applied to his dream of owning and operating his own construction company. This dream came to fruition in 2003 with the purchase of a JCB tractor loader backhoe and the official of start of Kilmoyley Construction.

Kilmoyley is the name of the town in Ireland that he grew up in. In the early days, Sheehy built the company and his bulk of experience doing utility work and sidewalk construction. He later found an opportunity working projects for the University of Massachusetts in Lowell.

At UMass, the diversity of the work expanded, and Sheehy found the need to expand his equipment inventory to include JCB excavators and wheel loaders. The variety of projects that Kilmoyley Construction addresses at UMass seems never ending. Currently, the company is improving an entertainment area and expanding the facility’s stage, adding lighting effects and putting in new sidewalks to what will be an improved concert venue.

When the company is not involved in structural construction at the university, much of the work Kilmoyley does at UMass will include snow removal, aquascape repair, sewer and water maintenance system repair and general landscape and property improvements.

UMass is not Kilmoyley’s only customer. It has developed a strong reputation in utility installation and repair, and it has done a significant amount of work for area municipalities. During peak seasons, it runs a crew of 10 to 15 employees. Like most construction firms these days, one of Kilmoyley’s biggest challenges is finding the workers to keep the company fully staffed.

Kilmoyley takes great pride in the work that the company does, starting each project in a timely manner and finishing the project on time and on spec. In fact, most projects are completed ahead of time.

“There are several reasons we are able to complete our projects ahead of schedule, including a hard-working, experienced crew and our fleet of JCB construction equipment,” said Sheehy.

Kilmoyley Construction’s fleet of equipment includes two JCB 427ZX wheel loaders, one JCB Hydradig 110W wheeled excavator and two Avant 640 compact articulated wheel loaders, all purchased from Alta Equipment Company.

The purchase of the JCB Hydradig involved matching the purchase of a piece of equipment to some of the unique circumstances that Kilmoyley faces at UMass, as well as other utility repair projects.

“UMass has a massive, sprawling campus, and our projects will jump from one end of the university to another, sometimes in the same day,” Sheehy said. “The JCB Hydradig is a wheeled excavator that travels over the road at about 25 mph. We can drive it straight down the roads of the campus doing no damage whatsoever to the road surface and saving ourselves the time and bother of loading the machine up on a trailer and hauling it from point A to point B.

“We have equipped the Hydradig with several attachments that have dramatically improved the flexibility of the machine, including several different buckets for a variety of digging applications, a 12-inch auger and a flail mower for cutting back trees and bushes.

“The Hydradig also gives us tremendous maneuverability because of its crab steer and four-way steering. You can position it just about anywhere turning on a dime. The Hydradig is also engineered with a very low center of gravity, which gives it a larger lifting capacity and additional stability. It would be extremely difficult to tip this machine and the visibility is amazing.

“The Hydradig is also amazingly easy to maintain. Everything you need to access you
