Considered one of the largest and most complex undertakings in South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) history, the I-85 widening project will reduce congestion on the interstate, improve the safety of interchanges and replace aging infrastructure when complete. The $620 million effort is being carried out in two phases, requiring coordination with FHWA, contractors, local governments, utility companies and property owners. “This project had been on SCDOT’s priority list for some time,” said CEG CORRESPONDENT

Florida Sees Some Relief, But I-4 Overhaul Not Done, Yet There’s good news for Florida’s Interstate 4 commuters who have dealt with years of white-knuckle driving: The construction on the 21-mi. of non-tolled lanes is finished, sort of, as promised by the state’s road agency early this year. “The department’s goal was to provide a solution that would offer the biggest benefit to the greatest number of drivers,” Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Secretary Kevin J. Thibault said in March. “Focusing on getting the general use lanes open within the original project timeline does just that.” But there is fine print that goes with Thibault’s promise. The toll lanes along the center median As part of the project, a grid of rebar was ready to be overlaid with won’t be finished and opened until late next this section of I-4, looking toward downtown Orland year, and a final coat of asphalt paving needs to be applied to non-tolled lanes. through Orlando, and adding toll lanes in each direction. What’s more, for drivers who have pinned their hopes on Work was to have been mostly finished by now. the $2.4 billion I-4 Ultimate project solving their rush-hour But delays mounted, including Hurricane Irma’s impact in slowdowns, the transportation agency is warning that 2017, catastrophic failure of bridge foundation work in remains to be seen but may not be the case.

one filed in 2018 arising from the suspension of construction to accommodate an Orlando visit by Vice President Mike Pence, to one also filed in 2018 citing a lack of electric crews to relocate Duke Energy and Orlando Utilities Commission wires. Because of the extra expenditures, the FDOT agreed in April to pay an extra $125 million for a job priced originally at $2.3 billion and to allow an extension of deadlines. While the non-tolled lanes and interchange ramps are in their permanent configuration, and are being used as Thibault predicted, the April agreement specifies that non-tolled lanes don’t have to be complete FDOT photo until next year. concrete on The final coat of asphalt paving yet to be applied to the non-tolled lanes is called a friction coarse and is designed to shed or drain off rainwater quickly for safer, high-speed driving. Also coming in 2021 is completion of landscaping along a roadway that, with a set of towering complex ramps at the I-4 and Florida State Road 408 interchange, is a landmark feature of the Orlando metro area. Ottaviano said lane closures and temporary concrete barriers will continue into the coming year with construction of the tolled lanes. “We do know that there are some areas of the project that have already seen better travel times,” Ottaviano said.
Bird Nesting Habitat Restoration Begins On Rabbit Island The Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) announced Jan. 12 that operations had gotten under way to restore Rabbit Island, the only Brown Pelican colony in southwest Louisiana. Located in the southwest portion of Calcasieu Lake in Cameron Parish, Rabbit Island is the first rebuild of a waterbird colony since the successful restoration of Queen Bess Island a year ago, which saw a dramatic increase in nesting activity immediately following its completion. “After a devastating hurricane season in southwest Louisiana, this restoration project is even more important to the overall recovery of the region,” explained CPRA Chairman Chip Kline. “Rabbit Island is yet another example of our commitment to investing in and restoring southwest Louisiana’s coastline.” The $16.4 million project is funded with settlement money from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill approved by the Louisiana Trustee Implementation Group (LATIG). “Within weeks of construction wrapping up last February, at least 8,000 brown pelicans started nesting on Queen Bess, more than double what was expected,” said CPRA Executive Director Bren Haase. “And Rabbit Island is more than twice the size of
Queen Bess, with 88 acres being rebuilt as suitable nesting habitat. We look forward to welcoming thousands of nesting birds back this spring.” “This is a great project that shows Louisiana is leading by example when it comes restoring bird wildlife to their natural habitat,” noted Louisiana State Senator Mark Abraham. A competitively bid contract for the
restoration of Rabbit Island was awarded to Weeks Marine, a dredging company with offices in Covington, La. The project is creating approximately 130 jobs. “Last year’s storm season was devastating for the people of Cameron Parish,” said State Representative Ryan Bourriaque. “As we continue to rebuild, I applaud the state for taking on this timely restoration project and for their continual investment in this region.”
A competitively bid contract for the restoration of Rabbit Island was awarded to Weeks Marine, a dredging company with offices in Covington, La. The project is creating approximately 130 jobs.
“This is wonderful to see,” said Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Jack Montoucet. “We’ve seen Rabbit Island seriously degrade, losing approximately 30 percent of its total acreage since 1955. But by combining the habitat expertise of Wildlife and Fisheries and the restoration abilities of CPRA, we are making a big difference that will allow our native species to flourish as we continue the mission of restoring and protecting coastal Louisiana.” Sediment is being dredged from the Calcasieu Ship Channel for the project. Vegetative plantings of appropriate native grasses and shrubs will further enhance the habitat for pelicans, terns and other colonial nesting waterbirds. “Hatchlings were drowning and eggs were washing away and breaking because much of the island had eroded to sea level or below,” CPRA Project Manager Todd Baker explained. “We are filling in and elevating portions of the island so the birds can survive the wind and water that overtopped nesting areas even during normal high tides.” The entire operation is scheduled to be complete before nesting season begins later in 2021.

Outer Banks Wind Project to Create 200 Jobs in N.C., Va. A rendering of the new Linder Industrial Machinery, Ft. Myers, Fla., location was unveiled at the event.
Linder Hosts Customers to Unveil Plans for New Fort Myers Facility
L
inder Industrial Machinery recently hosted several dozen customers to a gathering at the grounds of the construction for its new Fort Myers, Fla., branch facility, scheduled to open in 2021. The unveiling of the plans for the new facility took place at the property located on Supply Drive, just west of Interstate 75. Machine displays of most of the major lines that Linder represents were on site. For more information, visit www.linderco.com. CEG
Komatsu and Wirtgen Group product displays were scattered across the property. CemenTech volumetric mixers also were on display at the event.
A group of Linder customers came together to hear more about the plans for the new branch.
A wind farm set for construction off North Carolina’s Outer Banks would create nearly 200 full-time jobs in the Tarheel State and Virginia following its completion. An economic study by alternative energy developer Avangrid Renewables calculated the project would add $2 billion to the region’s economy over the next 10 years. Construction of the Kitty Hawk Offshore Wind Project is set to begin in 2024 in an area roughly 27 mi. offshore from Corolla, N.C., covering 122,405 acres. The work’s completion is expected to be in 2030. When all phases are complete, the wind farm is expected to have a generation capacity of 2.5 gigawatts, enough to
The wind farm off the northern Outer Banks would generate $100 million in additional income and sales tax revenues to Virginia and Virginia Beach. power 700,000 homes, the report said. The wind farm’s construction is expected to create 800 jobs. Once operating, the offshore array of turbines will produce 193 full-time jobs in Virginia and North Carolina including turbine generator technicians, welders and vessel managers, according to the report. Support companies and services could add nearly 800 more jobs. The Kitty Hawk project is the second in the region that would boost the Hampton Roads economy. A Dominion Energy wind farm off the Virginia Beach coast, expected to be finished in 2026, would generate 1,100 Hampton Roads jobs and pump $740 million into the Virginia economy, according to a separate economic impact study done for Dominion. The wind farm off the northern Outer Banks would generate $100 million in additional income and sales tax revenues to Virginia and Virginia Beach. The company opened a regional office in Virginia Beach over the summer. It is not certain where in Hampton Roads the maintenance and operation facilities will be, said Avangrid Renewables spokesman Morgan Pitts. The economic data was collected from Avangrid Renewables, the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and economic impact studies of other offshore wind developments, according to the study. It was part of a construction and operation plan submitted Dec. 11 to the Bureau of Ocean Energy and Management for the Kitty Hawk Offshore Wind Project.

Construction of the long-awaited, harbor-front Capt. Royal Melvin Heritage Park in Destin, Fla., has finally gotten under way. The 0.77-acre park site is at 206 Harbor Blvd., with Dewey Destin’s Harborside Restaurant to the west and Brotula’s Seafood House & Steamer and the Destin Fishing Fleet Marina to the east. According to project design plans, improvements to the park property will include a harbor/wildlife observation platform, resource center, educational signage, kayak/canoe lift, terraced walkway, plaza, picnic/sitting area, drinking fountain, restrooms, trash bins, bike racks and underground utilities. The project will be paid for with a little more than $1.2 million in RESTORE Act settlement funds administered

through Okaloosa County and $33,470 in city funding. RESTORE Act projects are funded by civil penalties paid by BP after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill and are intended to benefit the local economy and natural resources. The Destin City Council received an update on the park project Dec. 21. “I’m excited to announce that Okaloosa County has issued the city a notice to proceed today for the Capt. Royal Melvin Park improvement project,” said Jeff Cozadd, grants manager of Destin, at the council meeting. “This notice allows us to move forward with the construction phase of this project.” Deputy City Manager Webb Warren said Dec. 23 that the city issued GLC Contracting Inc. of Fort Walton Beach the notice to proceed with the park construction Jan. 4. The work could be completed late next fall, Warren said. City Manager Lance Johnson had told the council that the start of the project represents “a Christmas present to me, because it’s been a long time coming.” The park work was among various projects in Okaloosa County’s initial multi-year plan that outlined the use of funds overseen by the Gulf Coast Restoration Trust. County officials in June 2017 learned that the U.S. Treasury Department had accepted the initial plan. The County Commission late last year approved the final application for the federal money for the park project.

Construction is scheduled to begin in fall 2021 on a 60,000-plus sq. ft. National Guard readiness center at Chennault International Airport. The $24 million Lake Charles Readiness Center will be the future home of multiple Louisiana National Guard (LANG) units who experienced damage to their armory during Hurricane Laura. The plans for the new readiness center began before the storm barreled through southwest Louisiana last August, devastating large parts of Lake Charles and its airport. Lt. Col. Scott Slaven, LANG’s construction facilities management officer, noted recently that progress continues on the planning and design of the new readiness center in Lake Charles despite challenges with COVID-19 and other major storms in 2020. “Through the efforts and dedication of our design partner, Holly and Smith Architects from Hammond, La., design is now 60 percent complete,” he said. “This has truly been a collaborative effort, and I look forward to the day when we can turn over a first-class facility to our soldiers.” Brig. Gen. Keith Waddell, the Adjutant General of LANG, also supports the progress on the new building. “We’re looking forward to beginning construction on the Lake Charles Readiness Center in 2021 and are pleased with the opportunity to continue working with the leadership at Chennault International Airport, the city of Lake Charles and other state and local stakeholders,” Waddell commented. “Our priority remains serving the citizens of Louisiana.” The new facility will serve as the headquarters and headquarters company of the 3rd Battalion of the 156th Infantry Regiment; Detachment 1, H Company of the 199th Support Battalion; and B Company of LANG’s Recruiting and Retention Battalion. It also will support approximately 170 soldiers. “We welcome and look forward to the development of the 3-156 Infantry Battalion’s new home at Chennault International Airport,” said Kevin Melton, executive director of the airport. “We’re proud to host — right here in our own backyard — the robust and important training of the warriors of the Louisiana National Guard. The addition of the new Guard facility supports Chennault’s vision of growth for the economic good for our region and state.” The mission and purpose of the Lake Charles Readiness Center will be to provide space for training, administration and material storage for the assigned National Guard units. Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter welcomed the announcement. “This is a monumental announcement coming on the heels of a truly difficult year,” Hunter said. “The Louisiana National Guard’s commitment to build a multi-million-dollar Readiness Center at Chennault is a true testament to the value the airport brings to our regional economy. Now, more than ever, a diversified economy is critical to the rebuilding of our community.”

Five School Districts Receive Millions in Construction Grants Five North Carolina public school districts in economically distressed areas will be receiving approximately $60 million in grant funds for construction of new school buildings. The news was announced by former N.C. Superintendent of Public Instruction Mark Johnson prior to his term ending in early January. The monies will be disbursed to the districts from the Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund. In a press release, Johnson said, “This is the fourth year and the second time [in 2020] that these funds have been made available to benefit our students and educators who have had to deal with outdated facilities. These grants will help address our state’s need to replace old, outdated schools with better learning environments.” The N.C. General Assembly created the Needs-Based Public School Capital Fund using a combination of revenue from the North Carolina Education Lottery and a local dollar match. In Tier 1, the most distressed areas, the match is $1 for every $3 in grant funds. In Tier 2, the match is one-to one. The maximum grant amount per project is $15 million in Tier 1 counties and $10 million in Tier 2 counties. The five districts are Bladen, Carteret, Catawba, Cleveland and Harnett counties. Johnson’s press release included the following dollar amounts and details of the construction projects planned in each area: • Bladen County: $15 million to build a new pre-K through 8th grade middle school to replace two existing facilities and combine them on one campus. The buildings to be replaced include a middle school that is more than 100 years old and a primary school that is 69 years old ($22 million total project cost) • Carteret County: $10 million to build new classrooms, dining, science, band and gymnasium space at West Carteret High School; a new multipurpose gymnatorium at White Oak Elementary School; new classrooms and a gymnasium at Croatan High School; a new gymnasium at East Carteret High School; and a 14-classroom addition at Broad Creek Middle School ($24.6 million total project cost) • Catawba County’s Newton-Conover City Schools: $10 million to build a new academic wing at NewtonConover High School to replace a building that was originally constructed in 1964 ($20.8 million total cost) • Cleveland County: $15 million to build a 900-seat auditorium on the campus of Burns High School and a new 900seat auditorium at Crest High School ($20 million total cost) • Harnett County: $10 million to build a new Northwest Harnett Elementary School to accommodate a 950-student enrollment capacity. The school will be pre-K through 5 ($37.5 million total project cost). The Needs Based Public School Capital Fund has awarded a total of $358.9 million to 31 local school districts since 2016. Projects funded include the replacement of 31 existing schools and the creation of 36 new schools or school buildings.

Construction Begins On $273M Catawba Nation N.C. Casino Casino lovers can begin counting down for the opening of the planned Catawba Indian Nation resort in North Carolina. Tribal Administrator Elizabeth Harris said earlier in December that the Catawba Nation intends to open the first part of its new $273 million Two Kings Casino Resort in Kings Mountain by next fall. The site is located 35 mi. west of Charlotte. “After clearing is complete, we will begin building an introductory facility,” Harris told The Charlotte Observer in an email. The 60,000-sq.-ft. facility off Dixon School Road near Interstate 85 will include at least 1,300 slot machines, a restaurant and other “basic amenities,” she said. The first phase will require an investment of between $80 million and $100 million and would include money for road improvements to handle the added traffic, Harris added. In a Dec. 1 post on Facebook, tribe leaders invited tribal citizens who own flooring, electrical, landscaping and other construction-related businesses to participate in the first part of the project. Tribal leaders said they would forward the owners’ names to the project’s general contractor. The Catawbas’ reservation is in Rock Hill, S.C, but with see CASINO page 88

Wiregrass Uses Spray Paver to Expedite Freeway Work By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT
Have you ever wondered where the water goes when you are driving in the rain on the freeway? When driving on a similar rainy day on city streets and county roads, drivers often experience considerable splash, spray and sometimes hydroplaning. The driver’s vision can be obscured by the splash and some dangerous skids can occur. Years ago, departments of transportation around the country addressed that problem on interstates by often requiring contractors to produce a microlayer, usually less than an inch thick, called open graded friction course (OGFC). The OGFC has enough air voids in the pavement that water can drain through the layer and out the sides, keeping the pavement drier and more skid resistant. Like many DOTs, the Alabama Department of Transportation Southeast Region Montgomery Area uses OGFC on its interstates where applicable to improve safety. ALDOT recognizes the importance of this “safety layer” and also emphasizes the need to get the jobs done as soon as possible, so the roads can be returned to traffic quickly. Wes Fulmer, ALDOT construction engineer of the Southeast Region Montgomery Area, has worked with Wiregrass Construction on several local projects using OGFC that have met and exceeded requirements. “Of course, the performance of the finished road and its quality have always been of primary importance to us,” he said. “Wiregrass and some of the other companies have used the spray paver to help achieve those objectives. This paver allows the workers to apply the tack coat and the OGFC at a single pass. They don’t have to sit around for an hour waiting for the tack coat to ‘set up’ before applying what we call the safety layer [OGFC].” Wiregrass Construction has used the spray paver on several projects in the central district with good results. The standard method, which is still in use, consists of applying the tack coat, waiting for it to break, set, then dealing with the tack sticking to the tires of vehicles. This often creates
Wiregrass Construction worked with Alabama DOT’s Southeast Region Montgomery Area on projects to create a “safety layer” for the highways, enabling motorists to drive more safely in rainy conditions.
Work crews used the Roadtec SP-200e spray paver for a faster, more efficient application of a tack coat on the highway jobs.
tiny asphalt tack balls that later have to be raked out by workers. Garrett Pass, the central Alabama regional director of Wiregrass Construction, has been pleased by the performance of the Spray Paver in his district. Wiregrass has been using the Roadtec SP-200e spray paver,
which carries a 2,000-gal. tank of tack. Wiregrass used a distributor vehicle that kept the tank constantly filled so the paver did not have to stop to refill. They also used a Roadtec SB2500E material transfer vehicle for the central Alabama projects. “Using the spray paver allows the tack
coat application to be easier and safer,” said Pass. “Other tack coat applications used while laying OGFC in the traditional way are sprayed in front of the paver at about 330 degrees. Heating to this temperature can cause unsafe conditions for operators. Spray pavers are also used for laying traditional mixes. Since the tack coat emulsion is applied directly in front of the asphalt screed, there is no tracking or un-bonding of the tack. This process can eliminate most cases of asphalt slides and tack balls.” The Wiregrass Construction team used the spray paver on a job completed in July 2020 on I-65 in Shelby County. The $77 million project required some 300,000 tons of asphalt and involved several subcontractors. Wiregrass was in a joint venture on the project with another local Alabama contractor, Dunn Construction Company. The massive mill-and-fill project required Wiregrass and its partners to remove from 3 to 5 in. of the road, sealing any cracks and applying a new surface course of OGFC at see WIREGRASS page 40

90 lbs. per sq. yd. The job also involved adding additional lanes to what is one of the most heavily traveled roads in the state. Wiregrass also used the spray paver on I-65 in Lowndes County to overlay an existing section of the interstate. Prior to the overlay, Wiregrass repaired longitudinal joints in the pavement. The crews finished 48 lane mi., bringing the road back to peak condition. “We did some micro-milling on I-65 in Montgomery County, replacing just about one inch off the existing road,” said Pass. “Rather than wait several years until major problems show up, the ALDOT has opened up projects like this where we can remove just the top couple of inches of the road and fix minor cracking and other problems before they become major problems.” The Wiregrass team also completed micro-milling on I-65 Gateway Project.
Most of the projects involved using polymer-modified asphalt, which makes the road more flexible and less prone to cracking. Pass and his teams at Wiregrass have found the spray paver to be a seamless addition to their paving train. “The spray nozzles distribute the tack directly in front of the paver’s screen combining almost immediately with the OGFC and ensuring a tight bond with the other layers of the road. The rollers follow the paver in a normal fashion and the road can be turned over to traffic quickly.” Brandon Owens, operations vice president of Wiregrass Construction, said, “Our team is pleased with the quality projects our spray paver crew has given the customer and the traveling public. We are thankful to our hard-working employees who embrace technology and learn different construction methods to help Wiregrass Construction be successful.” CEG
The team at Wiregrass Construction used the spray paver on several projects on I65, one of the busiest highways in Alabama. Because of the heavy traffic, night paving was required.

Cold in-place and full-depth recycling plus high-performance milling — the Wirtgen tracked recycler W 380 CRi is an all-rounder for road rehabilitation.
West Palm Beach, FL (561) 848-6618
With the new generation of cold recyclers, Wirtgen has developed the world’s most modern machines for cold inplace recycling. The tracked recyclers also deliver impressive results during full-depth recycling and high-performance milling. The W 380 CRi made its North American debut at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020, set up as a recycling train with the Vögele paver SUPER 2000 - 3i including extending screed AB 600 TV+ and tandem roller HD+ 140i VVHF HCQ from Hamm.
REYNOLDS-WARREN EQUIPMENT CO. www.reynoldswarren.com
Full-Depth Recycling in Single Pass The asphalt surface is removed, depending on the level of damage, by a recycling train operating across the entire width of the pavement in a single pass, mixed with binding agents on site, and then paved again immediately. The W 380 CRi can recycle the road surface to a full depth of 12 in. (30 cm), so it also is suitable for full-depth recycling (FDR). Variable Road Rehabilitation Beyond Machine Working Width The W 380 CRi also can restore road surfaces beyond the available working widths of 10.5 ft. (320 cm), 11.5 ft. (350 cm) and 12.5 ft. (380 cm). In this case, the recycler picks up the material that was pre-milled on the side by a cold milling machine and adds it to the mixing process. Due to a mixing capacity of 787.2 tons (800 t) per hour in combination with rear loading onto a road paver with the appropriate stockpiling and paving screed, even very wide road surfaces can be rehabilitated in a single pass, according to the manufacturer. W 380 CRi Impresses as High-Performance Milling Machine The W 380 CRi also can be used as high-performance milling machine. Due to its high engine power of 1,054 PS/1,038 hp (US Tier 4f/EU Stage 5) and conveyor capacity,

Using the adjustable material guide system on the front of the machine, the W 380 CRi also can pick up deposited milling granulate and add it to the mixing process.
the W 380 CRi can manage removal work to a milling depth of 14 in. This enables large-scale rehabilitation work to be carried out quickly, such as on motorways, runways at airports, or the removal of complete asphalt packages, as well as the homogenization and granulation of damaged asphalt layers.

Curb Roller’s New Batt Screed 6000: Lightweight, Versatile, Battery-Powered ASCENDUM MACHINERY www.ascendummachinery.com
The Batt Screed 6000 is a lightweight, versatile roller screed that operates with no cords, hoses or fumes, offering enhanced mobility, precision and efficiency to contractors of all sizes.
NORTH CAROLINA Asheville (828) 687-0620 Charlotte (704) 596-8283 Greenville (252) 754-5280 Raleigh (919) 661-8710 SOUTH CAROLINA Piedmont (864) 704-1060 Columbia (803) 791-0740 Charleston (843) 414-1120
Curb Roller Manufacturing, a manufacturer of shaped concrete roller screeds, offers the Batt Screed 6000 battery-powered roller screed. The lightweight, versatile roller screed operates with no cords, hoses or fumes, offering enhanced mobility, precision and efficiency to contractors of all sizes, according to the manufacturer. The Batt Screed eliminates the hassle of working around a cord and the added weight of an engine mounted on the screed. The unit gets its power from a removable and rechargeable 60-volt lithium ion DeWalt FLEXVOLT battery. Contractors may be familiar with this line of batteries and their versatile use in smaller or heavy-duty cordless tools like hammer drills or cutoff saws. One fully charged battery is estimated to screed off 1,800-2,500 sq. ft., depending on the slump and pipe length. By eliminating an auxiliary power source, the Batt Screed 6000 can be operated almost anywhere. Unlike gas, electric and hydraulic roller screeds, the Batt Screed eliminates exhaust fumes, power cords and the need for hydraulic power sources, making it practical for indoor operation or use in tight spaces. The Batt Screed easily accommodates jobs from 3 to 22 ft. with expandable tube inserts, making it highly versatile. This flexibility makes it ideal for both small and large jobs including bike trails, golf cart paths, garage pads, shed floors, grain bin pads and parking lots. “Our Curb Roller team is continuously looking to lead the industry with products that make customers more profitable,” said Seth Ulmer, Curb Roller Manufacturing sales manager. “We don’t design ‘me too’ products. We provide the tools that contractors want, with the features that allow them to get more jobs done.” Because roller screeds spin the concrete into shape versus vibrating the concrete, larger aggregate, and more of it, remains near the surface of the slab, providing increased structural integrity. Conversely, vibrating screeds use vibration to form the concrete which often causes the aggregate to fall to the bottom of the slab, leaving the concrete more open to
spalling. With a lightweight design and a folding handle, the Batt Screed 6000 is easy to operate and transport. The smart and simple design includes an adjustable right- or left-hand speed control, variable speed in both high and low ranges, and a three-position handle that allows for a more ergonomic operation for operators. The multi-position handle gives operators more versatility when it comes to obstacles or limiting factors during a pour. For example, if a contractor is pouring a driveway, they can position the handle outward to allow them to walk outside of the forms. The Batt Screed design includes a heavy-duty kickstand that enables the operator to leave the screed free-standing during a pour. Other screeds that don’t have this feature risk being set in wet concrete or dust, which can be detrimental to the operation of the machine, according to the manufacturer. The kickstand increases the cleanliness and longevity of the unit. The Batt Screed’s kickstand and handle fold and lock away for compact and lightweight transport without removing the battery, reducing the risk of broken parts during transport. The Batt Screed features strong connection points that help prevent unnecessary wear or breakage. The single pin connection on both ends allows the operator to remove the pipe from the handles in less than 60 seconds. The quick assembly and break down of the Batt Screed enhance productivity enabling contractors to complete more projects each day. “Time is money on any construction project,” Ulmer said. “The faster a contractor can complete the job and get on to the next jobsite, the more profitable they can be. The Batt Screed addresses that challenge and so much more.” The Batt Screed’s all-steel housing protects the motor and electrical components inside from moisture, concrete and accidental impact, and an access door protects the battery from dirt and debris.

Built Robotics Aspires to Automatize industry
By Lori Lovely CEG CORRESPONDENT
Demand in the construction industry has remained steady since the pandemic began, but productivity has slowed continuously over recent years, in part because skilled equipment operators are hard to find. Because critical infrastructure still needs to be maintained or rebuilt, construction dollars must deliver stronger return on investment and job sites need more efficient tools, contractors are turning to new technologies such as automation and robotics to improve productivity and efficiency. Automation has been creeping into the construction industry for some time, but robotics and autonomous vehicles have played very limited roles so far. Two men intend to change that. Built Foundation Noah Ready-Campbell, founder and CEO of Built Robotics, and Andrew Liang, co-founder and lead robotics engineer, met through a mutual friend and launched their company in 2016. Six months later, they had their first prototype up and running. As the son of a carpenter and contractor, ReadyCampbell grew up around construction. He even worked for his dad for a while, renovating old houses. But after college, he took a job at Google. With a lifelong passion for robotics, he decided to apply one interest to another. In preparation — and on his dad’s advice — he rented a John Deere 135G excavator and learned to use it by digging a pond in his family’s back yard. From that simple, self-taught beginning, ReadyCampbell turned Built into a multi-million-dollar start-up
Built’s technology turns standard construction equipment — including excavators, dozers and skid steers — into fully-autonomous robots.
that sells equipment that can enable a backhoe or dozer to pilot itself for certain tasks. The equipment consists of a high-powered computer, motion and angle sensors, and a laser scanner called lidar that is often used in selfdriving cars. Today, Built Robotics is the only company offering commercial-grade autonomous construction equipment. “In some other industries like mining, robotics has made headway, but Built Robotics guidance systems are the only solutions currently available for construction,” said Erol Ahmed, director of communications. New Way They took a new approach to the business of construction. Built’s culture is unique for a technology company, Ahmed said. They work closely with their customer partners, relying heavily on feedback to improve their product. Usually, feedback focuses on reliability and precision when digging, he noted, adding that they also incorporated feedback into building richer software and analytics capabilities, as well as better ways of installing and deploying the machines outside of the technology itself. “Our insistence on working on site with part-
ners, a real-world testing facility, mandatory construction training, involvement in education, membership in key organizations and industry-veterans as advisors has enabled us to stay close to the challenges and needs of the construction industry and deliver products that work for what people need,” Ahmed said. see BUILT page 56

Differences Autonomous vehicles aren’t exactly new; automakers have been working on the technology, particularly in the transportation industry, where Volvo has been developing an autonomous and electric carrier capable of moving heavy loads. Instead of a driver in a cab, the HX2 uses digital logistics-driven control technology to detect people and other obstacles. But in contrast with autonomous vehicles on public roads, construction projects occur in relatively constrained environments with controlled variables, Ahmed said. Most job sites have few people, and those who are on site are trained professionals, allowing the robots to work in a more predictable setting than the challenging environments faced by self-driving cars. Many construction sites use drones with sensors such as lidar with GPS. Controlled remotely by mobile devices, they can capture important information from aerial views, which is then used for building information modeling on a project. But Built Robotics is the first to use AI guidance systems on dirt-moving equipment.

parts of the I-5 highway system in California, graded pads for large-scale residential developments and dug trenches for energy projects,” Ahmed said. The upgraded equipment is able to perform jobsite activities completely autonomously, Ahmed said, such as digging trenches, excavating foundations and grading building pads. “It cannot do everything a skilled operator can do,” he admitted, but it can focus on “automatic, discreet, specific tasks.” The equipment excels in greenfield excavation: areas without underground infrastructure and those that consist of “fresh” dirt. “Right now, those are the best areas for our robots to operate in,” Ahmed said. “The robots are best used for excavation tasks: trenching, excavating, backfilling, grading, compaction, demolition, clearing [and] foundation digging.”
How It Works An autonomous fleet can be managed via a Webbased platform, allowing equipment operators on site to supervise and control the robots. After an operator specifies the GPS coordinates of an area to be dug, an excavator will drive itself to the starting point and proceed to complete the job, digging up to thousands of Noah Ready-Campbell is founder and CEO of Built Robotics.

lugging Into Technology By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT
When it first emerged, the idea of a satellite-linked computer raising and lowering a bulldozer blade struck some people, particularly experienced dozer operators, as just plain wrong. They had worked hard to master the art of moving dirt and prided themselves on being able to come within a few inches of grade mostly by eyeballing it. That was the defensive attitude Chuck Harris encountered when he opened the doors of his Benchmark Tool and Supply Co. in 2004 in Raleigh, N.C. Among his first tasks was to show an operator that machine control technology could enhance his grading experience, rather than put him out of a job. “There was a bit of resistance initially,” Harris said, reflecting on the early days of machine controls. Topcon was just introducing its next generation 3D machine control platform technology in 2004. Harris called that development a turning point in machine controls, which meant Benchmark was opening its doors at a propitious time. “Topcon had the most intuitive 3D solution for the construction market,” Harris said, “and that helped feed the adoption rate. It reduced the level of fear for operators, the fear of the technology replacing them. Experienced operators pushed back at the idea of putting a computer in the cab with them. They soon learned that putting a grade-checker in the seat alongside them made them that much better.”
The Topcon system uses different data points on the machine to deliver on grade performance.
coming together, he recalled, ‘I saw a pretty good opportunity. I was familiar with computer-aided design and drafting. When CADD, surveying technologies and machine automation began to be put together in one package, it helped propel our business.” Laser technology, survey instruments and computer software were the calling cards in the beginning. The laser technology was a proven technology, going back more than half a century with practical applications first coming out in 1963. Its visible red beams were snapped up early on by manufacturers of construction surveying equipment. All of which is to say standalone laser and survey equipment incorporating it is pretty old hat in 2021, a “commodity,” Harris termed it. “The stuff has been around for years and it still is a tool that contractors rely on. But there is no need for it to continue to

evolve because there aren’t many more problem that it can solve.” That is not the case with some less mature lines of technology, including machine controls. That technology continues to quickly evolve. Horizontal and vertical precision has been greatly enhanced. That spot-on performance has led to GPS control of concrete screed machines that put the finishing touch on parking lots, pads for industrial floors and other large-volume paving projects. “In the last couple of years, Topcon has introduced a very solid technology portfolio for paving, both concrete and asphalt. The market has really started to accept it,” Harris said. “Overall, the automation adoption rate is increasing at a rapid pace. We are excited that there are amazing new technology offerings now with lower initial costs for smaller contractors.” Drones are another technology still evolving and growing in popularity as a construction tool, especially within the last few years. The unmanned aerial vehicles are finding favor with contactors in site surveys and inspection of material stockpiles. Benchmark has a full line of drone models. Some of the larger more sophisticated and expensive models can carry a Lidar sensor to map areas before construction and verify that conditions on the ground match plans. This can’t be done with standard drone equipment with an RGB camera because the Lidar unit can penetrate foliage. Despite the relatively low cost of the technology, Harris estimated that less than five percent of contractors use the compact unmanned flying machines. “There is a fear of adoption, just like there was with machine automation. But I’m confident it will be rapidly growing.” As the markets for machine controls
expands, manufacturers of construction equipment are embedding systems in machines at the factory, which is boosting utilization rates. Aftermarket options also are continuing to evolve, at a quicker pace and with new offerings. Harris can make a case for both factory-integrated automation components or after-market installation. Benchmark Tool and Supply is not just a sales outlet. The company employs service techs to install technology products on heavy machinery and services all the equipment it represents. “That’s one of our differentiators as a company,” the company owner said. “We do warranty work on all the equipment we sell, servicing it here in one of our five locations or on a project site.” The company rents out its equipment, too, from its locations in North Carolina

and Virginia. While rental of a drone might seem less likely to occur than rental of, say, a skid steer, it happens. “A small fraction of our business is rental,” Harris said, “but it’s increasing. This year is a little different, but more and more contractors are in the market and the adoption rate of the technology is increasing for technologies for short-term projects. It’s a market we are catering to.” The largest piece of Benchmark’s business is construction — other products include iDig grade control attachments for more accurate and safe operation of excavators — but the company also does a “fair amount” of selling and servicing agricultural machines. Then there is the ABI Force. It is a laser-guided, zero-turn, multi-attachment, stand-on machine that grades, aerates and renovates a plot of ground quickly and, it appears in video demonstrations, rather

enjoyably. “It is a new offering,” Harris said. “Our focus is on landscapers, concrete contractors and athletic field builders and maintainers. There are a lot of opportunities there.” ** Hi-tech equipment is not just for customers. Benchmark Tool and Supply uses it in-house in a variety of ways. Remote training videos, webinars and video podcasts are some of its methods of communicating with customers. And company techs stay in touch with equipment through telematics. “The technology is a big thing for service support. We are connected to many devices we sell. It’s been a big timesaver for our customers and our group. Where we might normally deploy a field technician, we can solve a problem in a matter of seconds.” To connect company and customers — and equipment — they have been authorized by Verizon and AT&T to set up data connection plans. That means, Harris said, “we can access a customer account and get them online, get it set up and running. We don’t have to call a supplier to take care of an issue.” Harris foresees increasing connectivity of that sort and more and more remote management of devices and projects through new generations of electronic and miniaturized technology. It’s a brave new world of great promise and there still are lots of contractors out there not converted to it. Consider machine controls, for example. Harris pegs use of the technology by contractors at about 35 percent. That is, 65 percent still are not plugged in. “But that number is starting to ramp up. We’ll see growth continuing in a big way over the next several years.” CEG

How Much
TECHNOLOGY
By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT
Automated. Robotic. Precise. These and other adjectives characterize construction equipment today. The question that sometimes follows is, to what end? As it turns out, that’s a pretty good question. James River Equipment offers some answers. The John Deere dealership with a string of stores across Virginia and North Carolina is committed to promoting the use of ever-more technologically sophisticated machinery and in utilizing the technology in its operations. “We are working very hard to become cutting edge on technology,” said company President Mark Romer. Deere itself is heavily into technological solutions for contractors. That became apparent to Alex Dixon when the manufacturer began to roll out its SmartGrade crawler dozers (2016) and motor graders (2019) with integrated machine controls. “That was when it became clear to us that the expectations of us as a dealer were shifting,” said Dixon, the company’s manager of Worksight Solutions. “It made us shift our focus on technology. We could see clearly that GPS machine control was not going to be a niche part of the market any longer.”
Is Enough? James River Equipment Has the Answers
**
Technologies that today are having so much impact on construction equipment — and machinery in allied industries such as agriculture, landscaping and forestry — are not really new. Rather, they are new-generation systems rooted in scientific and engineering explorations of the 20th century. Computer software dates to the 1940s, lasers to the 1950s, electronic miniaturization to the 1960s, the satellite-based Global Positioning System to the 1970s. These and other technologies began to come together on construction job sites in the 1990s and early 2000s. Names like Topcon, Trimble and Leica now are as familiar to many construction contractors as are the names of leading heavy equipment manufacturers. Increasingly, the brands are mentioned in the same breath. James River Equipment is considered
tech-savvy. Dixon noted that in the same way technological advances are embraced in other aspects of our lives — i.e., smartphones — “tech is the future in construction. We’ve expended a lot of effort being innovative and staying on the cutting edge. Our Worksight Solutions team is an embodiment of that. The team concentrates on two areas: machine control and consulting with customers on fleet management, maintenance and support.” The grade control specialists “champion the technology” by showing customers how to use the controls installed at the factory, or the devices added later. The specialists have authoritative knowledge of construction machinery or are deeply experienced engineers and satellite positioning experts. They bring their expertise to bear in helping equipment owners fully utilize machine control
James River Equipment said that the true cost of technology should be calculated at the very end, in the results produced by it, not in its price tag.
technology. The Worksight team’s second purpose — fleet management and support — is achieved through telematic connections. “We observe about 12,000 machines and respond to about 200 alerts a day,” Dixon said. Monitoring stations are sprinkled across the dealer’s network of stores, but employees dedicated to monitoring do so from big screen centers in Ashland and Manassas in Virginia, and Charlotte and Raleigh in North Carolina. When a machine appears to be underfunctioning or malfunctioning, they are on the phone to the equipment operator or owner, a much more rapid intervention than otherwise would be possible. A James River Equipment technology team equivalent to Dixon’s works the ag equipment side. There is plenty to track there, too, with Deere currently pushing development of an autonomous electric tractor, an autonomous drone sprayer and various artificial intelligence advancements. Because GPS is central to machine control, much of the company’s tech support on the construction side begins there. Finetuned positioning of dozer blades and of excavator buckets, for example, is dependent on the satellite feeds. On the ag side, the global positioning component is less about interfacing with a machine and more about harvest calculations and mapping and such. “John Deere is very focused on technology,” Dixon said. “There’s no doubt about it. It’s in every product line. We at James River Equipment really do have the same focus. We’re aligned with Deere. We want to push ahead in innovative ways and produce specific results for our customers.” ** The performance of today’s equipment keeps growing, if incrementally in some areas. Dixon attributed the growth to the development of ever-more responsive

equipment as well as to proliferation of GPS constellations and capabilities. In addition, after-market devices are complementing integrated solutions. Example: GPS controls are teaming up with robotic Total Stations for even greater accuracy. So, the question: How much technology is enough? Is building a grade within a quarter of an inch of a planned level really more valuable than coming within, say, an inch and a half? Yes, according to Dixon. “It is not just about the result, but how you get there. The performance technologies not only give a precise result, they produce productivity and efficiency. The intersection of quality work, productivity and efficiency is where you generate the profits you’re after.” The Worksight Solutions manager acknowledged continued resistance to the technology revolution. One reason: A leap forward in performance usually means a leap upward in cost. “If we could promote the fact that investing in the equipment will produce X amount more efficiency, we would, but customer situations are so variable. There is no one formula for return on investment because workload is so different. But customers who do invest tell us they see the results. The math is working for them.” He differentiates between the price tag of a new technology and cost. “There still are a lot of folks out there who don’t use new generations of technology. No problem. We partner up with those customers the same way we have in the past. But we do promote making the investment and improving per-

formance of their equipment and their business. The true cost of technology should be calculated at the very end, in the results produced by it, not in its price tag. People who invest in technology and know how to use it and how to operate it, they achieve extraordinary results.” He added that a step-by-step approach works for some. That’s why Deere equipment can be fitted for a basic 2D control system and later upgraded to accept a 3D automatic system. A customer can be shown how to start out with a basic piece of equipment and then move up to a more comprehensive solution. ** The process of utilizing technology is enhanced through James River’s customer training. Dixon said the company’s mobile classroom is an effective teaching module. “We can take classes to a customer at his
convenience, teach a couple of operators at a time or a whole crew. It lets us talk about a machine in the classroom and then step right outside the door and hands-on demonstrate the technology. But there are times when a conference room here at the office or a training room in a dealership is the better setting for a class.” Customers haven’t asked for virtual training sessions, but videos, slide shows and interactive media are common. Then there are the simulators. “We have one trailer set up with machine simulators,” the manager said. “It’s a pretty hi-tech set-up, sort of Bulldozer Meets Video Game. It’s entertaining because it’s cool, but it is very realistic.” The simulated training is used with newhire and experienced operators alike. It also is rolled out for open house demonstrations and training events at dealerships where they can’t actually get on a machine and push dirt. Typical training sessions are, well, not typical because the sessions are held for a
host of reasons. Training supports the delivery of a new piece of equipment. Or it can help a company familiarize a veteran crew with a new grade control feature. Brand new operators are introduced to a machine in some sessions. The training can be for a customer’s tech specialist who, in turn, trains operators. Shop techs are trained on maintenance and repair. How about CEOs? Do the people at the top ever come to the classes? “Sometimes,” Dixon said. “CEOs or owners who are engaged with what is going on in the operations side of their companies do show up for the training sessions.” With new models and technological features continuing to roll out of executive suites in Moline, Ill., the need for training isn’t going away. Dixon cited updated technology in Deere’s L Series crawler dozers. Some excavators are being upgraded from GPS indicate-only to automatic operation. This year, Deere is introducing its mastless 333G SmartGrade compact track loader, the first one with integrated controls. To keep customers current on innovations, the company has eight specialists spread out across Virginia and North Carolina dedicated to the task of keeping operators up to speed. “This business is about people more than anything,” Dixon said. “Equipment is what we do, but people is who we serve, both employees and customers. If we continue to put that people value ahead of all the other stuff, we’ll all be successful.” CEG

adjustments or resume manual operation of the robot. “The robots know what their safe operating angles, loads and ranges are,” Ahmed said, “so if the terrain or weather is stressing those limits, the robots will stop working and a remote operator will step in to adjust and recalibrate.” No need for an engineer to program it; the user simply needs to input basic coordinate data, such as a start and end point. The robot figures out the rest. “Built’s software is designed to be simple and easy to use,” Ahmed said, adding, “A user should be comfortable with construction drawings and plans, computer usage and have a knowledge of equipment and electronics maintenance to use our software most effectively.” Countless changes have made valuable improvements to the technology and hardware on the equipment, Ahmed acknowledged. While too many to list individually, the major areas of improvement include: • Rugged and durable hardware to work in the harshest of weather — heat, cold and rain; • Improvements to the software to allow the robot to work for hours and hours without any human intervention; • Streamlined and standardized safety protocols and feedback to keep people safe; and • Easier and faster deployment, installation, maintenance and setup. Benefits Robotic equipment provides numerous benefits on a construction site, starting with productivity gains. “A single operator can supervise a fleet of equipment instead of being tied to one machine,” Ahmed said. Autonomous vehicles and construction robotics are not intended to replace manual labor, but they can increase productivity, enhance efficiency and promote safety by eliminating human error. Tasks can be isolated and individually automated without disrupting other aspect of the work site. This allows the robots to focus on one problem, solve it and move on to the next task. Other advantages include: • Better utilization: expensive capital equipment like an excavator can be utilized for up to 24 hours per day, allowing contractors to achieve the same production with fewer pieces of heavy equipment; • Shorter timelines: excavation activities can be completed more quickly, so overall timelines shrink with across-the-board savings for a project; • Improved efficiency: robots typically work with less fuel, fewer errors and less wear and tear on equipment; and • Health and safety: by taking operators out of harm’s way, automated equipment can help employers save on insurance, lost productivity and other health and safety costs. The robots can manage dangerous, repetitive work and allow people to work in safer environments.
Changing Playing Field The construction industry has been historically slow to adopt new technology, but there’s no escaping the automation revolution. Autonomous equipment will become standard in the industry for a number of reasons, changing the playing field as it gains acceptance. Ready-Campbell told Wired that the unions were initially skeptical when his company’s technology began appearing at construction sites. “We got a lot of questions early on about whether these robots are here to steal jobs. The answer is no.” He explained that the computers are not “smart enough” to steal jobs, but they can make life easier for operators by

allowing them to perform the “more challenging and valuable work” like more complex excavations. While declining to specify the payback period because it varies according to the situation, Ahmed said that customers using Built’s AI technology often realize savings and productivity improvements almost immediately because they can re-deploy skilled workers to higher-level tasks and increase throughput and working hours on the job site. Not only that, robotic technology creates a new class of work. “Robots require new skills and ways of working at the job site, which is enabling a new class of laborer to exist,” Ahmed said. He believes that “upskilling” workers into new careers will protect jobs from changes in the market. “By letting robots handle mundane tasks, existing skilled laborers can focus on new types of work and higher-level demands. The goal of automation is to help increase productivity and focus human labor on the highest-value activities so that the economy can continue operating at a fast speed.” With many current equipment operators nearing retirement age at a time when the Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts a 10 percent increase in construction jobs until 2028 — twice the rate for other occupations — the timing may be right for autonomous equipment. Inevitable It’s coming. Sources such as Tractica and Research and Markets estimate that the market for construction robotics could grow to somewhere between $126.4 million and $226 million by 2025. The International Federation of Robotics and the Robotic Industries Association predict a compound annual growth rate of 8.7 percent between 2018 and 2022. One thing that expedites Built’s foray into autonomous
vehicles is that they don’t need regulatory approval if they aren’t working on public roads. That makes the time to market shorter than consumer self-driving cars. “It’s faster to develop and deploy robots in construction,” Ahmed said. “Construction sites function differently from public roads, where there is a larger body of regulatory laws. Different government agencies have oversight of requirements for running equipment on public roads that construction sites do not need to take into account. The technology can be deployed faster because the robots can be deployed in specific terrains and environments.” In fact, they’re already working, mainly on energy projects, digging foundations for wind turbines or oil and gas pipeline trenches. Ahmed detailed the value of autonomous equipment in the construction industry that will result in the continued rise of their use. Technology startups have historically ignored the construction industry because of their unfamiliarity with the market and the complexities involved in selling and distributing to construction companies, he said, but it left an opening for innovation. Construction labor productivity has fallen over 50 percent over the past few decades, taking into consideration rising wages and cost of living, combined with little development of new construction tools and methodologies. “While other industries have been transformed, construction has stagnated. The effect is that, adjusting for inflation, a building today costs twice as much as it did 40 years ago.” He said Built sees robotics as “the foundation of economic growth” that will help the industry rise to meet these challenges. “We see robotics as being one key to how we tackle and conquer our biggest challenges in the built world. Our roadmap for the next year is about scaling our technology and getting it into as many hands as possible.” CEG

Flying Taxi Startup to Build Hub for Its Electric Aircraft One of Germany’s premier flying taxi startups just gained a foothold in the United States. Lilium, the five-year-old venture-backed startup from Munich, announced earlier in November that it will build a 56,000-sq.-ft. transportation hub for its aerial taxi service in Orlando, Fla. The company aims to have passengers taking regional trips in its electric five-seater aircraft starting in 2025. Lilium said it will construct a $25 million “vertiport” in Lake Nona, Fla., a planned community of approximately 65,000 people within the Orlando city limits. It will work with the primary real estate developer in the area, Bahamasbased Tavistock Development Company, on the planning and construction of the vertiport. The aircraft maker said the project will be privately financed, though the Orlando City Council is considering awarding the company an $831,250 tax break over nine years, according to the Orlando Business Journal. Lilium added that the hub will create more than 100 jobs, and the city estimates the transportation center will generate $1.7 million in economic activity in a 10-year period. Lilium is the latest electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) startup to take an incremental step toward launching a full-scale regional transportation service. The company’s chief operating officer, Remo Gerber, told The Verge the plan is to create service where passengers can fly to nearby cities in a much shorter time than it takes to drive.
“So now they can connect to Tampa in 30 minutes, which is a notorious one-and-a-half to two-hour drive,” Gerber said. “There’s no other alternative to get there. But you cannot just get to Tampa, you can go two extra minutes and you’re in St. Petersburg.” Lilium burst onto the scene in 2017 when it announced the first test flight of its two-seater prototype. Two years later, the company started testing its five-seater prototype, the Lilium Jet. The Jet is not your typical aircraft; there is no tail, rudder, propellers or gearbox. It has an egg-shaped cabin perched on landing gear with a pair of parallel tilt-rotor wings. The wings are fitted with a total of 36 electric jet engines that tilt up for vertical takeoff and then shift forward for horizontal flight. In final form, the Lilium Jet will have a range of 186 mi. and a top speed of 186 mph, the company said. Those capabilities are much better than many of its competitors are predicting of their electric aircraft. Gerber said this was due to the Jet’s fixed-wing design, which requires less than 10 percent of its maximum 2,000 hp during cruise flight. Just this past year alone, the company has raised $275 million from investors, but the funding round fell short of the $400 million to $500 million that TechCrunch reported Lilium was pursuing last October. The German aircraft maker is not the only company with designs for flying taxis. There are more than 100 different electric aircraft programs in development worldwide.
Additionally, Lilium is not the only eVTOL company eyeing a U.S.-based service. Earlier this year, Chinese drone maker Ehang demonstrated its autonomous air taxi in America for the first time, with its all-electric two-seater flying above a test track south of Raleigh, N.C., for about five minutes. Of course, Lilium and all its competitors will need to overcome many serious technical, financial, and regulatory hurdles before any of their small, battery-powered aircraft are cleared for takeoff. Lilium, for instance, needs to publicly demonstrate that the Jet is safe for human passengers and that its battery range can be independently verified. The power-to-weight ratio is a huge challenge for electric flight. Energy density — the amount of energy stored in each system — is the key metric, and today’s batteries do not contain enough energy to get most planes off the ground. By way of comparison, jet fuel gives an aircraft about 43 times more energy than a battery that is just as heavy. There have been numerous demonstrations of batterypowered flight, but there are no electric aircraft in commercial operation anywhere in the world. Any flying taxi service in the United States will have to be certified by the Federal Aviation Administration. And Lilium still needs to figure out how it will produce its vehicles at mass scale. “Building the networks, getting the approvals, is difficult and hard work,” Gerber said, “but I think all of it is possible. We know it’s possible, but it’s certainly something to remain humble about.”

tractors selected needed to demonstrate knowledge and experience with past similar projects, as well as access to and expert operation of multiple types of heavy construction vehicles and machinery. It gives SCDOT the best value for the completed project, allowing for a faster pre-construction to construction delivery, and therefore yields a faster overall completion date. It also provides greater flexibility if needed changes in the project arise.” Constructed in the 1950s, Interstate 85 is one of the state’s most significant corridors for personal and business travel, as well as the movement of freight for much of the southeastern United States I-85 is a major truck route connecting five southeastern states between Richmond, Va., and Montgomery, Ala.; however, its aging infrastructure, combined with the rapid growth of the nation’s sixth fastest growing state, means I-85 couldn’t sustain traffic needs much longer. According to SCDOT, reconstructing and widening I-85 in Cherokee and Spartanburg counties was one of its top pri-

orities, made possible in part by the gas tax increase enacted by the S.C. Legislature in 2017. SCDOT has since tripled the amount of roadwork across South Carolina. Under its 10year plan to improve the quality of the state’s roads and bridges, the agency is putting that additional investment to work to improve I-85 and accommodate growth in traffic through 2040. “Since this was a design-build procurement, the preparation work involved producing a set of preliminary plans that would allow us to secure the NEPA document,” said Parris. “Federal highway projects are required to have NEPA documentation to authorize construction and the awarding of contracts. This is an FHWA-related interstate project, so the planning, preconstruction and public engagement was extensive. The project featured public meetings and a formal public hearing during which we received comments from the public and narrowed the project design from multiple possible alternatives to the selected design. “This project preparation involved the environmental document, roadway design requirements and existing plans, bridge structure requirements and plans, traffic studies and requirements, geotechnical borings and logs, hydraulic design and video pipe inspections and right-of-way information. From a construction point of view, preparations included traffic management planning and staging, design, equipment and concrete plant mobilization.” In addition to coordinating and communicating with multiple entities, a main challenge involves constructing an interstate with existing traffic. The work calls for reconstructing eight interchanges and replacing multiple bridges, including a CSX rail bridge over the Interstate. Crews are required to keep the highway open to more than 58,000 vehicles that use that portion of I-85 each day. This requires evening and weekend work hours and significant lighting and work-zone protections. Parris said drivers are coping with the construction as best they can. “Construction space is limited. We have to maintain safety for the motorists, our employees and our partners’ employees, and the public. It’s also important to keep people informed of lane closures and road closings. Motorists are inconvenienced with nightly lane closures and multiple temsee WIDENING page 74

The $620 million effort is being carried out in two phases, requiring coordination with FHWA, contractors, local governments, utility companies and property owners. WIDENING from page 68
porary road closures throughout the project; however, the interstate remains open, and we are making important progress toward better infrastructure that will serve motorists for decades to come.” The section 1 rehab southbound from mile marker 77 to 80 has been completed and opened to traffic, as has section 1 northbound from 77 to 80. Crews have been focused on bridge construction, roadway paving, drainage installation, utility relocation, earthwork excavation and earthwork embankment. Every aspect of interstate and interchange construction is taking place, sometimes simultaneously, along different portions of the corridor. As for unexpected issues, said Parris, “A project this size is very complicated. There are weekly changes to resolve minor issues resulting from needed field changes. Most are drainage related or transitions to existing road or structures. This is another purpose of the design-build method. Designers are available to assist as problems arise.” More than 30 types of heavy construction equipment are being used for earthwork, paving, demolition, bridge construction, pile driving, milling and hauling. Heavy machinery includes, but is not limited to: • a John Deere 410L R.T. backhoe • a Caterpillar 305.5E2 compact excavator • .a Volvo EW180E wheeled excavator • Volvo EC480, ECR88D and EC220EL excavators • a Caterpillar 325FL excavator • a John Deere 380G LC excavator • a Caterpillar 262D skid steer • John Deere 700K and 750k LGP dozers • a Caterpillar D4K2 LGP dozer • a Caterpillar 12M3 AWD grader • a Grove RT765E rough terrain crane
• a Link-Belt RTC 8065 65-ton crane • Link-Belt 218HSL and 238HSL crawler cranes Main materials required are dirt, concrete, asphalt, steel and pipe. Approximately 2.1 million cu. yds. will be moved during construction, including 1.2 million cu. yds. of borrow and 900,000 cu. yds. of excavation. Dirt is excavated in locations where it is no longer needed and hauled to areas of the job where dirt is required, depending on new design grade. Parris noted that before work began, the interstate was at maximum capacity and deteriorating. Interchanges were low and substandard to current specifications. The project includes the demolition of existing bridges, along with a few structures associated with right-of-way. In addition, SCDOT and contractors have worked closely with CSX on requirements for replacing the existing railroad bridge. “We will replace the bridge with a new 367-foot-long rail bridge long enough to accommodate future widening, should it be necessary. SCDOT’s bridge replacement funding will cover the cost of laying 4,115 linear feet of new rail associated with the bridge. Also, utilizing unique construction techniques, in 2021 we will replace the bridge by lifting and setting in place the entire new bridge deck, alreadyassembled.” Construction on both phases is expected to be completed in late 2024. For South Carolina Transportation Secretary Christy Hall, the work comes not a moment too soon. “If ever there was one project needed so much by the community and requiring all facets of planning, design and construction, this is it. State leadership invested in a road and bridge improvement plan, and we’re utilizing that investment and all of our capabilities to deliver a best-in-class interstate designed to meet the state’s growth for decades to come.” CEG

What a Relief: Stimulus Adds $284B in Forgiveable Loans PPP from page 1
funds to the $525 billion already distributed. In answer to criticism that minority and women-owned businesses did not get enough money during the first two PPP rounds last year compared with bigger businesses SBA tweaked its program rules. The tweaks also are meant to ensure the program improves the U.S. economy while stamping out potential loan fraud.
The AGC sued SBA over the PPP Loan Necessity Questionnaire because the agency felt it couldn’t paint an accurate picture of the economic uncertainty that companies faced at the time they applied for their loans.
Closing 2020 With Relief The AGC applauded the funds the legislation provides for transportation construction. Stephen E. Sandherr, chief executive officer, said the new measure “should provide some needed relief.” The construction industry, he said, “is coping with project cancellations and job losses in most parts of the country.” The second-largest federal stimulus package of 2020 provides $900 billion in COVID relief. water infrastructure investSandherr noted that the ment.

The measure also includes new funding for waterways, apply for a second PPP loan of up to $2 million. Eligible second-time borrowers must have no more than ports and other maritime facilities. In breaking down the construction funding, AGC noted its 300 employees. Borrowers must have either spent or intend to spend all of government relations team “worked day and night for months fighting to ensure the best possible outcome for the their first-time PPP loan on eligible expenses, such as wages and rent. construction industry.” And businesses will have to show they’ve suffered from Not everything the association lobbied for made it into the package, but it does include “many significant construction the pandemic.

SBA has streamlined the process for obtaining forgiveness Some $46 billion is earmarked for the federal-aid highway and transit programs for ongoing and planned construction for loans of less than $150,000.

Banks and the AGC felt the previously required receipts cancellations. Portions of $82 million set aside for education is eligible and documents were too onerous for smaller borrowers, for construction or renovation projects related to pandemic making it difficult to process the millions of forgiveness applications. needs. Sandherr of AGC said the revised PPP program “reaffirms AGC worked to obtain $25 billion in tax incentives for community buildings development through the extension of the original Congressional intent that employers that used PPP loans to save jobs will not be forced to pay more taxes the New Markets Tax Credit for five years; Tax credits were gained for constructing more than next year as a result.” United Kingdom-based legal intelligence provider 550,000 multifamily housing units via the Low-Income Lexology noted that the CAA expands eligible tax benefits Housing Tax Credit. Nearly $3 billion was secured for wastewater and drinking for PPP loan recipients in several important ways.
Eligible business expenses paid with PPP loan proceeds now are tax-deductible even if the PPP loan is forgiven. Originally, forgiveness of a PPP loan would not result in the forgiven amount being included in the taxpayer’s gross income, as would normally be the case with debt forgiveness. The IRS took the position that, for expenses paid with a forgiven PPP loan that was forgiven, the taxpayer could not also take a business expense deduction. To do so would result in the taxpayer receiving a double tax benefit. But the CAA overrides the IRS and provides that no deduction shall be denied because a PPP loan is forgiven. In response to the CAA, the IRS declared its prior Revenue Ruling 2020-27 and Notice 2020-32 obsolete. The agency confirmed that otherwise deductible business expenses will be deductible even if they were paid with PPP loan proceeds and the taxpayer’s PPP loan is forgiven. Given that demand for many types of commercial construction projects is likely to remain soft in 2021, Sandherr of AGC said, the administration’s plan to tax firms for their forgiven loan amount would have cost many construction jobs. “Instead, the new recovery measure will preserve many of the original benefits of the PPP, something our association has worked aggressively to ensure.” Additionally, according to Lexology, such taxpayer’s tax basis in its assets will not be reduced as a result of the forgiveness of the PPP loan. Second, the CAA significantly expanded the CARES Act’s employee retention tax credit. Employers may now claim the credit even if they receive a PPP loan. The program was criticized last year for allowing fraudsters and big companies to get cash, but the SBA has safeguards in place with the new program. While previously the SBA automatically approved loans that met basic criteria, it now will conduct automated overnight identity management and data verification checks. The goal, according to Reuters, is to ensure the money is see PPP page 82

Work Begins Soon…
NCDOT Approves Dozens of Road Improvements Across Central N.C.
ALABAMA Stone Equipment Co., Inc.
Tarheel State residents need to get ready for road construction in 2021, as the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) gave the green light to dozens of road projects in the central part of the state in early January. The state transportation agency awarded nearly $14 million in contracts to rehabilitate approximately 85 mi. of existing roads in seven counties. The work includes milling and resurfacing roads, along with shoulder work where needed. Construction may begin as soon as March 15. • In Chatham County, crews will repair 9 mi. of U.S. Highway 64 on the Pittsboro bypass, between Exit 378 and the Haw River bridge. Work is scheduled for completion by June 2022 • In Hoke and Moore counties, nearly 7 mi. along U.S. 15501 between the Scotland County line and Aberdeen will be under repair. The contracted completion date is November 2021 • Also, in Moore County, look for construction on almost 14 mi. of parts of U.S. 1 and U.S. 15-501 as well as eight sections of secondary roads. Work is slated to be finished by June 2022
• In Lee County, crews will work on 13 sections totaling 12 mi. of secondary roads. It should be done by June 2022 • Crews also will resurface 11½ mi. of road that include sections of U.S. 15-501 and U.S. 74 Business, plus 10 sections of secondary roads across Scotland and Hoke counties. All those improvements should be wrapped up by June 2022 • Another contract was awarded for nearly 10 mi. of road in Montgomery County, split between two sections each of N.C. Highways 731 and 73, a section of N.C. 109, and nine sections of secondary roads. That work, too, should be done by June 2022 • Richmond County will see work on about 21 mi. of roads, including four sections of U.S. 1, two sections of U.S. 220, nine sections of U.S. 74, a section of N.C. 109 and nine sections of secondary roads. Like all the other projects, if plans hold, it will be ready for traffic by June 2022. Contracts for all these projects were awarded to North Carolina-based companies, including Barnhill Contracting Co. of Rocky Mount, Fred Smith Co. of Raleigh, Hudson Paving Inc. of Rockingham, and S.T. Wooten Corp. of Wilson.
Funding Will Keep Future Construction Projects From Being Canceled, Delayed PPP from page 78
going to legitimate businesses. That could low the approval process by at least a day. However, program administrators are anticipating funds will meet business demand, so companies should not miss out from delays. Industry Drives Revisions AGC helped bring about change in the PPP loan audit process by filing suit to compel the SBA to restrict its use of the Loan Necessity Questionnaire and revise the form. “AGC recognizes that SBA has every right and even an obligation to ensure that companies were eligible for the PPP loans they are now asking SBA to forgive,” stated the association. “But AGC objects to SBA’s use of this particular form — and to any other effort the change standards for loan eligibility.” AGC concluded, after reviewing the document, that “the answers to its questions cannot begin to paint an accurate
picture of the economic uncertainty that companies faced at the time they applied for their loans.” Responding to the association’s push for revisions to SBA’s Loan Necessity Questionnaire, the agency announced this month it will provide additional time for public comment. SBA will also “submit any resulting amendments to the information collection to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for approval.” The SBA had required borrowers of PPP loans more than $2 million to complete the previously-secret questionnaire as they apply for loan forgiveness. The purported purpose of the form is help SBA pass judgment on the certification that all borrowers had to make at the time they applied for their loans. The certification states that “current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the applicant.” The fundamental problems with the form, according to AGC, are that it focuses on the way that the following
months actually played out. It also establishes tests that borrowers could not anticipate, and provides little opportunity for borrowers to explain the real reasons for their economic uncertainty. “Following several weeks of frank and ultimately unproductive communication with federal decision makers, AGC filed its lawsuit against SBA in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia,” reported the association. “The very next day, the SBA issued new guidance on the form, declaring that the agency does not intend to base its decisions solely or exclusively on a borrowers’ responses to the form.” Further, the agency will only decide whether a borrower acted “in good faith at the time of [its] loan application, noted AGC. “The day after that, after months of insisting that it needed to keep the form secret, the SBA officially released the form, posting a copy on the agency’s web site.” CEG

gambling prohibited in South Carolina, the tribe looked across the border for at least seven years. The nation finally won federal approval in March to buy 16 acres for the project. The U.S. Interior Department put the land in trust, a designation that gave the tribe the right to develop a casino. After years of on-again, off-again efforts, the Catawba Nation held a ground-breaking for the casino in July. The tribe submitted a plan to North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper’s office in October detailing how the tribe planned to operate the casino, WRAL-TV first reported. In late November, Harris told the Observer the tribe was in “serious discussions” with Cooper’s office on a so-called compact. The agreement would let the tribe bring Vegasstyle gambling to the Charlotte area, including slot machines, blackjack and roulette at the casino. The compact also would include estimated revenues the state could receive from casino operations, according to WRAL. Asked by the Observer if the tribe would proceed with construction without a compact, Harris said: “Our preference is to work with the state on a compact.”

Joey Martin Auctioneers Kicks Off Its Auction Year With Carrollton, Ga., Sale
O (L-R): Bill McBrayer, Specialty Tree Service, Acworth, Ga.; Lee Cole, Lee Cole Renovations, Carrollton, Ga.; and Mike Lanier, Arkenstone, Acworth, Ga., discuss their preferences of machines to bid on.
n Jan. 13, 2021, Joey Martin Auctioneers kicked off its auctioning year with a successful sale at its Carrollton, Ga., sale site. In addition to a nice turnout of “regulars,” quite a few “first timers” came out to bid on a nice line-up of machines, trailers, support equipment and tankers. CEG
An abundance of mud doesn’t keep bidders away from Joey Martin Auctioneers’ sales. Another good selection of compact track loaders and compact and mini equipment were in this sale. Inspecting a Cat 315CL of interest are Blake Thomas (L), Thomas Land Management, Bremen, Ga., and Jess Rogers, Rogers Hauling, Bowden, Ga.
A variety of dozers also were in the auction lineup.
Tom Powell (L) of Lowbird Outdoors, Atlanta, Ga., and Jared McGaffee of 4M Iron, Charleston, S.C., discuss the line-up of the equipment in the sale.
Looking over a pair of Deere excavators in the sale are Scott Bowden (L) of Crawford Grading & Pipeline, Luthersville, Ga., and Jason Solesbee of the local Georgia John Deere dealership, Flint Equipment Company.
This was definitely the place to be if you were looking to buy oneowner dealer service trucks.
Mike Clower (L) of Joey Martin Auctioneers and Chris Merritt of Merritt Grading, Carrollton, Ga., had a chance to chat about the machines before the sale got under way.
