoted to children-at-heart competitions including three-point shooting, big wheel drag racing and axe throwing.

Porscha Brooks, marketing manager, added “NPE 2023 isn’t just serious business, it’s serious fun.”

Eichholz has a message for contractors who’ve never made the trip to NPE, or those who have not been back for a few years; Now is the time to gather inspiration, knowledge and contacts.

“Pavement maintenance will always happen,” he said. “We’re a very important industry and there will always be

the need for work. Contractors must learn how to adapt and evolve so they can stay relevant and profitable. That’s why you need to come to NPE. If you can’t adapt and evolve, you’re going to be left in the dust.”

While the billions spent on infrastructure don’t necessarily filter down to the NPE audience, there’s a silver lining that bodes well.

“When there’s not a lot of infrastructure and road work, the bigger companies start playing in our sandbox,” Eichholz said. “They’ll tend to take work very cheaply just to keep busy. If thoseguysarebusy,there’slesscompetition for our type of work. We want to keep those infrastructure guys busy doing what they’re best at, and leave the work that we’re the best at to us. The Infrastructure Act will keep them busy.”

Doosan DD100 Dozers in Full Production, On Way to N.A.

he new Doosan DD100 dozers are being produced at the manufacturing facility in SouthKorea.Customerscanexpecttoseean increasing number of Doosan dozers in North America as more machines arrive at dealerships.

Doosan Infracore North America unveiled its first dozer at a media event last December in Arizona: the 10-metric-ton DD100. The pre-prototype machine garnered significant interest from the media, and Doosan moved ahead with finalizing its first pilot machines.

In June of this year, Doosan shipped its first DD100 dozer from South Korea to North America. The machine arrived in August and was delivered to a customer in Pennsylvania. Shortly upon its arrival, the customer quickly put the machine to work at its topsoil production facility.

“It’s been an exciting 10 months since we announced our first dozer, then proceeded to manufacture our first DD100,” said Moo Young Park, engineering manager, Doosan Infracore North America. “We expect our dealers and customers to embrace the new Doosan dozers and to see more of them on job sites yet this year.”

Looking ahead to 2023, Doosan plans to offer a larger model — the DD130 — in North America. The 13-metric-ton model is expected to launch in Q1 next year.

DD100 Highlights

Doosan entered the North American dozer market with a smaller dozer size, competing in the 140-hp and under category.The new DD100 dozer is at the top of its class for operating weight and horsepower. Ideal for residential and light commercial construction, the dozer’s main task is fine grading.

“The under 140-horsepower size class presents the biggest opportunity for Doosan based on North American dozer sales volume,” Park said.

Setting the DD100 dozer apart from other manufacturers in the under 140-hp size class is the machine’s power-to-weight ratio. This design was intentional; Doosan planned to make a machine that can offer more power to the ground and superior tractive effort.

Productivity

Productivity is driven by the dozer’s 6way variable angle pitch blade. Customers can choose from two blade options: a standard 2.9 cubic yard blade or an optional 3.4 cubic yard capacity blade. The blade moves freely to lift, tilt and angle, and offers twoway mechanical adjustments to change the blade pitch to control how steeply the blade will dig into the ground. Operators can adjust the blade pitch from 54 to 58 degrees. Also available is a blade shake button for operators to quickly remove materials stuck

to the blade.

Technology

Advanced technologies in the new DD100 dozer deliver more precision to help operators meet exacting specifications.A2D grading system option is available to make precision grading easier, even for novice operators.

For further grading accuracy, Doosan offers a 3D machine guidance and machine control option in partnership with Trimble. The 3D system requires the installation of a second monitor in the cab and uses GPS technology for greater grading accuracy and ease of operation.

Electrohydraulic control is standard, making the DD100 dozer easier to operate. Operators can customize the controls to their individual preferences. More experienced operators can adjust the machine for finer control.

The DoosanCONNECT Telematics system is a standard feature on the Doosan dozer, making it easy for customers to remotely monitor and maintain their machine. They can monitor the health, location and productivity of the dozer from a user-friendly mobile app and website. The customer’sdealercanalsoseetheequipment status and notify them when it’s time for service to minimize machine downtime.

Visibility

One of the biggest differences between the DD100 dozer and other dozers is the visibility to the machine’s blade. The front engine compartment of the Doosan DD100 dozer offers a narrower design to make it easier for operators to see their work.

• The precleaner is tucked away in the engine compartment to maximize front visibility.

• The electronic cooling system was

moved to the back of the dozer to further improve front visibility.

• The cab’s low-profile front pillars provide maximum glass area

•All-glass doors provide a full view of the working environment.

“Visibility is the name of the game,” said Ray Trainor, co-owner of Ratoskey & Trainor. Trainor and his business partner, Rob Ratoskey, were the first to take possession of a Doosan dozer in North America.

“In smaller machines, when you’re doing roadways and putting stone on grade, you’ve got to see what you’re doing, and the visibility in the Doosan dozer is good,” Trainor said.

For further visibility and safety, a standard rearview camera provides operators with an additional view of the dozer’s surroundings. Also standard are high-illumination LED lights and four premium wiper blades.

Operator Comfort

Doosan designed the dozer cab to offer best-in-class operator comfort. It starts with a smooth ride, due to an air-suspension artificial-leather seat, even when starting and stopping the dozer. The machine’s heating and air conditioning system is designed to keep operators comfortable in every season,

and front and door glass defrost vents help improve visibility.

A user-friendly, multilingual Doosan Smart Touch screen displays all important settings and information on one screen. Operators can easily read the touch screen, monitor critical machine functions and control machine settings, such as the rearview camera, heating and cooling, radio and Bluetooth wireless technology. Operators haveaccesstoahands-freeaudiosystemand can connect a Bluetooth device to play music. They also can answer phone calls using the hands-free mode.

A keypad located to the right of the operator has buttons for the operator to control

the dozer’s wipers, air conditioning system, temperature control, fan speed, defrost, travel alarm and working lamp. Adjacent to the keypad are a USB power socket and a 12V power socket for charging purposes.

For additional operator comfort, an adjustable armrest can be moved up or down to a precise position that’s most convenient for the operator. The dozer’s cab has a suspension system that dampens vibrations and provides protection against impact. The system absorbs shocks and vibrations much more effectively than a conventional cab mount.

The Doosan DD100 dozer is powered by a 3.4-L D34 diesel engine and does not require the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to meet current emissions standards. The same engine has been used in other Doosan machines and has performed well.

Operators can select the dozer’s ECO mode to reduce daily fuel consumption up to 5 percent without sacrificing grading performance. This fuel-saving feature lowers the pump power output when working in lower tractive conditions.

Additional fuel-saving features include auto idle and auto engine shutdown. If the

Doosan designed the dozer cab to offer best-in-class operator comfort.

The new DD100 dozer is ideal for residential and light commercial construction; the dozer’s main task is fine grading.

CatOffersCommandRemoteOperationforMediumDozers

To boost jobsite safety in hazardous dozing conditions, Caterpillar announced the expansion of Command remote machine operation to Cat D5, D6, and D7 Dozers.

Command for Dozing removes operators from the cab and offers remote operating from a safe distance in applications such as overburden/reclamation work, ripping overburden or leach pads, slurry pond dozing, and operation around hazardous materials or unstable surfaces.

Next generation dozers are shipped from thefactoryremoteready,makingfieldinstallation fast with only a few additional parts required. With Command fully integrated with the machine’s electronic and hydraulic systems, remote operation delivers quick response, smooth control and virtually no latency.

Companies have the option of equipping dozers with line-of-sight (LOS) or non-line-

longevity of experienced operators.

Two Options, Precise Control

Portable and lightweight, the command console (LOS) allows workers to work outside of the cab while remaining on site and in direct visual contact with the dozer. With its range reaching 437 yds., the console positions the user for optimum visibility.

Requiring no on-site communications infrastructure, it is ideal for short-term and emergency remote operation. An ergonomic console layout features intuitive controls with ISO symbols that provides access to all dozer functions, while an LED display offers clear readout of machine status.

Furthering operation simplicity, the console (LOS) system supports multiple assist technologies the operator would have from inside the cab, including traction control, AutoCarry and stable blade. Unlocking with

Beyond improving safe operation and increasing productivity, Command for Dozing offers a potential solution to worker shortages and added training opportunities for newer operators. By allowing the operator to work outside the machine, Command opens opportunities to those with physical limitations which prevent them from climbing into the equipment.

Doosan Plans to Produce Larger Model DD130 in 2023

machine functions are not used for a predetermined period, the auto idle feature idles the dozer engine to reduce fuel consumption. When the operator moves the controls, the dozer automatically returns to the previous throttle setting.

The auto shutdown feature saves fuel and helps lower warranty hours. When the feature is enabled, the engine shuts down after it has been idling for a specified period. Default shutdown occurs after five minutes of idling but can be set for longer periods by the operator using the Smart Touch display.

Versatility

Doosan dozers come standard with piping for an optional ripper attachment. The ripper attachment features parallel linkage that helps maintain a constant angle to the ground regardless of the height. The attachment can quickly break up hard, rugged materials prior to grading, and it can be used to install erosion control. Also available as an attachment is a towing draw bar, allowing operators to use the Doosan dozer to tow other equipment on a job site.

Durability

One of the dozer’s key features is its undercarriage design. Doosan developed its

dozer undercarriage system to help lower the total cost of operation. The design includes both single- and dual-flange rollers for improved durability and long life.

Customers can choose from several track guards to enhance uptime protection. They include general-purpose and full guard options to fit the jobsite conditions. In addition, track shoe options are available to help distribute the load to the ground. Thinner tracks are used for rugged, rocky environments. A low-ground pressure option is available for sandy soil conditions.

Serviceability

An in-line precleaner helps improve filter life and is integrated with the air cleaner. It’s also more compact to fit in the smaller engine compartment. Self-cleaning and maintenance-free, the intake system can expel a variety of debris, including mud, snow, rain, leaves, sawdust and chaff.

Doosan designed its dozer undercarriage for convenience and cost-effective maintenance. Areas of the undercarriage that naturally experience greater wear and tear are easy to access. For example, a removable side panel provides access to an area to add grease to the undercarriage’s tension system.

Customers can order replacement parts

through their local Doosan dealer.

To help minimize fuel-related issues, Doosan offers a filter-type high-performance water separator, which captures moisture in the fuel and reduces impurities. Standard pre-filters and dual main filters achieve a high degree of purity that minimize fuel system failures. The fuel filter water separator and the main fuel filter can easily be reached by lifting a panel on the front of the dozer.

Common, everyday maintenance items can be accessed from ground level, including the following components:

• Electronic main control valve

• Diesel fill

• Diesel exhaust fluid fill

• Hydraulic oil fill

• Fuel filter

• Engine oil filter

• Air cleaner

• Battery

• Windshield wash tank

When necessary, owners can tilt the dozer cabin to reach critical components. Even with the cab tilted, the dozer can be started while the machine is being diagnosed or repaired.

Doosan DD100 dozers are designed with a unique hydraulically controlled cooling system and come standard with a reversible

fan. Operators can set the fan to automatically reverse at a predetermined time interval. The cooling system is in the rear of the machine instead of the front. This contributes to better visibility to the blade from the operator’s point of view.

New Foley Inc. Facility to Feature Four Super Service Bays

New Jersey-based Foley Inc. is planning to add to its roster of branches by building a new 57,000-sq.-ft. sales and service facility in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania.

The company held a groundbreaking for the construction project Oct. 11 in Breinigsville, southwest of Allentown.

Officials with Foley Cat and the builder, Wohlsen Construction in Lancaster, Pa., were on hand for the ceremonial first shovel of dirt at the building site, situated in a rural area off Interstate 78.Among the many invited guests was Wohlsen Vice President Jeff Sturla.

Lehigh Valley Facility Part of Expanding Market

Jamie Foley, CEO of Foley Inc., said his namesake company regards the new building as essential in keeping Foley Cat on an upward success curve.

“One of our critical success factors has been, and will continue to be, growing the business,” he said at the kickoff event. “We have a responsibility, and a commitment, to Caterpillar, to our customers, and to our company to make sure that we are living up to that excellence in terms of continually getting better. Part of that comes with bricks and mortar — to put facilities in territories that meet our customers’needs.”

Headquartered in Piscataway, N.J., Foley currently operates two other Eastern Pennsylvania dealerships, in

Bensalem and Whitehall, as well as New Jersey branches in Monroe Township and Hammonton, and another in Bear, Del. However, the new Breinigsville facility, once completed, will replace the Whitehall facility.

Foley explained that the dealership chose the Breinigsville site for its next full-service store, in part, to cater to many of the company’s larger customers in the Lehigh Valley and he feels Foley Cat will have the burgeoning market well covered.

“When we looked at the footprint of this location once we acquired Ransome Cat in 2018, we recognized that there was a need to have a facility that was a little more south and west of Allentown,” he said. “As we looked, we realized this footprint in Breinigsville was going to be a terrific place for us to meet our customers’needs.”

Foley to Open Its First Super Service Bays

One of the top features of the new Foley Cat branch is sure to be its four super bays for servicing Caterpillar construction equipment.

Sturla noted that since they are designed to be twice the size of regular service bays, their presence will give Foley the equivalent of eight work areas for the dealership’s technicians. In addition, four more service bays will be built to handle rental equipment.

Foley said he believes being able to provide larger and

better service capacity will be a boost to that aspect of the company, and likely contribute to its growth and success.

“Caterpillar has been encouraging its dealers to grow their businesses, particularly when it comes to parts and service for customers,” he said. “So, comparing what we were able to do for our customers in Whitehall versus the capabilities that we will have in Breinigsville, in terms of the rebuild opportunity in the territory, to be able to have customers bring their larger equipment to this facility to have that done completely changes what we had been able to do before, and what we will be able to do once it is open.”

Multiple equipment yards are slated to be built at Foley Cat’s Lehigh Valley branch.

To assist technicians in performing work on large construction equipment, Foley Cat’s four super bays will each have overhead cranes, while another two will be installed within the rental service bays.

“This is the first time Foley has had super bays, and they are relatively unique because we are installing radiant floor heat in them,” Sturla said. “The people that work inside are going to love them.”

Other building details at the Lehigh Valley branch include a large parts department, dedicated workspace for sales and rental specialists, and an ancillary building for Foley Cat’s wash bay, hydraulic shop, and weld shop.

Foley Branch to Be BuiltOff Interstate 78

Sturla said that construction on the previously undeveloped 11½-acre parcel of land began in earnest the second week of October, with a projected finish sometime late next summer.

“One of the interesting things here is that we are scraping the topsoil off and when we did the geotechnical borings, we learned there is a soft area in the soil right underneath the building site so we will be doing dynamic compaction to take care of that,” he said, adding that, of course, Cat machines will be used. “And then, we will perform cement stabilization outside the building to try and accommodate Foley Cat’s heavy equipment.”

He added that the branch’s main building will be a steel-frame structure, and 10-in.thick concrete aprons will be installed inside and outside the facility.

“It will have a dock area and several diesel tanks, plus a large one-megawatt generator that will supply power because there is no public water or sewer here,” he said in

describing the extensive site package for Foley Cat. “The project also will have a huge, underground fire pump, and a 150,000-gallon water tank underneath the parking area to supply water for the fire-suppression system. Additionally, an underground storage basin will accommodate the offsite storm water here, along with three other basins to take care of the onsite storm water, and a leach field for the sewer because that is not currently here either.”

Multiple equipment yards are slated to be built at Foley Cat’s Lehigh Valley branch, according to Sturla, including a two-acre display area facing I-78, and a pair of smaller machine yards fronting the road leading to the building itself. Room will be cleared for several equipment and parts storage areas too, he said.

Foley Cat, Wohlsen Each Strivefor Best Service

Foley transitioned itself from an automobile dealer to Cat distributor when it became a heavy equipment dealership in Newark, N.J., in 1957. Ten years later, its rapid growth led to its moving to a larger facility in Piscataway. Now in its third generation of family ownership, Foley Inc. has kept its commitment to giving customers high-quality products backed by excellent customer service.

Wohlsen is a respected contracting firm that builds elite projects in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states. Besides its central office in Lancaster, Wohlsen has eight branches spread across the region, in the cities of Harrisburg and Berwyn, Pa., Parsippany, N.J., Hamden, Conn., Wilmington, Del., Baltimore, Md., and Vienna, Va.

Sturla described his company as “an institutional commercial builder,” with a portfolio of finished projects that range from industrial, to healthcare, to higher education, to senior-living facilities.

The airport’s last major renovation was approximately 30 years ago. The new landside terminal is being built between the current landside and airside terminals. This new construction will eliminate the need for the tram that runs between the current terminals.

“All of those systems behind the scenes are past their useful life,” said Paul Hoback, executive vice president and chief development officer of theAllegheny County Airport Authority, which operates the airport. “We will eliminate the people mover train and eight miles of a baggage system that is costly to maintain.Although we are no longer a hub, we’re building an origin and destination airport.”

Pittsburgh International Airport serves more than 8 million passengers annually on 16 carriers with nonstop service to 68 airports.

The groundbreaking for the construction of the new terminal was in October 2021 with construction

During excavation, approximately 85,000 tons of concrete were crushed and will be used on future road construction.

The caissons being drilled for the $1.4 billion construction project will add an 811,000-sq.-ft. concourse plus parking facilities.

Drilling rigs and cranes arrive for the work of building the new terminal between the current terminals.

activities continuing through 2024 with the grand opening scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.

Construction Activities

In 2021, workers excavated approximately 300,000 cu. ft. of material to prepare for the new terminal’s foundations. In addition, approximately 85,000 tons of concrete were crushed and set aside for use in future road construction.

After test borings, foundation support drilling began.

At the end of September 2022, nearly all of the concrete for pile caps has been placed as well as 70 percent for the grade beams with 60 percent of the structural slabs poured.

Thirteen of the piers for the elevated road planned for the front of the terminal have been installed, with seven more to go.

A new road will be built from the airport entrance to the terminal. Also, an exit road from the terminal will tie into existing exit roadways. Four bridges, including a terminal front bridge, will be constructed. The terminal bridge will

The first 50-ton girder arrives. The girders are part of the new terminal project, which will include four bridges.

trenching were recorded, OSHA stepped up its excavation site inspection program.

Defining Trench Safety

NUCA reported that OSHA’s standard 1926.650, Subpart P on trenching and excavation requires protective systems for trenches that are 5 ft. or deeper.

The federal agency warns that trench collapses are rarely survivable because a cubic yard of soil can weigh as much as 3,000 lbs.

“Trench hazards are well-known,” said OSHA, “yet far too many workers continue to be injured or killed during excavation work.”

The agency believes trench collapses, or cave-ins, are more likely than other excavation-related incidents to result in worker fatalities.

“It only takes seconds to become buried in thousands of pounds of soil.”

But trench hazards can be controlled when employers act responsibly, train employees and follow federal standards.

OSHA lists steps contractors can take to keep excavation work safe:

• Ensure there is a safe way to enter and exit the trench;

•Trenchesmusthavecave-inprotection — remember to Slope, Shore, Shield;

• Keep materials away from the edge of the trench;

• Look for standing water or other environmental hazards; and

• Never enter a trench unless it is properly inspected

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) warns that working in an unprotected trench is dangerous.

The walls can collapse suddenly and without warning. When this happens, workers do not have time to move out of the way.

“A small amount of dirt may not seem dangerous, but can weigh more than 3,000 pounds — the weight of a compact car,” said the organization.

“This small amount of dirt is enough to fatally crush and suffocate workers.”

Like OSHA, safety experts at NIOSH warn that “workers should never enter a trench that does not have a protective system in place.”

The protective system should be designed and installed by a competent person, someone who can identify hazards and is authorized to correct them.

Competent person training is available from many sources, noted NIOSH, including insurance companies, trade associations, labor unions

and equipment manufacturers.

The best way to prevent trench collapse and trenching fatalities is to use other methods, when possible, said NIOSH.

Some options include directional boring, relining the pipe, pipe ramming and utility tunneling and pipe jacking.

Robots can be used on construction sites to transport, line and join large pipes to protect workers from serious injuries.

Robots may also reduce the need for pipe layers and other helpers to work at the bottom of the trench, according to the organization.

Trenches must be inspected by a knowledgeable person, be free of standing water and atmospheric hazards and have a safe means of entering and exiting prior to allowing a worker to enter.

“OSHA stands ready to assist any employer who needs help to comply with our trenching and excavation requirements,” Assistant Secretary Parker added. “We will conduct outreach programs in all of our 10 regions to help ensure any employer who wants assistance gets it. The stakes are too important.”

Dealer Emphasizes Trench Safety; Warns of High Fatality Rate in Excavating Work

Prior to allowing a worker to enter, trenches must be inspected by a knowledgeable person, free of standing water and hazards and have a safe means of entering and exiting.

TRENCHING from page 76

In fact, OSHA’s On-Site Consultation Program for small- and medium-sized businesses will help address trench-related illnesses and injuries in workplaces.

The agency also urges workers to contact their local OSHA or state plan office if their employer requires working in or beside trenches that are not sloped, shored or shielded, and are 5 or more feet deep.

Additional Advice

Caterpillar dealer Blanchard Machinery warns that the fatality rate for excavating is 112 percent higher than general construction.

“Trenching is a dangerous job,” said the West Columbia, S.C.-based, company. “But you can protect yourself and your team from injury with the right precautions. Anticipate the risks before they become hazards and be proactive with these trench safety tips.”

• Understand proper trenching practices

Blanchard reinterates that the site manager should implement trenching techniques based on soil, trench dimensions and other site-specific factors.

“Never work in a trench without supporting the sides with a trench box, shoring, or combination of sloping and benching methods,” said Blanchard.

• Follow site-specific trenching safety guidelines

Every work site is different, noted the company.

“Account for environmental and atmospheric conditions, soil type, trench dimensions and the work you’re doing in creating site-specific safety guidelines.”

According to Blanchard, these rules should be safety standards across all trench settings. Never enter a trench with standing water or accumulating water without taking proper precautions to drain and prevent more flow. Workers should not work underneath suspended loads handled by heavy machinery. All trenches require safe and separate entry and exit points.

Minimize the chance of falling debris and struck-by injuries by keeping materials and equipment at least 2 ft. away from the trench edge and using retaining devices as needed.

Always stay aware of your surroundings and implement visual and audible warning systems like signs and alarms to know when equipment is in use or nearby.

• Test and inspect trenches regularly

Trenches must be inspected before work begins each day to check for hazardous fumes, oxygen levels, water accumulation and environmental changes.

The inspector should reinspect trenches after environmental changes and natural events, like nearby blasting work or heavy rain.

• Know the soil and environment

Soil type and quality are some of the most significant factors to consider when designing a trench.

Always conduct utility line tests before trenching. Mark gas, electrical, water and other lines with correct signage and barriers before operating any equipment.

“Failure to do so could result in injury and costly damage or fees,” warns Blanchard.

Plus, a competent person should conduct atmospheric testing in all trenches 4 ft. or deeper to ensure proper oxygen levels. Also, sites should have emergency rescue equipment available at all times, according to the Cat dealer.

• Use a trench box — but don’t rely on it

Trench boxes are in place to protect workers in the event of a cave-in and cannot always prevent the cave-in itself.

Proper barrier placement should include shoring and worker barriers with enough force to be greater than the force coming from the trench walls.

Avoid using trench boxes for greater depths than the manufacturer has rated them for and never work inside a damaged barrier.

Acquisitions Align to Make Customers ‘Unstoppable’

Chadwick-BaRoss’ Oxford, Conn., facility also is the headquarters of its sister company, Thompson Equipment, New England’s exclusive distributor of Astec Industries.

EXPANSION from page 12

• Holder tractors

• Envirosight utility maintenance equipment

• CAM trailers

• ODRA road sweepers

• Sewer Equipment of America vacuum trucks

• Viking excavator attachments

• LaBounty hydraulic attachments

• RAMVAC vacuum excavators

Chadwick-BaRoss’ new 10,000-sq.-ft. facility sits on 21/2 acres and offers a spacious showroom, parts counter, extensive parts warehouse and eight service bays. The Oxford location also houses the southern New England facility of Chadwick-BaRoss’ sister company, Thompson Equipment. Thompson Equipment is New England’s exclusive distributor ofAstec Industries aggregate products.Astec is the largest single-source supplier for processing equipment, asphalt equipment and aggregate processing equipment, including such well-known brands as Astec mobile screens, JCI, Kolberg-Pioneer and Telsmith.

According to Mike Anderson, general manager of Chadwick-BaRoss’ Oxford operations, “This new facility is serving us and our customers very well. We have been able to better support them and expand our customer base with our core products of Link-Belt and Takeuchi. We have invested in two service trucks and with eight service bays we are well equipped to give the support this industry demands.

“We have recently expanded our product offerings to penetrate other important New England equipment markets. Atlas material handlers have

put us in a position to offer a great specialized material handling tracked machine for the demolition and recycling industries that has a proven record overseas and is gaining a great track record in the U.S. “Sewer Equipment of America offers the highest quality

sewer equipment in the industry with high-pressure, highvolume truck and trailer mounted sewer jetters combination sewer cleaners in a variety of sizes to meet any of our customer’s needs. This, along with the addition of RAMVAC truck-mounted vacuum excavators, gives us a great product offering for utility contractors and municipalities.”

In 2021, Chadwick-BaRoss purchased KAZ Equipment in South Windsor, Conn. This facility, located at 67 McGuire Road just outside of Hartford, is ideally located to give Chadwick-BaRoss coverage to its customers in the balance of Connecticut and western Massachusetts. From the South Windsor facility, the same lineup of industry leading manufacturers is offered as the Oxford facility.

According to Chadwick-BaRoss, this expansion aligns with its recent rebranding initiative to enable customers, who were previously out of reach, to “be unstoppable” in their businesses by better supporting their needs.

Eric Olivieri, general manager of the South Windsor operations, said that the acquisition afforded both companies a symmetry because ofTakeuchi equipment. “At KAZ Equipment, we carriedTakeuchi in South Windsor and Chadwick-BaRoss carried Takeuchi in Oxford, Conn., Warwick, R.I., and Chelmsford, Mass. Becoming part of Chadwick-BaRoss made perfect sense for our Takeuchi customers by providing an expanded support network.”

“Being a part of the Chadwick-BaRoss brand has also changed how we are viewed within the industry to some extent. With products like Bell trucks and Link-Belt added to our line card, our opportunity to do business with the larger contractors in the Connecticut and western Massachusetts market has grown. We have traditionally done a great job putting equipment in the hands of and supporting consumers of smaller compact machines. However, at times as these, consumers grew their business and had a need for larger machines, we were not always able to satisfy that need. That is certainly no longer the case. With the addition of the Oxford, Conn., and Warwick, R.I., locations our customers are also confident that they can work anywhere in southern New England and be assured of receiving fast and reliable product support.”

“The new terminal will transform and modernize Pittsburgh International to better meet the needs of the region,” said Hoback. “The goals of this project are to increase economicopportunity,stabilizecostsforthe airlines and create a world-class experience for passengers.”

The renovations will accommodate multiple means for passengers traveling to the airport. A five-story multi-modal complex will be constructed that will encompass a 3,300-parking space garage, a rental car facility and surface parking lots.

Airport planners will be seeking at least a LEED Silver Certification for the terminal and other buildings. That means taking “green building” to another level.

Environmentally friendly actions will include:

• Parksmart certification for the garage, which reduces energy and will encourage biking, carpooling and alternative fuel vehicles;

• Source construction materials locally including 16,000 tons of steel, more than 354,000 sq. ft. of wood and 94,000 tons of

concrete;

• Approximately 75 percent of all construction waste generated will be recycled or reused rather than being sent to local landfills. Much of this will be concrete used for the new roads;

•Useofhighlyefficientheatingandcooling systems for the terminal building;

•Sustainablelandscapetoconservewater

and energy and decrease runoff; and

• Use of native plants to minimize the need for extensive watering and maintenance. Also, the collection of rainwater to supplement water needs.

During the construction process, workers will be using two Manitowoc MLC 300 VPC cranes. These behemoths weigh about 380 tons and will extend 290 ft. above the

Construction activities were put on hold during the pandemic and economic downturn.

“We used this time to further consider how to incorporate public health improvements in a post pandemic environment,” said Hoback. “We resumed building realizing cost savings with a new tech-forward health-centered terminal.”

The airport terminal construction will make it easier for passengers and also enhance their experience with the addition of concessions, artwork and amenities. The new structure will have green plazas, gathering spaces and an abundance of natural light.

In addition to the improved experience for passengers, the massive project will have a positive impact on construction in the region.

“This means more jobs and growth for western Pennsylvania,” said Hoback.

The airport modernization program is expected to generate about $2.5 billion in economic activity and more than 14,000 total direct and indirect jobs over the next three years.

Snow and Ice Section

Western Products Introduces New Line of Pusher Plows

By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT

An industry leader in snow and ice control products, and well known among snow and ice professionals in the western and midwestern parts of the United States, Milwaukee, Wis.-based Western Products has had a busy few years despite the pandemic, labor shortages, supply chain issues and increasingly unpredictable weather patterns.

“We continue to talk with snow and ice contractors and understand what they need to be successful.As labor becomes harder and harder to find, contractors are looking to get more snow moved and ice melted with less people. This means using larger vehicles like wheel loaders, skid steers and tractors with highcapacity plows,” said Andrew McArdle,vicepresidentofmarketing.

A whole new line of pusher plows — theWestern PILE DRIVER with TRACE EDGE technology — was introduced this summer. This terrain-response advanced cutting edge is made up of independent, 2-ft. sections that follow the plowable surface for a clean scrape. It is available in 8-, 10- and 12-ft. widths this winter with 14and 16-ft. widths available in 2023.

The TRACE EDGE works in conjunction with the oscillating skis that feature a reversible, bolton shoe for easy serviceability.The new line of pushers will be made in a new facility at Western Product’s Milwaukee campus, where the company continues to manufacture its snow and ice equipment, in addition to its manufacturing facilities in Rockland, Maine, and Madison Heights, Mich.

“It’s all about understanding your accounts, your labor and your equipment. Using the ‘right tool

for the job’ is important to maximize efficiency,” said McArdle. “Snow and ice equipment technology has evolved over the years — whether that is the introduction of winged plows and v-plows to increase productivity over traditional straight blade plows, liquid brine spray systems to reduce the use of salt and increase contractor profitability or the use of non-truck equipment like UTVs, skid steers, tractors and loaders, when paired with pusher plows to create flexibility and increase productivity in their fleet. All our products are designed for maximum efficiency andproductivity.Dependingonthe property type and tasks at hand, you can assemble your perfect mix of products and vehicles to do more with less.”

Founded in 1943 as Western Welding and Manufacturing, the company was purchased in 1950 by Doug Seaman and rebranded as Western Products. Seaman then

formed Douglas Dynamics in 1977 and that became the parent company.

From custom welding jobs for

large manufacturers, Western Product’s focus turned to manufacturing snow and ice removal equipment. Today, the company is recognized for its quality products, including plows, hopper spreaders and tailgate spreaders for trucks and non-truck vehicles and decades of world-class service and expertise.

For Western, 2021 was great for business overall.

done an amazing job ensuring we have the right suppliers and materials to keep our manufacturing facilities up and running.”

For Veteran’s Day, Western Products auctions a custom, one-of-akind military plow with all the proceeds benefitting Camp Hometown Heroes, an area nonprofit which hosts free week-long overnight summer camps for children and siblings of fallen U.S. service members. Last year saw two parties battling back and forth for the custom plow on auction.

“Our dealer partners continue to see high demand despite limited vehicle supplies. By staying close to our partners and building ‘every product, every day’, we were able to ensure we were building the right products to answer the demand of our dealers and snow and ice contractors,” said McArdle. “Our business treats our suppliersandlogisticpartnersasan extension of our employees, and therefore we were able to get what we needed to continue building and shipping products. Our global sourcing and supply chain team is the best in the industry. They have

The company also announced a new president to its commercial snow and ice control division in September 2021 — Mark Van Genderen. He joined Douglas Dynamic in 2020 as vice president of business development and draws on more than 21 years of leadership at Harley-Davidson Motor Company, delivering impactful results focusing on product development, global sales and marketing, and channel strategy execution. Having developed and led large business segments, his expertise lies in cross-functional commercial strategy development, brand expansion and sales growth.

Add to that, this year, Douglas Dynamics was once again recognized as a Top Workplace for the 13th consecutive year by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Western Products Optimistic for 2022-2023 Winter Season

WESTERN from page 93

Boasting a staff of 1,800 worldwide, it is one of only nine other companies that have been recognized annually as a Top Workplace since the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel started the program 13 years ago. The company was ranked 15th in the medium-sized workplace category.And it’s not only the employee culture that has earned it these well-deserved accolades, but also the social cause work that the company undertakes in the community.

For Veteran’s Day, Western Products auctions a custom, one-of-a-kind military plow with all the proceeds benefitting Camp Hometown Heroes, an area nonprofit which hosts free week-long overnight summer camps for children and siblings of fallen U.S. service members. Last year saw two parties battling back and forth for the custom plow on auction.

“We were able to settle on a bid that both parties accepted, allowing us to donate more than $20,000 to Camp Hometown Heroes. This was our largest donation to date,” said McArdle. “This year, we will be auctioning

off an 8-ft. Western Piledriver. The auction will end on Veteran’s Day in November, so watch our Facebook page for all the details.”

You also can head to the new Western website that launched earlier this year, featuring enhanced navigation and an improved layout, implementing the latest digital best practices, and ensuring a strong foundation for future brand growth. Some of the features include better upload times and ADA compliance; a restructured homepage leading straight to the most sought-after products and information; and a simplified photo and video gallery.

McArdle added, “Looking beyond 2022, we are focused on providing products and services that aim to make snow and ice contractors more efficient and combats the high salt usage that pervades the industry. We continue to look at new ways to allow snow and ice contractors to move more snow and melt more ice with less labor. Be on the lookout for exciting announcements next year.”

Yoder & Frey continues to expand the business brand in the United States, with the acquisition of a new purpose-built auction facility, in Sealy, Texas, 60 mi. to the west of Houston, just off the I-10.

With a yard totalling of 57 acres total, 25,000 sq. ft. of offices and 32,000 sq. ft. of workshops and buildings, this modern facility will operate as the main auction site for Yoder & Frey in the south.

The main auction room, with a glass viewing wall looking onto the main ramp, will operate a “procession” style saleramp. In addition, offices, conference rooms and VIPaccommodation will comprise the main building. In the yard, outbuildings of 8,000 sq. ft. will be workshops, wash bays, with the main facility having 10-ton overhead gantry cranes.

Yoder & Frey are part of the Euro Auctions group, the global heavy auction specialists, with a network of permanent auction sites in, the United States, UK, Europe, Middle East and Australia. Marketing globally, Yoder & Frey are able to create interest from an international audience for all sales, attracting an educated and specialist buyer base.

The first sale is scheduled for Dec. 15.

“We are proud and delighted to invite consignors and buyers to our first Texas sale on 15th of December,” said David Hams, territory manager of Texas and the south.

“We are currently planning on hosting five to six sales a year from our new Texas facility, and this first sale will include a wide range of equipment and machinery. As the new site was purpose built, it has good workshops, washbays and spray booths, and the Yoder & Frey team will be offering customers a pre-sale valet service, meaning we can help you to prep your kit for sale.

“The location of the new site is of major importance, as we are located right on the I-10 and it’s a straight 30 mile run into Houston in the east and a direct run into the west coast, so for shipping we can get kit away quickly and efficiently. We have a number of local rental companies that have consigned equipment and machinery to this sale, so this is building to be a good first auction for Yoder & Frey.

“We are urging consignors to send us their iron, and we can turn it into cash for the holidays.”
