S.T. Wooten Continues $81M Gordon Road Widening in North Carolina By Cindy Riley

In New Hanover County, N.C., construction workers are widening 2.5 mi. of Gordon Road. The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is overseeing the $81 million effort, which calls for a 17.5-ft. raised median. “Gordon Road is a heavily traveled corridor connecting Market Street [U.S. 17] to I-40,” said Jamie Martinez Gomez, NCDOT senior assistant resident engineer. “With significant residential growth, commuter traffic and tourism in Wilmington, the two-lane road is no longer adequate. Widening to a four-lane divided facility will improve safety, increase capacity and reduce congestion.

VDOT Filling in Gaps Between Richmond, Hampton Roads By Chuck MacDonald CEG CORRESPONDENT

Interstate 64 in Virginia travels eastbound from Richmond, the state’s capital, through rural areas, past the historic city of Williamsburg and on to the urban center of Hampton Roads, Newport News and Virginia Beach. The latter is the state’s most populous region and is home to military bases, colleges, beaches and residences. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) has been steadily adding lanes, both eastbound and westbound, to reduce congestion and enhance safety in this busy region. VDOT is pouring approximately $600 million into this region, breaking down the work into smaller projects, providing work and oversight to contractors and subcontractors. Segments of I-64 between Richmond and Hampton Roads have been increased to six lanes or more, but a “gap” exists where the highway is just four lanes. Segment C is the second “gap project.” Eventually, I-64 will be six lanes from New Kent County to James City County, approximately 29 mi. The new lanes, one eastbound and one westbound, are being added in the existing median. Scott Fisher is Richmond District mega projects engineer of VDOT. The job is approximately 40 percent complete, with a target date for Gap C to be finished by fall 2027. Each of the three gap projects will cost approximately $200 million. Contractors for Segment C are a joint venture of Allan Myers and Wagman. While planning for tree removal, the project team learned that they would have to contend with endangered species of bats. Since the creatures can consume thousands of insects per night, planners had to figure in bat preservation. This was anticipated during the RFP development. VDOT had included special provisions to address the time of year restrictions. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife department added additional requirements. “We worked with the state’s department of wildlife resources so as not to disturb the mating season or their offspring (called pups),” said Fisher. “Because we planned for this well ahead of our start date, our work was not delayed.” Stronger Shoulder Once the trees were cleared from the median, workers began the job of strengthening the outside lanes of I-64 so traffic could be transferred

there. This effort would free up the lanes adjacent to the median for workers to begin building the new lanes. “We milled seven inches of the existing asphalt then laid down seven inches of new asphalt,” said Fisher. “It provides the drivers a robust temporary riding surface.” Formerly “just” a shoulder, the new inside

lane will be 12 ft. wide. Together with 10-ft. shoulders on the outside of the completed project, I-64 will be capable of carrying up to 10 lanes of traffic if there is an emergency evacuation needed to escape flooding on the coast. The new lanes will be built on a 10-in. subbase with an additional 10 in. of cementtreated recycled asphalt (RAP). Contractors provided the RAP stores from other projects. The road will be topped by 8.5-in. base asphalt, 3-in. SMA-intermediate asphalt, with 1.5-in. SMA-surface mix asphalt. SMA is stone-matrix asphalt, a durable asphalt mixture suitable for interstate traffic. Building in the median simplifies the construction process and enables the team to add a safety factor. “One of our biggest safety concerns is getting trucks back into the flow of traffic,” said Fisher. “We have built several construction entrances that consist of long acceleration and deceleration lanes that provide our trucks ample room to merge into the flow of traffic. We also have adequate breaks in the jersey barriers, which makes it easy for dump truck drivers to get into the work zone.” The construction team will be adding the two lanes on nearly 10 mi. of I-64. In addition, they will The new lanes will be built on a 10-in. subbase with an additional 10 in. of cement-treated recycled asphalt construct culvert extensions for handling stormwater. The culvert work (RAP).

will be done mostly in the median, with some culverts being extended underneath the road using the jack and bore technique. “Keeping water away from the roads and bridges is essential for the long life of these structures,” said Fisher. Workers also will perform essential upgrades to two bridges to accommodate the wider freeway. The bridges are the I-64 East/West over Six Mount Zion Road. “Our work will include substructure rehabs, and work on the piers, abutments and foundations,” said Fisher. “We want to close exposed joints, as well. Otherwise, water and road salt can get in and cause serious deterioration over time.” The construction team will be using approximately 269,000 tons of asphalt for the work and building 36 mi. of underdrains to manage the groundwater. The excavation teams will be moving approximately 600,000 cu. yds. of dirt for the project. Fisher believes the work will have a big impact to the travelers on I-64, especially for those using the beaches in the summer. “I’m looking forward to people being able to drive this area without encountering the slowdowns that are normally the case,” he said. “The sections we have widened will help traffic move efficiently, instead of slowing down and becoming stop-and-go where the traffic narrows to two lanes. Without VDOT doing this type of work, businesses will be less likely to come here. So, I see it as a win for both travelers and businesses.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of Virginia DOT.)

Tackling Brownfield Projects: Sitecrafters of Florida Inc. Sitecrafters of Florida Inc. has spent more than two decades building a reputation for expertise in underground utility and sitework projects across West Central Florida. Founded in 2003 by Ted Kempton, the Tampa-based company has grown from a small operation into a disciplined contractor with seven utility crews and roughly 45 employees. “I started Sitecrafters after working as a landscape architect for more than 20 years,” said Kempton. “The company originally handled high-end residential construction in addition to sitework, but we quickly realized our strengths were in complex urban commercial projects. Over the years, we’ve refined our focus and grown into what we are today.” Sitecrafters concentrates its efforts on multifamily, institutional, educational and healthcare projects. The company’s work is characterized by constrained job sites, complicated logistics and existing utilities that require extensive planning and coordination. “We primarily work in brownfield environments where space is tight and existing infrastructure provides a range of challenges,” Kempton said. “These projects demand organization, professionalism and a willingness to plan every move.” As a service-disabled veteran-owned small business, Sitecrafters values its military heritage. Kempton noted that the company’s success is built on lessons learned from previous work and a reliable team of employees, often hired with military background. For a majority of projects, Brian Ackerson, general superintendent, and Joey Stewart, superintendent, work closely with Kempton to maintain consis-

tency in operations and leadership. “Our business model revolves around disciplined growth,” said Kempton. “We’ve learned the hard way not to take on too much work or spread ourselves too far geographically. Staying disciplined ensures we deliver quality results and remain profitable.”

Sitecrafters of Florida Inc. is currently working on a multifamily project.

Keeping Crews Productive In addition to its people, Sitecrafters’ capabilities are bolstered by a reliable fleet of Komatsu equipment purchased and serviced through Linder Industrial Machinery Company, including PC210LC-11, PC290LC-11 and PC360LC-11 excavators; WA270-8 and WA320-8 wheel loaders; and D39PX-24 dozers. Sitecrafters also uses BOMAG rollers. “Our Komatsu equipment works when we need it to work, and that’s a big deal for us,” said Kempton. “We provide our crews with reliable machines because if your equipment is down, that’s on you. Weather and general contractors can throw enough curveballs — equipment failures should never be one of them.” The durability and value of Komatsu machines also were crucial factors in Sitecrafters’ decision to standardize its fleet. “Komatsu equipment gives us the best value,” said Ackerson. “It’s durable, performs as well as higher-priced brands and comes with better support. That’s why all our big iron is Komatsu.” Ackerson pointed to the company’s current multiphase residential project as a good example of how the fleet keeps things running smoothly in a complex environment. see SITECRAFTERS page 46

MDOT Marks Significant Accomplishments, Funding in 2025 Last year was one of the most significant for the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). In the 2025 session, a sweeping tax reform law passed the Mississippi Legislature, and with it came an increase in the gas tax, a primary source of funding for MDOT. Funding from the gas tax is expected to add millions to the agency’s budget. It will help offset rising costs and better equip the department to maintain and build upon the state’s investment in infrastructure. Due to increased appropriations in recent years, major projects are under way in each region of the state to increase traffic capacity, make safety upgrades and modernize infrastructure. One of the most significant of these projects kicked off in Tippah County in August when officials broke ground on the “Ripley

Bypass.” This $195 million project will widen and construct 10.5 mi. of State Route 15 from Union County to Ripley and build a State Route 2 connector in Blue Mountain. It is anticipated to improve safety and spur economic growth. Another project wrapped up last summer in the Mississippi Delta with the completion of the U.S. 82 Greenville Bypass. The $216 million project constructed nearly 16 mi. of new four-lane highway from Leland to the Mississippi River Bridge, alleviating traffic and improving driving conditions throughout Washington County. In Union County, work continues on a major, $58 million capacity project on State Route 15 that will complete the four-lane connection from Pontotoc to New Albany. The expanded roadway will provide a much safer and economical route for travelers.

Also in north Mississippi, work is progressing on the replacement of four bridges on State Route 9 south of Calhoun City in Calhoun County. In the Jackson metro area, a critical bridge preservation project took place on the I-55 Pearl River bridges and I-20 flyover bridge. This $24.4 million project is nearing completion and is expected to extend the life of both bridges for many decades. In Pike County, a $76 million project is resurfacing 5 mi. of interstate, raising four bridges and improving the U.S. 98 interchange. The project is anticipated to increase interstate safety and optimize traffic flow. In Harrison County, a $49 million capacity project to add two travel lanes to U.S. 49 is making major progress with the southbound side nearly complete. The additional

lanes will alleviate congestion in a growing area north of I-10. Many coastal residents relocated further north after Hurricane Katrina’s devastation 20 years ago. To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the storm, MDOT created a documentary that chronicles the restoration of infrastructure through the stories of those at the forefront of recovery efforts. Also in 2025, MDOT scheduled 50 paving projects that are funded or partially funded using proceeds from the Mississippi Lottery. With increased funding in recent years and a vast number of projects under way, Mississippians can expect to see even more improvements to the state’s transportation system in 2026.

Long-Term Commitment...

Deutz Corp. Opens New Service Center in Mableton, Ga. Deutz Corporation expanded its customer support network with the addition of a new Deutz service center at 7030 Queens Ferry Place SE in Mableton, Ga., approximately 15 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. The facility has opened as part of Deutz’s long-term commitment to strengthening service coverage across the state of Georgia. Deutz Service Center Georgia will operate as part of a hub-and-spoke model, with Deutz Power Center Florida — North, in Jacksonville, Fla., serving as the hub and the new Mableton, Ga., facility extending localized support as a spoke. Deutz power centers serve as a one-stop shops that handle sales, engineering, parts and service, especially for OEMs and larger customers. Deutz service centers provide regularly scheduled maintenance and emergency service of Deutz engines, either at the service center location or at the customer’s site via traveling service technicians. Service centers also feature fully stocked parts counters for faster repairs with less costly downtime. This approach is designed to provide customers with faster response times, easier access to service and greater overall reliability. Both power centers and service centers serve as “one stop shops” for customers since each location has qualified technicians ready to service any piece of equipment, anytime. “Georgia is home to a large and growing population of equipment, and this new service center positions us to serve those customers more effectively,” said Jim Harlow, territory manager, Deutz Eastern Power Operations. “Whether it’s for scheduled maintenance or urgent repairs, our team is ready to deliver the level of service customers expect and deserve from Deutz.” The new Georgia service center is part of Deutz’s broader initiative to expand its service network nationwide, ensuring that wherever customers operate, they have access to the parts, expertise and support they need to stay up and running. In addition to Deutz engines and Deutzpowered equipment, the Mableton location also will provide service for any piece of equipment. “The hub-and-spoke strategy ensures that customers throughout the Southeast benefit from both centralized resources and localized expertise,” said Ryan Merry, regional director, Deutz Eastern Power Operations. “By adding this location near Atlanta, we’re expanding our footprint in a way that keeps customer productivi- Wrecking Balls ty at the center of everyFor Sale thing we do.” For more information, visit deutzamericas.com.  800-747-4750

Work Begins On LSU’s New $200M Takeuchi-US Moore, Dormitory to House 1,200 Students S.C., Assembly Plant Louisiana State University (LSU) in Baton Rouge took a step toward its long-term housing expansion on Dec. 10, 2025, with the official groundbreaking ceremony of a massive new South Quad residential project. University leaders, members of the LSU board of supervisors, LSU ResLife employees and multiple private project partners celebrated outside of the school’s Business Education Complex. The construction site is the fourth phase of the university’s housing development strategy. The $200 million dual structures will add 1,266 new on-campus beds for first-year students, reported the Revelle, LSU’s only student-run newspaper. The two new buildings, expected to open in time for the 2027 fall semester, will be used as residential colleges for students in the College of Engineering and the E.J. Ourso College of Business. “This isn’t just about breaking ground,” said Jeremy Doss, senior vice president of RISE: A Real Estate Company, head-

struction is being led by Lemoine, a Lafayette, La.-based firm. The design partners for the project are Brailsford & Dunlavey and CSRS. During the ceremony, RISE representatives gave kudos to LSU officials for pushing the project from board approval to groundbreaking in less than a year, allowing the project to stay on track to open in the late summer of 2027. “Over the next 40 years, more than 46,000 freshmen will call this community their first home,” Doss said. “This isn’t just housing — it’s the front door to the LSU experience.” The residential college format is designed to integrate academic identity into student living, pairing residence life directly with academic programs in engineering and business.

Large New Dorm Should Alleviate Moving Students Off Campus Before the ceremonial shovels broke the dirt, LSU leaders thanked members of the university’s board of supervisors, campus leadership and its project partners for making the dormitory construction a reality. “This project is going to have a lasting impact on this campus for generations of Tigers to come,” said Jim Dalton, LSU’s executive vice president and chancellor. The school’s board of supervisors approved the South Quad construction project in late June.

Earns ISO 9001:2015 Quality Certification The Takeuchi-US assembly plant in Moore, S.C., has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This certification underscores Takeuchi’s commitment to producing equipment that meets the highest standards of quality, reliability and performance. “One of our strategic objectives for 2025 was to create a business and/or quality management system that would allow for scale,” said Chris Burdette, director of operations of Takeuchi’s Moore facility. “Our culture is to show up each day with the intention of ‘Making Our Best Better’ — Takeuchi’s 2025 motto — for our team members and customers. “This certification is just another example of our vision becoming a reality through strong action planning, collaboration and execution. I firmly believe that our mentality, when we began this objective, set us apart and allowed us to be successful. ISO certification was not the destination, but instead, a verification of effectiveness for the system we installed to manage change, mitigate risk and leverage opportunities with speed.” Achieving ISO 9001:2015 certification is no small feat. It recognizes that an organization has implemented a quality management system (QMS) meeting the requirements of the international ISO 9001 standard. The process typically takes a minimum of one to two years to achieve, requiring companies to fully understand the standard, assess gaps, document processes, implement a plan and undergo an audit to ensure they meet the standard’s requirements for consistent quality and customer satisfaction. “To achieve ISO certification, we embraced the plan-docheck-act cycle as our compass,” said Alisha Needs, quality manager of Takeuchi’s Moore facility. “We began by honestly assessing where we stood and envisioning where we needed to be. With guidance from seasoned experts and a clear understanding of our strengths and gaps, we transformed insight into action. Our team didn’t just follow a plan — we owned it, executed it and elevated our standards. It wasn’t just about certification; it was about becoming better than we were yesterday.” For Takeuchi customers, the certification provides assurance that their compact equipment meets the highest quality standards. Due to data-driven evaluation and feedback, Takeuchi can determine any processes that need improvement and quickly take action using a customer-first approach that reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to the people who depend on their machines every day. “This certification is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our South Carolina team,” said Jeff Stewart, president of Takeuchi-US. “Their commitment to excellence ensures that every machine leaving this facility reflects the standards our customers expect from Takeuchi. We’re proud of this accomplishment and confident it will further strengthen the trust customers place in our brand.” For more information, visit takeuchi-us.com. 

Skilled Trades Easing Transition From Military to Civilian After years of dedicated service to the country, United States military members leave their enlistment to return to civilian life, but many veterans find this transition incredibly difficult especially when it comes to finding employment. According to a study produced by the Wounded Warrior Project, 40 percent of veterans struggle to find full-time employment after their contract ends and approximately a third of veterans who do find work get jobs below their skill level. The skilled trades are becoming a viable option for veterans and active-duty members looking to transition out of their enlistment. With high paying jobs and plenty of employment opportunity, it’s no surprise that many military members are exploring skill trades as a post-service option. Scholarship Opportunities Many trade schools cater towards veterans and understand this is a common choice for military members. Knowing their audience and wanting to help those who served, many schools offer military scholarships, reduced tuition and transition support. For example, at StrataTech Education Group, one of the largest skilled trade schools in the country, there are several scholarships awarding up to $2,500 for students who were in the military, women in service and students whose parents are active-duty members. Utilizing GI Bill Regardless of scholarship availability, the GI bill is a good resource for pursuing a trade education without financial

restraints. By using the GI Bill to cover tuition, fees and sometimes even supplies, veterans can gain valuable handson experience and certifications with little to no out-of-pocket cost. Veterans can quickly enter the trade workforce and make living wages without too long of an educational time commitment — usually ranging from six months to a year.

ice members transitioning back into civilian life. Through the program, service members can gain work experience, internships, job training or education during their last 180 days of service. There are thousands of industry partners across a wide range of fields including technology, logistics, healthcare and the skilled trades focused on welding, electrical, mechanical and more. Specifically, at StrataTech, active-duty members can enroll at any one of their five campuses and take part in welding, HVAC, refrigeration or linework programs, all while still receiving military pay and benefits. StrataTech has found students who are enrolled in a program through SkillBridge have a higher rate of successful employment and steady careers after they complete their military commitment. Whether or not service members take advantage of SkillBridge, they should look into their branch’s transition assistance program. All programs are designed to help bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment, easing the transition and increasing the chances of post-service success.

Take Advantage of Department of JusticeÊs SkillBridge Veterans are not the only ones who can benefit from a trade education. In fact, many active-duty service members start their training while still contracted with their branch. SkillBridge, founded in 2011, is a program through the Department of Defense to support active-duty military serv-

Why Choose Career in Trades Post-Service With shorter program times, flexible schedules, high-paying jobs, consistent opportunities and aligned discipline veterans already possess from their military training, the trades are a great option for service members transition back to civilian life.

AED Advocacy Delivers Win for Equipment Industry in NDAA On Dec. 17, the U.S. Senate approved the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), sending it to President Trump for his signature, following passage by the U.S. House of Representatives. Importantly, the final bill did not include right to repair provisions that AED actively lobbied against, representing a significant victory for the industry and a setback to those seeking to impose these mandates on products, including off-road equipment. AED members actively engaged lawmakers regarding the equipment industry’s concerns with language originally included in the house and senate NDAAs passed by both the house and senate, and it was a top priority during the AED policy conference and advocacy day in October 2025. “Thank you to equipment dealers and manufacturers for educating lawmakers about the impact misguided right to repair proposals have on the industry,” said AED president and CEO Brian P. McGuire. “This

was not a time for the equipment industry to be passive. Ensuring that right to repair provisions were removed from the National Defense Authorization Act prevents off-road equipment from inclusion in legislation pertaining to military and weapons systems, and assists in our efforts to defeat similar proposals that apply directly to the products AED members distribute, service and manufacture.” Throughout the process, AED led the charge on behalf of equipment dealers against the NDAA right to repair provisions, as outlined in an article by AED’s Senior Vice President of Government and External Affairs Daniel B. Fisher that was published in Farm Equipment in July 2025. For more information, visit aednet.org. 

Switchback Chooses Strap Over Cable for New Hangar Door During the Canadian wildfire season, historically between the months of May through September, the team at Switchback Helicopters in Calgary, Alberta, is on call.

Efficiency Meets Performance Powered by the Cat C4.4 173 hp (129 kW) engine and an advanced electrohydraulic system, the FM528 is designed to help lower fuel consumption while delivering superior performance, according to Cat. The high-torque engine operates effectively at low RPMs, minimizing maintenance costs from wear and tear while maintaining precision in various job tasks.

New John Deere L-III Skidders Boast Advanced Efficiency Delivering an enhanced operator experience through new assistance and comfort features, John Deere rolls out its L-III Skidder machines for the forestry industry. Boasting all-new cab design options, serviceability enhancements and visibility improvements, the L-III Skidders are designed to help operators maximize uptime in the woods and transform the way they work. In addition, the L-III models feature a variety of technology tools and precision solutions and options, supporting operator and job site productivity, according to John Deere. “Our new L-III Skidder line-up was designed to enhance the overall comfort and efficiency of our operators,” said Matt Flood, product marketing manager, John Deere. “We know that working long days in the woods can be taxing on operators, and the L-III models answer the need for more comfortable equipment that delivers the same powerful performance our customers demand.” Operator Comfort Prioritizing the operator’s experience, the L-III models are designed with new, comfort-focused features and are available in two package options: base and premi-

um. Both package options are equipped with new operator seats, amplifying job site comfort for day-long success. In addition, both models’ seats include the ability to tilt and extend the cushion for a customized fit and offer three operating positions: forward facing, rear facing and the newly released right-side door facing. On the premium package, the seat is made from vented leather and features built-in cooling and heating functions, for comfort in all weather conditions. The premium seat option also offers seven-way adjustability and includes air-operated bolsters that can be modified to the operator’s preferences. With countless hours spent in the seat of the cab, these premium options are designed to help operators tackle long days and remain productive, according to John Deere. With crews working during all hours of the day and through seasons with shorter windows of daylight, the L-III models were strategically designed to improve the operator’s visibility and reduce shadows in challenging settings, according to John Deere. With new, advanced lighting systems, the L-III Skidders come standard with

LED lights on the front, rear and boom. Also, the newly improved in-cab dome lights provide visibility during all hours of the day. For customers needing enhanced visibility, especially those working in darker settings, the premium lighting package option offers added high beam, grill and service lighting, which has a 200 percent increase in light output than previous models. With added visibility under the cab and in the engine bays, operators can easily view essential service areas, even in the dark. Operator Assistance Upgrades to the camera systems provide operators with added confidence. Available on the premium L-III machines, blade-view and tong-view camera options provide views for operators. The blade view camera delivers a precise look at blade position and movement, while the tong view camera supports tasks requiring accurate control and placement. Camera views can be configured to display on either the primary or secondary screen, giving operators flexible access to the visuals they need for operations that require precise control and positioning.

Advanced machine diagnostics are a critical tool in helping customers and their dealers maintain uptime. The new intuitive and diagnostics capabilities allow for quick access to the machine’s diagnostic trouble codes, which are easy-to-use and crucial for maintaining equipment health and efficiency, according ot John Deere. Remote Display Access (RDA) enables dealers, owners and support personnel to view and interact with a machine’s display from any location with an internet connection. Whether it’s adjusting settings, pulling data or troubleshooting issues, RDA allows users to operate the display as if they were sitting in the cab. Operator Control All L-III Skidder models boast a variety of precision solutions aimed at delivering optimal machine efficiency. These solutions, including TimberMatic maps, are integrated into the machine for a seamless user experience. The TimberMatic maps technology provides onboard job site visualization and awareness, helping operators to see near real-time data on the job site, according to John Deere.

Sitecrafters Relies On Linder’s Expertise, Service, Support “Linder takes care of scheduling and even performs maintenance after hours,” said Ackerson. “That means we’re not losing runtime during the day, which is huge for keeping projects on track.”

“The job site used to be the active parking lot for a restaurant, and we have to keep their lift station live until the new one is ready,” Ackerson said. “We’re working around customers and an active business, so downtime is not an option. The Komatsu PC290LC-11 excavator with a densifier lets us crush demo material and make our own road base right here, which saves time and cost. “The PC360LC-11 excavator came in handy on a lift station that was 22 feet deep. It has the reach and power to get the job done, and the loaders and dozers keep everything around the job moving efficiently, so we stay on schedule even when the site is tight.” Support That Delivers Ackerson added that Linder’s product support is a major reason Sitecrafters continues to invest in Komatsu equipment. The partnership with Randy Thomas, sales representative, ensures downtime is minimized and service is proactive. “Linder makes it easy to do business," said Kempton. "Randy has always been a straight shooter with me, been honest and given us good service. He’s always been there, and he knows our business, so he’s not trying to sell us a machine that just doesn’t work with what we do." “I can call our product support rep, Mike Hagy, and within an hour, he’s on-site if needed,” said Ackerson. “Sometimes, he even talks me through a fix over the phone, saving us a service call.” Sitecrafters also benefits from Komatsu’s Komtrax telematics program. This tool provides real-time insights into machine usage and idle times, helping the company reduce wear and tear while improving fuel efficiency. “Komtrax sends us a weekly report that tracks idle times, and I share it with all our foremen,” Ackerson said. “If a crew has excessive idle time, they get called out, and it motivates everyone to be more efficient. It’s a simple but effective way to keep costs down and extend equipment life.” Additionally, the company uses Komatsu Care and PM agreements to stay ahead on maintenance, ensuring machines are serviced at the right intervals without interrupting productivity.

Future Growth Moving forward, Kempton expects Sitecrafters to continue growing at a sustainable pace while maintaining its commitment to quality, honesty and value. “Our future depends on staying disciplined, hiring good people and sticking to what works,” Kempton said. “We may not be the only company that can do this work, but we take pride in delivering value and building lasting relationships. That’s who we are, and that’s what we’ll continue to do.”  ((This story is reprinted with permission of Linder Industrial Machinery.

The new Super 800-5 P mini-paver from Vögele offers numerous advantages.

Vögele photo

For the first time, the paver operator’s console incorporates a display that allows the operator to view the machine’s operating data.

Vögele has announced the Super 800-5 P-Tier mini-paver. With its new material hopper, new paver operator’s platform and new lighting concept, the Super 800-5 P offers a high level of operating comfort and optimum visibility, according to Vögele.

The successor to the Super 700 and Super 800 has an engine output of 74.3 hp, a laydown rate of up to 300 tons per hour and is compact with a width of 4.6 ft. and a length of 14.4 ft. Compared to its predecessors, the Dash 5 model also integrates numerous practical innovations.

Focus On User-Friendly Operation As with all pavers of the Dash 5 generation, Vögele also focuses on high operating convenience and short setup times with the new Super 800-5 P. In combination with the AB 200 V and TV and AB 220 V and TV extending screeds, it offers pave widths from 1.6 ft. to 11.5 ft. — making it ideal for narrow construction projects, according to Vögele.

New Material Hopper With Double Folding Mechanism An advantage of the mini-paver is the newly developed material hopper: as before, both hopper walls can be hydraulically adjusted separately or together. In addition, the asymmetrical setting, for example for paving along a wall, can now be completed on both sides. see PAVER page 62

Wirtgen Presents New Large W 250 XF Milling Machine Wirtgen photo

The mill assist machine control system regulates the power output of the two engines of the Wirtgen large milling machine according to demand to ensure the most efficient use of the machine.

With the new W 250 XF, Wirtgen presents a machine with milling performance and low specific emissions. It is available as of now in the United States, Australia, Europe, Japan and Taiwan. Dual-Engine Drive System Controlled By Mill Assist for Maximum Performance The engine power output of the new large milling machine has been increased by more than 20 percent compared with its predecessor. The active dual power dualengine drive makes the milling machine even more powerful and versatile in use. The two 18-L John Deere engines can deliver a combined peak power output of 900 kW. Wirtgen and John Deere worked in close collaboration on the fine tuning of the torque characteristic of the engines to meet the specific needs of the cold milling process. Both diesel engines already deliver high torque at low engine speeds. The improved torque characteristic guarantees lower fuel consumption and fast, productive work, even at the machine’s maximum milling depth, according to Wirtgen. Wirtgen photo

With the new W 250 XF, Wirtgen presents a machine with milling performance and low specific emissions.

The integrated mill assist machine control system regulates the power output of the two engines according to demand to ensure the most efficient use of the machine, according to Wirtgen. In automatic mode, it always ensures the most favorable working balance between performance and costs. It also allows the selection of three different working strategies that optimize the process with regard to costs, performance or quality. The W 250 XF demonstrates its full potential especially in “performance-optimized” mode. There is a choice of three different engine power

combination modes that can be selected to meet the requirements of specific milling tasks. For example, only one engine is used when removing concrete or brittle materials. When the task demands the removal of a surface layer and high surface quality, the second engine is cut in and operates in the part load range. In combination mode no. 3, both engines operate synchronously and deliver the maximum combined power output of 900 kW. As both engines are generally operated within the low speed range, their fuel consumption is correspondingly low. The large milling machine impresses with high daily output rates in applications on freeways, federal highways, airports and other major construction projects. Large Milling Machine Offers Milling Widths Up to 3.8 m Flexibility is one of the most critical requirements in day-to-day operations on construction sites. The milling drum of the W 250 XF can be exchanged for a multiple cutting system (MCS) milling drum within minutes. The ability to rapidly change to application-specific milling drums with different tool spacings considerably increases machine productivity, according to Wirtgen. see WIRTGEN page 64

GSSI has reached a long-term agreement with Hamm AG to integrate a key new sensor to its digital compaction assistant Smart Compact for tandem rollers.

GSSI, Hamm AG Team Up for RealTime Density Scan On Asphalt Paving Jobs GSSI has reached a long-term agreement with Hamm AG to integrate a key new sensor to its digital compaction assistant Smart Compact for tandem rollers. The agreement enables a new era in asphalt compaction technology for real-time quality control (QC) and for quality assurance (QA) on asphalt paving jobs. Hamm and GSSI have worked closely to create RealTime Density Scan, a high-speed, accurate sensor that can handle the harsh paving conditions of vibration, dirt, moisture and temperature under a roller, according to the company. Roller operators have the compaction control they need to ensure uniform densities and to create longer lasting roads using less energy. “Given the trajectory of density profiling systems in the industry, the natural next step in the PaveScan ecosystem was to integrate this technology into asphalt rollers,” said GSSI President Chris Green. “This agreement with Hamm combines the long-standing strengths of each company to provide customers with a truly innovative solution on a large scale. We couldn’t be more excited about working with Hamm and the future of DPS.” GSSI has been working on the core GPR sensors and algorithms required to deliver accurate results across a large range of compaction scenarios for a number of years. “This is a hard problem to solve at the accuracies required,” said GSSI CTO David Cist. “DOTs pay bonuses for good density because their research shows that each 1percent change in compaction can extend or shorten road life by 10-percent or more. Since water is the enemy of all roads, getting good densities over the entire job is key to longer

road life, since it seals out salt and water. However, the problem has always been that paving contractors have meager feedback for rolling asphalt to the right density. Knowing surface temperature, roller pass count and stiffness are all great, but they can never be combined to give the density values contractors need at the accuracy DOTs pay for. Gauges and cores provide only spot density values, typically too late and too sparse to assure longevity.” PaveScan technology has been used by numerous domestic and international DOTs for many years, according to GSSI. The first few years of this work was primarily focused on quality assurance — making sure the road meets specifications after the job is done. The next step was to work with DOTs and contractors around the world to design a system that allows for real-time process control which enables contractors to fix problems during the job, rather than just pay for them after the job is over. This is a win-win for everyone involved. Extensive testing, across a variety of conditions, consistently shows that PaveScan products in the plant and on the asphalt mat provide actionable density information at all stages of the process, something that hasn’t been possible before. A growing portion of GSSI’s business is what it calls industrial integration in diverse fields, from measuring whiskey barrels to refractory bricks. “Our job is to create the best GPR sensors in the world and then work with partners to create innovative solutions that have the potential to revolutionize industries,” said Green. 

AAPTP Partners With FAA, NAPA to Simplify Airfield Asphalt Binder Choices Selecting the right asphalt binder for airfield pavements has long been a challenge for design engineers. Unlike highways, airfields must withstand heavier aircraft loads, slow or stationary runway and taxiway movement and strict Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Department of Defense (DOD) specifications. Choosing the wrong binder can cause pavement to resist one type of NAPA logo damage but fail prematurely from another or drive-up costs if the binder is difficult to source. The result is the Airfield Asphalt Binder Selection Tool, a To address these challenges, the Airport Asphalt free, web-based resource for pavement engineers. The tool Pavement Technology Program (AAPTP), in partnership guides users through selecting a base binder grade by state with FAA and the National Asphalt Pavement Association and county, applying grade adjustments for aircraft weight (NAPA), sponsored binder selection research, led by the and movement and checking binder availability in the National Center for Asphalt Technology (NCAT). region.

CM Labs Simulations announced the launch of the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack, a drum roller training simulator.

CM Labs Simulations announced the launch of the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack. Designed to equip new operators with essential skills, the simulator training pack integrates with CM Labs’ Intellia training platform and joins a full equipment catalog — including training packs for motor graders, dozers and excavators — for a complete training solution for operators of all levels. Built by subject matter experts and designed to address the growing labor shortage, the new training solution delivers a highly realistic training experience tailored to beginners with no prior experience operating heavy equipment. As the most beginner-friendly training pack to date, the Single Drum Roller simulator training pack features a comprehensive nine-exercise curriculum designed to build a strong foundation in operating heavy equipment. With the training pack, trainees learn the foundational lessons of turning on, shutting down and operating the roller, as well as more advanced lessons such as compacting dirt in a J pattern, compacting in a Y pattern and how vibration settings affect operations, according to CM Labs. “Because rollers are often the first piece of heavy equipment operators learn, we wanted to design a training solution that starts with the very basics of operation,” said Alan Limoges, manager of product growth and partnerships. “Even if a trainee has never operated heavy equipment

before, our roller training pack can meet them where they are and bring them up to proficiency quickly.” With the Intellia Single Drum Roller Simulator Training Pack, trainees and instructors benefit from the following: Detailed Metrics: Trainers gain access to data-driven insights that are impossible to measure in live environments, providing enhanced training effectiveness and skills assessment. A Comprehensive Training Approach: Through dedicated exercises, the training pack introduces new operators to the fundamentals of articulated machinery, helping them master the complexities of roller operation in a riskfree environment. Sandbox Modes for Custom Training: With two sandbox exercises — an open space and an enclosed environment — trainers have the flexibility to conduct training sessions that meet their specific needs. Advanced Learning Features: The inclusion of an overhead view, as well as instant playback capabilities, allows instructors and trainees to analyze performance and improve learning outcomes. Intellia Integration: The training pack is a fully integrated solution that works seamlessly within the Intellia ecosystem and is compatible with CM Labs’ full suite of Intellia training management and instructor support tools. 

Vögele Launches New Super 800-5 P-Tier Mini Road Paver PAVER from page 47

In addition, the hopper walls of the new Super 800-5 P can be folded twice. Together with the flat engine hood, the low hopper height and the raised operator’s platform, this gives the operator an unrestricted view to the front. This makes maneuvering and loading the new Dash 5 paver much easier, according to Vögele. ErgoBasic 5 Offers Flexibility, Better Ergonomics Vögele also has improved the operating system: As before, the new operator’s control console can be moved horizontally. In addition, its angle can now be adjusted in four stages and ergonomically adapted to the height of the operator. The new ErgoBasic 5 operating concept follows the operating logic of the larger machines but has been specially adapted to the mini paver. For the first time, the paver operator’s console incorporates a display that allows the operator to view the machine’s operating data. In addition, Vögele has fully integrated the operation of the auto grade basic system for automated grade and slope control into the screed control system. This enables screed operators to control

The successor to the Super 700 and Super 800 has an engine output of 74.3 hp, a laydown rate of up to 300 tons per hour and is compact with a width of 4.6 ft. and a length of 14.4 ft.

the Super 800-5 P with just one compact console — just like on large Vögele pavers. A new storage system with a tool and drink holder, coat hooks and 24-volt socket for mobile devices also ensures organization and more convenience.

New Lighting Concept for Optimum Visibility With light package or light package plus of the Dash 5 generation, users can pave safely, relaxed and precisely even in the dark or in poor visibility conditions. The light package for the Super 800-5 P includes LED lighting for the paver operator’s console, the

tow point cylinder and the auger tunnel. This ensures that all points relevant to the paving are specifically illuminated without casting shadows. The optional light package plus also offers two LED floodlights that optimally illuminate the entire working area. For more information, visit wirtgengroup.com. 

tions, from pothole repair to complete surface removal.” The cold planers feature milling depths from 4.3 in. to 6.7 in., depending on model and working speeds of up to 16.4 ft. per minute. All models have an optional dust suppression spray system and clear depth indicators for precise control. The line’s robust construction and direct-drive hydraulic motors ensure reliable performance while minimizing maintenance requirements, according to the manufacturer.  CEG

Wirtgen’s New Milling Machines Offer Dual-Engine Drive, Level Pro, Mill Assist WIRTGEN from page 50

At the same time, the choice of the ideal drum for a specific application also reduces wear-related costs. Wirtgen offers a range of milling drums for the W 250 XF that meet the requirements of any milling application. Exchanging the milling drum assembly enables the realization of milling widths from 2.2 m to 3.8 m. With the aid of the quickchange system, the entire milling drum assembly can be changed in less than one hour, according to Wirtgen. Digital Solutions — Mill Assist, WPT Milling In addition to machine control with mill assist, the automated documentation of milling tasks with Wirtgen Group performance tracker milling, or WPT milling for short, also plays a major role. Maximum efficiency is achieved by the combination of both of these digital solutions, according to Wirtgen. The operator is kept constantly informed about the current machine

and job parameters and when the work has been completed, the data is transmitted to the machine owner, who can then use them for billing. In addition to displaying construction site and machine data, the automated documentation also shows the CO₂ emissions for the entire construction site. The John Deere operations center presents all information in real time. Precise Leveling With Level Pro The Level Pro active leveling system was developed by Wirtgen specifically for cold milling machines. Clearly readable control panels provide information and measured values from all currently connected sensors and ease the machine operator’s workload. The system is fully integrated in the control system of the cold milling machine and, as essential machine functions are directly interconnected, enables a high level of automation and precise milling results, according to Wirtgen. The sys-

tem also offers numerous automatic and additional functions that make the machine operator’s job easier, for instance, automatic lifting for driving over manhole covers. More Comfort, Safety for Machine Operator The W 250 XF offers a fully enclosed comfort cabin. The comfort cabin is constructed as a positive pressure system in which the air is cleaned by a filter system and the temperature is controlled by an automatic air conditioning and heating system. It provides protection not only against noise emissions, but also against weather conditions such as wind, rain, sun, heat and cold and prevents dirt, dust and hazardous substances getting into the cabin. All in all, a comfortable workspace that takes very good care of the machine operator’s health and physical wellbeing, according to Wirtgen. For more information, visit wirtgengroup.com. 

Superior, WSP Use Unique Element On New Brooks Bridge BRIDGE from page 1

Island, which crosses the Santa Rosa Sound near the Gulf of America. Hurricanes periodically hit the area, so the evacuation route is crucial. Traffic counts, however, have been growing over the years. However, the project has been in the works for decades without moving forward. The urgency for moving forward on the project rose in 2013 when a barge hit the bridge. The crash was not the first time a boat or barge struck the bridge. However, the 2013 incident damaged a water line that was the sole water source feeding Okaloosa Island, leaving the people without a potable water supply. The two (eastbound and westbound) new parallel bridges will add capacity as they include three 11-ft. lanes each. The bridges also will have two 10-ft. shoulders and a 12-ft. shared use path, while the original Brooks Bridge had just a 4-ft. sidewalk and 1-ft.-4-in. wide shoulders. The new bridge provides a vertical clearance of 65 ft., meeting U.S. Coast Guard regulations and offering 15 ft. more clearance than the original Brooks Bridge. The new bridge also is 800 ft. longer than the original, coming in at 2,111. “Because we raised the vertical clearance, we needed to change an at-grade crossing [on Okaloosa Island] into an overpass,” said Matt Durshimer, project design manager of WSP in the United States. “As part of that, we had to create two connector roads to restore what the at-grade crossing was providing.” On the Fort Walton Beach side, the team is realigning a local road to accommodate the new bridge location. The scope also includes substantial utility relocations as the existing bridge carries water, sewer and fiber optic infrastructure. There also were standard utility relocations that are part of many projects. Ground Conditions, Coordination, Limited Right of Way Both WSP and Superior are highly familiar with the area but have faced surprises, nonetheless. The surprise here is the ground conditions. “One thing you can’t fully anticipate until you’re on site is the ground conditions that you’ll have for driving pile,” said Evan Lawrence, construction project manager of Superior Construction. “The piles are performing as we expected, but the driving conditions are challenging, making it more difficult to reach the target layer.” The team has had to adjust the means and methods to reach the necessary depth, which has added time to the task. “We have to stick the piles far enough into the ground for the design events of the bridge which is a 100-year scour condition and a 500-year scour condition, where the mudline would temporarily scour away during an extreme storm event, and then that mudline will restore after that event,” said Durshimer. There are twelve utility providers that the team needs to coordinate. Scheduling and coordinating utility relocation has been a challenge. “Getting everybody on the same page to who goes first, and what needs to happen first,” Lawrence said. “It’s a big scheduling and coordination effort. We spent a lot of time in design, finding the exact homes where each utility can go here.” Limited right-of-way has increased the challenge of

relocating utilities. “We have a very limited distance [a few feet] between the edge of the new bridge and the right-of-way line,” Durshimer said. The limited right-of-way also has necessitated careful coordination of the cranes, equipment, and material delivery/storage. Original Design The 275-ft. spliced girder for the main span crossing will have a unique element. The team is using wax, not grout, to fill the annulus of the tendon duct. Why wax? “The flexible filler ‘wax’ material is semi-solid at ambient temperature, but when heated to around 220 degrees Fahrenheit it becomes a flowing liquid, similar to water,” said Durshimer. “This makes it an ideal material for completely filling the long post tensioning ducts. The flexible filler material serves as a means of corrosion protection of the steel strands, preventing oxygen and moisture from coming in contact with the steel strands. “Unlike a hardened cementitious grout, the wax allows bridge inspectors to readily test and inspect the condition of the strands, and if deemed necessary from signs of distress, allow for a complete replacement of steel strands. The bridge has been designed for strand replacement while remaining in service, avoiding impacts to traffic. “The use of flexible filler in lieu of cementitious grout requires the structure to be designed differently. Using wax provides an unbonded post tensioning design, unlike grout which bonds the strand to the girder. An unbonded system changes the behavior of the structure and results in a hollow section of the girder where the tendon ducts are placed. This void in the girder is considered in design and required a wider girder web to satisfy the demands of the structure.” This method has been used before on other applications in the United States, but this is the first on a new construction of a spliced girder bridge.

Interchange project, which is currently in design. “When we’re pairing design, we look at the past relationship between the two companies, and then we evaluate the project specific as to what are our strengths, and for this one we seem to pair up very well,” Lawrence said. The pairing is clicking again as both Lawrence and Durshimer praised the work of the team. One way the team’s success is evident is that the project is on budget. The $171 million project has undergone some minor changes, which have added costs. However, the team also has proposed cost savings through some design and material changes to balance it out. Construction on the project began at the end of 2022 and is scheduled to conclude in 2028. The date is later than the original completion date due to weather and holiday delays extending the contract time by approximately six months. Other issues involve permitting and the slow pile driving. The team is trying to make up time. “We’ve been doing shift work, so our superstructure crews are working nights. We have our other crews working during days, so it’s a 24-hour cycle to get some time back on the job,” Lawrence said. “The efforts have helped us gain back some time.” When the new Brooks Bridge is active, it will improve connectivity between Fort Walton Beach and Okaloosa Island and alleviate congestion. The unique structure also will be one that the community can be proud of.  CEG

Gordon Road Widening Continues in North Carolina NCDOT from page 1

Gomez noted that now is a good time to begin construction, because of the influx of people moving to the area, and the growing number of tourists visiting the coast. “Addressing the congestion now helps prevent future gridlock and supports economic development. Additionally, funding and permits are already in place, making this the right time to advance construction.” The project will add two travel lanes, bike lanes and sidewalks. These improvements separate turning vehicles from through traffic, reduce delays at intersections and allow for safer pedestrian and bicycle movement. Building a reduced conflict intersection will improve safety by reducing the number of potential crash points. Instead of left turns across busy traffic, vehicles use safer U-turn movements, cutting down on severe angle crashes and improving flow. Construction began in mid-June 2025 and is scheduled to be completed in 2029. S.T. Wooten Corporation serves as contractor for the project, which involves minimal traffic impacts. Lane closures are restricted to nights and off-peak hours. “Motorists are coping well, due to limited disruptions and clear traffic management,” said Gomez. “Advance signage and nighttime lane closures help reduce frustration.” According to Gomez, once construction is complete, commuters will benefit from safer travel, fewer backups, more predictable drive times and a smoother ride. Drivers will enjoy separate turning lanes, while pedestrians and cyclists also will have dedicated facilities to further enhance safety. Gomez acknowledged that working close to residential areas is a challenge, as widening requires careful coordination to minimize noise, dust and property impacts. In addition, the project involves utility relocations and stormwater

management, both of which can be complex. North Carolina’s coastal weather also can threaten construction with heavy rains and occasional hurricanes. Erosion control measures are in place to minimize weatherrelated delays. Crews performed clearing and grubbing; drainage and waterline installation; temporary signal work; and erosion control. One major milestone completed was the channel relocation, which was necessary for the construction of the 10-ft. multiuse path located at College Road and Gordon Road. “Key tasks ahead include utility relocations, demolition, roadway widening, curb and gutter, asphalt paving and signal work,” said Gomez. “These will set the foundation for the final driving lanes and pedestrian facilities.” Excavation involves grading, storm drainage trenching and preparation for embankments. Temporary shoring is required in areas with close property lines and traffic. Roughly 100,000 cu. yds. of earthwork will be moved on the project, which will create 11-ft. travel lanes with curb and gutter. Crews must place aggregate base course and install curb and gutter forms. Concrete curb/gutter is poured, followed by multiple asphalt lifts. Main equipment being used at the site includes bulldozers, excavators, graders, pavers, dump trucks and rollers. Other equipment includes trenching machines for utilities, milling machines for asphalt demo and slip-form pavers for curb and gutter. Chief materials include asphalt, concrete, aggregate base course and stormwater pipe. Reinforced concrete box culverts; steel for rebar and guardrails; signal mast arms; handrails; and erosion control fabrics also are required. Gomez said because of the volume of traffic on Gordon Road, improving conditions will significantly enhance residents’ quality of life. “It means delivering a roadway that will serve the community for decades. This project improves safety, reduces congestion and supports growth, making it a legacy project for both the construction team and the region.”  CEG
