“The Volvo facility is expected to accommodate more than 4,000 employees by 2040,” said Jae Mattox, South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) program manager.
By Cindy Riley
Construction crews in Berkeley County, S.C., are building a new three-leg directional interchange along I-26 that will provide direct access to the South Carolina Volvo cars manufacturing facility. The $44 million interchange is located along I-26 at mile marker 189, roughly 2 mi. east of SC 27/Ridgeville Road and approximately 5 mi. west of Jedburg Road. It will include both at-grade and flyover ramps. “The Volvo facility is expected to accommodate more than 4,000 employees by 2040,” said Jae Mattox, South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) program manager. “In addition to the Volvo factory itself, extensive supporting manufacturing development is expected for related suppliers or manufacturers, which could generate as much as 10,000 additional employees. As a United Infrastructure Debuts result, the new interchange is required to accommodate the projected traffic Link-Belt Cranes…18 demands.” Mattox said the Volvo interchange will have a dramatic impact on drivers in the area. “Based on the amount of industrial space that is available, the site could generate more than 16,000 trips during the ingress and egress peak. The new interchange will effectively manage the additional traffic demand in a safe and efficient manner.” The interchange project itself was initiated in 2015. Mattox calls the effort extremely satisfying. “It is very rewarding to work on a project that will have such a positive economic impact on South Carolina,” Mattox said. “The project was developed on a Sennebogen to Feed ‘Clean very rigorous schedule, which required extensive teamwork and collaboration Energy’ Projects…47 between various public and private stakeholders.” Daniel Burton, SCDOT resident construction engineer, said, “The I-26 Volvo Table of Contents ................4 Interchange will provide an alternate access to Exit 194, which should aid in alleAttachment & Parts Section viating congestion in the area.” Maintaining erosion control measures to reduce impacts to wetland locations CEG CORRESPONDENT

Officials Break Ground on $872M Natural Gas Facility WESTLAKE, La. (AP) Government officials and executives of the Entergy utility corporation gathered in southwest Louisiana to break ground for an $872 million natural gasfired generating station. The governor’s office said the Entergy Louisiana project will employ about 700 peo-
ple in Calcasieu Parish at the peak of construction. It is expected to create 31 permanent jobs. Entergy said in a news release that the Lake Charles Power Station will lower customer energy costs between $1.3 billion and $2 billion over the plant’s anticipated 30-year life.
The company also says the facility, called a “combined cycle’’ unit, will cut carbon dioxide emissions by 40 percent, compared to Entergy’s older gas-fired plants. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Iron Horse Contractors Grows Rapidly in Raleigh, N.C. Despite only having a few years under its belt, Iron Horse Contractors, based in Raleigh, N.C., has rapidly grown into one of the most recognized construction companies in the greater Raleigh Durham area. John Santoro, owner of Iron Horse Contractors, has been in the business a bit longer. “My father was a farmer in upstate New York. He had tractors, backhoes and bull dozers, so I’ve been around heavy equipment pretty much ever since I can remember,” said Santoro. “I started working for my father when I was in third grade. My summers were spent on the farm. At first, I started out driving a farm tractor, hauling stuff from the buildings down to the fields and from the fields back to the buildings. Then, I began using his bulldozer to clear the land, and I dug ditches with a backhoe.” Later, in high school, a visit to Raleigh would determine where he would eventually put down roots and start his business. “As a senior in high school, I came down and visited, and I really loved the area,” he said. “I went back up and went to school for a couple of months and told my parents that I was going to move down to Raleigh. I had to wait tables at Applebee’s and a couple other restaurants to get myself finished with school.” After finishing high school, Santoro started building decks, often in 90-plus degree weather. “I remember working in the heat and watching this guy in a dozer go back and forth grading,” Santoro said. “I thought to myself, ‘those hydraulic muscles don’t get tired no matter how hot it is. He doesn’t look like he is in there sweating very bad. He’s got his AC on.’ I said, ‘I am done with building decks.’” Shortly after, Santoro applied for a position at Brinley’s Grading in Raleigh and went to work for the company in August of 1998. He worked for the company for a few years and eventually moved on to CC Mangum Contractors, now known as Fred Smith Company, installing utilities. Within a few days, he was appointed the utility foreman for his crew. He worked for them for a couple years then worked for Blue
Ridge Site Development with whom he worked for several years. His time working with other contractors in Raleigh, Santoro said, honed his skills — from estimating to project managing, to the day-to-day business. He worked for seven different contracting firms during this time. He said working under the direction of John Gallo of Sun Coast Contracting who is now working with Reifenburg, and Ty Johnson of Fred Smith, whom he calls “masters of the industry.” Santoro spent most of his career working at Blue Ridge Site Development under the direct supervision of Ron Biggers the owner. Working for Biggers provided him with the experience he needed to start his own business — Iron Horse Contractors. “I wanted to dabble in the land development side,” he said. I tried it but didn’t care for that side of the industry. I wanted to be the contractor moving the dirt. There is nothing I enjoy more than getting a set of plans and going and building a project. I like being the one doing the work instead of being the one telling them to get the work done.” “I always said I wanted to start a company and do my own thing by the time I was forty. I was always in a foreman position or a superintendent. I have worked for everybody else and it has always ended in me going somewhere else or me going back. It was just the same result every time. So, I figured the only way to change that result was to just jump in with both feet. “I sold my house and started Iron Horse with the $100,000 profit from the sale.” Santoro brought in a business partner not long after —Jim Lindsley, a friend from upstate New York where Santoro is from. Lindsley owns one of the largest roofing companies in that area.

The beams are some of the longest ever erected in the state of South Carolina.
United Infrastructure Debuts Link-Belt Cranes on S.C. Span The contract for SC Route 9 Bridge over the Catawba River in Lancaster, S.C., requires the placement of 170 ft. bulb-tee beams weighing 200,000 lbs. The beams are some of the longest ever erected in the state of South Carolina. In order to place the beams, United Infrastructure of Great Falls, S.C., purchased a brand new 250-ton 298 Series 2 lattice crawler crane, as well as a 298 HSL. The new westbound bridge is constructed on an aggressive 13-month schedule in the same location as the previous westbound bridge; both directions of traffic are being carried on the adjacent eastbound bridge. Only half of the 500 ft. (152.4 m) wide river could be blocked off at one time during construction with barge platforms. The two Link-Belt’s efficient footprint allowed for
greater river width, and also eased the logistics of barge placement. Each crane used identical rigging consisting of 40 ft. long, doubled over nylon Kevlar-reinforced slings rated at 200,000 lbs. each. With 100 ft. of boom in one crane and 120 ft. on the other, there was plenty of headroom to pick the beams off the existing bridge and place them on the new pier caps, or swing them 180 degrees directly behind the crane to the storage barge for later placement. The tandem lifts required operators Jeremy Talley and Brian Craig to synchronize their moves while lifting, swinging, booming and lowering. They encountered no problems operating the large capacity Link-Belt 298 rigs, having done similar lifts with United’s 218HSL lattice crawler cranes

with smaller beams for the spans over the low-lying flood plains on each side of the river. As equipment manager, Keith Ernandez confirmed, “We have been working with our dealer, Pinnacle Cranes, for a very long time. It’s a relationship that makes us feel that we are being taken care of in all aspects with quick response times. They stand behind the equipment they represent. Right now and over the years Link-Belt has been a very good product, so there is no reason to change.” For more information, visit www.linkbelt.com.

Caterpillar Inc. Officially Lists Deerfield $600M in Louisiana Address as Headquarters in SEC Filing Interstate Projects Move Toward Reality DEERFIELD, Ill. (AP) — Caterpillar Inc. for the first time has officially listed its address with the Securities and Exchange Commission as being in the Chicago suburb of Deerfield instead of Peoria. The company last year announced it would move top executives and its headquarters out of Peoria. The (Peoria) Journal Star reported Jan. 9 that a Caterpillar filing with the SEC at the end of the first week of January for the first time listed the company’s address for principal executive offices in Deerfield. The document later notes the address has been changed since the last report. The filing reported the retirement of a member of the company’s board of directors. Caterpillar expects a workforce of 300 in Deerfield once the new headquarters becomes fully operational.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Louisiana intends to use a federal transportation borrowing tool to construct $600 million in interstate projects that have been sought for decades to relieve traffic headaches, Gov. John Bel Edwards announced Jan. 12. The biggest-ticket project is a $350 million widening of Interstate 10 from the Mississippi River Bridge to Interstate 12 in Baton Rouge, a daily chokepoint also considered one of Louisiana’s most dangerous stretches of roadway. Also slated for financing are a new access from Interstate 20 into Barksdale Air Force in Bossier City and another I-10 interchange in Kenner to serve a new terminal at the New Orleans airport that is under construction. “These projects impact three large areas of our state and are of the utmost importance for economic development and for convenience to the traveling public. The longer we wait, the more they cost and the more we lose,” Edwards said, announcing the roadwork plans at an event flanked by local elected officials. The plan requires legislative and federal approvals before the money can be used. The Edwards administration intends to use federal construction bonds known as GARVEE bonds, and repay the debt over 12 years with federal highway dollars the state gets annually, locking up some transportation dollars for future administrations. Local governments also are putting up some money to help pay off the debt. Shawn Wilson, state transportation secretary, said 25 other states have used similar financing mechanisms to do roadwork. He expects approvals and environmental clearances to be complete by the end of the year, paving the way for construction to start after that. The projects, Wilson said, will take years to complete because the state will have to maintain the flow of traffic on the interstates. Despite the excitement over movement on the interstate projects, Wilson also noted the backlog of road and bridge work has reached $13.9 billion. “This is addressing the tip of the iceberg of our needs,” he said. The Edwards administration sought to raise Louisiana’s gasoline tax last year to chip away at the backlog, but the effort by Rep. Steve Carter, a Baton Rouge Republican, failed to win the two-thirds support needed in the state House. Critics of the tax hike said their constituents didn’t want to pay more. Motorists in Louisiana pay 38.4 cents in taxes per gallon of gasoline, including 20 cents in state taxes. The state rate hasn’t changed since 1990. Carter sought a 17-cent tax hike to raise $500 million yearly, with the tax rising periodically, tied to an inflationary index. Amid opposition, Carter then proposed a lower tax increase. But he still couldn’t overcome anti-tax sentiment. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

High-Tech Mercedes-Benz Stadium Is City of Acworth Popular With Fans After Early Woes Purchases Yanmar

ATLANTA (AP) — Mercedes-Benz Stadium recently was on perhaps its largest national stage — The Jan. 8 College Football Playoff title game — and fans say Atlanta’s new $1.5 billion facility is living up to the hype despite a series of construction setbacks that delayed its opening. The game at the glitzy stadium featured two teams that already have played there: rivals Georgia and Alabama.

The United drew a crowd of 71,874 for their regular-season finale on Oct. 22, more than any other single game in MLS history. The team set the previous record five weeks earlier with its first 70,000-plus turnout. During the playoffs, the team also set a MLS postseason-record with 67,221.

Developer Halts Plans After Likely Civil War Graves Found Developers halted plans Jan. 12 for a sprawling entertainment and residential complex in Tennessee after archaeologists discovered what they believe are graves on a site near a Civil War fort built by slaves. The decision gave preservationists a victory in the latest clash between historic conservation and growth in Nashville, a booming city with a complicated racial past. Advocates of Fort Negley believe the findings give them long-sought validation that black laborers remain buried on
the development site at the foot of the fort. They also have secured a commitment to use the land to honor the men and women who built one of the most significant Civil War sites for African-Americans, and one that has been allowed to fall into disrepair several times throughout its history. Mayor Megan Barry, who had supported the development idea, said there won’t be any demolition or construction at the site until proper plans arise and are approved. “The likelihood of graves means that we should reassess plans for this site so as to better honor and preserve the history of the men and women who died in the construction of a fort that helped save the Union,” Barry said in a statement. Cloud Hill Partnership said the archaeological findings in part show their plan isn’t viable anymore. They wanted to build out the 21 acres (8 hectares) with 300 residential units, greenways, creative space and retail offerings. They also offered to build some affordable housing in a red-hot market, and promised to preserve the fort and its picturesque views. The site currently features dilapidated Greer Stadium, a minor league baseball park from 1978 until 2014, where the fort’s black laborers toiled, lived and died a century and a half ago, and where 50 to 800 workers are thought to be buried. After Confederate forces surrendered to Advocates of Fort Negley (seen here) believe the findings give Union soldiers in Nashville in 1862, the Union them long-sought validation that black laborers remain buried on took more than 2,700 runaway slaves and freed black people from their homes and churches and the development site at the foot of the fort.
forced them to work on the fort, where they lived in “contraband camps.” Few were paid as promised and many of them died. “We sincerely hope that Greer will become a place that serves the many diverse needs and interests of the surrounding neighbors and residents, and in which people from every neighborhood in Nashville will be welcome and safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year,” Bert Mathews, principal of the Cloud Hill Partnership, said in a statement. Mathews teamed with famed music producer T Bone Burnett on the project. The archaeological findings show that graves are likely still there, despite decades of construction, including some possible burial spots below the ballpark’s parking lot. The study recommends protecting and reintegrating a portion of the land into Fort Negley Park. The fort deteriorated over the years. The Works Progress Administration rebuilt it in 1936 and it reopened in 1938, but the fort fell into disrepair again. The Ku Klux Klan rallied there in the Jim Crow years, and segregated softball fields were later built nearby, said author Robert Hicks. Greer Stadium was built in the late 1970s. Historical groups, the NAACP and park-space advocates feel this is their chance to see the city land finally be reconnected the fort as park space. “It’s now a call of action for us to really be sure that our community, our visitors, the world, understand the importance of the site,” said Hicks, who also helped preserve a Civil War battlefield in nearby Franklin, Tenn.

collector for all the storm runoff from the jobsite. Later, the company won larger bids, including one for the Riverstone sub-division project. “It was seated on 100 acres, and it was a right-of-way job,” Santoro said. “We only did the streets and the storm drain because it was a well and septic job. It was a job just under one million contracted, but by the time all the change orders and field adjustments, it ended up coming just over a million dollars for our very first project. It was pretty sweet to start out the gate with a job that had 70,000 cubic yards of dirt on it.” Santoro rented Bell trucks and Hyundai excavators for the job from May Heavy Equipment. “Getting started in this industry is hard. It is capital intensive,” he said. “The $100,000 I started with was used to market the business, as well as acquire the office space and get things going. $100,000 in this industry is not very much by any means. It wasn’t like I had $100,000 to put on equipment. I had to have some of that for payroll to be able to get our guys going. We were building up. Jim had some equipment that was bought and paid for which he sent down to help
along with Santoro’s cash from the house sale. “May Heavy Equipment stepped up even when I told them that I wouldn’t be able to pay them right away. I told them, ‘look, it is not going to be 30 days by the time I can pay you; I need that money for payroll. It is going to be 60 to 90 days or maybe even longer before we can pay you to get this
thing going.’ They stood right there with us, hand-in-hand. Those guys were amazing.” So far, the company has purchased five 30-Ton Bell Trucks, two 330 Hyundai excavators, a 740 Hyundai loader along with two trench rollers from May Heavy Equipment. Santoro said that an in-house mechanic does some of the service, but they also call on May Heavy Equipment for some of their

service needs. “If it’s anything that is electronic and digital, May comes out and handles that,” he said. “They also service equipment that is rented or leased. May offers great service; they have done a great job for us.” In total, the company has a fleet of more than 40 pieces of machinery, which is used for what Santoro calls a “turn-key” site development services. The company performs grading, erosion control and utilities but sub contracts out other work. Iron Horse Contractors has an unlimited license for Highway and Public Utilities! As their company continues to grow, Santoro points to one simple rule to success. “You need to say what you are going to do, and do it. It’s as simple as that. Don’t tell a developer that you can have a job done in three months when you know it is going to take six months.” For more information about Iron Horse Contractors, visit www.ironhorsecontractors.com.

Summer 2019…
Real Estate Project to Set New Standards in Student Living Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. (HFF) announced financing for the development of Epoch Clemson, a 310-unit/994bed student housing community serving Clemson University in Clemson, S.C. The HFF team worked on behalf of the vertically integrated specialty housing company Valeo Groupe US (“Valeo”) and equity partner, Harrison Street Real Estate Capital LLC (“Harrison Street”), to place the floating-rate construction loan with Citizens Bank. Due for completion in summer 2019, Epoch Clemson will be situated along the shoreline of Lake Hartwell just off U.S. Highway 123/Clemson Boulevard near the Clemson University campus. The property will consist of 15 buildings with a variety of cottage, townhome, brownstone and apartment units featuring modern architecture and superior finishes. With more than 3,600 ft. of Lake Hartwell frontage, the community will incorporate a mix of waterfront amenities, including a private beach, boat docks, lakeside pedestrian paths and select units offering exceptional lake views. In addition, the 58-acre site provides for a Village Green / Great Lawn common area, resort-style pool and clubhouse, volleyball court, 24-hour fitness center, computer center and landscaped courtyards. The HFF debt placement team representing Valeo and Harrison Street included senior managing director Ed Coco, associate Matt Casey and analyst Libby Malloy. “Combining the experience and vision of the Valeo team
with Epoch’s one-of-a-kind resident experience will set a new standard for student living at Clemson’s campus,” Coco said. “Valeo’s Ted W. Rollins and his team did an amazing job securing the site and necessary approvals to develop this project, which will add tremendous value to the Clemson community.” About Valeo Groupe US Valeo Groupe US is a subsidiary of Valeo Partners, which manages and holds interests, both international and domestic, in senior and student niche housing markets through its ownership in Valeo Groupe US, based in Charlotte, N.C., Valeo Groupe UK, based in Jersey, Channel Islands, Valeo Management Limited, based in London, UK, and Valeo Groupe Nordics, based in Stockholm, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark.

Repairs to Flooded Homes Set Open in 2022… for Completion by Year End Virginia Locks in Deal to Expand I-95 Toll Lanes 10 More Miles
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) Louisiana is expected to award all of its flood-rebuilding grants to homeowners by August, two years after the historic flooding. Most of the repair and reconstruction work should be completed by the end of the year. The Advocate reported that was the assessment Pat Forbes, head of the state disaster recovery office, gave to the Restore Louisiana Task Force. The housing program has three tiers: a stateselected contractor, homeowner-selected contractor or reimbursement for completed work. Forbes said the first option should be done by the end of the year. Homeowners who select their own contractors may face a longer timeline. Louisiana has distributed 4,800 awards so

In one of his final acts as governor before his term would end Jan. 13, Virginia’s Terry McAuliffe announced Jan. 10 that the state accepted a proposal from toll-road company Transurban to extend the Interstate 95 Express Lanes southward another 10 mi. to Fredericksburg by 2022. “This deal will not require any upfront taxpayer investment for construction, and will provide $277 million by the time the express lanes are open that will be invested in the corridor to advance critical transportation projects,” McAuliffe said. The Washington Post reported that Transurban “will give the state $277 million upfront to cover costs of a bridge over the Rappahannock River” in the Fredericksburg area along with other improvements along the corridor, according to Virginia transportation officials. Construction is expected to begin in the
spring of 2019, and the new two-lane reversible toll lanes are slated to open in autumn 2022, the announcement said. Virginia Transportation Secretary Aubrey Layne said in an area with heavy traffic congestion “expanding the Express Lanes 10 miles south will bring muchneeded relief from the existing bottlenecks along the I-95 corridor, improve reliability for commuters and freight, enhance road safety and set up the regional economy for future growth.” Upon project completion, the region will feature 50 mi. of continuous express toll lanes running on I-395 and I-95 from Fredericksburg to Virginia's border with Washington, D.C.

Adaptive Re-Use Project RPC Inc. Appoints President to Serve Demand in Nashville of SITECH North, Central Fla.
Greg Hasty has been named president of SITECH North and Central Florida LLC, the authorized dealer of Trimble construction technology located in Riverview, Fla.

Holliday Fenoglio Fowler L.P. (HFF) announced a $26.715 million construction loan for the adaptive re-use of the former May Hosiery textile mill in Nashville, Tenn. The HFF team worked on behalf of the borrower, Chicago-based AJ Capital Partners, to secure the two-year, floating-rate loan through LoanCore Capital. Loan proceeds will be used for the renovation and the remaining lease-up of the property. Originally built in 1909, the 120,000-sq. ft. facility was home to May Hosiery, which made socks for most of the twentieth century. The property was mostly vacant for the last three decades and is now being redeveloped into a vibrant mixed-use property featuring 80,000 sq. ft. of creative office space and 40,000 sq. ft. of retail and restaurant space. The project also includes a private rooftop terrace and central outdoor spaces. At the time of closing, May Hosiery was 47 percent pre-leased to Tuck-Hinton Architects, Southcomm Media, Dream Technologies, Parson’s Chicken and Fish
and Blockhouse Barbers. The development is located at 425-431 Chestnut St. and 510 Houston St. in the dynamic Wedgewood Houston neighborhood, which has become one of Nashville’s fastest growing mixed-use communities. The HFF debt placement team representing the borrower included managing director Danny Kaufman and director Christopher Knight. “It was an absolute pleasure to work with the team at AJ Capital and LoanCore on this financing,” said Kaufman. “AJ consistently creates successful and totally authentic real estate projects that capture the spirit of their locations. It is very special to be part of their creative process.” “The May Hosiery project is well conceived and will satisfy growing demand for innovative office and dynamic retail / entertainment space in Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston neighborhood,” said Knight.

Contractors Optimistic About Economy, Tax, Regulatory Cuts Seventy-five percent of construction firms plan to expand their payrolls in 2018 as contractors are optimistic that economic conditions will remain strong as tax rates and regulatory burdens fall, according to survey results released Jan. 3 by the Associated General Contractors of America and Sage Construction and Real Estate. Despite the general optimism outlined in Expecting Growth to Continue: The 2018 Construction Industry Hiring and Business Outlook, many firms report they remain worried about workforce shortages and infrastructure funding. “Construction firms appear to be very optimistic about 2018 as they expect demand for all types of construction services to continue to expand,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “This optimism is likely based on current economic conditions, an increasingly business-friendly regulatory environment and expectations the Trump administration will boost infrastructure investments.” Respondents are very optimistic about demand for all types of construction services as measured by the net positive reading — the percentage of respondents who expect a market segment to expand vs. the percentage who expect a market segment to contract. The net positive reading for all types of construction is 44 percent, the highest yet recorded in the association’s Outlook survey series. Broken down by market segment, contractors nationwide are most optimistic about the private office market segment, with a 22 percent net positive reading. This is followed by the other transportation and retail, warehouse and lodging segments, both of which had a 21 percent net positive reading. Water and sewer construction had a net positive reading of 20 percent; K-12 construction had a net positive reading of 18 percent and highway and hospitality construction both had a 17 percent net positive reading. Respondents were only slightly less optimistic about growing demand in other segments. There is a 16 percent net positive for both multifamily residential and public building segments, followed by a 13 percent net positive reading for power construction, an 11 percent net positive for higher education construction and an 8 percent net positive for federal construction. Association officials noted that 75 percent of firms say they will increase their headcount in 2018, up slightly from 73 percent last year. Most of the hiring will only expand headcounts by a slight percentage per firm, however. Half of firms report their expansion plans will only increase the size of their firm by 10 percent or less. Meanwhile, only five percent of firms report plans to expand
“Increased competition for projects is driving contractors to advance their use of not only building information modeling, but cloud technologies,” said Jon Witty, vice president and general manager of Sage Construction and Real Estate, North America. “This is particularly evident in the use of cloud-based mobile solutions on the job sites, where contractors are using mobile software for daily field reports, field access to customer and job information, employee Stephen E. Sandherr time tracking and approval and the sharing of drawings, photos and documents.” Associated General Contractors of America Association officials noted that contractors’ overall optimism for 2018 is likely based on two key assumptions: that tax cuts will lead to stronger demand and that the their headcount by more than 25 percent growth in federal regulations as one of their Trump administration will finally deliver on above their current size.

Battle Ax Mulcher Designed for 7- to 15-Ton Excavators Loftness has introduced the Battle Ax mulching attachment for 7- to 15ton (6.3 to 13.6 t) excavators to its VMLogix line of products. Featuring a new rotor, two-stage cutting chamber and direct-drive variable displacement piston motor, the heavy-duty Battle Ax is designed for highly efficient vegetation management, including right-of-way maintenance, land clearing, forestry applications and more. The Battle Ax is available with 41, 51- and 61-in. (104, 129 and 155 cm) cutting widths. Its 17-in. (43 cm) diameter rotor features built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chain saws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time. This design is more ideal for managing the amount of material being fed into the attachment than ring-style rotors, which many operators find to be over-
ly limiting, according to the manufacturer. The variable displacement piston motor on the Battle Ax is designed to accommodate the output of various excavators. The motor is directly mounted to the rotor with an anti-vibration coupler to eliminate the hassle of drive belts and reduce overall maintenance concerns of the mulching attachment. Two tooth options are available: ultra-sharp Quadco reversible knives and highly durable carbide teeth. Due to a two-stage cutting chamber, which allows material to be cut twice by the rotor, both styles of teeth are capable of producing some of the smallest particle sizes in the industry. The primary shear bar is adjustable for customizing particle size. Other standard features include a spade hook, adjustable skid shoes that
Fecon’s Latest Bull Hog Mulcher Features Custom Configuration
The Battle Ax is available with 41-, 51- and 61-in. (104, 129 and 155 cm) cutting widths. Its 17-in. (43 cm) diameter rotor features built-in depth gauges, which function similarly to raker teeth on chain saws to prevent the attachment from engaging too much material at one time.
Fecon’s newly-designed Bull Hog mulching attachment for CTLs and skid steers includes a severe duty body, bolt on skid shoes, stronger push bar and improved mulching chamber. Bull Hog also made the top of the body smooth to avoid the debris and water build up that occurred in the “trough.” This newly-designed CTL Bull Hog is still offered with Fecon’s smooth drum FGT rotor, paddle style HDT rotor and its DCR, depth control rotor so customers can still configure their Bull Hog for the job at hand. The manufacturer also made the hose sling standard, created improved sealing of the body and made trap door and pressure gauge options easier to add on.

allow cutting up to 1.5 in. (3.8 cm) below grade, anti-wrap bearings, premium strength steel housing and steel deflector chains. Custom mounts are available for all makes of excavators. A self-contained hydraulic thumb also is optional for customers who do not wish to use the factory excavator thumb. Loftness manufactures the VMLogix line of vegetation management equipment, which includes hydraulic oil coolers, the Kwik-Trim compact mechanical tree trimmer, and high-performance mulching heads for a variety of equipment, ranging from skid steer loaders to 400-horsepower prime movers.

NTEA: The Role of GVWR, GCWR in Specifying Work Trucks By Bob Raybuck DIRECTOR OF TECHNICAL SERVICES, NTEA
Often, GVWR and gross vehicle weight (GVW) are thought to be the same, but they are not. A truck’s GVWR is the maximum weight rating established by the chassis manufacturer. GVW is the total weight of the truck and payload at a point in time. There’s a common misconception that a truck’s GVWR is determined by adding gross axle weight ratings (GAWRs) together for all axles. Although this was a common way of calculating GVWR many years ago, it’s no longer an accurate method. The chassis manufacturer task of establishing a vehicle GVWR is much more difficult today due to advancement of safety system standards and how vehicles meet these requirements. This is why many trucks have a GVWR much lower than the combined axle ratings. It is not uncommon for a truck with a GVWR of 19,500 lbs. to have a front axle rated at 7,500 lbs. and a rear axle
rated at 14,700 lbs. Safety standards that apply to braking, vehicle stability and chassis manufacturer internal standards for durability, dynamic stability and handling can restrict GVWR even though the sum of the axle ratings exceeds 22,000 pounds. In this instance, the OEM set the GVWR at 19,500 lbs. based on test results and vehicle dynamic performance to ensure a safe, reliable truck. A specific vehicle’s GCWR is based on parameters established by chassis manufacturers. The manufacturer makes an assessment in accordance with SAE International test protocols, determining maximum GCWR. Additionally, the OEM runs stringent tests based on internal requirements, which may include testing total GCWR braking capability using only the towing vehicle chassis braking system. GCWR is the total weight of the truck pulling the trailer and the trailer itself. The truck chassis dictates proper GCWR for safe operation of the combination truck and trailer. When end users and fleets are looking to either purchase or specify the proper chassis for their needs, different driver
qualifications and regulations are part of the process. A key driver qualification is the commercial driver’s license rule, better known as CDL. Many fleets prefer to specify their chassis in a way that allows drivers without a CDL license to operate their vehicles. Federal CDL requirements help clarify what’s considered a non-CDL truck and how GVWR comes into play. Each individual state may have more stringent CDL licensing requirements. However, every state must follow federal requirements as a baseline. One element in federal CDL operator requirements is a vehicle’s GVWR. The federal requirement specifies that, when a vehicle has a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less, the operator does not need a CDL license. However, this does not mean the truck GVW can be loaded above the GVWR of 26,000 lbs. and operated by a non-CDL driver. Federal requirements state the GVW must, in addition, be 26,000 lbs. or less. CDL requirements become more confusing when the vehicle is towing a trailer. see NTEA page 40

There are three key aspects to consider when assessing CDL operator requirements for commercial work trucks involved in towing a trailer: truck GVWR, trailer GVWR and GCWR of the truck-trailer combination. Trailer GVWR is most critical to determining when a CDL is required. When a trailer has a GVWR of 10,001 lbs. or more and the combined GCWR of the truck and trailer is 26,001 lbs. or more, a CDL is required by the operator. For example, if a trailer has a GVWR of 11,500 lbs. and is towed by a truck with a GVWR of 15,000 lbs., resulting in a GCWR of 26,500 lbs., then the operator must have a CDL. In contrast, when the trailer in the truck-trailer combination has a GVWR of 10,000 lbs. or less, the CDL requirements allow for a greater GCWR for both the truck and trailer without requiring a CDL license. For example, a truck with a GVWR of 26,000 lbs. or less can tow a trailer with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs. or less and not require the operator to have a CDL under federal requirements. However, CDL requirements mandate that the truck and trailer GVW not exceed 26,000 lbs. and 10,000 lbs., respectively. In short, the truck and trailer cannot be overloaded. When determining the truck and trailer combination(s) that end customers or fleets want, it’s important to understand which combination(s) will require a CDL or know how to specify and load trucks and trailers properly to remain within CDL weight limitations. There’s a common perception that a truck’s original GVWR can be changed to avoid CDL requirements. Even though there are provisions in the vehicle certification rules that allow the company finishing the new incomplete vehicle (final-stage manufacturer) to determine the vehicle’s final GVWR, the final-stage manufacturer is typically reluctant to make changes to the original GVWR without guidance from the incomplete vehicle manufacturer. Many incomplete medium-duty vehicle manufacturers include GVWR information as part of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) coding in the vehicle description section (4–8) and, therefore, will not change an incomplete vehicle’s GVWR after it is manufactured as the VIN would need to be updated. Many incomplete vehicle OEMs will provide guidance about changing GVWR for a VIN-specific new incomplete chassis through their dealer network; however, they make the final-stage manufacturer the responsible party. Many times, altering GVWR requires changing key components (such as tires, suspensions or even axles). If a company claims it can change GVWR, consider asking about the organization’s approach to testing, engineering analysis and certification documentation to ensure ongoing compliance. As a company or fleet, you’re placing your employees in these vehicles. It is very important to company wellbeing and employee safety to make sure the trucks you purchase are designed for their intended purposes and GVWR and GCWR are specified properly for safe, efficient operation.

Sennebogen 818 M to Feed ‘Clean Energy’ Projects for ACGE The year-old AC Global Energy (ACGE) plant near Knoxville, Tenn., is a new production facility designed to convert biomass into drop-in the tank fuel. As one of the first commercial application of new “clean energy” technology, the facility was developed as a turnkey operation for ACGE to process locally harvested pulpwood into energy products. At the front end of the process is a log-loading station that receives truckloads of wood to be fed into a primary chipper. In the center of the loading station is a purpose-built Sennebogen 818 M rubber-tired log-loader, which unloads and stacks the wood, then feeds it to a Laimet helical chipper. The wood chips go through secondary processing before entering a patented CHyP (cellulose to hydrogen process) reactor for conversion into a hydrogen-rich synthetic gas. “Clean Energy” for Diesel and Electrical Power ACGE is a Singapore-based development company specializing in “clean energy” projects. According to John Borden, ACGE’s business development manager in North America, the Knoxville plant is just the first of multiple sites that the company foresees for other nearby centers in the future. “The system is highly scalable, but it’s also economical for smaller production sites, too,” Borden said. “Any location with a good supply of biomass nearby can put this technology to work economically.” As the Knoxville operation ramps up in 2018, Borden expects to see it processing as much as 500 tons of wood per day and output up to 7 million gal. of drop-in the tank diesel annually. Secondary streams produce marketable co-products including wood vinegar and premium bio-char.
Crews load the infeed to the process with a clear view of the deck.
Crews stock pile the raw material quickly with the 818.
Versatile Loading for Start-Up Project The Sennebogen 818 M provides ACGE with a versatile, purpose-built machine that can handle multiple duties as the operation works up to full capacity. “We considered installing a more traditional stationary loader near the feed deck,” said Borden. “But we decided that a rubber-tired log loader would give us more flexibility. We equipped it with a Timber Grab SGH rotary log grapple to load the incoming wood. We also have an orange peel attachment that the 818 M can use to transfer chips. We receive some of our biomass as chips, instead of logs, so the 818 M is always ready to handle those loads as well as feeding chips into the next stage of the process. It’s even strong enough to pull a decent size log trailer. “Always the Leader” Borden is very familiar with the end-to-end process, having worked the pilot team for four years. “For our loading applications, Sennebogen was always the leader, in my mind. We did our due diligence on other machines, but I saw Sennebogen’s aftersales capabilities in Stanley, N.C., and that was a key factor for us. The head office, parts warehouse and training center are very impressive. “Our operators like the 818 very much, too. It handles very well, and the elevating cab gives them a very direct look into the trucks they’re unloading. The first few trucks were taking longer to unload but, with some experience now, we’re down to about 15 minutes per truck.
“I will definitely be looking to Sennebogen again when we’re ready to open our next plant. We’re very happy with the service from their distributor here, Power Equipment. Once the CHyP process and the rest of this operation is fully verified, we will be set to repeat the program in new locations.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Wirtgen Offers 10 Different Models for Cold Asphalt Recycling With 10 different models of plants and machines available, Wirtgen has the right equipment for productive and profitable asphalt and concrete construction materials recycling, ranging from wheeled and tracked cold recyclers and the new mobile cold recycling mixing plant KMA 220i, to ancillary equipment such as the new laboratory compactor WLV 1. Roads that are subject to heavy and continual loads frequently show signs of damage in the subgrade. To fix, the entire structure of the road must be reconstructed. Other roads exhibit surface damage that can be renewed without delving into the subgrade. Either way, in the cold recycling process, 100 percent of the reclaimed material can be reused and cost-effectively treated, making cold recycling both an economical and an environmentally friendly option. Cold Recycling In-Place (CIR) Wheeled cold recyclers of the WR series Wirtgen offers three wheeled recyclers: the WR 200i, WR 200 XLi, WR 240i and WR 250 models. Equipped with a powerful milling and mixing rotor as well as cutting-edge injection systems, they mill and granulate asphalt pavements, inject binding agents and water in precisely metered quantities, and mix it all in a single in-place operation. Tracked cold recyclers and a new process Wirtgen also offers two tracked machines: the 2200 CR and 3800 CR cold recyclers with working widths of 7 ft. 3 in. and 12 ft. 6 in. (2.2 m and 3.8 m) respectively. Like the models of the WR series, they process asphalt roads on the spot. Both of them, however, also can be fitted with an integrated, infinitely adjustable Vögele paving screed with tamper and spreader auger in order to precompact the freshly recycled asphalt true to line and level, bypassing the need to use a paver to distribute recycled material. In addition to recycling with the conventional up-cut method, the two models also can perform what is known as down-cut milling, a recent development by Wirtgen in its drive to optimize the cold recycling process. In this case, the recycled material is rear-loaded directly onto a paver, which immediately paves and compacts it. Rollers subsequently carry out final compaction. The down-cut process allows the particle size to be precisely controlled during material processing, especially when milling very old and brittle asphalt roads. Wirtgen Ancillary Equipment Enhances Quality in Construction Projects An extensive analysis of the entire road pavement — as well as comprehensive mix design testing — are essential if the quality of the paving is to be determined in advance. Wirtgen offers a range of supporting equipment, developed specifically for this purpose, allowing 1:1 simulation of the cold recycling process in the road construction laboratory. Laboratory compactor WLV 1 The Wirtgen laboratory compactor WLV 1 is designed for the laboratory production of cold recycling mix test specimens. Specially developed for cold recycling applications, the compaction process allows the production of large test specimens with a diameter of 6 by 12 in. (15 by 30 cm) for the purposes of a triaxial test. Furthermore, test specimens with a diameter of 6 by 3.74 in. (15 by 9.5 cm) can be produced. These are used to measure the indirect tensile
The entire damaged road surface and base course is reused. Once the Wirtgen WR 240/WR 240i has processed the recycled material in-place, it is leveled by a motorgrader and compacted with a roller. A paver subsequently lays down the new asphalt course.
strength of the cold recycling mixture. In combination with a test system specific to the WLV 1, information is obtained from the specimens that can then be used to determine the required material properties for dimensioning the road pavement. Laboratory foamed bitumen plant WLB 10 S Foamed asphalt is increasingly being used as a binding agent in economical cold recycling. Preliminary testing with the WLB 10 S mobile laboratory unit allows the quality of the foamed bitumen to be defined precisely in the lab even before construction work begins. The system is very easy to use, allowing parameters such as water quantity, pressure and temperature to be varied quickly. Twin-shaft compulsory mixer WLM 30
The Wirtgen WLV 1 was specially developed for the compaction of cold recycling mixes. The test specimens produced using the laboratory compactor are used to determine the ideal composition of the mix as well as important material properties.
The optimum mix composition can be defined in combination with the twin-shaft compulsory mixer WLM 30. In large batches of 66 lbs. (30 kg), this powerful mixer generates reliably homogeneous specimen mixtures with lime, cement, asphalt emulsion or foamed asphalt. When combined with the laboratory foamed bitumen plant WLB 10 S, the foamed asphalt or bitumen is added directly into the continuous mixing process. Cold Recycling In-Plant Wirtgen cold recycling mixing plant KMA 220i The mobile concept of the Wirtgen KMA 220i offers easy setup and efficient mix production close to the construction site. All of the reclaimed asphalt can be reused and processed. The mixing plant is environmentally friendly in every respect: The source materials for mix production do not need to be dried or heated, saving a great deal of energy and costs. Time-consuming trucking between the mix production site and the job site is reduced to a minimum. This has a huge positive impact on fuel costs while at the same time drastically cutting CO2 emissions. For more information, visit www.wirtgen.com. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)
The Wirtgen 3800 CR seamlessly processes 12 ft. 6 in. (3.8 m) wide lanes in one pass. Adding binding agents, the powerful cold recycler quickly and economically transforms damaged asphalt courses in-place into high-grade, precompacted base courses, all with minimum disruption to traffic.

So far, the tech giant has spent more than $1 billion at this location for the construction of three enormous facilities in addition to another “cold storage” building totaling 1.2 million sq. ft., Oregon Live reported.
Emily Buenzle CEG WEB EDITOR
Facebook announced Dec. 12 that it will build two additional data centers on its Prineville, Ore., campus. So far, the tech giant has spent more than $1 billion at this location for the construction of three enormous facilities in addition to another “cold storage” building totaling 1.2 million sq. ft., Oregon Live reported. According to the city of Prineville, Facebook recently signed an agreement for property tax exemptions for the new
buildings. The company has benefitted from similar agreements in the past, which have totaled savings of more than $70 million. Building the 970,000-sq.-ft. facilities will mean jobs for hundreds of construction workers. According to Prineville City Manager Steve Forrester, the city has put a lot of time into improving its infrastructure to help attract big industry. Now, with the presence of tech giants like Facebook and Apple, the work has been a success.

Volvo Interchange to Have Dramatic Impact on Drivers INTERCHANGE from page 1
has been a concern for crews. Another challenge involves working at night to eliminate the effects to the traveling public in constructing the project. The design-build team started on the design of the project in March 2017. Construction began by placing signage on Interstate 26 in July, with milling operations on Interstate 26 for lane shifts also taking place. Crews also placed the wetland delineation barrier during this time, and began clearing trees the following month. All work should be completed by 2019. Mid-summer 2018 is the scheduled opening of the I-26 WB Ramp 2 to Volvo Car Drive, with substantial project completion by the following January. In the meantime, motorists traveling near the construction zones are asked to be aware of equipment and crews working in the area, and are being encouraged to comply with traffic control signs, reductions in speed limits and message board information. Drivers are asked to be aware of the new and changing traffic patterns during the project. Right now, teams are busy performing clearing and grubbing operations. Cement stabilization activities for access, as well approach ramps, also is under way. Initial foundation activities for bridge construction for the bridges over I-26 is taking place, as well. All design activities associated with production of the final plan sets and associated permitting have been completed. Initial traffic phasing to construct permanent/temporary shoulders along I-26 also has been wrapped up, along with the majority of clearing and grubbing activities. Design and construction activities involving the bridge approaches have been an ongoing obstacle, due to the poor existing soils within the project vicinity. Crews also are responsible for installed traffic controls on I-26 eastbound to begin right shoulder widening. “These lane closure are needed to perform work for removing the rumble strips that were in the existing shoulder, to alert motorists that they are running off the roadway,” said Burton. “However, these rumble strips were removed in

order to shift traffic away from the median so the median widening work could then be completed. The right shoulder work was to increase the strength of the asphalt structure in order to carry the traffic associated with the average daily traffic for the area.” As for the installed traffic controls on the I-26 median to begin bridge work, said Burton, “These lane closure are needed to perform work for the asphalt median work. It involved completing a four-foot permanent widening of an
asphalt shoulder, along with the addition of a four-foot temporary shoulder to place temporary barrier wall on to protect the work being completed in the median for the two new overpass bridges that are being constructed.” Day-to-day erosion control operations eliminate and control the sediment within the construction site to ensure the sediment does not leave the project limits. Clearing and grubbing operations are performed in order to haul off trees and under growth, such as brush and small shrubs. Workers remove the organic soils, so that a structural base can then be installed to build the new road bed. This road bed is derived by calculation of structural numbers to carry a specific load or a specific volume of traffic. A number of key tasks remain, according to Burton. “The project is still in the early stages of construction,” said Burton. “The remaining items are building three bridges, and constructing all roadway approaches up to and leading from these three bridges onto Volvo Car Drive, and then constructing Volvo Car Drive to connect to the current Volvo Car Drive being built by Berkeley County. “Milestones currently are to have Ramp 2, from I-26 West to Volvo Car Drive, completed seven to nine months prior to substantial completion of the project.” Bridge work on the project began in October. “Currently, this work involves the construction of Ramp 4 Bridge over I-26. Ramp 4 over I-26 Bridge is approximately 270 feet long, and 44 feet wide,” said Burton. “It consists of three bents, including two exterior bents and one interior bent. “There will be five Bulb T concrete girders between bent 1 and bent 2 and five Bulb T concrete girders between bent 2 and bent 3. The total length for all 10 girders is approximately 1,231 feet of 72-inch pre-stressed concrete Bulb T girders. There will be approximately 111,000 pounds of reinforcement steel in this structure, and 484 cubic yards of concrete placed for the columns and deck.” So far, the only major weather concern was Hurricane see INTERCHANGE page 76

Suppliers: Budget Delay Interrupts FASTAct Funding Increases for 2018 Associations representing concrete suppliers and related businesses are pressing Congress to soon complete a fullyear budget bill for fiscal 2018, saying the delay prevents highway agencies from accessing a scheduled funding increase under the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act. Since the new fiscal year began Oct. 1 Congress has funded federal agencies with a series of short-term “continuing resolutions” that hold most spending to 2017 levels, including programs of the Highway Trust Fund. Under the FAST Act, highway programs are scheduled to get about a 2 percent raise for fiscal 2018, or about $1 billion more for state departments of transportation to use for federal-aid road improvements. But until lawmakers agree on a full-year budget deal and approve final appropriations, DOTs are left with just part of their 2018 funds at the 2017 levels. In a Dec. 19 letter, the North American Concrete Alliance – a coalition of 11 concrete and cement-related associations – told congressional leaders the group’s members “are gravely concerned that further delays in passing a full-year appropriations measure” will prevent programs for highway projects from tapping the higher authorized levels for 2018. “It is critically important for the members of NACA that the measure fulfills the commitments Congress made just two years ago” in passing the FAST Act, they added. The coalition said that the five-year FAST Act “provides modest increases in surface transportation investment that
must be delivered through the appropriations process. As such it is critical that any final FY 2018 transportation appropriation measure be enacted as soon as possible so that states can put these resources to work.” The letter writers added that “any needless delays of FAST Act’s surface transportation investment increases would once again create uncertainty for states about the timely delivery of federal highway and public transportation commitments.” As other transportation stakeholders have noted, the coalition said the FAST Act “was an important step forward to assuring states and the private sector the federal government is a reliable partner in our shared effort to improve the nation’s surface transportation network.” However, since its enactment Congress has repeatedly delayed the appropriations that measure authorized and paid for as lawmakers negotiated over budget levels across government agencies. Last year, for instance, Congress did not pass final appropriations for the budget year until May, so DOTs were not able to tap their 2017 funding increases until most of the fiscal year was over. The construction material suppliers added: “Timely enactment of a FY 2018 transportation appropriations bill that fully funds the FAST Act’s highway and transit authorizations will help ensure that progress continues.” (Source: AASHTO Journal) (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

We are committed and engaged with our partners to listen, understand and quickly provide inno-
vative solutions for electric utility customers,” said Clint Weber, general manager of Terex Utilities. “This comprehensive network is focused on our customers, and we realize every customer has unique needs. We carefully evaluated the electric utility contractor segment and are pleased to announce an expanded relationship with UOS that complements our existing comprehensive distributor and rental network.” In addition to its current rental fleet, UOS will now sell directly to much of the U.S. electric utility contractor market.

ARTBA Helps Secure Purple Line Project Victory in Federal Court The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) hailed a federal appeals court decision to overrule a lower court ruling blocking the Maryland Purple Line light-rail project, one of the nation’s most high profile transit public-private partnerships (P3). The association told the court that not allowing the Purple Line to proceed posed grave risks for future transportation projects and was an abuse of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The Trump administration’s anticipated infrastructure initiative is expected to include P3s as part of its proposed funding approach. The ruling provides a clear notice that NEPA was not intended to be used as a tool to endlessly delay critically needed transportation infrastructure projects. The 16-mi. Purple Line project between Bethesda and New Carrolton, Md., in Washington, D.C.’s northern suburbs, is one of the nation’s largest P3 transit projects. The project had been mired in litigation since 2014 by a small group of citizen activists opposed to construction of the project. In August 2016, a lower court judge halted construction, asserting the Federal Transit Administration had failed to consider declining ridership on the D.C. Metro system. Both the federal government and the state of Maryland appealed the decision contending there was no obligation under
NEPA to consider ridership on the entire regional transit system as part of the Purple Line approval process. In its brief to the court, the association said the lower court ruling was an abuse of the NEPA process and warned, if left standing, the ruling could have a chilling effect on future transportation infrastructure project approvals across the United States. “If plaintiffs or courts can upend the culmination of the onerous NEPA process for economic or policy reasons having nothing to do with the environment, the ensuing uncertainty and delay would discourage public and private investment needed to rebuild and improve the country’s transportation infrastructure,” ARTBA said. The federal appeal court agreed with ARTBA, noting the decision not to consider Metro ridership was “precisely the type of judgement implicating substantial agency expertise to which the court owes deference.” The court further agreed with ARTBA’s argument that NEPA had been misused by the project opponents, stating, “NEPA does not require agencies to needlessly repeat their environmental impact analyses every time such information comes to light.” For more information, visit www.artba.org.

Conti Enterprises Serves as General Contractor, JMT Leads Design Team INTERCHANGE from page 62
Irma, the most intense Atlantic hurricane to strike the United States since Katrina in 2005. The storm temporarily shut down the interchange project, but crews resumed construction once given clearance to return to the job site. Rain may continue to force delays, and the planning team has tried to take into account historical data of rainfall, and plans accordingly. “This is not always accurate, but it does assist in the schedule of work activities,” said Burton. Burton also said a total of 378,000 cu. yds. of borrow material will be transported to build the project. “Currently, no borrow has been brought in. About 150,000 cubic yards of top soil and unclassified excavation for drainage work will be performed. Approximately 10,000 cubic yards of top soil and unclassified excavation has been performed to date, for removing top soil and cutting in ditch drainage.” The most time-consuming part of
the work involves inspection and research associated in ensuring that the project is constructed to the contractual requirements. Main equipment that will be used to complete the work includes excavators, dozers, pavers, graders and rollers. Materials will include asphalt, borrow fill material, concrete, reinforcement steel, aggregate base material and concrete pipe. In a release issued by SCDOT, Secretary of Transportation Christy Hall said the interchange project demonstrates how transportation supports economic development in the state. “Volvo recognized South Carolina’s favorable business climate in selecting this location, which includes an existing interstate highway and proximity to the Port of Charleston. The construction of this interchange is an important step in providing an interconnected system for driving the state’s economic engine.” General contractor Conti Enterprises
Inc. was awarded the contract to construct the new interchange, with Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson (JMT) serving as the lead design firm. HDR, a company specializing in engineering, architecture, environmental and construction services, is also playing an active role in the project. Laura Fulton, project engineer of HDR, said, “ It is very humbling to know that this project will not only help the Berkeley County community to increase jobs in the area, but traffic flow will be improved at not only this new interchange, but at both Exit 194 and Exit 187, as well. This will allow the traveling public and local communities that use exit 194 and exit 187 to get to their destinations in a more timely fashion.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

The Netherlands Installs World’s First 3D-Printed Bridge Emily Buenzle CEG WEB EDITOR
The Benefits There’s no doubt that 3D printed structures are an amazing engineering feat on their own, but these distinct benefits make the process all the more interesting: 3D-printed concrete uses less concrete than more traditional methods. The printer conserves the material by only placing concrete where it needs to go, which, in turn, helps to reduce CO2 emissions. A 3D printer can manipulate concrete into any shape needed, making it a much more versatile option than molds. The process is faster, since it eliminates the need to build forms, and allows for reinforcement to be added as the concrete is being poured. According to researchers, in the future, this method will be close to three times faster than traditional concrete processes.
The world’s first 3D-printed bridge was recently installed in the Netherlands. The bridge, which measures 26 by 11 ft., was built by Eindhoven University of Technology, which researches 3D concrete printing methods, The University Network reported. Crews installed the bridge, which will support hundreds of travelling bicyclists every day, in the town of Gemert as part of the Noord-Om project, an extensive road construction endeavor run by the BAM Infra company. The bridge, which is meant to remain in operation for at least 30 years, was tested in the lab and onsite with a 5-ton weight, much more than it will ever hold in practice, The University Network reported.

Construction Halts at Church Destroyed on Sept. 11 Colleen Long ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK (AP) Construction on a Greek Orthodox church to replace one that was crushed in the Sept. 11 attacks has been temporarily suspended amid rising costs and questions over how donations have been managed. The St. Nicholas National Shrine next to the World Trade Center memorial plaza was to replace a tiny church obliterated when the trade center’s south tower fell in 2001. The new building was designed by renowned architect Santiago Calatrava, who created the soaring white bird-like mall and transit hub nearby called the Oculus. But unlike the transit hub, built largely with federal transportation dollars, the church is being funded through donations including from the Greek government, Greek Orthodox church members around the world, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston and the Italian city of Bari, whose patron saint is St. Nicholas. In September, the estimated cost was $50 million. But according to The New York Times, which first reported the work suspension, the cost had jumped to an estimated $72 million to $78 million as of

AGC of America (The Associated General Contractors of America) Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management Dates: JANUARY 29 – 31, 2018 Place: Naples, Florida Overview: AGC will return to the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort in Naples, FL for its 2018 Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management. The dates are Monday, January 29 to Wednesday, January 31, 2018. Football fans will note that this is the week preceding the Super Bowl. In the past, the conference has conflicted with this annual sporting event, but again this year, the conference will avoid any conflicts with the big game! Who Should Attend? This conference serves and supports everyone playing a senior role in construction risk management. That group includes the senior executives of the construction companies in the AGC family, and particularly the in-house lawyers and risk managers for these companies. In addition, the regular attendees include the sureties, bond producers, insurance carriers, insurance brokers, lawyers and other professionals on whom such executives continue to depend for advice and assistance. History, Focus and Objective: AGC’s annual Conference on Surety Bonding and Construction Risk Management had a quiet beginning as a modest committee meeting. Over the years, it has become a much larger event. It continues, however, to focus on the thought leaders in the field of construction risk management, including the surety, insurance and legal professionals who continue to play such important roles. Indeed, its primary objective is to provide a meaningful opportunity for each and all of them to engage in candid discussion of their respective strengths and weaknesses. Attire: The attire for all business sessions and social events will be business casual.

In addition, employees are asked to describe the best reasons to work at their companies as well as any downsides. The Best Places to Work are determined using company reviews shared by U.S.based employees between Nov. 1, 2016, and Oct. 22, 2017. To be considered for the large category, a company must have at least 1,000 or more employees and have received at least 75 ratings across eight workplace attributes from U.S.-based employees during the period of eligibility.
