A freeway upgrade in northeast Florida will make an impact on all manner of transportation, including the Port of Jacksonville, Jacksonville International Airport, railroad yards, commuters and tourists entering the state.

The I-95/I-295 project will modernize and reconfigure the interchange to improve traffic flow, safety and increase capacity. A collector distributor system will be a key part of the effort, which will enable motorists traveling I-295 to maneuver through the interchange with fewer lane shifts.

USACE Greenlights $2.3B Mississippi River Diversion

Drawing courtesy of The Water Institute of the Gulf

Conceptual design of the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion.

In a historic decision, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) on Dec. 19 gave its approval to Louisiana’s longsought-after $2.3 billion Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion on the west bank of the Mississippi River near the community of Ironton in Plaquemines Parish.

The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion would be the first effort of its kind, trying to mimic how the muddy river built south Louisiana over thousands of years before humans constrained it with levees. The goal is to reconnect the degraded wetlands of Barataria Bay with both freshwater and sediment, which in pre-levee days would have naturally and regularly filtered in from the Mississippi River, building land and supporting freshwater vegetation in the process.

According to Waterways Journal Weekly, the diversion structure will involve a break in the river levee just above Ironton, along with a canal extending 2 mi. to the southwest and ending in the upper reaches of Barataria Bay. The region is seeing some of the highest rates of land loss in a state that is losing about a football field of land every 100 minutes due to subsidence, erosion and relative sea level rise.

WWNO, New Orleans’ National Public Radio (NPR) station, reported that the diversion is a key piece in the state’s 50-year, $50 billion plan to support some of the state’s lower third of land in the face of coastal erosion, sinking earth and global sea level rise.

The project, though, has been contentious due to the expected negative impacts it will have on marine mammals in the Barataria Basin, on commercial fishing in the area, and on navigation in the Mississippi River.

“We take great care to neither endorse nor oppose any project when administering our regulatory authorities,” USACE New Orleans District Commander Col. Cullen Jones said in announcing its approval. “Our responsibility is to use the science, engineering, technology and data avail-

able to make the best-informed decision.”

2010 Oil Spill Deal Paying for Bulk of Project The Corps’ will grant Louisiana’s Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) two permits — Section 10 and Section 408 — that are critical to start construction if they accept the federal agency’s terms. If so, the state could start the five-year construction in early 2023.

The authority’s board chair, Chip Kline, said the state is still reviewing the USACE’s conditions but is “elated” at receiving authorization to proceed.

“Most importantly, this moves us toward a more resilient, more sustainable, and brighter future for communities in coastal Louisiana,” he told WWNO. “It helps restore for injuries from the [2010 BP] Deepwater Horizon oil spill still felt in many of Louisiana’s estuaries today, and it moves us toward safeguarding this special place for future generations to enjoy.”

BP settlement dollars will pay for most of the project, should the federal and state trustees who hold the purse decide to fund the project. Their final decision is expected early in 2023. In past reports, the trustees have supported the project, stating the Mid-Barataria diversion is “the only way to achieve a self-sustaining marsh ecosystem in the Barataria Basin.”

Maj. Gen. Diana Holland, the Army Corps’ commanding general on the Mississippi River Valley diversion project, said that all public input was considered before announcing its conclusion.

“The people that live and work in a project area know the area better than anyone,” Holland said in speaking with WWNO. “Every comment received was considered and used in reaching the final decisions.”

It came nearly three months after the USACE issued its final analysis weighing the environmental impacts of the two-mi.-long sediment diversion in late September. In its press release, the Corps of Engineers said the diversion’s current design was the least damaging of all options proposed, including taking no action at all.

Plan Will Require Modifying Highway, Rail Spur During peak flood season, the diversion would send up to 75,000 cu. ft. of river water into the sediment-starved marshes of Barataria Bay, cutting through Plaquemines’ west bank.

The Barataria Basin has lost more than 430 sq. mi. of what was once almost 1,500 sq. mi. of land since 1932. Hopes are that the diversion will build and sustain up to 27 sq. mi. of land by 2050, as well as supporting other state coastal restoration projects planned in the region.

According to CPRA’s project overview, the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion will have about a 1,600-ft.-wide footprint and, during peak flood season, a variable discharge capacity of up to 75,000 cu. ft. per second, or cfs. The targeted site is at about Mile 69 on the Mississippi River.

Besides the cut in the river levee, the project also will require modifications to Louisiana Highway 23 and an existing railroad spur, Waterways Journal Weekly reported. The structure is expected to discharge about 25,000 cfs. when the river has a flow of 450,000 cfs. at Belle Chasse. That would swell to a maximum of 75,000 cfs. as the river approaches one million cfs.

In low-flow conditions, the diversion would run at up to 5,000 cfs. to “protect, sustain and maintain newly vegetated or recently converted fresh, intermediate, and brackish marshes near the diversion outflow,” according to the prosee RIVER page 80

N.C. Speedway Being Reborn for 2023 NASCAR Race Work is well under way at North Carolina’s North Wilkesboro Speedway as the historic facility undergoes a major face-lift in advance of the 2023 running of the NASCAR All-Star Race on May 21.

While many improvements are being made to the existing infrastructure, track officials told NASCAR.com that they are doing everything they can to keep the historic look and feel that makes the facility and its 0.625-mi.-long track unique.

“We want to maintain the patina,” said Steve Swift, senior vice president of operations and development of Speedway Motorsports Inc. (SMI), owner of the western North Carolina track. “The facility will look like it did, as close as possible to when it was running back in the ’80s and the ’90s.”

That includes touching up the historic murals and classic graphics that once greeted race fans when they entered North Wilkesboro Speedway. Many other historic signs around the facility will also be preserved.

NASCAR last visited North Wilkesboro Speedway on Sept. 29, 1996, when Jeff Gordon triumphed in the 93rd NASCAR Cup Series race at the facility.

In the time since that event, many of the structures at the speedway fell into disrepair. Track officials have worked with contractors to make sure any structures that need repairs or replacement keep a similar look and feel to what was there before the current construction project.

Extensive Upgrades, Rebuilds Taking Place Perhaps the most notable change made thus far to North

Wilkesboro Speedway has taken place in the infield, which has undergone a complete excavation so that new pavement can be installed in advance of race week next May. As part of that process, a major infield drainage problem that existed long before the track closed in 1996 has now been repaired.

“We’ve addressed a lot of the drainage issues,” explained Swift. “We would get rain, and if there was a big storm, the pipe that led out of Turn 2 was the only place the water could get out. We’d have a lake in the infield and on the racing surface. Those pieces had to be fixed.”

In addition, NASCAR.com reported the process to repair and replace the speedway’s retaining walls also has begun, with new concrete walls poured into some areas of the track in preparation for the installation of Steel and Foam Energy Reduction (SAFER) barriers expected to be delivered onsite in late January. Also known as soft walls, SAFER barriers are found at many oval automobile racetracks to absorb and reduce kinetic energy during the impact of a high-speed crash.

The contractors working at the speedway also have dug up the stalls on pit road and will replace them with new, wider concrete pit stalls. Once construction is complete, North Wilkesboro Speedway will have 40 new pit stalls — three less than it had before.

Iowa-based MUSCO Lighting is in the planning stages of installing its system of speedway lights to allow for nighttime NASCAR Cup Series races at the historic track for the first time in its history, according to Swift.

He added that the foundations for the lights will be built in

January and, soon after, the new LED MUSCOs will be ready for placement. During a race, Swift said the speedway’s lighting personnel will be able to utilize several “cool features that will be really new to NASCAR,” such as make the lighting dance, flicker on and off, and cast as a spotlight.

The North Wilkesboro track still plans to use a hydraulic lift to transport the winning race car into Victory Lane on top of the infield media center, he explained. There also are plans in place to refurbish the scoring pylon in the infield so that it is operational in time for race week next spring.

Return of Manual Billboard in Works NASCAR.com noted that one of the most unique parts of the speedway’s revitalization project will take place in Turns 3 and 4. Officials plan to bring back the manually updated billboard that once stood there outside the track for use when NASCAR returns to the facility.

Swift said that Marcus Smith, president, CEO and director of SMI, as well as general manager of the Charlotte Motor Speedway, found old photos of the North Wilkesboro track that had the scoreboard showing five positions and the number of laps driven during a race.

“Marcus came across those pictures and was adamant that [the scoreboard would go] back in place,” Swift explained.

“We will have a person up there putting laps and the top-five positions [after] every 10 laps on that board.”

A little more than five months remain before the NASCAR Cup Series returns to North Wilkesboro Speedway, but he is confident all the required work will be finished well before the event. 

VDOT Announces First Segment of I-64 Widening Advances Virginia Secretary of Transportation Shep Miller announced that the Commonwealth is advancing a longawaited project to begin widening the 64 Gap — the 29-mi. section of Interstate 64 between Richmond and Williamsburg where the highway narrows from three to two lanes in each direction.

“This notoriously congested stretch of interstate disrupts one of Virginia’s vital thoroughfares,” said Miller. “Adding a third lane in each direction will unlock the corridor, unify Richmond and Hampton Roads, grow the economy and provide opportunities for all.”

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for the first of three segments of the 64 Gap project on Dec. 16. This first segment stretches from mile marker 205 in Bottoms Bridge to mile marker 215.6, slightly more than a mile east of Courthouse Road (Exit 214) in New Kent County.

“The importance of connecting the Richmond and Hampton Roads regions cannot be overstated,” Miller added. “Issuing this RFQ is the first step in closing the gap and realizing the RVA/757 region’s true potential while improving safety on the cor-

all, improves travel time reliability, reduces congestion, and improves safety,” said VDOT Commissioner Stephen Brich.

Adding a third lane in each direction of the 64 Gap provides a more efficient and safer connection between Richmond and Hampton Roads. Since the conclusion of the I-64 widening projects at Bottoms Bridge in New Kent and Segment 3 in Hampton Roads, VDOT has been preparing for the remaining 29mi. section for expansion.

Brich added, “I-64 is an important evacuation route for the Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina areas in the event of an emergency. Widening the 64 Gap will improve traffic flow when we Shep Miller need it most.”

The estimated

completion of this section is winter 2026-27.

VDOT recently secured final National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) approval for the entire widening project, clearing the way for final design and construction. The 29-mi.-long project, from mile marker 205 at Bottoms Bridge just east of I-295 to the Lightfoot exit (mile marker 234) in the Williamsburg area, adds a 12-ft. travel lane in both directions and 10-ft. paved shoulders on both the inside and outside lanes. The median is being used for the additional lanes and shoulders.

The Commonwealth is seeking federal grant funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Project Discretionary Grant Opportunity to support funding for the full project. VDOT estimates the entire 29-mi. project will cost approximately $750 million.

In addition to the roadway widening, the project will widen and rehabilitate multiple bridges, and install new overhead signs, cameras to help with incident alerts, sound barrier walls, culvert and pipe repairs, and storm drainage and stormwater management systems.

Facility Expansion...

MSI Breaks Ground On 548,000-Sq.-Ft. Hub Distribution Center in Virginia M S International Inc. (MSI), a supplier of flooring, countertops, wall tile and hardscaping products in North America, broke ground to build a new 548,000-sq.-ft. distribution center in Suffolk, Va. The project will take approximately 20 months to complete and will result in the addition of at least 80 new jobs.

This facility will focus on distributing flooring, countertop, wall tile and hardscaping products throughout the region that are imported through the port of Norfolk. MSI’s other

“MSI is very excited with this huge expansion of our distribution footprint in Virginia. This new hub distribution center will dramatically improve our long-term distribution capabilities across the Mid-Atlantic and Midwest,” said Rup Shah, president of MSI. “In addition, we are very impressed with the Port of Virginia and its continued investments to ensure a smooth flow of goods. Finally, both the high-quality workforce in the region combined with a very business-friendly environment were both major contributing factors to our decision.”

“Virginia is one of North America’s premier supply chain destinations, and we are excited to welcome M S International’s East Coast Distribution facility to the Commonwealth,” said Virginia Gov.

Vintage Equipment in Action T

he British philosopher, historian and archaeologist R.C. Collingwood once wrote, “The subject matter of history is not the past as such, but the past for which we possess historical evidence.”

Thanks to our friends at the Historical Construction Equipment Association, here are some great photos of vintage iron at work that provide a glimpse (and evidence) of the imagination and innovation of our industry many decades ago.

Pipeline construction often requires a host of pipelayers to place long sections of pipe. Eight Cat pipelayers are visible in this Sept. 11, 1954 scene as they hold a 600-t. section of pipe. They will walk it to the edge of the Niagara River during construction of the first pipeline, a natural gas line for the Tennessee Gas Transmission Company, to cross the river.

If modern standards for exhaust emissions become more stringent with each higher tier, this Marion Steam Shovel Model 300 rail-mounted stripping shovel must be about a Tier Minus 10. Offered from 1915 through 1923, the 350-ton, six-yd. 300 was also available with more environmentally friendly electric power.

This Bucyrus-Erie 1650-B was Peabody Coal Company’s flagship stripping shovel when she was put to work in 1956. Boasting a 55-cu.-yd. dipper on a 145ft.-long boom, this behemoth weighed 4,850,000 lbs.

Dredging contractor Dunbar & Sullivan of Buffalo, N.Y., used Irish names for all of its floating fleet right up to its demise in the 1980s. Built in 1897, the 3½ cubic yard dipper dredge Brian Boru was the first such vessel built with a steel hull.

Work Begins On $100M Gambling Hall in Louisiana Ground was broken in Kenner, La., on Oct. 18 ahead of the construction of the new land-based Treasure Chest casino, a more than $100 million development that will replace the aging riverboat of the same name in early 2024.

NOLA.com, the online news site for the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reported that full construction will soon get under way at the north end of Williams Boulevard at Lake Pontchartrain.

The facility, owned by Nevada-based Boyd Gaming, will include a 47,000-sq.-ft. gambling hall — twice the size of its water-based counterpart — and 10,000 sq. ft of convention space, alongside new restaurants, bars and a FanDuel Sportsbook.

“With the new set-up, we anticipate increased revenue [for] the residents of the city of Kenner, which will aid in capital projects,” Mayor Michael Glaser said. “This is a wonderful day in Kenner.”

Construction on the land-based gambling hall will take 12 to 15 months, NOLA.com learned, and is being built on what used to be a parking lot for riverboat patrons. A new parking surface, which customers can use during construction, is nearing completion.

The project is part of a larger push to rejuvenate the city’s Laketown area into a new entertainment destination. In August, the Jefferson Parish Council set aside more than $2 million to renovate the nearby boat launch on Lake Pontchartrain.

In addition, Las Vegas-based Atlantis Gaming announced plans last year for a new $450 million, 40-acre “total destination resort” in Laketown, with shops, condominiums and

gambling. The status of that development, however, is still up in the air, according to NOLA.com.

Donald Bailey, president and CEO of Atlantis Gaming, told the news source that the company is nearing the end of negotiations with Louisiana on securing a lake bottom lease. Much of the project would be built overwater on eight specially constructed concrete barges.

Glaser said that during an introductory meeting in September, officials with Atlantis Gaming told him the cost of the project had ballooned to $700 million. He questioned what sort of revenue source could support such an investment.

Nonetheless, local officials were upbeat at the Treasure Chest groundbreaking, with Kenner City Councilman Joey LaHatte calling it the “start of the revitalization of Laketown,” which also includes the Pontchartrain Center events hall.

Treasure Chest’s riverboat casino, first opened in 1994, has generated millions of dollars in revenue for Kenner, a western suburb of New Orleans, and serves as the primary funding source for the community’s long-term capital projects.

The Treasure Chest is among the first floating casinos to take advantage of a 2018 change in state law that allowed riverboats to move their operations onto land.

At the kickoff event, Keith Smith, president and CEO of Boyd Gaming, thanked Ronnie Johns, current chair of the Louisiana Gaming Control Board, for sponsoring that legislation during his time as a state senator. He also lauded city and parish leaders for their support.

“With this project, we’ll be taking the Treasure Chest to a new level, and with it, our investment in this great community,” Smith explained. 

Greenup Completes First of Three Storm Protection Projects Greenup Industries successfully completed the Stockpile 2 project for the West Shore Lake Ponchartrain Project (WSLPP) and is scheduled to complete Stockpile 1 in the summer of 2023.

The company was awarded two contracts for stockpiling clay by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): a 20-million-dollar contract in January 2020 and the second contract for 17.9 million in November 2020.

The USACE Awarded the third project to Greenup Cajun JV LLC. The joint venture, a 102.5 million dollar levee and drainage canal relocation contract, will build levees and drainage canals in Plaquemines Parish.

Greenup’s primary operations on the site have been excavating, processing and stockpiling clay from the Bonnet Carre Spillway in two areas. The clay will be used to construct 17.5 mi. of a levee system that offers a 100-year risk level reduction to the area between the Bonnet Carre spillway and Garyville, La. Greenup will have removed 1.5 million cu. yds. of clay from the spillway by the end of the two projects.

Greenup’s role in the Stockpile 2 project was to excavate clay from the Bonnet Carre Spillway for future levee construction and haul it in dump trucks to the assigned area.

Final testing of materials, coring samples of

the stockpile and as-builts are all that remains on this project,” said Steve Keen, Greenup’s construction manager. “This is a major milestone as it was Greenup’s first Corps of Engineers project of what is now three in total.”

Despite setbacks (The COVID-19 pandemic, 2020’s most active Hurricane Season since 2005 and Global Supply Chain Impacts), the Kenner-Based firm completed Stockpile 2 successfully.

“Our progress was hampered by rain, however, we continued to haul clay whenever the weather permitted,” Keen said, “On the days that we couldn’t haul, we worked on excavating the clay from the borrow pit in the spillway and processing the material, allowing it to air dry. We also worked on improving the haul roads in the spillway and at the stockpile location in LaPlace.”

“We are honored to be part of the project that provides much needed flood protection for the River Region. This project will provide peace of mind for the residents and business, especially with the increased number of named storms,” said Rodney Greenup, CEO of Greenup Industries.

During the Stockpile 2 WSLPP job, Greenup successfully stockpiled 460,000 cu. yds. of clay.

“The WSLPP represents the first major award toward building levees to protect the Laplace region. With these two projects and a recently awarded third project for Plaquemines Parish, the Corps can actually start building levees that will protect Laplace from future hurricanes like Ida. We are proud of how we overcame adversity to complete this job.

“We started as a general contractor and grew to self-performing some of the clay processing [on Stockpile 1]. To successfully complete the project on time, we self-performed the clay digging and processing on Stockpile 1, and 25 percent of the hauling.”

The WSLPP is a momentous construction undertaking in southeast Louisiana on the east bank of the Mississippi River in St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and St. James parishes. The 760-million-dollar project will span 18.5 mi. and include 17.5 mi. of levee, 1 mi. of T-wall, four pumping stations, two drainage structures and approximately 35 utility relocations.

The structure will span from the Bonnet Carre Spillway to the Mississippi River Levee near Garyville and provide storm surge protection and improved resilience on the western shores of Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas.

The West Shore Lake Pontchartrain Hurricane Protection project is a joint effort of CPRA and the New Orleans District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Pontchartrain Levee District, and St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and St. James parishes.

During the course of the WSLPP Project, Stockpile 1, Greenup Industries has successfully stockpiled nearly 300,000 cu. yds. of clay. This project is expected to be completed in the summer of 2023. The third project, The Mrytle Grove Hurricane level and drainage canal, is a 4-mi. first lift levee. This project is a joint venture with Greenup Cajun JV LLC. From levees and roads to industrial construction and maintenance, Louisiana-based Greenup Industries is behind countless projects across the Gulf South that point to the region’s growth and vibrancy. The company has expanded by leaps and bounds since its founding in 2012, becoming a leading construction contractor and provider of maintenance and third-party procurement services.

With operations in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alabama, Greenup Industries is poised for expansion into Florida soon, said founder and CEO Rodney Greenup. 

Global Partnership Behind $1.8B La. Port Terminal On Lower Mississippi Gov. John Bel Edwards has unveiled an historic publicprivate partnership between the state, the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA), and two global maritime industry leaders to build a $1.8 billion container facility on the Lower Mississippi River according to Louisiana Economic Development, or LED. The new Louisiana International Terminal (LIT) in St. Bernard Parish will be able to serve vessels of all sizes, dramatically increasing the gulf state’s import and export capacity and stimulating the creation of more than 17,000 new jobs statewide by 2050, according to estimates from Port NOLA. New Jersey-based Ports America, one of the continent’s largest marine terminal operators, and Geneva, Switzerlandbased Mediterranean Shipping Company (MSC), through its terminal development and investment arm Terminal Investment Limited (TiL), have committed $800 million toward the project.

LED noted on its website that in addition to the partners’ investment, the terminal construction will be supported by a substantial commitment from Port NOLA, as well as state and federal funding sources. The joint venture also will run the facility once it is open.

“This public-private partnership with the Port of New Orleans, TiL and Ports America has the potential to become one of the most impactful economic development projects in our state’s history,” Edwards said in his announcement. “It leverages the economic power of our greatest natural resource — the Mississippi River — and enhances Louisiana’s ability to attract new investment from companies competing in the global marketplace.”

He added that the state’s access to global markets expands opportunities for both urban and rural communities along the river. Calling the new St. Bernard Parish terminal a “worldclass logistics asset,” Edwards said that it would “benefit not only residents and businesses in south Louisiana, [but] advanced manufacturing, agribusiness, and energy workers all across the state.”

The project is currently in the design and permit phase of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) environmental review process. Barring unforeseen delays, construction is scheduled to begin in 2025, with the first ship berth to open in 2028, LED noted.

New Terminal to Service ‘Ultra-Large’ Container Ships LED noted that when construction is complete and the Louisiana International Terminal is fully operational, it will be able to annually handle two million TEUs, or 20-ft.

Equivalent Units, by taking advantage of the deeper 50-ft.

Lower Mississippi River Ship Channel and eliminating any height restrictions from river bridges. Through Port NOLA’s multimodal connectivity, the LIT should also strengthen Louisiana’s ability to attract distribution centers and logistics services.

Following an extensive site selection process and several feasibility studies, Port NOLA bought 1,200 acres of land in Violet, La. in 2020 — enough property to accommodate the terminal, value-added services and warehousing facilities, and provide a natural buffer for the nearby community. The latest design incorporates community feedback gathered over the last two years about traffic, drainage, and other

impacts on nearby homes and businesses.

Tom Van Eynde, TiL’s terminal investment director for North America, called the new terminal on the Lower Mississippi “a key facility in the Gulf of Mexico capable of handling ultra-large container vessels.”

“Today, the container trade in Port NOLA mainly consists of export cargo, making it an exception among U.S. ports, which are usually import-heavy,” he continued. “LIT will attract new container trades, providing access for local industry to cost-competitive shipping options. The development of this facility cements [our] commitment to further strengthen American infrastructure, making Port NOLA accessible for larger vessels and increasing its throughput capacity in a sustainable way that will bring measurable benefits to the community.”

Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain called the partnership between the entities behind the new St. Bernard Parish terminal “pivotal for the future growth in trading Louisiana agricultural commodities in the global marketplace. While bulk grains, grain products and edible oils are exported through the port, the dominant product is poultry, one of the largest agricultural enterprises in [the state], contributing over $1 billion to [its] economy.”

Each Investor Among Best in Global Shipping Port NOLA is a modern multimodal gateway for global commerce and an in-demand cruise port — delivering seamless, integrated logistics solutions between river, rail, and road transport. The deep-water port offers access to more than 30 major inland hubs such as Dallas, Memphis, Chicago, and Canada via 14,500 miles of waterways, six Class I railroads, and interstate highways. Its strategic alignment with the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad, a Class III connecting railroad, strengthens Port NOLA’s position as an integrated hub and supports its mission of driving regional economic prosperity.

A leader in technology-driven solutions, Jersey City-based Ports America is the largest marine terminal operator in the U.S. with operations in 70 locations and 33 ports nationwide.

The company covers a wide range of supply chain services including container, roll-on/roll off, breakbulk, military and cruise ship operations.

Terminal Investment Limited Sàrl (TiL) invests in, develops and manages container terminals around the world. It was founded in 2000 to secure container handling capacity in the major ports for MSC. Since then, TiL has grown and evolved to become one of the largest and most geographically diversified container terminal operators in the world, with more than 70 container terminals in 31 countries as well as several new projects under development.

Privately-owned Mediterranean Shipping Co. is known as one of the world’s leading container shipping lines and a leader in transportation and logistics. MSC has 675 offices across 155 countries and employs over 150,000 people. With access to an integrated network of road, rail and sea transport resources, the company prides itself on delivering global service with local knowledge. MSC’s shipping line sails on more than 260 trade routes, calling at 520 ports around the globe. 

Law Could Double, Triple Market for Battery-Electric Trucks TRUCKS from page 1

Freight trucks, critical to the U.S. economy, threaten public health and the environment. Semi-trucks are by far the biggest polluters, according to cleantechnica.com.

Accounting for 10 percent of trucks on the road, they are responsible for about half of all truck emissions.

The new IRA will create additional federal funding opportunities for trucks and charging stations. That includes a $40,000 tax credit for electric cargo trucks and a 30-percent credit for chargers.

Federal Relief The landmark law could double or triple the market for battery-electric trucks to as high as 38 percent of the fleet by 2030, claims cleantechnica.

Another $7.5 billion for chargers was included in last year’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. “The IRA’s incentives for heavy-duty electric trucks could not come at a better time,” according to research organization RMI. “The United States has more than four million heavy-duty trucks that travel over 150 billion miles and create over 260 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions [GHG] per year.”

The primary purpose of these incentives is to encourage buying and using zero- and low-emission vehicles, said the North American Council for Freight Efficiency (NACFE).

Trucking companies considering capital investments in electric vehicle technology have to wonder if subsidies will disappear before their fleet build-out is complete.

NACFE believes that with growth in subsidies combined with the slow adoption rate of commercial electric vehicles subsidies may be around for the foreseeable future With the IRA in place, the industry can decarbonize, potentially reducing its GHG emissions by 59 percent in 2035, nearly double what would happen without the IRA, said RMI. With the IRA tax credit, owning an electric truck is actually cheaper than owning a diesel one in most use cases, finds the research firm. In fact, urban and regional electric Regionally, organizations such as East Bay Community Energy are offering technical assistance to fleets, as well as loans of up to $3 million to support truck electrification.

Trucking companies will get some much-needed help from the federal Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which includes funding opportunities for the transition to zero-emission fleets.

trucks will become cost-superior to diesel ones as soon as 2023.

Trucks can travel 100,000 miles per year, and electrification creates significant fuel savings.

“Even many long-haul trucks that are the hardest to electrify could be transformed,” said RMI. Zero-emissions trucks are already market-tested and viable for many uses. NACFE has proven that trucks with routes less than 200 miles a day can be electrified now.

Adoption hinges on vehicle economics improving and

available depot and on-route charging extending the truck’s range.

Boom Prediction RMI analyzed the economics behind the electric vehicle adoption and how that affects fleet-wide transition.

“Once zero-emissions trucks become cheaper than their diesel counterparts, adoption follows based predominately on vehicle and infrastructure availability.”

The IRA will drive down the total cost of electric truck ownership approximately five years sooner than without the law. This stands for trucks traveling locally from 50 to 100 miles a day, regionally 100 to 250 miles per day round trip and long-haul trucks that travel 250 or more miles between cities, recharging enroute.

A fleet’s purchase decision can be based on environmental commitments, fueling access, financial resources and operating requirements.

“But for most fleets, cost is the driving concern,” said RMI. “Once electric trucks make the most economic sense for fleets, they increasingly adopt them.”

The IRA jumpstarts a virtuous cycle by bringing about cost parity a lot sooner. Truck owners can start adding charging to their depots and look for e-trucks that meet their operational needs.

In turn, manufacturers of both vehicles and chargers can bring new and better products to market. This, then, will further improve electric truck costs and operational viability, driving even more adoption, believes RMI. The firm projects the IRA will result in even greater electric truck sales.

“By 2030, more than 60 percent of new truck sales could be electric, depending on supply chain issues,” predicts the company.

At State Level To facilitate the conversion for trucking companies, California has instituted a Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Projects. The program has given out $700 million in rebates for approximately 6,000 zeroemission trucks.

Regionally, organizations such as East Bay Community Energy are offering technical assistance to fleets, as well as loans of up to $3 million to support truck electrification.

“Our organization previously helped fund a program to expand EV charging in Alameda County with the state Energy Commission,” said cleantechnica.

Further, utilizing the power market for charging, truck operators can generate maximum credits under California’s Low Carbon Fuel Standard and earn extra incentives to cut emissions.

The state of Michigan has established a grant program through the Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE).

“This is an exciting milestone into a future of innovation, cleaner air and reduced GHGs,” said Debra Swartz, fuel transformation specialist in EGLE’s materials management division.

The program allocates $30 million over three years to help replace qualifying diesel engines, vehicles, vessels and equipment.

The program emphasizes areas where air quality is a particular concern: designated nonattainment and maintenance areas for the National Ambient Air Quality Standards, urban counties, high asthma burden areas, and Environmental see TRUCKS page 69

FDOT Modernizes I-95/I-295 Interchange in Jacksonville FDOT from page 1

The project was let in 2016 to contractor Archer Western, with the expected completion for 2024. It is expected to cost $176.8 million. Multi-modal is a key principle for this transportation project.

“The Port of Jacksonville recently finalized operations to increase the depth of the channel to 47 feet, which means it can receive the larger container vessels from the Panama Canal,” said Hampton Ray, community outreach manager of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). “The work on I-295 means semis can carry loads from the port directly to railroads and industrial areas. Although the lanes are not just for truck traffic, it means a direct path for these vehicles and less changing lanes for car traffic. That adds up to safer travel.”

The Port of Jacksonville is the 14th largest container port in the United States and the second largest handler of vehicles in the country. Some four million passengers traveled through Jacksonville Airport during the last fiscal year, an increase of 33 percent over last year. This activity means a lot of strain on the I-95/I-295 interchange.

A segment of the project will include auxiliary lanes and ramp improvements to I-95 and the Airport Road interchange. Workers will be building 13 new bridges.

FDOT planners also have included local residents in this complex endeavor. Workers will be building a shared-use path for walkers, joggers and bicyclists that will roughly parallel I-95.

“The entire northside of the city is growing rapidly,” said Ray. “The capacity at the interchange is expected to double by 2024. With this new construction we should be ready to handle that.”

The importance for this type of traffic planning was demonstrated when an Amazon fulfillment center and River City Marketplace retail mall opened. Both these high-traffic locations were born after the freeway upgrade had already begun.

Building in Florida carries its own special set of challenges.

“We have hurricane plans in place,” said Ray. “We have had several major storms hit since the beginning of construc-

to some drivers.”

FDOT has established a strong partnership with CSX railroad and the contractor to ensure that the flow of freight would be affected as little as possible by the road work. The railroad tracks are parallel to U.S. 17, which travels north/south under I-295.

“With the railroad’s assistance, existing bridges are being demolished and will be replaced by four new bridges that meet current FHWA and railroad standards,” said Ray. The project required specialized equipment to complete some steps of construction. One contractor brought in a jack and bore machine to install a 300-ft. section of 0.5-in. steel, 54-in. diameter drainage pipe.

The design-build team used shotcrete/gunite to add interior walls to strengthen 325 ft. of 12-ft. by 10-ft. double barrel box culvert.

Because of the size and complexity of the I-95/I-295 project, it required an extraordinary amount of material: • 27,500 cu. yds. of concrete has been produced so far by an onsite batch plant. The project will require an estimated 82,000 cu. yds. for completion • 123,000 tons of asphalt • 24,000 tons of recycled asphalt — 20 percent of the mix design • 2,000 tons of steel • 2 million cu. yds. of soil moved or relocated to the site.

• 600,000 cu. yds. of soil imported.

The good news about this project is that it will have a positive impact on a multitude of transportation modes. The bad news is that it is extraordinarily complicated. The project requires three phases, 20 sub-phases and 125 traffic shifts to fully implement. Building the new bridges, ramps and newly configured lanes will happen while keeping the traffic flowing. Overhead signs are continually being updated so motorists can stay informed about how the traffic patterns will affect them.

“This project is less than 50 miles from the Georgia border and is an important highway corridor,” said Ray. “Many people are coming to visit beaches and the theme parks. We want to make this entrance to the state as safe and uncomplicated as possible.”  CEG

tion, but so far have not had any direct hits. We need to have our work not impede people who are fleeing from storms in other parts of the state.”

Storms aren’t the only problem. The water table is quite near the surface compared to what it is with road construction projects in other areas. So, planners and workers kept drainage issues in mind.

The contractor and workers have conducted a high-tech construction relay race for the new bridges.

“The work on these 13 bridges have required precise coordination,” said Ray. “Often workers have installed massive bridge spans in the night and turned the roads over to active traffic underneath the next day.”

Project designers managed to avoid the skyscraping flyovers.

“We changed the original design to shorter exits and merges,” said Ray. “Those large flyovers can be intimidating

Costs Come Into Play for Chattanooga Lookouts Ballpark With bids for a replacement of the Tyner Academy, a magnet high school in Chattanooga, soaring over early estimates, some city officials are wondering what high inflation and construction costs may mean for the planned Chattanooga Lookouts baseball stadium.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reported Dec. 17 that planners for the new Lookouts ballpark in the South Broad District of the city said they will engineer the stadium to fit the budget and manage costs, potentially leaving some non-essential parts for later as they eye work to start in the first half of 2023.

Ellis Smith, director of special projects for Chattanooga Mayor Tim Kelly, said in an email to the newspaper that even though the stadium is still in the early planning stages, there is a commitment to do “value engineering” as needed to meet the budget.

“Stadiums can be constructed in an extremely modular manner, and if costs increase beyond what is anticipated, engineers will be able to hold back on completing certain potential components, such as a beer garden or [a] kid zone, until new revenues come in to support those plans,” he explained.

Also, the city has indicated that if private developers interested in building projects around the stadium want to contribute money for construction, they can do so, according to the Chattanooga news source.

While the number of seats has not yet been set, a similar stadium operated by Lookouts’ ownership in Columbia, S.C., can hold 9,000 people. When it opened in 2016, that ballpark offered upgrades to fans in terms of seating with locations in the outfield, as well as food service and a team store, according to the Lookouts.

Stadium’s Scope Could Undergo

‘Massive’ Change Hamilton County Mayor Weston Wamp said in early December that he does not think the planned stadium in Chattanooga can be built for the estimated construction budget of $72 million.

“I think you’re probably going to see a massive change in the scope of the project,” Wamp told the Times Free Press. “But a stadium is not a school, and you can value engineer this project in a way that we are not willing to do at a public school.”

In November 2021, the Tyner Academy project was estimated to cost $68 million.

Once the breadth of that construction was decided and market conditions were reassessed in February 2022, the building costs had increased to nearly $78 million.

But the lowest bid recently came in at $96 million from Christman Co. in Knoxville.

School board members have attributed the increase to inflation and the rising costs of construction materials.

The Times Free Press reported that Wamp promised to fully fund the proposed bid for Tyner, noting the county can re-prioritize other projects to cover the extra costs.

Concerning the multiuse stadium, Wamp said he is working with Kelly and others to move the stadium project forward even though he was a skeptic of the facility, noting that he is wary about the merits of governmental subsidies or tax breaks for ballparks.

In addition, Wamp worries inflationary construction costs would increase the price of building the stadium and force either more government costs or a reduced plan for the facility.

Old Foundry Site Chosen as New Site for Ballpark Earlier this fall, Chattanooga’s then-chief financial officer Brent Goldberg said plans were formed to issue no more than $80 mil-

lion in bonds for the stadium on the old U.S. Pipe/Wheland Foundry tract even if costs rise due to interest rates or other expenses.

That figure includes construction along with $7.5 million for capitalized interest plus the cost of issuing the bonds, the Chattanooga news source reported.

“We’re not coming back for $82 million or $84 million,” said Goldberg at a meeting of the city-county Sports Authority panel in September (He has since left as CFO to take a similar post at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga).

Smith said the foundry site is larger, flatter and more flexible than the current landlocked AT&T Field in downtown Chattanooga where the Lookouts now play.

That will allow capital expansions and improvements far into the future to support anticipated growth and demand for enhanced amenities, he said.

Jim Irwin, the president of Atlanta-based New City Properties, hired as the foundry site’s primary developer, said planners will have a process of early pricing on whatever ideas they have about the stadium.

“We’re going to do everything to manage the budgets given,” he said.

Stadium’s Site Undergoing Adjustment Meanwhile, Perimeter Properties, the company that owns the 120-acre foundry site, may buy back some land it earlier sold to the state for a new Interstate 24 exit ramp to find the best footprint for the facility, the Times Free Press learned.

“We’re just now in the very inception of trying to site the ballpark,” Irwin explained.

“With a few more feet, it could open up opportunities for the stadium we’re interested in exploring.”

He said there are many ways planners can fit the stadium on the foundry property. Most concepts do not require Perimeter Properties to buy back any of the 2½ acres of the six

The new Lookouts’ stadium will be a ‘multi-use stadium’ meaning it could be used for concerts, community events, and a number of other things during the minor league baseball off season.

acres it had sold and was left unused by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT).

But, Irwin added, it is worth asking the question if buying some of that land could allow the use of more of the existing foundry buildings in the stadium’s final design.

Currently, Perimeter Properties is not sure if it will buy back any or all the acreage, but he noted, “We’re pretty sure it’s something in the middle.”

Rae-Anne Bradley, a spokesperson of TDOT, said her agency has been contacted about the idea, while noting the landowners will have to apply to the state to repurchase the property.

“That request will have to work its way through our excess land office and process,” she said in an email.

New Tax District Created to Finance Ballpark The city of Chattanooga and Hamilton County in 2022 approved the creation of a special tax district around the planned stadium to help finance it. Most of the new property tax revenue from the special district, Lookouts’ lease payments, sales taxes, parking revenues, and $1.4 million each from the city and county, will pay for debt service on 30-year bonds to be issued for the project.

Revenues from the tax district’s 470 acres around the stadium would pay for 58 percent of the project. The district includes not just the 120 acres of developable foundry property, but the South Broad area around it. Also included are several tracts south of Chattanooga Creek, including a site for a proposed greenway connecting to Alton Park.

City and county officials have said they initially expect $350 Stadium Designed to Host Multiple Events A groundbreaking for the proposed Chattanooga Lookouts stadium could take place in April, Goldberg said in September.

That timeframe would allow for a planned April 2025 opening of the ballpark, coinciding with the start of the team’s minor league baseball season.

Officials said that in addition to baseball, other events at the new stadium will include high school sports, soccer, concerts, and charity events. Lookouts’ officials said their existing AT&T Field was built in 2000 for minor league baseball only and is obsolete in terms of meeting current needs.

Also, the Lookouts are facing new guidelines by Major League Baseball for minor league stadiums, and Chattanooga could lose the franchise if those requirements are not, team officials told the Times Free Press. 

James River Makes Impact On Crusher, Screener Business Rubble Master photo

The Rubble Master RM 70GO! 2.0 is RM’s most compact mobile impact crusher available with screen attachment and return conveyor.

By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

When James River Equipment was founded in 1977 it was known primarily as a John Deere construction machine dealership, a successful affiliation that it still enjoys to this day. As the company grew, though, it brought on other product lines, including those that support the needs of its agriculture, turf and forestry customers.

Within the past 15 years, James River also began adding material processing systems, or MPS, to its multiple showrooms in Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and West Virginia. They include mobile impact, jaw and cone crushing equipment, screening plants and stackers made by Kleemann, a Wirtgen Group company.

“We have been a Wirtgen Group dealer since 2008 and continue to have Kleemann crushing and screening equipment in our rental and sales portfolio,” said James River Vice President John Grantier. “Kleemann has really been the lynchpin of our MPS product offering. Their diverse product line has made us a one-stop shop for many of our contracting and quarry customers.”

He explained that James River has worked hard to expand its MPS lineup and place a greater emphasis on that segment

of the equipment market.

“We felt there was a need to offer smaller and larger products for the different applications our customers are engaged in,” Grantier added. “Rubble Master, for one, offers a more compact line of impact crushers than Kleemann, and appeals to small contractors. Another product line we now have comes from Superior Industries, makers of wheeled portable and static crushers, screeners, conveyors and washing systems for our larger quarry customers. Ecoverse, distributors of Doppstadt trommel screens and slow-speed shredders, EcoStack stackers and Backhus windrow turners serve our environmental market.”

Steps Taken to Create MPS Infrastructure To expand the crusher and screener business, James River went out to find the best, most experienced people with MPS backgrounds — each one adept at helping customers with their MPS needs. Grantier refers to those professionals as “excellent problem solvers for our customers.”

Anyone that has ever worked with James River understands that the company puts product support first, he noted.

That extends to every facet of the business — sales, service, parts and rentals.

With the decision made to broaden its MPS business,

James River moved to create the proper infrastructure to make it a success.

“Once we had our central MPS team in place, our top priority was to make sure our technicians were trained to work on these machines and be ready to support our customers,” he said, noting the managerial staff is based at James River’s Greensboro, N.C., branch, a centralized location for the company. “Anyone can sell a product the first time, but it takes technicians and knowledgeable parts people to sell it again.”

The job of the MPS team members, Grantier said, is to consult with customers and examine the materials they want to process, followed by gathering data on what types of materials they are trying to produce.

“There is a machine for any application, including mulch, sand, granite, limestone, whatever it may be,” he said. “We will have a solution, but it is all about the qualifying process to understand what the customer wants to achieve.”

MPS Team Lends More Prestige to James River Kevin Holdson, backed by 15 years working in the crushing and screening equipment business, serves as the manager of James River’s team of MPS experts. see MPS page 50

Emphasis On MPS Offerings Key to James River’s Success MPS from page 45

“He came to us with a vision of what we needed to accomplish, plus the relationships and credibility to succeed with us,” Grantier said. “His priority when he joined James River was to bring on an MPS parts specialist in Ronnie Lanier, and an experienced MPS service team led by Anthony Fendley that really understands the business. Ronnie and Anthony bring instant credibility to James River as someone who understands and listens to our customers. They are driving the business for us.”

The company’s overall sales force is approximately 70 people strong, he added, and although some of them have various amounts of training when it comes to MPS products, Grantier said he primarily wants them to “find rental and sales opportunities, and once those opportunities arise, they will get Kevin and his team involved to follow up.”

To support James River’s new focus on the MPS business, Holdson implemented the use of regional customer service associates, or CSAs, who focus on the crusher/screener/stacker products. Grantier said that the dealership has a CSA in place in northern Virginia, another just west of Richmond, as well as professionals working in the Greensboro and Charlotte areas.

“There are now more team members that are checking on machines, and consulting with customers to make sure everything is running smoothly,” he said. “They will do onsite inspections with an app that they have on their cellular device and, additionally, work with the James River store managers and the mainline salespeople in their area to alert them to rental opportunities.”

James River’s companywide inventory of crushing and screening units is well stocked, with approximately 25 of each product currently available for sale or rent. Most transactions, he said, start off as rentals before becoming sales opportunities.

Service, Parts Key Elements of MPS Business Following a screener or crusher transaction, customers can take advantage of James River’s enhanced MPS service proficiency, Grantier said, with the key upgrade being the company’s hiring of more technicians with augmented training and certifications.

“We have well over 200 field trucks in the James River fleet — everything from lube trucks to full-service vehicles — and it really became critical for us to get certified trainers from Wirtgen Group to come in and conduct sessions,” he said.

“James River also sent many of our folks to Nashville for extra training and certification to make certain they were up to speed on servicing these machines. We already had a solid foundation as far as training, but it became a priority to get more people trained as quickly as possible to handle the [increased] MPS rental and sales activity.”

James River also is stocking more MPS parts on its shelves than ever before, Grantier said, due in large part to Lanier’s knowledge of the parts market.

To keep the dealership’s parts capabilities at an elevated level, he said, a trio of regional hubs was created to stock MPS components to further reduce downtime for its contractor and quarry customers. Those facilities are located in Winchester and Ashland, Va., as well as in Raleigh, N.C. “Our focus on the MPS business comes down to three things: Having product specialists that are consultants, offering excellent service after the sale, and making equipment parts readily available to keep equipment on the move,” he said.

“That is what our customers want.”

FAE Upgrades DML/SSL Forestry Mulcher for Skid Steers FAE is upgrading one of its most popular products on a global scale: the DML/SSL forestry mulcher for skid steers. All innovations are aimed at optimizing the head’s efficiency and productivity when combined with 50 to 75 hp skid steers.

First, the frame and push frame’s design has been redesigned to offer greater visibility in all working conditions. It’s one detail that will make a big difference in operator’s comfort and efficiency, with the ability to monitor the tasks at hand with more precision, the manufacturer said.

The rotors also are seeing big changes.

The DML/SSL can now mount a rotor with robust Mini C/3 teeth or with Mini BL blades, both ideal for making the most out of the efficient Bite Limiter technology.

This technology makes it possible to achieve more productivity in less time when mulching any kind of wood. The Bite Limiter rotor comes with special wear-resistant steel limiters that limit the teeth’s reach (bite) so that there is less power demand and a consistent working speed. The Bite Limiter technology also minimizes rotor stalling and optimizes

fuel consumption.

The new DML/SSL is available with FAE’s exclusive Sonic technology.

This Sonic system ensures that the skid steer and the FAE mulcher are completely aligned by automatically calibrating the mulcher’s parameters. Sonic continuously manages the mulcher’s hydraulic settings, for a significant boost in overall productivity of up to 30 percent.

The Sonic system also minimizes rotor stalling and shortens recovery time due to the quick recovery of the rotor’s rpm.

There is more that the new DML/SSL offers. The new Spike Pro counter blades ensure low power absorption and a finer granulometry of the processed material.

The new interchangeable and adjustable skids offer greater precision. The optional integrated oil cooler ensures the best performance even in hotter climates, according to the manufacturer.

The new DML/SSL is available in four models — DML/SSL/VT, DML/SSL/BL, DML/SSL/SONIC, DML/SSL/BL/SONIC — and in two widths for each model.

For more information, visit faegroup.com/en. 

The DML/SSL can now mount a rotor with robust Mini C/3 teeth or with Mini BL blades, both ideal for making the most out of the efficient Bite Limiter technology.

Caterpillar Launches Nursery, Landscape Attachments Caterpillar has introduced new attachments for its range of Cat skid steer loaders (SSL), compact track loaders (CTL) and compact wheel loaders (CWL). These purpose-built attachments cover multiple tasks, including the handling and scooping of trees, shrubs and bushes, removing and carrying stumps, and loading mulch.

The full range of new attachments feature durable construction for reliability in the field, and deeply serrated steps integrated into attachment design deliver secure footing for operators when entering and exiting the loaders.

Manual, Hydraulic Forks Cat nursery forks come in manual and hydraulic designs.

Both offer a hydraulic pivoting fork that allows the left fork to swing open to fit around multiple root balls. The right fork adjusts either manually or hydraulically, depending on the version, allowing contractors to pick and place desired trees

and plants and load/unload them quickly and efficiently.

With their 70.4-in. usable fork length, the new largecapacity nursery forks can hold up to three 28-in. root balls or one 54-in. root ball. The pivoting fork design delivers maximum opening for grasping large root balls, while the side shifting fork provides greater control and proper fit when handling different sized root balls.

The 25-degree, diamond tread plate fork provides a secure grip for maximum load retention, matching the cut angle of more B&B plants. Its integrated grab handle offers a secure contact point for machine entry/exit.

Pivoting Nursery Grapple The new Cat nursery grapple is well suited for handling ball and burlap trees and potted plants. Its paddle shape wraps around root balls ranging in size from 28 to 54 in. without damaging the root system or tree.

Offering better control and placement, the grapple’s pivoting design helps manipulate the load in numerous positions to reduce the need for manually handling heavy plants while placing them at the nursery or loading them for transport. The tool is capable of swinging 90 degrees to the left and right, and its ability to downward tilt reaching nearly 90 degrees at any point of rotation allows easy laying of material for loading.

Mulch Bucket The new 1.0 cu. yd. mulch bucket loads mulch into pickup trucks and tight spaces. With its narrow, 56-in. width, the mulch bucket comfortably loads material inside the bed of

most pickup trucks without concern for contact or damage.

Minimizing waste, its smaller profile delivers the necessary clearance to load trucks without material spillage. Its 1yd. measurement is lasered into the side of the bucket, allowing customers to be confident they are getting a full load. The design’s adjustable machine interface provides proper ground contact with different hinge pin heights, so it works effectively throughout the range of Cat SSL, CTL and CWL machines.

Easily Handle Stumps The stump bucket for Cat SSL and CTL models is purpose designed for removing and carrying tree stumps. Long and narrow floors allow for easy digging around and below tree and large shrub root balls. Its serrated side plates easily saw through stubborn roots, while replaceable teeth ensure long service life with a BHL style that can be changed to fork or pick style teeth. Heavy steel construction withstands twisting and prying in the tough jobs for long life reliability.

Scoop Trees The Cat tree scoop efficiently handles shrubs and small trees at nursery sites and in landscaping applications.

Capable of digging and scooping up to a 36-in. diameter, the scoop easily transports or transplants trees and other materials. The spade profile easily digs into the ground, and a flattened tip cuts roots for easy tree removal. Welded gussets and thick plates lend to its rugged design and increased durability.

Curry Supply Marks 90 Years in Business With New Facility Curry Supply photo

CEG photo

Currently, Curry Supply has facilities throughout the Keystone State, including its corporate headquarters in Altoona, Pa.

Celebrating a milestone of 90 years in business, Curry Supply Company continues to set the pace in commercial truck manufacturing, showing no signs of slowing down.

Known for its extensive range of service vehicles and related equipment, the company also is gaining attention for its considerable increase in production capacity.

Already one of the largest manufacturers of commercial service trucks and rail equipment across the United States, its recent move to Hollidaysburg, Pa., and opening of a second facility in Houston, Texas, has increased its manufacturing and service operations exponentially.

Founded by Lyonel Ritchey in 1932 as a general store in Martinsburg, Pa., Curry Supply Company is now in its third generation of ownership and management by the Ritchey family. Current president and owner Jason Ritchey joined the company as a full-time employee in 2000, ushering in a new era of success and subsequent growth.

Continued success led to expansion as Curry Supply’s footprint grew significantly, spanning coast to coast across the United States. Currently, Curry Supply has facilities throughout the Keystone State, including its corporate headquarters in Altoona, Pa. The continued success prompted westward expansion, adding two facilities in Texas and

another in Arizona to enable Curry to bolster its service to its clients along the west coast.

Curry Supply Company’s equipment lines include, but are not limited to, cone trucks, highway safety truck-mounted attenuator trucks, dump truck bodies, flatbed trucks, metro TMA trucks, mechanic/service trucks, lube skids, lube trailers, fuel trucks, lube trucks, propane service trucks, vacuum trucks, on and off-road water trucks and tanks and winch trucks. In addition, the company carries a line of demountable/hook lifts from Stellar Industries and industrial carrier trucks from VersaTran.

Since its start, Curry Supply Company’s core manufacturing and corporate headquarters were located in Martinsburg, Pa. After three significant expansions in the Martinsburg location, the company had reached the limits of its ability for further growth necessitated by marketplace demand. In

November 2021, the company packed up and moved to its new facility in Hollidaysburg, Pa. — with a length exceeding half a mile; it was once the largest locomotive production and repair shop in the world.

With extensive renovations and updates at the new facility, Curry Supply's team completed the move from Martinsburg in four days of long hours and late nights. The move significantly increased the company’s manufacturing space to more than 500,000 sq. ft.

The new facility increases production efficiencies by implementing lean and flow technologies and features the latest machinery and components. Curry also has added several blast booths, paint booths and coating booths. Major expansion and upgrades are under way at the Curry Supply Houston facility in Hockley, Texas. see CURRY page 68

Curry Supply Sees Success With Branches Across U.S. CURRY from page 66

Curry Supply Company’s continued success is tied directly to its ability to embolden the success of its customers.

Ritchey attributes the company’s phenomenal growth to listening to customers, understanding their needs and working to create logical solutions. In doing so, Curry Supply has evolved from an equipment dealer and distributor to a mainstream manufacturer.

“We cover every state and, to provide constant and comprehensive coverage, we’ve made sure to position sales personnel in every market we cover,” said Ritchey. “Our goal is for all our facilities to be equipped with duplicate capabilities. We’re focused on bringing a consistent level of service excellence and a best-of-class range of equipment to all our customers.”

Regarding the current business environment, Curry Supply Company has elected to address the challenges headon and lean into the rebound Ritchey is confident is coming.

“We’re all in the same boat, dealing with labor shortages, supply chain issues and rising material costs,” he said. “At Curry Supply Company, we see these as improvement opportunities instead of roadblocks. Part of that approach is positioning people with the skills and experience to overcome obstacles and work around challenges.”

To conquer some of those obstacles, Curry Supply brought in key personnel experienced in areas that tie directly into the company's growth plan.

“Last year we added on a senior director of supply chain and a vice president of operations who, combined, add over 45 years of industry specific experience and expertise to our team,” said Ritchey. “Those key additions provide us an extensive increase in experience when it comes to supply chain/procurement management and advanced manufacturing, ensuring that excellence in quality and efficiency remain central to Curry’s customer value proposition and growth

strategy.”

Keeping on top of the supply chain also is necessary for Curry Supply to advance.

“Rather than wait to exhaust allocations, we work proactively with our suppliers while also searching out additional sources for equipment, materials and supplies,” he said.

“Constant communications with our customers and vendors, providing information and updates, and receiving valuable feedback is critical to the process.”

As Ritchey looks to the future, he remains optimistic, seeing technology as among the driving forces behind both opportunities and solutions.

“There’s so much to build and enhance. The growth and increased demand for alternate energy sources will require a stronger grid. At the same time, ongoing infrastructure development and maintenance requirements call for 10-to-15-year projects such as airport construction and building and improving the domestic rail system.”

For Curry Supply Company, technology impacts every facet of the company’s operations. One area where technology has played a vital role in communications.

“Customer expectations have ramped up,” said Ritchey.

“The nature of the business calls for constant access and immediate response. Communications technology provides the ability of real-time personal contact regardless of the hour or immediate automated response when appropriate.”

Keeping up with training technology also is a priority for Curry Supply; staying on top of it is necessary to attract and keep top employees.

“Technology is playing a growing role in attracting new workers to the trades,” he said. “Virtual reality is already being employed in the training and certification process.

With VR, an individual can learn and hone a skill like welding in a safe and rewarding environment. The upcoming generation of workers is already adept at video games, and VR training provides a natural progression."

Ritchey also sees equipment continuing to evolve.

“With advances in engineering, design, and increased battery life, electronic vehicles and machines are becoming more mainstream. We plan on being active participants, and Curry Supply Company will debut a new EV at ConExpo in March.”

With a firm foundation centered around controlled growth, a proactive and progressive eye to the future and a more than capable group of hands and minds, Curry Supply is primed for the next 90 years of rapid growth.  CEG

Feds Incentivize Purchase of Zero-, Low-Emission Vehicles TRUCKS from page 32

Justice Areas, according to the state.

Taking advantage of the program is transportation company CMAC. The company will invest in an electric truck to haul auto parts within Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties, all of which are priority areas.

“We really felt that this made sense for us in more ways than one,” said Scott Christie, CMAC president. “We believe we are well prepared to move down this road with our partners involved.”

He said servicing the automotive companies has given the contractor a firsthand look at the progress and movement in the electric arena. CMAC will scrap the diesel truck being replaced, maximizing the impact of the emissions offset.

The state reports that the replacement should reduce GHGs of nitrogen oxide (NOx) by nearly one metric ton and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) by nearly 597 metric tons over the vehicle lifespan.

In Tennessee, the Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC) has awarded 24 organizations more than $9 million in grants to replace medium and large freight trucks. Under the Medium Truck Grant Program, awardees will replace a total of 35 diesel trucks with vehicles represent-

ing a mix of power technologies.

The list includes 10 new diesel trucks, two all-electric, 14 hybrid, eight propane and one compressed natural gas.

Recipients of grants in the Large Truck program will replace a total of 42 diesel trucks with 33 new diesel, one all-electric, one hybrid and seven compressed natural gas trucks.

Calculating Investment The EPA has created a list of tools and resources available to truckers to understand what’s involved in transitioning to electric technology.

Nationally, the agency’s Diesel Emissions Reduction Act (DERA) Program funds grants and rebates that protect human health and improve air quality.

ChargePoint’s Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Incentives includes a list of tax credits, rebates and grants provided by governments and utilities for the purchase of and investment in commercial electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.

The DOE’s Alternative Fuels Data Center (AFDC) maintains a comprehensive list of federal and state laws and incentives regarding transportation-related topics, including electric vehicles.

The EPA site offers fleet managers access to calculators for figuring cost of ownership.

Atlas Public Policy’s Assessing Financial Barriers to the Adoption of Electric Trucks features a dashboard tool that explores analysis results.

NACFE offers a guidance report, which discusses the total costs of ownership of medium-duty electric trucks. It also addresses the market status, battery technology, regulatory barriers and the power grid.

The organization’s Excel-based cost of ownership calculator compares investment in diesel or gasoline trucks against battery electric alternatives.

Drivetrain supplier Dana provides similar calculators for diesel and electric vehicles.

Resource information is plentiful, as well.

The University of California has produced an overview of hydrogen fuel cell electric, catenary electric, and dynamic inductive charging technologies.

NACFE has available its Annual Fleet Fuel Study — North American Council for Freight Efficiency (2020), which analyzes the adoption of various fleet efficiency products and practices.

A report by the California Electric Transportation Coalition and the Natural Resources Defense Council compares emis-

sions reductions and the total cost of ownership for various alternative fuel technologies.

The U.S. DOE has created a home page for its Vehicle Technologies Office. Links to research for various technology areas, including batteries, charging and electric vehicles, can be found there. NACFE also has a library of guidance reports on the electric truck market. It features business models as well as topics on charging infrastructure and barriers to adoption.

The International Council on Clean Transportation publishes research on clean transportation across all modes, sectors and vehicle technologies. University of California-Davis’ Sustainable Freight Research Center maintains a publications library. The center studies the decarbonization of freight, including transitions to electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

The Luskin Center for Innovation — Transportation at UCLA develops policy recommendations and research to help advance a transition to zero-emission transportation. Topics include vehicle and truck electrification, shared mobility, grid and infrastructure development, accessibility and safety.  CEG

Grote Adds Accomplished Members to Leadership Team Grote continues its refocus on creating and leading safety-related innovation with the addition of three experienced members to its leadership team.

Kent Bode has been promoted to vice president of sales and marketing for the U.S. sales team, while Cesar Perez-Bolivar transitions to take over leadership responsibilities of Grote Electronics, and Mel Mendoza has been hired as the new vice president of operations, North America.

“Facing challenges head-on with strong leadership has been instrumental to Grote’s legacy over the past 120 years,” said John Grote, chief operating officer of Grote Industries.

“These three leaders all embody that, two of them with more than 30 years of industry experience, and each with the ability to rise to the occasion and meet our customers’ ever-changing needs.”

Bode started at Grote in 1997, serving in various engineering capacities as a product manager, regional manager and director of OEM sales. Bode’s leadership was instrumental in Grote Industries winning several prestigious business awards. He has had lifelong exposure to the lighting and electrical industries, growing up in his family’s electrical contracting business.

Bode will lead the U.S. sales team, the

marketing team and the business development team in his new role.

Perez-Bolivar has been with Grote for nearly a decade, working on research, engineering and development, while focusing on Grote’s focus on safety, productivity, security and cost savings. He’s long been an expert in material selection, design of experiments and testing, most recently serving as the director of engineering, leading Grote’s headlamp engineering and manufacturing division in Madison, Ind.

Mendoza is new to the Grote team, bringing more than 35 years of experience as a global business leader working for a diverse group of manufacturing companies. His track record of leading and building teams at Plymouth Tube Company, Acuity Brands Lighting, Emerson Electric, Danaher Controls and Zenith Electronics, positions him as an expert to lead the manufacturing and supply chain for all of Grote’s North American facilities in Madison, Waterloo and Monterrey.

“Grote has always been known for our innovation, ethical business practices and a strong commitment to providing quality products and service,” Grote said. “As we expand the company’s vision to make the world safer and smarter through connected visibility, I believe the broad experiences and successful leadership styles of our new management team put us in a position to focus on the future.”

Bryan Auction Company to Hold Its EIS: Mississippi River First Annual IEDA Sale in Orlando Diversion Project to Affect Navigation RIVER from page 8

ject’s Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).

On Feb. 17, 2023, Bryan Auction Company will be hosting its first annual IEDA (Independent Equipment Dealers Association) Orlando Live Auction.

The purpose of this sale, billed as “IEDA Florida Live Heavy Equipment & Transportation Auction,” is to help grow and support IEDA, according to Bryan Auction Company.

“We hope while everyone is in Florida for the warm weather that this event and auction becomes a tradition for years to come,” said Doug Bryan, president of Bryan Auction Company and Bryan Heavy Equipment Inc. “From buying and selling at the auction to the keynote speakers in our industry and the convention hall, the Orlando IEDA event will be a must if you are in the heavy equipment business.”

Doug Bryan is president Bryan Auction Having consigned equip- of ment from members only Company and Bryan makes this auction a “legiti- Heavy Equipment Inc. mate exclusive event that buyers can feel confident coming from trusted names,” Bryan added.

A representative from Bryan Auction Company will be reaching out to IEDA members and will be following up, as needed.

Bryan said anything an IEDA consigns will be well advertised through a host of construction publications, including Construction Equipment Guide, as well as through ProxiBid and Machinery Trader and equipment facts and all social media platforms.

Bryan Auction Company is headquartered in Oelwein, Iowa, and also has a facility in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Midland, Texas, area.

For more information, call 319/283-2345 or visit www.bryanauction.com/.

Members of the IEDA are committed to displaying leadership in the industry by making ethical decisions and sound judgement, by making accurate claims to customers and by utilizing the products and services offered to them by Associate Members.  CEG (All photos courtesy of Bryan Auction Company.)

Murky Picture for Land-Building The EIS, though, paints a murky picture both for the projected land-building impacts of the diversion and for coastal Louisiana in general. Construction of the project will result in about a 900-acre net loss of land, with the project having a footprint of 1,376 acres, which will be partially offset by 467 acres of land restored by material moved during construction.

Once in operation, the diversion will build or sustain an estimated 6,260 acres of wetlands over the first 10 years and 13,400 acres by 2070, or just under 21 sq. mi. The EIS noted that over that same timeframe, though, the Barataria region will likely continue its rapid loss of land, with acreage built by the diversion accounting for a quarter of remaining wetlands within less than 50 years.

The project also is expected to undermine the wetlands that make up the birdfoot-shaped delta near the mouth of the river. The EIS projects a loss of 3,000 acres in the delta by 2070, which the study directly attributes to “permanent, moderate, adverse impacts” from the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion.

The birdfoot delta is the region below Head of Passes that has seen more than 10,000 acres of land built in just the last decade due to beneficial use of dredged material pumped from the Mississippi River Ship Channel.

Navigation Impacts Also Ahead In addition, the EIS noted that the Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion will have multiple and permanent impacts on navigation in the Mississippi River. Shallow-draft vessels can expect safety impacts during construction due to the proposed use of a cofferdam for the river intake system. Once operational, crosscurrents at the structure will create “moderate, intermittent but permanent, adverse impacts” for towboats, and “some congestion may be unavoidable and could cause transit delays.”

The project will most likely cause “adverse increases in dredging requirements” for portions of the Mississippi River Ship Channel, both near the structure and below Head of Passes and in Southwest Pass “due to project-induced changes to typical shoaling patterns and locations,” according to the EIS. Despite those dire assessments, Louisiana officials, led by Gov. John Bel Edwards, swiftly praised the announcement from the USACE, and touted the merits of the project.

“Today is a monumental day for the state of Louisiana,” proclaimed Edwards. “The Mid-Barataria Sediment Diversion is a first-of-its-kind environmental infrastructure project that will exist in our own backyard to serve areas experiencing some of the highest rates of land loss in the world. The project also represents a major step forward [in fixing damage] suffered by our coastal estuaries as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Communities we feared could be removed from the map in 50 years will instead see thousands of acres of wetlands in the future that will provide them with natural and sustainable protection.” 
