MassDOT is overseeing a road widening and bridge reconstruction project in Weymouth and Abington, Mass., that will widen and repave 4 mi. of Route 18 and replace a bridge that runs over commuter rail tracks on the highway that is 15 mi. south of Boston. P. Gioioso & Sons of Hyde Park, Mass., and D&R General Contracting of Melrose, Mass., are the lead contractors on the job, with Gioioso performing the bulk of the work and D&R focusing on the road paving. Joseph Gioioso, a project manager, said the company is using the Komatsu 360LCi-11 excavator and the Komatsu D61PXi-23 bulldozer on the job, intelligent machines with GPS control devices that make the job quicker and easier for operators. Gerry Carney, manager of CN Wood of Woburn, Mass., the equipment dealer that sold Gioioso the units, said, “The
excavator digs down so it doesn’t go through the plane and pulls back the bucket so it cuts down on over digging. It gives the operator more information on where he is on the job, drastically increases efficiency and makes the job quicker.” The control function on the machines allow operators to move material without worrying about digging too deep or damaging the target surface, which improves productivity, precision and safety on the work site. The GPS function of the machine utilizes 3D design data loaded into the machine’s monitor to show machine position relative to target grade. When the bucket reaches the target surface, automation kicks in to limit over excavation. “The 360LCi-11 is flexible and versatile enough to be at home on almost any job site,” said Jason Anetsberger, senior product manager of Komatsu America. Gioioso said the company also is using a Link-Belt RTC8050 crane, a rough terrain crane with four steering modes. see MASSDOT page 14
