One year after the March 2018 start date on Houston’s new $1 billion Ship Channel Bridge, workers have finished the drill shaft foundation for the southern main pylon, and were just two weeks away from completing the main northern pylon.

“There’s not much to see right now,” said Matt of reinforcement Kainer, maintenance and Installation for a southbound North construction engineering approach pier footing. assistant director of the Harris County Toll Road Authority. “But we’re working towards it. It will ultimately be the southbound lanes built first next to the existing bridge, then we’ll shift traffic to the new bridge, demolish the existing bridge, then build the other half right next to it. The first part is to construct the foundation for two main pylons. It’s taken us about a year to do those just because they are so numerous, so large and so deep. On the approaches, we are actually out of the ground and have columns and caps coming up on the north approach.”

With the kickoff of the Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s interchange improvements in Sallisaw, so began the highest-dollar project in ODOT’s eastern central district, also known as Division 1. The $42 million project, awarded to Sherwood Construction of Tulsa, includes bridge rehabilitation and replacements as well as surface and interchange work.

nestled between Sallisaw Creek and Little Sallisaw Creek on the southern edge of the Ozark

Jim Cnossen can easily pinpoint where the dairy industry bloodlines began on his dad’s side of the family.

His father started milking cows before Jim was born and eventually established his own operation. On the other hand, it’s a little harder to determine how deep his mom, Clara’s, roots run.

“We aren’t sure how far back dairy farming goes in her family, who moved to the United States from Holland after World War II — definitely multiple generations,” said Cnossen, owner of Cnossen Dairy in Hereford, Texas. “I grew up around dairying, and my wife, Ellie, and I both still enjoy it. Our kids do too, and they are active participants in the business.” The entire Cnossen family is active in Cnossen Dairy’s operations, includTheir son, Cord, recently graduated ing Owner Jim Cnossen, who oversees the business, and his wife, Ellie, who from college and joined the business looks after the health of the cows and helps with inventorying calves. Their Cord, joined the dairy full-time after his college graduation and full-time. Daughter Evie, who is a son, daughter, Evie, is in high school and hopes to work with animal nutrition sophomore in high school, helps out in the future. and has ambitions to work in animal nutrition someday. Ellie looks after the health of the cows and lends a hand with inventorying calves.

Jim Cnossen oversees day-to-day activities of the dairy, which commenced operations in Texas in 2005 after the family moved from Idaho where he, his brothers and their father had previously operated dairy farms. They relocated to Idaho from Southern California where his dad leased a dairy and milked until the early 1970s.

Cnossen Dairy currently milks in the neighborhood of 8,000 head — each twice a day. It recently added a second milking barn that will handle 5,000 cows. An older facility contains two milking parlors, one that accommodates about 1,000 head per day, and the other up to 5,000.

The Cnossens expect the milking number to hit 12,000 in the near future. Currently, the dairy ships 600,000 lbs. of cooled, raw milk daily. That equates to about 70,000 gal.

Nearly a year ago, Cnossen Dairy added four 34,000-lb.-plus, 165-hp Komatsu WA320-8 wheel loaders to fill stationary mixers and mixer trucks with feed. “The loaders sped up our operations and increased our efficiency by between 20 and 30 percent,” said Jim Cnossen, owner.

™

“This is a 24-hour-a-day operation,” Cnossen said. “There are two shifts of milkers and feeders; three shifts for personnel looking after pregnant cows in the maternity area; and one each for shop, office and general farm staff. Right now, we have close to 70 employees. That number will rise as we expand, and so will our production, which should reach 100,000 gallons per day in about a year.”

Britt Stubblefield (L), Kirby-Smith Machinery territory manager, assisted Jim Cnossen, Cnossen Dairy owner with the purchase of four WA320-8 wheel loaders. “We have come to expect great service from Britt and Kirby-Smith,” said Cnossen. “Our relationship has grown because the equipment is good, and they stand behind it.”

Tech ‘knowledge’y Technology plays a prominent role in Cnossen Dairy’s operations, especially in its new facility, where cows are put on a revolvsee DAIRY page 72

GSK Expands in Montana GSK announced $100 million of new investment in its manufacturing site in Hamilton, Mont., to expand the production capacity of key components of the adjuvant system used in several of GSK’s vaccines, including SHINGRIX, which was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in October 2017.

For more than 20 years, GSK has been innovating in adjuvant systems and has developed vaccines to help prevent malaria and shingles that utilize adjuvant systems to help achieve a stronger immune response.

The Hamilton vaccines facility currently manufactures components of GSK’s essential adjuvant technologies, which this investment will expand further.

“For more than a decade, our Hamilton facility has supported GSK’s adjuvant system development program,” said Jack Bailey, president, US Pharmaceuticals, GSK. “By expanding the adjuvant system production capabilities in Hamilton, we will continue to deliver long-term and sustainable supply for key vaccines, including SHINGRIX.”

GSK is dedicated to investing in and supporting communities by creating high-quality jobs in areas like R&D and manufacturing. Over the next few years, the Hamilton site expansion is expected to add a combination of temporary construction and contracting jobs, as well as new permanent positions, including scientists, engineers and manufacturing and quality professionals.

“Thanks to the bi-partisan support of Governor Steve Bullock and the congressional delegation — Senators Jon Tester and Steve Daines and Representative Greg Gianforte — Montana is emerging as a hub for the biotechnology industry,” said Bailey.

“GSK is grateful for their leadership and the opportunity they have given us to create new jobs and expand our footprint in the state.”

Hamilton is one of nine GSK manufacturing sites in the United States, and 86 sites globally, that produce a variety of prescription medicines, vaccines and consumer healthcare products.

$453M Vermont Corridor Development Revitalizes Area Hathaway Dinwiddie Vermont Construction Team photo

Hathaway Dinwiddie Vermont Construction Team photo

The $453 million, three-site development plan includes a 21-story glass building that will serve as headquarters for the Department of Mental Health and Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services.

By Cindy Riley CEG CORRESPONDENT

The cost of construction will utilize tax-exempt and federally taxable bonds via 63-20 tax-exempt financing.

As part of a public/private partnership that will provide a home for Los Angeles County employees and revitalize communities, construction crews continue work along the Vermont Corridor. The $453 million, three-site development plan includes a 21-story glass building that will serve as headquarters for the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and Workforce Development, Aging and Community Services (WDACS).

“The team has spent the last two years programming and shaping this

project to meet the needs of the county, while creating a project that will both transform the neighborhood and provide much needed services to DMH and WDACS within this community,” said Nancy Moses, Trammell Crow Company (TCC) senior vice president.

“It’s exciting to see their amazing work come to life.”

The plans call for a terrace level indoor/outdoor meeting space that can accommodate up to 300 people, a county employee fitness center, wellness center and quick-service retail. Upon completion of the new Vermont Corridor County Administration building, the existing DMH headquarters

building will be converted into 172 market rate multifamily units, and up to 4,100 sq. ft. of retail and commercial space. Site 3 will offer 72 affordable housing units for seniors and a street level community center, a satellite to the Anderson Munger’s Family YMCA. Demolition started in December, with construction beginning this spring.

A great deal of planning and coordination was required to bring the entire project to life.

“As part of the pre-development process, TCC was tasked with programming a 12-story office tower, on see COMMUNITY page 23

Patients Become ‘The Boss’ at Construction vs. Cancer SoCal

L

et’s face it … all kids like to play in the dirt.

But, to play in the dirt, on a big machine, with your parents’ permission? Well, that’s when dreams really do come true and that’s exactly what took place April 28, 2019, at the American Cancer Society’s 2019 Construction vs. Cancer SoCal event in Anaheim, Calif., at Angel Stadium.

The event was designed to offer local pediatric cancer patients, survivors and families a day of fun and entertainment. The children, with adult supervision, were given the opportunity to experience driving, riding and operating several pieces of heavy construction equipment, such as excavators, loaders, trucks and scissor lifts.

Dozens of local equipment and construction companies were there to lend a hand.

Sunstate Equipment, based in Phoenix, Ariz., with a local branch in Anaheim, Calif., was happy to donate excavators, scissor lifts, parts and generators for the event. Brooks Davis, who manned the scissor lift, had a

more personal reason to be there.

“As a cancer survivor myself, this means a lot to me,” he said. “Just being able to watch the kids have fun makes it all worth it.

It’s funny … the kids love going up in the lift and they have no fear, but with some of the adults … it’s a different story. I have to stop it early.”

Sukut Construction of Orange County supplied a Caterpillar wheel loader and personnel to assist.

“Sukut always strives to make a difference, whether it’s on a project or within a community,” said Yevgenya Koch of Sukut Construction. “We look for things we can do to make the world around us a better place.

Knowing that the American Cancer Society is one of the largest non-profits that fight cancer and has played a huge role in saving more than 1.5 million lives in the past two decades, we decided to join them so that we, too, can contribute to increasing this number.

It was amazing to watch the kids’ reactions.

The kids loved the loader. Most of the kids in our area have never had a chance to sit

inside one of these machines. Being able to climb inside and learn how to operate it made a huge difference in their experience.

Seeing their faces when they were inside was a huge reward for us.”

Darin Janikowski of Cemex’s local branch in Ontario, Calif., was excited to be a firsttime sponsor of the American Cancer Society.

“It means a lot to us to be here today helping in any way possible to benefit the organization,” said Janikowski. “It’s been a great day. The kids are excited to get in the truck cabs and blow the horn.”

The fun did not stop there. The festivities also included live musical and dance acts, superhero appearances, Star Wars characters, face painters, a giant sand box and much more. The Orange County SWAT team, Anaheim Police Department and Anaheim Fire Department also were on hand providing helmet fittings and bike safety tips.

For many local pediatric cancer patients and their families, it was the first time to experience an event with such a large

involvement from the construction industry.

Melissa and Brandon Davies of Orange County brought their eight-year-old son, Jack, to the event to experience the equipment up close.

“I’ve been working with Southland Industries for about five years and in the construction industry for about 15 years,” said Brandon Davies. “About three years ago, Jack was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Tragedy hit home really hard and fast. The construction industry and Southland, in particular, have really been there for me and my family to help us get through a very hard time. Southland is like family to us and has always been there with their support. My union has supported us and people we didn’t even know have reached out to us. We thought this would be a great opportunity for Jack to come out and see what Dad does for a living.”

“We are fortunate in that the event is fully supported through our sponsor donations and contributions from the construction see CONSTRUCTION page 24

New California Rail Plan Pegs Central Valley Line at $18.3B

By Kathleen Ronayne ASSOCIATED PRESS

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California’s reworked plan for a high-speed train estimates an $18.3 billion price tag to complete 171 mi. (275 kM) of track in the Central Valley by 2028, nearly a decade later than the initial estimate for a much longer Los Angeles-to-San Francisco line.

State rail officials issued an update to the delay-plagued project on May 1, offering the first formal look at changes suggested in February by Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.

Officials had been focused on building a segment from the Central Valley to San Francisco, but had not yet come up with enough money to tunnel through a mountain pass.

Now the focus is shifting to first building a line from Bakersfield to Merced. The update stresses completing the full line is still the ultimate goal, something Newsom wants.

“This policy recommendation is not a Central Valley line instead of Silicon Valley to Central Valley line,” it reads. “It is a Central Valley line first.”

The report does not offer a revised analysis of the timeline and cost for the entire project, slated last year to cost $77 billion and be completed by 2033.

However, it does show a cost increase of $1.8 billion to

construction that’s already under way to a total of $12.4 billion, roughly double initial projections.

It’s been more than a decade since California voters approved nearly $10 billion in bond funding for the project.

Its cost has steadily climbed since.

The update also reveals a train through the Central Valley won’t generate enough money to cover the operations and maintenance costs. That’s a problem for the state, which is bound by the ballot measure to operate a rail line without a subsidy.

Russ Fong, the project’s outgoing chief financial officer, said the state will hire an outside train operator to avoid running afoul of the bond measure. Such a move is likely to prompt lawsuits.

Republican Assemblyman Jim Patterson of Fresno, a critic of the project, said he has lost trust in commitments by rail officials.

“They’re making it up as they go along. That’s what I’ve concluded,” he said. “How can we have confidence in what they are going to do in the next 10 years when they have failed to meet every single benchmark over the last 10 years?”

Newsom addressed the project’s longstanding problems earlier this year.

“Right now, there simply isn’t a path to get from Sacramento to San Diego, let alone from San Francisco to LA. I wish there were,” he said. “However, we do have the capacity to complete a high-speed rail link between Merced and Bakersfield.”

Money for the project comes from the bond, the federal government and revenue from a state program that charges polluters that emit greenhouse gases. The Trump administration has threatened to revoke the $3.5 billion in federal money because of the project’s delays, but a final decision has not been made. Rail officials said they have enough money to complete the line if the state keeps that federal money and if roughly $4 billion left in bond money is released.

Brian Kelly, the project’s chief executive officer, said the report demonstrates a clear path forward.

“This approach will help us ultimately connect a revitalized Central Valley to the Bay Area and Southern California,” he said in a statement.

There are still questions for rail officials to answer about the new Merced to Bakersfield line, such as where the station will be located in Merced, how many people are expected to ride the train and how it will work alongside existing bus and train services. The costs and timeline of the project could change again in the next business plan. 

top of a podium parking structure and project amenities, to support DMH and WDACS,” said Moses. “This included consolidation of departments from multiple sites and areas within Los Angeles to provide a building that will invigorate Koreatown, activate the corner of Vermont and Sixth and provide a Class-A, state-of-the-art facility that will serve as the headquarters for these two county departments.”

In addition to the developer, key players include Los Angeles County Facilities Inc.; Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company; architect Gensler; the Community Development Commission; and Los Angeles County Public Works.

Construction on the Vermont Corridor County Administration Building began in early August 2018, and is scheduled to be completed by October 2021. To finance the tower, the county entered into a ground lease with Los Angeles County Facilities Inc. (LACF). The cost of construction will utilize tax-exempt and federally taxable bonds via 63-20 tax-exempt financing. Bonds were issued in the amount of $305 million for the construction of the building.

Moses noted that from a strategic standpoint, the project will require a phased construction approach to deliver an adjacent parking structure.

“In order to commence construction on the adjacent parking structure, the team will need to obtain a TCO on a portion of the 21story building, the podium parking structure, to allow DMH and WDACS to park in the podium parking structure while the adjacent parking structure is being constructed. To deliver both projects at the same time, the schedule is driven by the initial TCO.” According to Michael Volk, Gensler principal | design director, “The vision of the project proposes to evolve the singular, civic presence of the legacy of public institutional buildings in Los Angeles into a contemporary expression. The aspiration is one of civic presence without extravagance, while representing attributes of transparency and openness to the community, energy consciousness, high functionality and a healthful working environment.”

Said Volk, “Consolidating the departments into one structure is the operational/business driver of the project, for the users though this coming together will have huge cultural benefits that may also improve the well-being of the Mental Health Department, especially also moving into a vibrant upcoming neighborhood such as Koreatown.

“Koreatown is having a renaissance, with many residents and businesses moving into the neighborhood,” said Volk. “With an increasing cultural diversity, Koreatown is

becoming one of the most vibrant neighborhoods in Los Angeles, while staying true to its roots. The adjacency to the Wilshire/Vermont station makes the location of the project further attractive, having access to a major public transportation artery.”

Volk said creating a modern structure was important for several reasons.

“Considering itself as a contemporary evolution of the legacy of civic buildings in Los Angeles, the design solution communicates values of timelessness, resiliency, transparency and well-being, as enabled by an energy performance driven concept. For the users, our goal is to provide a modern

ensure a safe and productive site with very little room.

“The project site previously included an abandoned and red-tagged one-story building, a two-story office structure and surface parking lot built on uncertified fill.”

The space involves a complex substructure with varying levels and a concrete podium structure that transitions to structural steel office tower. The design decision saved time in the schedule.

Mass excavation consisted of cutting the site to the required grade. No over excavation and compaction was needed, due to the structural slab on grade supported by a deep foundation. More than 11,000 yds. of soil has been removed from the project, generated from grading, foundation and utility trenches.

Equipment being used on the job includes a Liebherr 550 tower crane, with rebar and concrete, structural steel, high performance glazing units among the materials required.

Major construction milestones include concrete podium parking structure completion and subsequent TCO, which will allow the commencement of the adjacent parking structure, as well as structural steel erection, curtain wall installation, MEP equipment and fit-out, tenant improvement build-out, furniture installation and commissioning and project delivery.

In a Community Development Commission news release, Mark RidleyThomas, a member of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors for the 2nd District, said, “The Vermont Corridor Project represents our commitment to revitalizing the communities that are home to county facilities and services. In addition to supporting a robust and thriving community, we are also supporting our own.

“Every year, LACDMH and WDACS help tens of thousands of residents. Through these state-of-the-art county facilities, LACDMH and WDACS employees will be able to deliver improved services — from prevention to recovery — and assist their clients in taking the first steps on a journey toward healing and self-sufficiency.”  CEG

Vice president of Southland Industries, Payman Farrokhyar added, “We wanted to show the softer side of construction. We all are affected by cancer one way or another.

What people don’t realize is the construction industry is a very giving industry. The fact that we could pull this event together so quickly speaks volumes for the industry.”

Melissa and Brandon Davies of Orange County brought their eight-year-old son, Jack, to the event to experience the equipment up close.

“Today is all about the pediatric cancer patients,” said Daniels. “We wanted to provide a fun day for the families and just have a great time. A lot of times they can’t do fun things, so today is really about them.”

Daniels attributed the success of the event to the volunteers and sponsors. Organizing for the event started in November 2018 and involved several hundred volunteer hours.

“If you’re going to speak with any industry about logistics and planning, there is no

better industry than the construction industry,” said Daniels.

Volvo CE’s EC750E HR Excavator Offers ‘Exceptional’ Reach, Flexibility The EC750E HR high-reach excavator from Volvo Construction Equipment offers exceptional reach, with a maximum pin height of 118 ft. (36 m), and also can be easily reconfigured using extensions and different boom sets to become a multi-use demolition tool.

“The EC750E HR is based on our popular EC750E crawler excavator but has been substantially re-engineered for high-reach deconstruction purposes with a heavier and wider undercarriage and factory-fitted guarding,” said Walter Reeves, sales manager of demolition products at Volvo Construction Equipment. “The features on this machine give it the power, stability and versatility contractors need to tackle some of the most challenging, largescale demolition projects.”

More Machine, More Possibility Volvo’s hydraulic modular joint concept uses a two-pin hydraulic lock mechanism to allow the high reach to be changed into a digging configuration with only one person in less than an hour, according to the manufacturer.

The EC750E HR also has a second hydraulic modular joint on the extension boom, allowing the angle of both the extension and the digging boom to be set quickly and safely between bent and straight configurations.

Three Boom Options The EC750E HR brings added flexibility with its two high-reach demolition boom sets and one digging boom set with an extension: • High-reach boom with a 118-ft. maximum pin height while carrying a tool of up to 8,000 lbs. (3,628 kg) • High-reach boom with an 85-ft. (26 m) maximum pin height while carrying Compared to the EC750E, the undercarriage of the EC750E HR is 1 ft. 9 in.

A strengthened hydraulic removal system also (4.4 m) extension allows for a 59-ft. (18 m) pin height means the complete counterweight can be removed in one movement.

Every Paving Contractor Has Stories to Tell

By Eric Olson CEG CORRESPONDENT

It might be hard to believe, but veteran paving contractors do have tales of adventure attached to most of the road projects they have worked on. How could they not?

Over the past century, paving contractors have created millions of miles of paved roads and surfaces in the United States.

In most cases, they can recall the outstanding performance of the equipment they used to get the job done right.

Many prestigious companies manufacture the various pavers used today, as well as the screeds, compaction equipment and milling machines. Among them are Caterpillar, Volvo, Terex Bid-Well, Bomag, GOMACO, Wirtgen and Vögele.

Terex Bid-Well Lends Expertise to Bridge The elegant new cable-stayed Gerald Desmond Bridge in Long Beach, Calif., is supported by a pair of 515-ft. towers, which will make it one of the tallest in the United States when finished late this year. The $828 million replacement span carries traffic from the port of Long Beach, from which approximately 15 percent of the country’s imported ship cargo is moved to other destinations.

The 1.6-mi. bridge will include three traffic lanes in each direction, plus an emergency lane each way.

It will also have a 205-ft. vertical clearance — 50 ft. higher than the old structure — to accommodate the sizes of modern cargo ships that pass underneath.

Shimmick Construction, based in Oakland, is building the segmented bridge in a joint venture with a Spanish and an Italian contractor (SFI JV).

Shimmick Construction paved the cable-stayed Gerald Desmond Bridge in Long Beach, Calif., with its Terex Bid-Well 3600 and 2450 pavers.

The contractors have paved more than three-fourths of the bridge’s 1 million ft. of deck using their Terex Bid-Well 3600 and 2450 pavers.

“We paved at widths ranging from 50 to 90 feet wide with our 3600 pavers, and some of the pours required us to vary the paving width,” said Mike Tung, the upperand lower-approach bridge manager of Shimmick. “The 3600 paver’s end segments are built to accommodate up to 30 feet of onthe-fly paving width changes.”

When problems arose on the deck paving, Terex Bid-Well quickly dispatched Jason McCann, one of its top service engineers, to Long Beach to watch the operation and make recommendations on how to boost paving quality.

He noted that at times, too much wet concrete would run under the paving carriage’s Rota-Vibe and dual rollers, causing smoothness to suffer. That led McCann to offer Shimmick’s crew advice on setting up the paving carriage’s augers.

Tung was pleased with the various pieces of expert advice offered

by McCann, who also worked with Shimmick to adjust both the Terex Bid-Well 3600 and 2450 pavers on site.

“Jason made some very good observations,” said Tung, who saw immediate dividends from McCann’s presence on site. “The paving process for the eastbound lanes is going a lot smoother, and we are getting a much better product and higher quality.”

Cat’s 3D Pavers Help Flatten NFL Stadium With the skyline of downtown Minneapolis behind it, U.S. Bank Stadium was built in time for the 2016 home opener of the NFL’s Minnesota Vikings. Just 18 months later, the spectacular new arena played host to Super Bowl LII. But, before any of that could happen, the building contractors for the stadium had to ensure that the asphalt base underneath the football field itself was as flat as

possible.

Minneapolis-based Park Construction took on the challenge and placed an asphalt mat at the stadium that varied less than 1/8 of an in. over a 10-by-10-ft. area the entire length and width of the field.

“There were a lot of eyes on us,” admitted John Lenarz, Park’s paving supervisor and superintendent. “We were doing something that nobody had done before — putting an asphalt layer down underneath an athletic field.”

The imposing project was made easier, though, when Park saw how quickly it could place a high-quality surface by using Cat 3D paving in tandem with older Caterpillar equipment.

Seventy-five tons of aggregate had to be removed from the bowl prior to the asphalt paving. Park then graded it to elevation, a process that needed to be finished within one week. By using a Cat 160M motorgrader outfitted with 3D grading, though, Park completed that part of the work in three and

a half days.

Cat’s 3D paving system utilizes the Trimble Total Station and software on board the paver to compare the screed position and slope with a digital design of the project.

A Cat AP1055E paver with an AS2302C screed laid down the mix at the urban work site. Each machine was integrated with a Trimble AccuGrade PCS900, which does all the required 3D calculations before transmitting the information to the 2D paver.

To aid in the effort, Park also employed a Cat CB66B steel drum roller, a Cat PS360C rubber tire roller and a CB64 roller, along with a 3-ton Cat CB24B roller for the breakdown, finish and touch-up work.

“It was smooth, not a roller mark or anything,” beamed Shawn Bloch, Park Construction’s GPS survey manager. “The Cat 3D paving system gave us the flattest, smoothest surface I’ve ever seen. It looked just perfect.”

But, before any player could step on the field, Park’s work also had to pass muster with the NFL, which had its own inspectors test the mat’s flatness with a 10-ft.-long straight edge in late April 2016.

“When [an inspector] started pushing the straight-edge up the joint, which is potentially our worst spot, he just started raving about the quality of work,” said Paul Plieses, Park’s project superintendent. “Then it was high fives and handshakes throughout our entire group.”

pavers has provided customers with such inventive products as the efficient CR662RM RoadMix machine, a versatile item that works as both a paver and a material transfer vehicle.

But to many contractors and dealers, the rubber-tracked CR662RM’s ability in handling an impressive range of paving skills has branded it as a “specialized” piece of equipment better for high-profile road projects, airports or mainline paving, where stringent specs demand the use of such a machine.

Towanda, Kan.-based Dustrol Inc., has bucked this line of thinking, however, and expanded the use of its “specialized” pavers for years. The innovative asphalt contractor uses its Bomag/Cedarapids CR662RM Remix machines for a hot-in-place (HIR) recycle process.

A few years ago, while recycling a stretch of Kansas highway that received two chipseal treatments, one of Dustrol’s five HIR crews was having a particularly difficult time achieving the result it wanted with its slat paver.

“Chip seal sets up fast and doesn’t flow well, and the aggregate showed some signs of stripping,” recalled Brian Hansen, presi-

dent of Dustrol.

The company experimented with replacing its slat paver with the CR662RM, which features a combination of counter-rotating augers inside the hopper, as well as an outboard spreading auger drive to eliminate center gearbox and centerline segregation issues.

By applying the Roadmix’s features to the Kansas roadway recycling project, Dustrol’s issues on site were resolved, including problems with the aggregate stripping.

Since that first project using the Remix auger paver, Dustrol has added a CR662RM machine to four of its five HIR trains.

GOMACO Helps Dream Come True Hannah Bowden admits there are few women like her who own their own paving companies and also operate the equipment.

But, as the head of Curb Time Solutions in Russellville, Ark., she notes that it’s a family company in which her father, Jim and brother, James, each play crucial roles. A veteran paver, Jim Bowden mentors her through the intricacies of concrete slipform paving.

So, when it was time to order Curb Time Solutions’ first concrete slipform paver, the Bowdens purchased a new GOMACO 3300

in early 2018 — and in the process realized Hannah’s dream of running her own slipform paving company.

“The reason we went with the 3300 is because of its ability to pour multiple things,” Hannah explained. “Not only can we trim and pour curb and gutter with it, we can also do sidewalk, barrier wall, and bridge parapet.”

Upon delivery, Hannah first had to learn how to operate the new 3300 and put concrete through the paver so that she could truly become a hands-on business owner.

In preparation for the first pour, Jim had created a practice course at home where he could teach her how to operate the 3300 with its G+ control system. Additional support was provided to Hannah from the GOMACO service rep on site during the first week of paving.

It took a few tries before she became completely comfortable using the paver.

“My first day with the machine, though, I poured close to 2,600 feet of curb and gutter,” Hannah said.

That done, she put the GOMACO concrete slipform paver to work on a project in nearby Clarksville, Ark., that encompassed 15,600 ft. of two different types of curb and gutter, as well as 8,200 ft. of 10-ft.-wide

sidewalk.

The 3300 model’s symmetrical configuration is designed to be a right-side and leftside pour capable paver. Hannah and her crew immediately put the paver’s right-side pour capabilities to the test on the first day’s pour. Later, they reconfigured components of the paver to do the sidewalk.

In the end, the Clarksville project came off as expected for both the city and Curb Time Solutions.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Hannah with pride.

“You don’t see female operators and owners very often, but here I am!”

MANUFACTURERS from page 38

“They are incredible products,” Johnson continued. “Their technology leads the rest of the industry, and they have led the charge for cold mills and reclaimers.”

Midstate recently used one of its new Wirtgen 8-ft. 2-in. W 220 cold mills to remove aged asphalt from Wisconsin State Route 13 between Bayfield and Ashland, along the Lake Superior shoreline. The 10.7mi. project involved two 12-ft. driving lanes, with 6-ft. shoulders on either side.

“Wirtgen’s Level Pro system on the large W 220 cold-milling machine kept the milling profile on target,” said Mike Swing, project manager/estimator of Midstate. “The Level Pro is the best control system I’ve worked with. We’ve never had a grade-control issue when we’ve run Level Pro.” Cameras at the end of the conveyor, as well as at the rear of the machine for backup visibility, make views into the truck hopper and rear of the cold mill easily available from the operator’s platform.

Vögele Paver Has Solution for Cold Joints The problem of deteriorating longitudinal “cold” joints between parallel one-lane lifts of asphalt has long perplexed pavement owners. Located between paved lanes, these joints quickly degrade and permit water to enter the pavement, leading to debonding, delamination, long-joint patches and potholes.

The best solution is to eliminate the longitudinal joint by paving two lanes wide, as demonstrated on Illinois State Route 50 near Monee, just south of the Chicago metro area.

There, Gallagher Asphalt Corp., a ninedecades-old company with three Illinois offices, placed a Superpave HMA friction course over two lanes. Gallagher followed that up by utilizing a new Vögele Super 2000-3i paver in tandem with the maker’s VF 600 screed. The result was an attractive mat that should resist moisture infiltration and deterioration for years to come.

Placing two lanes with one paver at the same time also is more productive for a contractor.

“Paving wide eliminates the lane joint and provides a smoother ride,” said Don Gallagher, operations engineer of the asphalt contractor. “It also allows us to complete the job faster as we make one pass instead of two.”

Contractor, Volvo Team Up for Offbeat Jobs Hayden Paving, a 20-year-old Texas company, has a bit of a reputation for taking on less-than-ordinary projects.

“I would call us a ‘specialty paver,’” said Michael Henry, project manager and estima-

tor of Hayden, which has locations in Houston and San Antonio. “Some contractors will call different asphalt material suppliers in town and say, ‘Hey, we have this really difficult or weird job we need done,’ and a lot of times the suppliers will say to them, ‘You need to call Hayden Paving because that is what they do.’”

APTIM, the global engineering and construction company, must have made such a call because last March, the firm tasked Hayden Paving with milling and paving the narrow, single-lane roadway along the top of the dam at the Lewis Creek Reservoir, near Willis, in southeast Texas. The dam and reservoir are owned by Entergy Corp.

Hayden Paving relies on Volvo paving equipment to do its many jobs precisely and efficiently. To assist in that effort, their Volvo dealer is ROMCO Inc. with locations across the Lone Star State.

The paving contractor brought several pieces of Volvo equipment to the job site.

Included were Volvo’s P7170B Blaw-Knox wheeled paver, a DD110 asphalt compactor, a PT125C compactor and the smaller DD25 and DD30 rollers.

Hayden began the work by milling the old asphalt on the top of the dam, which encompassed 2½ mi. of the existing road surface.

Following that, the crew put down 3 in. of hot-mix asphalt. In all, the company brought in and placed 4,500 tons of Type D asphalt to re-establish the road.

But a couple challenges had to be met before Hayden could complete its work, he added.

“We only had two points of access, so everything had to be backed down the dam’s road,” he continued. “There was an access point on one end and a middle point, but the other end of the narrow road was blocked by a spillway. We also had a lake on one side and a sloping hill on the other. It’s pretty unusual that you have to back in trucks single file that far to a site.”

The project specs also called for a 2 percent crown in the 17½-ft.-wide roadway, Henry said, with the shoulder of the road being 2 ft. wide and crowned 7 percent.

Despite running up against those demands, Henry said, “As it turned out, the biggest challenge were the side crowns because we had to have special inserts manufactured to put inside our screed to get that 7 percent crown on the outside edge.”

Yet Hayden successfully finished the project at the dam in less than a week and, although it was the first time the company had worked with APTIM, the two firms have since collaborated on other projects.

And, of course, Henry said, any job his crews take on will continue to involve Volvo equipment. He considers them integral to Hayden Paving’s future prosperity.  CEG

BOULDER (AP) Colorado agencies overseeing a road construction project west of Boulder that includes blasting are taking care to not disturb golden eagles that nest in the area.

The Daily Camera reported that rock blasting was set for the lower Boulder Canyon along Colorado 119.

Multiple agencies have pooled their knowledge and worked together to minimize any impacts the blasting might have on the raptors. Blasting is expected to occur twice weekly through August.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife spokesman Jason Clay said state wildlife biologists determined that there is a low chance of impacting the eagle nests through currently proposed construction plans and timing.

But Clay said there will be monitoring done throughout the project to see how it is affecting the birds. 

R&J Utility Teams Up With Westrax for Equipment Needs

Currently, R&J Utility is working on the Verrado housing development in Buckeye, Ariz. This development started around 10 or 15 years ago and has seen tremendous growth thus far.

John Petersen, vice president of Glendale, Ariz.-based R&J Utility, was in a bind. With a slew of projects building up, R&J was in desperate need for a few water trucks.

“We were three months into business, and we were struggling to find some water trucks,” said Petersen. “I spoke to one of the local equipment dealers who said he didn’t have any, but said he might know of a company that did.”

That company was Westrax Machinery, a Southern Californiabased dealer that had just recently opened a location in Phoenix.

Petersen called Westrax’s Marcel Gerits and had the trucks delivered that day.

Within a week of receiving a pair of water trucks, R&J had another project: a difficult trench dig coming up that required the versatility of an excavator. They immediately thought to call Westrax.

“We had gotten such a quick response before, they were the first ones we thought of,” said Peterson.

Again, Westrax came through with flying colors: within a few short hours R&J had a Hitachi wheel loader and a Kobelco 50,000-lb. and 75,000-lb. excavator delivered to the site. Another crisis averted.

No stranger to struggles, Petersen had originally opened up for business in 1996, but due to recession, had to close in 2008.

“It was rough,” he said. “The building sector was down, the economy was down, we had no choice but to step back.”

Fast track to 2016. The market had rebounded and there was a tremendous amount of opportunity in Phoenix and the surrounding areas. Roberto Arteaga, president

R&J Utility officially opened its doors for business in October 2017 and specializes in laying and repairing of sewer, water and storm drains for residential developments in Maricopa County.

(L-R): Marcel Gerits of Westrax Machinery; Roberto Arteaga, president R&J Utility; and John Petersen, vice president R&J Utility.

of R&J Utility, having previously worked with Petersen, approached him about starting a new company together. Petersen thought it was a great idea, and in November 2016, he reinstated his license.

They officially opened their doors for business in October 2017 and specialized in laying and repairing of sewer, water and storm drains for residential developments in Maricopa County.

Currently, the company is working on the Verrado housing development in Buckeye, Ariz. This development started around 10 or 15 years ago and has seen tremendous growth thus far. So far they’ve only experienced a few hiccups.

“We did have some hard digs on a parcel out there,” Petersen said.

“The ground was tough, deep and rocky. We had to call Westrax and get larger excavator with a heavier bucket to get through that stuff.

Other than that, everything is running really smoothly.”

Rain also has caused a few minor delays, but even with that, Petersen expected the job to be done on schedule.

While most of the technology has stayed the same, some things have changed in the industry for Petersen and Arteaga since their original start-up.

Staffing is more of a challenge than it used it be.

“We’ve been pretty fortunate so

far,” said Arteaga. “A lot of the original guys that worked with us at the last company came back as soon as we opened up R&J Utility.

Because of our years in the business, we were lucky to get guys with 10 to 15 years of experience.

That really comes into play when bidding.”

“More local competition as well,” added Petersen.

As R&J Utility has now grown to 35 employees, its need for more equipment has grown, as well. The relationship with Westrax has only gotten stronger.

“At any given time we have about eight to 10 of their pieces of equipment on our job sites,” Arteaga said. “We have never considered going anywhere else.

They’ve got a great selection at

competitive rates. Whether it’s an excavator, loader or another piece of equipment, we’ve never been disappointed. They take real good care of us.”

Arteaga is looking toward the future with confidence.

“From the beginning, we’ve committed to giving our customers the best service we can,” he said.

“Getting the job done right and on schedule. Making sure that our response time is generally within 24 hours. As long as the market stays strong, we’ll just keep looking for new business and opportunities.”

For more information about R&J Utility, call 623/266-9585.

For more information about Westrax Machinery, call Marcel Gerits at 602/397-8173. CEG

JR Ramone, OilQuick Meet Deadline With Time to Spare

Phase I of TxDOT’s Loop 1604 Bridge over Pat Booker Road replacement project was on a tight schedule.

By Katherine Devlin CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT

Phase I of TxDOT’s Loop 1604 Bridge over Pat Booker Road replacement project was on a tight schedule. Plans call for the removal of the inside lanes of both north and southbound mainlanes of Loop 1604. New, expanded lanes are being constructed. In Phase II, the remaining mainlanes in both directions will be demolished and replaced.

The object of the project is to improve traffic flow in both directions, which is known to back up during rush hours and cause long delays.

TxDOT’s strategy is to have minimal impact on the traveling public. Therefore, contractor Flatiron Construction and demolition specialists JR Ramon Demolition of San Antonio, Texas, were given a timeline of a 53-hour closure of Pat Booker Road and a 12-hour closure of Loop 1604 for Phase I demolition. A monumental task.

“The crew needs to work together like a well oiled machine right from the start, no room for hiccups, or downed equipment,” said Tim Ramon of JR Ramon

Crews removed and recycled approximately 1,500 tons of concrete and asphalt and approximately 100 tons of rebar and metal I-Beam used in the bridge reinforcement.

“If there’s new technology we can invest in to keep the crew working in a safer and more efficient manner we don’t hesitate,” said Tim Ramon of JR Ramon Demolition.

Demolition plans on Phase I of TxDOT’s bridge project call for the removal of the inside lanes of both north and southbound mainlanes of Loop 1604.

Demolition.

On March 1, the intersection was closed at 9 p.m. JR Ramon had a total of 40 crew members over four 12-hour shifts, working continuously until the job was complete — the 12-hour requirement was met with an hour to spare.The overall demolition phase was completed in 34 hours, 19 hours ahead of schedule..

Many factors contributed to an early completion.

Crews used specialized demolition equipment to break, rip, segregate and load various materials. Six demolition excavators were equipped with the OilQuick hydraulic coupling system, allowing the machines to use multiple attachments throughout the demolition process. OilQuick’s coupler allows for the operator to switch tools without leaving the machine.

With the OilQuick hydraulic coupling system, changing tools takes minutes and allows the right attachment for the job to be at hand. This makes it possible to maximize productivity of the excavators without having to mobilize additional equipment, contributing see OILQUICK page 62

Attachments buyers’ guide

By Giles Lambertson

[f

CEG CORRESPONDENT

OR 60 YEARS,

Construction Equipment Guide has been a trusted source of information about new and used pieces of equipment, construction industry issues, and public and private sector projects. Industry pros depend upon the publication to stay abreast of equipment news.

This Buyers Guide reflects that marketplace experience. The guide is not intended to be comprehensive. Rather, it is offered as an introduction to the world of attachments that are available for compact tool carriers. It is designed to help you cull attachment offerings and determine which tool is right for you.

]

the versatility of a single machine increases their productivity at a lower equipment cost.

So, the heavy machinery evolution continues. This buyers guide is laid out to systematically introduce a reader to many of the attachments on the market today and to suggest ways to inspect and acquire them.

Heavy Equipment and Their Tools Mechanized equipment for construction and other heavy work evolved dramatically in the 20th century going clear back to the early years of last century when a tractor manufacturer replaced the machine’s wheels with wooden treads affixed to chains and created the Caterpillar line of powered equipment.

As the evolution continued, manufacturers began to engineer lines of tools that could be attached to a common carrier, thereby turning a loader into a brush-cutter or a pallet-carrier. Today, attaching tools are offered for backhoes, excavators, wheel loaders, skid steers, telehandlers and other heavy machinery.

The variety of attachable tools — or attachments — has multiplied, too. Operators can decouple a bucket and attach a brushcutter, then switch to a fence post-driver or a tree spade. They can accomplish several wide-ranging tasks in the course of a day from the same operator’s seat. This diversity has practical implications for contractors, who can reduce the size of their fleets and have fewer pieces of equipment sitting idle.

For property owners with weekend tasks,

object and lifting it. Getting too large or complex an attachment for your tool carrier will only frustrate you.

3) Evaluate the manufacturer of an attachment Simple attachments such as a blade or fork are easily sized up by noting the gauge or thickness of metal used to fabricate them and the overall finish of the tool. But the quality of new attachments with moving parts and hydraulic cylinders and gear boxes is not as easily discerned.

Check out a manufacturer to determine its reputation in the marketplace and the value of its warranties.

This especially is true in this global era when attachments are manufactured abroad. Do your due diligence.

4) Look beyond dealerships for an attachment Visiting a dealership for a new or used attachment always is a good choice because it automatically locks in dealer support. A variety of proprietary and aftermarket brands can be found in dealers’ used equipment inventory. However, machinery auctions are another trustworthy source for attachments. Auction houses have been around for decades and have established inspection and warranty policies to protect your investment. Sales are transparent and customer satisfaction drives the process. Consider it.

If You Are Buying As you enter the attachments market, prepare yourself to be overwhelmed. The choices are many, the manufacturers numerous. Here are some suggestions as you weigh your choices: 1) Match an attachment to a particular task So, you need a new bucket for your compact track loader, but which bucket? Do you mostly load and haul gravel and carry firewood to the house? A general purpose bucket will do. Or will you be cleaning up some woods? In that case, a 4-in-1 bucket is better because it can be used as a grapple to pick up limbs and logs and as a back-drag leveler to smooth a landscape. Will you primarily push and load snow? Get a high-backed bucket with screened sections. Knowing how you will use an attachment can guide you.

2) Match an attachment to your machine’s capacity Some tools require more horsepower and hydraulic flow than others. Generally, if an attachment has a fast-spinning component to rip or smooth, a higher rate of auxiliary hydraulics is required. So, running a stump-grinder or grinding down pavement with a cold planer requires more gallons-per-minute of hydraulic oil flow than does a grapple simply clamping its jaws on an

GUIDE FROM PAGE 57

If You Are Renting/Leasing While renting or leasing an attachment is a relatively worry-free method of acquiring a needed tool, some thought should go into it.

Though you will just be using the tool for a limited time, if it does not function for you adequately, your time and money will be wasted.

1) Get the right-sized tool for your equipment Rental houses and dealers typically have in their equipment yard the more popular sizes of attachments. If you have a mid-sized skid steer, for example, chances are good that a blade or brush-cutter in the rental lot will properly fit it. A rental agent can advise you which model of attachment will function at a high level with your tool carrier. What the rental yard professional needs from you is the kind of coupling on your tool carrier and its auxiliary hydraulic flow level.

2) Know how you will use the attachment and be realistic about your skills Telling a rental store agent that you need a mower for your skid steer is not sufficient information. Will you be mowing a Kentucky bluegrass horse pasture that backdrops your house? A light-duty mower will suffice. But if you are clearing a bromegrass lot with scrub brush and small trees, a severe duty brush-cutter will be needed.

Bluegrass-mowing can be accomplished without a high level of skill,

Inspect Before You Invest 1) Have the attachment demonstrated A used attachment at rest can be as deceptive as a sleeping dog. Ask to see the tool coupled to a machine and operated. Do its mechanical parts gratingly engage? Is there shuddering or balking? Does it vibrate noticeably? Do hydraulic pistons respond instantly or reluctantly? While attachments may clank and bang in operation, they should not emit irregular noises or exhibit mechanical spasms. Tools do not draw attention to themselves.

2) Evaluate wear points and linkages Fixed attachments such as simple push blades do not require auxiliary hydraulic flow, so their inspection is purely visual. Do wear points such as leading edges show excessive loss?

Do mechanical pivot points wobble?

On hydraulic tools, is there fluid leakage? Are bearings noticeably loose?

What You Can Expect To Pay Attachment pricing depends on size, brand and market demand. In a global market, prices for attachments also can vary by region. The more widely you explore the market, the broader your options are apt to be. Hereafter is some examples of pricing.

• New A Blue Diamond pallet fork attachment with a 2,000-lb. capacity will cost $500. A larger model with fourft. tines and a 5,000-lb. capacity may cost $800. A heavier-duty version with 1 -in.-thick tines and a 6,000-lb. capacity is priced at $1,200.

A three-ft.-wide Toro Dingo brushcutter/mower attachment may cost $2,800. A Caterpillar-branded direct-

• Used A New Holland 3-ft.-wide miniexcavator general purpose bucket may cost $300. A Kubota skid steer low-profile bucket with digging teeth

and side-cutters could cost $1,000. A 6-ft.-wide Bobcat skid steer ejector bucket with a quick-attach coupling is priced at $1,400.

Among more complex tools, a three-year-old Bobcat-branded 4-ft.wide soil conditioner may cost $5,400.

A Worksite Pro (John Deere) HH60 breaker-hammer for a mini-excavator can cost $7,500. A Vail high-flow rotating tree-saw with a skid steer coupling could be priced at $11,000.

• Rental Rental prices for tool carrier attachments are based on local demand for the tools and area rental competition. An online survey suggests renting a skid steer auger, for example, can cost anywhere from $85 to $125 a day, $300 to $475 a week and $625 to $800 a month.

Some rental companies give corporate and fleet customers a lower rate.

Equipment rental sources include independent and national rental houses as well as heavy equipment dealerships.

• Some Financing Options Buying a new attachment is a substantial investment for a buyer, especially the more sophisticated tools with auxiliary hydraulic functions.

When a buyer is a new contractor or a property owner, funding the purchase is even more problematic.

Equipment dealers understand this and offer a variety of ways for buyers to pay for the needed tools. Some dealers offer lease agreements with an option to buy, sometimes at rates lower than traditional financing.

Financing costs vary according to supply and demand, of course.

Some manufacturers offer no-interest loans for two years or several thousand dollars in rebates up front.

Conventional loan providers that specialize in construction and landscape equipment including tools realize that construction work seasons oftentimes are not 12 months a year and ag work is cyclical and seasonal. So, explore a variety of funding sources before approaching a seller.

GUIDE FROM PAGE 59

Couplers: Bringing It All Together Just as a hammerhead without a handle is useless, a tool must be wedded to equipment to have any utility. In the years since they were introduced, the attachment mechanisms have evolved and settled into some standard configurations. In considering an attachment for your skid steer or other tool carrier, you should become familiar with the coupling systems and find a compatible one.

1) Universal — Bobcat invented the skid steer.

As the new machine became popular and was adapted to numerous tools, Bobcat engineers also invented a quick-attachment system for connecting a tool to a tool carrier. This universal system was widely adopted. The common interface allows differently engineered attachments to be fitted to a single machine. In some cases, adapters are employed to further extend the utility of the tool carrier. As you shop for a tool, pay attention to the coupling system.

2) Quick Coupler — If attachments were bolted and unbolted, their popularity would be less.

Instead, alternatives were developed to speed the process. A manual system requires that an operator, after docking the attachment, leave his seat and throw a release. In a semi-automatic system, once an attachment is in place, an operator manually inserts a pin as a safety device. In a fully automatic system, pins are thrown and locked hydraulically. The tiltrotator is a unique coupling. It functions like a wrist and gives a tool flexibility.

Selected Attachments and Their Uses Note: Not every attachments is compatible with every tool carrier because of power, weight, load capacity and hydraulic flow differences. Following are some popular attachments: 1) Auger: Affixing an

auger to the front of the boom on a tool carrier greatly multiplies the number of post-holes one person can dig in a day and similar applications.

Augers are available in low auxiliary hydraulic-flow and high-flow.

2) Blade: A push blade is a multi-useful tool — snow, gravel, dirt, etc. Its capacity is limited only by a tool carrier’s push power. Some can be adjusted for angle and tilt. Some are engineered as V-blades for path-clearing.

3) Breaker: Also called a hammer, this hydraulic striking tool is utilized to break apart rock, concrete, asphalt and other hardened materials. It comes in low-flow and high-flow models and is engineered for a full spectrum of tool carrier sizes.

4) Broom: At clean-up, a rotary broom can handle thin layers of dirt and irregular pieces of debris with equal effectiveness. The broom’s bristles are either polyester or a poly-steel hybrid and the angled sweep of the broom is adjustable.

5) Bucket: This is the standard attachment at the end of a boom. Its many variations include 4in-1, snow, sifting, side-discharge and general utility. The attachment is offered in numerous widths and gauges.

6) Clod-Buster/Topsoil Screener: This hydraulically driven attachment is a bucket

with a hood containing an agitator. After the bucket is loaded with dirt, the hood drops and clods are reduced to sifted soil. Rocks and debris are screened out.

7) Concrete Saw: Sometimes called a wheel saw, this attachment cuts through concrete and other pavement to cleanly leave a narrow trench for utility lines. Because of the intensity of the work, high-flow hydraulics are required.

8) Fork: Consisting of two flat struts and an upright back, the attachment is used to slip under wood pallets for lifting. It is commonly employed in shipping and warehousing work, but also is used to transport landscape materials.

9) Grapple: The jaws of this attachment clamp onto irregular objects, such as logs or debris, and carry them away. Sometimes the grapple is joined with a bucket or fork to secure a load. The tool comes in light-duty and heavy-duty versions.

10) Hay Spear: This simple device targets agriculture tool carriers with large, round bales of hay to transport. A four-foot-long tine is simply rammed into a bale, the bale lifted and carried away. A spear can carry up to 3,500 lbs.

11) Mower/Brush-Cutter/Mulcher: Tall grass, scrub brush and small trees are no match for these cutting tools. Severe-duty models can chew up trunks 10 inches in diameter. If too large a model is attached to a tool carrier, performance will suffer.

12) Salt-Spreader: Icy parking lots and hillside paved driveways are hazardous. A salt-spreader on a tool carrier evenly scatters a container of melting salt so tires can regain traction. The attachment comes in assorted sizes and capacities.

13) Snow-handler: Several kinds of attachments work in snow. Simple angled blades windrow snow. Sided blades contain and mound it. Snow blowers with auger collectors blow it to one side out of the path of travel.

es and grading beams.

5) Epiroc — Headquartered in Commerce City, Colo., this tool makers specializes in demolition and recycling attachments such as hydraulic breakers.

6) Fox Hiniker — Specializing in snow-removal products, this Mankato, Minn., manufacturer’s most recent product is the VersaPlow attachment.

7) Kinshofer — This German manufacturer is a maker of the increasingly popular tiltrotator attachment for compact excavators, which give buckets and pallets more flexible reach.

8) Paladin — This Michigan company has 11 brands of attachments under its name, including Bradco, CWS and Kodiak. Many of their products are for compact tool carriers.

9) Trimble — Fine-grading by compact tool carriers is done though sophisticated grade-control systems. A California company, Trimble, offers laser and GPS attachments.

10) Worksaver — This Litchfield, Ill., attachment maker has a catalog of more than 400 attachable tools, many of which are useable on compact tool carriers.

Attachments are what give tool carriers their high value. One powered machine + numerous attachments = increased productivity at less cost.

It is a winning formula for a fleet owner or a property owner. Whether you are contemplating renting an attachment or buying one, the choices are plentiful and the applications are continuing to multiply. If you are careful in your selection of an attachment, it will become an essential tool in your tool bag. 

14) Tree Spade/Puller: Removing relatively small trees is handily accomplished with these attachments. A spade cuts downward from opposite sides and lifts a ball of earth for transplanting.

A puller grips the base of a tree and rips it from the ground.

15) Trencher: The spade-making industry hated to see the invention of mechanical / hydraulic trenchers. Now an attachment gives a tool carrier the ability to dig long, straight trenches for pipes and lines. Medium-high-flow hydraulics are required

“When utilized to full potential it becomes more than just a coupler, it becomes an extremely safe, attachment system that greatly increases the productivity of any machine and attachments it’s on,” said Jason Johnson, division manager of OilQuick USA. “I finish jobs early with one machine and a few attachments instead of a few machines with dedicated attachments, very happy to have the OQ system,” said an equipment operator of JR Ramone Demolition.

The OilQuick hydraulic coupling system is available for excavators ranging from 1 to 132 tons. All systems are fitted with leak-free oil quick couplings, which also are eco-friendly, according to the company.

Attachments including concrete pulverizers, grapple buckets, hydraulic concrete breakers and metal shears allowed the excavators to make quick work of the demolition. Due to the ease of switching attachments with the OilQuick coupler, the company saved time and money.

Other equipment on the job site included loaders, water trucks, skid steer loaders, street sweepers, lifts and more.

Crews removed and recycled approximately 1,500 tons of concrete and asphalt and approximately 100 tons of rebar and metal I-Beam used in the bridge reinforcement.

Careful planning led to successful execution of the demolition phase of the contract. Although challenging, knowing ahead of time how many hours JR Ramon and Flatiron had to complete the job was key. Also, having subcontractor American Abatement on hand for lead-based paint removal

Wyoming Council OKs State Permit for TWE Project The State of Wyoming’s Industrial Siting Council voted unanimously on April 19 to approve TransWest Express LLC’s application for a permit to construct and operate the TransWest Express Transmission Project. The 730-mi. high-voltage transmission system extends from Wyoming to Nevada and will provide western electricity markets with efficient access to energy generated in Wyoming, including high-capacity wind energy resources.

The ISC’s seven-member panel heard testimony from TransWest representatives at a public hearing in Saratoga, Wyo., before deliberating and making its decision. The ISC is the ruling entity of the Wyoming Industrial Siting Division, part of the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality.

“We appreciate the state’s careful review of TransWest’s detailed application over the past several months. With the council’s important decision today to approve the TWE project, the federal and state permitting decisions for the TWE project are now complete,” said Bill Miller, president and CEO of TransWest. “We anticipate beginning construction next year on this critical energy infrastructure. The TWE Project will create jobs, open up new markets for Wyoming energy products, strengthen the regional electric grid, and deliver economic benefits to Wyoming and the West for years to come.”

The TWE project’s northern terminal and about 92 mi. of line are located in Wyoming.

Before approving the permit, the council had to determine that the TWE project complied with all applicable law, did not pose a threat to the environment or to area residents, and met

other important criteria. Council members not only made these findings but also noted the support that they heard from parties to the uncontested ISC proceeding, including Carbon County, Sweetwater County and municipalities in the project area.

The TWE project Wyoming Terminal will be constructed within the Overland Trail Ranch, south of Rawlins and Sinclair, and will interconnect with the local power grid. The line then extends as a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system to Millard County, Utah, where TransWest plans to build its Utah Terminal and to interconnect the TWE project into the Intermountain Power transmission system.

From Utah, the TWE project then extends as a high-voltage alternating current (HVAC) system to southern Nevada near Hoover Dam, where the California, Nevada and Arizona grids also interconnect.

Altogether, the TWE project provides an efficient path for western states to access high-quality, cost-effective, utility-scale quantities of geographically diverse renewable energy to help meet their state Renewable Portfolio Standard requirements and to complement local renewable resources.

Two-thirds of the total TWE project route lies on federal land. Following eight years of comprehensive federal environmental analysis, federal rights-ofway, easements and licenses were granted by agencies in 2017 and 2018. The TWE project also has received its local permits from Carbon County and Sweetwater County in Wyoming; from Moffat County, Colo., and from five Utah counties, with the remaining Utah and Nevada county permits anticipated completed by the end of year.

Houston’s Ship Channel Bridge Due to Complete in 2024 HOUSTON from page 1

The bridge, scheduled for completion in 2024, is the largest infrastructure project ever undertaken by the Harris County Tollway Road Authority and expected to ease congestion, improve safety.

“Our existing bridge is two lanes in each direction with no shoulders,” Kainer said. “We regularly run it to capacity and have congestion and back ups. And when there is an incident, it greatly impacts traffic because there is nowhere for them to go, no shoulder to pull off to. If there is a wreck severe enough, it’s not uncommon to shut down one or both lanes of travel.”

The new bridge has a clear span link over the ship channel of 1,320 ft. and will feature four lanes in each direction with 10-ft. shoulders. The main span itself is precast segmental and will be cast on the property adjacent to the job site.

The actual segments will then be assembled in the air to form the main span. The approach structures are traditional TS girder construction — precast concrete girders with cast-in-place bridge decks.

“The new bridge is similar to the existing in that it is a segmental bridge, however, the new bridge cables, which allows us to have longer clear span, stay out of the channel,” Kainer said. “The old bridge was segmental, but it was cast in place. They moved the forms out and cantilevered them out from the main piers, whereas we are casting on the ground and erecting into place.”

The project required custom designed winches that will be

mounted to the bridge deck for installation of the segments.

“When we start, we’ll be working over land, Kainer said. “First we have to construct the pylons and then we’ll start from the pylons and work our way out in what is called balanced cantilever erection sequence. We’ll erect one segment on the pylon and then on the other side to where we’re always working one piece on each side at a time. For the other part,

While we have the existing bridge in place, there really is very little interaction or impact with it and little to no impact to traffic.”

ing “table.” Workers clean the udders, then attach the computerized milking machine, which logs how much product the cows produce.

Every cow has an electronic identification tag (EID), and as it takes the short ride around the table, details about the animal, such as whether it’s time to trim its hooves, are gathered by scanning the EID. At the older facility, scanning is done during feeding.

“The scans provide critical and immediate information that we can use to take action; for instance, they tell us what stage of gestation a pregnant cow is in and if we need to stop milking her,” Cnossen said, noting that cows have a ninemonth gestation period. “If that’s the case, the cow is pulled out of production, hooves are trimmed and she gets a couple of months off to just eat and relax until she calves. A day after giving birth, we milk her for the colostrum, which is fed to newborns and contains needed antibodies.”

“They hold 6,000 to 7,000 pounds easily, allowing operators to get the same volume as before with one scoop.”

Routine scheduled service is complimentary through Kirby-Smith for the first 2,000 hours or three years under the Komatsu CARE program. Cnossen believes it’s a good way for his service personnel to become familiar with the loader before performing the work themselves.

“My mechanics can watch Kirby’s techs and learn from them,” he said. “When Komatsu CARE expires, they will know what to do. That’s excellent value. We have come to expect great service from Britt and Kirby-Smith. Before we bought the WA320s, we rented some equipment from them, and they let us demo the loaders to make sure they were the right fit.

bidadoo Online Auctions Completes Record First Quarter bidadoo sales increased more than 70 percent in the 1st quarter of 2019, year-over-year. This significant increase can be attributed to bidadoo’s growing experienced salesforce, geographic expansion — including additional growth in Canada and Mexico, and market migration to efficient online auctions. Increased sales also was fueled by significant growth in the bidadoo Marketplace (Multi-channel: BuyNow, Make-Offer), and further investment in customer-facing reMarketing technologies. These investments have greatly expanded bidadoo’s operational capabilities, and success, in supporting some of the world’s largest fleet owners. bidadoo drove an 84 percent increase in total bids and a 51 percent increase of auction participants during the 1st quarter 2019, year-over-year. Visitors accessing bidadoo via mobile device also increased in the first quarter of 2019, increasing by 61 percent compared to the previous year. As the largest seller of equipment and trucks on eBay, bidadoo enables its sellers to reach a truly global buyer base, and provides an efficient and trusted platform for buyers across the world. bidadoo’s growth also was supported by bidadoo’s partner eBay growing active buyers across the eBay platform to 180 million global active buyers.

“With 16 years of outstanding partnership, we are thrilled that bidadoo continues to achieve new sales records on eBay,” said Marni Levine, VP of merchandising at eBay. “Their focus on customer service is commendable and a critical element to their success. Together we’re changing the way heavy equipment is transacted by making top-quality inventory available across borders and devices.” bidadoo also boosted sales in its bidadoo Marketplace by

“We have found significant value in their online auction model.”

Scott Place Takeuchi Manufacturing

more than 220 percent year-over-year. The bidadoo Marketplace is a Buy Now, negotiated sale, and best-offer channel. The bidadoo Marketplace is a channel that features equipment available for immediate sale versus weekly noreserve auctions. This marketplace gives bidadoo sellers the certainty of setting a pre-determined price they’re willing to accept for the sale of their equipment. For buyers, the bidadoo Marketplace provides the choice to buy equipment immediately, rather than bidding on bidadoo’s no-reserve weekly auctions.

“We have found significant value in their online auction model,” said Scott Place, director of national accounts with Takeuchi Manufacturing, “They take care of everything and are easy to do business with.”

With the more efficient bidadoo online auction model, sellers are able to achieve superior net returns through bidadoo vs. many live and online auction providers, with quicker speed to market and no need to transport equipment to a land-based live auction facility. bidadoo Fleet reMarketing Solutions — Powerful Fleet Management and Sales Platform

Case Unveils ProjectTETRA Concept at bauma 2019 The Case methane-powered wheel loader concept is testament to CNH Industrial’s longstanding commitment to alternative fuel technologies, and is further proof of the practicability and flexibility of natural gas, demonstrating its viability in both on and off road applications.

Case Construction Equipment, a brand of CNH Industrial N.V. gave the public an insight into a sustainable, connected and technologically advanced future of construction at the bauma trade show in Munich, Germany, with the unveiling of its methane-powered wheel loader concept — ProjectTETRA. Jointly developed by the CNH Industrial international design and Case engineering teams, this concept is a clear departure from anything seen to date in the

construction industry. The concept reflects both the increasing importance of alternative fuels, and demonstrates their viability in the construction environment: the concept wheel loader is powered by a proven methane engine, produced by sister brand FPT Industrial, and delivers exactly the same performance as its diesel equivalent.

This is combined with cutting edge styling and an advanced operator environment, which makes extensive use of touchscreen and voice control technologies.

Furthermore, innovative safety features include biometric technologies together with an obstacle detection system, which is derived from CNH Industrial's autonomous vehicle research and development program.

Case has demonstrated the feasibility of this concept in a range of real-world construction environments as well as proving the business case, in terms of sustainability, reduced overall total cost of ownership and operational viability.

The Case methane-powered wheel loader concept is testament to CNH Industrial's longstanding commitment to alternative fuel technologies, and is further proof of the practicability and flexibility of natural gas, demonstrating its viability in both on and off road applications.
