Work Begins On $76.8M Upgrade of Wythe Creek Road in Va. Beginning March 18, building crews with the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) started construction on a roadway improvement effort encompassing a portion of Wythe Creek Road/Virginia Highway 172 in Hampton and Poquoson in the southeastern part of the state.

The overall estimated cost of the road and bridge project is $78.6 million, with $53.8 million to be spent on its construction.

Officials with VDOT’s Hampton Roads District office said the primary purpose of the project is to raise the existing causeway elevation over Wythe Creek for emergency evacuation and to widen the roadway, causeway and bridge to accommodate future traffic volumes.

In Poquoson, an 8-ft.-wide sidewalk will be constructed on the east side of Wythe Creek Road, along with a 5-ft.wide walkway on its west side, from the Cary’s Chapel Road intersection to the northern project limit of the project approximately 2,000 ft. south of Victory Boulevard. The existing two lanes will be retained north of Cary’s Chapel in Poquoson.

The Hampton portion of the work includes widening Wythe Creek Road to three lanes, installing curbs and gutters, and adding a 10-ft. sidewalk to the east side of the expanded roadway.

Once completed, the project also will have provided a three-lane reversible roadway in Hampton, with two lanes being operated in the southbound direction during the morning rush hours, and two lanes in the northbound direction during the afternoon commute. In the off-peak traffic hours, the center lane will operate as a two-way center left turn lane,

according to VDOT. Reversible traffic lanes add capacity to a road and decrease congestion by borrowing capacity from the other direction, described the transportation agency. Reversing lanes also reduce congestion during morning and evening commutes, when there is an incident blocking a lane of traffic, or when construction or maintenance is being done on the road.

Wythe Creek Road’s reversible lanes in Hampton will use a combination of static signs, dynamic message signs, dynamic lane use control signals and pavement markings.

By employing a combination of these traffic control devices, VDOT said drivers will stay informed which lanes are open

or closed for their given direction of travel.

Other planned improvements along the north-south roadway include: • Construction of a new and higher 1,545-ft.-long bridge over the Northwest Branch Back River between Poquoson and Hampton to bring Wythe Creek Road’s elevation above the 100-year flood plan to ensure safe evacuation during tidal events.

• Installation of a new signal at the intersection of Cary’s Chapel Road and modification of the existing signals at the Voyager Drive and Langley Boulevard intersections.

• Repurposing the existing roadway over the causeway to a sidewalk/multi-use path to provide continuous pedestrian access within the project area.

• Installation of additional street lighting and improved roadway drainage throughout the corridor.

VDOT also noted that the average daily traffic count along Wythe Creek Road is approximately 16,000 vehicles per day.

The $53.8 million construction contract was awarded to Toano, Va.-based Bryant Structures Inc. in late February.

Construction is estimated to be complete as early as the autumn of 2027. All work is weather- and schedule-dependent; therefore, this schedule is subject to change.

VDOT added that during construction, motorists may encounter traffic shifts and lane closures on Wythe Creek Road and Cary’s Chapel Road, but access to all businesses and residential properties will be maintained at all times.

Additionally, marine access on Northwest Branch Back River also will remain open. 

Northrop Grumman...

Officials Break Ground On $200M Factory in Waynesboro, Va. Northrop Grumman CEO/President Kathy Warden said the empty 63-acre site in Waynesboro, Va., on which the company broke ground Feb. 3 will “be transformed into a vibrant factory by 2025 with hundreds of jobs.”

Warden, other Northrop Grumman officials, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and Waynesboro leaders all shivered in the cold while celebrating the official start of construction on the advanced electronics and manufacturing facility the defense contractor is building on the site in Augusta County west of Charlottesville.

In addition to Northrop Grumman’s investment of more than $200 million in factory construction and equipment on Shenandoah Village Drive behind the Waynesboro Town Center, the News Virginian reported the factory will provide more than 300 jobs paying an average of $94,000. Those positions will be gradually phased in after construction is finished in 2025.

Warden said the company would create “tech-ready employees” to work at the facility. Noting that Northrop Grumman is headquartered in Falls Church and already has

nearly 7,000 employees in the state, she added, “We have bet on Virginia and will continue to bet on Virginia.”

The company did not provide specific answers to questions by the News Virginian as to why it chose Waynesboro for the manufacturing plant.

However, Waynesboro Economic Development and Tourism Director Greg Hitchin has said his contacts with the company hinged on finding a site with correct zoning, transportation, and utilities.

Youngkin noted that after the 314,000-sq.ft. facility is finished next year, production would start in 2026.

Factory Adds to Waynesboro’s Rich Industrial Legacy According to Hitchin, the 15-month trajectory of finalizing a deal with Northrop Grumman included significant effort from several Waynesboro city departments and the help of local real estate professionals.

Other factors included rezoning the factory site from highway business to industrial and a GO Virginia grant to help prepare the parcel of land for development.

Additionally, a new access road to the

plant funded by a Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) grant will be finished in 2025 as well, Hitchens told the Waynesboro news source.

Terry Short, a member of the Waynesboro City Council, said the location of Northrop Grumman in the area is just part of the “city’s DNA” which includes a rich industrial legacy. The city’s industrial history dates back nearly a century to when DuPont opened a large manufacturing plant downtown, followed by other industries such as General Electric.

In recent years, Waynesboro has depended more on the opening of big box retailers close to where the Northrop Grumman facility is set to be constructed.

Short also lauded the defense contractor for choosing a strategic location off Interstate 64 and in a strong labor market.

Waynesboro Mayor Lana Williams expressed appreciation for “the confidence Northrop Grumman has placed in our city.”

Waynesboro Area Both Rural, Dynamic For its part, the state is providing the company with a Commonwealth’s Opportunity

Fund grant of $8.5 million, which is tied to Northrop Grumman meeting certain performance measures. A reimbursement of another $8.5 million in Waynesboro taxes to the manufacturer over the plant’s first decade is also bound to the company’s performance agreement with the city.

The state’s higher education institutions are also likely to be involved in training Northrop Grumman Waynesboro employees.

For instance, Blue Ridge Community College in nearby Weyers Cave is one of the schools expected to help train the plant’s employees through its manufacturing and electronics technology programs, according to college President John Downey.

In his remarks at the groundbreaking, Youngkin said the state’s population trends favor more people wanting to settle in rural Virginia “where they can live, work and raise a family,” while adding that Northrup Grumman will be offering “300 high-paying, extraordinary jobs.”

The governor said there has been a renaissance in Virginia job creation during his first two years in office — so much so that the state now ranks third in the nation in that metric. 

To get the equipment it needs to do jobs like the Rincon industrial park project, Pintail has come to rely on the Savannah branch of Hills Machinery.

Ga. Contractor Grows With Help From Hills Machinery, Hitachi

By Eric Olson

company specializes in design, planning, project management, site preparation and construction. The firm sports a management team made up of one veteran and two youthful building professionals.

Zachary Sforzo, who serves as both a project manager and minority owner of Pintail, said his company does site preparatory and underground utility work, “meaning we do everything up to where the concrete floor is. We don’t do any vertical construction.”

At the Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub in December, Pintail worked on a warehouse pad that encompassed approximately 1 million sq. ft. The total amount of earth he and his crew were moving added up to between 100,000 and 200,000 cu. yds. of material, with the pad alone totaling about 86,000 cu. yds.

“We dug the two retention ponds in the front of the property first, which produced thousands of cubic yards of dirt that we then used to build that pad,” Sforzo said. “There are actually three ponds, but the largest one in the front generated the most material to build the pad. Another pond was excavated in the back corner of the property.”

Pintail also built up the pad’s surrounding areas to serve as the truck courts and parking lots for that future warehouse, in

addition to constructing all the wide avenues at the site.

“We are building the access roads now,” one of which he said will go from McCall Road, which runs south and west of the town, “and we are getting ready to pave past one of the two train tracks [owned by CSX and Norfolk Southern].

Plus, there is another access road we are working on that will lead into the warehouse property to end at a cul-de-sac, and a roundabout will be installed.”

Although Sforzo and Pintail are working to prepare 85 acres of the industrial park, he added that the total amount of land to be developed is closer to 3,000 acres — all in support of the Hyundai EV factory.

“As it continues to develop, we will do more and more work here in Rincon,” Sforzo added.

Headquartered in Charleston, Hills Machinery has multiple dealerships across the two Carolinas and Virginia, but its Savannah location (seen here) is one of its newest.

Pintail Site Preparation’s latest purchase from Hills was a Hitachi ZW180-6 wheel loader.

CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

With the construction of a $7.6 billion Hyundai electric vehicle and battery production plant now under way near Savannah, Ga., its top-tier component suppliers have also begun to look for both manufacturing and warehouse space to support the automaker’s effort.

That has led to a new interest in nearby rural industrial parks set on large tracts of land with good road and rail line connections relatively close to the massive Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant, growing daily in the Bryan County town of Ellabell.

Several parks fit the bill, but one of the best positioned appears to be the Savannah Gateway Industrial Hub in the Effingham County town of Rincon, northeast of Savannah, and approximately 30 minutes north of the Hyundai project.

On Rincon’s south side, crews with Pintail Site Preparation LLC have been working on site since November 2022 to excavate and prep approximately 85 acres of raw land at the industrial park to create warehouse pads for one of Hyundai’s suppliers.

In business for four years, the Savannah-based contracting

Opportunity Knocks, Pintail Answers Pintail Site Preparation was started in February 2020 by Kevin Jackson Jr., Ellis Skinner and Sforzo after each principal had gained experience working for other contractors.

Jackson, Pintail’s majority owner, and Sforzo both worked for an environmental and industrial cleaning service in Savannah, while Skinner already had a 25-year career in see PINTAIL page 58

Linder Industrial Machinery Co. Hosts Ribbon Cutting to

L

inder Industrial Machinery Co. recently unveiled a new facility in Greensboro, N.C., to service its customers’ machines in the fast-growing Triad area of the state, anchored by the cities of Winston-Salem, Greensboro and High Point.

According to John Coughlin, Linder’s president and chief executive officer, the construction and agricultural machine distributor had operated a parts branch in High Point and a Kubota dealership in Burlington before relocating both to a more centralized facility off Interstate 40 in Greensboro.

“It consists of a 33,000-square-foot, eight-bay shop and a very expansive parts department,” he said. “The service area also has a state-of-the-art wash system and lube system — everything that allows us to get equipment in and out so we can keep our customers up and running without delays.”

Coughlin calls the new facility a “hybrid branch” as it services not only Komatsu construction equipment, but Linder’s line of Kubota tractors, geared more toward the dealership’s agricultural customer base and sold through Linder Turf & Tractor, which maintains its own distributorship.

“In one of our typical single bays, you could fit about six Kubota units or a very large Komatsu machine,” he said. “We have oversized doors at the Greensboro branch that lets us bring in quarry and mining equipment, for instance, on the Komatsu side of the shop.”

Linder Industrial Machinery had many machines on display for the customers to look over. (L-R) are Gabe Liebetreu and Vearl Collins, both of Built Rite Attachments; and Antoine, Trartin and Tyson Ratliff of ATM Lawncare in Burlington, N.C.

Lee Doss of Leoterra Development in Kernersville, N.C., won a fantastic door prize of a round of golf for four people at Grandover Resort in Greensboro. Presenting it is Kate Bell of Linder Industrial Machinery.

(L-R) are Chris Russell and Michael Moore, both of Linder Industrial Machinery; Giavanna Moore, seventh grader at the Cannon School in Concord, N.C.; and Steven and Scott Perkins of Ace Avant in Archdale, N.C.

(L-R) are John Coughlin, president and CEO of Linder Industrial Machinery; Mike Horne, Keith Gay and Jay Harrell, all of Southern Tractor & Outdoors (recently acquired by Linder), a top-performing Kubota dealer with locations in Valdosta, Moultrie and Leesburg; and Robie Kendrick of Kubota.

Andrew Stickl (L) of Linder Industrial Machinery and Eric Long of Delta Contracting in Haw River, N.C., shake on the final sale price of a Kubota excavator and compact track loader.

Linder Industrial Machinery also is a top-performing Kubota dealer and keeps many of the popular excavators on hand ready for its customers’ needs.

Pat and Coleen Jorgensen of Team Trucking & Grading purchased this pair of Komatsu dozers at the event.

it takes between when the unit is dropped off to be cleaned, taken apart, diagnosed and reassembled, to when it is returned to the customer. We have been able to do that with the tooling, the overhead cranes and the speedy wash and lube systems that we have on hand in the shop bays.”

Linder also has made a big investment in offering Kubota products, in addition to announcing in February that Deutz-Fahr, a European line of agricultural tractors, will make its debut in Linder’s showrooms across the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida beginning April 1.

“Our true direction with Kubota and our newest line of Deutz-Fahr tractors is to support the agricultural market, but there are also complementary tools that go along with these products in the construction world,” Coughlin said.

“Kubota has compact construction equipment that works well on utility projects and Deutz-Fahr has front loaders and its tractors can pull soil stabilizers and pans to move soil from one location to the next. It is a universal machine that you see on a lot of construction sites.”  CEG

Dobbs Equipment Holds Grand Opening in Melbourne, Fla.

D

obbs Equipment held a two-day open house March 21 and 22, 2024, to commemorate the grand opening of its new Melbourne, Fla., branch facility.

A steady crowd made it through the event both days and enjoyed some great Dobbs hospitality including a BBQ lunch, prizes, giveaways, facility tours and more.

Many of Dobbs vendor-partners turned out to support and assist with displays of products and services available through this location.

Guests had “free roam” of the facility and were able to enjoy some time with their Dobbs sales, parts and service representatives.

The location includes an in-house track press area and a completely enclosed wash bay with water filtration system (a rare building feature in south and central Florida).

The branch is positioned on a 7-acre I-95 frontage footprint. The building encompasses more than 22,000 sq. ft. under roof with more than 10,000 sq. ft. dedicated to the shop area.

The product support functions are supported by 10 full-service bays with multiple overhead cranes and well-stocked parts area. Six field service trucks are dispatched from this location.

(L-R): Dobbs Melbourne Branch Service Manager Andrew Lebl welcomes Deere customers David Hawkins and Kasey Caudill of Cypress Gulf Inc., Sanford, Fla. Dobbs staff members who performed the official ribbon-cutting to commemorate the opening of the branch facility (L-R) included Andrew Lebl, service manager; Brian Helm, account manager; Matt Essig, president, Florida; Michael Abjornson, regional sales manager; Ryan Ponder, parts manager; and Roger Croft, general manager.

see DOBBS page 56

Guests rolled in for two days to see the new facility, enjoy some lunch and “spin the wheel” and register for some great prize giveaways.

Wirtgen Group was well represented with an array of machines on display on the equipment yard for the crushing, paving and compaction market segment.

Dobbs and Deere representatives talk about the impressive look and capabilities of the new branch.

Tom McGill (L) and Drew Christensen, Dobbs Equipment-Cemen Tech product managers/specialists, were proud to show off their impressive customwrapped C60 Cemen Tech volumetric concrete mixer truck.

An impressive spread of equipment and product support displays marked the event.

A rare building feature in Florida is this completely enclosed wash bay with water filtration system.

Representatives from Titan Paving, based in Orlando, stopped by for lunch and to see their Dobbs representatives.

(L-R) are Andrew Lebl, Dobbs Equipment; Bruce Morrissette, Titan Paving; Steve “Boggie” Brown, Dobbs Equipment; and Chad Childs, Titan Paving.

Terrain, Environmental Issues Challenge Crews in N.C. NCDOT from page 1

mph, consistent with the Appalachian Development Highway System criteria, and in a manner that is sensitive to the natural environment.”

According to Dockery, Corridor K is a major infrastructure upgrade for the residents and visitors to a rugged and rural section of western North Carolina. The existing twolane highway is outdated and narrow, with sharp curves and steep elevation changes.

“These improvements will provide residents with better access to education, health care, commercial centers and job opportunities that the existing roads currently hamper.

“Currently, there are only two ways to drive between Almond and Topton. Both are two-lane highways — this is one and the other is on the two-lane U.S. 74 through the Nantahala Gorge. In fact, only four paved roads provide access to Graham County.”

Physical needs are related to the limited roadway options in Graham and Cherokee Counties and how reliability can be affected by any type of blockage or disruption, including winter weather, fog, washouts, landslides, fallen trees, traffic incidents, breakdowns or slow-moving vehicles.

“Such situations adversely affect travel time as travelers must wait or backtrack,” Dockery explained. “Steep grades, narrow lane widths and sharp curves on U.S. 129, N.C. 143 and N.C. 28 affect travel speed and opportunities to pass slower vehicles. In addition, there are sections of U.S. 129 and N.C. 143 where traffic volumes will be over-capacity in 2040.”

The project is part of Corridor K of the Appalachian Development Highway System, which is a network of road corridors that Congress established in 1965 to provide a safe, efficient transportation system for the Appalachian Region.

Corridor K extends from Dillsboro in Jackson County to I75 in Cleveland, Tenn. The project is located in southwestern North Carolina near the Tennessee and Georgia borders.

Given the challenges associated with the region’s mountainous terrain and the presence of natural and cultural features, the proposed project is among the last of the Appalachian Development Highway System’s corridors to be completed.

Dockery noted that environmental constraints contribute to what’s been described as a difficult construction operation.

“We are rigorous in our attention to every detail in the environmental documents. We take pride in our care for the natural environment before, during and after construction.

“After the public meetings in 2019, field biologists, geologists, engineers, architectural historians and archaeologists conducted field surveys for use during the NEPA process.

These studies included protected species evaluations, stream and wetland delineations, visual impact assessment, air and noise studies and cultural resource surveys. After field surveys were completed, alignments were refined to avoid and minimize impacts to environmental resources. Other measures, such as retaining walls and slope adjustments were evaluated to further reduce impacts.”

To improve road alignments of U.S. 129, N.C. 143 and N.C. 28 between U.S. 129 south of Robbinsville and the existing four-lane section of N.C. 28 in Stecoah, the design calls for improving vertical and horizontal curvatures along the routes, plus wider lanes with paved shoulders and climbing lanes. The lane width will increase to 12-ft. and the shoulder increases to 10-ft.

The project also includes construction of a bridge across N.C. 143 at Stecoah Gap. “This is a land bridge constructed using CON/SPAN to provide safe passage for hikers and wildlife. It will be covered with dirt, boulders, rocks, trees, shrubs and additional vegetation to blend it as much as possible with the surrounding landscape. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail [ANST) will remain open for hikers who will walk a few feet through a fenced trail detour at times during construction. The current crossing of the ANST is at-grade and in a vertical curve. Hikers basically descend off the wooded slope onto the narrow two-lane highway in a blind curve.” see NCDOT page 54

The narrow and mountainous terrain and associated environmental constraints are major concerns.

Improvements to the 12-mi. portion of Corridor K between Robbinsville and Stecoah began in November 2022, with the awarded sections expected to be completed by August 2026.

ABC: Construction Job Openings Remain Up at 413,000 in January The construction industry had 413,000 job openings on the last day of January, according to an Associated Builders and Contractors analysis of data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. JOLTS defines a job opening as any unfilled position for which an employer is actively recruiting.

Industry job openings decreased by 21,000 last month but are up by 120,000 from the same time last year.

“The number of construction industry job openings remained elevated in January,” said ABC Chief Economist Anirban Basu.

“Yet there were signs of potential softening demand for construction workers. January saw the lowest rate of construction workers quitting and the highest rate of layoffs and discharges

since March 2023. Fortunately, this likely reflects the temporary effects of frigid weather on the industry rather than any broader slowing of construction activity.

“A majority of contractors expect to increase their staffing levels over the next six months, according to ABC’s Construction Confidence Index, a sign that the demand for workers should remain strong through at least the first half of the year.”

Prep Work Begins to Replace Virginia’s Norris Bridge At 67 years old, the Robert O. Norris Jr. Memorial Bridge has been spanning the Rappahannock River for the lifetimes of many Virginians while nearing the end of its own useful life.

Its nearly $400 million replacement is now included in the 50-year Long-Term Plan approved by the state’s Commonwealth Transportation Board.

Although building a new bridge at the site just northeast of the mouth of the Rappahannock is not scheduled to begin until 2036, preliminary work on the project is already under way by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), according to a March 14 story by Urbanna, Va.’s Southside Sentinel.

Those preparatory activities were outlined by Annette Adams, VDOT’s Fredericksburg District bridge engineer, at a Lancaster County Board of Supervisors meeting in late February.

In her presentation, she said the site assessment plan, which focuses on constructability as well as the type and location of the proposed bridge, is ongoing and would be finished later this spring.

In addition, the geotechnical review, which looks at the ground and riverbed where the bridge piers will be constructed, along with the National Environmental Policy Act review, also are in progress.

Adams added that the geotechnical review is slated for completion this fall.

A public hearing also will be conducted to present the environmental results either at the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.

At 1.9 mi. in length, the current two-lane Norris Bridge carries Virginia Highway 3 traffic over a wide channel of the Rappahannock River between Lancaster and Middlesex counties. Additionally, its vertical clearance in the channel for marine traffic is 110 ft.

First opened in 1957, the span today sees an average of 7,560 vehicles cross the river each day, according to VDOT. Beyond getting a more modern bridge over the wide river, a replacement will maintain a direct connection for area residents between the eastern ends of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula west of Chesapeake Bay. Without a new structure, the Downing Bridge is the nearest available crossing, roughly 30 mi. to the northwest in the Tappahannock area.

While the exact design of the proposed replacement bridge has yet to be determined, the Sentinel noted, it would incorporate updated minimum standards, including increasing the width of the two travel lanes from 11 ft. to 12 ft., adding 4-ft.-wide shoulders, and increasing the height of the railings from 32 in. to 42 in.

The new construction also would accommodate the weights of every type of vehicle; the Norris Bridge has a 45ton weight limit.

Survey work and site assessment has been completed ahead of the bridge replacement and Adams said that maintenance on the Norris Bridge is ongoing.

Since 1993, the structure’s condition has been rated as being “fair” with a score of five on a zero to nine national bridge inspection scale, she added.

“The bridge is inspected on an annual cycle for critical

elements, which is why you see us out there every year,” Adams told county supervisors. “We’re inspecting the entire bridge every two years — the critical elements plus the rest of the structure.”

In addition to recently completed routine repairs, the VDOT engineer said spot structural steel repairs would be made toward the end of the year and into the next. Pile jacket repairs also would be done as needed.

During the February presentation by VDOT, Lancaster County District 3 Supervisor Jason Bellows said the bridge “is our front door and we spent a lot of effort and money to protect this against potential destruction by large towers next to it, so maintaining critical elements for boating in the new design is really important to us.”

His colleague, county Administrator Don Gill, reminded Adams that Lancaster supervisors had expressed interest in retaining part of the old bridge for use as a public fishing pier as well as maintaining the 110-ft. vertical clearance in the replacement bridge.

Funding to replace the Norris Bridge was confirmed by the Commonwealth Transportation Board in 2021 when it voted to approve the Special Structures 50-Year Long-Term Plan.

Virginia’s Six-Year Improvement Program for Fiscal Year 2023-2028, through the Special Structures allocations, included $9.9 million for preliminary engineering work necessary for the bridge replacement. As a supplement, an additional $5 million for preliminary engineering activities also was included in the state budget. 

Mecalac Unveils New Tiltrotators to North American Market Mecalac, a global designer, manufacturer and distributor of compact construction equipment for urban environments, introduced its MR50 and MR60 tiltrotators to the North American market.

The MR50 tiltrotator is available as an option for the 9MWR and 11MWR wheeled excavators and the 10MCR crawler-skid excavator. The MR60 tiltrotator is available for the 15MWR wheeled excavator and 15MC crawler excavator.

Both tiltrotators come equipped with the twin CONNECT coupling system for the utmost compatibility with other Mecalac work tools.

Known for their versatility, 360-degree compactness and innovative features, Mecalac excavators fitted with the new tiltrotators provide even greater jobsite productivity and finesse for utility, landscaping, sewer and water and a host of other applications, the manufacturer said.

The unique design of Mecalac’s fully integrated tiltrotator system is the latest generation of the company’s productivity-enhancing features. The system includes a tiltrotator fitted between two CONNECT quick couplers along with a grading bucket specially designed to match the machine and system.

The Mecalac MR50 and MR60 tiltrotators allow for 360-degree rotation in both directions as well as a 40-degree tilt left and right for various attachments, including hydromechanical tools such as grapples. The integration between the two quick couplers makes it possible to detach the tiltrotator when it’s not needed — for digging and lifting, for instance — and immediately resume work with another attachment, such as a loader bucket.

Another advantage is that the Mecalac tiltrotator, while extremely robust and among the most powerful in terms of torque, also is one of the lightest on the market, thus preserving the power of the machine, according to the manufacturer.

The Mecalac MR50 and MR60 Tiltrotators allow for a 360degree rotation in both directions as well as a 40-degree tilt left and right for various attachments.

“Placing a Mecalac tiltrotator between two CONNECT quick couplers is an innovative solution that further enhances the versatility and productivity Mecalac excavators are known for,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager of Mecalac North America.

“Thanks to this new mounting, the operator can easily remove either the tool or the entire tiltrotator system to immediately resume work with a 4-in-1 or standard loader bucket.”

Mecalac wheeled excavators are an ideal partner for the tiltrotator for grading, shaping and placing materials. Mecalac positions the boom further back along the cab to act as a counterweight, providing optimal balance when weight is added to the end of the stick.

The two-piece boom with offset kinematics

allows the operator to position tools more precisely when used with the tiltrotator. The standard offset at the top of the boom, combined with the tiltrotator, further increases the 360-degree capabilities of Mecalac excavators. Operators can dig trenches parallel to and outside of the machine’s tracks, and the Mecalac tiltrotators add an extra dimension to the excavator’s unique capabilities — almost like having a human hand at the end of the boom.

The combination offers almost infinite possibilities and means safer, faster work, more accurate results and less machine repositioning, according to the manufacturer.

The Mecalac MR50 and MR60 tiltrotator options include dedicated multi-function

joysticks, various tiltrotator configurations and settings as well as “Home” — return to operator preset position — and “Bucket Shake” — or pulse — functions to ensure material spreads evenly and quickly. To further meet the needs of customers, the Mecalac tiltrotators are available with or without a grab module. Acting as a gripper, the module allows objects to be grabbed and moved while keeping the tool mounted on the tiltrotator.

In the future, the Mecalac tiltrotators will be introduced for the 8MCR crawler skid excavator, followed by the 12MTX wheeled excavator loader. Mecalac tiltrotators come with a two-year manufacturer’s warranty.

FAE Continues to Expand Its Lineup of Attachments

In the last few years FAE has been expanding its construction attachment line, taking the industry knowledge and understanding gained through the success of its PTO units and transferring it over to the hydraulic line.

In the last few years FAE has been expanding its construction attachment line, taking the industry knowledge and understanding gained through the success of its PTO units and transferring it over to the hydraulic line.

This line includes such attachments as cold planers for skid steers, cold planers for excavators and a wheel saw for skid steers.

“The experience has been there for years, so all that was needed was to transfer that experience into the hydraulic version,” said FAE Group President Diego Scanzoni. “We saw the opportunities in the hydraulic construction attachment space thanks to the broad experience and success we have had with the PTO lines.

“The equipment is essentially proven and solid. Our next step is to work on building brand recognition on the hydraulic side of the market.

“We have done numerous successful demos and have showcased the new products at trade shows across America and the rest of the world. We have trained our product specialists and sales team, and we are now starting to harvest the results of our high-quality product. We have designed and developed the product to have several competitive advantages.

For example, Scanzoni explained that FAE’s rock wheel machines have optimized side-output, removing material from the trench, and giving users true depth.

This saves time, as it removes the need to clean out a trench after the pass has been completed. FAE Product Manager Lee Smith explained that FAE’s unique rotor design and tooth layout allow FAE road planers to penetrate more easily, maintaining the desired depth and producing a finer product. FAE augments this design with multiple water tank options which reduce wear and prevent teeth from overheating.

John Deluca of A. Deluca Paving explained that FAE road planers cut deeper, and, as a result, jobs require fewer passes, saving users time and money. “[With FAE road planers] you can even cut sometimes in one pass. They’re built stronger and they’re heavier to begin with. So that way you have your weight right on where you need it . . . to keep the machine inside the cut.”

Jeremy Ciehanoski of Crossroads Asphalt Recycling, said, “Once we got [the RPL/SSL] dialed in, we haven’t had the bog downs and the drum stoppings that we’ve had in the past with other units. There’s definitely been some time saving on this unit itself . . . it’s definitely more efficient than what we’ve had in the past.”

Of FAE’s water spray system, he said, “That is nice because it’s all self-contained . . . that tank is actually built into the frame, so you don’t have to worry about the guys and equipment around [it] compromising the tank.

That is a nice feature that it’s all built into the unit and protected very well.”

As FAE’s road planer line expands, it continues to organize trainings and demos with valued dealers across America and the world. 

Work Truck Week 2024 Breaks Attendance Record in Indy

W

ork Truck Week continues to grow. A verified 15,790 industry professionals from 29 countries and all 50 U.S. states gathered March 5 to 8 at Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis for Work Truck Week 2024, breaking last year’s attendance record of 14,885. Work Truck Show exhibit space was sold out, with 536 companies filling the exhibit hall and New Exhibitor Pavilion with the latest commercial vehicles, equipment and technology.

Work Truck Week is more than a trade show. Produced annually by NTEA the Work Truck Association, it encompasses the Work Truck Show, Green Truck Summit, NTEA Annual Meeting, Work Truck Week Ride and Drive, educational sessions and more. North America’s largest work truck event was held virtually in 2021 and has been growing steadily since returning to Indianapolis in 2022.

“Work Truck Week 2024 was more than a trade show — it was a complete commercial vehicle experience,” said Steve Carey,

NTEA president and CEO. “You could feel the energy throughout the exhibit hall, educational sessions, Ride and Drive and even just walking from place to place. The commercial vehicle industry has taken ownership of the week and has made it the epicenter for showing off the best the industry has to offer every year. The dedication and passion of our exhibitors and attendees has driven the continued expansion of Work Truck Week.”

Work Truck Week 2024 kicked off with Green Truck Summit, NTEA’s full-day advanced vehicle and fuel technology conference on March 5. A verified 883 participants attended sessions focused on the commercial vehicle industry’s drive toward greater sustainability, productivity and efficiency. Also starting on March 5, the Work Truck Week 2024 educational program included a range of sessions focused on ideas and strategies to help improve efficiency, implement best practices and enhance operational growth.

Dubuque, Iowa’s Kait Burds took home top honors at Caterpillar’s first Women in Construction Celebration, March 13-14 in Clayton, N.C. Burds successfully demonstrated her advanced machine operator skills by maneuvering difficult work site challenges in record time with extreme precision.

Burds was one of 18 women — representing Cat dealers throughout the Americas — who gathered at Caterpillar’s Edward J. Rapp Customer & Training Center to compete in the state-of-the-art skills tests, learn about the latest industry trends and network with peers.

“I feel really good; the competition was pretty stiff. It’s good affirmation of the hard work I put into my career,” said Burds. “I hope this event gives women in construction more exposure and gives them the confidence to go out and do things that scare them.”

The skills tests included expertise in the following areas: • Small Wheel Loader: Move material through the course to achieve 7.0 -7.5 tons; then change to forks and use them to move a pallet.

• Compact Track Loader: Navigate an obstacle course using multiple machine functions.

• Small Hydraulic Excavator: Load truck to achieve 10.0-tons payload.

Along with the tests, the competitors participated in a panel discussion where they shared best practices, discussed managing a successful career in a male-dominated industry and talked about the importance of recruiting more female operators and technicians into the workforce.

“The event is a celebration of female machine operators who build our world, advocate and drive awareness for their trade, and highlight solutions that address jobsite needs,” said Caterpillar marketing manager Chrissy Metz.

“Each competitor demonstrates advanced abilities operating the latest Cat construction machines and technologies, showing the world the invaluable role women play in the construction industry.”

(L-R): Azaria Biven, Kait Burds and Kenzi Tackett were award winners at Caterpillar’s first Women in Construction Celebration.

Renowned Air Force fighter pilot, retired Lieutenant Colonel Tammy Barlette, delivered a powerful and inspiring keynote during the opening lunch where she shared lessons learned from her years in the cockpit that she now applies to everyday life.

The event concluded with an awards ceremony where the overall skills test winner and others were recognized: • Overall Skills Test: Kait Burds, Dubuque, Iowa • Small Wheel Loader Skills Test: Kait Burds, Dubuque, Iowa • Compact Track Loader Skills Test: Kenzi Tackett, Ray, Ohio • Small Hydraulic Excavator Skills Test: Azaria Biven, Indianapolis, Ind.

Budgets Provides Additional $9.5B for Bridge Projects BUDGET from page 1

Enacted in late 2021, IIJA is the Biden administration’s outline for “building a better America,” according to the Federal Transit Administration.

IIJA supports the rebuild of roads, bridges and rails and upgrades and expands public transit. The bipartisan law modernizes the nation’s ports and airports, tackles the climate crisis and advances environmental justice.

It invests in “communities that have too often been left behind,” said the White House. “It will drive the creation of good-paying union jobs and grow the economy sustainably and equitably to help everyone get ahead for decades to come.”

In announcing Biden’s FY2025 proposal to its members, ARTBA pointed out that the president’s proposed budget “is rarely acted on by Congress.”

However, the proffered budget “serves as the annual starting gun in the race to get spending bills done by the start of the new fiscal year,” said the association.

Pointing out that Congress has failed to meet that goal, ARTBA officials said the organization will work to ensure full IIJA funding by Sept. 30 of this year.

Company Turns Disaster Into Opportunity to Innovate K-TS 30 trommel screen

K-JC 604 mobile jaw crusher

Sometimes it takes tragedy and unfortunate circumstances to create innovation.

Decades ago, a strong earthquake shook a community in Italy. The results were devastating, with buildings brought down to their foundations. In the older communities of Europe, the streets are very narrow and with buildings collapsed on both sides of the streets, access into the area to process and clean up was extraordinarily challenging.

Two innovative young people, one engineer and one salesman combined their efforts to create a compact crusher that could access and crush the rubble, giving larger machines access to the infrastructure of the affected area. The result of the efforts, design, testing, and innovation is known today as the Komplet 4825 crusher.

K-JC 503 mobile mini-jaw crusher

In the years that followed, the Komplet company identified a market in Europe for a full range of aggregate processing equipment in the compact size range. Today, this includes mobile crushers, screeners, shredders and conveying equipment, all of which are designed, engineered, and manufactured in Italy and are sold for applications including onsite mobile crushing and screening operations, recycling, demolition, mining, quarries and even landscape and hardscape.

In the United States, the Komplet product is distributed

by Komplet America through a dealer network and provides support to dealers and their customers.

Komplet America’s president and CEO is Kyle Conti, a fourth-generation civil contractor who also has owned and operated construction equipment dealerships. With his

background, when introduced to the Komplet product offering, he immediately identified the niche the machines could serve within the dealer/rental market and overall construction, demolitions and recycling market. He also completely appreciates the importance of providing reliable machines and having the ability to quickly support the product when and if needed.

Kyle coming from the background of construction understands that one machine is not right for all types of jobs. That is one of the many reasons why Komplet products fill a need. The famous saying “one size fits all” is not true in this case. Komplet produces a line of compact equipment that offers a variety of solutions that can be used in most crushing and screening applications.

Komplet Does Not Believe in ‘One Size Fits All’ Equipment

K-JC 704 mobile jaw crusher Kompatto 221 mobile screener KOMPLET from page 41

In the category of crushing plants, Komplet America currently offers five different models: • K-JC 503 Jaw Crusher features a 25 hp diesel engine, jaw size 19 in. by 12 in., output size ¾ in. to 3-1/4 in., production up to 34 tons per hour and weighs 7,496 lbs.

Equipped with rubber tracks and wireless remote-control, the K-JC 503 mobile jaw crusher is Komplet’s most compact mini crusher. It also features a hydraulically adjustable jaw setting, dust suppression water nozzles, and intuitive easy operation and setup time.

• K-JC 604 Jaw Crusher features a 55 hp diesel engine, jaw size 23 in. by 16 in., output size ¾ in. to 3-1/4 in., production up to 55 tons per hour and weighs 19,400 lbs. The K-JC 604 mobile jaw crusher is ideally suited for onsite demolition recycling and construction waste processing, which helps to avoid large landfill costs. The crusher is fitting with an integrated vibratory feeder and comes standard with remote-control, which can control all functions of the machine.

• K-JC 704 Jaw Crusher features a 74 hp diesel engine, jaw size 27 in. by 16 in., output size ¾ in. to 3-1/4 in., production up to 90 tons per hour and weighs 26,455 lbs. The K-JC 704 mobile jaw crusher is a compact jaw crusher that can tackle big jobs, but small enough to fit on a trailer and be transported by a dump truck. This machine is overbuilt to withstand the toughest applications. Its sensor above the jaw inlet opening turns the vibrating hopper on and off to control the feeding of material and prevents jamming.

• K-JC 805 Jaw Crusher features 130 hp diesel engine, jaw size 31 in. by 21 in., output size 1-3/8 in. to 4-3/4 in., production up to 160 tons per hour and weights 39,800 lbs. The K-JC 805 mobile jaw crusher is the largest and most productive rock crusher in the Komplet lineup. It is designed to handle even the toughest materials, including medium rock, hard rock, reinforced concrete and asphalt. This crusher is ideal for contractors and quarry operators yet is still easily transported from the yard to the job site.

• K-IC 70 Impact Crusher features a 100 hp diesel engine, jaw size 25 in. by 20 in., output size ¾ in. to 3-1/4 see KOMPLET page 52

Kompatto 5030 mobile screener

K-TS 40 trommel screen

offers one model: • K-TC 460 Tracked Conveyor features a 25 hp diesel engine, belt size 25 in. by 393 in., pile height 181 in., production up to 132 tons per hour and weighs 7,000 lbs. Komplet’s K-TC 460 high performance tracked mobile conveyor offers compact size with excellent production and cost-effective material handling. This machine is small, lightweight, and easily transported. Its designed and engineered from the ground up to be easily combined to work in tandem with Komplet crushers and screeners.

According to Cody Price, Operations Manager of Komplet America,”The market for compact aggregate and recycling equipment in the United States is expanding at an accelerated rate. The cost of aggregate, fuel, labor, and landfill tipping fees have all increased dramatically.”

“It has been an accepted practice for decades on larger projects to crush demolition materials and excavated stone on site to create an aggregate that can be reused at the site or even sold, and the savings create project and/or company savings and revenue. These compact machines are making it possible for smaller contractors, landscapers, hardscape contractors and smaller demolition contractors to see the same kind of savings.”

“Urban demolition sites are often too congested to allow a crushing and screening spread to be set up. With our

machines and the small footprint, this is now feasible in places that in the past could not have been considered. The same idea is true with composting. There is a demand for composting in urban areas, but perhaps not the room for a trommel screener that is essential to the process. Our machines make that possible. Furthermore, smaller equipment means smaller expenses and out of pocket up front purchase costs.”

Every machine Komplet manufactures can be easily transported, offering a tremendous savings to contractors operating in urban settings.

“All of our machines are very simple to operate,” Mr. Price said. “You do not have to have a dedicated expert on staff assigned to the crushing and screening operation. In most cases, you can set up an entire spread and run it with one operator, and with our remote controls, that operator can run the spread from the cab of whatever machine is selected to feed the spread.”

Komplet America goes the extra mile to ensure that every customer has a positive buying experience. Before each machine is delivered, it is brought into the shop and completely tested. It is then set up and operated with some products run through the machine to make sure there are no hidden issues. After the test run, the machine is cleaned, detailed, serviced again, and then designated ready for delivery. Every machine comes with a one-year/1,000-hour warranty and extended warranty options are available as well.

Regarding parts and support, Mr. Price said, “We have made a huge investment in inventorying every feasible part that could possibly fail for every machine we sell. We want our customers to be able to rely on Komplet to keep them running. When our customers need support, we want to get it to them immediately. We are the Komplet hub here in the USA to make sure your project keeps going.”

“If there are issues, we have a staff of qualified technicians who can talk the customer through an issue that develops and when that is not a workable solution, we dispatch to the customer or use one of the service providers that we network with across the country.”

For Komplet America it all comes down to the bottom line — the company wants to give its customers peace of mind while saving them time and money when they process materials directly on site, often under scenarios and locations where it has never before been possible.  CEG (All photos courtesy of Komplet North America.)

Tracked Excavators Carry Out Dirt Moving Operations Along Corridor K NCDOT from page 24

Dockery said the main challenges for crews have been constructing the cuts and fills, wall construction and drainage. The narrow and mountainous terrain and associated environmental constraints are major concerns.

“It’s tedious work. Our terrain is so steep, and we’re so confined in areas that it’s difficult to get to the top to get the slope to excavate for wall construction.”

As this project involves both cuts and fills, coordination of excavation activities in the cut areas is essential to optimize operational efficiency. By phasing the process to allow for direct hauling of excavated material to designated fill areas, crews are significantly enhancing efficiency, minimizing the need to handle dirt multiple times.

While much work remains, Dockery said clearing is already complete. Some permitted sites, such as pipe installation and tasks that had time restrictions have been finished.

Currently, wall construction on Stecoah Mountain is under way, along with embankment construction in valleys and the installation of drainage systems/pipes.

Dockery said the routes are routinely affected by winter weather, due in part to the elevation.

“Snow and ice are very common in this area. It can be raining in Robbinsville but dumping five inches of snow at the top of Stecoah Mountain. The project can be slowed two or three days a week during the winter months.”

A total of 416,000 cu. yds. of dirt will be moved during construction, which primarily involves large, tracked excavators. Stone, concrete and various pipe materials will all be used by crews.

Watson Contracting Inc., Charles Blalock & Sons Inc. and Adams Contracting Co. Inc. were selected to carry out the various tasks.

“These contractors are a good fit because they have previously performed this type of work,” said Dockery. “Each is based in western North Carolina, so they bring a sense of

familiarity with conditions to the project, as well as local pride.”

Improvements to the 12-mi. portion of Corridor K between Robbinsville and Stecoah began in November 2022, with the awarded sections expected to be completed

by August 2026.  CEG

Pintail Site Preparation Buys Hitachi Wheel Loader From Hills Machinery

CRYSTAL TRACTOR & EQUIPMENT 11863 US HWY 301 Hampton, FL 32044 352-770-0488 Crystaltractor.com

THE IRONPEDDLERS 3504 N. Rocky River Road Monroe, NC 28110 800-438-1933 704-289-8591

Kevin Jackson Jr. (L) and Zachary Sforzo, both of Pintail Site Preparation LLC. PINTAIL from page 10

construction under his belt.

“Kevin and I were exploring some special projects at our company and just beginning to get into the construction side of it with some of the heavy equipment like excavators,” Sforzo said.

At the same time, according to Sforzo, the original contractor building the large SeaPoint Terminal along President Street on the Savannah waterfront was struggling mightily to complete the job.

“The contractor really did not want to continue working there,” Sforzo said. “They were really not making a whole lot of money with what they had. For us, though, it turned out to be an opportunity that fell into our laps.”

With the formation of Pintail, the trio of Jackson, Skinner and Sforzo were able to secure the contract to finish the site preparation for the SeaPoint Terminal after three years of work.

When asked what factors made the downtown Savannah parcel of land so difficult to prepare for construction, Sforzo said it primarily had to do with the site’s environment and terrain.

“It was right off the Savannah River and the ground on which [the previous contractor was] moving and driving was made up mostly of marsh mud,” he said. “That proved to be hard on the equipment they were using, and it continued to be difficult after we took over the job. We would sink equipment over and over. It was tough sledding from start to finish.

Compared to where we are on this site in Rincon, which is a little higher above sea level, this is much drier ground.”

A key factor in getting the SeaPoint job done properly was using bigger flotation-tire vehicles, Sforzo said, rather than relying on double- and tri-axle dump trucks. These tires provided Pintail’s crew with a larger footprint to distribute the machine’s weight across a larger surface area for better handling in all conditions.

“Those tires were much more suited for the environment and the muddy terrain — not to mention they helped to move a lot more material as well,” he added.

Pintail Relies On New Savannah Branch of Hills Machinery To get the equipment it needs to do jobs like the Rincon industrial park project, Pintail has come to rely on the

Savannah branch of Hills Machinery. Headquartered in Charleston, Hills has multiple dealerships across the two Carolinas and Virginia, but its Savannah location is one of its newest.

Sforzo said his company enjoys working with Donnie Crosby, a Hills Machinery sales representative in the Savannah office that he and his partners have known for years.

The veteran Crosby supplied Pintail with several Hitachi products to operate on its projects.

“Two of the first excavators we used were Hitachi 350s that we purchased to work on the original SeaPoint project to start our company,” Sforzo said. “We love their excavators and consider them to be the cream of the crop. In fact, we have found that there really is not a better excavator for moving dirt than the Hitachis.”

Pintail’s latest purchase from Hills was a Hitachi ZW180-6 wheel loader, which Sforzo described as working so well that he and his partners are considering obtaining additional units.

“That front-end loader is a big one and has close to a 5-cu.yd. bucket attached,” he said. “Plus, we have other buckets and forks with it and the muddy terrain tires I mentioned earlier because they make it much easier to travel around these sites, especially when the weather has been bad.

“Right now, we are using the front-end loader to work on underground utilities,” Sforzo added, “mainly to move most of the concrete pipe, the sewer and water pipes and the structures that come in for those various utilities. The crew also uses it to transport some of the stone they need in order to lay those utilities at their elevations and keep them safe for those guys.”

Pintail’s Hitachi excavators often get in the action because of their expertise in applying backfill material where needed.

The ease with which their tracks allow them to scurry up and down dirt piles make them valuable tools for Sforzo and his crew.

“We have really gained a lot of trust in working with Donnie and Hills Machinery, although we are new to Hills,” he said. “As far as their service and response, every time we have needed something and given them a call, it gets done almost immediately.”

ARTBA: Budget Sets $61.2B for Federal Highway Projects BUDGET from page 40

“The subway systems, commuter rail, light rail, streetcar and bus rapid transit projects will bring about transformative change in their communities.”

This, by providing transit opportunities to new riders, will create jobs and jumpstart economic development, he added.

“The Biden-Harris Administration has awarded nearly $100 billion from the IIJA to support transit agencies of all sizes.”

Buttigieg touted the funding, saying when transit reaches more people and communities its impact is greater.

“The Biden-Harris Administration is proud to support funding for 14 large projects that will expand transit for millions of Americans across the country.”

Veronica Vanterpool, acting FTA administrator, said the investments support Biden’s commitment to combat climate change.

They also improve safety, advance equity and improve quality of life for Americans, she added.

Seven of the 14 projects would receive funding for the first time while others already are under construction or are far enough along to receive a grant.

FTA also outlined several proposed pro-

visions to increase access to and effectiveness of federal funds across American communities.

The agency would support equity in rural and tribal areas by waiving the match

required in the applicable grants programs.

It also would waive the match requirement for tribal applicants to the buses and bus facilities and low and no-emission competitive programs.

The nation’s best Design-Build resources, along with networking opportunities, are available for anyone working in the aviation or transportation sectors when they come to this event. With Highway/Street projected to represent the largest growth segments in Design-Build spending over the next three years, and other areas of transportation (I.e., airports, transit, ports, etc.) among the fastest growing segments, sharing practical application techniques, lessons learned, and key success factors are critical to optimizing this highly flexible project delivery methods.

The proposed budget would “address the fiscal cliff” by allowing use of urbanized area formula funds and FHWA flex funds for urban operating assistance. It would empower local authorities by enabling transit agencies to purchase property outside an existing transit corridor falling in line with FHWA policies.

The budget would unlock micromobility systems by allowing grantees to fund shared systems, such as bicycles and scooters, to connect transit stations.

Finally, it would lower bus costs and speed up delivery by authorizing FTA to encourage delivery of low- and no-emission buses.

Which means there’s something for the EPA to smile about as well in the proposed budget which achieves meaningful deficit reduction, said Michael Regan, EPA administrator.

The proposal bolsters the agency’s efforts by investing nearly $1.5 billion in justicerelated programs and the budget prioritizes combatting climate change with the urgency that science demands, he said.

And it provides $1.5 billion for the Office of Air and Radiation to develop policies and programs that control air pollution and radiation exposure.  CEG For more information, visit www.dbwater.com/ or contact DBIA at Telephone: 1/202-682-0110 AMERICAN PUBLIC WORKS ASSOCIATION (APWA) 2024 North American Snow Conference DATES: Sunday, April 28, 2024 – Wednesday, May 1, 2024 Place: Kansas City Convention Center 301 W. 13th St, Kansas City, MO 64105 Description: The Show for Snow!
