Micron to Build $31B Semiconductor Chip Plant in N.Y.

The computer memory chip specialist Micron has launched a plan to create an enormous manufacturing complex in the town of Clay, N.Y., north of Syracuse, by investing $31 billion to build four 600,000-sq.-ft. “clean rooms,” on the site, Spectrum News 1 in Syracuse reported.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul noted that the Onondaga County facility, roughly 40 football fields in size, will make it one of the largest construction projects in North America. In addition, the project is expected to create 5,600 related construction jobs, according to a news release from her office.

The semiconductor chip factory is slated to be constructed in Clay’s White Pine Commerce Park. With it comes the potential for bringing tens of thousands of jobs to the region, U.S. Sen. Chuck Schumer said during a news conference unveiling the project in October.

In all, Micron will invest $100 billion over 20 years, which, according to Schumer, is the largest private investment in New York state history, and is set to provide 50,000 jobs throughout the area, with 9,000 working directly for the company. The average starting salary for a Micron employee is $109,000, he added.

Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra noted that when fully built, the plant will produce nearly four billion chips a year.

He credited President Joe Biden, as well as the federal CHIPS and Science Act authored by Schumer, for setting the foundation for the plant. The measure, designed to revitalize domestic manufacturing and strengthen supply chains, was signed into law by the President in August.

“The combined efforts at the federal, state and local level paved the way for Micron to realize the largest private investment ever made in New York state history,” Mehrotra said. “We are thrilled to make this significant investment in NewYork, making the Empire State the location of the biggest leading-edge memory site in the U.S.”

Micron employs 48,000 people in 17 countries and is the fourth largest semiconductor company in the world.

“We chose this location for many reasons, but most importantly — central New York offers a rich pool of diverse talent, including communities that traditionally have been underrepresented in technology jobs,” Mehrotra told Spectrum News 1.

The White Pine Commerce Park is a 1,200-acre site near Caughdenoy Road and New York Highway 31. Site preparation for the Micron complex is going to begin in

2023, followed by the start of heavy construction in 2024, the news outlet learned.

On a visit to Syracuse Oct. 27, President Biden pointed to Micron’s decision to build the major semiconductor facility in the region as a harbinger of what is to come.

“A century ago, this region was the heartland of manufacturing, and now, the region is poised to lead the world in advanced manufacturing,” Biden remarked from the stage at Onondaga Community College’s SRC Arena and Event Center.

“We’re here to celebrate one of the most significant investments in American history, and it’s going to ensure that the future is made in America,” he continued. “It’s part of a broader story of the economy we’re building that will work for everyone.”

Call Goes Out for Tech, Construction Jobs

The building of a semiconductor fabrication, or chip fab, campus employing thousands of high-paying tech jobs, will undoubtedly lift the region’s fortunes in a way not seen for decades, national experts told Syracuse.com, the online edition of the Post-Standard newspaper.

But there is one major obstacle that could slow that progress: Who will fill all those jobs?

The work of a chip fab — etching eight billion tiny transistors onto a silicon memory chip the size of a fingernail — is specialized, to put it mildly. That does not mean it requires a Ph.D., but every position requires

some level of specialized training.

Even the construction jobs to build the facilities require special training.

That means high schools, community colleges and universities working in unison to prepare students for careers at Micron and related businesses, said Mike Russo, president and CEO at the National Institute for Innovation and Technology, a governmentfunded nonprofit that facilitates work force development for semiconductor companies.

“They should look at it as a generational change for that region, and really bring together a concerted effort to develop that talent pipeline,” he noted.

Even before the new fab clean rooms are built, experts see some potential for a shortage of construction workers capable of overseeing work on them.

Micron’s site in Clay will provide plenty of jobs for local building trades, but they will have to be trained and supervised by specialists who are familiar with the complexities of

building a fab, said Joe Stockunas, president of SEMI Americas, part of SEMI, a global trade group representing semiconductor manufacturers and suppliers.

But those specialists are in limited supply, he told Syracuse.com.

Equipment in a fabrication plant is expensive and highly sensitive, Stockunas said. One of the key tools, a lithography system for putting integrated circuits on the chips, costs about $150 million. Any buildings housing them must be built and outfitted to exacting standards.

“I don’t know anything that competes with this level of precision,” he admitted. “The welders, the pipe fitters, the construction trades, they’re all going to go through some sort of a training program, and then be supervised by folks who understand the complexities of what has to be done special.”

More than 10 years ago, at the height of construction at Global Foundries, a chip fab in nearby Saratoga County, employed more than 3,500 workers on site and the company was spending $4.4 million a day on wages and materials. Russo, who worked for Global Foundries before founding his nonprofit, said there will be more competition now for workers to build fabs.

“If you are used to building an office building or a house, that’s different than building a semiconductor fab,” he noted. “There are definitely different skill sets involved.”

Md. OfficialsAnnounce U.S. 219 Funding in Garrett County

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

As part of a four-day scheduled visit to the western part of the state, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan stopped in Grantsville on Oct. 17 to announce $77 million in funding that will complete the remaining 8-mi. segment of U.S. 219 between I-68 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, which includes 1 mi. in Maryland.

“It’s really great to be back in Garrett County,” Hogan said, and mentioned the Appalachian Regional Commission meeting at Rocky Gap inAllegany County, which he chairs. He noted that the conference is focused on regional collaboration and fostering economic development.

“Today, we’re making an exciting announcement that does both,” Hogan said. “It involves working together with our federal, regional and local partners, and it will be a major boon for both the state and local economy.As chairman of the nation’s governors, I pushed for two years to broker a deal on a bipartisan infrastructure bill.And we’re proud that Maryland has one of the most aggressive implementation strategies in America. As a result, we’re announcing that we’re committing an additional $77 million to complete the U.S. 219 extension from Old Salisbury Road all the way to the Pennsylvania state line.”

Hogan spoke of how western Maryland is an important gateway to vital commercial corridors, and for decades, improving 219 has been the number one transportation priority for local leaders, businesses and residents of Garrett County. He made a commitment at the very beginning of his administration.

In 2015, $2 billion was invested in highways and bridges across the state, including $65 million for Phase 1 of the 219 Project. Working with the county, construction on that segment was completed from I-68 to Old Salisbury Road in May 2021.

“Now, in partnership with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, we are realigning and expanding the final phase of Maryland’s eight-mile portion of the bi-state U.S. 219 corridor,” Hogan said. “The completion of this project will have a dramatic impact on economic vitality throughout the north-south corridor. Millions of tons of freight move through western Maryland every year, on I-68 I-70, I-81 and U.S. 40 Alternate, and a fully upgraded and realigned U.S. 219 will greatly enhance connections to these critical routes. It will give Grantsville residents better access points in Garrett County and in southwestern Pennsylvania.

Hogan stated that the project is another important step in the full vision for the

Appalachian Development Highway System, a more than 3,000-mi. multi-state network first established in 1965 to generate economic vitality in remote areas and to provide access to markets in the region and across the country.

As part of the presentation, Hogan also announced that this new portion of road would be dedicated to Senator George Edwards, who is from Grantsville and will be retiring in January after 40 years in the General Assembly. He spent 24 years in the House of Delegates and 16 in the Senate.

Hogan said that the project is a “shining example” of government at all levels working together. He recognized Edwards as a “tremendous champion” not just for the 219 improvements, but for all of the top priorities of western Maryland.

“He’s been a trusted and dedicated public servant in the state of Maryland for many decades,” Hogan said. “He’s been a true friend and partner with our administration. After 40 incredible years of service, he is retiring this year, and so in addition to today’sannouncementthatwe’regoingtobe building this final phase, it is also my distinct honor to officially dedicate Maryland’s portion of U.S. 219 to Senator George Edwards.”

Edwards thanked the governor for coming to Garrett County and for his friendship over a long period of time. He said that when Hogan announced he was running for governor, he asked if there was anything he could do.

“I leaned over and I said ‘yeah, you can finish the 219 project in Garrett County,’” Edwards said. “Gov. Hogan said ‘I’ll look into it.’”

He noted that this is the kind of project that involves all of the government working together to actually get something done. He mentioned the federal government, the state government and the county government. He also thanked Del. Wendell Beitzel, who was in attendance, and later mentioned assistance from Dave Moe, Colleen Peterson, Jennifer Walsh, Rep. David Trone and Sen. Ben Cardin.

Construction on the new project should begin in 2028 and is expected to be completed by 2031. The funding of $77 million includes design, right-of-way and construction.

The project builds on the previous MDOT SHA realignment to the south and PennDOT’s realignments to the north.

Benefits reported by MDOT are that the project improves conditions for economic

development by upgrading a key northsouth connector and also enables MDOT SHAto continue its US 219 project development partnership with PennDOT.

The first phase of the project took three years and a total of $63 million. It created a four-lane section of US 219 between Interstate 68 and Old Salisbury Road. This was part of Hogan’s $1.97 billion investment in highways and bridges and has been a top priority of Garrett County for decades.

The new four-lane highway has two 12-ft. lanes, an 8-ft. inside shoulder and a 10-ft. outside shoulder in each direction. The highway also includes two roundabouts, turn lanes connecting to U.S. 219 Business and a new median.

Triton Construction Inc. of West Virginia was MDOT SHA’s contractor on Phase I.

Other work in the contract included resurfacing and restriping the I-68 interchange U.S. 40 Alternate at U.S. 219 and existing U.S. 219 at the tie-in point at Old Salisbury Road; several major storm-water management facilities and underground drainage systems; environmental controls such as wetland creation and restoration; installation of LED highway lighting systems; and overhead highway sign installation.

NYC Set to Begin Two Bridges Coastal Resiliency Project

With a host of New York City officials and climate change advocates at his side, Mayor EricAdams broke ground Oct. 26 on the Brooklyn Bridge-Montgomery Coastal Resilience (BRMC) project, which will see the construction of flood walls and deployable flip-up barriers meant to protect the Two Bridges neighborhood of Manhattan from future flood surges.

The plan is designed to hold back a 100year coastal storm surge, accounting for sea level rise expected by 2050, while also maintaining access and visibility to the waterfront.

New York City’s Department of Design and Construction (DDC) estimates construction on the $522 million project will be complete in 2026, according to Commissioner Thomas Foley.

The kickoff event came three days before the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy rampage through the metropolitan area, which resulted in the deaths of 44 New Yorkers, flooded 51 miles, or 71 percent, of city land, and caused damage to more than 9,100 homes. The powerful hurricane also cost New York City $19 billion in damage and lost economic activity, according to NYC.gov, the city’s official website.

The BRMC construction, which aims to

keep the waterfront accessible and visible, is one of the four climate resiliency projects that make up the larger Lower Manhattan Coastal Resilience Project, a signature resiliency effort former Mayor Bill de

Blasio’s administration put into place in the aftermath of Sandy.

“Ten years ago, flooded subways, a weeklong blackout downtown, billions in property damage, and 44 of our neighbors killed

tragically showed what climate change can do to our city,” Adams said in a statement. “Sandy wasn’t just a storm; it was a warning. Another storm could hit our city at any time and that is why our administration is doing everything we can to prepare and protect New Yorkers.”

Adams said the BRMC, also known as the Two Bridges, project would lessen the risk of flooding for more than 44,000 New Yorkers, many of whom live in affordable apartments.

The building effort gets its nickname from the Two Bridges neighborhood that would be protected by the series of flood barriers. It is found along the East River waterfront near both the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge.

According to NYC.gov, once the BRMC construction is finished, and 72 hours before a potential storm hits, an emergency response task force will be charged with deciding when and if the city should activate its flood gates, the vast majority of which can be started by pushing a button.

The deployable barriers will be permanent infrastructure, hidden until they are flipped up prior to the storm’s arrival. The

Firm Unveils ‘Superior Women in Construction’Initiative

Superior Construction, an American family-owned infrastructure contractor, is launching an internal pilot program intended to identify motivated women in the construction industry and offer them essential tools for their personal and professional development.

Superior Women in Construction, an initiative designed in collaboration with certified executive and team coach Dale Beaman, will help cultivate an inclusive culture that aligns with Superior’s mission, vision and values.

Identifying and developing diverse internal talent is good for morale and good for business. Research shows a direct link between the diversity of a company’s leadership and its business performance, as well as profitability.

The Superior Women in Construction initiative marries both these principles and has the full support of company leaders.

“We want to be intentional in making Superior among the best places to work while building future leaders. To do that, we must remove the barriers women have faced in their effort

to advance in an industry where they’re chronically underrepresented and where few hold middle manager or executive roles,” said Nick Largura, Superior’s CEO.

“As the industry continues to evolve, we must empower women in order to advance construction. This program aims to do both.”

In developing the initiative, company executives selected 12 rising women leaders to partake in the pilot program. With their feedback, Superior identified key ways to foster

an environment that supports diverse leaders.

The pilot program officially launched on Nov. 2 and will include the following components:

•Asupportive forum to learn, grow and share experiences with their colleagues

• Monthly group coaching on customized leadership topics

• Individual career coaching sessions to personalize professional development

•Amentor program to tap the knowledge and experience of seasoned Superior leaders

• Opportunities to learn about other parts of the business through peers and mentors

• Interaction with executive leaders that increases visibility of participants’talents and skills

• Completion of a collective team project centered around creating value for Superior

“In her groundbreaking book, ‘Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead,’ author Sheryl Sandberg suggests working conditions for all women improve when more women are in leadership roles and giving a powerful voice to their needs and concerns,” Beaman said. “These cultural shifts do not happen overnight. It takes industry leaders like Superior and programs like Superior Women in Construction to affect industry-wide change.”

Superior Construction’s leaders hope the SuperiorWomen in Construction initiative will become an industry standard and transform mentees into mentors who can continue to advocate for other women in construction.

Outdoor Power Equipment Institute Holds Equip Expo

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute’s (OPEI) Equip Exposition (Equip Expo) set records this year with both exhibit space and attendance reaching new highs for the show formerly known as the GIE+Expo. Held Oct. 18 to 21 at Louisville’s Kentucky Expo Center, the show was once again collaborated with Hardscape North America, an Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI) event.

Billed as the largest trade show for outdoor power, lawn and garden, light construction and landscape equipment, the Equip Expo is geared toward providing a forum in which industry professionals can gather, learn and share knowledge, network and demo equipment from the industry’s leading manufacturers.

The event opened with a Welcome Reception at the Louisville Slugger Field. The show encompassed more than 1 million sq. ft. of trade show exhibit space, including a nearly 30-acre outdoor equipment display and demonstration yard, where attendees were encouraged to “Try it before you buy it.” The event also featured a host of educational seminars, certification courses, panel discussions and presentations covering the issues of most importance to the continued success and safety of business owners and their employees.

Equip Expo also included a free concert series with entertainment from The Crashers and country star Trace Adkins, sponsored by Belgard and Stihl.

Attracting more than 25,000 attendees and exhibitors from all 50 states and 49 countries, and with indoor and outdoor exhibit space for both Equip Expo and Hardscape North America, the 2022 event was the largest in the show’s

40-year history.

“The trade show remains the industry’s family reunion,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Equip Exposition and the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute, which owns the trade show. “This year we shook up the programming a bit and introduced lots of new ideas from an opening welcome reception and new, interactive educational sessions to Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run and Walk, a coffee bar and an expanded outdoor demo yard.”

He added, “This year’s numbers show the industry is strong and optimistic about 2023. The industry continues to innovate and bring new technologies to markets evidenced by the major product announcements, education, networking that went on.”

The Outdoor Power Equipment Institute is an industry trade association serving the interests of outdoor power equipment manufacturers and their suppliers for more than 70 years. Next year’s Equip Expo returns to the Kentucky Exposition Center on Oct. 18 to 20.

ClevelandBrothersSendsMachine,ToolstoAidinIanRelief

When the Plain Compassion Crisis Response (PCCR) sent its First Response team to Florida following the destruction brought by Hurricane Ian, it partnered with Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co. Inc. to get the tools to do the job.

Cleveland Brothers, a Cat dealer with 29 facilities across Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia, was able to leverage its network of industry professionals and equipment to put a Cat compact track loader and attachments on a truck to Florida immediately.

The PCCR first response team spent the first days of their mission helping the Louisiana-based Cajun Navy with rescue missions. In addition to their primary goal of providing Hurricane Ian’s victims with food and water, the rescue mission also included assisting people out of houses that still were submerged in standing water.

Many residents had lost their cars during the storm and were unable to travel and get supplies. During this effort, heavy debris, large trees, boats, cars and more blocked essential roadways for the crisis response. The Cat machine was able to make quick work of the obstacles, allowing the relief effort to continue.

After the initial response, PCCR is transitioning to providing leadership support for the Cajun Navy at a distribution site which provides meals, food, water and hygiene products. Due to the combined efforts from these organizations, thousands of people affected by the storm were able to receive food and supplies.

Cleveland Brothers hasn’t let their distance get in the way of the continued need for support in Florida. At the end of September, it shipped over 50 Cat portable generators from its Manada Hill, Pa., facility to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and other organizations supporting Hurricane Ian relief efforts.

PennDOT Studies Options On Philly’s Roosevelt Boulevard

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is planning to look at potential options for adding a subway or rail line on Philadelphia’s Roosevelt Boulevard.

The Philadelphia Business Journal reported Nov. 1 that in a public assembly hosted by Pennsylvania Rep. Jared Solomon, representatives from PennDOT and two other local transportation bureaus — the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA), and the Philadelphia Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability (OTIS) — discussed the proposed rail project.

Its proponents have long called for its creation to better connect Northeast Philadelphia to Center City and make one of Philly’s most dangerous roads safer.

The idea for a subway along Roosevelt Boulevard dates back more than a century, according to the Business Journal.

Ashwin Patel, a senior manager at PennDOT, said at the meeting that his agency would study what is feasible — whether it be a subway, an elevated rail line or more dedicated bus routes. That research

would be done as an expansion of the cityadministered Route for Change program for Roosevelt Boulevard, released in spring 2021.

The plan covers various short-term alternatives to making the road safer, like designated bus lanes and more direct bus routes, Patel explained. The program’s long-term solutions include rapid transit buses or making changes to the boulevard’s surface to make it more closely resemble either the Ben

Cost of Progress Will Be High

For Solomon, the commitment from PennDOT is a step toward progress. In the meeting, he said many of his constituents have told him that they “want to see change on the Boulevard,” and he is pushing for a form of rapid transit.

In addition, he noted that starting within weeks, and taking place over the next few months, he will continue to host community sessions to gather input he hopes will inform the study.

Solomon, a Democrat, said that “the name of the game is public engagement.”

“Hopefully, when that study comes out it’s going to embrace rapid transit, and then next is securing the dollars,” Solomon said.

Though an updated cost in today’s dollars has not been put forth, Patel told those at the public forum that some estimates are as high as $1 billion to $4 billion per mile for a subway project.

“If you start to throw out the ‘b-word,’ whether it’s the Tappan Zee Bridge in New York or the ongoing connectivity work in Los Angeles with rapid transit, other cities are not intimidated, don’t cower from the billion number,” Solomon said. “They respond to it, they rally around it, and they execute on a unified vision.”

He is hoping for buy-in from business leaders, community leaders and nonprofits alike, along with government agencies like SEPTA, PennDOT and OTIS, the Business Journal reported. He believes their backing can lead to a more efficient movement of goods and services in and out of Northeast Philadelphia. Businesses and schools, too, would benefit from rapid transit in the Northeast, Solomon said.

Like many other leaders in Philadelphia, he is eyeing the 250-year anniversary of the American Declaration of Independence in 2026 as a milepost for major projects — not for completion but for substantial progress.

“I see 2026 as a great marker because 2026 in Philadelphia is where we’ll be welcoming the nation to Philadelphia and Pennsylvania,” Solomon said. “It would be good to advance this project to where people see the future of an interconnected city in a way we’ve never seen before.”

ConExpoHelpsShowWhere ConstructionIndustryIsGoing

As ConExpo-Con/AGG continues to draw near, Stephen Roy, president, Region North America, at AEM member company Volvo Construction Equipment, discussed his thoughts on the show and the direction of the construction equipment industry.

Roy discussed what attendees and fellow exhibitors can expect from Volvo at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, what he looks forward to most about the upcoming edition of the show, and why it’s so important for equipmentmanufacturerstomaketheirpresence known to construction industry professionals in attendance this coming spring in Las Vegas.

We’re just a few short months away from ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s been almost three years since the construction industry came together in Las Vegas for the show. With that in mind, what are you personally looking forward to most about the 2023 edition?

Roy:Forme,it’sreallybeingabletohighlight where Volvo is and where we’re at in our journey during a time that has been transformative in our industry. ConExpoCon/AGG offers us a chance to showcase whatwehave,gatherfeedbackfromourcustomers and engage our industry partners.

To really make a show like ConExpoCon/AGG work, the face-to-face aspect of it is so important. I think that’s why Las Vegas is the perfect venue for it. It attracts so many people, and with all the changes we’re seeing in our industry, I think it’ll be the perfect environment for people to find the latest and greatest innovations, as well as learn what will help their business succeed.

What does it mean for Volvo to be a part of the largest trade show in North America? And along those same lines, what should people expect to see from Volvo this coming year?

Roy: At Volvo we consider ourselves a change agent in this industry. Our theme is actually “Change startshere.Bereadyforit.”So,forus at Volvo, we want to be at ConExpoCon/AGG to help illustrate where we see the industry going and how we are preparing our customers to be ready for it.

We’re not alone in this, but some of things we will showcase at the show will really highlight howVolvo is driving a focus on sustainable power and automation, and how we can help our customers be more productive, more efficient and more successful in their efforts to serve their own customers.

We always say our goal is to make cus-

tomers successful with their customers, so that’s the approach we’re taking. More specifically, we’ll have a mix of existing product, product that’s coming out soon and some forward-looking product that — like I mentioned before — will illustrate where the industryisgoing.Thatmeansafocusonsustainability, using electric machines and other sustainable power. We’ll showcase small compact electric equipment, all the way to larger equipment that has a mix of electric and diesel.

One thing that’s extremely important for us, and an area of focus forVolvo, centers on solutions for our machines. There’s no doubting the value and importance of the machines themselves. However, to maximize productivity and uptime, it takes the right solutions. So, at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, we’re going to showcase a lot of telematics platforms, a lot of productivity platforms, as well as machine controls — solutions, to increase productivity and uptime.

ensure attendees at shows like ConExpoCon/AGG get the most out of their time spent with your organization?

Roy: We’re very focused on making events and exhibitions like ConExpoCon/AGG a really valuable experience, so when our attendees are in the booth, they have access to the right information and the right experts who can answer their questions — and we want them to have fun in our booth too.

However, we don’t want to forget all those folks who won’t be able to be with us in Las Vegas this coming March.And, while there’s every reason to expect the show to welcome another record-breaking crowd, we’re also aware there are probably just as many people who are interested in what’s taking place in Las Vegas, but they aren’t able to travel there. So, we’re really focused on offering a valuable virtual experience as well.

We know for sure that we’ll have a lot of folks from the construction industry at the show in Las Vegas. But there are still plenty of people who are considering it and making that decision at this point. If you could provide a piece of advice or a thought for them to consider, what would you say?

Roy: This show is once every three years. The technology shifts since the 2020 show are quite significant. And I think being there faceto-face helps secure a true sense of where the industry is going. Additionally, as an OEM, we want feedback from our customers, too. We want to hear what they struggle with and how can we support them as we continue to develop leadingedge machinery, but also solutions that will support their fleet and their job operations.

ConExpo-Con/AGG every three years? Why is it so important for companies to make their presence known at this particular show?

Roy: I think there are a couple of major reasons why. For me, I think it’s a great time toseecustomersinoneplace,reconnectwith customers and talk about the business at hand, as well as how we can support them. But it’s also for OEMs to reach new customers and new customer segments.

The construction equipment industry is quite diverse. We’re seeing customers and applications today that maybe we weren’t talking to in the past — especially with the introduction of zero-emission, low-noise electric machines — so it’s exciting for us to pursue some of these new and valuable opportunities.

It’s a really exciting time to be in the construction industry, as well as the equipment industry serving construction customers. With that in mind, as you look forward to this show and even beyond, what industry trends are you excited about in the future, and what trends do you think are going to be on display or showcased at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023?

Roy: First and foremost, I think our customers are looking to make sure they become more efficient, more sustainable, and how they can support their customers. I think that you’ll see that when it comes to electrification, we’ll have discussions around autonomous and teleoperations machines as labor continues to get tight.And we’ll continue to focus on how to improve safety, productivity and uptime for our machines. Those are things customers today say consistently are important and will be more important in the future.

Is there anything else you’d like to add?

Roy: One thing we’re very excited about is having our Gold Rush stars with us at ConExpo-Con/AGG, and it’s really exiting that we’ll have an electric-powered rallycross car that’s part of the FIA World Rallycross racing organization, right now in Europe, but making its way across the globe soon.

You’ve mentioned Volvo will have a lot in store for folks that stop by and visit your booth at the show. We’ve seen industry exhibitions and events continue to evolve, change and even grow over time. In what ways has Volvo responded to

Turning that question on its head a little bit, we know it’s important for attendees to be there, but on the exhibitor side of things, what do you think the value proposition is for those who decide to make such an investment in exhibiting at

And then, on behalf of my fellow colleagues at Volvo, I just want to say ConExpo-Con/AGG is our time as an industry to show where the construction equipment is going and the changes that are coming, as well as an opportunity for equipment manufacturerswhosupporttotheshowtobe recognized for their efforts in driving transformational change within the construction industry.

Turner Building Cost Index...

TurnerAnnouncesWagesUp for Industry’s Skilled Labor

Turner Construction Company announced that the third quarter 2022 Turner Building Cost Index — which measures costs in the non-residential building con struction market in the United States — had increased to the value of 1311. This repre sents a 2.18 percent quarterly increase from the second quarter 2022 and an 8.62 percent yearly increase from the third quarter 2021.

“We are experiencing a robust market with numerous mega-jobs. A shortage of skilled labor continues to lead contractors to be more selective in the projects they pursue. Wages are increasing to attract more labor into the industry and to incentivize skilled labor to travel to meet project needs,” said Attilio Rivetti, the Turner vice president responsible for compiling the Cost Index.

line was acquired back in 2007, and Barry Equipment successes are due to outworking the competition with the back-end support of the PPC team. The ability to offer powerful, industry-leading equipment along with unparalleled technical advice, trained and proficient personnel while maintaining a head of class inventory of stocked parts are some of the key factors for Astec and Barry’s success. With the addition of these two new lines to Barry under the OneASTEC Initiative, we’re excited to bring that same experience, passion and customer focus to the paving and road building crews of New England.”

Newly appointed General Manager Jake Dubreuil, with 23 years of industry experience, is equally excited to expand Barry’s footprint across the New England Region.

Roadtec pavers are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 15 to 30 ft. paving width with a max paving speed of up to 300 ft. per minute.

“Timing is as important, if not the most important aspect to consider when taking on a new product line. Previous experience within the road building industry still carries the same recipe for success: hard work, keen focus on customer support, factory trained/certified technicians and parts personnel coupled with a specialized focus on sales. With these tools in our toolbox, Barry Equipment is excited to further our partnership with Astec and are very pleased to be part of their innovative movement of product manufacturing and design.”

Astec Industries designs Roadtec and Carlson equipment with heavy-duty components for maximized uptime, capable of handling jobs paving roads, highways, parking lots and more. Roadtec pavers are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 15 to 30 ft. paving width with a max paving speed of up to 300 ft. per minute.

The addition of the new products also has coincided with the opening of Barry Equipment’s newest location in

Connecticut. Located in South Windsor, the team offers parts and equipment sales, and with a 5,000 sq. ft. service facility nearing completion, in-house service will soon be available, assisted by two overhead cranes.

Other brands within the Barry Equipment lineup include Doosan excavators, wheel loaders and other forestry equipment, Astec horizontal grinders and chippers, Rotobec grapples, Yanmar compact equipment, Dynapac compactors, ASV track loaders and more. Barry Equipment was named the “Doosan Dealer of the Year” in 2021 and looks to bring that same status of excellence to its Roadtec and Carlson customers.

Grote Industries Develops New 4SEE Smart Trailer System

Grote Industries is continuing its mission of creating and leading safety-related innovation by developing the 4SEE smart trailer system, a combination of hardware and software that will enable truck fleets to have much more access to data related to their operations and help improve safety on the roadways.

Currently, only 5 percent of the three million trailers on the road in North America are considered smart trailers. Grote Industries is increasing this number with 4SEE, projecting the ability to deliver this groundbreaking technology to 34 percent of trailers by 2027.

Smart trailers allow more insight and accessibility than the location-focused telematics systems of today provide. They enable drivers to receive critical notifications through a mobile app on their smartphones about problems such as low tire pressure, lights that are about to go out — even crucial information in the event that a trailer is stolen, or the cargo is damaged in transport.

“Grote Industries has its eyes set on the future,” said Dominic Grote, CEO and President. “The tech revolution in trucking is currently under way, and with 4SEE, Grote is at the forefront of that, giving operators the capability of tracking their fleet easier and keeping drivers and cargo safer on the roads.”

Historically, technological advances in trucking have focused on the cab. By turning that attention to the trailer, fleet operators will have even more control over safety, security, efficiency and cost savings.

Smart trailers allow even more insight and accessibility than the location-focused telematics systems of today provide. They enable drivers to receive critical notifications through a mobile app on their smartphones about problems such as low tire pressure, lights that are about to go out — even crucial information in the event that a trailer is stolen, or the cargo is damaged in transport.

Grote Industries’4SEE technology works by connecting the harness, nose box and multiple sensors, creating unique data points for fleets to utilize. 4SEE hardwires all the components with an innovative digital harness system that connects without grease and has a single connection point — the 4SEE nose box — to cab inputs.This allows a driver or fleet manager to have all outputs in one place.

The 4SEE technology has the ability to integrate with existing telematics solutions, so it becomes part of the fleet’s one solution for data needs.

ogy is more paramount now than ever, as 2021 data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration shows that traffic fatalities reached a 16-year high. The proximity sensors that are part of the 4SEE system will assist drivers in changing lanes, notifying the driver if a vehicle is in the blind spot of the trailer.

The goal of the 4SEE system is to bring all the independent solutions together into one system, with a common communication stream, without increasing the harness or hardware required on the trailer. The 4SEE digital harness system also provides modules to connect legacy hardware and digital hardware to the same harness while isolating them to prevent one piece of the system from interfering with any other.

“We are already testing these smart trailers, and have over 500,000 miles completed, soon to cross the 1-million-mile threshold,” Grote said. “In so many ways, semi-trucks are the backbone of America, and this technology can start helping businesses immediately.We’re already taking orders and plan to have 4SEE available as soon as October.”

Recent supply chain issues have plagued hundreds of industries, but Grote Industries is able to offer supply chain security by manufacturing 4SEE in NorthAmerica at its own facilities. Additionally, Grote’s 4SEE smart lamps — which help trucks avoid Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) fines and citations — are being manufactured in Madison, Ind., reinforcing Grote’s commitment to providing supply chain solutions and jobs in North America.

Fontaine Specialized Helps Lead Tri-State Trailers Sales

A lot can happen over a decade. Just 10 years ago, construction trailers accounted for approximately 5 percent of Tri-State Trailer Sales stock.

At that time, Tri-State Trailers Sales recognized an opening for a trailer provider with expert knowledge in the unique applications and laws that impact the construction industry. While the company’s trailer lines continue to address virtually every application in trucking, the dealership made a committment to position itself as a leading authority and source for construction industry-related hauling. Within five years, the dealership’s construction trailers business grew to 10-15 percent and the pattern has continued with the segment representing 30 percent of the company’s business today.

In addition to diversifying the sales stock, Tri-State Trailer Sales has made a commitment to service its customers 360 degrees by offering all types of specialized trailers to rent for as little as one day to long-term leases, at each of its four fullservice locations through the company’s leasing division, TSTL, Inc.

“It’s all about understanding the needs of our customers,” said Tri-State Trailers Sales Territory Sales Representative

axles.

According to Infield, the construction industry has been the dealership’s biggest growth market and Fontaine Specialized, which manufactures all of the trailers mentioned above except for traveling axles and tag trailers, is the company’s leading trailer provider in the segment.

Among the Fontaine Specialized trailers Tri-State Trailers Sales offers are:

• the Workhorse line available in capacities from 50 to 55 tons, close coupled (not spreader capable), with fixed flat level deck match to a tridem ride bogie and optional flip axle. Infield said that the 55LCC model is among the most popular for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania;

• the Magnitude 3+1 spreader capable trailer line is available with flat level deck (FLD), drop side rail deck (DSR) or beam deck configurations (BMD), and with either a fixed or modular (M) tridem ride bogie and in capacities ranging from 55-60 tons;

• the Magnitude 3+2 modular spreader capable tridem trailer line is available with a flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR) or beam deck (MBMD) in 60- to 75-ton capacities;

• the Magnitude 3+3 modular spreader capable tridem

trailer line is available with a flat (MFLD), drop side rail (MDSR) or beam deck (MBMD) in capacities up to 80 tons;

• the Xcalibur line of flatbed or dropdeck extendable trailers are available in lengths that stretch from 48 ft. to 80 ft. or 53 ft. to 90 ft. with excellent adaptability in a variety of hauling applications; and

• Fontaine’s Renegade, a 30- to 40-ton range fixed tandem bogie available with hydraulic or mechanical gooseneck and optional flip-axle. Renegade models are available in loaded deck heights that range from 20 in. down to the 12in. mini-deck.

Infield said a key advantage of Fontaine’s Workhorse and Magnitude models is its unique hook and shaft design at the front of the company’s trailers. “On rough or uneven terrain, this feature makes it much easier and quicker to reconnect the gooseneck” he said. “There’s no more alignment needed than getting the gooseneck under the hooks.”

According to Infield, these trailer models are popular with contractors because deck space is a full 26 ft., free and clear. In addition, the ride height adjustment on both the gooseneck and suspension of Fontaine’s hydraulic detach models have seven settings, making them an extremely user friendly and a very versatile trailer.

“Tri-State Trailer Sales is one of our company’s leading dealers,” said Fontaine Specialized Sales Manager Tyler Vickers. “Over the past three to five years, the dealership’s business has grown exponentially and the company’s focus on being informed about the construction industry is largely responsible for that growth. Their sales team is extremely knowledgeable. We’ve worked very closely with them to provide in-person and online training, plant tours and we’ve have accompanied them on sales calls. With a fleet of trailers selected to meet a wide range of construction industry needs, and backed by outstanding service, Tri-State Trailers is really focused on providing the right solutions for its customers.”

Randy Infield. “Some of that comes from training and experience, but it also involves knowing the right questions to ask. It’s important to factor in what the customer is hauling, what the permit requirements and what the weight restrictions are where the hauling is taking place. Transportation requirements in the construction industry are incredibly diverse, ranging from oversized loads and extreme weight to small, relatively lightweight compact machines. We’ve incorporated what we’ve learned from our customers and our suppliers to tailor our stock to meet the needs of our customer’s transportation challenges.”

Location plays a major role in trailer choice, according to Infield.

“A lot of companies operating in Pennsylvania in need of a low, 18-in. loaded deck height trailer, choose Fontaine’s Workhorse 55LCC over their Magnitude 55L Plus,” he said. “The 55LCC doesn’t need a spreader bar to haul 55 tons and it has a longer gooseneck, so it doesn’t require a flip neck extension, For companies with a multi-state business range, the Magnitude 55L Plus, equipped with a gooseneck extension, would be favored because it meets nearly universal state road and highway regulations.”

Tri-State Trailer Sales’ lineup of construction trailers includes hydraulic detach trailers, mini-decks, double-drops, hydraulic tails, multi-axle lowboys, tag trailers and traveling

The Workhorse 55LCC model is among the most popular for contractors and equipment haulers in Pennsylvania.

Right Equipment Makes Big Impact for Family-Owned Biz

By Chris Pokornowski TOWMASTER TRAILERS

As small business owners step into the journey of growing their business, identifying the equipment that supports you in working the way you work can make an incredible impact on the trajectory of your business. It’s important to understand what kind of tools and equipment can bolster your business, and what kind could hold you back.

For a small business owner, each decision can make a big difference.

Small business owners need to consider their business goals first to understand what they need from their tools and equipment. Towmaster talked with the owner of a family-owned landscaping business and he shared his perspective on what to look for when choosing landscaping equipment.

Family-Owned Small Business

Mulder Maintenance and Services (MMS) is a family-owned commercial and residential hardscaping and landscaping business in northern Indiana. Owned and operated by Andy Mulder, MMS has been designing, building and maintaining landscaping sites since 2013.

Mulder started his career in high school, working after classes, on weekends and on school breaks. After graduation, he entered the field of landscaping and snow maintenance full time. In 2013, Mulder had already spent more than a decade in the industry, and was ready to branch out and start a business of his own.

For over 15 years, Mulder has utilized his skill, expertise, creativity and superior craftsmanship to grow his business, give back to

“I was looking for something that was more heavy duty, and could handle the larger equipment we kept

as we were growing so much,” said Andy Mulder.

his community and provide residential and commercial property owners with their ideal outdoor spaces.

Identify Your Priorities

For MMS, the right tools and equipment were key to steady growth over time. In the early years of business ownership, Mulder knew he had to make an investment into the tools and equipment that would support him in working on his own terms. When it came time to choose a truck trailer, Mulder needed to make sure he was making the right decision.

“I was looking for something that was more heavy duty, and could handle the larger equipment we kept purchasing as we were growing so much,” said Mulder.

After going over his business goals, and tapping into the experiences he has had up until that point, the key decision making factors were: build, quality, weight capacity and customization capability.

Good Equipment Makes All the Difference

Armed with an understanding of how he wanted to grow his business, Mulder went to his local dealership to discuss trailer options.

“I had heard nothing but good things about Towmaster from my dealer and also from watching the trailers that Tom [The Dirt Ninja] had on his Youtube channel. My dealer let me try a T14DT for an afternoon and allowed me to haul my 10k lb. track loader around and I was sold instantly.”

Mulder ultimately chose Towmaster because of the build quality.

“I have never used a trailer that feels more solid than these. You literally don’t even know it’s loaded with the weight you put on it,” said Mulder. “The I-Beam frame is a big selling feature. They are just night and day different from other trailers I have used in the past. I also love that you can get different style ramps for any trailer you want.”

Mulder’s first trailer was customized exactly to his needs, and as a result, he was able to grow his business on his terms. Now, MMS has grown into a company of six people who focus on creative outdoor landscaping solutions that require a high level of attention to detail.

Future of Mulder Maintenance and Services

The future is bright for Mulder Maintenance and Services, as it continues to grow its business and expand its customer base in 2021 and beyond. As his business advances, Mulder will continue to tap into the experiences of his team and his business goals to understand what equipment he’ll need in the future.

“The next time we buy a trailer we will be buying a T-50 that can haul two or three machines at the same time with one truck,” said Mulder. “I couldn’t be happier with my Towmaster trailers.” 

Felling Trailers Unveils Re-Engineered Utility Reel ‘R’Series

The Felling Trailers’ utility cable reel “R” series model lines have undergone design modifications to increase operator safety and ease of use.

The most significant update to the model design is the auto-locking reel bar system. The auto-locking reel bar system eliminates the use of pins and brackets; it now utilizes a locking plate system.

The new reel design with the auto-locking system debuted to the Utility/Telecom industry at the 2021 Utility Expo in Louisville, Ky. The R series product line offers payload capacities ranging from 1,740 to 13,520 lbs.All models have the capability to load up to a 120 in. diameter reel.

Enhanced operator and transport safety, the auto-locking reel bar system’s locking plates automatically open when lowering the reel to the ground for unloading. As the reel is loaded and raised, the locking plates automatically close to contain the reel bar. Once the reel is raised to transport position, spring-loaded pins automatically lock the slides into place.

When the pins lock, they provide visual validation to the operator that the reel is properly locked for transport. A green marker on the springloaded pins is only visible when the reel bar is properly secured. The green indicators can be viewed from the rear-view mirrors of the tow vehicle, making transporting conduit, fiber optic cable, inner duct and many other reel-mounted materials a safe and secure experience for any operator.

The new R series design was released into production in fall 2022 and will reach full production by the first quarter of 2023.

“These are quality-built trailers that provide the versatility and functionality that utility workers need for transporting, deploying, and retrieving material,” said Felling Trailers Utility & Telecom Product Specialist Mark Rapp.

HitchDocEyesExpansionWithNewHydraulicSnowblowers

By Ruksana Hussain CEG CORRESPONDENT

When Brad Mohns was frustrated at the delay in receiving a motorcycle hitch that he had ordered, he proceeded to build one in his farm shop in Minnesota. Other motorcycling enthusiasts saw the hitches that he had designed,andtheorderssoonpiled up. That was 1990.

Today, Mohns is the owner and president of HitchDoc, a leading manufacturer of consumer and industrial products for agricultural, construction and heavy equipment industries. A lot has transpired in the three decades that the familyowned company has been in operation, including expanding to a 190,000-sq.-ft. facility in Jackson, Minn., that serves as the headquarters.

HitchDoc is known for its Dual Dozers, Sandpiper Spreaders and snowblowers, among other products. The HDS48MS and HDS60MS mini-skid steer snowblowers are the latest offerings and were just released inApril.

“We do have a history of making larger pieces of equipment and attachments for a variety of industries. For us, this is similar territory to our current hydraulic blower lineup for skid steers and wheel loaders. The HDS48SS and HDS60SS were very specifically and intentionally designed for mini-skid steers, and that is being drivenbytheincreasedinterestand demand in those types of machines,” said Richard Lund, who joined the company in 2020 as a marketing specialist, bringing 17 years of experience in commercial and industrial scale manufacturing.

machine that it hooks on to instead of having a separate diesel engine.

“That makes it still heavy enough to be effective through snow but lighter and therefore more efficient for the machines that are pushing it,” said Lund.

Purdue Develops SMART Platform With INDOT Funding

Purdue University civil engineers have developed a fully automated, portable system to estimate the volume of stockpiles of bulk supplies like salt and other materials used in industrial, highway and agricultural applications.

The Indiana Department of Transportation funded the research through its Joint Transportation Research Program. Apaper about the innovation was published in the peer-reviewed journal Remote Sensing.

Stockpile management is important in roadway maintenance, which uses salt to deice roads to keep traffic flowing safely, and in other applications. Government agencies are increasingly interested in tracking stockpiles to assess their environmental impact, including effects on roadside vegetation and the salinity of surface water. Salt and sand also may affect pavement durability.

Jeremy McGuffey, statewide winter operations manager of INDOT, said the department has nearly 120 salt storage buildings around the state and that most locations visually estimate the volume.

“This is inherently incorrect and will vary

from person to person,” McGuffey said. “If I pointed to a pile of stone on the ground, could another person accurately tell me the volume of that stone based on sight alone?

“There are a few locations that use survey equipment to take measurements based on the exterior size — the height and width — of the stockpile, but those don’t account for depth. Many of our buildings are full of salt year-round, and there is no way to reach the back side of the pile to determine how long it is.”

Traditional methods to measure stockpiles use field survey procedures that last several hours and expose surveying crews to dangerous conditions. Modern LiDAR technology — or light detection and ranging technology — is safer and more reliable, but its peak performance is confined to wellplanned scanning and complex data processing schemes when dealing with large indoor sites.

Salt monitoring and reporting technology, or SMART, was created by Ayman Habib, the Thomas A. Page professor of civil engineering, and Darcy Bullock, the Lyles Family professor of civil engineering, both of Purdue's Lyles School of Civil

Engineering.

Habib said SMART integrates consumergrade sensing modalities of imaging and LiDAR units to acquire stockpile data in fewer than 10 minutes per facility, even in challenging environmental situations.

“SMART also uses an innovative dataprocessing strategy that can handle this data for accurate evaluation of stockpile volume as well as provide a visual record of the mapped facility in the form of colorized point clouds,” Habib said.

SMART is more precise, more costeffective and safer than traditional commercial technologies to estimate the volume of stockpiles of bulk materials.

“The technology estimates volume with less than 1 percent error and costs less than $10,000; existing technologies cost more than twice that,” Habib said. “It also allows for practical, quick and safe data acquisition. Some traditional technologies require an operator to climb the stockpile, which leads to extended and unsafe data acquisition.”

McGuffey said SMART has already brought positive results to INDOT.

“With the system we developed with

Purdue, the empty dimensions of the building are solved for first, and then the salt pile’s volume can be easily calculated. The LiDAR system bounces light off the pile millions of times to collect the information we need to determine the volume,” McGuffey said. “The other huge plus is that this system is mostly automated with the only real human interaction being the initial install and then periodic cleaning.”

Habib and Bullock disclosed the information to the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization, which has applied for a patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. For information about licensing opportunities, contact Dhananjay Sewak of OTC at dsewak@prf.org about 2021-HABI-69512.

Habib said the next steps in developing SMART are to package the system so it can be permanently mounted in a storage facility to allow for automated data collection, to strengthen its ability to work in storage facilities with domed rooftops, and to enhance the value of the data by driving colorized points.

which was addressed by eliminating the engine, gearbox and fuel tank, and improving balance, visibility and safety at transport speeds. Lesser noise pollution and no diesel emissions made it better for the environment and for use in public spaces.

HitchDoc also is known for the Dual Dozer which it has been manufacturing for more than 20 years. It features a dual-sided cutting edge and rearmounted casters so operators can push or pull material and grade in any direction. This saves the operator time while providing a smooth, level finish without leaving tracks that need to be smoothed over manually.

Behind every product offering is an effort to provide a solution to address pain points experienced by manufacturers. New products are engineered with quality improvements and work efficiencies keeping in mind customer and industry needs. Seeing the quality of Mohns’ work, HitchDoc’s Contract Manufacturing Division was first established in 1994. Between that and its own manufactured products, the company has upgraded its facilities several times in the last 30 years, now serving more than 10 industries and boasting more than 140 employees.

Despite the 2008 recession, HitchDoc management added product lines through acquisition and development. One such acquisition included bringing Kwik-Way Manufacturing in Sioux Falls, S.D., under its umbrella in 2016. That now serves as a secondary location for the company with 20 employees and has many fabrication capabilities available. It also allowed HitchDoc to quickly expand its product offering in the dirt works area. The Jackson facility houses flat lasers, flame/plas-

ma cutting, tube lasers, welding, machining, forming, parts finishing, paint line and full product stocking and assembly lines. The company is quality certified ISO9001:2015 and environmentally certified ISO14001.

Even through the pandemic, HitchDoc has witnessed busy days. While there wasn’t a shutdown of operations, a slowdown was inevitable.

“Supply chain is the name of the game but as a company we were able to continue to move forward,” said Lund. “We don’t have a lot of need for chips so that hasn’t necessarily had an impact but other commonly used pieces, electronics, hydraulic supplies … everybody swipes for the same limited supplies out there.”

Confirmed product deliveries weren’t possible during that time.

“It’s hard to forecast or give customers a firm delivery date when your raw materials don’t have firm delivery dates. That’s been a challenge, but we’ve worked exceptionally hard with our suppliers and customers to keep our build schedule on track,” he added.

The snowbelt is where HitchDoc has a stronger, higher concentration of customers and dealers but the company has representation nationwide and internationally, including as far as New Zealand. Dealer training is typically hosted at the dealer location upon request and HitchDoc is looking to strengthen its presence in other parts of the country too as it builds up business for 2023 and beyond.

HitchDoc is participating at ConExpo-Con/AGG in Las Vegas in March 2023 and a variety of other shows throughout the year.

Hitachi Rail Unveils New $70M Train Factory, Test Track in Hagerstown, Md.

Hitachi Rail unveiled the final designs and images on Oct. 18 for its new $70 million train factory and 800-yd.-long test track soon to be erected on a 41-acre site in Hagerstown, Md.

When fully operational, the manufacturing plant will sustain 1,300 jobs, with up to 460 people working directly for Hitachi Rail on site. The new jobs will command total earnings of $350 million per year and bring major economic benefits to the D.C., Maryland and Virginia region, according to a news release from the company.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan joined Hitachi Rail CEO Andrew Barr and other elected officials at the site of the future Hitachi Rail factory, expected to be complete in 2024 along Greencastle Pike in Hagerstown.

“It is exciting to see the new Hitachi Rail factory coming together as the associated economic benefits — including 1,300 jobs — will be an absolute game changer for Washington County as well as the entire region,” Hogan said in his remarks.

“This transformative project is further proof that the Hagerstown region is a major logistical center for rail transportation with unparalleled connections to the northeastern United States and is yet another shining example that Maryland is truly open for business.”

Construction Effort On Schedule

The factory’s design presentation included a construction update from Minnesota-based Ryan Companies, the lead site developer. It said that following the project’s announcement in March 2022, the land for the rail plant is now clear, and a concrete deck and the majority of the 248 external concrete walls — each of which is 13-ft.-high, 36-ft.-long, and weighs around 35,000 lbs. — is on schedule.

In total, construction crews will require 1,050 tons of steel to complete the factory building, including joists, girders and structural steel columns. The creation of the facility also will require pouring 12,430 cu. yds. of concrete, enough to fill almost four Olympic-sized swimming pools.

The Hagerstown plant’s manufacturing capability will be enhanced by innovative technological solutions, Hitachi Rail noted, drawing on its century of expertise and global manufacturing heritage to deliver its most advanced digital factory to date.

As a business committed to becoming a climate change innovator, Hitachi Rail also will use the latest techniques to create a factory that uses energy and resources efficiently to protect the environment.

Washington Metro to Get First Order

The train maker added that once complete, the factory will begin work to deliver its first order of 256 new 8000-Series railcars for the Washington Metro service. The contract, announced in March 2021, includes options for up to 800 more railcars to the capital region’s 50-year-old commuter system.

When production is at full tilt, the Hitachi Rail factory will be able to manufacture up to 20 railcars per month in a single shift, with the capability to produce a wide range of trains from metro to high-speed services.

“With construction of our new train $70 million factory on schedule and progressing well, we are one step closer to delivering a new, high-quality fleet for theWashington, D.C., region’s Metro,” explained Barr. “It is exciting to be able to release the final designs of our new facility with its cuttingedge Lumada [data platform] technology. Manufacturing pioneering trains is core to our business, and this factory, with its new workforce, will have the capability to build trains for all North America.”

The 8000-Series Metrorail trains are designed to increase reliability, offer modern on-board technology, and an improved passenger experience. The Metro trains will have popular features that include on-board Wi-Fi, digital screens to provide improved travel information, high-definition security cameras, ventilation system improvements, stringent cybersecurity requirements, heated floors and improved regenerative braking, according to Hitachi Rail.

The all-electric vehicles, with 130 seats per pair of cars, will be a major upgrade when they replace the 2000- and 3000-series fleets, which have been in service since the early 1980s. For the Washington Metro, the new fleet will help improve service for its passengers, be easier to maintain, and reduce costs.

Plant Should Be Boost to Hagerstown Region

The Maryland Department of Commerce and Washington County worked with Hitachi Rail to bring the facility to Hagerstown, Hogan’s office noted. They hope the construction and operation of the factory will be a major economic boost to the area, with nearly 60 percent of the construction value of the plant and test track to be spent with suppliers from across the region.

Small businesses are expected to benefit too, with more than a quarter of the total expenditure anticipated to go to Small Business Enterprises (SBEs). In addition, it is expected that once the company begins to hire in early 2024 and reaches 1,300 direct, indirect, and induced jobs, those earnings will total more than $350 million per year.

Hitachi Rail’s investment in Maryland represents a continuation of its commitment to improve passenger and freight rail transportation in the United States, the company said in a statement. Across North America, the company currently employs more than 1,400 people and has its headquarters in Pittsburgh, Pa.

While the Hagerstown factory will focus on building trains, Hitachi Rail is delivering programs across the entire transportation sector, from major signaling systems to building completely new railways, and supporting rail freight companies nationwide. 

FluidAnalysisIDsProblemsEarly;KeepsMajorWoesatBay

“Perhaps nothing is so important and so often overlooked in machinery maintenance as fluid levels,” said Indianapolis, Ind.-based Caterpillar dealer McAllister Machinery. “Analyzing engine oil, fuel, coolant and hydraulic fluid tells an internal tale describing the health of your machine.”

These analyses also are indicators of maintenance effectiveness and predictors of potential failures, believes the company.

Why, How of Fluid Analysis

Fluid analysis detects problems early, so they can be repaired before they become major failures, said McAllister.

The process helps in scheduling machine downtime and in developing a completeservicehistoryforamachine.It improves the opportunity to get top dollar for used machines when the decision is made to offload older rigs through resale or trade-in.

“For maximum protection, you need oil sampling for all major oil-lubricated systems and coolant sampling for your cooling systems,” advised McAllister. “By pinpointing fluid troubles early, you can avoid shutdowns for unplanned repairs and even catastrophic failures.”

Hand in hand with fluid maintenance goes monitoring equipment condition. It should be an overall part of a contractor’s preventivemaintenanceplan,saidthe Caterpillar dealer.

A dedicated program of equipment condition monitoring helps prevent breakdowns and unnecessary repair costs that can rob a company of efficiency and profit.

McAllister’s list of key elements involved in the monitoring process includes advanced fluid diagnostic capabilities that allow the equipment manager to better assess the condition of a rig.

“Regular care and preventive maintenance of machines are priorities for heavy equipment,” said McAllister. “That includes routine machinery maintenance you do as the owner as well as outsourced maintenance with assistance by equipment professionals.”

Set Maintenance Schedule

An unexpected breakdown, forcing unscheduled maintenance, can be a huge crimp in a project schedule, especially if the machine plays a major role on the job site.

Poor equipment productivity due to downtime and neglect is a leading contributor to increases in unexpected project costs, believes Phillips66 Lubricants.

Approximately 800 to 900 productive hours annually is what a contractor can expect from a piece of equipment, according to the company, based in Houston, Texas.

“Based on a 40-hour work week that translates at best to a productivity rate of only 62 percent,” Phillips said. “That means

most pieces of heavy equipment have a productivity rate improvement window of nearly 40 percent, which can have a big impact” on the bottom line.

Phillips believes one of the easiest and most impactful ways to improve productivity is to adhere to a preventive maintenance schedule for each piece of equipment.

At the same time, a dedicated, fleet-wide preventive maintenance program reduces downtime and increases revenue.

“Preventive maintenance occurs on a pre-determined schedule, regardless of whether the equipment shows problems operating or not,” according to Phillips. “It allows you to identify and address any defects before they can evolve into more expensive and large-scale issues.”

Though maintenance tasks will be dictated by an equipment manufacturer’s recommendations and the vehicle itself, most rigs have engines that require similar checks, including:

• Engine oil: Use top quality engine oil and other lubricants, advised Phillips66.

“Although engine oil represents just a small fraction of your total maintenance costs, it can have a big impact on your bottom line.”

Skimping on quality or selecting the wrong type of engine oil can lead to more serious issues, costly repairs, longer downtime and lower productivity later on.

“Find the right high-quality oil for your vehicles and keep your equipment running smoothly.”

• Fluid levels: Check the coolant, transmission, brake, fuel and other fluid levels, advised the company. Frequent drops in fluids indicate a leak that must be identified and repaired.

“As with engine oil, make sure you are using correct type of high-quality fluids to prevent costly repairs.”

Among Phillips’ tips for extending the life of heavy equipment is to regularly maintain and service your machines with highquality lubricants.

“Regularly inspecting and changing the oil and other lubricants is the most important part of preventative maintenance,” said the company.

Because the demands put on a lubricant vary greatly with different components and operating conditions,lubricantshavesignificantly different physical and chemical characteristics.

That’s another reason consistent use of the correct oil maximizes the life and performance of equipment. “Don’t top off with an incorrect oil for convenience,” said Phillips.

But using the right amount of lubricant matters too. Too little can increase the risk of friction and equipment wear, while too much can build up and cause performance issues.

Prevent Equipment Failure

As Phillips sees it, in an ideal world there would never be breakdowns and equipment would operate 100 percent of the time at 100 percent capacity.

“But in the real world, equipment failure happens. The business impact can range from minimal and easily fixed to catastrophic.”

A catastrophic failure happens suddenly and causes a rig to cease operation, not only damaging the machine, but causing collateral damage as well.

Equipment continues to operate during a functional failure, but it cannot function according to design specs and likely requires a shutdown to correct the problem.

Understanding the why behind equipment failure can prevent an occurrence. It’s your first line of defense against unexpected equipment downtime, said Phillips.

Surface degradation, consisting mainly of corrosion and mechanical wear of machine parts, results in equipment failure in 70 percent of cases.

Corrosion is particularly problematic in equipment operated in harsh climates or conditions where moisture, dirt or salt can contaminate components.

Water increases the speed at which oil oxidizes, which ultimately leads to the part operating within an acidic environment.

Corrosion of vital industrial parts is among the most common causes of equipment failure, said Phillips.

Mechanical wear — abrasive or adhesive — happens when machine surfaces mechanically rub against each other.

Abrasive wear occurs when particle contaminants, such as dirt or wear debris, cause metal surfaces to become pitted and scored.

Adhesive wear occurs when two surfaces come into direct

contact with each other and transfer material from one surface to the other.

To prevent machinery failure caused by surface degradation, keep machinery and internal parts well lubricated and sealed particle contaminant ingress, said Phillips.

The company advises contractors to make sure equipment is well maintained and has parts regularly replaced.

“Also, keep it clean and stored in an appropriate place, and only allow it to be operated by those trained to do so.”

Proper lubrication — using the correct type and amount of oil, grease and fluids — is integral to avoiding equipment failures and to keeping your business running smoothly.

One of the best ways to prevent corrosion and wear, lubrication also protects against heat and contamination and decreases noise in bearings.

“When equipment is properly and regularly lubricated, it has the highest chance of maximum service life,” according to Phillips.

Avoid Improper Greasing

Improper lubrication results from lack of procedures, over- or under-greasing, poor labeling, the wrong lubricant, mixing products and improper handling and storage.

“Without the right technician for the job or the correct procedure, improper lubrication may occur,” warned Phillips.

Over-greasing, the company said, leads to higher operating temperatures and aggressive machine contamination. While highly damaging under-greasing can cause noise, it can go unnoticed in a loud environment.

Correct labelling decreases the risk of cross-contamination and resolves confusion over which lubricants to use.

Applying the wrong lubricant can cause component failures and voids equipment warranty. Mixing products leads to component failures.

“Maintenance personnel need training on the correct ways of handling and installing bearings and using lubricants,” advised Phillips. “Even the most minute particles can enter a small dent and cause contamination.”

Key is implementing and adhering to documented lubrication procedures and making sure every technician is properly trained on them.

In fact, it is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your equipment is properly lubricated at all times.

Another critical step is integrating a labeling system and determining the output of grease guns while calculating the regrease requirements for bearings.

Doing so will avoid both over-and underlubrication, and is a great place to start the program, said Phillips66.

“Finally, check the owner’s manual to ensure that you are using the OEM-recommended lubricant for each piece of machinery.”

Consistently using the correct, high-quality lubricant “is the most important thing you can do to avoid costly equipment failures and to keep your equipment and your business running smoothly.”  CEG

By Brenda Ruggiero CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) continues to move to open a new bridge at the site of the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pa., less than a year after its collapse.

The bridge on Forbes Avenue between Squirrel Hill and Point Breeze collapsed on Jan. 28, 2022. Under an emergency grant of $25.3 million from the federal Department of Transportation, PennDOT began work on Feb. 3. The contract was awarded to Swank Construction under the direction of Pete Douglas. Plans are to open the bridge before the end of the year and fully complete the project later in 2023.

The contract includes the bridge collapse demolition and new bridge design and construction.

Doug Thompson, principal assistant construction engineer, PennDOT District 11, said that early on, PennDOT offered to help the city and provide expertise.

“I guess they entered into a legal agreement in the first few days with the city so that PennDOT could take over the design and construction responsibilities for the project, to replace the bridge,” he said.

Jason Zang, assistant district executive, construction, PennDOT District 11, said that they were also talking closely with FHWA in regard to how they could proceed as quickly as possible.

I think. The goal was to get the bridge replaced as quickly as possible. That’s always been the goal.”

Thompson reported in late September that the collapse was first cleaned up, restored and wasted, and a concurrent design and construction was begun.

“Actually, the design started about a month before we could start construction because we had to have some plans for the foundations prepared, so right out of the gate they did core borings and started on their foundation design,” he said. “Pretty quickly out of the gate, we narrowed down the construction type. We basically determined the width of the bridge — the bridge needed to be the same that was out there now due to the right of way that the city had through a park and everything.”

Once the span configuration was determined, the contractor worked quickly to determine the most quickly available structure type: steel or concrete. Based on cost and availability, pre-stressed concrete I-beams were chosen.

The contractor arranged for the rental of two large track cranes to erect the beams. The largest came in on more than 50 tractor trailer loads and the other one was on 25 tractor trailer loads.

Another challenge was the protection of what is referred to as “the gatehouse,” a historic pavilion structure made of stone right at the corner of the bridge.

“The big driving factor in the schedule was when could the beams be delivered,” Zang said. “We took that date based on when the beams could be delivered and we backed into April … so we weren’t out there just pitter-pattering around. We wanted to be efficient, so there was some time there where there wasn’t much going on on site, but there was a lot of the design work going on. But we based the groundbreaking on when we started our foundation. It was all based on when the beams would show up.”

got them in and erected two a day for the first two spans. So, we had the first 14 beams erected, two a day, and then they brought in span three from a different direction, not through Pittsburgh but from the eastern side of Pittsburgh through Monroeville and they backed them up the street. That drew a lot of attention when they closed the street and backed them up Braddock Avenue and onto the site.”

“They basically said what you want to do is pick a contractor and that’s how we did it,” he said. “So, we picked a contractor and we picked a consulting firm right out of the gate and that was I think day one or day two. That was right there after the collapse. In all PennDOT districts, the primary function is putting projects out to bid, so it is kind of our specialty of getting projects out to contract and to bid. None of us want to see that in our career and I hope we never have to see it again, but that bridge carries like 20,000 vehicles a day,

As the beams were being constructed, the designers were finalizing the columns and pier caps on top of the caisson foundations and designing the abutments. The beams started arriving in on July 25.

“There were some challenges associated with that,” Zang said. “They could deliver two beams a day. Once they came into Pittsburgh, the city coordinated and escorted the beams through the congested areas of Oakland. Oakland’s a pretty busy area, so they escorted the beams through Oakland, we

Next, the contractor arranged for the rental of two large track cranes to erect the beams. The largest came in on more than 50 tractor trailer loads and the other one was on 25 tractor trailer loads.

“They erected the Span 2 beams with the large crane that was sitting up on the abutment,” Thompson said. “They erected those Span 2 beams onto Span One and then the next day they had a smaller crane, although it was a very large crane. And they had a smaller crane sitting down in the valley. Then they did a two-crane lift — a dual lift — and one crane picked either end of it while it was sitting on Span One.Then, they both lifted it into position in Span 2 because there just wasn’t a crane available with the radius and capacity to lift the beam from behind the abutment clear out to the center span.”

Concerning challenges, Thompson spoke about the effort involved to quickly, concurrently design and construct a bridge and literally start construction when you only have the foundation plan to prove.

“Another big challenge I personally have dealt with, like Jason [Zang] said earlier, we’re really good at developing designs and preparing a bid package and putting projects out to bid and contractors bid on a project and give us a price for a bridge,” he said. “But

SkanskaWins$167MContractto ReconstructWilliamsburgBridge

Skanska USAannounced that it has been awarded a contract by the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) to carry out the $167 million rehabilitation of the Williamsburg Bridge, providing needed improvements and replacement of aging components across the structure.

The project will significantly improve transportation flow across one of the major crossings of the East River, connecting Brooklyn to Manhattan.

“We’re thrilled to be providing infrastructure improvements to one of New York City’s vital East River crossings, which serves thousands of commuters each day, to and from Manhattan and Brooklyn,” said Bill Matre, senior vice president and general manager of Skanska USA Civil.

The rehabilitation includes structural

steel repairs throughout the bridge superstructure, inclusive of floor beam repairs, a transit hanger retrofit and temporary jacking system, gusset plate repairs, truss bottom chord repairs, top and bottom lateral bracing strengthening, overhead truss diagonal replacements, intermediate towers repairs and transit stringer repairs.

Additionally, the project includes the replacement of modular joints at the anchorages and approach piers and bearing rehabilitation at approach piers, a full replacement of the bridge fire standpipe system and the replacement of the existing bridge asphalt overlay system.

The project commenced in October 2022 and is expected to reach final completion in December 2025.

BRIDGE from page 96

[with] this one, there was nothing to bid.”

Instead, the contractor and designer were selected and then prices were negotiated. As the bridge was being designed, the foundation plans were approved, so that cost was negotiated.

“We were negotiating the cost piece by piece, which is pretty challenging, but we’re getting through it,” Thompson said.

On the design side, he noted that PennDOT design project managers went through the process on a very accelerated schedule.

“Hats off to the designers,” Thompson said. “We still have to follow all the design processes even though there’s emergency procedures in place. So, they’ve done a great job with doing what they can to still have the public involvement for all the environmental processes and getting some public involvement on the art aspects of the bridge. That’s challenging just to expeditiously get public involvement while at the same time hurry up and build the bridge.”

Working with utilities also has been a process, including relocation and a 16-in. gas line that was severed during the collapse.

Another challenge noted by Thompson was the protection of what is referred to as “the gatehouse,” a historic pavilion structure made of stone right at the corner of the bridge.

“We had to figure out how to protect that while we excavated down,” he said. “That gatehouse was a challenge that we worked through.”

The structure was 2 ft. from vertical construction and a temporary shoring wall was built in front of it.

Thompson reported that plans call for a polyester polymer concrete overlay to be incorporated into the project to protect the concrete. This is something new to Pennsylvania.

He also noted that the columns on the bridge will have form liners to make them look similar to the cut sandstone

on the original bridge foundations. They will be stained to match some of the existing sandstone abutments that were maintained on the bridge.

“We looked around to see what aspects of the old bridge did we want to try to leave around, such as the old abutments just to maybe tell the story of what was there in the past,” Thompson said. “We decided to leave the old foundations from the K frames in place as well and it was thought that possibly somebody might want to try to put a plaque up or something and tell the story of the bridge collapse and have those old foundations there potentially for that use.”

According to Zang, one of the biggest challenges was just the high-profile nature of the project.

“Because the bridge collapsed and it had national attention; it was the day President Biden happened to be in Pittsburgh,” he said. “So …everyone’s looking at it and we’ve been very careful and very cautious with what we’re telling the public. We’re keeping a close eye on the schedule and the team has really been working hard. Everything’s overlapping. This is completely different than what we’re typically doing in Pennsylvania and it is allowing the project to go a lot quicker because you have construction happening while design is happening. It’s not linear like every other project.

Smaller equipment such as excavators, dozers and small cranes are owned by the contractor, but large cranes were rented.

Major subcontractors for the project include PENNSTRESS of Roaring Springs, Pa.; Weatherspoon and Williams LLC of Coraopolis, Pa., for beams; Hall Industries, Elwood City, Pa., for bridge railing; and HDR of Pittsburgh, Pa., for the design.

The new bridge includes 21 beams, 150 ft. long and approximately 8 ft. tall and more than 1,000 cu. yds. of concrete on the deck. The bridge is 100 ft. high over the trail.

Traffic was detoured on the day of the collapse and has remained so throughout the project. This also includes pedestrians in the area.  CEG

As the beams were being constructed, the designers were finalizing the columns and pier caps on top of the caisson foundations and designing the abutments.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) continues to move to open a new bridge at the site of the Fern Hollow Bridge in Pittsburgh, Pa., less than a year after its collapse.

One of the biggest challenges was just the high-profile nature of the project.

location of the flood walls and posts were conceived to minimize conflict with subsurface infrastructure and to maximize integration of public space amenities, such as openair seating, fitness equipment and athletic courts.

Adams Calls On Feds to Help Fund Protections

The Adams administration also announced a new program — Climate Strong Communities (CSC) — as part of the city’s strategic climate strategy.Acentral initiative of AdaptNYC, CSC is a community engagement and project development program that will help create the next pipeline of resiliency projects that target multiple types of hazards. It will focus on neighborhoods that have not received help from existing or planned Sandy recovery projects.

In addition, during the BRMC groundbreaking ceremony, Adams also called on the federal government to create a coastal infrastructure formula funding program that will provide approximately $8.5 billion in pre-disaster mitigation grants to enable New

York City to complete many of its critical resiliency projects, including the following:

• Coney Island Creek Raise Shoreline

• Bushwick Inlet Park

• Coney Island Boardwalk and Beach

• East Harlem Coastal Resiliency

• Financial District and Seaport Climate Resilience Master Plan

• Manhattan Waterfront Greenway

• Wetlands Management Framework for New York City

• Forest Management Framework for New York City

• Tibbets Brook Daylighting Project

• Raise Shorelines 2.0

“We have embarked on some of the largest urban climate adaptation projects in the country,” Adams said. “New York City’s infrastructure projects are more complex, novel and unparalleled compared to any otherAmerican city, but many remain in various stages of completion, and we need our partners in the federal government to help provide us with regular and reliable resiliency funding. We must continue to act quickly to bolster our defenses, prevent damage and save lives.” 

With Mammoth Semiconductor Chip Plant in Fold,Attention Now Turns to Traffic

New Infrastructure Also Needed Around Clay, N.Y.

The Syracuse area, and the northern suburbs, could experience rapid growth from the Micron endeavor. Now is the time to start planning for that, advised Dennis Brobston, president of the Saratoga Economic Development Corp., which helped lure Global Foundries to the small rural town of Malta.

“It’s all about traffic,” he added.

Even now, 13 years after Global Foundries broke ground for its $15 billion facility, the Malta area suffers from unanticipated traffic congestion on certain roads and intersections, he said.

Congestion is already prevalent on N.Y. 31 in and around the Micron property. State transportation officials have committed to spend $200 million on road and infrastructure improvements around the fab site, said Ryan McMahon, an executive with Onondaga County.

“Traffic will actually get better

because of the improvements that will have to be made,” McMahon explained to Syracuse.com.

In addition, central New York will need more housing, Brobston said, more hotels for construction workers and others with temporary assignments at the chip factory, as well as new daycare facilities and schools.

Micron’s semiconductor facility in Clay is likely to draw employees from abroad, too, at least in the early years. When the plant starts production, as early as 2025, many of the first employees will be experienced staff from other fabs, Stockunas told the Syracuse news source. Most of Micron’s manufacturing facilities are in Asia.

“They’ll definitely be bringing in experienced folks,” he said.

Memory Chips Heart of Everyday Technology

Semiconductors help convert power from a standard outlet into the electricity needed for any given electronic device. They are found in many every-

day devices, from smartphones to appliances to vehicles.

Micron manufactures chips for computer memory and storage uses, like memory cards and solid-state drives.

The ability to use voice-to-text technology on your smartphone, advanced safety features in your car and precise medical imaging in doctor’s offices depend on fast and accurate data, Mehrotra said at the SRC Arena.

Work in the memory space makes access to data easy, and therefore it is “at the heart of all of these technology applications today,” he said. “We are the clear technology leader in memory, and we’re now bringing that leadership in technology and manufacturing excellence to right here, in Clay, New York.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, demand soared for semiconductors, also referred to as “chips,” and the United States scrambled to strengthen domestic manufacturing to stave off consumers’ dependence on imported chips from overseas.
