Skanska-Led Team Wins Second Avenue Subway Phase II
Skanska, along with Traylor Bros. Inc., and Walsh Construction, have been selected by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to deliver design-build services for the $1.02 billion, Phase II of the Second Avenue Subway project in New York, N.Y.
The project will extend the Second Avenue Subway (Q line) to 125th Street and includes construction of new station structures for the future 106th Street Station. Phase II design services will be led by Mott MacDonald.
“We’re proud to have been selected for the second phase of the Second Avenue Subway, which will significantly improve mobility for New Yorkers by expanding Q line access into East Harlem and Harlem,” said Michael Viggiano, executive vice president of Skanska USA Civil. “Building on the successful completion of Phase I in 2017, we are honored to continue our involvement in this transformative program and to help deliver faster, more reliable transit options that better connect communities across the city.”
“We’re honored to be part of the team selected to advance Phase II of the Second Avenue Subway,” said Chris Hebert, vice president of Traylor Bros. Inc. “Projects like this demand deep underground expertise, strong coordination and a commitment to
working safely in one of the most complex urban construction environments in the country. Continuing our partnership with Skanska on the previously constructed 86th Street Cavern, we’re proud to help build infrastructure that will improve mobility and serve New Yorkers for generations.”
“Alongside our joint venture partners, Skanska and Traylor Bros., we’re focused on delivering Phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway Project through coordinated designbuild execution,” said Jeff Twidwell, senior vice president of Northeast Transportation of Walsh Construction. “We look forward to extending Q service in Manhattan through disciplined planning and close coordination with stakeholders, while adhering to the highest standards of safety and quality.”
The project scope includes designing and constructing new subway station structural shells between 105th Street and 110th Street to accommodate the future 106th Street Station. It also includes construction of the structural tie-ins to existing tunnels, support of excavation and earthwork, installing roadway decking to maintain existing traffic, building at- and below-grade structures for two station entrances and utility support and reconstruction.
This contract builds on Phase I of the
Second Avenue Subway project, which extended service from 63rd Street to 96th Street and has been in operation since 2017 and continues the northward expansion of the line to 125th Street. Skanska, in a joint venture with J.F. Shea Construction Inc. and Schiavone Construction Co. Inc., previously delivered that initial phase.
Phase II will extend the Q line into East Harlem and Harlem, improving connectivity and reducing commute times with new stations at 106th Street and 116th Street on Second Ave., as well as a terminal station at 125th Street and Lexington Ave. that will serve as a key transfer point to the 4/5/6 lines and Metro-North. Once complete, the Second Avenue Subway will create a continuous two-track corridor from 125th Street to Lower Manhattan, with connections to West Midtown and Brooklyn, expanding transit access for East Side residents, workers, and visitors while also easing longstanding congestion on the nearly 100-yearold Lexington Avenue Subway Line. Construction is expected to reach substantial completion in Q3 2030.

NYCDOT Expands Smart Sensors for Safer Streets
New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT)
Commissioner Mike Flynn announced the use of new cuttingedge sensors to better understand how New Yorkers use their streets and to inform safer street design.
First piloted in 2023, these small, privacy-protective street activity sensors will count pedestrians, cyclists, buses and vehicles and assess patterns in how people use the streets. Sensors will be installed at approximately 80 additional locations across the five boroughs to accelerate data-driven street safety improvements.
“Safer street design starts with understanding what is actually happening on the street,” said Flynn. “These high-tech sensors will help us evaluate how people are walking, biking and driving so we can design safer streets and encourage safer behavior.”
Building on the successful pilot, NYCDOT will scale up a technology that has already transformed how the agency measures traffic activity. Initially

installed at 20 locations, the sensors replaced traditional manual traffic counts with continuous, realtime data collection — providing a far more comprehensive picture of how pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles move through city streets.
Mounted on NYCDOT
street infrastructure, the sensors anonymously analyze street activity. In addition to counting different types of road users, sensors can measure speeds, capture turning movements and map how different users move. For example, the sensors could identify areas where pedestrians are crossing mid-block instead of at crosswalks. This could help identify locations
where a mid-block crosswalk would be beneficial.
Traditional planning methods have previously relied on shortterm, labor-intensive counts. The sensors operate continuously, capturing changes in travel patterns by time of day, season and street design. Designed with privacy as a core value, video footage is processed in real time
and immediately discarded, with only anonymous data retained, according to NYCDOT. Faces and license plates are deliberately obscured in any video footage. By analyzing detailed data on how streets are used, the agency expects to use the sensors to:
• Evaluate the effectiveness of street redesigns and safety projects;
• Identify high-risk locations before crashes occur using “near-
• Better allocate street space among pedestrians, cyclists and
• Improve access to transit, loading zones, and local businesses; and
• Build a dataset that measures how pedestrian and cycling volumes change across the city and over time.
The sensors will be installed in a diverse range of corridors — from busy commercial streets to residential neighborhoods, ensuring that sensor data reflects the full complexity of New York City’s transportation network.

Holms, Energreen Partner on U.S. Sweeper Offerings
Holms Attachments and Energreen America announce a cooperation to provide United States dealers and end users with sweepers for the Energreen ILF self-propelled hydrostatic machines.
The Energreen brand has its roots in Italy, where the manufacture of roadside maintenance machinery began in 1999. This is the first cooperation between the two companies.
The range of Energreen ILF selfpropelled hydrostatic machines has been designed primarily for the professional care of large outdoor spaces, such as cleaning roadsides and maintaining waterways.
The Energreen machines are equipped with telescopic arms with working distances between 21 and 50 ft. on which it is possible to use various attachments. The equipment can be fit with front and rear mounted attachments providing great flexibility with one machine.
The Holms angle sweepers follow surface slopes and irregularities in every position due to their springloaded self adjusting suspension
system. The brush is supported by long- travel springs that provide even and consistent ground pressure, eliminating the need for support wheels.
The sweepers to move freely horizontally to match ground level. The result is sweeping performance with minimal brush wear, longer service intervals and improved operational efficiency, according to the company.
“We are excited about the opportunity to work with an innovative manufacturer like Energreen,” said Dan Snedecor, general manager of Holms Inc. “Our product range will provide Energreen dealers and customers with a highquality sweeper solution.”

operation in Berlin, the project represented far more than simply selling equipment. According to Brooke Tyler IV, vice president of Tyler Equipment, the undertaking evolved from what began as “a few thoughts on a bar napkin” into the largest sale in company history and the creation of the largest port material handler ever built.
The machines now operating at ENSTRUCTURE’s New Haven terminal are the largest SENNEBOGEN 895 E Hybrid machines in the world and are part of the company’s long-term sustainability initiative to modernize operations while dramatically improving efficiency and reducing emissions.
ENSTRUCTURE operates 22 terminals throughout the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest, providing stevedoring, trucking, cargo handling and storage services. Its New Haven terminal encompasses approximately 84 acres with deepwater access, rail service, warehousing and bulk cargo capabilities.
“We’re a stevedoring company,” one ENSTRUCTURE official said during an interview at the terminal. “Stevedoring is the loading and unloading of ships. We handle break bulk, liquid bulk and trucking. Ships come in here to be loaded and unloaded, and we provide the service, the storage and the transportation.”
The project originated when ENSTRUCTURE sought to replace aging dock cranes dating back to
“The original cranes on the dock were tired,” the official said. “It was time to replace them, and we used the SENNEBOGEN 895 to replace them. We went all electric because it’s part of our sustainability
The transition also allowed the company to take advantage of Connecticut environmental grant programs that helped offset infrastructure and equipment costs.
The fully electric SENNEBOGEN machines
operate directly from shore power using 480-volt, three-phase electricity supplied from the local power grid through transformers and an elaborate motorized cable reel system. Unlike diesel-powered material handlers, the machines eliminate engine emissions, dramatically reduce noise and vibration and remove the need for engine oil changes and related maintenance.
SENNEBOGEN estimates operating costs can be reduced by as much as 50 percent through lower energy consumption and simplified maintenance.

Tyler Helps Deliver Record-Breaking Electric Handlers
no generators involved.
At the center of the operation is a massive hydraulically controlled rotating skip pan attachment manufactured by Bateman Manufacturing. The enormous pan — capable of holding 34 cu. yds. of material — allows operators to strategically place scrap metal inside ship holds with far greater precision than older cable-operated systems.
The process is highly specialized. Scrap material is first delivered to the dock by haul trucks, dumped into the skip pan and then loaded into ships by the SENNEBOGEN machine. The New Haven terminal operates as what officials describe as a “sterile dock,” meaning material cannot simply be dumped directly onto the dock surface.
According to ENSTRUCTURE, the hydraulic skip pan concept dramatically improved efficiency.
“One of the big gains that we went to with the new machine is that the old machine was a fully cable-driven pan,” the official said. “This machine is a hydraulically controlled rotating pan that you can place the product in much more strategically than just dumping and hoping.”
Cycle time studies conducted at the terminal revealed loading operations improved by approximately 40 percent compared to the previous crane setup. Under ideal conditions, complete loading cycles can occur in as little as 45 to 46 seconds.
The machines themselves are staggering in scale.
With operating weights reaching approximately 420 tons and maximum reach approaching 130 ft., the SENNEBOGEN 895 E Hybrid is considered the giant of the port material handling world. One official noted the lower track assembly alone weighs more than 100,000 lbs., while the machines required approximately 17 truckloads each
installation. The upper portion of the machine was assembled separately before being married to the lower structure in a massive lift operation.

Huge Electric Handlers Boost Port Efficiency, Sustainability
Tyler Equipment personnel also coordinated logistics, assembly support, training and ongoing technical assistance.
“There’s some trial and error, trial by fire,” one official said of supporting such specialized equipment. “SENNEBOGEN is a wonderful company to work with, and there’s a huge amount of support. During each build they have a factory technician with us to all work together.”
Tyler’s involvement extended well beyond sales support.
Standing high above the dock inside the spacious operator cab, Tyler discussed the machine’s sophisticated systems, including fly-by-wire controls, external hydraulic valve banks, electrical transfer systems and massive slip rings that allow the upper structure to rotate continuously while transferring high-voltage electrical power.
The machines use advanced electronically controlled hydraulic systems in place of traditional pilot-operated controls, representing the next generation of material handling technology.
“These are the next generation with multiple computers, fly-by-wire technology,” the ENSTRUCTURE official said. “We are
going through training to make sure we understand how that all works.”
Despite the complexity and size of the machines, operators said the controls are surprisingly intuitive.
“There are only two joysticks in this machine,” one official said. “It’s just simple. You fire it up and go to work.”
The cabs themselves are designed for long shifts in demanding waterfront conditions, featuring panoramic visibility, climate control systems and multiple camera views that allow operators to monitor activity around the machine and inside ship holds.
For Tyler Equipment, the project
represents the culmination of years building SENNEBOGEN’s presence in the Northeast while establishing itself as one of the leading experts in highly specialized material handling equipment.
Tyler acknowledged his preference for the engineering and operational side of the business.
“This is where I belong,” he said while discussing the technical aspects of the machine. “I’m way more nuts and bolts.”
That hands-on approach appears to have resonated strongly with the customer.
Asked about Tyler Equipment’s role throughout the process, the ENSTRUCTURE official answered simply: “Awesome.”
The success of the first machine ultimately led ENSTRUCTURE to order a second unit, creating what company officials believe is now the largest concentration of SENNEBOGEN 895 material handlers in North America.
For Tyler Equipment, ENSTRUCTURE and SENNEBOGEN, the project stands as a showcase not only of massive machinery, but also of how engineering innovation, environmental sustainability and strong dealer support can reshape heavy industrial operations along America’s waterfronts. CEG

New Bill Earmarks $580B for Projects Through Sept. 30, 2031
and increases support for bridge programs.
ARTBA noted that rail safety, electric vehicles and transit programs were features of the committee’s consideration.
“But most proposed amendments were not added to the bill,” according to the group.
Chairman Sam Graves, a republican from Missouri, and Ranking Member Rick Larson, a democrat from Washington, voted in lockstep on amendments.
How ‘Unrivaled Infrastructure’ Would Be Funded
It is officially the Building Unrivaled Infrastructure and Long-term Development for America’s 250th Act (BUILD America 250 Act).
The bill would authorize $580 billion in funding for highway, transit and safety programs through Sept. 30, 2031.
It would maintain core formula programs, create new revenue for the Highway Trust Fund and enhance project delivery and work zone safety.
ARTBA analyzed the bill and broke down funding among transportation sectors.
“The Build America 250 Act continues total highway investment at current levels, with slight growth adjustments as the duration of the bill goes forward.”
ARTBA said that the highway formula programs would increase by more than 3 percent in year one. More modest growth would be seen in out years.
“Formula funds would receive 90 percent of the proposed resources,” reported ARTBA. The 10 percent left would be go to discretionary and allocated programs.
The bill would eliminate $3.7 billion in annual funding for three climate-focused formulas programs. They are the Carbon Reduction Program, National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Program and the PROTECT Resiliency Program.
“The measure would increase bridge formula program funding from $5.5 billion to $9 billion annually,” said ARTBA.
However, it would make the current bridge discretionary grant program subject to annual appropriations.
Total funding of $45 billion in bridge investments over five years would represent a 12 percent increase over prior law.
The association’s analysis found the program would require at least 25 percent of funds go to local and off-system bridges.
“The proposal modifies or eliminates several discretionary grant programs and, in some cases, rolls that money into formula programs,” said ARTBA. “A new discretionary grant program called the Surface Transportation Accelerator Grants (STAG) Program would provide $2.4 billion annually.”
Approximately 50 percent of funding would be reserved for local and regional grants, 25 percent for rural grants and 25 percent for urban grants.
The Safe Streets and Roads for All Program would continue but would lower guaranteed investment levels by half. That figure is relative to the current authorization: $500 million for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027, rising to $1 billion for FY2031, said ARTBA.
“Numerous other discretionary grant programs … which support multimodal, regional and freight-related projects would be authorized at current investment levels.”
They are no longer guaranteed, however. Instead, the
The BUILD America 250 Act has the support of transportation industry professional associations, union and other stakeholders, including the Transportation Construction Coalition.
responsibility for funding these programs would shift to the congressional appropriations process.
ARTBA reported that mass transit programs would receive a $2 billion investment cut to $16.9 billion in FY 2027 with modest growth thereafter.
“This cut is due, in large part, to the elimination of $1.6 billion in annual guaranteed Capital Investment Grants (CIG) included in current law.”
The CIG program, which supports transit capital projects, is authorized at $3 billion each year.
But the bill states that all resources would need to be secured through the annual appropriations process.
“The BUILD America 250 Act would establish a $130 annual fee on electric vehicles (EVs) and $35 annual fee for hybrid vehicles,” said ARTBA. see INFRASTRUCTURE page 40

Associations Back Bipartisan Reauthorization Package
This would ensure all users of the highway system support its maintenance and upkeep.
“These provisions would represent new revenue to the Highway Trust Fund (HTF) for the first time in decades,” said the association.
The fees would gradually increase every two years but are capped at $150 for EVs and $50 for hybrids.
ARTBA noted that these user fees are a “welcome” recognition of the importance of the user pays system. But, the association cautioned, “Congress will have to identify additional resources to cover the measure’s total expenditures.”
ARTBA also reported that roadway workers are a specific focus throughout the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) section. That issue is included in safety data collection, construction zones as hazardous locations and in the definition of road users.
“These provisions will help differentiate roadway workers from other pedestrians in the policymaking process,” said the association.
An interagency working group would be established to develop recommendations for work zone protections and would require stakeholder input.
The bill would reauthorize the DBE program, setting a “national, aspirational goal” of at least 10 percent. It states this goal is to be achieved “through good faith efforts” of state and local transportation agencies.
“The provisions are consistent with USDOT’s recent interim final rule, which now cites “social and economic disadvantage” for the program’s continuance. It would instruct the secretary of transportation to develop “objective criteria” for states in evaluating individuals applying for DBE certification.
The bill also would direct the secretary to issue guidance on state auditing of procurements.
The secretary also would identify anticompetitive bidding patterns and reduce reliance on historical data in developing engineer’s estimates, said ARTBA.
“If enacted, it would establish a committee within USDOT … for recommendation of federal regulatory revisions,” added the association.
The committee would include representatives of state DOTs and industry associations.
The regulatory revisions would have a goal of preventing anticompetitive bidding practices on federal-aid highway projects.
According to ARTBA, three other committees in the House will consider parts of the legislation before the full chamber acts.
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.)
In the Senate, the Environment and Public Works Committee is planning to release the highway portion of their bill by July 4, 2026.
The Banking, Commerce and Finance Committees also must develop sections of the bill before Senate floor consideration.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee, Science, Space and Technology Committee, and Ways & Means Committee also will study bill sections.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee is still aiming to release its highway portion of a reauthorization bill this summer.
Industry Backs Surface Transportation Funding
More than 400 industry associations were represented in Washington D.C. to lobby Congress to fund a new surface transportation bill.
According to Traffic Technology Today a coalition of construction leaders, labor representatives, engineers and infrastructure advocates gathered for the cause.
In conjunction, the Transportation Construction Coalition (TCC) held a flyin this spring to push Congress to deliver a reauthorization bill before the fall deadline.
“America’s transportation construction industry has arrived in Washington with a simple message,” announced the TCC.
“Pass a reauthorization bill that helps deliver
Federal transportation investments are not abstract line items, the coalition stressed.
Current surface transportation authorization expires in September and industry leaders warn delays could stall projects. Delays also could drive up costs and create uncertainty for states and contractors planning long-term work, the coalition believes.
“The next reauthorization is about delivering safer roads, easier commutes, stronger supply chains and lower costs for American families and businesses,” it said. “As lawmakers begin to debate the next surface transportation bill, they should protect the crucial investments already at work”
The coalition also urged Congress to adjust investments for inflation “and deliver a bipartisan bill by September 30.”
The TCC published its 2026 Principles for Surface Transportation Reauthorization, a framework to guide the legislative process. The group wants protected current investment levels and inflation adjustments “to maintain purchasing power.”
That’s alongside project delivery improvements to ensure federal dollars are used efficiently. It asked congress to increase resources to protect workers in
public.
The coalition wants to see modernized federal user fee structures to provide fair, sustainable long-term revenue streams.
The TCC is a partnership of 34 national associations and construction unions representing individuals with a direct interest in federal transportation programs. Established in 1996, it is co-chaired by the ARTBA and the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of America.
Justin Harclerode compiled comments from the various associations in the wake of the BUILD America 250 Act’s markup. Communications director of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, he noted numerous groups have come out in support of the bill.
“Consistent, long-term funding, combined with well-crafted policy structures, positions the act to support transportation systems across the country,” said ARTBA.
The AGC also weighed in, saying it appreciates the bill’s strong focus on core infrastructure such as roads and bridges. The group also supports the act’s “continued emphasis on formula funding rather than discretionary grant programs.”
AGC likes that the package includes important project delivery reforms that will help reduce delays and improve the efficiency of delivering transportation projects. CEG

By Lee Tice SPECIAL TO CEG
Electric machines have earned a place on the job site, but myths about battery life, cost and longterm durability still linger. With more than five years of field data on early-generation electric compact equipment, it’s time to set the record straight.
Fiction: Battery performance drops off after a couple of years.
Fact: Machines in the field for more than five years are still running strong. Battery health has remained stable due to lithium-ion technology and smart battery management systems. No widespread battery failures. No performance nosedives. Operators who stick to best charging practices see consistent, reliable performance year after year.
Fiction: Electric machines are a maintenance headache.
Fact: Electric machines have fewer moving parts than their diesel counterparts. That means no oil changes, no fuel filters and no engine servicing. What does matter? Battery care. Avoiding full depletions and charging smartly — just like you would with your phone or laptop — goes a long way. With builtin safeguards and proper use, the maintenance is simple and predictable.
Demystifying Battery Performance, ROI in Real World
Fiction: They cost more to own.
Fact: While electric machines can carry a higher upfront price tag, the total cost of ownership often tells a different story. Fuel savings alone can be significant, especially as diesel prices fluctuate. Add in reduced maintenance, fewer downtime events and available state-level incentives, the ROI becomes clear. Over five years, many operators break even or come out ahead.
Fiction: Electric means lower performance.
Fact: Today’s electric compact machines are designed to match their diesel counterparts in breakout force, hydraulic power and runtime. For task-based work — especially in compact environments or on multi-job days — electric machines deliver the same results with less noise and zero emissions.
Fiction: You need special charging infrastructure.

Case’s 580EV Electric Backhoe Offers Versatility On Modern Job Site
As construction fleets explore loweremission equipment solutions, electric backhoe loaders are a practical option for contractors working in urban, municipal and utility environments. Case Construction Equipment’s 580EV electric backhoe loader offers a strong example of how manufacturers are adapting one of the industry’s most versatile machine platforms for the next generation of jobsites.
Introduced as the industry’s first commercially available electric backhoe loader, the Case 580EV was designed as a purpose-built electric machine rather than a retrofit of a diesel-powered platform. That distinction is important because it allowed engineers to optimize the machine’s performance, efficiency and operator experience specifically around electrification.
“Case’s EV offerings are all about unlocking more opportunities for customers,” said Terry Dolan, head of CNH Construction Brands, Commercial. “With the 580EV electric backhoe loader, we took an industry staple and designed it as a purpose-built EV to help crews meet increasingly unique jobsite demands and also win more contracts on projects that may prioritize sustainability criteria.”
The 580EV maintains the same loading and digging specifications as the Case 580SN diesel backhoe, including comparable breakout forces and a four-wheel-drive configuration. For contractors, that means crews can transition to electric power without sacrificing the core capabilities expected from a traditional backhoe loader.
The machine features a 14-ft. backhoe with ProControl swing dampening and Extendahoe reach, along with PowerLift/ PowerBoost and electrohydraulic controls to improve precision and responsiveness on the jobsite.
Power comes from a 400-volt, 73-kWh lithium-ion battery system that’s designed to provide up to eight hours of runtime, depending on the application.
The machine uses Level 2 J1772 charging technology commonly found in automotive EVs, helping simplify charging logistics for contractors and municipalities already investing in EV infrastructure. Case also integrated advanced thermal management systems with cooling circuits to help maintain performance in both hot and cold operating conditions.
Electric operation delivers several advantages besides a reduction in emissions. Instant torque response allows operators to
access peak torque immediately, eliminating the lag associated with diesel engines ramping up under load.
The 580EV also operates with significantly lower noise levels, making it well-suited for overnight construction, residential utility work and projects in dense urban corridors where sound restrictions may apply. Lower maintenance requirements and reduced fuel costs can further improve long-term operating

All-Electric Site: Vögele’s Mini 502e Paver, Hamm 12e Roller
A cost-efficient and safe construction process, lower noise and CO2 emissions — the concept of an all-electric construction site brings numerous advantages for construction contractors, personnel and nearby residents.
The lead contractor used only fully electric machines for the earthworks and road construction measures in the course of the power grid upgrade project in Rangendingen, BadenWürttemberg. The pilot construction site in Rangendingen is part of the “NETZbaustelle der Zukunft” Construction Site for the Future) — an ongoing program initiated by Netze BW, the largest grid operator for power, gas and water in Baden-Württemberg. The pilot project
The Vögele paver was closely followed by a Hamm HD 12e VT battery-electric roller, which compacted the paved asphalt immediately behind it.
served as a test to determine which measures can be used to carry out tomorrow’s construction with lower-emissions, less noise and in a more digitalized and safer manner.
E-Machines From Vögele, Hamm
Two new additions to the contractor’s fleet were used for the paving and compaction of the asphalt layer: an HD 12e VT tandem roller from Hamm and a Vögele Mini 502e wheeled paver. Both machines work with low noise and zero local operating emissions. As a result, they are the ideal choice for use on urban
In the course of a power grid upgrade project, the lead contractor fielded a battery-electric paver from Vögele and an electric roller from Hamm.
Power for Up to Two Days of Paving, Compaction
The paver and the roller began their day’s work in Rangendingen with batteries fully charged during the night before. The battery of the Mini 502e wheeled paver has a storage capacity of 22 kWh, while the tandem roller has a storage capacity of 23.4 kWh.
Both machines offered sufficient energy for a running time of up to two days of paving and compaction. The paving team also had the opportunity to connect to an on-site power distribution box and familiarize themselves with the charging process. The machine operators were able to read off the current charge level of the respective machines from the displays on the control consoles at any time.
for the repair work on the narrow and partly winding sidewalk of the Königsberger Strasse. The compact wheeled paver requires little space for maneuvering and has a very small turning circle. The team was therefore able to pave the asphalt surface course efficiently and with quality.
Electrically-Powered Conveyors, Augers
The Mini 502e has a large material hopper with a wide funnelshaped opening that was fed with material from the side by a wheel loader. This made the transfer of the asphalt mix to the paver a particularly convenient and clean process. The asphalt mix was spread across the entire paving width by two electrically-powered spreading augers.

The updated AP1000 and AP1055 paver models move the engine oil filter and drain to the left side compartment near the DEF tank to simplify service.
Caterpillar announced multiple design enhancements for the Cat AP1000 wheel and AP1055 track asphalt pavers, targeting increases in reliability and longevity as well as simplified maintenance.
Plus, customers now have a choice between two SDX screed plate system designs — original textured SDX plates and new smooth SDX plates that perform like conventional screed plates with the added benefits of long life and quickchange capability, according to Caterpillar.
“Hot, dusty environments. Sticky asphalt that can subject the cooling system to fine airborne particles during material transfer. Paving applications pose some of the most challenging environments for the equipment. We’ve improved our cooling system filtration, moved our hydraulic charge pump and added a remote oil filter to improve reliability and simplify maintenance,” said Jon Anderson, senior sales support consultant of Caterpillar.
“The construction of textured and smooth Cat SDX screed plates offers more abrasion resistance to asphalt material to help improve plate life and machine uptime availability.”
Simplifying Maintenance
The updated AP1000 and AP1055 paver models move the engine oil filter and drain to the left side compartment near the DEF tank to simplify service. Previous designs required accessing these items through swingout doors located at the back of the hopper.
The new, easier access filter lessens the complexities associated with hopper inserts and material build-up around the access doors. In addition, relocation of the hydraulic charge pump to the propel pump
stack provides easier access and improved reliability compared to previous designs. When fine asphalt particles accumulate in the cooling fins over time, engine temperatures can rise. To help mitigate this, a new optional prefiltration system is available for the AP1000 and AP1055 pavers. Located in the center housing on the top deck for easy access, the four interchangeable filters help prevent fines build-up and simplify routine maintenance, according to Caterpillar. In addition, the fan drive motors are now located beneath the fan blades to further assist with easier cleaning from above.
In 2026, Caterpillar celebrates 30 years of paving innovation with the AP1055. Caterpillar first introduced the AP1055B asphalt paver with Mobil-Trac undercarriage in 1996. Providing travel speeds like wheel pavers with the flotation benefits of track pavers, the Mobil-Trac system was designed to increase jobsite mobility.
Since that time, there have been a number of design innovations, such as the introduction of a smooth belt in 2007, oscillating bogie design, electronic control modules (ECMs) enabling proportional control for the material feed system and eliminating flow gates for material flow, and dual operating stations with settings that transfer from side to side with a flip of a switch to provide enhanced control and visibility.
Long-Life SDX Screed Plating System

change capability to be used on a wide range of applications from mainline to commercial.
Two SDX plate designs are now available for contractors. Textured SDX plates feature angular grooves that promote increased density and smoothness behind the paver to help meet the toughest density specifications. Performing like traditional screed plates, smooth SDX plates deliver the added benefit of modular, quick-change capability, according to Caterpillar.
Built with chromium alloy materials, Cat SDX plates deliver significantly more abrasion resistance than Cat standard and cladded extended-life screed plates.
“We used ASTM G65 dry sand rubber wheel test procedures to evaluate the longevity of our SDX plates,” said Anderson. “Based on testing performed by Caterpillar utilizing ASTM G65 dry sand rubber wheel test procedures, the chromium alloy materials in our SDX plates deliver 4.2 times more abrasion resistance compared to our standardwear screed plates and 1.2 times more resistance when compared to the cladded material used in our extended-life screed plates.”
Test results do not guarantee similar abrasion resistance improvements in paving application performance. Results may vary due to individual plate variation, paving techniques and paving conditions.
Caterpillar’s SDX screed plates are designed with integrated tapered blocks that fit over the front and rear of the adaptor plates. High-temperature silicone locking bans apply tension to securely hold the screed plates in place. Reducing standard hardware needed, the design
shortens replacement time to as little as four hours.
Advanced Technologies
Enhancing situational awareness when operating the compactor, the now available Cat Detect collision mitigation system features an integrated, intelligent sensor array to provide forward and reverse collision warnings, people detection, motion inhibit and automatic braking. Visible in real-time and recorded for future analysis, critical zone detection events transmitted to VisionLink enables organizations to proactively mitigate potential hazards, enhance operational safety and identify opportunities for improvement.
The collision warning radar system targets collision potentials in front of and behind the compactor using audible and visual alerts that allow the operator to see, manage and mitigate hazards that may otherwise go undetected. Leveraging smart cameras, people detection alerts the operator when on-site personnel are detected to the front and rear of the compactor, providing alert levels that dynamically adjust travel speed based on the person’s proximity to the machine. With manual override capability, motion inhibit prevents compactor movement when the machine is stationary for at least two seconds and the detection system identifies a collision potential. When the compactor is in motion and critical zone detection occurs, automatic emergency braking activates if the operator fails to act. When the critical zone detection clears, compactor control returns to the operator.

Mini 502e Wheeled Paver Offers
Energy Efficiency, Top Performance
High Compaction Performance
The Hamm HD 12e VT roller followed on immediately behind the Vögele paver and compacted the paved asphalt. This machine is quiet with a clear and simple handling concept, according to Hamm. Other advantages were the high compaction force and precision of the small electric roller and its ability to compact precisely up to the edges of the paved surface. As is often the case on smaller construction sites, it also played out its particular strengths as a combination roller. The combination of dynamic compaction via the smooth drum and the kneading and fulling effect of the rubber tires not only enabled rapidly increasing compaction, but also ensured uniform surface sealing.
High Performance, Low Energy Consumption
The paving team drew a positive conclusion after completion of the construction project. According to the paving team, the electricallypowered road pavers and rollers are very powerful, easy to operate and have a minimal energy footprint. They draw power only when they are actually under load, which plays an important role in the achievement of cost-efficient construction processes.
At the same time, the paving team and nearby residents benefit from the low noise levels and zero emission paving.
“We are pleased to be able to contribute to the reduction of noise and environmental impact here on the site through the use of all-electric construction equipment,” said Jean-Pierre Liedtke, site manager of Leonhard Weiss.

Vögele Introduces Its New Dash 5 Generation Pavers
Vögele launched the new Dash 5 Generation pavers in the United States at ConExpo 2026.
Alongside the Super 2100-5 X, the road paver specialist showed the new 10-ft. class for the first time at the show in Las Vegas. The Super 2000-5 X tracked paver enables paving widths of 10 ft. to 27 ft. 9 in., while the Super 2003-5 X wheeled variant achieves paving widths of up to 25 ft. 5 in.
Both pavers offer a laydown rate of up to 1,540 tons per hour and are designed for high paving speeds. As Dash 5 generation machines, they also combine user-friendliness, process automation and cost efficiency.
A number of new features increase operator comfort and reduce the commissioning and setup times. This increases productivity while simultaneously reducing costs for transportation or reworking, according to Vögele.
New Dash 5 Screeds
Both pavers can be used in combination with the new VR 600 and VF The VR 600 with screed extensions mounted behind the basic screed is equipped with a completely redesigned guidance system that simplifies the paving of concrete profiles, according to Vögele.
In addition, its very low height affords an ideal overview of the inside of the auger tunnel. It offers paving widths of 10 25 ft. 9 in. and is suitable for the construction of highways and larger projects with high paving speeds.
The VF 600 with extensions mounted in front of the basic screed offers an improved material flow for even material spreading. It enables paving widths of 10 and is ideal for jobs with varying working widths.
The extensions for both screed types can be tilted by up to 10 percent and are therefore precisely aligned with the paving needs of the North American market. In conjunction with the vibration compaction system (V), they achieve optimal evenness and precompaction.

Lower Emissions
In addition, Vögele has implemented a number of measures designed to reduce the Dash 5 paver’s CO2 and noise emissions. These include the improved EcoPlus low-emissions package. The speedcontrolled fan has been adapted so that it calculates the rotational speed even more precisely and, together with other measures, reduces noise emissions.
New Dash 5 Mini Class Pavers
More Comfort, Automation, Efficiency
Both the screeds and the pavers of the new Dash 5 generation are designed entirely with their users in mind: with the upgraded ErgoPlus 5 operating concept, Vögele provides a better overview, more comfort and storage options, improved ergonomics and an optional touchscreen display for digital applications.
The new RoadScan option can be be added to enable precise, full-coverage measurement of the paving temperature over a measuring width of up to 42 ft. 8 in.
Apart from the highway class pavers, Vögele also presented a mini class paver of the new generation in Las Vegas, the Super 800-5 P. 700i, has an hp, a laydown rate of up to 330 tons per hour and, with a width in. and a length of 14 ft. 5 in., is also extremely compact, according to
In combination with the AB 200 and AB 220 extending screeds and the vibration or tamper and vibration compaction variants, it offers paving widths between 1 ft. 8 in. in. — making it the ideal choice for paving on narrow construction sites, according to Vögele. Compared to 5 model also incorporates numerous new features.
New Hopper Geometry, New Operator’s Platform
On the one hand, Vögele has updated the material hopper: the asymmetrical material hopper wall configuration, for instance for paving along a wall, is now possible on both sides. Furthermore, the hopper walls of the P now feature a double folding function, according to Vögele. This gives the operator an unobstructed view ahead of the
Vögele also has further improved the ergonomics of the operator’s platform: the angle of the new ErgoBasic paver operator’s control console can now be adjusted in four steps to accommodate taller or smaller
The new paver access control function (PAC) enables convenient commissioning and decommissioning of the Dash 5 paver from ground level, according to Vögele.
the Dash 5 pavers reduce the users’ workload while simultaneously increasing efficiency and quality, according to Vögele.
In addition, the Lighting Package Plus option with permanently integrated LED floodlights provides additional safety and shorter setup times when working on construction sites at night. With automatic functions such as AutoTrac automatic steering and screed width control or the Smart Pave digital paving control system,
Furthermore, the digital solution Wirtgen Group performance tracker (WPT) paving enables precise documentation of the paving process and the work on the construction site. The new RoadScan option can be added to enable precise, full-coverage measurement of the paving temperature over a measuring width of up to 42 ft. 8 in.
For the first time, the operator’s console of the new ErgoBasic 5 operating concept features an integrated display on which the operator can view the operational data of the machine in real-time.
In addition, Vögele has fully integrated operation of the auto grade basic system for automated grade and slope control into the machine control system. This means that screed operators can now control the Super 800-5 P via a console in compact form. For more information, visit wirtgen-group.com.

Bobcat Expands Salvation Army Partnership to Support Relief
Bobcat Co., a global equip ment and worksite solutions brand, is expanding its partner ship with The Salvation Army to further support disaster pre paredness and relief efforts.
Through this expanded com mitment, Bobcat has donated an additional $465,000 in equip ment — bringing total donations to more than $1.35 million since 2024.
In 2024, Bobcat donated 23 critical pieces of equipment, in cluding forklifts, portable gen erators and light towers, to aid The Salvation Army’s disaster response operations following Hurricanes Helene and Milton. That donation was deployed across the Southeast, ensuring faster, more effective relief for impacted communities.
Its latest donation, which includes porta ble generators and light towers, will support six Salvation Army locations across the United States — Alaska, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri and New York — strengthening the organization’s fleet across multiple territories.
With the continued support of Bobcat, The Salvation Army is equipped to respond quickly to emergencies and provide sus tained relief in communities most impacted by natural disasters.
“The support from Bobcat enables our Emergency Disaster Services teams to re spond quickly and effectively when com munities face disasters,” said Commissioner Merle Heatwole, national commander of The Salvation Army. “With reliable equip ment like generators, forklifts and light towers, we can provide critical services — meals, distribution of emergency supplies, and emotional and spiritual care — without delay. We are deeply grateful for Bobcat’s ongoing partnership and commitment to helping us serve those in greatest need across the country.”
often at the forefront of cleanup and recovery efforts following hurricanes, tornadoes, floods and wildfires — helping communities rebuild faster and stronger.
According to the National Centers for Environmental Information, the United States averaged 23 billion dollar weather disasters per year between 2020 and 2024 —up from an average of just three per year in the 1980s.
As disasters become more frequent and severe, emergency response organizations like The Salvation Army increasingly rely on mobile power and lighting solutions, including generators and light towers, to operate continuously and deliver essential support when communities need it most.
“Our mission at Bobcat is to empower people to accomplish more, and that includes lifting up communities in their time of greatest need,” said Mike Ballweber, president of Doosan Bobcat North America, Inc. “By deepening our partnership with The Salvation Army, we’re helping their teams reach more individuals, deliver more services and make a greater impact when it matters most.”
Together, Bobcat and The Salvation Army are ensuring disaster relief teams are equipped to respond efficiently, extend their reach and provide essential services to individuals and families across the country.

CTDOT Starts Construction On Several Waterbury Branch Line Station Upgrades
Gov. Ned Lamont and CTDOT announced the start of construction on major upgrades to four stations on the Metro-North Waterbury Branch Line, located in DerbyShelton, Ansonia, Beacon Falls and Seymour. Construction on all four stations is began in May 2026 and is anticipated to be completed by spring 2028.
The upgrades will transform these stations with new 350-ft. platforms designed to accommodate full train boarding, along with covered canopies and enclosed windscreens to improve comfort in all weather. Stations will feature real-time arrival information, ticket vending, improved lighting and clear wayfinding. Each location will be ADA accessible, with better pedestrian access and safer passenger flow.
In Derby, the project will restore the vacant historic station building to provide indoor waiting space and add new bus bays to strengthen connections with local transit services, creating a more seamless regional hub.
These projects are part of a broader statewide initiative to upgrade all six stations along the Waterbury Branch Line between 2025 and 2028 at an estimated cost of $193 million. Led by the Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT), the program is modernizing a critical regional rail corridor with safer, more accessible and more reliable infrastructure for riders.

“For too long, riders on the Waterbury Branch Line have been making do with aging and inaccessible infrastructure. That changes now,” said Gov. Lamont. “These investments are about more than about improved stations; they’re about giving working families in the Naugatuck Valley the same quality of service that riders elsewhere take for granted, and building the kind of connected, affordable communities that keep people here.”
To support construction, rail service will be temporarily replaced with bus service on the Waterbury Branch Line from July 20, 2026, through May 31, 2027. Because the line operates on a single track, major work at the Ansonia and Beacon Falls stations cannot be completed safely while trains are

running. This includes shifting the track to align with new, longer platforms. Suspending service allows crews to work at both locations at the same time and complete the work as quickly as possible.
The outage also allows CTDOT to advance bridge, signal and infrastructure upgrades between Stratford and Bridgeport where the Waterbury Branch Line connects to the New Haven Line. Coordinating this work, which is under the Track Improvement Mobility Enhancement for Connecticut (TIME FOR
CT) Program, reduces the need for additional future disruptions and keeps the overall project on schedule.
By completing these efforts together, the state expects to save more than $47 million and shorten the Waterbury Station improvements by approximately one year. These savings are driven in large part by using a single extended outage to complete both the station track work and TIME For CT improvements. Bus service will be provided during this period.

Kevin Garcia, general manager of civil specialty solutions of Trimble, answers common contractor questions and discusses future developments.
Q: What’s the most common technology challenge you hear from contractors in the field right now?
Without question, it’s managing data around the job site, specifically, getting that data to flow the way it should. Many don’t realize they don’t have to run design models out to machines on a USB stick anymore. They can have as-built data streaming in from their machines in real time, view productivity metrics through cloud-based tools and track where equipment is across the site without leaving the office.
Also, not everything requires powerful office software. It’s much easier to create infield designs and other basic tasks directly from survey solutions or even on the machine control software. The connected site environment effectively flows data, and it usually branches from there into other things, such as e-ticketing integrations. Those capabilities are real and affordable today.

Trimble’s Garcia Explores Emerging Technologies Shaping Modern Paving
require lower International Roughness Index numbers, and some are offering bonuses for hitting smoothness targets.
There are more surface types that need precision than most think — pickleball courts, tennis courts, running tracks. 3D helps you meet those specifications. That said, 3D isn’t the only path to smoothness. There are exceptional 2D laser approaches that provide the right smoothness target for certain applications.
Q: Compaction is critical to pavement life, but it’s traditionally hard to measure while work is actually happening. What’s changing?
This is a big development, and it applies to every paving contractor regardless of what kind of work they do — everyone needs a properly compacted surface. Traditionally, the approach is formulaic with estimated proof rolls and an inspector on hand to test for accuracy.
Now, you can get density readings from inside the roller cab while you’re compacting. You’re measuring, not guessing. That’s a meaningful shift for road life, maintenance costs and even safety, as now inspectors aren’t walking active paving zones to verify density.
Q: What technology is growing in ways that are surprising even to contractors who consider themselves tech-forward?
Reality capture, without question. There’s been an explosion of ways to document what you’ve built and compare it against the design, and contractors are realizing it’s not just for the owner’s benefit. It protects them too. Mobile mapping systems and terrestrial scanners give you much better results. What’s interesting is that tools like Trimble SiteVision, which uses a LiDAR scanner connected to a smartphone can now accurately capture a site and overlay a point cloud against the design model.
You’re literally looking at the physical reality and the design at the same time. It’s become a genuinely practical — and affordable — tool for verifying that what you built matches what was planned. Constructiongrade survey work — knowing where your edge of pavement is, where your back of curb is, what your elevations should be, where your crown and slope
Many don’t realize they don’t have to run design models out to machines on a USB stick anymore.
transitions are — is very achievable without a professional surveyor’s license.
Q: Many contractors simply can’t afford the capital expense of technology investment such as machine control. Is there an alternative?
A large upfront capital outlay is not the only option. Look into subscriptions that let you access the hardware and software for a fixed monthly cost that goes into job cost rather than sitting on the balance sheet as a capital expenditure. And there are benefits beyond just cash flow: You always have the latest hardware. You’re covered if equipment gets accidentally damaged. You never have buyer’s remorse because something newer came out.
Another option, if you’re a company just starting your technology journey and machine control feels like too big a first step, digital survey solutions are a logical starting point. You get speed and you get cost savings. The investment is minimal compared to machine control, and the ability to verify your own work on your own schedule changes how projects move.
Q: What kind of return on investment can a contractor realistically expect in year one of a technology investment?
It depends on where you start, but the returns are real and they come faster than most people expect. One contractor — a self-described late adopter — decided to invest in grade control for the compact machines they use to prep subbase before paving. They
reported grading 50 percent faster than before they had the technology, and they paid off the investment in the first six months.
Q: When will asphalt pavers have the ability to auto-steer — and what’s holding it back?
Auto steering has the potential to transform jobsite operations, giving operators one less thing to coordinate during a complex operation. This technology is advancing quickly and the list of supported machines should expand significantly within the next 18 months.
Q: What about AI for paving applications?
Where AI is genuinely useful right now is in two places. One is technical support: a few search terms now gets you to the right answer far faster than hunting through documentation or YouTube videos. The other is processing things like point cloud classification and feature extraction, a task that used to take experienced operators hours but is now becoming automated.
Many are hoping to see AI solutions that help create a model. The time it takes to get from survey data to a usable design model will accelerate, and AI will fill in parts of the process that currently require hours of skilled CAD work. But there’s considerable work still to do. Right now, AI can accelerate the path to a model, but it can’t replace the professional sign-off and the engineering accountability piece. That still requires a human.

The highly efficient yet powerful hydraulic system minimizes fuel consumption while maximizing power. according to the company.
“The KOBELCO pilot controlled hydraulic system delivers smooth response to operator input with an outstanding digging force of 90,598 lbf and an arm force of 61,148 lbf,” said KOBELCO.
It features auto warm-up, combination rotation with two-way nibbler breaker with case drain, ISO/ BHL pattern changer and boom and arm safety valves. Having the ability to multifunction while traveling (lift, swing and carry) is provided due to the exclusive “Independent Travel” function. With the press of a switch, the machine dedicates one hydraulic pump to the travel system and one to all the other functions. This allows the -11 series to smoothly travel while having the ability lift and swing heavy loads. Heavy Lift and Power Boost (with unlimited time use) selection adds the power needed to get through the toughest conditions and the in-cab hydraulic pressure release function
allows customers to change work tools or hoses easily and safely, according to KOBELCO.

A heavy-duty exterior includes a retractable undercarriage, three track guides, belly guards, swivel guard and folding cat walks. For added safety, the machine has six front and four rear LED work lights, exclusive rear swing flashers, battery disconnect switch and a heavy-duty Level II FOPS cab guard that opens for easy cleaning. Additionally, the powerful reversable fan and removable clean out screens keep the machine running cool, the company said.
The -11 series features cabin environments with enhanced ergonomics and safety features with best-in-class cabin space and visibility. This cabin includes a seven-way adjustable, heated air suspension seat that moves together with the armrests and hydraulic controls to reduce operator fatigue, provides excellent shock absorption and superior ride comfort, according to KOBELCO.
The operator’s pilot levers move horizontally without arching of the wrist, while also providing shorter lever strokes to deliver a swifter, more precise movement, added KOBELCO. Multiple air conditioning and heater vents are directed toward the operator to maximize comfort. On the right-side console, there is a jog dial that integrates multiple functions into a single user interface with the large 10-in. color monitor. This easy-to-operate menu screen facilitates reading of important information including work mode, maintenance intervals and fuel consumption, as well as providing a 270-degree view from the machine’s standard three camera system.

‘heyTADANO’ AI Assistant Wins 2026 Design Award
How heavy is the boom tip of the AC 7.450-1? Which hydraulic oil do I need at -15 degrees celsius? How often do I need to change the oil filter? The Tadano AI assistant “heyTADANO” knows the answers to these questions.
Whether it’s operating instructions, technical questions or troubleshooting, heyTADANO is available around the clock for crane operators as the first point of contact for intelligent and fast crane support. Now, Tadano has significantly enhanced its Ai assistant with upgrades and voice control — and received the German Design Award 2026 in the “AI in Communications Design” category for it.
The jury particularly praised the successful combination of technical precision, high-quality content and consistent usercentricity in the redesigned app.
“With heyTADANO, we are underscoring our expertise in Ai-supported information solutions while simultaneously strengthening our service for partners and customers,” said Matthias Schneider, marketing manager EMEA and global digital marketing lead, delighted with the award. “This award confirms Tadano’s high standards for innovation, userfriendliness and digital communication.”
Optimized Design for Improved User Guidance
heyTADANO earned the German Design Award primarily through its revamped design. This includes a particularly clear categorization of products, a modern and consistent look and optimized user guidance for even faster access to relevant information.
To ensure heyTADANO can provide the right answer to every question, Tadano trained its AI assistant using all operation manuals for every Tadano crane and other official Tadano documents. heyTADANO can provide the information it contains in just a few moments — without the need for time-consuming searches through manuals or waiting for callbacks.
Voice Control for iOS, Android Devices
For iOS devices, Tadano offers a dedicated heyTADANO app in the App Store. This app enables voice control, which can be activated with the voice command “Hey Tadano.” Once activated, questions can be asked verbally; the answer is also given verbally. A web version is available for Android devices, which includes a tap-to-speech function for voice input.
“The new voice function significantly simplifies the use of the app, especially in operational settings,” said Schneider.
Free to Use
The tool is available free of charge in more than 50 languages at hey.tadano.tools and in the iOS App Store and can be used immediately after a one-time registration. For more information, visit tadano.com.

Milton CAT’s HammerDock Solves Challenging Problem
A guided entry system, using a tapered aluminum pin, helps align the hammer during placement while minimizing the risk of damage to internal components. Once in position, a bracing mechanism locks the hammer in place, preventing forward or backward movement. A custom top plate design further stabilizes the unit by eliminating lateral shifting. The stand itself is built with a broad, stable base and includes features designed for real-world conditions, pads that allow it to settle on uneven or soft ground, resist movement on icy surfaces and protect finished areas such as asphalt.
Transport also has been rethought. With integrated forklift pockets positioned above the center of gravity, the system ensures the hammer can be moved in a stable, controlled manner, avoiding the top heavy instability that typically complicates handling. Additional details, such as lifting eyes, hose retaining rings that double as tie-down points and built-in storage for manuals and safety instructions, reinforce the system’s focus on usability and consistency in the field.
The result is not just a stand, it’s a
standardized way of working.
“The Milton CAT HammerDock stands have improved the way we store and handle our hydraulic hammers, extending equipment life, improving organization and enhancing jobsite safety during tool changeouts”, said Bill Schaab, senior vice president of American Demolition and Nuclear Decommissioning.
By improving how hammers are stored, moved and handled between jobs, HammerDock helps reduce avoidable damage, improve jobsite safety and extend the usable life of the equipment. For contractors and rental fleets alike, that translates into fewer repairs, less downtime and more reliable performance when it matters most, according to Milton CAT.
This is not a solution that adds complexity, it removes it, because in an industry where time, safety and equipment reliability are critical, innovation doesn’t always come from adding more technology. Sometimes, it comes from addressing the everyday challenges that crews have learned to work around and
