Most vehicles with 72 in. or greater hinge pin height may use standard 4-ft.-length augers.

Danuser has introduced a new mounting system to make its EP Auger compatible for mini-skid steers. The auger features a planetary gear drive that is up to 42 percent stronger, with greater torque for drilling through hard-compacted surfaces, according to the manufacturer.

“Models range from 6 to 35 gpm and from 1,500 to 3,500 psi, making this a very versatile tool for the construction and agricultural industries,” said Glenn Danuser, company coowner.

Other features include the following: • The mount utilizes the same EP unit with the housing (no need to stock a special unit). • Swings from a knuckle to allow left-to-right, forward-toback leveling. • Most vehicles with 72 in. or greater hinge pin height may use standard 4-ft.-length augers. Hinge pin heights 71 in. or shorter require 3-ft.-length augers, maximum.

Mounts also are available for front-end loaders, backhoes, excavators and other skid steer models.

Arkansas Already Sets Its Sights On CAP2; Funding to Be Available in 2023

sitions and utility relocations to keep the project on schedule,” Kimichik said.

Land-based equipment on the project is predominantly new Caterpillar gear purchased by the joint venture from the local Riggs CAT dealer. There are 13 cranes on the project, some large enough to drill a 10-ft. shaft.

“Land-based cranes are a variety of sizes but mainly Manitowoc and Tadano brand,” Kimichik said, adding that the marine-based cranes also are a variety of sizes, but mainly Manitowoc and Liebherr brand. Land-based cranes were sourced internally from one of the partner’s equipment fleet and purchased by the joint venture partnership. Marine-based cranes also were sourced internally from one of the partner’s equipment fleet and are currently being rented as needed by the joint venture partnership.

Materials needed for the job include 42,721 tons of aggregate base course; 175,106 tons of asphalt; 75,942 cu. yds. of concrete; and 25,485 linear ft. of RC pipe culverts.

“There will be several phases throughout the life of the project that will involve temporary pavement and traffic shifts in order to construct the entire project while maintaining three lanes in either direction along Interstate 30,” Kimichik said.

He said Kiewit Massman Construction communicates upcoming impacts to traffic and residents in order to ensure safety and keep things running smoothly.

“At this point in the project, we’ve held three stakeholder meetings since fall of 2020 and have visited several local businesses to communicate the project timeline.”

CAP2

As if CAP1 wasn’t a big enough project for Arkansas, plans are already under way for CAP2.

“Funding for the CAP2 is not available until July 2023,” Wylie said. “This is when the permanent half-cent sales tax hike takes effect here in Arkansas.”

That doesn’t mean they’ll have CAP2 projects beginning in 2023, she pointed out. CAP2 covers a 20-year span. Some of the highlights include the continuation of widening projects started with CAP1 along major corridors such as Arkansas highways 412, 65, 270 and 82. It also includes new location work on multi-billion-dollar high-priority interstates 49 and 69.

CAP2 goes a little farther by including significant funds for additional lanes on Interstate 40 between North Little Rock and West Memphis, Ark.

By the end of the decade, Arkansas will be the most wellconnected state in the union if all projects complete as planned.  CEG

PIRTEK Upstate to Support Rapid Expansion in S.C.

The westernmost region of South Carolina, referred to by locals as “upstate,” is centrally located between the large cities of Charlotte and Atlanta. The area is one of the fastest growing in the southeast United States.

This rapid expansion has led entrepreneurs Brian Gourley and Nathan Lee to open their new hydraulic and industrial hose service franchise, PIRTEK Upstate.

According to Gourley, it was evident that the region was in vital need of a business such as theirs to support the multitude of construction companies that are scrambling to keep pace with the population boom.

“With an average of 35 people per day moving to the area between 2010 and 2021, there is pressure to complete numerous housing and infrastructure projects,” he said.

Beyond construction, the two men anticipate many customers from the area’s large manufacturing sector, their suppliers, and the distribution and logistics companies that ship out their products. Gourley and Lee are focused on servicing the various types of hydraulic power that keep these businesses operating.

PIRTEK Upstate will provide hydraulic and industrial hose replacement service under the company’s Tier 2 pro-
