Krome Avenue Project Approaches Completion

By Irwin Rapoport

Odebrecht Construction USA is less than two months away from completing the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) $59 million project to widen and improve a segment of State Road (SR) 977/Krome Avenue from SR 94/SW 88 Street/Kendall Drive to north of SR 90/SW 8 Street/Tamiami Trail in western Miami-Dade County.

The work started in February 2015 and is estimated to be completed in September 2018.

The Krome Avenue section is widening the road from two lanes to four lanes; installing a 40-ft. median, a new drainage system and a guardrail throughout the project limits; and constructing a new multi-use trail for walking and biking. The SW 88 Street/Kendall Drive section is realigning the intersection; reconstructing the roadway and shoulders; and upgrad-

The completion date for the project is June 2019.

One hundred and twenty-six children and young adults with developmental disabilities will be getting homes of their own next year when 15 new group homes are completed in Boise, La. Crews broke ground on the project at the St. Mary’s Residential Training School in June 2018.

The $9.5 million-dollar project will eliminate dormitories on St. Mary’s campus and transition more residents from dormitories to a true home of their own, said Tamara McNulty, director of

development.

“This project has been a long-time coming for us at St. Mary’s,” said Christi Guillot, St. Mary’s administrator. “With 40 people living in a dorm, it can be quite chaotic. It’s not a place that really feels like home and we believe our residents deserve better.”

The homes are traditional in style with brick exteriors and other commonly used building materials.

The Growth of John Deere — A Century of Innovation

By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

If someone looks back on the early years of John Deere — the man and the 100-year-old tractor company he founded — and exclaims, “How quaint!” that person has backed over and badly damaged his hindsight.

Things always look easier in a rearview mirror.

Yes, a 20-horsepower, steel-lugged John Deere Model D of 1924 is almost toy-like compared with Deere’s huge new 620-hp Model 9620R, a 30-ton behemoth with an articulated middle section and eight fat, heavy-treaded tires to propel it. Now that’s a tractor!

Yet the truth is, so was the D model.

John Deere has been at or near the forefront of tractor development for a long time.

“I would say that at John Deere, innovation never stops,” said Tiffany Turner, product marketing manager for large Deere tractors. “We constantly are asking, ‘How do we need to grow and expand?’ We continue to After dabbling with an all-wheel-drive tractor design, John Deere in 1918 purchased look forward and to research tech- Waterloo (Iowa) Gasoline Engine Company, maker of the Waterloo Boy. nologies. Research doesn’t stop in John Deere world.”

Spoken like a true believer, but then Turner grew up in that world, on a farm in northwest Missouri where a 96 PTO-hp John Deere 4020 looms fondly in her memory. She has been a Deere employee for 19 years and, as of early March, had already given 40plus interviews about Deere’s century of making tractors.

Over the course of the century, Deere grew and grew and became a multidimensional equipment company that today encompasses agriculture, forestry, turf, and construction industries. So, the question is, is Deere & Company an ag tractor company, a yard tractor company, a harvest machinery and farm implement company, a construction equipment company, a timber-handling equipment company, or what? The simple answer Seen here is a one-of-a-kind “Bathtub D” – experimental version of the Waterloo Boy. is … yes.

John Deere tractors are produced globally today, including plants near Pune, Waterloo (Iowa) Gasoline Engine Company, self-propelled machines. They didn’t inspire India, and in Ningbo, China. After a hundred maker of the Waterloo Boy. The Waterloo farmers to quit using horses to turn soil and years of building them (plus an additional 80 Boy Model R was extremely popular — harvest crops. But they put their horses out to years designing and constructing farm which was why Deere coveted it — and the pasture for the Waterloo Boy, buying more implements and wagons), Deere has turned tractor continued to be produced by Deere than 5,000 of the tractors in the first year out some iconic pieces of equipment. Here’s under the Waterloo name for another five Deere owned the product. years. It was an economy tractor, that is, a a quick look at some of them. unit small and inexpensive enough to be The Model D afforded by small farmers. Prior to the The 1923 successor to Waterloo Boy, this The Waterloo Boy After dabbling with an all-wheel-drive Waterloo Boy, the only options for farmers two-cylinder, kerosene-burning tractor protractor design, Deere in 1918 purchased the were cumbersome steam engine-powered duced 15-20 horsepower. It was immediate-

ly successful in the tractor market and remained a staple of the Deere equipment lineup for the next 30 years. The machine evolved, of course, during the years of its production. Over time, its engine horsepower was boosted and its steel wheels and lugs were replaced by hard-rubber tires. The tractor was by all accounts a rudimentary machine, but thoroughly workmanlike.

The Model A Not to be confused with the iconic Ford automobile, this A model was introduced in 1934. The A featured a narrow front-end tire configuration and easily adjustable rear wheels and specifically targeted row-crop field work (and the rival Farmall tractor).

Its long-handled hand clutch was an idiosyncratic touch for the next 25 years. The tractor was powered by a Deere 28-hp two-cylinder engine, which had fewer moving parts than some engines in rival products and produced good low-end torque. The the firing pattern of the two-cylinder engine also produced a distinctive popping noise rather than the smoother roar of four-cylinder engines, which led Deere tractors to be fondly labeled “Johnny Poppers.” The A (and a similar but smaller B model) was well received and remained a Deere mainstay for the next 18 years.

The ‘10’ Models In 1960, Johnny Poppers were consigned to history’s back forty. After several years of development, Deere introduced a “New Generation” of four- and six-cylinder engines to meet customer demand for more horsepower. The redesigned tractors also featured conventional foot clutches, improved hydraulics, an ergonomically designed operator platform, and hydraulic power brakes. The sixcylinder 4010 was the top of the line and came in at 84 hp. Three years later, a model 5010 rated at 106 hp was introduced and the era of bigengined ag tractors was fully under way. A few years later, the 10 Series tractors evolved into the 20 Series, with the successor 4020 model becoming one of the biggest-selling John Deere tractors of all time.

Sound-Gard Bodies In 1973, Deere tractors became comfort centers for farmers who for too long alternately froze or sweltered at the wheel of see DEERE page 92

Construction Safety: Deadly Serious In 2016, there were 991 fatal injuries in the U.S. construction industry — equating to one in five of all worker deaths in the country. The leading causes of deaths were falls, followed by being hit by an object, electrocution and getting caught, crushed or struck by collapsing structure, materials or equipment. Dean McKenzie, director of the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), discusses this painful issue.

Volvo (V): Why do you think construction has this relatively poor record of safety?

OSHA: Construction by its nature is constantly changing: job sites are different tomorrow than they were today. You either dug the hole deeper or put the walls up taller — it never stays the same. This lack of consistency means that the risks — and the hazard awareness needed to reduce them — also needs to constantly adapt.

V: Deaths on sites are thankfully low in the U.S. Are the numbers still reducing?

OSHA: In absolute terms, deaths on sites in the U.S. are actually rising. But as a proportion of construction and housing starts, things are improving. The U.S. construction industry is in a growth phase, meaning more activity, more people involved in the industry, and unfortunately, more accidents. But the long-term trend is still in the right direction.

V: How is safety regarded on sites now?

OSHA: When I was a kid, there was a “macho” mentality that to have concern about safety was a sign of weakness. That attitude has completely changed — wearing personal protective equipment is far more accepted today, and far from being a sign of weakness. A concern for safety has become a badge of professionalism.

V: What is the secret of site safety?

OSHA: Each job, situation and work crew are unique — and the dynamic will be different tomorrow. Because of that you need to do a hazard analysis on a constant basis, and keep up with what could happen, what is going to happen, and what the potentials are. If there is one secret, then it is for employers to make sure that their employees value themselves.

V: Do fines and punishment change behavior?

OSHA: Penalties are designed primarily to provide an incentive for preventing or correcting violations voluntarily, not only to the employer receiving the penalty, but to other employers too. While penalties are not designed as punishment for violations, the intent is that penalty amounts should be sufficient to serve as an effective deterrent to violations.

V: Is safety always an additional expense — or can it save money?

The construction industry is constantly evolving but safety remains a top priority.

OSHA: A safety mindset can absolutely save money. This comes in the form of less time lost to accidents, litigation, and insurance costs — and in increased efficiency.

One example of improved efficiency is a steel erection company in the U.S. that is strict about its six-foot fall protection trigger height. They supply workers with a tool lanyard where every tool they carry is literally tied to them. They are so much more efficient, because they are not falling, nor dropping their wrench, hammer, etc. When you enjoy that lack of injuries and improved effectiveness, you also cut your costs for general liability, workman’s compensation — and become more profitable.

V: Has the modern world brought any new dangers?

OSHA: We can do so much with technology to improve safety, but quite often new technology comes with a side effect. Cell phone calls and earphones playing music are the modern distractions on site. These interruptions come in real time while you’re on the job site, taking calls and worrying about problems that in the old days we didn’t learn about until we got home. In the past, you could yell up to somebody on the job site and know that you would be heard.

But with a cell phone and headphones in, maybe not...

V: What about mental health issues?

OSHA: Suicide rates have been climbing in the industry for the last couple of years in

the U.S. Construction workers are all temporary workers. When one building is complete they go to another building, which often means they go to a different company.

The mortgage comes every month, the family needs looking after, and there is always the worry that you’re about to run out of work. There’s a lot of stress and pressure that comes with construction.

V: When it comes to onsite equipment, what is the main danger?

OSHA: In the U.S., typically 60 people die a year due to being backed over. Quite often, it is the flagman who is run over. At the other end of the scale there are still a huge number of hand injuries each year.

V: What can construction learn from other industries? Is there one industry that’s doing things amazingly well that construction could look to emulate?

OSHA: It is very hard to compare construction to any static, general industry setting. At an automotive manufacturing plant, for instance, you know that the components and materials are going to flow through the factory in a controlled way, and at the other end of the building out goes the machine.

On a construction site, it’s different every day. In a factory situation, you can develop your safety program to say: “It is always going to be this way”, but with construction you can’t do that. What construction must do is learn to make that assessment on a constant basis, and constantly evolve and

grow. With that in mind, construction is doing a pretty good job of keeping its people safe.

V: Do you have one last message to the industry in terms of what OSHA is trying to achieve?

OSHA: OSHA would much rather help the construction industry figure out how to do things safely, productively, profitably and protect its workers, than with penalties and fines. We want to work with the industry to improve and develop the safest way to do things. Enforcement, penalties and fines are components of our role, but we are primarily here and ready to support and help the industry in every way that we can.

About the Author With more than 40 years of experience in the field of construction, Dean McKenzie has a good understanding of the safety and health issues facing the industry. He started out in the steel mills of Indiana as a journeyman millwright in the mid-1970s. He has been a licensed general contractor, business owner, and project and operations manager.

McKenzie served as director of OSHA’s Office of Construction Services from 20122013, then became the deputy director in 2013. In 2016 was appointed director of the agency’s Directorate of Construction.

A Kansas City, Mo., hotel where the FBI took down two KC mob bosses and 10 other mafia associates was razed the morning of June 24, 2018.

Closed in 2016, the former Park Place Hotel near Front Street and I-435 came tumbling down with the help of 500 lbs. of dynamite.

The hotel opened in 1975 as the Breckenridge Inn. Three years later, builders added a second tower, and with 328 rooms, the hotel was the Kansas City area's 13th largest. It had a 9,500-sq.-ft. ballroom and a 5-acre man-made lake and indoor/outdoor pool, according to the Kansas City Star.

In 1978, FBI agents followed Kansas City mob underboss Carl “Tuffy” DeLuna to the Breckenridge Inn, where he regularly used the public phones in the hotel lobby. The FBI had learned that DeLuna was using the payphones to call Joseph Agosto, his contact at the Tropicana Hotel in Las Vegas, to discuss the crime family’s interests in the casinos, as The Star reported at the time.

By using the phones in the hotel lobby, he hoped to avoid being overheard by the FBI, which was listening in on more than 30 tapped telephones and hidden microphones in Kansas City and Las Vegas, reported the Kansas City Star.

Retired Kansas City police detective Gary Jenkins in his book “Leaving Vegas,” recounted that the FBI had agents and secretaries stage a pool party at the Breckenridge Inn, to eavesdrop on DeLuna and get a warrant to tap the payphone he used.

The wiretaps revealed an elaborate scheme in which crime families in several U.S. cities — including Kansas City — siphoned money out of Las Vegas casinos they secretly controlled and provided evidence used to prosecute the bosses of the Kansas City mob, brothers Nick and Carl Civella, and 10 other mob figures indicted in 1981 in the Tropicana skimming operation.

A Kansas City grand jury handed down the indictments in a related casino skimming investigation that took down leading gangsters in Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland in 1983.

Agosto, the man DeLuna called from the lobby of the Breckenridge Inn, was a star witness in the case.

Kansas City-based Industrial Salvage & Wrecking drilled more than 2,200 holes into the structure. Controlled Demolition Inc. of Maryland set the explosive charges to bring the structure down.

The hotel at 1601 N. Universal Ave. had undergone many transformations over the years and operated under multiple names but recently it had become blighted and a haven for vagrants and looters.

Researchers Pursue Path to the Fuel of the Future Using Carbon Dioxide

The National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC) Miami Chapter kicked off “Women in Construction Week” this April with a site visit to Miami Worldcenter, one of the country’s largest mixed-use development projects currently under way in downtown Miami, in an effort to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the field.

Now carbon dioxide is favored as a candidate for Fuel of the Future.

Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT

We all want to believe in perfect energy solutions. Clean, cheap and limitless energy for everyone. Nirvana, in a word.

It isn’t here yet, though fracking has produced some great leaps forward in energy production. Repurposing carbon dioxide now has people excited. It probably is best not to hope for too much too soon.

Those old enough to remember the year 1989 might recall the “cold fusion” excitement of that year when two researchers at the University of Utah announced they had produced a nuclear reaction at room temperature. Most of us are more familiar with hot fusion, to coin a term, as epitomized by nuclear bombs and exploding stars, processes in which temperatures are produced in the millions of degrees.

The news out of Utah had the world hoping that a nuclear reaction could be replicated though cold fusion to produce the same monstrous energy without all the heat and nasty radioactivity.

Alas, the cold fusion research was debunked in pretty short order. The cheery thought of bulldozers and mining trucks rumbling around with nuclear engines purring under their hoods soon evaporated.

Looking Forward Now carbon dioxide is favored as a candidate for Fuel of the Future. It is being groomed as a successor to the current reliance on biofuels and fossil fuels, both of which emit carbon dioxide in unhealthy quantities. For example, an estimated two million construction and mining machines are operated in the United States. According to the EPA, all that equipment consumes six billion gallons of diesel fuel each year. If some of those machines could be converted to consuming carbon dioxide instead, now that would be something.

Attempts to do just that have been bubbling for a decade.

The most recent attempts were undertaken in Massachusetts and Canada.

Professors at Massachusetts Institute of Technology last

year developed a membrane that filters carbon monoxide from carbon dioxide — which is to say, it peels off oxygen and traps carbon monoxide. The captured gas either is used as a fuel or is combined with hydrogen to produce liquid hydrocarbon fuels such as methanol and syngas. The professors envision their system being employed at fossil-fueled power plants to turn the smokestack emissions into useable and cleaner fuels for cars, trucks, planes … and, say, hydraulic excavators.

The latest hopeful pronouncement comes from north of the border in British Columbia. A Harvard professor and chief scientist of a Canadian firm, Carbon Engineering, has overseen development of a system to suck CO2 from the air and turn it into fuel. Professor David Keith and his engineers say the process involves giant fans vacuuming the air and treating the captured air molecules with an aqueous solution that holds onto the carbon dioxide and begins the process of converting it into gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Thus, the process is carbon neutral.

The professor said his renewable energy-powered plants set up around the country on a massive scale could produce 30 million gallons of fuel annually. This is a way, he says, “to take low-cost carbon-free power sources like solar or wind and channel them into fuels that can be used to decarbonize the transportation sector.”

The Carbon Engineering plants will produce the fuel at a cost of $95 to $230 per ton of captured carbon dioxide. That is much less than earlier estimates for the process but still would produce fuel retailing for something like $4 a gallon.

That price could be attractive in places like California, where fuel standards are strictly controlled and fuel prices are relatively high. In other markets, the product would be less appealing to cost-conscious consumers.

But it’s a start. Rome wasn’t fueled in a day. If researchers and engineers keep working at it, reduced carbon-dioxide in our environment and dramatically more efficient fuel systems in our cars, trucks and motor graders will be upon us quicker than you can say, “Cool.”

NAWIC Tours Miami Worldcenter Site, Raise Awareness

The National Association of Women in Construction’s (NAWIC) Miami Chapter kicked off “Women in Construction Week” this April with a site visit to Miami Worldcenter, one of the country’s largest mixed-use development projects currently under way in downtown Miami, in an effort to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women in the construction industry and to emphasize the growing role of women in the field.

During the tour, NAWIC President Rhonda Wimberley and approximately 18 other members of the chapter toured the development’s various components currently under construction, including its high-street retail promenade, the 43story Caoba apartment building and the Paramount Miami Worldcenter condominium tower and amenity deck.

The NAWIC began in 1953 with 16 women who knew that women represented only a small fraction of the construction industry, this led to its formation to create a support network for those women. Today, NAWIC provides its members with opportunities for professional development, education, networking, leadership training, public service and more with the core purpose: “To enhance the success of women in the construction industry.”

Supreme Court Deals Big Setback to Labor Unions WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court ruled June 27 that government workers can’t be forced to contribute to labor unions that represent them in collective bargaining, dealing a serious financial blow to organized labor.

The court’s conservative majority scrapped a 41-year-old decision that had allowed states to require that public employees pay some fees to unions that represent them, even if the workers choose not to join.

The 5-4 decision fulfills a longtime wish of conservatives to get rid of the so-called fair share fees that non-members pay to unions in roughly two dozen states.

Organized labor is a key Democratic constituency.

The court ruled that the laws violate the First Amendment by compelling workers to support unions they may disagree with.

“States and public-sector unions may no longer extract agency fees from nonconsenting employees,” Justice Samuel Alito said in his majority opinion in the latest case in which Justice Neil Gorsuch, an appointee of President Donald Trump, provided a key fifth vote for a conservative outcome.

Trump himself tweeted his approval of the decision while Alito still was reading a summary of it from the bench.

“Big loss for the coffers of the Democrats!” Trump said in the tweet.

In dissent, Justice Elena Kagan wrote of the big impact of the decision. “There is no sugarcoating today’s opinion. The majority overthrows a decision entrenched in this Nation’s law — and its economic life — for over 40 years. As a result, it prevents the American people, acting through their state and local officials, from making important choices about workplace governance. And it does so by weaponizing the First Amendment, in a way that unleashes judges, now and in the future, to intervene in economic and regulatory policy.”

The court’s three other liberal justices joined the dissent.

The court split 4-4 the last time it considered the issue in 2016 following the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Last year, unions strongly opposed Gorsuch’s nomination by Trump.

The unions say the outcome could affect more than 5 million government workers in about two dozen states and the District of Columbia.

The case involving Illinois state government worker Mark Janus is similar to the one the justices took up in 2016. At that time, the court appeared to be ready to overrule a 1977 high court decision that serves as the legal foundation for the fair share fees. But Scalia’s death left the court tied, and a lower court ruling in favor of the fees remained in place.

The unions argued that so-called fair share fees pay for collective bargaining and other work the union does on behalf of all employees, not just its members. More than half the states already have right-to-work laws banning mandatory fees, but most members of public-employee unions are concentrated in states that don’t, including California, New York and Illinois.

Labor leaders fear that not only will workers who don’t belong to a union stop paying fees, but that some union members might decide to stop paying dues if they could in essence get the union’s representation for free.

A recent study by Frank Manzo of the Illinois Public Policy Institute and Robert Bruno of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign estimated that publicsector unions could lose more than 700,000 members over time as a result of the ruling and that unions also could suffer a loss of political influence that could depress wages as well.

Alito acknowledged that unions could “experience unpleasant transition costs in the short term.” But he said labor’s problems pale in comparison to “the considerable windfall that unions have received...for the past 41 years.”

Billions of dollars have been taken from workers who were not union members in that time, he said.

“Those unconstitutional exactions cannot be allowed to continue indefinitely,” Alito wrote.

Kagan, reading a summary of her dissent in the courtroom, said unions only could collect money for the costs of negotiating terms of employment. “But no part of those fees could go to any of the union’s political or ideological activities,” she said.

The court’s majority said public-sector unions are not entitled to any money from employees without their consent.

ABC of Georgia Awards Excellence in Construction, Safety Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Georgia recently honored the winners of its biannual Excellence in Construction (EIC) competition and annual safety award program.

Winners of ABC of Georgia’s 2018 EIC awards competition, along with recipients of ABC’s annual safety awards, were recognized recently at a gathering of 400 individuals at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Ga. Georgia chapter board chairman Rob Cooper of Ivey Mechanical Company LLC; ABC of Georgia Safety Forum chair Pat Devero of McCarthy Building Companies; keynote speaker and board member Robert Maddux of KDC Real Estate Development & Investments; Associated Builders and Contractors’ national vice president of EH&S and Workforce Development Greg Sizemore; and ABC of Georgia President and CEO Bill Anderson took part in the proceedings.

“It’s an honor to be here at the majestic Fox Theatre to honor the outstanding projects built by ABC members,” said Cooper.

“Just as the Fox has stood the test of time, so will the construction work that we recognize here tonight.”

The EIC program highlights the innovation, quality and vision of a project’s entire construction team — general and specialty contractors, architects, engineers, owners and others. Entries were evaluated on criteria such as complexity, attractiveness, safety, unusual challenges, completion time, workmanship, innovation and budget.

Awards of Excellence were given to the projects receiving the highest ratings in specialty contracting, such as electrical, mechanical, waterproofing and exteriors, as well as general contracting in such markets as commercial, healthcare, industrial and institutional.

Awards of Merit also were presented.

The association’s Safety awards are presented annually to Georgia contractors who have had low rates of on-the-job injuries and who have demonstrated the highest commitment to safety and safety training.

ABC’s Safety Training and Evaluation Process (STEP) awards recognize member companies who employ effective safety practices on their job sites, based on 20 key elements of contractor safety programs such as management commitment, pre-planning for safety on job sites, safety training and resources committed to safety. The STEP process, which was developed and written by contractors, is a tool designed to objectively benchmark and evaluate safety programs, policies, procedures and training.

“Safety leadership matters, and ABC of Georgia and its members are certainly leading the way in embracing the Safety Training Evaluation Process,” said Greg Sizemore,

ABC vice president of HSE and workforce development.

ABC Safety Forum Chair Pat Devero recognized the membership for their outstanding dedication to safety.

“It’s been my honor to serve as your Safety Forum chair for the past two years,” he said. “The members that make up the ABC Safety Forum — operations leads, risk management partners, suppliers and equipment experts and safety professionals — are making a direct impact on the safety of all our workers.”

This year the Georgia Chapter presented 70 STEP awards, more than half of them at the two highest levels, as well as 45 Georgia Awards of Safety Excellence, which are presented to companies with both lost time and DART rates half the national average or less.

Keynote speaker Robert Maddux emphasized that owners and developers must make safety a priority, just as their contractors do.

“Everybody is our client’s client,” he said, “treat them that way,” referring to one of KDC’s philosophy on safety. “As developers for some of the country’s most important companies — including State Farm here in Atlanta — we must be involved from day one in the safety of the people we hire to build these jobs,” he said.

The event was sponsored by champion sponsors American Global, Juneau Construction, Parrish Construction Group, Sluss+Padgett, Bo Phillips Co., FortuneJohnson General Contractors and Miller & Martin, as well as event sponsors Building Point Southeast, Fly & Form Structures, PlanGrid and United Forming.

AGC: Construction Employment Up By 13,000 Jobs in June Construction employment increased by 13,000 jobs in June and by 282,000 jobs over the past year, reaching a 10year high, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America.

Association officials said many construction firms appear to be more willing to hire amid lower tax rates and a more favorable business environment, but caution that trade fights and labor shortages pose risks to future growth.

“The construction industry continues to add workers faster than the economy as a whole, and the industry is paying premium wages to attract and retain those workers,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “The employment gains are occurring in both residential and nonresidential construction. However, the industry is having to rely more and more on workers without construction experience, as the pool of unemployed construction workers has nearly evaporated.”

Construction employment totaled 7.2 million in June, the highest level since May 2008 and a gain of 4.1 percent over the past 12 months. The economist pointed out that the yearover-year growth rate in industry jobs was more than double the 1.6 percent rise in total nonfarm payroll employment.

Hourly earnings in the industry averaged $29.71 in June, an increase of 2.9 percent from a year earlier. That put average hourly earnings in construction 10.1 percent higher than the average for all nonfarm private-sector jobs, which rose 2.7 percent in the past year, to $26.98, Simonson added.

The unemployment for workers with construction experience in June was 4.7 percent, virtually unchanged from the levels in June 2017 (4.5 percent) and June 2016 (4.6 percent) — a sign that the industry is operating at essentially full employment, Simonson said.

Employment in residential construction — comprising residential building and specialty trade contractors — grew by 4,400 jobs in June and by 133,800 jobs over the past 12 months, a 5.0 percent increase. Employment in nonresidential construction — including building, specialty trades, and heavy and civil engineering construction — grew by 8,600 jobs in June and by 147,900 during the past year, a 3.5 percent increase.

Association officials observed that construction employers appear more eager to hire amid lower taxes and increased efforts to reduce needless or ineffective regulatory burdens.

They added that recent increased infrastructure investments at the federal and state level also are helping boost construction employment. But they cautioned that workforce shortages, tariffs and a looming trade war could undermine future construction employment gains.

“The steps Congress and the Trump administration have taken to create a more positive business environment and boost employment appear to be working,” Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer, said. “But new trade disputes and chronic underfunding of career and technical education programs pose a real threat to continued employment gains in the sector.”

Starting an International Timber Production Operation

By Andrew Dargatz BRAND MARKETING MANAGER, CASE CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

Founded in the winter of 2017, Integrated Forest Resources of South Carolina is, by all accounts, a brand new company — but they have a strong history in forestry and land management.

“I went to school to study forestry at Clemson University.

Graduated in 1994,” explained Trip Chavis, president of Integrated Forest Resources (IFR). “And I’ve been in forestry ever since in some form or fashion.”

Seeing low demand in local markets and an opportunity to market timber to international buyers, Chavis developed a partnership with a landowner with more than 14,000 acres of timber and several logging companies in order to get the operation started.

“We have an extensive background in land management and a very good understanding of what the wood markets and supply look like in South Carolina, and we recognized the need in the market to increase consumption of standing timber — specifically saw wood — and had a land owner here that was willing to participate with us, and decided we were going to make a go of it.”

“As we unload log trucks, how many grabs is that going to take as we move these logs around? Obviously the more trips we have to make, the more inefficient we are, so the capacity of the machines was probably the biggest consideration. Hills Machinery helped me walk through all of that.”

Working with Hills, Chavis decided to build his fleet with Case equipment, including a CX290D excavator/material handler and a 1021G wheel loader.

“The wheel loader is unloading log trucks that come to the yard, then taking that and placing it in a staging area where the material handler will sort according to size. Then the wheel loader will come back and place those sorted logs in their proper location in the yard.”

grapple and the elevated cab was particularly of interest to me. We knew we had criteria for mobility and capacity with regard to weight. With the expansiveness of this yard, the raised cab is going to be an asset that will serve us well.”

Advances in diesel engine technology have led to significant improvements in fuel efficiency, and Chavis says that the CX290D is performing even better than estimated in the original business plan.

“I think the fuel consumption has been probably 25 percent less than what I anticipated. It means everything in a new operation when I've got to spend 25 percent less in fuel in a month. That means everything. Long-term it could be very significant. I don't anticipate that changing.”

CX290D Material Handler In order to sort piles of lumber throughout the day, Chavis needed a machine that was both powerful and nimble, with good visibility. The CX290D is a machine that is specifically configured for material handling and features a 177 hp Tier IV Final engine, a hydraulically controlled elevating cab and a longer arm and boom with optimized hydraulic circuits for heavy-duty attachments.

“It had to be mobile, we knew that we couldn't have a stationary loader. We knew we had to have something with a

1021G Wheel Loader When it comes to unloading log trucks and moving timber all day, power, speed, safety and fuel economy are the factors that most influenced machine selection. Chavis chose a Case 1021G wheel loader with a heavy-duty log grapple to help his growing operation.

“We knew we were going to have to unload a log truck, and the less trips we've got to make to unload that log truck, the less time the driver has got to wait for us to unload his see TIMBER page 76

Acres of Opportunity IFR began its operation on a small yard in partnership with a single logging company. Working in tandem with the loggers, IFR moves cut timber and loads it into containers for international shipping. Quickly outgrowing the area, IFR now operates on a 22-acre plot of land.

“To start our operation we moved in with a logger. They would cut the wood, they'd sort it and then physically drag the wood over to our deck, and then we'd pick it up and load it in a container.”

“We were in a very limited space, less than an acre. We've got 22 acres here now. We outgrew that very quickly. It was the best way for us to hit the ground running and gave us some time to prepare this location, where we'll have to accommodate a much larger supply.”

No Easy Task With cut timber coming in faster and faster, IFR is challenged with keeping the operation going in order to maximize its profits — all while perfecting the process on the fly.

Chavis discusses the challenges of starting this type of operation from the ground up.

“It was a learning curve that was like nothing I've ever experienced. However, because of the speed of things, the way the wood is coming in and the demand for the containers going out, you adapt quickly. It's generally one problem at a time, and you tackle this problem and you find another problem, but the problem usually generates a solution to a much more long-range success. Each of these challenges that we've run into have been challenges but they have also been learning experiences that I think will help us in the long run.”

One of the most critical components of the new business is its heavy equipment. Chavis called Jim Hills of Hills Machinery Company when it came time to outfit the new yard.

“I called Jim Hills and Charlie [Mengedoht] and they came by and we talked about the demands. Weight was a big consideration, how we're going to move the wood around and how much wood the wheel loader with the log grapple in particular could hold.

With cut timber coming in faster and faster, IFR is challenged with keeping the operation going in order to maximize its profit.

One Hospitalized After Miami Beach Building Collapse

By Emily Buenzle CEG WEB EDITOR

A 12-story building collapsed in Miami Beach on the morning of July 23, injuring at least one person.

There is no indication yet as to what may have caused the collapse of the empty, 55-year-old Marlborough House condominiums, the Miami Herald reported.

The building was scheduled for demolition so a new, 19story residential tower could be built on the site after it was purchased by Brazilian developer Jose Isaac Peres.

According to police, the building did have a demolition permit, but not an implosion permit, CNN reported. It is still unclear whether or not crews imploded the structure.

The injured individual was treated at Jackson Memorial Hospital.

LeeBoy Displays Gratitude to Local Lincoln County Sheriffs VT LeeBoy seized the opportunity to show its extreme appreciation and gratitude when approached by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, in Lincolnton, N.C., with a specialized paint project. Due to the executive order reinstating the 1033 Program, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was the recipient of a military surplus Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. Upon arrival the MRAP vehicle paint scheme was desert tan reflecting its many tours in the Middle East. By requirement of the 1033 Program, the paint needed to be modified for local law enforcement use.

The Sheriff’s Office desired to see the newly acquired MRAP vehicle painted a flat-black color to match its other fleet vehicles.

“Sheriff David Carpenter and his officers have been onsite at the LeeBoy facility countless times to provide support to our company and we jumped at the opportunity to return the favor,” said Shannon Seymour, VP of operations.

Since LeeBoy’s relocation to the Lincoln County Industrial Park in June 2006, the Lincoln Country Sheriff’s Office has been involved in providing LeeBoy with security details for special events, active-shooter and emergency response training, responses to after hour alarm calls, security analysis and escort services among other activities.

The proposal to paint the MRAP vehicle at no-cost to the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was quickly approved by management and the project commenced.

Gary Beaver, paint production manager at LeeBoy, strategically estimated his 12-person team would have approximately 80 hours and 20 gallons of paint invested in the project. LeeBoy’s paint booth features modern equipment and boasts of a large foot-print that would easily accommodate the MRAP vehicle, however, the floor gates within the paint booth required the installation of additional support structures to handle the 40,000 lb. MRAP vehicle.

“When contacting our vendor Sherwin Williams to purchase the specialized flat black paint and telling our local sales representative about the exciting project, I was grateful

The MRAP vehicle was formally presented to the Lincoln County Sherriff’s Office on June 11, 2018.

A brief ceremony was held at the LeeBoy manufacturing facility in which Sheriff David Carpenter thanked Gary Beaver and the LeeBoy paint team for their hard work and dedication to the project. A plaque of appreciation also was presented.

when they offered to donate the paint in order to show their company’s support as well,” Beaver said.

Once the vehicle arrived it was partially disassembled and heavily taped to ensure the exterior shell, door openings, door jams, rear entrance hatch and all visible details were adequately covered in the flat black paint.

was held at the LeeBoy manufacturing facility in which Carpenter thanked Gary Beaver and the LeeBoy paint team for their hard work and dedication to the project. A plaque of appreciation was also presented.

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office will be using the MRAP vehicle to provide armor protection to officers during high risk, hostile environments with armed subjects. The MRAP also can be utilized during natural disasters as a high water rescue vehicle due to the capabilities and weight of the vehicle.

Designed for use on granular materials and all types of asphalt-mix designs, the Cat CW16 pneumatic (rubber-tire) roller is available as a standard nine-wheel model with a 69in. (175 cm) compaction width or as an optional 11-wheel model with an 84-in. (213 cm) compaction width. The CW16 is designed for efficient performance on highways, city streets, county roads, lane additions, industrial sites, overlays or other mid-size jobs.

Depending on ballast used (including water, sand, steel or combinations), operating weight of the CW16 varies from an 11,464-lb. (5,200 kg) base configuration to an approximate maximum weight of 33,000-lbs. (15,000 kg) for the ninewheel configuration and 32,850-lbs. (14,900 kg) for the 11wheel configuration. Operating weight can be adjusted to suit job requirements. Per-wheel weight can be varied from 1,280-lbs. (580 kg) to 3,680-lbs. (1,670 kg) for the ninewheel model and from 1,060-lbs. (480 kg) to 2,975-lbs.

(1,350 kg) for the 11-wheel model.

Oscillating front wheels assist in compacting soft voids across the entire machine width and the 11-wheel configuration increases efficiency in chip-and-seal applications. A tire overlap of 1.25-in. (3.2 cm) ensures even compaction across the surface. Each wheel is equipped with self-adjusting scrapers and a water-spray system deters material from adhering to the wheel surface. Standard cocoa mats help retain water to keep wheels wet, and heat-retention aprons are available.

The CW16’s pressurized water-spray system is designed with dedicated spray nozzles for each wheel. The system includes a single water pump, triple filtration, and adjustable intermittent operation. Triple filtration (with filters at the fill point), in conjunction with the design of the water pump and spray nozzles, provides protection against clogs. The

adjustable intermittent-spray mode conserves water and reduces the number of refills required, adding to the CW16’s efficiency.

Two engines are available for the CW16 to meet regional emissions requirements. The Cat C3.4B ACERT engine meets U.S. EPA Tier IV Final/EU Stage IV standards, and the Cat C4.4 meets the equivalent of U.S. EPA Tier III/EU Stage IIIA/China NR III standards. An Eco-mode, in combination with an exclusive automatic speed-control system, is designed to save fuel, lower sound levels, and deliver smooth transitions for optimum mat quality. Both engines are rated at 101.9 hp (75 kW).

The CW16’s two-speed hydrostatic propel system is electronically controlled and designed to provide both jobsite maneuverability and speeds up to 12 mph (19 kmh). The propel system automatically shifts between speed ranges and has a coast feature that conserves fuel. Tire choices include a 12-ply 7.5 x 15 radial or a 14-ply 7.5 x 15 bias-ply.

The CW16 is designed to provide exceptional visibility for the operator, the result of a newly designed console and the machine's standard, rotating operator's station. An LCD display and push-button controls simplify operation for an all-around comfortable operating environment. A ROPS canopy or sun canopy are available.

The standard, 500-hour, engine-oil-service interval reduces both routine-maintenance time and overall operating costs. The CW16's large-capacity hydraulic- and enginecooling systems keep components at optimum temperatures, even in high ambient temperatures, extending service life for such critical components as hydraulic pumps and motors.

Backhoe Loaders Popular as Multi-Purpose Machines

By Eric Olson CEG CORRESPONDENT

on a job site and easily transport that piece from site-to-site.

“Depending on the job and application, some customers just can’t get by without a backhoe, or multiple ones, on their jobs,” Hennings continued.

“In utility work and roadside construction, where Brian Hennings you need to get up and down the site easily and John Deere quickly, you can equip a backhoe with a hammer on the back and break up concrete or asphalt, then excavate that material and compact it with a plate compactor — all while using the same machine.”

John Deere offers seven different backhoe loader models, including the 310SL HL, the company’s newest backhoe in its 14-ft.-depth lineup.

Hennings said John Deere’s engineers took a lot from what they had learned from its large machines to add productivity to the line of backhoes and the newest model bridges the lineup between the smaller 210 models and the larger 410Ls. “The hydraulics are the heart of the new machine as they provide operators with greater multi-functioning capability, so they can run it at a lower engine RPM load when using the rear structure to dig, as well as with greater horsepower than the 310SL,” he explained.

Additional features on the 310SL are that in lift mode, at the push of a button, an operator can get another 10 to 15 percent greater lift capacity in the rear structure. For roadway applications, such as lifting street plates or manhole covers, this one machine can do those tasks without having to re-position it for longer reach and capacity.

John Deere is among several companies that supply the U.S. market with backhoe loaders, a list that includes: JCB, Caterpillar, Case and Mecalac, a French-based producer of equipment dedicated to urban construction.

Backhoe-loader technology was pioneered

by JCB in 1953, and it is now one of the world’s top makers of the product.

The British multi-national manufacturer builds its machines for the U.S. market in Pooler, Ga., just outside Savannah. Seven different models are produced in its Georgia plant, including the industry’s only compact model (the 3CX Compact) and the largest (the new 4CX-15 SUPER).

In addition to a 2-year/2,000-hour bucketto-bucket warranty, JCB backhoe loaders have set high standards for five crucial attributes by which all backhoes are measured: productivity, versatility, comfort, safety and serviceability.

“Today, backhoe customers enjoy real value with these small machines.”

Versatility is a valuable commodity in the construction business.

Just like a football player who can run and pass from scrimmage, is a reliable pass-receiver and can return kicks, a machine that can handle multiple tasks on a job site is highly-prized.

Backhoe loaders are the small, multi-purpose running backs of the building industry. They are constructed with a front loader on one side, a backhoe on the other end and a cab in the middle with a swiveling seat to allow the operator to switch between applications.

Backhoes also deliver power and precise handling when operating in areas where using larger equipment is not practical.

Their very design gives them an ungainly look, but that is forgotten once they are in action and their productivity on display.

Contractors can purchase Backhoes deliver power and precise handling. or rent one of the workhorse vehicles to perform a range of tasks, effectively saving Adam Phillips of Mecalac believes them from having to obtain several specialty machines backhoes will remain popular to do what is needed. due to their ability to drive That, of course, leads to lower costs for builders and to the work sites. that, along with being able to put backhoe loaders in tandem with other equipment, makes them an inviting choice to use on a project.

Backhoes a Must for Many Contractors Just like bigger machines found on a typical construction job, backhoe loaders can be seen doing trenching, excavating, demolition work, breaking up asphalt and paving and landscaping. They do these tasks so well because they can be equipped with different attachments, including various-sized buckets, augers, brooms, cold planers, forks, hammers, plows and vibratory plate compactors.

Depending on the load size, backhoes can handle most material-handling jobs, too.

Beyond the construction site, backhoes work extensively in many other applications, including forestry, agriculture, disaster response and railroad building and maintenance. Once working within those applications, they can then be used to do another subset of different jobs, as well.

In operation for more than 60 years, their utility is obvious the first time you see one in operation, said Brian Hennings, John Deere’s product marketing manager for backhoes.

“Today, backhoe customers enjoy real value with these small machines,” he explained. “With their high lifting and hauling capability, you can do more with one machine This John Deere 310SL HL backhoe is hard at work on a job site.

Mecalac North America was established in 2016 and, since then, the veteran French manufacturer has seen brisk sales of its various construction equipment models, including a line-up of six backhoe loaders.

CROSBY EQUIPMENT COMPANY, INC. BACKHOE from page 54

The best example of those key traits can be found on the 4CX-15 SUPER, the largest backhoe in the JCB range.

Introduced last year, it is powered by a 109-hp engine, while producing impressive bucket breakout force and pushing power, as well as lifting capacity.

In addition, it is designed with four equal-sized tires, which provide high ground clearance and traction, and four-wheel steer capability for enhanced maneuverability. The machine also sports a host of performance, comfort, safety and efficiency enhancements that enable it to tackle loading operations.

Standard equipment on the JCB 4CX-15 SUPER includes JCB’s lineup of automated features on its engine, transmission, suspension and boom lock (joystick controls only). LiveLink telematics also are on-board.

The JCB backhoe also features more productive and easier-to use parallellift loader arms.

An Emphasis on Operator Ease-of-Use Engineers at each of the backhoe makers devise their vehicles to minimize operator fatigue and enable greater productivity. Spacious and comfortable cabs are the norm in the 2018 backhoe marketplace and ergonomically-designed controls are built to be within easy reach for an operator.

Mecalac North America was established in 2016 and, since then, the veteran French manufacturer has seen brisk sales of its various construction equipment models, including a line-up of six backhoe loaders.

Their engineers, too, have worked to optimize the comfort and ease for a backhoe operator.

“We always try to keep a low bonnet [hood] line and clean lines of site to the working attachments for the best possible visibility,” explained Mecalac’s Adam Phillips. “Camera options are becoming more popular whether they are used for reversing to aid hazard awareness or forward-facing to aid fork engagement for pallet work.”

Ergonomics within the cab are designed to ensure the backhoe operator has everything he needs close at hand, Phillips added, and can achieve all tasks with the minimum effort.

Servo excavator controls on the machines have grown in popularity over the years as they reduce stress on the operator.

“Other developments are the inclusion of forward, neutral and reverse switches on the loader lever to make loading cycle quicker and easier,” he continued. “The Mecalac steering column is adjustable for both reach and rake to ensure the operator can achieve his perfect driving position for maximum comfort whilst he’s at work.”

In recent years, backhoe loaders, like other large and small excavators, have evolved to the point that their joystick

excavator controls are smooth, easy to use and provide excellent feel to the hydraulic system.

“Beginning with our 310SL HL,” said John Deere’s Brian Hennings, “we introduced the palm-on-top loader-control grip, so that additional features could be handled with one control, while keeping the operators’ line-ofsite in front of them. It has a 4-in-1 bucket with a thumb-roller control, meaning it has an easy-to-operate front loader clamshell until opened or closed.”

He also points with pride to John Deere’s momentary four-wheel drive control, allowing an operator to use a push button to effortlessly kick the backhoe loader in and out of fourwheel drive or mechanical front-wheel drive on the front-wheel control. In addition, the 410SL HL is equipped with a clutch disconnect that can momentarily pause the transmission — a handy feature in truck-loading or stockpiling applications or stockpiling.

“We have always tried to get a deep understanding of what customers need and what their various applications are,” Hennings explained. “We take that information and use it to develop new ways to give our backhoe customers added versatility, productive and, above all, reliability. We realize that time is critical for our construction customers on a job site, regardless of the project.” see BACKHOE page 66

IT MAY BE COMPACT, BUT ITS REACH IS WORLDWIDE.

Step into a Kubota excavator and it’s easy to see why it earned the title of #1 selling compact excavator in the world*.

Six heating and cooling vents and an easy-open front window provide the kind of comfort that keeps operators in the cab and getting the work done. Minimum tail swing, industry-leading bucket breakout force and an optional quick coupler are just some of the additional features that give the Kubota compact excavator such a huge reputation.

The Dynamic Dynahoe!

Keith Haddock Traces the History of the Dynahoe, One of the Largest Loader-Backhoes Ever Built.

The loader-backhoe is still one of the most popular and visible of all types of construction machines. It reigned as the mainstay of mechanized utility work over some twoand-a-half decades after first finding popularity in the 1950s. With the advent of miniexcavators, increased popularity of skid steer loaders, and an abundance of companies making compact-sized machines, the loaderbackhoe still survives. It possesses multitask capabilities not found in the competition, and often able to complete all tasks on small jobs with just the one machine. It’s able to do the excavating, loading, lifting, backfilling and cleanup, and when finished can take off by road to a nearby job without waiting for lowboy or trailer.

The Hy-Dynamic Company of Lake Bluff, Ill., was one of many companies entering the loader-backhoe market in the 1950s. In 1959 it introduced its first machine, the famous Dynahoe loader-backhoe, a machine quite different from anything else on the market. Competitive loaderbackhoes had originated as agricultural wheel tractors and were generally much smaller in capacity and lightly built. But the unique Dynahoe was heavily built from the ground up as an excavating machine, and the largest of its type on the market. The average loader-backhoe in the early 1970s had a digging depth from 14 to 17 ft., an 80-hp engine, and weighed 10 tons. In contrast, the largest Dynahoe boasted a digging depth of 20 ft., carried a 155-hp engine, and weighed 16 tons.

One of the first Dynahoe models was the Model A, which came equipped with a Continental F-244 gasoline engine developing 65 hp. The Model AD was also offered with 65-hp Continental HD-277 diesel engine. Maximum digging depth was 13 ft. and backhoe loading height 12 ft. Operating weight was just over 6 tons.

Hy-Dynamic certainly set out to produce something superior to anything else available. Even this early design from 1959 sported a neat efficient backhoe linkage, integrated design and massive frame. Of course this concept and philosophy resulted in a relatively high purchase price, and consequently the Dynahoe never sold in huge quantities throughout its production life. But it served a niche market for the contractor who wanted extra capacity, production and mobility.

In 1966 Hy-Dynamic upgraded its Dynahoe models and launched a new range of machines with a 3-digit nomenclature, the first two digits indicating digging depth in feet. Models A and AD were replaced by the model 140, and other models in the new lineup included the short-lived 120 and 130 (discontinued by 1968), and the larger 160.

In 1968 the 190 and 200-4 models were ¾ cu.yds.

BACKHOE from page 56

Special Machines for Special Uses To upgrade their machines to handle a myriad of different applications and specialty uses, backhoe-makers are always reshaping their machines for improved productivity, said Ed Brenton, brand marketing manager of Case Construction Equipment.

“We have recently introduced several enhancements to our N-series line of backhoe loaders — improvements to the cab and drivetrain, as well as to the electrical and hydraulic systems — that make these already versatile machines even more robust and productive,” Brenton explained in a recent press release.

Several features that were once extra have been made standard on Case’s machines, such as its fuel-economy package. That includes ECO mode switches for both the loader and backhoe functions, allowing for greater fuel savings, optimal power and greater performance, Brenton continued. N-Series backhoe loaders now sport an all-new Pilot Control hydraulic system for optimal precision and smoothness, offering the operator more control in applications where precision is critical.

Backhoe loaders can be configured in many ways to suit specialty applications. Options like sirens/PA systems, high-visibility paint, strobes, LED light bars, remote spotlights and advanced lighting packages improve visibility and effectiveness in most situations.

Brenton also said many railroad contractors use specially-equipped back-

hoes in their operations. Access to work areas is a major challenge in the industry and having a tool carrier that serves as a platform for numerous applications is critical. Plus, they are utilized to help place, move and shift railroad tracks.

“In railroad applications, backhoes are typically outfitted with a bucket for moving ballast, dirt and other materials, and a set of long forks for moving bundles of railroad ties and other supplies,” he added. “Some backhoes can be outfitted with universal couplers that allow the machine to handle attachments from other OEMs.” Case’s new Extendahoe option on the N-Series of backhoes allows them to reach farther away from the base of the machine, allowing more work to get done without moving the vehicle.

In addition, it improves access at sites where the backhoe base can’t get too close to the tracks. The Case 580 Super N, for instance, achieves more than 3 ft. of additional reach with the feature.

Contractors and operators always want to see more reach from their backhoe loaders or excavators, whatever the use, but that often causes other problems. Engineers at each manufacturer have been kept busy over the years finding solutions to these problems, resulting in greatly improved backhoe capability.

“The challenge of improving reach is that it could come at a compromise to stability,” said Adam Phillips at Mecalac. “To improve the stability of the machine it would require an increase in mass — whether this would be a larger excavator or the addition of

counter weights, it could result in a machine that is greater than 10 tonnes.”

Cat Backhoes Both Resourceful, Productive For digging, trenching, back-filling and material handling capability, the Caterpillar line of backhoe loaders is certainly strong.

To illustrate that, the Cat F2 series of backhoes are both highly resourceful and spacious. The five models in the line join the other new Cat backhoes available, the 416E and the 127-hp 450F, with a 17-ft.-dig-depth.

With two engine offerings and a range of power ratings, the Cat F2s feature powerful hydraulics and lifting performance. A hydro-mechanical tool with combined function auxiliary lines or a hydraulic thumb to increase the functionality of the machine also can be added.

Each model in the F2 series (415F2, 415F2 IL, 414F2, 416F2, 420F2 and 430F2) have a completely redesigned cab that offers improved visibility, better cooling, greater seat-turning area and ample storage space. Plus, improved sealing against the elements and an enhanced security keypad immobilizer are on board. Operators receive both the room to move and a clear field of vision while working.

The dual-lock backhoe coupler on the F2s is another key benefit. With this advanced machine, the operator doesn’t need to get out of the cab to install a locking bar or pins when connecting buckets with the hydraulic see BACKHOE page 68

‘Wain-Roy and the Invention of the Backhoe’ Backhoe Versatility Author Horton Talks Industry, Writing Suggests Prolonged Industry Popularity

By Lee A. Horton SPECIAL TO CEG

I have worked in the Construction Equipment Industry for over a third of a century. A good portion of that time, I was the Director of Engineering for Wain-Roy Inc., and then Woods Equipment Company of Hubbardston and Gardner, Mass., where the original backhoe was invented and first manufactured. As such, I was fortunate to work with some of the original WainRoy men and women who played a large role in developing the backhoe and promoting its widespread use.

Prior to Wain-Roy, I worked as Principal Engineer for Komatsu, which was previously Komatsu-Dresser, Dresser and International Harvester Payline Division, located in Libertyville, Ill. This was the original Frank G. Hough Company where the first hydraulic wheel loaders where invented and manufactured. I worked with people there who were involved in the engineering work that attached some of the first Wain-Roy backhoes to Hough Payloaders, thus creating the first tractor loader backhoes (TLB’s).

I was surprised to discover that two companies were accredited with the invention and development of the backhoe, and the tractor loader backhoe. Several books, magazines and websites state or imply that J.I. Case on the U.S. side, and JCB of the United Kingdom were the first to develop the backhoe. In my years of work at Wain-Roy, I learned that it was the employees of Wain-Roy who were the original inventors of the first backhoe, the first all-hydraulic digger, and the creation of the first tractor loader backhoe. A search of patents shows a clear chronology of invention and innovation lead by the people of the Wain-Roy Corporation.

They invented the first allhydraulic digger, the first swing A 1954 brochure.

frame, the first stabilizing outriggers, the first reversible seat, and many other major first developments, including the first thumb. Having known some of the key employees at both Wain-Roy and the Frank G. Hough Company, and having researched the patents, I felt that it was my important duty to make sure that this story was told, and the history behind it corrected.

I have worked with many of the key people mentioned in this book. I knew Roy Handy and Ken Russell when they were alive. During the writing of this book I was able to interview some of the other key people involved in the invention of the backhoe such as Carroll Arnold, Roger Vaughan, Charlie Clark and Edwin Holopainen. Their personal accounts of the backhoe story bring a dimension of reality to the rich history long forgotten.

My goal in writing this book is that history is corrected, and the invention of the backhoe, the first tractor loader backhoe, and the first hydraulic digger is properly accredited to Vaino Holopainen, Roy Handy and the people of Wain-Roy Corporation, and that they receive the full credit that they deserve. I am sure that the surrounding related history of the company and the town of Hubbardston will be of interest to people in the Construction Equipment Industry and others alike.

The book “Wain-Roy and the Invention of the Backhoe” is available now and can be ordered direct from www.originalbackhoe.com or on Amazon.

Even beyond the construction site, backhoes work extensively in many other applications, including forestry, agriculture, disaster response and railroad building and maintenance.

coupler. Additionally, the secondary locking system automatically engages when a tool is attached. The coupler’s secure grip on each work tool helps to lower both owning and operating costs.

Load-sensing hydraulics on the Cat line of backhoes maintain maximum power and precision operation in both its Standard and Economy Mode. The upgraded hydraulics provide more power faster, along with quicker hydraulic output — even at low engine speeds. The line runs at the appropriate speed for the given application. The variable flow system adroitly matches the pressure and flow output of the pump to the demands of each job, as opposed to fixed-displacement pump systems on some backhoes that constantly pump oil, wasting large amounts of fuel.

Will Backhoe Loaders Remain Popular?

Many contractors have begun using more specialized machines like mini-excavators and skid steers for jobs that used to belong to backhoe loaders. Although still a generalpurpose tool, the important question seems to be: Will backhoes continue to play a significant role in most construction and forestry projects?

Adam Phillips of Mecalac firmly believes that they will.

“There are two things that a backhoe really has in its favor,” he said. “First, the ability to drive to the work site removes the need for a truck or trailer to haul it, which makes it perfect for owner-operators that serve the local community.

As they also are compact, they can drive to small job sites that might be hard for other vehicles.

“Second, the versatility that a backhoe offers is still hard to match,” Phillips continued. “It can achieve almost everything required by most job sites. An excavator may be able to dig a trench a little quicker than a backhoe, but the loader bucket will do a basement dig far quicker and load the trucks (This story also can be found in the process.

When St. Mary’s originally

began, it had a sister organization in Shrevesport called Holy Angels, McNulty said. Children were admitted into Holy Angels from birth to the age of 3 and then transitioned to St. Mary’s for their school years until the ages of 21. About a decade ago, instead of the facility being a transition period, the board of directors agreed to provide a bed for the individuals for life.

“Dormitories, when it was a pit stop in your life, that is OK,” McNulty said. “But when you have someone who is going to be here for life, dormitories became an issue.

We are happy to provide this housing for some of Louisiana’s most vulnerable residents. There is one resident who came into our office every single day and asked when construction for the group home will begin.

When the ground breaking was given a concrete date, he had the biggest smile on his face. This particular resident, along with the other disabled individuals in the dormitories, cannot wait to have their own personal space.”

The completion date for this project is June 2019.

truck, [and] the less fuel we're burning unloading that truck.

We knew the particular log grapple that we had identified needed to mesh obviously with the wheel [loader]. Again, it came down to a solid recommendation from [Hills Machinery].”

“After having gone through this now for a couple of months, we've absolutely got the right machinery on the yard and would anticipate having additional machinery. Really, we could use another wheel loader to be at our top efficiency.”

Planned Maintenance and Machine Support The CX290D and 1021G both come standard with Case ProCare, a suite of product assurances that includes a threeyear Advanced Case SiteWatch telematics subscription; a three-year/3,000-hour full-machine factory warranty; and a three-year/3,000-hour planned maintenance contract.

“That was actually a big factor to us. We didn't want to be bogged down with scheduling maintenance and worried about a machine running out of warranty while it was on our yard, and that was actually a huge factor in our decision.

“Hills monitors the hours that are on our machines and any other analytics that are important to them. Without us having to make a phone call to say ‘hey we're at our 100-hour mark,’ they're calling us and they're coming out and performing maintenance on the machines. Making sure they're running properly, as well as the routine stuff like oil changes and hydraulic fluid.”

“They've not only been a vendor to us, but they've been a partner. Charlie, our sales rep, has just been golden to us; he picks up the phone when you call him, and there’s always a response when you need something in a very timely manner.”

With the right people, the right equipment and a business model that is poised for growth, IFR is already planning to expand its operation.

“Once we figure out how many containers we can efficiently load without breaking the machines or our people, then we'll simply duplicate that process. We'll add two more machines and four more people and create another line. We can do that here; we've got enough room. That's our expansion plan.”

“I think we're just trying to make a difference in the timber markets in South Carolina, and we know we've got a resource that's plentiful here; we've learned to grow trees faster and more efficiently than ever before. The wood keeps on growing, so we better find a way to merchandise it in a way that's responsible.”

This article is written and presented in loving memory of Charlie Mengedoht of Hills Machinery, who proudly served Integrated Forest Resources and all of his clients throughout the Carolinas.

Working with Hills, Chavis decided to build his fleet with Case equipment, including a CX290D excavator/material handler and a 1021G wheel loader.

The CX290D is a machine that is specifically configured for material handling and features a 177 hp Tier IV Final engine, a hydraulically controlled elevating cab and a longer arm and boom with optimized hydraulic circuits for heavy-duty attachments.

Odebrecht Construction USA Wraps Up Miami-Dade Project KROME from page 1

ing signage, lighting and traffic signals. The SW 8 Street/Tamiami Trail section is realigning the intersection; widening the bridge over the C-4 Tamiami Canal; and upgrading signage, lighting and traffic signals.

“This project is part of the overall plan for Krome Avenue,” said Ossie Larrazabal, FDOT’s senior project engineer with Solid Consultant Engineers Inc. “The enhancements to Krome Avenue will increase safety along the corridor and provide a better commute to residents in south Miami-Dade County.”

The new infrastructure was designed by Marlin Engineering.

“Access to important stakeholders such as the Miccosukee Resort and Gaming Facility, Krome Detention Center, Dade Corners gas station and CEMEX plant had to be maintained at all times,” Larrazabal said. “The team worked hand-inhand with the stakeholders to schedule the work during low impact hours to minimize disruptions.”

The existing roadway had cracks and other pavement issues at certain locations.

As the work has wound down, so have the traffic impacts. Permanent work zones were established along the corridor to maintain one lane of traffic open in both directions. The contractor recently opened both northbound and southbound travel lanes. Temporary daytime and nighttime lane closures will continue through the remainder of the project during off peak hours to minimize impacts to the community.

“Maintaining traffic flow is critical,” Larrazabal said. “This is an important route for commuters and the trucking community. There’s been a lot of coordination between the team, contractor and county to keep the traffic moving.”

In terms of remaining work, Odebrecht has to finish placing the final layer of asphalt and complete lighting and signalization items throughout the corridor.

“It’s such a long corridor, so staying organized and on top of the sequence of work has been key,” said Rogers Cruz, Odebrecht’s project manager. “We’ve had to coordinate well in advance with our subcontractors to make sure everyone has work to do to stay on schedule.

There’s been lots of meetings.”

“The team meets daily to discuss

ongoing work and upcoming milestones, so we’ve really gotten to know each other well,” said Larrazabal. “We are also fortunate to have had numerous opportunities for the crew to participate in on-the-job training programs to learn new skills.”

Peak days saw close to 30 construction workers on-site. Major subcontractors include: General Asphalt for pavement; Florida Sol for signal and lighting; JonesBenitez for bridge construction, Barreiro Construction for concrete placement; Agland for sod placement; AMROADS for pavement markings; and Bob’s Barricades for maintenance of traffic devices.

Materials excavated and removed from the site include: 7 mi. of the old roadway; 700 linear ft. of the old bulkhead canal wall; and 270,000 cu. yd. of earthwork.

New materials include more than 65,000 tons of asphalt; two million cu. yd. of earth work; 2,000 cu. yd. of concrete; and 150,000 lb. of steel.

For the project, Odebrecht has been using: three cranes, six excavators, four dozers, four loaders, five rollers and two pavers, which includes Cat, John Deere and Kenworh equipment. Odebrecht purchases and rents equipment from dealerships such as Kelly Tractor, Nortrax, Herc Rentals, United Rental, Neff, Synergy Rents, Action Rentals, Meco Miami and Trekker.

“We’ve observed most wear and tear issues with moving parts,” said Cruz, “such as bucket teeth and blades that break down all the time.

It is also very common to get flat tires on equipment. It usually takes a day to repair these minor issues. All the equipment is under warranty or a service contract. The mechanics come to the jobsite on an as needed basis.”

The work on Krome Avenue, once the current project is completed, will resume in early 2019 and be completed in the summer of 2020.

The $42.7 million project will cover the area between SW 136 Street and SW 232 Street.

The work includes: rebuilding and widening of Krome from a twolane roadway to a four-lane roadway divided by a 40-ft. grassed median; providing a drainage system and lighting along the length of the project; installing guardrail in the median along the length of the project;

providing adequate access management and improving traffic operations throughout the corridor; installing guardrail in the median along the length of the project; and building a new bridge over the C102 canal.

The general contractor for the project is Halley Engineering Contractors Inc., with construction engineering and inspection services to be provided by The Corradino Group.

“The upcoming project is a continuation of the 36-mile corridor improvements,” said Heather Leslie, community outreach specialist of the project, who helps FDOT with communications on road projects.

“These projects have been in the works since 1999 and will continue to address safety, flooding, water quality, economic competitiveness and preservation of the existing roadway. The Department wants to ensure a safe and reliable road for the residents and commuters in this area.”
