middle of our source selection process for our final contract for the entire project, which we’re calling the approach walls and decommission contract. That is our close-out contract to get this lock to fully operational status. We’re currently expecting that to be the end of 2027 and then to close out the entire project.”

The new lock will replace an existing lock built in 1940. At 60 ft. wide see LOCK page 64

Steady as She Goes in 2025?

Construction Industry Optimistically Preparing for New Year Ahead

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The construction industry is “cautiously optimistic” going into the new year. Infrastructure makes up the largest market sector and it’s expected to grow in 2025. And while growth will continue, it’ll be incremental heading into the fourth year of the federal IIJA, now that many of the projects launched under this act have started or are under construction.

ARTBA predicts public highway, pavement and street construction will grow by 8 percent to $128.4 billion next year. see OUTLOOK page 28

After three years of IIJA projects, states have increased revenues to meet federal project funding.

Hiring Construction Workers Starts With Right Candidates Hiring and retaining good construction employees, and finding skilled, reliable workers is an important focus point, but also a real challenge for employers.

Turnover rates remain high, job seekers have increased expectations, labor shortages persist and the employers feel the pressure to meet project deadlines with a weakened workforce.

Organizational development veteran Larry Kokkelenberg has more than 40 years of experience coordinating workforce efforts with employers. He trained more than 200,000 leaders, authored two books and has witnessed firsthand the costly consequences of hiring mistakes. During ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023, he shared valuable insights and strategies to attract top talent and build a resilient workforce. Those insights are available in a free downloadable e-book from ConExpo-Con/AGG. Cost of Wrong Hire Recruiting the wrong person for a skilled construction role can bring long-term challenges, including high turnover, increased training costs and project delays.

According to Kokkelenberg, effective hiring starts with identifying the traits and habits of successful employees to create a framework for interviewing and selecting ideal candidates. This backward approach to recruitment, outlined in the free online e-book, Hiring and Retaining Good Employees, helps companies attract individuals with the right technical skills, safety competencies and a mindset for teamwork.

When companies hire the right people, they not only reduce turnover, but also foster programs where existing employees recommend candidates from their networks.

“When employees communicate to their friends and family about good pay, great management and growth opportunities, they help develop referral programs,” said Kokkelenberg. “This method of getting the word out to local candidates is particularly useful and fills open employment opportunities with quality candidates.”

Leveraging Outreach, Training Kokkelenberg stressed the importance of proactive outreach to find qualified talent.

Initiatives such as summer internships, partnerships with community colleges, soliciting the Department of Labor, and working with the Department of Defense SkillBridge Program for transitioning service members, helps employers build pipelines of skilled workers. Digital platforms, local job fairs and community partnerships also play a role.

However, the construction industry saw extraordinary labor shortages throughout

2024. According to the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics, in September 2024 the unemployment rate was 3.7 percent, and the construction industry had 288 thousand open positions.

In a recent Workforce Survey Analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), 94 percent of respondents reported having openings for skilled labor positions in the construction industry, a 9 percent increase from 2023.

“It’s hard to get the exact experience you want today,” Kokkelenberg said. “More organizations will need to invest in training, once they hire the right person.”

Further, the AGC survey noted that 42 percent of respondents increased spending on training and development. While 61 percent reported increased pay rates for hourly skilled labor, just within the last year. These workforce strategies developed while 62 percent reported that available labor is simply not qualified to fill skilled roles in the competitive construction industry.

Employee Retention Starts With Employer Accountability Once the right people are hired, retention becomes a shared responsibility.

Kokkelenberg argued that salaries, worklife balance, job security and leadership

opportunities are critical to keeping employees engaged.

“If employees see no growth opportunities or feel undervalued, they’ll look elsewhere,” he said.

Retention also requires investment in training that goes beyond basic requirements. Employees who feel valued and see that their employer is invested in their development are more likely to stay.

“Training should show employees they are part of the company’s future,” Kokkelenberg added. “It’s not just about compliance; it’s about demonstrating their worth.”

Continuous Recruitment: Strategy for Stability Even with positions filled, Kokkelenberg advised companies to maintain an ongoing recruitment strategy to prepare for unexpected turnover.

“You are hiring and looking for good people all year long,” he said. “Even when all your crews are together, you’re still looking for good people.”

Employers must also address internal factors, such as pay scales, work environments and opportunities for advancement, to minimize turnover and build a stable workforce.

The construction industry’s labor shortages remain a pressing issue, but as outlined in “4 Steps To Hiring and Retaining Good Employees,” the right strategies can make all the difference. From effective interviewing practices to strong onboarding programs, employers can create a workforce that not only meets today’s demands but drives long-term success.

About Larry Kokkelenberg Kokkelenberg holds a doctorate with dual specializations in clinical and industrial psychology. He brings a multifaceted background as a successful entrepreneur, having founded and led several companies, including an asphalt paving firm. In addition, he has extensive experience as an organizational consultant, working across both private and federal sectors, including serving on a White House council.

He also is a published author, contributing to the field of organizational development with two notable books. OD for the Accidental Practitioner, provides guidance for individuals who find themselves unexpectedly navigating the field, while its companion volume, OD for the Intentional Practitioner, offers a strategic approach for those pursuing organizational development as a deliberate career path. 

Southern Road & Bridge LLC has evolved significantly since its inception in 2012. Initially focusing on bridge painting and repair, the company has expanded to more than 350 employees across multiple states. In Tarpon Springs, Fla., Project Manager Dallas Fortner has built a 25-member team that focuses on dirt work and road jobs.

“We tackle a wide range of tasks such as digging ponds, clearing land and setting pipes, often for emergency road repairs and water management in areas prone to flooding,” said Fortner.

Unlike the rest of the company, which undertakes projects nationwide, Fortner’s division primarily operates within Florida, handling critical contracts in Pasco and Osceola counties. This specialization and local focus allow Fortner’s team to execute projects with high efficiency and expertise.

The crew’s success and growth are attributed to solid management, a skilled crew, and robust support from the company’s owner, Luke Pappas, especially when it comes to

acquiring equipment.

“The owner of the company, Luke Pappas, believes in us,” said Fortner. “Whatever we need, he’s on board to get us, like the Terramac RT14R.” Terramac Versatility Southern Road & Bridge’s new Terramac RT14R rotating rubber-tracked crawler carrier, which is a specialized machine essential for projects in wet or hard-to-access areas, has become a vital asset for the company.

Fortner explained the necessity of the machine, noting, “We initially found the Terramac machine while searching for different options to move material back and forth along a creek. The job location limited the size of machine we could

use. When we found the RT14R with 360-degree rotation capabilities, we recognized it would be the perfect fit for us.”

The Terramac RT14R’s unique ability to rotate 360 degrees without turning the tracks makes it invaluable for navigating tight spaces. This capability not only improves efficiency but also minimizes environmental impact by reducing ground disturbance.

“With this machine, you’re able to drive down the creek all the way to the excavators, and then it swivels all the way around again without turning its tracks,” said Fortner. “You get loaded, and you drive right back out without tearing up the ground or leaving a huge footprint.”

Current projects utilizing the Terramac RT14R include a significant endeavor in Zephyrhills, where Southern Road & Bridge is desilting a 44-acre pond. The machine’s low ground pressure allows it to operate effectively in wet conditions, where traditional dump trucks would struggle. see SOUTHERN page 34

Construction and safety professionals converged on the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, Nov. 22 for the state’s inaugural Trench Safety Summit, hosted by the North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA).

Participants arrived in the early morning, ready to reach one common goal: to help prevent a tragedy in the workplace by learning more about trench safety and shoring equipment and practices.

“For most contractors, jobsite safety is a primary objective of their daily work, but unfortunately, excavation safety is often overlooked,” said Event Coordinator Jason Figueredo, Florida district manager at National Trench Safety. “This summit is a way to connect Florida contractors with experts in trench safety, and for them to see how trench shoring equipment can be properly used to save lives,” Figueredo said.

The day-long summit offered cross-training in both the Fairground Pavilion and using open air excavation/trenching equipment stations. Traditional training in the Pavilion featured Trench Accidents and Statistics, Pipe Plug Safety, and Understanding Manufacturer’s Tabulated Data. Attendees also received an OSHA Activity Update.

Excavation/trenching equipment station training, led by industry safety instructors, included: • Proper Use of Trench Boxes • Proper Use of Modular Aluminum Trench Shields • Proper Use of Hydraulic Vertical Shores • Fall Protection & Other Safety Products The event also featured a Trench Rescue Simulation by the Orange County Fire Rescue team.

NAXSA member companies who organized and cohosted the event were National Trench Safety, Sunstate Equipment, Sunbelt Rentals, United Rentals Trench Safety and Cherne Industries.

“This Trench Safety Summit is an investment in trench safety awareness training,” said Ryan Jaffe, president of NAXSA. “The employers who have sent their workers to this summit have shown they care about the importance of trench safety and want to keep their workers safe and have everyone go home at night.”

Sponsors and exhibitors at the event included BTS-Beaver Technology Services, USF Safety Florida Construction, Arcosa Shoring Products, Florida Chamber Safety Council, Stemar Equipment, D.H. Charles Engineering, Frontline Fall Protection, Industrial Safety Products, NUCA Centra Florida, Sunshine 811, the University of Southern FloridaOSHA Training Institute Education Center, Plug Technologies, Inc., Pacific Shoring Products and Synergy Equipment Pumps.

NAXSA was created to promote the safe and efficient use of excavation shoring practices. It represents manufacturers, engineers, rental companies/distributors, universities/educators, associates/suppliers and government agency representatives who share the common goal of maintaining safety in the excavation shoring industry with the result of zero deaths and injuries. 

NCDOT Plans Major Road Upgrades On Wilmington Roads A well-traveled roadway in the coastal port city of Wilmington, N.C., will be improved due to a recently awarded contract by the state Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the agency announced Dec. 18.

More than 2.5 mi. of Gordon Road between Market Street/U.S. Highway 17 and Interstate 40 will be widened to four lanes with a raised median and some reduced conflict intersections that increase safety. The improvements include a multiuse path and sidewalk that span the length of the project, along with upgrades to the utilities, the drainage system and the traffic signals.

NCDOT awarded the $50.8 million construction contract to S.T. Wooten Corp., a Wilson, N.C., builder, which is expected to begin work at the site next spring.

The project is slated to be substantially complete, with all lanes fully opened, by the summer of 2029.

Major Upgrade to MLK Parkway/Market Street Junction Still Years Away Nearby, the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Market Street in Wilmington will likely see the beginning of a complete overhaul by NCDOT before the

end of the decade.

The junction, which connects two of the busiest thoroughfares in the city, has long been plagued by major traffic congestion. As Wilmington and its surrounding areas continue to grow, the project to replace the intersection with an overpass is one of several transportation construction efforts, including the Gordon Road upgrade, designed to accommodate the traffic increase.

The Wilmington StarNews on Dec. 19 noted that while it will still be several years before anyone will be able to drive on the overpass, there are many key steps in the process that will impact residents.

Construction of the MLK Parkway/Market Street intersection improvement is projected to start in the fall of 2029, NCDOT Communications Officer Andrew Barksdale told the StarNews, and will likely take five years to complete.

Additionally, its rights-of-way should be obtained in 2028, according to the agency’s State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

In the road junction’s new iteration, a bridge will allow traffic on MLK Parkway to flow freely over Market Street. Plans call for the intersection to be transformed into a single-point urban interchange and also will

include a two-phase signal light system for Market rather than the eight phases that drivers must currently sit through.

Beyond the intersection itself, Barksdale said a raised median will be installed to turn the stretch of Market Street east from the CSX rail line to Station Road into a divided highway with breaks to accommodate left turns and U-turns. Sidewalks will be maintained or added, as well, on both sides of Market Street in the project’s footprint.

The total funds needed to build the project are $55 million, according to STIP. Capital improvement projects included in the program are largely funded through motor fuel and highway use taxes.

Barksdale added that a meeting to discuss the project is tentatively planned for next May and will further determine the design of the improvements planned for Market Street.

Intersection Upgrade Has Been in Works for Years The MLK Parkway/Market Street intersection overhaul was originally announced in 2017 with crews expected to be on site in 2020, but due to a lack of funding, the enterprise was delayed and has remained so until now.

Alternative designs were presented to the public at a meeting back in 2017, including an option that did not require a bridge. Those folks that attended the forum largely favored the single-point design, which suggested minimal environmental and residential impact, according to the Wilmington news source.

NCDOT’s State Transportation Improvement Program, which oversees more than 2,000 projects statewide, prioritizes projects based on several factors, including need and funding. Many large undertakings, such as the replacement of Wilmington’s Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, experience shifts in prioritization based on available funds.

The MLK Parkway/Market Street overpass is only one part of NCDOT’s long-term improvement plan for Market Street, Wilmington’s main avenue into the downtown along the Cape Fear River.

Among other works that NCDOT has on the drawing board are improvements to the intersection of Oleander Drive and College Road. Upgrades to the junction, one of the busiest in Wilmington, are currently funded for preliminary engineering only. The venture still needs over $38 million before construction can begin, according to STIP. 

Bobcat’s Season of Giving Includes Variety of Charitable Acts Bobcat Company is celebrating the season of giving as the organization and its employees wrap up several initiatives aimed at giving back and providing emergency disaster relief to local communities.

Doosan Bobcat Community Days In early fall, Bobcat employees around the world — including throughout North America — gave back by volunteeringin the communities where they live and work as part of its biannual Doosan Bobcat Community Days, a companywide volunteer effort.

“Just as Doosan Bobcat’s teams are committed to empowering customers and each other to accomplish more, we are also committed to building stronger communities and a better tomorrow,” said Scott Park, Doosan Bobcat CEO and vice chairman. “By volunteering our time and talents, our employees around the world continue to make an impact on the communities where we live and work.”

To date, more than 1,350 employees across Doosan Bobcat’s global footprint have volunteered more than 5,600 hours to support nearly 100 community projects this year.

Employee volunteers carried out a variety of activities, including picking up roadside litter, planting trees and helping nonprofits with landscaping and facility tasks. In applicable projects, volunteers used a fleet of Bobcat equipment — such as compact loaders, excavators, compact tractors, mowers and more — to make tough jobs easier, while increasing efficiency and productivity.

Hurricane Disaster Relief In late fall, Bobcat employees and dealers deployed Bobcat equipment, attachments and supplies to communities in several states impacted by Hurricanes Helene and Milton.

Bobcat also donated $885,000 worth of equipment, including forklifts, portable generators and light towers, to The Salvation Army to support hurricane relief efforts in the Southeast United States.

Bobcat Fall Giving Campaign Bobcat and its employees also recently wrapped up their fall giving campaign, donating more than $189,000 to 139 nonprofit organizations across the United States.

Through this initiative, Bobcat supports employees by matching their donations dollar for dollar (up to $3,000 per person) to further amplify employees’ generosity toward eligible, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations.

“It is our mission to empower people, and being a good neighbor in our communities is part of our commitment and culture,” Park continued. “We ensure our employees have the support and time to give back because making a difference in the world starts at home.”

CNH Designs Case Compact Track Loader Inspired By Metallica’s James Hetfield

mhl 375 F -SERIES

STRONG. RELIABLE. E EFFICIENT. Discover Morre Fuchs World- Class Material Handlers

CNH’s John Piper crafted a concept that recalled one of Hetfield’s tattoos, a skull with wings, together with the sharp iconic font reminiscent of his band’s graphics and album artwork. He also drew from the pinstriping in Hetfield’s private hotrod collection.

A special edition compact track loader from CNH construction brand Case Construction Equipment was on display at the YouTube Theater in Inglewood, Calif., at the Helping Hands charity concert.

Held on Dec. 13, this annual event is organized by the rock band Metallica’s All Within My Hands charitable foundation.

Following its debut, this custom-designed Case TV450B compact track loader is destined for use at the ranch of Metallica frontman and co-founder James Hetfield.

Hetfield commissioned the design as part of an equipment supply agreement with the Case brand.

The CNH Design team brought their expertise to the project to develop proposals inspired by Hetfield’s career and persona.

The winning proposal was submitted by John Piper, a rising design talent at CNH. Piper crafted a concept that recalled one of

Hetfield’s tattoos, a skull with wings, together with the sharp iconic font reminiscent of his band’s graphics and album artwork. He also drew from the pinstriping in Hetfield’s private hotrod collection.

All these elements were integrated atop a sandy camouflage pattern reminiscent of Hetfield’s signature Snakebyte electric guitar — a direct request from the artist.

CNH Senior Designer Darin Weisensel led the production phase of this project, working to bring the custom design to life on the Case TV450B. Built at the Case production facility in Wichita, the TV450B compact track loader is an industry fixture. Tough and rugged, it performs tasks such as digging, loading and dumping in commercial and residential construction activities as well as landscaping.

ARTBA: Overall Transportation Work to Grow 7.5 Percent OUTLOOK from page 1

Simonson said that even if inflation stabilizes, mortgage rates and long-term borrowing costs could remain in the 6 percent to 7 percent range.

That in turn will exert pressure downward onto certain types of construction projects.

Although improving, supply-chain issues remain. Certain items — like large generators and specialized electrical components —are still hard to source reliably.

“Unexpected disruptions, from low river levels to plant shutdowns, can create ripple effects that delay projects and increase costs,” noted SmartBrief.

“If labor and material challenges define the industry’s current struggles, technology may shape its future,” said the publication.

Besides the launch of IIJA projects, several states have hiked revenues to meet federal fund levels. They’ve tapped a combination of general fund transfers, bond issues, business taxes and other user-fee increases to do so, said Black.

ARTBA believes overall transportation construction work, including highways, will grow 7.5 percent … to $219.4 billion in 2025, she said.

That’s good news for contractors, even though industry economists are taking a more prudent view of the market next year.

Atrium Health Holds Topping-Out Event for Advanced Care Facility in Charlotte In Charlotte, N.C., Atrium Health Carolinas Medical Center (CMC) recently marked a milestone in the construction of a new advanced care facility at the health system’s flagship hospital near the heart of the city.

A topping out ceremony was held Dec. 3 to celebrate progress on the hospital building, while recognizing the hundreds of construction workers and teammates for their unwavering dedication to our community.

“This topping out ceremony is a momentous step forward in bringing our state-of-the-art facility to life,” explained Ken Haynes, president of the Southeast Region for Advocate Health, of which Atrium Health is a part.

“What makes this milestone even more meaningful, however, is what this tower will represent,” he continued.

“Atrium Health serves as a cornerstone for Charlotte and the surrounding communities during life’s most profound moments — from the joy of welcoming a new baby to navigating life’s greatest challenges. This is more than just a building; it’s a testament to the lives we’re privileged to impact and the futures we’re honored to help shape.”

A topping out ceremony is a long-employed construction tradition marking the installation of the final steel beams on many building projects and signifies the completion of the structural framework.

Atrium Health CMC’s new advanced care facility will total 1.1 million sq. ft. when it is completed in 2027 and is expected to offer: • A new emergency department • Nearly 450 patient rooms • More than 50 operating and procedure rooms • A new helipad • Dedicated space on each floor for teammate health and well-being • Connectivity across the medical center’s campus with new pedestrian bridges and walkways • A calming respite for the community outdoors along the renovated greenway “When you look around and see this building not only taking shape, but growing toward completion every day, it is an amazing accomplishment,” Collin Lane, senior vice president of facilities management for Atrium Health, said at the recent event. “We are grateful for all the workers, especially DPR Construction and Roberts Builders, who have spent countless hours on this project. Their efforts will one day significantly enhance the experience for both patients and their care teams within these walls.”

Following a trend established with recent Atrium Health construction projects, consultations from the hospital system’s teammates who work in its facilities have helped shape new innovation.

This input has helped designers maximize flexibility and adaptability within the existing floor space, Atrium Health explained in a news release, enabling staff to optimize their work, including ease of access to medical equipment in patient areas within the new advanced care facility. Patient room layout will place a premium on outside views with additional space inside the room designed for patient and visitor comfort.

Additionally, new surgical suites will provide space for medical teams to better maneuver and support a range of specialized procedures and technology integration. A new emergency department design also will increase the speed of

care with an optimized flow.

HospitalÊs Continuing Evolution Has Made It CharlotteÊs Best Atrium Health broke ground in July 2023 on the 12-story advanced care building on Blythe Road, in Charlotte’s Dilworth neighborhood, as the marquee project in an ongoing re-design and upgrade of the hospital system’s facilities and capabilities at the site.

department within its walls, a first-time mother will give birth to a healthy baby girl, a grandfather will undergo cutting-edge surgery, and a neighbor will receive emergency care at a moment’s notice,” Haynes said last year during the groundbreaking. “I’m sure our founders of Carolinas Medical Center would be very proud to see all that we have accomplished in fulfilling their dream of providing the highest level of care for all in the greater Charlotte community.”

CMC first opened its doors in 1940 as Charlotte Memorial Hospital. Since then, it has evolved with many different additions and is now not only the largest medical facility in the region, but the top hospital in Charlotte as well, according to rankings published by U.S. News & World Report. It also serves as the area’s only Level I trauma center.

When completed, the new facility will connect with both the Rush S. Dickson Tower, the hospital’s current primary bed tower, and the David L. Conlan Center at Atrium Health Carolinas Rehabilitation, which opened in January 2023 and is nationally recognized for excellence.

As the community continues to grow, Atrium Health remains committed to significant investments in the region, as these projects are just two of many which are part of the modernization of the medical center campus, including a proton beam therapy facility which saw its first patients earlier this year.

But CMC’s expansion is only one component of Atrium Health’s master plan for local-area growth.

In 2018, the health care system announced plans for more than $1 billion in capital expenditure investments for facilities in the Charlotte metro region. Those projects include Atrium Health’s new Lake Norman hospital, north of Charlotte in the town of Cornelius, in addition to the Palmetto Tower at Atrium Health Pineville, Atrium Health Union West hospital — with an adjacent medical office building — and the Atrium Health Mountain Island freestanding emergency department. 

Construction Nears for Morgan Square Expansion in S.C. After the Spartanburg [S.C.] Design Review Board unanimously approved plans for expansions to the Morgan Square downtown project in early December, city officials said the proposed multimillion-dollar redevelopment could get under way next spring, WYFF-TV reported Dec. 17.

City Manager Chris Story updated Spartanburg City Council members recently regarding the more than $15 million project that, he said, aims to make the area more friendly to pedestrians and host a wide variety of events.

“We’re trying to get to the point where we have one of the best main streets in the South,” he explained. “We’ve got the ingredients coming together … and Morgan Square will be the hub of that.”

The expansion project includes a new event pavilion that features a visitor kiosk, restrooms and storage buildings, all covered by an overhead canopy.

Other highlights include: • A new stage orientation that will allow upwards of 800 audience members to enjoy performances and continue to serve as the home of longtime city events, such as Music on Main.

• An enlarged performance lawn with additional pedestrian zones and terraces at

the square’s eastern end.

• Dedicated areas for outdoor dining.

• Adding more green space.

• Making sections of West Main and Dunbar streets easier to maneuver for pedestrians.

• Creating festival streets that will both increase the functional size of Morgan Square and bring a cohesive feel across the entire space.

Story noted, however, that a final design tweak to the Morgan Square expansion could be included.

“We think it makes sense to connect it a little bit further westward to incorporate the block immediately to the west of [the venue], and that’ll add some cost,” he said.

The pavilion is set to be located at the front of the square along North Church Street and Main Street in Spartanburg.

Morgan Square has been central to the hub of downtown Spartanburg since even before the city’s incorporation in 1831. Now, officials are itching for its reconstruction to begin after nearly three years of planning, seeing it as a chance to tap into the city’s unreached capabilities.

“This design for the future of Morgan Square provides an opportunity to maximize the space’s potential as Downtown

Spartanburg’s premier public gathering space,” according to the city of Spartanburg’s online project page.

The city council must now approve the redesign and project budget before the 10month construction can take place, a vote that is expected in the next two months, Story told WYFF-TV. After its expected approval, work on the project is likely to get under way late next spring or early summer.

presented to the city council in August 2023, and a revised version of that plan was submitted to the group this past Nov. 7.

“The design for the future of Morgan Square provides an opportunity to maximize the space’s potential as Downtown Spartanburg’s premier public gathering space,” the final plan read. “The renewed Morgan Square will also feature a 70 percent increase in total green space.”

Local Leaders Help Steer Morgan SquareÊs Expansion Guided by a select steering committee of local leaders, downtown stakeholders, and area residents, the Morgan Square Enhancement Plan represented the culmination of nine months of sustained public outreach and engagement, the city noted on its website.

The ad hoc committee was established by the Spartanburg City Council in July 2022 to oversee the design and public input process for physical enhancements to Morgan Square in order to meet the changing needs of the Upstate South Carolina city’s residents, business owners and visitors.

Upon completion of its work, the committee approved an initial design which was

Big Draw in Bringing People Downtown The Morgan Square project comes as construction moves forward on nearby Fifth Third Park, the stadium where the Minor League Baseball Hub City Spartanburgers play their home games, as well as the joint city-county complex and planetarium.

Throughout the past few decades, Morgan Square has seen a variety of iterations. Its current layout, with one street blocked off to car traffic, was established during the COVID-19 pandemic after rules governing outdoor dining went into effect.

Story called Morgan Square “the heart of the city’s downtown” as it prepares for another iteration in its history. 

Southern Road & Bridge Relies On Linder to Find Right Tools for Any Job THE CAT RENTAL STORE AT THOMPSON MACHINERY

Linder’s Randy Thomas (L) works closely with Southern Road & Bridge’s Dallas Fortner to find the right equipment for his projects.

SOUTHERN from page 12

“The Terramac hauls all the dirt that we’re excavating from the pond,” Fortner said. “Once the machine is loaded up with material, we can dump the material further away from the shore where it can dry out to be hauled off-site. In Florida, there are lots of projects where traditional haul trucks can’t access certain parts of a job, because they’re very heavy and get stuck in the muck. The Terramac is the perfect solution because it has giant tracks, so you can go right across the mud with no problems.”

Fortner’s enthusiasm for the equipment is shared by his team members, who appreciate the comfort and functionality the Terramac RT14R offers.

“If that thing’s on a job site, you know you’re making money,” Fortner said. “The guys fight over who gets to run it because it’s just a blast to run.”

Prompt Service Support from Linder Industrial Machinery Company, especially sales representative Randy Thomas, has been instrumental in integrating the Terramac RT14R into Southern Road & Bridge’s operations.

“When I started looking for a Terramac machine to rent or purchase, I gave Randy a call to see if he could help me out,” recalled Fortner. “He got right on it. I would say within a week, the Terramac was sitting on my job site.”

The prompt service and ongoing support from Linder ensure that the equipment remains reliable and operational, minimizing downtime on critical projects. Linder’s team provides maintenance and rapid response for any issues that arise.

“I just pick up the phone, make a call, and Randy’s on it,” Fortner said.

This level of support is crucial for keeping Southern Road & Bridge’s operations running smoothly and maintaining productivity.

Looking Ahead The future looks promising for Southern Road & Bridge as it continues to expand and take on more complex projects.

The company’s ability to tackle niche projects that other contractors shy away from sets it apart in the industry.

“We have a good name,” said Fortner. “Everybody who we work with loves us because we get in and bust out. I see us growing as we have been over the last seven years. We’re hiring more and more people, getting more and more equipment, so it’s only up from here.”

With innovative machines like the Terramac RT14R rotating rubber-tracked crawler carrier and a dedicated team, Southern Road & Bridge LLC is well equipped to handle the demands of future infrastructure projects.  *The opinions expressed here are from the end user as quoted.

Survey: Many Businesses Lack Access to Digital Safety Systems Twiceme Technology, a Swedish company dedicated to safety solutions, revealed the findings of its 2024 Construction Safety Survey.

In the industrial market survey of 500 construction contractors and 390 safety managers/directors, the data revealed that while 79 percent of safety managers have digital systems to track critical safety information and personal protective equipment (PPE) health, only 40 percent of contractors surveyed noted they have digital access to this information, too.

Digital safety technologies have served a vital role in the outdoor sports industry for quite some time, and the construction industry is now beginning to follow suit. Digital technologies embedded within PPE can increase efficiency, decrease deficiencies in information, and empower the wearer and issuer to make the workplace safer by more quickly alerting, locating, and identifying injured persons. It is critical to have information about workplace certifications, PPE equipment health and emergency information about a contractor available at the fingertips of those at a job site.

Digital technologies can make an immense difference in response times when an incident occurs.

Construction sites can be dangerous, and 69 percent of contractors surveyed noted that they or a coworker had experienced a serious accident at a job site. Of this group, 54 percent said that the first person to respond on site did not have relevant health information about the injured person, which could help accelerate and improve the first-aid process.

Also, 45 percent of this group were not adequately trained to provide preliminary help to an injured worker in the moments before first responders were on the scene.

“Safety managers are doing a great job with digital safety processes, but there is a critical gap when this information does not reach the workers,” said Christian Connolly, CEO, Twiceme. “Distributing smart PPE can help solve this issue. Investing in PPE like safety helmets and harnesses that have Twiceme-enabled NFC chips embedded within revolutionizes how information is shared and accessed, thus having a positive impact on how management and contractors can respond and act in emergency scenarios.”

system, the large majority marked the following components to be valuable to extremely valuable: • Get alerts for overdue inspections and maintenance tasks for PPE (96 percent).

• Get real-time reports on safety compliance issues and incidents (96 percent).

• Access to real-time insights into worker attendance and location at job sites (96 percent).

• Inspect and receive automatic reminders when workers’ certifications near expiration (91 percent).

• Keep track of their workers’ PPE to reduce missing or lost equipment (90 percent).

• Access to paperless inspection and filing of required inspections per OSHA guidelines (88 percent).

The value of such features is clear: more than 88 percent of survey managers said they would be willing to pay $15 or more for helmets or other PPE gear for their organization if they included a safety management system that tracks work-related documents, equipment expiration dates, emergency response and reporting tools.

“As general contractors and other industrial organizations across the U.S. transition from hard hats to safety helmets or plan to invest in other job site PPE, such as fall protection, they should also look at embedded digital technologies as a top priority,” added Connolly.

MB Crusher Reaches New Heights in Europe ...With Help From Helicopters Three stories. Three heights. Three MB Crusher machines.

One goal: work smarter, not harder.

It’s not just climbers reaching new heights. MB Crusher attachments have taken to the skies, quite literally, soaring above the Alps. This aerial showcase demonstrates that “working smarter, with ease and profitability” is more than just a slogan; it’s a reality.

Why struggle with the complicated logistics of mountain terrain when you can fly above it? When material transport becomes a logistical nightmare and time is short, the solution is simple: reduce effort, maximize results.

Here are three projects that demonstrate how MB Crusher tackles the highest challenges — literally.

Grands Montets, Mont Blanc, France · 3,300 Meters Above Sea Level The mountains present a tough challenge for most, but not for MB Crusher equipment.

Pugnat TP faced a demanding job at 3,300 meters above sea level, without water supply and with limited site access at the location of the new Grands Montets cable car station, designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano.

It needed to crush granite into 0-80 mm pieces to build the foundation, without the costly, time-consuming and environmentally harmful task of hauling materials down the mountain and back up.

To overcome this, they used the MB Crusher BF90.3 S4 crusher bucket, attached to a Cat 330 excavator.

In Drogo’s Valley in northern Italy, an MB-G500 sorting grapple was airlifted to a steep site where Fattarelli SAS company was reshaping riverbeds and constructing embankments.

An MB Crusher BF90.3 S4 crusher bucket, attached to a Cat 330 excavator, worked at the location of the new Grands Montets cable car station.

In the heart of the Chiemgau Alps, an MB-L140 crusher bucket, flown in by helicopter and mounted on a Kaiser spider excavator.

The BF90.3 was fully disassembled and transported to the site over multiple helicopter trips. Once at the summit, it was quickly reassembled and put to work. This solution saved time and money, minimized the carbon footprint, and helped protect the surrounding environment.

Dürrnbachhorn, Austria · 1,776 Meters Above Sea Level In the heart of the Chiemgau Alps, the goal was to lay supply line cables. The logistics? A nightmare. The solution? The MBL140 crusher bucket, flown in by helicopter and mounted on a Kaiser spider excavator.

In rugged terrain and tight spaces, the MB jaw crusher handled boulders extracted during digging, which were then reused to fill trenches. No extra transport, reduced pollution, maximum efficiency. Once again, productivity reached new heights.

DrogoÊs Valley, Northern Italy It’s not just the crusher buckets that experience the thrill of helicopter flight. In the breathtaking Drogo’s Valley in northern Italy, an MB-G500 sorting grapple was airlifted to a steep site where Fattarelli SAS company was reshaping riverbeds and constructing embankments. This work demands the highest standards of safety and precision.

“The MB Crusher grapple is an essential companion,” said Nicola Fattarelli, emphasizing the importance of having the right equipment in extreme conditions.

Whether it’s crushing boulders, moving logs, or stabilizing structures, MB Crusher equipment consistently rises to the toughest challenges. From France to Austria and across Italy, working in the high mountains has never been easier, more profitable, or — let’s face it — more impressive.  (All photos courtesy of MB Crusher.)

Tigercat Officially Launches Down-Swing Drum Chipper Tigercat’s 6500 chipper is a heavy-duty down-swing drum chipper designed for high production and maximum flexibility. Rotor speeds are adjustable based on infeed material density and desired chip length — ranging from 0.5-2 in. — to maximize throughput and product quality.

With a frame that pivots on the undercarriage, the operator is able to adjust the infeed angle for varying feedstock or raise and lower the discharge height to adjust the chip pile size or accommodate top load trailers.

The pivoting upper frame also allows for transport on a 18 in. lowboy trailer without the need to fold the discharge conveyor to maintain transport height under 13 ft.

6 in.

Maintenance is made easy with convenient service access. The split hog box opens over centre to fully access the rotor and screens for simple knife changes.

The grate frame is hydraulically retractable for inspection, service or impact detection.

The single discharge conveyor is open on the bottom for clean operation and easy servicing. A tool storage area mounted on the side of the machine hydraulically raises and lowers for added convenience.

An optional large diameter magnetic head pulley is available to effectively remove metal from the end product. The machine also is prepared to accept over-band magnet systems.

Dry Stone Walling: Tradition Meets Innovation Dry stone walling is a traditional construction technique rooted in many cultures around the world, especially common in Europe.

These structures are crafted without any binding agents, relying on the precise interlocking of stones, where the weight and precise placement of each stone are used to create durable and resilient barriers. In addition to defining boundaries and shaping landscapes, they serve important ecological roles: they protect against desertification and soil erosion, help prevent landslides and provide shelter for a range of animal and plant species.

Despite the benefits of these structures, building and maintaining dry stone walls requires significant skill and meticulous attention to detail, making skilled laborers increasingly rare and valuable. The guardians of this tradition must carefully select and place each stone to ensure stability and longevity. However, due to technological advancements, even these traditional techniques can now be enhanced by equipment that simplifies construction, speeds up the process and delivers maximum precision with minimal effort — handled by a single operator seated in a machine.

MB Crusher’s MB-G selection grabs step in to lend a hand, enabling operators to grip, move and position stones of all shapes and sizes with exceptional accuracy, precision and safety.

The owner of Battaglia Costruzioni in Italy, said, “Purchasing the MB-G350 selection grab was a gamechanger for us — we can do whatever we want.”

Currently working in a hilly park, he is building a dry stone wall with the local stone — Euganean trachyte — a

highly durable stone also used to pave much of Venice’s walkways.

In just four days, with the MB-G350 selection grab, Battaglia Costruzioni processed 55 cu. yd. of trachyte, creating a 170 ft.-long dry stone wall averaging 63 in. in height.

Manually, this would have required at least five workers and 35–40 days of labor.

“Opening and closing the grab is incredibly simple. After only ten minutes, the machine works as if it’s been in operation for months. You can even work with fine precision, slotting the stone exactly where you want it, turning it… you can do whatever you need to. It’s uniquely simple,” he said.

The MB Crusher grab also is ideal for constructing riprap embankments, commonly used along rivers in both mountainous and flat areas. These embankments vary by function but generally aim to protect banks from erosion and to control water levels. Here too, this isn’t a matter of merely piling stones but rather a painstaking process made easier, more precise, and safer with the MB Crusher selection grab.

Dry stone walls have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage asset, but they need to be “kept in practice” — enabled, passable, feasible and sustainable, not just preserved as museum pieces.

The combination of ancient techniques and modern equipment like MB Crusher’s MB-G grabs represents the future of dry stone walling and riprap embankments. With the support of MB Crusher’s equipment, we can sustain a centuries-old tradition while achieving high performance, safety and respect for the environment.

Amulet’s HoeClamp Features Kidney Link Design Amulet Manufacturing Company first developed its full-motion, mechanical thumb — the HoeClamp — in 1983. Since then, HoeClamps have been designed to fit most models of loader backhoes, including those with telescopic extendable dipper arms.

The concept of function, quality, durability and quick, easy installation are still the most important aspects of all HoeClamp thumbs.

The grasping action of the HoeClamp, offering full thumb movement without requiring any additional hydraulics, is achieved through Amulet’s unique “kidney link” design, eliminating the need for costly hoses, valves and cylinders required for conventional hydraulic thumbs. The HoeClamp is quick and easy to install; needs very low maintenance; and is easy to place in its stored position when the HoeClamp’s digging or grasping functions are not needed, according to the manufacturer.

The HoeClamp includes everything required for complete installation: clamp body, new

main pin, kidney links, new actuator guide links and all required link pins. In addition, all milled holes have replaceable bushings, with all pins made of a heat-treated hardened alloy. The Amulet HoeClamp is very heavyduty and built to last and will often pay for itself on the very first project, according to the company.

“Most jobs currently performed with a bucket alone can be accomplished faster, easier and cheaper with the mechanical, fullmotion HoeClamp thumb,” said a spokesperson for Amulet. “For more than 40 years the Amulet HoeClamp has exceeded customer expectations and allows the operator to take on projects that they would have never been able to tackle before. Whether digging a trench, clearing a woodlot of logs and brush, or demolishing a building, the HoeClamp makes dollars and sense.”

Toro Dingo, Branch Manager Team Up to Boost Tree Care Branch Manager, a leader in tree care service equipment, will provide attachments for Toro’s powerful Dingo lineup of compact utility loaders as part of a new partnership.

For tree care service providers, this combination means improved efficiency and productivity on tree care job sites. The new partnership also will give tree care service providers a onestop shop for traction unit and attachment needs, including ordering, financing, shipment and customer care.

Toro Dingo compact utility loaders Toro photo are a productivity-boosting alternative Branch Manager attachments are developed specifito manual labor and heavier earthmovcally for tree care site needs. ing equipment. Whether crews want specific attachments, gas, diesel or electric-powered, radial, vertical or telescoping lift arms, wheels or tracks, there’s a Dingo for almost any job.

Branch Manager attachments are developed specifically for tree care site needs. From tree removal and maintenance to job site clean-up, Branch Manager attachments improve efficiency, reduce labor and simplify complex tasks, according to the manufacturer.

Branch Manager attachments designed for use with the Dingo lineup

include: • 56″ T1031 BMGX2 Mini Skid Steer Log Grapple (Toro model 23137) — This lightweight, 265-lb. fully assembled grapple easily attaches to the Dingo, offering a large 56 in. opening, a swivel mount with “knock around” rotation for reduced maintenance and log dogs that provide intuitive log handling — all while minimizing wear on both lawns and machines due to its free rotation design.

• 56″ T1036 BMGXR2 Mini Skid Steer Log Grapple (Toro model 23138) —When mounted to the Dingo, this fully assembled 350-lb. grapple offers a large 56 in. opening and powered rotation to minimize wear and tear on both the machine and lawns.

• BMG Clamshells Grapple Attachment (Toro model 23148) — Easily scoop and grab chips, dirt, rocks and other loose materials with this 30.5 in. wide grapple that features 10.5 cu. ft. capacity and durable powder-coat paint for long-lasting performance.

• BMG Rake (Toro model 23141) — This 130 lb., 6-ft. rake fits the Branch Manager grapple, featuring more than 1,700 virtually indestructible Spring

Steel tines for efficiently sweeping up stump chips, pine needles and more, with easy storage and no need to disconnect hydraulic hoses for use.

These Branch Manager attachments are powerful additions to the more than 35 Toro attachments that can be paired with the Dingo, including the grapple rake attachment, auger attachment, adjustable fork attachment and hydraulic tree fork attachment.

“Together, the Toro Dingo and Branch Manager attachments ensure tree care providers enjoy significantly reduced physical workload and less fatigue. For example, crews could use a combination of Dingo and Branch Manager attachments to remove a dead or dying tree, grind the stump, clear and dump debris, auger a hole and plant a new tree with minimal hand labor,” said Sam Dando, senior product marketing manager at Toro.

“Previously, that same crew may have used shovels, wheelbarrows and other tools that draw out the process and lead to long days and, ultimately, a turnover of skilled labor.”

TJ Hunt Trucking Improves Efficiency With Kenworth T880s Since 1996, TJ Hunt Trucking has grown to become a top provider of dump truck and flatbed hauling services for construction companies, homeowners, local municipalities and state and federal agencies across the tri-state area of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.

The Chattanooga, Tenn.-based company’s fleet of red and black Kenworth T880s are hard to miss, and the trucks reflect the company’s image as being a reliable and quality company to do business with.

“We have about 54 trucks in our fleet, the majority being T880 dump trucks with a few tractors set up to haul flatbeds,” said TJ Hunt, TJ Hunt Trucking owner. “We’ve run Kenworth T880s ever since the model was introduced in 2013, and it’s been a great truck for our operation. We’ve owned just about every other truck make there is, and the T880 is the best of the best. It’s a versatile and reliable truck.

Plus, our drivers love them. Kenworth is known for building high-quality trucks, and that’s the image we want to mirror as a company.”

According to Hunt, TJ Hunt Trucking transports a wide range of materials, including asphalt, topsoil, dirt, debris, gravel and construction materials for large-scale projects.

When the company opened for business in ‘96, it acquired equipment on the aftermarket. After a few years, the company was in a position to begin buying new.

“The first new trucks I ever bought were two Kenworth W900Ls,” Hunt said. “I wasn’t quite sure at the time which trucks I wanted to buy, but I had a friend who worked at MHC Kenworth – Chattanooga, and he sold me on Kenworths. For it being my first new truck purchase, I wanted to make the right decision, and he was right. Twenty-plus years later, we’ve continued adding more Kenworths to our fleet and still have a great relationship with our local dealer.”

According to Hunt, several years ago, the company began a transition to specifying its trucks with automated transmissions to make them easier for its drivers to operate. More recently, TJ Hunt Trucking started buying T880s with the PACCAR TX-18 Pro following its introduction in 2022, which integrates with the PACCAR MX-13 engine the company had been running in its trucks. The PACCAR TX-18 PRO builds off the TX-18 heavy-duty on-highway transmission platform with enhanced capabilities for heavy vocational on/off-highway applications.

TJ Hunt Trucking transports a wide range of materials, including asphalt, topsoil, dirt, debris, gravel and construction materials for large-scale projects.

According to Hunt, the company recently did a benchmark test between a T880 spec’d with the integrated PACCAR Powertrain and a truck with a different powertrain package to see the difference in performance. The outcome was significant, with the PACCAR Powertrain-equipped

T880 achieving a 2-mpg fuel economy improvement over the other truck. (Individual fuel economy improvement will vary depending on use, road conditions and other factors.)

“It was an impressive result, we wouldn’t have guessed there would be that big of a difference in fuel economy,” said Hunt. “We’ve been gradually transitioning our fleet to the MX-13 engines with the TX-18 PRO transmissions once that became available. Our trucks average about 70,000 miles per year, and the 2-mpg difference between powertrain packages is significant. The integrated PACCAR Powertrain offering is more efficient.”

Looking ahead, Hunt said the company purchases approximately seven new T880s per year on average to replace older equipment and to keep up with growing demand.

Kenworth T880s with the PACCAR Powertrain will continue to have a larger presence within the fleet.

“We do most of our truck maintenance in-house, so consistency across the fleet makes it easier for our mechanics to work on trucks and have spare parts ready,” said Hunt.

“Between the reliability, driver satisfaction, durability and versatility of our Kenworths, the T880s have proven to be an excellent truck for what we do and the services we provide.”

Recently Acquired HighwayMAX Trailers Lend Big Assist When ALL Erection & Crane Rental, flagship branch and member of the ALL Family of Companies, provided heavy lift equipment to dismantle a 170,000-lb. industrial bolt press in Northeast Ohio, it also was able to offer a secondary, value-added service: delivery of that same massive piece of machinery to its destination in Alsip, Ill. What enabled the transport service was ALL’s recent acquisition of two Faymonville HighwayMAX trailers.

The HighwayMAX is a nine-axle extendable highway trailer with nine hydraulically steered pendle-axles and a legal payload of up to 170,000 lb. (249,000-lb. technical payload). Axle spacing is adjustable by up to 22.5 ft. between each three-axle group, and each axle steers independently at 60 degrees for ultimate maneuverability in tight spaces.

All axles are liftable.

“We initially purchased the trailers to haul tracks for two of our own newly acquired crawler cranes, the Liebherr LR 11000 and Liebherr LR 1800,” said Brian Meek, sales representative of ALL. “But we soon realized these trailers could offer something unique to our customers, and perhaps even open new markets for us in heavy haul transport.”

ECA Takes 2023 Bauer Service Partner of the Year Award GHL_Destocking_SSL_CTL_0for36_CEG_HP4C_FINAL.indd 1

“The Bauer executives repeatedly highlighted how far ahead ECA is compared to other subsidiaries,” Ross added. “While it’s encouraging, this award isn’t a reason to rest on our laurels. Instead, it’s motivation to keep pushing forward to achieve 100 percent customer satisfaction. We believe that with the dedication and expertise of our team, it’s an achievable goal.”

Ulrich believes it is ECA’s commitment to elevating the customer experience through teamwork, continuous improvement and innovative service strategies that made the goal achievable.

“Managers may set the stage,” Ulrich said, “but it’s our team that plays the music.

This award belongs to them.”

As ECA celebrates this achievement, the company remains focused on enhancing its service capabilities and strengthening customer relationships across all regions, staying true to the philosophy that exceptional service is not just an outcome — it’s a mindset. 

CJ Mahan Crew Building New, Wider Chickamauga Lock LOCK from page 1

USACE photo

View from the Chickamauga Dam Spillway looking downstream. In the immediate foreground is the miter gate sill. The upstream miter gates will open and close on this surface to allow barges to lock through.

by 360 ft. long, the existing lock is not suitable for today’s jumbo barges, able to accommodate only one at a time.

“When the Chickamauga Lock was commissioned in 1940 by FDR, the standard size of barges was much smaller,” Cotton said. “We could move four barges through at a time, and that was economical for what the industry made.

Since then, they’ve grown to be 35 foot wide by 195 foot long and we can only get one through at a time. So, the locks downstream of Chickamauga are designed to pass nine barges through at 110 feet by 600 feet or more, and Chickamauga Locks is the bottleneck.”

The existing lock also is undermined by a reaction between the alkali in the cement and aggregate, threatening the structural integrity and limiting its lifespan. The reaction was observed soon after the initial construction. Originally priced at $757 million, the project cost is now set at $954 million, due to a revised schedule that led to a later completion date, as well as inflation, Cotton said.

The current contract to C.J. Mahan Construction Company was awarded in 2021 and involves the placement of 14 8-ft. diameter concrete shafts. The shafts go down to the lakebed which is about 60 ft. and, in some instances, extend an additional 50 ft. below the surface of the lake.

This is a view looking upstream from the same location. Four intermediate piers are being constructed by contractor C.J. Mahan. The two boxes above the surface of Chickamauga Lake is the formwork C.J. Mahan is using to construct the piers above water.

After the first 10 ft. of concrete is placed, C.J. Mahan will lower those boxes into the lake and then proceed to place additional concrete on top of it. By building the piers above water they are eliminating the risks that could be presented if they were working below the water line.

Chickamauga Lock was built prior to most of the Chickamauga Dam’s construction. By building the lock first, navigation on the Tennessee river could continue throughout the construction of the rest of the dam.

The culvert valve being delivered.

The culvert valves were delivered to site in mid-July.

The filling and emptying of the lock is gravity fed so the only power used to operate the lock is the lifting and lowering of the culvert valves and the opening of the gates. No pumps are needed.

The old Chickamauga Lock measures 60 ft. wide by 360 ft. long and only allows for the passage of one jumbo (35 ft. by 195 ft.) barge. The new lock (110 ft. by 600 ft.) will be able to pass up to nine jumbo barges at once. Barges have standardized and grown over time.

When the original lock was built, four barges of that era could pass at once.

New Lock Will Accomodate Modern 35-Ft. Wide Barges LOCK from page 64

“The upstream approach wall beams were pre-fabricated and are stored off site,” Cotton said. “They are 8 feet by 8 feet concrete blocks that are 110 feet long, think of them as giant Legos. The contractor will lower the beams onto the piers which are on the concrete shafts that were drilled into the bottom of the Chickamauga Lake.

involves numerous components, including the removal of the spillway, which is currently blocking access into the new lock chamber, removal of the coffer dam surrounding the work area for the existing lock chamber, and constructing a closure plug — a block of concrete — to prevent new dam surface water from passing through the old lock.

“The final feature for this contract for this project is called the thrust block,” Cotton said. “It’s a 35,000 cubic yard piece of concrete that we’re placing underneath the highway bridge. It’s basically a giant doorstop. There’s alkali aggregate reaction occurring throughout the entire dam. By placing that thrust block at the very end, we’re essentially keeping the entire dam stable, not just the existing lock, not just the old lock, but the entire dam we’re able to stabilize.

“Throughout construction of the replacement lock, the original Chickamauga Lock has been fully operational, with close to 1 million tons going through the lock yearly. During the pandemic, that number was cut nearly half, but last year the rate climbed to 1.3 million tons. I think we’re on track for close to a million and a half tons through the lock in 2024,” Cotton said. “That process right now, we can only send one barge through. The significance of one barge, as opposed to nine going through an hour is it’s about an hour, hour and a half process to get one barge through. A 12-barge tow going through this lock one at a time, you’re looking at an over 12hour process. Whereas we can get 12 barges through in two and a half hours, as opposed to 12 hours.”

It’s not only great from an efficiency standpoint, but even more important for safety.

“The lock was not really designed to accommodate these

35-foot-wide barges, so there’s a lot of movement and when we have movement on our barges, it creates an unsafe environment for the workers who are having to get in there and disconnect these barges from each other. When you send them through three at a time in 110-foot lock, there isn’t a lot of wiggle room. It’s just a much safer work environment for the marine industry.”  CEG

AGC Survey: More Than Half Believe Markets Will Be Healthy OUTLOOK from page 28

Bracing for Future Possibilities As Deloitte states, disruption and volatility are nothing new to the construction market. Evolving economic and regulatory factors, said the business consulting firm, are expected to shape the industry in 2025.

“Nonetheless, 2025 could present opportunities for continued growth,” and contractors should pay attention to several factors.

The “labor mismatch” and evolving skills requirements require innovative workforce strategies, automation, enhanced worker experiences, and diversity.

“The sector’s ability to adapt … will be important in working to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving market and ensuring a robust … workforce,” said Deloitte.

Advancements in technology will continue to modernize the industry next year, according to Deloitte. Technologies, such as digital twins, robotics and AI, can streamline project management, collaboration and decision-making as they reduce delays and costs.

“With wide-scale adoption,” noted the firm, “companies could experience improved productivity, safety and resource allocation.”

Changing economics will shape the

industry next year. Lower interest rates and falling inflation could reduce the cost of project financing. That, in turn, could encourage both public- and private-sector investments in construction, said Deloitte.

Finally, federal infrastructure investment will continue to benefit non-residential projects. This includes transportation, manufacturing and utilities.

“The recent increase in tariff rates on strategic materials like steel and aluminum aims to boost domestic production capacity,”

noted Deloitte.

At the same time, it also has the potential to heighten the risk of reciprocal tariffs.

At the ConstructConnect webinar in November, economists summarized the industry outlook for next year as a combination of optimism and caution.

“While commercial construction spending continues to grow, it will likely do so at a slower rate next year,” according to the organization.

Though spending growth continues, it will be incremental next year, say economists.

struction staffing, finding experienced help is still a challenge. But that’s not hindering bidding on new projects.

“As is the case every year, it will be important for contractors and firms to keep a keen eye on market factors and trends in 2025,” said the firm.

SmartBrief’s take is that despite the challenges, many firms remain hopeful. Nearly 60 percent of the AGC survey respondents believe markets will be healthy.

And almost half plan to purse new markets next year. SmartBrief urges contractors to address labor shortages with robust workforce development.

The organization suggests businesses “recalibrate” project bids and supply agreements to counteract inflation’s effects, and strategically adopt technology.

SmartBrief suggests “focusing on tools that deliver clear returns and build trust among stakeholders.”

The firm believes that cultivating a flexible, forward-thinking mindset and forging strong partnerships contractors can navigate the uncertainty.

“For those willing to embrace change … the next few years hold the promise of sustainable growth, improved efficiency and a more resilient industry.”  CEG
