ultiple construction and construction materials industry segments converged on the Las Vegas Convention Center and Festival Grounds as they came together for ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020 to unveil new technologies and products, share knowledge, network with industry peers and buy equipment. Registrations for the show totaled more than 130,000. At the conclusion of the show, cancellations from international attendees totaled less than 1 percent. “We refer to ConExpo-Con/AGG as the ‘heavy metal’ show, but it’s more than that,” said Mary Erholtz, vice president of marketing of Superior Industries and ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020 show chairperson. “It’s also small equipment, education and technology. And that was reflected in
every way this week. Giant machines, incredible exhibits, fantastic education and huge expectations. Organizers of ConExpo have a legacy of building and innovating on previous shows, and the 2020 gathering extends that record of success. This has been one of the best editions of ConExpo — ever.” Exhibitors across the show, from the Festival Grounds to North Hall to Bronze Lot to South Hall, expressed enthusiasm for the tremendous engagement they received from contractors and producers looking to purchase equipment. According to IFPE Show Chairperson David Price, global marketing manager of HydraForce Inc., “The crowd was much better than expected see CONEXPO page 30

Heavy equipment theft rates track with the overall economy, and 2019 was a good year. Many major cities are in the midst of building and road projects, and construction sites are magnets for machinery heists. Tractors and loaders represent the highest

percentage of stolen machines, and thieves aren’t discriminating between equipment yards or construction sites. Being vigilant is crucial to preventing heavy equipment theft, and fortunately it can be a fairly painless process. Risk management provider National Equipment Register (NER), a Verisk company, reports that because the used equipment mar-
ket is strong this year, thefts follow suit. The theft of new machines from dealer, rental and contractor equipment yards, as well as equipment rental fraud, were major issues last year and resulted in several large busts. In the theft prevention battle, equipment owners can take advantage of technology they may already have in place. see THEFT page 76

WIC: Lisa Wilson of G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking By Katie Kohler CEG CORRESPONDENT
You can make a career out of playing in the dirt. You just have to have a good foundation. Lisa Wilson spent plenty of time playing in the dirt like many children. While the residue of a spirited childhood playtime fades, some things do not. Wilson’s parents taught her the importance of a solid work ethic, and her mother kept her family involved in the church, which gave her a strong foundation of faith. Wilson’s father, G.L. Williams, founded G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking in 1967 with one dump truck and one loader. Wilson assumed the role of president and owner in 2000. Over the course of nearly twenty years, she’s steered the family company Lisa Wilson, to new horizons of growth. president of Today, the Graniteville, S.C., G.L. Williams full-service trucking business spe- & Daughter cializes in demolition and debris Trucking removal, driveway repair, grading, clearing and excavating, property maintenance, mining and landfill and bin rental. G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking owns six mines, three compost sites and an inert landfill which offers a place to dump clearing debris. Strong, reliable equipment is needed in the trucking business, and their fleet includes both heavy equipment and 13 Mack Granites. The company has owned other brands over the years but always came back to Mack Trucks. G.L. Williams’ trucks are not on the road all the time — they can also be found in yards, fields and mines — therefore, the trucks need a suspension that holds up well. But engines and spark plugs and debris Lisa Wilson and her father, G.L. Williams removal weren’t things that Wilson ever Women in Trucking Are Rare envisioned dealing with on a day-to-day A little more than 23 percent of transbasis, as she didn’t always consider the famportation/storage/distribution managers are ily business as a career path for herself. She worked in a lab for several years in women. Only 6.7 percent of construction Augusta. When her children were young, managers are women, according to the she wanted to spend more time with them so Women in Trucking Association. Wilson admitted that sometimes it can be her mother suggested she work at the company part-time. She eventually transitioned tough being a woman in a leadership role in to full-time and played an integral role in the trucking industry. “Sometimes people don’t take you seriexpanding the business and its capabilities. “I’ve always been a tomboy,” Wilson told ously, and I feel like I have to prove myself CEG. “I grew up in the business driving the more,” she said. “I want people to do busitrucks and loaders. I would watch my father ness with me because I feel we do a good work and be amazed how you would come job, not because we’re a woman-owned to a project and it would be so overgrown, business.” Wilson has grown as a leader and one of and when he would finish the work, it was a the main reasons, along with the G.L. nice cleared lot. It made a difference.”
Williams & Daughter Trucking’s team, is the ongoing support and encouragement of her husband and father. “You have to have other good people behind you,” Wilson stated. Preconceived notions about women in the trucking industry aren’t just limited to dayto-day operations. At a trade show when she talks to vendors, most of the men focus their attention to her husband and ask him questions. “You need to ask her, she’s the boss,” he typically replies. At industry-related trade shows and conferences, Wilson is usually one of very few women in attendance. However, this has never deterred her and she has seen more women enter the field over the years.
Leadership, Listening and Team-Building G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking is still a small business, but they’ve grown by expanding their capabilities as evidenced by their full-service trucking services. Wilson credits much of the growth to her team. “I’ve got one the best teams,” she said. “We work together well and there is a mutual level of respect. We all have each other’s back.” When hiring, Wilson looks at previous job history, especially how long they stayed at past employers. She values honesty, dependability, willingness to learn and timeliness. “Character has a lot to do with it,” she said. As a leader, Wilson cites the importance of seeing potential in employees and investing in them by training and adding responsibilities. “If you see something in an employee, you nurture that and help them grow because they will help you grow. Each employee is special to me. They are the face of the company. When they are in the trucks or in the field, they are representing my family name. If I look after them, they will do the same for me.” Wilson has an open door policy. She extolls the virtues of the policy as a way for employees to know their input and concerns are valuable. “They don’t need to be a number, they need to be a name,” she said. G.L. Williams & Daughter Trucking is active on various social media platforms, displaying pictures of their work, equipment and employees. One recent Facebook post showcased the foundation of the company — service. “How can we help you?” the post began. “We have the equipment for almost any project you might need help with. We get dirty so you don't have to.” For Wilson, listening to the customer and deciphering their needs is vital. “I don’t want to go out there and sell someone something that isn’t going to fix their problem,” she said. “I want to help them. At the end of the day, if I didn’t do a good job for that customer, then they aren’t going to be happy and aren’t going to tell people good things about the company. You have to do a good job so it will follow you.” CEG

Hauling excavated material to fill in scour hole left by damage incurred by the Vernon Lake dam and spillway during Hurricane Harvey in 2017.
Pumping water out of the spillway approach channel scour hole.
Years After Hurricane Harvey, Dam Still Under Repair By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT
Hurricane Harvey caused extensive damage in Texas and Louisiana during August 2017, including major devastation to the Vernon Lake dam and spillway in Vernon, La., which is the subject of a $1 million Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (LADOTD) repair project. The contract was awarded to Merrick Construction LCC in February 2019 and work began last July. The earthen dam, spillway approach channel and the spillway itself were all damaged by Harvey, and crews from Merrick have completed all of the major benchmarks (with work ongoing to complete the patching on spillway). “When delivered, the management gate will be completely closed again, allowing Vernon Lake to refill at the maximum rate nature allows,” explained Erin Buchanan, LADOTD’s public information officer. “LADOTD initiated the process of allowing the lake to refill by closing the management gate several months ago. We recently slowed the rate of rise of the water level in the lake by slightly opening the management gate to ensure the last few items of work within the spillway can be completed.” The damage to the infrastructure was considerable, with the embankment being affected by major cracks — between 75 and 100 ft. on the lake side and approximately 200 ft. on the downstream side. This led to the embankment sliding into the water between 5 and 10 ft. The dam consists of a 5,275-ft. earthen embankment with a 300-ft.-wide concrete
chute spillway and approach channel. It also has a management control structure that consists of a 6x6-ft. concrete conduit penetration of the embankment with an inlet tower and sluice gates. “The damages were precipitated by rainfall associated with Harvey that produced approximately 20 inches of rain over a fourday period,” Buchanan said. “The embankment experienced a slide on the downstream slope near the east abutment that extended from the downstream crown to near the downstream toe of the embankment. There was an existing minor surficial slide on the
lake side of the embankment near the location of the newly developed downstream slide. “Additionally, during the high flow event, significant scouring occurred within the earthen spillway approach channel that was approaching the concrete chute spillway,” she added. “The spillway approach channel scour was caused by modifications [cutting a boat channel into the approach channel] that had occurred many years earlier. Also due to the high flows in the concrete spillway, some areas that had previously been patched were damaged.”
A Komatsu dozer helps fortify the embankment.
Due to the damage, the lake water surface elevation was lowered approximately 17 ft. and maintained that level as much as possible in order to prevent loading on the embankment in area of the slide, as well as providing storage to prevent any spillway flows for rainfall events. “The initial concerns during the event were loss of the earthen embankment and a breach of the dam,” Erickson said. “Had the dam breached, analysis indicates that multiple structures would have been flooded, as well as significant flooding and potential damage to numerous state and parish [county] roads.” Authorities had to develop a repair plan, and the first item was to lower the water surface in order to adequately assess all of the damage. “Surveys of the entire structure were taken,” Erickson said. “A geotechnical investigation was performed in the area of the embankment slides. Stability analysis was performed on various embankment configurations and a downstream stability berm was selected as the final embankment configuration. A complete assessment of all damages was made, with plans and specifications developed to repair the damages. Concurrent with the damage assessment and design process, funding sources for the project were secured.” The repair project was designed by LADOTD personnel. The stability analysis was performed by Fred Young P.E., dam safety engineer, and the plans were developed by Bradley Sticker P.E., water resources engineer. see DAM page 80

Sage Oil Vac Promotes Environmental Responsibility Changing irrigation engine oil can become a cacophony of empty 5-gal. buckets rolling around the bed of a pickup, with the remaining dregs of some of those containers creating an oil slick covering just about everything in reach. Combined with the heat, the odor of burned or used oil and the dirty or muddy conditions common around most irrigation engines is a scenario familiar to just about everyone familiar with the job — and one that few enjoy. In 1993, that exact scenario had become reality for Gary Sage, and he was looking for a change. The inventor integrated the oil vac system he created in servicing his own irrigation engines. The result: not a single drop of oil spilled on
himself, his equipment, his machinery or the ground. Range of Oil Change Options Now almost three decades later, Sage’s invention has become the foundation for Sage Oil Vac, a company committed to efficiency and environmental sustainability on job sites ranging from irrigation and wind turbines to heavy excavation in the United States and around the world. Currently, Sage Oil Vac offerings include lube trucks ranging from Class 5 to Class 8, fuel and lube trailers, lube skids, lube carts and a LubeBuilder system that can be customized to fit any vehicle and operation size.
Gary Sage (L) retired as Sage Oil Vac CEO, paving the way for son Aaron to take the company’s reins.
All Sage Oil Vac oil exchange systems feature a pumpfree design that uses vacuum pressure technology and compressed air to exchange fluid at a rate of up to 15 gal. per minute. In addition to improving cleanliness and efficiency, the Sage Oil Vac system also eliminates maintenance issues more common with pump-driven systems. see SAGE page 26

An Injury-Free Game Plan...
Jobsite Safety Starts With Proper Tools, Training, Attention By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT
With a primary goal of “correcting workplace safety and health hazards and ensuring compliance,” OSHA has raised its civil penalties by about 1.8 percent for workplace safety and health violations. The new penalty amounts take effect immediately, applying to any penalties assessed after Jan. 15, 2020. If an OSHA Compliance Safety and Health Officer (CSHO) finds a hazard or standard violation during an onsite inspection, the inspector may issue citations and penalties. If the agency issues any citations or penalties, an employer may request an informal conference with the OSHA area director to discuss citations, penalties, abatement dates or any other information pertinent to the inspection. The agency and the employer may work out a settlement agreement to address hazards found during an inspection. Like OSHA, construction contractors want a safe job site. But for workers to perform their jobs safely, they need the right tools and equipment for the task at hand; training and education to make good decisions; and jobsite leadership that motivates and encourages safe behavior, believes Paul Satti of the Chicagoland Construction Safety Council. A work-related event during which an injury, illness or fatality has occurred can often be attributed to an unsafe condition or act on a construction site, he said. These situations almost always result from failure of some component of an organization’s management system, continued Satti, the Council’s technical director. Flawed safety and health programs often share these characteristics: 1) a lack of management support, commitment, and resources; 2) insufficient training; and 3) a failure in supervisor accountability. “In the construction industry, short-sighted pressures abound, from ‘working fast’ to ‘getting the job done’ to ‘accommodating the lowest bidder.’ In the long run, these strategies prove costly,” he said. An effective safety and health management system rewards successful businesses with fewer losses in manpower, equipment and productivity. “The core elements of an effective safety and health management system include management leadership, worker participation, risk identification and assessment, hazard prevention and control, education and training,” said Satti. To help employers and employees remain safe and sound, OSHA has established a national network of more than two-dozen
Equipment should be inspected at least once daily before operating. Hydraulic hoses, undercarriage, oil levels, stress points, etc. need to be checked and reported to the maintenance/safety department before machine start-up.
training organizations located throughout the country. Each OSHA Training Institute (OTI) Education Center offers affordable and accessible programming for the construction, maritime, and general industries, according to Satti. His three best practices for incident prevention on construction job sites are a commitment to a comprehensive safety and health management system that includes established goals and engaged employees; training at all levels, from experienced supervisors to front-line workers, about how to recognize and avoid workplace hazards; and accountability for individual actions. He said this includes “persistence in determining the root causes of unsafe conditions and behaviors.” It behooves all construction contractors to make sure the equipment operators in their employ are qualified to run the machinery assigned to them. But construction data management solutions provider Nektar said because of the prevalence of incident reports involving heavy equipment and earthmoving machines, operators must have identifiable and verifiable training on the equipment
they are operating that day. According to the Edmonton, Albertabased company, accidents can happen to both novice operators and seasoned veterans. “Accidents can happen, but most are preventable incidents,” according to Nektar. “Having regular safety meetings and up-todate procedures and training will keep incidents down and work days more efficient.” Here are the company’s tips for avoiding equipment accidents beginning with situational awareness: • Blind spot: Heavy equipment operators have to be 100 percent sure that no one is behind them or in their blind spots when moving, even if this involves getting out of the machine and checking. If vision is limited, have a spotter stand in a safe, visible position to guide and direct you. Inform those working around you of your blind spots and require them to make eye contact with you before coming in the equipment’s vicinity. High-visibility vests are a must on all sites. • Communication: Always be in constant communication with the people work-
ing around you. A two-way radio is the best form of communication, according to the company. If that option is not available, then use hand signals from a spotter who has been properly trained. Communication with operators should be touched upon at every safety meeting and reinforced by the foreman on site. • Seatbelts: Wearing a seatbelt in heavy equipment is just as important as in a moving motor vehicle. There is no excuse for not wearing one at all times. Not only will it save the operator’s life in the case of a rollover, it keeps him or her firmly in the seat when operating on rough terrain, saving energy and reducing close calls by the end of a long day. • Mounting and dismounting: Falls and stepping on and off are some of the biggest causes of injury recorded by OSHA and other safety departments. This includes entering and exiting the cab of a machine. A good rule of thumb is to always maintain a three-point contact when getting on or off of your equipment, and never jump. The ThreePoint Rule requires three of four points of contact to be maintained with the vehicle at all times: two hands and one foot, or both feet and one hand. If handholds or steps are damaged, replace them. It could prevent major injury over time. • Loading/unloading equipment: Always be sure to be on level ground when loading or unloading your equipment. It greatly reduces the risk of rollovers or sliding off the low-bed ramps. If you are unloading on a busy jobsite or high traffic area, make sure people are clear of the unloading area and use a spotter to guide you. • Overhead and underground hazards: Before work starts on any job site, all overhead obstructions such as power lines and low clearance should be identified and flagged. Underground utilities such as water, sewer, gas and electrical need to be located by the appropriate department and marked with color-coded paint. Play it safe when getting close to the underground utility and hand dig to uncover, said Nektar. When leaving dugout holes that workers or the public can fall in to, be sure to set up barriers and snow fencing. • Lock-out/tag-out: In accordance with OSHA, employers must train and have procedures in place to ensure that before any employee performs service or maintenance on a machine where unexpected start-up or release of stored energy could occur and cause injury, the machine or energy source must be rendered inoperative. This includes hazards such as pinch points, attachments, and raised loads. Picture warnings, locks and see SAFETY page 22

tags are to be used to prevent any incidents. • Load limits: Be aware of the load limits of varying equipment when operating different machines throughout the day. Depending on the equipment set-up and size, the load limits can change drastically. When lifting objects with a machine make sure loads are secure with the proper rigging attachments, and always inspect to ensure they are in good working condition. As with most equipment operations, confirm all workers are at a safe distance when lifting and moving loads. • Walk-around inspection: Equipment should be inspected at least once daily before operating. This involves walking around with a pre-developed checklist of components to check for good working order. Hydraulic hoses, undercarriage, oil levels, stress points, etc. are all areas that need to be inspected and reported to the maintenance/safety department before machine start-up. Using a cloud-based mobile device to complete a task such as this can greatly improve communication and response time between operator and mechanic. • Knowing your limits: Operating heavy equipment can be a stressful job at times even for a seasoned veteran. Never put yourself in a situation you don’t feel comfortable in regardless of your instructions. Get out and look if unsure about working on a slope or around hazards. Staying calm and alert throughout the day will allow you to be more productive, and will translate to a positive working environment for those around you. Working with or around heavy equipment should be part of your overall safety program. All workers should be trained on the dangers and hazards of working with heavy equipment. Additional tips from construction pipeline management solution developer Construct Connect include: • Lights, camera, action: When you fire up the equipment, make sure the lights, gauges, horn, and backup alarms are all working properly. Make sure all arms, shovels, buckets, etc. fully extend in all directions. If the cab rotates, check to make sure it can do so in all directions. Never use equipment that isn’t working properly or appears damaged. Not only could you damage the machine further, but it could be a major safety issue if not fixed before use. • Dress for success: Always wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, safety glasses, sturdy boots and hard hats. Make sure the equipment fits you properly and is designed for the task to be performed. If you work with or around heavy construction equipment, you’ll have a healthy respect for what these powerful machines
can do, believes heavy equipment provider Holt of California. Most workers perform daily duties uninjured because they’re aware of dangers associated with equipment operation, and they take steps to mitigate potential accidents. These astute operators and helpers truly appreciate the importance of heavy equipment safety. Here are jobsite safety tips from Holt: • Ejection injuries: Machinery and equipment can eject objects and strike someone. Common mechanical hazards include rotating shafts, colliding surfaces, scissor or shear action, sharp edges and detachable connections. Risks associated with mechanical hazards are entanglement, crushing, severing, cutting, and puncturing as well as slips and falls when dodging moving components. • Non-mechanical hazards: Not all heavy equipment hazards come from components in motion. Almost all machines have stored energy waiting for release. That can be gasses or fluids under pressure, electrical charges and hot surfaces. Worker hazards from non-mechanical means also include noxious substances like exhaust emissions and chemical by-products. As well, consider the noise hazard that heavy equipment operation generates. Holt noted that situationally aware workers always assess their machinery for non-mechanical

hazard potential. They realize how heavy equipment affects the area or environment around them, and know that common nonmechanical hazards include dust; explosive or flammable atmospheres; radiated and conducted heat; high-intensity light like lasers or welding arc flashes; heavy metals including lead, mercury and cadmium; steam releases; and ionizing radiation such
as microwaves and X-rays. Whether you’re around a large excavator on a commercial construction site, working with a grader in the roadbuilding industry or operating a skid steer on a residential renovation project, you need to be aware of what your equipment is capable of, stressed Holt. That includes what it’s capable of doing to you. CEG

Conveyer Belt Speeds Up Fayetteville Outer Loop Progress By Irwin Rapoport
An innovative effort in delivering this phase of the Fayetteville Outer Loop project is the use of a conveyor belt system to efficiently transport fill material.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
Construction on another section of the North Carolina Department of Transportation’s (NCDOT) Fayetteville Outer Loop project began last spring — a $129.7 million design-build contract awarded to the Wilmington, N.C.-based team of Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc. (BBI), Branch Civil Inc. (BC) and STV Engineers Inc. The joint-venture, which secured the contract in November 2017, is designing and building Section A — 5.7 mi., Camden Road to Interstate 95 near the Robeson-Cumberland county line. Taking place in both counties, construction is scheduled to wrap in the summer of 2022. “The new highway will improve travel and safety in the region, increase economic opportunities, enhance freight movement and take traffic off locally congested roads,” said Andrew Barksdale, an NCDOT public relations officer. “It also better connects our rural and urban areas and employment centers, giving Fort Bragg better interstate access to help fulfill its critical missions. We plan to have the entire outer loop, all 39 miles, opened to traffic by 2024.” Fayetteville, the state’s sixth-largest city, is a growing community and commercial/industrial center. When complete, the new highway will The conveyer operates 20 hours a day, and each day be known as Interstate 295. About half the loop just more than 4,000 yds. (350 yds. per hour) of dirt is is open to traffic. The project is being funded by scooped up and carried on the belt. the National Highway Performance Program. This section of the divided interstate-style highway will have two lanes in each direction; 14 bridges; three interchanges — at I-95, at Parkton Road and at Black Ridge Road, which will connect to Old Plank Road; and six roundabouts at the on/off ramps to replace traditional intersections with stop signs. “The interchanges for this section are in rural areas, so traffic volumes are lower,” Barksdale said. “Roundabouts are a great alternative to traditional intersections with stop signs. They improve safety because you must slow down to enter them, and they eliminate the stop-and-go nature of a conventional intersection.”
Peak days have 60-plus J-V and subcontractor employees on site.
The only underground infrastructure being installed are waterlines for the Robeson County government and the Fayetteville Public Works Commission. There will be an interchange at Camden Road, but it will be built as part of the last segment to be awarded in July 2020. The J-V’s section’s infrastructure is being designed by STV. The construction is taking place on undeveloped property, and because this segment of the highway will not be open to traffic until this entire segment is completed, traffic impacts are minimal. “However, the contractor must close the West Green Springs Road bridge over I-95 to make room for the construction of the I-95 and future I-295 interchange at this same location,” Barksdale said. “We will close the bridge for about a year in early 2020.” The J-V has made a good start. “We’re working steadily from I-95, and we’ve constructed the end bents and central bents [of the bridges] for both ramps crossing I-95,” explained Keith Nixon, Balfour Beatty’s operations manager — special projects. “We’re well under way hauling and placing dirt for structures. Next year is going to be wide open. We have two borrow sources on either side of the project. We plan to have six structures, mainly bridges, done in 2020 and to commence major improvements on I-95, including resurfacing.” Right-of-way (ROW) is a challenge for the project, as is the heavy traffic along I-95 and the impact of the hurricanes in 2018 and 2019, which flooded large areas of the job site. According to Nixon, the good news with the ROW is that all the acquisition should be done by end of 2019. “That will open up the whole project,” Nixon said. “We’re see LOOP page 28

Sage Oil Vac’s Next Generation Continues Primary Focus SAGE from page 18
Decade of Expansion Eight years after his original system sparked the ambition to create Sage Oil Vac, Sage opened a full-time shop dedicated to fabricating the systems in Amarillo, Texas, in 2001. In the decade that followed, he expanded the company by diversifying Sage Oil Vac systems to outfit service technicians maintaining heavy equipment, generators, rental fleets and oil and gas field machinery. In 2004, the company created a partnership to custom-build oil vac systems for the U.S. Army Reserves. After opening a new 24,000-sq.-ft. facility to accommodate the growth that partnership created, Sage Oil Vac’s diversification continued with the 2007 development of the Gear Oil Exchange (GOEX) system for changing oil and servicing wind turbines. The GOEX system is available in a variety of platforms, including skids, open trailers, enclosed trailers and trucks or offshore containers, and includes an onboard filtration system that reduces wear particles on wind turbine gearboxes, which significantly increases component and gearbox life spans. The resulting niche market created by the development of the GOEX system took Sage systems to overseas customers when it gained distributors in Europe and Australia. In 2012, the company’s decade of evolution netted it the Top Small Business of the Year award by the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce, as well as the President’s “E” Award for Exports. Next Generation of Leadership Four years later, Sage retired as Sage Oil Vac CEO, paving

Since becoming CEO in 2016, Aaron has continued to grow the family business, which now has a dealer network of more than 30 locations around the United States. Though the company has evolved a great deal since its inception, the primary focus of Sage Oil Vac has not changed. “We’re just as committed to bringing efficiency and environmental responsibility to consumers through the use of our mobile lube equipment as we were in 1993,” Aaron said.

Relations with NCDOT and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are solid, and everyone has been engaged. It’s a very proactive working relationship.” The earth work is pressing forward. “Sometimes the material from our primary borrow sources can be wet and there’s multiple clay layers,” stated BBI’s Jason Schuster, a co-project manager. “But right now, it’s moving a little bit better than we planned and going as we expected. It’s possible that the borrow source on the west end can be used on the next section of the Outer Loop.” Shonn Wallace of BC, another co-project manager, pointed out that equipment with GPS systems helps to attain specifications for the roads. “We’re working two locations, and we have multiple crews,” Wallace said. “We’re now deploying more crews, and the L line — which is main link of the project — will have several. On the Y line, once they get access, a lot of culverts will be under construction. Mountain Creek, a major subcontractor, is doing culvert construction right now, and we also started to bring up MSE walls.” Construction of the new roads has not begun yet, but the plan is to start from the middle and work towards each end. Once grading is completed, 8 in. of stone and subbase will be laid and covered by 8.5 in. of asphalt. When operations to set the girders over I-95 for the I-295 interchange begin, there will be temporary closures of I-95 on weekend evenings for safety. “Because we have to use large dump trucks to haul dirt over U.S. 301, we will be setting up a temporary traffic signal to allow the dump trucks to safely enter and cross the highway to the work site,” Barksdale said. The interchange work will start in 2020 and rapidly expand when the ROW restrictions are removed.
haul borrow material over major routes in Wilmington and Raleigh for other highway projects.” Concrete Systems supplied most of the conveyer system components, which was chosen because spare belts, rollers and replacement parts can be purchased off-theshelf and stockpiled on site. The conveyer belt will be dismantled 18 months from now. The project will require more than 3 million cu. yds. of borrow (dirt), 250,000 tons of asphalt, 280,000 tons of stone base and a large amount of concrete, which will be used for the bridges.

under the circumstances and most importantly, the right buyers were on the show floor. We were very pleased with the strong showing from the 300-plus exhibitors at IFPE 2020, and we are looking forward to the 2023 show.” Mike Ballweber, president, Doosan Bobcat echoed those sentiments. “Tuesday for us was record breaking in terms of leads and attendance at our booth, which is how we measure how successful the show is for us. We had more people to our booth on the first day than all of the 2017 show. This is a once-every-three-years show, and our dealers and customers were really excited to be here.” With growing concerns about COVID-19, show management worked closely with the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and the Southern Nevada Health District to make sure exhibitors, vendors and attendees were provided with heightened cleaning services and hand sanitizers to help reduce the spread of germs and enable show participation to stay healthy on site at the show. “We have been pleased with the success of the overall show and attendance in our booth,” said Ingo Schiller, president and CEO of Tadano America Corporation. “The management team at ConExpo has been monitoring the situation and they made a very difficult decision to close the show a day early. We appreciate their leadership and we look forward to ConExpo-Con/AGG 2023.” Key metrics of the show included:
Now this is a first! The Bomag Robomag operator-free asphalt compactor — a fully-autonomous tandem roller for asphalt compaction. Based on geo-fencing and GPS data, it can autonomously compact a preplanned area. It includes Bomag’s Asphalt Manager technology for achieving optimal compaction results and documenting these. It also contains sensors for obstacle detection to improve safety.
The Pulse of the Show and the Industry By David Daly CEG CORRESPONDENT
MB Crusher America of Reno, Nev., displayed its lineup of specialized screening buckets, drum cutters and crusher buckets in the Silver Lot.
Rubble Master paid tribute to its dealers and customers in the United States with this speciallydetailed machine.
During ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020 from Tuesday, March 10 through Friday, March 13 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, contractors from across the United States expressed pervasive optimism about the construction industry for 2020. Construction Equipment Guide (CEG) spoke with contractors at the show to get their thoughts about the industry and ConExpo. We asked attendees about their outlook for the construction industry in 2020, why they attended ConExpo-Con/AGG 2020 and what specifically they were they were looking to learn more about or to purchase and what kind of work they do. Many were looking to see exhibitors both large and small with an eye on new technologies. “We see business increasing a lot in 2020 … especially for our company in Hawaii,” said both Mark Na’auao and Jaime Galam of Na’auao Traffic Control, Wailuku, Hawaii. “Even though there are not a lot of traffic control companies exhibiting here, we have attended the last three shows and enjoy seeing what’s new. Our company works in traffic control and pro-
vides services for all types of projects and events. We are excited to see Volvo and their Gold Rush booth but love seeing everything that is developing in the industry.” Gregory Nible of Ruach Resources, Tioga, N.D., said simply that his boss thought that attending the show was invaluable. “I’m here to see the trucks on display for the most part,” he said. “Our outlook as a company is very positive. Flaring rules in North Dakota keep us busy. I provide ready mix and crushed rock.” Mike Griffith of Griffith Excavating Inc., Baker, Mont., said, “We brought some of our new guys to see the show, and what the industry has to offer, especially the smaller companies you don’t always hear about. We mostly work in the oil and gas sector in site construction but build some commercial and residential properties, too. I wanted to see Deere and Bobcat. We usually trade up after 1,000 hours, so we’ll see what the show has to offer.” Dragan Dabizljevic of Rilco Inc., Rock Island, Ill., said “2020 looks great. The economy is good, and it’s good to see small companies at the show. I’m here because this is where my customers are. I am always looking for new leads. We deal in lubricant sales and equipment reliability services.”
Ralph Cotterman of Hills Machinery Company, North Charleston, S.C., said “It will be a good year, and we should see continued growth. I came to the show to see what we can add to our product line. There are several companies I came to see such as Eagle, Edge and Case.” Jonathan Gordon of Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Sterling, Va., said that 2020 is looking positive for his organization’s sector. “I’m here for the multitude of equipment on display. My primary focus is in fleet management and I want to see Cat and Thunder Creek.” Ethan Courter of the Walbec Group, Waukesha, Wis., said “It looks like a good year, similar to last year. It’s my first trade show and I am here to learn. I handle pit and quarry paving and I’m here to see it all.” While it is still too early to know for sure, if ConExpo attendees are correct, the industry is in for another great year. With well-established companies looking as strong as ever at the show and many smaller companies showcasing new technologies, the outlook for 2020 looks promising. Even as concerns over economic reactions to COVID-19 rise, the construction industry will hopefully remain solid and continue to grow. CEG

AISC, NSBA Name Winners of 2020 Prize Bridge Awards
The judges elected to recognize Pittsburgh’s Liberty Bridge with a special award for resilience.
The American Institute of Steel Construction and the National Steel Bridge Alliance have announced the winners of the 2020 Prize Bridge Awards. “These projects are tributes to the creativity of the designers and the skills of the constructors who collaborated to make them reality,” said AISC President Charles J. Carter. “Steel shines and soars on their talents and we celebrate the accomplishments these projects represent.” Since Pittsburgh’s Sixth Street Bridge won the first competition in 1928, more than 600 bridges of all sizes from all across the United States have received a Prize Bridge Award. Some of those bridges, such as the Wabash Railroad bridge in Wayne County, Mich., which won a prize in 1941 and still carries railroad traffic more than 70 years later, have actually outlasted the companies that built them. Long Span National: Manning Crevice Bridge (Riggins, Idaho) Merit: Pfeiffer Canyon Bridge (Big Sur, Calif.) Major Span National: Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (Westchester-Rockland Counties, N.Y.) Merit: Broadway Bridge over the Arkansas River (Little Rock/North Little Rock, Ark.) Merit: Portageville Bridge Replacement (Portageville, N.Y.) Medium Span National: Grand Avenue Bridge (Glenwood Springs, Colo.) Merit: Williams Creek (Shoup) Bridge (Salmon, Idaho) Movable Span National: Sarah Mildred Long Bridge (between Kittery, Maine and Portsmouth,
N.H.) Merit: Bayou Sara Swing Bridge (Mobile County, Ala.) Reconstructed (New Structure on Same Alignment) National: BNSF Wind River Bridge (Skamania County, Wash.) Merit: I-240 MemFix4 (Memphis) Rehab (Same Structure, Same Primary Members) National: Andy Warhol (Seventh Street) Bridge (Pittsburgh) Merit: Winona Bridge (Winona, Minn.) Short Span National: Vine Street Expressway (I-676) Bridge Reconstruction Project - 18th to 22nd Streets (Philadelphia) Merit: Anchor Bay Drive (St. Clair County, Mich.) Special Purpose National: Frances Appleton Pedestrian Bridge (Boston) Merit: 41st Street Pedestrian Bridge (Chicago) Merit: East Shore Trail Bridge (Lake Tahoe, Nev.) The judges also elected to recognize Pittsburgh’s Liberty Bridge with a special award for resilience. This bridge, which was originally built in 1928, demonstrated the superior resilience of structural steel with a remarkable recovery — reopening to traffic just 24 days after an accidental construction fire warped and buckled a main truss compression chord. Awards for each winning project will be presented to the project team members involved in the design and construction of each winning bridge during an NSBA event in Branson, Mo., during the AASHTO CBS meeting, June 1 to 4.

JCB Celebrates Its 750,000th Backhoe JCB celebrated a unique milestone as its 750,000th backhoe loader rolled off the production line in Rocester, Staffordshire — the very location where the first JCB backhoe was manufactured almost 70 years ago. In 1953 company founder, the late Joseph Cyril Bamford CBE, conceived the idea of the JCB backhoe loader, which created, for the first time, a single machine combining a front shovel and rear excavator arm. In its first full year of production in 1954, just 35 of the machines were produced and it took more than 20 years for the first 50,000 to be made. JCB now manufactures backhoe loaders in the United States, UK, India and Brazil. “Some of my earliest childhood memories are of watching our first backhoe loaders being produced and it’s incredible to think we have now manufactured 750,000,” said Lord Bamford, JCB chairman. “The backhoe remains one of the world’s most (L-R) are JCB backhoe loader employees Nihal Dhillon; Phil popular construction machines almost seven Starbuck; John Plant; JCB Chairman Lord Bamford; Shannon decades after it first was produced, dominating the Ramczykowski; and Keith Bloor celebrating the production of world market for 19 consecutive years.

Hyundai: Hydrogen Fuel on Horizon Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas announced that its parent company, Hyundai Construction Equipment, recently entered into an agreement with Hyundai Motors and Hyundai Mobis to develop hydrogen-fueled excavators and forklifts, with development starting this year and plans to roll out the technology as soon as 2023. The three companies will collaborate on the technology at Hyundai’s Mabuk Research Center in Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, Korea. According to the Memorandum of Understanding signed by all parties, Hyundai Motors and Hyundai Mobis will design and manufacture hydrogen fuel cell systems, including power packs, while Hyundai Construction Equipment will design, manufacture and evaluate the performance of the excavators and forklifts incorporating the technology. Unlike conventional diesel-enginebased equipment, hydrogen-based
electric construction equipment uses electricity produced through the chemical reactions between hydrogen and oxygen as its power source, which means there are no toxic emissions polluting the air. In addition, compared with lithium-battery-powered electric machines, hydrogen fuel cells are especially compatible with the power demands associated with large construction equipment because it is easier to expand the capacity of hydrogen fuel cells. Agreement Lays Foundation for Commercialization of Hydrogen-Powered Equipment Hwang Jong-hyun, head of the R&D Division of Hyundai Construction Equipment and Hyundai Material Handling, said, “With this latest agreement, we’ve prepared a foundation upon which we can secure core technology in hydrogen-powered construc-
tion equipment ahead of our competitors. Hyundai Construction Equipment will do its very best to meet the challenges that lie ahead as countries around the world attempt to establish global standard for certifying the performance of equipment and legislating relevant laws for the commercialization of hydrogen-powered construction equipment, and play a leading role in the market moving forward.” Stan Park, vice president, distribution and marketing, Hyundai Construction Equipment Americas, said, “Being part of the Hyundai team that will lead the future of hydrogenpowered equipment globally is a great honor. We look forward to introducing this important forward-looking technology to customers across North America who are interested in clean, alternative fuel sources.” For more information, visit www.hceamericas.com.

GSE Holds Sennebogen Demo in Live Oak, Florida Great Southern Equipment (GSE) rolled into Live Oak, Fla., with a Sennebogen 718E on Jan. 21 for a two-day demo event. Despite a couple of chilly days in North Florida, the sun was out and the machine worked flawlessly. Prospects from all over the GSE footprint came out to see the
machine at work. In addition to GSE staff members, Sennebogen’s Ryan Zenor, regional sales manager, and Rob Frost, product specialist, traveled to the event to provide complete product information and professional demonstration.
(L-R): Fellow Sennebogen dealer Tractor & Equipment Company’s Tanner Rhea with Ladd Tharpe of Florida Right of Way Corporation, Marianna, Fla.; Ryan Zenor of Sennebogen; and David Williams, GSE-Tallahassee, Fla., do a comprehensive walkaround of the demo machine.
Sennebogen’s Ryan Zenor goes over some easy electrical system overrides in the event of a power issue in the woods.
The Sennebogen 718E and the larger 738E are both tree care industry-specific machines. Frost, who also served as demo operator, stated that these machines are crucial to tree management for maintaining roadway right of ways, pipelines and some residential-related work, but mostly DOT projects.
“When I’m sent out for a demo, my responsibilities include complete training on machine safety, techniques of removing trees — including what the machine can and cannot do — and keeping the machine safe and mechanically sound for maximum up time,” Frost said.
The cab extension/tilt becomes a crucial feature for this machine for visibility when cutting up high in a tree or stacking limbs.
Rob Frost, Sennebogen national tree care industry product specialist and demo operator, puts the Sennebogen 718E machine through a rigorous test.

As easy as one, two, three. A Sennebogen 718E takes down a tree during a recent Great Southern Equipment demonstration in Live Oak, Fla.
GSE Tests Out Senebogen 718E, 738E Tree Care Machines GSE from page 51
Anyone buying one of these machines actually gets two days of Frost’s time scheduled through Sennebogen. After putting the machine on the job site, Frost identifies what the job site entails and the work environment in conjunction with other machines on the site. He also provides customized training based on the customer’s work-at-hand. “There’s a lot of moving pieces and working parts on this machine,” Frost stated. “It’s not like an excavator where you can hop in and learn quickly. This machine takes some time for orientation on ways the machine works and effective operation. The two days that I spend with a customer are usually a jam-packed 16 to 20 hours of free training, which puts them ahead of the game right from the start by knowing all of the tricks of the trade directly from a Sennebogen specialist. Sennebogen also puts their resources to work for the dealer technicians through extensive training of them as well.” The Sennebogen 718E is pretty much ready to go right after delivery. When dropped off, the machine gets handrails and
catwalks installed, the dealer goes over the service points and all other aspects of the machines, and after that it’s virtually ready right out of the box. The Sennebogen 718E booms out to 45 ft., and to 75 ft. for the 738E. Both models come standard with front and top cages for flying debris and standard light packages. All have a standard Tier 4 final engine. The demo in Live Oak, Fla., required only 15 minutes of work for the machine to cut down a sizable tree to the main trunk, and in another five minutes all that was left was a stump. All with only one operator. Other means of tree removal could have required a bucket truck, a crane and maybe four workers taking an hour or two for this one tree. The time, machine and personnel savings with the Sennebogen machine is quite remarkable. Frost concluded his demonstration by telling attendees: “If I would have pulled a chipper, or brought in a tracked chipper to this site, I would have been able to feed the limbs directly to the hopper of the chipper and done the entire job by myself.”
GSE’s David Rush measures the final stump left after tree removal with the measurement being a rather substantial 36 in. to 42 in.

The MRX has a short center of gravity for optimal control and maneuverability and features an interchangeable jaw with options for a concrete pulverizer, concrete cracker or shear.
Stanley Infrastructure announced that LaBounty added a new versatile attachment to its demolition portfolio, the multi-jaw demolition tool (MRX). The MRX provides maximum productivity with minimal maintenance. Designed for efficient downsizing and equipped with 360-degree rotation, the MRX is useful for both primary and secondary demolition and offsite concrete processing, according to the manufacturer. The MRX has a short center of gravity for optimal control and maneuverability and features an interchangeable jaw with options for a concrete pulverizer, concrete cracker or shear. Additional product details include: • Open lower jaw, which improves penetration and rapidly downsizes material • Wide jaw for ultimate efficiency • Dual rotation motors with superior holding power and durability • Replaceable wear areas LaBounty also added the mobile rotation pulverizer (MRP) to its lineup. The MRP is a similar design to the MRX but has a dedicated concrete pulverizer jaw. At a lower weight and lower price point, the MRP is a good option for users who are seeking increased maneuverability and reliability. “With these new additions to LaBounty’s lineup, we’ve dramatically expanded the solutions available for our demolition customers,” said Michael Moriarty, director of product management at Stanley Infrastructure. “Regardless of the scale of the
project, we’ve got the right attachment to couple with our industry-leading knowhow and technical support.” With the additions of the MRX and MRP, LaBounty now offers one of the most expansive assortment of demolition tools in North America. Variety in LaBounty’s demolition portfolio provides the market a “one-stop shop” for demolition attachments best suited for any application or budget.

Nashville Company Moves, Processes Mulch With Doosan The appeal of Nashville, Tenn., is plentiful. It is the capital of Tennessee and one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, boasting more than a half-million residents, according to the Nashville Business Journal. It also is home to local businesses like Alternative Energy Products, a leader in the mulch and soil industry. The company was founded 30 years ago by Kyle King’s grandfather-in-law, who noticed there was a need for a mulch supplier in the area. His strong work ethic has led to years of success for the family-owned company. In fact, no other supplier in Nashville takes on volume as high as Alternative Energy Products. “We perform contract work in the city of Nashville and surrounding cities to grind trees into mulch,” King said. “We are an alternative to the landfill, and we recycle wood and make products for beneficial reuse. We have about 400 customers now and haul 125 tractor trailer loads per week during our busy season.”
One of two Doosan DL300-5 wheel loaders that Alternative Energy Products added to its fleet due to its long-standing relationship with Bobcat of Nashville.
Sought-After Solution Mulch is a sought-after landscaping product, which is used to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature and suppress weed growth. The products produced by Alternative Energy Products are used for decorative mulches, top dressing additives, erosion control, walking trails and International Play Equipment Manufacturers Association (IPEMA) certified playground material. Hardwood derived from trees which are grown in Middle Tennessee is the material used by Alternative Energy Products for all its products. Heavy equipment plays a prominent role in the mulching process and is why Alternative Energy Products decided it was time to upgrade its heavy equipment. “When I first started four years ago, we weren’t processing as much, but now it hasn’t stopped,” King said. “As we grew, we kept doing more and more and our equipment couldn’t keep up.” Today the company operates three facilities in the Nashville area. It depends on its equipment to sustain its growth. As a solution, the company met with its local equipment dealer, Bobcat of Nashville, and upgraded its fleet with a Doosan DX225LC5 crawler excavator and two DL300-5 wheel loaders. “My grandfather had built a relationship with the dealership for many years and decided it was the right fit for us,” King said. “It really came down to the warranty options, so he took the leap and it’s been great.”
“With Doosan wheel loaders we have taken our business to the next level.”
Kyle King
Alternative Energy Products
Mulching Made Easy Using Doosan equipment and attachments, the mulching process has become simple. It begins with customers notifying the company that they have a stockpile of trees to process. Then Kyle and his crew transport the DX225LC-5 crawler excavator and a grinder to the site, where the excavator is used to load trees into the grinder. “Many of the city sites can be kind of tight,” King stated. “But, the DX225LC-5 works out great since it’s so mobile and versatile.” Switching between buckets is simple with the excavator’s hydraulic quick coupler. An operator can press a button inside the excavator’s cab and swap buckets in a matter of minutes. King pairs the excavator’s bucket with a thumb to efficiently grab organic material before it’s loaded into the grinder. Once the material is processed, the
DL300-5 wheel loader is paired with a 10yard bucket to load the material into a truck, which is transported back to the company’s yard. Then the wheel loader stockpiles the material. Eventually it will be processed again through a separate grinder, and then it dries for 48 hours. After that, the organic material is loaded into the coloring machine, where it colors 300 yds. of mulch in an hour. “The DL300LC-5 is the only wheel loader that can load the coloring machine,” King said. “We manufacture 17 different products and a variety of specialty blends of soil amendments and top dressing for landscapers and golf courses. Obviously, these stockpiles take up a lot of room. Our Doosan wheel loader can pull up to the material instead of us having to build a ramp like we had to for our previous machine. We are saving a lot of time.”
After that process is completed, the material ages on site until it is ready to be loaded and distributed to customers. Once it is ready, area landscaping companies purchase the mulch. In a sense, it completes the circle of putting the natural material back in the community. “With Doosan wheel loaders we have taken our business to the next level,” King stated. “It now takes me seven minutes to load a truck compared to before when it was taking 20 minutes with smaller wheel loaders with a six-yard bucket.” About Doosan Infracore North America LLC Doosan Infracore North America LLC, headquartered in Suwanee, Ga., markets the Doosan brand of products that includes crawler excavators, wheel excavators, miniexcavators, wheel loaders, articulated dump trucks, material handlers, log loaders and attachments. With more than 150 heavy equipment dealer locations in North America, Doosan is known for an unmatched dedication to service and customer uptime, and durable, reliable products. Doosan is fast becoming a global force in heavy construction equipment. For more information on Doosan products, visit DoosanEquipment.com.

Deere Debuts Rotary Cutters, Mechanical Dozer Angle Blade John Deere updated its line of rotary cutter attachments with the new RX72 and RX84. These new models are designed for heavy-duty vegetation management applications, including property maintenance and right-of-way clearing. The rotary cutter attachments are compatible on large-frame skid steer and compact track loaders, such as the 330G through the 333G, and they are equipped with high-flow hydraulics and a severe-duty door. “These new attachments offer reliable solutions to landscapers, agricultural producers and municipal contractors that depend on John Deere equipment for land clearing or vegetation management,” said Jessica Hill, program manager, global attachments, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “The new models are designed to help our customers get the most of their investment by delivering greater performance and increased efficiency when clearing tough brush and hardwood.” The new rotary cutters offer a robust
The new rotary cutters offer a robust solution for clearing medium-to-heavy brush and hardwoods up to 10 in. (25.4 cm) in diameter.
solution for clearing medium-to-heavy brush and hardwoods up to 10 in. (25.4 cm) in diameter. Both the RX72 and RX84 include motors with a direct drive bearing for higher efficiency and extended durability, while an optimized blade carrier design allows for a fast startup and recovery time. Features include three blades made of thick forged AR400 steel measuring 0.625 in. (1.5 cm), that provide an aggressive cut and long wear life. A pressure gauge is easily visible to monitor blade load for optimal cutter performance. As with any brush-clearing application, safety is paramount. Each model incorporates a retractable forward shield that rolls back to expose the blades to
larger-diameter trees. Once material is cleared, the forward shield closes to process material more efficiently and to reduce the risk of flying debris with its heavy chain curtain. Hydraulic valving stops the blades from spinning within seconds of shutdown, providing operators and those on the job site with an additional safety feature. Each model uses a skid steer coupler attachment interface to mount to the carrier. The RX72 and RX84 cutters are powered using 0.5-in. (1.3-cm) auxiliary hydraulic quick connectors, while the RX84 also uses a 0.375-in. (.95-cm) case drain quick coupler, to help the machine with cooling and prevent damage. Hydraulic specifications include a 30 to 45 gpm (114 to 170 Lpm) flow range with a 4,000 psi (28,000 kPa) maximum operating pressure. The RX72 weighs 1,810 lbs. (820 kg), and the RX84 weighs 2,260 lbs. (1,025 kg), so rear counterweight will improve the stability of the skid steer or compact track loader. The RX72 and RX84 have cutting widths of 72 in. (183 cm) and 84 in. (213 cm), respectively.
Mechanical Angle Blades for Dozers Developed based on customer feedback, John Deere now manufactures the mechanical angle blade for the 950K and 1050K crawler dozers. The John Deere-designed mechanical angle blade can be manually angled side to side, making it ideal for a variety of jobs, including backfilling, rough grading and general earthmoving. “The new mechanical angle blades were designed based on feedback from contractors in the pipeline industry,” said Nathan Horstman, product marketing manager, crawler dozers, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Understanding the crippling impact downtime can have, we designed the John Deere mechanical blade to be stronger and more durable. From performance improvements to features that provide better serviceability, our customers can be confident when running a machine equipped with the new blade option.” The productivity-boosting three-position adjustable blade can be configured using the provided pin points on the push beams. Redesigned with an improved blade profile, the new mechanical angle blade provides better shedding of material and reduces the likelihood of blade plugging. The blade width and height have been optimized for the best performance on the Deere dozers. The approach angle on the 950K and 1050K blades has been increased 29 percent versus the previous offering. Additionally, changes to the hydraulic hose routing to the blade offer better protection against damage. The blade weight was reduced and reinvested in the C-frame, resulting in better overall weight distribution for a more balanced machine and improved durability. The Deere-designed mechanical angle blade features bushed angle pins. The angle pins are hardened and, when coupled with the heavy-duty hardened bushings in the Cframe, provide better long-term serviceability, according to the manufacturer.

Felling Showcases New Air Bi-Fold Ramps at ConExpo ConExpo-Con/AGG international exhibition is known for being the host to company’s debuting new products to their industry partners. Felling Trailers Inc. will follow suit, introducing its new air bi-fold ramps (patent pending) at this year’s show. The air bi-fold ramp system is featured on Felling’s 25-ton FT-50-3 LP, a tri-axle low profile flatbed tag trailer. Felling Trailers Inc. will be at Booth F-1741 in the Festival Grounds Lot. Few manufacturers in the marketplace offer an air bi-fold ramp system, let alone with the functionality that Felling’s offers. A key feature of Felling’s design is in the operation of the flip ramp. The flip ramp locks out fully when extending preventing scraping or marring of the ground, which is

undesirable, especially if it’s a new surface of any kind. Another key feature is Felling’ controlled flow air ramp technology, which provides for soft ground contact of the ramp, keeping new surfaces free from being damaged. The air bi-fold ramps are 45 in. wide by 11 ft. (7.5 ft. + 3.5 ft.) wood inlaid. For close to a decade, Felling Trailers has offered air ramps with available lengths of 6 ft. to 8 ft. The 11-ft. air bi-fold ramps were designed to accommodate the load angle necessary when loading cumbersome low clearance equipment such as paving equipment and directional drills. The air bi-fold ramps’ length provides the operator with a gentler, more gradual incline to provide ease in loading/unloading with its 9.5-degree load angle with the option of air ride suspension when the air is dropped. Felling Trailers’ air-ramp technology allows operators to use the tow vehicles’ onboard air system to power the ramps, eliminating the maintenance of an onboard electric/hydraulic system. Furthermore, the patent-pending technology allows for minimal ground contact when deploying/retracting the ramps to reduce damage to new pavement when loading/unloading.
Felling Model FT-50-3 LP with Air Bi-Fold Ramps • 26-ft. main deck length plus 6-ft. double incline Beavertail, Apitong decking • 45-in. wide x 11-ft. (7.5 ft. + 3.5 ft.) bi-fold air operated, Apitong inlaid ramps • Air brakes, ABS 2S/1M, Meritor WABCO (parking brakes on all axles) • 25K Ridewell oil bath axles • 55-in. spread, Ridewell 240 air ride with dump valve suspension • Air lift axle on first axle • 235/75R 17.5-in. tires on 8-bolt aluminum Alcoa Dura Brite wheels • 140,000-lb. twin two-speed jack (39,000-lb. lift capacity) Felling Trailers Inc. will be at Booth F-1741 in the Festival Grounds Lot. The Festival Grounds Lot showcases exhibitors in earth moving and material handling, hauling, lifting (aerial and cranes) and underground construction. Demonstrations of Felling’s air bi-fold ramps will be taking place in the booth throughout the duration of the show. For more information, call 800/245-2809 or visit felling.com.
Mack’s Over The Air Updates Improve Uptime for Customers Mack Trucks announced the launch of driver-activated Mack Over The Air updates, enabling customers to activate their software updates on their own schedule 24/7 while also improving uptime. Mack Over The Air, the OEM’s remote programming solution, allows remote software updates and the setting of vehicle parameters through Mack GuardDog Connect, Mack’s fully integrated telematics solution. Available beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, the new driver-activated updates eliminate the need for coordination phone calls with Mack OneCall agents, meaning most updates can be completed in less than 15 minutes. “Mack Over The Air was a game-changer, allowing for remote programming based on the customers’ schedules,” said David Pardue, vice president of connected vehicle and contract services for Mack Trucks. “Driver-activated software updates are the next evolution of this solution, giving customers even greater control over how and
when their updates occur and allowing for updates to multiple trucks at one time.” With driver-activated updates, approved fleet personnel can now initiate onboard updates through the vehicle instrument cluster. With this new feature, updates take less time and can be performed whenever and wherever it’s most convenient, 24/7. Although OneCall Agents are always available when needed, a call to them is no longer necessary for scheduling and activating updates. Customizable notifications and password protection are available as options. Also via Mack Over The Air, Mack offers Mack Parameter Plus, a package that enables customers to make up to 50 parameter updates per 12-month period on all model year 2018 and newer Mack vehicles equipped with Mack GuardDog Connect. Previously, customers were limited to just two parameter updates per year as part of their Uptime contract subscription. There is no limit for Mack-initiated software updates used to continuously enhance product per-

formance. “Mack Parameter Plus enables customers to cost effectively bundle parameter updates without interruption to their schedules while the parameters are set,” Pardue said. “Parameters can be set as long as the key is in the ignition and the truck is parked, so the customer dictates timing.”
Along with setting the maximum road speed, other parameters include the shifting of the engine into economy mode or performance mode. Mack Parameter Plus also is available for previously purchased vehicles with Mack EPA 2017 engines. For more information visit www.macktrucks.com.

SEA Electric Introduces First 100-Percent Electric Tipper Truck While the EV race in the commercial vehicle space is well and truly on, Australian automotive technology company SEA Electric is leading the charge being first to market with the deployment of a 100 percent electric tipper truck. The new electric tipper truck will be deployed in Australia at a local city council. The Yarra City Council intends to use the electric tipper for hard rubbish collections and is exploring how to transition to electric garbage and recycling trucks over the next five years. Urban city councils are particularly suited to electric commercial vehicles like this tipper truck produced by SEA Electric. “Our urban environments are becoming more and more frantic, filled with noise and pollution,� said Glen Walker, SEA Electric’s regional director Oceania. “This electric tipper reverses the trend and instils a piece of tranquillity and cleanliness.� The electric tipper is quiet, has zero emissions and saves significant costs through reduced fuel, servicing and maintenance expense. The electric tipper is built on an Isuzu NPR 65-190 platform, however future orders can be adapted to most OEM glider platforms. Powered by the SEA-Drive 100 power-system with a 100 kWh battery capacity, which produces 59 kW continuous power and 108 kW maximum power. More importantly for a commercial vehicle, the SEA-Drive 100 produces maximum torque of 1,000 Nm, has a range of up to 275 km (unladen), with onboard three-phase charger that can be charged to 80 percent within 5 hours.

Technology, Deterrence Help Prevent Theft of Equipment THEFT from page 1
“Devices can do a lot, but I think equipment owners are still underutilizing what’s available to them,” said Ryan Shepherd, director and general manager, crime analytics and supply chain solutions, of data analytics company Verisk. “Either they’re underutilizing technology, or they’re overpaying for it.” NER believes the more preventative measures an equipment company takes, the better. “We advise people to take that approach,” Shepherd continued. “If you have telematics technology, use it. If you can’t afford telematics, there are geofencing systems which are simple but do work effectively. Have company protocol or documentation in place that says, ‘This is what we do, and we’re serious about implementation and follow-thru.’” Stewardship from equipment company owners is crucial, Shepherd believes, because a lot of times theft happens internally. “An unhappy employee can see if a company owner doesn’t pay attention to his equipment. So, it’s really a matter of working with your employees as well as external sources to prevent equipment theft. It’s not always the thief who’s local to that area, or the crime of opportunity,” he explained. Who’s Tracking Hot Machines? Nearly 1,000 pieces of commercial equipment are reported stolen each month, according to The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). The annual cost of equipment theft is estimated to range between $300 million and $1 billion. Value and mobility are two factors that determine the type of equipment most likely to be stolen. NER’s Equipment Theft Report, published in 2016, notes that value is still the primary factor, except for items too large to move on a small trailer. Another factor is the number of each type of equipment in circulation: Skid steer loaders account for more than 36 percent of new construction equipment financed in the United States, according to NER. Dozers and wheel loaders are the most valuable types of equipment, but because backhoes and skid steers are easier to transport and are versatile
Construction equipment owners may not be getting the most out of their telematics and geofencing systems, or jobsite and yard cameras, all of which are solid theft-deterrents.
machines, they represent a greater percentage of thefts. NER notes that high-value wheeled machines are frequently reported stolen. Because heavy equipment like excavators, bulldozers and skid steers do not have titles, it’s easy for a sophisticated thief or criminal network to steal and claim it’s theirs — especially with doctored paperwork ready to go, said Shepherd. As a prevention and recovery service, NER maintains a database of equipment records. “We run a registration service and record the details of make, model and serial number,” he explained. NER works with local law enforcement in equipment theft investigations to identify machine ownership. The organization also works to educate local law enforcement about equipment classification. “Sometimes they don’t know a backhoe from a bulldozer, so we make sure they’re comfortable with what to look at,” Shepherd said. NER also can perform a background check for liens, previous thefts or insurance claims on a piece of equipment. But NER is not alone in tracking stolen construction equipment. Online sites, such as Stolen 911, offer users the opportunity to list stolen construction equipment which is then indexed by major search engines. After creating a post, users can easily share the information on social media, and the stolen item is searchable for five years. Equipment manufacturers also
With a strong economy, heavy equipment theft is big business all across the United States. The more preventative measures an equipment company takes, the better.
have stepped up efforts to help heavy machine owners prevent thefts. The Cat Machine Security System is Caterpillar’s solution, integrated into the machine’s electronics. It guards the starting system, engine and transmission, and only a security key can start the machine when the system is armed. Each security key is unique so machines can be restricted to certain models or hours of operation. The system also can be programmed to allow the standard key during active periods and rearm after hours. Volvo has created an integrated engine lock for its line of diggers. The lock is designed to reduce the risk of machine theft via “triggers” such as machine movement, tampering and unauthorized use or transport. It allows the user to immobilize and track the machine remotely, and alerts are sent when a trigger is activated. The machine
is immobilized when it’s shut down and can be remobilized through Volvo’s CareTrack web portal. Telematics systems are standard equipment on many new machines. Online bid management software provider iSqFt pushes use of the technology in a blog post saying, it “can act as a deterrent by shutting down the engine when thieves try to drive your equipment offsite and as a recovery tool to locate stolen machines.” Geofencing systems developed by asset management solutions companies such as Austin, Texasbased Rastrac also offer theft-prevention solutions. These systems can alert when a GPS-tagged piece of equipment leaves the construction site. The GPS tag helps the user locate and identify the equipment quickly. “Fleet tracking for construction equipment is a powerful anti-theft tool that can help improve your
odds of recovering stolen equipment intact,” said Rastrac. Security cameras that are highly visible act as a strong deterrent to would-be thieves at your construction site. Solar-powered units with battery backups allow for placement wherever they’re needed. “You typically have the option to record continuous video or take time-lapse photos at scheduled intervals,” according to iSqFt’s blog on high-tech ways to control construction site theft. Motion detection and infrared sensors, which measure changes in thermal activity, can be used to activate idle cameras and begin recording. Security cameras can be equipped with Wi-Fi or cellular communication to transmit the video or images for cloud storage or live monitoring through a web portal. With an internet-connected camera you also can get text alerts when its motion or infrared sensors have been activated. Deterrence Is Simple, But Effective The harder it is to access your site, the less likely thieves will target your equipment fleet. “For heavy equipment, wheel locks and other immobilization devices prevent them from being driven off the site or winched onto a trailer and hauled off,” iSqFt’s blog stated. Some equipment owners remain passive when it comes to theft-prevention, claiming “that’s what I have insurance for.” Shepherd said NER is working to change that mentality, reminding equipment owners that “Yes, you do have insurance for that, but it’ll affect you down the road with claims.” Practicing preventive measures rather than reacting after the equipment is stolen saves everybody in the long run. NER suggests heavy machinery owners watch for anything that looks out of place. Here are NER’s equipment crime warning signs: • Parked trucks that do not belong to the company, especially box vans, U-hauls and enclosed race-car hauler type trailers. • Vehicles parked in vacant lots adjoining closed industry businesses, especially with occupants loitering in the area. • Gates left open at shut-down see THEFT page 78

TA Associates Acquires ATG, Proxibid TA Associates, a global growth private equity firm, announced the acquisitions of Auction Technology Group (ATG), an online platform for auctions across Europe and the United States, from ECI Partners (ECI), and Proxibid, an online marketplace for connecting buyers and sellers across North America, from Primus Capital. Both ATG and Proxibid transactions closed on Feb. 13, 2020. The companies will be brought under the ATG umbrella with headquarters in London, but will retain substantial operations in Omaha, Neb., where Proxibid is headquartered. Both management teams are excited about the combination and believe that their collective resources will benefit auctioneers and bidders through increased technology investment and better auction results. As part of the transaction, ECI reinvested in the combined entity and now holds a minority stake. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed. “The auction market is at a unique point in its evolution, benefiting on one hand from transformations in online selling technology and on the other from the growing trend for buyers to seek unique and second use items,” said John-Paul Savant, CEO of Auction Technology Group. “Combining ATG and Proxibid will give us the resources to invest in better tools for auctioneers and accelerate investment in marketing, which we believe will bring a steady stream of new online bidders. The companies are a natural cultural fit, both valuing the provision of a professional experience for our auctioneer and bidder clients.” “We will accelerate investment in the online tools that
make auctioneers a preferred route for the disposal of many industrial assets. The combination also allows us to address a larger auctioneer base with our tools such as Wavebid, our auction management solution,” said Ryan Downs, CEO of Proxibid. “TA Associates is excited to bring together these two profitable and growing online businesses,” said Morgan Seigler, a managing director at TA Associates. “With their similar business models, technology and culture, as well as complementary geography and sector focus, we believe that Proxibid and ATG are an excellent match. In collaboration with ECI, we will aim to expand the businesses through both organic and acquisitive growth, and accelerated international expansion.” As part of this transaction, Seigler and Stefan Dandl, a senior vice president at TA Associates, will join the ATG board of directors. “We are thrilled to have been a partner with ATG through its growth over the past five years, and are excited to welcome TA Associates as an investor in the company,” said Tom Wrenn, a partner at ECI Partners. “Market dynamics and the expected increases in online auction penetration will provide a strong backdrop for the continued growth of ATG’s digital marketplaces. In partnership with TA and the ATG management team, we look forward to building on this market opportunity to continue ATG’s impressive growth.” For more information, visit www.auctiontechnologygroup.com, www.proxibid.com, www.ta.com and www.ecipartners.com.

industrial facilities or construction sites. • Late-night or early-morning activity inside a yard or on a construction site. • Overloaded trucks and improperly secured equipment transported during downtime. NER also offers tips for deterring heavy construction equipment theft in the yard or on the job site: • Ensure alarms and lighting are all operating properly. • Consider that a high number of false alarms could be thieves testing your responsiveness; watch for vehicles “casing” your property. • Test cameras in daylight and after dark — Are you getting usable images of license plates, faces and vehicles? • Make sure fences and gates provide a complete barrier to adjoining businesses and vacant land. Walk your fence line to be sure nothing has been tampered with. • Conduct a security survey of the yard and buildings. Walk around the property to see if there are vulnerable points of access or cover. • Move highly targeted equipment
into service bays or more secure areas of the yard. • Be sure equipment parking areas don’t provide cover to thieves. • Communicate with neighboring businesses to raise awareness of thefts in progress. Confirm that their staff has your emergency contact information. • Designate someone to check up on the facility at different times during a holiday or extended down time. • Don’t leave anything on a trailer. Secure trailers so thieves can’t use them to steal your equipment. Caterpillar dealer Warren Cat of Midland, Texas, believes it’s important to know what drives construction equipment theft. “Any piece of equipment that has a lucrative brand name, is relatively new, and can easily be loaded or driven off could be considered an easy target for theft at any given work site,” according to the company’s website. Here are other suggestions from Warren Cat: • Give each vehicle a recognizable indicator. Stamp or engrave identifiers such as names, symbols or digits on each piece of heavy equipment at your work site. Apply an identifier to each
part that could be sold separately on the black market. • Keep records of all equipment. File the make, model, PIN, serial number and production and purchase dates of each unit or component part. Keep photo files of everything in your fleet for identification. • Take notice of equipment theft trends. Be especially protective of the types of items that are commonly targeted by thieves. • Secure your fleet from intrusion. Before the site shuts down each evening, have all the vehicles parked facing into a circle, with smaller pieces of equipment placed in the middle. • Keep employees up to date on corporate security practices. At the end of each shift, operators should log each machine used and park all machines securely. Each operator should also be aware of the unique identifiers on identical vehicles. “None of the systems and devices should be used as your sole means of preventing theft,” iSqFt noted. “A solid security plan should involve multiple layers of theft deterrents and measures.” CEG

Rebuild Extends Life of Louisiana’s Vernon Lake Dam DAM from page 12
“Near the completion of the plans for repairs, over 15 inches of precipitation occurred in three weeks,” Erickson said. “This saturated the embankment and resulted in the downstream slide lengthening. This required the embankment to be resurveyed and new plans developed.” The expected lifespan of the infrastructure, with the repairs, is 50 years. The dam was originally constructed in 1961. For work to proceed safely, the water surface had to be lowered 20 ft. below pool stage (elevation 225 ft.), at a minimum. Alsey Lachney, Merrick Construction’s project manager, has overseen similar projects and put a considerable effort into planning the schedule and benchmarks. “The material was excavated by tractors with scrapers and excavators,” Lachney said. “The depth of the cut was a challenge — it was a big levee and it was steep getting in and out. The rain also affected work for a couple of days.” The approach channel repairs dealt with filling in holes. “There was a fairly large hole that had been scoured out from the high water, and the hole was full of water that had to be pumped out,” Lachney explained. “We filled it up with embankment material that was removed from the slide. It was a challenge because the channel had a lot of seepage coming up from the sand. The material was saturated, you could barely walk on there, and the equipment had a tough time getting in and out, but we did fix it.” The spillway work went according to plan, finishing up in early February. Much of this work involved concrete patching and dealing with spalls. “There were a lot of spalls, which was flaking the concrete spillway,” Lachney said. “We sawcut out sections — 2 to 3 inches deep, chipped them down and poured material back in.” The only subcontractor was Coastal Highway Erosion Control, which was brought in for the final seeding of the matting. Peak days saw close to 15 Merrick employees on site, including excavator, dozer and truck operators, and several laborers. Five people were engaged in the excavation/dirt work and 10 for the spillway repairs. Approximately 17,000 cu. yds. of material was excavated from the levee and 27,000 cu. yds. was brought in, and 82 sq. yds. of concrete was brought in for the patching. Equipment utilized by crewmembers included a large Komatsu excavator, a large Komatsu dozer, a John Deere tractor and scraper, a Case tractor and scraper, a Cat pad roller and a John Deere tractor with discs. “When you work in the bottom of the channel scour area, there’s a lot of sand and it grinds the metal — this was one of the biggest wear and tear issues,” Lachney stated. “We have a good maintenance program, and no major repairs occurred during the construction process.” The firm purchases and rents equipment from Louisiana Cat, H&E Equipment Services, Scott Equipment and Bottom Line Equipment.

The Workforce Solutions Area invites the ConExpo-Con/AGG show attendees and exhibitors — along with association members, job seekers and local students — to experience a trade right on the show floor. In addition, participants will learn about the industry and take away best practice ideas from what will be an interactive workforce pavilion. “It’s critical for the equipment manufacturing industry and the construction market it serves to do what it takes to engage the workforce of tomorrow to consider embarking on a career in the skilled trades,” said AEM Director of Workforce Development Julie Davis. “Our Workforce

DEMING LOGGING SHOW 2020 DATES: JUNE 13 – 14, 2020 PLACE: DEMING LOGGING SHOW GROUNDS BELLINGHAM, WA, USA Deming Log Show is a nonprofit organization benefiting busted up loggers and their families. Home to the Annual Deming Logging Show, and other events. Originally established in 1963, our show was inspired by the need to financially assist loggers who were injured in the woods. Our grounds come alive the second full weekend in June each year for our annual Deming Logging Show with events and exhibitions to display the skills, tools, and technology used in the logging industry. A nonprofit organization, the Deming Logging Show relies on the support of local people, businesses and volunteers to support families of loggers who have been injured or killed on the job. Deming Logging Show is going to be organized at Deming Logging Show Grounds, Bellingham, WA, USA from June 13, 2020 to June 14, 2020. This expo is going to be a two-day event. This event forays into categories like Business Services. The Forestry Industry fosters hazards for the workers. A worker needs to have the best of skills to survive in such an industry. Deming Logging Show is that event which inculcates these skills in these workers. This Expo features exhibitors exhibiting the products and gear which is used by the loggers and the ones who work in the nearby forests. Along with this, the event also financially assists the loggers and workers who were injured on their jobs, or worse, killed. Deming Logging Show is run by a nonprofit organization. The registration fee which the attendees pay is minimal and every year, this event manages to attract the attention of about 5,000 visitors. For more information on the Deming Loggins Show 2020, contact Deming Logging Show Grounds, 3295 Cedarville Road, Bellingham, WA 98226. Phone: 360/592-2423.
