Doppstadt SM 1200 Triflex Star Screen Hits U.S. The SM 1200 Triflex is a two-deck star screen capable of creating three fractions from organic source material, even with very high moisture content. The high-volume, precise separation capability of the Triflex offers enhanced screening performance to operations that have highly demanding screening needs, according to the manufacturer. As with the SM star screen insert, Triflex functionality is based on the parallel rotation of the stars on each deck to loosen and transport material across the screen. Doppstadt’s alternating shaft speeds provide an additional degree of agitation, which further tears and separates the material. This delivers advanced performance and productivity even with high-moisture-content material. The effective opening of either deck can be changed on the fly using the adjustable shaft speed controls. With its large 140 sq. ft. (13 sq m) of screening surface, the Triflex can achieve high rates of output, while delivering consistent products. For even greater separation capability,
The SM 1200 Triflex is a two-deck star screen capable of creating three fractions from organic source material.
the Triflex can be fitted with optional wind sifters over both decks, magnetic separation and additional star deck or tipping grid above the hopper. “We believe the introduction of the SM 1200 Triflex to the U.S. market will be a game changer,” said Hugh Fagan,
DoppstadtUS sales director. “There really isn’t another machine that can compete on this scale, and it will provide a level of screening capability that can completely change the economics of large-scale separation facilities.” For more information, visit www.doppstadtus.com.
Ohio Willing to Lease Turnpike, But Won’t Sell It to Investors TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) If the state strikes a deal to lease the Ohio Turnpike to private investors, it also wants to make sure tolls will not soar like gas prices, Ohio’s transportation director said. State officials want any deal to include caps on future tolls. Ohio Transportation Director Jerry Wray on April 14 outlined a few more details about what could happen with the turnpike while meeting with local officials in northwest Ohio. The state is willing to lease it but won’t sell it outright, he said. And any money that comes from a deal would go right back into improvements such as highway construction and harbor dredging, mainly in northern Ohio.
Another option is putting the turnpike under the control of the Ohio Department of Transportation instead of the current Ohio Turnpike Commission, he told The Blade. “There is not a preferred option at this point,” Wray said. “Leasing is the most talked about. We’re seeking the best longterm option for Ohio.” Critics of Gov. John Kasich’s proposal to turn over the turnpike have warned such a move could lead to higher tolls on the 241mi. route that cuts across northern Ohio and connects Youngstown, Cleveland and Toledo. Higher tolls also could end up pushing more truck traffic onto routes that run along the turnpike. That’s what happened after an 82 percent toll increase took full effect in 1999. The state later lowered tolls
and increased speeds to lure back truckers. Kasich raised the idea of leasing the turnpike just a few weeks after he was elected in November. He called the turnpike an underutilized asset, but said early on that he wasn’t sure whether investors could be found given the economic climate. Kasich also said he probably wouldn’t approve any deal worth less than $2.5 billion. The governor’s proposed budget allows the transportation department and budget office to negotiate and enter a turnpike lease with a private operator. Wray said several potential bidders have asked about taking over turnpike concessions if that’s opened up.
A private turnpike operator, Wray said, could end up installing automated fare collection machines, eliminating the jobs of unionized toll workers. The idea of leasing the turnpike was met with mixed reaction from northwest Ohio officials. James Carter, president of the Wood County commissioners, had doubts on whether the state would follow through with promises about where the money would go because of past broken promises. “I want to hear more,” he said. The idea is worth looking at, said Tony Reams, executive director of the Toledo Metropolitan Area Council of Governments. “You can’t ignore it,” he said. “There’s an opportunity here.”

Bridge Authority: Design Changes Fecon Hires Mike Will Take One Year for Bridge Projects Karre as Technical JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (AP) Final decisions about design changes in the $4.1 billion Ohio River Bridges Project, along with an evaluation about the impact of tolls, may take another year, people involved in the project said. But they insist construction on the new bridges is still set to begin in August 2012. Tim Hagerty, a Louisville attorney representing Kentucky and Indiana on environmental issues, said March 30 that the work involved in a supplemental environmental impact report will be laid out in the coming weeks, according to The Courier-Journal of Louisville. The bridge project, a partnership between the Indiana and Kentucky state transportation agencies started in 2003 to improve transportation across the Ohio River, involves constructing two new bridge spans and rebuilding Louisville’s Kennedy Interchange, a web of intertwined ramps often referred to as “Spaghetti Junction.” The Louisville and Southern Indiana Bridges Authority, the board that directs the project’s financing, said it is developing a funding strategy for the projects. Recently proposed changes, including plans to scale back lanes of a tunnel leading to an eastern span, could save the authority $500 million, according to Gary Valentine, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s project manager. “The roadway and the tunnel [to the East End Bridge] would be reduced from six lanes down to four lanes, but
constructed in a way that two more lanes can be added later if the traffic volume warrants it,” Chuck Wolfe, spokesman of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, told the Associated Press. “You would have shoulders, basically, wide enough to accommodate additional, two additional traffic lanes, if it gets to the point where they’re needed.” Authority members said at the meeting of the finance and construction committee that they still need to study whether to negotiate a traditional contract as opposed to a public-private partnership before next August, the authority’s target date for construction to start. “Most important thing [is] we’re on target for August 2012,” authority co-chair Kerry Stemler told reporters. The organization said it also will need a detailed traffic analysis that isn’t yet available. Wilbur Smith Associates, a consulting firm, has begun tracking traffic patterns at various times of day by taking photos of license plates. It also is evaluating new socio-economic data. Those measures will help the authority develop new tolling policies that increase revenue. The authority also notified the Federal Highway Administration in early March that it will pursue a federal loan that could cover nearly $1.3 billion of the project’s cost. The FHWA turned down the authority’s request for a similar loan last year.
Service Advisor Fecon Inc. has added Mike Karre to its product support team. Karre’s responsibilities will include traveling within Fecon’s dealer network to provide technical support, assist with new machine deliveries and start-ups. Karre joins Fecon with 10 plus years of service experience; most recently he worked for a Komatsu dealer as a field service technician completing full machine repairs on construction equipment plus maintenance on forestry grinders and coloring machines. “The experience Mike brings will only enhance Fecon’s line of products and product support.” said Kevin McCann, customer service manager.

Fecon Inc. Introduces the FCM22 Chipping Module
Fecon’s FCM22 allows production rates of 40 to 50 tons (36 to 45 t) per hour.
Fecon Inc.’s FCM22 is a 22 in. (56 cm) capacity chipping module, designed for mobility and flexibility. It can be adapted to the needs of almost any chipping operation. The FCM22 can be mounted to new and used log forwarders, tracked vehicles, log trailers, flat bed and log trucks.
The FCM22 features load sensing hydraulics and an IQAN control system. It is a six knife drum style chipper that makes a consistent and desirable wood chip, according to the manufacturer. The FCM22 allows production rates of 40 to 50 tons (36 to 45 t) per hour and can
densely pack chips into open top chip vans, collection wagons, or roll off containers. The FCM22 is available with either 365 or 500 hp (272 or 372 kW). Mounted on a forwarder or tracked vehicle the FCM22 goes to the woods for biomass collection as well as, right of way chipping, pipeline
clearing, and land clearing. Mounted on a trailer, with or without a loader, the FCM22 becomes a productive part of a stationary chipping operation, according to the manufacturer. For more information, call 800/528-3113.
TRAC Approves $70M in New Transportation Funding The Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC) gave Ohio a shot in the arm April 12 as it approved $70 million for new transportation projects that will boost the economy and improve safety on Ohio’s roads. TRAC — the independent council that assists the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) in selecting its largest investments — overwhelmingly voted to approve funding for safety and economic development transportation projects around Ohio. The approved list of projects ends a year-long selection process.
“Today concluded an open and fair selection process which delivered a final project list that will increase economic development and safety for Ohioans,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray, who also chairs the TRAC. “We had to make some difficult decisions to keep the list within fiscal balance while still keeping pace with our state’s growing transportation needs.” In addition to projects already under construction, the list includes projects ready for new construction and projects that will be studied and designed for potential construction in the future.
TRAC approved funding for two projects expected to bring economic development to Ohio. The Pickaway East/West Connector received $2.7 million for design and $800,000 went to the Mid-Ohio Intermodal Facility in Marion. Two safety projects to separate railroad crossings from roadways with underpasses include $13.2 million for CR73/McCord Rd. near Toledo and $16.6 million for SR 58 in the village of Wellington. Nearly $15 million was also approved for the Mahoning Road Transit Corridor, which will add new transit service along SR 153 in
city of Canton. The second phase of the State Route 42 widening through the city of Strongsville will also be completed with the $6 million in TRAC funds approved today. Last spring, local municipalities, county commissioners and county engineers, metropolitan planning organizations, and port authorities submitted applications for new construction investments as well as funding for new planning, design, and right of way work to the TRAC. For more information on the final approved TRAC list, visit www.dot.state.oh.us.

ODOT Rolls Out Construction Schedule for Coming Months Working to deliver the biggest bang for Ohio’s dollars, the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) is ready to begin construction on nearly 700 projects statewide. “Ohioans deserve a reliable and predictable construction program which provides them with the highest value for their investments,” said ODOT Director Jerry Wray. “This year, we will deliver just that.” Of ODOT’s nearly 700 projects scheduled to begin this year, 250 will be devoted to bridge maintenance and replacement, 200 to reconstruction and widening, and 150 to paving. Projects adding new lanes and general maintenance projects make up the difference. For a listing of projects taking place locally within the eight-county region of ODOT District 1 which includes Allen, Defiance, Hancock, Hardin, Paulding, Putnam, Van Wert and Wyandot counties go to: http://www.dot.state.oh.us/districts/D01/PlanningProgra
Pair of Paving Jobs Scheduled for May in Carroll County Beginning May 4, resurfacing work is expected on various routes in Carroll County. More than 6 mi. (9.7 km) of SR 43 will be resurfaced from SR 171 north of Carrollton to SR 183 near Malvern. ODOT’s contractor for this $1.3 million project is Shelly Company, of Thornville, Ohio. Additionally, more than 10 mi. (16.1 km) of SR 171 will be resurfaced by another project from the Stark County line to SR 9, and more than 6 mi. of SR 542 will be resurfaced from just north of Atwood Lake to SR 183 at Magnolia. ODOT's contractor for this $3 million project is Superior Paving & Materials Inc., of North Canton, Ohio. Traffic will be maintained on both projects with flaggers, and the completion date for both projects is July 31, 2011.
OAIMA To Hold Annual Golf Outing The Ohio Aggregates & Industrial Minerals Association (OAIMA) will hold its 2011 Golf Outing July 25 at the New Albany Country Club beginning at 11 a.m. The fees are $225 per golfer, which includes all golf fees as well as the reception and dinner, or $50 per person for the evening reception and dinner only. Space is limited to 200 golfers. Prizes will be awarded for longest drive, longest putt made, closest to the pin and overall team. OAIMA is still seeking hole, reception, beverage cart and beverage station sponsors. For more information on the event, contact OAIMA at 800/647-6257 or visit http://oaima.org.
ms/Projects/Pages/ProjectListings.aspx. New this year, work will begin on two of the Department’s largest-ever Design-Build projects — the I-90 westbound Innerbelt Bridge in downtown Cleveland and the I-71/I-670 Interchange in downtown Columbus. While work is already underway on the I-90 bridge, construction will not begin on the I-71/I-670 project until later this year. Design-Build projects are designed and constructed under one contract speeding construction, lowering costs, improving quality control, and lessening the impact on the traveling public. Around the state, work will continue on the I-71 Jeremiah
Morrow Bridge—Ohio’s tallest bridge—near Lebanon, the Nelsonville Bypass, the I-75 Modernization Project through downtown Dayton, and the U.S 24 Fort-to-Port in Napoleon and near Toledo. Motorists should use caution as they navigate through the hundreds of construction work zones this year. In a report just released by ODOT, data shows there were 5,038 crashes in work zones last year resulting in 1,909 injuries and 12 fatalities.
