In many communities, large construction companies play an important role. Yet despite their size and impact, they go virtually unnoticed. Some companies like it that way while other leaders and their teams see things differently. They believe that community involvement can pay big benefits. Making it easier to hire and retain employees is just one of the benefits of being engaged with local communities.
O&G Industries, headquartered in Torrington, Conn., has won several awards for its community involvement. According to Brad Oneglia, vice president of O & G, being involved in the community is “simply the right thing to do,” he said.
In 2023, the team decided to use community involvement as a way to showcase the company’s 100th anniversary.
“We wanted to make a concerted effort to the towns where we live and work that we couldn’t have been successful without their support,” he said. “We hire from these towns and do projects in these towns. So, it was natural to give back to the schools and do projects in those communities. We didn’t want our efforts or money to go to
out-of-town organizations, but instead to make an impact in those communities that are most important to us.”
O&G decided to work through local
During the AED Summit/CONDEX event held Jan. 19-21, 2026, in Dallas Texas, the association’s board of directors and fellow members honored Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) with an award commemorating 50 years of continuous membership. Ted McKeon (R), president of Construction Equipment Guide, accepts the award from Jon Cruthers (L), senior vice president, market and business development, Associated Equipment Distributors (AED). CEG is celebrating its 68th year in business in 2026.
nonprofits or aid projects that employees were already supporting. O&G looked at communities where the company’s asphalt plants, masonry showrooms, quarries or concrete facilities already were operating. The contributions were significant, including such things as donating a forklift to a local food bank.
“It became an exciting year for us in many ways,” said Oneglia. “For some of us it was the highlight of the year. I remember one instance where we were able to help a family whose child had a severe illness. It was thrilling to see the smile on the face of the child as he came home from school to see a completely remodeled backyard that we had assisted in building.”
Local communities have expressed their gratitude for these efforts.
“Corporate America is coming to realize the importance of giving back to the community,” he added. “Helping out Little Leagues, emergency services and other projects is gratifying. And, of course, our employees enjoy their participation.”
Lehman-Roberts, a Granite Company, is another construction business that has been repeatedly recognized for its community involvement. For 11 years, the company has partnered with sister company Memphis Stone & Gravel to make a maximum impact in the community for the annual Martin Luther King Day of service. The service projects now extend beyond just a single day and last as long as a month.
“We had 275 employees participate last year in an outreach that took over two months to plan and execute,” said Taylor
McPherson, director of communications and engagement. “It was an honor to work with 15 nonprofits to partner in projects across Memphis and Northern Mississippi. Just like our mission statement says, our goal is to help the communities where we live and work to thrive.”
The community projects embraced diverse efforts and included helping local food pantries, community development and education.
“We continue to see more and more team members submit and lead projects of their own,” said McPherson. “The work is great for building morale and camaraderie among our people. Our goal with these projects is to grow capacity of the organizations we are supporting.”
Lehman-Roberts employs a number of veterans, and the team was able to connect for significant work at the Alpha Omega Veterans Services headquarters building in Memphis.
“Our team members who were veterans have led projects there in recent years and supported the start of a vegetable garden.”
Some estimates within the industry reveal that nearly 500,000 new workers will be needed this year to keep pace with construction trends. Also, nearly onefourth of the workforce is expected to retire in the next 10 years. Clearly, attracting and retaining workers to the construction industry will continue to be important.
Companies like O&G, Lehman-Roberts and others have successfully raised their profiles in local communities. The results have included benefits for the employees, their families and the communities. CEG

Eagle Power & Equipment recently celebrated the retirement of longtime employee Frank Beck, marking the close of a remarkable 53-year career that began on April 10, 1972. Colleagues, customers and friends gathered for a retirement party honoring a man widely regarded as both a cornerstone of the business and a beloved member of the Eagle Power family.
Beck’s career at Eagle Power over five decades reflected both his adaptability, deep industry knowledge, loyalty, unrelenting work ethic and integrity. He began in the service department, gaining hands-on experience with equipment before moving into sales early in his career. In 2016, after decades in the field, Beck transitioned into the role of account specialist, where he managed key accounts and a defined list of long-term customers.
Throughout his tenure, Beck played a significant role in Eagle Power’s market success. Matt McDonald, president of Eagle Power, estimated that from 1996 to the present, Beck sold approximately 2,400 construction pieces. Because sales data from 1972 to 1996 (when the company was Case Power & Equipment) is unavailable, that figure likely represents only approximately half of his lifetime sales. His most active years coincided with the industry’s peak from the 1970s through the 1990s, when demand for backhoes was widespread and Beck worked closely with the company’s largest customers.
Beck also was well known for his work with governmental and township accounts, a sector in which he excelled by building long-standing, trust-based relationships. His ability to understand institutional needs and provide consistent, reliable guidance helped strengthen both
Eagle Power and the Case brand across the region.
Bridget McDonald, vice president of Eagle Power, said that beyond just sales figures and titles, Beck’s lasting impact lies in his character.
“He’s family,” she said. “Employees love him. Customers love him. We all love him. Customers still come in almost every day asking for him and everyone will miss him.”
Beck’s straightforward, honest approach to sales throughout his career played a major role in why people have continued to seek him out.
“He’s honest to a fault — but in a very good way,” Matt McDonald said, recalling a story shared by a customer of 42 years. Early
in that customer’s career, Beck refused to sell him a machine, telling him he wasn’t ready. Though it cost Beck a sale at the time, the decision helped build a relationship that endured for decades. The customer, McDonald said, still recounts the story with gratitude.
That same relationship-first philosophy extended beyond business transactions. Beck was known for his personal care and respectful presence in customers’ lives, including visiting homes when appropriate and offering help without being asked. Colleagues said this quiet attentiveness enhanced Eagle Power’s reputation and reinforced customer loyalty. During his retirement party, Beck circulated through the room, greeting friends, coworkers and former clients. When asked what kept him going all these years, he said his philosophy was simple: “Find something you really like and make it a job. I never had a day where I got out of bed and said, ‘I don’t want to go to work.’”
Now officially retired at the age of 83, Beck looks forward to visiting his brother and spending time with his nowmarried children in Florida, as well as enjoying quiet days at a cabin in the Endless Mountains near I-81 in northeastern Pennsylvania — all important things earned after an incredible, long successful career that few enjoy — and he did every day.

As demands in the utility, rail, and construction sectors continue to shift, many contractors are looking for equipment that can adapt to varied and changing tasks. Few machines embody this development as clearly as the HUDDIG, a multifunctional excavator loader that has played a role in reshaping how work is carried out in complex, challenging environments, according to the company.
A defining characteristic of the HUDDIG is its versatility, the company added.
“Operators often describe how a single machine can replace several traditional units by simply changing attachments,” HUDDIG said. “This allows crews to move seamlessly between excavation, lifting, working at height or specialized tasks like cable plowing — without bringing multiple machines to the site. For many businesses, this flexibility simplifies planning and massively increases total productive hours.”
Another frequent talking point is mobility. While many specialized machines require trailering between job sites, a HUDDIG can legally travel on public roads at more than 26 mph. This reduces downtime and supports more efficient transitions between assignments, especially in operations with many short-duration jobs, according to HUDDIG. Terrain performance also is a strong differentiator.
“With articulated steering, a powerful driveline, and stable off-road handling, the HUDDIG is designed to operate in places where other machines struggle,” the company said. “Users often report that this capability allows them to accept work they previously would have declined due to difficult access.”
The machine’s precision handling, refined
through more than 60 years of hydraulic development, is another factor operators consistently highlight, according to HUDDIG. Responsive control reduces fatigue and increases accuracy — benefits that accumulate over long shifts and complex tasks.
From an economic perspective, the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) is a critical topic surrounding multifunctional machines, according to HUDDIG.
“While the upfront investment of a HUDDIG may be higher than for single-purpose equipment, many contractors find that higher utilization rates, reduced need for additional machines and lower transport costs contribute positively to long-term financial performance,” the company said.
Durability and strong resale value also play a role in many purchasing decisions.
“HUDDIG machines are known to retain value well, often passing through several owners during their lifetime — a point that matters when fleets are upgraded or expanded,” the company said.
“As a machine operator, you are both the heart and the mind behind everything the machine does — no matter what brand you’re running,” the company added. “Having a comfortable, safe, and well-designed working environment is essential for performing your job as effectively and safely as possible.”
The cab of a HUDDIG is specifically developed based on input from experienced operators, according to the company. Through customers’ real-world insights and feedback, HUDDIG has integrated improvements into the design of the machine.
“As a result, every feature and piece of equipment in the cab is built to provide the best possible operator experience,” said the company. “In an industry where efficiency, adaptability and reliability are becoming more critical each year, the HUDDIG stands out as a machine built not just for individual tasks, but for the broader demands of modern field work. Its combination of capability, flexibility and robust engineering continues to attract operators and companies looking to strengthen both day-to-day operations and longterm profitability.”

Realistic Scale Models
The Washington Commanders and HKS unveiled the first renderings of the team’s new venue in Washington, D.C.
According to project architect HKS, the roofed stadium will be a dynamic, year-round destination for sports, entertainment and community engagement, integrating sustainable design practices and reimagining the fan experience through immersive spaces.
The Commanders organization named HKS as architect of the new D.C. stadium in November 2025. There has been no announcement of a build contractor as of January 2026, and the contractors for demolition of the original RFK Stadium are Gilbane and Smoot Construction.
“We are proud to share the first visuals of our future stadium, a defining milestone in the next phase of the development process,” said Mark Clouse, president of the Commanders, in a joint press release. “This moment underscores the strength of our partnership with HKS, whose thoughtful, forward-looking approach has helped us shape a concept that is worthy of its extraor-
dinary site along DC’s Monumental Axis and truly embodies the spirit and pride of the District.”
“HKS is honored to work on one of the world’s most extraordinary sports and entertainment sites, and this project calls for an equally extraordinary response,” said Mark Williams, HKS global venues director, in the same release. “Every design decision is
guided by the significance of place – shaped by its local, regional and national history and generations of memories rooted in RFK Stadium.”
Located on the existing RFK Stadium site, the project is set to expand the existing waterfront and enhance the D.C. recreational network.
HKS also was the architect for So-Fi sta-
dium in Los Angeles, U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis and AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
According to previous reporting from CEG, the new stadium will be surrounded by retail, housing and park space and will be fully enclosed with at least 65,000 seats. The development is funded primarily by the Commanders, who will put up $2.7 billion with $1 billion coming from D.C. taxpayers.
City officials expect to create 5,000 to 6,000 housing units — 30 percent of which they pledge would be affordable for people living below 30 to 60 percent of the area median income. Officials could not offer details about how they will finance the affordable housing, which may require additional investment.
While primarily a sports stadium, the roofed and climate-controlled structure will host all kind events, including concerts and festivals, according to HKS and the Commanders organization.
According to the HKS release, construction is expected to start in spring 2027, with full completion slated for 2030.
The AED Foundation announced it has surpassed $10 million in pledges for its Vision Fundraising Campaign, a bold, industry-wide initiative launched in 2020 to address the technician shortage and strengthen the long-term future of the equipment distribution industry.
Originally introduced with a goal of $5 million, Vision quickly gained traction across the industry. Momentum accelerated when Tim Watters, AED Foundation chairman at the time, challenged dealers, manufacturers and service providers to think bigger and rally behind a new $10 million target — a goal the industry has now achieved.
Vision reflects the AED Foundation’s commitment to building a sustainable pipeline of skilled talent by connecting students, schools and technical programs with AED members. Through strategic collaboration, career pathways events, student field trips and industry roundtables, students gain first-hand exposure to equipment careers, meet industry professionals and explore a wide range of opportunities, ensuring the next generation is prepared and inspired to join the workforce.
To date, the Vision campaign has achieved significant progress toward its goals, including:
• 103 accredited college programs;
• 136 recognized high school programs;
• 6,791 AED Foundation–certified technicians; and
• $10.1 million in pledges.
“These results show what is possible when an industry comes together,” said Diane Benck, former AED Foundation chairwoman and president of West Side Tractor. “While surpassing $10 million is a major achievement, the work is far from finished. We still have a goal of adding 10,000 skilled technicians to the industry, and we will continue building pathways to meaningful careers.”
Brian P. McGuire, president of the AED Foundation, emphasized the critical role of industry in reaching this level of support and the importance of sustaining that momentum.
“This success would not be possible without the commitment of AED dealers, manufacturers and service provider partners who believe in Vision and have invested in its growth,” McGuire said. “The workforce shortage remains one of the most pressing challenges facing our industry, and continued support is essential. Every contribution helps us expand programs, reach more students, and deliver the skilled technicians our members need today and in the future.”
Nicholas Testa, department chair of Applied Career & Digital Technologies of SUNY Cobleskill, AED Foundation Accredited College, added: “Being part of the Vision program has been transformative for our students and our program. We’ve seen tremendous growth in enrollment and student engagement as more young people discover career opportunities in the equipment industry. The support from AED members has been invaluable, and we’re excited to continue building a strong pipeline of skilled technicians for the future.”
Ron Barlet, 2026 AED Foundation chairman and president/CEO of Bejac Corp., reflected on the campaign’s progress and future opportunity.
“Thanks to the leadership of our dealer, manufacturer and service provider partners, Vision has achieved important progress,” he said. “But the workforce shortage continues. We must keep investing in technical education to grow our next generation of skilled technicians, and I encourage everyone to join us in this vital work.”
These achievements reflect meaningful progress toward Vision’s long-term benchmarks, which include supporting a minimum of 100 accredited college programs and 150 recognized high school programs,
growing to 120 colleges and 200 high schools by 2027. By meeting these targets, Vision is projected to help deliver an estimated 10,000 additional skilled technicians and 5,000 AED Foundation certified technicians to the workforce, ensuring the industry’s ongoing vitality.
To support this growth, the AED Foundation has expanded its staff with dedicated professionals focused on executing Vision’s goals and working directly with dealers, manufacturers, service providers and educators. This hands-on approach ensures strong local partnerships and alignment between educational programs and real-world workforce needs.
By pledging support for the Vision Campaign, contributors are investing directly in the future of the equipment distribution industry, helping to inspire students, strengthen technical education and ensure the industry is prepared to meet evolving challenges.
As the Vision Campaign continues, the AED Foundation remains committed to expanding its impact, deepening partnerships and connecting the dots between students, schools and industry to build a stronger, more resilient workforce for generations to come.

The Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) gathered Jan. 19-21 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas, for its annual Summit/CONDEX.
The event was an opportunity for members to network, attend seminars, fundraise and see what’s new in the industry. CONDEX allowed equipment manufacturers the chance to show attendees the latest in equipment, technology and services.
Among the speakers at this year's event was Nikki R. Haley, former two-term governor of South Carolina. In 2010, at age 38, Haley was elected the 116th governor of South Carolina and reelected in 2014. She was the youngest governor in the country and first minority female governor in America. She is the only female governor in South Carolina history.
Other session speakers included Rod Bull, CEO of Komatsu; Katie Hays, director of government affairs of Caterpillar; John Kacsits, acting chief operating officer of Groff Tractor & Equipment; Andrew Ryan, president of LiuGong North America; Scott Young, president/head of region of Volvo CE; Alex Woods, president of Kubota Tractor Corp.; and many more. In total, there were approximately 45 educational seminars during the three-day event.

Volvo CE closed 2025 with strong momentum, delivering growth across both machines and services with order intake rising by 18 percent in Q4. The results further demonstrate the company’s continued transformation toward becoming a total solutions provider.
During the last quarter, the total machine market grew compared to the prior year. Europe, South America, Africa and Oceania, China and North America grew while Asia contracted.
In Q4 2025, net sales decreased by 16 percent to $2.11 billion, of which net sales of machines increased by 13 percent and service sales by 8 percent. Both adjusted and reported operating income amounted to $293.45 million, corresponding to an operating margin of 13.9 percent.
$1.22 billion, corresponding to an adjusted operating margin of 13.3 percent.
to gain traction. We enter the new year with solid momentum and a clear focus on driving the industry’s transformation forward.”
In Q4, Volvo CE confirmed Eskilstuna, Sweden, as the location for its new crawler excavator assembly plant serving European markets. The 98,4000-sq.-ft. facility will strengthen Volvo CE’s position in the key excavator segment by increasing capacity and flexibility to meet growing regional demand.
Volvo CE continued the rollout of its new range of electric models, with the first L120 electric wheel loaders delivered to customers in selected European and Asian markets.
The total market in Europe continued to grow in Q4, with support from major markets like Germany, United Kingdom and France, on the back of a more positive business outlook in general. The North American market grew slightly in Q4 as the United States economy had a development that was better than expectations in the second half of 2025.
Market growth in South America was driven by a rebound in Chile, Argentina and Colombia. The Chinese market continued to grow, though at a slower pace, supported by governmental policies to stimulate the real estate sector and investments in farmland transformation. These mainly drive demand for smaller machines.
Compared with Q4 2024, a positive product and market mix and an improved service business were partly offset by lower volumes and increased United States tariff costs. Currency movements had a negative impact of $73.73 million. For the full year 2025, net sales amounted to $9.22 billion. Adjusted operating income amounted to
In the quarter, Volvo CE maintained strong performance and stability despite uncertain market conditions.
“This has been a positive quarter, driven by increased sales of recently launched products and higher revenue from our services business,” said Melker Jernberg, head of Volvo CE. “Customer response to our new equipment has been strong across key markets, while our solutions offerings continue
In December, Volvo CE participated in the ExCon 2025 construction equipment show in India, where the company showcased a portfolio of products and services aimed at supporting the next phase of growth in construction, mining and material handling.
Following the European Commission’s approval of Volvo CE’s planned acquisition of Swecon, the transaction is now in its final stages. Closing of the previously announced acquisition is expected on January 31, 2026.
Asia, excluding China, registered a modest growth, despite a decline in Japan. There was continued growth in Indonesia, driven by investments in infrastructure and food estate projects and a stable mining industry, as well as growth in Southeast Asia. The markets in Middle East, Australia and Turkey grew, while India was down, mainly for large machines.

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced on Jan. 21, 2026, that it will invest nearly $53 million in 30 rail freight improvement projects that will enhance freight mobility while creating and sustaining an estimated 450 jobs across Pennsylvania.
These investments — funded through the Rail Transportation Assistance Program (RTAP) and the Rail Freight Assistance Program (RFAP) — builds on the current progress to improve the infrastructure that connects Pennsylvania businesses and communities and grow Pennsylvania’s economy. Pennsylvania is the only state with a dedicated rail freight grant program in the country, and the Shapiro administration has invested over $150 million in the commonwealth’s rail freight network since taking office in 2023.
“Pennsylvania’s rail freight network supports family sustaining jobs and connects Pennsylvania communities to the global economy while bolstering local economic development,” said PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll. “These investments to expand and improve the network will create opportunities for generations of Pennsylvanians to come.”

New York State Department of Transportation Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez announced the completion of a $3.4 million bridge replacement project along State Route 250 (North Main Street) in the village of Fairport, Monroe County. State Route 250 is the main corridor through this historic canal village, which is a popular destination for recreational boaters and visitors to its many specialty shops, events and festivals.
“With dozens of thriving Main Street businesses plus active residents who love
the charm and ease of their village lifestyle, Fairport is a jewel of the Finger Lakes region,” said Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “This bridge replacement project along State Route 250 in the heart of this picturesque village has paved the way for a safer and more vibrant community and provided protection for the Thomas Creek watershed and wetlands. I am thrilled that this project will continue to foster connections for residents and visitors alike.”
The project replaced the existing struc-
ture, which was built in 1934 and carries State Route 250 over Thomas Creek and through the center of Fairport Village, with 23 four-sided, pre-stressed concrete slabs and a new concrete deck. New steel railing was installed on the west side of the bridge and a water main that had run under the structure was replaced with a new 10 in. waterline and relocated along the west edge. As part of the project, new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant sidewalks and curb ramps were also installed on both sides of the roadway, with the new sidewalks
measuring 8 ft. 10 in. and 10 ft. 6 in. wide.
The project took place simultaneously with the Village’s transformative Main Street Streetscape Project, which included new sidewalks, signage, lighting and trees. Throughout construction, a pedestrian walkway remained open to connect both ends of the roadway and provide access to the village’s many businesses.
Thomas Creek flows west through the village and passes under a 104-year-old building on the east side of North Main Street.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike (PA Turnpike) began one of its most complex projects to date, the total reconstruction and widening at Milepost 320324, a four-mile stretch in Tredyffrin Township, Chester County.
“For more than 85 years, customers have relied on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to get safely to their destinations,” said Brad Heigel, the PA Turnpike’s chief engineer. “This project enhances roadway safety, improves customer experience and demonstrates our commitment to maintaining a reliable transit corridor across the Commonwealth.”
Started in 1999, the PA Turnpike’s Total Reconstruction Initiative rebuilds the road from the ground up, adds an additional travel lane in each direction and increases shoulder and median width to support safety, reduce traffic queuing and enhance emergency responder access. To date, 174 mi. of PA Turnpike mainline (the portion stretching from Ohio to New Jersey) have undergone total reconstruction.
Starting the week of Jan. 19, 2026, crews began removing trees along the
Turnpike’s right of way and relocating utilities. Construction begins spring 2026. In the early phase of total reconstruction, traffic shifts inward to the median, allowing work on outer lanes. This involves setting up barriers and signage for safety.
Crews demolish and rebuild outer lanes, including roadbeds and bridges, while ensuring minimal ecological impact and maintaining traffic flow. Safety for workers and drivers is a priority, requiring constant monitoring and adjustments.
The approximately $338 million project, fully funded by toll dollars as part of the PA Turnpike Commission’s 10-year capital plan, was awarded to H&K Group Inc. in December 2025. In addition to roadway widening, the project also replaces three mainline bridges over local roads, lengthens culverts and improves stormwater draining throughout the area. The project is anticipated to be complete in summer 2031.

Gov. Kathy Hochul celebrated the groundbreaking of Micron’s first semiconductor fabrication facility on Jan. 16, 2026 in Clay, Onondaga County — a culminating milestone for the largest private investment in New York history and a transformational moment for the state’s economy. The Governor was joined by Micron executives, federal, state and local officials and community leaders at the project site, which, with four fabs planned, will be the largest semiconductor facility in the United States. The more than $100 billion project will anchor a new advanced manufacturing hub in Central New York, creating tens of thousands of jobs — both directly and through the broader supply chain — while strengthening America’s semiconductor manufacturing capacity and national security.
“Micron breaking ground in Central New York marks the transition from promise to progress on one of the most significant economic development projects in our state’s history,” said Gov. Hochul. “More than just constructing a state-of-the-art chip fab and the nation’s largest clean room — we are building opportunity for generations of New Yorkers.
“This historic investment by Micron and my Administration cements central New York as a global leader in advanced manufacturing,
creates tens of thousands of good-paying jobs,” she added. “This project proves that when government and the private sector work together, we can bring critical industries back to the United States, support cutting-edge advanced manufacturing, rebuild the middle class and put upstate’s economy on a permanent upswing.”
The groundbreaking represents years of planning, collaboration and community input, and signals the latest in a new era of economic growth for Central New York, according to the office of Hochul.
New York State continues to partner with Micron to ensure the project delivers lasting benefits for workers, families and small businesses, while advancing environmental sustainability, workforce development and community engagement. The state’s commitment includes investments in site readiness, infrastructure and workforce pipelines designed to prepare New Yorkers for careers in cuttingedge semiconductor manufacturing.
Micron’s more than $100 billion commitment is the largest private investment in New York’s history and will create the largest cleanroom in the United States.
By the end of the decade, one in four U.S.made chips will be produced within 350 miles of upstate New York — more than any other region in the nation. Micron’s investment is
generating a ripple effect across the regional and statewide economies, spurring growth in construction, advanced manufacturing, research and development and workforce training.
The project also is driving significant investments in infrastructure, housing and education to ensure local communities benefit fully from this unprecedented opportunity.
This includes:
• 9,000 new jobs at all levels of education on site;
• up to 50,000 new permanent jobs in the region over next 30 years;
• tens of thousands of construction jobs over the next 20 years to build the campus;
• an additional $9.5 billion in regional economic output annually starting in 2027, ramping up to over $16 billion annually by 2041;
• an additional $6.8 billion in annual disposable income for New Yorkers over the next thirty years; and
• nearly $20 billion in revenue for state and local governments to improve schools and other public services.
After decades of stagnation, the central New York population is expected to increase due to strategic efforts to foster high-growth industries. Micron’s project is expected to attract upwards of 84,000 people to New York — and at least 74,000 them to the central New
York Region. To handle this growth, planned investments include:
• long-term infrastructure and energy investments to support regional growth, including expanded water, wastewater, gas, electric, nuclear generation and transportation systems;
• the $500 million Green CHIPS Community Investment Fund developed to ensure inclusive economic growth, workforce development and quality of life enhancements for Central New York; and
• the flagship location of the state’s new $200 million ON-RAMP workforce development program on the South Side of Syracuse. Gov. Hochul’s housing policies include multiple initiatives and funding programs at the state level, and local policies are being developed to stimulate the regional market to increase the supply of affordable, high quality housing choices to meet high demand.
Gov. Hochul is executing a strategic vision to leverage the success of Micron’s investment to cement New York’s role as the nation’s primary hub for semiconductor innovation and manufacturing. By integrating research infrastructure with a growing supply chain ecosystem, the governor is ensuring that the momentum generated in central New York catalyzes a statewide economic transformation.

More and more people are discovering the benefits of tiltrotators.
One of the main advantages is that it makes digging more efficient and broadens the excavator’s range of applications. The tiltrotator transforms the excavator into a flexible tool carrier, reducing both the need for other machines and labor around the excavator. The result is increased profitability for the end customer.
Engcon is constantly working to improve its products. As a further step forward in improving for the end customer, engcon is now launching an improved version of the popular EC204 with the same functions and features as engcon’s larger models.
The updated model of the EC204, which is suitable for excavators in the 2-4 ton size class, features engcon’s EC-Oil quick coupler system both above and below the tiltrotator, which is unique on smaller machines. This makes it easier to change attachments or to disconnect the tiltrotator if necessary. It offers a 45-degree tilt angle, infinite rotation and the ability to easily mount different attachments, contributing to versatility and flexibility in excavation work.
The model also is prepared for EPS,
engcon’s innovative positioning system.
“I’m very proud that we can deliver our EC-Oil automatic quick coupler system both above and below the tiltrotator for the 2 to 4 ton class, this really makes the excavator the ultimate tool carrier,” said Martin Engström, product manager of engcon. “Our customers can rely on engcon to always deliver state-of-the-art technology that improves their profitability.”
The updated model of EC204 is available on the market from January 2025.
EC-Oil is an attachment consisting of hydraulic blocks with hydraulic, electrical and central lubrication connections. When EC-Oil is mounted on the Q-Safe quick coupler, the combination provides fully automatic connection of hydraulic attachments such as tiltrotators, grapples, sweepers, ground vibrators, etc. The operator does not have to leave the driver’s seat to connect the attachments, which increases the safety of the excavator operator.
The updated model of the EC204, which is suitable for excavators in the 2-4 ton size class, features engcon’s EC-Oil quick coupler system both above and below the tiltrotator, which is unique on smaller machines.

Cedarapids introduced the newest addition to its portfolio of wheeled plants, the CRH5064 Cedarapids portable HSI impactor plant.
This plant is engineered to deliver productivity, versatility and ease of transport for today’s demanding crushing operations, according to Cedarapids.
The CRH5064 is an ideal for customers seeking high productivity, low operating costs and versatility. Its design reduces maintenance, improves safety and delivers consistent performance across diverse applications, according to Cedarapids.
At the core of the CRH5064 is the TI5064 horizontal shaft impactor, delivering 400 hp. Engineered for today’s high-tonnage demands, this crusher combines enhanced production with advanced safety features, according to Cedarapids.
The TI5064 has a high-inertia 4-bar rotor, monoblock primary curtain with
replaceable tips, hydraulic tramp iron relief and hydraulic-assisted apron adjustments. These features maximize output while protecting the machine and operators. Prototype testing demonstrated 600–700 tons per hour through the plant when processing 30-in. minus shot rock limestone, according to Cedarapids.
With a maximum feed size up to 30 in., the TI5064 is a solution for large-scale aggregate production, recycling and demolition applications.
Key enhancements incorporated into the TI5064 design are the hydraulic overload protection on both aprons, hydraulic assist apron adjustment and a hydraulically opened hood for ease of inspection and maintenance. An optional jib crane and quick-release wedge lock system make changing blow bars easier. With proper site planning, no crane rental should be required for changing blow bars if equipped with the optional jib crane
mounted to the structure of the crusher.
Another highlight to the CRH5064 plant is the new 60 in. by 20 ft. Cedarapids Advantage series feeder, which delivers production and long service life across the most rigorous applications, according to Cedarapids. Its design is 8 in. wider than the largest previous model.
Equipped with a large stroke, it achieves high throughput tonnage and superior material separation at the grizzly by removing fines early, feeding only what needs to be crushed to the crusher, ensuring optimal performance from the TI5064 HSI.
This combination ensures high production, low maintenance and increased throughput, optimizing operation and is ideal for a wide range of rigorous crushing applications; aggregate production as a primary crushing plant for quarry operations, or recycling and demolition, providing efficient handling of RAP and con-
crete recycling, according to Cedarapids. For added flexibility, a variety of options can be integrated, such as feed hopper extensions, hydraulic feeder lift option, blow bar jib crane, self-cleaning magnet, under-crusher pan feeder, electrical controls, and grizzly fines cross conveyors to suit your application. Designed with mobility in mind, the plant is configurable with various axle options, including standard quad, Washington spread quad or 3+1.
A new feature is the removable feed hopper module for increased transportability in challenging regions. Future secondary crusher configurations are in process to feature a TSV screen feed version or a belt feed version. Both secondary versions of the plant will replace the VGF section of the plant, typically of primary crushing operations.

operating in such a congested area.
“We are thrilled to be aligned with the EPA on a vision for a cleaner Gowanus Canal, and we are committed to working on an accelerated schedule,” he said. “I am thankful for the dedicated team at DEP’s Bureau of Engineering, Design and Construction for their expertise and creativity that will make this possible.”
In the 1860s, a tidal creek was converted into a nearly 2-mi.-long canal for industrial use. Oil refineries, chemical plants and manufactured gas plants (MGP) dumped their waste into the Gowanus Canal. Coal tar is one of the byproducts from the plants that remain where the former MGP plants oper-
ated. Sewer overflows added to the pollution.
Planners and the construction team are building the two tanks as an important step in the cleanup process. In addition to building the new tanks, workers will construct facilities on top of the tanks to house the mechanical and electrical equipment necessary for operation of the system.
Kevin Clarke, who has managed multiple projects for DEP over the past 28 years, has been orchestrating the Gowanus Canal tank program. Work on the canal has been proceeding rapidly on the two sites: Owls Head and Red Hook. Workers have removed a gigantic amount of material to create the
room for the Red Hook tank — approximately137,000 cu. yds. in all.
The contractor for the Red Hook Tank is Gowanus Canal Constructors (a JV of Yonkers Contracting and John P. Picone Construction) and the key subcontractor for installation of the support of excavation system is Keller North America. The contractors for the Owls Head Tank are Posillico and Nicholson. This team is installing the support of excavation system. Two big components in the support of excavation (SOE) construction are a traditional clamshell style excavator and a hydro mill trench cutter. Workers used a Liebherr

American Intelligence & Power Corp., Caterpillar Inc. and Boyd CAT announced a strategic alliance and the execution of a purchase agreement supporting the development of AIP Corp’s flagship site, the Monarch Compute Campus, a large-scale, multi-phase power generation and infrastructure platform designed to deliver long-term power solutions to hyperscale and enterprise data center customers.
Under the purchase agreement, AIP Corp has ordered 2 GW (Gigawatts) of fast-response natural gas generator sets to support the initial phase of Monarch, with deliveries scheduled from September 2026 through August 2027. The fast-response generation equipment will be augmented with battery energy storage systems designed to handle the extreme load swings of AI data centers, according to the company.
The Caterpillar equipment and battery systems are expected to be commissioned and ready to deliver power within months of equipment delivery, supporting Monarch’s accelerated time-to-market strategy to meet rapidly growing power demand from data centers. This 2-GW order supports Monarch’s initial phases, with additional phased expansion planned over time.
“This strategic alliance reflects a shared commitment to delivering reliable, scalable and capital-efficient power solutions on an accelerated timeline,” said Daniel J. Shapiro, CEO of American Intelligence & Power Corp. “Our design is purpose-built for AI data center operations, combining fast-response natural gas generation with battery energy storage to manage rapid load variability and deliver consistent power quality at scale. By leveraging our existing microgrid designation from the state of West Virginia, we can bring new capacity online quickly while supporting long-term grid reliability and resilience, without increasing rates or adding costs for existing utility customers.”
“This collaboration reflects Caterpillar and our dealers’ continued focus on supporting customers that require primary, continuous-duty power at scale through our broad energy solutions portfolio,” said Melissa Busen, senior vice president of electric power, Caterpillar. “Projects like Monarch demonstrate how Caterpillar’s natural gas generation platforms are being deployed as core infrastructure for data centers and other power intensive applications where reliability, speed of deployment and life cycle performance are critical.”
“Our customers depend on us for reliability, responsiveness and deep technical support, and this project is a powerful example of that commitment,” said Andrew Boyd, pres-
ident and CEO of Boyd CAT. “The scale of the Monarch project demands precision and performance, and Boyd CAT is ready to deliver both as AIP Corp brings new generation capacity online.”
The Caterpillar G3516 fast-response natural gas generator sets are well-suited for behind-the-meter data center applications due to rapid start capability, load-following performance and high reliability in continuous-duty operation, according to Caterpillar.
The G3516 platform can ramp from zero to full load in approximately seven seconds, supporting AI-driven workloads characterized by rapid load fluctuations and stringent power quality requirements. The gensets will operate on natural gas and incorporate advanced emissions controls, including selective catalytic reduction (SCR), to support ultra-low emissions performance and compliance with all relevant air permitting requirements.
Monarch will use advanced monitoring and control systems to support high availability, operational resilience and predictable lifecycle performance. Designed as a fully selfsupplied, behind-the-meter power platform, Monarch generates power onsite and does not require incremental utility transmission or distribution infrastructure to serve its load, according to the company.
With a target of 8 GW of planned generation capacity and an existing West Virginia microgrid designation, Monarch is designed to not increase rates or add costs for existing utility customers and will support long-term grid reliability and resilience.
In parallel with the purchase agreement, AIP Corp and Caterpillar have entered into a strategic alliance agreement establishing a streamlined framework for collaboration focused on equipment optimization, phased expansion planning, operations and maintenance strategy and long-term life cycle performance, including service readiness and parts support planning. The alliance also includes vendor equipment financing through Caterpillar Financial, subject to customary terms and conditions, and aligned with equipment delivery phasing to support efficient project execution.

waiver that industry groups favored.
Lane Kimble, director of the Wisconsin Transportation Builders Association, said FHWA had used its waiver authority since 1983. The waiver exempted a wide range of materials used on federal aid highway projects, including electronics, ITS hardware and electrical equipment. It also exempted other items, including signal boxes and pumps, from provisions mandating they be produced domestically.
“Manufactured construction products will need to be built in the United States and be made of at least 55 percent U.S.-made components,” said Kimble. “President Trump and the USDOT initially put the rule change on hold last year for review.”
ARTBA noted that removing the waiver, though well-intentioned, could cost the transportation construction industry $8.5 billion over the next decade.
Sean McMaster, FHWA administrator, told ARTBA members he wants to ensure Buy America requirements do not delay projects. But, McMaster told the association’s executive committee, waivers must be “limited, strategic and temporary.”
ARTBA announced the waiver phases out with federal aid projects obligated on or after
Oct. 1, 2025, for which final product assembly must take place in the United States.
“The Q&A document does not detail new policies,” the association said in its announcement to members. It said the document “simply clarifies how FHWA intends to interpret and implement the revised Buy America standards in this area.”
Those revisions now include product classification and transition timelines, said the group, adding it is in regular contact with FHWA on the issue.
In early 2024, FHWA released a proposal to roll back the waiver exempting manufactured products from Buy-America rules on federal aid highway projects.
ARTBA reported then that FHWA called it a step toward boosting domestic manufacturing, bolstering critical supply chains and supporting creation of union jobs.
The agency solicited comments on the implications of its proposal for 60 days after
publication in the Federal Register.
“FHWA proposes requiring that domestic content of manufactured products exceeds 55 percent, as measured by the cost of their components,” said ARBTA. “In justifying the proposed change, the agency repeatedly cites domestic manufacturing as a policy priority for the White House and Congress.”
The agency’s plan was to pursue targeted waivers for specific manufactured products to minimize costs and delays.
ARTBA said the industry supported the waiver because it would be costly, and perhaps impossible, to ensure many materials were Buy America-compliant.
In a 2023 survey co-sponsored by ARTBA, two-thirds of contractors believed a change in the waiver would cause a major effect on their operations. These effects would require “significant additional time and costs to document and certify countless components within these items,” said the group.
ARTBA noted then that the IIJA maintained Buy America coverage for iron, steel and manufactured products while expanding it to construction materials.
“The law also requires periodic reviews of waivers like this one,” the association said in

explaining the rollback to members.
In its Q&A section explaining the changes to the Manufactured Products Final Rule, FHWA outlines updates to several materialspecific requirements.
It said the final rule clarifies what kinds of products are subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for steel and iron versus manufactured products.
For projects obligated on or after March 20, 2025, recipients of funds must classify products based on the definitions in the code. These definitions stand “regardless of any previous methods used to differentiate these two categories,” said the agency.
FHWA said the new manufactured products rules are “generally” the same as those under the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act.
“However, the application of FHWA’s Buy America requirements may differ from the application of BABA’s requirements,” it added.
For example, BABA applies only to infrastructure projects, said the transportation agency. That’s any work related to the construction, alteration, maintenance or repair of infrastructure regardless of whether it also is the primary purpose of the project.
“FHWA’s Buy America requirements apply to all projects funded with Title 23 funds, even those not generally considered to be infrastructure projects,” it said. “FHWA’s Buy America requirements also provide distinctions for certain manufactured products not included in the BABA requirements.”
The agency said Buy America rules do not apply to the non-iron or non-steel components of an iron or steel product.
Under the rule, a product can be classified as an iron or steel product even if it contains non-iron or non-steel components.
“In such a case, the Buy America requirements for steel and iron … apply to such products, not the requirements for manufactured products or construction materials.”
The agency also said the cost of the foreign iron or steel product is only the cost of the foreign iron or steel in the product.
If an iron or steel product contains noniron/steel components, recipients should use just the cost of the individual foreign iron or steel components.
For projects obligated between March 20, 2025, and Sept. 30, 2025, the waiver applies to manufactured products permanently incorporated in such projects.
“For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2025, all manufactured products permanently incorporated into the project must be manufactured in the United States.”
For projects obligated on or after Oct. 1, 2026, all manufactured products in the
The Buy America waiver exempted a laundry list of materials on federal aid highway projects. The materials included electronics, ITS hardware and electrical equipment, signal boxes and pumps.
project must meet the final assembly requirement.
Plus, the cost of components that are mined, produced or manufactured in the United States must be greater than 55 percent of the total cost of all components.
Under the rule, specific requirements apply to precast concrete products, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and other electronic hardware systems products installed in the highway right-of-way
“For such precast concrete products, components that consist ‘predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both’ must meet FHWA’s requirements for iron and steel.”
ITS cabinets or other enclosures that consist “predominantly of iron or steel or a combination” must meet requirements for steel and iron.
“These iron or steel component requirements apply to all projects, regardless of when they are obligated,” said the agency. These specified manufactured products also must meet the applicable requirements for manufactured products.
On or after Oct. 1, 2026, the cost of predominantly iron or steel components will count toward the 55 percent requirement, according to FHWA.
Kits must be acquired from one manufacturer or supplier as separate components from those assembled or installed to form a
single product at the work site.
The rule states kits should be distinguished from systems consisting of interconnected individual components that together achieve a broad function.
“If a kit meets the definition of manufactured product … it should be classified as a single manufactured product,” according to the update. “Individual components of the kit should not be classified as separate manufactured products, even though they may be brought to the work site separately.”
FHWA said kits classified as manufactured products must meet Buy America requirements that apply to manufactured products.
“The manufacturer … should be considered the entity that performs the final manufacturing process that produces the kit”
The rule stipulates that this manufacturer is not the contractor that manufactures or assembles the on the work site.
“To comply with the final assembly requirement, the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components must be in the United States.”
However, a kit may be classified as a manufactured product even if its components are brought to the site separately or at different times.
In applying the 55 percent requirement, the rule refers to “transportation costs to the
place of incorporation into the manufactured product.’”
However, the place of incorporation for kits should be considered the place at which the manufacturer of the kit brings together the kit’s components.
The rule states, “it should not be read to refer to the transportation cost of the kit’s components to the work site.”
Excluded materials are cement and cementitious materials, aggregates or aggregate binding agents or additives, according to the update.
“Excluded materials are not subject to any applicable Buy America standard … if delivered to the project site on their own or in combination with other excluded materials.”
Excluded material mixtures delivered to the work site without final for incorporation must not be classified as manufactured products.
Also, these mixtures are not subject to FHWA’s Buy America requirements for manufactured products, according to the agency.
For mixtures combined with a nonexcluded material and processed into a specific shape or form, the result is to be classified the same as any other material.
This stands “regardless of the fact that one of its components is an excluded material,” according to FHWA. CEG

CLEANUP from page 66
8130 or Bauer Mc-96 with a clamshell excavator attachment to dig out the upper 40 ft. or so of each SOE panel.
Much of this material is fill, so unknown pieces are sometimes unearthed at this stage, including rubble and other materials not completely removed before. Slurry is added to the open panel excavation to keep the panel open until the excavation is complete.
The star of the excavation at the Red Hook site was the Bauer hydro mill. Two hydro mills were attached to a Bauer MC-128 or MC-96 crawler crane. This huge machine uses massive cutting wheels to chew through rock and soil. A mud pump sucks out the slurry, which carries the excavated material to the surface where it is run through a separation plant to remove the excavated material from the slurry.
Once the excavation is complete, at approximately 160 ft. deep, the panel is filled with concrete in a tremie fashion from the bottom up. The slurry is displaced and removed as the tremie pour progresses. It also is important to note that the upper 75 of the SOE panels are reinforced with rebar cages — those cages were placed using a Liebherr 1200 crane. These individual panels eventually form a complete perimeter and serve as the support of excavation so the mass excavation can begin on the inside and build the subsurface tank.
Each slurry panel was designed to be approximately 160 ft. deep. Construction teams are now building the concrete floor and wall slabs to form the tank structure at the Red Hook site. Work on the slurry wall at the Owls Head tank site was completed in October.
In addition to the hydro mills, the projects will be using large excavators and earthmovers, drilling equipment for installation of piles and rigid inclusion, and cranes for support work, including lowering and raising materials in and out of the tank.
Clarke and his team are coordinating a complicated site.
“During the SOE phase we had some 50-70 concrete trucks arriving per day and a peak of nearly 90 trucks during the excavation,” he said. “This is an immense project in highly urbanized Brooklyn. In addition, we have a lot of development going on around us; some of it is in the ground, some is coming out of the ground and other work is in vertical construction. It has required us to stay in constant communication with contractors on other projects.”
Once the subsurface tanks are completed, the final steps of the project call for construction teams to build four acres of public open space atop the tanks, two acres at each site, with waterfront esplanades and views of the remediated canal.
The monumental project will take nearly 10 years to complete.
“When it is finished, kids will probably be playing in the park and have no idea about all the work that is going on below them to make this park and the adjacent Canal such a delight,” said Aggarwala. “This is an engineering marvel. It is like constructing a six-story building upside down. The construction team is doing an amazing job in a difficult, crowded environment.” CEG

DEVELON has opened a new construction equipment training, testing and education facility called the HD Construction Equipment (HDCE) Real Operation Center (ROC) in Tucson, Ariz.
The facility replaces the previous testing and training center. It is adjacent to the Tucson International Airport and provides a convenient site to hold training sessions on advanced technologies, test the lineup of current and new DEVELON heavy and compact equipment and host dealer and customer events.
“For the past 15 years at our former facility, we hosted thousands of construction equipment owners, operators and dealer representatives for hands-on training, product testing and special events,” said Morgan Stallings, senior director of dealer development and marketing of DEVELON. “The new facility will build upon its success and support our North American dealers. It will have acres of open operation area where visitors can come year-round to see and feel what makes DEVELON machines different from other brands.”
experts who will highlight key machine differences, describe key features and demonstrate innovations like the transparent bucket and around view monitor (AVM) camera system.
DEVELON broke ground on the new facility in October 2024. While at the HDCE ROC, operators and sales teams will eventually be able to learn from experts in a classroom setting; a permanent building is planned for the site. As part of the planned building, there also will be service bays available for dealer training and maintenance purposes.
Visitors will get one-on-one time with DEVELON
“The training facility plays a key role in what we do,” said Armand Cencetti, vice president of sales of Best Line Equipment. “It helps our sales team get hands-on equipment experience and gives us a place to test machines and gather real data. And it lets us bring in customers to see and demo DEVELON equipment in person, building stronger, longstanding relationships along the way.”
