Contractor Places Bridge On Pennsylvania Turnpike, Crushes Tight Deadline By Full Six Hours

By Colin Kund SPECIAL TO CEG

Over the weekend of Oct. 15, 2022, H&K Group Inc.’s (H&K’s) Structures Division successfully completed an Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC) project for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission in Lehigh County.

Only a handful of ABC projects have been completed in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The project involved the replacement of NB-363 over Huckleberry Road (T-559) at Milepost A-59.20, located approximately 2 mi. north of the Lehigh Valley Interchange. The existing structure was a three-span, rolled steel multi-beam bridge, and it was replaced with a single-span, plate girder structure.

New substructure units were constructed under the existing superstructure and the new superstructure was constructed on temporary falsework, on the east side of the existing structure.This technique eliminated the need for many of the traffic restrictions normally associated with this type of bridge replacement.

Groff Tractor & Equipment Makes Big Donation to ‘Toys for Tots Program’

ABC: Construction Job Openings Rise By 36,000 in Sept.

The construction industry had 422,000 job openings in September, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors’ analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTS).

In the holiday spirit of giving, Groff Tractor & Equipment in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pa., made a big donation to the U.S. Marine Corps “Toys for Tots Program.”

Employees at Groff’s six branches in Pennsylvania not only donated 342 unwrapped toys, they also had a friendly competition and built 61 bikes that will go under the Christmas tree to brighten the season for countless children in Central Pennsylvania.

Groff Tractor & Equipment filled two backhoe loaders with the unwrapped toys for pick-up by the Marine Corps Carlisle, Pa., Chapter on Dec. 1 at 11 a.m. at company headquarters at 6779 Carlisle Pike in Mechanicsburg.All 61 bikes also were on display outside of the building to make the holidays truly magical for kids in Cumberland, Perry and York counties.

“Each and every year, the generosity and teamwork of our employees when asked to donate to Toys for Tots makes me extremely proud,” said Groff Tractor & Equipment President/CEO Mike Savastio. “It takes a lot of time and effort to coordinate, collect, transport and finally, to donate toys every year. All kids deserve to have a good Christmas and it is great to see our employees come together to help make the holidays brighter for kids in central Pennsylvania.”

For the Build-A-Bike Challenge, Groff employees purchased 61 bikes, ranging from tricycles to 24 inches for boys and girls, and delivered them in a UHaul to the different branches in Mechanicsburg, State College, Ephrata, Ebensburg, New Stanton and Cranberry Township. Workers then had to beat the clock and assemble the bikes in the fastest time. The team from State College won the Build-A-Bike Challenge, assembling two bikes in six minutes, 11 seconds.

Groff Tractor & Equipment has been donating to the “Toys for Tots Program” since 2018. In the past five years, Groff has donated more than 1,100 toys and bikes to “Toys for Tots.” 

JOLTS defines a job opening as any unfilled position for which an employer is actively recruiting. Industry job openings increased by 36,000 in September and were up 74,000 from a year ago.

Construction workers quit their jobs at a lower rate than they were laid off or discharged for the first time since February 2021.

“Given healthy Construction Backlog Indicator levels and elevated Construction Confidence Index readings, it is not surprising that the number of available, unfilled construction jobs openings increased in September,” said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu. “The No. 1 challenge for contractors continues to be securing sufficient numbers of skilled, motivated construction workers.

“Job openings across all industries increased in September, which means that the Federal Reserve won’t pivot away from its hawkish stance on inflation anytime soon,” said Basu.

“Rather, interest rates are likely to continue to rise as the Fed battles inflation. Firms focusing on infrastructure projects may continue to remain busy even if the economy ends up in a deep recession next year, due to a combination of current backlog and the expectation of major public infrastructure spending.”

JESCO Holds Its First Drill Day Event in Lumberton, N.J.

JESCO held its first Drill Day event Nov. 15, 2022, at the company’s facility in Lumberton, N.J.

Approximately 75 local utility contractors attended the event, which included a mud mixing class, drill demonstrations, tips on utility locating and hands-on drilling experience.

Tom McGrail, operations manager of JESCO, Lumberton, N.J., spoke about the importance of the mud mixing class.

“Usually, there is an operator of a directional drill who knows how to properly use the machine, but depending on the ground conditions, you also need somebody who is going to understand what tools and fluid additives you need to manage these conditions,” he said. “This is where the mud engineer comes in — he or she knows exactly what to do with any type of ground condition.

“When you are drilling down hole, you are supposed to be using fluid to help remove the ground cuttings and at the same time secure the hole,” he added. “What we are trying to do is educate people on how to

do that. Some contractors do not use any fluids, and some just use a bentonite and water mix. We want to help educate them on how to mix mud in all different situations and what products they should be using to make their jobs easier.”

Carl Poche, mud engineer and account executive of Velocity Drilling Fluids, led the

mud mixing class.

“I am teaching them about drilling fluid importance so when they are making these bores and using this equipment, they know how to move cuttings that they are drilling through when they are installing products such as utility lines or fiber,” said Poche. “I teach them how to alter their fluid to get the

best maximum capacity of their equipment to get maximum profit.”

When asked about the importance of JESCO’s Drill Day, Poche said, “There is really not good information in the industry and contractors don’t always take the time to learn on their own, due to lack of resources.”

Carl Poche (R), mud engineer and account executive of Velocity Drilling Fluids, instructed attendees on how to alter their fluid to get the best maximum capacity of their equipment for maximum profit.

DesignofPedestrianSwingBridgeAlongInCamdenBegins

Although it will take nearly four years to complete, a pedestrian/bicyclist bridge under Camden, N.J.’s Ben Franklin Bridge connecting the city’s waterfront to Cooper’s Poynt Park, is set to begin design work in January.

The new swing bridge, estimated to cost $5.2 million in design and construction, would join Camden’s Delaware River waterfront promenade, which now ends near Water and Pearl streets, to the park on the north side of the Ben Franklin Bridge. The promenade starts in the south at the Battleship New Jersey mooring and Wiggins Waterfront Park.

TAPinto Camden reported Nov. 23 that Camden County has not named the source of funding for the project’s construction costs, estimated to be $4.3 million. That figure came from a project study and the county’s Request for Proposals for the preliminary and final engineering design of the structure. The RFPs were due Dec. 6.

“We took feedback directly from our stakeholders, officials and residents who want better access to and from the Delaware River,” Camden County Commissioner Jeff Nash said in a statement in response to a TAPinto Camden inquiry.

“When this is finished, this area will be

yet another important asset here in the city of Camden as this project will increase the pedestrian traffic along the waterfront by an estimated 3,000 pedestrians/bicyclists per day.”

A September 2021 study of the project

commissioned by the county, the city and the nonprofit Camden Community Partnership reported that about 70 pedestrians and bicyclists currently use the promenade, but new development along the waterfront would increase the traffic to the

number cited by Nash.

The design will include a covered swing bridge at the end of the waterfront promenade to allow boats from the Delaware River Port Authority (DRPA), owner of the Ben Franklin Bridge, to access the inlet under the Ben Franklin, which connects Camden to Philadelphia.

A bridge providing boat access was requested by the DRPA, and the authority also asked for a roof over the bridge to protect pedestrians from the potential of falling debris from the 96-year-old suspension span, according to the 2021 study.

Plans include building a second bridge, fixed and uncovered, to lead from the swing bridge to a path to Cooper’s Poynt Park, TAPinto Camden noted.

Camden County spokesperson Dan Keashen told the news service that the swing bridge project timeline calls for the preliminary design to be completed in January 2024, with the final design to be ready in February 2025, followed by 18 months for construction because of New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection restrictions concerning building in water.

If all goes to plan, the pedestrian/bicycle bridge could open in September 2026.

Messick’s Christmas Light Show Returns for 10th Year

At Messick Equipment in Mount Joy, Pa., the annual Christmas light show is back and bigger than ever.

The show, featuring thousands of Christmas lights and video displays choreographed to music, is celebrating its 10th year raising money for local charities. Located at 1475 Strickler Road in Mount Joy, just off of Route 283, the new Messick’s location has allowed the show’s creators to enhance the display with large-format video projections, an outdoor viewing area and improved audio.

Those visiting can enjoy the show from the comfort of their cars while music is broadcast over FM radio. Alternatively, a seating area with bleachers also will be available for those wishing to sit outside. The display runs nightly from Dec. 2 through Dec. 28 between 6:00 and 9:30pm.

“It’s really become a Christmas tradition for many families in our area,” said Neil Messick, one of the show’s creators. “Now that we’ve moved to our larger Mount Joy location, we hope that we’ll be able to provide an even more impressive display with the new additions this year. It’s certainly not

an event to miss, especially when considering that it’s by donation and you don’t even have to get out of your vehicle. The added bonus is that every penny goes to these charities we’re happy to support.”

Last year, Messick’s collected more than $48,000 in donations during the event with the help of dozens of volunteers who greeted

visitors and directed traffic. Since the show’s inception nine years ago, more than $360,000 has been raised for local charities. Donations are completely voluntary and are at the discretion of visitors.

All proceeds collected will be distributed to Mennonite Disaster Service, ECHOS (Elizabethtown Community Housing and

Peter DePaul Sr. PassesAway atAge 95

Peter DePaul Sr. of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., formerly of Ambler, Pa., passed away on Dec. 2, 2022. He was 95.

Born April 18, 1927, in Philadelphia, Pa., he was the son of the late Anthony Joseph and the late Mary Louise (nee Pettit) DePaul. He attended Germantown High School and shortly after, left to join his father in the small general contracting business they started, Tony DePaul and Son in 1946.

By the 1950s, the company had developed into a highway construction and utility contractor. In the 1960s, Tony DePaul and Son entered into their first million-dollar contract, which involved the reconstruction of the Spring Garden Street Tunnel and a host of other PennDOT projects. Together with city work and utility work, these projects demonstrated the company’s growing ability and diversification.

Mr. DePaul then took this growing business and diversified it to a number of other enterprises, including shopping centers, apartments, health

care, golf courses and hospitality, construction materials and home building, employing more than 1,200 people.

Throughout his life, Mr. DePaul served on numerous boards, including Temple University and Blue Cross. He was the co-founder of Eagle Downs Racing Association, Continental Racing Association and

Keystone Race Track, known today as Parx Casino. He also co-founded Madison Bank in 1989, now a part of Tompkins Bank. In his lifetime, he was a major benefactor to Thomas Jefferson Hospital, Philadelphia Convention Center, LaSalle College High School, Mt. St. Joseph Academy, NorwoodFontbonne Academy and Gwynedd Mercy Academy.

He is survived by his wife, Nevis (nee Roman) Dragani DePaul; his children, Donna (Dave) Bartynski, Alison (Greg) Schmitt, Cindy Saponaro, Susan Ramos, Andrea (Nello) Naticchione, Lisa (Jose) Ramos, Donna (Jack) Williams, Anthony (Eileen) DePaul, Alfred (Concetta) Dragani, John Dragani; 27 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren. He was predeceased by his son, Peter DePaul Jr. and two grandchildren, Nello Naticchione IV and Stephanie Favata.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Mr. DePaul’s name to Nello Memorial Committee, 409 Stenton Ave., Flourtown, PA 19031.

Construction to Take Flight in 2023 On New $4.2B Terminal 6 at JFK Airport

Judge Lets NYSDOT Plan, Not Build, I-81 in Syracuse for Now

A New York State Supreme Court judge on Dec. 5 modified his earlier injunction halting work on the Interstate 81 project in Syracuse to allow state officials to do paperwork necessary to award the first construction contract for the $2.25 billion project.

But the order from Justice Gerard Neri still prohibits the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) from doing any physical work on the highway until a lawsuit aimed at blocking the I-81 project is decided.

Syracuse.com, an online news source, reported that attorneys for NYSDOT said the latest decision could save taxpayers “tens of millions” of dollars that would be at risk if the agency misses a Jan. 14 deadline to complete the first contract.

A rendering of the new Terminal 6 at JFK Airport, where construction is set to start next year.

A brand new, $4.2 billion terminal at John F. Kennedy International Airport in Queens, N.Y., will begin construction early next year, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Nov. 17.

The state’s chief executive, fresh off a narrow election victory for her first full term in office, said that a financing and lease deal had closed and environmental approval by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been secured for the new 10-gate, 1.2-million-sq.-ft. Terminal 6, expected to handle its first passengers in 2026 ahead of final completion in 2028.

This project is the final piece of the JFK Vision plan to get under way, and it will complete the transformation of the airport into a 21st century global gateway, she said.

“JFK International — the nation’s door to the world — will soon be worthy of New Yorkers, providing an unparalleled passenger experience,” Hochul said in a statement. “[JFK Vision’s] historic $18 billion investment will not only transform JFK into a world-class airport, but also create 4,000 jobs in the process, and I thank everyone who put in the years of hard work to move this project forward.”

The latest terminal will be a new air hub for Lufthansa and JetBlue at JFK, with Terminal 6 set to connect with JetBlue’s Terminal 5. While waiting on their flights, passengers will be able to enjoy 100,000 sq. ft. of new shopping and dining options, and to view works by local artists.

Financing, Approvals Completed

JFK International’s latest terminal will be built in two phases, according to amNY, a free New York City daily.

The facility’s financing and approvals are all set for the first phase, to start construction in 2023 atop the site of the old Terminal 6 — now an underutilized lot used for plane storage — on the northern side of the airport, said Rick Cotton, executive director of the PortAuthority of New York and New Jersey, which operates JFK International.

Phase Two of the new terminal will replace the existing Terminal 7, set to be demolished. Its main tenant, British Airways, is slated to move into the newly revamped Terminal 8.

Financing for the massive construction effort will mostly come from private funders, amNY noted. The PortAuthority will commit $130 million in capital funds for “enabling infrastructure,” while the rest will come from money raised

by JFK Millennium Partners, a consortium of investors including Vantage Airport Group (which oversaw development and operations at LaGuardia Airport’s new Terminal B), the private equity firm American Triple I, RXR, a real estate developer, and JetBlue.

“At this point, the financing of this deal is fully in hand, the private partners are fully committed, and the Port Authority is fully committed,” Cotton said at the body’s monthly board meeting on Nov. 17. “This represents the full funding, the full commitment, and the ability to execute on what was the full original vision for the transformation of John F. Kennedy Airport.”

He added that Terminal 6 is the “final piece” of the agency’s transformation of JFK International. Construction broke ground on a $9.5 billion Terminal 1 in September. A $1.5 billion expansion of Delta’s Terminal 4 also is under construction, while British Airways is set to begin flight operations at Terminal 8 later this year after that $400 million modernization is complete.

Three Metro Airports Seeing Major Upgrades

The work at JFK is just one part of the Port Authority’s massive campaign to transform New York’s once-maligned airports into glitzy gateways to the “City That Never Sleeps,” according to amNY.

Ribbons were cut on two new, $4 billion terminals at LaGuardia earlier this year, bringing world-class pizzazz to an airport once famously compared by President Biden to a “third-world country.” In the coming weeks, the Port Authority also will open the newly reconstructed, $2.7 billion Terminal A at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey, replacing the reviled existing terminal of the same name.

JFK International’s Terminal 6 project was significantly derailed and delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, Cotton noted. With the financial uncertainty brought by COVID, the original deal fell apart and the planned April 2020 groundbreaking never happened.

Finally, as the disease began to fade, the newly reconfigured airport terminal partnership was approved in August 2021, while the final deal was signed in November 2022.

Lawyers for Renew 81 for All, the group that sued to stop the I-81 project in its current form, did not object to NYSDOT continuing its planning so long as no physical work is being done.

In a ruling from the bench, Neri changed his temporary restraining order of Nov. 10 that prohibited any work — including paperwork — from going ahead at least until the lawsuit returns to court in January.

Specifically, his pronouncement said NYSDOT “may undertake engineering, design, contract review, respond to questions, ensure that bonding and insurance requirements are met, but are prohibited from undertaking any on-theground changes for the project until further order of the Court.”

Renew 81, led by former Syracuse Police Chief Frank Fowler, is fighting NYSDOT plans to replace the I-81 viaduct through Syracuse with a street-level community grid. The group claims the plan would increase pollution and traffic jams, among other problems, and advocates replacing the viaduct or building a “sky bridge” through the city.

NYSDOT approved the community grid plan earlier this year after 14 years of study, according to Syracuse.com.

At an upcoming Jan. 12 hearing, lawyers for Renew 81 will present oral arguments aimed at persuading Neri to nullify New York’s environmental review of the community grid plan and to require the state to “proceed with an alternative.’’ NYSDOT will argue that Renew 81′s case should be dismissed.

The Syracuse news source reported that the first of eight contracts for work on the I-81 project is due to be awarded by Jan. 14, according to Meredith Lee-Clark, an assistant attorney general representing NYSDOT. Missing that deadline would be costly, she told Neri, adding that the state would lose months of work and millions of dollars if it were forced to rebid the contract or award it to the second-choice bidder.

On the other hand, Lee-Clark noted if the state loses the Renew 81 lawsuit and must nullify the contract after signing it, NYSDOT would only be liable to pay the contractor for work done to that point. State officials told Syracuse.com no physical work is scheduled to start on the I-81 project until at least March 15, 2023.

Neri also indicated that he would allow the city of Syracuse to join the lawsuit as an interested party on the side of the state. 

ESCR Project Receives ‘Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines’Verification

NYC Department of Design and Construction (DDC) Commissioner Thomas Foley announced that the East Side Coastal Resiliency (ESCR) project, which is enhancing parks while creating a 2.4-mi. long flexible flood barrier extending from Montgomery Street on Manhattan’s Lower East Side up to Asser Levy Playground at East 25th Street, has been selected to receive “Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines” (WEDG) Verification from the WaterfrontAlliance.

ESCR is a $1.45 billion climate resiliency project that will provide flood protection and improve open spaces for more than 110,000 New Yorkers, including 28,000 residents in NYCHA housing. This is a significant improvement for neighborhoods in the ESCR project area that were severely impacted by Superstorm Sandy in 2012.

Managed by DDC, the project involves significant upgrades to public open spaces and five parks, including improved waterfront access through reconstructed bridges and entry points. It also will upgrade existing sewer systems to capture and manage precipitation during storms.

Construction of ESCR began near Stuyvesant Cove Park inNovember2020.InJuly,thecityannouncedthereopening of Asser Levy Playground along with a new 45-ton sliding floodgate. The entire project, which is being done in phases to keep park areas open for use by area residents during construction, will be completed in 2026.

“As we continue to expand coastal resiliency throughout NYC, it’s important we incorporate designs that highlight sustainable and eco-friendly elements,” said Deputy Mayor of Operations Meera Joshi. “It’s an incredible achievement to DDC and ESCR to receive WEDG verification and demonstrates how to incorporate innovative green design into resiliency projects.”

“The East Side Coastal Resiliency project is recognized all over the world and DDC is honored that the project has received ‘Waterfront Edge Design Guidelines’Verification,” said Foley.

“The city is building for the future and incorporates designs that will account for climate change and works with sponsor agencies to improve infrastructure for vulnerable communities. Thank you to the Waterfront Alliance for recognizing this project’s design and its’role in providing flood protection and recreational areas for 110,000 NewYorkers in the Lower East Side.”

“We congratulate the city of New York in achieving WEDG Verification for its East Side Coastal Resiliency Project,” said Waterfront Alliance President and CEO Cortney Koenig Worrall. “The rigor and transparency of the WEDG process means that the highest standards of resilience, access and ecologically sound waterfront design have been applied to this consequential project.

“WEDG inspires innovation and recognizes projects that go beyond what is minimally required. As the city takes on new infrastructure projects to adapt to the changing climate, those responsible for planning and execution, as well as local communities, will rely on resources like WEDG. Together, we will transform the urban landscape to meet climate change head on.”

TheWaterfrontAlliancebecameanindependentorganization in 2007 when a group of leading activists, businesses, foundations, and civic organizations came together with the goal of making the New York and New Jersey harbor a shared, resilient, and accessible resource for all. The Waterfront Alliance has grown into a coalition of more than 1,100 organizations working together to bring about real change to the region’s waterways and 700 mi. of shoreline.

The WaterfrontAlliance created the WEDG rating system that recognizes developers and landowners for resilient, sustainable, and accessible waterfront projects. WEDG provides guidance and establishes design standards across six categoriestailoredtothecomplexitiesofwaterfrontdevelopment including site assessment and planning, responsible siting and costal risk reduction, community access and connections, edge resilience, natural resources, and innovation.

WEDG Verification is only awarded for projects that successfully pass a technical review of the project’s design against the WEDG standards. Each project is assessed by engineers,landscapearchitects,andotherprofessionalscoordinated by WaterfrontAlliance.

ESCR was cited by the WaterfrontAlliance for many features including the project’s ability to reduce risk from coastal hazards, emergency preparedness plan, community engagement, quality of public access areas, waterfront greenway connectivity and inventive design.

Inc.

RetiresAfterNearly50 Years With Company

It was an end of an era for the Foley Inc. switchboard in Piscataway, N.J., but it also was a start of a new chapter for Foley employee, Karen Foley, who recently retired after almost 50 years of employment.

She started with Foley as a co-op student in high school and stayed with Foley her entire career. She has often been the first face and voice everyone sees or hears when they encounter Foley, and she has made lasting impressions and friendships with visitors, customers, vendors and employees alike, according to the Caterpillar dealer.

“After 48.9 years here at Foley, it is time for me to say so long,” she said. “Throughout those years, Foley has become a family to me (and not just because we have the same last name!) Coming from my heart, thank you to the Foley Family, my co-workers, and customers, for all the wonderful memories. But now all good things must come to a close. I wish you all a safe and healthy holiday and a happy New Year.”

“It is with sincere gratitude that we thank you for all your years of service and always being here through snow, sleet, and hurricanes, (dressed to impress!),” said the company. “You will be missed.” 

Wirtgen W 100 Fi Spearheads New Machine Generation

At the beginning of this year Wirtgen celebrated the market launch of its completely redesigned generation of compact milling machines. Technologies from the F-series large milling machines have now been integrated in the W 100 Fi, W 120 Fi and W 130 Fi compact milling machines.

Wirtgen also will be showing another innovation at bauma 2022 — for the first time, compact class machines can be fitted with a comfort cabin. This not only increases the safety of machine operators, but also the comfort of their workplace, according to the manufacturer.

Cold Milling Machine With Environmentally Friendly Engine Technology

The front loaders with working widths of 3.3, 3.9 and 4.2 ft. feature the latest and currently most environmentally friendly engine technology compliant with EU Stage 5 / U.S. Tier IV Final exhaust emission standards. The diesel engine delivers a rated output of 355 hp. (265 kW).

Wirtgen and John Deere have precisely tuned the torque characteristic of the engine to meet the specific needs of the cold milling process. The engine already delivers sufficient torque at engine speeds as low as 1,200 rpm, achieves maximum torque at 1,500 rpm and offers a very wide working speed range of 1,200 to 2,100 rpm. As a result, the machines use significantly less fuel, even when delivering the highest productivity and milling at the maximum depth of 13 in.

Mill Assist, WPT

Also onboard are the digital assistance systems Mill Assist, Wirtgen Performance Tracker (WPT) and the Level Pro Active leveling system, which have already delivered customer benefit in the F-series large milling machines. Now, customers can look forward to the benefits of high milling performance, maximum efficiency and clear documentation in the compact milling machine class.

Mill Assist for Increased Milling Efficiency

In automatic mode, Mill Assist selects the operating strategy with the most favorable balance between milling performance and operating costs. This increases milling performance while simultaneously reducing not only diesel fuel, water and pick consumption, but also CO₂ emissions.

Mill Assist automatically controls the engine speed and simultaneously provides a wide range of usable milling drum speeds for an enormous spectrum of applications. The low-speed range enables significant reductions in fuel consumption and minimizes pick wear. The upper speed range enables the achievement of an optimal milling pattern, even in the case of higher area performance rates.

The operator can additionally select one of three operating strategies for each milling job: “ECO”, “performance-optimized” or “milling pattern quality”. This makes it possible, for example, to pre-define the required milling pattern quality incrementally from coarse to very fine at the press of a button.

Wide Range of Applications, Maximum Flexibility

Compact dimensions and optimized machine weight for easy transportation predestine these machines for a multitude of different construction site scenarios. Whether on highways, main roads, parking lots or inner-city streets — these high-performance machines are ideal for a broad spectrum of applications.

Due to their outstanding productivity, they are ideal for surface layer rehabilitation and complete pavement removal on construction sites of all sizes. Due to the ability to quickly change the FCS milling drums with different pick spacings and working widths, the compact milling machines from Wirtgen also can be rapidly reconfigured on-site to adapt to changing applications.

Precise Leveling With LEVEL PRO ACTIVE

Already proven in the F-series large milling machines, the LEVELPROACTIVE leveling system has now been made available for the compact class milling machines. Developed by Wirtgen especially for cold milling machines, the leveling system features informative operating panels and is intuitive and easy to use.

All connected sensors and measured values are clearly displayed on the operating panel to make the work processes as efficient as possible. The system is fully integrated in the control system of the cold milling machine and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, provides a high level of automation.

The system also offers many automatic and additional functions that make the operator’s job easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers.

Cockpit Also Available With Enclosed Cabin

The newly developed operator’s cabin is characterized by ergonomically designed control elements with high-quality haptics and maximum ease of operation. In addition to the slender wasp waist of the machine, up to five on-board cameras provide an ideal view of all important working areas.

The new 5-in. control screen in the multifunctional armrest displays all machine-relevant information. The access ladder to the cabin at the rear of the machine is fitted with an automatic height adjustment system. This assures that the machine operator can easily and safely access the platform in all working situations.

At bauma 2022, Wirtgen is showing another innovation in the compact milling machine class — a completely enclosed comfort cabin. It protects the operator against typical problems such as noise and dust on the construction site and provides ideal working conditions in all kinds of weather.

Vögele Introduces Four of ItsNewestMini-RoadPavers

Vögele will be presenting four new miniroad pavers at bauma 2022 that are able to pave widths ranging from .8 to 5.9 ft. Both the wheeled paver and the tracked paver will be available with optional diesel or batteryelectric drive systems. The new machines round off the lower end of Vögele’s wide range of asphalt paving products.

“The demand for flexible and sustainable solutions at small construction sites is high and our view is that it will continue to increase. Our new mini pavers will enable customers to complete small paving jobs quickly, cost-effectively, sustainably and therefore profitably,” said Marcio Cavalcanti Happle, head of sales, local marketing and product/customer support at Vögele.

Wide Range of Applications

Their compact dimensions and variable paving widths make the MINI 500 (diesel) and MINI 500e (battery-electric) tracked pavers as well as the MINI 502 (diesel) and MINI 502e (battery-electric) wheeled pavers ideally suitable for use in small-

E-Power: Local Emission-Free Asphalt Paving With MINI 500e, MINI 502e

Tenders are increasingly defining stricter emission requirements for construction projects. The battery-electrical drive systems used in the MINI 500e and the MINI 502e make them ideal for local emission-free asphalt paving.

The Vögele electric mini pavers, marked with the suffix “e”, both provide a sustainable production system when used in conjunction with the likewise battery-electrical tandem rollers from the Hamm compact line.

Sales Launch in Europe

The European market launch of the diesel-powered models is planned for the first half of 2023 and the launch of the EPower machines will follow afterwards. European distribution will be handled by the Wirtgen Group’s sales and service networks.

Cooperation With C. M. S.r.l.

The new Vögele MINI series has been developed and will be manufactured for Vögele by C. M. S.r.l., an Italian company with more than 40 years’ manufacturing experience with roadbuilding equipment.

that include constructing cycle and pedestrian paths, paving between railroad tracks as well as repair work in small inner-city sites, which are often characterized by their narrow working spaces.

The standard screed working width is 2.6 ft. and it can be enlarged up to 4.4 ft. hydraulically. The minimum paving width can be reduced down to .8 ft., or the width can be built up to a maximum of 5.9 ft. using bolt-on extensions.

Compact transport dimensions of 105 by 62.4 in. and low weights of between 2,205 and 3,307 lb. (depending on the model) allow for easy transport. A narrow turning radius makes the four wheeled or tracked pavers extremely agile.

“We are very much looking forward to cooperating with the leadingroadpavermanufacturer. Working with Vögele will also be a vote of confidence in our know-how,” said Gaetano Castiglione, CEO of C. M. S.r.l.

Mini Road Pavers Will Expand Wirtgen GroupÊs Range of Machines

“The new mini-pavers will expand Vögele’s product range and the battery-electric models will enable theWirtgen Group to support the sustainability goals of its customers as well as its ambitions to expand the availability of electrified product models by 2026. Cooperating with C. M. S.r.l is a huge leap along the sustainability path,” said Domenic Ruccolo, CSO of the Wirtgen Group and senior vice president, sales, marketing and product support, global construction equipment, John Deere.

CRH Americas Materials, Top Asphalt

Producer, Joins NAPAClimate Initiative

CRHAmericasMaterials,oneofNorth America’s largest asphalt paving companiesandasphaltproducers,hasjoinedThe RoadForward,anindustry-wideinitiative of the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) to achieve net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements. The move is the latest in many steps CRH has taken to proactively address the challenges and opportunities of climate change.

Sustainability is deeply embedded in all aspects of CRH’s business. CRH is committed to building a more resilient, circular and sustainable world, which includes product innovation in warm-mix asphalt and recycled asphalt pavements, both of which are key components to achievingtheindustrygoalsestablishedin The Road Forward. Moreover, CRH’s Innovation Centre for Sustainable Construction (ICSC) partners with industry and academia to develop new and innovative technologies to advance envi-

ronmental goals and solutions, with more than 60 research projects under way.

“CRH’s leadership in the areas of sustainability and environmental responsibility, both at the company level and at the Association level, have been tremendous,” said NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland. “Through innovation, leadership, and profound commitment, CRHsetsanexampleforasphaltmixproducers and pavers throughout our industry.”

A NAPA member since 1986, CRH’s active leadership in the association has madeasignificantcontributiontoadvancing the industry. Executive Vice President John Keating served as NAPA chairman of the board in 2013, a role that CRH Americas Materials New England Group President Christian Zimmermann will embrace in 2023.

“In addition to delivering a more sustainable built environment, our decarbonization efforts often have the added

benefit of reducing the cost of asphalt pavement materials, improving their performance, or both,” said Ron Sines, CRH’s vice president, Sustainability & Decarbonization.

Sines chaired NAPA’s Climate Stewardship Task Force, which developed The Road Forward based on extensive research and input from producers, suppliers and academia.

“By formally joining The Road Forward initiative, CRH will help further advanceemissionsreductiontechnologies and practices, generating value for pavement owners, industry and other stakeholders.”

“CRH’s commitment to and support of The Road Forward further propels our collective vision for the future: sustainable communities and commerce, connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements,” said Copeland.

John Deere Unveils G-Tier Compact Wheel Loader Models to Its Lineup

John Deere is building upon its lineup of compact equipment by expanding its performance tiering strategy with three new models of compact wheel loaders.

The new G-tier models, including the new 184 G-tier, and the 204 G-tier and 304 G-tier machines, were designed to include proven capabilities and are ideal for customers in need of a dependable machine to complete everyday tasks, according to the manufacturer.

The G-tier compact wheel loader models also are practically equipped, providing proven capabilities with the reliability and ruggedness customers expect from John Deere machines.

“As we learned from launching our performance tiering strategy on our utility loader line-up last year, customer’s needs are unique and they require personalized solutions to meet their diverse set of tasks,” said Luke Gribble, solutions marketing manager, John Deere Construction and Forestry Division.

“That’s why we chose to expand our performance tiering strategy with the introduction of the G-tier compact wheel loader models. These machines are not only rugged, but they boast simple and intuitive machine controls that are a great fit for operators of all experience levels, while also offering options that promote operator comfort and productivity.”

The 184, 204 and 304 G-tier compact wheel loaders provide solutions for customers in applications such as landscaping, agriculture, snow removal, site development and rental without sacrificing the world-class John Deere quality, the manufacturer said.

The G-tier models offer optimal performance with lower maintenance costs.With convenience and productivity top of mind, these easy-to-operate models come standard with limited slip differential, which automatically engages if one wheel loses traction, providing enhanced safety for the operator and the machine. The optional ride-control reduces spillage from the bucket when traveling over rough terrain, reducing job site clean-up, and improving ride quality for the operator and also can be set to engage and disengage at certain speeds.

Featured on all G-tier models, the forward-thinking cab design is offered in both a canopy or enclosed cab configuration, giving operators flexibility when working in a variety of different geographies. Built with operator visibility in mind, the redesigned enclosed cab features a frameless, fully glass door, floor-to-ceiling front windshield and remounted machine display, providing a clear line of sight to machine surroundings. The right-side full glass window also swings out 180 degrees to further enhance overall visibility for the operator.

Additional features include an adjustable steering column, slip-resistant steps and an optional LED lighting package. The spacious cab includes amenities such as improved air conditioning systems and ergonomic low-effort controls (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders) to keep operators comfortable during a long shift.

All G-tier models offer enhanced serviceability features such as ground-level service and increased capacity fuel tanks to help simplify daily maintenance, keeping machines up and running on the job. This allows operators to spend more time completing the tasks at hand, rather than performing on-site repairs or maintenance. The strategically placed

cooling package minimizes contamination from debris build-up, optimizing efficiency and reducing cleanout time (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders).

The smaller G-tier models, including the 184 G-tier and 204 G-tier, were designed to provide customers with a rugged, compact design helping the operator maneuver within the tightest areas while maintaining complete control of the machine. With a canopy height of 8 in. and 5 ft. 10 in. in width, these machines are nimble enough to fit through smaller barn door openings or other smaller areas, making them an ideal solution for job sites of all sizes.

The new 0.9- cu. yd. bucket is optimally sized that pairs with the 184 G-tier and 204 G-tier and can be attached to either a Quik-Tatch or hook-style coupler.

The largest of the three new models, the 304 G-tier, deliv-

ers productivity enhancements while also retaining many of its previous features that result in higher productivity (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders), especially in applications such as site development, roadbuilding, and snow removal.

In response to customer feedback, the travel speed of the 304 G-tier has increased to 18.6 mph from 12 mph, seen on the 304L model. This enhancement allows the machine to accomplish tasks and move around job sites in less time. The design of the 304 G-tier offers improved operator visibility (when compared to John Deere L Series compact wheel loaders) and overall machine stability with the increased machine size, which is now measured at 8 ft. 8 in. tall with cab and 6 ft. 5 in. wide. This compact wheel loader model also comes equipped with an optional attachment assist package, including proportional mini-joystick 3rd function control with detent, combined creep control & throttle lock, and integrated electrical attachment controls (3- Pin).

The John Deere 184, 204, and 304 G-tier compact wheel loaders are now available for purchase in the United States and Canada.

Kobelco Increases Performance With Next-Gen SK45SRX-7

Kobelco Construction Machinery USA recently introduced the new SK45SRX-7 mini-excavator model for North America.

The next-generation SK45SRX-7 delivers increased performance and productivity from the previous model and follows the Kobelco Performance X Design concept for enhanced design and operator comfort. This reinforces the Kobelco continued commitment to design the smaller machines with the same quality, feel and comfort as the larger excavator models, the manufacturer said.

The new SK45SRX-7 weighs in at 10,030 lbs. with canopy and 10,300 lbs. with cab and has a 37 hpYanmar Tier IV final diesel engine.

Max digging height with the standard arm is 18 ft. 10 in., max reach at ground level is 18 ft. 8 in., max dig depth is 11 ft. 3 in. and working width is 6 ft. 5 in.

Performance is key to mini-excavator operators, particularly when project deadlines are tight. The all-new SK45SRX-7 benefits from improved hydraulic performance when compared to the previous 6E series. The new hydraulic system shortens the digging

cycle time by up to 7 percent, and this high performance can be maintained without reducing speed, even with a heavy load or when travelling up a slope. In addition, redesigned travel motors increase the travel speed by up to 5 percent.

Other benefits of the new hydraulic system include smoother operation and improved levelling performance.

The integrated flow pump system enables operators to harness extra output from the third pump, which otherwise powers the swing and dozer circuit. This additional output is directed to the arm and boom for added power when digging, resulting in a fast and smooth raising operation, even with heavy loads.

Like all Kobelco short radius (SR) machines, the SK45SRX-7 features a compact tail swing for operation in restricted spaces, such as on urban or residential job sites, allowing for a smaller working footprint. The standard arm is 5 ft. 1 in. and comes with a thumb bracket pre-installed.

A two-way dozer blade with float comes standard and the unique blade

Takeuchi Unveils TB335R Short Tail Swing Excavator

Takeuchi has added the new generation TB335R short tail swing compact excavator to its TB300 Series.

This excavator features a sophisticated interior and exterior design as well as enhanced functions that provide greater performance and peace of mind, according to the manufacturer.

“The TB335R’s short tail swing design results in a rear overhang of only 3.1 in. over the tracks, making it ideal for working in tight or confined spaces,” said David Caldwell, national product manager of Takeuchi. “It also provides outstanding stability rarely found in a short tail swing machine, along with smooth, intuitive controls that help operators tackle tough jobs with ease.”

The cab model TB335R has an operating weight of 8,310 lbs. (3,770 kgs.), a maximum bucket breakout force of 9,127 lbs. (40.6 kN) and a maximum arm digging force of 4,290 lbs. (19.1 kN). The excavator is powered by an EPA Tier IV/ EU Stage V emission-compliant engine delivering 24.4 hp (18.2 kW) and a maximum torque of 70.6 ft-lbs. (95.8 Nm).

The TB335R offers two working modes — standard and ECO — allowing operators to match the mode to the task at hand, choosing more power or fuel savings as desired.

Offering a wide range of advanced features, the TB335R’s spacious cab includes a 7.0-in.

touchscreen, multi-function color display. Canopy models offer a 4.3-in., high-definition, multi-function display. Cab models also feature air conditioner, heat/defrost, windshield wiper and washer, skylight with sunshade and AM/FM radio with Bluetooth technology. Both cab and canopy models have low-effort, pilotoperated joystick controls, a deluxe high-back suspension seat with head rest and retractable seat belt to keep operators comfortable and productive.

The Takeuchi Fleet Management (TFM) telematics system is standard on the TB335R during the warranty period. With TFM, owners and operators can remotely connect to their Takeuchi track loaders and excavators. TFM delivers alerts and machine information such as location, utilization, performance and maintenance status, as well as insights into how and where equipment is being operated.

“Takeuchi is committed to providing the North American market with equipment that offers unmatched reliability and operator comfort as well as the latest technology,” Caldwell said. “The TB335R is a machine that exemplifies that commitment by delivering unmatched performance, excellent serviceability and great value.”

design ensures the earth always falls forward and not behind the blade when dozing, meaning that only one pass is usually needed and this saves time on the job site.

Inside the cabin, the dozer can be controlled by the ergonomically designed lever, which is easier to grip, and the first and second speed switches have been repositioned to improve maneuverability. A four-way (power angle) dozer blade with float also is available as an option.

Durability and reliability of the SK4SRX-7 is assured through reinforced construction. The boom, arm and swing bracket all have large cross-section segments for added attachment strength, and the bolttightened pins firmly lock the boom to prevent the boom top from opening laterally. The bucket features a cast-iron idler link and the box construction dozer supports provide greater strength.

The mini-excavator line now comes with a standard three-year or 3,000-hour warranty.

A newly designed cabin provides improved ergonomics to enable the operator to move the control levers horizontally without twisting their wrist, and the enlarged wrist rests keep the operator’s forearms in position, reducing fatigue and allowing for a stable operation.

Despite its compact size, the SK45SRX-7 also follows the same “Performance meets Design” concept as previously released on the SK75SR-7, SK85CS-7, SK140SR-7 and ED160BR-7 models. The -7 series maximizes performance, operator comfort and provides more standard features than

ever before, according to the manufacturer.

Anewly designed cabin provides improved ergonomics to enable the operator to move the control levers horizontally without twisting their wrist, and the enlarged wrist rests keep the operator’s forearms in position, reducing fatigue and allowing for a stable operation.

The automatic climate control (on cab models), smartphone holder (Bluetooth handsfree-enabled), USB/AUX port, DAB+ Radio, cup holder and coat hook provide extra comfort during long hours of operation.

A new color display is now standard and provides easy access to operating history, maintenance cycle and fuel and water temperature gauges. It also can be used to adjust the hydraulic oil flow to the attachments. When in energy conservation mode, the SK45SRX-7 adapts S-mode to enable 26 percent less fuel consumption when compared with Hmode, and an auto-deceleration switch is installed as standard.

The window on the right side of the cab can be opened and closed both forwards and backwards to facilitate ventilation and make it easier to hear ground workers when required.

In terms of operator safety, the high-strength cab/canopy meets ROPS, TOPS and OPG Level 1 (top guard) standards, and new LED work lights are mounted on the boom, top front, and left side of the cab from the factory. Mesh type front and top cab guards are available as options. The wiper mount also has been moved to the upper right of the cab support and the skylight opening has been enlarged to improve operator visibility of the job site.

When it comes to cabin noise, Kobelco’s integrated noise and dust reduction cooling system (iNDr), usually seen in its heavier machines, promotes low noise as well as exceptional engine cooling, enhanced reliability, minimal machine downtime and a more comfortable working environment. The iNDr filter has a high-density mesh of 30 lines per inch to collect dust and prevent it from clogging the radiators.

The SK45SRX-7 also offers easy access to the engine compartment, promoting easy daily maintenance that reduces time for inspection and cleaning.

Leica Geosystems Launches Leica iCON Site Excavator

Leica Geosystems, part of Hexagon, announced the launch of the new Leica iCON site excavator, a machine-control solution that enables compact excavators to carry out designs easily and accurately.

When space is limited, compact excavators are required to get the job done right the first time. To increase the efficiency and accuracy of trenching, grading or moving material on a smaller scale, Leica Geosystems further expands its portfolio by offering machine guidance for small excavators.

The iCON site excavator solution introduces three new components: a new software application, a new dual GNSS receiver and an optional communication device. The iCON site excavator application is available as stand-alone software or as an add-on within the existing and well-established iCON site platform.

When used as an add-on, it enables a new workflow for on- and off-machine tasks, empowering construction workers to execute a variety of jobs, leveraging the same tools.

For instance, operators can use the controller unit with a SmartAntenna to stake out or create a design, then immediately mount it in the cab to start grading according to the design.As soon as the excavation or grading to the correct design has been completed, the

operator can use the same system to perform as-built checks. This new solution is not only optimizing earthmoving tasks for compact excavators, but due to the iCON site platform’s unique versatility, operators can use it for both on- and off-machine applications, resulting in efficient equipment and personnel deployment, according to the manufacturer.

The iCON site excavator application will be available for a range of iCON field controllers in various sizes. The new GNSS receiver and communication device are designed specifically for compact machines, allowing more flexibility to adjust to different sites and project requirements.

“The Leica iCON site excavator is a very flexible and easy-to-use machine control solution, which opens the door to digital construction for small- and medium-sized heavy construction companies,” said Magnus Thibblin, president, machine control at Leica Geosystems.

“Now, compact excavators can contribute to small or large projects with efficiency powered by Leica Geosystems’ machine control functionality. This sets contractors ona path toward autonomy, enabling them to do earthmoving and detailed grading tasks more efficiently and sustainably.”

HitachiZX50U-5NMini-ExcavatorOffersFull-SizeFeatures

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas Inc. (HCMA) announced the arrival of the ZX50U-5N excavator, a compact machine with full-size features.

With its reduced tail-swing design, the compact, yet powerful, 10,560-lb. (4,790-kg) ZX50U-5N is perfect for working in congested areas. An independent swing boom and 360-degree rotation let you set up and work almost anywhere. Plus, virtually unlimited visibility and precise control make it a great tool for excavating around existing utilities.

This excavator is a smart choice for trenching, excavating, loading trucks and other tasks in wide-open spaces, according to the manufacturer.

The ZX50U-5N offers plenty of height and reach to get up and over truck sideboards with a maximum reach of 19 ft. 7 in. (5.96 m). It also provides a maximum dig depth of 11 ft. 7 in. (3.53 m). A backfill blade allows the excavator to fill or grade while an optional all-hydraulic blade angles 25 degrees left or right, for even more efficient grading and backfilling.

Compact excavators are commonly used as tool carriers with a wide range of attachments increasing job site versatility. A standard quick-coupler-equipped, boommounted auxiliary line makes attachment hookup on the ZX50U-5N a snap. An auxiliary function lever (AFL) is available with an analog switch, trigger switch and horn for running attachments such as a breaker or an attachment with swing.

The ZX50U-5N allows the engine speed to be matched to the job with power/economy work modes, which are usually only available on larger excavator models.

The ZX50U-5N allows the engine speed to be matched to the job with power/economy work modes, which are usually only available on larger excavator models. The power mode provides higher engine speeds for most general digging work, while the economy mode reduces engine speed for lighter digging jobs. This results in lower noise and decreased fuel consumption.

The excavator also uses the Hitachi Triple H (HHH)

hydraulic system, which enables combined operations by adjusting the optimal flow rate for all actuators. This gives the operator the freedom to provide simultaneous control inputs with no impact on machine performance.

A Tier IV Final compliant, direct-injected Yanmar engine produces 36.3 net hp (27.1 kW) while remaining fuel efficient and impressively quiet. The engine provides a high torque level for more pull-through power.

The ZX50U-5N offers plenty of height and reach to get up and over truck sideboards with a maximum reach of 19 ft. 7 in. (5.96 m). It also provides a maximum dig depth of 11 ft. 7 in. (3.53 m).

Designed for Comfort

Just because the ZX50U-5N can squeeze into a tight space doesn’t mean the operator should. A spacious operator station has a wide entryway. Swing boom and foldable travel pedals are positioned where they are easy to operate yet allow plenty of foot room.

Ergonomic short-throw hydraulic pilot control levers provide smooth, predictable low-effort fingertip operation to reduce operator fatigue. To suit operator preference and increase productivity, control patterns can be quickly switched from backhoe- to excavator-style controls with a control-pattern selector located in a compartment beneath the seat.

An enhanced 3.5-in. LCD monitor keeps the operator informed of vital information while allowing fingertip control of several functions, including auto-shutdown and power/economy modes.

Comfort inside the spacious cab has been maximized with an automatic, high velocity, bi-level climate-control system with automotive-style adjustable louvers to help keep the glass clear.

Durability Built In

The ZX50U-5N is built to the same durability standards as larger Hitachi excavators. Oil-impregnated HN bushings are used on the boom, arm and bucket joints for increased durability. Heavy-duty X-frames provide a rock-solid base that resists material and dirt buildup. A single-pin swing post increases the structural integrity of the digging components.

The rubber tracks on the ZX50U-5N feature a unique steel core that resists cracking. Large-diameter drive sprockets and track idlers further increase undercarriage durability.

A V-shaped cylinder guard provides added protection to the boom cylinder. To prevent damage to the upper structure, a D-section frame skirt improves upward impact resistance by 20 percent over previous models, according to the manufacturer.

Maintenance Made Easy

Compact machines can be more challenging to maintain, but not with the ZX50U-5N. A hinged door provides wide-open access to the side-by-side oil cooler and radiator core for easier cleanout. Routine checks, such as engine oil level, are quickly accomplished from ground level. A hydraulic fluid sight gauge and see-through coolant reservoir allow the operator to check at a glance.

Adjusting proper track tension only requires a grease gun and a wrench. A large fuel tank, 500- and 2,000-hour engine and hydraulic oil service, and 500-hour greasing intervals enable these excavators to work long hours between scheduled service intervals.

The operator station tilts forward 50 degrees, simplifying access to the swing motor, hydraulic control valve, engine starter motor and alternator.

To reduce the cost of repair, the traditional curved glass used in the cab has been exchanged with more easily obtainable flat glass.

Doosan BringsAll-New Lineup of Mini-Excavators to N.A.

DX27Z-7, DX35Z-7 and DX50Z-7,

DX55R-7.

Doosan Infracore North America recently introduced its all-new line of next-generation -7 Series mini-excavators in the United States and Canada. The initial launch includes four models, with more mini-excavators to be announced in the coming months.

These completely new mini-excavators are designed and manufactured by Doosan. They are equipped with a family of products, including Doosan engines and diagnostics. The first four excavator models include the zero tail swing DX27Z-7, DX35Z-7 and DX50Z-7, as well as the reduced tail swing DX55R-7. The new DX27Z-7 expands the Doosan mini-excavator lineup with a model that appeals to customers who need a smaller machine.

“This is a significant milestone for Doosan as we bring an all-new lineup of mini-excavators to North America,” said Aaron Kleingartner, product and dealer marketing manager.

“A few years ago, we expanded our mini-excavator offering and the response from our dealers and customers was very positive. Now we can provide a Doosan-designed family of mini-excavators from 2.7 metric tons up to approximately 9.0 metric tons to match our customers’ needs.”

Performance Features

The Doosan -7 Series mini-excavators come with a newly designed platform to improve structural durability and machine robustness. The redesigned models increase productivity by moving material quickly, and they boost efficiency by being able to perform multiple tasks at once.

Customers can get more productivity from the -7 Series mini excavators due to an increase in counterweight. Integrated into the excavator design, the additional counterweight enhances the excavator’s structural durability while enabling offset digging without the need to reposition the machine.

Lift-over-side capacity also is enhanced because of the machines’ integrated counterweight design. Doosan -7 Series mini-excavators deliver enhanced lifting capacity for moving and placing pipes as well as lifting boulders and hardscape materials.

A long arm design is available as an option for select new models. The longer arm provides operators with greater reach, dump height and dig depth, and operators don’t need to reposition the machine as often, which improves produc-

tivity. Some customers prefer to upgrade to a long arm design and avoid purchasing a larger machine for greater dig depth within the same size of excavator.

Versatility

Mini-excavators are versatile machines and the new -7 Series models from Doosan maintain that standard. Each new model is available with attachments, including buckets, quick coupler and thumb. The quick coupler significantly reduces the time it takes to switch attachments, which can impact operator productivity and ensure the correct bucket is paired with the digging requirements. Excavator owners can further expand the machines’ versatility by operating approved attachments, such as augers, hydraulic breakers, plate compactors, rippers and grapples.

“All of our -7 Series mini-excavators have a quick-coupler-ready design with auxiliary hydraulics installed to the base of the excavator arm,” Kleingartner said. “Customers won’t need additional accessories to install a quick coupler to the mini-excavator. We also offer adjustable auxiliary hydraulic flow which optimizes the response of hydraulic attachments, including thumbs, hydraulic breakers and augers.”

Flush-face couplers on the end of the hydraulic hoses allow for quick, easy connections when using hydraulicpowered attachments.

Customers can add an optional second set of hydraulics when they need to operate multifunctional attachments that require additional hydraulic flow. For example, secondary auxiliary hydraulics are ideal for using tiltrotator accessories with mini-excavators.

Comfort Features

Doosan -7 Series mini-excavators come standard with enclosed cabs with heat and air conditioning and multiple vents throughout the cab. This is designed to not only keep operators more comfortable, but it minimizes dirt and debris inside the machine for a cleaner work environment. Available for further operator comfort are a heated seat and fold-up foot pedals for additional floor space.

An open canopy is available as an option on -7 Series mini-excavators and comes with a rollover protective structure (ROPS).

Positioned between the DX50Z-7 and DX62R, the reduced tail swing DX55R-7 excavator is part of the popular 5-metric-ton size class.

as well as the reduced tail swing

The new DX27Z-7 expands the Doosan mini-excavator lineup with a model that appeals to customers who need a smaller machine.

StandardTelematicsSystemAvailableforFirstTimeOnMinis

For enhanced visibility from inside the cab, the -7 Series mini-excavators are designed with full glass, framed doors for a clear view of the area alongside the machine. This can be important for the operator when working in tight areas or going through narrow openings.

A new rearview camera is available as an option for increased visibility behind the excavator. Note, this option requires the machine to be configured with the 5.7-in. LCD monitor. Standard LED lamps illuminate the work area and ensure the operator can see the excavator workgroup, particularly the attachment, when working in low-light areas.

Joysticks in Doosan -7 Series mini-excavators are now similar to those installed in large Doosan crawlers and wheel excavators. This makes it easy for operators to move from a mini-excavator to a larger machine or vice versa and operate with confidence. On the right joystick, a thumb switch controls the excavator’s auxiliary hydraulic functions. A thumb switch on the left joystick controls the excavator’s boom swing.

Serviceability

A swing-open tailgate and side-access hood provide easy access to the excavator’s engine and pump package, valve bank, cooling system and hydraulic system. Everyday maintenance items like filters, fluids, air cleaner and battery are also easy to reach.Acentralized grease bank makes it simple for operators to properly add grease to the machine. Additional maintenance features include the following:

• Battery disconnect switch

• Color-coded and labeled wiring and hydraulic hoses

Doosan Telematics

Available for the first time on Doosan mini-excavators is a standard telematics system. The DoosanCONNECT Telematics system comes with every Doosan -7 Series miniexcavator model, making it easy for owners to remotely monitor and maintain their machine. This is the same system that is available for larger Doosan construction equipment, and owners can monitor their entire Doosan fleet through a smartphone app or web browser.

Compact equipment, including mini-excavators, is among

the most stolen pieces of construction equipment. Now, with telematics, mini-excavator owners can use the systems’antitheft feature to remotely keep track of the machine. The system can alert owners when a machine is moved outside of an area. Another benefit is the system can notify owners if a machine is being operated during an unauthorized time.

takes just under an hour. The owner’s manual provides detailed instructions on how to install the WingLine laser plow guide and ensure it is functioning as intended. It also comes with a two-year structural warranty.

KAGE, manufacturer of commercial snowplows and landscaping equipment, is known for its AdvantEdge flexible cutting-edge system; SnowFire snowplow box system; Snow Stake management system; Snow Dozer plow system; and LiquidRage anti-icing spray technology — all practical solutions to make time-consuming everyday tasks a thing of the past and accomplishing more in an efficient manner.

All manufacturing occurs in the company’s 26,000-sq.-ft. facility. KAGE was established in 2009 by president and inventor Mike Stephan and was built upon the experience of his father’s landscaping and horticultural services company. Today the company has more than 10 products as part of its offerings in snow equipment.

“From the very foundation of KAGE, we have witnessed the value of showing snowplow operators what the KAGE product can do,” said Kaydence Stephan, of KAGE sales and marketing support. “We strongly believe in getting the operators excited about this revolutionary design and the amount of time the KAGE plow system saves. Not to mention how much less fatigued they feel when they use the KAGE system. The operators have a hard enough job as it is, and our core motive is to make it easy for them.

“Our ‘Sea of Blue’ brand covers the snow belt of North America, and we are always striving to reach more potential customers, not only in the snow and ice industry but also in the commercial landscape industry.”

Despite the pandemic, KAGE customers did not experience any past-due deliveries directly caused by the company. KAGE remained fully staffed and continued to deliver products on time.

“Currently, we are working hard to find the right people, that want to set the stage and start a career here,” said

Stephan. “We put our best foot forward to find the right people and put them in the right place. We have experienced some slowdowns within production due to the number of staff we had this summer and fall, but our employees have a great attitude about working overtime and they have what is best for the company at the forefront of their minds. Fortunately, we are close to being fully staffed and have production turned all the way up getting plows out the door every day.”

Aside from creating and providing employment opportunities in the area, the company also is heavily invested in the local community. This year KAGE sponsored the local car and airshow, Wheels and Wings, and had the opportunity to

sponsor the Kinship of Polk County’s luau. Kinship is an organization helping children who need support and offering a relationship with a caring mentor. KAGE also has received local recognition, including the Polk County EDC Business of theYear in May 2018.The company continues to innovate and introduce revolutionary products in snow removal and landscaping.

“Next year, we will have the opportunity to go to SIMA, Equip Expo, APWA and others. We look forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting potential customers,” Stephan said. “Tradeshows are a great opportunity to hear customer feedback and collaborate with them on new ideas or improvements.”  CEG

and the reconstruction of roadways prone to flooding, will enhance safety and improve the region’s resiliency during storm events.”

The $48 million East Lincoln Avenue project started in summer 2020 and was completed two years later. This work replaced two bridges and a large culvert at East Lincoln Avenue, over the Hutchinson River Parkway and Hutchinson River in Pelham and Mount Vernon. A temporary bridge carried traffic during construction. The Hutchinson River Parkway stormwater system also was replaced and flood walls were installed, along with a bypass culvert to convey precipitation from storm events into Pelham Lake.

The two bridges, constructed in 1925, were replaced with a single, two-span bridge that features an additional 3 ft. of clearance to help reduce collisions with over-height vehicles, and included the replacement of the bridge’s approach slabs.

The bypass culvert installation that carries the northbound Hutchinson River Parkway off-ramp over the Hutchinson River was a critical element of the work.

“It will improve water flow and help reduce instances of flooding at this location,” said Heather M. Pillsworth, NYSDOT public information officer for the Hudson Valley Region. “Additionally, the Hutchinson River Parkway at East Lincoln Ave. was reconstructed to better withstand severe weather events. With new traffic signals and bridge rail, this wider, pedestrian-friendly bridge links residents and businesses along East Lincoln Ave. for daily commerce, work and

school. While construction was ongoing, a temporary bridge was in place adjacent to the new bridge structure to maintain the flow of traffic. [The project] enhances safety, mobility and resiliency along a heavily traveled corridor that links the village of Pelham and city of Mount Vernon.”

The Saw Mill River Parkway project is proceeding. This work has new bridges being constructed on Saw Mill River Parkway over the Saw Mill River being elevated to meet 100-year flood projections and a 1.3-mi. stretch of roadway being stabilized to divert water from the road and mitigate settling. Saw Mill was reopened to two lanes of traffic in both directions in October.

CrewsAvoid Significant Penalties, FinishAhead of Schedule

H&K from page 8

Work on the project began on March 8, 2022. Crews used 5,598 sq. ft. of soil nail and shotcrete to support the needed structure excavation. The footings for the new structure were supported by 12,605 linear ft. of micropiles. In total, 921 cu. yds. of concrete was used for the new structure, and 822 cu. yds. of flowable fill was used to backfill the new abutments.Alarge portion of this work had been completed well before the bridge was to be rolled into place.

To facilitate the installation of the new superstructure, I-476 between Lehigh Valley (Exit 56) and MahoningValley (Exit 74) had to be detoured for a maximum of 55 hours, with significant penalties for excess time. The work was required to be completed between the timeframe of 9 p.m., Friday (10/14/22) through 4 a.m., Monday

(10/17/22).

During this period, the existing bridge superstructure was demolished using excavatorstoremoveandcrushtheconcretedeck and pillars, and by torching the beams to enable easier removal. By 9 a.m. on Saturday morning, the new 1,400,000-lb. superstructure had begun moving into place. The bridge was rolled 95 linear ft. into final position before being set down on the abutments. The abutments were backfilled, new median barrier was installed and roadway approaches were paved. Worked progressed around the clock with a dedicated group of H&K workers and subcontractors.

H&K completed the project a full six hours ahead of schedule. The southbound lanes of I-476 were open at 8:45 p.m., Sunday evening; by 9:45 p.m., the

NoviceOperatorsLearntoMaintainPropertyWithJCB270T

For more than a decade, Holly and Stephen Ingham maintained 4 mi. of trails on their North Carolina property with nothing but a pole saw and tractor.

The couple recently decided they wanted a more efficient means of preserving the area. They researched several options before purchasing a JCB 270T from Company Wrench.

Unmatched Safety

As inexperienced operators, the Inghams were looking for the safest compact track loader on the market. Two features set the 270T apart — its single boom design and side door entry.

According to JCB, the single boom adds 60 percent visibility compared to track loaders that have dual booms. The side door entry gives operators safe, easy access to the cab. Most track loaders require operators to enter or exit from the front of the cab by climbing over attachments or walking under unsupported booms.

Versatile Attachments

The Inghams consulted Company Wrench Sales Territory Manager Will Byrd when deciding on the proper attachments to pair with their 270T. They determined a CID built swing boom cutter, 78 in. JCB general-purpose bucket, 78 in. CID brush grapple bucket, CID Xtreme stump bucket and CID threepoint hitch adaptor were the best options for their property.

The Inghams chose the swing boom cutter because it tilts up to 90 degrees with 8 ft. horizontal reach and 16 ft. vertical reach. This attachment’s reach and tilt functions allows the Inghams to cut areas that were previously inaccessible.

After clearing overgrowth, the Inghams can use the general-purpose bucket, brush grapple bucket and stump bucket to clean up the area. The general-purpose bucket picks up piles of smaller branches and the brush grapple bucket moves larger logs. The X-treme stump bucket can reach more than four feet underground to easily

remove stumps and roots.

The three-point hitch adaptor allows the Inghams to use attachments normally reserved for their tractor on the 270T. This means the Inghams can use their hydraulic

log splitter on the 270T to cut firewood onsite. Then they can quickly swap from the three-point adaptor to the general-purpose bucket to transport large piles of firewood across their property.

Byrd personally delivered each piece of equipment and spent several hours showing the Inghams how to properly operate the 270T and its attachments. On their first day with the 270T, the Inghams cleared brush and overgrown limbs from a large portion of trails in less than two hours with the swing boom cutter and general-purpose bucket. This process previously took more than a day to complete.

Future Plans

Once the Inghams become more comfortable with the 270T and its attachments, they plan to sell their tractor. The 270T will be their goto machine for grading their driveway, mowing pastures and unloading supplies, in addition to servicing their trails.

“It takes a lot to maintain our property, and my husband and I are not getting any younger,” Holly said. “We decided to get the 270T now because we want to live here for the rest of our lives. This equipment is going to make it much easier for us as we get older.” 

Ritchie Shows Rise of Compact Earthmoving Equipment

With its November Market Trends Report, Ritchie Bros. takes a closer look at sales of earthmoving equipment in North America, including excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, skid steers and more.

One of the main trends the company is seeing is the continued rise in popularity of compact earthmoving equipment. A perfect example of this can be seen through U.S. excavator sales, where large unit volumes are down significantly in 2022, while mini excavator sales have increased.

“We have been selling construction equipment for than 60 years and compact equipment has never been more popular,” said Doug Olive, senior vice president, Ritchie Bros.

“Today, manufacturers make small and medium earthmoving equipment so much more powerful, and as a result we are seeing a lot more compact items on job sites around the world and at our auctions. However, there are still many jobs that require the full power of a Cat D11Tor John Deere 870G — so don’t worry, big equipment still has a big role to play.”

In the United States, while large excavator volumes are down, prices are up. Excavator prices also are on the rise in Canada, while volumes decline. Meanwhile, volumes and

prices for mini excavators in the United States and Canada have both increased in 2022.

Looking at wheel loaders and dozer sales, we see similar trends, especially in the United States. In the United States, both have seen price declines in Q3, while smaller assets like loader backhoes and skid steer loaders have increased in price. In Canada, with smaller overall volumes, pricing for dozers and wheel loaders are still seeing a slight uptick this year, while compact equipment like multi-terrain and skid steer loaders have experienced more substantial increases.

“Used small and medium earthmoving equipment volumes sold through dealers and other retail channels were down almost 40 percent vs the prior year, while prices continued to rise, increasing a further 2 percent in October,” added Doug Rusch, managing director of Rouse Sales. “Used earthmoving equipment trading through retail channels is now selling for 33 percent more than pre-pandemic levels.”

After the main feature on earthmoving equipment, Ritchie Bros. turns to individual industry indexes. While all indexes show

increased pricing over the same time last year, month over month changes continue to decline since peak pricing earlier this year.

In the United States, Ritchie Bros.’ mixadjusted price indexes for the three months ending Oct. 31, 2022, show truck tractor prices are up approximately 2 percent compared to the same time period last year, but down 13 percent compared to the three months ending Dec. 31, 2021. Meanwhile, large and medium earthmoving equipment prices are currently up 4 percent and 2 per-

cent respectively compared to the same time period last year, however that is down 1 percent and 6 percent compared the three months ending Dec. 31, 2021.

Vocational trucks are up 1 percent YOY (down 7 percent since Dec. 2021) and aerial up 2 percent (down 5 percent since Dec. 2021).

In Canada, Ritchie Bros.’ mixadjusted price indexes for the three months ending October 31, 2022, show truck tractor prices are up approximately 13 percent compared to the same time period last year, and flat compared to the three months ending Dec. 31, 2021.

Meanwhile, large and medium earthmoving equipment prices are currently up 9 percent and 6 percent respectively compared to the same time period last year, however that is down 7 percent and 2 percent compared the three months ending Dec. 31, 2021.

Vocational trucks are up 5 percent YOY (flat compared to December 2021) and aerial up 2 percent (down 2 percent since December 2021).

DOTAdds Seven More Projects ‘Every Day Counts’List

expanded the program to include multiple transportation modes.

In announcing the seven new projects in early December, the DOT said the program will focus more intently on traffic safety and emissions reduction. The expansion in types of projects reflects the national push for transportation infrastructure improvements as a result of the bi-partisan IIJA, according to the DOT.

The FHWA had in the past worked with state transportation agencies to zero-in on appropriate innovations. Collaborating with agencies such as the FTA and the FRA, the DOT was able to grow the program beyond just infrastructure.

“All the innovations in the past were chosen just with state transportation highway departments in mind,” said Stephanie Pollack, the acting administrator of the FHWA. “This set was chosen with a broader set of modes.”

Improvements to nighttime safety, a push for rural and tribal workforce development are among the latest innovations. So is an initiative to integrate greenhouse gas assessments into transportation planning.

Though its name is Every Day Counts, the program isn’t just about speeding up transportation innovation, according to Bloomberg News.

“It’s not just faster,” said Pollack in announcing this latest round of innovations. “The seven innovations were chosen to not just focus on faster project delivery, but the three big buckets — safety, sustainability and then equity and inclusion.”

The FHWA sits down with local governments and their transportation departments and stakeholders to choose each new set of projects. Previous rounds of the Every Day Counts program included technology to accelerate bridge construction and digital ticketing, according to Bloomberg.

Many of the projects are designed to help make the nation’s transit systems safer, greener and more equitable.

Since the nighttime crash fatality rate is three times that of the daytime, enhancing visibility along corridors, intersections and pedestrian crossings helps reduce fatalities. This initiative promotes traffic control devices and properly designed lighting to improve safety for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists and people who use public transportation and passenger rail services.

• Next-Generation Traffic Incident Management

More than six million crashes a year in the United States put responders and other vulnerable road users at risk. Next-Generation Traffic Incident Management programs promote emerging technologies such as emergency vehicle lighting and queue warning solutions. These and other tools can advance safety and operations to help keep crash responders safe and mitigate traffic impacts after a crash, according to the DOT.

• Integrating Greenhouse GasAssessment and Reduction Targets in Transportation Planning

This initiative provides resources to help agencies, regardless of transportation mode, quantify greenhouse gases and set goals to decrease motor vehicle, construction and life-cycle emissions through planning and project development.

The program’s shift to embrace other transportation modes comes as concerns about U.S. car dependence continue to grow.

EDC’s new project devoted to nighttime safety, for example, is designed to boost visibility for all users, including cyclists, pedestrians and transit riders.

“We’re really excited about making this tool that’s been proven in the highway context available in all the different modes of transportation,” Pollack said.

This year’s innovations being promoted by the FHWA and the FTA will improve project delivery across highway, rail and transit agencies at the state and local level.

“Americans get the best value out of innovations in transportation when they are broadly shared among communities so that good ideas spread across the country,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “With today’s announcement, these innovations will be more rapidly deployed to save lives, protect taxpayer dollars, reduce carbon emissions and ensure more families, workers and businesses benefit.”

Internal curing, one of the seven EDC innovations, mitigates shrinkage cracking and has the potential to substantially extend the service life of concrete bridge decks, benefitting travel by motor vehicle and public transit, as well as enhancing the performance of pavements and repairs.

Showcasing Innovation

This latest round of the DOT’s Every Day Counts innovative projects:

• Nighttime Visibility for Safety

•

Enhancing Performance with Internally Cured Concrete (EPIC)

Cracking in concrete is a limiting factor in achieving long-term concrete performance. Internal curing mitigates shrinkage cracking and has the potential to substantially extend the service life of concrete bridge decks, benefitting travel by motor vehicle and public transit, as well as enhancing the performance of pavements and repairs.

•EnvironmentalProductDeclarations(EPDs) for Sustainable Project Delivery

Construction materials such as concrete and asphalt have environmental impacts during their life cycle, whether the transportation facility supports passenger vehicles, transit vehicles, or railroad cars. EPDs, which document those impacts, help states support procurement decisions and quantify embodied carbon reductions using life cycle assessments for sustainable pavements.

• Rethinking Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in Design-Build

Many design-build contracts do not adequately provide opportunities for disadvantaged businesses. New practices are available to support the effective integration of program requirements to help small, disadvantaged businesses compete for design-build contracts for highway and transit projects.

• Strategic Workforce Development

The demand for highway workers is growing under the new investment of the IIJA, and emerging technologies require new skills. This innovation is being implemented by 32 states, with six of those states having institutionalized Strategic Workforce Development as the way to promote

The FHWA sits down with local governments and their transportation departments and stakeholders to choose each new set of projects.

Crews Continue Lower Westchester Bridge Bundle Project

Avenue, with the park to be reconstructed. For this project, two lanes of traffic in each direction will be maintained throughout construction.

On Nov. 21, NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez announced the completion of several bridge projects totaling $60.5 million, including the bridge carrying East Lincoln Avenue over the Hutchinson River Parkway and Hutchinson River.

The East Lincoln Avenue project was designed by McLaren Engineering Group.

“Maintaining open parkways during construction [was an issue that had to be dealt with],” said an NYSDOT team overseeing the project. “The lifespan of the new bridge and infrastructure is 75-plus years.”

The project required careful planning and coordination.

“Doing major construction, including the installation of 5,000 timber piles and the relocation of utility lines, while minimizing traffic disruptions was a challenge,” said the NYSDOT team, which noted that this was a tight work zone. “One of the goals of the project was to reduce instances of flooding and raise a portion of the Saw Mill River

Parkway above, which required the installation of 5,000 timber support piles. The project also required the relocations of some major utility lines. Crews worked throughout the winter, including weekends. Nighttime operations were limited due to the proximity to residential homes.”

The temporary bridge, which carried two vehicular lanes and a temporary sidewalk, was installed in four weeks and upon completion of the new bridge, removed in three weeks.

“The bridge was assembled on the ground on large rollers and then moved across the Hutchinson River Parkway by a large dozer and a crane until it rested on the other side on temporary footings and towers,” according to NYSDOT.

The bridge over the Hutchinson River Parkway was demolished in one full weekend with a full closure of the parkway.

“The masonry bridges consisted of concrete and stone,” said NYSDOT. “Doing major construction, including the relocation of utility lines, while minimizing traffic disruptions was a challenge during the demolition. A demo tarp was installed to collect slurry.”

The demolition process had crews using a Liebherr 1250 hydraulic crane for demoli-

tion, two John Deere 345 excavators with hammers, a Komatsu 228 excavator with a hammer, a Caterpillar 322 excavator and a Caterpillar 950 loader.

The single, two-span bridge was constructed between June 2021 andApril 2022.

“The new 248 linear foot-long bridge has one lane in each direction, with parking spaces and turning lanes at each end,” said NYSDOT. “The bridge is concrete on a metal deck, supported by nine girders running between two footings and a center pier. The challenges included installation of piles and excavation of footings in close proximity to the parkway and due to the high water table.”

Temporary timber shielding was utilized to prevent debris from falling. Equipmentwise, a Liebherr 1225 crane for girder installation was brought in, as well as Junttan PM 20 and 25 pile rigs.

The replacement of the Hutchinson River Parkway stormwater system and installation of the flood walls occurred throughout the project.

“Small areas were cordoned off and excavated under live traffic,” according to NYSDOT. “Flood walls and berms were installed off the parkway along the existing river that ran parallel to the parkway. Challenges

included deep excavation adjacent to live traffic.”

Komatsu 228 and Caterpillar 322 excavators were employed for this aspect of the work.

The bypass culvert was constructed between fall 2020 and spring 2021.

“The area was excavated using a slide rail support of excavation system,” according to NYSDOT. “Large precast sections were installed along the existing parkway. Deep excavationadjacenttolivetrafficwasachallenge.”

Forthisaspectoftheproject,aJohnDeere 470 excavator was key.

Asphalt millings from the project (40,000 tons) were all recycled, as well as the material excavated from the box culvert and drainage excavations (20,000 tons). The amountsofnewmaterialsusedforthebridge construction have not been finalized.

Local and regional subcontractors are engaged in the project.

Program Focuses On Speed, Safety, Sustainability, Equity

PROGRAM from page 92

career opportunities in transportation. A continued focus on taking this nationwide will help stakeholders across the country improve their ability to identify, train, and place highway construction workers.

Innovative approaches will be informed by the DOT’s Memorandum of Understanding with the DOL to foster a diverse and skilled workforce to support infrastructure projects.

The focus will expand to rural and tribal communities to increase career opportunities.

“Many of the innovations announced as part of this forward-thinking program will help make the nation’s transit systems safer, greener and more equitable,” said Nuria Fernandez, the FTAadministrator. “We look forward to promoting the findings from these initiatives, from reducing greenhouse gas emissions to leveling the playing field for small businesses to compete for designbuild contracts, throughout the transit industry.”

History of Success

Every two years since 2011 FHWA has worked with state transportation depart-

ments, local governments, tribes, private industry and other stakeholders to identify a new set of innovations to champion that merit accelerated deployment.

The first six rounds of EDC have yielded several innovative project delivery technologies, including prefabricated bridge systems, design-build contracting, project bundling, e-construction (paperless contracting) and safety initiatives.

The program’s success is based largely on states selecting innovations they want to pursue.

The model identifies and rapidly deploys underutilized innovations to shorten the project delivery process, enhance roadway safety, reduce traffic congestion and integrate automation.

Proven innovations promoted through EDC facilitate efficiency at the state and local levels, saving time, money and resources, said the National Operations Center for Excellence (NOCOE).

After selecting EDC innovations, transportation leaders from across the country gather at regional summits to discuss and identify opportunities. It is there that innovations that best fit the needs of their respective state transportation programs are implemented.

Following the summits, states finalize their selection of innovations, establish performance goals and begin implementation.

NOCOE said the EDC program has made a significant positive impact in accelerating the deployment of innovations and in building a culture of innovation within the transportation community.

“Since the inception of EDC, each state has used 19 or more of the 52 innovations promoted through Every Day Counts, and some states have adopted more than 40,” said the organization.

Many of these innovations have become mainstream practices across the country.

Accelerated Innovation Demonstration and State Transportation Innovation Council Incentive programs administered by FHWA provide additional funding and resources to help accelerate the adoption and standardization of innovative technologies.

Previous innovations includeAccelerated Bridge Construction, Road Diets, and Safe Transportation for Every Pedestrian (STEP).

The bridge construction program involved a suite of technologies that allow for accelerated construction of bridges, significantly reducing traffic delays and road

closures and often reducing project costs.

Since October 2010, transportation agencies have designed or constructed more than 2,500 replacement bridges using these technologies.

Road Diets are innovative roadway reconfigurations that can help improve safety on mixed-use streets by reducing vehicle speeds, calming traffic and freeing space for alternative modes of travel.

The plan typically converts an existing four-lane, undivided roadway segment to two through lanes and a center, two-way left-turn lane. Road diets can reduce collisions, increase mobility and access and improve a community’s quality of life.

The STEP program is the application of cost-effective countermeasures with known safety benefits to reduce pedestrian fatalities at crossing locations. With pedestrian fatalities a continued concern nationwide, this innovation is helping communities improve pedestrian safety and making crosswalks and pedestrians more visible to drivers.

“By advancing 21st-century solutions, the transportation community is making every day count, to ensure our roads and bridges are built better, faster and smarter and operated at peak efficiency,” said NOCOE.

ContractorsAttend Mud Mixing Class, Learn Drilling Tips

He said contractors often take advice from people who do not always specialize in mud mixing or even in this specific industry, and it ends up being a costly mistake when things are done incorrectly. The JESCO team along with Poche said that their goal is to help their clients decrease downtime and increase profit.

“Many contractors do not realize the positive effects of the products that we sell and that these can help do the job 20 to 30 percent faster,” said Poche. “It also reduces wear and tear on the drill pipe and the drill bits and who wouldn’t want that?”

McGrail said one of the biggest reasons that JESCO hosted this event was because the company recognizes labor shortages and lack of resources available for drill crews and they want to be that resource for the industry professionals and clients.

“We are showing them how to locate utilities and drill their bore holes more quickly, more efficiently and more safely,” he said.

Brett Romer, regional sales manager of Subsite Electronics, demonstrated the Marksman HDD Guidance System and HDD Beacons, showing the utility contrac-

tors in attendance how to “see” what really lies beneath the ground in the form of utility lines and other obstacles. Romer and JESCO used a Ditch Witch JT24 directional drill for both the demonstration and to provide attendees the opportunity to operate the drill themselves. JESCO also had the Ditch Witch JT10 and JT40 directional drill on display for the event.

As an added bonus for the event’s attendees, JESCO provided a breakfast spread and also a lunch catered by Mission BBQ.

Overall, McGrail touted the event as not only being important for utility contractors, but also for JESCO’s staff.

“We are doing a lot of cross-training from parts and service team members, so at events like this one, we are able to operate the

machine to understand the workings of a directional drill,” he said.

When asked if he and JESCO would like to hold the same event next year, McGrail said, “Of course! We love doing this here and it’s been a great success today.”  CEG

Non-Res Construction Spending Up Slightly, According to ABC

National nonresidential construction spending was up by 0.5 percent in September, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of data published Nov. 1 by the U.S. Census Bureau. On a seasonally adjusted annualized basis, nonresidential spending totaled $883.9 billion for the month.

Spending was down on a monthly basis in 11 of the 16 nonresidential subcategories. Private nonresidential spending was up 1.0 percent, while public nonresidential construction spending was down 0.3 percent in September.

“The disconnect between contractor confidence, which remains elevated according to ABC’s Construction Confidence Index, and nonresidential construction spending continues,” saidABC Chief EconomistAnirban Basu.

“While nonresidential construction spending is below February 2020 levels, many contractors report operating at capacity. This has much to do with worker and equipment shortages.

“ManyprojectsunderconstructioninAmericabeganprior to the rapid increase in borrowing costs that started earlier this year,” said Basu.

“With interest rates on the rise and the economy expected to slow, nonresidential spending will likely decline further, at least in segments vulnerable to economic downturns. Contractors that focus on public construction work stand to be in far better shape given recent federal legislation and excess pandemic relief funds waiting to be spent by many state and local governments.”

AEM HoF Inducts Bushnell

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) inducted Sherman Ward “Bud” Bushnell, founder of Genie, into its Hall of Fame for a broad range of contributions in developing and advancing technologies that support the construction and agriculture industries worldwide.

The AEM Hall of Fame recognizes the pioneers whose inventions, ideas, leadership and courage have contributed to the industry and our community’s quality of life. The award was presented to Genie President Simon Meester at AEM’s Annual Conference in Napa, Calif., on Nov. 18.

“Bud Bushnell is a tremendous addition to the AEM Hall of Fame,” said AEM President Megan Tanel. “His combination of innovation, professional dedication to safety, and personal dedication to the team he built at Genie, are exactly what the AEM Hall of Fame is meant to celebrate.”

Bushnell (June 13, 1921 to Nov. 14, 2020) founded Genie Industries, which today is the Genie brand of Terex Corporation, the pioneering manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms, which enable people to work safely and productively at height.An inventor and craftsman all his life, Bushnell launched the company in 1966 in a small warehouse in

downtown Seattle. His first lift operated on compressed air, and customers referredtothe hissing noise it made as “Genie magic in a bottle,” leading to the company name.

Through his inventions, Bushnell didn’t just make work at height more efficient, he helped make it safer. Helping people work safely at height is still the most important thing Genie and its equipment do today.

“I am proud and humbled to be able to accept this honor on behalf of Bud and the Bushnell Family,” said Meester. “Leading by example, putting the customer first and focusing on the team to make it happen made us the company we are over the last 55 years. We have a lot of exciting products coming our way in the next ten years, and Bud’s spirit is in all of them.”

More than 65 industry leaders have been inducted into the AEM Hall of Fame since its inception in 1993.

Nominations for the AEM Hall of Fame are open year-round. An independent panel of industry experts evaluates potential inductees, and honorees are publicly announced yearly and celebrated at AEM’s Annual Conference.
