Uncertainty about material prices and availability is nothing new to construction contractors. They know that neither the most detailed plan nor the best-crafted contract will help when delivery falls short. “Go” becomes “no-go” in an instant, creating a ripple effect and hitting other areas of the construction project from see SUPPLY page 46

Lake Lure Flowering Bridge photo

The Lake Lure Flowering bridge, following the destruction caused by Hurricane Helene.

Crews Demolish Historic Lake Lure Bridge in North Carolina The Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, a beloved landmark in western North Carolina, will be demolished starting Aug. 18, 2025, due to the impact caused in 2024 by Hurricane Helene.

The historic structure, built in 1925, sustained severe damage during the tropical storm. It was inundated with debris that flowed down the Rocky Broad River as the raging waters picked up homes, vehicles, trees and mud before eventually depositing most of it in the town’s namesake lake.

After thorough assessments by two independent engineering firms, it was determined that the bridge is beyond repair and cannot be restored, according to an Aug. 7 Lake Lure town notice.

After a competitive bidding process, Lake Lure municipal officials awarded the bridge demolition contract to Mitch Contracting in nearby Mill Spring, N.C. The process will likely take several weeks, the Asheville Citizen Times reported Aug. 11.

“The town of Lake Lure recognizes the historical significance of the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge, and we remain mindful of what it has meant to our community and to the countless visitors who have come to tour it,” the notice said.

“We can never thank the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge volunteers enough for their dedication and commitment to beautifying the bridge and the town of Lake Lure over the years. For over a decade, they worked tirelessly to create a gateway to somewhere beautiful.”

Local officials are urging the public to avoid the demolition site, including the areas on both sides of the bridge and near the Lake Lure Flowering Bridge Education Center.

Located in Rutherford County, 30 mi. southeast of

Asheville, both the town and the lake are nestled within the Hickory Nut Gorge, a 14-mi.-long canyon through the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Lake Lure Still Has Much Work Ahead to Restore Community The three-arch bridge carried traffic between Lake Lure and Chimney Rock for 85 years. When it was decommissioned in 2011, a volunteer group formed a nonprofit to care for the structure.

Twelve themed gardens were planted in raised beds across the 155-ft. arched span in 2013, the year it was dedicated.

Since then, the bridge became one of the more-visited attractions in that part of the state, drawing more than 180,000 visitors a year.

In a statement on the bridge’s website, volunteers said they are “heartbroken” over the need to demolish the bridge but not defeated. The education center survived the storm with “minimal damage,” but the surrounding infrastructure and parking lot must be completely replaced and restored.

“With your generosity, we can recover and get back to work,” the post read. “Together, we can revive this beautiful garden destination for residents and guests from around the world to enjoy for generations to come.”

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is overseeing the ongoing removal of silt and debris removal around the site; so far, the agency and its subcontractors have hauled away 808,570 tons of material, according to the latest Lake Lure update. However, the water level in the lake remains the lowest it has been since it was built in the mid-1920s.

In an Aug. 7 statement, Lake Lure Mayor Carol Pritchett said that the bridge was far from the only thing in her town severely impacted by Helene’s rampage.

“Unfortunately, Lake Lure’s nearly 100-year-old utilities infrastructure [sanitary sewer systems and wastewater treatment plant], in addition to our dam, town hall, welcome center and municipal buildings, the Washburn Marina and floating boardwalk, the lake itself, surrounding roadways and vehicular bridges were also significantly damaged by the devastating hurricane and flooding,” she said.

Pritchett also noted that town officials have been working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), applying for grants, working with local and state representatives to obtain funding and using existing capital from the community’s budget to restore its vital resources.

“We have made remarkable progress with the support of FEMA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and their contractors,” she said. “Through their monumental efforts, we are hopeful to be able to reopen the lake in the spring of 2026.”

Though the lake remains closed, the town itself is welcoming visitors back following the hurricane, the Asheville new source reported.

“The town of Lake Lure is open for business right now and we are surrounded by beauty and so many enjoyable things to do,” said Pritchett.

Chimney Rock State Park, a major draw for the area and located just west of Lake Lure, reopened to visitors in June following an extensive cleanup and repair effort as a result of the storm damage. In 2023, the park saw more than 400,000 visitors. 

Southern Concrete Materials Employs New Workhorse Loader

Southern Concrete Materials’ two new Cat 938 wheel loaders are both hard at work loading fine and coarse aggregate.

The Cat 938 Centennial Edition picks up a load of fine aggregate sand to be mixed.

By Eric Olson

Additionally, SCM pours a big block out of leftover concrete, which also needs to be moved.

“To do that, we purchased a versatile extendable boom implement,” he said. “For the last several years now, it’s been a quickconnect attachment device so that the operator doesn’t have to get off the tractor to change implements.”

Needless to say, the inherent adaptability of the Cat 938s have made them SCM’s workhorses as they constantly maneuver around the company’s various concrete plant sites.

Bryson added that despite being so robust and rugged, the loaders also are surprisingly good workspaces for their operators.

“They have enough creature comforts on them that I truly don’t feel bad when we have someone running one of them for eight to 10 hours a day,” he said. “As good as Cat machines and Carolina Cat have always been, the manufacturer has made some upgrades in just the last few years that make them even better inside and out.”

CEG CONTRIBUTING EDITOR

For several decades, the professionals at Southern Concrete Materials (SCM) in Asheville, N.C. have relied on Charlottebased Carolina Cat to provide them with the machines they need to get the job done.

SCM is one of the leading ready-mix concrete producers and suppliers in Western North Carolina and North Georgia. It runs 24 batch plants and facilities in the region, utilizing 150 mixer trucks, 25 haul trucks and 25 wheel loaders. SCM employs approximately 300 people.

Recently, SCM helped celebrate Caterpillar Inc.’s 100th anniversary in 2025 by purchasing a new Cat Centennial Limited-Edition 938 wheel loader from Carolina Cat. Rather than the traditional yellow hue, the new machine sports Cat’s throwback “Centennial Grey” paint scheme to recognize the original color of the venerable equipment maker’s first products.

Even though SCM already has approximately 15 other Cat 938 aggregate handlers operating at its facilities, company President John Bryson was thrilled to receive the new wheel loader from Mitch Christenbury, his account manager of Carolina Cat, and credited him with understanding SCM’s specifications for the machines before taking delivery.

“Mitch has fostered his relationship with us so well that he knows exactly what we like on them — all the different things with which you can equip a 938,” Bryson said.

“He knows that small model’s size best suits a concrete batch plant operation. It's big enough, but not too big.”

Bryson elaborated on the synergy he enjoys with Christenbury by adding, “Sometimes if Mitch has a machine avail-

able that I could get prior to Cat building one for me, it might have a few things on it that I wouldn’t ask for. But knowing my specifications, he might have to add a few things that he knows I would want, such as a different seat or more lights for operating at night.

Regardless, we know each other well and I have grown to trust him.”

Soon after acquiring his first Cat 938s, Bryson recognized that the production and efficiency SCM gets from the loaders are perfectly suited to the concrete provider.

As an example of that, he said that SCM’s batch plants typically only need one Cat 938 with a bucket on it to feed aggregate into the plant to create the concrete mix.

The company normally operates the loader with a 3.5-cu.-yd. bucket, although it also uses some that can hold as much as 4.25 cu. yds. of material, Bryson said.

“Several of our plants have different-sized charge hoppers and we don’t want to get [a loader bucket] so large that it wouldn’t fit the hopper. What we use are plenty big enough to keep our plants going.”

(L-R) are John Bryson, president, Southern Concrete Materials; Mitch Christenbury, corporate account manager, Carolina Cat; and Jason Greene, vice president-western region Southern Concrete Materials.

Bryson noted that SCM’s parent company, Salisbury, N.C.-based Hedrick Industries — which celebrated its 100th anniversary in business in 2024, one year before Caterpillar — also is a construction aggregate supplier that primarily runs much larger machines than the Cat 938 and has deep roots with Carolina Cat, as well.

“So, for me to have the opportunity to get the Centennial edition of the Cat 938 we enjoy running was absolutely a no-brainer,” he said. “Jason Green, SCM’s vice president and western region manager, will have this loader operating at our Waynesville batch plant here today, and I'll be disappointed if that machine’s not still running for us 20 years from now because they are that good.”

SCM Leans On Carolina Cat for Service After Sale “In many cases, since the pandemic, much of SCM’s new equipment needs mechanical attention upon arrival,” Bryson said. “But we have not found that to be the case with Carolina Cat. When Jason brought in this new Centennial model, he put it to work immediately.”

And, he said, on those occasions when any of SCM’s Cat equipment needs service, its own mechanics can generally handle the job. For more complicated fixes or emergency repairs, though, Bryson does not hesitate to call the Asheville branch of Carolina Cat for assistance.

“We have learned that their service group in this area is very easy to work with, and we depend on them. If we need their help on a problem that we can’t work on ourselves, they’ll send someone out to us in a service truck. If not, we’ll carry our machine to their service location. We can’t operate the equipment unless we get good service after the sale.” see CAT page 85

he Calder family held the fifth annual “Echoes of Emma” event, Aug. 17-18, 2025, in memory of their daughter, Emma, who passed away in 2020.

Emma Calder, daughter of Dave and Sally Calder, passed away on Sept. 15, 2020. Emma’s dream was to go to Clemson University with her sisters.

Emma’s love for nature and desire to attend Clemson were honored, with the family grateful for the community’s support.

In memory of Emma, the family set up a scholarship fund with Clemson to allow students in need to achieve their dream of a college education. To support this scholarship, the fifth annual “Echoes of Emma” golf tournament was held Aug. 18; a silent auction was held the evening before.

The fundraising goal was high; everyone came together and supported the event. Both a morning and afternoon shotgun starts were held to accommodate all the players. More than 150 members of the community attended the silent auction fundraiser. The family was and continues to be overjoyed with everyone’s generosity and support.

“If you didn’t know Emma, she was 16 years old and a junior at Wade Hampton High School,” her family said. “She was funny, shy, tender-hearted, wild, untamable, smart and a million other things. She loved nature, animals and the earth, in general. She loved the ocean and wanted to become a marine biologist, maybe even move to Hawaii someday.”

Emma truly looked forward to being a Clemson Tiger.

“So many people wanted to help after the accident, and this scholarship gave the family a unique opportunity to channel this into something positive that can both honor Emma as well as help someone else,” said David Calder. “They truly believe that this is what Emma would have wanted. She was so kind and had an unmatched compassion and empathy for others.”

“Thank you all for your support in our efforts and for everyone helping us on this project,” said Carly, Ellie, David and Sally Calder. “Emma is always on our minds, and we want to share her memory and her kindness with as many people as we can.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2025 Construction Equipment Guide.

Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) successfully hosted its 2025 Leadership Conference Aug. 5–7 in Las Vegas, Nev., bringing together dealer professionals from across North America for three days of leadership development and high-impact networking.

Designed to strengthen leadership skills at all levels of the dealership, the conference delivered engaging, real-world sessions led by nationally recognized speakers and industry experts. From leadership strategies to practical tools for team management, attendees walked away equipped to lead with confidence, clarity and accountability.

“The future of our industry depends on strong, forwardthinking leaders,” said Brian P. McGuire, AED president and CEO. “The 2025 Leadership Conference was about more than training — it was about investing in people. By equipping our members with the tools to develop talent and inspire high-performing teams, we’re helping dealerships thrive today and preparing the next generation of leaders for tomorrow.”

Among the highlights of the conference was AI Mini Hackathon: Rapid Innovation in Real Time, a hands-on session led by Susan Frew that challenged participants to solve real business problems using AI tools, promoting innovation and collaboration.

In Leading Unbeatable Teams, former Navy SEAL Curt Cronin shared compelling lessons in alignment, trust and leadership drawn from his elite combat experience. In addition, Amy Parrish led an interactive session on The 4 Personality Styles, helping attendees improve communication by identifying and adapting to different personality traits within their teams. Attendees praised the conference for its engaging content and meaningful connections.

“I brought the team here because I believe in AED and what they are doing,” said attendee Joe Grady, vice president, Buck & Knobby Equipment Co. “A lot of my managers are new — so to hear different perspectives and be able to network with other dealers, I just think it’s a great growth opportunity for them. I think AED has a non-biased attitude where they bring the industry together, across all groups, and show how we can work collaboratively. AED hears the voice of its members — which is us — and tailors conferences to address the challenges we face.”

Equip Exposition Announces Winner of Equip Summer Shopping Spree Equip Exposition announced the winner of the Equip Summer Shopping Spree: Jonathan Piper, an arborist and owner of 7 Ways Lawn & Tree. Piper and his family founded the lawn service company, based in Monroeville, Pa., in 2018.

Piper will be awarded a $5,000 shopping spree to purchase the newest gear, tools and outdoor power equipment technology attendees see at the award-winning trade show.

Piper said attending Equip and its tree care education transformed his business and grew his connections within the industry.

“After a decade serving my community as a first responder, I started 7 Ways Lawn & Tree with the goal of providing the highest quality landscaping services,” said Piper.

“I started with only homeowner grade equipment and no knowledge of Equip or the community around it.

“During winter 2022, I attended a get together with some of the local landscapers who have become great friends, Equip Expo photo mentors and collabora- Jonathan Piper (R) and his tors. They talked about girlfriend of the past 14 Equip and suggested I years, Katie Foryt also attend. Later that fall, I came to Equip for the first time.

“I just started upgrading equipment and trying to find software, tools and classes to help me streamline and grow my business. I found all of that and more and was welcomed into an incredible community that I now look forward to meeting up with every year in October.

“From conversations with members of Davey Tree and The Davey Institute about techniques and best practices to discussions with engineering and product development teams from around the world, Equip has been an incredibly significant contributor to my success over the past three years.

“I look forward to meeting new faces at the show, live events and small meetups hosted by influencers during the week. I encourage everyone to use this time to ask questions, look for solutions and network with their fellow professionals in the greater landscaping community.”

Improving Efficiency in Construction Site Management In the dynamic world of road construction, Liebherr debuted a new free modeling assistance system, a technology, the company believes, is designed to improve efficiency in construction site management.

This solution allows machine operators to create and modify simple 3D site models directly from their Liebherr crawler cabins.

By integrating a GNSS machine control system with sensors and real-time data visualization, free modeling empowers operators to make informed decisions based on current site conditions.

The construction industry increasingly recognizes the importance of technology in enhancing efficiency and productivity. As projects become more complex and the demand for faster completion times grows, the need for solutions like free modeling becomes critical. This technology streamlines operations and enhances the overall quality of work, making it a valuable tool for contractors and operators alike, according to Liebherr.

Real-Time 3D Site Modeling One of the advantages of free modeling is its ability to facilitate real-time 3D site modeling. Operators can visualize projects in three dimensions, which streamlines the construction process and allows for immediate feedback on site conditions. This capability fosters a proactive approach to site management, ensuring that projects remain on track and within budget. By reducing reliance on dedicated site surveyors, free modeling saves time and reduces labor costs, increases job satisfaction and contributes to the overall success of construction projects by reducing the need for site surveyors, according to Liebherr.

The ability to create and modify 3D models on the fly enables operators to quickly adapt to changing site conditions.

Liebherr photo

The new Liebherr assistance system, free modeling, makes it possible to create and modify 3D models during operation in order to be able to react to changing site conditions.

For instance, if unexpected obstacles arise, operators can adjust their plans in real-time, minimizing delays and ensuring that the project stays on schedule. This flexibility is particularly valuable in road construction, where conditions can change rapidly due to weather, traffic or other unforeseen factors.

Accelerating Project Completion, Enhancing Accuracy Integrating free modeling into road construction operations significantly accelerates project completion times, according to

Liebherr.

By minimizing the time spent on planning and surveying, projects can move forward more quickly. The ability to create and modify site models directly from the machinery allows for rapid adjustments, ensuring that any changes in site conditions are addressed promptly. This increased efficiency translates to shorter project timelines, enabling contractors to take on more projects and improve their overall productivity.

In addition, free modeling enhances

According to Liebherr, free modeling enhances accuracy and ensures that machine operators always work with the most accurate data, improving the quality of their work and reducing costs.

accuracy by providing operators with realtime data, which reduces the likelihood of errors that can arise from miscommunication or outdated plans. This access to current site information ensures that operators are always working with the most accurate data, allowing them to make informed decisions that improve the quality of their work, according to Liebherr. In road construction, where even minor discrepancies can lead to significant issues, this level of precision is crucial.

The technology also promotes better collaboration among team members. With real-time data accessible to all stakeholders, including project managers, engineers and operators, everyone is on the same page.

This transparency fosters a collaborative environment where issues can be addressed quickly and solutions can be implemented efficiently.

Cost-Effectiveness, Operational Efficiency The cost-effectiveness of free modeling is another advantage. By reducing the need for dedicated site surveyors and minimizing instances of rework, construction companies can lower overall project expenses.

This technology optimizes resource allocation and minimizes waste, ultimately enhancing the profitability of projects, according to Liebherr. see LIEBHERR page 70

Balfour Beatty photo

Rendering of the Civil War museum in Fayetteville, N.C.

Balfour Beatty, in association with Varnedoe Construction, has broken ground on the final phase of The North Carolina History Center on Civil War, Emancipation and Reconstruction (The center).

Once complete, the 60,000-sq.-ft. facility located in Fayetteville’s Arsenal Park will serve as a transformative educational and cultural institution, telling the stories of all North Carolinians before, during and after the Civil War. Balfour Beatty has been selected to manage construction of the Center’s final phase, valued at $85 million and funded by the state of North Carolina, the city of Fayetteville, Cumberland county and private donors. This phase of construction includes the delivery of large-scale exhibit galleries and operational spaces designed by Vines Architecture and Eisterhold Associates.

The center is the culmination of a multi-phase development that began with the VanStory History Village and an outdoor educational pavilion.

Designed to house classrooms, an auditorium and interactive exhibits, the center will leverage resources from the UNC System, the Smithsonian Institution and community historians to present a comprehensive and inclusive narrative of the Civil War and its legacy.

“The Center is a meaningful addition to our public assembly portfolio in the Carolinas,” said Jeff Sandeen, president of Balfour Beatty in the Carolinas. “It’s a privilege to contribute to a project that will educate and inspire future generations.”

This project joins Balfour Beatty’s ongoing public assembly work including the Emanuel 9 Memorial project in Charleston, S.C. The Center project further demonstrates the company’s growing expertise in delivering highimpact public assembly spaces that honor history and foster community engagement The center is scheduled for completion Spring 2028 and will be operated by the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.

Ditch Witch JT21 Drill Slashes Job Times With Power, Speed HDD contractors can now more efficiently complete fiber and other underground utility jobs with the new JT21 directional drill from Ditch Witch.

An upgraded replacement for the JT20, the JT21 delivers up to 40 percent more downhole horsepower than its predecessor and 35 percent faster carriage speed than any drill in its class, empowering crews to work more effectively, increasing ROI. The JT21 features 21,000 lbs. of pullback, 20,000 lbs. of thrust and 2,250 ft.-lbs. of torque, allowing crews to complete installations at a faster pace in a variety of soil conditions. Also, a new design and lower center of gravity increases stability, according to the manufacturer.

“Any operator who puts the JT21 drill to work will quickly see why it’s the most powerful drill in its class,”

said Britton Yunker, HDD product manager of Ditch Witch. “But it’s not sheer power alone that sets the JT21 drill apart from other drills in its class. It also incorporates several productivity-boosting enhancements, making it an ideal choice for contractors whether they’re looking to replace an aging drill or make crews more effective.”

Among the JT21 features that help boost productivity and ease operations are: • Improved hydraulic efficiencies and a direct-drive rotation motor delivering more downhole horsepower.

• Virtually Assisted Make-up (VAM) technology provides software-driven make-up and breakout of pipe to simplify operators’ jobs and help prevent pipe-thread damage to extend pipe longevity.

• A proven pipe-loading system provides the horizon-

tal-style pipe loading customers asked for and helps optimize efficiency and uptime on job sites.

• An enhanced operator station provides a common display with other HDD platforms and multi-mode joysticks that allow operators choose their preferred control style, minimizing training needs across multiple platforms.

• Advanced telematics give operators access to a wide range of drill health and operating parameters, helping them make quick, informed decisions while improving overall jobsite management and reducing maintenance.

• A larger displacement pump, generating 35 gpm and running at a lower rpm, increases the life of the pump and wearables.

4. Choose the Right Fuel

Fuel type is another important consideration for commercial and industrial generators. The three most common options are diesel, natural gas and propane, each with its own advantages: • Diesel: On-site fuel storage, generally lower cost per kW (depending on emissions requirements), but higher fuel costs and emissions. Fuel must be delivered during extended outages.

• Natural Gas: Cleaner emissions, lower fuel costs and readily available if a gas line exists. Generators typically have a higher upfront cost, and new gas line installation may add expenses.

• Propane: On-site storage, relatively clean emissions and often lower fuel costs than diesel. Like diesel, fuel must be delivered during long outages and per kW costs tend to be higher.

Each site has unique needs, so weigh the pros and cons carefully before deciding.

Power With Confidence The right generator sizing ensures optimal performance, protects your investment and supports future growth. For expert advice tailored to your specific application, reach out to your HIPOWER sales or support team. 

Leica DS4000 Reveals Previously Undetectable Utility Assets Leica Geosystems announced the launch of the Leica DS4000.

This utility detection system can identify underground assets up to 60 percent deeper than traditional systems, according to Leica. By integrating IDS GeoRadar’s patented equalized scrambling technology (EsT), it detects underground utilities more clearly at both shallow and deeper levels. It even reveals smaller objects that could have been missed before, such as fiber optic cables, according to Leica.

Beneath the ground lies a tangled network of cables and pipes.

Uncertainty in Supply Chain, Material Costs Is Nothing New

Project deadlines missed because of supply-chain issues can mean not only lost profits but broken contracts and fractious business relationships.

SUPPLY from page 1

equipment rental and staging to subcontractor assignments and jobsite security. Here’s how to ease the headaches when supply-chain issues crop up.

“What once seemed like temporary disruptions have become a persistent reality,” said attorney William Blasses about today’s construction logistics process. “Meticulous planning can be undone overnight by a single supplier’s inability to deliver.”

In this environment, said Blasses, with Kerr, Russell and Weber PLC, the standard contract is either a safeguard or a liability.

In a post on the website of the National Association of Surety Bond Producers (NASBP), he talked about logistics strategies.

It All Begins at Contract Stage “Proactively embedding resilience into these agreements is no longer just a legal formality but a core business strategy,” he said. “By tailoring key clauses to their needs, companies can better insulate themselves from costly volatility.”

Blasses urges clients to consider the foundation of any agreement — clarity — before examining specific clauses.

Contracts riddled with ambiguous terms, he said, are invitations for future disputes because each party will interpret subjective terms advantageously.

“A truly defensive contract systematically replaces such ambiguity with objective, measurable standards,” said Blasses. “This precision is the bedrock of an enforceable and reliable agreement.”

Setting boundaries and expectations for both parties, reinforces the business relationship and avoids the potential to deteriorate it over time, said Blasses.

Market volatility spells price fluctuations in key construction materials, cautions tax and accounting firm RSM. Supply-chain digitalization and scenario planning are “no longer aspirational; they are essential,” said business advisors with the organization.

“Forward-thinking construction leaders are responding proactively,” said Mac Carroll, real estate industry analyst.

They ask the right questions and invest in strategies that build resilience.

RSM clients’ biggest question is how to prepare for potential cost increases.

A focus on forecasting, communication and relationships will get contractors through the challenges, believes Joe Barbalaco, a management consulting manager. He advises clients to run a sensitivity analysis on current and upcoming projects to assess how margin would shift with changes in key Adobe Stock photo material prices.

Contractors should consider clarity the foundation of contracts and Barbalaco gives clients a list of steps they can build resilience into agreements to lessen the blow from sudden materials take now: price changes and delivery delays.

R. Ashby Templeton Paving of Lynchburg, Va., Succeeds Through Relationships, Trust The relationship between a construction company and the dealerships with which it does business can only succeed if the former trusts the latter to give it friendly, expert advice and service and respond to its needs quickly.

That is especially important for small contracting firms, which must rely on their primary dealers to tailor the right equipment for their modest budgets.

In addition, small contractors generally do not have large numbers of machines, so when one paver or dozer goes down on a job site, it is possible the company must stop the work altogether until its equipment dealer’s service people can send a technician out to fix it.

That is when the phrase “time is money” becomes painfully clear to a construction company owner.

Darrell Templeton is the operator of R. Ashby Templeton Paving in Lynchburg, Va. His company was started 54 years ago by his father, Ashby, and has been the younger Templeton’s full-time place of business for the past 44 years.

The contracting company, which employs a single crew to asphalt and surface treat roads, driveways and parking lots, has worked on projects large and small across much of central Virginia.

Templeton said his paving company is small because he prefers it that way.

“I really enjoy this type of work,” he said from a job site where he and his crew were repairing a private road leading to a house. “I don't like the stress that sometimes comes with it, but as far as running equipment, it is something I love. When I retire, I can look back and be satisfied with what we accomplished.”

Welspun’s Expansion Adds Capacity, Increases Barge, Rail, Truck Traffic

2350 Greystone Ct. Rockville, VA 23146 (804) 359-4048

WELSPUN from page 1

Construction of the nearly 400,000 sq.-ft. welding plant is part of a total $300 million investment in the facility since it was established in 2007. The project involves inclusion of pipe sizes up to 24-in. outside diameter and 0.750-in. wall thickness. The pipe is extremely heavy and is transported either on flatbed trailers or flatbed rail cars.

The expansion and added capacity will increase the volume of barge, rail and truck. This will result in extra revenue for the Port of Little Rock and improve local infrastructure.

The new plant should be operational in early 2026, and while much work remains, progress is already evident.

“We have started construction for the foundations, are performing excavation work and auger piles are next,” said Patel. “Also, there’s a lot of concrete to be poured – about 23,000 to 25,000 cubic yards. The dirt being moved around is roughly 175,000 to 200,000 cubic yards.”

Construction equipment on site includes cranes, excavators and telescopic handlers.

“Some of our foundations are 40 to 50 feet deep, 150 feet wide and 300 to 400 feet in length, so we are also using huge dozers and compactors.”

Patel noted the only real challenge for crews so far has been unforeseen weather issues.

“Overall, it has been pretty good, except for the recent storms and tornadoes we had [this spring]. There were a couple of rough days.”

Patel noted the construction crews on site are experienced and professional.

“We’re in very good hands with our contractors. We’ve worked with them in the past, in 2007 and 2013. We think of them more as partners.”

The first major contractor, one of the biggest in the state, is McGeorge Contracting Company. The other is Bowman Works Inc. The site selection was announced by representatives of the worldwide pipe manufacturer, along with Arkansas Economic Development Commission officials and the Little Rock Regional Chamber.

Iowa DOT Unveils One-Man Pothole Filling Machine Earlier this year, the Iowa Department of Transportation (Iowa DOT) purchased the state’s first self-contained pothole filling truck — a more efficient and safer option for fixing potholes on state roadways.

Operated by a single individual, the Cimline Durapatcher — currently deployed in Iowa DOT’s District 4, based in

Council Bluffs and in District 1, based in Ames — this selfcontained vehicle mixes and applies emulsion in a fraction of the time with a fraction of the labor.

More importantly, it is safer than the current pothole-filling method, which requires a dump truck and a trailermounted hopper to be followed by two or three staff to spread the material with shovels and compaction tools by hand — all while exposed to traffic.

After a tragic I-80 work zone crash that killed Matt Dickerson, an Iowa DOT District 4 staff member, near Council Bluffs in 2024, the agency’s field staff and leadership have sought out safer ways to accomplish routine work like pothole patching.

“The ability to remove staff from the operation takes more employees off the road … to do different tasks for the day. It also increases safety by putting one operator in a protected truck cab that protects them,” said Cory Kirkpatrick, maintenance supervisor for Iowa DOT’s DeSoto/Perry garage, in a blog post.

“With no staff on the roadway and faster filling, this truck also reduces the disruption to the public, so we’re able to provide a higher level of service to our customers.”

The agency said the Cimline Durapatcher pothole patching machine preps and installs a patch in minutes without the need for comIowa DOT photo paction. The truck chassis houses a hopper to The Cimline Durapatcher — currently deployed in Iowa DOT’s District 4, based in Council Bluffs, and in Iowa DOT photo hold the supply of rock chips and a 300-gal.

District 1, based in Ames — is operated by a single This self-contained vehicle mixes and applies emulsion in a fraction heated oil tank that together produce enough individual. of the time with a fraction of the labor. product to apply approximately 10 tons of patch material.

Inside the cab, the operator uses a joystick to control mixing and pump the oil — known as emulsion — and rock material forward to a hydraulic arm and nozzle in the front of the unit. When the Durapatcher approaches a pothole, the operator can activate a compressor to clear debris and water.

The next step is to spray the emulsion to fully coat the inside of the pothole, followed by the application of a rock and emulsion mixture.

“We’re looking for a salt and pepper look with the black emulsion oil and the light-colored rock,” said Matt Conaway of the DeSoto Maintenance garage. “Then we’re adding another layer of clean rock over the top to protect the public’s vehicles from the oil.”

As Iowa DOT’s maintenance shops continue to learn more about operating the new system, the agency said reviews of the new pothole filling machine are positive as staff find the new technology to be more streamlined than the conventional dump truck and trailer method.

Iowa DOT added that staff report that the system is “instinctive” to new operators and allows them to get closer to the pothole to see where levelling is needed to provide a better Iowa DOT photo seal and more comfortable ride for the public.

Busy Intersection in Lynchburg, Va., Likely to Get Major Upgrade in 2029 Engineers have hit the ground running in their efforts to redesign Lynchburg, Va.’s most congested intersection, while also trying to keep pace as inflation raises construction costs and urban development increases traffic.

The project will divide U.S. Highway 501 into a split pair of northbound and southbound roadways at its intersection with U.S. 221 west of downtown.

Its proposed design will increase capacity and reduce delays by spreading traffic across two intersections instead of concentrating it at the current single junction, Lynchburg City Engineer Lee Newland told Cardinal News, a Southside Virginia online news site.

The design process, led by McCormick Taylor Inc., a Philadelphia-based consulting engineering firm, has been a long time coming, he said. Lynchburg municipal leaders have been discussing the need for the overhaul since at least 2008.

Initial progress was made in 2018 with a different engineering firm before the city canceled its contract with the company in 2023, Newland noted. He added that Lynchburg had an overall “loss of confidence” in the previous outfit when it became apparent it could not stay on track to finish the road project during the city’s designated timeline.

The estimated cost of the U.S. 501/U.S. 221 construction project is $93.6 million. While that calculation takes projected inflation into account, Newland said it will likely rise again before crews break ground in the spring of 2029.

The total price tag includes approximately $10 million for the land at the construction site. The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) acquired the properties in the 1980s and ‘90s before the parcels were transferred to the city at no cost in 2009.

The City of Lynchburg is the biggest financial contributor to the improvement effort as it is providing approximately $51 million — $10 million of which is being matched by the state in a revenue-sharing fund.

The remainder of the cost is covered by a $30 million Smart Scale grant issued by VDOT, and a $2.7 million award from the state’s priority transportation fund, according to Newland. He also hopes to secure a federal Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant, which could be worth up to $25 million, in the 2026 application season.

Lynchburg’s public works officials applied for the BUILD grant the past two years but were turned down each time, Cardinal News noted.

In a highly competitive program like BUILD, Newland said that submitting the application can feel like a long shot as the federal program distributed only 30 grants nationwide in Fiscal Year 2025, which ended June 30.

Initial Price Tag Skyrockets The cost of the proposed Lynchburg highway intersection upgrade has more than doubled since it was first calculated in 2018, he said. The initial $38.5 million price tag skyrocketed in 2021 with pandemic-related inflation and has remained high with rising costs on everything from materials to labor.

Gaynelle Hart, Lynchburg’s director of public works, said that those costs also increased because a bridge was added to the original design that will carry the new northbound stretch of U.S. 501 over Old Forest Road before connecting to the Desmond T. Doss Expressway.

City engineers decided the bridge was needed to prepare for projected traffic increases by giving vehicles more space to spread out at the intersection, noted Newland.

Hart said that other than the addition of the U.S. 501 overpass, the entire project’s designs are almost identical to the original 2018 plans. Engineers are only making small adjustments to elements such as stormwater flow, retaining wall placement and curvature and grade measurements.

Until the road and bridge construction starts in four years, Hart explained that engineers will continue finalizing the project’s designs and work to meet federal construction guidelines — both of which are slow processes that require patience, he said.

If all goes as planned, the major intersection improvement should conclude in 2031, according to McCormick Taylor’s website.

Retail, Employment Growth Fuels Congestion In describing the need for an upgrade to the U.S. 501/U.S. 221 intersection, Newland said about 65,000 vehicles pass through the junction every day. As a result, it is the most congested intersection in Lynchburg, ahead of a stretch of Candlers Mountain Road that sees about 45,000 cars daily.

The construction plans are based on traffic projections from a 2018 study, he added. That year, about 58,000 vehicles routinely passed through the intersection.

The study forecasted steady growth in traffic every year from 2018 through the following two decades, leading to 78,000 vehicles predicted to daily pass through the intersection by 2035.

Newland explained that the split pair plan is being designed with the 2035 projection in mind, Cardinal News noted. In addition, he does not anticipate growth exceeding the predictions, especially because the estimates have matched observed traffic increases in the seven years since the study was finished.

“We can only grow so much,” he said. “Avoiding engineering terms here, traffic is a lot like water. It finds its easiest path.”

The increasing road congestion is due to retail and employment growth in the area surrounding the intersection, insisted Marjette Upshur, director of the city’s economic development and tourism office.

She explained that Lynchburg is an employment hub for nearby rural and residential areas, which means thousands of workers pass through the central intersection on their way to and from home in places like Bedford County, and the communities of Forest, to the southwest of Lynchburg, and Boonsboro, north of the city.

Upshur’s office is expecting even more job growth at Ivy Creek Innovation Park, an industrial park nestled in the northwest corner of the busy U.S. 501/U.S. 221 intersection.

In August 2025, the city received $4 million for additional Ivy Creek development from the Virginia Business Ready Sites Program. That funding is enough to add two more sites to the industrial park that is already home to employment powerhouses like Frito Lay, BWXT Advanced Technologies and NovaTech.

A smooth and efficient intersection will be key to inviting new businesses to fill the open spots, she added.

“If you don’t have easy travel access, businesses won’t even look at you,” said Upshur. 

Diversifying, Collaborating With Partners Proves Beneficial SUPPLY from page 46

• Ask suppliers for their forecasts on material input prices that could impact upcoming projects.

• Lock in long-term contracts with suppliers, where applicable, to purchase materials at prices that your margin can bear today.

• Diversify the procurement function through relationships and forecasting with multiple suppliers, including local and regional suppliers.

• Review inventory management strategies and revisit escalation clauses in current agreements to manage volatility and spread its impact.

• Communicate with subcontractors to understand the pressures they are facing and how they are managing them; identify hurdles you can overcome together.

• Talk to your bank to secure and protect funding capacity, such as lines of credit, to enable your firm to deal with surprises.

• Connect with your accounting firm and bonding company about the balance sheet and run best-case and worstcase scenarios to prepare for a variety of outcomes.

“Contractors should be proactive in managing price increases and communicating with owners and subcontractors,” said Barbalaco. “Uncertainty surrounding material prices and material availability is not new to contractors who survived the COVID-19 pandemic and in many cases thrived.”

The lessons learned from price escalation clauses during the pandemic have contractors reviewing, revisiting and building on those provisions, noted RSM. David Luker, a risk consulting partner, recommends contract provisions for material price fluctuations as incentive for both project owner and contractor.

“One approach is to establish a material price escalation fund, which would release funds to contractors in documented cases of price increases,” he said.

A material price escalation fund also returns funds to the owner when prices remain stable or decline, functioning like an allowance or contingency account.

Harnessing Data for Better Business Footing RSM advisors said clients leveraging technology to harness internal and external data are better positioned to navigate uncertainty.

They ask construction leaders to consider which projects, teams or clients are performing best, and where client organizations can create the most value.

Barbalaco believes an enterprise resource planning system and project management software that align seamlessly with business needs are essential. With the most efficient software solution, tracking inflows, outflows and true project profitability are at a construction executive’s fingertips.

“The right solution depends on your firm’s size and complexity; however, the key is to maximize the value of whatever system you choose,” said Barbalaco.

“Equally important is having strong data governance in place to ensure that data is accurate, consistent and accessible across systems and teams,” he said. “Without a clear data governance framework, contractors risk making decisions based on incomplete or conflicting information.”

This can happen especially when dealing with multiple projects and external providers, added Barbalaco.

Grace Ellis, content manager of Autodesk, said the key for contractors to stay ahead of the supply chain game is to keep up with trends. Following supply-chain trends will

Incentivized contract provisions for material price fluctuations or a material price escalation fund is one solution when supply-chain challenges threaten a construction contract.

help you identify opportunities and action steps for your teams and projects, she said in a blog post.

Start by focusing on planning with accurate forecasts, she urges Autodesk clients.

“Costs tend to fluctuate when the supply chain is tight, so it is essential to plan and forecast appropriately,” said Ellis.

Pay attention to events that may affect the supplies you need and factor those in when planning your budget and forecasts.

“It also helps to adopt solutions that make it easy to amend costs and bids,” she said.

A cloud-based platform enables all stakeholders to collaborate in real time so when prices fluctuate everyone can see changes and adjust accordingly.

Choose the right partners, advised Ellis, adding that for successful supply-chain management, multiple parties need to work well together. That includes suppliers, contractors and subs.

“For this reason, you must select the right construction partners for your project,” she said.

Evaluate potential suppliers and partners by looking at the quality of their goods or services, particularly amidst recent supply chain challenges.

“Ask for references and consider their post-sale terms,” said Ellis. And use a supplier management system to review and track vendor information.

“Some solutions allow you to input your supplier requirements and standards, so potential vendors or partners can determine if they are a good fit,” she added.

Create clear communication processes to avoid issues and ensure everyone can relay information efficiently, the content manager advised.

The specific process will depend on your project and team, said Ellis, but should include: • Status and availability of materials. Pay attention to any goods or supplies you need for the project and where they are in the supply chain, she said. Look at the materials in the pipeline and determine whether everything is on track.

• Potential or predicted issues. Instill a forward-thinking mindset in your partners to empower them to foresee potential mishaps. “Brainstorm solutions with your vendors and

contractors, then produce action steps if things go differently than planned,” she advised.

• Changes in pricing or lead times. “You will want to know about price changes and delays sooner rather than later,” said Ellis. It’s crucial to make sure these are brought to your attention ASAP, then work with stakeholders to change course when needed.

• Invest in the right tools. Autodesk preaches to clients that technology is not a magic fix for all supply-chain issues but can improve efficiency and reduce risk. “Cloud-based construction management solutions enable teams to work smarter and have a better handle on all materials needed for a project,” said Ellis.

• Better insights into supply product information and pricing. “Modern construction platforms can connect to suppliers for real-time quotes and pricing data,” she said.

“In a rapidly changing environment, having updated info is critical for putting together accurate budgets, quotes and bids.”

• Improve collaboration and communication between teams. Using the right construction solution makes staying connected with your team immensely easier, believes the Autodesk content manager. With it, stakeholders can collaborate on a single platform, so supply chain updates, issues and action steps are raised and resolved quickly.

• Integrated supply chain workflows. Connected construction solutions enable the user to capture data in the field, which can then be synced with other applications.

These integrations speed up admin and procurement tasks, saving time and lowering unnecessary costs, said Ellis.

• Streamlined payments and billing processes.

“Connected construction also simplifies payment- and billing-related workflows,” by enabling subcontractors to digitally submit pay applications. From there the processes will route those requests to project managers for prompt approval. “Modern tools can let you and your subcontractors track payment status online, reducing the need for back-and-forth conversations,” said Ellis. She believes improving supply-chain systems takes time and money, but offers an organization more transparency, tighter cost control and ultimately more work.  CEG

Liebherr Debuts Free Modeling to Enhance Accuracy, Quality LIEBHERR from page 24

In addition to improving operational efficiency, free modeling significantly enhances comfort on construction sites. By providing operators with a clear understanding of site conditions, the system allows for betterinformed decisions, which can lead to a more relaxed and confident working environment, said Liebherr.

Comfort is further enhanced by the ergonomic design of the machinery and the user-friendly interface of free modeling.

Operators can work for extended periods without experiencing fatigue, as the controls are designed to be intuitive and responsive. This focus on operator comfort not only improves productivity but also contributes to job satisfaction, as operators feel more in control and less stressed while managing complex tasks, according to Liebherr.

In addition, the reduction in labor costs associated with free modeling can be substantial. With operators able to perform tasks that would typically require additional personnel, companies can allocate their resources more effectively. This not only leads to cost savings but also allows for a more streamlined workforce, reducing the complexity of project management, according to Liebherr.

User-Friendly Interface: Key to Success Liebherr has prioritized creating an interface that allows operators to navigate the system with ease, the company said. This focus on user experience ensures that operators can quickly adapt to the technology without extensive training, making it accessible to a broader range of users.

The interface is designed to be straightforward, featuring clear visualizations and controls. Operators can switch between different views, zoom in on specific areas and manipulate the 3D models with simple gestures.

This ease of use is particularly beneficial in high-pressure environments like road construction, where time is of the essence, and quick decisions are often required, according to Liebherr.

Training programs are designed to familiarize operators with the system, emphasizing hands-on experience and practical applications.

Commitment to Sustainability Sustainability also is a key focus of free modeling. The ability to optimize site operations in real-time contributes to more environmentally friendly practices. By improving resource management and

reducing waste, free modeling allows for better planning and execution, minimizing the environmental impact of road construction projects. This commitment to sustainability not only meets regulatory requirements but also enhances the reputation of construction companies in the industry, according to Liebherr.

In addition, the ability to visualize projects in 3D allows for better planning of resource use. Operators can identify potential issues before they arise, leading to more efficient use of materials and reducing the likelihood of costly mistakes. This proactive approach not only benefits the environment but also enhances the overall efficiency of construction projects.

Versatility Across Projects The versatility of free modeling is evident in its adaptability to various types of construction projects, from residential buildings to large infrastructure developments.

Whether working on a small road repair or a major highway construction project, free modeling provides the flexibility needed to meet the unique demands of each job. This adaptability ensures that construction companies can leverage the benefits of free modeling across a wide range of applications, maximizing their investment in this

innovative technology, according to Liebherr.

For instance, in urban environments where space is limited, the ability to create accurate 3D models can help operators navigate complex site conditions more effectively. This capability is invaluable in ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget, even in challenging environments.

Future Is Today In conclusion, free modeling represents a significant advancement in road construction management, offering a host of benefits that enhance efficiency, accuracy and cost-effectiveness. By empowering operators with real-time 3D modeling capabilities and providing a user-friendly interface, Liebherr has created a solution that transforms the way construction projects are managed, according to Liebherr.

As the construction landscape continues to evolve, innovations like free modeling will play a crucial role in shaping the future of the industry. Embracing these advancements allows construction companies to improve their operations, enhance their competitiveness and ultimately deliver better results for their clients. 

Apex Abatement and Demolition LLC announced the release of an AI-powered instant demolition budget calculator.

The free online tool provides fast, rough cost estimates for commercial and residential demolition projects, helping contractors, property owners and developers plan more efficiently.

The calculator uses artificial intelligence to generate a budget based on pictures, project size, structure type and other basic inputs. While the tool does not replace a formal estimate, it offers valuable insight into project costs at the planning stage, saving time and reducing guesswork.

“We built this tool because clients often ask us for quick ballpark numbers,” said Robert Sullivan, owner of Apex Abatement and Demolition LLC. “With this calculator, they don’t have to wait for a call back — they can explore costs right away, then follow up for a formal quote.”

The Instant Demolition Budget Calculator is accessible now at apexabatement.-com/instant-demolition-budget-calculator.

The tool is designed for ease of use on desktop and mobile devices, and no login or personal information is required to get started. 

RB Global Announces Leadership Changes, Appointments RB Global Inc. announced leadership changes and senior management appointments, effective Sep. 1, 2025, to position the company for accelerated and consistent growth.

“Since becoming CEO, I’ve been laserfocused on setting the right foundation for our growth for another 50-plus years,” said Jim Kessler, chief executive officer of RB Global. “With this go-forward structure, our teams are set up to focus on big-picture strategy and efficiency, while also strengthening how we can deliver on our commitments to each marketplace’s unique needs. We’re making it even easier for our partners to do business with us, helping them succeed and setting ourselves up for strong, sustainable growth.”

RB Global’s senior leadership teams will provide strategic oversight, efficient scaling and promote best practice with functional support teams at the enterprise level, while two specialized, high-performing marketplace execution teams spearhead the go-tomarket level. Keeping its go-to-market leadership close to customers and the verticals they operate in helps to maximize the speed and efficiency with which buyers and sellers can do business on the company’s platforms, add value for its partners and position the company for a strong future, according to RB Global.

Specialized Marketplace Leadership Teams Carmen Thiede, chief transformation officer and chief of staff to the CEO, will begin her transition into retirement, following two years of focus on critical integration work to help unlock the full value of the Ritchie Bros. and IAA businesses under RB Global.

During this transition, Thiede will serve as a coach and advisor to the go-to-market lead-

RB Global logo

ers, using her expertise to help ensure a smooth handoff and continued momentum.

Under the new operating model, each marketplace will leverage the unified executive leadership team to set enterprise-wide vision, growth strategy and operational discipline, while empowering brand-specific go-to-market teams to drive execution tailored to their unique marketplaces. The goto-market sales leaders — both of whom have been instrumental in driving performance alongside prior leadership — are already deeply embedded in their teams, strategies and relationships.

Their proven expertise and continuity of leadership will help to ensure a smooth transition and position the business for growth in this next chapter, as Jeff Jeter, chief revenue officer, begins his transition toward retirement and serves as a strategic advisor for the go-to-market leaders.

The Ritchie Bros. go-to-market teams will be led by Jake Lawson, president and head of Ritchie Bros. North America sales, and Shiv Dutt, who has joined RB Global as executive vice president and head of Ritchie Bros. Marketplace. As leaders of the Ritchie Bros. business, Lawson and Dutt will work closely with Steve Steinberg, senior vice president and head of strategic management and decision support, to drive gross transaction value growth within the Ritchie Bros. marketplace. Doug Rusch, executive vice president and head of strategic accounts and

rouse in North America will continue in his current role, reporting to Lawson.

IAA’s go-to-market teams will be led by Sam Wyant, executive vice president and head of IAA North America sales, and David Rymarz, who will assume an expanded role as senior vice president and head of IAA Marketplace.

“In addition to forming and deepening relationships by delivering on commitments, these teams will use data to guide decisions, make sure we’re meeting our goals, put our time and money where they’ll have the most impact and track our progress so our partners get the full value out of our new way of working,” Kessler said. “We will continue to aim to overdeliver on our commitments to our partners, and provide them with the industry-leading platform to buy and sell assets in the verticals that we operate in.”

Realignment, Centralization of Enterprise Support Functions Randy Berry, executive vice president and head of IAA Operations, will be transitioning into retirement. Steve Lewis, chief operations officer, will take on the responsibility of overseeing IAA’s operations in addition to his current responsibilities. As part of RB Global’s commitment to operational excellence, the technology team, led by Nancy King, chief technology officer, also will now report to Lewis in his expanded role, helping

to ensure platform enhancements are tied directly to operational priorities. Karl Werner, chief business development officer, will continue in his role leading the IAA International businesses, reporting to Lewis.

As part of the new organizational structure and priorities for the company, Eric Guerin, chief financial officer, will assume an expanded role in addition to his current responsibilities, now also leading global mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and corporate development efforts, which will continue to report through Werner.

Christopher Carlson, currently senior vice president, global controller, will become chief accounting officer, and Darren Watt, chief legal officer, will report to Guerin, helping to strengthen the connection between financial oversight and legal and regulatory compliance, including the environmental, social and governance (ESG) reporting team.

Drew Fesler, chief people officer, will be transitioning into retirement. Jen Schmit, currently executive vice president, global HR, will step into the role chief people officer and lead the company’s global talent strategies following Fesler’s transition.

“We’re evolving our already strong leadership position to emphasize sharper focus, faster decision-making and stronger collaboration,” Kessler said. “We’re grateful to the leaders who are retiring for their many contributions in building the foundation we stand on today. Going forward, our next generation of leaders knows exactly what to focus on, how their strategies will drive consistent growth and how to guide their teams to move with speed and unity — delivering greater impact for our partners and for the future of RB Global.”

CGA Launches New PSA About Damage Prevention for 8/11 Common Ground Alliance (CGA), the national association working to prevent damage to underground infrastructure, released a new radio PSA to highlight the importance of contacting 811 before beginning digging projects.

Nearly 200,000 times each year, buried power, water, internet, natural gas and other utility lines are damaged by digging, costing the United States $30 billion annually.

The 30-second spot entitled “Problem” features a homeowner and contractor discussing the construction of a new deck, the contractor’s failure to contact 811 beforehand and the sound of a struck utility line. CGA President and CEO Sarah K. Magruder Lyle reminds listeners what’s at stake — communities, property and lives — and encourages listeners to visit 811beforeyoudig.com to find their state 811 one-call center.

The PSA will be distributed to radio stations nation-

wide beginning today, and also will be available on streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube

CGA logo

Music, Pandora and others. The spot was specifically released today, Aug. 11, to mark National 8/11 Day — the national awareness campaign day that reminds Americans to contact 811 before digging.

“Nearly 200,000 times each year, the buried utilities upon which all Americans rely are damaged through digging by homeowners, contractors and others,” said Sarah K. Magruder Lyle, CGA president and CEO. “This year, we’re taking to the airwaves to remind everyone that contacting 811 before digging is free, easy and in many places, it’s the law. On 8/11 Day and every day, those three simple numbers can help prevent utility outages, community disruptions, injuries and worse.
