North Carolina’s U.S. 158 Undergoes $89M Widening Project
Some contractors misunderstand the right way to build and install a trench box. What may be considered a minor mistake can have huge unforeseen consequences.

The project involves construction of new lanes adjacent to existing roadways; roadway construction on new alignments; and modifications to existing roadways that intersect the new construction.
Trench Box Installations Require Knowledge of OSHA Safety Rules
By Cindy Riley
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is overseeing an $89 million effort to widen 8.2 mi. of U.S. 158 from I-95/N.C. 46 in Roanoke Rapids to St. John Church Road west of Jackson. Most of the current two-lane road will be widened to a four-lane mediandivided road. The project also will include a bypass of Garysburg. “U.S. 158 is a major North Carolina thoroughfare reaching west from Winston-Salem to the Outer Banks on the east coast,” said Brooks Braswell, NCDOT resident engineer. “It’s the primary east-west route connecting both I-85 and I-95 to the northern coast of North Carolina. Widening this road in strategic areas is expected to help improve the traffic flow and safety of both local and state-wide travelers. This also is an effort to improve access to existing and future businesses along the U.S. 158 corridor in Northampton County.” The project involves mostly widening of the existing roadway. “It will have multiple lane switches as adjacent lanes are built and put in service to upgrade the existing lanes,” said Braswell. “Currently, the area motorists are still utilizing the existing lanes throughout the project. Adjacent lanes of travel should be ready for service by late spring/early summer of 2021. Impact to local traffic has been minimal, up to this point.

One of the most beneficial and tricky devices used in specialty construction, trench boxes have obvious benefits. They can hold up their end in all types of soil conditions, but they can be a bear to install and move. Understanding best practices for use of these devices can save lives and protect property. A cage made for a construction crew to safely work in a trench, the device does not support the trench walls, but instead protects workers in the event of a cave-in. Trench boxes are designed to be dragged along the trench using the backhoe or a crane. see TRENCHING page 22

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Andrew Wheeler and EPA Southeast Regional Administrator Mary Walker have announced a $265 million Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) loan to DeKalb County, Ga., for upgrades to its aging wastewater collection and treatment system. This project will help eliminate sanitary sewer overflows, improving water quality in the South River Watershed and better protecting the public. Primarily a suburban area, DeKalb County is on Atlanta’s eastern side and contains roughly 10 percent of the city’s population.

“EPA is acting on its commitment to infrastructure investment by providing critical support to fund investments in Dekalb County’s future.” Mary Walker EPA Southeast Region
The county will use the WIFIA loan to assess and rehabilitate the highest priority areas of its sewer system infrastructure. Upgrades will include sewer replacement, trunk sewer upsizing, full or partial length sewer lining and related activities at various locations within the county. The project will help eliminate sanitary sewer overflows to better protect public health and the environment in the county. “EPA is acting on its commitment to infrastructure investment by providing critical support to fund investments in Dekalb County’s future,” said Walker. “These upgrades are key to improving public health and environmental protections, while delivering good paying jobs and building stronger economies.” “With the award of this loan and the continued collaboration with the EPA, DeKalb County is positioned to construct a state-of-the-art sanitary sewer system,” said DeKalb County CEO Michael Thurmond. “Replacing this aged and previously neglected system will provide better service and continue to restore the trust of DeKalb County residents and ratepayers.” This project will cost $541 million and EPA’s WIFIA loan will finance nearly half of that figure. The remaining project costs will be funded by a combination of a Georgia Clean Water State Revolving Fund loan and revenue bonds. EPA estimates that the WIFIA loan will save DeKalb County an estimated $65 million and that construction and operation are expected to create approximately 1,800 jobs. WIFIA is providing financial support at a critical time as the federal government, EPA and the water sector work together to help mitigate the public health and financial impacts of COVID-19. Since March 2020, WIFIA has announced 19 loans and updated five existing loans with lower interest rates, saving ratepayers over $1.2 billion.

How to Report Safety Violations to Your Employer By David M Jarvis SPECIAL TO CEG
It’s inevitable. If you are a safety-conscious worker, you will at some point in your career be faced with the task of presenting a safety concern to your employer. If you’ve been given this responsibility, or if your company is truly supportive of safety efforts, then it’s easy. However, not everybody is lucky enough to be in those situations. Some employers are dismissive of safety concerns at best, and hostile toward those who bring them up at worst. So, what’s the best way to bring safety issues to your employer’s attention? The answer will, of course, depend on the nature of the hazard you are reporting. If it’s not an immediate danger, you have flexibility in how you approach your boss. However, if the safety issue is an immediate danger and somebody’s life or well-being is on the line, then you need to act accordingly. In that situation, the best thing to do would be to try to get the employee exposed to the hazard, out of the situation first. Deal with the consequences once they are safe but waiting to get a supervisor if they are not immediately available could be the difference between life and death. Yes, this could initially have a negative impact on your job (we’ll discuss employer retaliation in a bit), but you need to ask yourself if you want to live with the death of a coworker on your conscience. If your employer is not supportive of safety efforts, this situation will prove to be very complicated. Let’s assume, though, that we’re not in an immediately life-threatening situation. In that case, you should consider these suggestions: Follow Chain of Command Nothing is going to upset your boss more than you going over their head. Your immediate supervisor should be the very first person you address safety concerns with, even if you have a company safety director. Give them the opportunity to fix the problem. Let’s face it though, some of you have been working for your supervisors for a long time and you are fully aware of what their reaction will be. If you are in this unfortunate circumstance, or if you do approach them and their response is simply unsatisfactory, then you may need to seek help elsewhere. In a union shop, this could mean addressing the concern with your shop steward. In either union or non-union situations, it could be addressing the issue with your safety manager or director. A good safety manager will find a way to approach the situation without unnecessarily dragging your name into it. When an employee reports a safety issue to a safety manager, it is a good idea for that manager to go and do a walk-through of the area before contacting the supervisor. That way, when they contact the supervisor it is because they happened to be in the area and observed a safety violation, not because somebody went over the supervisor’s head. Enlist an Ally Some companies don’t have safety managers or shop
stewards. In these situations, you need to ask yourself, are there people in your company with influence that are strong proponents of safety? Perhaps you can bring the issue to their attention, once you’ve unsuccessfully attempted to work with your supervisor. Find a way to discreetly let them know what the problem is and maybe they will be able to run with it from their end. Make Sure You’re Not Simply Complaining One of my old bosses used to always say, “Don’t come to me with a problem, come to me with a solution.” He had an extremely open-door policy, but he didn’t want us just walking through his door to complain. He wanted to see that we’d thought about the problem we were experiencing and had a suggestion to fix it. Sometimes, we didn’t have suggestions and we would explain that, but what he was doing was showing us how to problem-solve. It’s an important lesson that most likely helped lead to where I am today. So, the next time you want
to run to a supervisor to complain, first think about what it is you’re complaining about. Are co-workers tied-off to unsuitable anchor points? Maybe you can go in suggesting what a suitable anchor point might be or that railings may be a better option. Do your co-workers seem to not understand what is required of them from a safety perspective? Maybe you can go in and request a training class that would help everybody understand better. Don’t Be Argumentative, Be Cooperative In line with going in and presenting a solution, your whole approach should be one of cooperation. If you go in making accusations and attacking management, you can expect negative results. Let your boss know that you wouldn’t be bringing something to his or her attention if it wasn’t important and that you did put a lot of thought into it, but you are really concerned. Tell them what you believe to be wrong and give them a chance to explain. Offer any solutions you may have and let them know that you will help them in any way you can to make sure the situation is corrected as efficiently and as quickly as possible.
Do Research Know what you are talking about, plain and simple. Don’t go and complain that the height of the railings are wrong when they’re not. Don’t complain that an anchor point is insufficient when it’s not. Do whatever research you need to do to back up your concern and have that backup in writing. If you find the information you need on OSHA.gov, print that page up and bring it with you. Show your boss what it says in the standard, but be careful, there can be old information out there that has possibly been superseded by new regulations or letters of interpretation. Employees who are adept at navigating the internet have a world of information at their fingertips, but if you know a safety professional in the field, perhaps you can ask them for a little assistance to ensure that your information is up-to-date. I have had many safety concerns brought to my attention in my career and, while many were valid, there were quite a few that weren’t. If you get an explanation of why something is not unsafe and why it is compliant with the law, you may need to be willing to accept that. Know That You’re Protected As an employee, you have rights, and one of those rights is the right to a workplace free of recognized hazards. Another is the right to voice concern for your safety without fear of retaliation — to your employer or to OSHA. In the worst case scenario, where you have a safety hazard that your employer refuses to address, or refuses to address in a satisfactory manner, you have the right to contact OSHA directly and file a complaint. In fact, every employer is required to post the OSHA poster that specifically tells you how to do this. The sad fact is, that not all employers are going to be willing to hear you out or be responsive to your concerns. Old-school thinking may cause them to label you as a trouble maker or a problem employee, but you need to stand by your convictions. Simply put, your employer cannot retaliate against you in any way for bringing up safety concerns. They cannot fire you. They cannot transfer you to a less desirable position as a result. They cannot reduce your pay. They cannot change your working conditions to make you uncomfortable or unhappy. If they do, OSHA has your back. And retaliation fines are steep. This is not a slap on the wrist. If a company is found guilty, the results are usually significant fines, full back-pay for the employee, and full reinstatement of the job. Granted, nobody wants to be out of work waiting for the system to work, but sometimes you have no choice. Voicing safety concerns to your employer is not only a good idea, but it is imperative if you want your company to have an effective safety program. However, there are right and wrong ways to do things. In these situations, diplomacy is key. Follow the chain-ofcommand as long as it is effective. Do your best not to hang anybody out to dry or throw anybody under the bus. Remember that the goal is your well-being and the wellbeing of your co-workers. Know that what you’re asking for is right. Once you know this, be insistent, be fearless, and you might just save somebody’s life. David M. Jarvis is the COO of Jendco Safety Supply

The Pensacola Bay Bridge carries traffic along U.S. Highway 98/Florida SR 30 between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze.
As demolition progresses on the storm-damaged Pensacola Bay Bridge, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is preparing to begin driving piles — concrete posts that are driven into the ground to act as a leg or support for the new bridge — during the first week of December. The 15,640-ft.-long span was struck by several construction barges that had broken loose from their moorings during Hurricane Sally’s rampage through the area Sept. 15. At least one barge wedged itself under the bridge, collapsing a section of roadway and forcing its immediate closure. No one was injured, but later engineering assessments determined that five of the structure’s 105 spans were damaged beyond repair and needed replacing, while two others required partial replacement. As soon as the hurricane’s winds subsided, the FDOT began sending teams of bridge engineers to inspect and assess the integrity of the Pensacola Bay Bridge. The agency also sent divers into the waters around the structure to examine damage to the footings. During their inspection of the bridge following the barge collisions, state engineers found almost three dozen bridge spans had been hit, ranging from total collapse to minor damage. Additionally, several bridge piers rotated as a result of the barge collisions, which will require repair. There also were cracked pilings and damaged beams to fix. More than two months later, the fabrication of multiple concrete piles, piers and beams continues in preparation for reconstruction. The inventory of concrete piles and beams continues to
increase with production coming from the Pensacola precast yard and a facility in Tampa. To date, FDOT has: • Mobilized multiple contractors working around the clock to facilitate construction and minimize impacts to the existing structure. • Approved multiple construction design plans and is reviewing additional designs for the permanent repairs that address the reconstruction of the Pensacola Bay Bridge’s spans and reestablishment of four lanes of traffic on the structure at the same condition as expected for new construction. • Widened 2,000 ft. of northbound and southbound Florida State Road 281 south of the Interstate 10 interchange and expanded the eastbound I-10 off ramp at the eastbound SR 281 off ramp to two lanes to improve travel time on the detour route. • Met with stakeholder groups, state and local officials, civic organizations and local business owners to discuss the bridge reconstruction as well as other actions that are being considered to efficiently restore regional connectivity. The FDOT has a targeted re-opening date of March 2021. Once repairs are complete, all four lanes will be open with no load restrictions. As each repair method is developed, the state agency will be conducting reviews to ensure the contractor is hitting all its milestones in the established schedule. The Pensacola Bay Bridge carries traffic along U.S. Highway 98/Florida SR 30 between Pensacola and Gulf Breeze. Motorists should continue to use all available detour routes, which include the Garcon Point Bridge and SR 87.
Winston-Salem, N.C., Widening Project to Finally Start in 2021 The long-awaited widening of Meadowlark Drive on Winston-Salem, N.C.’s west side gets under way next year, with plans already made to keep the road open during those busy times when school is convening and letting out. The Meadowlark widening project consists of adding a central turn lane to what is now a two-lane road. The goal is to smooth traffic flow in an area that has seen a lot of development: Meadowlark has both an elementary and middle school, a new city park (Jamison Park) and the massive Brookberry Farm development, with its mix of houses and apartments. The widening of Meadowlark was one of the projects approved by voters with the passage of a 2014 bond issue that designated $60 million for street improvements. On Nov. 16, the Winston-Salem City Council awarded a contract in the amount of $7.7 million to Smith-Rowe LLC of Mount Airy for the widening work.
Although originally estimated at a cost of $5.6 million, the engineers’ estimate for the project as designed came in at $8 million. “There have been a number of things to deal with on the project,” said Alan Temple, the project manager of the city. “It is a twomile project, so there is a lot of property and property owners to deal with. We ran into some budget issues that delayed the project. It is a big, cumbersome project.” He said work is expected to start in early May, with a completion date a little over two years later, in 2023. Because of the size of the project, the work is being split into two halves: First up is the southern end of the widening, where Meadowlark intersects with Country Club Road. Once that part of the work is done, the contractors will move to the northern end where Meadowlark intersects with Robinhood Road. “The road will stay open during construction,” Temple said. “We have put some restrictions in so that we do not have lane
closures in school drop-off and pickup times.” One alteration that is taking place will be the closure of the intersection of Beauchamp Road and Meadowlark Drive. At present, Beauchamp Road joins Meadowlark at a sharp angle, and the intersection is close to both the Country Club Road intersection on Meadowlark, and the shopping-center complex at the intersection. The fix will consist of creating a new short street to connect Beauchamp Road to Rosewind Lane, a street that goes into Brookberry Farm from an intersection farther to the north on Meadowlark. Then, the southern end of Beauchamp Road will be turned into a cul-de-sac so that traffic can no longer enter and leave the street at the current intersection. Another feature of the widened Meadowlark will be the construction of a multi-use path alongside the street to make it easier for bicyclists and walkers to use it. An ordinary sidewalk is 5 ft. wide, but the
multi-use path will be 10 ft. wide, Temple explained. The path will be built along the east side of Meadowlark Drive. “It will be wide enough for people to bike in both directions without causing any concerns,” he added. While not directly connecting to the nearby Muddy Creek Greenway, the multi-use path will make it easy for people and their bikes to get to Jamison Park, where they can easily connect to the greenway. “The multi-use path will go from Country Club to Robinhood with access to the shopping centers and pass right in front of the schools,” Temple explained. Winston-Salem officials said the widening project will be paid for with a mix of 2014 general obligation bonds, plus other non-voted bonds, and federal funds that the city can get up to $1.5 million. Under the terms of the contract, SmithRowe will have a goal of providing about 9 percent of its subcontracting work to businesses owned by women and minorities.

AEM Establishes Sustainability Council Drawbridge Replacement... to Help Set Priorities, Spark New Ideas New Fla. Bridge to Give Better Access to KSC: $126M Job As part of the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) steadfast commitment to building on the momentum of a sustainable future, AEM has announced the establishment of a Sustainability Council comprised of leaders from member companies. The council will help advance member companies’ efforts in addressing issues of sustainability and to provide a framework for the adoption of best practices and innovation. “Our members are committed to supporting a sustainable world by serving as a catalyst for conversation and innovation in the manufacturing industry,” said Curt Blades, senior vice president of Ag Services at AEM. “The Sustainability Council will work to spark ideas for establishing sustainability priorities for the equipment manufacturing industry and provide a framework that supports best practices for a more viable world.” “AEM and our member companies recognize that social and environmental challenges are complex and require transformation at all levels of an organization. Our industry is committed to supporting a sustainable world by serving as a
catalyst for conversation and innovation in the equipment manufacturing industry. By transcending traditional norms, we are working to spark ideas for setting sustainability priorities for the equipment manufacturing industry and providing a framework that supports best practices for a more viable world,” AEM said. For all of its 125-year history, AEM has worked to address societal and safety issues on behalf of the industry. This includes: • Health and well-being of the industry Leading the effort on equipment safety through safety materials programs, enabling the development of worldwide standards on topics related to seat belts, Roll Over Protective Structures (ROPS), cab filtration and many others. • Economic growth and security: The equipment manufacturing industry pays 35 percent above the national average for all manufacturing sector jobs. This demonstrates the commitment the industry has to ensuring employees are appropriately valued by receiving a fair and living wage. • Industry innovation and infrastructure: Equipment manufacturers are uniquely familiar with integrating innovative technologies into operations and working to modernize infrastructure, whether it includes using precision agriculture techniques to ensure an efficient harvest for farmers or deploying smart technology to ensure sustainably, efficient methods when building the nation’s roads, rails, highways, bridges, ports and more. “We recognize our industry’s connection to the natural environment and are dedicated to minimizing our operational impact. We understand that our future as an industry depends on the responsible use of natural resources and we acknowledge the real impacts of climate change and its effect on our members, their customers and their communities today. We believe it is our responsibility to address these impacts directly as we work to help our members fully align with the United Nation’s Sustainability Development Goals to support a more sustainable future for all,” AEM said.
A coalition of organizations continues to push forward with the replacement of the aging drawbridge at Kennedy Space Center (KSC), a project that offers a glimpse into a possible future when NASA and the Space Force merge their Florida Space Coast facilities to focus more on their core missions. According to permitting documents recently filed by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and NASA, construction of a new bridge that extends State Road 405 in south Titusville to the spaceport is still slated to begin in early 2022. The existing structure is referred to as NASA Causeway West or the Indian River Bridge. An FDOT spokesperson confirmed the replacement will span 4,025 ft. and have a minimum clearance of 65 ft., eliminating the need for a drawbridge that often backs up traffic when tall boats need to pass underneath. The current bridge runs 3,000 ft. and only has a 28-ft. vertical clearance. The project, FDOT’s Jessica Ottaviano said, “will replace the aging infrastructure and provide a safer and more efficient way to move people, transport space freight and launch materials.” FDOT estimates the total cost at $126 million, but NASA will only have to foot $13.5 million of the bill — $90 million comes from a U.S. Department of Transportation grant while the rest will be covered by Space Florida, the state’s spaceport authority. The new structure will include two separate bridges with two lanes each. Crews will first build the eastbound lanes to the south of the existing drawbridge, then transition all traffic there. In 2024, the old structure will be removed, and westbound lanes put in its place. Built in 1964, the current NASA-owned bridge was designed to connect Titusville to Merritt Island. Over the decades, it has carried countless spacecraft, employees, visitors, tourists and other hardware like pad infrastructure and building materials. These days, it’s not just KSC that needs the artery. It also leads to Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the KSC Visitor Complex and Blue Origin’s massive New Glenn rocket factory at Exploration Park. For some companies like Lockheed Martin’s Astrotech Space Operations in Titusville, it’s the only way to get processed spacecraft across the river and to their respective rockets at KSC or the Air Force station. The company also is renovating a Sustainability Goal Priorities facility near the causeway for heat shield work related to AEM has identified seven of the UN’s NASA’s Orion crew capsule, adding yet another bridge 17 Sustainability Goals, to be priorities for dependent. the Association and its member companies.

Recently, journalists took a hard hat construction tour of the nonprofit International African American Museum (IAAM) being built in Charleston, S.C., at the site of what once stood Gadsden’s Wharf, the disembarkation point of up to 40 percent of all American slaves. The museum will serve as a center that will highlight and educate others about the journey of millions of Africans, captured and forced across the Atlantic in the grueling and inhumane Middle Passage, who arrived in Charleston and other ports in the Atlantic world. The $97 million museum project will stand 13 ft. off the ground and sit on 18 columns. The source of its funding includes $43.4 in donations from individuals, corporations and foundations, $25 million from the city of Charleston and Charleston County, $25 million from the state of South Carolina, and $3.6 million from New Market Tax Credit. New York-based Pei Cobb Freed & Partners is the design architect of the museum. Founded by late Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, some of the firm’s best-known work includes the crystalline extension to the Louvre in Paris, the JFK Presidential Library in Boston and the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. Ralph Appelbaum Associates, the firm who also designed the Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Museum of African American History and Culture and the American Museum of Natural History, is designing the exhibits at the IAAM. Work began on the museum in January after two decades of planning. Completion of the IAAM, located at 14 Wharfside St., is on track for summer of 2021, with the opening scheduled for 2022. It will be built on the Cooper River with a view toward Fort Sumter and out to the Atlantic Ocean. The aim of the IAAM is to empower its visitors with the knowledge of the past in hopes that the journey will challenge, illuminate, inspire and, ultimately, move people to action. Among the museum’s features are: • The African Ancestors Memorial Garden, a 103,725-sq.ft. garden, designed by North Carolina native landscape designer Walter Hood. It will be situated on the ground level, free and open to the public, and highlight the original shoreline — the exact spot where so many captive Africans first set foot in America, • Gardens set aside for quiet contemplation as well as space for performances and programs, • Exhibitions that will share untold stories with themes that will include connections across the African diaspora, the spread of African American culture and influence, and the movements for justice and equality, • The Center for Family History, where visitors will have the opportunity to trace their genealogy, while changing exhibitions and special events will keep the museum empowered. Several planned galleries also will be created within the IAAM, including the Transatlantic Experience, South Carolina Connections, Atlantic Worlds, African Roots/African Routes, Carolina Gold, Gullah Geechee, American Journeys and one devoted to changing exhibitions.

Just Small Mistakes With Trench Boxes Can Be Deadly cause the soil on the sides of a trench to shift and cave in. Plus, a worker could be struck or crushed by the trench box as it is moved. “So relocate to another protected area of the trench as the trench box is being moved, or get completely out of the trench and stand in a safe place,” suggested the training organization. • People working in a trench box must have access to a ladder or other means of egress. The ladder must be secured and located within 25 lateral ft. of all workers, and it must extend beyond the top of the trench by 3 ft. OSHA Training Services stresses workers must not climb up and down the spreader pipes. “When using a portable ladder to enter or exit the trench, make certain it is located inside of the trench box or other protected area of the trench.” Secure the ladder against unintentional displacement, and make sure the side rails extend at least 3 ft. above the top of the ground or other landing surface “so you have something to grab when getting on and off of the ladder.” If the workers are using a structural ramp as their egress, a “competent person” qualified in structural design has to design it. “Designating a competent person and making sure that person is adequately trained is one of the most important steps to preventing trench injuries and fatalities,” noted OSHA. In addition, OSHA requires employers “to train employees on the hazards they may be exposed to, how to protect themselves and what PPE is necessary to work safely.” Cutting Through Confusion Trench boxes are popular for their relative ease of instal“Used appropriately, a trench box can help protect worklation and use compared to building a timber shoring system ers from serious and sometimes fatal injuries if a cave-in or other forms of protective system. occurs,” said Shane Wareham, director of sales and marketBut there are a few things OSHA Training Services ing of United Rentals. instructors suggest contractors and workers keep in mind Too often, contractors misunderstand the right way to when utilizing a trench box as a protective system: build and install a trench box, and some take shortcuts that • Never enter a trench box until you are certain the comput workers’ lives at risk, said Wareham. petent person has cleared it for entry. “A seemingly small mistake with a trench box could have • Never walk out of a trench box into an unprotected area huge unforeseen consequences.

They allow the trench wall to be steepened to reduce the amount of excavation, backfill and right-of-way needed. Teaching a course titled “Trench and Excavation Support Options and Excavation Slope Design,” continuing education provider PDHonline.com, Fairfax, Va., explains these shields are can be used in a wide range of soil conditions. They are heavy and cumbersome in tight quarters, and become much less efficient when underground utilities are common. Trench boxes must be lifted over the utilities or the utilities must be cut and restored later. The devices also can cause the pipe to shift off line and grade as it is dragged forward. For these reasons, PDH instructors advise matching box size to the configurations of the trench and trenching equipment. “If the shield is too heavy, the backhoe or crane selected for the job may not be able to efficiently move it,” they stress. “If the shield is too small, it may require many extra moves and not provide sufficient space to allow the crews to bed and set the pipe as well as such activities as dewatering.” The shield should be at least 4 ft. longer than a joint of pipe and should extend at least 18 in. above the top of any slide-prone bank, advises the continuing ed provider. “Generally shields can be economically rented and are much less expensive than fixed shoring systems,” the company added.
In its 29 CFR Part 1926.650-.652 Subpart P-Excavations, OSHA includes these rules on the installation and use of trench boxes: • A contractor should install a trench box in a way that restricts its lateral movement if there’s a sudden load placed on it (for instance, the earth starts to cave in or shift). The space between the excavation side and the trench box should be backfilled to ensure that it’s as small as possible. • The maximum distance between the bottom of the trench box and the bottom of the trench should be no more than 2 ft. A contractor can excavate up to 2 ft. under a trench box as long as there’s no indication that the soil is collapsing behind the shield or below it and the shield is rated for the full depth. • A trench box can be used in combination with other protective systems, such as sloping and benching. Under that circumstance, the trench box must extend 18 in. above the vertical part of the excavation walls to keep dirt, rocks and other debris from rolling into the trench. If the top of the trench box is at ground level, however, the trench box does not have to extend 18 in. above grade. • Trench boxes must be able to handle the pressure at the depth where they’ll be used and for the type of soil they’ll be used in. The competent person can use the manufacturers’ tabulated data to determine if a trench box is appropriate for a particular situation. If a trench is deeper than 20 ft., contractors must use a registered professional engineer (RPE) to design the trench box or select the right trench box for the depth of the excavation using manufacturer’s tabulated data. • As trenches get deeper, trench boxes can be stacked on top of one another to provide the necessary protection for workers. Each trench box must be designed to resist the pressure of the earth at the level where it’s being used. Contractors don’t have to use the same trench boxes for the top or the middle of the stack that they’d use for the bottom. OSHA advises using some kind of designation system to differentiate the trench boxes when they’re going to be used in a stack. • Workers can’t remain in the trench box when it’s being installed, taken out or moved vertically. According to OSHA Training Services Inc., the movement of the trench box can

J. Dewayne Allen, Allen Engineering CEO, Chairman, Dies J. Dewayne Allen, CEO and chairman of Allen Engineering Corporation (AEC), passed away on Nov. 15, 2020. A civil engineer by education, Mr. Allen worked on the construction of Interstate highways in Missouri and Illinois in the late ’50s and early ’60s. In 1964, Mr. Allen started AllenHardin Inc. which was a ready-mix concrete operation in his hometown of Piggott, Ark., with his wife, Mary Ann. This company grew and changed over the years to eventually become Allen Engineering Corporation after operating numerous plants in northeast Arkansas and southeast Missouri. In 1977, Mr. Allen designed, engineered and manufactured his first piece of concrete equipment: the Allen Razorback Truss Screed. Under his direction, AEC grew and developed a full line of concrete equipment ranging from walk-behind and ride-on power trowels to triple tube roller pavers. Mr. Allen was instrumental in the evolution of the flat and level concrete floors in the late 1980s and early 1990s. He was the first designer to put clip on float discs (pans) on ride on power
He will be remembered by many as a teacher and mentor of contractors who today produce some of the best concrete floors and pavements in the world. trowels in the United States. This combination of riding trowels equipped with float pans greatly improved the flatness of concrete floors as measured by F Numbers. These riders with pans along with laser guided concrete screeds revolutionized the construction of flat and level concrete floors in the USA and around the world. Mr. Allen’s contribution to the development of flat and level concrete floors was recognized with the prestigious Sam Face Golden Trowel Award. Mr. Allen was an innovator and creator at heart. He was named on more than 100 U.S. Utility and Design patents over his years leading product
development at AEC. Mr. Allen was always challenging the status quo and looking for a better way to place, finish or pave concrete. He loved concrete as a building material and the concrete industry as a whole. His passion was helping concrete contractors improve their craft with machines that made their jobs easier and their finished product better. He will be remembered by many as a teacher and mentor of contractors who today produce some of the best concrete floors and pavements in the world. Mr. Allen is survived by his wife, Mary Ann; his two sons, Jay (Lesle) J. Dewayne Allen and John; and seven grandchildren.

New Drawbridge at Kennedy Space Center Pushes Forward BRIDGE from page 16
focused on its Space Launch System rocket and transitioning KSC to a spaceport with more commercial tenants. But FDOT analyses showed maintaining the current bridge for 10 more years and then replacing it would cost even more: about $156 million. Space Florida last year applied for the USDOT’s Infrastructure for Rebuilding America grant program and secured more than two-thirds of the amount needed to replace the 56-year-old NASA bridge structure. The grant also included money for expanding Space Commerce Way, which leads to the visitor complex and Blue Origin’s factory. With Space Florida assuming responsibility for the project’s execution and funding a majority of the remaining $36 million, NASA agreed to state ownership of the new bridge. The transition alleviates some of NASA’s need to focus on projects that aren’t intimately tied to space, science and aeronautics.
Looking to the future, it could be the beginning of even more shifting responsibilities. The Space Force, which oversees the Eastern Range and other space-related facilities across the country, is exploring the possibility of merging Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and KSC to streamline operations. Like the bridge ownership change, the idea is similar: allow the Department of Defense (DOD) to focus on its core missions of national defense and launch support through new efficiencies and shifting peripheral projects off its books. The proposal puts increased responsibilities on the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Aviation Administration, commercial companies and other organizations like Space Florida to manage future space operations. The new nationwide authority would help establish a strategy for spaceport management and take over launch-scheduling work.

Calder Brothers Transform Mauldin Paving Into Top-Ranked Maker Pages 33-47
For more information on paving, compaction and milling equipment, as well as comparison charts, visit CEG's Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.
The factory and headquarters for Mauldin Paving Products is at 450 East Warehouse Ct. in Taylors, S.C.
By Eric Olson CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR
In 2019, a South Carolina manufacturer lifted the curtain on three new commercial class paving machines that, in terms of engineering and performance, rank among any made by much larger equipment makers. Mauldin Paving Products used a national product showcase to introduce its new, redesigned heavy paver, the 1860 model, noted for possessing more power and capacity. In addition, the maker released its new 1560 commercial paver re-engineered with an electrically heated screed as a standard feature, replacing the long-running 1550-D model. The third new Mauldin making its debut in 2019 was the model 650 gravity fed paver with a Tier IV engine. Their introduction into the marketplace is a testament to how far Mauldin Paving Products has advanced as a company in just over 25 years. A struggling family paving and compaction equipment maker in 1994 that had limped along for several years, Mauldin was purchased that year by another family group with the necessary capital and engineering skills to turn the company’s fortunes around. see CALDER page 36

Family of Four Brothers Operate Mauldin Paving in S.C. CALDER from page 33
Robert Calder and three of his sons, Glen, David, and Cameron, acquired ownership in Mauldin Brothers Equipment Co., which had been founded by Neil and Gene Mauldin in the early 1950s. Along with the eldest Calder brother, Wayne, who joined in 2000, the four siblings have operated Mauldin Paving Products ever since. From the beginning, Robert made the decision to act solely in an advisory capacity in the business. Shortly after buying Mauldin, the family company changed its name to Calder Brothers Corporation and continued producing and upgrading its paving line from its factory in Greenville, S.C. Today, David Calder is the manufacturer’s vice president of design and engineering; Glen is the vice president of operations; Wayne serves as vice president of manufacturing engineering; and Cameron is vice president of product and marketing. Company Grew Based on Robert Calder’s Vision When the Calder family purchased Mauldin, they produced the company’s paving products in a confined, 45,000sq.-ft. factory. But a massive growth spurt for Mauldin Paving inevitably led to the company outgrowing its original home and moving operations across the highway to its new and expanded building. “That was one of my father’s main contributions in his advisory capacity for us,” said Cameron Calder. “He gave us a vision for moving into this facility. We were clearly out of A Calder Brothers 1860 paver is being built
space in the other building — this is four to five times larger than that was — so he knew that that was the right move at that time. It has allowed us to expand and to grow the business. “Oddly enough, we later found ourselves in the same situation in this facility when we again outgrew the existing office space,” he said. “We had three or four people sharing one office or one person in a very small space. Not only did we fix that by expanding our office square footage, but we also wanted to ensure that we were creating an environment that is attractive to someone in the market for a job.” Calder said the company envisioned a workspace that increases employee productivity and enhances performance, while also giving them a good feeling when they come to work each day. “That was behind the push to execute the expansion the way we did it,” he said while speaking outside on a terrace at Mauldin Paving. “This outdoor patio, for example, is not something that is required, obviously, but it allows us the opportunity on a nice day like this to work outside, make private phone calls or eat lunch. It’s designed to give employees some flexibility.” The revamped Mauldin Paving offices/factory also have allowed the company to structure its own in-house product training facility, something that it had not had before. In the past, Calder said, such instruction was given in the warehouses where tables and chairs were set up and portable heaters used. At other times, the manufacturer rented hotel conference rooms and ballrooms to train. With the updated facilities, all instruction is now done adjacent to the factory. Standing aside a Calder Brothers M415XT maintainer grader are Brandon Granger (L) and Cameron Calder.

Calder Brothers Take From Old, Redefine New Equip. Lines CALDER from page 36
Calder Brothers Redefine Mauldin The old Mauldin company targeted the residential and commercial market with a line of paving and compaction equipment, not too different from what is offered today, according to Cameron Calder. On closer inspection, though, Mauldin has changed quite a bit since his family’s involvement, he said. “At that time, the compaction line was a much bigger portion of [Mauldin Brothers] company’s portfolio, accounting for about 40 percent of the annual sales,” he said. “We were finding that the changes in the compaction industry, prior to us acquiring Mauldin, had really eclipsed the products that they built, and it wasn’t our core area of focus. So, we phased out all but the smallest driveway rollers, which we continued to produce here up until this year.” Instead, Calder Brothers set on making profound product enhancements through the intervening years with its paving equipment. The line was completely revamped and expanded along the way, including adding motorgraders and asphalt distributors to its catalog. Cameron Calder said they also took that oil distributor technology and developed their own smaller liquid tank products, known as Tack Tanks. Versatile Mauldin 1860 Top of the Line Today, Calder Brothers considers its premier paving machine to be the model 1860, engineered to increase product performance and maintain ease-of-use for its operators. That’s also the opinion of most paving contractors — the Mauldin 1860 is the leader in its class as compared to those produced by other manufacturers. “It should be considered in the top end of the commercial class and that’s a segment that has just changed so much since we acquired this company,” Calder said. “It was a small portion of the segment then, but is the biggest slice of the pie today.” The 1860 replaces the long-running 1750-C and is powered by a Cummins 110HP Tier IV Final engine. The redesigned tractor now has a larger 9.5-ton material capacity. The new lower conveyor utilizes heavy-duty greaseless heat rated bearings designed for longer life, meaning less maintenance and downtime. “If you are going to be in the commercial class, you want to be able to bump up to the mainline road segment,” he said. “So, the 1860 has the heaviest screed in its class at 4,500 pounds and extends from eight feet to 15.5 feet. What that allows a contractor to do is he can work on residential projects all the way up to road work, which is really going to cover him from start to finish. The key there is the screed that gives him the means to move back and forth between different paving projects.” The Mauldin 1860’s screed features a mat quality and density that has become the preference for many paving contractors and their clients, Calder said, because it means jobs do not have to be redone. The manufacturer offers a fourauger feed system which maintains a much more constant production rate and less work for users as they are paving the project. Competing pavers in this class only have two augers, he said. Also new for the 1860 are two, five-in. digital displays on each operator stand. They help bring the necessary gauges, auger controls, and screed heating controls to the operators’ fingertips. Improving the visibility on each one of Mauldin Paving’s models has been central to its engineering improvements.
Seen here is the Calder Brothers four auger feed system, which is featured on the 1560 and 1860 pavers.
“The distributors, for instance, went through a big operator interface overhaul three years ago as we took advantage of what is available from current technologies,” he said. “We wanted to simplify the controls for quick and easy use. The system it replaced had a small display screen that was a common design among equipment at the time — a basic green screen with black letters. Today, the equipment has multicolor displays like those you see on electronic dashboards in new cars. Having those in our equipment makes it much easier for operators to, at a glance, see and understand the display.” Four Lines on the Market From its upstate South Carolina factory, Mauldin currently produces different lines of mobile machines to assist contractors in completing precision paving projects. They include: • Five pavers (models 650, 760, 1360, 1560 and 1860), • Four asphalt distributors (models MT300/600, MU-600, MU-1000, and the Precision Sprayer), • The M415XT Maintainer Grader, • Compaction Rollers (models 3500, 6000 & 6000 combi). Each of these products can be purchased, rented and serviced from Mauldin Paving’s dealers in towns and cities from coast-to-coast across the United States and Canada. A Family Quest According to Calder, identifying and purchasing a company that the family could run together more than 25 years ago was what led to today’s hugely successful line of Mauldin products. “I think one of the things that makes it work is because of the way we grew up,” he said. “We moved around a good bit as kids and when we each turned 18 and went off to university, we were spread out and only able to see each other once or twice a year. We remained close, but not physically close, so there was just a drive and desire to own a business togeth-
er.” After a period where the Calder family had no luck in finding the right business for them to buy and operate, Cameron Calder said they had to “take a pretty rash approach to” the task. He and Glen had been working for a company in Kansas City from which they both resigned to devote their energies to a full-time search for a suitable acquisition. “Our thinking was that since our family was from the eastern half of the country, we would focus on east of the Mississippi River,” he said. “We also liked the economic climate that was blossoming in the Southeast.” But the Calder family’s main criteria for an acquisition was finding a troubled company that could be re-engineered into a successful one. Mauldin Brothers Equipment fit that description perfectly. “We wanted to build a product out of a product line; we did not want to have a job shop that produced one-off machines,” Calder said. “We wanted a product line that we could be working to constantly tweak, improve and advance. But we were also looking for a business that was in some amount of distress, an ownership structure that needed an exit strategy, and one that we could afford to buy. Mauldin checked all those boxes for us.” In the latter part of the 1980s, Neil Mauldin’s company had undergone a rough period that led to the product line suffering as far as quality and support. Still, the Calder family realized that Mauldin Equipment was an established brand name, so they had to decide if they were going to fix what was wrong with the paving line and keep the brand or determine the brand was so badly tarnished that it needed to be thrown out. “We don’t compare ourselves to Harley-Davidson, but the situation we were in was like that [in the 1970s] for the motorcycle manufacturer,” Cameron Calder said. “HarleyDavidson has always been a well-known name, but it had a see CALDER page 64

It’s Official — NPE Has Been Cancelled Pavement professionals are used to bumps in the road. Alligator cracking, longitudinal cracking, pot holes —a lot can go wrong. Over the last nine months, the entire world has felt the weight of a global pandemic, and that burden has reached organizers at the National Pavement Expo and Conference (NPE). “We are eager to return to the in-person events that we miss and need so deeply, but have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to host the in-person 2021 NPE, which had been scheduled for January 20 to 23, 2021, in Nashville, Tennessee,” said Russ Turner, associate show director, NPE. “Continued developments have made it impossible to effectively execute NPE that deliver the level of connection, discovery and value our community expects.” Ultimately, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic motivated the cancellation. Specific factors in the decision included: ongoing government restrictions on travel and large gatherings in Nashville; and various company-imposed travel restrictions on employees which affected attendees and participating companies. Organizers decided not to postpone the event, mostly due
to the timing of the paving/maintenance season, as well as to avoid any potential detraction from the next in-person event in early 2022. Instead, Turner and his team are excited to announce NPE Virtual Conference that will focus on education during the month of February 2021. While the in-person event will be sorely missed, Turner said the virtual component would allow NPE to maintain its role as an important knowledge resource. “It is our job to provide technical, management and leadership classes to this industry,” he said, “even if we can’t meet in person for 2021.” For those who want to put the next event on their calendars, the 2022 NPE is scheduled for Feb. 23 to 25, 2022, in Charlotte, N.C. “We are very optimistic about the 2022 event,” Turner said. “Now more than ever, the face-to-face interaction and networking that trade shows provide are so important. Given what has transpired with this situation, we all realize it now more than ever.” Organizers are finalizing a comprehensive list of FAQs that will be emailed out and posted on the NPE website. Any conference/expo only registrations will be refunded in full.

National Asphalt Pavement Association Evaluates Using Plastic in Its Mixtures Plastic: It’s in the headlines, in our oceans and landfills, and now in legislation to encourage cross-industry research that explores ways to divert this massive waste stream into sustainable infrastructure. Today it’s estimated that about 19 percent of municipal solid waste in the United States is plastic alone. In October 2019, the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) and the Asphalt Institute created a joint task force to evaluate the potential of using recycled plastics in asphalt. The task force hired the National Center for Asphalt Technology to conduct a literature review, which yielded two new documents published this November. The first is a state of the knowledge, which includes summaries of plastic recycling, available research and research gaps that need to be bridged. The second presents the findings of more than 110 articles and reports that evaluate plastics in asphalt. “The challenge we are facing is that
plastic in asphalt roads sounds so simple, but in reality, it is rather complex — we have to consider worker health and safety as well as quality and performance,” said NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland. “NAPA has championed research problem statements that are being funded by the National Academies of Science and Engineering, more specifically the Transportation Research Board National Cooperative Highway Research Program to answer questions that are absolutely critical to understanding if plastics are viable in asphalt.” The release of these plastics documents comes on the heels of the new Save Our Seas 2.0 Act. Included in the legislation is a provision (Sec. 303, pg. 58) authorizing the National Academies of Science to conduct a study on repurposing plastic waste in infrastructure. Additionally, in early August, the House of Representatives approved and sent to the Senate the fiscal year 2021 appropriation bill for the
Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development (THUD). The bill included $800,000 for research on using plastic in infrastructure. “NAPA and its members are committed to building and maintaining our country’s infrastructure with the utmost goal of recycling, sustainability and concern for our environment and resources while, at the same time, providing the travelling public with the smoothest, quietest, safest and most perpetual pavement surface available,” said NAPA Chairman James (Jay) Winford Jr., president of Prairie Contractors Inc. in Opelousas, La. NAPA also discussed plastics on its latest podcast episode of “Pave It Black” and created a shareable video to help inform political leaders, transportation officials and the general public on what the asphalt industry is doing to evaluate the potential for using plastic in asphalt.

Compact track loaders can operate in places skid steers would struggle including uneven, muddy, sandy and snowy terrain.
Skid steers are great on harder surfaces like concrete and asphalt, especially when equipped with hard tires.
Differences in Skid Steer Loaders, Compact Track Loaders
How to Choose Between These Machines It’s easy to look at a skid steer and a CTL and assume the only difference between the two is tires versus tracks — but there’s much more to it than that, especially when it comes to deciding which one is needed on the job site.
By Jason Riley RDO EQUIPMENT COMPANY
It’s the most popular piece of equipment on construction jobsites. It has been and remains a consistent, high-selling machine in the construction industry. And it has been around for six decades. The skid steer loader is a must-have in virtually every construction fleet, from general builders to landscapers, and even those offering snow and ice management services. This small yet mighty machine proved to offer numerous benefits on various jobsites and gave way to inspire a new take on it: the compact track loader (CTL). Skid Steer or Compact Track Loader The CTL is designed to tackle tasks similar to that of a skid steer. Hallmarked by a tracked design instead of tires, it offers different operational abilities compared to its sister machine. It’s easy to look at a skid steer and a CTL and assume the only difference between the two is tires versus tracks — but there’s much more to it than that, especially when it comes to deciding which one is needed on the jobsite. Back to Basics The first step in deciding between a skid steer or compact track loader is to understand the basic features and traits of each, and how those translate into unique advantages on various jobsites. see LOADERS page 66

ASV Explores Innovation With Remote-Control Technology ASV Holdings Inc., a manufacturer of all-purpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, explores remote-control technology on its machines as part of the company’s mission to consistently push the limits on innovation. “We’re seeing the market for this type of technology advance at a rapid rate and it’s important for us to stay on the forefront,” said Buck Storlie, ASV Holdings Inc. product line manager. “Though there are no plans for its immediate use, our dealers enjoyed testing the remote-control technology.” ASV dealers had an opportunity to try the feature for themselves on ASV’s RT-120 Posi-Track loader at a recent dealer meeting. Dealers stood outside the enclosed operating area and directed the machine through many common tasks, such as avoiding obstacles and digging and hauling material. As interest in the safety and convenience of remotecontrol technology grows, ASV continues to test new innovations and improve the company’s machines, allowing operators to do more work in more places. Remote-controlled machines are beneficial for completing tasks in difficult locations and can increase efficiency by reducing the number of crew members required; instead of one driver and one spotter, the remote operator can fill both roles. ASV has no immediate plans to integrate the feature into its machines at this time, but will continue testing it and other technological advancements. For more information, visit www.asvi.com.
An ASV RT-120 moves without an operator as part of the company’s exploration into remote-control technology.

The system acts as a limiter, maintaining the desired speed so operators can focus on the task at hand for increased safety and productivity. Speed control increases versatility for the 6MCR, 8MCR and 10MCR machines, making it easy to move across the job site at speeds up to 6.2 mph (10 kmh) or maintain very low speeds for applications such as mowing or snow removal. “Mecalac products are designed to simplify the lives of our users without compromising on performance,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager of Mecalac North America. “Our MCR series provides the quickness of a skid steer with the 360-degree rotation of an excavator for versatility and travel speeds two times faster than any compact excavator. But sometimes speed isn’t everything. Speed control allows operators to easily match their speed to the task.” Mecalac’s new speed control travel speed management system allows operators to With the turn of a dial, operators can eas- set and maintain a maximum travel speed for increased safety and productivity.
between attachments without leaving the cab for greater efficiency in a variety of tasks, according to the manufacturer. “The MCR series is like a high-tech multi tool; you really can do it all with a single machine,” Bigwood said. “They don’t need a mower and a skid steer and an excavator. There’s an attachment for every task, and now a speed setting that matches. With speed control, operators don’t need to worry about trying to maintain a certain speed; they can just focus on the task at hand.” MCR units also feature Mecalac’s threepart arm and a 360-degree rotating ability for an extended range of movement and gamechanging compactness. Operators can do more from a single position or within confined spaces with increased flexibility and reach while minimizing unnecessary movement. The three-part arm can also be tucked in, allowing for extra compactness and mobility without overbalancing the unit in the front — resulting in a true zero-turn radius. In addition, the boom system gives the MCR enhanced lifting capacities, according to the manufacturer. For more information, visit www.mecalac.com.

Derek Harju uses a special 4-tine harrow on his Volvo L20H compact loader.
“At 9,900 pounds and 60 horsepower, modified with wide flotation tires, this machine is ideal for powering a locally designed and produced harrow,” said Bob Rosa of Volvo Construction Equipment dealer Woodco Machinery in Woburn, Mass.
Volvo Compact Wheel Loaders Deliver Cape Cod Cranberries During late September through October, as the temperature begins to lower and the leaves change into brilliant New England fall colors, the culmination of a year’s work begins with the annual Cape Cod cranberry harvest. Each year, the region harvests more than 14,000 acres of the ruby red berries, known as America’s first fruit. Today’s cranberry growers are third and fourth generations to farm the bogs. For an equal number of generations, the water reel has been the chosen method to pick berries. This equipment advanced from walk-behind inventions to ride-on and motorized versions, each designed and produced by the individual farm. The reels churn the flooded bogs, gently coaxing ripe berries to the surface so they can be corralled and suctioned out of the water. This year, a crop of Volvo L20H compact wheel loaders began appearing across the bogs. “At 9,900 pounds and 60 horsepower, modified with wide flotation tires, this machine is ideal for powering a locally designed and produced harrow,” said Bob Rosa with Volvo Construction Equipment dealer Woodco Machinery in Woburn, Mass. Rosa introduced the loaders grower by grower. They are a tight-knit set who have weathered a testy market for their berries and competition from Wisconsin, which now leads the nation in cranberry production. They take pride in their land, their occupation and heritage and lean on each other for support. They share what some describe as a “brotherhood of the bogs.” Most are members of the Cape Cod Cranberry Growers’ Association. As a native of the Bay State, Rosa wanted to help the growers thrive and knew that the compact loaders could

assist them far beyond the short harvest window. Gary Weston, owner of Weston Cranberry Corporation in Carver, was the first to switch to Volvo compact loaders. He instantly realized how much faster he could harvest berries. For Weston, the decision to go with Volvo was based on the proven experience he had with his fleet of Volvo excavators and trucks, and trusting Rosa’s advice. Weston said, “I like the quality of the Volvos, their ease of use and the comfortable cab with heat, a/c and radio. With a travel speed of 18.5 mph, once we finish with one bog, the Volvo can be driven to the next bog rather than being trail-
ered as with our previous machines.” Another convert is Derek Harju of Ken Harju & Sons Cranberries Inc. in Middleboro, Mass. “With the Volvo loader, the time to pick a 26-acre bog has gone from ten hours with three water reels to five hours with one machine,” he said. Harju uses a special 4-tine harrow on his loader. The Volvo loader skims across the bogs at a speed of three miles per hour versus 1.5 miles per hour with the homemade reel machines. The custom 17-ft. wide harrow takes fewer passes, resulting in less disturbance on the vines. Harju also opts for biodegradable hydraulic oil for a safer environment. Because it can be easily fitted with a range of attachments, rather than store for another season the Volvo is on duty yearround. On Harju’s farm, it will function as a forklift, be fitted with sickle-bar mower, load small bog sanders and plow snow. As Volvo shifts to electric compact equipment, today’s diesel loaders may one day be superseded with all-electric models, which offer the same power and performance. It’s a plausible next step for this group of growers who straddle staying rooted in tradition while eyeing a sustainable future for their families and farms. In addition to Weston and Harju, Cape Cod cranberry growers throughout the region use Volvo excavators, loaders and haul trucks, including: • Johnson Cranberries Ltd Partnership • Oiva Hannula & Sons Inc. • United Cape Cod Cranberry Co Inc. • Morey Custom Services • Federal Furnace Cranberry Co.

Cat Command Expands Loading to Small Wheel Loaders Caterpillar announces the expansion of Cat Command for Loading to its small wheel loader line. Removing the operator from the machine, Command provides semiautonomous remote operation of Cat 926M, 930M and 938M models to increase operating safety in potentially hazardous operating environments. New Cat Command for Loading for small wheel loaders will be available in both lineof-sight and non-line-of-sight operating configurations. By allowing the user to comfortably control the machine from a safe location, Command maintains high machine productivity in operating environments such as stevedoring, steel mill blast furnaces, industrial and waste as well as demolition and site decommissioning. A new dealer-installed field kit will make the Cat 926M, 930M and 938M models Command-ready. The system includes rear and side cameras, electric over hydraulic
Machine commands sent from the remote console are sent directly to the engine and implement electronics via a detected radio, reducing machine response delay.

steering system and Command activation lever mounted conveniently on the machine for ground-level access. Installed on the cabin roof are cameras, indicator lights, microphone, wireless receiver and antenna. Since Command controls are integrated with machine electronics, users will experience the same control response as they would operating inside the cab, allowing for productivity to be maintained from a distance. Flexible Remote Configurations Line-of-sight Command for Loading operation comes complete with a lightweight, compact control console supported by a comfortable shoulder harness. Basic machine controls like wheel loader startup/shutdown, bucket rack/dump and lift/lower are easily accessed through the ergonomic Command console control layout. Machine commands sent from the remote console are sent directly to the engine and implement electronics via a detected radio, reducing machine response delay. To ensure the user maintains machine control at all times, integrated Caterpillar electronics activate several safety features to stop all wheel loader movements if: A-stop or E-stop switch is pressed; wireless communication is lost; a severe fault is detected; or the Command console is tilted more than 60 degrees from normal operating position. Line-of-sight control with the Command console extends up to 437 yds. (400 m) to allow for convenient remote operation. The non-line-of-sight Command for Loading solution includes a modular, customized Command station that positions users in a familiar and comfortable seated position that simulates traditional machine control. One user can connect multiple machines from a single station, but only control one machine at a time. It is also compatible with other Command offerings for Cat equipment, such as excavators and dozers. Station components include machine joystick and foot pedal controls for all the company’s Command technology capable machines. A touchscreen mount is incorporated in the station design for machine control, while universal screen mounts are included for camera displays of the wheel loader. An emergency A-Stop or E-stop button is located on the Command station to quickly halt all machine movements. At the jobsite, an optional remote All-Stop control is available for people working around nonline-of-sight Command loaders. Command for Loading for Cat 926M, 930M and 938M wheel loaders will be available for purchase in late 2020. For more information about Cat Command for Loading, customers should contact their local dealer or visit: www.cat.com.

reputation for something bad. Rather than throw out the name, they fixed the problems and that’s the same strategy we took with Mauldin.” Engineered to Perfection From there, he said the family’s philosophy has been to make sure Mauldin Paving’s equipment is built the same way every time so that it remains a machine that contractors can rely on. After that, Calder Brothers could focus on bringing meaningful, best in class features to its customers. “I talked earlier about our four-auger systems, but that was not something we invented by any means; that was Neil Mauldin’s concept from the 1970s,” said Calder. “But it feeds material very well to a screed, there’s no doubt about that. What we did was look at the screed and think ‘OK, what’s available among manufacturing technologies today that is so different from when the screeds were first designed?’ We found that they were designed when the high-end manufacturing equipment was simply too expensive to build for small- and medium-sized equip-
ment makers. So, we redesigned our screeds to take advantage of all the high-end manufacturing equipment we had invested in the company. That allowed us to manufacture a world-class screed.” Robert Calder lent his sons his wealth of engineering and business expertise, helping guide them along the path to realizing their manufacturing goals for the reimagined equipment maker. “He was an unbelievable advisor to us early on in our formation of long-range strategies and vision,” according to Cameron Calder. “One of the things he told us was to be the best manufacturer at welding together — not gluing, not bolting, not assembling — but welding incredibly complex pieces at low volume because that is a protected niche, one that would allow us to be successful. It doesn’t matter if it is in paving equipment or oil-drilling equipment.” The factory and headquarters for Mauldin Paving Products is at 450 East Warehouse Ct., Taylors, S.C.

Compact Track Loader Offers Different Operation Abilities LOADERS from page 52
Both are jobsite proven as dependable, efficient machines known for exceptional maneuverability. Able to turn on a dime, skid steers and compact track loaders can operate in tight or awkward spaces where turning radius isn’t generous. Skid steers are lighter than track loaders, making them easier to transport, often with less time and cost. Building on 60 years of trusted, dependable operation, they continue to have a solid reputation in the construction world, thanks to manufacturers like John Deere that have built quality machines throughout the years. CTLs have the edge over skid steers in terms of operator comfort. Their smooth operation is a bit more forgiving than the rougher ride of a skid steer. Tracks also cause less disruption to the ground, reducing site clean-up time compared to a skid steer. Once the basics are understood, it’s time for a closer look at what separates the skid steer and the compact track loader. Most often, the decision really hinges on where the machine is going to be used. Location, Location, Location Not just true in the real estate world, loca-
tion comes into play as a deciding factor between a skid steer and compact track loader because each machine is designed to perform its best in certain conditions. Skid steers are great on harder surfaces like concrete and asphalt, especially when equipped with hard tires. While compact track loaders are able to operate on these surfaces, the harsher ground is tougher on tracks and can cause accelerated wear. Rocky conditions are also much tougher on CTLs, with the possibility of a track being damaged or cut by sharp objects. That said, skid steer operators too must take caution on this terrain to avoid puncturing tires. Conversely, compact track loaders can operate in places skid steers would struggle including uneven, muddy, sandy, and snowy terrain. Tracks navigate well on these surfaces and the added stability makes a compact track loader more productive and capable of better lifting and breakout force. While location is perhaps the most important factor in choosing a skid steer or compact track loader, it’s not the only one. Like any decision, a machine has to make sense on the bottom line, which is why cost considerations are the next area to examine in this debate.
Dollars, Cents Operating and ownership costs vary between skid steers and compact track loaders. In terms of time investment, skid steers and compact track loaders require virtually the same commitment to preventative maintenance. The only differentiating part is tires vs. tracks, and both of those should be checked on a regular basis — tire pressure on skid steers, track tension and adjustment on CTLs. A pro tip for checking track tension: resist the instinct to make them too tight. A little sag in the tracks is good, as overtightening can lead to undercarriage issues and accelerated track wear. Looking at upfront and short-term costs, the skid steer comes out as the more economical choice. The price tag of a compact track loader is higher than a comparablysized skid steer. And the biggest wear item of a CTL, the tracks, is more expensive than skid steer tires. Evaluating long-term costs, compact track loaders have a bit of an edge. Despite a common misconception, tracks last several hundred hours longer than skid steer tires, in comparable operating situations. A midquality track typically lasts three to four
times longer than conventional tires, with proper use and care. Another factor to consider is downtime cost. If clean ground conditions become sloppy, a skid steer may not be able to work. A compact track loader, however, is designed to perform in adverse ground conditions, and the day’s productivity won’t be halted due to weather or other unforeseen circumstances. Choosing Wisely Reviewing these three key considerations, it’s easy to see just how individualized the choice is for a skid steer or compact track loader. A company that sees the majority of time spent on asphalt or concrete surfaces is going to get results with a skid steer and pay a lower initial cost. Conversely, a contractor whose jobsite characteristics predominantly include uneven or sandy terrain, or those who do a good amount of work in rainy and snowy weather may find the track loader is worth the upfront cost and the investment will pay off in the long run. Keep in mind the basics, consider location, and check overall costs when making the decision between a skid steer or a compact track loader. 

Bobcat Company Introduces 6-Ton R2-Series E60 Compact Excavator Bobcat Company has enhanced its compact excavator lineup with the introduction of the R2-Series E60 compact excavator. The R2-Series E60 offers many of the popular benefits of the R-Series compact excavators as well as a long list of enhanced R2-Series features to help customers meet the increasing demands of today’s job sites, according to the manufacturer. The E60 is the latest release in the new R2-Series lineup of Bobcat compact excavators, which includes the conventional tail-swing, 4-ton E42 and minimal tail-swing, 5-ton E50. New dual flange rollers not only increase lift-over-side performance, they also provide a ride quality that’s smoother and more comfortable for operators, according to the manufacturer. The added features in this design result in an increase in lift-over-side capacity, improved over-the-side digging performance and slewing ability, and offers improved ride quality, bringing greater comfort while moving across job sites. An optional clamp diverter valve has been added for enhanced hydraulic clamp functionality and improved ability to run other attachments without disconnecting the clamp. Auxiliary hydraulics are easier to reach and attach, due to a new location on the excavator arm. A standard integrated lift eye will give operators a convenient method for handling objects or moving them in and out of the trench. The new R2-Series features a redesigned Bobcat engine that delivers the performance operators need while reducing and simplifying routine maintenance. The new engine improves cold-weather operation and includes a variety of features that make maintenance and service more convenient. R2-Series excavators have a new fuel filter that’s larger, enabling better system protection and longer filter life with more than double the media surface area. It has more holding capacity to capture impurities for longer intervals, greatly extending the life of the fuel filter. The R2-Series E60 excavator is equipped with a new cool-
ing system with side-by-side heat exchangers. This feature controls engine compartment temperature more efficiently than ever before, improving performance and serviceability while protecting engine component life. Cleanout is easier, too. There is no need to separate coolers to remove debris or wash out the coolers. It also generates less noise to enhance operator comfort. With an advanced in-cab display, operators can receive detailed machine information and experience enhanced device connectivity. The 7-in. display panel, with a wide and easy-to-use touch screen, is waterproof and hardened to reduce scratching. Operators can view and toggle through machine performance information to make operation efficient, productive and profitable. The display also supports multiple languages. The optional rearview camera integrates with the touch display, so there’s no need for multiple screens. The camera offers a continuous rear view from the operator’s seat, if desired, which provides an additional viewpoint for certain applications. The camera is mounted high and out of the way to prevent contact with obstacles and debris. The powerful lift performance of the conventional tailswing E60 can be further enhanced with an optional counterweight to maximize lift capacity. It also improves over-theside digging performance and slewing ability, according to the manufacturer. E60 compact excavators set new standards for operator comfort. A higher back and new headrest give operators added support for long hours of operation. The heated seat makes a perfect complement to the automatic temperature control, keeping operators comfortable on frigid days. Operators can keep their productivity high at night or in dark working conditions with standard LED lights. Bright, efficient and reliable standard LED lights provide customers with far-reaching visibility when the light level is low. For more information, visit Bobcat.com.

Takeuchi Redesigns Its TL8R2 Compact Track Loader
Creep mode is a standard feature on the TL8R2 models equipped with high flow auxiliary hydraulics. This feature will enable operators to precisely match the forward speed of the track loader to a particular attachment without having to constantly meter the travel lever.
Takeuchi-US’s completely redesigned TL8R2 is engineered to provide enhanced power, strength and maneuverability. The radial lift design offers a tipping load of 6,041 lbs. with an operating weight of 9,182 lbs. The TL8R2 is equipped with a 74.3 hp turbocharged engine that is EPA Final Tier IV Emission Compliant. The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) featured on this machine minimize emissions for clean and efficient operation. Creep mode is a standard feature on the TL8R2 models equipped with high flow auxiliary hydraulics. This feature will enable operators to precisely match the forward speed of the track loader to a particular attachment without having to constantly meter the travel lever. The creep mode function is ideal for attachments that require a consistent, repeatable travel speed, such as a cold planer and trencher. The automotive styled operators station features a 5.7-inch multi-informational color display with a rearview camera and a sealed rocker switch bank that helps improve performance and functionality by providing the operator with a wider range of operational information. Also, standard equipment on the TL8R2 are the low-effort pilot controls and proportional auxiliary switches to give the operator the precision needed to work more efficiently in a comfortable, fatigue-free environment. Additionally, a pressurized cab is an available option on the TL8R2. Optional cabs are equipped with a roll-up door, A/C, heat, defrost and front wiper, and AM/FM/Bluetooth radio providing all day comfort to the operator. “Takeuchi is excited to release the completely redesigned TL8R2” said Keith Kramlich, national product and training manager. “Takeuchi prides itself on our continuing tradition of innovation and advancing technology, and the TL8R2 is a perfect example of that. Operators will feel more strength, performance, maneuverability, versatility, and efficiency in this machine, increasing their profits.” For more information, visit www.takeuchi-us.com.
Hitachi Announces Debut of Its ZW30 T4F Compact Loader Hitachi Construction Machinery Loaders America Inc. (HCMA) announced the debut of the ZW30 T4F compact wheel loader recently. The ZW30 features an even half cubic yard bucket, making it ideal for landscape supply operations, nurseries and other applications calling for precise measurements. However, like its larger Hitachi loader counterparts, the ZW30 handles snow and cleanup operations equally as well. The Kubota engine is powerful and reliable, according to the manufacturer, and, in conjunction with the responsive hydrostatic transmission, limited slip differentials and rear axle oscillation, this compact loader handles and travels well, no matter how tough the terrain. In addition to the smooth operation, operators will appreciate the cab environment, which includes enhanced visibility, standard air conditioning, adjustable suspension seat and an easy-read dashboard monitor panel. “I am very happy that we made the investment to have a closed cab," said Carmine Capobianco, of Big Valley Nursery. "I am sure I will appreciate it even more as winter settles in. The cab is very comfortable, yet still offers tremendous visibility." Additional standard equipment includes a

universal quick coupler, sliding windows on both doors, access on both sides of the cab with easy access steps and an automatic parking brake system. Overall, the ZW30 T4F provides a powerful and light footprint with a compact body. Durability, comfort and safety also have been engineered into this compact, designed to satisfy both experienced and inexperienced operators. Importantly, all the Hitachi compact wheel loaders are Tier 4F certified with only a DOC to control emissions. There are no complex and expensive emission DPF filters to plug, regenerate, maintain or replace. And no SCR to feed with DEF. Longer maintenance intervals with standard 500 hours engine oil changes and Hitachi’s HN oil impregnated bushings offer forgiveness if the operator missed a pin greasing service, according to the manufacturer. These Hitachi compact wheel loaders can offer as much as 10 times the tire life of skid steers and track loaders, the manufacturer said. Furthermore, these compact wheel loaders save 1/3 the fuel cost. For more information, visit www.hitachiwheelloaders.us.

Neil Smith, Demonstration Team Leader, ‘Top Gear’ Show Star, Retires From JCB Since 1976, Neil Smith has represented JCB in a number of roles, most recently as the head of the company’s North American demonstration team. But you also can find him in the Guinness Book of World Records as the holder of the record for the longest trip made in an excavator, or as the driver of the world famous 100 mph drag-racing backhoe, the JCB GT. On Sept. 30, the company celebrated the achievements of Smith, whose career with JCB took him to more than 50 countries and whose skills and “cando” attitude, have left a lasting impact on countless team members lives. Speaking at the ceremony at the company’s headquarters in Pooler, Ga., JCB North America President and CEO Richard Fox-Marrs said, “Neil’s initial mission in North America was to set up the demo facility and he set it up well, putting the same exacting standards in place in Savannah that he’d seen in the UK. He really did create an excellent facility and team that has stood the test of time. “All of us here at JCB wish Neil the very best in his retirement, we are extremely grateful for all of his contributions to the success of the company in his 44-year career, and he will be held in the highest regard,” said Fox-Marrs. Beginning 44-Year Career Born in Rocester, United Kingdom, the home of JCB’s World Headquarters, working for JCB was a natural fit for Smith as both his father and older brother both worked for JCB. “I walked past JCB every day to get to secondary school,” said Smith. “In fact, at 12 or 13 years old, my friends and I were walking home and decided to stop into the marketing department to pick up brochures for a school project. It was this experience that made me realize just how great of a company JCB is, and I knew then that this was where I wanted to be one day.” Flash forward a few years and Smith would find himself joining the ranks of JCB in the machine shop, Bay 1 to be exact, working with numerically controlled machines. Smith served in several other roles at JCB until joining the UK Demonstration Team in 1980 where he spent his first six months learning the ins and outs of the JCB backhoe in order to perform with the world famous JCB Dancing Diggers.

Crosby Equipment Company, Inc. (L-R) are Tonya Poole, vice president of HR; Neil Smith; Spencer Howard, demonstration team manager; and Richard Fox-Marrs, JCB Inc. president and CEO. The company presented Smith with a framed Ray Ellis print of Forsyth Park in Savannah and a custom-made memento marking his achievements at JCB created by JCB Engineer, Jason Middleton.
After his initial six months training, Smith’s first Dancing Diggers performance was at a global construction equipment show called bauma held in Munich, Germany in 1980. Next Move For years Smith supported global JCB events from based in the UK, including trade shows, dealer events and even customer installations. But why leave the UK? When asked “What brought you to the United States?” Smith laughed and said, “That’s a funny story.” And as the story unfolds, it sounds more like a movie plot than an equipment company job offer. Smith said in 2000 he came across from the UK to support JCB marketing efforts with the Superbowl in Atlanta, Ga. After the event, John Patterson, JCB Group CEO at the time, said to Smith “What’s your next move?” and it was then that Smith made a statement that would change his life, “I’ve always wanted to move to the States.” Six months later, Smith and his wife and their two daughters would move to the United States so that Smith could help open JCB’s North American headquarters in Savannah, Ga., and lead the North American Demonstration Team. Smith’s career in the States has provided him a number of unique opportunities, from driving the “Backhoe Across America,” to creating Santa’s sleigh for The Lady Bamford Center for Early Childhood Development, to designing and building one of the region’s most enjoyable mud run
courses, and becoming the driver of the JCB GT. When the subject of the JCB GT comes up, Smith joked that he was in the “wrong place at the wrong time.” The JCB GT is the drag racing backhoe that can reach speeds more than 100 mph due to its supercharged 572 big block Chevrolet V8 engine. After a chance walk past a manager’s window, Smith is one of only two people in the global company who is certified to drive the GT. But it’s through the GT that Smith had several experiences of a lifetime, including drag racing down a professional test track and spending time with the television show “Top Gear.” During his final days in the office at JCB, Smith recounted the amount of once-in-a-lifetime opportunities that his career at JCB has afforded him. And when asked what his secret to working at the same place for 44 years is, he smiled and said, “It’s been a privilege to do what I do. I’ve been fortunate to never have woken up and said ‘I have to go to work’ it’s more like ‘I get to go to work’.” Looking Ahead In retirement, Smith and his wife Jeannette will move back to the UK where he said, with a laugh, that he plans to retire. But those who know Smith best know that after a short while, we’re more than likely to find him back at JCB Rocester, UK where it all began. For more information about JCB, visit www.jcb.com.

Thalle has combatted this by providing additional equipment resources to the project to increase production when the weather permits.” Thalle has a vast fleet of equipment being utilized on this project, including numerous 40-ton and 45-ton Volvo A45G, Caterpillar 745 and Bell 40E articulated haul trucks; 10 hydraulic excavators ranging from Caterpillar 336 through Caterpillar 420F2, a Komatsu PC650LC and a John Deere 350G; six bulldozers including Komatsu D65PX18, Komatsu D61PXi-23 and Caterpillar D6T LGP; six rollers, including Caterpillar CP56B and Hamm H20IP; two motor graders, including a Caterpillar 140M3; two John Deere 9520R tractors with dual 21 cu. yd. pans; a John Deere 5065E tractor with sweeper attachment; and a Caterpillar 966H loader. Support equipment includes water trucks, fuel trucks, skid steer loaders, mechanic trucks, hydroseeding equipment and automated traffic control devices. “Currently, this equipment is situated to excavate from two borrow sites with hydraulic excavators loading the articulated haul trucks and to place this material on the new highway alignment. After dumping at the point of placement, the borrow soil is spread in lifts, utilizing the bulldozers and compacted with the rollers. Bulldozers also fine grade side slopes of fills and shape
drainage ditches throughout the course of the work. The motor grader maintains haul routes, and the water trucks regularly wet the travel ways to mitigate fugitive dust.” The project is roughly 20 percent complete. The main materials required for the construction are the borrow soils, followed by concrete for structures, aggregate base course and asphalt. “This project is largely surrounded by existing roadway and farmland that required clearing and grubbing and topsoil to be stripped to begin work,” said Sharp. “Demolition of existing structures was required in some areas of the project limits to accommodate the new roadway. “Excavation is occurring at multiple sites to produce the massive quantity of borrow soil required to construct the fills for the mainline of the new roadway alignments.” The project was selected as a Build NC Bond project. Funding was secured with the initiation of the bond program, which was designed to support the Strategic Transportation Investments Act and deliver needed projects in a timely manner. Work began in September 2019, with a tentative completion date of March 2024. Braswell added, “The project has been very rewarding to watch as it takes shape. There has been a massive amount of work that has taken place to get the project to where it currently is.” CEG

ASSOCIATED GENERAL CONTRACTORS OF AMERICA (AGC) Virtual Crane Management in Construction Safety Training Dates: December 17 – 18, 2020 Times: 8:00am - 5:00pm AGC of America, supported by a Susan Harwood Federal Training Grant, developed the Crane Management in Construction Safety Training.

PIRTEK Notches Recognition for Rapid Sales, Growth PIRTEK, a service provider for onsite hydraulic and industrial hose replacement and related product retailer, was ranked the third fastest-growing franchise per unit percentage compared to every other existing franchisor in the annual Franchise Times Top 200+ listing. The company also was ranked No. 151 based on 2019 systemwide sales. Franchise Times Top 200+ is the most comprehensive annual ranking of the 500 largest franchise systems in the United States. The brand has been customer-first and service-focused for more than 40 years, with more than 425 units currently, up 7 percent in sales growth and 28.5 percent in unit growth throughout all of 2019. PIRTEK services industries including automotive, engineering, construction, distribution, mining, manufacturing, oil and gas and agriculture. PIRTEK prides itself on being able to fill customers’ needs quickly and efficiently, having the widest variety of unique products and parts to keep essential projects up and running. Its quick turnaround time also is credited to the 24/7 on-site service it offers to hydraulic and industrial hoses, often enabling customers to be up-and-running again quickly, minimizing equipment downtime, according to the company.
“Being ranked among the very best in worldwide franchising is actually a direct correlation to our international leadership both in Australia and around the globe. Its stewardship and devotion to our U.S. development is evident by our enormous achievement as third fastest-growing in the world. The international team has laid the blueprint, foundation and standards by which we operate, and this ranking is a testament to them too,” said Nick Ridgway, PIRTEK USA’s director of franchise development. To rank as the 151st largest franchise in the world, the Franchise Times list is generated by companies’ voluntary
reports and the most recent franchise disclosure documents. In 2019, PIRTEK celebrated record-breaking sales with global numbers of $535,000,000, and it continues to prosper throughout 2020. As revenue is constantly streaming and has only proven recession-resistant, it makes the brand attractive to those looking to invest long term in any company. PIRTEK hopes to onboard potential franchisees who put customer service at the forefront of their mission. The brand welcomes driven individuals from any and all industries.
