U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass: Another Upgrade to Critical North Carolina Corridor
The coronavirus is a fact of life on the construction job site this year, and contractors have been forced to change the way they complete projects as a result. It is an ongoing challenge as the industry conditions itself to new approaches to work and personal safety. But best practices and ingenuity have advanced safety and efficiency on the construction job site. Beyond social distancing, sanitizing and personal protection equipment (PPE), contractors and site owners are adopting site safety protocols for tracking traffic and materials; integrating apps, drones and wearables to monitor employee distancing and exposure; and expanding daily routines to include temperature checks and limit in-person meetings. “Responsible contractors are hungry to publicly prove they can work safely and prevent the spread of COVID-19 while supporting the nation’s critical infrastructure and providing much-needed income for the people who work on those projects,” wrote Jordan Hollingsworth, field operations manager of Safety Management Group, Indianapolis, Ind., in a company blog post. “After all, the construction industry employs almost 10.7 million people in the United States,” he added. Massman Construction, Overland Park, Kan., is clear about its company-wide safety policy. “The Massman Safety and Health Plan is a living document that is updated frequently based on project-specific requirements for safety, security and environmental stewardship. The plan outlines the written program that assists our project teams in preventing incidents and injuries on our project sites.”
Although not an interstate highway, U.S. Highway 70 in eastern North Carolina is steadily being transformed into one. CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR The highway is already one of the state’s most critical transportation arteries. Most of the route across the length of the state is made up of four lanes, while some sections have been converted to freeways. In North Carolina, U.S. 70 runs 488 mi. east to west from the Atlantic Ocean to the state’s mountainous border with Tennessee. Along the way it passes through every region of the Tarheel State, including the Appalachian Mountains, the foothills and the Piedmont Triad and Triangle cities.
Contractor Conquers Challenges Tempe, Ariz.-based Sundt Construction chose “to get out in front” of the challenge, taking a direct approach to the coronavirus. “Construction firms have been given a tall order: To maintain workers’ safety during a pandemic while also building essential structures that allow society to function,” the company stated in a press release on its pandemic response.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK LEADS TO BOBCAT’S NEW E165 EXCAVATOR
A slew of high-profile road projects in the Asheville, N.C., area, including the I-26 Connector, are facing delays, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT).
Bobcat’s research showed a number of existing customers with large-frame loaders were also in need of an excavator in the 14 to 19-ton size class to help with foundation work, road work and other more heavy-duty construction tasks.

Brex Enterprises Sets New Standards for Safety, Innovation Based in Irwin, Pa., – approximately 22 mi. southeast of Pittsburgh, Brex Enterprises provides pipeline maintenance and services; earthwork and development; trucking and hauling; and right-of-way services. A family business with a history of generations of construction experience, it operates mainly in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and New York. Founded in 2012 as Brentzel Excavation LLC, the company, attributes its growth and success to building upon a solid foundation comprised of five essential components, according to Alicia Brentzel, president and co-owner with husband Andrew (A.J.). The company was begun when A.J. — who had been working for a family member doing excavation — decided to form his own excavation business. Slowly, the company moved into also doing pipeline work for the oil and gas industry. Eagle Eye Productions photo In 2014, Brentzel Excavation LLC changed its name to a Founded in 2012 as Brentzel Excavation LLC, Brex DBA (Doing Business As): Brex Enterprises. ‘Br’ for Enterprises attributes its growth and success to Brentzel and ‘ex’ for excavation. building upon a solid foundation consisting of five A.J.’s family construction history spans back four gener- essential components, said Alicia Brentzel, president ations and touches upon most aspects of construction. and co-owner with husband Andrew (A.J.). At the beginning of 2019, Brex Enterprises earned a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) cer- Eagle Eye Productions photo tification from the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). It is a private thirdparty that certifies women-owned businesses on behalf of U.S. corporations or WBE certification through city, county or state programs. “The certification gives us another tool in our toolbox to use to go after certain government contracts that require a minimum participation level of spend with small businesses and diverse business enterprises,” she explains. Foundation of Safety One part of the company’s foundation is safety, said Alicia Brentzel. “Our employees are the company’s greatest asset and their health and safety is the company’s number one priority. Our safety record is amazing and we attribute that to truly establishing the priority that safety is first. We do not make any sacrifices to safety, period.” All employees receive comprehensive annual training from company management on all aspects of work Brex Enterprises does. A company safety committee — made up of employees and managers — meet monthly to monitor and address issues. The committee also conducts on-site inspections at random. There is a company-wide commitment to safety on an employee and management level, she added. This is achieved through initial training and annual training thereafter.
All employees receive comprehensive annual training from company management on all aspects of work Brex Enterprises does. A company safety committee – made up of employees and managers – meet monthly to monitor and address issues. The committee also conducts on-site inspections at random.
The company’s safety training programs comply with all clients’ requests and regulatory agencies, including the U.S. DOT and OSHA. Being in the oil and gas industry there are already additional safety measures that we must comply with, Brentzel pointed out. That includes SafeLandUSA training — a standardized orientation training for workers in the U.S. Onshore and Gas Exploration & Production industries. “Part of our bidding process is to conduct a preliminary safety analysis of the job to determine if we need to add more time and additional safety measures. Things that would add cost or time to a job is accounted for upfront." Up to 2018, the company had no lost work claims. Since then there has been only minor incidents. Measuring Customer Satisfaction “Another part of our solid foundation is customer satisfaction, which we pride ourselves on,” said Brentzel. “One of the things we do to measure customer satisfaction, aside from ongoing checks, is that is after every project we do surveys. These are typically sent to the site supervisor and essentially everyone we have worked with on that job. “The survey is just a couple of questions to seek feedback. We ask things like: how was our performance, what could we improve on, do you want to call out anything that was positive or negative? This enables us to continuously monitor and improve the customer experience we provide.” Innovation Drives Growth Innovation is another foundation component. The development and application of ideas, improvements and technologies improves processes, productivity, profitability and safety, which, in turn drives company growth, Brentzel pointed out. By way of example, the company has created a custom attachment for its excavating machines that increase safety and productivity.
Growth Through Vertical Integration Obviously, growth is good for a business, is vital for future success and must be part of a company’s foundation, said Brentzel. The company is All new employees are paired up with an experienced worker to more constantly looking to take advantage of new quickly get them acclimated to the job and the company ways. New opportunities and attract more customers. “We are also developing new ranges of services employees are moved around to different positions so they are able to perform different duties. for our customers by taking a vertical integration strategy. With this, our customers do not have Eagle Eye Productions photo to go to multiple companies to have work done.” Staying True to Core Values The remaining component of Brex Enterprises’ foundation is its cores values: accountability, selfless leadership and integrity. • Accountability. The objective here is to have all employees to be accountable and responsible for accomplishing the company’s business goals, explained Brentzel. For this to happen, employees need to understand those goals and the company’s values. see BREX page 74

Eric Kalivoda, deputy secretary of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, recently was announced as the recipient of the prestigious Thomas H. MacDonald Memorial Award. The award is the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) top award and is presented each year to someone who has “rendered continuous outstanding service over an extended period of time or have made some exceptional contribution to the art and science of highway engineering.” Kalivoda has served on the executive staff as the deputy secretary for the past ten years. Prior to his appointment as deputy secretary, he served as the assistant secretary of
“The state is lucky to have someone like him because he is an expert in transportation planning and programming.” Shawn D. Wilson Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development
Planning and Multimodal Commerce for five years. He has worked in transportation for 40 years, nearly 30 with DOTD. “Having worked with Eric for nearly 16 years, I can tell you there is no one more deserving of this award and no one more dedicated than him to making Louisiana’s infrastructure safe and reliable,” said DOTD Secretary Shawn D. Wilson. “The state is lucky to have someone like him because he is an expert in transportation planning and programming.” Kalivoda has been instrumental in the development of multiple editions of Louisiana’s Statewide Transportation Plan, ranging from 1996 through the most current version adopted in 2015; this included Louisiana’s first Statewide Intermodal Transportation Plan, which was selected as one of six model plans for the nation under the federal Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act. “It’s an honor to be recognized by AASHTO with this award; this is very humbling,” Kalivoda said. “I’m proud of what we have accomplished in Louisiana, and I believe the foundation is set for moving projects forward efficiently when additional revenue becomes available. “Another great honor is when we see projects move forward, like the many interstate widening and other infrastructure improvement projects that are currently ongoing. However, there is so much more we can do to strengthen Louisiana’s economy if DOTD has the necessary support and resources. We have the potential to move to the top among the 50 states given our geographic location, our wealth of natural resources, and the creativity and ingenuity of Louisiana’s people.” For more information, visit www.dotd.la.gov.

TDOT Begins Work on U.S. 64 Bridge Over Ocoee River Contractor crews began a project Sept. 8 to replace the bridge on U.S. Highway 64 over the Ocoee River in Tennessee’s Polk County. The site is in the mountains of the Cherokee National Forest at the state’s southeastern border, near the Georgia and North Carolina state lines. The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) enterprise will be performed using the design-build method, an approach that combines all or some portions of the design and construction phases of a project into a single contract. TDOT is using the design-build concept on some of its larger projects to expedite project completions and streamline design processes. The design-build team for the U.S. 64 bridge replacement project consists of contractor Charles Blalock and Sons Inc. of Sevierville, Tenn., and Volkert Inc., a construction engineering company headquartered in Mobile, Ala. The cost of the new bridge is $12.6 million, with the work slated for completion on or before May 30, 2022. The project includes construction of a threespan, steel I-beam structure on new alignment to the north of the existing bridge. The span will be approximately 600 ft. long with two 12 ft. travel lanes (one in each direction), a dedicated center turn lane, and 10-ft. shoulders. It will accommodate future widening to a four-lane U.S. 64 over the Ocoee River Bridge.
facility. Additionally, the new structure will be a signature bridge with visually appealing features including the Ocoee River emblem, rock finishes, aesthetic bridge rails and lighting. The project also includes intersection improvements at Hildabrand Road to the west of the bridge and Welcome Valley Road to the east. During the first phase of the job, the contractor will begin work on the section between Hildabrand Road and the Ocoee River. That effort will consist of excavation, haul road and retaining wall construction, and bridge foundation work. The section of U.S. 64 over the Ocoee River is classified as a Rural Principal Arterial route. It is part of a larger corridor that runs 394 mi. across the southern portion of Tennessee, connecting rural cities and communities. Originally built in 1937, the existing 546-ft.long bridge has surpassed the average lifespan for its type and is showing structural and functional deterioration. In contrast to the new U.S. 64 bridge structure, it is a six-span, concrete Tbeam bridge with shoulders only 1 ft. wide. The proposed new bridge would improve the safety and operation of the facility, updating the bridge to current standards and allowing for later expansion, if required.
Asheville’s I-26 Connector Among Several Facing Delays A slew of high-profile road projects in the Asheville, N.C., area, including the I-26 Connector, are facing delays, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT). A revised schedule of projects from across the state was released by the agency in early September. Joining the I-26 Connector on the calendar of road jobs in Bumcombe County road jobs is the widening efforts on Sweeten Creek Road, N.C. Highway 191 and Sand Hill/Sardis Road. NCDOT Division 13 engineer Mark Gibbs said many of the proposed changes will not impact actual construction dates, but some, including the schedule for the portion of the I-26 Connector around the I-40 interchange, will be pushed back. He explained that the delays are due to a financial situation at the NCDOT that stems from the coronavirus pandemic; overspending in the previous fiscal year, which he primarily tied to unexpected natural disaster expenses; and rising cost estimates for the projects themselves. “Obviously the first is the COVID-19 virus,” Gibbs said. NCDOT is a state tax-revenue funded department, with a gas tax serving as its primary source of revenue.
“When people stop driving, we stopped receiving revenue,” he said. “So, our funding went down significantly over the last six months. It is starting to come back, and that’s good news.” NCDOT officials also blamed their financial problems on unexpected repairs and cleanup after storms, including hurricanes Matthew in 2016 and Florence in 2018. The department, too, reevaluated its projects and found “pretty significant cost increases across the board.” “Those are some factors as to why our revenues are about $3 billion down — and that’s a projection over the next 10 years,” he said. “When you have those kind of significant additional expenses and lost revenues, then you end up with having to go through this exercise to reprogram the STIP (Strategic Transportation Improvement Program).” The schedule changes are still contingent upon approval from the state’s 20-person Board of Transportation, which Gibbs said isn’t set in stone, although items before the group are usually rubber-stamped. The board is set to discuss the matter during its October meeting. The proposal also relies on the sale of $700 million in NC Build Bonds.
“We are hopeful that both of these things will happen, and the projects will move forward under the proposed schedule,” he said. The modifications will not affect the widening of an 18-mi. stretch of I-26 between the Brevard Road interchange in Buncombe County and Four Seasons Boulevard in Henderson County. Construction on that project began in September 2019 and is still slated for completion in late April 2024. I-26 Connector Plans for the I-26 Connector date to the 1990s. The $1 billion project will be one of the largest highway constructions in western North Carolina. Spanning 7 mi., it will bridge I-26 in southwest Asheville with U.S. Highway 19/23/70 (Future I-26) in the northwest part of town. In addition, the Connector will upgrade and widen I-240 from I-40 to Patton Avenue, and then cross the French Broad River as a new freeway to U.S. 19/23/70, slightly south of the Broadway interchange. The project is designed to reduce traffic congestion, increase commerce, provide an improved gateway into the Asheville and include bicycle and pedestrian facilities. The NCDOT has broken the project down into sections A, C and a combined section BD.
Gibbs said the “bad news” of the proposed schedule revisions are tied to section C — which encompasses the I-26/I-40 interchange — where construction is facing “a pretty significant delay of four to five years.” “Most people probably see this as I do [that] that’s the area where you have the most congestion and the most problems,” he said. “I understand that because I [live south of Asheville and] drive through there twice a day.” He said NCDOT will incorporate some of the worst, most congested areas into the section A work, so portions will move forward sooner. But overall, the project’s completion will be pushed back. Design on the project is now set to begin in 2025. Construction will begin in “2030/future years”, according the new NCDOT schedule. For the other parts of the I-26 Connector, Gibbs said all that has changed is the “delivery method,” or the process of designing and constructing the projects. Section A and the combined sections BD “generally have the same schedule going forward,” he explained. There is no estimated completion date for these two sections, but Gibbs said he hopes to see construction start “as early as late 2023, but more likely the year 2024.”

ARTBA Tells Federal Court NEPA Reforms Have to Be Upheld The Trump administration’s recent modernization of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a “long overdue remedy” bringing “much-needed clarity after decades of conflict and confusion” that have needlessly delayed essential transportation projects, the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) told a federal court Sept. 2. The ARTBA filing at the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Virginia presents a vigorous defense of the administration’s efforts to update NEPA against an onslaught by various groups seeking to strike down the reforms in court. ARTBA and its allies argue that reforming NEPA will improve a decades-old review procedure that has unnecessarily stymied critically needed improvements to the nation’s transportation infrastructure. NEPA was enacted in 1970 to ensure that federal agencies consider environmental effects before undertaking major federal actions, including transportation improvement projects, that will significantly impact the environment.
...changes to NEPA, ARTBA explained, “reduce the costs and delays that have become endemic to the NEPA process, bringing much-needed clarity after decades of conflict and confusion.” However, ARTBA told the court that NEPA had become an “impenetrably complex regulatory program that applies in circumstances that Congress never could have intended, requires analyses that often serve no practical purpose, and results in endless litigation intended to obstruct and delay.” The Trump administration’s changes to NEPA, ARTBA explained, “reduce the costs and delays that have become endemic to the NEPA process, bringing much-needed clarity after decades of conflict and confusion.” ARTBA is joined in its efforts by the American Farm Bureau Federation, American Forest Resource Council, American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers, American Petroleum Institute, Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, Federal Forest Resource Coalition, Interstate Natural Gas Association of America and National Cattlemen’s Beef Association. The case is Wild Virginia et. al. v. Council on Environmental Quality et. al. A decision on whether to place the NEPA reforms on hold while litigation continues is expected by Sept. 14, which is the date the new rules are scheduled to take effect.

Complete Upgrades The South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) proposed to replace the existing U.S. Highway 301 (Bamberg Road) southbound bridge over the South Edisto River in Bamberg and Orangeburg counties and the adjacent Bobcat Landing Road (State Road 439) bridge in Bamberg County. The project includes demolishing the existing U.S. 301 southbound structure and improving the roadway approaches to meet current design standards. Similar work is planned to redo the bridge on SR 439 and realigning the roadway itself to better maintain and improve access to Bobcat Landing from U.S. 301. Bamberg Road will be shifted south onto a new alignment to line up with the existing U.S. 301 median access road just south of the U.S. 301 bridge, according to a SCDOT notice on the project. Bobcat Landing Road and the boat ramp will remain open during construction of its new bridge. Construction on both is set to begin late this year or in early 2021. To allow traffic to be maintained along Bamberg Road through the project area during construction, the proposed project requires traffic control north and south of the U.S. 301 bridge. As crews work, the southbound lanes of U.S. 301 in the project area will temporarily close and all southbound traffic will be shifted to a northbound travel lane using crossovers in the median of the highway. The crossovers will be created by adding approximately 8 ft. of pavement to the northbound side of Bamberg Road, 12 ft. of pavement to the median in one location north of the bridge, and another 12 ft. of pavement to a location south of the bridge to get motorists from the southbound side of U.S. 301 to the northbound. Opposing traffic on the northbound side will be separated with concrete barriers or flexible delineators, the SCDOT said. Other temporary daily lane and shoulder closures may also be necessary on U.S. 301 during project construction. Four design alternatives were considered for the projects — two for each of the bridge replacements. The U.S. 301 southbound bridge work’s preferred alternative includes building the new structure on the current centerline of Bamberg Road South with no shift in the alignment. Therefore, traffic would be maintained through the project area during construction, according to the SCDOT. The preferred alternative for the Bobcat Landing Road bridge upgrade creates a new alignment for SR 439 that would allow for construction of a new span. Demolition of the old bridge and removal of the existing roadway embankment would occur once construction of the new structure is complete; therefore, access to the boat ramp would be maintained during construction. The U.S. 301 southbound bridge was built in 1922, before widened in 1951 and again in 1973. The Bobcat Landing Road bridge is a 53-year-old structure. The SCDOT determined both structures have deficiencies that require replacement bridges. To view project information, visit www.scdot.org.

AEM Mobilizes Voters With Its ‘Equipped to Vote’ Campaign The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) launched Equipped to Vote, a national get-out-the-vote campaign to urge members of the industry to register to vote and support pro-manufacturing candidates in the 2020 election. The goal is to engage, educate and mobilize manufacturing voters on the policies that matter to the equipment manufacturing industry, encourage greater civic engagement and help elect pro-manufacturing candidates. The campaign’s digital action center on www.equippedtovote.org is a one-stop-shop for anyone looking to get involved, including how to register to vote, learn who is running in their district and state and take action to elect candidates who support the equipment manufacturing industry. “The outcome of the election will have a significant impact on equipment manufacturers, the manufacturing sector and the economy for years to come,” said Kip Eideberg, AEM senior vice president of government and industry relations. “With equipment manufacturers responsible for one out of every eight manufacturing jobs in the United States, our industry has a duty to help our people make their voice heard and give them an opportunity to shape the outcome on Election Day. “From infrastructure investment to free and fair trade, it is crucial that the 2.8 million men and women of our industry vote for candidates who will fight for pro-growth policies that allow the equipment manufacturing industry to prosper, grow the economy, and create family-sustaining jobs.” Equipped to Vote is a partnership with AEM’s member companies. The campaign is designed to provide them with tools and resources to engage with their employees and colleagues about the importance of casting their ballots this year. Through a series of interactive games and challenges, all designed to encourage civic participation, participants will earn points toward weekly giveaways and a special grand prize. Each month the campaign will highlight a specific policy priority and explain why it is crucial to the long-term success of equipment manufacturing in the United States: • August: Free and Fair Trade • September: Infrastructure Investment • October: Rural America With about 30 percent of all equipment manufactured in the United States destined for export, free and fair trade policies and agreements are vital to the industry’s prosperity. Equipment manufacturers rely on mutually beneficial trade relationships with our neighbors near and far because open, two-way trade and investment mean more opportunity for the 2.8 million men and women of the industry. “Exporting equipment around the world is crucial to creating American jobs, helping communities succeed, and keeping the United States ahead of global competitors,” said John Garrison, chairman of the board and president and CEO of Terex Corporation and 2020 chair of AEM’s Government and Public Affairs Committee. “Equipment manufacturers count on our elected officials to negotiate trade agreements that are fair and accountable, that create a level playing field, and that put American families and workers first.” For more information, visit aem.org.

Brightline Breaks Ground on $76M Mall Station in Aventura City of Aventura, Fla., Mayor Enid Weisman called the construction of the $76 million Brightline train’s Aventura Mall station a “gamechanger” during a groundbreaking on Sept. 3. “It’s a gamechanger for northeast Dade, not just for Aventura,” Weisman said. Brightline is a privately run inter-city rail route between Miami and West Palm Beach, Fla. The company is currently building an extension to Orlando International Airport, which is expected to enter service in 2022. There’s no doubt that the new Brightline stop north of Miami is going to increase travel options for those in north-

east Miami Dade. And, it should take riders only 15 minutes to get to Aventura from downtown Miami. “Miami-Dade County is going to be investing $76 million in this station, but really, it’s leveraging probably well over $1 billion in investment by Brightline,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez. The station will be located adjacent to Aventura Mall on three acres at the 19800 block of West Dixie Highway/U.S. 1 and can be accessed from both the highway and NE 26th Avenue. The project includes the construction of a new pedestrian bridge over the railroad right-of-way and Biscayne Boulevard, providing direct access to the shopping complex and the Miami-Dade Transit Bus Terminal at Aventura Mall. “Residents from all over Miami-Dade County are going to benefit tremendously as they take the trains here to Aventura and other points in between and further up,” Gimenez said. The vote to go forward with the new train station by Miami-Dade County Commissioners was a contentious one. Commissioners finally passed the land swap and development deal in October 2019. Skeptics were wary of the county’s financial investment, but Gimenez told commissioners that the money would not hinder any other county transportation plans, and that he believed the new train station would serve as a catalyst to create more revenue through real estate development. The Brightline Aventura Mall station was to have been completed by October 2020 but was hampered by delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The project is now expected to be completed by the Autumn of 2021.

Customer Feedback Leads to Bobcat’s New E165 Excavator
The new E165 is ideal for heavier, larger-scale digging and lifting operations on commercial and residential building sites; underground utility applications; and road and bridge projects.
By Katherine Devlin CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
Bobcat Company is constantly evaluating new and current products. “The process to gather the voice of customers is continuous and has always been at the forefront of our product development,” said Jason Boerger, marketing manager, excavators, of Bobcat Company. The company’s research showed it had a number of existing customers with largeframe loaders who were also in need of an excavator in the 14 to 19-ton size class to help with foundation work, road work and other more heavy-duty construction tasks. “Customer feedback was clear and consistent that we needed to offer a larger excavator. The bottom line is, our customers asked for it and we’re delivering,” said Boerger. “Our dealers were also hearing some of the same feedback. They had a number of customers who wanted a larger excavator than what we were offering at the time, but they wanted to stay with the Bobcat brand and continue the relationship they had developed with their dealer.” The new E165 is practical for heavier, larger-scale digging and lifting operations on commercial and residential building sites; underground utility applications; and road and bridge projects.

size Bobcat compact track and skid-steer loaders. “By pairing these machines together, operators can take on both larger-scale job sites and add more projects to their workload with the higher level of productivity the machines provide by working together,” said Boerger.

according to Boerger. The E165 is equipped with a 131 hp engine and conventional tail swing design. It delivers class-leading hydraulics to provide reliable, steady power, saving operators valuable time with every digging cycle. Its lift capacity enables operators to move items with ease, as well as more slew torque for slewing uphill, backfilling and all-around productivity. The E165 also has four selectable power modes: power+ mode, power mode, standard power mode and economy mode. This gives operators the opportunity to adapt performance to any job at hand. Whether the priority is efficient fuel consumption or all-out power for tough applications, operators can set their performance to the demands of the job, all from the com-
fort of the cab. The power boost button is a unique feature of Bobcat large excavators. Operators can take advantage of this feature on both the E145 and E165 excavator. On top of the aforementioned four power modes, the E145 and E165 also offer four work modes to tailor the excavator’s power to the application. • Digging delivers the power and response needed for general operation, from excavation to loading and lifting. Digging performance can be further optimized with the four power modes. • Lifting mode increases pump torque, lowers engine rpm and provides an automatic power boost for lifting materials and objects — like pipe or concrete barriers. • Breaker, or one-way auxiliary hydraulic flow, works for attachments that only require hydraulic power from one direction, such as breakers or plate compactors. • Shear, or two-way auxiliary hydraulic flow, is best for attachments that need bi-directional hydraulic flow, such as a hydraulic clamp, tilting bucket or shear. “We are happy we could bring this product to market to help our dealers better serve their customers and, in turn, help our customers tackle the demanding jobs they face every day,” said Boerger.

Keeping Employees Safe Includes Having Mitigation Plan
Visitors should be able to easily understand your site protocols. Clearly identify specific laydown and staging areas in advance of deliveries. Separate people from staging areas with barriers. COVID from page 1
“In more ways than one, Sundt is taking a hands-on approach to keeping our employee-owners safe on the job site.” Besides several company-wide response measures, Sundt is keeping every project as sanitary as possible. “With construction deemed essential, we needed to do the right thing and get out ahead of this,” said Omar Percy, health safety & environment (HS&E) manager of the Sundt Transportation Group.. The problem? Most cleaning and hygiene supplies were sold out, not just in certain regions but across the country. “So, we got on the phones, the whole HS&E team, and started calling as many different vendors as we could to get the supplies our projects needed.” Priority was finding enough hand sanitizer for every Sundt field employee and subcontractor. Shawn Werner, concrete health safety & environment (HS&E) manager was introduced to an industrial cleaning supply company with operations in Tempe, Denver and El Paso. The company was just starting to produce hand sanitizer, a shift that many made this spring to meet current demand. Soon after that conversation, Sundt received its first order of five 55-gal. drums of sanitizer at its Phoenix warehouse. The warehouse manager and crew quickly sought the most efficient method to get the material into 4-ounce bottles for distribution to projects. Cutting one drum in half, the crew built a drip system to expedite the process. In less than 24 hours of receiving the shipment, the team had bottled, labeled and shipped more than 1,170 bottles to company project sites across multiple states. Within a week, more than 4,000 bottles were distributed so that every employee on a Sundt job site had their own. Another essential jobsite safety measure is disinfecting, especially for high-contact spaces and surfaces. On construction sites, these include work areas as well as tools and equipment. Terry “Zeke” Smith, Sundt project HS&E manager, tracked down more than 200 gal. of high-power disinfectant concentrate. In less than a week’s time, Smith was able to send it to operations in Phoenix, El Paso and San Antonio for mixing and redistribution to all Sundt projects.
“This virus is going to be part of our world for the foreseeable future,” said Percy. “And we’re learning a lot about how resilient we are, how we can respond individually, and how we need to adapt as a company to protect our people. So far, our projects and support teams have done a great job.” Implementing Mitigation Plan By now, all construction contractors should have a coronavirus mitigation plan in place for both the office and the job site. The site-specific health and safety plan will address company-wide safety precautions, a timeline for implementation, any other pandemic-related issues pertaining to the job site. Many contractors have taken their mitigation plan much further, and made it available to both employees and clients. In some instances, the public has access to the company’s policy information via the corporate website. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends maintaining healthy business operations by: • Designating a safety and health officer at every job site to respond to COVID-19 concerns, and make sure employees know who that person is. • Implementing flexible sick leave and supportive policies and practices. Draft non-punitive emergency sick leave policies if sick leave is not offered to some or all employees. • Informing fellow employees of any possible exposure, but maintain confidentiality as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Westerville, Ohio-based Kokosing Construction has a detailed plan for every possible issue related to COVID-19, from CDC protocols, to travel policy during the pandemic. The lengthy plan, posted on the company’s website, projects a corporate focus “on keeping people healthy and making sure we can continue providing services to our project owners.” According to the CDC, your company’s health and safety plan should be shared with employees in languages everyone understands and should: • Encourage sick employees to stay home until discontinuation criteria are met. • Minimize face-to-face contact for employees at higher risk, assign them work tasks to maintain at least 6 ft. from others, or have them telework.
• Provide soap and clean running water for washing, and materials for drying, employees’ hands. Another option is to provide alcohol-based hand sanitizers at multiple stations. • Install temporary or mobile handwashing stations with single-use paper towels, or provide a 5-plus gal. bucket with a lid and tap for handwashing. The tap should be regularly cleaned and disinfected, and fresh clean water provided daily. • Restock stations during the day. • Institute measures to physically separate and increase distance between employees, such as modifying work schedules to stagger work, providing alternating workdays, or accommodating extra shifts to reduce the total number of workers on a job site. • Rearrange administrative areas and breakrooms for 6 ft. of distance. Install shields or barriers where possible. • Avoid in-person meetings/trainings whenever possible. Reduce the number of meeting participants. A cleaning and sanitation schedule should be added to the overall project schedule, suggests Safety Management. Frequently-touched items, such as handrails, doorknobs, locks and latches, take priority. Worker education should address cross-contamination, with frequent cleaning of smartphones, computers, tablets, keyboards, pens and especially tools. Deliveries should be cleaned before being used, and door handles and gear knobs on delivery vehicles should also be sanitized as well. Controlling Job Site Safety Management advises limiting the number of jobsite visitors and their movement. Fencing, no-contact card readers, and modular turnstiles and guard station can help. Here are other suggestions: • Screen workers and visitors with devices such as no-contact thermometers or thermal imagery cameras to verify they do not have a fever. • Plan jobsite deliveries in conjunction with contact and cleaning protocols. Identify specific laydown and staging areas. Paint lines to limit areas for gang boxes and material sources. You can separate crew members from staging areas with jersey barriers. see COVID page 78

Logging Leader Discusses Industry After RNC Speech By Giles Lambertson CEG CORRESPONDENT
Scott Dane is a former merchant marine careerist who segued into a leadership role in the Minnesota logging industry. Recently, the marine engineer “capped” his diverse career with a national appearance on TV as a speaker at the Republican National Convention — he wore a “Make Logging Great Again” cap during his talk. The television pitch wasn’t show biz for Dane, however. It was a serious attempt to bring to the nation’s attention the straits in which the timber and logging industry finds itself. “Logging is the most dangerous job in the country, but we embrace that risk because we know America was built by strong people building things together,” he told the viewing audience. “America needs us to keep building, and we can’t wait to be part of it.” His appearance at a political event came about because the Trump administration in Washington has been supportive of the industry. The administration gave logging a boost when it imposed a tariff averaging 20 percent on Canadian lumber shipments into the United States. Washington justified the duties on the wood products because most of the timber industry in Canada is provincially owned and is harvested at artificially low cost — it is subsidized, in other words, which violates established fair trade rules. Dane is executive director of Contract Loggers & Truckers of Minnesota. He responded to a telephone interview from Virginia, Minn., approximately 90 mi. south of the Canada-U.S. border. “Every day we would watch train after train go by, heading south from Canada and loaded with Canadian wood products. By imposing duties, that has leveled the playing field somewhat.” The subsidy dispute has gone on for about 40 years. In 2017, President Trump imposed the tariff to restore some competitive pricing. However, the World Trade Organization has sided with Canada in the trade argument, saying the United States hadn’t proven its contention. Dane said the WTO decision is not decisive. “The World Trade Organization doesn’t currently have a full complement of seated members so it’s not able to enforce its decision. It can’t implement it. I think we can maintain the tariff in the long term.” The tariff may lead to talks. In early August, the National Association of Home Builders sent a letter to the administration complaining of increases in lumber prices. It appealed to U.S. lumber companies to “ramp up production” and make it a “priority to work with Canada on a new softwood
Scott Dane is a former merchant marine careerist who segued into a leadership role in the Minnesota logging industry.
lumber agreement.” In Minnesota, logging and wood products industry is top heavy and struggling. At the turn of the 20th century, the state had 30,000 loggers felling pine and other softwood trees. Sawmills were set up near prime pine forests with some two billion board feet of lumber produced annually. But mills have been closing in recent decades and the number of people today dropping and handling the timber totals just 1,500, according to Dane. “Everything downstream from the logging operations — the mills and manufacturing plants — are depending upon 1,500 people in the woods. If something doesn’t happen, we will see the industry decline further,” the executive director said. His organization represents about 175 logging companies and another 50 or so associate members such as John Deere and Caterpillar, manufacturers of logging equipment. In any given month, about 150 of the logging firms are felling trees. One reason the number of logging camp personnel has shrunk dramatically is the modern equipment used to handle the trees. Where 80 to 100 lumberjacks used to work together, a typical operation today numbers two to four people. The number varies, Dane said, depending upon whether the logging is being done conventionally or is a cut-tolength operation. In conventional logging, the camp might have four people operating four machines — a tree-dropping piece of equipment called a feller buncher that saws a tree and lays the logs in an orderly pile, a skidder or two with grapples that drag the logs to an access road, and a knuckleboom loader to place the logs on ribbed semi-trailer trucks for hauling to a mill. Cut-to-length jobs get by with a couple of machines in many cases — a harvester that
drops a trunk, delimbs it and saws it to a desirable length, and a forwarder, which is an articulated machine carrying a hoist that can pick up the pre-cut logs, deposit them on its trailer and haul them to an access road for offloading. So, all those lumberjacks hand-sawing the timber and manhandling it are history. “Mechanization has changed the industry tremendously,” Dane said. “It has made it more productive and safer.” The markets that need fixing now, he said. Minnesota’s pine trees become lumber products, but its spruce, aspen and birch forests are mostly turned into paper products. “We need new markets,” Dane said. “Paper demand continues to decrease. We have been working to transition into the biocrude market, which is really exciting.” A pilot plant in Canada has been distilling wood into the synthetic petroleum product. A mill in Bemidji is prepared to invest $120 million if the new market develops. The holdup to such investment is yet another dispute, this time with the Environmental Protection Agency. “The bureaucratic holdup in the EPA has been going on for three years,” Dane said. The agency’s definition of what constitutes acceptable biomass feedstock for the bio-crude operation is a loner among public oversight groups, he said. “We’re working with this administration to overcome the objection. We have spruce forests that we can’t harvest until it’s determined if it can be used for biomass feedstock. It’s tied the hands of those working on the bio-crude refinery.” Another issue that the current administration has helped out on is more favorable forest management policies. Forest management is a national issue, though not an overriding one in Minnesota where federal timberland constitutes just 10 percent of the
total. The issue is between the environmental community and the timber industry, with the ecological lobby arguing against incursions into the forest. The industry responds that logging trees and thinning dead forest stock helps protect standing trees by lessening the hazards of uncontrolled fires, such as the ones currently ravaging parts of California and other Western states. Dane has a son in a firefighting helicopter crew in Oregon, so he is personally familiar with the issue. “For forest fires, you need oxygen and fuel. We can’t take oxygen out of the air and we can’t eliminate lightning strikes,” he said. “The only component of the fire that we can address is fuel. Through proper forest management, we can reduce the fuel load in the woods.” He said the Trump administration has promoted more timbering on federal land and has “streamlined” forest management rules. An immediate focus of the industry is receiving emergency funding during the pandemic. The American Logging Council is spearheading an effort to include the logging and trucking industry in the next COVID-19 financial relief bill. Why it wasn’t included in the first financial recovery bill is unclear, but inclusion in the next bill has support across political parties and in both houses of Congress. Two members of Minnesota’s congressional delegation are co-sponsoring the legislation. “It is critical that we save the mills and trucking industry for when the pandemic ends,” Dane said. The industry is asking for $2.5 billion in assistance. The infusion of cash will indirectly help logging equipment manufacturers and dealers, which have seen a slowdown in sales this year. Dane has led the Minnesota association for 16 years now. Though he has never logged, he is a Minnesota native and his great-grandfather worked in a Minnesota logging camp as a locomotive engineer. He is an executive now, but nevertheless remains a rolled-up-sleeves guy who has welded for a living and is “used to getting my hands dirty.” Still, appearing before a national audience at a political convention is pretty exhilarating. Will it interest him in future political activity? He laughed at the suggestion. “Shortly after I returned home to Minnesota to raise my boys in the woods, I ran for state representative. I felt it was my civic responsibility to get involved. I didn’t win, but I found out how ugly politics can get. A friend asked recently when I was going to run for office again. Before I could say anything, my wife answered, ‘Not in this marriage.” CEG

One-Year Extension...
AEM Urges Congressional Leaders to Extend FAST Act The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), together with the dozens of industry partners, sent a letter to congressional leadership, urging passage of a one-year extension of the current surface transportation law, the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, before it expires on Sept. 30. “As our industry and our country continues to navigate the lasting effects of the pandemic, now more than ever, we need congressional leaders to rise to the occasion and help keep the wheels moving on critical infrastructure projects across the country,” said Dennis Slater, president of AEM. “As states and local governments continue to see budget shortfalls due to COVID19, ensuring that the much-needed repair and modernization of our surface transportation system can continue will create American jobs and boost demand for construction equipment. This demand is vital to the longevity of the equipment manufactur-
ing industry and our hardworking 2.8 million men and women. “Extending the FAST Act, which expires in just 21 days, is the first step. We still need for members on both sides of the aisle to work together on a long-term, fully funded reauthorization that will better prepare our roads, highways, bridges, and public transit systems to meet the demands of a globally competitive 21st century economy.” The letter asks congressional leaders to pass a bill by Sept. 30 that includes: • A turn-key, one-year extension of the current surface transportation law with increased investment levels; • Emergency federal funding for state departments of transportation and public transit agencies — $37 billion and $32 billion, respectively; and • Provisions to ensure solvency of the Highway Trust Fund for the duration of the extension at a minimum.

Balfour Beatty Building Interchanges, Bridges for Bypass BYPASS from page 1
From Raleigh, the U.S. 70 roadway makes its way south and east along the lowlands near the Crystal Coast beaches to its terminus near Cape Lookout. This highway corridor in the eastern third of the state also serves as a crucial hurricane evacuation, a popular way for beachgoers to reach their destinations and a shipping route to and from the Port of Morehead City. Additionally, a pair of military bases can be accessed from the highway: Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in Goldsboro and the Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point in Havelock. With the intent to make U.S. 70 a safer and improved roadway, over the past 20 years, the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) has contracted work to place U.S. 70 on an interstate grade freeway. The highway’s bypasses around the eastern towns of Clayton and Goldsboro are recent examples of the department’s efforts. Both communities experience the highest traffic volumes along the corridor. The department believes further upgraded roadway projects will help improve traffic and freight movement along the U.S. 70 corridor and assist economic development in eastern North Carolina’s rural areas. Bypass Designed to Keep Traffic Moving Now, NCDOT is overseeing another new U.S. 70 improvement, this one near the coast. The $167 million project in the Craven County town of Havelock will further efforts to convert the highway into an interstate. The U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass is a 10.3-mi.-long project that encompasses a new four-lane, 46-ft. wide median-divided highway and promises to provide motorists with a highspeed alternative to using U.S. 70 through the small community, which is often hampered by numerous traffic signals at intersecting side streets. The work zone is in the Croatan National Forest, while Havelock is home to the Cherry Point Marine base — both of which figured into the bypass design, according to
NCDOT. Brad McMannen, the agency’s resident engineer in the area, said the bypass is being constructed on the south side of U.S. 70, due to the Marine air station being located on the north edge of Havelock. “The project is located mostly on new alignment, except for work at the beginning and the end where the two new interchanges are located outside of Havelock: the new interchange at Lake Road and the overpass located at Sunset Boulevard,” he explained, adding that the roadway crosses three railroad tracks, intersections that will also need improvements. As the U.S. 70 bypass runs through a national forest and some wetland areas, years of planning and careful design were required before NCDOT and the Sierra Club signed an agreement in 2018. It allowed the transportation department to proceed with the bypass while addressing project-related conservation concerns associated with the national forest and providing resources for long-term protection of the woodlands. Major National Road Builder on Job McMannen added that the prime contractor, Balfour Beatty Infrastructure Inc., has been working at the site for almost a year. The company will build three interchanges; 14 new bridges (six built over railroad tracks); plus raise two existing bridges over the new highway. The bypass will not be constructed in phases, he said, but Balfour Beatty does have a timeframe for how and when to complete the traffic switch onto the new ramps of the interchanges. The expected completion date for the project is May 2024, but all work except for the vegetation is expected to be complete by November 2023, McMannen reported. By late August, Balfour Beatty had cleared approximately 40 percent of the project, had opened three borrow pits and brought in materials for the roadway. “The contractor and its subs also have started on two bridge structures by driving piles and pouring caps,”
Excavation of one of several borrow pits required for the project. This one is located off of Sunset Drive. The contractor has entered into an agreement with a private property owner to allow direct access to the project (see access road in background); therefore, allowing the use of off-road equipment instead of over-the-road hauling.
McMannen continued, “while also building roadway and placing drainage structures behind the clearing operations.” Balfour Beatty’s major subcontracting companies and the services they are providing on the U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass are: • Barnhill Contracting Company — asphalt • Bullington Construction Inc. — guardrails • Evergreen Clearing Inc. — clearing and grubbing • Gosalia Concrete Constructors — concrete barrier rails • National Erectors — rebar/steel • Sadler Landscaping Inc. — seeding and mulching • Seal Brothers Contracting — silt and safety fencing • Military Federal Construction — hauling • More Tons LLC — hauling • M&J Trucking Inc. — hauling • RL Thompson Inc. — hauling Heavy Work Demands Top Equipment The earth moving, pile driving and asphalt needed for the Havelock Bypass will be extensive, according to McMannen. Approximately 5.8 million cu. yds. of borrow material is to be placed, along with 91,000 linear ft. piles and 252,000 tons of asphalt. To handle all that material, Balfour Beatty and its crews will be using an armada of construction equipment provided by some of the top dealerships in North Carolina. The contractors are using 40- to 45-ton off-road trucks from Cat, Volvo and John Deere for all major borrow hauling, while the excavators and bulldozers will be a mix of Cat, Komatsu and John Deere. Excavators and other earth moving machines are being supplied by Gregory Poole Equipment Co. (Cat); Ascendum Machinery Inc. (Volvo); James River Equipment (John Deere); and Linder Industrial Equipment (Komatsu). McMannen explained that the cranes utilized on the U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass are a Kobelco 275-ton; a Terex 230ton; and Grove 70-ton cherry pickers. see BYPASS page 82
Grading and hauling operations are under way on the new alignment of the bypass. This is looking north from Sunset Drive.

Vogele’s Smart Solution for Digital Jobsite Documentation At ConExpo 2020, Joseph Vogele AG showcased its new software-based application for road construction. WITOS Paving Docu allows paving data and delivery notes to be recorded and automates the process of sending out job-site reports. With its latest innovation, WITOS Paving Docu, the global market leader is complementing its two existing job-site solutions: RoadScan, the non-contacting temperature-measurement system with which the paving temperature can be monitored across the full pave width, and WITOS Paving Plus, the telematics solution for coordinating and actively optimizing all processes from the mixing plant to the paving process in real time. WITOS Paving Docu bridges the gap between the two: The solution is aimed squarely at contractors who want to record and analyze more than just paving temperature, but don’t need the full range of WITOS Paving Plus functions, which includes process optimization and integrated planning. At a job site, foremen can use a special smartphone app and paver operators the machine terminal to initiate jobs in WITOS Paving Docu and record a wide array of additional paver and paving data, such as working width, paving speed, interruptions to paving and effective paving time. Delivery notes also can be scanned in using a QR code or entered manually, allowing paved areas, paved material quantities and areal densities to be calculated continuously. At the end of a day’s paving, job-site reports are sent automatically by e-mail to selected recipients. They include information on key job-site data and machine utilization. The app and the paver are net-
even if there is no network coverage,” Weller said.

worked via WLAN, so information can be exchanged between the machine and the foreman’s smartphone even where there is no mobile phone connection. This way, both the foreman and paver operator know at all times how many tons of material have been paved on what surface area and in what areal density. Until now, teams had to collect this data using a measuring wheel and then do the math. “WITOS Paving Docu is an extremely practical and reliable solution when it comes to the rapid, straightforward yet comprehensive documentation of a job site,” said Stephan Weller, head of software products at Vogele. “It is
ideal for construction jobs where precise data recording is required, but there is no need for active process optimization on site.” Simple Handling, Secure Server Connection For contractors who want to plan their job sites by largely conventional methods, but document them digitally, WITOS Paving Docu offers the option of automating the recording and analysis of job-site data without great expense. All they have to do is install the corresponding app. The necessary hardware — the telematics module and the screed width measuring unit — is fitted directly in the paver.
The app offers clear and intuitive menu navigation, so users can familiarize themselves with the application quickly even without specific prior knowledge or extensive training. For contractors, this greatly increases the efficiency of job-site documentation processes without requiring lengthy introductory phases. Another advantage is that the application functions even in rural areas with no mobile coverage, making it an absolutely reliable option for all jobs. The paver creates a WLAN network with a range of about 164 ft. (50 m) and acts as the server on the job site. “This autonomous solution allows processes to run smoothly
Upgrade to WITOS Paving Plus Possible Should requirements change, for instance when handling a large project, and if the processes are to be planned in advance as well as monitored and optimized in real time on the job site, contractors can upgrade to WITOS Paving Plus at any time. Conversely, contractors who have already acquired the full version have the option of using only the Docu module for smaller jobs. The full version of WITOS Paving Plus, Vogele’s softwarebased process management solution, networks everyone involved in the process, from the mixing plant to the paver operator, and comprises five modules. Job site planning (Control), provision of mix (Materials), mix transport (Transport), paving of asphalt (JobSite) and the subsequent analysis of processes (Analysis) therefore can all be managed by a single system in real time. This enables site managers and paving teams to respond quickly and appropriately to possible faults and to make processes much more efficient. The dynamic logistics and machine control system with corresponding controlling also increases quality. “That’s why many public-sector clients are now demanding the use of intelligent process management systems. With WITOS Paving Docu and WITOS Paving Plus, we are now giving our customers two extremely flexible solutions they can use to either document process data for later analysis or to actively optimize processes, as appropriate for a given job,” said Weller.

Co. Closes Communication Loop With FleetWatcher Tech Communication facilitates business. But even though people have been communicating for thousands of years, we are by no means perfect at the artform. That is especially true in the heavy construction industry where there are many moving pieces, changes are fluid and costs can quickly add up. Over-trucking or inefficient truck routing can have rolling consequences to project deadlines and profits. This was common for midwestern site development and highway contractor Delta Asphalt until it implemented a new system to help its communications connect with its bottom line. Delta Asphalt operates 11 asphalt plants and five quarries across three states with 40 to 50 trucks in rotation over the summer months. With job sites spread across state lines, Brad Marotti, construction manager of Delta Asphalt, and his team needed a way to manage strict deadlines and budgets. That’s when they began implementing FleetWatcher Materials Management Solution (MMS), a wireless telematics system developed specifically for paving contractors.

Wirtgen’s SP 124i Paver Increases Production, Lowers Cost With the addition of two new models, Wirtgen is equipping its slipform pavers in the 40 ft. (12 m) class with proven technologies from the SP 60i and SP 90i series. Inset slipform pavers are an ideal choice for the cost-effective paving of large-scale concrete pavements, such as highly durable highways or aircraft runways. Wirtgen offers 14 machine models in various performance classes for this paving method alone. Due to their modular design, the machines can be customized to meet nearly any customer’s specific requirements. The two new pavers in the 40 ft. (12 m) class are the perfect smaller cousins of the larger Wirtgen slipform pavers, which are capable of paving concrete up to a maximum working width of 53.5 ft. (16 m). With a 430 hp (321 kW) Cummins engine that meets the U.S. Tier 4f emissions standards (SP 124i), or 365 hp (272 kW) that meets the U.S. Tier III emissions standards (SP 124), these new Wirtgen slipform pavers have sufficient power for placing concrete pavements from 14 to 40 ft. (4.50 to 12 m) wide and up to 18 in. (45 cm) thick. SP 124i/SP 124: Steerable, Slewing Crawler Units The SP 124i/SP 124 is the first slipform
paver from Wirtgen with a maximum working width of 40 ft. (12 m) to be equipped with four steerable and slewing crawler units, which are optionally available with a new slew drive steering system and a steering angle of up to 260 degrees. The additional maneuverability of the paver allows the operator to quickly adapt to changing job site conditions. Its narrow profile and reduced trackline allows paving close to obstacles. In addition, the four crawler units can be switched to rotation mode at the push of a button. As a result, the SP 124i/SP 124 can turn almost on the spot and directly produce the next lane in the opposite direction without wasting any time on repositioning. During transport, the swing legs are swung in. Cost-Effective, High-Precision Paving The SP 124i/SP 124 pavers stand out with high paving accuracy, intuitive operation and ease of use, according to the manufacturer. Due to a wide range of available options — such as a self-loading dowel bar inserter (DBI) with fully automated dowel magazine, tie-bar and side tie-bar inserter, or trough systems, each of which is tailored to
the different global requirements for inset applications — the machines can be configured to suit any application. In addition to modern technologies, Wirtgen’s development of the new SP 120 series also focused on user-friendly machine operation and synergies with the SP 60i and SP 90i series. For example, the demand-optimized Eco Mode engine management system helps reduce fuel consumption and noise emissions by adapting performance to
application requirements. A tried and tested 3D interface offers reliable compatibility with 3D control systems from leading suppliers, making it futureproof, according to the manufacturer. In addition, the efficient WITOS FleetView telematics system offers fleet management, position and condition monitoring, as well as maintenance and diagnostic processes. For more information, visit www.wirtgengroup.com/america/en-us.
The rugged design of Wirtgen’s SP 124i/SP 124 slipform pavers delivers consistently high performance in concrete paving and high-precision paving results, even in difficult site conditions.

Why Autonomous Transport Will Happen in Quarries After developing steadily, step-by-careful-step, for more than 100 years, the automotive world is currently in the grip of a two-sided revolution: on the one side under pressure to reduce emissions by going electric, and on the other, striving to reach the Holy Grail of transport — the vehicle/machine that doesn’t need an operator. While great strides have been taken in the switch to hybrid and all-electric drive, creating autonomous transport is proving harder to perfect. “Automation has struggled in the mainstream automotive world because they are trying to get autonomous vehicles to work everywhere and safely coexist with all the variables of life — cars, trucks, bikes, people, dogs, cats — you name it,” said Perjohan Rosdahl, head of Off-Road at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. “Solving all these issues at the same time is proving to be an enormously complex challenge, even for the world’s biggest automotive and technology companies. Our approach is to start small, in a tightly confined environment and build on our successes over time. A perfect place to start is quarries, which have clearly defined load-anddump locations over generally short circuits.” Start Simple. Grow From There The move to autonomous machines will
about developing autonomous machines,” said Uwe Müller, sales and marketing lead of Off Road Solutions at Volvo Autonomous Solutions. “We are talking about automating a transport process, not just selling a single machine. Because of that we need to develop a total solution to manage this full process.”
While great strides have been taken in the switch to hybrid and all-electric drive, creating autonomous transport is proving harder to perfect.
not be simply a case of replacing a machine with an operator to one without. Autonomous machines will prompt the automation of the whole process and require a new way of looking at the entire operation. Volvo Autonomous Solutions was created on Jan. 1, 2020, to develop and commercialize autonomous transport solutions for the whole Volvo Group.
As well as providing adapted machines from within the Volvo Group, Volvo Autonomous Solutions will support customers with solutions to autonomous machines’ other challenges, namely the supporting infrastructure, control towers, repair and maintenance, virtual drivers and even run the operations if needed. “It’s as much about a new mindset as it is
Volvo Autonomous Solutions was created on Jan. 1, 2020, to develop and commercialize autonomous transport solutions for the whole Volvo Group.
Autonomous Enabled Platforms Volvo Autonomous Solutions is working closely with the Volvo Group’s other business areas, especially Volvo Construction Equipment in the off-road segment. This ensures that new machines, whether developed specifically to be autonomous — like Volvo’s TA-15 hauler — or traditional operator-based equipment, use the same autonomous drive platforms, coding languages etc. This allows them to be “talked to” in the same way, as well as offering the ability to scale up easily. Not all machines will be autonomous but being “autonomous enabled” allows Volvo Autonomous Solutions to supercharge the standard products into operator-less machines, using its own proprietary autonomous drive kit. Quarries and Mines “To reduce the complexity of the world we need to standardize the process as much as possible,” said Müller. “In quarries we can do this as they are in a confined area, are highly regulated and it’s easier to separate autonomous transport from other processes. Involving loading and dumping, the process itself is simple and repetitive.” “We are starting small with less complex use cases and will build on our successes,” said Rosdahl. “With the right customer partners, the next step could be underground mining and tunnel applications — autonomous machines (especially electric ones) work just as well in the dark as in the light, and it’s good to remove people as much as possible from these hazardous locations. From there we could focus on large earthmoving projects that are still contained but have more variables to cope with, as our technology becomes more embedded over time.” Improved process optimization, lower energy consumption and improved safety are just three of the benefits of autonomous machines. There are lots of R&D challenges to be overcome — and they will be. But it won’t be a technical innovation that makes the breakthrough — that requires changes in legislation and a new mindset as to how the whole process can operate more effectively. Make no mistake, autonomous solutions are coming, and they will be disruptive to current business models, according to Volvo. For more information, visit www.volvoce.com.

KR Trucking crews work year-round and, in an average year, operate each ADT for 2,000 hours.
Tennessee Contractor Leases Equipment for Predictability Why KR Trucking Leases Its 20 ADTs In the clay mining business, you must have dependable trucks. That’s why Keith Radford, owner of KR Trucking in Gleason, Tenn., leases his 20 off-highway articulated dump trucks (ADTs) and purchases extended warranties. Since Radford and his dad Kenneth founded KR Trucking in 2002, the company has grown from five to 66 employees. Radford attributes his company’s success to his faith, his commitment to honesty and values and sound planning. “In our business, you have to prepare for and minimize the unexpected expenses,” Radford said.
ing fixtures, and kaolin is used in paper production, porcelain and in some medical products. To reach a clay deposit for a client, KR Trucking crews use large crawler excavators to dig out 40 to 150 ft. of overburden, which is the dirt, sand and mud covering the clay. The ADTs, which are not legal for use on public roads, are used for transporting this overburden to a dump site. Once
Success Depends on Reliable Equipment U.S. mining companies produced 26 million tons of clay valued at $1.8 billion in 2019, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. To produce each ton of finished clay, miners remove and transport several additional tons of raw product and overburden. KR Trucking is in Weakley County in northwest Tennessee. This region contains the largest ball clay deposits in the United States as well as significant deposits of kaolin, also known as China clay. Ball clay is a common ingredient for manufacturing floor and wall tile, shingles and plumb- Keith Radford, owner of KR Trucking
the overburden has been removed, a separate fleet of 32 onroad trucks move the clay to a plant. KR Trucking crews work year-round and, in an average year, operate each ADT for 2,000 hours. That means the machines are in almost constant use all-day, every day. “Think of me as a farmer and it’s November and I have a thousand acres of beans that I haven’t harvested yet,” Radford said. This urgency is why Radford leases his excavators and ADTs. Leasing ensures Radford’s machines are always relatively new, and therefore less likely to need repairs. It’s one way Radford minimizes his downtime and is able to more reliably forecast his equipment-related expenses. To keep on top of regular machine maintenance, the service technicians in Radford’s in-house shop track the hours of the company’s equipment on inspection sheets and on boards in the shop. The techs place stickers in the windshield of each machine so operators can see when an oil change is coming due. To prepare for larger service needs, Radford purchases a 10,000hour extended warranty on all his ADTs. This helps protect his budget if a machine needs a significant repair. see LEASE page 64

Precision Pipeline used equipment from Pipeline Machinery on this West Virginia pipeline project.
While articulated dump trucks offer enhanced maneuvering abilities, tighter turning radiuses and have a lower center of gravity than rigid frame trucks, there are situations where you need all this maneuvering capacity to transport smaller amounts of material or implements on steep inclines or on soft grounds or even in rugged, hard-to-reach areas. That’s when you call for a rubber track crawler carrier.
When it comes to off-road construction projects, only a few types of specialized equipment is available to contractors out there. But between articulated trucks, crawler carriers and wheel loaders, what is the best solution out there for contractors?

siderable quantities, with the smallest, the Hydrema 707, carrying up to 14,000 lbs. in a single trip and all the major brands ranging from 40,000 to more than 130,000 lb. • The payload capacity in the Prinoth line of crawler dumpers ranges from 12,000 to 33,500 lb. from the smallest model called the Panther T6 to the biggest dumper, the Panther T16. Now you’ll understand that the T and number combination of these names represent the tonnage their trucks can move for you. This option would be your mid-size range with regards to payload. • Finally, you have wheel loaders which also can perform some off-road tasks such as backfilling or pipeline padding. Most big wheel loaders carry a maximum of 8 cu. yds. and most range from 2 to 6 cu. yds. in capacity. The biggest tracked skid steers carry just half a cubic yard in their buckets. Here, no one product really has the advantage yet. It just depends on the job you are performing and the constraints of that job. Since Prinoth’s crawler carriers haul more than most tracked skid steers and wheel loaders but less than articulated dumpers, one could argue they are the perfect mid-size solution. Ground Pressure Ground pressure is the first and foremost reason why tracked dumpers exist. Because articulated dumpers run on tires, they will inevitably tear up the ground when turning and even when getting from A to B. These vehicles generate ground pressures of 30 to 60 psi. In contrast, the Panther T7R for example, even when it’s fully loaded with 15,432 lbs., exerts just 4.99 psi due to its rubber tracks see PRINIOTH page 62

Bergmann Celebrates 60, Brings Site Dumpers to N. America Bergmann Americas started operations in January 2020 at its North American Headquarters in Spartanburg, S.C. Bergmann Americas is the North American importer of the Bergmann product line from Meppen, Germany. The product offering for dealers includes compact articulated dump trucks (15 tons) and track dumpers (12 tons). Starting in 2021, the Bergmann site dumper line-up (4 to 10 tons) and Bergmann M201 will be available to North America. Bergmann is celebrating its 60 year anniversary this year and excited about its representation in the North American market. According to the manufacturer, every Bergmann machine provides the best possible combination of Bergmann’s four key design parameters: handling, safety, effectiveness and efficiency. • The Bergmann C815s is a 15 ton compact articulated dump truck with three dump body options: rear dump, swivel dump and three-way dump. • The C912s track dumper offers a swivel dump and rear dump. The site dumper line up is introducing a new 3 ton class electric powered dumper with dump or flatbed options. • The M201 is a remote control crawler slope machine for mower head, mulcher, etc. With the low ground pressure offered by the 15 ton Bergmann C815s, recent demos and rentals in environmental applications have proven the machines are productive and reliable. For even lower ground pressure and slope situations the Bergmann C912s track dumpers have followed through with maneuverability and efficiency. The C912s Swivel Dumper’s rotating operators console has easily become the favorite feature of operators. This unique feature allows them to handle tough maneuvers with ease while controlling their payload. For more information, call 864/707-0080 or e-mail sales@bergmannamericas.com

Prinoth Crawlers Feature Maneuverability, Flexibility PRINOTH from page 60
and its high travel undercarriage. When running unloaded, this vehicle offers a low 3.00 psi of ground pressure. The difference is considerable. Crawler carriers are the perfect option here if leaving the grounds undisturbed is a requirement of the job you are performing. It also can be the perfect solution if you need to avoid leaving ruts behind since tracked dumpers will not get stuck nor create holes. Maneuverability Everyone knows that when driving a truck or a wheel loader, at the end of the road or the way, you have to back up and turn around to reload or dump. This will take more space, and will likely create ruts or leave big tire marks behind. Tracked dumpers are the perfect solution to this problem. Some models, like the Prinoth Panther T7R and T14R for example are rotating dumpers. That means that their upper structure rotates 360-degrees over the lower part of the vehicle. The tracks are always ready to go forward again with the help of a quick direction reset feature. This saves time for the operator and increases safety for everyone on the job site
with fewer vehicle displacements. The crawler carriers’ advantage of being able to work in tight areas, maneuvering around on crowded construction sites and not creating unnecessary thread marks everywhere on the ground all in one machine is a huge one.
Speed Tracks are not made to go as fast as tires but rather to reach areas where regular wheels won’t make it or will get stuck. So there is no doubt here that articulated trucks and wheel loaders are faster being able to run at speeds up to 35 mph or better. However,
Examples of the most common applications include river and beaches restorations, lake reclamation, installation and maintenance of power electric transmission or distribution lines, working in and around wetlands, hauling material and equipment on pipeline jobs which often require minimal environmental impact.
the average speed of most crawler carriers in the market is 6 mph while the Prinoth Panther vehicles average a much higher speed, ranging from 8 to 9 mph. They have a real advantage in their market because their high speed combined with their high payload provides contractors with a better level of productivity getting the job done up to 30 percent quicker. In conclusion, the unique design of the Panther crawler carriers offers a great solution to contractors looking to move material or equipment in remote areas, soft soils, or just overall in off-road construction projects. Examples of the most common applications include river and beaches restorations, lake reclamation, installation and maintenance of power electric transmission or distribution lines, working in and around wetlands, hauling material and equipment on pipeline jobs which often require minimal environmental impact. And as the Equipment World article stated, “In the earthmoving world, sales and interest in renting these machines continue to grow”.

Bell Adds 20-Ton B20E Low Ground Pressure Truck Bell Equipment has added the 20-ton Bell B20E low ground pressure (LGP) truck to its range, thus offering an additional solution for compromising underfoot conditions. A physically smaller incarnation of the Bell B30E, but entrenched with the same DNA, the B20E 6WD ADT has proved itself a popular machine from residential excavation to site sensitive archaeological digs. The 4-cylinder Mercedes Benz diesel engine provides 228 hp, (170 kW), enabling the B20E LGP to perform with a similar power-toweight ratio to the larger Bell B30E, according to the manufacturer. The six-speed Allison automatic transmission, now calibrated with Allison’s FuelSense, optimizes the shift points to match the haul profile with higher shift rpm on steeper gradients and lower shift rpm on flatter terrain. To ensure ultimate off-road capability, the B20E LGP’s purpose built 6x6-drivetrain is equipped with the latest Bell automatic traction control technologies. Interaxle differential lock (IDL) and limited slip differentials on all axles that provide full traction on deep wet ground or soft and sandy areas while fully sealed wet brakes comply with extreme conditions and reduce maintenance to a minimum. Enhanced flotation, another crucial off-road requirement, is guaranteed by low profile, extra wide 800/45 R30.5 tires that provide significantly low ground pressures under full load, according to the manufacturer. This economical ADT delivers excellent tons per gallon ratios and is considered a small site “access enabler” owing to its compact design. The 4-cylinder Mercedes Benz diesel engine provides 228 hp, (170 kW), enabling the B20E LGP to perform with For more information, visit www.bellequipmentna.com. a similar power-to-weight ratio to the larger Bell B30E, according to the manufacturer.
KR Trucking Leases to Keep Costs Down, Uptime High LEASE from page 58
“The dealer charges you for the extended warranty, but it’s worth it,” Radford said. “We hope we’ll never use any of that coverage, but we have in the past.” To further protect his company, Radford pays close attention to the service his equipment dealer provides. His dealer, Bobcat of Nashville, promises Keith that if one of his Doosan DA30-5 ADTs or DX490LC-5 excavators is being serviced for three consecutive days, then they will provide him with a loaner ADT or excavator until his machine is fixed. “That means a lot to us,” Radford said. “Because if there is a hiccup, we’ve got a backup plan.” The way Bobcat of Nashville handled his first purchase helped Radford determine that they were a reliable partner. When Radford asked to demo an ADT, they delivered him machines to demo for three weeks. Also, the demo machines weren’t new; they already had thousands of hours on them. This helped Radford see that the product was reliable. “The demo trucks kept performing and performing,” Radford said. “That’s the kind of dealership that I look for and the kind of products that I’m looking for.” Measuring Machine Performance Radford measures the productivity of his ADTs by tracking the number of yards of material they haul each month. This is another reason he prioritizes keeping his fleet new. When he invests in new ADTs, he sees a boost in productivity. For example, with his newest ADTs in service, he’s expecting a 15 percent increase in production over his older
trucks. Another metric KR trucking tracks is turnaround time. This is the amount of time it takes for each truck to be loaded, transported, dumped and loaded again. When creating this measurement they consider the distance from the excavator to the dump site, and the grade of the route. Turnaround time is another important stat that Radford expects to improve when he invests in new equipment. Tracking these stats is vital for the success of KR Trucking. Once a month, his clients survey the amount of material KR Trucking has removed to ensure they are meeting set targets. If for some reason — often weather — a project is falling behind, then Radford has to schedule crews on Saturdays and on longer shifts to catch up. “Nobody we work for stays way ahead on the work schedule,” Radford said. “We manage the weather as best as we can, and so for the equipment we have to do everything we can to stay up and running efficiently.” At each step of the process of building roads to the deposit, removing overburden, mining clay, and then eventually filling the mine back in with additional overburden, KR Trucking is working on a deadline. “We don’t ever stop moving,” Radford said. Then, when it’s all done, and replanted with pine trees, and the land is released back to its owner, somebody gets to enjoy the natural beauty of the place. Often times the former clay pits become places where people relax, unaware of the constant loading and unloading, digging and hauling that occurred in the same place. “You’ll see people out there fishing,” Radford said.
A Lifelong Commitment to Construction
Growing up and watching his father work in the clay mining industry his entire life inspired Keith Radford to follow in his father’s footsteps. When Radford was 18, he purchased his first dump truck, a skid steer loader and a trailer. He eventually moved into the ready mix business and operated three plants until 2002. That’s when Radford took a leap of faith and started KR Trucking. Radford attributes his continued success to serving his customers with exceptional work. “As our customer base grew, we grew with them,” Radford said. “I’ve always said, ‘if you treat everybody like you want to be treated, it just kind of falls in your lap, and that is what happened with us. I have always taken care of our customers, and if we tell them something, we do everything in our power to make sure we get it done.’”

Morooka Unveils Its Largest U.S.-Made Rotator-Type Carrier
Morooka’s VDR models all feature an upper structure that can rotate 360 degrees in either direction independently from the undercarriage and tracks. This helps users reduce surface damage that occurs when turning the machine, as well as aiding users that have limited operating space, according to the manufacturer.
In the first week of July, the first Morooka MST-3000VDR rubber track carrier, with enhanced hydraulics and a larger bed, rolled off the line at the manufacturing facility in Ashland, Va. Morooka’s VDR models all feature an upper structure that can rotate 360 degrees in either direction independently from the undercarriage and tracks. This helps users reduce surface damage that occurs when turning the machine, as well as aiding users that have limited operating space, according to the manufacturer. The new MST-3000VDR is powered by a 300 hp Caterpillar C7.1 engine and can handle a maximum load of 36,000 lbs. Even so, it has a top speed of 8 mph and yet only exerts a ground pressure of 3.6-8.0 psi. Ken Byrd, founder and president of Morooka USA, recounted just how the new machine came to be. When Morooka customer Bobby Ross of Rosscapes Inc., in Canonsville, Pa., needed something with a bit more capacity than the MST-2200VDR, he turned to his local dealer, Anderson Equipment. Anderson Equipment, Rosscapes and Morooka America worked closely together to develop the MST-3000VDR, the largest U.S.-built rotator to date. The carrier’s power and carrying capacity allow Rosscapes to move dirt nearly twice as fast as before, according to the company. Rosscapes, which specializes in environmental restoration services such as wetland and stream restoration, currently has a fleet of five Morooka rotators and is looking to add more MST-3000VDR units in the future. The MST-3000VDR is currently available by special order only. For more information about Morooka, visit www.morookacarriers.com.

Volvo CE Adopts Product Branding as Part of Award-Winning Design Mindset
ALABAMA 1797-A Fulton Spring Rd. • Alabaster, AL 35007 844-786-6373
Stone Equipment Co., Inc.
New and updated Volvo branded products will now be tagged with just the product type and size on its side — and nothing else. All other product details, such as model series and model variant, will continue to be found on the specifications, brochure or PIN plate, ensuring customers will see no change in how they buy service or order parts for their products.
New and updated Volvo branded products will now be tagged with just the product type and size on its side — and nothing else. All other product details, such as model series and model variant, will continue to be found on the specifications, brochure or PIN plate, ensuring customers will see no change in how they buy service or order parts for their products. The real motivation behind this change is to bring the product’s branding in line with the company’s minimalist Scandinavian heritage and long-standing desire for a clean, clear and boundless human-centric design. Clarity in Function, Design Gustavo Guerra, design director of Volvo CE, said, “We always strive for an honest and simple design that still emulates the smart power of our products. But we found that our brand designation did not suit the purposeful and progressive quality of our products. “This new move is designed to bring more confidence and clarity not just to the operator but to everyone out on the job site — which is what we mean by boundless design.” Modern construction sites are now much less focused on just the product and more focused on the construction site as a whole. With this updated product designation, Volvo CE aims to create a clearer line of communication for all parties, from the operator out on the job site right through to the back-office function. A rise in new technologies also brings with it a necessary increase in inter-generational product updates, so eliminating the need to change the product name for every update, no matter how big or small, ensures the branding stays clean, simple and purposeful, according to the manufacturer. “We are at a crossroads where new and traditional ways of working are coming together,” said Guerra. “As developments in electric, autonomous and connected technologies grow side-by-side with our continued need for diesel equipment, we will soon see the level of product updates also growing exponentially. It’s a time of change for

the industry and our branding structure should reflect that too.” The First Models Launched With New Designation Whether it is a modification to the cab, operator controls, product frame or technical function, each edit will no longer carry with it long and cumbersome model names when the update is brought to the market. Effectively this means removing the revision status and product specification from the external visual identity and leaving just the product abbreviation and product size. All technical details are communicated as normal on PIN plates and marketing materials. The first models launched with the new designation policy are the first two Electric models of ECR25 and L25 and the ECR58 generation F — which recently won the Red Dot Award for product design. The award is the most globally recognized mark for industrial design quality. In their statement, the jury said that they were “impressed by the balanced construction that incorporated not only the cabin but also the exterior and the user experience.” This new design philosophy will have minimal impact on the way customers buy their products, order parts or take them in for servicing. In exactly the same way as today, customers will still be able to look to the specifications on the PIN plate in order to find the detailed configurations required for aftermarket services, parts ordering or repairs. The change is being introduced on all new and updated models during a staged roll-out from this year forward, set to take until around 2025. “This is not just a renaming initiative,” said Guerra. “This is our design philosophy, a principle that guides us through the creation of the next generation of construction products. A key part of our role is to help our customers navigate the shifting digital landscape, and offer clear and open communication to better manage these times of change.” For more information, visit www.volvoce.com.

Woman-Owned Construction Company Follows Different Mindset When Hiring BREX from page 8
• Selfless leadership. “We have what we call selfless leadership,” she said. “As leaders in the company, A.J. and I work alongside those we lead, rather than just work over them. We do not push our company culture down on our employees. We try to build everyone up to be their own leader by encouraging an environment of respect and hard work.” She added that she and A.J. want their employees to feel empowered to do their jobs, to take ownership of their work and improve their performance. When employees embrace a company’s vision, everyone wins. “There is a caring, positive workplace culture at Brex Enterprises and we believe our employees are happy to work here. That has an impact on our success.” • Integrity. Brentzel said everyone in the company is expected to follow the cardinal rule: Treat everyone the way that you want to be treated. That means consistently being honest, ethical and trustworthy.

Embrace Technology During COVID COVID from page 28
• Keep trash in specific spots where it can easily be transported from the site. Have delivery personnel stay in vehicles and minimize their contact with site workers. • Assess the site for physical distancing by limiting the potential for workers to gather (including construction equipment and site trailers. Alleviate potential choke points and install physical barriers and signage to restrict access to closed or confined spaces. • Mark site trailers and break areas for proper distancing. Eliminate community food and lunch areas, and remove coffee pots, water dispensers, microwaves and other shared appliances from break areas, suggests Safety Management. • Aerial lifts and other equipment should be used by just one person at a time, unless additional PPE is worn. • Shared tools should be eliminated wherever possible and all tools should be cleaned regularly. Any shared equipment should be disinfected before and after each use. Disinfectant wipes should be readily available. • Crew members should wash or sanitize their hands before and after use of tools or equipment. Leave tools to rest for three days when possible. Biting Tech Bullet If the tech industry wanted to burrow deeper into the construction market, the coronavirus has presented a win-win opportunity for both sectors to help each other. The construction industry could benefit from automation as it emerges from the pandemic while tech companies explore new applications for their devices and services. General Motors has developed an automated kiosk for temperature scanning, software for contact tracing, and a mobile app for touchless printing. For temperature scanning, GM integrates the operation of an infrared thermal camera with a computer and monitor. The system automatically detects when someone has stepped in front of the camera and checks for an elevated
skin temperature, indicating it is either safe to proceed or the person is in need of further evaluation. The process can take as little as one to two seconds, relieving congestion at workplace entry points and reducing physical contact between workers. The scanning is also effective when the worker is wearing a mask or face covering. GM also made improvements to its COVID Watch, an open-source contact tracing application, adding real-time social distance alerts, boosting performance on both iOS and Android devices and adding support for Bluetooth beacons. The company also is testing a mobile app for contact tracing that would create a record for the employee, listing other users with whom he or she has been in contact. It can help medical staff reach employees that had contact with a worker testing positive for COVID-19, while maintaining privacy and security. The app also constantly computes the physical distance between users and can send an alert to help encourage safe behavior. The International Transport Forum (ITF) has tracked the growing use of drones to monitor communities for social distancing. It stands to reason they are used on construction sites for the same, as well as tracking jobsite traffic, material deliveries and visitors. More sophisticated applications noted by ITF include the installation of thermal cameras on drones to detect infected crew members via body temperature. Wearables are currently being used for the same types of applications. A Canadian company has created a device that can be worn on the wrist, around the neck or in a pocket, specifically for COVID-19 contact tracing. Software developers are getting in on the act, too. Cloudbased solutions allow the sharing of updates with workers and monitoring of the virus’s infection status to determine who is available to work. With these apps, crew members can self-report any symptoms of the virus, or potential exposure, using their smartphones. Dashboards show which workers have completed a

self-assessment form, how many are symptomatic or at risk and other related metrics. Managers also can upload employee e-mails to send out group communications, send company and government updates to employees, and provide a simple self-assessment form for daily reporting. “Safety looks different now. There’s no way around it,” said Percy. He believes the construction industry must “treat our COVID-19 preventive and protective measures just like we would fall protection or trench safety.” CEG
Contractor safety protocols include monitoring job site traffic and materials; integrating technology to monitor employee distancing and exposure; and expanding routines to include temperature checks.

Havelock Bypass Will Eventually Become Interstate 42 BYPASS from page 32
“Most of the larger cranes will be rented from Dozier Crane & Machinery, with the smaller cherry pickers and impact hammers being company owned,” he said. “The small equipment is either company owned or rented from Sunbelt Rentals and United Rentals.” The NCDOT engineer predicts work on the bypass will require Balfour Beatty to reach a peak of 90 to 110 employees on site around the middle of 2021 through early 2023, with subcontractor crews fluctuating between 10 to 75 crew members during that same period. Coastal Climate Can Affect Work In coastal North Carolina, weather is always a key factor in keeping any large-scale construction project on schedule. That is especially true on a green alignment with the length of the U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass. McMannen explained that earth moving operations on a project that goes through or adjoins wetlands also is a challenging effort but building road structures during the driest months of the year can be even more problematic. “It’s key to keep the structure operations on schedule due to the in-water moratorium associated with the four largest structures on the project,” he added. “With the project alignment traversing through the Croatan National Forest, special attention is needed to make sure that there are no environmental impacts outside the right of way.” Route Will One Day Be Interstate 42 When the U.S. 70 Havelock Bypass is finished in four

years, it will be among several projects NCDOT has completed, is working on, or has planned to bring the roadway to interstate standards. One of those projects now in the preliminary stages will improve the highway from the bypass north to the community of Thurman, near New Bern. That $153 million enterprise is set to begin in the winter of 2021-22 and be complet-
ed, if all goes to plan, in 2025. NCDOT’s efforts to modernize U.S. 70 in eastern North Carolina paid off in 2016, when the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) assigned the future I-42 designation to the majority of U.S. 70's route southeast of Raleigh all the way to the coast.
