Kiewit Leads Phase II of Oroville Dam Spillway Repairs By Chuck Harvey CEG CORRESPONDENT
California Department of Water (DWR) officials report that the second phase of construction work on the Oroville Dam spillways began on May 8. The second phase will constitute the bulk of work on the lake’s spillways. Construction is expected to conclude by the end of 2019. As part of the second phase, general contractor Kiewit Corp. of Omaha will demolish more than 730 ft. of the main spillway’s upper chute and rebuild it with steel-reinforced structural concrete; place 3 ft. of steel-reinforced structural concrete over roller-compacted concrete at the middle chute; remove roller-compacted concrete walls in the middle chute and replace them with structural concrete; hydroblast and resurface energy dissipaters and provide new drainage systems. At the emergency spillway, crews will remove the emergency embankment of stone, or rip rap, that was put in place February 2017 — pending approval from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and California Division of Safety of Dams. They also will finish work on a concrete cap at the underground secant pile wall; continue work on see OROVILLE page 20

In the fall of 2017, the state issued an operating permit for what will be Arizona’s first new copper mine in more than a decade.
Mining is part of Arizona’s economic and cultural heritage dating back hundreds of years to when Native Americans plinked for turquoise and coal. Spanish explorers invaded the region in
the 1600s looking for silver and gold to carry back across the Atlantic. Today, more than 300 operating mines plumb the Arizona desert landscape, most of them quarrying sand and crushed rock for industrial and commercial use — a $450 milsee COPPER page 36

Colorado Receives $90M in INFRA Grants On June 5, CDOT Executive Director Michael Lewis announced Colorado will greatly benefit from $90 million in federal grants that complete funding to improve two vital transportation corridors in the state. The funding comes from the Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) grant, awarded by the U.S. Department of Transportation. El Paso County received $65 million that will go toward improvements to the I-25 South Gap project in Douglas and El Paso counties, and CDOT received $25 million that will help fund a shoulder Express Lane on Interstate 70 Westbound in Clear Creek County. “Senators Bennet, Gardner and the rest of the Congressional Delegation stepped up to ensure that Colorado received awards for two critical transportation projects,” said Mike Lewis, executive director of CDOT. “The public has made transportation a priority and through robust partnerships with local jurisdictions and other stakeholders, we will save lives and increase travel reliability by delivering these projects. The administration clearly sees the commitment of Coloradans to their transportation sys-
tem and the innovative methods by which we are delivering critical projects.” I-25 South Gap The preferred alternative is widening an 18-mi. segment of I-25 from Monument to Castle Rock by adding an express lane in each direction. Following more than a year of study from the planning and environmental linkages process and the environmental assessment, CDOT found this option would best meet the project’s purpose and need to improve safety, travel reliability and mobility. Express lanes provide a level of travel reliability that other options do not. Motorists will always have a choice to either take the two general purpose lanes for free or travel the express lane, one in each direction, for a variable toll. Tolls would be higher during peak travel times and lower during non-peak times to ensure the choice of a free-flowing lane. Travel times will improve across all lanes. More importantly, the project will widen shoulders, build additional wildlife crossings and make other improvements that will help to save lives.
CDOT is on track to begin construction by late summer of this year. The $65 million INFRA grant completes the $350 million funding needed to build the project. Funding sources: • $250 million — state • $35 million — El Paso and Douglas counties • $65 million — INFRA grant I-70 Westbound Peak Period Shoulder Lane A project team is studying a proposal to build an express lane on a 12-mi. stretch of westbound I-70 in the mountains (between Empire Junction and the Veterans Memorial Tunnels), similar to the existing I-70 Peak Period Shoulder Lane on eastbound I-70. The team plans to complete the study — a National Environmental Policy Act process — in fall 2018. Construction is planned to begin in late spring or summer 2019. The $25 million INFRA grant completes the $80 million in funding needed to build the project.

Smaller HDD Rod Size Makes All the Difference for Dakota By Craig Mongeau CEG EDITOR IN CHIEF
Bigger is not always better — at least in the case of horizontal directional drills and their rods. When the city of Benbrook, Texas, called on Dakota Utility Contractors Inc. to relocate existing utility lines under Highway 377, Dakota President Aaron Graff knew that the right combination of power and precision would be the key to successfully drilling the 500-ft. lines, at a depth of 12 to 14 ft. in the time allotted — all while avoiding the existing sewer, water, fiber, gas and electric lines. (Fiber and gas lines are frequent players in a utility contractor’s worst nightmares.) Longtime users of Ditch Witch directional drills, the company reached out to Rick Stiffler of Witch Equipment Co. Inc., the Dallas-area dealer, about the new JT40 all terrain directional drill. Aaron Graff and his brother, Perry (company supervisor) knew that the AT40’s power would not be a problem, with its 160hp., Tier IV diesel Cummins power, resulting 40,000-lbs. of thrust and pullback. What really caught their attention, though, was the new, smaller rod diameter — down to 3.096in. from 3.5-in. on earlier models. “The smaller rod size makes all the difference,” Perry said, as he exited the redesigned cab of Ditch Witch’s newest offering. Stiffler added, “the three-inch rod size gives contractors much more flexibility, and with that, better maneuverability. Simply put, it’s easier to steer.” Aaron Graff had lobbied for the smaller rod size when he heard that Ditch Witch was coming A Dakota service truck at the Benbrook site. out with the AT40. “They were very responsive to the input for itself in less than two years.” The increased power over its predecessor we offered,” he said. The job called for reaming a 24-in. hole (the AT4020) and reduced rod diameter were under 377 at two different locations under not the only features that attracted Graff to the busy city street. An 18-in. casing ulti- the AT40. Its compact size, improved operator interface, and cab comfort were impormately would house two 6-in. polys. Aaron Graff said the machine, the ninth tant factors, as well. In addition, he saw the 15-ft. pipe length, Ditch Witch drill in his fleet, but the first AT40 ever sold in Texas by Witch along with the 390-ft. of total onboard rock rod pipe capacity, as boosts to overall proEquipment, performed well. “This rig is exactly what we had been ductivity. Among the other features offered on the looking for on this job,” he said. “Other rigs would have done it, but it would have taken AT40 include: • A wireless remote allows the operator to its toll. “This rig will cut reaming time in half,” he position the rig when not in the cab (replaces added. “At our current workload, it will pay the tethered system);
(L-R): Rick Stiffler of Witch Equipment along with Aaron Graff, Dakota Utility Contractors Inc. president; Perry Graff, company supervisor; and Aaron’s son, Tyler.
• A new cab design with greater operator visibility; • A full-screen/full-color monitors with optional Subsite Commander 7 Guidance system, which displays the navigation of the bore; and • An increase in power, which allows for a larger reamer. Dakota has been so impressed with the performance and efficiency of the AT40 that it has since purchased three of them from Witch Equipment. Dakota’s purchase of the AT40s is a continuation of a great working relationship with Stiffler and Witch Equipment Company, and service is a major component of that. “I call with a problem and they are out to the job site the same day or the following morning,” Perry Graff said. About Dakota Utility Contractors Inc. Founded in 2000 and headquartered in Ennis, Texas, Dakota Utility Contractors is a nationwide company specializing in direc-
tional boring services for both commercial and residential customers. The family-owned company, which employs more than 130 people, has a lot of experience with horizontal drills, having “gone through” 43 in their 18 years in business, according to Aaron Graff, president of Dakota Utility Contractors, which has been a Ditch Witch customer since 2004. In all, the company has 18 directional rigs (ranging from 20,000 to 250,000 lbs.), and plan to add another two over the next 12 months. While 90 percent of Dakota’s work is in Texas, it is not unusual for the company to be called on to do work anywhere in the United States. Dakota’s reputation for unmatched expertise in utility drilling, along with its fleet size and a $10 million umbrella insurance policy qualifies it for high profile jobs like the refinery job the company recently completed in North Carolina. Aaron Graff said he likes to keep 17 of 18 rigs active every day. “There really is no utility work that we can’t do,” he said.

The new bridge would be located directly east of the existing bridge on the park’s South Entrance Road between the South Entrance and Grant Village.
YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, WYO. (AP) The National Park Service is taking public comments on a proposal to replace the bridge over the Lewis River in Yellowstone National Park. The new bridge would be located directly east of the existing bridge on the park’s South Entrance Road between the South Entrance and Grant Village. The South Entrance Road would remain open during construction. The Park Service said the project is needed to address the deteriorating condition of the Lewis River Bridge, which was constructed in 1960. A recent inspection cited problems with the bridge’s concrete surface, foundation and railings.

The project is needed to address the deteriorating condition of the Lewis River Bridge, which was constructed in 1960.
In addition to replacing the bridge, the proposal includes reconfiguring the adjacent Lewis River Falls parking area. Construction would begin in the spring of 2019 and continue through 2020. Comments must be received by July 23. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Acco Creates Custom Monster Machines: Super Dozer, By Katherine Devlin CEG EDITORIAL ASSISTANT
In the early 1980s, Umberto Acco, an entrepreneur and owner of a civil construction company in Portogruaro, northern Italy, received a job that would require his company to build a custom crawler dozer and motorgrader. The machines needed to be big — really big — and were intended to be used on a project that involved moving earth — lots of earth — in large, desert areas. While many components of the dozer had to be custom made, including the blade, Acco used mainly Caterpillar parts to build what has become known as ‘Super Dozer’— the world’s largest bulldozer. As of 2018, it also is the most powerful tracked dozer ever made. How Big Is Big? The specs for the more-than-40-ft., 183-ton crawler dozer are dizzying. Two 8-cylinder, 675 hp
Caterpillar diesel engines combine for a 1,350 hp output. The blade measures 23 ft. wide and 9 ft. high. The rear ripper (a claw-like device) measures 10 ft. and is powered by hydraulic rams. The tracks were custom made by Berco. The transmission operates through two drive sprockets for each track to create torque generated from the engines. The brakes and control mechanisms are operated hydraulically. This massive piece of iron was the only one of its kind produced. For comparison, Caterpillar’s largest model, the D11 dozer, is 115 tons, 35.8 ft. long, 14.9 ft. wide, had a 22 ft. blade and operates at 850 hp. The world’s largest production dozer is Komatsu’s D575A 168-ton, 1,050-hp dozer. This machine measures 38 ft. 5 in. long, 24 ft. 3 in. wide and has a 11 ft. 11 in. blade. The Motorgrader The world’s biggest motorgrader also was created in 1980 for the same project. It had two engines: the 700 hp front end articulated from the 1,000 hp rear end. It measured more than 24 ft.; weighed 200 tons; had a 33 ft. blade; and had a total of 12 tires — two per hub. While in storage, the machine became a tourist Mauro Dal Santo/Marco Castellan photo attraction. It did not survive its time in storage and Dino e Rino Valerio (seated) and friends atop the world’s has been dismantled and sold for scrap. biggest crawler dozer.
A Major Roadblock The dozer and motorgrader were to be used for a massive earthmoving project in Libya. It is unclear whether the machines were to be used for a pipelaying project or for other landdevelopment but just as the dozer was completed, Colonel Gaddafi encountered an embargo by the United Nations, which included trade restrictions. The Acco dozer and motorgrader could not be shipped to Libya. The dozer was operated only once Mauro Dal Santo/Marco Castellan photo on a job in southern Italy. However, In 2012, an old friend and neighbor of Umberto Acco, the cost of transporting it was prohibiDino e Rino Valerio, who also is a collector of historic Mauro Dal Santo/Marco Castellan photo tive and both machines were placed in vehicles, saved the dozer from demolition. The Acco super dozer is loaded for transport from the Acco depot in storage and maintained at the factory Portogruaro to its new home on May 15, 2012. where they were built.

Umberto Acco passed away in 2006 without appointing successors to the company. The decision was made not to continue with Acco’s innovations and the business was shuttered. The property became a dumping ground for various earthmoving machines, including the giant dozer and motorgrader. A Second Chance In 2012, an old friend and neighbor of Acco, Dino e Rino Valerio, who also is a collector of historic vehicles, saved the dozer from demolition. He purchased the monster machine and arranged for heavy transport to a new location. Although Valerio passed away in 2012, today the dozer is safely stored and on display with the rest of his collection for public viewing at the family’s Bejaflor nursery.

Work Sails Along on $1.47B Bridge Replacement Project By Chuck Harvey
The bridge will include emergency lanes on the inner and outer shoulders, as well as a bicycle and pedestrian path. It will accommodate three lanes of traffic on each side, as opposed to the current bridge’s two lanes. The emergency lanes will help reduce delays from breakdowns and accidents and give emergency vehicles better access. The new bridge is being built alongside the existing bridge so that traffic flow can be maintained. In addition, crews will construct a 12-ft. bike and pedestrian walkway structure cantilevered off the south side of the bridge, separate from the travel lanes.
CEG CORRESPONDENT
Concerns about safety, traffic flow and bigger ships drove support for a $1.47 billion project currently under way to replace the aging and deteriorating Gerald Desmond Bridge in the Port of Long Beach, Calif. Cost of the project includes the construction of the new bridge and demolition of the current one. The bridge is a major access point to the port from downtown Long Beach and surrounding communities. The replacement bridge will feature six lanes of traffic and provide 205-ft. clearance to allow today’s larger cargo ships to enter the port. The existing Gerald Desmond Bridge provides 155-ft. of vertical clearance. With two towers reaching 515ft. into the sky, the new bridge will be the second-tallest cable-stayed bridge in the United States. The bridge, with its large price tag, is

part of $4.5 billion of improvements at the Port of Long Beach to remain modern, competitive and big-ship ready. And an important focus of the project is safety.

digging of cast-in-drilled-hole piles (CIDH piles) began in April 2014. Completion date for the new bridge has now been set for the end of 2019.
Massive Structure The maximum height of the Bridge Project is 515 ft., which corresponds to the height of its two main towers. The road deck will be 205 ft. over the water, where it crosses the back channel. see BRIDGE page 24
LA Rams Tour Palatial New Stadium By Greg Beachamap ASSOCIATED PRESS SPORTS WRITER
INGLEWOOD, CALIF. (AP) After Jared Goff tipped back his hard hat and swung his arm a few times to get loose, he grabbed a football and tossed a high-arching spiral straight into the arms of an excited construction worker on an upper deck. The Los Angeles Rams’ franchise quarterback has already completed his first few passes inside his team’s palatial new stadium two years before it opens. see RAMS page 22
This stadium project is widely thought to be the most complicated and most expensive in sports history, and the main 70,240-seat arena is on track to open in the summer of 2020.

gency (auxiliary) spillway threatened the stability of the spillway wall which holds back billions of gallons of water. That led to an evacuation order for more than 100,000 residents in the path of the dam. The main spillway was put back to use after a brief examination and water levels in Lake Oroville were brought down to safer levels. But damage was fairly extensive to both spillways. Using helicopters and bulldozers, crews worked to fill in eroded areas near the emergency spillway wall. As of Feb. 23, they had brought in 100,000 cu. yds. of rock and sand and 11,600 cu. yds. of cement, which was poured over the rocks and sand. Meanwhile work continued on filling holes and stabilizing the area near the emergency spillway. Syblon Reid Contractors, contractor for the emergency spillway, is experienced in a variety of major projects including hydro generation and water conveyance, hydro technical services, bridge work, treatment plants and pump solutions, site work, environmental enhancements and emergency response. Its motto is “Providing solutions to difficult projects,” which is fitting to the problems at Oroville Dam. Heavy Equipment As many as six helicopters were used during the initial emergency response to the Lake Oroville spillways incident. As many as 45 haul trucks were being used during the emergency response. About 20 haul trucks are in use now. Local trucking brokers also provide a wide variety of additional trucks including bulk delivery and hauling trucks. How Events Unfolded at the Dam The timeline of how events unfolded at the dam: • On Jan. 31, 2017 flows through the dam’s concrete main spillway at Oroville Dam reached 10,000 cu. ft. per second increasing water flow into the Feather River. • On Feb. 7, 2017 the flow over the spillway was increased to 54,500 cu. ft. per second to offset higher inflows from rainfall. • On the same day, part of the main spillway unexpectedly collapsed into the ground as water was being released from the lake. • Crews temporarily closed off the flow so damage could be examined. With water levels continuing to rise, engineers decided to use the damaged main spillway, but with reduced flows. • On Feb. 11, 2017 with the elevation of Lake Oroville at 901 ft., water levels topped the emergency or backup spillway, which is a concrete wall designed as a last-ditch resort to drain the lake when it becomes too full. As water poured over the wall and pounded the see OROVILLE page 26

Coming Attractions: LA Rams Excited About New Stadium RAMS from page 19
Although the multibillion-dollar new home of the Rams and Chargers is currently a dusty construction site with a whirlwind of activity, Goff and his teammates feel confident it will be well worth the wait after getting their first tour on June 14. “Even flying over it, you can’t truly understand how big it’s going to be until you get down here and look at it,” Goff said, gazing wideeyed from the future playing field way up to the top reaches of the arena. “It’s exciting. You hope the years go by fast.” Rams coach Sean McVay canceled the final practice of the defending NFC West champions’ mandatory minicamp and loaded his players and assistants onto buses for a drive from Thousand Oaks to Inglewood. In safety vests and personalized blue hard hats complete with Rams horns, they got an up-close look at the progress on owner Stan Kroenke’s stadium project, now a steel-and-concrete shell rising out
“Even flying over it, you can’t truly understand how big it’s going to be until you get down here and look at it,” Goff said, gazing wide-eyed from the future playing field way up to the top reaches of the arena. “It’s exciting. You hope the years go by fast.” of a massive hole dug at ground level on the former site of the Hollywood Park racetrack. This stadium project is widely thought to be the most complicated and most expensive in sports history, and the main 70,240-seat arena is on track to open in the summer of 2020. When the surrounding complex eventually opens its shops, office buildings and innumerable additional features, the Rams and Chargers will be working in a new Los Angeles-area landmark. “It’s amazing to see all the great
work that they’re putting in for us to come out here and hopefully have lots of success and wins in the years to come,” said Ndamukong Suh, the Rams’ new defensive tackle. “Ultimate respect for all the hard work that’s going in at this stage. I can imagine how much hard work and organization the GCs [general contractors] have to deal with. More power to them.” Suh was a construction management major at Nebraska, so he took a particular interest in the staggering number of workers and compa-
nies combining their efforts to complete the labyrinthine project in time for its two teams to play the 2020 season. The stadium also will host Super Bowl LVI on Feb. 6, 2022, and college football’s national championship playoff game in January 2023. The stadium intends to bid heavily for the next available Super Bowl as well, pursuing the game for 2026 or 2027. Other events arriving in the next decade alone include expected matches for the 2026 World Cup and the opening ceremony at the
2028 Olympics. The stadium has a clear roof in sunny Southern California partly because of its intention to host a men’s Final Four, which hasn’t been held in California since 1975. But the stadium’s main tenants are Los Angeles’ two NFL teams, and they can already sense a brewing home-field advantage in this remarkable setting. The project’s proximity to Los Angeles’ main airport required extensive excavation to sink the playing field deep under normal ground level, already lending a momentous, larger-than-life feel to the stadium in its half-completed state. “The roar is definitely going to be insane,” Suh said. “I look forward to it. We’re 100 feet deep in the ground, so all the concrete, the steel and even the natural earth will keep everything boxed in.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Bridge Replacement Job Among $4.5B of Port Improvements
Cost of the project includes the construction of the new bridge and demolition of the current one. BRIDGE from page 19
The width of the Bridge Project is 112 ft., which corresponds to the width of the combined eastbound and westbound lanes that offer three 12-ft. travel lanes and 10-ft. shoulders on both sides of the travel lanes. The length of the bridge is 8,800 ft., including 2,000 ft. of main span constructed on structural steel and 6,800 ft. of cast-inplace, post-tensioned box girder concrete approach spans. Joint Venture Shimmick Construction Co. Inc., FCC Construction SA and Impreglio S.p.A. (SFI) combined as a joint venture and is designbuilder for the project. The joint venture will be paid about $800 million for its work. Major subcontractors working on the project include Arup, an independent firm of designers, planners, engineers, consultants and technical specialists based in London, with an office in Los Angeles, design lead; Legacy Foundations of Irvine, Calif., CIDH drilling; Stinger Bridge & Iron of Coolidge, Ariz., structural steel fabrication; CMC of Irving, Texas, rebar and structural steel erection; and A&A Ready Mix of Gardena, Calif., concrete. Trades groups working on the project include Cement Masons Local 500, Electricians IBEW Local 11; Ironworkers Local 416 & 433; Laborers’ Local 1309; Operating Engineers Local 12; Southwest Carpenters Local 2375; and Teamsters Local 166. Construction of the bridge is being done both day and night. To advance the construction schedule and minimize traffic impacts,
The bridge, with its large price tag, is part of $4.5 billion of improvements at the Port of Long Beach to remain modern, competitive and big-ship ready.
nighttime work is performed regularly. However, most workers report during dayshift hours. About 300 workers are on the job each day. Eastbound Approaches Current work is focused on the eastbound approaches to the bridge. In December, workers on the east side of the bridge project were preparing to move the first of two selflaunching moveable scaffolding systems (MMS) to the ground, then move it over to the eastbound approach columns. The scaffolding system will then be raised to begin constructing the eastbound decline headed down toward the 710 freeway. Over the course of 2018, the initial moveable scaffolding system (called the blue MMS) will work its way to a portion of the approach that is being built using conventional falsework. The falsework is constructed between the westbound incline approach and Ocean Boulevard, close to Pico Avenue. The falsework is used to construct the parts of the approach that are too close to the ground for
the moveable scaffolding system to work on. On the west side of the project, the conventional falsework portion of the eastbound incline approach is under way. Crews have begun removing portions of the falsework and a second (orange) moveable scaffolding system will be backed up to meet with the first span of the eastbound incline. In January, the second moveable scaffolding system began building the approach, headed toward the water channel. Heavy Equipment A variety of heavy equipment is currently in use at the construction site. In addition to two movable scaffolding systems for the high approaches, crews are using two tower cranes to support work at the main span. Workers are operating about 10 other track-mounted crawler cranes that support falsework erection, column construction and CIDH pile excavation. “At one point, there were four oscillators and one rotator for CIDH drilling,” said Lee Peterson, Port of Long Beach spokesman.
Impressive Numbers The new bridge features some impressive dimensions and material amounts: • Support Columns: Approximately 90 combined for east, west approach spans. • Foundations: About 350 belowground piles supporting the aboveground columns. • Total length: Approximately 8,800 ft.
including 2,000 ft. for cable-stayed span. • Cables: 40 for each tower. Each cable consists of 30-80 strands, depending on cable location. • Steel: About 17.5 million lbs. of structural steel and 72 million lbs. of rebar. • Concrete: About 182,000 cu. yds.
“However, as drilling nears completion, only one oscillator remains on site.” Crews also are using a full complement of excavators, loaders and graders for temporary and permanent access road and retaining wall construction. No Phase Work Phases are not part of the construction schedule. As a design-build project, construction occurs on multiple fronts simultaneously. The westbound approaches and two main towers are now complete. Building of the eastbound approaches has begun. That entails two types of construction: use of a 3.1-million-lb. movable scaffolding system (MSS) that replaces traditional falsework at heights where it is neither time or cost effective nor safe to build it as well as traditional falsework at ground level. Construction of the cable-stayed main span will begin in spring 2018. Construction plans call for a “Texas UTurn,” a non-signalized U-turn, to enable the smooth and efficient flow of truck traffic for the Port of Long Beach’s Terminal Island tenants from westbound Ocean Boulevard. It is planned for completion in 2019. Current Bridge Is Outdated Built in 1968, the existing bridge is what engineers call “functionally obsolete,” meaning that it has reached the end of its lifespan and needs to be replaced. The current bridge has three lanes on the incline that narrow to two lanes on the decline, when traveling in both directions. There are no shoulders either, meaning a see BRIDGE page 25

‘Wildcatting’ Hinders Port Bridge Replacement Project BRIDGE from page 24
stalled vehicle or accident stands to cause major delays and difficulty clearing. The new bridge will provide three lanes and a shoulder in both directions, enabling much smoother traffic flow when traffic impacts occur. It also offers a 5 percent grade, versus the current bridge’s 6 percent grade. That will reduce fuel consumption and wear and tear on the trucks that use it. Additionally, the new bridge will offer state-of-the-art seismic features that will enable a speedier restoration of service after a significant seismic event. Finally, the new bridge’s cable-stayed design and towers will provide an iconic landmark. Two Delays Slowed the Project “Two challenges caused delays to the construction schedule,” Peterson said. “The first was the clearing of dozens of capped oil wells in the construction area that were left from decades of ‘wildcatting’ in the 1930s and 1940s. The area is the fifth largest oilproducing field in the U.S. Those wells — most of which were underground — had to be remediated.” The second challenge was much smaller in nature and involved the steel fabrication of the cable casings on the two main towers. The initial fabrication was redone to meet the contractor’s rigorous quality-control standards for safety and longevity. The new bridge will have a 100-year lifespan. Multiple Funding Sources Funding sources for the project include a TIFLA (Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act) loan LA Metro, Port of Long Beach, State-Caltrans funds and federal funds. The Gerald Desmond Bridge Replacement Project is one of 10 “designbuild” projects now under way in the state of California. The method combines project design and construction into one contract, as opposed to the standard process done in three stages: design, bid, build. Reducing Impacts Steps are being taken to reduce construction-related traffic impacts during the project. That includes maintaining the flow of cargo during construction of the bridge and other infrastructure projects. However, some traffic impacts are unavoidable. Comprehensive traffic engineering studies and the project’s Environmental Impact
Report are available to help the contractor minimize project impacts. The Port and its agency partners have also developed a transportation management plan. The plan includes public outreach, motorist information, incident management, construction strategies and alternate route strategies. The Port has designed road closures and temporary detours to have the least amount of impact on cargo-carrying trucks leaving and entering port facilities. Crews also will repaint streets and install and optimize signals to improve traffic flow. Additionally, the Port has assigned a special team whose primary function is to monitor and coordinate the road improvement projects related to the bridge, other traffic projects in the general vicinity, and utility construction projects in or near the new bridge construction site. The Long Beach Police Department and Harbor Patrol will monitor traffic and detours with street patrols and via traffic cameras. The California Highway Patrol also will conduct enhanced patrols and enforcement near detour routes in their jurisdiction. Gerald Desmond Bridge The Gerald Desmond Bridge span originally opened in 1968. It is a major commuting route for the region and an important trade corridor carrying 15 percent of all containerized cargo imported to the United States. The bridge connects Terminal Island, the heart of the port complex, with the Interstate 710 freeway and downtown Long Beach. The original Gerald Desmond Bridge was a replacement of a pontoon bridge. The roughly 1.5-mi. span, was named after a former city attorney and councilman of the city of Long Beach. The bridge has served the needs of the port and the city for many years. Increasing traffic volumes and the ravages of time have taken a toll on the Gerald Desmond Bridge. Although it is considered safe for traffic, protective netting catches chunks of concrete that fall from the span. Economics Replacement of the bridge is expected to provide an economic boost to Long Beach and the general area. The $1.29 billion cost is expected to boost economic activity in Southern California by $2 billion and provide for 3,000 jobs per year for five years.

ground below, DWR officials became concerned that erosion could undermine the barrier. That could cause the concrete wall to collapse, causing a 30-ft. wall of water to rush into the Feather River. It was the first time that water flowed over the emergency spillway since the dam was completed in 1968. • On Feb. 12 officials detected a large hole where earth was eroding away a path of dirt toward the concrete retaining wall. • Also, on Feb. 12 more than 100,000 people were ordered to flee to higher ground. The evacuation area included Oroville and Yuba City. Lake Oroville is about 75 mi. north of Sacramento and about 25 mi. southeast of Chico. The dam is the tallest in the United States. Its emergency spillway was damaged with Lake Oroville filled to near capacity. Frantic to lower the reservoir level and stop water flowing down the emergency spillway, DWR decided to increase the amount of water flowing out of the main spillway to 100,000 cu. ft. per second to draw down the water level. If the 30-ft.-high concrete barrier at the top of the auxiliary spillway collapsed, billions of gallons of water would burst from the reservoir all at once.

Safety of Other Dams Other California dams are in need of repair including the one at Lake Isabella. Although the focus is currently on Oroville, California also is concerned about status of the dam at Lake Isabella. It was built in the 1950s by the Army Corps of Engineers along the Kern River northeast of Bakersfield on what was thought to be a dormant earthquake fault. Engineers have now determined that the fault is active, so authorities restricted the level of the lake behind it. Officials have assured nearby residents that despite recent heavy rains, the lake levels and the dam itself, remained safe. But the dam will have to be rebuilt, with a new emergency spillway, at a cost estimated at about $500 million. Construction is expected to start this year and to take at least five years to complete.

Gift of Fresh Water Coming to North Pole Via Huge Project **$0 Down, 0.99% A.P.R. fi
By Jennifer Rupp CEG CORRESPONDENT
In 2009, sulfolane was detected in drinking water wells near the North Pole Refinery, about 15 mi. east of Fairbanks. Under DEC oversight, Flint Hills Resources Alaska (FHRA), owner of the refinery, responded quickly by providing affected residents and businesses with alternative drinking water and initiating an extensive characterization effort. The sulfolane groundwater plume is currently approximately 2 mi. wide, 3.5 mi. long and more than 300 ft. deep, and continuing to migrate to the north-northwest. FHRA and the state of Alaska announced on Feb. 7th, 2017, that they will be working with the city of North Pole to significantly expand their piped public water system to provide sulfolane-free drinking water to residents impacted by the sulfolane groundwater plume. The agreement allotted for up to $100 million in project costs, along with a $1 million Operations Fund to the city of North Pole to fund the initial operation and maintenance of the finished pipeline system. Interim allocation for funding the project is split, with FHRA paying 80 percent and the state of Alaska paying 20 percent. “This is the biggest public works project

Construction on Carlsbad Cavern to Begin in August CARLSBAD, N.M. (AP) Work to fill a giant, man-made cavern that is on the verge of collapse in southern New Mexico is expected to begin in August. The state hired the engineering company Amec Foster Wheeler to design and implement the project to shore up the brine well on the edge of Carlsbad, the Carlsbad CurrentArgus reported. The cavity, which experts expect to collapse sometime in the next few years, was left by the extraction of an underground salt formation. Officials have estimated that a collapse could cause $1 billion in damages by wrecking roadways, an irrigation canal, railroads and businesses. To prevent such a catastrophe, Amec is planning to drill 26 boreholes around the site and pump in grout to stabilize the ground and to seal the cavity. Workers will use high-mobility grout to fill the open space. Low-mobility grout will be used to form a system of columns, according to Amec’s project proposal. The
existing brine solution and residuals inside the cavern will be densified to add integrity to the mass. The project expects to pump in about 833,000 cu. ft. (24,000 cu m) of grout. The plans are expected to be finalized by July with work scheduled to begin in August. Construction is expected to be completed by January 2021. Amec will continue to monitor the site for nearly two years. It expects to fully close out the project by October 2023. The backfill project is estimated to cost about $43 million. The state Legislature gave approval in February to use the excise taxes paid on vehicle sales to underwrite as much as $30 million in spending on the issue over the next three years.

Excelsior Invests $47M in Construction Costs Into New Mine COPPER from page 1
is, no matter how one goes about it, extracting copper ore from Mother Earth is a dirty job, an earth-shattering job. Nature is natural, a manmade excavation obviously is not. Consequently, every proposed mine anywhere is opposed by naturalists and other communities wanting to leave acreage undisturbed, even if that means leaving valuable minerals in the ground for perpetuity. In Arizona, mining opposition includes Native American populations.
lion takeaway in 2017. And then there’s copper. The reddish-brown mineral isn’t as ubiquitous as aggregate, but historic and operating copper mines dot a wide swath of the state running from Bisbee near the Mexican border 300 miles northwest to Jerome, which overlooks the Verde Valley in the Black Hills. Current mines are mostly clustered in the southeast quadrant of the state east of Phoenix and Tucson — and a brand-new mine is about to join them. In-Situ Mine In the fall of 2017, the state issued an operating permit for what will be Arizona’s first new copper mine in more than a decade. Vancouver-based Excelsior Mining was given permission to start developing a 9,500-acre property southeast of Tucson near Benson and Wilcox in Cochise County. As the year ended, all that remained after issuance of the state permit was a federal EPA go-ahead. Excelsior executives were not available for interviews for this article. Some $47 million in initial construction costs will be invested by Excelsior to set up a mine that is expected to produce copper for a quarter century. But it won’t look like mining to casual observers. The operation eschews traditional mining methods as imagined in popular lore. Hard-hatted miners won’t trudge into a tunnel in the side of a mountain with pickaxes resting on their shoulders. Excelsior’s Gunnison Copper Project will extract copper by
More than 300 operating mines plumb the Arizona desert landscape, most of them quarrying sand and crushed rock for industrial and commercial use — a $450 million takeaway in 2017.
employing in-situ leaching. The method involves drilling down into a copper deposit, which may have been explosively fractured for easier access. A leaching solution is pumped down the hole and dissolves the ore. The resulting solution is pumped to the surface, where the copper is extracted and processed. If all goes as planned, the mine will be brought online in stages with eventual full production of 125 million lbs. of copper cathode per year. The project is appealing to state officials because it is environmentally friendly—nearly all the water pumped into the ground is recov-
The mine is expected to produce about $1 billion in economic benefits for Arizona every year, or more than $60 billion by the time the huge copper deposit a mile down is depleted.
ered and reused — and because it will infuse Arizona’s economy with some $3 billion over the life of the mine. This low-profile copper recovery operation is quite different from the common image many people have in their minds when they think of copper mines — vast open pits. Open Pit Mining Just 90 mi. north of Wilcox is a prime example of such an operation: the Morenci mine. Owned jointly by Freeport-McMoRan and Japan’s Sumitomo Metal Mining, the Morenci operation began nearly 150 years ago as an underground undertaking and has evolved into a whole complex of surface-mining activities. Together, they constitute one of the largest open-pit mining operations in the world. The mine employs some 3,300 people and, in 2017, produced 740 million lbs. of copper. McMoRan executives declined to be interviewed. As is typical of open-pit mining, the Morenci operation has miles of benches circling each gigantic excavation. The benching allows the holes to be stair-stepped into the ground one level at a time. An upward sloping haul road is carved from the hillside for ore-bearing trucks to carry 400-ton payloads of
ore to a processor at ground level. The Morenci mine has reportedly produced as much as 900,000 metric tons of ore in a day. The mine also is the home of the world’s first commercial copper concentrate leaching-electrowinning process, which integrates sulphide treatment with other processing methods. Such a massive open-air operation has environmental implications, of course, beginning with the excavation itself. Some open-pit mines have displaced so much earth that they are plainly identifiable by orbiting astronauts. Restoring such manmade holes in the ground to a more natural and sustainable condition comes at an enormous cost, which is factored into every open-pit operating and reclamation budget. Furthermore, severe ecological impact can result from the disruption of the natural balance of water and ground cover, exacerbated by piles of accumulated waste. Widespread erosion and air and water pollution can result from all this. For example, in 2012, the Morenci operation was fined several million dollars by the U.S. Department of the Interior for air pollution violations. However, the fact of the matter
Deep Mining Near Superior, Ariz., two of the world’s largest mining companies — Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton — are developing a copper mine that is notable for its depth and for early opposition from Native American communities. Dubbed the Resolution Copper Mine, its shafts dive into the earth for more than a mile and will have laterals running between them under the copper deposit. In essence, the ore is mined from beneath, a method called block cave mining. Why would Indian tribes or any other community find such deepdown activity undesirable? Out of sight, out of mind. Yet the mined ore ultimately is moved to the surface for processing, and tailings from processes will be mounded on site. Furthermore, the removal of ore deep within the earth eventually leads to the sinking of the surface area above it. The Resolution mine depression ultimately could be a mile or so across and as deep as a thousand feet. This eventual deformation of the land, which sits on the edge of Tonto National Forest, was protested by San Carlos Apache leaders, the Sierra Club, and other environmental groups. The Apaches were concerned about water pollution. They also feared damage to sacred sites such as a cliff area called Apache Leap, even though the Resolution mining operations are 20 mi. from the San Carlos Apache Nation boundaries and outside of any areas considered sacred. For their part, environmentalists saw threats to recreational areas. A struggle to win approval of the mine went on for a full decade. Finally, in 2014, Congress approved a federal land swap that see COPPER page 56

Wheel Loader Design Involves Nuanced Advances Over Time By Eric Olson CEG CORRESPONDENT
It’s blisteringly hot outside, dust and dirt is flying all around and noise is hammering your eardrums. Such is the environment at a typical construction site in the warmer months, particularly a big job requiring a lot of earthmoving; highway projects and manufacturing plants are perfect examples. In the winter, some work sites are set in below-zero temperatures where crews can be moving large rock or mining materials. Whatever the time and place, construction machines that work efficiently, productively and afford their operators safe cabs from which to work is what all equipment manufacturers strive to produce. A perfect example is the wheel loader — a staple of most construction jobs and materials yards. The loaders themselves range in size from large, 20-cu.-yd. buckets to small utility machines with the capacity of just a few cubic yards. Mostly, though, they are known for being able to lift and move practically anything: from asphalt to dirt to snow to logs, before moving them onto trucks, railroad cars, excavation pits or conveyor belts. Design Tweaks Are the Norm Wheel loaders utilize a basic design that hasn’t changed much in decades. They sport a wide bucket connected to the end of two loader
arms that are operated hydraulically. Buckets can be removed and replaced by attachments or tools to perform even more functions. What does change about wheel loaders is that, over time, incremental design improvements are made by their makers. Those advances are made to, among other things, increase the machines’ fuel efficiency and extend their service intervals, enhance their operator ease-of-use and safety and provide features that offer faster cycle times. To accomplish that, engineers are constantly working to develop and enhance new engine and transmission technology. “Whenever companies make changes to their engines they always take that opportunity to also introduce new features and improvements to their OEM products,” noted Hugo Chang, wheel loader and compact products manager of LiuGong North America. “For instance, when we brought out our new Tier IV models about two years ago, we also increased the rated payload of the machine without changing much in the way of its physical appearance or the engine horsepower. It was done by a slight tweaking of the Z-bar linkage.” After speaking with experts and designers at several wheel loader manufacturing companies, a range of opinions emerged about just how this basic — but vital — piece of machinery will continue to evolve in the coming years.
At Case, the company redesigned the cab of its full-sized G-series wheel loaders to replace a three-paned front window with a single-paned piece of glass that is almost floor-to-ceiling to improve visibility in the front.
Value and Performance Wanted Every advance in a wheel loader’s technology or design is also made after its makers spend a lot of time learning just what equipment dealers and end-users want from the machines. That feedback often leads to a delicate balancing act for equipment makers: producing a technically-sound wheel loader at an attractive price. “Manufacturers are trying to steer their wheel loaders toward better performance for the value,” described Brad Stemper, wheel loader product manager at Case Construction Equipment, “either for more productivity for that gallon of fuel that operators are using or for longer work days and safer operation. That also translates into the maintenance and long-term service of the product. “The rule of thumb is that we are always working on the efficiencies for the operator and the fleet manager of the machines. That also means continually working on improving the powertrain systems and the hydraulic and cooling systems. As an industry, we constantly evaluate how we can improve these systems and make wheel loader use a better experience for the operator.” As wheel loaders are a very mature product, many new improvements tweak the way the basic structure performs. Evolving products such as telematics are cited by most experts as the leading new technology; others point to developments that will one day soon transform these diesel-powered workhorses into hybrid-fueled machines. “I see the trend in the industry as moving toward alternative-energy sources and technologies, similar to the automotive industry,” said Craig McGinnis, Komatsu America’s wheel loaders product marketing manager. “Every generation improves, meaning dealers and customers can look forward to increasing amounts of technology on their machines to add new levels of automation and control that improve machine productivity and performance.” McGinnis added that these new electronics, like Komatsu’s full auto-dig feature, found on the maker’s mid-size loaders, have
“Many manufacturers, like Doosan, offer a vast number of interchangeable bolt-on teeth options for general purpose, light material and multi-purpose buckets,” said Aaron Kleingartner, marketing manager for Doosan Infracore North America.
been designed to help less-experienced operators quickly learn how to run their machines. “Ultimately, this means customers can maintain a consistently high level of production no matter what their work force looks like on any given day,” he continued. Through the refinement and use of telematics on wheel loaders, real-time data allows operators to boost their day-to-day performance to speed up cycle times, thereby increasing productivity. And, with the right intelligence, they can do it safer and without excessive fuel use. Owners, too, enjoy the benefits of telematics because the technology gives them the ability to remotely see their equipment working live to review the progress of job-site productivity. One example of telematics assisting loader operators is the data provided on bucket payload to achieve the optimal load. To that end, Volvo Construction Equipment recently updated its Load Assist OnBoard Weighing application on several of its wheel loader models, according to the company’s Eric Yeomans. “With these updates, operators are now getting real-time information on every bucket’s load within plus-or-minus 1 percent accuracy, helping them reduce over-loading, under-loading, reweighing and waiting times,” explained Yeomans, a wheel loader product manager. At Hyundai Construction
Equipment, Chad Parker, a senior product specialist and sales trainer, said that just as telematics systems are used on health-monitoring devices, he predicts the same technology will be installed on wheel loaders. “I can see additional alarms and sensors coming that will warn operators of hazardous ground conditions, such as an approaching bank or water hazard,” he forecasted. “They will become standard with a braking system to bring the machine to a stop. These sensors will also prevent wheel loader arms from moving in the event there is an on-coming object within a certain distance.” Designs to Excite Consumers A variety of opinions were offered on what the “next big thing” may be on wheel loaders — what technologies will excite dealers, fleet managers and operators of the equipment. Dustin Hoogeveen, Hitachi Construction Machinery Loader America’s district product support manager, predicted that 3-D aerial monitoring backup cameras, equipped with custom distance settings, a feature currently being tested, will soon be on its wheel loaders. “Hitachi currently has loaders working in hot slag via remote control, but I can easily see redundant or repetitive operations being see DESIGN page 44

FOUR SEASONS EQUIPMENT, INC. Doosan Infracore North America LLC has extended its wheel loader lineup with the DL280-5 wheel loader. The DL280-5 is part of the popular category of 3- to 4-cu. yd. wheel loaders. The Doosan DL280-5 is designed to provide operators with enhanced performance and comfort as well as increased uptime protection when working in general construction, scrap and waste-handling applications, according to the manufacturer. The 172-hp DL280-5 is manufactured with a standard Zbar lift-arm linkage and is ideal for scooping, loading, carrying and general construction tasks. Operators requiring additional dumping capabilities into trucks and hoppers will benefit from the high-lift Z-bar configuration available on the DL280-5. The high-lift iteration provides an additional 18 in. (45.7 cm) of dump height, making it especially beneficial in construction, mining and agriculture market segments. Inside the cab, Doosan DL280-5 wheel loaders are equipped with an upgraded standard forward-neutral-reverse (FNR) joystick control/gear selector for greater comfort and productivity. The FNR functionality on the joystick is more intuitive, allowing operators to easily switch between forward, neutral and reverse without removing his or her hand from the controls simply by pressing the joystick buttons. An exclusive feature on the DL280-5 is its optional wide fin radiator, which has a standard six fins per inch, and is available in a package with heavy-duty axles. The wide fin radiator option provides better cooling with larger fin spacing, helping to filter out dust and debris, which can be particularly helpful in scrap, recycling and solid waste applications. Heavy-Duty Axle Option For additional machine performance in scrap and recycling applications, the DL280-5 can be equipped with heavyduty axles. The heavy-duty axles allow owners to use solid tires to improve uptime in applications where pneumatic tires are susceptible to puncture. DL280-5 owners should work with their local Doosan dealer to determine the best solid tire option for their machine. Optional Guarding Package The DL280-5 wheel loader can be equipped with an optional guarding package to protect critical wheel loader
components when working in harsh conditions — such as scrap processing, waste transfer stations, recycling and demolition — to help minimize machine downtime. The dealer-installed wheel loader guarding package includes the following: • Air-intake protection filter/screen • Articulation area guards • Axle seal guards • Belly pan guards (front and rear) • Boom cylinder hose and tube guards • Bucket cylinder guards • Center hinge guards • Drive shaft guard • Headlight and taillight guards • Heavy-duty front frame cover plate • Steer cylinder guards • Under cab guards • Valve stem guards • Windshield guards Easy Attachment Changes Versatility is important to wheel loader owners when they’re working, especially when they want to change attachments quickly. The DL280-5 has an optional quick coupler to easily change attachments, including buckets (general purpose, light material or multi-purpose) and pallet forks. Doosan Telematics Doosan DL280-5 wheel loaders come with a standard three-year subscription to Doosan telematics, which allows equipment owners and fleet managers to remotely monitor machine location, hours, fuel usage, engine idle versus work time and error codes, as well as engine and hydraulic temperatures. Machines can be monitored via an online Doosan telematics account. In addition, Doosan dealers can provide improved customer support using the system by responding to machine warning messages and alerts, troubleshooting machine issues, and then sending a field service vehicle to help with repairs and deliver the proper parts.

‘Sprucing Up the Office’ Key to Wheel Loader Enhancements DESIGN from page 38
conducted autonomously in the future, too,” he added. His colleague Mel Wade, an engineering manager at Hitachi, agrees that autonomous operation is just around the corner, but adds that upgrades to basic wheel loader efficiency will be the applications that will most interest people. “The technology in transmissions is continuing to come a long way in providing smooth and reliable performance, as well as high durability,” he explained. “Acrossthe-board powertrain design, engineering and manufacturing have made more dependable axles, transmissions and engines. We are now seeing high-engine output and realizing increased efficiency, without compromising durability.” Customers should also expect to see wheel loader functions that help operators achieve the correct torque in all situations, maintain a steady throttle position and reduce wheel slippage, according to Yeomans at Volvo. Some manufacturers are also exploring the feasibility of electrichybrid loaders. Volvo, for example, has developed its LX1 prototype. In tests, Yeomans said it has achieved an approximately 50 percent improvement in fuel efficiency compared to its conventional frontend loaders. The advance is due to the use of a driveline consisting of electric drive motors and hydraulics, a battery energy-storage system, as well as a smaller diesel engine and new overall machine design. He also touted the LX1’s significant reduction in noise pollution compared to conventional front-end loaders. “It’s important to note that the LX1 is a prototype and that we don’t have any immediate plans to launch it commercially,” he added. “But, it offers a glimpse into the new technologies that we are testing.” Loader Arms Key to Machine’s Design Loader arms are one component of the vehicle where consumers should not expect to see radical redesigns with each new model year, said Case’s Stemper. “They are part of a cohesive unit on the machine; they aren’t just
Hitachi is constantly studying bucket shape to increase the efficiency of the tool, said Mel Wade, an engineering manager at Hitachi.
bolted on and ready to go to work,” he explained. “They also depend on the balance of the machine and the power under it. You can continually make the loader arms bigger, but to get a longer reach, you are going to need to keep in mind the undercarriage and the chassis. “With loader arms, any redesign is a long, intensive process during which there may be a few years between refinements. You don’t want a running design change to loader arms because it can influence so much of the design of the entire machine.” One of the basic designs of today’s loaders is in the style of their arm configuration. Welldesigned loader arms allow for better weight distribution, which provides safer load carrying and prevents twisting of the arms and front chassis of the machine. The Z-linkage configuration has established dominance because of its simplicity and digging force, while the parallel-lift style gives operators better visibility and handling finesse. Yet another design uses a shooting boom, or telescopic arrangement, reported Tammi Snodgrass, National Marketing Manager at Takeuchi U.S. “Using these booms on a wheel loader provides the operator with additional reach, greater dump height and the ability to stack and place materials in construction and agricultural applications,” she said. Chang, at LiuGong North America, believes Z-linkage is a “pretty tried-and-true” loader-arm design and one that he thinks is the
best for his company’s machine. “It’s a proven design, accounting for about 80 to 90 percent of all the loader arms on the market,” he added. At Hyundai, though, Parker believes the parallel-lift arms are making a comeback due to better engineering. “Machines that use them have extreme visibility without the obstruction of a Z-linkage or torque parallel bar,” he explained. “You get the benefits of highbreakout force, maximum visibility and the ability to pick the payload level.” Engineers at Hitachi are currently testing a boom arm on its loaders that is a combination of the two major designs. “The PZ [parallel, Z-linkage] configuration maintains the best of both worlds: fewer parts to be maintained, greater breakout force at ground level, an ability to maintain the parallel lifting through the lift cycle,” described Wade. “In the future, the machine will sense and adjust automatically during the lift-cycle to maintain its best levellifting capability.” More Specialized Attachments on the Way Wheel loader experts predict that attachments (and buckets) for the machine will continue to be refined — mostly by after-market suppliers. Those companies can concentrate on making specific wheel loader components without having to develop the entire machine. But, once they refine an attachment, the loader manufactur-
ers then work to design their product to work better with that attachment. As an example, the side-dump bucket evolved from a standard bucket when contractors requested a loader that could do that. “We see attachments becoming more specialized, depending on the application, worksite environment, material, material density, operator experience and even the weather,” said Sam Shelton, Hitachi’s marketing manager. “The weight of the attachment itself in some applications is significant. Customers are looking for attachments that last, don’t add additional weight, are balanced and will fill quickly without resistance. This reduces cycle times, which results in increased productivity.” Hitachi is constantly studying bucket shape to increase the efficiency of the tool, said Wade. That includes studying ways to reduce bucket drag and ease fill, which, in turn, saves on equipment wear and tear, fuel use and overall operational expenses. Most OEMs offer a comprehensive range of buckets and attachments designed for a specific kind of work. Applications requiring moderate breakout force are standard throughout the industry, but some companies, like Volvo, offer wheel loaders with heavy-duty, general-purpose buckets made with wear-resistant steel for performance longevity. The maker also has units with straight-edge rock buckets for loading easily broken material from banks, as well as spade-nose rock buckets for breaking out hard, stony material and shot rock. “It’s important for contractors to know that bucket volume alone is not an adequate measure of the capacity of a loader — the crucial factor is the ability of a wheel loader to fill the bucket during every pass,” said Volvo’s Yeomans. General-purpose buckets are the most common bucket-design for maximum filling and material retention on wheel loaders. The design works best in day-to-day material handling or when working in a wide range of densities such as general aggregates in construction. “Contractors who work in
rugged, difficult soil conditions may want to add rugged, groundengaging tools to enhance the performance of their wheel loader and bucket,” explained Aaron Kleingartner, marketing manager of Doosan Infracore North America. “Many manufacturers, like Doosan, offer a vast number of interchangeable bolt-on teeth options for general purpose, light material and multi-purpose buckets. Weld-on teeth are typically offered for heavier-duty buckets, such as rock buckets, to reduce wear.” Attachments used on loaders can range from a traditional pin-on bucket to grapples requiring extra hydraulic lines and controls. At Komatsu, several of its loaders feature single-lever work equipment controls with an integrated auxiliary switch allowing the operator to control the attachment with his or her thumb. “As we release new models, we are continuously updating our bucket design,” noted the company’s Craig McGinnis. “The WA500-8 and WA600-8 loaders feature new buckets with improved loading performance that increased overall machine efficiency. The WA480-8, for one, sports a brand-new bucket design with generous curves on the sidewalls for better pile penetration. This design feature also improves carry performance, spilling less material while moving around the job site.” Sprucing Up the Office With operators having to work many hours inside the cab, just like in an office, an emphasis has lately been placed on making the experience as intuitive and comfortable as possible. This, of course, leads to better productivity and will hopefully mean reduced employee turnover for contractors. “If the machine is too complex or the user is not really sure how to use it, they are not going to get anything out of it,” said Case’s Stemper. “We want to improve the systems and how they interface more easily with the user. As the pool of trained and experienced operators seems to be getting smaller, we are trying to reduce the learning curve so that they can be productive and efficient on the see DESIGN page 50

Customers Heavily Influence Designs KIRBY-SMITH MACHINERY INC.
Customers should expect to see wheel loader functions that help operators achieve the correct torque in all situations, maintain a steady throttle position and reduce wheel slippage, according to Eric Yeomans at Volvo. DESIGN from page 44
machines earlier in their careers.” Each loader manufacturer looks to improve visibility and ergonomics within the cab, while also installing automotive-style interiors with cleaner lines. Product experts see better operator visibility on the horizon to complement the lower corner and door windows already built into many loaders. Detection systems, too, are being produced that afford the cabs and platforms a 360-degree view. For instance, at Case, the company redesigned the cab of its full-sized Gseries wheel loaders to replace a threepaned front window with a singlepaned piece of glass that is almost floor-to-ceiling to improve visibility in the front. In addition, there is more glass in the back and on the sides, along with standard rear-view cameras on every model, Stemper said. To keep worksite noise from interfering with an operator being able to concentrate on his job, the makers also are engineering better sound insulation with noise-cancelling devices. Among the other features envisioned within a loader cab are hands-free communications and improved sensors capable of reading, analyzing and responding to changes in terrain, materials, operator behavior, etc., all without intervention from the operator. “The science of ergonomics is constantly evolving, especially regarding operator controls,” added Wade at Hitachi. “For instance, we just updated the joystick steering to be more ergonomically-controlled. Soon, the hydraulic loader controls will be part of the seat assembly. They’re consistent with the operator movement, rather than controls located on the stationary

console. “ Finally, inside cab air quality is being addressed through controlled filtration, tightly-sealed cabs, and optional air-filtration systems for environmentally-challenging areas. OEMs Utilize Customer Feedback Every design improvement on wheel loaders is heavily influenced by what the manufacturers call “Voice of Customer,” or VOC for short. Doosan, for instance, regularly works with its customers and dealers to gather feedback about its products and uses the data to enhance and improve its products. Input gathered from the VOC process has led to enhancements in Doosan wheel loader iterations that have produced new developments in productivity, performance, operator comfort, visibility and fuel efficiency, according to the company’s
Kleingartner. “VOC is probably the most important feedback we get,” said Case’s Stemper. “Engineers tend to think of these products differently than customers. At our company, we concentrate on customers’ needs and making an evaluation on what they are asking for. But, we also try to understand what they are implying in what they are asking. It is not only the specific words that are being said, but how they are being said and the context of when they are said that gives us the most insight about their needs. “Part of that process is also driving to where they are using the equipment and observe them doing so while trying to understand the nuances of their feedback.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s website at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Arizona Eyes $1B in Benefits From New Copper Mine COPPER from page 36
allowed the project to begin. To develop the mine on their 2,400 acres, the two international mining companies bought up and exchanged 5,300 acres of prime recreational, conservation and culturally significant land elsewhere in the state. In addition, near Apache Leap — where 75 trapped Apaches warriors are said to have leapt to their deaths rather than surrender to U.S. Cavalry soldiers — 142 acres were donated by Resolution Copper Mine to the U.S. Forest Service as a part of an 839-acre special management area in which mining will be barred. In the four years since the agreement finally was reached, Resolution Copper company officials have continued to meet with area residents in Superior, where the company is headquartered. The “community working group” meets in the Superior Chamber of Commerce office and includes leaders from towns situated across the local area and San Carlos Apache representatives. Topics range from social and environmental impact issues to air
er in a cooperative way to help shape the project.” According to Resolution Copper spokesman Jonathan Ward, an Arizona State University survey shows some lingering opposition to the project, but 85 percent of the local community now approves of it. Maintaining such support is important because the mine is still a decade away from beginning production. Currently, the mine’s engineers are both digging and data collecting. The digging is happening in No. 9 shaft, a vertical excavation that drops 4,800 ft. A concrete tube, 21 ft. in diameter, is being constructed inside it. The shaft was created in 1971 for a previous mining operation on the site and now is being rehabilitated and deepened to 6,800 ft., a process that will take two more years. At the bottom of the shaft, a lateral tunnel will be excavated that will connect to shaft No. 10. That shaft — which required removal of 475,000 tons of rock — is an all-new penetration of the site. Its tube is 28 ft. in diam-

quality, health standards and recreational changes. “We’ve been working with the community and Native Americans for many years now, collaborating, having dialogue, listening and providing input,” said Kyle Bennett, principal advisor of communications at Rio Tinto Kennecott in Utah. Kennecott is a subsidiary of Rio Tinto. “In January, the U.S. Forest Service finalized a plan after a consultation process with 12 tribes and, in addition, the Town of Superior. We are starting to see all the stakeholders coming togeth-
eter and bottoms out almost 7,000 ft. below the surface. The two shafts skirt the edge of what is expected to become North America’s biggest copper mine, with some two billion metric tons of copper-bearing ore awaiting recovery. Over the 40-year life of the mine, additional shafts will be sunk alongside the deposit. Because air pressure and geothermal factors raise temperatures so far underground — to well above 120 degrees Fahrenheit in some cases — fans and refrigerator units are being installed at various depths to pump cooling air into
the tunnels as well as into deep-underground computer work stations and offices adjacent to the shaft. (The heat is, of course, not a local phenomenon. Some South African mines are almost 2.5 mi. deep and have bottom temperatures in the range of 140 degrees Fahrenheit.) Topside, ongoing work at Resolution includes reclamation activity stemming from the site’s old Magma Mine. This year, some 125 Resolution employees are working above and below ground. At full production, after the shafts are functioning and the processing and transportation facilities are built, the mine will have a workforce of 1,400 people. Pre-production investments for deep mining are as massive as the operation itself. Some $600 million is being expended just to sink and prepare the two shafts. In all, $7 billion is expected to be spent by the partnering companies before the first copper ore is raised to the surface. Analysts for Londonbased Rio Tinto, which owns 55 percent of the project, are betting the price of the commodity will stay high enough over the long haul to recoup all that expense and then some. During the last decade, the price of a pound of copper has ranged from $2 up to $4. As of mid-April, it stood at $3.13. What must the price average in the years ahead for the mine to be profitable? Bennett, the Rio Tinto Kennecott spokesman from Utah, would only say it all depends. “You have to measure that on a caseby-case basis. A lot of factors come into play, including development costs and production,” he said. “I would say in general we invest in long-life, low-cost assets. We feel that geologically this is going to be one of the greatest copper assets in the world once we have a chance to actually mine it.” Which is good news for Arizona. As Bennett puts it, Resolution Copper Mine will provide “a significant financial contribution to the state of Arizona and local economies. The economic piece of the operation is very strong.” Specifically, the mine is expected to produce about $1 billion in economic benefits for Arizona every year, or more than $60 billion by the time the huge copper deposit a mile down is depleted.

Mining Engineer Goes Deep to Study Arizona From Below Kim Huether is into rock. Deep into it. The Rio Tinto mining engineer is responsible for leading technical studies of the Resolution Copper Mine project near Superior, Ariz. Specifically, she is studying southeast Arizona geology more than a mile below the surface of the mine’s entrance where a massive deposit of copper-bearing ore awaits recovery. That sounds like pretty interesting stuff to those of us whose day consists of pushing paper at a desk or sitting in commuter traffic twice a day. Huether said she also finds it interesting, even though she has been at it for 20 years. “It is still exciting. Every mine has its own appeal.” Huether has been on Kim Huether the Resolution Copper Mine site for 14 months, but it isn’t her first deep-mine experience. A graduate of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, she has studied deep-underground mines — as well as other types of ore-recovery operations — for company properties elsewhere in the United States as well as in Australia, Indonesia and Mongolia. This one in Arizona is a different professional experience because the mine is still being developed. “I actually have quite a passion for this project,” she said. “It is challenging and exciting to be in on it this early. A lot of the other operations in which I was involved were already operating and I was only trying to make them better.” She was asked if the Resolution Copper Mine is technically challenging in any way. “They all seem challenging,” she said. “I think the most challenging thing about it is the depth. We are down 7,000 ft. and with that comes some really significant challenges, geotechnical challenges, like how the rock is going to behave at that depth.” She hopes to stay with the Resolution project for the next couple of stages of development and perhaps longer and watch a mine move almost from inception to production. For now, she is settling in for a few years of data-gathering. Drilling information. Extensive monitoring of underground conditions. Environmental studies. To a commuting paper-pusher, that all sounds a trifle boring. Not to an engineer, however. “It is quite interesting, actually,” Huether said. For a woman to be in this critical management position on a project of this scope is somewhat notable, but Huether said she is not breaking a glass ceiling or anything. “There are quite a few of us [women] out there in these positions and have been for quite a while. We are very lucky.”

Auto cut, which comes standard on the company’s RX-600 cold planer, allows milling machine operators to easily raise the mill, walk over obstacles, walk back into the cut, and resume milling at same depth, without reprogramming or delay, according to the manufacturer.
Roadtec debuted its auto cut technology at World of Asphalt. Auto cut comes standard on the company’s RX-600 Cold Planer. Auto cut allows milling machine operators to easily raise the mill, walk over obstacles, walk back into the cut, and resume milling at same depth, without reprogramming or delay, according to the manufacturer. Auto cut is paired with ACE, Roadtec’s grade and slope sensor system, and uses
averaging skis and end gate sensors. Each leg of the machine is controlled by a different sensor, gathering four data points, which means the data is more accurate. Data is continuously updated and displayed, keeping the crew on the same page at all times. For more information, visit www.roadtec.com.

Liebherr 50 M5 XXT Concrete Pump Provides Cost Efficiency Liebherr USA Co.’s 50 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump extends the range of truck mounted concrete pumps from Liebherr. The multi-folding five section boom is extremely easy to operate with perfect kinematics and the alternating pipework close to the boom ensures uniform movements over the construction site. With a vertical reach of 161 ft. (49.1 m) and a horizontal reach of 146 ft. (44.4 m), the compactly designed truck mounted concrete pump provides remarkable working ranges. An innovative highlight is the newly developed boom pedestal. Despite considerable weight reduction, the stability was increased even further. The slewing ring and drive are proprietary Liebherr components that play a crucial role. There are four different pump unit options for the 50 M5 XXT. This enables outputs of 180 to 218 cu. yd. (138 to 167 cu m) per hour. Two of these variants are long-
stroke versions with a conveyance stroke of 2,400 mm, which are particularly smooth and efficient. Compact Construction, Lower Weight Depending on the chassis, the total length of the new Liebherr truck-mounted concrete pump is around 39 ft. (12 m) in the transport position. The new boom is particularly compact and has virtually no projection. This guarantees safe driving properties and exceptional handling on the construction site. Innovative XXT Outrigger System Liebherr’s XXT narrow support is stable and warp-resistant. The front and rear support arms are affixed directly to the distributor boom pedestal, which directs the forces from the boom into the supports directly without deviations. All four support arms are pivotable. This enables high flexibility and an extremely wide working range for distributor boom on nar-
The 50 M5 XXT truck-mounted concrete pump by Liebherr provides better cost efficiency and many innovations for increased customer benefits.
row supports. This is a huge benefit on construction sites with limited space. Chassis from different manufacturers can be used for Liebherr’s truck-mounted concrete pumps. A wide range of optional accessories and equipment are available for the 50 M5 XXT. Customers can choose from additional storage compartments, a modular water tank or additional steps on the left-
hand side. A high-pressure cleaner makes cleaning easier and a pneumatic hose end air cuff prevents concrete from running out when the pump unit is stopped. Concrete Technology Solutions The new 50 M5 XXT is the latest addition to the rapidly expanding product portfolio of Liebherr truck-mounted concrete pumps.
The Liebherr Concrete Technology division provides a diverse range of concrete technology solutions, including the development and manufacturing of high-quality truck mixers, mixing plants and concrete pumps. The range is complemented by additional concrete products, including conveyor belts for truck mixers and plant control systems. Together these products are designed for cost-effective, trouble-free mixing, transportation and installation of concrete. In addition, a development specifically for the North American market, Liebherr offers a MTS, mobile twin shaft mixer, which allows customers to transform their dosing plant into a wet batch plant within a very short time. The MTS is the ideal solution for road and mass concreting jobsite requirements. For more information, visit www.liebherr.us.
