Wirtgen’s Placer/Spreader Takes Lead On Paving Train

When road surfaces and paths are paved over preplaced reinforcing steel, the concrete can often only be supplied from the side. Wirtgen’s WPS 62i/WPS 62 placer/spreader is a practical choice for this application.

As the first machine in the Wirtgen paving train, it travels over the reinforcement in front of the slipform paver and texture curing machine. A truck feeds the concrete from the side, which the placer/spreader then evenly distributes over the entire working surface.

The WPS 62i/WPS 62 is available with two different scraping units: in imperial units with working widths between 12 and 24 ft. and in metric units with working widths from 4.00 to 7.5 m. With both of them, the concrete can be laid up to 20 in. (50 cm) thick.

Maximum Machine Availability

Due to Flexible Conversion

Due to the hydraulically telescoping machine frame and concrete scraper unit, the 2-track placer/spreader can be easily adapted to any job site situation. Due to its fully modular design with standard hydraulic quickchange couplings, the WPS 62i/WPS 62 also can be easily converted and quickly prepared for transport to the next location.

Standardized Operating Concept — for Entire

Wirtgen Paving Train

Operators also benefit from simple, standardized operation of the entire paving train. This is because Wirtgen’s development experts have applied the same operating used on the current series of slipform pavers and texture curing machines for the WPS 62i/WPS 62. 

CAREERS from page 1 training, we are no longer an anomaly,” said Debbie Dickinson, CEO of Crane Industry Services. “Women are gaining ground in terms of titles, respect and awareness that we can do skilled work safely and proficiently.”

Dickinson’s Villa Rica, Ga., small business is an NCCER-accredited construction training and certification sponsor.

“Women are embracing careers in this industry because the jobs are interesting, pay well and we enjoy the work,” she added.

Dickinson is one of three featured here who are opening doors for the next wave of woman to enter the field.

Part of the Solution

An assistant superintendent at Skanska USA, Johana Godoy launched her construction career as a project engineer.

Within a few months, she’d found her passion in field coordination, shifting her career path to the supervisor’s role.

Today, she is responsible for logistics planning and daily construction activities on an active airfield at San Francisco International Airport (SFO).

Initially a pre-med student, Godoybecame interested in pursuing a career in construction after visiting a project site with a family friend.

She was struck by the complexity of project planning and coordination.

“It was curiosity about how materials were picked and fabricated, to learn how design even starts,” she said.

When she became a project engineer, she realized she wanted to be part of day-to-day planning.

“I saw how complex it gets. It involves not only my project team but design, the client, project manager, the subcontractors. Being in the middle of all of those teams and bringing them together to get the design to a live aspect is what drew me.”

The work has its challenges, but sometimes it’s even harder because of inherent factors.

“Construction is challenging,” saidGodoy, but on top of that, “it’s rare to see a woman on the field side.”

One challenge is being seen as a leader in the field, the supervisor of the project.

It means “having the patience to allow the team to see the skills you bring and the knowledge you have to start seeing you as a leader,” she said.

Another challenge is proving that the solutions she presents are worth consideration.

“I have happened onto a senior supervisor and said, ‘These are the challenges I’m facing. Can you help me get my voice out there?’”

Presented by the male supervisor, the plan went through.

“It can be frustrating, but I stick to patience and allow different teams to see that the solutions I bring end up being implemented. And trust is built.”

Godoy also faces the challenge of simply being a distraction.

Women supervisors aren’t often seen in the field, and just walking on job sites brings curiosity.

“I have to readjust the focus back to the project,” she said.

Through the Skanska Women’s Network (SWN), Godoy sees beyond the challenges to the chance to create opportunities for the next woman up.

An employee resource group focused on retaining and developing women in the industry, SWN promotes and supports a gender-inclusive culture.

“The next woman needs to open doors to diversify what the typical construction field looks like now,” Godoy said.

During a Skanska supervisor development program, she chatted with a fellow supervisor working with a young project engineer drawn to the field.

“He wanted to know how I got in the field. I shared my background, spoke up about my leaders at the time. I told him if she’s interested in doing this work, give her the opportunity to run a smaller project and go from there.”

The conversation resulted in a telephone introduction between Godoy and the young woman.

“He said of me, ‘If she can do it, you definitely can do it.’ That actually reassured me,” said Godoy. “Sometimes we need a little encouragement, and it’s nice to know that me going outside the mold can open diversification in the field.”

Godoy said ultimately that she wants to

move back to the office side to learn more about cost, to ultimately achieve a senior position as an operations manager.

“Although things are constantly changing in the industry, women still have a way to go. But in SWN I have a network I can rely on if I need reassurance.”

She advises other women considering a career in construction to find their passion.

“Find the aspect of construction that interests you,” she said. “There are so many avenues, it can be overwhelming. Be curious, ask questions, speak up and don’t be afraid to say what you want and where you want to take your career. Don’t let obstacles be a block to your career.”

Using Her Voice

Skanska’s construction team at San Francisco International Airport gathers for a project meeting.

The biggest obstacle Natasha Ozybko sees for women seeking a career in the asphalt road construction sector is finding their voices.

Regional sales manager of Arkema Road Science, Ozybko believes the challenge is finding your voice in a room full of men.

“You were hired for a reason,” she said to women in the construction industry. “Your employer sees value in you. Make sure you’re heard.”

Based in Atlanta, Ga., Ozybko also is president and co-founder of Women of Asphalt (WofA).

A national coalition supporting women in all aspects of the asphalt industry, WofA offers mentoring, education and advocacy.

The organization also encourages women to seek careers in the asphalt industry.

Ozybko said when WofA was launched in 2017, there were approximately 7,000 women in the asphalt industry.

“Those of us who traveled never saw a lot of women. It almost feels like we’re coming out of the shadows now,” she said.

Today, it’s common to see women paver operators, women in asphalt labs and women project managers, she said. “The industry is acknowledging the great work we do.” Now, when she talks about women pursuing careers and gaining support in the industry, the response is one of acceptance. “Every man I talk to asks ‘What can we do?’ I tell them, ‘Support our local branch in your state.’” She said she thinks men want to encourage women. “All the men I’ve met support having women in the industry.” Currently working on her MBA, Ozybko’s career goal is to run a company. She’s a great advocate for women considering a career in the asphalt sector.

“It’s a great job to get into. It was not on my radar, and it’s not the sexy job people are looking for.”

But, she pointed out, “You don’t have to have a degree” to carve out a successful career in the industry.

“Or, you can have a PhD,” she added. “There’s room for everyone and a job for every skillset.”
