FDOT’s $95.7M I-95 Interchange Nears End Halley Engineering Contractors Inc. is in the fourth year of construction on the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) $95.78 million State Road (S.R.) 9/I95 at S.R. 606/Oslo Road New Interchange and S.R. 606/Oslo Road widening project in Indian River County, Fla. The project includes a new interchange at I-95 and Oslo Road, widening S.R. 606/Oslo Road from two lanes to four divided lanes, replacement of the existing Oslo Road bridge over I-95, drainage and utility improvements and new pedestrian and bicycle facilities. Construction began Aug. 14, 2023, under a contract extending into 2027, but Halley Engineering is targeting completion before the end of 2026, according to FDOT. The work covers approximately 1.41 mi. of I-95 north and south of Oslo Road, 3.7 mi. of S.R. 606/Oslo Road from 0.5 mi. west of I-95 to 58th Avenue and 1.06 mi. of County Road (C.R.) 609/82nd Avenue from Oslo Road to 1 mi. north. The new interchange will provide a direct connection between southern Indian River County and I-95 while improving traffic flow, safety and freight mobility. S.R. 606/Oslo Road is a designated truck route serving the southern portion of the county. “The project is a major infrastructure improvement for FDOT, Indian River County and the community,” Samantha Kayser, community outreach specialist, told Construction Equipment Guide. “The project enhances safety, improves traffic flow and strengthens regional connectivity and access throughout Indian River County and FDOT District 4.” Irwin Rapoport

Better Safe Than Sorry
Risks of Minimal Insurance Can Wipe Out Good Construction Businesses With One Incident For a small construction contractor, a single catastrophic loss — a defective job, equipment collision or employee injury — can quickly surpass total liability insurance limits. The risk of underinsuring a company, especially when construction costs and labor shortages are at an all-time high, can easily devastate a contractor and force him or her to shut the business doors.

ARTBA Honors DOTs, Contractors for Hurricane Recovery Transportation officials from Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee were honored for extraordinary leadership, resilience and dedication to reconnecting communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. The organizations and their employees were recognized by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) during the group’s annual convention in Kohler, Wis., and presented with the ARTBA Award. Honorees include the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) and Florida Transportation Builders’ Association; Georgia DOT and the Georgia Highway Contractors Association; North and South Carolina DOTs and Carolinas AGC; and the Tennessee DOT and Tennessee Road Builders Association. “In moments of crisis, the importance of transportation infrastructure becomes unmistakably clear,” said ARTBA CEO Dave Bauer. “The men and women who worked quickly and collaboratively to rebuild infrastructure following Helene remind us of the vital role transportation professionals play in connecting, restoring and sustaining American communities.” Helene, which made landfall two years ago, is the most destructive storm since Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. Helene’s devastating floods, wind and landslides affected large portions of the southeastern United States and southern Appalachia, wiping out infrastructure and taking 250 lives. Within hours of the storm’s passage, each state deployed thousands of workers to restore access to communities cut off from critical resources. In Tennessee, where 49

road segments were destroyed, crews logged 90,000 labor hours in the first few days alone. North Carolina mobilized 2,000 transportation workers to reopen access across a region where more than 1,400 roads were closed,ultimately repairing or replacing 270 bridges and 870 culverts within the first six months. In Florida, 800 crew members cleared 12,300 miles of roadway within days, including 61 crews that reopened I-10 in less than six hours. South Carolina reopened 859 of its 900 damaged bridges within a month.
Meanwhile, in Georgia, 2,000 GDOT employees, more than half the agency’s workforce, removed 4.8 million cubic yards of debris from 35 sites. The ARTBA Award recognizes outstanding contributions that advance the association’s broad goals. Past recipients include a U.S. president, governors, more than 25 members of Congress, two U.S. secretaries of transportation and dozens of senior leaders from government and the privatesector transportation construction industry.
USF Breaks Ground On $500M Uptown Landing Development The University of South Florida has broken ground on Uptown Landing, a nearly $500 million mixed-use development that will transform approximately 30 acres of the university’s Tampa campus into a new district featuring student housing, retail, dining, hospitality and academic research facilities. According to a USF press release, the Sept. 8 groundbreaking marked the start of construction on the first phase of the project, which was previously known as the Fletcher District. Located north of Fletcher Avenue and east of North 46th Street, Uptown Landing is being developed through a public-private partnership that USF describes as the largest public-private partnership project in the history of Florida’s State University System. The development also will be within walking distance of USF’s new on-campus football stadium, which is under construction. “Uptown Landing is much more than a new neighborhood. This will be a destination anchored by USF, but created for the entire community,” USF President Moez Limayem said, according to the university’s press release. The first phase will include approximately 350,000 sq. ft. of undergraduate student
housing with 700 beds. Each bedroom will have a private bathroom, according to USF. The project also will feature approximately 60,000 sq. ft. of retail and dining space, including four to six restaurants. A 78,000-sq.-ft., 150-room full-service hotel will include approximately 5,000 sq. ft. of conference space. The development also will include approximately 190,000 sq. ft. of affiliate housing with 150 apartments for graduate students, university employees, affiliates and lifelong learners. The largest individual building will be the approximately 350,000-sq.-ft. According to USF, the facility will provide space for approximately 100 National Institutes of Health-funded investigators and about 1,000 additional researchers. Green spaces, landscaped areas, pedestrian walkways and recreational areas also will be incorporated throughout the district. USF’s conceptual renderings show a pedestrian-oriented development with sidewalks, courtyards, gathering spaces and mixed-use buildings. The university notes that the renderings are conceptual and subject to change as construction progresses. Uptown Landing is being developed under a Master Development Agreement with ACE Fletcher LLC, which includes
USF rendering
Capstone Development Partners, Capstone Communities, Aureate Development and Ellison Development. According to USF, the private development partners will finance and own the student housing, affiliate housing, hotel and retail components during the terms of their ground leases. The first phase has an estimated total cost of nearly $500 million. Approximately $270 million is associated with the publicprivate development components, while approximately $225 million is tied to the academic and research building. USF will directly fund the academic/
research facility and its portion of district infrastructure. The university said the financing structure for the private components does not create a legal obligation for USF. Uptown Landing is being constructed on the site of USF’s former golf course. According to the university, the project will remain within the footprint of the former golf course and will not affect USF’s more than 500-acre Forest Preserve west of the development site. USF began pursuing a development partner in 2024 and selected its publicprivate development team in February 2025. The university’s board of trustees approved the project in September 2025, followed by approval from the Florida Board of Governors in November 2025. Construction began in 2026, with the first phase expected to open in time for the fall 2028 semester. USF said Uptown Landing is intended to create a new activity center connecting the university’s academic campus with the surrounding community and athletic facilities. The university expects the hotel, restaurants, retail space, conference facilities and research center to serve students, faculty, visitors, alumni and the broader Tampa community. CEG

Ascendum Machinery Acquires Reynolds-Warren Equipment
Ascendum Machinery photo
(L-R) are Grant Adams, president and CEO of Ascendum Machinery; Brian Meissen, president, Reynolds-Warren Equipment Co.; Steve Meissen, owner, Reynolds-Warren Equipment Co.; and Spencer McCroskey, owner, ReynoldsWarren Equipment Co.
Ascendum Machinery, the largest Volvo Construction Equipment dealer in the United States, announced Oct. 6, 2026, it has acquired ReynoldsWarren Equipment Co., a Georgia distributor of asphalt paving, road construction, compaction, pavement preservation and municipal equipment since 1977. The acquisition expands Ascendum’s Georgia operations and strengthens its ability to support asphalt paving contractors with wider service coverage, greater parts availability and a larger, more diverse rental fleet. The acquisition also makes Ascendum the largest LeeBoy dealer in the United States, extending its LeeBoy territory from North Carolina and South Carolina into Georgia. For nearly 50 years, Reynolds-Warren has built specialized expertise in paving, compaction and pavement maintenance, representing brands including LeeBoy, Cementech, Crafco, Falcon and Energreen. It also has built long-standing relationships with contractors, cities, counties and state agencies. All 35 Reynolds-Warren employees will join Ascendum, and Brian Meissen, president of Reynolds-Warren, will serve as general manager of Reynolds-Warren and director of Ascendum’s Road Products Division. With the acquisition, Ascendum now serves Georgia contractors from five locations. ReynoldsWarren’s Lake City (Atlanta) branch will add Volvo Construction Equipment sales and service; its Valdosta branch will continue to operate; and the two companies will combine their Richmond Hill (Savannah) facilities into one. Ascendum’s existing Buford and Macon branches will begin offering sales and service for the paving, compaction and pavement preservation lines Reynolds-Warren carries. Customers can continue working with their current contacts while gaining access to a broader team of experienced professionals who understand their equipment, their industry and the challenges they face every day. “More locations and more people close to the job
mean more uptime for the contractors we serve,” said Grant Adams, president and CEO of Ascendum Machinery. “Reynolds-Warren has earned an outstanding reputation in Georgia over nearly 50 years by putting customers first and developing deep expertise in the asphalt paving industry. We’re honored to have Brian and his team join us, and we’re building on what they’ve established while giving customers access to the broader resources and capabilities of Ascendum.” Ascendum also expects to leverage ReynoldsWarren’s paving, compaction and pavement maintenance knowledge to strengthen its support for paving contractors in North Carolina, South Carolina and East Tennessee. “For nearly 50 years, Reynolds-Warren Equipment has built its reputation on one simple principle: take care of our customers,” said Meissen. “Joining Ascendum Machinery is an exciting next chapter in that history. We’re combining the relationships, industry knowledge and customer-first culture we’ve built with the resources, scale and capabilities of Ascendum. We are not changing what has made Reynolds-Warren successful. We are building on it.” “As a proud manufacturing partner of both organizations, LeeBoy fully supports Ascendum Machinery’s acquisition of Reynolds-Warren Equipment and the immense value this unified team brings to our shared customers,” said Shannon Seymour, president and CEO, LeeBoy. “This strategic alignment seamlessly pairs Reynolds-Warren’s deep regional expertise in Georgia with Ascendum’s extensive infrastructure in the Carolinas to provide contractors with unparalleled parts availability and maximized machine uptime. We look forward to continuing our long history with both teams as they combine their complementary strengths to elevate the standard of customer care for LeeBoy equipment.” For more information, visit ascendummachinery. com.
AWSOM Whole Health Campus Breaks Ground in Bentonville Construction has begun on the AWSOM Whole Health Campus, a 120-plus-acre health care development in Bentonville, Ark., following a Sept. 17 groundbreaking by the Alice L. Walton Foundation and Mercy. According to the AWSOM Whole Health Campus, the groundbreaking signaled the start of construction on the Center for Advanced Specialty Care, the first building on the campus and the anchor of its initial phase. The 709,000-sq.-ft. facility will focus on cardiac care services in affiliation with Cleveland Clinic and is planned to open in 2029. Initial specialties provided by Mercy also are expected to include orthopedics, gastroenterology and neurology. Located approximately 2 mi. east of downtown Bentonville, the campus is being developed to expand access to specialty and virtual care throughout Northwest Arkansas and the broader Heartland region, according to the project.
Longer-term plans call for a cancer care destination with more than 1.1 million sq. ft. dedicated to cancer care, as well as a new hospital with more than 250 beds and 40 operating rooms in an additional 1 million sq. ft. Together, the planned facilities will create nearly 3 million sq. ft. dedicated to specialty care, according to AWSOM. CannonDesign is serving as lead architect and EDSA is providing landscape architecture and planning services, according to AWSOM. The initial phase is planned for completion in 2029. The project is being developed through a collaboration between the Alice L. Walton Foundation and Mercy, with Cleveland Clinic providing expertise for cardiac care services. The organizations say the campus is intended to serve as a regional specialty care hub for Northwest Arkansas and the broader Heartland. CEG

Caterpillar Invests $1B to Expand Its Compact Business in North Carolina
Caterpillar intends to invest approximately $1 billion in North Carolina to expand manufacturing capacity for products that support its growing Cat Compact business, helping customers gain faster access to the machines they need to solve tough job site challenges and build homes, infrastructure and communities. The investment includes plans for a new modern manufacturing facility in Sanford, North Carolina, designed to increase production of compact track loaders and telehandlers to meet customer demand. The project supports Caterpillar’s Cat Compact strategy, which is focused on delivering a more streamlined and convenient experience for small contractors and growing businesses. “As demand for compact equipment continues to increase, we’re investing to better serve this growing segment of customers,” said Caterpillar Construction Industries Group president Rod Shurman. “This investment is another way we are solving our customers’ toughest challenges by expanding access to the products, solutions and services they need to work more efficiently.” Compact track loaders and telehandlers are versatile machines used across construction, landscaping, agriculture and material handling applications. Customers rely on these products to move materials, manage jobsites, support workforce productivity and complete critical work safely and efficiently. The investment will create a modern, technology-enabled manufacturing environment designed to improve safety, quality and operational performance while supporting long-term growth. The facility is expected to incorporate advanced manufacturing technologies, automation, digital production systems and integrated logistics capabilities to create a more connected and efficient operation. North Carolina was selected for this investment because of Caterpillar’s longstanding presence in the state, the strength of the local workforce, and the opportunity to build on existing manufacturing expertise and operations in Sanford. “We appreciate the partnership and support of the State of North Carolina, Lee County and the City of Sanford as we continue investing in the future of manufacturing and the customers we serve,” said Shurman. This investment reflects Caterpillar’s continued commitment to U.S. manufacturing and workforce development. The company expects the project to create opportunities for advanced manufacturing careers while helping employees develop skills in areas such as automation, robotics, digital manufacturing and advanced production systems.

AED Foundation Releases Tech Shortage Research Report The AED Foundation has released its 2026 Technician Shortage Research Report, providing the equipment industry with its most comprehensive assessment to date of the equipment technician workforce crisis. Building on the Foundation’s landmark 2016 study, the new report incorporates perspectives from equipment dealers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), technical schools and equipment technicians. This is the first time these stakeholders have been studied together to provide a more complete picture of the industry’s workforce challenges. The report confirms the technician shortage remains one of the greatest obstacles facing equipment dealers across North America. Agriculture and construction equipment dealers continue to face a shortage of approximately 10,000 diesel technicians annually, costing the industry an estimated $7 billion each year in lost shop and parts revenue, according to AED. “For more than a decade, the AED Foundation has made workforce development its highest priority because the future of our industry depends on it,” said Ron Barlet, chairman of the AED
Foundation and president of Bejac Corp. “This report confirms the technician shortage remains one of our greatest challenges, but it also provides a roadmap for how dealers, manufacturers, educators and industry partners can work together to build a stronger workforce across North America.” Compared with the Foundation’s landmark 2016 workforce research, the technician shortage has grown significantly. A decade ago, the shortage was estimated to cost equipment dealers approximately $2.4 billion annually in lost shop and parts revenue. Today, agriculture and construction equipment dealers face a shortage of approximately 10,000 diesel technicians each year, resulting in an estimated $7 billion in annual lost shop and parts revenue. The impact is evident across the industry, with 77 percent of dealers saying the shortage is hindering business growth, 72 percent reporting increased costs and operational inefficiencies, and 80 percent unable to meet customer demand because of a lack of qualified technicians, according to AED. Beyond documenting the challenges, the report identifies common priorities shared
by dealers, manufacturers, educators and technicians, including expanding career awareness, strengthening industry-education partnerships and increasing work-based learning opportunities. It concludes with six industry priorities designed to help stakeholders address the technician shortage through coordinated, long-term action. “The AED Foundation has made it a priority to connect industry with education,” said Sean Fitzgerrel, vice president of the AED Foundation. “Research helps us understand the challenge, but our mission is to help solve it. Through accredited college programs, recognized high school partnerships, instructor development, career awareness initiatives and relationships with dealers and manufacturers, we’re building a stronger workforce pipeline that will support the equipment industry for years to come.” While the report highlights the growing workforce shortage facing the equipment industry, the AED Foundation continues to make measurable progress in strengthening the talent pipeline across North America. The Foundation has achieved significant milestones toward its 2027 goals, including:
• 106 Accredited Colleges across North America, with a goal of reaching 120 by 2027. • 155 Recognized High School Programs, with a goal of expanding to 200 by 2027. • More than 5,000 certified technicians, surpassing the Foundation’s 2027 certification goal ahead of schedule. • 8,590 workforce entries into the equipment industry, closing in on the goal of 10,000 by 2027. • More than $10.2 million raised to support workforce development initiatives, exceeding the Foundation’s $10 million fundraising goal ahead of schedule. The AED Foundation continues to lead workforce development across North America through its College Accreditation Program, Recognized High School Program, instructor development initiatives, career promotion efforts and industry partnerships—helping educational institutions meet industry standards while connecting students with rewarding careers in the equipment industry. The 2026 Technician Shortage Research Report is available on the AED Foundation website, aedfoundation.org.

Odell Smith & Sons — Three Generations Strong
Odell Smith & Sons Inc. has spent decades building a reputation that comes from quality work and strong relationships. “We started in plumbing and septic work, and over time, we moved deeper into utilities, grading and site development,” said owner-operator Ken Smith. “As the market changed, we knew we had to take on more of the overall project to stay competitive.” Ken, who is the second generation of Smiths to run the company, joined the business in 1979, building on the foundation his father started in the early 1960s. “I didn’t go to college because I already knew what I wanted to do,” Smith shared. “I grew up around equipment, and diesel fuel was just in my blood. We started with smaller work and smaller machines, and as the company grew, the work and the iron got bigger too.” Today, Odell Smith & Sons focuses on subdivisions, commercial sites, utility installation and select government work across Harnett, Cumberland, Hoke and Moore counties, usually staying within about 100 mi. of its offices in Spring Lake, N.C. “A typical project for us starts with clearing and grading, then we move into roads, lot pads and utilities,” said Alden Smith, vice president and project manager, who represents the third generation of the family business. “After that, we bring our fine grade crew back in and get the site ready for curb, stone and asphalt. We sub out some of that finishing work, but we still manage it closely, so the final quality meets our standard.” Currently, the company is moving about 3,000 to 3,500 yds. of material a day at Caelin Farms, a 72-lot subdivision that covers 28 acres and requires approximately 60,000 yds. of cut and fill. The project also will include a retention pond and the installation of sewer, storm and water infrastructure. To complete its various projects, the company has 18 in-house employees and supplements them with subcontract labor as needed. “We choose to grow with our people and hire when we find the right fit,” Alden said. “That’s important to us because we want to maintain the quality of the work and the culture of the company. We’ve been fortunate to find people who want to grow with us and take pride in what they build.” Embracing Technology In addition to its staff, a major part of Odell Smith & Sons’ productivity comes from its equipment. The business runs about 30 machines total, with Komatsu excavators making up nearly all of its excavator lineup, and Komatsu dozers and wheel loaders handling key roles on grading and utility crews.
Ken Smith, owner-operator
Odell Smith & Sons Inc. uses a Komatsu D51PXi-24 intelligent machine control (iMC) dozer and a Komatsu PC290LCi-11 iMC excavator in tandem on a job site.
Alden Smith, vice president and project manager
“We started buying Komatsu machines early on, and we kept coming back because we trusted the product,” Ken said. “Over the years, the equipment has proven itself, and the support behind it has stayed strong.” On the utility side, Komatsu excavators such as the PC360LC, PC300LC and PC240LC have become core tools. According to Alden, the excavators deliver the speed, breakout force and reach needed for deep utility work, especially when crews are cutting 20- to 22-ft. trenches. “The excavators are efficient for the kind of utility work we do,” Alden said. “With the longer stick and extra reach, we can make a more efficient stroke and avoid some of the extra benching or box stacking that slows production down.” To handle more complex pond work, Odell Smith & Sons added a Komatsu PC290LCi-11 intelligent machine control (iMC) excavator, which gave crews the ability to maintain demanding tolerances and reduce the amount of follow-up grading required from dozers. The technology incorporated in Komatsu’s iMC machines also allows operators to work directly from digital plans in the cab, further improving productivity and precision. “We’re really trying to put the plans in front of our operators instead of making them depend on constant staking and checking,” Alden said. “That’s been one of the biggest changes in the last five to 10 years. Komatsu’s integrated GPS technology helps us work smarter, hold tighter tolerances and keep jobs moving with fewer delays.” Operator Thomas Frazer added, “I like being able to see exactly where I am on the screen of the PC290LCi-11. I can see the curb line, my depth and where I need to stop, so I’m not guessing.” Odell Smith & Sons also recently acquired a Komatsu D51PXi-24 IMC dozer. Collin Howard, a foreman and operator, said it has quickly become a go-to machine because of its versatility. “It has the power to cut through tough material, and it has the finesse to fine grade lots,” said Howard. “It can strip topsoil, cut roads, shape slopes and then turn right around and do finish work on the same job.” Howard also pointed to the dozer’s cabforward design and visibility as important advantages. “You can see all the way down to the cutting edge, and that changes a lot when you’re grading,” he said. “You feel the blade sooner, you can react quicker, and you can work safer because you see more of what’s around you.” Additionally, the company has been impressed by its Komatsu WA270 wheel loaders. see ODELL page 40

FAE Brings Global Equipment Community Together in Italy Katherine Petrik

CEG SENIOR EDITOR
onstruction Equipment Guide was recently invited inside the Live the Difference 2026 experience, in which FAE welcomed hundreds of customers, dealers, business partners and employees from around the world to northern Italy. This global gathering was designed by FAE to showcase not only the company’s equipment and manufacturing capabilities, but also the people, relationships and culture behind the FAE brand. More than a traditional equipment event, Live the Difference gave guests from more than 40 countries an inside look at FAE through factory tours, live demonstrations of the manufacturing and testing processes and activities unique to the region — bringing together the company’s international community in the place where FAE began. The event began with tours of FAE’s production facilities in Gambellara, in the province of Vicenza, and Fondo, in the Val di Non region of Trentino. The tours gave attendees an opportunity to see FAE’s most advanced manufacturing operations and learn more about the production of the company’s equipment and attachments. Numerous cutting-edge processes were on display, from laser cutting and sheet metal bending to automated welding.
(L-R): After touring the mechanical technologies plant, FAE USA CEO Giorgio Carera discusses the manufacturing process with Blake Heller and Tabo Sotto of BurnBot, fire mitigation specialists based in San Franscico, Calif. FAE brought customers, dealers, employees and business partners from around the world together in Italy for Live the Difference 2026, a two-day event featuring factory tours, equipment demonstrations, product displays and opportunities to experience FAE equipment firsthand.
The Fondo facility is located in the Val di Non, a region known for its apple production, historic castles and mountain scenery. The area, sometimes referred to as the “Valley of Castles” or “Valley of Apples” provided an interesting backdrop to the factory portion of the event. Here, guests witnessed the advanced rotor balancing process, precision assembly, stateof-the-art final testing and quality control procedures.
The second day, which brought guests to the FAE offices in Fondo, took on a festive atmosphere with displays of FAE’s lineup of equipment for forestry, land clearing, agriculture and road construction, along with entertainment and remarks from FAE President Diego Scanzoni and branch CEOs from around the world, including the USA, Canada, Germany, France, China, Japan, and Australia. see FAE page 28

Tours of the tracked carrier plant provided a view of how the remote-controlled units (RCU line) are built and tested. This new plant opened a couple of years ago and these are the first tour groups to visit.
Host of the event, Diego Scanzoni, president of FAE Group, spoke on several occasions and was so thankful for the worldwide attendance of FAE staff, dealers, partner manufacturers and special guests.

FAE’s ‘Live the Difference’ Brings Dealers, Customers Together FAE from page 26
FAE USA CEO Giorgio Carera welcomed the guests from the United States by inviting the crowd to give them a big round of applause. He continued: “Tonight, we are celebrating more than a company. We are celebrating a community — a community built on relationships, trust, and shared values. We are proud of what we have accomplished together over the years, and we believe the best is yet to come. Welcome to the FAE family, welcome to our community, and welcome to our home. Let’s continue to make a difference.” A focal point of the event was the FAE Village, where attendees could see equipment and technology up close. The displays provided an opportunity to examine FAE’s machines and attachments, providing insight into performance in the field. As the sun began to set over the valley surrounding FAE’s Fondo facility, the “FAE Village Experience” moved toward what appeared to be its grand finale. Hundreds of drones took to the sky, creating a choreographed light show against the mountain backdrop, drawing the attention of the entire crowd by depicting FAE equipment, imagery representative of the FAE story, and ending with an inspiring, glowing FAE logo. Following the drone show, guests were guided into a previously unseen area of FAE’s PT production facility: one that had intentionally been left out of the earlier factory tours. Inside, the industrial space had been completely transformed to accommodate more than 1,000 guests for dinner and an immersive, futuristic show that would bring the evening to a close. Before the Live the Difference celebration dinner, FAE President Diego Scanzoni welcomed guests from around the world to the celebration, opening his captivating speech with the following words: “This event isn’t celebrating any particular milestone. More than a year ago, we simply decided that the time had come to do something I’d had in mind for some time. To take the opportunity to pause and say thank you. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in us over all these years. Thank you for continuing to choose our products. Thank you for continuing to believe in FAE. see FAE page 30

GOMACO Hosts Annual Two-Day Invitational #44 in Ida Grove
A
pproximately 312 guests from the United States and Canada were welcomed to Ida Grove, Iowa, Sept. 15-16, 2026, for the GOMACO Invitational #44. There were 256 participants in the two-person Putting Tournament on Sept. 15, and 312 in the four-person GOMACO Scramble Tournament on Sept. 16. The GOMACO Invitational is the company’s annual golf event, which was held at the Ida Grove Golf and Country Club and three surrounding golf courses, including Holstein, Mapleton and Schleswig. The GOMACO Invitational began at the Ida Grove Country Club with the Putting Tournament. Teams of two putters were computer generated to participate on four different greens on the course, with the top team from each green advancing to the Putting Championship. This year’s championship team was Jonathan Goff of Turck Inc., Aberdeen, S.D., and Brian Buchholtz, Anderson Contractors Inc., Pierre, S.D. The Contractors’ Shoot-Out followed the Putting Tournament Championship. The Shoot-Out featured six teams of three GOMACO contractors competing in a five-hole competition, with the highest scoring team eliminated on each hole. This year’s Contractors’ Shoot-Out Champions were Aaron Anderson of Industrial Builders in Fargo, N.D.; Steve Baker of Baker Enterprises in Waverly, Iowa; and Derek Bielenberg of Absolute Concrete Construction, Slater, Iowa.

The GOMACO Invitational began at the Ida Grove Country Club with the Putting Tournament.
The Invitational Scramble Tournament, a best ball competition, was held on four area golf courses. Computer-generated teams of four golfed 18 holes, with each course crowning a champion. The champion team from each of the four courses then played in a three-hole shoot-out at the Ida Grove Country Club to earn the title of GOMACO Invitational #44’s “Grand” Champion.” The highest scoring team was eliminated on each hole until only one remained. The “Grand” Champion team was from the Schleswig golf course and included Will Harkness of XIT Paving and Construction Inc., Waxahachie, Texas; Dustin Forgy of Mammoth Sports Construction, Meriden, Kan.; Jeff Bryan of Astec, Blair, Neb.; and Blake Driskell of Gerdan Slipforming Inc., Cape Girardeau, Mo.

Odell Smith Relies On Komatsu, Linder Machinery
three of us who ran the dozers came to the same conclusion. The Komatsu D51PXi-24 had the superior power, visibility and grade control. When we clicked on the automatics it was flawless. Everything was within five-hundredths. We just were extremely impressed with that, the efficiency of the machine, and how much material we could move within a day.”
ODELL from page 22
“The WA270 wheel loaders are strong machines, and they’re very comfortable to operate,” Ken said. “You don’t get all the rattling and noise you hear in some other equipment.” Longstanding Komatsu Support Odell Smith & Sons’ equipment decisions are closely tied to its long relationship with Linder Industrial Machinery Company, which dates back to the late 1980s. Odell Smith & Sons first connected with Komatsu through Mitchell Distributing Company (which was acquired by Linder in 2003) and began building trust with the people behind the equipment. “In this business, you have to trust who you are dealing with,” Ken said. “That’s what kept us with Komatsu and carried over into our relationship with Linder.” That support continues today through sales representative Owen Smith and product support representative (PSR) Brandon Ray. “The support has been great across the board,” Alden said. “Owen has always been available, and Brandon’s been right there too when we need help with a code or a question in the field. They always check in with us, and that goes a long way. We’re lucky to have those two.” Odell Smith & Sons also values the chance to demo machines before making a purchase. That hands-on process helped the company compare multiple dozers side by side before selecting the Komatsu D51PXi-24 iMC dozer. “Being able to operate something before you spend any money is a blessing, and Linder and Komatsu have always been really good about meeting our needs,” said Alden. “We demoed three dozers, and all
(L-R): Odell Smith & Sons Inc.’s Ken Smith and Alden Smith work closely with Linder’s Owen Smith and Brandon Ray to purchase, service and support their fleet of Komatsu equipment.
Continuing Consistency Looking ahead, Odell Smith & Sons expects steady work to continue in residential development, smaller commercial work, municipal projects and emerging multifamily construction. Even as the pipeline grows, the company said its priorities will remain the same. “We want people to know us for quality and for the way we think through a job,” Alden said. “My dad brings decades of experience, and I bring energy and technology, and that mix helps us value engineer projects without cutting corners. At the end of the day, we want to hand over a site we’re proud to put our name on.” For Ken, that standard is still the simplest measure of success. The company wants to build jobs that last, represent its people well and strengthen the communities where it works. “We don’t try to do a job as cheap as it can be done; we try to do it like it would be our own project,” he said. “When you can drive through a neighborhood years later and still feel proud of what you built, that tells you everything you need to know.” *The opinions expressed here are based on the customer’s specific experience. Results may vary. (This article and photos are courtesy of Linder Industrial Machinery.)

KOBELCO Debuts SK650DLC-11 High Reach Excavator KOBELCO Construction introduced the new SK650DLC-11 High Reach Excavator, a demolition machine engineered to deliver the reach, power, versatility and transportability required for demanding demolition applications. The SK650DLC-11 joins KOBELCO’s growing lineup of demolition machines, including the SK300 and SK350 Straight Boom models and the SK350D and SK1300D High Reach demolition excavators. Powered by a 463-hp Isuzu Tier 4 Final engine, the SK650DLC-11 combines multiple boom and arm configurations with a hydraulic variable undercarriage, a demolition-specific tilting cab and an attachment connection system designed to simplify setup and transport. In its maximum high-reach configuration, the SK650DLC-11 provides up to 92 ft. 7in. of pin height with an 8,160-lb. tool. For applications requiring increased tool capacity, Separate Boom configurations can accommodate tools weighing up to 13,450 lb. The SK650DLC-11 has an operating weight of approximately 178,100 lbs. and is engineered for efficient disassembly and transportation between job sites. With the counterweight removed, the base machine weighs approximately 109,000 lbs., helping simplify transportation

and machine setup. “The SK650DLC-11 was purpose built to give demolition contractors more capability from a single machine,” said Dan Collins, director of product development for KOBELCO Construction Machinery U.S.A. “By combining multiple front configurations with a shared main boom, a variable undercarriage and features designed to simplify assembly and transportation, contractors can configure the machine around the demands of the job rather than compromise between reach, tool capacity and mobility.” Four Front Configurations, Greater Versatility At the heart of the SK650DLC-11 is a multi-configuration attachment system that allows both: Separate Digging Boom and 3-Piece High-Reach Attachments to be used on a single base machine through a shared main boom. An Insert Boom is compatible with both configurations, giving contractors four front arrangements: • Separate Digging Boom: 50 ft. 2 in. pin height with a maximum 13,450-lb. tool • Separate Digging Boom + Insert Boom: 59 ft. 9 in. pin height with a maximum 13,450-lb. tool • 3-Piece High-Reach Attachment: 83 ft. pin height with
a maximum 8,160-lb. tool • 3-Piece High-Reach Attachment + Insert Boom: up to 92 ft. 7 in. pin height with a maximum 8,160-lb. tool The KOBELCO Separate Boom design incorporates a two-piece structure with an additional articulation point, providing increased flexibility in positioning the attachment and supporting overhead, close- range and below-groundlevel demolition work. Hydraulic Variable Undercarriage Enhances Stability The SK650DLC-11 features a newly developed hydraulic variable undercarriage engineered for demolition applications. For transportation, the undercarriage retracts to approximately 10 ft. 6 in. wide. At the job site, it hydraulically extends to approximately 13 ft. 9 in., providing a wider working footprint to enhance stability during high-reach demolition and when operating heavier attachments. The undercarriage can be extended or retracted while the machine remains on the ground. The operator controls the process from inside the cab, with no hydraulic hose reconnection or bolting required. see KOBELCO page 46

KOBELCO Expands Demo Lineup With New SK650DLC-11 High Reach Excavator KOBELCO from page 41
Purpose-Built Demolition Cab The SK650DLC-11 features a demolition-specific cab designed to improve visibility, operator comfort and protection during high-reach work. A spacious interior and high-performance operator seat help reduce operator fatigue during extended demolition operations. Additional demolition-focused features include top and front P5A glass and Level II protection as well a falling-object deflector, cab interference prevention system and stability warning system. Operator amenities include an air-suspension heated seat, air conditioning, Bluetooth hands-free radio, charging port, public address system, telematics, and a large 10-in. monitor. Faster Assembly, Transportation Because large demolition machines frequently move between job sites, the SK650DLC-11 was designed to simplify assembly, disassembly, and transport. The KOBELCO attachment joint system simplifies connection of the main boom and front attachment by allowing the upper pin to be hooked into position before the lower connection is secured hydraulically. Hydraulic connections between the main boom and front attachments use a one-touch bayonet-style mechanism, allowing connections to be made without tools. The system is also designed to reduce the possibility of oil leakage caused
by seal damage, helping improve reliability and reduce potential downtime during attachment changes. The 3-Piece High-Reach Attachment also incorporates a patented cross-cylinder structure, which reduces overall height in the transport configuration and improves access during tie-down procedures. New attachment stands serve as both storage stands and work platforms during attachment and removal. An optional hydraulic removable counterweight can also be removed and installed by one person, helping reduce labor requirements and the potential need for additional crane support.
Built for Demolition The SK650DLC-11 includes a range of added value features. Depending on machine configuration, features include attachment transport and storage stands, a water spray system, electronic onboard lubrication, quick-hitch piping, boom and arm safety valves, hydraulic variable undercarriage, energy- saving ECO Mode, in-cab hydraulic pressure release, reversible fan and Unlimited Power Boost Mode for the Separate Boom Attachment. Together, the machine’s multiple front configurations, high tool capacity, hydraulic variable undercarriage, demolitionspecific cab and transport-focused design provide contractors with a versatile platform capable of adapting to a broad range of building demolition applications with the highest level as added value and quality.

A WIRTGEN GROUP COMPANY As material handlers face rising operating costs, labor shortages and tighter product specifications, the role of radial telescopic conveying has expanded beyond improving stockpile quality.
Built for Long-Term Performance As producers increasingly evaluate equipment based on lifecycle value rather than purchase price alone, stockpiling equipment continues to play an important role in overall operating efficiency. Reducing material rehandling, lowering loader hours, improving stockpile consistency and maximizing inventory capacity all contribute to lower operating costs over the life of an operation. “The economics of stockpiling haven’t really changed,” said Gulan. “Every improvement that helps a producer move material more efficiently, maintain product quality or reduce operating costs contributes directly to the profitability of the operation.” Superior offers TeleStacker conveyors in standard lengths from 110- 210 ft., with custom configurations and lengths available for specialized applications across aggregates, mining and other bulk material handling industries.

Cleaner Way to Build — Felling Trailers Invests in People
Felling Trailers photo
Weld Production
Felling Trailers, Inc. has made a series of major equipment and technology investments over the past few years aimed at reducing its environmental footprint while improving efficiency across its Sauk Centre and Litchfield, Minn., facilities. These investments continue an environmental commitment that earned the company the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers’ (NATM) Green Manufacturing Award in 2018 and reflect Felling’s belief that smart manufacturing and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. For Felling, sustainability isn’t a single achievement to point back to. It’s an ongoing way of doing business. One of the most visible changes has taken place on the
shop floor itself. Felling has completed a comprehensive LED lighting conversion across all 11 buildings on its Sauk Centre campus, replacing older fluorescent fixtures to improve visibility and reduce eyestrain for employees while cutting energy use. The retrofit of the shop production area alone reduced fixture wattage by more than half, saving an estimated $26,200 per year in energy costs; combined with upgrades to the corporate office parking lot and additional production buildings, the lighting projects now save the company more than $40,000 annually. At its Litchfield facility, Felling upgraded its welding fume and gas ventilation system from a soft start to a variable frequency drive (VFD), allowing the system to run at just 30 percent of its previous capacity while still fully
protecting employees’ breathing zones. This change also saves an estimated $25,400 per year in energy costs. The company’s environmental investments extend beyond its own walls: it bales cardboard from incoming shipments on site and donates it to Cardboard Cares. This local organization funds art education for K-12 students in the community. “Our team and our community are as much a part of this commitment as the environment itself,” said Brenda Jennissen, Felling Trailers president and CEO. “Every initiative we’ve added since 2018 has been chosen because it makes Felling a safer, cleaner place to work and a better community member to Sauk Centre.” see FELLING page 53

Felling’s Factory Upgrades Benefit Employees, Environment FELLING from page 52
The company also partners with Clean Earth (formerly Stericycle) to properly manage liquid paint waste and fluorescent bulbs, recycling more than 3,000 bulbs following the lighting retrofit alone, and with EMR Northern Metal Recycling to recycle approximately 250,000 pounds of scrap steel every year. In 2025, Felling also recycled 4,000 pounds of used tires. Alongside these initiatives, Felling has made significant investments in cleaner manufacturing technology. A new 92,000-square-foot Powder Coat Paint Facility, added in 2023, expanded Felling’s finishing capabilities. The facility uses automated Gema Technology and a Therma-Tron-X sensor trolley track systems streamlining the application of a durable, consistent powder coat finish. The added capacity has also contributed to a reduction in Felling’s facility-wide volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, from 5.00t in 2024 to 3.49t in 2025. Powder coat and wet paint remain complementary finishing options at Felling, each suited to different trailer capacities, applications, and customer needs. Felling also upgraded its fiber laser cutting technology from 6kW to a 20kW Mitsubishi GX-F Fiber Laser, which cuts energy use per part, reduces reliance on delivered assist gases, and lowers material scrap through AI-based monitoring.

Halley Targets Year-End Completion of I-95 Interchange FDOT from page 1
The improvements include partial cloverleaf ramps, a new signalized intersection at 66th Avenue SW; lighting; realignment of C.R. 609/82nd Avenue; and construction of 13th Street SW. The corridor also will have 6-ft. sidewalks and 6.5-ft. bicycle lanes, along with Wrong Way Vehicle Detection and Intelligent Transportation System components. The project is designed to accommodate significant traffic growth. S.R. 606/Oslo Road currently carries an annual average daily traffic (AADT) of approximately 9,000 vehicles, a figure expected to reach 27,000 by 2045. I-95 traffic in Indian River County is approximately 58,000 vehicles per day and is projected to reach 90,000 by 2045, according to FDOT. Before the project, motorists had to use S.R. 614/Indrio Road, more than 5.5 mi. south of the project, or S.R. 60, 3.8 mi. north, to access I-95. The new interchange is expected to ease congestion on those routes while providing another emergency and evacuation route. Much of the work is taking place on former orange groves and other greenfield sites. Native soils are predominantly sandy, with areas of hardpan and clay. Crews removed unsuitable materials, including muck, hardpan and clay, while stockpiling suitable soils for reuse. The project also includes extensive drainage and utility work using reinforced concrete pipe, high-density polyethylene pipe, box culverts and PVC utility lines. Halley Engineering accelerated the project by working in multiple areas simultaneously and advancing construction phases. The approach allowed bridge work to begin earlier and shortened the project’s critical path. “We combined and advanced several construction phases and redesigned the Traffic Control Plan to advance the bridge construction and significantly shorten the critical path of the construction schedule,” John Morris, vice president of Halley Engineering, told Construction Equipment Guide. One of the project’s most significant elements was replacement of the existing two-lane Oslo Road bridge over I-95. The new westbound bridge is a two-span, two-lane structure measuring 339 ft. long. Traffic was shifted July 14, 2025, allowing crews to demolish the existing bridge and begin construction of the new eastbound bridge. The eastbound bridge opened to traffic June 28, 2026. The existing bridge was demolished in 20 days, with each direction removed in 10 days. Crews worked day and

The work covers approximately 1.41 mi. of I-95 north and south of Oslo Road, 3.7 mi. of S.R. 606/Oslo Road from 0.5 mi. west of I-95 to 58th Avenue and 1.06 mi. of County Road 609/82nd Avenue from Oslo Road to 1 mi. north.
night using concrete saws, hydraulic jackhammers, cranes and excavators. The new bridges were constructed with 24in. by 24-in. prestressed concrete piles and 72-in. Florida I-beams. Each bridge has two spans with 16 beams per span. The beams are 168.625 ft. long and weigh approximately 185,994 lbs., or about 93 tons, each. The beams were installed using a tandem lift with a 650ton crane and a 185-ton crane. Bridge decks consist of an 8.5-in. concrete slab, with profile grinding and grooving for ride quality. The structures also include 36-in. traffic railings, 27-in. parapet walls and 6-ft. sidewalks. The bridges are designed for a 75-year service life. “Most major construction activities have been completed,” Carolyn Gish, senior project engineer of Creative Engineering Group, told Construction Equipment Guide. “The remaining work includes final paving, grassing/landscaping and completion of punch list items to address any outstanding details before the project is finalized.”
Road construction included utility relocation, clearing, excavation, embankment work, stormwater installation, utility work, base construction and asphalt paving. The roadbed uses a 12-in. Type B stabilization layer with a minimum Limerock Bearing Ratio of 40, followed by base courses using coquina, shell rock and limerock. Superpave hot-mix asphalt is being used at Traffic Level C on Oslo Road and Traffic Level E on I-95. Stormwater work includes three major retention ponds. Ponds C1 and B1 are complete, while B2 is nearing completion. The interchange ramp ponds are being final graded and stabilized with turf. Equipment used for pond and roadway work includes a John Deere 750 dozer, Gradall XL 3300 excavator, John Deere 470P excavator, Kubota SVL95 compact track loader, Caterpillar 24M motor grader, Caterpillar AP1000 paver, Hamm HC70 roller and John Deere 644 loader. see FDOT page 66

Single Claim Can Threaten Viability for Underinsured INSURANCE from page 1
It’s traditionally been common practice for insurance providers to base suggested insuraNPK nce limits on a contractor company’s annual revenue. All that changed in the past decade. Now revenue alone is no longer a reliable indicator of potential loss severity, said one broker. Chris Ciccarelli, vice president of Amwins Brokerage New Jersey, sees claim severity outgrowing small trade contractors. In a September Insurance Journal article, Ciccarelli wrote that a single catastrophic loss that exceeds liability limits can threaten financial viability. “Small trade contractors face many of the same risk exposures as their larger industry peers,” he wrote. These contractors work on high-risk job sites, operate commercial vehicles and equipment and assume similar liability on their projects, he said. “One loss can quickly exceed the size of the business itself,” especially in light of higher construction costs, labor shortages and increasingly severe claims. Plus, the cost of insuring small to medium-sized trade contractors is growing. In early 2024, the average cost of commercial insurance rose 6.3 percent. Saving money on insurance costs is top of mind especially for small contractors, said Corey Sheridan, COO, Affordable Contractors Insurance. He said as insurance costs rise, many contractors opt for the minimum coverage necessary to meet contractual requirements and maintain cash flow. In an article for Construction Executive, Sheridan said this strategy might offer short-term financial relief. “But it can expose contractors to significant risks and potential financial ruin if unexpected events occur,” he said. “When contractors opt for the minimum insurance coverage, they expose themselves to a range of significant risks that can have severe consequences.” Financial liability is one of the most immediate dangers, but legal complications are another risk, said Sheridan. “Minimum coverage may not always meet all legal requirements, especially if regulations change or if a particular project has specific insurance mandates.” In fact, in some jurisdictions, minimum policies might fail to address stringent insurance regulations. Non-compliance with these regulations can lead to serious consequences, such as legal penalties, project shutdowns or prolonged and costly legal battles. Not only can they drain a contractor’s resources and delay project timelines, but the damage to a contractor’s reputation can be substantial. “If clients and partners perceive a business as unreliable or untrustworthy due to inadequate insurance coverage, this perception can lead to lost opportunities,” he said. A decline in business prospects can further compound the contractor’s challenges, he added. Plus, there’s the risk of losing valuable business assets. Contractors who do not have sufficient insurance coverage are at risk of losing equipment and materials in the event of theft, damage or disaster. Navigating Construction Business Storms But if revenue is no longer the sole measure of insurance coverage, then agents and brokers must dig deeper to assess a contractor’s risk potential. A provider must look at the full scope of an insured’s risk

Small contractors and subcontractors run the gamut of construct specialties, each with their own risks and challenges.
as well as his or her operations, the type of work done and the liability they assume. Only then can the broker establish limits that truly address exposures contractors face on the job,” said Ciccarelli of Amwins Brokerage. Though the nature of their work may vary and they may face different exposures, three challenges raise the stakes for all small trade contractors today. Ciccarelli believes these challenges are higher materials and labor costs, auto exposures and claim and litigation costs. Though small contractors may set work fees, material and labor availability and costs can change all that as they fluctuate during a project. Budget pressures can push a contractor to look for cheaper materials or sign on less-skilled labor to balance his or her costs and meet tight timelines. A small trade contractor looking to take on more jobs has to weigh time constraints, budget pressures and quality of work, said Ciccarelli. Despite the idea that small trade contractors manage smaller vehicle fleets than larger companies, even one employee on the road means auto risk exposure. “Bodily injury claims as a result of auto accidents can quickly exceed an entire contractor’s revenue,” said Ciccarelli. “As the auto sector remains volatile and claims remain severe, contractors cannot overlook fleet risks alongside the work they perform.” Finally, he noted, skyrocketing jury awards in recent years have exacerbated potential claim severity. Investigating and defending a claim is costly. A construction defect claim alone can impact several parties involved in a project. Determining who performed the work, when damage began and how far it spread can get quite complicated. Subcontractors could find themselves brought into litigation, as well, said Cicarrelli. They, too, can accrue significant costs to investigate and defend a claim. Agents serving as resources for their small trade contractor clients must start by looking beyond the general overview of
the insured, said Ciccarelli. He suggests that instead providers work to understand exactly what their clients do and how they operate. “Agents should work to understand where an insured operates, with whom they work, and how they perform work.” How are labor and material shortages impacting operations? How are contractors keeping up with tight schedules? How does the insured vet subcontractors? Does the insured rely only on certificates of insurance, or do they review policies and endorsements? Ciccarelli believes agents should not be aiming to make their clients appear risk-free. “Instead, agents should make sure the insured, agent and carrier understand the actual risk exposures at play and the coverage in place to combat them,” he said. By understanding the contractual obligations insureds are navigating, agents can in turn ensure their insurance portfolio aligns with their commitments. “For example, an insured might agree in a contract to maintain certain excess limits without realizing subcontractors are expected to carry the same.” If a contractor does not meet those requirements or appropriately transfer risk, he said, they could be left responsible for any contract gaps. “While insureds cannot control rising costs or how a jury might view a claim, they can make their business more defensible in the event of one.” Ciccarelli believes that concept of defensiblity begins with establishing a culture of safety. “Regular safety talks, documented procedures and visible safety practices can prove that a contractor prioritizes safety throughout an entire operation,” he said. These practices do not begin and end on a contractor’s property, he stressed. Instead, they extend to fleets on the road and employees on job sites. Safety talks, particularly around driving techniques and how to manage other drivers in the field, ensures that culture of safety spreads across the company. see INSURANCE page 66

To commemorate that achievement, a special 25th anniversary model of the WA485-11 wheel loader — a flagship model and one of the newest wheel loaders manufactured at the plant — was unveiled during the event. NMO became Komatsu’s fifth major manufacturing facility in North America, strengthening the company’s ability to bring products closer to the North American construction, utility and rental markets. The facility initially manufactured backhoe loaders before expanding production to include wheel loaders and forklifts as market demand
evolved, further strengthening its role in serving the North American market. Over the past 25 years, the facility has grown significantly, expanding from approximately 200,000 sq-ft. to more than 300,000, and from 22 employees at its opening to approximately 250 employees today. Beyond its manufacturing achievements, NMO has remained a dedicated community partner, actively supporting and participating in events and initiatives throughout the Newberry area. The facility is proud to be a longstanding member of the community and looks forward to continuing its legacy of manufacturing excellence and local involvement for years to come. “Reaching 25 years is a significant milestone for Newberry Manufacturing Operation and a testament to the dedication, skill and commitment of our employees,” said Rod Bull, CEO, Komatsu North America. “From the facility’s beginnings with a small team producing backhoe loaders to the diverse manufacturing operation it is today; Newberry’s success has been built by the people who come to work each day focused on delivering quality products and continuously improving what we do.”

Hydraulic stabilizers positioned between the front drive tires allow the XRS-1190 to provide additional stability and help maintain heavy lift capacities during long-reach operations. This specialized design allows operators to reach across one rail line to access and handle containers positioned on a second adjacent rail track, a common requirement in highvolume intermodal facilities. This additional lift capacity Taylor Machine Works photo makes the XRS-1190 particularly valuable for rail operators The Taylor XRS-1180 delivers standard lift capability handling increasingly heavy cargo. Like the XRS-1180, the up to 110,000 lbs. XRS-1190 is available with special application ratings that can accommodate loads up to 120,000 lbs. As global supply chains evolve and industries such as battery manufacturing, energy storage and data centers Future of Container Handling continue to expand, ports, intermodal facilities and Together, the ZRS-1272, XRS-1180, and XRS-1190 construction crews are encountering containers that exceed represent Taylor’s commitment to delivering innovative the lifting capabilities of conventional reach stackers. Taylor’s solutions for evolving cargo-handling challenges. Whether latest machines address this market need by delivering powered by battery-electric technology or emissionenhanced lifting performance without increasing equipment compliant diesel engines, these new models provide footprints or sacrificing operating and storage space their customers with the ability to manage everyday container and facilities demand. breakbulk operations while addressing the growing presence “At Taylor, we’ve always listened closely to our customers of ultra-heavy cargo entering our ports, intermodal facilities and build machines that help them do their jobs more and construction sites worldwide. efficiently,” said Robert Taylor, president and CEO of Taylor Machine Works. “As container weights continue to increase, especially with the growth of battery-related cargo, customers need equipment that can handle those heavy loads safely and confidently. These new reach stackers were developed to address that need without requiring operators to sacrifice the versatility and productivity they depend on every day”. Zero-Emission Heavy-Lift Performance Leading the new lineup is the Taylor ZRS-1272, a batteryelectric, zero-emission reach stacker capable of lifting and loading containers that weigh up to 120,000 lbs. The ZRS1272 retains the capabilities and physical envelope of our conventional reach stackers, while offering increased lifting performance for ultra-heavy containers. This reach stacker is purpose-built to handle all standard port and terminal operations, while also providing operators with the ability to safely handle cargo that exceeds the capacity limits of traditional equipment.

Paving, Landscaping On Punch List for Fla. Interchange FDOT from page 58
During the 2024 rainy season, a high water table beneath the westbound Oslo Road travel lanes prevented crews from achieving required soil densities. Rainwater had become trapped between the surface and a hardpan layer, requiring a change to the pavement design. “The team coordinated with the geotechnical and drainage engineers and developed a plan that changed the pavement design to maintain structural capacity,” Brian Coblentz, project manager of Halley Engineering, told Construction Equipment Guide. An overhead Florida Power & Light distribution-line conflict also affected bridge construction. FPL moved the lines underground using directional bores. A separate conflict between a proposed box culvert and an existing water main required redesigning and relocating the water main beneath the culvert, causing an approximately four-month delay. Halley Engineering adjusted the schedule and developed an alternate detour, keeping the delay from becoming critical to the overall project. “One key factor in accelerating delivery was the contractor’s ability to work out of sequence and execute multiple construction activities concurrently,” Gish said. “This flexibility allowed work to progress in parallel across multiple areas of the project and enabled bridge construction to begin earlier than originally scheduled.” Halley Engineering purchases equipment from local and regional dealerships. “We own our equipment, rather than renting it,” Morris said. “Our crews have immediate access to the machinery
they need for excavation, grading, paving, bridge construction and other project activities. This flexibility helps minimize delays, improve productivity and keep the project moving forward on schedule.” With major bridge and roadway construction largely complete, crews are concentrating on final paving, site stabilization, landscaping and punch-list work. If weather and other conditions cooperate, the new I-95 interchange and S.R. 606/Oslo Road improvements are expected to provide a major new transportation connection for southern Indian River County before the end of 2026.

Implement Effective Strategies to Safeguard Business INSURANCE from page 60
“Agents should advise that safety policies, practices and discussions should be formalized, communicated to all employees and documented.” Once documented, they should be available for easily reference to address employee questions and any potential claims, added Ciccarelli. “Contractors who are pulled into litigation can prove a documented history of effective safety practices and paint a more accurate picture of how the business operates.” Cicarelli believes smaller revenue does not necessarily mean fewer risks. Far from it, he said. Small contractors “assume significant exposures by the nature of their businesses, the organizations for whom they work, and the vehicles on which they depend.” Agents and brokers who understand those exposures can help ensure the right policies and limits are in place if a major loss occurs, he added. Putting Together Plans for Insurance Coverage Sheridan of Affordable Contractors
Insurance said understanding the complexities of obtaining comprehensive insurance coverage can be daunting. “But implementing effective strategies can safeguard a business against unforeseen risks,” he said. Here is his list of contractor considerations: • Conduct a risk assessment: Regularly evaluate potential risks specific to projects. Identifying these risks allows contractors
to determine the necessary coverage and avoid being underinsured. • Stay updated on regulations: Insurance requirements can vary significantly by region and project type. Keeping abreast of changes ensures coverage remains compliant and prevents legal issues. • Review the policy annually: As a business grows and evolves, so do its

Traditionally, it was common practice to base suggested insurance limits on a contractor’s annual business revenue. All that changed in the past decade, and now providers recognize that revenue alone is no longer a reliable indicator of the severity of potential loss.
insurance needs. Conducting an annual review with an insurance provider helps adjust coverage to match the current risk profile. • Invest in safety training: Reducing jobsite accidents not only protects the workforce but also minimizes insurance claims, potentially lowering premiums over time. • Document incidents thoroughly: In the event of a claim, detailed documentation can expedite the process and verify that the coverage is appropriate. Contractors should keep accurate records of incidents, including photos, witness statements and detailed reports. • Seek expert advice: Consulting with an insurance expert can provide tailored insights into the best coverage options for a business. Experts can help identify gaps in current policies and recommend appropriate solutions to mitigate risks. “These strategies allow contractors to better manage their insurance needs, guaranteeing they are well protected against potential liabilities,” said Sheridan. “This proactive approach secures the business and enhances its reputation and client trust.” CEG

World of Asphalt Spotlights Leadership of Tim Gorman
World of Asphalt is spotlighting the leadership of Tim Gorman as the 2027 show chair. Since stepping into the role a year ago, Gorman has guided the strategic direction of World of Asphalt as the show builds on the momentum of its successful 2025 event in St. Louis and prepares for its first show in New Orleans. “World of Asphalt continues to be an important gathering place for asphalt and aggregates professionals to connect, share ideas and see the equipment and solutions that are moving our industry forward,” said Gorman. “I’m honored to serve as chair and help support a show that delivers real value to producers, contractors and exhibitors alike.” When he’s not advancing the World of Asphalt Show & Conference, Gorman is division vice president of Rogers Group Inc, a producer of asphalt and aggregates materials in the United States. With extensive experience in asphalt production, construction and transportation infrastructure, he is an active leader within the industry.
He also serves in volunteer leadership roles with the National Asphalt Pavement Association and the Alabama Asphalt Pavement Association, helping direct the future of the asphalt pavement industry through advocacy, education, and strategic planning. “Tim [Gorman] brings a strong producer perspective and a deep understanding of the asphalt and aggregates industries to this role,” said Brittany Schmidtke, World of Asphalt show director. “Through his work as chair he has helped shape important conversations around the attendee and exhibitor experience, the show’s value to the industry and the continued growth of World of Asphalt.” World of Asphalt will make its New Orleans debut Mar. 15-17, 2027, bringing industry professionals together for three days of exhibits, education and networking. Co-located with the AGG1 Academy & Expo, the event connects asphalt, paving and aggregates professionals with leading manufacturers, practical solutions and industry insights that help move their businesses forward.
