TexasReadyto‘TurnDirt’With$100BPlan

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Texas Transportation Commission (TTC), thisAugust, is expected to approve Gov. GregAbbott and the Texas Department of Transportation’s record $100 billion, 10-year plan for infrastructure projects across the state to help meet demand for residents amidanongoingpopulationboomandperiodofeconomic growth.

This unprecedented investment in the 2024 Unified Transportation Program (UTP) that was recently announced also would increase funding in vital areas, including safety, energy sector, rural and urban connectivity, border infrastructure, maintenance and preservation.

According toTxDOT, the massive total is estimated to be $15 billion more than the 2023 UTP and is based on the record projected revenue for the state, derived primarily from growth in Proposition 1 (2015 legislative session) revenues generated by oil and gas severance fees dedicated to highway improvements.

Stacey Bryant, president of the AGC of Texas, is pleased with the proposed investment.

“AGC of Texas applauds the leadership of Governor Abbott, the TTC and TxDOT for this historic investment in our state’s infrastructure,” he said.

Playing Nice With OSHA

How to Avoid Fines for Jobsite Violations, What to Do If You Are Cited

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The Department of Labor opened the year with an increase in the cost of penalties for employer violations.This means not only the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, but the Employee Benefits SecurityAdministration, Wage and Hour Division and Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs are all under the fee-hike umbrella. So is OSHA.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s maximum penalty increases include more than $15,000 per violation for serious, otherthan-serious and posting requirement violations.

John Deere to Roll Out Latest Technologies at ConExpo

As a leader in technology and innovation, John Deere is exhibiting its latest precision solutions for the construction industry at 2023 ConExpo-Con/AGG show in Las Vegas.

“At John Deere, we continue to provide customers with groundbreaking, smart technologies aimed to improve user experience in the present and yield proven results in the future,” said Andrew Kahler, senior group product manager of Precision Construction, John Deere Construction & Forestry.

“Our portfolio of precision construction technologies is strategically curatedtohelpourcustomersmanage their fleets, improve job site performance, and enhance operator skillsets, helping to equip the next generations of construction professionals.”

At this year’s ConExpo-Con/AGG show, John Deere is showcasing its latest technology offerings including advanced vision and object detection solutions, SmartWeigh, standard EZ Grade on P-Tier small dozers and a variety of other grade management and automation solutions available to customers.

Improve Jobsite Safety

The next generation of John Deere production-class and utility-class loadersarespecifically designed to improve operator visibility and awareness. As a direct response to demand from operators, select models can be equipped with new vision and object detection technology. This technology can enhance visibility and help detect obstacles that present jobsite risks.

Object Detection technology, paired with a high-resolution camera and a dedicated display, helps enhance the operator experience and increase situational awareness. In addition, the industry-first vehicle trajectory logic technology overlays the projected vehicle reverse path to illustrate where the vehicle will move next.

Building upon the object detection enhancements, the industry-first Advanced Vision System integrates two digital cameras on the sideview mirror frames, helping to provide increased visibility to the sides of the machine. Within the cab display, operators benefit from an integrated view of all cameras, helping to increase spatial awareness with wider views and enhanced clarity.

The next phase of Deere’s technology journey can be found with SmartDetect and SmartDetect with Assist. SmartDetect combines cameras and machine learning to help give operators a better view of their

surrounds. The system alerts operators when an object enters the machine’s projected travel path and provides unique detection alerts for people in the camera’s entire field of view. With SmartDetect Assist, the machinewillautomaticallystopbeforecoming in contact with a person.

Increase Efficiency

One of the more advanced technology solutions that will be on display at the show is SmartWeigh, which is now available on the full lineup of P and X-Tier utility wheel loaders and will soon be available on the production-size P-Tier models as well.

Aimedtoimprovecycletimeswhenloading trucks or processing plants, this payload weighing system delivers increased accuracy, dynamic weighing capabilities, and ease of calibration. This John Deere designedand-supported solution helps operators confidently hit loading targets and minimize material loss.

Available fully equipped on loaders from the factory or as a 250-hour trial period, cus-

tomers that do not typically utilize payload weighing systems can experience the benefits first-hand, helping to prove value and give them the highest levels of productivity on their jobs.

As part of the SmartWeigh system, the dynamic bucket weighing technology eliminates frequent raising and lowering of the boom. The bucket capture height can be set anywhere between 15 to 90 percent of boom height and can be captured at any boom speed.

Another key feature is that unlike other payload weighing systems, SmartWeigh does not require calibration with a known weight.This enables customers to easily calibrate the system themselves without the need for outside assistance. On top of this, payload weighing data is integrated into JDLink, meaning it can be accessed nearly anywhere and not just within the cab of the machine.

Also new to the P-Tier and X-Tier wheel loaders, Auto Level technology is designed to eliminate frequent bucket and fork adjust-

ments. Operators moving or handling material do not have to worry about the load tipping too far backwards or forwards as the boom is raised up and down. This feature offers near perfect parallelism throughout the entire raise and lower cycle + or - 2 degrees.

Improve Productivity

Visitors at the show can experience the full portfolio of John Deere Grade Management solutions, aimed to help increase operator performance and accuracy.

Now standard on the John Deere Small Dozer line-up, with EH controls, is EZ Grade technology, which aids operators in grading smooth finish passes by making small blade corrections automatically. EZ Grade technology also is available on the SmartGrade 333 P-Tier compact track loader, which will be on display at the show. Also available on the full line-up of small dozersis2Dslopecontroltechnology,which helps operators in maintaining flat and sloping grades by automatically controlling the blade to a desired slope. Deere will provide solutions to meet customers where they are today and to grow with them as their grade management needs change. Whether it’s EZ Grade, 2D Slope Control, 2D laser, or 3D SmartGrade in the future, Deere small dozers will have solutions for every customer. Additionally,thesmalldozerline-upisavailable with a variety of innovative enhancements including larger touchscreen display and the industry trusted John Deere telematics. The data captured, formerly known as JDLinkTM or WITOS FleetView receivers, has been integrated into John Deere’s enterprise-wide Operations Center tool. This tool monitors not only machine data but also makes recommendations for a customer’s job site with things like fuel efficiency in an easy-to-use dashboard view.

Customers who have purchased options such as WPT (Wirtgen Performance Tracker) with their machine also will be able to conveniently view this data in the operations center in the future.

Those attending the 2023 ConExpo-Con/AGG show can see the new technology solutions firsthand by visiting John Deere Silver Lot outdoor booth #S5020. Show attendees also are encouraged to visit the John Deere West Hall indoor booth #W40844 to learn more about future technology and sustainability initiatives.

Tesla to Receive $330M to Build, Expand Factories in Nev.

LAS VEGAS (AP) Tesla won more than $330 million in tax breaks from Nevada for the company’s commitment to a massive expansion of its sprawling vehicle battery facilities east of Reno, including construction of a new electric semi-truck factory.

Approval from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development came as Gov. Joe Lombardo cited the benefit of good-paying jobs and a nearly decade-long boost to the local economy around Tesla's huge Gigafactory.

“Tesla has far exceeded every promise they made going back to 2014,” said Lombardo, a Republican who chairs the board made up of top state elected, education and business officials.

The deal is the latest to mark Northern Nevada as a focal point in the U.S. transition to green energy, as Democratic President Joe Biden’s administration seeks to move away from gas-powered vehicles in the larger fight against climate change.

Teslaprojectsitwillmakeanother$3.6billion capital investment, creating 3,000 new jobs at an average hourly rate of $33.49 with

health insurance for 91 percent of its employees.

The company plans to add 4 million sq. ft. of production space at two new factories at the Truckee-Reno Industrial Center, approximately 20 mi. east of Reno-Sparks along Interstate 80.

One plant will have capacity to produce batteries for 1.5 million light-duty vehicles a year, the company said. The other will have Tesla’s first production line for electric combination trucks. Musk has said the goal is a battery range of 500 mi. when pulling an 82,000-lbs. load.

Public support for the deal came from the White House and Mitch Landrieu, Biden’s infrastructure chief; from University of Nevada, Reno President Brian Sandoval, a Republican who as Nevada governor approved an initial $1.3 billion Tesla abatement deal in 2014; and a preschool at the factory site that said it will expand its hours to accommodate workers.

Three elected lawmakers in rural Storey County, where the Tesla factory is located, lauded the economic benefit to the region.

But they said the county of just 4,100 permanent residents deserves more tax revenue to support infrastructure and services including police, fire and EMS.

Tom Burns, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development, said in a statement that Tesla’s Gigafactory has propelled the state manufacturing industry and established lithium-ion batteries as the state’s eighth-largest export.

A Nevada-based recycling plant for electric vehicle batteries won a $2 billion green energy loan from from the Biden administration in February.

A federal appeals court refused to block construction of the largest lithium mine in the U.S., which is set to be dug in Northern Nevada, while the court considers claims by conservationists and tribes that the governmentillegallyapproveditinarushtoproduce raw materials for electric vehicle batteries.

Lombardo took office in January and has proposed a two-year state budget of $11 billion. He tweeted a photo of himself Jan. 24 with Tesla CEO Elon Musk at the industrial parkeastofReno-Sparksandcalledthepend-

ing agreement “an incredible investment in our state.” Musk also owns Twitter and the rocket company SpaceX.

However, the $330 million figure remainedsecretuntilrecentlyduetoanondisclosure agreement between Tesla and state officials.

That drew complaints from some lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled state Legislature about having only three days to review a 20-year tax abatement.

“There is little to no opportunity to explore howthisdealmayaffecthousingsupply,public schools, public safety and other vital government services in the region," Sen. Dina Neal said in a statement. The Democrat from North Las Vegas is chair of the chamber’s Revenue and Economic Development Committee. Neal did not immediately respond to messages seeking further comment.

Lombardo’s statement said Tesla has spent $6.2 billion on its existing 5.4 million sq. ft. Gigafactory, which the governor said provided 17,000 construction jobs and more than 11,000 “highly paid permanent jobs.” 

Equipment Dealer Builds Unique Demolition Machine

Like most excavators, a variety of attachments are occasionally used with the Cat 6015 to leverage the machine’s robust design and massive hydraulic power. However, in 2022, Cleveland Brothers Equipment Co. Inc. partnered with its customer Independence Excavating (DiGeronimo Companies, Independence, Ohio) and took these capabilities to the next level.

By combining the Cat 6015 with a Fortress 145FS Series mobile shear, and extending the working range of the machine with a customdesigned and built Pierce Pacific three-piece boom/stick, the Cleveland Brothers team was able to create a one-of-a-kind demolition machine capable of tearing down, wrecking, cutting and processing the harshest materials in the most difficult to reach places.

Independence Excavating’s Demolition Maintenance Manager, Ryan Lebeau, visited the Cleveland Brothers Murrysville, Pa., facility for the unique machine’s very first test run: cutting apart and processing an old concrete trailer slated to be scrapped.

“This machine produces over 300 gallons per minute in hydraulic flow at the end of the

stick, resulting in a 10-second cycle time for our shear,” he said. “Its performance is impressive.”

LeBeau said that his team chose to partner with Cleveland Brothers because of their close relationship and previous experience purchasing Cat 6015s from them.

“About 85 percent of our fleet is Cat machines,” he said. “Because we have contracts across the country, the nationwide serviceability and parts that Cat [Caterpillar] offers are key.”

This build concept was crafted with the demolition of decommissioned power plants and steel mills as it’s intended use.As projects come up, Lebeau said the machine will most likely be traveling the United States.

“The Independence Excavating team is excited that we were able to work with Cleveland Brothers to build this.” Lebeau said. “It’s going to continue to put us in a league of our own. Pushing the limits of the machine through innovation is how we set ourselves apart from other demolition companies.”

ARTBAJoiningAjax Paving in Suicide Prevention Effort, RaisingAwareness

The American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) is backing a campaign by Ajax Paving of Florida PresidentVince Hafeli that spreads awareness of the suicide epidemic plaguing the construction sector.

There are more than 5,500 construction industry suicides annually. According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, that equates to 45.3 per 100,000 workers, or 3.5 times greater than the national average.

The centerpiece of the initiative is a “Suicide in Construction Awareness Proclamation,” which seeks signatures by industry professionals who commit to address construction industry suicides with open communication, men-

tal health support systems, and safe and healthy work environments.

Employees, vendors, material suppliers, equipment manufacturers and dealers, engineers, family members and anyone associated with the building and transportation industry can sign the proclamation.

“We just can’t afford to ignore this crisis any longer,” said Hafeli. “Our industry must take steps to help our workers cope with mental health and its frequently tragic outcome —suicide.”

“ARTBA is eager to support the men and women who deliver the infrastructure improvements our nation needs,” said ARTBA President and CEO Dave Bauer, who signed the proclamation. “Vince’s

proclamation is a meaningful way for all of us to show that commitment.”

“Suicide most often occurs when stress and health issues converge to create feelings of hopelessness and despair. Finding ways for companies and the broader construction industry to work to combat this crisis is important; we need to talk about it, but more importantly, take positive steps to address it,” said Martin Marietta Chairman and CEO Ward Nye, who served as 2022 ARTBA chair and who also signed the proclamation. “Through our collective actions, we can make a difference.”

OSHAIncreases Its Maximum Penalties for Violations

The Federal Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015 dictates that all federal agencies must increase their monetary penalties annually in line with the rate of inflation.

However, the new rules are “intended to be a targeted strategy,” said Doug Parker, OSHA assistant secretary of labor.

They’re written especially for “those employers who repeatedly choose to put profits before their employees’safety, health and well-being.”

In fact, OSHA regional administrators and area office directors now have the authority to cite certain violations as “instance-by-instance citations.”

They can do so for cases where the agency identifies “high-gravity” serious violations of OSHA standards supports a citation for each instance of non-compliance.

This includes lockout/tagout, machine guarding, permit-required confined space, respiratory protection, falls and trenching.

Cases with other-than-serious violations specific to recordkeeping also fall under the discretionary authority.

According to OSHA, the change is intended to ensure agency personnel are applying the full authority of the OSH Act where increased citations are needed to discourage non-compliance.

“The new guidance covers enforcement activity in general industry, agriculture, maritime and construction industries, and becomes effective 60 days from Jan. 26, 2023,” said OSHA.

The current policy has been in place since 1990 and applies only to egregious willful citations.

At the same time OSHAreminds regional administrators and area directors of their authority not to group violations. The staffers should instead cite violations separately to more effectively encourage employers to comply with the intent of the OSH Act.

“Smart, impactful enforcement means using all the tools available to us when an employer ‘doesn’t get it’and will respond to only additional deterrence in the form of increased citations and penalties,” said Parker. “Employers who callously view injured or sickened workers simply as a cost of doing business will face more serious consequences.”

OSHA’s maximum penalty increases are:

• $15,625, up from $14,502, per violation for serious, other-than-serious and posting requirement violations;

• $15,625, up from $14,502, per day for failure to abate beyond the abatement date;

• $156,259, up from $145,027, for willful or repeated violations.

The minimum penalty for a willful violation is now $11,162, an increase from $10,360.

In January, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration announced a 5 percent increase in the civil penalties assessed for violations of its regulations.

The Connecticut Business and Industry Association (CBIA) reports that the number of OSHA inspectors increased by 19 percent. The association concluded that the increase in staff “raises the possibility of onsite inspections.”

Before the COVID pandemic, OSHA performed approximately 31,000 inspections a year, according to Chris Mayne, GZA GeoEnvironmental, Norwood, Conn. Mayne, GZA health and safety manager, told CBIA that number dropped to approximately 24,000 inspections in 2021. He anticipates as society adjusts to a postCOVID and with the increase in staff OSHAwill at least return to its pre-pandemic inspection levels.

“I have seen companies become more safety conscious over the years with safety becoming integrated into the fabric of company culture,” he said.

These companies are spending more resources on safety-related issues to prevent illness and injuries from occurring in the workplace, and consequently, to reduce the likelihood of citations and fines, he said.

“Having good safety management programs in place can help identify areas of non-compliance or risk and drive solutions to address these areas of concern.”

It helps a construction contractor tremendously to know the difference between an OSHA violation and a citation.

A violation occurs when a company or employee willingly or unknowingly ignores potential and real safety hazards.According to trainers at Safety by Design, a violation does not always mean an incident occurred; it can also happen during an OSHA inspection.

“Depending on the severity of the infraction, the company can receive a citation or fine,” noted the safety consulting firm.

Some OSHA violations do not put employees at risk, and as a result, instead of issuing a fine, the agency gives the company a citation.

“Similar to a warning traffic ticket, a citation lets the business know there is a violation to resolve,” said the safety consultant. “It will also include a date when the safety issue needs to be fixed.”

Only repeat OSHA citations are listed on a company’s safety record, the company further explained.

“It’s classified as a repeat offense when a business receives the same citation more than once in three years.”

Safety by Design said with a complete list on its website, OSHA has made it easy for employees, managers and business owners to look up various violations.

The firm suggests that regular safety audits and inspections performed by thirdparty safety consulting companies can help improve workplace safety. These audits also can help reduce the likelihood of OSHA violations and citations.

Understanding what an OSHA compliance safety and health officer is allowed to investigate is crucial, said training solution provider SafetySkills. It also helps to understand what employees’ rights are both during and after an inspection, said the Oklahoma City, Okla., company.

“But a proper safety plan needs to start well before an inspection ever occurs,” the firm added. “You should identify and eliminate as many potential hazards from your workplace as possible.”

As well, contractors should implement personal protective equipment (PPE) wherever necessary.

“You also need to maintain accurate records of all injuries, illnesses and deaths and train employees on proper safety procedures for both everyday work and in an emergency.”

Many employers choose to conduct practice OSHA inspections, the firm noted.

“Just like when you had drills in school, practicing an inspection means employees will be better prepared and likely more relaxed in an official inspection.”

SafetySkills believes beyond onboarding, ensuring every new employee is also up-todate on applicable safety standards could also significantly reduce the incidences of workplace injuries.

“Unfortunately, OSHAdoes not have one consistent standard for addressing safety training,” the consultant cautioned. “Instead, if there is a specific training requirement, it is outlined in the OSHA standard itself.”

The company instructs clients to keep in mind that training does not guarantee OSHA compliance.

“Training simply makes employees aware of potential safety hazards,” it said, adding that maintaining proper training documentation is key.

Documentation can serve as proof that the employer took the necessary steps to avoid a violation, should an inspection come to that.

No matter what kind of hazard may be present on a job site, there is some form of PPE that can help protect affected workers. Since 1974, OSHA has developed many PPE standards covering everything from clothing and fall arrest systems to hearing and respiratory protection.

“With few exceptions,” said SafetySkills, “employers are required to provide effective PPE that will protect each affected employee from any identified hazards or potential hazards at no cost to the employee.”

Employers also are responsible for providing complete training on any protective equipment that may be used. This training requires instruction in how to properly put on, adjust and remove PPE, and understanding any limitations of the equipment.

It is truly up to the employees to make sure safe habits are being carried out each day, said the safety consultant.

“In the field or out on the floor, employees will likely be the first ones to see any potential issues.”

By making it easy for employees to anonymously report potentially hazardous situations, employers can take the necessary corrective actions, the company said.

“It is crucial for employers to make it clear that if an employee raises a safety concern or files a complaint with OSHA, they are protected from retaliation.”

Employees also should be encouraged to conduct regular safety checks of their own areas to ensure standards are being met by every worker. Putting this power into their hands rather than in the hands of management only fosters a culture of safety from the ground up, believes SafetySkills.

OSHA provides a general overview of employer rights and responsibilities following a federal OSHA inspection.

“But you should always consult your local OSHA area director for any specific questions or concerns,” urged SafetySkills.

Employers have options:

•They can agree to the citation and penalty by paying the fine;

• They can request an informal conference with the OSHAarea director to discuss the citation;

•They can contest part or all of the notice, including the citation, penalty and/or abatement date; and

• Finally, employers can file a petition for modification of abatement if unable to meet the given deadline.

“Regardless, you must post a copy of the OSHA citation at or near the place where each violation occurred, in order to make employees aware,” said SafetySkills. “This posting must remain for three working days or until the violation is corrected, whichever is longer.”

In announcing the fine increases, OSHA reiterated that the enforcement changes are tools.

These tools are meant to help deter employers from disregarding their responsibilities to protect workers. They’re also meant to “ensure compliance with OSHA standards and regulations.”  CEG

ACPANamesLifetime,DistinguishedServiceAwardWinners

The American Concrete Pavement Association (ACPA) announced the winners of several prestigious industry awards, presented alongside the Excellence in Concrete PavementAwards at its annual meeting held Nov. 29 to Dec. 1, 2022, in Nashville, Tenn.

Hartmann-Hirschman-Egan Award

The Hartmann-Hirschman-EganAward is the most coveted award presented by the ACPA.

First presented in 1968, this award was originally named in honor of Harold W. Hartmann, the association’s secretarytreasurer from 1964 until 1974.

In 1987, Robert E. Hirschman’s name was added in recognition of his term as the association’s chairman (then president) in 1967, as well as his tenure as secretary-treasurer from 1975 to 1987.

In 2007, the name of Edward A. Egan was added for his service as ACPA’s chairman in 1986, as well as secretarytreasurer from 1988 to 2007.

The award recognizes individuals or organizations for unparalleled commitment, dedication, participation and leadership in the concrete pavement community.

The 2022 Hartmann-Hirschman-Egan Award winner is Stephen Jackson of Cedar Valley Corporation (CVC).

For nearly 50 years, the concrete paving industry has benefited from Jackson’s exceptional career with Jackson Construction Company and CVC. Under his leadership, CVC has been routinely recognized for outstanding quality, innovation, and the consistent construction of smooth concrete pavements.

In a range of leadership positions — including service as ACPA’s 2016 chairman of the board — his contributions went above and beyond the call of duty. Jackson’s passionate leadership of ACPA, Iowa Concrete Paving Association committees, and other industry and professional organizations stands as a testament to his dedication to the concrete pavement industry.

Harold Halm Presidential Award

The Harold Halm PresidentialAward is named in honor of ACPA’s first president, and this prestigious recognition is awarded at the discretion of ACPA’s president to an individual who has made significant contributions to the concrete pavement industry.

Jim Mack, director of market development at CEMEX, received the Presidential Award this year for his tireless advocacy for the concrete pavement industry and his unparalleled work in the sustainability space. Mack is a past-chairman of ACPA and currently serves on multiple working groups across the industry, including technical co-chair overseeing pavement research at MIT.

An active member of the American Concrete Institute, Portland Cement Association and the National Ready Mix Concrete Association, he is well-known in agency circles, particularly with Federal Highway Administration and Federal Aviation Administration.

Mack’s long history of success and ongoing efforts are a testament to his dedication, grit, and determination to advance sustainability in the concrete pavement industry.

Marlin J Knutson Award for Technical Achievement

The Marlin J Knutson Award for Technical Achievement is named in honor of the second chief executive of ACPA and recognizes individuals who have made significant con-

tributions to advancing the development and implementation of technical innovations — as well as best practices — for the design and construction of concrete pavements.

This year’s recipient isTara Cavalline, of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Cavalline has brought about substantial developments in quality control of concrete paving and improved the use of recycled and waste materials. She also has been a key researcher and contributor to the Performance Engineered Mixtures advancement effort to ensure concrete durability and performance life.

Cavalline was a leading contributor to the practitioner’s guide for recycling concrete pavements, which the National Concrete Pavement Technology Center published. In addition to her research efforts, she is an award-winning educator and has taught courses on materials, quality assurance in construction, sustainability, and environmental engineering. Her research and the practical application thereof have been of tremendous value to the concrete pavement industry, helping bring about quality, durability and sustainability improvements.

Outstanding Promoter Award

The Outstanding Promoter Award is given annually to a person who has made significant contributions through promotion efforts or programs to advance the awareness, specification, and/or placement of concrete pavements. This recognition is reserved for those who have been on the front lines making a difference for our industry.

Angela Folkestad is the executive director of the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter of ACPA and was selected as the 2022 Outstanding Promoter Award winner.

Folkestad is a dedicated advocate for concrete pavement in Colorado and Wyoming and a nationally recognized leader on sustainability issues.

Colorado is typically an early adopter of new pavement techniques and technologies, and her work, first as a pave-

ment engineer with the Colorado/Wyoming Chapter and now as the executive director of the chapter, has been crucial in shaping the trajectory of paving in the state. During the last five years, she has been at the forefront of utilizing concrete overlays, portland limestone cement, in-place recycling, and performance-engineered mixtures.

“Angela has become a leader in the field of sustainability and low-carbon concrete,” one of the nominators stated. “She represents the industry at a very high level and is recognized as an expert in this topic. She willingly attends meetings and travels all over the country in an effort to help the industry establish where we sit nationally on this topic.”

In addition to advancing national conversations, her Colorado/Wyoming Chapter has flourished. Folkestad is an active member of the Chapter/State Executive Committee, including a recent chairmanship, and is always willing to lend her expertise and efforts to fellow Chapter/State Executives.

She is an invaluable asset to the concrete pavement industry in her local states and on the national stage. 

Tech Innovators Earthwave, M.U.C.JoinNetZeroInitiative

Vögele’s ConExpo Display to Include Range of Products

At ConExpo 2023,Vögele will be present ing a cross-section of its current product range: from the small paver, the SUPER 700i, the SUPER 1300-3i compact paver and the SUPER 1703-3i 8 ft paver through to the SUPER 2000-3i 10 ft paver.

The SUPER 700i is highly maneuverable and compact, and can pave at widths between 1 ft. 8 in. and 10 ft. 6 in.

Two associate members of the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) have joined the organization’s net zero initiative, The Road Forward. Midwestern technology companies Earthwave Technologies Inc. and M.U.C. Holdings LLC are the newest sponsors propelling the mission to achieve net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements by 2050.

Headquartered in Indianapolis, Earthwave joined NAPA in 2014. Since that time, Earthwave has worked with paving contractors across the country, revolutionizing materials management for asphalt contractors with customizable solutions that provide better visibility to manage cycle times, reduce trucking costs and increase production rates.

Its Fleetwatcher suite includes Eticketing, materials management software with a mobile app, FMCSA-compliant E-logs and construction management solutions to improve efficiency. These components provide real-time tracking and status information not just to save costs, but also to decrease a contractor’s environmental footprint.

“We at Earthwave are excited to support NAPAand our fellow members in this initiative,” said Earthwave CEO Larry Baker. “The asphalt pavement industry has a long history of working together to solve complex issues and this is no different. Teamwork makes the dream work.”

MUC, a remote company headquartered in Cincinnati with employees nationwide, recently joined NAPA. MUC environmental analyst Josie Chiarello is a member of NAPA’s Environmental Committee.

MUC’s proprietary software provides clients in the asphalt industry easy access to near real-time metrics related to energy efficiency and cost. At the core of MUC’s services is its SaaS division, responsible for the collection, aggregation, and processing of all utility and recurring invoices, hence providing a seamless A/P solution and data storage for its clients. GeoMah, MUC’s division responsible for data mining and reporting, uses the software and its outcome as the catalyst that empowers MUC’s clients to

improve energy efficiency and economize energy use, which in turn will reduce greenhouse gas emissions and contribute to improving air quality and a healthy environment. The platform enables MUC to also assist clients in developing environmental product declarations (EPDs) using NAPA’s Emerald Eco-Label software.

“MUC is a team full of driven and hardworking leaders who emulate the commitment and the hard work that we observe in our construction clients. We are inspired by NAPA’s commitment to pave the way to a

In Las Vegas, the road construction specialist will be showing a selection of its products designed specially for the North American market: the SUPER 700i Mini Class paver in combination with the AB 220 extending screed, the SUPER 1703-3i 8 ft paver with the VF 500 front-mounted screed, and the SUPER 2000-3i Highway Class paver in combination with the AB 600 extending screed.

The Vögele range covers the full scope of applications in road construction, from paving narrow pedestrian and cycle paths in city areas, to urban and rural roads, through to highway rehabilitation. All pavers and screeds are manufactured at the company’s main plant in Germany, and are optimally matched.

Vögele will be presenting not only the optimal technical equipment for large-scale job sites, but also for narrow paving jobs such as on pedestrian and cycle paths. In combination with the AB 220 extending screed, the SUPER 700i small paver can pave at widths between 3 ft. 11 in. and 7 ft. 3 in.

more sustainable future in the asphalt industry,” said MUC CEO and Founder Georges Mahama. “In turn, we hope that we are meeting our asphalt clients’ expectations by providing valuable data.”

In supporting The Road Forward, the two companies are providing industry leadership on climate action. Their support will help fund ongoing research and education to aid the entire U.S. asphalt industry in producing net zero carbon emission asphalt production and construction by 2050.

“It’s meaningful that technology innovators Earthwave and MUC Holdings have joined The Road Forward,” said NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland, “because innovation has always been at the heart of the asphalt pavement industry and will be a driving force for reducing carbon emissions.

“Their support propels our collective vision for sustainable communities and commerce connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements,” added Copeland.

Fitted with cut-off shoes, the Mini Class paver even achieves a minimum pave width of just 1 ft. 8 in., and with bolt-on extensions a maximum width of 10 ft. 6 in. That makes it the ideal paver for any smaller construction job demanding maneuverability and small dimensions.

The SUPER 1300-3i is a highly compact paver yet features a maximum laydown rate of 385 tons per hour and a pave width of up to 16 ft. 5 in. Whether for a combined footpath and cycle path, a farm track or a minor road or square, due to the AB 340 extending screed the Compact Class paver has the pave width range to match.

With cut-off shoes, a pave width of just 2 ft. 6 in. is possible. The maximum pave width with the right bolt-on extensions is 16 ft. 5 in. This makes the SUPER 1300-3i ideal for compact paving. The intuitive ErgoPlus operating system, featuring a wide array of convenience and automation functions, assures process reliability and quality when paving.

The SUPER 1703-3i 8 ft. paver meets the demands placed on asphalt pavers in the North American road construction industry, especially when combined with the VF 500 front-mounted screed. With its compact dimensions and Pivot Steer brake, the wheeled paver features excellent maneuverability, and enables pave speeds of up to 250 ft. per minute.

SuperiorConstructionCelebrates85th Anniversary, Unveils Its New Brand

Superior Construction, an American family-owned infrastructure contractor, is unveiling the latest evolution of the Superior brand identity as the company celebrates its 85th year in business. The milestone year and new visual identity come on the heels of a record-breaking year of success in 2022.

The newly adapted visual identity retains the company’s iconic red color and name while featuring a modern typeface and a horizontal bar representing the company’s focus on horizontal construction, including roads, bridges and other infrastructure. The horizontal bar also alludes to the company’s long history, while the slight angle of the lettering conveys motion, reflecting Superior’s transportation work and forward-thinking culture.

In addition to the refreshed visual identity, the company is formalizing a longtime rallying cry: “This is Superior Construction.” A play on the company’s name, the tagline will be used to showcase Superior’s advanced business methods and innovative approaches to building complex infrastructure projects.

“While it’s been 85 years since Superior Construction became an entity, this also marks 100 years since my family first started in the construction industry and established what would eventually become Superior Construction,” said CEO and owner Nick Largura. “What’s remained true over the years is our family-first, people-oriented culture.”

In addition, Superior will be holding companywide events for employees and promoting its mission, vision and values, which were officially developed late last year.

“Given our company’s recent successes and effective

expansion into new markets, this milestone year, we thought it was time to put down in writing what has always made this company special,” Largura said. “By formally adopting a set of objectives, aspirations and principles, we are renewing our commitment to our customers, our communities and each other.”

After soliciting employee feedback across all divisions and conducting in-depth interviews with key leaders throughout the company, Superior identified its core values as family, safety, integrity, innovation, commitment and empowerment.

“There’s a common perception that a company’s mission, vision and values have to originate at the top and trickle down,” Largura said. “While there can be value in this, just announcing ‘this is who we are’doesn’t foster a meaningful company culture. That’s why we’ve been taking an organic, bottom-to-top approach.”

With the passage of the Infrastructure Investment and JobsAct, Superior is poised to rebuild many of the roads and bridges that Largura’s father and grandfather built after WorldWar II, when the U.S. Interstate Highway System was born.

“Our business has always been about building community by investing in people and connecting families,” Largura said. “We’ve been delivering on that promise for decades because of our ability to adapt to evolutionary change and shifting markets, all while remaining true to the foundational values of our family-owned company.”

AEM Finalizes Updates to Pair of Popular SafetyManualTitles:Aerial,MobileCrane

AEM has announced a pair of recent safety manual updates in accordance with its longstanding mission to provide up-to-date and industry-consensus safety materials that encourage safe equipment operation.

The recent updates to AEM’s Aerial Platform Safety Manual (now titled Mobile Elevating Work Platform Safety Manual) and Mobile Crane Safety Manual offer user-friendly and easily accessible content on safe practices to use when operating and maintaining machinery.

“We appreciate our member companies and their product safety experts for their efforts in developing, reviewing and approving these updates, ensuring they truly represent best practices for safe equipment operation,” said AEM Safety Materials Manager Becca Basten.

AEM’s safety materials are consensus documents that are developed,

reviewed and approved by committees empaneled by AEM, and they represent best practices for the industry. The safety materials include more than 55 unique manual titles, and they extend to additional collateral such as videos, brochures, decals and training kits.

In many cases, the manual is often assigned a part number in a manufacturer’s production process to ensure it is included with other safety literature when the equipment is sold into market.

“This integration with the manufacturing process helps AEM member companies by reinforcing their already existing risk management programs,” added Basten.

Manuals are put up for review every five years. Sometimes, a title’s scheduled review is skipped if no updates are requested by members at AEM product group meetings. Other times, reviews can take longer than expected.

When its first safety manual was published in 1969, AEM (then known as CIMA) established a foundation a safety materials program that has grown exponentially over the 50 years that followed.

The intent at that time was for the association to provide end users with a safety manual that complemented its members’OEMs’publications and that represented the industry’s best practices for equipment safety. It was an auspicious idea: To provide consensusbased safety documents that were developed, reviewed and approved by association members who, although they competed in the marketplace, would work together to publish best practices for operating equipment safely.

AEM shipped 1.2 million units worth of safety materials to its members and the general public last year. For more information, visit safetymaterials.org. 

Komatsu’s Chattanooga Facility Begins Production of HM400-5Articulated Trucks

To support growing demand, Komatsu has begun producing the company’s HM400-5 articulated haul trucks at its factory in Chattanooga, Tenn.

While the trucks were produced in Chattanooga in the mid-2000s, in 2009 production shifted to the company’s plant in Ibaraki, Japan, where it has remained until now.

Used primarily in construction, quarry and mining applications, the 473-hp HM400-5 is designed to move material across challenging terrain while delivering productive, consistent performance for operators of all experience levels. To celebrate the new production line, Komatsu and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) hosted U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann along with other local and state officials for a launch event at the company’s Chattanooga plant.

“For years, Komatsu has been a proud member of our Chattanooga-area community, providing hundreds of goodpaying jobs and generating a massive economic impact for Chattanooga and Tennessee,” said Fleischmann.

“Bringing back production of Komatsu’s HM400-5 trucks is another sign of our strong local workforce and shows the confidence business leaders have in Chattanooga’s economy and our values of hard work, low taxes and free enterprise. I am excited that Komatsu is expanding their operations here in Chattanooga and investing in our community.”

Production of the truck has already driven an increase in Komatsu’s spend with local and regional suppliers. Additionally, the new line will offer more opportunities for area students to gain experience in manufacturing. Komatsu’s Chattanooga plant currently has a pre-apprenticeship program that employs high school seniors part-time, allowing them to earn credits toward a full apprenticeship certification through Chattanooga State Community

College.

“We have seen the demand for our HM400-5 trucks grow significantly in both the U.S. and Canada, which is why we began producing the trucks here in the U.S.,” said Rod Schrader, chairman and CEO, Komatsu North America. “The domestic production of this popular truck supports Komatsu’s commitment to jobs and manufacturing in the U.S., and also enables us to contribute far more to the local Chattanooga economy.”

“AEM is honored to partner with Komatsu to host Congressman Chuck Fleischmann as we celebrate the return of production of the HM400 articulated truck to Chattanooga. Today’s event is a vital reminder that equipment manufacturing in the United States is alive and well, with a future destined to create more family-sustaining jobs inAmerica,” said Kip Eideberg,AEM’s senior vice president of government and industry relations.

“As our industry continues to face supply chain disruptions and worker shortages, we need our elected officials to support policies that will help strengthen equipment manufacturing in America. We are grateful to Congressman Fleischmann for his leadership in Congress and his support for policies that will help equipment manufacturers invest in their communities, grow their businesses, and hire more Americans.”

In addition to the HM400-5 trucks, the plant produces midsize hydraulic excavators and intelligent excavators, as well as some machines for the forestry market. Approximately 525 people are employed at the Chattanooga campus. Of those employees, 425 are part of the manufacturing operation, while 100 work for other divisions of Komatsu.

Historic Investment Will Go Toward Upgrading Bridges, Highways, Roads

“The 10-year $100 billion transportation plan will fund projects designed to improve congestion, maintain roadways and increase safety for our fellow Texans. AGC of Texas members stand ready to, in the words of Gov. Abbott and TTC Chair J. Bruce Bugg, Jr., ‘turn dirt.’”

“The 10-year, $100 billion transportation plan will fund projects designed to improve congestion, maintain roadways and increase safety for our fellow Texans. AGC of Texas members stand ready to, in the words of Gov. Abbott and TTC Chair J. Bruce Bugg, Jr., ‘turn dirt.’”

The proposed UTP includes:

• $18.7 billion for preventive maintenance and rehabilitation on the state highway system;

• $14 billion for strategic priority projects that improve connectivity, economic opportunity, military movement, border and port connectivity and emergency routes;

• $11.5 billion for metro and urban corridor funding that increase mobility and capacity along urban corridors;

• $10 billion for statewide rural connectivity;

• $7.8 billion for statewide urban connectivity;

• $6 billion for Texas Clear Lanes projects, which address congestion in the state’s largest metros;

• $5.8 billion for federal metropolitan mobility projects (areas with populations of 200,000 or more); and

• $4.7 billion for bridge construction, safety and rehabilitation projects.

Gov. Abbott, who was re-elected in 2022, stated, “I’m proud to announce a record $100 billion plan to strengthen and improve our transportation infrastructure. Under TxDOT’s 2024 Unified Transportation Program, we will dedicate critical funds to bolster our major roadway infrastructure to address the unique needs of Texans in rural, urban and metropolitan communities. This 10-year plan will further boost our economy and keep Texas the economic juggernaut of the nation. Together, we are working to ensure that Texas remains the premier destination for people and businesses.”

TxDOT Commission Chairman J. Bruce Bugg, Jr. shared the same sentiment.

“As the state of Texas continues to see exponential population and economic growth, this funding will help meet the needs of all Texans,” he said. “As cities grow every year, it’s important we continue to address congestion in our busiest parts of the state through our Texas Clear Lanes initiative, which is also set to get a significant boost.”

TxDOT Executive Director Marc Williams addressed the safety aspect.

“Safety is a top priority for TxDOT and these funding lev-

els reflect that,” he said. “This historic UTP allows the department to deliver on a record number of projects that are not only innovative but will help improve safety for all Texans. These efforts can and do have real impacts on our ability to drastically reduce fatalities on our roadways.”

The total proposed direct and indirect investment in safety in the 2024 UTP is approximately $17 billion, a nearly $3 billion increase over the 2023 UTP.

Texas Clear Lanes congestion relief projects also will see an increase of $1 billion over the next 10 years; urban and rural connectivity will increase by $3.4 billion; and a twoyear border projects program will increase from $60 million to $120 million. A full breakdown is available at https://ftp.txdot.gov/pub/txdot/commission/2023/0223/5presentation.pdf

“As Texas cities are continuing to grow every year, it’s important we continue to address congestion in our busiest parts of the state through our Texas Clear Lanes initiative — which is also set to get a significant boost,” Wiliams said. Currently, TxDOT has more than $33 billion in transportation projects under construction throughout the state with more than 7,000 transportation projects under way or scheduled to break ground in 2023.

Kubota, ThorSport Partner With NASCAR’s Ben Rhodes

After sponsoring the Sandusky, Ohio-based team in multiple races last season, Kubota returns as the primary sponsor for multiple races and an associate sponsor for all races, which will feature Kubota branding on other ThorSport trucks, during the 2023 season.

Kubota Tractor Corporation and ThorSport Racing announced a partnership for Kubota to become the official tractor company of ThorSport and the Official Sponsor of Ben Rhodes’ No. 99 Ford in the 2023 NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series.

After sponsoring the Sandusky, Ohiobased team in multiple races last season, Kubota returns as the primary sponsor for multiple races and an associate sponsor for allraces,whichwillfeatureKubotabranding on other ThorSport trucks, during the 2023 season.

“ThorSport Racing’s dedication, drive and commitment to become the longesttenured team in the NASCAR truck series and to do it at the highest level, day-in and day-out, exemplifies the shared values of Kubota and our hard-working customers,” said Todd Stucke, Kubota Tractor Corporation senior vice president of marketing, product support and special projects.

“When we move forward with a partnership, whether it’s on the racetrack, in the bull riding arena or in the classroom supporting the next generation of farmers, we ensure it aligns with our core business and loyal customer base, which is why we’re fired up to get those engines started with Ben and the ThorSport team.”

Rhodes, who won the 2021 NASCAR Truck Series championship, will drive the No. 99 Kubota Ford on March 3 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, April 1 at Texas Motor Speedway in Forth Worth, Texas, May 20 at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Carolina, June 3 at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill., July 22 at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Penn., and Sept. 14 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Tennessee.

“It feels great to be back with Kubota in the 2023 season,” said Rhodes, who finished second in last year’s standings. “We have some unfinished business with how close we came in the playoffs last year. I would love nothing more than to celebrate some wins with Kubota this season. It’s also been fun to see how much support we have received from Kubota owners, NASCAR fans and people within the company. I know we will have a lot of people pulling for this orange truck to make it to victory lane.”

The NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series season began Feb. 17 at Daytona International Speedway in Florida, followed by Rhodes’first race behind the wheel of the No. 99 Kubota Ford truck on March 3 in Las Vegas, which will be broadcast on FS1 at 8 p.m. CT. 

“We were excited to be back for another great Ritchie Bros. Orlando see ACPA page 54

There was no shortage of excavators at Ritchie Bros.’ 2023 Florida auction.

The auction was a great place for good friends Jerry Barrass (L) of JMB Equipment Rentals and Sales, in Marion, Ill., and James Oxford of Oxford Cranes in Dallas, Texas, to catch up while looking for equipment.

Attending the auction from Costa Rica, Diego Arrieta of Arrievi tries out this Bobcat s570 skid steer.
