Brian Hayden, operator of Hayden Excavating and Welding in Wells, Maine, proved he was the best of the best after taking on three demanding challenges and eight other finalists at Caterpillar’s Global Operator Challenge, held during ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026.
Each test pushed finalists to their limits, demanding technical mastery and total machine control. In the end, Hayden delivered when it mattered most.
The stakes were significant. The winner receives a $10,000 prize — either cash or a first-class trip for two to any Caterpillar facility worldwide (depending on local laws) — along with global recognition.
Contestants competed in three events designed to test skill, precision and versatility.
Ace of Loaders Challenge: Operators tested speed and control by loading a truck, switching to forks, transporting and placing a pipe. Smooth tool transitions were key to winning this event.
Street Gambler Challenge: This urban-inspired challenge showcased the finesse and power of excavator operators as they tackled a series of precision tasks.
Centennial Push Challenge: This dozer challenge combined tire pushing, fine grading and pipe placement to honor a century of earthmoving. Blade control and precision were critical to success.
Hayden earned first place in the Street Gambler and Centennial Push challenges, while Gunter Dewit of Belgium won the Ace of Loaders challenge.
In addition to Hayden, whose Cat dealer sponsor was Milton CAT, eight operators from around the world competed in the finals:
• Brock Leclerc, Quattro Constructors, Canada — Dealer sponsor: Finning Canada
• André Nowak, Nowomak, Brazil — Dealer sponsor: PESA
• Norio Miyajima, Tanaka Sangyo (TSK), Japan — Dealer sponsor: NCD Japan
• Shane Poole, Diamond Excavators, Australia — Dealer sponsor: Hastings Deering Australia
• Tim Lamb, Daracon Group, Australia — Dealer spon-

sor: WesTrac NSW
• Gunter Dewit, Grondwerken JP Dewit En Zoon, Belgium — Dealer sponsor: Bergerat Monnoyeur
• Nicolai Thomsen, Anlægsgartner Mikael Thomsen, Denmark — Dealer sponsor: Zeppelin Denmark
• Sebastian Behr, Reuen Tief- und Straßenbau GmbH, Germany — Dealer sponsor: Zeppelin GmbH
Hayden, 24, built his skills on the job while growing up in his family’s business, Hayden Excavating and Welding, which was founded in 1999. The company handles residential and smaller commercial projects primarily in southern Maine.
With the support of dealer Milton CAT, Hayden advanced through local qualifiers and semifinals to reach the global stage at Operator Stadium.
Winning two of the three individual challenges helped secure his title as Global Operator Challenge Champion.
“I’ve been operating equipment since before I could walk when I was in my dad’s lap in an operator’s cab,” Hayden told Construction Equipment Guide. “And then, ever since I was probably five years old, when I could reach the pedals by myself. I was off on my own after that.”
Hayden said he entered the competition almost on a whim.
“I got an e-mail from my local dealer, Milton CAT, saying the Global Operator Challenge was coming back around,” he said. “I figured I’d throw my hat in the ring and see how I could do at the local dealer level. I didn’t even think it would go anywhere. And here we are.”
His victory marks a milestone: Hayden is the first United States-based champion of the Cat Global Operator Challenge.
“It feels great to be able to win representing the United States,” he said.
Competing on a global stage in front of a crowd easily in the thousands brought its share of pressure, Hayden admitted.
“Oh, I could feel it — there was a lot of pressure,” he said. “But once I got in the machine and the door closed, it was just me and what I needed to do. I tried not to look at the crowd, not to think about anything else, and just focus on what I had to do to win.”
For Hayden, the victory is both personal and professional recognition.
“It’s a great honor and accomplishment to be recognized for what I’ve been doing my whole life,” he said. CEG

Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) celebrates Women in Construction (WIC) this March by highlighting three talented women who presented at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026 earlier this month.
One of the sessions hosted by ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026, known as the EmpowerHER Workshop, highlighted six women working in and advancing the construction field. Construction Equipment Guide spoke to three of them to share their successes, insights and advice to women in the field or looking to expand into the construction field.
Amy Henningfield, director of workforce development of Superior Construction
Henningfield, who began her career as an administrative assistant, now boasts more than 30 years of heavy civil construction experience and a director’s title with Superior Construction, a prominent fourth-generation family-owned and -operated heavy civil contractor based in Portage, Ind.
Along the way, she earned both her bachelor’s degree and MBA (in recent years), while building a career in one of the most demanding industries in the country.
Henningfield serves as an active committee and board member of several groups including Construction Advancement Foundation (CAF) Women in Construction, Indiana Constructor’s Inc.’s (ICI) Women in Roads, Northwest Indiana Influential Women Association (NWIIWA) and holds a steering committee role in Superior’s Women in Construction (SWiC). In recent years, Henningfield has been recognized as Mentor of the Year, named Outstanding Women in Construction and received a Women in Construction PACER (Pavement, Asphalt, Concrete, Equipment, Rental) Award.
Driven by a belief that “you can’t be what you don’t see,” coupled with a commitment to educate and encourage young women to enter the construction field, Henningfield also contributed to the development of the very first girls’ summer camp for ICI Women in Roads. Altogether, she strives to create opportunities for women within the construction field.
In the EmpowerHER Workshop, Henningfield focuses her message on the importance of ownership, not just opportunity.
“Confidence doesn’t come first — action does,” she said. “You build confidence by stepping into rooms before you feel fully ready. You build credibility by raising your hand. You build influence by delivering results consistently.”
“You don’t have to ‘fit’ into construction,” she added. “Construction is not an industry where you have to know everything before you start. It’s an industry where you grow by doing. Do not wait until you feel ready — because you never will be. Please take that step. This industry needs you.”
She urges women interested in the field to find mentors, network and explore local apprenticeship programs and career fairs. She emphasized the need for women in the industry and believes the industry offers massive opportunity, with the ability to lead and empower others.
“This industry needs more problem-solvers, leaders, builders, and innovators — and women bring that,” she said. “There is space here, and there is a real impact to be made here.”
Katie Kelleher, technical publications and careers manager of Construction Plant-Hire Association (CPA) and technical and development of KatieCranes
From the very start of her career in the construction industry, Kelleher has made a lasting impact and continues to break down stereotypical gender barriers. Beginning in 2014, she became the very first woman to join the Lifting Technician Apprenticeship program with Select Plant Hire/Laing O’Rourke, an international construction and engineering company based in Dartford, U.K., with no prior construction experience. Despite that, she found a passion for the field and continued her career the past 12 years with the company, initially operating cranes on major infrastructure projects and now leading training and safety initiatives.
When she’s not providing technical guidance or developing training programs, Kelleher actively shares industry insights on her podcast, blog and social channels while regularly speaking at major conferences, colleges, career fairs and more.
By sharing her career and experience as a woman in the construction field, Kelleher landed a spot on the Top 100 Women in Construction list, Construction News and the Women in Trade Association Powerlist. Additionally, the Earthmovers Magazine, Plant Planet and television series Impossible Engineering featured Kelleher and her accomplishments.
Kelleher’s advice to women is to “try something completely different.” She told Construction Equipment Guide, “There isn’t one mold. If you’re willing to learn and

From preparing meals for families to bringing smiles to children, TVH proudly supports hands-on volunteer efforts. Employees are given a paid volunteer day off to reinforce TVH’s belief that small actions add up to something big. Through TVH Cares, employees work together to build stronger communities and a brighter future.
“Being named a Most Valuable Supplier for the 11th year reinforces the importance of the strong partnerships built at MHEDA and our role in supporting the industry we serve,” said Simon Witdouck, president, Americas.

helping drive growth, stability and long-term success across the material handling industry.”
MVS Award winners have demonstrated an overall commitment to business excellence by documenting activity in the following areas:
• industry advocacy;

• business networking;
• continuing education; and
• business best practices.
“Earning MHEDA’s highest honor, the MVS Award, is a significant achievement that speaks directly to a company’s genuine dedication,” said Darin Boik, president of Advances Equipment Company and 2026 MHEDA chairman. “It is a clear testament to their commitment to professional excellence, their partners, and continually improving the value they bring to the entire material handling community.”

PIRTEK USA opened its 200th location in the United States, marking a significant milestone in the brand’s continued national expansion.
The achievement follows a recordbreaking 2025, when PIRTEK awarded 61 franchise units and opened 41 new locations, the strongest year of growth in company history. Reaching 200 locations so early in 2026 emphasizes the brand’s accelerating development pace and sustained demand for essential, B2Bfocused service franchises.
“This milestone represents so much more than a number,” said Kim Gubera, president and CEO of PIRTEK USA and PIRTEK Canada.
“Opening our 200th U.S. location reflects the real strength of our franchise system, the dedication of our franchisees and employees and the increasing demand for PIRTEK as the provider of essential services that keep businesses operating. We could not have reached 200 without the strong network that is our foundation.

Engineered for precision and maneuverability, the TS160-4 is designed to achieve a smooth, uniform asphalt mat and tighten joints during finish rolling. While already in global markets, this model now brings its capabilities to North American job sites.
“The TS160-4 is a welcomed addition to our lineup that fills a practical niche for our customers,” said Brad Belvin, manager of sales and marketing of Sakai America. “It provides a truly competitive alternative for contractors looking for a small static tire roller, an area where North American market choices have been relatively limited.”
“Our customers have come to expect market-leading reliability and performance when they see the SAKAI name,” said Wes Shepherd, vice president of operations of Sakai America. “The TS160-4 will deliver the same high level of quality our users have come to expect from our entire product line.”
This specialized asphalt roller is suitable for smaller paving jobs such as driveways, parking lots, light chip seal duty and municipal asphalt paving. It features a 51in. compaction width across seven tires and
is powered by a 21 hp Kubota diesel engine.
Built for straightforward operation and durability, the compactor uses a mechanical design that requires no DPF, DEF or ECM, paired with analog controls to ensure reliability on the job site and a long life with easy maintenance, according to Sakai.
To maintain a high-quality mat finish, it is equipped with “superflat” tires, a triple-filtered water system with all-metal spray nozzles and a 43.6-gal. water tank. For ease of use, the roller offers superior maneuverability via rear steering and visibility from a wide bench seat with ambidextrous FNR levers.
This model is built in Japan and is backed by Sakai’s 3-year or 3,000-hour warranty with United States-based parts and support in Georgia.

Technology continues to change the way contractors get work done. Smart BOMAG compaction and automation technologies are helping customers improve job site efficiency, achieve better compaction results, save time and increase safety.
During ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, BOMAG highlighted its range of technologies for customers. Plus, attendees were offered a glimpse of where roller technology is headed.
BOMAG offers 360-degree compaction technology, and throughout the exhibit, the asphalt rollers on display feature conventional, oscillation and directed/vectoring vibration. The BW 161 ADO-5 heavy tandem asphalt roller boasts BOMAG’s TanGO tangential oscillation, which uses an optimized oscillation amplitude that allows the drum to remain in constant contact with the mat. This technology is ideal for compacting joints, thin layers, bridges and near sensitive underground utilities or buildings. TanGO provides a gentle compaction
effect that minimizes the risk of aggregate crushing and does not create bow waves, even when working at higher speeds. The TanGO drum is positioned at the rear of the roller, offering the advantage of the front vibrating drum being used to compact thicker lifts and stiffer mix designs.
The displayed BW 191 AD-5 AM roller features BOMAG’s exclusive Asphalt Manager technology. Pioneered by BOMAG, Asphalt Manager controls compaction by adjusting vibration direction, rather than relying on constant operatorselected amplitude changes. The operator only chooses from four automatic settings, based on lift thickness.
As material stiffness increases during compaction, the vibration vector automatically adjusts from predominantly vertical toward a more horizontal orientation, optimizing energy transfer and helping to prevent over-compaction. Flexible Asphalt Manager rollers can effectively replace multiple traditional compaction setups in one machine, according to BOMAG.
Vibration direction automatically reverses with travel direction, helping eliminate
the bow wave effect and improve compaction results. Increasing the roller’s versatility, it can act as an oscillation roller using the oscillation-only mode. This technology allows operators with a range of skill levels to compact a smooth mat with spec-meeting densities.
BOMAG’s intelligent compaction technology, the BOMAP app, provides transparent and real-time compaction control. BOMAP allows operators to monitor both asphalt and soil compaction results in real time, regardless of roller manufacturer. The technology allows operators to immediately see where the material has been optimally compacted or where further passes are required through a series of color-coded maps of pass count, stiffness and temperature.
Once the app is installed on a mobile device, it’s immediately ready for use. In its base version, BOMAP uses the mobile device’s internal GPS to detect roller positioning to simplify surface covering com-
paction control. Alternatively, BOMAG offers an external GPS wireless receiver that can be connected to the mobile device to detect roller positioning and tracking to within 7.9 in. For projects requiring even greater accuracy, an optional antenna equipped with correction service can detect roller positioning within 2 in.
BOMAG’s BW 177 BVO-5 PL roller on display excels in compaction work close to buildings and over pipelines. It features three compaction modes — high and low amplitudes plus oscillation — making it ideal for a range of soil compaction applications on small and medium construction sites, according to BOMAG. Simple to operate, a single rotary dial allows the operator to quickly select compaction modes and adapt machine output to site conditions. Delivering performance on the most demanding jobs, the roller’s dualpump system plus self-locking differential allows it to climb up to 60 percent grades. With oscillation compaction technology, the BW 177 BVO-5 PL offers granular and

mixed soil compaction on challenging subgrades or on sensitive applications. An optional padfoot segment kit increases roller versatility by enhancing compaction efficiency of silt and clay material.
To assist contractors in meeting target soil compaction densities every time, regardless of operator experience, the BW 213 DH-5 single drum roller on display features Terrameter technology. BOMAG’s compaction measuring system employs sensors to determine material stiffness in real time.
As the soil becomes stiffer, drum acceleration increases, and the sensors record this acceleration as an Evib value. These Evib values can be correlated to target spec soil densities, allowing the system to inform operators when desirable compaction has been met or where additional compaction is required.
BOMAG’s exhibit also gives attendees a glimpse into the future of compaction technology. The featured BOMAG’s single drum roller simulator allows visitors to remotely operate a BOMAG BW 177 DH-5 PL roller located in Ridgeway, S.C. Its design gives operators the feel as if they were sitting inside the roller’s cab, while screens give the operator full visibility of the area around the machine. The simulator controls critical operating functions, including roller speed, vibration and turning.
Advancing beyond machine remote control with the simulator and into autonomous operation, the BOMAG display includes a
video and information focusing on a collaboration between BOMAG and Autonomous Solutions Inc. (ASI) to bring autonomous single drum roller operation of the BOMAG BW 213 BVC-5 PL to market.
The project leverages building block compaction technologies, including BOMAG VarioControl, to make fully autonomous roller operation a reality. The VarioControl intelligent compaction system automatically adjusts the drum’s direction and vibration energy from vertical vibration for maximum depth effect on initial passes to purely horizontal as stiffness increases to optimize compaction results and prevent over compaction.
A video display on the BOMAG BW 177 BVO-5 PL single drum roller provides insight into the power of the Blaxtair onedge AI vision system that helps prevent collisions between the roller and workers on site. Using real-time, human-shape recognition to distinguish people from surrounding obstacles, it is the only industrial-grade AI camera capable of accurately detecting and locating on-site personnel in any posture — including standing, crouching or partially visible, according to BOMAG.
Blaxtair technology delivers reliable performance in even the most demanding environments. By alerting operators only when a worker is present, it significantly reduces false alarms and operator fatigue, strengthening both safety and productivity across the worksite.

lettered in football, baseball and basketball. Standing 6-ft.-5 in., he notably competed against Wilt Chamberlain in the Inter-Ac League.
Following graduation, Mr. Buckley served as a captain in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from 1958 to 1959. After completing his military service, he joined his father’s Philadelphia-based deep foundation and sewer and water company, Buckley & Company Inc. He began as a laborer in the shop — learning the business from the ground up — and assumed leadership from his father in 1974 after which, under his tutelage, the company transitioned to a heavy highway, civil and dredging and dive contractor at that time.
“He embraced results, not excuses. No matter how tough things are going, you keep moving forward and finish the job.”
Rob Buckley Buckley & Company
Philadelphia’s Society Hill neighborhood — the same stretch that was recently demolished as part of the Central Access Philadelphia project.
“We’re now building the 11-acre park over the highway — the cap,” he said. “So, I helped build the original project and then tore it down decades later. If you’re tearing down something you helped build, you’ve been around a while.”
His father had overseen the original construction.
“I was a laborer on that job in the
just being the way he was — his mannerisms, everything about him. He would always say, ‘Your word is your bond, and your handshake is the deal.’ Nothing else matters. It’s just such a huge loss.”
Will Buckley, son and vice president of Buckley & Company, described his father as “all business” on the job site or in the office, yet able to completely switch off from work to be a “play dad.”
“He was a great family man who enjoyed activities like boating and spending time at their shore house,” he said. “This ability to separate his professional and personal life was a defining trait.”
As president, chief executive officer and later chairman of the board, Mr. Buckley expanded the company into a nationally recognized contractor. Over the course of his career, he was involved in 48 joint ventures across the United States.
Under his leadership, the firm completed numerous landmark projects, including the original pond area surrounding the iconic globe work at EPCOT Center in Walt Disney World —— a major joint venture at San Francisco International Airport, significant infrastructure projects in Puerto Rico, the Schuylkill widening and bridge rehabilitation project from City Line Avenue to King of Prussia (east and westbound), and the Newburgh–Beacon Bridge in Newburgh, N.Y., among many others.
Closer to home, Mr. Buckley helped shape Philadelphia’s infrastructure. As his daughter Kathryn Buckley, an engineer in the company’s estimating department, noted, there is scarcely a bridge in the city that did not bear his touch — whether through original construction or later reconstruction.
“Dad built the ‘bathtub’ portion of the I-95 corridor in the 1970s,” she said. “Currently, we are improving the same area with the Central Access Philadelphia project, which is building a cap and park over the interstate. In many cases, the firm completed the original construction under his direction only to return years later — sometimes under the next generation’s leadership — to modernize and rebuild.”
Working for her father meant learning by example.
“He was very disciplined,” Kathryn told Construction Equipment (CEG). “He loved what he did. And he pushed you as far as you could go. He expected 120 percent at all times — just as he expected 120 percent of himself.”
Even in his later years, Mr. Buckley remained engaged with the company. He
stepped back from daily operations during the COVID-19 pandemic, he continued to monitor projects by phone. He called his son, Rob Buckley Jr. — who now leads the company — at least once a day. Everyone got the phone calls, all managers, office personnel and team members, including Kathryn.
“The biggest change this week,” she said recently of his passing, “is that we haven’t had the phone call from Dad.”
True to form, Mr. Buckley worked until the very end. He passed away on a Friday afternoon — after the workday had concluded.
“If you can choose when you die,” Kathryn said, “he chose Friday afternoon after work hours.
In the days following his passing, his children did what he would have expected: they went to work.
“Everyone asked why?” Kathryn said. “And I said, ‘Because that’s how my dad rolls. What are you going to do — sit at home crying? That doesn’t work. Get to work.’ That’s how he was.”
“I pretty much learned everything from him that made us what we are today — hard work, determination, honor, loyalty, dedication to his family, his employees and the construction industry, respect and a neverquit attitude,” said Rob Buckley, son and president of Buckley & Company, told CEG. “He also embraced results, not excuses. No matter how tough things are going, you keep moving forward and finish the job.”
Will added that his father taught his children — Rob, John (retired due to injury at work), Kathryn and himself — critical skills by involving them in high-pressure emergency jobs for the company, including how to communicate, coordinate and manage catastrophic events, such as emergency repairs on I-95 in the Port Richmond area in Philadelphia following a tire fire, and emergency repair work on I-95 in Kerlin Street in Chester, Pa., after a tanker fire.
He said his father was always mindful of treating people with respect.
“He would say, ‘Never burn bridges with anybody, you might be working with them on next job.’”
Marlena “Marley” Buckley, granddaughter, fourth generation family business member and project superintendent of the CAP project in Philadelphia, emphasized her grandfather’s daily practice of visiting every job site and staying informed about all projects.
“I admired his commitment to knowing ‘every move’ on each job. He commanded attention immediately upon entering a room or job site.”
Marlena “Marley” Buckley Buckley & Company
“Despite having responsibilities across the entire business, he maintained close contact with field operations,” she said. “I admired his commitment to knowing ‘every move’ on each job. He commanded attention immediately upon entering a room or job site.”
Rob Buckley said he began working for the company as a teenager in 1974, starting with the lowest job in the shop.
“My first job was greasing the trucks in the grease pit — maintaining the equipment, washing the trucks and doing whatever needed to be done during the summers,” he said.
He later worked on the concrete crew on the original Interstate 95 project in
mid-to-late ’70s,” he said. “I don’t remember the exact year. But I remember one thing — we weren’t going home unless we placed a thousand yards of concrete in a day.”
Rob Buckley became president of the company approximately a decade ago, around 2016, after his father gradually stepped back from day-to-day leadership.
“Even then, he never really gave up the reins,” he said. “You don’t fully get put in the power until the older generation is gone. I’ll miss his presence, his knowledge and him
She attributed this authority to the respect he earned over many years and to his personal character. But, she added, that while her grandfather appeared to often place an unrelenting emphasis on work, his efforts were ultimately for the family’s and the company’s well-being.
“He ensured the family was safe and cared for, building a company designed to endure across generations,” she said.
Beyond the family business, Mr. Buckley was known for mentoring other contractors and supporting numerous charitable and community organizations, including churches, Drexel University and the March of Dimes.

The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) announced the 2026 recipients of its Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement (OCEA) Award nominations, which recognize exemplary civil engineering projects.
The 2026 OCEA nominees are as follows:
Cairo Metro Line 3, Phase 3 (Cairo, Egypt) — This 11mi. extension of Cairo’s metro system aims to reduce the city’s travel congestion and provide a reliable modern transportation system for more than 1.5 million people. The project improved accessibility with 15 stations connecting key areas of city with the central business district and aims to reduce transportation time and accident rates.
Carlsbad Desalination Plant Intake & Discharge Facility (Carlsbad, Calif.) — This seawater intake and discharge facility replaces a previous facility linked to a now decommissioned powerplant. The new facility creates a sustainable and resilient water supply that delivers 50 million gal. a day to the San Diego County Water Authority. The plant’s design minimizes the impact of future droughts on the water supply and can remain in operation during events like tidal level fluctuations, sea level rise and tsunamis.
Central Business District Tolling Program (N.Y.) —
Built as part of New York’s implementation of the city’s Congestion Relief Zone, this advanced tolling technology helps manage traffic and improves urban mobility. The toll collection system uses devices that blend into the city’s existing infrastructure to minimize the visual impact. Since the tolling program started in January 2025, the Congestion Relief Zone has seen an 11 percent reduction in vehicle traffic, increased transit ridership and reduced travel times.
Complete 540 Phase 1 (Raleigh, N.C.) — The $1.3 billion Complete 540 Phase 1 project is a transformative toll corridor that connects Wake County to regional destinations, significantly reducing congestion and improving travel time for thousands of commuters. This 18-mi. expressway exemplifies innovation, resilience and sustainability, integrating design, environmental stewardship and inclusive contracting.
Exploration Green Detention Facility (Houston, Texas) — This flood control and green space project transformed a defunct golf course in Clear Lake, Texas into five stormwater detention ponds with 500 million gal. of capacity. It is designed to withstand a 100-year storm event, the facility protected homes during Hurricane Harvey, and now safeguards thousands of residents. In addition to flood mitigation, the project features more than six mi. of trails, restored wetlands, native habitats and other recreational amenities.
Hyperion Advanced Water Purification Facility (Playa Del Ray, Calif.) — This water purification facility delivers 1.5 million gal. of water a day and is a cornerstone in the city of Los Angeles’ vision for a water-resilient future. Every drop of purified water produced by the Hyperion APWF directly offsets a drop of potable water. The APWF plays a key role in advancing a future water supply strategy that aims to meet up to 50 percent of Los Angeles’ potable water demand with purified recycled water, turning wastewater into a vital, sustainable resource for millions of people.
I-64 Improvement and Kanawha River Bridge (Putnam County, W.Va.) — This project replaced one of the state’s most traveled bridges that was also a frequent traf-
fic chokepoint due to the inability to expand the previous bridge. The project expanded the new bridge to three travel lanes in each direction, along with a lane for drivers to merge when getting on and off the highway. The design-build process led to a cost-effective project, simplified construction and reduced the impact on river traffic.
Lake Washington Ship Canal Large Lock Miter Gate Replacement (Seattle, Wash.) — The Ballard Locks are the busiest locks in the United States and also a major tourist attraction, serving approximately 50,000 vessels and more than 1 million pedestrians each year. They connect Lake Washington to Puget Sound while maintaining the level of the lake and separating fresh and salt water. This project included decommissioning the 240-ton, century-old miter gate leaves and replacing them with two newly fabricated 165-ton leaves. The replacement minimizes the need for future maintenance closings and ensures the Locks continue to function in prime condition to serve the public efficiently.
Portland International Airport, Terminal Core Redevelopment Phase One (Portland, Ore.) — This $2 billion redevelopment of Portland International Airport is one of Oregon’s largest public infrastructure projects. Covering more than 1 million sq. ft., it transforms Portland International Airport with a striking mass timber roof, seismic upgrades, expanded spaces and cutting-edge sustainability features. This ambitious modernization enhances capacity, resilience and the passenger experience.
Seattle Aquarium’s Ocean Pavilion (Seattle, Wash.) — The Open Ocean Pavilion provides visitors to the Seattle Aquarium an immersive experience to see marine life. It contains more than 500,000 gal. of water and includes a 30ft.-wide window that resists more than 1.1 million gal. of water pressure. It is designed to withstand a magnitude 9.0 earthquake and can withstand the strongest windstorm. The project expanded the aquarium and facilitated an accessible connection between Pike Place Market and the Puget Sound and is the final piece of Seattle’s urban planning waterfront redevelopment vision.
Southeast Treatment Plant Headworks Project (San Francisco, Calif.) — This new 250 million gal. a day plant processes up to 80 percent of San Francisco’s wastewater flow and replaced two aging facilities. The vertical design conserves land while allowing the plant to increase grit removal capacity to ten times the industry norm. It is designed to withstand a magnitude 7.8 earthquake and 36 in. of sea level rise and will operate continuously in extreme conditions. The project also included investments in public art, odor mitigation and workforce development.
Transform I-66 Outside the Beltway: I-66/Nutley Street Interchange (Fairfax County, Va.) — Northern Virginia’s $3.7 billion Transform I-66 Outside the Beltway Project introduced a safer, more efficient I-66/Nutley Street Interchange, benefiting drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. The design allowed for keeping an existing bridge and eliminated the need for a second one. It also included extensive safety measures like grade-separating pedestrian crossings and roundabouts to protect both pedestrians and drivers. The redesigned interchange stands as a testament to modern, thoughtful infrastructure planning.

RB Global, Inc. announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BigIron Auction Company, accelerating the company’s strategic expansion into United States agriculture.
BigIron is a scaled, agriculture-focused online marketplace connecting buyers and sellers of agricultural equipment, land, livestock and other farm and ranch assets. Embedded in the communities it serves across rural America, BigIron’s digital platform is trusted by farmers, landowners and rural enterprises.
BigIron processed roughly $885 million in gross transaction value, including roughly $520 million from commercial assets and vehicles and $365 million from agriculture land and real estate transactions, and is supported by a highly engaged bidder base.
“BigIron brings a talented team with deep ag sector knowledge and an established sales footprint that will continue operating as a stand-alone brand while being complemented by the Ritchie Bros. industrial footprint,” said Jim Kessler, CEO of RB Global. “This will create opportunities to serve even more customers through a combination of onsite, offsite and digital channels and solutions.”
“We are proud of our team’s tremendous work to establish BigIron as a leading auction marketplace for farmers, landowners and rural businesses,” said Mark Stock, cofounder of BigIron. “RB Global values our culture and shares our respect for the agricultural community. Through this combination, we gain a larger platform and additional resources, which is expected to help us deliver even greater choice and liquidity to all the sellers we serve.”
Ron Stock, co-founder of BigIron, said, “Since our founding in 1984, we have remained steadfast in our commitment to providing an honest, trustworthy auction. We look forward to continuing our mission to serve our sellers, buyers and employees for years to come, and to continue operating BigIron as a standalone brand with Mark and I involved in the business as usual.”
The transaction is expected to be completed in the second half of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Until closing, RB Global and BigIron will continue to operate as independent companies in the ordinary course.

His devotion to Drexel University remained steadfast throughout his life. He joined the university’s board of trustees in 1991 and later received an honorary Doctor of Engineering degree in recognition of his service and leadership.
He was named a Drexel Legend by the Colonel Athletic Association, received the A.J. Drexel Paul Award and the College of Engineering Alumni Achievement Award, and was inducted into the Drexel Athletic Hall of Fame. He also was recognized as a member of the Drexel 100 (a distinction lauding the top outstanding graduates) and the College of Engineering Alumni Circle of Distinction. Buckley Field, Buckley Green and Buckley Courts at the Armory, Jack Buckley Hoogstraten Sports Medicine Center stand as lasting tributes to his commitment.
In the professional community, Mr. Buckley was a respected industry leader. He served as a member, board member and president of several organizations, including The Moles, which he joined in 1978. He served as its president in 2000, received the
Member Award in 2007 and celebrated his 40-year anniversary with the organization in 2018. His son Rob became a Mole in 1994. He also served as president of the Contractors Association of Eastern Pennsylvania and the Association of Pennsylvania Contractors, just to mention a few.
Mr. Buckley is survived by his wife of 68 years, Marlene (née Miller); his children, Robert (Patricia) Buckley, John Buckley, Marlena Buckley, Kathryn Buckley and William (Sheila) Buckley; his grandchildren, Katlyn (Matt) Walton, Kelly Buckley, Michael (Kathryn) Buckley, Christopher (Marrissa) Buckley, Stephen (Elaina) Hill, Tyler (Brittany) Hill, Marissa Hill, Blake Hoogstraten, James Hoogstraten, Marley Buckley and Travis Buckley; and his greatgrandchildren, Brooklyn Walton, Kamryn Walton, Emilia Buckley, Savannah Buckley, Lilyana Buckley and Liam Hill.

Volvo’s new R70 rigid hauler offers the highest power-to-weight ratio in its size class for optimum productivity, according to the
hard, there is space for you and it’s genuinely a space where you can progress. Talk to people already doing the job, explore handson training, stay curious and challenge assumptions — including your own.”
“Accept that the first few months might feel uncomfortable,” she added. “That doesn’t mean you don’t belong. If you walk onto site and you’re the only woman there, don’t shrink yourself. You deserve to be there as much as anyone else and you are as trained and competent as anyone else.”
At the ConExpo-Con/AGG EmpowerHER workshop, she emphasized the importance of bringing women into the field and keeping them in the field.
“We’ve made some progress getting women into construction, but we haven’t made the same progress keeping them here,” she said. “Recruitment is only half the story — retention is where the real work is. It shouldn’t only be on women to be braver. The industry has a responsibility to make itself a place worth stepping into.”
While she acknowledged there’s no single solution to a culture shift, she believes creating supportive cultures, promoting women role models, increasing visibility, addressing fundamental simple issues —
such as site facilities available to women, PPE sized appropriately for women as well as flexible working arrangements — and bridging the “health and safety” gap can help break down the intimidation and barriers women face entering into the field.
Jennifer Todd, executive director of A Greener Tomorrow
Jennifer Todd, an accoladed founder and executive director for a nonprofit known as A Greener Tomorrow, has devoted her career to advancing equity, workforce development and representation in the construction field. With nearly two decades in the field, she offers extensive knowledge in federal disaster recovery, strategic planning and workforce development.
Todd recently received prestigious awards from the Top 20 Under 40 and was named a finalist for CBO Outstanding Women in Construction and an honoree for the South Florida Business Journal Diverse Voice.
When Todd isn’t leading her nonprofit, speaking at events, or producing her docuseries known as “Breaking Barriers: Women at Work,” Todd serves on numerous advisory groups and organizations, including the American Society of Civil Engineers, National Association of Black
Women in Construction, John Deere and CREW Collaborative.
At the ConExpo-Con/AGG EmpowerHER Workshop, Todd shared many insights, including a framework she developed known as the “Doubt Tax.” Rather than battling internal challenges, such as imposter syndrome, while working in the field, Todd explained in the construction world women mostly face external challenges.
She told Construction Equipment Guide, “The ‘Doubt Tax’ is an external cost women in male-dominated industries pay in environments that were not originally designed with them in mind. It’s not about individual resilience; it’s about structural retention.”
She noted that although “construction is one of the most opportunity-rich industries in the country right now … less than 14 percent of women represent the workforce,” and calls for companies to perform leadership audits, in efforts to mitigate the workforce shortage and challenges women face in the field.
Despite the “Doubt Tax,” Todd strongly advocates women to enter into the field. To young women aspiring to kickstart their career in the construction industry, she encourages them to explore trade programs,
apprenticeships and to join local contractor associations.
To the women looking to shift industries, she said, “Construction needs leaders with transferable skills: operations, finance, project management, communications, technology, strategy. If you can lead under pressure, manage risk, solve complex problems, or build systems you already have currency here.”
Lastly, Todd advised, “Do not assume you must assimilate to succeed. The future of this industry depends on new perspectives, not smaller versions of the same ones.”
These three determined leaders have committed their careers to empowering other women to enter into and grow in a challenging but rewarding field. The EmpowerHER Workshop this year at ConExpo-Con/AGG gave these women a platform to network, collaborate and share best practices and insights. Overall, these efforts work toward fostering a more inclusive environment for women to work, lead and innovate in the field — all while shaping the future of
construction industry.
