Growing Customer Base Spurs New Dealer Hub…12

By Cindy Riley

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is overseeing an $866 million designbuild project that calls for a new southbound/westbound interstate bridge over Old Tampa Bay between Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. Construction began in October 2020, with an estimated completion date of 2025. “There are two bridges that carry interstate traffic over Old Tampa Bay,” said FDOT spokesperson Kris Carson. “The bridge currently carryCEG CORRESPONDENT

ing northbound traffic was built in 1959. It’s being replaced, in part, due to the continually increasing cost to maintain it in the corrosive environment. It also does not meet current design standards.” The new bridge will be built north of the current southbound bridge. The current southbound bridge will become the new northbound lanes. The new structure will consist of eight lanes; four general use lanes, (Tampa to St. Petersburg) and four express lanes; two lanes from the St. see TAMPA page 38

When Heather Thompson and her thenpartner, Brian Hux, decided to open a business together in 2010, they, like most small-business newbies, started off quite humbly. In their case, that meant renting a pickup

truck by the hour, lining the bed with plywood and going to Charlotte-area asphalt plants to load it with hot asphalt, despite being warned not to by the vendors. They did not yet know that telling Thompson she should not do something only spurs her forward and usually leads to a successful outcome. see B&N page 42

KOMATSU APPOINTS POWER EQUIPMENT COMPANY NEW DEALER IN ARKANSAS

When Brian Woods decided to leave college early and start his own one-man construction service company in 2003, he began by performing one specific task for the general contractors that took a chance on him. Each succeeding job and the skill with which he performed his duties brought more name recognition for Woods among the GCs.

The decision comes after the Foundation surveyed industry members on Vision 2025 goals, which noted that more participation from students at the high school level is needed.

Lashley Tractor split into two separate entities and re-emerged as Lashley Kubota and Loader Source — both housed in the same facility in Stonecrest, Ga.

The site’s content has been consolidated into four major areas, is easier to navigate and features enhanced use of digital media. It also offers users an easy way to make a tax-deductible donation.

OSHA Puts Construction Biz On Radar With 26 Regulations By Lucy Perry

firm also pointed out that “employers may need to modify their labeling procedures and methods of communicating chemical hazards to workers and other employers on site.” “Once these changes are complete, employers will have to train affected managers, supervisors and employees.” Opposing the proposed amendments, Cal/OSHA contends they will, in effect, reduce the amount and quality of chemical hazard information available to workers. The state agency believes the rules discount chemical evaluations from the regulatory agencies including the EPA.

CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Department of Labor’s focus for the second half of 2021 will be on a laundry list of regulations that could directly impact contractors in the construction industry. Feeling the effects of a federal agenda that includes 26 OSHA regulations, the business of construction may look a lot different by next year. Packing the biggest punch for contractors are proposed amendments to the Hazard Communication Standard (HCS). OSHA’s goal is to conform to changes in the United Nations’ Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS). Potential Business Challenges OSHA also seeks to align certain hazard communication provisions with Canada and other U.S. agencies, and address issues that have developed since implementation of the 2012 standard, according to David Sparkman, logistics consultant, Washington, D.C. The standard applies to all employers that ship, store or handle hazardous materials, but construction employers may face new burdens, cautioned Sparkman. Contractors “may have new compliance obligations from some materials now being classified as ‘hazardous’ or managed in a different hazard class, resulting in new program, training and communication obligations.” The amendments seek to modify certain hazard classes, conditions for labeling and language used on safety data sheets (SDS). Updates to the HCS classification and labeling framework, for consistency with more recent versions of GHS, are also proposed. “OSHA’s proposed HCS amendments have the potential to affect many products used on construction sites, including aerosolized products and products in small containers, as well as alter some chemical product labels and SDSs,” said Sparkman in an article in EHS Today. One major amendment proposes to revise criteria for the classification of certain health and physical hazards, including unstable gases, non-flammable aerosols, skin corrosion, or irritation, eye irritation and aerosols, generally. Sparkman pointed out that the proposed amendments also would create a new hazard class for desensitized explosives. If this happens, contractors will need to ensure proper product classification, and update their written programs, SDS and training materials to comply. Attorneys Cressinda Schlag and Kelli Morgan Dreger of the Jackson Lewis law

OSHA may beef up workplace injury and illness tracking under the Biden Administration. The agency wants to revert to the 2016 version of the rule.

Tackling Heat Attorney Courtney Malveaux of Jackson Lewis believes OSHA’s standard for heat illness prevention may be the most consequential for the construction industry. The number one weather-related killer, heat has become more dangerous in recent years as global temperatures have continued to rise, said Malveaux. “Construction workers especially are at high risk, often working outside and performing exerting tasks.” OSHA’s General Duty Clause has served as a catch-all for hazards not addressed by a specific standard. But that will change, said Malveaux, if OSHA follows state standards already in place. The agency could mandate break times and require employers to monitor employee acclimatization, as well as outdoor temperatures and humidity levels. Bloomberg Law reports that the OSHA heat rule proposal isn’t all that hot, though. see OSHA page 84

OSHA’s proposed hazard communication standard amendments could affect many products used on construction sites, including aerosolized products and products in small containers.

James River Serves Growing Customer Base Via New Hub

To serve its growing base of customers in the construction industry in eastern North Carolina, James River Equipment in January opened a hub facility in the southern suburbs of Raleigh.

By Eric Olson

To serve its growing base of customers in the construction industry in eastern North Carolina, James River Equipment in January opened a hub facility in the southern suburbs of Raleigh. The approximately 60,000-sq.-ft., full-service dealership relocated to a larger 25½-acre piece of property in Garner from another part of the Raleigh metro area. Fully half of the facility’s space is devoted to its service bays, while another 15,000 sq. ft. makes up the branch’s parts warehouse. There also is a larger showroom area for James River’s various products, headed by John Deere construction equipment. In fact, James River has been the manufacturer’s top dealer in North Carolina and Virginia for more than 40 years. Through that association, the new Raleigh location of James River also has been designated by the equipment maker as a John Deere Certified Rebuild Center with skilled technicians trained in the use of tooling and processes to ensure that each machine rebuild is done efficiently and professionally. James River Equipment in Raleigh and each of its other eastern North Carolina branches prides itself in being a partner with the regional community of contractors and builders. The different segments it caters to include construction, forestry, paving, utilities and grading.

Raleigh Branch a Hub for Eastern N.C. Building a new James River Equipment location in Raleigh was not just about creating more elbow room for customers, salespeople, parts people and technicians, said Brian Dillenback, general manager of the facility. It also was done, he said, to better move parts and equipment between the campus and other James River facilities to the east and south in Fayetteville, Wilmington, New Bern, Greenville, Ahoskie and Elizabeth City. Those branches, too, have received significant upgrades to their physical structures and service capabilities, he added. The Raleigh location’s designation as a hub for James River parts and equipment is bolstered by the facility being just off Interstate 40 and U.S. Highway 64 East, both of which also lead to I-95. All three are the major routes across the eastern and coastal part of the Tarheel State. “The biggest advantage for us is that it is a better location Shawn Arbeau works on a Certified Rebuild at the James River Equipment facility in Raleigh.

West Coast Power Tech Startup to Build New HQ in Durham Smart Wires Inc., a power technology startup from San Francisco, is moving its global headquarters across the country to Durham, N.C., where it will invest $21.5 million over five years to establish new corporate offices and a research and development facility. North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper made the announcement July 27, adding that Smart Wires plans to create 250 jobs with the move. The decision comes after the company was approved for a Job Development Investment Grant from the state worth $2.8 million over the next 12 years, reported the Raleigh News & Observer. The payments will only be given to Smart Wires if it meets hiring and investment goals set by the state. The governor’s office noted that over the course of the 12year term of the grant, the Smart Wires project is estimated to grow the state’s economy by $3.07 billion. In addition, the newspaper noted that Durham County has offered the company $125,000 worth of incentives. Smart Wires, which works with existing electric utilities to improve power grids, chose Durham over Austin, Texas, according to the N.C. Department of Commerce, which approved the incentives just hours before Cooper’s announcement. The site upon which the company’s campus is to be built lies within North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park region. “North Carolina’s transition to a clean energy economy enhances our reputation as a forward looking, attractive business location,” said Cooper in a press release from his office. “Smart Wires’ selection of the Research Triangle for its headquarters shows our state has the skilled workforce and public policies to support one of the most promising new industries of the 21st Century, and we welcome this innovative company to our state.” The new jobs at Smart Wires will have an average wage of $118,360, according to the Commerce Department, a number significantly higher than Durham County’s average wage of $75,892. Those salaries will include the startup’s current chief executive, chief financial officer and head of human resources, while other roles like finance and IT will be placed at the Durham office. Smart Wires is not waiting for the new campus to be built before moving. Company officials told the Raleigh newspaper that it is looking for office space from which to work in the interim. Founded in 2010, Smart Wires has raised nearly $180 million from investors, the News & Observer reported. The firm uses its technology to advance clean energy usage by partnering with electric utilities around the world to improve the efficiency of electric transmission grids. Cooper’s press release described Smart Wire’s flagship SmartValve product as one that is designed to ensure power flows are efficient and balanced. That is accomplished, according to the power tech company, “by increasing or decreasing line reactance, in essence pushing power off overloaded transmission lines and pulling it onto underutilized lines.” 

The American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) has redesigned its website to spotlight the educational accomplishments of the children of fallen highway workers, emphasize critical safety training toolkits and video resources, and showcase the faces and achievements of industry leaders. “The ARTBA Foundation’s programs and services highlight the many impacts of strong federal transportation investment,” said HNTB Director Paul Yarossi, who serves as the Foundation’s chair. “With the new website, we aim to put a human face on our scholarship students and the industry professionals receiving our valuable safety training.” The site’s content has been consolidated into four major areas, is easier to navigate and features enhanced use of digital media. It also offers users an easy way to make a taxdeductible donation. Among key topics covered: • Scholarships & Awards. Established in 1999, the Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program provides post-high school financial assistance to the sons, daughters or legally adopted children of highway workers killed or disabled while on project sites. The site features testimonials from some of the students about how the program has helped them. Nearly $700,000 in scholarships have been awarded to 202 students nationwide since the fund’s inception. The awards section includes three different honors that recognize women leaders in transportation design and construction, and contractor safety program excellence. • A revamped Safety Center provides training and information to improve the well-being of roadway users and workers on transportation construction project sites. It has a catalog of safety training/certificate courses and events, empowering users to find training materials, videos, a class or event they’d like to attend, and then schedule or register from one convenient location. • The Transportation Development Hall of Fame, launched in 2010, honors individuals or families from the public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to U.S. transportation development over their lifetime and demonstrated exceptional leadership and innovation. There is a picture and short video about each inductee. • Leadership Development. The Industry Leader Development Program (ILDP) provides rising industry leaders with a solid understanding of industry economics, how transportation is funded and financed and how to become more politically engaged to help shape transportation policy. The ILDP is held annually each spring in conjunction with ARTBA’s Federal Issues Program and Transportation Construction Coalition Washington Fly-in. More than 800 professionals from more than 200 industry firms, state contractor chapters, and public agencies have completed the program. The website was developed by a team of ARTBA and ARTBA-TDF staff, led by Senior Digital Communications Specialist Justin Russell. For more information, visit www.artbatdf.org.

Miss. Biz Helps Contractors ‘Fill the Gaps’ in Their Projects By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

When Brian Woods decided to leave college early and start his own one-man construction service company in 2003, he began by performing one specific task for the general contractors that took a chance on him. Woods had recognized that, as more and more subdivisions were being built in the Memphis, Tenn., area, builders were often missing a dedicated subcontractor to perform topshelf erosion control on their projects. Each succeeding job and the skill with which he performed his duties brought more name recognition for Woods among the GCs — ultimately leading to more career success for him. Today, Woods Construction Services, based across the state line from Memphis in Byhalia, Miss., is busier than ever. Handling erosion control is still a major part of Woods’ company, but a growing civil side to the business has led to a current total of 24 employees working in both states. Most of that work, he conceded, is done in the more populous Memphis area and other nearby parts of Tennessee. When Woods got into the construction business, he viewed each project he took on as a puzzle. with he and his crews supplying the pieces needed to make each one whole. “I just saw that what we had to offer filled a niche,” he said recently from his Byhalia office. “There were pieces of a project that were left to be done by this contractor or that contractor and we began to come in and fill those gaps. From there, the company evolved when they began to ask us for more and more work on their job sites.” Woods Finds Success With Expanded Service Menu Woods Construction Services’ erosion control operations are currently managed by Jim Sanderlin, with his colleague, Steven Wilburn, leading the company’s civil enterprises. Woods considers himself to be lucky to have both professionals on his team. “We do, what I call, a lot of mid-size commercial work like fast-food restaurants and gas stations, which includes one customer who builds eight to 10 gas stations a year,” he described. “We are fortunate to do all his work as they are rather large stores with truck fuel docks. In addition, we have worked on several Freddy’s [a hamburger and frozen custard chain], and Chick-fil-As as well as some animal hospitals and warehouses.” At each of these projects, Woods’ company also installs sewer and stormwater systems, in addition to the always needed clearing and grading. “It is a turnkey operation in that we do everything except the building itself and the landscaping,” he said. “That includes, of course, the erosion control — all with the aim of keeping the client from calling other companies to get those jobs done.” To date, the largest project that Woods Construction Services has been contracted to work on is a 70,000-sq.-ft. warehouse expansion at Thermo Fisher Scientific’s existing facility in Memphis. The medication supplier uses the space for cold storage. “We did the pad and all the civil work, including running the fire line, putting in the stormwater management systems and the roof drains” Woods said.

(L-R): Megan Hughes, Whitney Woods and Brian Woods, all of Woods Construction Services.

Link-Belt Excavators Key to Woods’ Success When he first opened his business, the first pieces of equipment that Woods used to do his erosion-control work were a skid steer, a tractor, and a silt fence plow. When he began to add to Woods Construction Services’ menu of functions, such as clearing and grading light underbrush, he brought on a track hoe, a mulcher and a grinder. Later, he expanded his range of clearing services, along with his burgeoning civil projects, after he purchased a Link-Belt 75 excavator and a haul truck. “That Link-Belt 75 was a 20,000-pound machine we used

In 2020, Woods Construction Services bought a LinkBelt 245 X4 excavator from Heavy Machines, a purchase that Brian Woods said has worked out extremely well for his business.

to help fill in those project gaps for various general contractors,” he said. “We bought that big mini-excavator back in either 2005 or 2006.” The northern Mississippi contractor currently turns to Memphis-based Heavy Machines Inc. for many of its mostused machines and attachments. From the full-service dealership, Woods has been able to stock his company with, among other pieces, three Link-Belt excavators, Fecon mulching machines, two Sakai compactors, and an ASV RT-120F compact track loader. In 2020, Woods bought a Link-Belt 245 X4 excavator from Heavy Machines, a purchase that he said has worked out extremely well for his business. “We are super-pleased with that machine,” he said. “The versatility of that 58,000-pound rig is so great. Our pipe guys absolutely love it because it is strong enough to pick up the structures it needs. With the rubber tracks on it, they don’t have to lay down plywood on the roads to access the work. It has been a huge addition to our toolbox.” Another advantage of the Link-Belt 245’s rubber-padded tracks, Woods said, is apparent while installing underground utility projects. Even as the excavator totes heavy pipes, its movement does not damage streets and roads. “With that machine, we have a coupler to go along with our 36-inch and 48-inch buckets,” he said. “So, if they are digging dirt, they can switch to the big bucket to get the dirt out of their way and get it down to grade. Then they can put their other bucket on the 245 and begin laying storm drain, a water line or a fire line — whatever the job calls for.” His other Link-Belt excavators include a model 210, which Woods said is equipped with a thumb on it; and a smaller model 80. “That small machine is never here at the office because the guys use it constantly,” Woods said. “It has rubber tracks, a hammer, a thumb, and uses both a 36-inch and a 24-inch bucket. When we do light demolition for certain remodeling contractors, that is the machine we use. It is somewhere every day and has proven to be a very versatile piece of equipment for us.” Smaller Machines Make Big Impact, Too The company also has paired the Link-Belt 80 with a Fecon-brand mulcher to carry out many of its clearing and grading contracts. Woods said his experience has taught him that Fecon provides the best cutter heads for the money and have proven to be durable despite working in often brutal conditions. For its Sakai machines, Woods said that his firm has both padfoot rollers for uniform compaction and shell kits to convert its smooth drum rollers into padfoot compactors. “We like Sakai because of the great service we get from them,” he said, adding, “They are the only rollers we have ever had, so I can’t say I have anything else to compare them to. But we have never had any issues that would make us try something else. We have also enjoyed the great availability of their parts. One of our Sakais has around 1,200 hours on it; the other has 700 hours.” That same rough, tough reliability is also what Woods finds so appealing about owning the ASV RT-120F compact track loader. His company equips it with Fecon cutter heads during clearing work. “[The ASV] has been a great machine and we now have 2,000 hard hours on it,” he said. “We don’t use it for anything other than mulching and often in tough working conditions. see WOODS page 72

The AED Foundation (AEDF) announced a significant change to Vision 2025, a five-year-long campaign focused on providing industry education opportunities to reduce the workforce shortage. This transformation includes raising the goal for the number of recognized high schools from 50 schools to 150 schools. The decision comes after the Foundation surveyed industry members on Vision 2025 goals, which noted that more participation from students at the high school level is needed. AEDF’s recognition efforts aim to provide more students the opportunity to start a career path to become heavy equipment technicians. In addition to recognition efforts, the Foundation has developed additional resources over the past year to further education opportunities, including the Construction Career Aptitude Test and AEDF’s Stackable Credentials Program, both aimed at students at the high school level. By implementing additional school recognition efforts into Vision 2025, AEDF hopes to provide more students with the opportunity to obtain a quality technical education. This, in turn, will lead to more technicians entering dealerships, effectively reducing the industry workforce shortage. The AED Foundation’s Executive Vice President and COO, Jason Blake, said, “Recognition is a necessary step for students to become top-tier technicians upon entering the workforce. Right now, it is more important than ever to ensure schools across the country are upholding education standards that meet recognition requirements, as excellent education translates to qualified industry technicians. “AEDF advocates for industry members to work with high schools in their respective areas to achieve recognition status.” As dealership support is a requirement for high school programs to become recognized by the Foundation, AEDF recommends dealerships work with local schools to achieve this distinction. In turn, programs will be better suited to meet industry needs and provide a pipeline for students to enter careers at dealerships after completing their education. Through the support of local schools and dealerships, the Foundation is raising the standard of industry technicians across North America while combatting the workforce shortage in the process, the Foundation said. For more information on the high school recognition process, contact AED Regional Manager, Sean Fitzgerrel, at sfitzgerrel@aednet.org or visit aedfoundation.org. 

Transportation Construction…

OSHA COVID Safety Rules Offer Flexibility to Firms New guidelines from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) grant transportation construction contractors and other businesses the flexibility to adopt COVID safety protocols that fit their specific workplaces, according to the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). “Today’s OSHA announcement is a wellreasoned approach that will let the transportation construction industry continue to provide safety protections tailored to its workers as they build our roads and keep our country moving during the COVID pandemic,” said ARTBA President and CEO David Bauer. OSHA announced June 10 a new Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) aimed at protecting workers from COVID19 that applies only to the health care industry. For other sectors such as road and bridge construction, the agency updated existing

guidance, enabling those sectors to continue best practices designed specifically for transportation workers. Transportation construction workers primarily work outdoors in all kinds of weather. The new rules allow for relaxed requirements related to face coverings and other health protocols for workers who are fully vaccinated. OSHA’s decision not to create a nationwide ETS applying to all industries acknowledges the drawbacks of a “one size fits all” approach to new COVID regulations. In a series of meetings and letters since December, ARTBA has urged incoming Biden Administration officials to “consider the specific attributes and existing safety protocols of particular industries, with the objective of not undermining those protections to the detriment of their workers.” For more information, visit www.artba.org. 

Dealer Rebrands as Lashley Kubota and Loader Source New signs and upgrades at the front of the building provide an updated look to the facility.

Rebuilding of the interior included putting parts, service and rental departments together, right next to the reception area and showroom.

During and after the pandemic, when some in the industry were scaling down, cutting back, or just “waiting to see what the future held,” Lashley Tractor was busy doing a complete facility renovation, while also renaming and rebranding itself. When the dust cleared, Lashley Tractor was split into two separate entities and re-emerged as Lashley Kubota and Loader Source — both housed in the same facility in Stonecrest, Ga. Owner/operators of the business, Jeff and Ken Lashley said the renovation/rebranding project began around Thanksgiving of 2020 and wrapped up at the beginning of second quarter of 2021. The process came about after the departure of the New Holland line. “With Kubota being such a predominate part of our business, the name change seemed obvious and made sense,” Jeff Lashley said. “Since Kubota represents so much more than tractors nowadays, we

thought the tractor name after Lashley might be a bit limiting of the perception of what we offer. Because we already needed new signs, the timing was right to do a complete renovation, from floors, to knocking out walls, all the way to fresh paint.” Ken Lashley added, “We’ve been in this facility for over 27 years. It was a nice facility when we first moved in and it just became dated over the years. The project was over $400,000 Jeff Lashley (L) serves as Lashley Kubota’s controller and Ken Lashley and considered a rather min- serves as the company’s general manager. imal investment in compariback up to display various tion sharing.” son to ‘fresh builds’ right now.

has continued to be robust. Jeff said that during the renovation he was happy that the company continued to maintain the same staff as it now has, despite a bit of a dip in business at the beginning of the COVID pandemic. Afterward, he said business was booming and continues to be. The second “prong” of Lashley’s overall business is Loader Source. This is an ASV product centered business unit. According to Jeff Lashley, since ASV is a premium brand, it now has its own business name. “We’ve carried the line since 2003, but with rebranding, we wanted to provide a business name specific to the ASV product. It just made more sense for our business model and for representing the product line. It’s been a good product line for us to carry and is getting better all the time. “We’re very pleased with rebranding and acceptance by the market and our actual renovations. It’s hard to tell which has been more beneficial. I think our customers like to see that we’re doing well, that we’re going to be around for some time, and that we’re reinvesting in our business.” Both Jeff and Ken said that their overall goal is to continue to build the brands they already have and to maximize them in all aspects — sales/rentals/parts/service — and to continue to improve customer service levels. 

Florida Coast Equipment Promotes Brian Kimpton to COO At Florida Coast Equipment, family doesn’t just refer to the family-owned dealership, which has quickly become Florida’s largest Kubota dealership, but also the family culture they have relied on for more than 30 years. And despite the challenges brought on by the COVID pandemic and national labor shortages, Florida Coast Equipment is expanding across the state, hiring new employees and promoting team members from within the family, according to Florida Coast Equipment President Todd Bachman. Over the last two months, the Florida Coast team has expanded into Land O’Lakes, Plant City and Homestead with the announcement of three new dealerships, bringing more than 100 new employees to the team, said Bachman. As part of that expansion, Florida Coast Equipment has promoted Brian Kimpton, to the newly created position of chief operating officer to help navigate the company’s continued growth and success, said Bachman. “To be the best, you’ve got to hire the best,” said Bachman. “That’s why we believe in promoting from within the Florida Coast team and we are lucky to have Brian Kimpton to lead the day to day operations of Florida Coast Equipment and Big Orange Rental.” Bachman described Kimpton’s leadership skills as “second to none,” noting that the company valued strong leaders to achieve its goals. Kimpton, who has served as vice president and general manager at the West Palm Beach dealership since 2019, described Florida Coast Equipment’s culture of success and growth as a “simple daily practice of believing in employees and serving customers.”

Brian Kimpton

“As Florida Coast Equipment continues the journey of becoming the most successful Kubota dealership in the country, the culture of taking care of customers and employees will remain the center of focus within the Florida Coast family,” said Kimpton. “Together we will continue to build on the foundation of excellence and grow the business while focusing on making today better than yesterday for every Florida Coast customer and employee.” After previously working for John Deere, Caterpillar and leading an Ohio Deere dealership from three locations to seven, Kimpton said he was humbled to have the opportunity to utilize his 20 years of experience in the equipment industry as a member of the Florida Coast Equipment’s executive leadership team. In praising the addition of Kimpton to the leadership team, Bachman also was quick to note that despite the company’s growth, it would remain committed to it’s family-focused, community driven approach that has made them Florida’s premier Kubota dealership. “We are excited to be growing and bring new jobs to the great state of Florida,” said Bachman. “But no matter how much we grow, it’s our team’s tradition of delivering impeccable customer service and unrivaled product support that makes us who we are and that will never change.” Florida Coast Equipment and BIG ORANGE RENTAL is family-owned & operated full-service Kubota Dealership with seven locations across the state (West Palm Beach, Ft.

Interchange for Pratt & Whitney Site Could Cost Up to $35M The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is fast-tracking a new interchange on Interstate 26 south of Asheville as part of the economic development package surrounding the new $650 million Pratt & Whitney aircraft engine parts plant currently under construction. The new interchange is proposed to be built in Buncombe County on I-26 between Brevard Road at Exit 33 and Long Shoals Road at Exit 37, according to McCray Coates, division project manager of NCDOT’s Asheville office. The interchange will connect to a road under construction for the Pratt & Whitney site, which also connects to a new bridge over the French Broad River. The Asheville Citizen Times reported that NCDOT is still working to design the interchange, but when built, the crossing will serve the public as well as the new aircraft engine parts manufacturing plant. “The key there is it will provide that direct access over to the [Pratt & Whitney] facility and over to NC Highway 191 [Brevard Road], so it definitely promotes connectivity throughout the area,” he said.

Interchange Helped Lure Manufacturer to N.C. North Carolina State Sen. Chuck Edwards, a Hendersonville Republican who represents part of Buncombe County, has worked on the Pratt & Whitney development for two years. “I firmly believe that our state’s commitment to building the interchange is what pushed us across the finish line to

ued. “Since we expected to draw jobs from seven western counties, it would have been unproductive to add to employee commute times had we not addressed inevitable congestion issues. We were also concerned with adding congestion for our local traffic along I-26, which the current widening would otherwise eliminate.”

New Interchange Was the Solution Biltmore Farms LLC, which sold a 100acre tract to Pratt & Whitney for $1, is developing the road to the facility and a bridge over the French Broad River to Brevard Road. “We understand the potential of an interstate interchange was an important component to Pratt & Whitney’s decision to locate in Buncombe County over other competing sites,” Ben Teague, Biltmore Farms’ vice president of strategic development, told the Citizen Times via email. “Pratt & Whitney is building a world class advanced manufacturing facility which will draw talent from many western North Carolina counties, in addition to Buncombe County.” Asked about the project, and if Pratt & Whitney, based in East Hartford, Conn., requested the interchange as part of its agreement to locate here, company spokesperson NCDOT graphic Heather Summerer provided a general stateThe North Carolina Department of Transportation has proposed a new inter- ment to the Asheville newspaper. In it, she noted the aerospace company’s change on Interstate 26 between Brevard Road and Long Shoals Road. The interchange would serve the new Pratt & Whitney plant and provide all motorists will sizable investment in the factory and will “make commitments to the county and state better access to Brevard Road, the DOT said regarding hiring and investing in the local community, colleges and schools to help make this partnership a success.” “The interchange is a very important part of the project,” Summerer wrote in her email. “Access to the area will help Pratt & Whitney recruit from a broad and diverse pool of candidates from within the region.”

Aerospace Company Wants to Start Operations in 2022 A 1.2 million sq. ft. factory is now being built on Pratt & Whitney’s 100-acre site in southern Buncombe County. The defense contractor said in June it plans to start production at the plant, which will manufacture high-tech airfoils that work inside civilian and military jet engines, in late 2022. The parts maker also stated that its new western North Carolina facility will employ 800 people, with an average salary of $68,000, although that includes engineering and other white-collar positions. Most of the factory’s jobs will be in production.

Petersburg side toward Tampa, two lanes from the Tampa side toward St. Petersburg. The existing southbound/westbound (Tampa to St. Petersburg) bridge will be converted to the new northbound/eastbound I-275 (St. Petersburg to Tampa). Once the new bridge is built and all traffic is moved to the final align-

ment, the existing northbound/eastbound (St. Petersburg to Tampa) bridge will be removed. “Building the new bridge to the north of southbound lanes created a better alignment to the causeway approaches than other alignments,” said Carson. “This also provides for easier access to the bridge that will be removed, which will help to keep construction costs and duration for the removal to a

FDOT is overseeing an $866 million design-build project that calls for a new southbound/westbound interstate bridge over Old Tampa Bay between Hillsborough and Pinellas counties.

minimum.” The average daily traffic is more than 170,000 vehicles. Nighttime lane closures have been used to set barrier wall and restripe the southbound bridge, shifting traffic to the left and creating a workspace for the contractor in the former southbound shoulder. Most of the work associated with the project is being done during the day, without impacting the motorists using the existing bridges. Express lanes are optional travel lanes, located on an interstate or toll road, that drivers can choose to use when they want a more predictable travel time. They offer drivers a choice for a faster, more reliable trip, especially during peak hours, and are designed with a limited number of entrance and exit points to serve longer, more regional trips. Additional benefits include less traffic congestion, reduced fuel consumption and decreased air pollution. In addition to the new express lanes, the bridge also will include a multi-use trail along the north side for pedestrians, bicyclists, as well as the foundation support for future light rail. The multi-use trail is part of the bridge, not a separate structure. It will be constructed as the bridge is built. Carson noted that safety is the main concern for crews on the job. “Working over water always creates challenges. Florida weather adds to that. Wind and wave action can create challenging and potentially unsafe conditions for the crews working on and traveling to and from the barges. Pop up thunderstorms with lightning and waterspouts are a common occurrence that occur frequently and usually without much advance notice. “Also, working within feet of traffic travelling over 70 mph requires everyone to always remain alert to their surroundings, while also performing their job duties.” Currently, crews are working on foundation and substructure tasks that include driving piles, pouring footings, columns and caps, bulkhead installation, clearing and grubbing, grading and drainage work for bridge approaches. As with all over-water bridge projects, all equipment, materials and staff must be transported to the job site. On this project, that includes barges, cranes, pile driving rigs, equipsee TAMPA page 40

ment operators and inspection staff. Material is transported on barges via tugboats. Staff are transported daily to their work areas on the barges by boat. As for key tasks that have already been completed, the design of the bridge is 90 percent complete. Foundation and substructure work is under way. Approximately 50 barges are in use. At the peak of construction, there will be just under 100 barges in the bay associated with construction of the new bridge. Significant tasks remaining include foundation work, substructure and superstructure, highway lighting, ITS components, roadway signage and striping and placing traffic in the new alignment. Concrete and steel are among the main materials being used on the project. Heavy machinery required to complete the work includes a series of cranes, including a Manitowoc 4100 Ringer; Manitowoc MLC 300; Manitowoc 2250; Manitowoc 14000; Manitowoc 999; and Tadano Mantis GTC 1300. Carson explained that the overall building process is slow and steady. “Bridge projects by their nature must be done in phases, starting with foundations, then substructure then superstructure. Due to the magnitude of the project, every phase is time-consuming.” Ultimately, all traffic will be moved to the final alignment. “The roadways leading onto the bridges will be restriped to accomplish this,” said Carson. “As with all major restriping activities, this will be done at night when traffic volumes are lower.” As part of the project, the existing northbound/eastbound (St. Petersburg to Tampa) bridge will eventually be removed. “This will occur after traffic has been moved onto the new alignment and the current southbound bridge has been rehabilitated,” said Carson. “This will be close to the final completion of the project. Removal of the current northbound bridge involves removing the decks, piers and pilings.”

According to FDOT, the new design will improve incident management in emergency response situations and provide additional capacity along a critical evacuation route. To accommodate transit in the future, a portion of the new bridge will be designed and constructed to carry heavier loadings, up to a light rail transit system. Should light rail transit be locally supported for implementation, the existing southbound bridge would then be widened and travel lanes shifted to the widened bridge. Carson said it’s truly rewarding to see construction continuing on such a lengthy project, which is a joint venture between Archer Western and Traylor Bros. “The team working on the project consists of seasoned professionals who are working together to create what we believe will be an area icon for future generations.”  CEG

B&N Ranks Ninth-Largest Woman-Owned Biz in Charlotte B&N from page 1

manages existing asphalt and concrete, installs water and sewer lines and makes the simple pothole repairs that got the firm out of the starting blocks in 2010. Other services offered by the company include milling, sealcoating, repairs and removals, erosion control, grading and bringing projects to ADA compliance. “We can handle anything from full-site projects to small, property management firms that may need some parking lot maintenance,” she said. “We cover the whole asphalt range from crack filling to an entire site project. Our crews can do the job from the ground up.” When asked what a typical job is for B&N Grading, Thompson thought carefully before answering. “Well, it depends, because we do so many different types of projects, but I would say that it starts with site preparation, which could include grading and utilities or just be milling

Eleven years later, she and Hux, now her husband and business partner, operate B&N Grading Inc., one of the top grading and paving companies working in the two Carolinas. It has also been noted as being among the fastest growing firms in the area with 70 full-time employees in 2021. In 2016, B&N Grading was recognized by Charlotte Business Journal as ranking 16th in the publication’s Fast 50 Awards, based on its growth rate over the previous two years. In addition, the online and print business news source rated B&N Grading as the Charlotte area’s ninth-largest woman-owned company in terms of revenue for 2017, and the ninth-largest woman-owned operation in the area by the number of employees. Building Reputation Was Key Those acknowledgements represent quite an achievement for a company that began as a girlfriend and boyfriend (now spouses) going door-to-door, when they were not at their regular jobs, in search of small asphalt patching jobs around the Queen City. “It was scary, and it was dangerous work,” Thompson said. “There wasn’t a steady income always coming in, so we had to put in a lot of work. [Brian and I] were working on driveways and potholes.” But by applying themselves and building a reputation for the excellence of their work, Thompson and Hux made extra money and eventually became a full-fledged contracting company licensed in both North and South Carolina. “That meant if a problem came along, we would go back to the job and fix it,” she said. “Building a strong reputation worked well for us and slowly we began to do small patches at some commercial locations. We got into doing some

up the existing surface, then paving and striping,” she said. “The initial phase comes from our grading and utility crews that handle a project’s sewer and water. They install storm drains all the way into grading the project and doing stonework before the asphalt crew comes in to apply the final asphalt.”

Balancing Family, Business Before embarking on their new business together, Thompson had been training to be a paralegal, although Hux had already been in the construction business much of his life. Thompson, as majority owner of B&N Grading, oversees the day-to-day management, while Hux runs the company’s field operations. She noted that it was a big jump for her to move from paralegal school to running a paving and grading business, but by utilizing her indomitable spirit, Thompson figured out what would make the company flourish. “I started going to school again and learning everything I could about the construction and paving business, just gaining more knowledge,” she said. “Plus, I feel like I hire smart people and learn from them as well. see B&N page 90

Scenery, Safety Merge for Road Construction in Midway, Utah

By Chuck MacDonald

CEG CORRESPONDENT

Springs Road. In addition to the challenging construction, the DSBGeneva Rock joint venture had to navigate an intricate array of government entities who gave oversight to the project. Key project team members included U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highways Division, Central Federal Lands Highway, U.S. Forest Service and Wasatch County. While not a project requirement, the contractor opted to create a CAD-based model, which was utilized in the excavation and grading equipment. On the Scenic Drive section, where no roadway design was provided, this model allowed the finished roadway to be reviewed before it was constructed. By using this process, the contractor identified several areas that could use slight adjustments to improve final roadway smoothness. The scope of the project consisted of rehabilitating and paving 5.3 mi. The Cascade Scenic Drive and Cascade Springs Road project created a serpentine road that allows of Cascade Springs Road and 6.8

A bird’s-eye view of the Cascade Scenic Drive and Cascade Springs Road near Midway, Utah, revealed scenic grandeur that drew thousands to view the changing colors and majestic vistas. For the drivers, however, the experience was less pleasant. Sections of the road were made up of dirt and so steep that drivers’ tires would spin before catching hold and inching up a 12 percent grade at 8,000-ft. elevation. Blind curves and steep drop-offs were common along the drive. In addition, snow in the winter and other weather loosened rock, which would tumble down the mountainside and end up in the roadway. A joint venture of DSB Construction and Geneva Rock Products, based in American Fork, Utah, took on the $13.6 million project to match scenery with safety on Cascade Scenic Drive and Cascade drivers to enjoy safely the beauty of a scenic drive.

Seminole Asphalt Adds Another LeeBoy to Its Paver Fleet

The latest LeeBoy 6150 purchase was delivered and put into service in Winter Garden, Fla., for a new subdivision paving job.

Turnkey, grass to asphalt paving company Seminole Asphalt Paving Inc. recently added its fifth LeeBoy 6150 to its fleet of equipment. The company’s total machine fleet totals almost 60 machines and includes eight LeeBoys, two Rosco Maximizer distributors, dump trucks and other earthmoving machines. Company president and owner Kenny Floyd said the company has been buying LeeBoy and Rosco machines for 20 years. “Over the years we’ve stuck with the machines because they’re tried and true, have proven themselves and come with tremendous backing and support from the people behind the machines.” At a tennis court job site just off Boggy Creek Road in Orlando, one of the crews for Seminole Asphalt Paving was about to put down about 120 tons of asphalt in a three-hour period with a LeeBoy 6150, while Seminole crews were working the other 6150’s at other sites around central Florida. Why is Seminole Asphalt Paving completely “set” on one paver model? “Over the last few years we’ve seen tremendous innovation and improvements in the screed systems, the conveyor systems, the longevity of the newer parts and bearings,” said Floyd. “We get a lot more hours out of our new LeeBoy machines. “We lay a lot of asphalt. Each of our crews average 400 to 600 tons a day — every day — all year

long. We don’t have winter breaks, but when it rains we don’t pave. We probably have maybe three cold days a year that we can’t pave, other than that we pave every day — five days a week. Every day we have three crews out working and two subs paving as well.” Seminole Asphalt Paving has a niche for working on larger scale work, including subdivision and school paving, as well as city and municipality work. The LeeBoy 6150 seems to provide the perfect production quality and volume needed for the company and Floyd said he “can’t say enough about the partnership with Dobbs and LeeBoy.” In a conversation with Floyd, Brian Hall, his LeeBoy representative, said the partnership between LeeBoy and Floyd’s crews includes providing feedback of what they see as good and what they see as not so good on the paver and what kind of innovations LeeBoy might need to make to improve their machine. “We invite them to give us as much feedback as possible,” Hall said. “Some of their feedback has already led to machine changes. Whether it be good, bad or indifferent, it’s people like Seminole Asphalt Paving that we’re building machines for. They’re in our wheelhouse and if they have something in mind that they need in their machine for their job or to make them more profitable — we’ll 100 percent look at it. When it comes to machine

At a job site off Boggy Creek Road in Orlando, Brian Hall (L) of LeeBoy and Kenny Floyd of Seminole Paving discuss the LeeBoy pavers running at various locations.

Seminole Paving runs its own fleet of dump trucks and earth moving machines for complete turn-key paving projects.

The screed dependability and overall familiarity of the 6150 machine keeps Seminole Paving coming back to Dobbs Equipment for its LeeBoy pavers.

maintenance and quick repairs, Floyd said when he needs something or has ideas it’s just a phone call away to share with the manufacturer or the dealer. “When you have seven or eight loads of asphalt sitting in front of you and you have an issue with a

machine, you gotta’ figure out how to fix something quick. I have a regular LeeBoy technician who is available 99 percent of the time to answer my phone call the first time. The other 1 percent, there’s always someone else I can call. That goes a long way.

“If it’s not warranty work, all service and maintenance on our LeeBoy and Rosco Maximizer products are done in-house and sometimes we’ll even do the warranty work if it’s faster and easier for us to do it. Having three mobile mechanics on staff helps to ensure quick work on all equipment in the fleet,” Floyd said. Seminole Asphalt Paving is serious about getting the work done with virtually zero down time. “Each crew has multiples of everything. We have two rollers and two pavers on each job to ensure we don’t miss a beat. We’re ready for anything that comes our way.” Floyd concluded by saying that the root of his business comes from the simple things, like paying your bills, sending out clean machines for best possible image and buying highly functional machines. “LeeBoy representatives have been great people to work with. They are out to see us on a regular basis. I can’t say any more. Anyone who owns a LeeBoy hopefully knows that assistance on anything is only a phone call way. These are high tech — yet simple machines.” (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2021 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)  CEG

Steep Drop-Offs Make for Challenging Project for DSB Construction in Utah

DOBBS EQUIPMENT (844) 4 MY DOBBS www.dobbsequipment.com Riverview, FL (Main Office) (813) 620-1000 Fort Myers, FL (239) 334-3627 Lutz, FL (813) 995-0841 Miami, FL (305) 592-5740 Orlando, FL (407) 299-1212 Pompano Beach Parts, FL (954) 977-9541 Riverview Parts, FL (813) 621-4902

The project transformed a one-lane road into a much safer two-lane road. CASCADE from page 43

mi. of Cascade Scenic Drive, beginning at State Route 92 (Alpine Scenic Loop Road) and ending to the east at the entrance to Wasatch Mountain State Park, approximately 4 mi. outside of Heber City, Utah. “The unpaved section of the road was the most challenging, but also was a place where we could improve drivability and safety the most,” said Chris Robbins, project manager of DSB Construction. “Using the 3D modeling showed us the best place to realign the roadway. In some places, we realigned it 20 feet from its old location. This helped us to move forward efficiently and also helped us track the quantities of materials we would have to use.” Building the new road involved much more than just paving. “We rebuilt the slopes in four different spots,” said Robbins. “Some spots had dangerous drop-offs, which the joint venture team helped fix by adding shoulders as well as safety features like guard rails. In other areas, the team had to remove part of the cliff, so the paving equipment could manage the curves of the pavement. Building the new road also required blasting rock to remove it from where the newly aligned road was supposed to lead.” A subcontractor anchored chain mesh on certain cliff faces to catch any rocks dislodged in the future that could endanger drivers. Creating Two-Lane Roadway The first phase of the project, the 5.3 mi. of Cascade Springs Road, required workers to transform the path from a beat up, narrow, dirt road to a safe two-lane pavement. During the second phase, the Geneva Rock team pulverized the 6.8 mi. of Scenic Drive and used the crushed fragments of the old road to form a strong aggregate base. In total, both section of new road required 30,000 tons of an aggregate base and 30,000 tons of fresh asphalt on top. Workers paved the new road with two lifts of 1.5 in. of asphalt for a total of 3 in. of asphalt. The asphalt mix was a standard Federal Highways composition, using limestone as

the aggregate. The unusual nature of the project forced special safety precautions. “Because the road was so narrow with steep drop-offs, we gave our truck drivers hand-held walkie-talkies and numbered the curves,” said Mike Summers, project manager of Geneva Rock. “This enabled the drivers to tell the other drivers which curve they were on to avoid collisions. Our safety manager conducted regular site inspections with safety meetings held on-site to address concerns.” The two-year project began with earthwork first and included installing culverts to divert the rain and snow away from the roadway, again increasing safety for the drivers. Truckers hauled the asphalt from Geneva Rock’s plant located in Draper. The completed project drew rave reviews. Dallin Koecher, executive director of Heber Valley Tourism, Economic Development, said, “Now that Cascade Springs Road has been finished, it provides effortless access to Heber Valley. In the past, people sometimes didn’t travel it if their vehicle didn’t have high ground clearance. Many people didn’t want to drive on a dirt road. Because of that, they would miss seeing some of the beautiful spots in this area. My family has taken this new road many times and we enjoy the smooth travel. The Wasatch Mountain State Park and Cascade Springs areas are beautiful. Now they are easily accessible to many more people.” Robbins looked back with satisfaction at the two-year project completed in spring 2021. “Driving the new road for the first time was amazing,” he said. “The road is exponentially safer than it was before. The job was one of the most challenging and gratifying projects I have done in my 25-year career in construction.” The major subcontractors for the job included QC Testing for quality control; Rock Supremacy for anchor wire mesh; B Jackson Construction for pulverizing; Diamond Tree for tree removal; B&K for guard rail; Express Environmental for erosion control; and Overman Concrete for concrete.  CEG

Applied Machinery Sales Introduces New DBM 3500 Mini Cement Mixer

REYNOLDS-WARREN EQUIPMENT CO. www.reynoldswarren.com 1945 Forest Parkway Lake City, GA 30260 (800) 875-5659 (404) 361-1593 180 Thunderbird Drive Richmond Hill, GA 30324 (912) 445-2880

RICHMOND MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT CO., INC. www.richmondmachinery.com 1701 Roseneath Rd. Richmond, VA 23230 1-800-662-6485

The maximum unloading height of the discharge chute is 6.7 ft. This hydraulically lifted and adjustable chute (+/- 90 degrees) and its two 10-ft. extensions are standard. Machine performance is controlled from the cab or the ground.

Applied Machinery Sales, the official importer and distributor of Merlo telehandlers and Rotos, introduced a new Merlo product line to the USA: DBM 3500 cement mixers. The DBM 3500 is a self-contained mini cement mixer. It has a drum volume of 1,321 gal. delivering 4.6 cu. yd. of concrete. The self-loading bucket handles up to 25 cu. ft. of aggregate at each load cycle. The pump moves 66 gal. of water per minute into the mixing drum, suppling up to 37.7 sq. ft. of concrete to be made in less than 15 minutes. The drum ensures a high-quality mix due to the high geometric volume of the drum, a reduced angle of inclination and a double spiral propeller with variable pitch. The hydraulics on the self-loading bucket lifts and rotates the bucket as needed. The bucket door automatically opens to unload the aggregate into the drum. The hydraulic water system is composed of a self-priming pump (66 gal/min.) with a 3-way diverter to the barrel, tank, or the 20 ft. hose with washing lance. A gallon counter placed on the dashboard, and on the ground controls, regulates the amount of water delivered into the barrel and the lance. A unique feature of the Merlo DBM3500 is the ground controls that replicate controls found in the cab. From the ground, an operator can control engine acceleration, water pump activation, drum rotation, barrel lift, chute lift and emergency stop. The drum sits on a “fifth wheel” allowing 180-degree lateral rotation. Added to the vertical tilt capability, the DBM3500 can discharge concrete up to 330-degrees around the machine. The maximum unloading height of the discharge chute is 6.7 ft. This hydraulically lifted and adjustable chute (+/- 90 degrees) and its two 10 ft. extensions are standard. Machine

performance is controlled from the cab or the ground. The spacious, ROP-certified cab is built with double controls split between front and rear. The front controls are for driving. The comfortable seat spins 180 degrees to access the rear controls that drive the vehicle, manages the mixing drum and self-loading bucket. A lever is used to reverse the direction of machine travel. Operator and machine safety are designed into every DBM concrete mixer. When unladen, the barrel offset — in relation to the frame axle — compensates for the cab weight and supplies optimal front and rear visibility. When fully loaded, the concrete mass is pushed onto the longitudinal axis of the machine to maintain the gravitational center. The 100 hp (Tier IV Final-compliant) engine is placed on the front side of the frame, maximizing ventilation for cooling and accessibility. The DBM3500 is a compact machine (17.9 by 7.7 by 12.7 ft.) with excellent weight balance and a travel speed of up to 25 mph. The DBM comes equipped with: portal axles (increased ground clearance), 4WD with three steering modes, hydrostatic transmission and a robust engine. Combined, the DBM 3500 delivers high torque to the wheels providing safe, nimble maneuvering on any terrain, according to the manufacturer. Due to its agile characteristics, such as the angles of inclination, tight turning radius and the reduced overall dimensions, the DMM cement mixer is suitable for working in confined, difficult-to-reach spaces. Plus, the large water tank means the DBM3500 cement mixer can fully operate in areas without water supply sources. For more information, visit https://ams-merlo.com/product/merlo-dbm-3500/. 

Cat 440, 450 Backhoe Loaders Deliver Performance, Comfort The Cat 440 and 450 center pivot models provide increased lifting performance, high breakout forces and improved operating comfort and ergonomics. The addition to the Cat backhoe loader model line-up, the 440 boasts a 25 percent backhoe lifting improvement over the 430F2 and redesigned single tilt loader arms providing parallel lift and versatility in a multitude of applications. The 450 offers 15 percent higher backhoe lifting capacity than the 450F and introduces an all new cab for increased operator comfort. Lift and tilt breakout forces also have significantly increased on both the 440 and 450 to improve machine productivity. A more balanced weight design and longer backhoe stabilizer legs improve operating stability. The stabilizer systems can be equipped with available guards to prevent damage to the cylinder rod, and optional leg plate guards prevent material build-up on the underside of the stabilizer leg. The powertrains for both models are anchored by the Cat C4.4 ACERT engine that meets stringent Tier IV Final emissions standards using a service-free SCR solution for improved operating efficiency. The 440 and 450 optimizes engine speed and pump displacement for performance. The standard Autoshift transmission features a sixth gear for improved roading performance, and optional Lock Up Torque converter for improved torque and efficiency on grades. Spring-applied hydraulically released (SAHR) brakes provide simplified operation of the parking brake. Improved Operating Efficiency A completely reengineered hydraulic infrastructure for the operator station features seat-mounted controls to deliver a

more comfortable operating position, reducing operator fatigue over extended shifts. Electronic sensors imbedded in the design automatically detect the seat position. The controls stay with the operator regardless of forward or reverse operation and eliminate the pilot control pods for backhoe operation, significantly increasing legroom at the rear of the cab. Control design allows the operator to sit at 45-degrees to the rear of the cab for increased operating comfort when truck loading and ditch clearing. The backhoe loaders’ redesigned digital display center with soft keys affords fast and efficient setting of critical machine functions plus offers clearer visibility of the fuel and water temperature gauges and tachometer. Full text diagnostic descriptions and instruction pop-ups aid in efficient machine operation and trouble-shooting. Up to 25 different

Improved Load Control Both the 440 and 450 backhoe loaders are built with common single-tilt loader arms. Electrical sensors positioned at the tilt and lift arm enable parallel arm movement for increased material retention when lifting the loader bucket and safe handling of palletized loads. In-cab easy-to-set programmable kickout allows the operator to quickly establish upper and lower arm positioning for repetitive work like loading trucks. Additionally, return-to-dig limits can be set for efficient loader material excavation. The 440 and 450 models can be ordered from the factory or easily field-retrofitted with the optional loader quick coupler that delivers quick work tool changes and increased machine versatility using the Cat Integrated Tool Carrier (IT) system. Twist-to-connect quick disconnects for both the loader and backhoe arm attachments deliver fast connectivity under pressure. These backhoe loaders feature adjustable auxiliary hydraulic flow to the work tool to efficiently operate powered attachments. The 440 and 450 backhoe loaders come standard with Product Link systems that transmit critical machine operating data via VisionLink back to the office. Key company personnel can be notified of machine fault codes, service reminders, fuel levels, and machine utilization, hours and location to improve fleet management.

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. The following year Northwest Engineering added, the latter being a heavy 4-wheel drive The Dynahoe 200-4 became the 200-4B Co. became Terex Corporation. model with four large equal-sized wheels, under the Bucyrus-Erie banner.

One of the most notable updates, the 310L, 310SL, 315SL, 310SL HL and 410L models are now equipped with a 4.5L John Deere PowerTech EWL engine, increasing power, improving torque and providing greater reliability.

John Deere upgraded its L-Series backhoe loaders, unveiling significant machine improvements designed to boost productivity, maximize uptime and reduce operating costs. Ranging across the L-Series Backhoe lineup, the updates, which include engine upgrades, new pressure-compensated loadsensing (PCLS) hydraulics on the 310SL model and machine control improvements, enhance operation and machine performance. One of the most notable updates, the 310L, 310SL, 315SL, 310SL HL and 410L models are now equipped with a 4.5L John Deere PowerTech EWL engine, increasing power, improving torque and providing greater reliability. This Final Tier IV engine results in a boost in horsepower across the models, while the removal of the exhaust gas recirculation system and components improves reliability, according to the manufacturer. The redesign also includes improved filter locations for easier access when changing or servicing fuel and diesel exhaust fluid filters. Additionally, the 310SL is now available with PCLS hydraulics. Already offered on the 310SL HL, 410L and 710L, the PCLS system results in increased productivity and improved backhoe controllability at any engine speed. In addition, trenching operation can be conducted at lower engine rpm, reducing fuel consumption and lowering job site noise. “We are committed to continuously improving our equipment to offer our customers more value out of their machines,” said Brian Hennings, product manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “With these upgrades, we are directly addressing our cus-

tomers’ needs. These upgrades build upon the best features found on the L-Series machines, resulting in a lineup designed to power through the toughest jobs.” The 310SL is now equipped with Lift Mode. When enabled, it automatically sets the engine speed to 1,400 rpm and increases max hydraulic pressure to 4,000 psi, for up to a 10 to 15 percent increase in backhoe lift capacity. Additionally, buttons for the horn, selective flow, auxiliary proportional roller and extendable dipper stick have been integrated into the backhoe pilot controls, improving ease of use. Now available as a base offering on the 310SL, 315SL, 310SL HL, 410L and 710L models, AutoShift technology automatically adjusts the transmission to the most appropriate gear for an enhanced operator experience. Additionally, the five models now feature Auto Ride Control as the only ride control option, eliminating the need to manually turn on and off during load and carry applications. Auto Ride Control enhances ease of use, improves ride quality and reduces front bucket material spillage. Other key features include an LED boom light kit for increased visibility to the bottom of the trench and a redesigned loader lever linkage that reduces resistance and improves its throw and feel. The 310L EP model includes updates designed to deliver more value at an economical price. Key changes to the 310L EP include a simpler front-axle design and a four-speed manual synchromesh transmission. Directional changes remain controlled with a steering column mounted lever for forward, neutral and reverse. For more information, visit www.deere.com/. 

Woods Construction Services Relies On Heavy Machines Inc. WOODS from page 24

The ASV has provided us with good up time and productivity. From the research I have done on skid steers, without stepping up to a purpose-built carrier, I don’t think there is a skid steer-style machine on the market that can compete with it. The RT120F has more hydraulic holding capacity, and the radiators and coolers are huge.” Heavy Machines Gives Woods a Safety Net One of the key reasons that has kept Woods Construction Services coming back to Heavy Machines time and again, Woods said, is the high level of product support and service, a refrain heard from most customers of the Memphis equipment dealership. Woods said that he, too, was drawn to Heavy Machines because of its reputation, but also because he knew Eric Hinshaw, the company’s vice president and general manager; and Paul Jones, its sales manager. “Then, once I got over there, it was obvious [Heavy Machines’] service was outstanding,” Woods said. “They are very attentive to their customers. We also like how helpful they are when we have problems. If

they have anything available, they will get us a machine to use while ours is down and in for repair.” In the few times Woods’ company has had an emergency due to a faulty piece of equipment, Heavy Machines has always come up with a quick solution to get the contractor up and running again. “One time, we had some bad fuel or something, although we are not really sure what had happened,” he said. “I called Paul [Jones] on a Sunday when we were in a pinch. I asked him, ‘Man, do you know any contractors that might have a set of filters for our trackhoe? Can you help me out because we need to roll?’ He told me his truck was nearby in Collierville, Tenn., and the toolbox was unlocked. Inside was a brand-new set of filters that he kept there. So, I drove there, picked up the filters, took them to the job and we were working again in one hour. “If they had been just another vendor, we may not have been able to get back to work on that job until Monday morning.” It could be, too, that Woods Construction Services has also learned from the 50-yearold Heavy Machines distributorship just how a great business is operated over the long term and what is needed to keep its cus-

tomers happy. “We strive to provide the best service that we can,” Woods said. “Simply put, we want to do good work, so we spend a lot of time making sure that what we do is correct and performed the right way. We take a lot of pride in the jobs that we do for our clients.”

James River’s New Raleigh Hub Also Serves as Rebuild Center

James River Equipment’s new Raleigh location has been designated as a John Deere Certified Rebuild Center. RALEIGH from page 12

for inbound shipping and receiving,” Dillenback said. “Just the sheer volume of trucks that we received daily at our old location was not conducive to that kind of traffic. The local highway system here, which intersects near us, and the trajectory of growth in the region are key for this company.” Customers Appreciate James River’s Investment Jesse Pfohl, the James River sales manager of North Carolina, acknowledged that the lingering presence of COVID-19 did not allow for a proper open house event for the new Raleigh facility where customers could have toured the dealership and asked questions about its capabilities. But, he said, he and his staff have conducted many individual walk-throughs of the new hub. “I think that we have had at least half of our key customers through here and they have been very impressed both with the expansions and seeing the amount of inventory we are carrying, from small equipment up to the largest products that we represent,” he said. “They have also seen the dramatic increase in the parts stock in our rather large warehouse. In addition, we have a new grade control demonstration area that is outfitted with technology for Trimble and Topcon offerings. We can take equipment to the demo area, whether it is a simple skid steer or a John Deere Smart Grade excavator, to demonstrate to potential customers.” He said James River’s Raleigh customers also have a deep appreciation for the investments the company is making to support the high-tech components that are becoming standard on today’s construction equipment. But, Pfohl added, selling them these products is one thing — meeting their higher expectations in supporting the technology is much greater. The dealership, though, is up to that challenge, he said “When we give customers a tour, they see that we are geared up, able and ready to support these high-tech products after the sale,” Pfohl said. “They also understand that we are invested for the long haul.” Dillenback echoed those sentiments, while adding, “The industry is rapidly changing, and our manufacturers are pushing for higher technology in relationship with that customer base so that they can realize the cost savings that come along with the advances. From our standpoint, having a trained group of people who can impact and influence customers

Tony Casper (L) and David Brearley of James River Equipment in Raleigh.

positively is key to expansion.” Parts, Service Capabilities Accentuated Both Dillenback and Pfohl regard the parts and service managers at Raleigh’s James River dealership as being talented professionals who each love the new, modern facility. “Allen Foster, our parts manager, would certainly tell you that he can stock more critical components than he ever has before,” Dillenback said. “The fact that Raleigh’s location acts as a hub for eastern North Carolina is also a huge plus for his department. Having a facility here with a central warehouse is most beneficial as we run a truck daily between all our locations and Raleigh.” “On the facility side, our service manager, Sean Betts, is thrilled that we have moved into a state-of-the-art building,” said Pfohl. “A major component of that are the internal investments that we have made in technology in the shop in how we handle orders and how they are tied in to work orders, and the capacity that we have there both in terms of volume and technology, with welding, machining and a complete track shop and cylinder shop.” With the expanded room for service, Dillenback said more than 20 diverse kinds of machines could be worked on simultaneously in its new service bays, a few of which utilize 10ton overhead cranes. Thirty-five technicians work within the service department, along with three field-based technology consultants to support Raleigh’s customers. To handle mobile maintenance, the dealership’s service techs utilize 15 service trucks, three lube trucks and two mobile welding trucks. John Deere Selects Raleigh for Rebuild Center But the most newsworthy service that the Raleigh branch of James River now offers comes as a result of its recent recognition as a John Deere Certified Rebuild Center. That means James River’s technicians are specifically trained to perform second life rebuilds on the larger John Deere production-class machines used by the dealer’s customers. Pfohl said John Deere introduced its concept a couple of years ago and began awarding dealers the recognition late last year. But, he added, James River Equipment has itself been doing rebuilds for more than 20 years.

“John Deere would look at qualifying dealerships and say ‘OK, here are the parameters for you to meet to call yourself a Certified Rebuild Center so that we can offer the factory back warranty on rebuilt machines,’” he said. “James River played a part in helping John Deere define what should be a customer’s expectations as far as facilities and technicians are concerned for the rebuild centers.” John Deere, through James River in Raleigh, offers its relife program for production-class machines, including the manufacturer’s larger excavators, dozers, wheel loaders and articulated trucks. Dillenback said the bigger John Deere models typically qualify for rebuilds because of the price point involved. Getting a re-life performed rather than buying a new machine of similar capabilities can save a contractor anywhere from one-third to one-half the cost. “The cost-benefit analysis must work versus what you are going to get in return for a machine that you may just opt to trade in and replace with a new one,” he said. “You can drive a lower cost per hour based on life cycle if you can run that machine for more hours on your additional investment, have it on a good maintenance program and do the certified rebuild process.” That Certified Rebuild program can include a multitude of upgrades, depending on the equipment, its size, its brand and the expectations of the customer, according to Pfohl. For instance, a piece of heavy equipment can simply get a minimal refresh in the off season, whether it’s a cleaning and a pressure wash for a John Deere wheel loader, or it can be given an extensive secondary re-life. “As an example, a John Deere 944 mid-size wheel loader could need a second or third life rebuild where the machine is taken down to the frame, inspected, repaired, get its harnesses and hoses replaced, along with its major components,” he said “‘Certified’ in the eyes of John Deere means that we have a trained certified technician performing the inspections, performing the repairs and replacements and after completion the piece returns to service with an extended factory warranty.” For more information, call 919/772-2121, or visit www.jamesriverequipment.com.

OSHA Likely to Enhance Workplace Injury, Illness Tracking OSHA from page 8

In just the pre-rule stage, the federal agency’s proposed measure may not make any progress toward becoming reality until October. That’s when the agency will issue a request for information seeking public input on a possible rulemaking on heat illness prevention in indoor and outdoor settings. A request for information “would allow the agency to begin a dialogue and engage with stakeholders to explore the potential for rulemaking on this topic,” according to the Association of Builders and Contractors (ABC). OSHA spokeswoman Denisha Braxton said “OSHA continues strong enforcement related to heat illness using the General Duty Clause.” Daniel Kaplan, a partner of Foley & Lardner LLP in Madison, Wis., believes a federal OSHA heat stress rule could be useful if it’s clear about how employers should comply. He suggests employer should check their precautions against OSHA’s guidance in the heat stress section of its technical manual. The manual stresses acclimatization of workers and teaching them to recognize heat stress symptoms. It also recommends ways to reduce heat stress such as providing shade, cool drinks and changing work schedules to avoid the hottest part of the day. OSHA will likely seek comment on heat stress thresholds, heat acclimatization planning, exposure monitoring and medical monitoring, according to Bloomberg Law. The agency turned down petitions to undertake such a rulemaking during the Obama and Trump administrations. But Democrats in the House and Senate introduced companion bills earlier this year addressing the need for a standard. The bills would mandate that OSHA issue a proposed heat rule within two years of the law’s enactment and issue a final rule within 3½ years. Neither bill has been scheduled for a committee hearing. In the 2019-2020 congressional session, then-Sen. Kamala Harris (DCalif.) sponsored a similar bill that never came up for a vote. Announcing the bill, she said, “it is absolutely unconscionable that workers in industries from agriculture to construction face excessive heat conditions for hours each day with no protections for their health and safety.”

Back-Tracking On Workplace Injury Contractors can expect to see enhanced workplace injury and illness tracking under the Biden Administration’s OSHA. The agency wants to revert to the 2016 version of the rule. OSHA’s proposed regulation includes anti-retaliation provisions that could discourage workplace safety and health incentive programs and postincident drug testing, according to Malveaux. “A reversion could signal that OSHA will view drug testing and incentive programs as a form of employer retaliation,” he said. Proposed changes would require establishments with at least 250 employees to provide electronic submissions of injury and illness data in addition to the less detailed summary data currently required, said Malveaux. “This could have a particular impact on larger construction sites that report more injuries and illnesses because of

the sheer number of employees working at a site,” he cautioned. “It also may have an outsized impact as construction employers grapple with marijuana legalization laws and worker intoxication. “Regardless of the cause, substance and alcohol abuse lead to more workplace accidents and injuries,” wrote Malveaux, noting that dehydration from alcoholism also can lead to several different heat illnesses. Other Proposals Worth Watching OSHA has proposed a communication tower safety standard aimed at keeping more tower construction and maintenance workers alive. A projected increase in tower installations and repairs over the next few years has the agency concerned that the fatality rate has “greatly exceeded that of the rest of the construction industry.” The goal of the proposal is to greatly decrease that rate as more workers enter the industry.  CEG

OSHA will issue a request for information seeking public input on a possible rulemaking on heat illness prevention in October.

OSHA is expected to propose clarification for the fit of personal protective equipment in construction in September.

B&N Grading’s Heather Thompson Urges Women to Consider Construction B&N from page 42

“We could not do what we do without a great employee base, which has taken us years to grow,” Thompson said. “We started with a select few, and to this day a majority of those employees are still with us. We also have great backup in the person of General Manager Mitch Walker, who joined our company in 2015; and our controller, Becky Thomson, who has been with us since 2014.” Like many young mothers, Thompson had to find that delicate balance between raising (and home-schooling) two small boys and managing a small company. After 11 years, she said she is now much more involved in each aspect of the company’s operation. New Cat Cold Planer Boosts B&N’s Production From its beginning, B&N Grading also has built a trusting rapport with Carolina Cat. Thompson’s company has turned to the distributor many times over the years to purchase, rent and trade machines ranging from pavers to cold planers to rollers to skid steers. She and Hux prefer Cat machines from Carolina Cat because of that relationship, and the people there with whom they have worked over the years. “Everybody that we have ever dealt with there has always helped us to get from point A to point B, including financing, maintenance on the machine and answering any questions we may have,” Thompson said. “We have simply found Carolina Cat to be a very reputable company with wonderful employees.” Recently, B&N Grading made another equipment purchase when it acquired a 2021 Cat PM622 cold planer, a high-production, half-lane milling machine with an 88-in. cutting width that performs controlled full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass. “We chose that model because we wanted a larger mill to use on highways and large parking lots,” she said. “Being a high production machine, it will eat up a parking lot very quickly.” She added that the decision to trade in its 2018 Cat PM622 for the newest model was made easier by the maker’s willingness to listen to its customers. "For one, Cat has come a long way with their planers,” Thompson said. “We also liked that machine because it has a lot of things on it that we wanted and had mentioned to Cat, such as places to store our paint cans and hang our shovels, and the fact that it also has LED lights. We feel that they legitimately listened to us as customers and implemented some of the things we wanted. That means a lot to us and to most people, I would think.” Jonathan Law, the manager of Carolina Cat’s paving division in the western half of North Carolina, added that Cat, in turn, appreciates customer feedback when it is doing research and development on a new product, a time when the manufacturer is looking to make improvements on its machines. “Brian Hux and Bob Milliken [who heads up B&N Grading’s paving and milling operations], among others, were on a factory trip about 18 months ago where we discussed some of those things and when Cat replaced its earlier model PM622s with this new one, Brian and Bob could see

that many of the upgrades that we had talked about around the table before with the company were now on the machines. It’s pretty cool to have that kind of input with the manufacturer.” Shortly after taking possession of the new Cat PM622, Thompson said the new rig was already proving its worth. “The LED lights on the Cat milling machine were probably the top improvement, especially when we are doing night work,” she said. “Having those extra bright lights are great — I think the biggest complaints from any company working on a job site at night is the lighting.” Among the other Cat equipment used by B&N Grading are AP555F pavers, model CB24B, CB34B, CB54B, CB214E, CW14 and CW7 rollers, as well as a pair of 262D3 skid steers. Other machines in B&N Grading’s fleet include 10 dump trucks, another cold planer, an Etnyre chip spreader,and a Weiler P385B paver and CT3 rubber-tire roller. “Carolina Cat is also the best company with which we have worked as far as service — hands down,” Thompson said. “Not only do they provide training to our guys on any machine, but they will come on site at any hour of the day or night that we need them. That’s great because depending on the job, sometimes we never know which hours our crews will need to work.” Thompson — Trendsetter Among Women With Thompson holding a majority stake in B&N Grading, the company has received the status of being both a woman-owned and a minority-owned business, qualifications designated by the states in which the company works. Leading a highly-successful woman-owned paving and grading company — in a historically male-dominated industry — has made Thompson a bit of a trendsetter and someone to look up to among girls and young women wanting a career in construction. “I would say to them that they can do this type of work if they are willing to put their minds to it,” she said. “Yes, it is primarily a man’s world, but it is not a closed society by any means. There are many more women in the industry than most people think. It’s just that their voice may not be heard as loud. This is hard work, but it is worth the fight.” Thompson noted that there are a lot of different avenues for women that want to work in construction, from sales to working on site. She employs at least five female truck drivers at B&N Grading, she said, with four other women holding key jobs in the office. But she acknowledged that more gains still need to be made for women in the building trades. For instance, she said B&N Grading “unfortunately does not yet have very many” women operating at its project sites. Thompson recalled how tough it was for her to earn the respect of the men in the industry when she and Hux first started the company in 2010. “It was very difficult because not only was I a woman, but I was also very young,” she said. “I am still the youngest one in our entire company, so that’s why I depend on a lot of other people to learn all I can. I want to know how they made it.” (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2021 Construction Equipment Guide. All Rights Reserved.)  CEG

N.C. Looks to Defray I-26 Interchange Cost Through Federal Grant Money INTERCHANGE from page 36

Waiting for Details Chris Joyell, director of healthy community at MountainTrue, the Asheville-based environmental advocacy nonprofit, told the Citizen Times that the interchange is “not a surprise.” His organization realized it was part of an economic incentive package. While an interchange certainly could have environmental impacts, Joyell said it was difficult to comment on until firm plans emerge, according to the Asheville news source. “We don’t know exactly where it’s going to be, and we don’t know exactly how big it’s going to be, and therefore we don’t really know what the environmental or community impacts are going to be,” Joyell said. He said his organization will wait to see which building options emerge as frontrunners. Between the ongoing widening of an 18-mi. stretch of I26 between the Brevard Road interchange in Buncombe County and Four Seasons Boulevard in Henderson County, and the upcoming I-26 Connector project, Joyell is concerned about I-26 becoming home to ever-burgeoning traffic counts. The coming eight-lane I-26, along with the $1 billion I-26 Connector project around Asheville, may induce more development demand, he feared. Another interchange, along with the larger highway capacity, could bring in more devel-

opment — and more sprawl. Potential Funding Sources N.C. State Sen. Edwards has previously worked to secure $30 million in additional funding for the new I-26 interchange. It is currently in a bill making its way through the General Assembly. “We are awaiting approval from the Federal Highway Administration [FHA] for authorization to move forward with the interchange,” Edwards replied to the Citizen Times via email. “NCDOT had to submit to FHA seven plans ranging in size and scope.” NCDOT also is pursuing federal grant monies, particularly those from the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. In addition, NCDOT will look to the Appalachian Regional Commission and the U.S. Economic Development Administration, Coates said. If NCDOT successfully secures federal money, it would defray the amount needed from the state, he added. Currently, $10 million in state economic development funding, Coates said, has “been committed from the highest levels of the NCDOT to the project.” If passed by the state House, Edwards’ proposal would need Gov. Roy Cooper’s signature to finalize it. 
