The project extends the existing 183A Toll Road 6.6-mi. northward from Hero Way in Leander, Texas, to north of SH 29 in Liberty Hill, Texas. It will provide greater mobility and connectivity for commuter and commercial traffic.

Lane Construction Company was awarded a

$175.5 million “design-bid-build” delivery method contract in 2020 and expects to deliver the project in 2025.

The project includes the construction of two tolled lanes in each direction, an adjacent shared use path from Hero Way to Seward Junction see TEXAS page 32

Versatile Skid-Steer Attachment Helps Okla. Parks Dept.

From towering sand dunes and refreshing lakes to forested retreats and cool caverns, Oklahoma’s state parks are ready to whisk adventurers away on great outdoor experiences.

Whether lacing up a pair of hiking boots or looking for some relaxing fun in the sun, the scenic beauty of these varied ecoregions and impressive natural resources is sure to provide breathtaking moments. But how exactly do these environments remain so picturesque?

Enter Josh Baker, a forestry technician with one of the Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews.

Baker and his colleagues utilize two of Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.

“Our experience with these disc mulchers has been exceptional,” said Baker. “They have impressed us with their ability to maintain and elevate the look of our state parks and are well-constructed to take the abuse that forestry work puts our equipment through.”

Before purchasing their Diamond Mowers disc mulchers, Baker and his team were limited to cutting everything they encountered by hand. Then they realize Diamond attachments were ideal for use in rural environments — the versatile 60 in. attachments can cut through trees as large as 14 in. in diameter and continuously mulch material up to 6 in. in diameter.

Four-point hardened steel teeth inside the deck shell act like axe blades to slice though broken branches and trees, while their aggressive design effectively grabs and pulls in material for processing.

“The mulchers are quite easy to use and have become a huge asset to our fleet,”

The Oklahoma State Parks Department’s regional construction crews utilize two of Diamond Mowers’ SK Disc Mulcher Pro X attachments on their compact track loaders (CTLs) to not only shred Cedar, Cottonwood, Oak and Salt Cedar trees common in their service areas, but also clear roadways, campsites, hiking trails, fence lines, mower pathways and more.

The SK Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in two sizes: a 48 in. unit optimal for smaller skid-steers operating in compact spaces, and a 60 in. unit ideal for tackling projects in open, rural areas where there’s a need to clear large areas quickly.

added Baker. “They attach to our CTLs quickly and easily, and after watching a few tutorial videos on proper operating techniques, they were a breeze to get the hang of.”

Baker noted that the difference between what the mulchers do compared to cutting everything by hand is “unmatched.”

Between land clearing, site preparation, forestry management and even storm and disaster cleanup, the Disc Mulcher Pro X’s versatility has proven to be a key ally for tackling a variety of applications.

The SK Disc Mulcher Pro X is available in two sizes: a 48 in. unit optimal for smaller skid-steers operating in compact spaces, and a 60 in. unit ideal for tackling projects in open, rural areas where there’s a need to clear large areas quickly. It is available with three motor options and is compatible with both standard and high-flow hydraulic machines.

When asked about the value and cost of the disc mulchers, Baker reiterated how important they’ve been to him and his team.

“The design of the attachments and their ease of operation has allowed us to increase efficiency like never before. If I were in the market for a mulcher, I’d purchase this one and be extremely happy,” said Baker.

Diamond Mowers offers a wide range of specialized cutting attachments compatible with most tractor, skid-steer, wheel loader, and excavator brands.

Designed to carry 8,500 lbs., the beam eventually cracked after 12,000 lbs. of load were added.

(L-R) are Mohamed Ismail, Emily Baker and Bette Poblete at the U of A Civil Engineering Research and Education Center.

MIT Researcher Tests Innovative Steel-Concrete Beam On a recent July day, representatives from the University of Arkansas (UA) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) gathered at the Harvell Civil Engineering Research and Education Center on the UA campus in Fayetteville to conduct a stress test on a concrete beam.

Now, such tests typically do not attract many onlookers, but this demonstration was meant to showcase a collaborative new approach to beam design and optimization.

The man responsible for the beam’s design was Mohamed Ismail, a Ph.D. student in building technology at MIT — a discipline existing at the intersection of architecture and engineering. He was on hand to witness the crushing test in person and seemed vaguely nervous that the beam might not perform as expected — a feeling heightened by the unusual degree of attention the stress test was receiving.

The fruits of research are not always immediately clear, but the nature of the test — hydraulic press versus concrete beam — brought out the various colleges’ social media staff, who recognized strong visual content when they saw it, according to a recent news article on the UA website.

Goal Is to Become More Efficient With Less Among Ismail’s research interests is increasing the structural efficiency of building materials. In the case of concrete beams, that means minimizing the amount of concrete and steel used, including removing concrete from where it is not needed, and retaining it where it is. This resulted in his beam having a flat top but a base that curved in unanticipated ways.

He estimated that the beam in question contained 40 percent less embodied carbon — the amount of carbon burned to produce the concrete and steel used in the beam — than standard rectangular beams.

This is important for reasons of both sustainability and economy, Ismail noted, as he has his eye on the developing world, where urban growth is expected to surge.

“You’re looking at places where there’s going to be a need for high density construction,” he explained. “So that means going up, going vertical and doing it safely. And, really, the only material that’s widely available and accessible to most of those regions is concrete, so concrete’s expected to be the number one material we use today. And it’s expected to just go up in use because we really haven’t found [any other] material that’s able to meet demands and still be safe.”

Bette Poblete, a graduate research assistant in civil engineering at UA who was conducting the stress test, noted it was one of the more interesting beam shapes she had encountered.

“Ordinarily, we test rectangular beams,” she said. “There are a couple reasons we do this: it simplifies some of our calculations and makes the construction more straightforward.

In terms of calculations, we rely on the geometric dimensions to help predict the strength of the beams. Before we test any member, we calculate the predicted load at which it will fail. Then, we’ll compare our predicted loads to the actual loads. Since we use simpler shapes ordinarily, it makes the entire process easier.”

In terms of testing Ismail’s beam, Poblete added, “This beam was longer than we usually test, so getting it into our load frame posed a fun challenge. We ended up using our crane and forklift simultaneously to place it on our supports.

Also, since the beam was trapezoidal at the ends, we had to be especially careful not to chip the corners.”

Unique Geometric Shaping Techniques Although there are undoubtedly similar testing facilities closer to Boston, where Ismail lives and is a doctoral student at arguably the best research university in the world, he came to UA to crush his beam for two reasons: Emily Baker and Edmund Harriss.

Baker is both an Arkansas graduate and a current assistant

professor in the Fay Jones School of Architecture and Design, while Harriss is a clinical assistant professor in math in the university’s Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences.

Together, they have been working on what they have dubbed the “Zip-Form” system. It arose out of an art project Harriss created through the Honors College, which ultimately became the 12-ft.-tall Curvahedra sculpture outside UA’s Gearhart Hall — a spherical structure composed of a few curving steel strands.

Harriss, whose primary work is in geometry, also holds an appointment in the School of Art. His stated desire is “to put mathematics in a playful, choice-driven space where people can play with or appreciate mathematics through art and sculpture.”

When he needed someone who could help fabricate the shapes he was dreaming up, using complex geometry, he reached out to Baker for help.

“I am deeply interested in exploring and innovating new ways of making physical objects and buildings,” Baker explained.

As such, making Harriss’ sculpture a reality posed a fun challenge for her. She ultimately created a jig, or clamping setup, to allow flat sections to be successfully attached, or “zipped,” into curving steel forms. This method, paired with Harriss’ computational formulations, became the basis for their Zip-Form construction system, producing highly accurate 3D curves with simplified fabrication techniques.

The efficient and economical software and manufacturing process proved so novel that the university, through its Technology Ventures office, later filed a provisional patent.

UA System Creates Formwork for Test Beam While the Zip-Form system was clearly innovative and could produce pleasing structures, Baker and Harriss knew there were more practical applications. see RESEARCH page 58

Case Launches Minotaur DL550 Compact Dozer Loader

The hallmark advancement of the Case Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated C-frame with six-way dozer blade. The C-frame hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler.

Case Construction Equipment is launching an all-new, industry-first equipment category with the introduction of the Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader.

Weighing in at more than 18,000 lbs. and working with 114 hp, the new first-of-itskind machine delivers true dozing and grading performance, as well as powerful site loading capabilities and compatibility with hundreds of attachments, the manufacturer said.

A single platform has never delivered this level of versatility, power and precision — all culminating in an entirely new product category created by Case: the compact dozer loader.

“The Minotaur is truly a fleet of one, that is second to none,” said Jeff Jacobsmeyer, product manager, Case. “Business owners and fleet managers looking for a compact solution that delivers countless benefits in a single footprint will immediately see the versatility this exciting new machine brings to their fleets and will quickly understand what a ‘compact dozer loader’ is capable of accomplishing.”

“It’s what the industry has asked for,” he added. “Customer input has been a major part of the design and engineering process since the first concepts were discussed, and the result is an entirely purpose-built, inten-

tionally designed machine proudly built here in the United States.”

The hallmark advancement of the Case Minotaur DL550 is the chassis-integrated Cframe with six-way dozer blade. The Cframe hydraulically couples into both the chassis of the machine, as well as the attachment coupler.

This design provides the stability and smooth operating plane of a small dozer while ensuring that all operating power is channeled through the whole body of the machine. This establishes greater performance and long-term reliability than the simple combination of a dozer blade attachment to a traditional compact track loader, the manufacturer said.

It also comes standard with Case Universal Machine Control, which makes the machine ready for any of the major three providers of machine control technology, which are sold separately. It’s also available with an optional, industry-exclusive fully integrated ripper for tearing up tough terrain to simplify dozing and earthmoving operations.

The C-frame is then detached to allow the operator to use it as a loader with a heavyduty 1.25-cu. yd. bucket, or with hundreds of common loader attachments many equipment owners already have in their fleet.

The Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader has pushed through more than 10,000 hours of field tests, in addition to countless customer clinics and typical lab and engineering testing.

“We’ve put this machine through hell and back — pound for pound, there’s no machine like it that delivers the dozing power and precision, as well as the dynamic loading performance,” said Jacobsmeyer.

“This groundbreaking, all-new machine demonstrates Case’s commitment to delivering real-world innovation rooted in customer need.”

True Dozer Performance in Compact Footprint Built on a dozer-style undercarriage and pushing with more than 25,000 lbs. of drawbar pull, the Case Minotaur DL550 delivers true dozing power and performance. The machine is available with three different track options to meet operator preference and jobsite profiles: • 14-in. single-grouser steel tracks • 18-in. triple-grouser steel tracks • 17.7-in. rubber tracks The 90- or 96-in. six-way blade connected to the integrated C-frame is the same blade featured on the Case 650M dozer and gives

the operator a full range of dozer controls and movements. The machine’s electrohydraulic controls also deliver responsiveness like full-sized Case dozers, with the ability to adjust blade, steering and shuttle sensitivity to smooth, moderate or aggressive to meet the operator’s preference.

Blade responsiveness can be further dialed in to operator preference by independently setting the speed of the blade tilt, lift and angle.

The industry-exclusive, fully integrated rear ripper is easily controlled from within the cab — it comes standard with three shanks and can be expanded to five shanks for more aggressive ripping. The rear ripper feature must be selected when ordering as it cannot be added after the time of purchase.

“The Case Minotaur DL550 is built like a dozer with the full control and operator experience of a larger machine,” said Jacobsmeyer. “That includes the ability to deploy a full range of 2D and 3D machine control solutions that turn this machine into a compact fine grading solution that can get into areas and job sites where it’s not practical to bring in a full-sized dozer.”

Case Universal Machine Control provides universal harnesses and brackets to integrate machine control solutions from any of the see MINOTAUR page 56

Hitachi’s Sam Shelton Retires After 27 Years With Company After 27 years with Kawasaki Loaders and now Hitachi Construction Machinery America, communications manager Sam Shelton is officially retired effective Aug. 1.

Anyone who is familiar with her overall work, her talents in company photography and writing, her meeting and event coordination, and on and on, knows that her career was based on excellence and perfection in every task she undertook — anything less wasn’t acceptable to her.

Shelton was not only a strong advocate marketer for the Kawasaki/Hitachi brand, she also immersed herself in the study of the industry. She championed and heavily participated in the functions of many of the organizations that guide the heavy equipment industry and ones that continue to make a change within the equipment industry. Shelton’s participation on the AEM MarComm Council, and her stint as the MarComm Council Chairman, was just part of her overall passion for being involved in the industry.

Recently, the staff at Hitachi Construction Americas held

a luncheon at the company’s North American headquarters in Newnan, Ga., where more than 100 coworkers, friends, local vendors and others turned out to say goodbye, laude her achievements and wish her the best of luck.

Company CEO Al Quinn praised Shelton for her passion and persistence, but mostly for how she truly supported the changes within the organization over the years and was

“always looking to take care of the dealers’ needs and to keep those needs at the forefront of her agenda.”

“She’s been a great asset to the company,” said Quinn.

Vice President Simon Wilson said that Shelton was instrumental in providing him with background information and insight on the company when he joined several years ago. see SHELTON page 22

“It makes me proud that I was a part of her career.

She’s probably the most multi-tasked person in this room.”

Gary Bell Hitachi Construction Machinery America

Hitachi Construction Machinery Americas CEO Al Quinn (C) and Vice President Simon Wilson (R) presented Shelton with a numbered print of a watercolor piece that she had commissioned by artist Gary Wright commemorating the expansion of HCMA into the excavator and mining equipment markets. The print was signed by all employees. The original framed piece hangs in Hitachi’s headquarters.

Sam and Bill Shelton took one last opportunity to putter around the new Hitachis on the yard.

It was a bittersweet retirement party for these three. This year marks the 25th anniversary that the team of (L-R) Lynn Nolan of H&W Solutions; Andi Counts of Veridian Design; and Sam Shelton have all worked closely for creation of some of the industry’s most creative and innovative marketing campaigns and design work.

Safety Culture: How Generational Differences Affect It How do you create an effective safety culture in the workplace when you have an employee base that is so diverse?

It’s an important question for equipment manufacturers to ask and answer, and the latter can’t really be accomplished without a better understanding of what “culture” refers to and how it impacts organizational goals and priorities.

“Culture is what we learn from our people, and it’s specific to the group you belong to, and — as I said, it’s all learned,” said Elaine Cullen Vandervert, president of Prima Consulting and a presenter at AEM’s recently held Product Safety & Compliance Seminar.

It’s obvious everyone belongs to — and participate in — a variety of cultures. A person’s nationality, gender and religious belief (or lack thereof) all contribute to how they present themselves. In her presentation to Product Safety & Compliance Seminar attendees, Vandervert emphasized the impact of culture in determining how employers can and should go about creating a safe and productive workplace.

One component of organizational culture that employers absolutely cannot afford to overlook is the wide range of ages of their respective workforces and its impact on the

development and refinement of safety culture. For the first time ever, there are five generations that can currently be found in the workforce. Baby Boomers, once upon a time, used to comprise the largest section of the workforce by a fairly comfortable margin. That’s starting to change, however, as they continue to retire in greater and greater numbers.

Unfortunately, there’s a significant consequence to Boomers leaving the workforce: They are taking with them a wealth of knowledge, skills and wisdom that only comes from significant experience.

A study cited by Vandervert found it takes 8-10 years on average for an employee to be able to develop a certain level of experience that allows them to administer on-the-job teaching and training. It’s a sobering statistic, especially when considering what it takes to establish an effective safety culture within an organization.

It’s impossible for a person or group to participate within an organization’s culture if they are unwilling — or unable — to embrace its norms. Cultures change slowly, however, and patience is required. And it all comes down to people themselves, said Vandervert, and how they’re managed.

With so many generations in the work-

force right now, managing them effectively is a task that’s easier said than done.

Five generations, as described by Vandervert, are: • Traditionalists — Born between 1927 and 1946, traditionalists are quite obviously no longer very prevalent in the workforce.

However, those who remain are best described as dependable, respectable and loyal. More than anything else, however, traditionalists believe they have earned the right to be respected largely based on their lengthy track record of experience.

• Baby Boomers — Born between 1946 and 1964, Baby Boomers, once upon a time and not all that long ago, dominated the workforce. Known as the optimistic and loyal generation, Boomers committed themselves to changing the world. On the other hand, though, they tend to be workaholics who were perhaps too often willing to make personal sacrifices in exchange for success.

• Generation Xers — Born between 1964 and 1980, members Generation X are known as the first “latchkey kids.” Skeptical and independent-minded, Gen Xers tend to value work-life balance more so than any other generation in the workforce.

• Millennials — Born between 1981 and 1994, millennials can best be described as

competitive, open-minded and very open to personal opportunities. In addition, they are known for their desire to be part of a team, having fun at work, and for their tendency to seek out (and embrace) new professional opportunities as they become available.

• Generation Zers — Born between 1995 and 2010, Gen Z members tend to think more in global terms than many of those who came before them. They are dependent on digital devices and, thus far, have been — generally speaking — more apt to experience mental health issues.

All of this is to say when members of these five groups come together in the workforce, things can get a little complicated.

That’s because, in many cases, people tend to operate very differently within professional environments based on the rituals, behaviors and norms associated with the generation from which they come.

So, culture is an incredibly important consideration when looking to establish a safe and productive workplace, because employers must be able to determine exactly what will make workers choose to act safely and productively and — perhaps more importantly — find a way to all those widely varying factors work within the confines of their own organizational structures. 

The joint offering enables construction sites to rapidly deploy EV charging, without the requirement for electrical work, utility grid connections or fossil fuel generators, to power zero-emissions construction equipment that runs on the sun and does not generate a utility bill.

“By providing our sustainable EV charging systems alongside Volvo’s best-in-class electric machines, we are enabling that transition in the fastest, cleanest and most scalable manner available. We’re proud to partner with Volvo CE in electrifying the construction business.”

Volvo CE currently offers five models of electric machines in North America, the L20 and L25 Electric wheel loaders, and the EC18, ECR18 and ECR25 Electric excavators. Now Volvo dealers can bundle transportable, off-grid solar EV charging systems with electric machine orders.

Together, the EV ARC and Volvo electric machines produce zero emissions, significantly reduce noise levels and lower energy costs, making them ideal for construction sites where emissions regulations, noise ordinances or the risks of indoor air pollution limit the use of diesel generators and construction equipment, the companies said.

“The Volvo CE line of zero-emissions construction equipment can now be charged with a zero-emissions energy source provided by the EV ARC. Beam Global shares our vision to electrify mobility worldwide, a critical step towards mitigating climate change and reducing noise and air pollution,” said Ray Gallant, VP Product Management and Productivity at Volvo CE.

“The construction industry is ready for an energy transition that reduces emissions and improves machinery’s performance, longevity and usability. We’re committed to an electric future and view Beam Global as a strategic partner on this journey.”

Beam Global’s EV ARC, the fastest deployed and lowestcost EV charging system on the market, is the ideal solution for Volvo CE’s electric machines. Compact and easily transportable, the EV ARC system can be set up and ready to use in minutes.

The EV ARC is fully autonomous, meaning it generates, stores and delivers electricity independent of the grid.

Whether the project is in a remote nature preserve or a densely populated city with strict zoning rules, the solar-powered EV ARC can be deployed without any electrical work or permitting.

The offer is available through the Volvo dealer network, an already trusted partner, giving partners an established convenient single point of contact for purchase. Because the EV ARC is part of the Extended Offer Catalog, Volvo Financial Services can be utilized to lease or finance the bundled EV ARC and compact electric machines with flexible financing options.

McKinsey & Company estimates that construction is an $11 trillion industry that accounts for 13 percent of global GDP. The global construction equipment market is projected to grow from $142 billion in 2021 to $224 billion in 2028 according to Fortune Business Insights. The United Nations Environment Programme finds that the buildings and construction industry accounted for 38 percent of global carbon emissions in 2019.

With many governments aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, electric machinery will become essential.

Residential and commercial builders and equipment rental companies are likely to add electric vehicles to their fleets.

Federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of the Interior and the U.S. Department of Agriculture already use electric machines in remote, environmentally sensitive areas.

Shelton Steps Away, Industry Will Remember Her for Passion SHELTON from page 16

“She gave me the history of where the company had been and what her thoughts were for the future. Sam already has quite a footprint on what is taking place at Hitachi.”

Wilson gave an invitation to Sam and Bill Shelton to join them at ConExpo 2023 to see the continued hand and footprints left by

Shelton in many of the things they will be doing.

Retired Vice President Gary Bell said, “I stole her away from product support. She soon became an industry leader in trade associations and groups that contributed to marketing this industry as a whole. It makes me proud that I was a part of her career.

CEO Simon Wilson spoke during the retirement luncheon and announced to Shelton’s husband: “She’s all yours Bill!”

She’s probably the most multi-tasked person in this room — she can handle more big projects at one time than anyone I know.”

Retired Assistant Vice President Wayne Powell said that Shelton was a great asset for the service department and was able to conquer all of the computer issues of the day to keep things going smoothly.

“We had a lot of good times,” he said.

“When she asked us to do the impossible by having machines prepped for shows and what not, we always did whatever was needed because we understood if Sam needed something, it was important to the company.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2022 Construction Equipment Guide.

A couple of guys who don’t need much introduction in the Kawasaki/Hitachi wheel loader business and have decades of service to the organization, Gary Bell (L) and Wayne Powell were in attendance and remembered when Shelton was “the new kid” in the business.

From July 13 to 17 at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR) in Turin (Italy), Iveco Group and its brands hosted their many stakeholders for a major, carbon-neutral event called BEYOND — Iveco Group Days.

From July 13 to 17 at the Officine Grandi Riparazioni (OGR) in Turin (Italy), Iveco Group and its brands hosted their many stakeholders for a major, carbon-neutral event called BEYOND — Iveco Group Days.

The aim was to shed light on Iveco Group’s integrated structure and internal business ecosystems, while sharing the company’s purpose, values and future roadmap based on three strategic pillars: technology, sustainability and partnership.

FPT Industrial took center stage on both July 14 and 15 with Sylvain Blaise, president of the Iveco Group Powertrain Business Unit and brand president of FPT Industrial, and two propulsion-themed roundtables.

In his keynote speech “The future of Powertrains”, Blaise stressed the key role that powertrain manufacturers play in developing the powertrain of the future in order to achieve carbon neutrality, and how it is necessary to approach the route to sustainability in a holistic way, with a complete view of the cycle. In addition, he highlighted the importance of low- or zero-carbon energy in terms of sourcing and distribution in achieving the set goals.

It also means ensuring continuity and competitiveness in strategic sectors that use current products and technologies, as well as developing new and greener propulsion solutions designed to be delivered to and adopted by the widest possible customer base in the shortest possible time.

These high-profile themes were discussed in the following roundtables: “Focus on propulsions: technological roadmap”, moderated by Fabrizio Goria, Financial Reporter at La Stampa, and “Propulsion evolution and partnerships ecosystem”, moderated by Alberto Onetti of Mind the Bridge, further evidencing the next steps that FPT Industrial and its partners are taking together.

At the first meeting, participants including Philip Scarth, head of open innovation at FPT Industrial, and Giorgio

Ricci, head of manufacturing at FPT Industrial, shared ideas about the future of internal combustion engines as one of the many solutions to reduce emissions and their importance in current agricultural and construction industries, while also discussing the impact of electric evolution on powertrain manufacturing.

During the talk, the speakers indicated the direction that FPT Industrial wants to take, becoming a “game changer” in the electrification era and positioning itself at the center of an ecosystem of skills.

The second roundtable featured, among others, Pierpaolo Biffali, vice president of product engineering at FPT Industrial, who presented the brand’s vision about the decarbonization of industrial On-Highway and Off-Highway sectors. This vision includes a close collaboration with each partner combined with continuous leveraging of both its specific powertrain expertise and partners’ market experience to develop sustainable and successful projects together.

FPT Industrial thanks all its guests and partners who joined the event for their valuable contributions, which further reinforced the open, collaborative, forward-looking spirit that underlies all of FPT Industrial’s partnerships: For the “Focus on propulsions: technological roadmap” roundtable: Daniela Vinci, CEO of Masmec, Sascha Kelterborn, president of Microvast, and Neeta Khare, director of Battery, Fuel Cells & MD at Potenza. For the “Propulsion evolution and partnerships ecosystem” roundtable: Anirudh Bhuwalka, CEO of Blue Energy Motors, Chris Mann CTO of Bennamann, Francesco Farinetti, CEO at Green Pea, board member at Eataly, Partnerships at Fontanafredda, Oscar Baroncelli, head of Tractor Product Management at New Holland Agriculture, and Alessandro Rossi, chief technical officer at Azimut Benetti Group.

Former Vermeer CEO, Bob Vermeer, Passes Away, Age 78 Robert “Bob” Lee Vermeer, husband, father, grandfather and leader passed away at 78 years old on Aug. 17, 2022, with loving family surrounding him.

Mr. Vermeer joined Vermeer Corporation in 1974 and held multiple roles that drove the business strategy and longterm growth of Vermeer, including chief executive officer beginning in 1989 and later co-chief executive officer in 2003 alongside his sister Mary. Mr. Vermeer also served as chair of the board from 1989 through 2014. It was during his tenure that the business grew to more than 60 countries on six continents with an amazing team of employees and products supported by hundreds of dealers around the world.

Born in Oskaloosa, Iowa, on July 28,1944, to Gary and Matilda Vermeer, the second child, with brother Stan and sister Mary, Mr. Vermeer grew up on a family farm near Pella.

His love for the outdoors and life on the farm was evident, with animals being his favorite. There was always a wellloved farm dog around and even a bottle calf to feed. But it was his grandfather, John Van Gorp, that introduced him to the best of all pets, horses. Mr. Vermeer’s grandfather and mother picked out his first pony, Ruby. He was rarely without a pony or horse from that point forward and enjoyed many fond memories and awards as a result of his horse hobby.

Mr. Vermeer attended Wheatgrow Country school through first grade, and then Pella Christian schools through high school graduation in 1962. He enjoyed academics, played intramural sports and was involved with music, singing in various choirs and playing tenor sax in the band.

From an early age, Mr. Vermeer loved spending time with his parents and two siblings, Stan and Mary. They grew up watching their father and founder of Vermeer, Gary Vermeer, build a company based on values while innovating better ways to do work on the farm. Even as a child, Mr. Vermeer saw a future in business. For career day at Wheatgrow School, he dressed as a businessman.

After high school, Mr. Vermeer attended Dordt College for a two-year degree. There his love for music grew as he discovered his beautiful tenor voice. Interested in economics and business, he transferred to Central College, graduating in 1966. His first job out of college was working at Marion County Bank, working there until 1973, eventually serving as vice president and director.

In 1968, Mr. Vermeer married Lois DeJong. Together, they raised their three children — Daniel, Heidi and Allison — in Pella, Iowa. Fond memories included fishing trips to Canada and family vacations to Lake Okoboji and the Lake of the Ozarks. Eventually, regular gatherings at their Lake Panorama home (Meer Huis) is where Mr. and Mrs. Vermeer spent cherished time with their children and grandchildren as they grew. You could also find Mr. Vermeer regularly cheering on his kids and grandkids in their extracurricular activities.

Mr. Vermeer generously devoted his time and talents to family, church and community.

On the family side, Mr. Vermeer was a leader in promoting succession planning to transition the business to future generations of the Vermeer family.

He was committed to countless philanthropic endeavors as president of the Vermeer Charitable Foundation. The Foundation’s efforts have improved the lives of people throughout local communities, the state of Iowa and worldwide. The Vermeers were charter and long-term member of Faith Christian Reformed Church, where Mr. Vermeer served as an elder and often participated in praise and wor-

Bob Vermeer

ship. In 2007, the Bob Vermeer Spirit of Caring award began as a recognition of the important company culture Mr. Vermeer helped build. The award celebrates team members who demonstrated that culture both at work and beyond.

His business expertise and passion for people resulted in several board roles, past and present, some of which include: Central College Board of Trustees, Dordt College Board, Guide One Insurance Co. Board, Marion County State Bank Vice President and Board of Directors, Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM), Iowa Business Council, Calvin Theological Seminary Board of Trustees, Pella National Bank Board, Pella Community Hospital Board, Pella Opera House Board, Hilltop Manor Board, Pella Area

35th Anniversary, 1983

Community & Economic Alliance, Pella Planning & Zoning Committee and Vital Men Ministries.

Later in life, Mr. Vermeer continued to expand his interests, sharing his time with causes such as Blessman International, Wildwood Hills Ranch and New Life Prison Church. In 2019, Mr. Vermeer and his daughter Allison built a horse arena and business, Grace Therapeutic Riding, used to enrich the lives of people with equine-assisted services and training. He continued contributing his vocal talents by actively singing with groups, choirs and praise teams in the area. He also dedicated time as an ambassador for Vermeer, family business planning and shareholder engagement.

Mr. Vermeer is survived by his wife, Lois, three children and their spouses and nine grandchildren, Dan and Tricia Vermeer — Brant (Kelsey), Isaac, Jack, Ella; Heidi and Chad Quist — Xander, Anna, Zoey; and Allison and Kyle Van Wyngarden — Drew, Clair. He also was survived by his siblings Stan and Alma Vermeer and Mary and Dale Andringa. His surviving in-laws are Stan and Judy Ver Heul, Pete and Carol Verhey, Mark and Jaci Hugen and Bob and Diane DeJong and many neices and nephews.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Gary and Matilda Vermeer, Lois’ parents, Martin and Minnie DeJong, and Margaret Vermeer, Stan’s first wife, and in-laws Fred and Linda Pelton.

Mr. Vermeer will be best remembered by his friends, family and peers for the spirit he exemplified where people matter most. Caring for others and his strong faith are some of the lasting legacies Mr. Vermeer leaves behind for his family, friends and the team at Vermeer to carry on well into the future.

Memorials in honor of Mr. Vermeer may be designated to Faith CRC Building Project, the Well Resource Center and Pella Christian Schools. They can be sent to: Vermeer Family Office, 1210 Vermeer Road East, Pella, Iowa, 50219  (Photos courtesy of Vermeer)

Understanding OSHA’s New Compliance Directive The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has released a new compliance directive, CPL 02-01-063 for cranes and derricks. This directive replaces the 2014 compliance directive CPL 02-01057 and addresses the changes in the crane rule that OSHA made in 2018.

The new compliance directive only revises the existing section on operator training, certification and evaluation and leaves the other sections of the 2014 directive unchanged.

The focus areas of the compliance directive are: • When to initiate an inspection into an operator’s training, certification and evaluation • How to approach an inspection involving multi-purpose equipment and multiemployer work sites • How to determine whether the operator has received training that meets the requirements of the standard • What steps to take when inspecting the certification/license of an operator • How to address certification concerns such as fraudulent certifications or testing organizations not meeting requirements • When an employer would need to conduct additional evaluations for an operator While compliance directives provide OSHA enforcement personnel with guidance on conducting inspections and policy on citing violations of the standard, the guidance and explanation can be helpful for employers.

At the NCCCO Foundation Industry Forum held in November 2021, OSHA provided the top 10 citations for cranes in construction for 2020-2021. Of these, three are related to the certification/qualification process for personnel: standard 1926.1427(a) — certification of operators; standard 1926.1425(c)(3) — Materials rigged by a qualified rigger; standard 1926.1428(a) — Signal person qualifications The 2018 crane rule from OSHA provided a framework for establishing operator competency for the construction industry.

The operator must be: Trained + Certified/Licensed + Evaluated = Qualified.

In the compliance directive OSHA states that there is no particular order in which an employer must comply with the training, certification and evaluation elements and further reiterates that should an operator not meet all three criteria, they are considered to be an “operator-in-training.”

Operator-In-Training Operator-in-training allows the operator to continue operating cranes when they are not yet certified/licensed or evaluated as required, but in such cases the operation

must be under supervision of a trainer.

OSHA expects there to be a continuous cycle of training, certification and evaluation. As operators switch types of cranes, they may assume an operating-in-training status pending the applicable new certification. As changes in equipment and operating activities require different or higher levels of crane operating knowledge, skills and abilities, employers will need to ensure that the operator has been trained and evaluated in these areas.

While the standard does not require employers to create and maintain training records, compliance officers are directed to ask for training records, program materials and interview the employer and employees to determine what training was provided.

Employers should determine if the operator has been sufficiently trained by a prior employer or other means, such as a labor union, and is familiar with the crane(s) and its operations. OSHA recognizes that not all operators-in-training will be inexperienced operators or unfamiliar with the crane(s) and doesn’t require additional training by each employer if the requirement has already been met.

Lastly, OSHA points out that employers have a continuing duty to monitor the performance of their operators to determine whether retraining is necessary. Compliance officers are encouraged to conduct interviews to determine what steps the employer has taken to identify concerns about the operator’s ability to safely operate the crane and perform assigned tasks and what steps the employer has taken when such concerns have been identified.

Operator Certification/License Once a determination is made that the equipment operated is within the scope of the rule (see 1926.1400) and that none of the exceptions of 1926.1427(a) apply, there are essentially four key questions on the flowchart provided by OSHA in the directive: • Is the operator certified/licensed?

• Was the certification/license issued by an accredited testing organization, an audited employer program or compliant state or local government licensing program?

• Is the certification/license within the expiration period established by the issuing entity and has not exceeded five years since it was issued?

• Is the type of crane operated the same as, or similar to, that specified by the certification/license?

Verification of the status of a certification body, such as CCO, has been made much easier by the NCCCO Foundation which has published a “Who’s Accredited?” directory that is kept up to date.

With regard to the operator’s certification

details which must be available to OSHA upon request (hard copy or electronic), CCO recommends that entities utilize the Verify CCO Online (VCO) system to access CCO’s database for the most current information on certificants. The cards that are currently being produced by CCO include a QR code to directly link the user to this information.

For equipment that falls under the scope of the standard but doesn’t have a nationally accredited certification available, crane operators should be certified with the most similar certification.

The NCCCO Foundation has a Crane Type Advisory Group, that makes determinations on these types of equipment.

Examples would be rotating and non-rotating telescopic forklifts when configured in a manner to fall under the scope of the rule.

CCO has the broadest array of nationally accredited operator certifications available in the industry including telescopic boom fixed cab, telescopic boom swing cab, lattice boom, articulating boom, tower, overhead cranes as well as digger derrick, dedicated pile driver and drill rig.

Most-similar certifications should not be utilized when the certification for that type of equipment is available by a nationally accredited certification body, such as CCO. OSHA also states that compliance with 1926.1427(c)(4) is intended to prevent a licensing/testing organization’s training arm from “teaching to the test,” which would undermine the test’s ability to determine the individual’s true subject matter expertise for safe operation of equipment. Compliance officers are encouraged to consult with the national office should there be such allegations.

In cases where the operator is certified in a language other than English, compliance officers will be required to verify that the language specified on the operator’s certification documentation is the same as that in the crane manual, load charts, etc. in the equipment operated at the job site.

Compliance officers also will interview the operator to determine who paid for the operator’s certification or license (including recertification). If the operator paid, compliance officers will ask when the operator was certified, whether the operator was employed by the employer at that time and whether the operator was reimbursed.

Employers are required by 1926.1427(c)(3) to pay for the certification of the operators they employ after the effective date of Feb. 7, 2019. While payment for recertification of an employed operator is covered under this provision, payment for test preparation for certification testing is not covered. Employers may devise various arrangements to pay for certification of an operator that will be evaluated on a case-bycase basis.

Operator Evaluation Long before the 2010 crane rule became effective, 29 CFR 1926.20(b)(4) required employers to permit only those employees qualified by training or experience to operate equipment and machinery. The 2018 operator qualifications rule provided criteria and accepted means for evaluating an operator’s experience in operating cranes.

The main focus of the evaluation requirements is to ensure that the operator has the knowledge, skills and abilities to operate: • The assigned equipment • For specified assigned tasks Previously evaluated operators must therefore be re-evaluated when new knowledge, skills, or abilities are required for new tasks or operating different equipment, configurations, etc.

As a new requirement, the 2018 crane rule requires that employer must document the completion of the evaluation in accordance with 1926.1427(f)(6) and make the document available at the work site for as long as the employer employs the operator. The employer is required to document the following information: • Operator’s name • Evaluator’s name and signature • Date the evaluation was completed; and • Make, model and configuration of the crane(s) that the operator can safely operate for construction tasks Multi-Employer Work Sites For multi-employer work sites, OSHA states that “controlling contractors must exercise reasonable care to prevent and detect violations of the crane standard at the construction site.” OSHA goes on to say, “Controlling contractors assume a heightened duty to monitor an operator who is allowed on the site without providing evidence that the operator has been certified/licensed and evaluated in accordance with the crane standard… If the controlling contractor informs the other employers on the site that the crane operator has not provided evidence of certification/licensing, each employer could then take appropriate measures to ensure the safety of its own employees to fulfill its duties as an exposing employer.”

Avoiding OSHA Citations The best way to avoid citations by OSHA is to know and understand how the rule affects you, ensure that your operators and those around equipment are properly qualified, and that documentation is in order before OSHA asks. CCO will continue to monitor information released and assist in creating resources to assist the industry in compliance.

Tenna, a construction technology platform that revolutionizes equipment fleet operations, announced the release of the next phase of its existing integration by Ryvit with Viewpoint Vista to incorporate maintenance work order data sharing.

Tenna’s work order integration connects maintenance work order records in Tenna into the Viewpoint Vista ERP program. This integration empowers construction professionals to autonomously capture repair and maintenance costs (including parts and labor) and activity within Tenna which then automatically feeds to Vista. As a result, data is shared across multiple systems giving finance and office staff the information they need from the shop.

“This integration was developed in response to our customers’ wishes to streamline work between Tenna and Vista, avoid repetitive tasks and increase accuracy around work order data,” said Jose Cueva, co-founder and VP of product at Tenna.

“The addition of work order sharing allows Tenna to differentiate our offering with a deeper integration with this ERP for the construction industry.”

Tenna and Trimble-Viewpoint work together to make the lives of construction business owners and their teams simpler through integrations between Tenna and multiple Viewpoint ERP products facilitated by and through Ryvit, the company said. The work order integration is an even deeper integration between Tenna and Vista, specifically, expanding their existing integration offering that transfers assets, sites, location and meter readings from Tenna to Vista (hosted or within Viewpoint One) and Viewpoint Spectrum.

The work order integration helps contractors better capture the costs of repairs and gives Vista users full visibility over what happened in the field as well as the ability to add their own work in the office for invoicing and other purposes. It allows them to run accurate reports and transport accurate cost figures from their Tenna equipment management system to their ERP, so they know what they spend not just on material parts but also on mechanic labor associated with completing the repairs. Better visibility into these costs helps

contractors better calculate their total cost of ownership around the equipment assets on their balance sheet.

“This integration, like Tenna and Trimble-Viewpoint’s greater partnership, solves a multi-million dollar business need for contractors, making it easier for them to see where they are bleeding capital and helps them get better control over how they leverage their current resources to ultimately benefit the books,” said Russ Young, chief business development officer at Tenna “Knowing more by seeing data clearly within the integrated systems and being able to better account for equipment costs and investments allows contractors to take strategic actions to own less, rent less, better maintain and optimize what they have, and deliver work more with less downtime, which leads to increased project margins and higher revenue.”

The power of this automated data flowing from Tenna into Viewpoint and Trimble products gives contractors, and specifically the accounting and finance teams, the actionable insight to accomplish this.

“Tenna’s equipment management platform unlocks insights for contractors like never before, and we’re proud to work with the Tenna and Trimble-Viewpoint teams to ensure that contractors can maximize those insights across their field and office crews,” said Tom Stemm, CEO at Ryvit.

“To date, we’ve worked diligently with Tenna’s impressive development team and a select group of forward-thinking early adopters to lay the groundwork for an integration profile that delivers unparalleled time-saving results with reliable, timely, and secure data flow.”

For Tenna, this advanced integration is another huge step in its mission to provide integration capabilities with key construction software systems that contractors heavily rely on. Integrations are an ongoing and growing need for contractors as they continue to add additional technologies and software into their business ecosystems; Tenna commits to staying ahead of this demand to remain the best construction-focused, integrated equipment management solution for the industry.

Crews Build Nearly 7 Mi. of New Roadway On Texas’ 183A TEXAS from page 1

Loop and aesthetic enhancements along the corridor. The new lanes are being constructed between the existing nontolled frontage roads, mitigating disruption to the traveling public during construction.

Thus far, Lane Construction has completed and is in the midst of operations for the placement of precast concrete bridge beams (approx. 43-percent complete), bridge drilled shaft foundations (approx. 80-percent complete); bridge columns (approx. 76-percent complete); MSE retaining wall construction (approx. 11-percent complete); roadway earthwork (approx. 50-percent complete); and the installation of drainage systems, conduit runs for roadway illumination and ITS communications.

Project Elements Commenting on the ongoing work, Lane Project Manager Victor Ancira pointed out that the project is “on schedule and progress is going as planned. Unknown waterline services were discovered during construction. The [Mobility Authority] and Lane collaborated quickly to redesign and build the necessary waterlines with minimal disruption to the construction project.”

Lane and its subcontractors have completed 95 percent of the waterlines, 45 percent of the roadway embankments and excavations, 75 percent of bridge drill shafts, detention pond excavation is nearing completion and 39 percent of the prestressed concrete girders have been installed.

“Installation of the drainage pipes was a priority to establish positive drainage and allow for roadway embankments to start,” Ancira added. “Bridge and MSE wall construction is beginning at Seward Junction and is working towards Hero Way. The MSE walls are all precast and there are approximately 5.6 miles of walls being constructed with varying depths.”

Ancira noted that precast elements include concrete bridge beams, MSE panels and concrete deck panels.

Planning is ongoing to set up a batch plant.

In regard to earth work, Ancira said that “Once a large enough section of the subgrade is completed, asphalt and concrete lanes will be installed.”

Nine detention ponds are nearing completion.

“Approximately 64,000 linear feet of pipe and box with sizes varying from 12 to 72 inches are being installed,” said Ancira. “Some will require cranes to lift them.”

Excavators are digging between 2-to-20 ft. deep to install

these elements.

“The larger pipes will be installed using a crane,” said Ancira, who explained that “utility relocation is progressing.”

Over the next year, crews will focus their efforts on bridges, roadway, large excavation and ITS infrastructure and retaining walls. Crews are expected to begin the large excavation and retaining wall system in the area of SH 29 and the fabrication and placement of a pedestrian bridge system across the San Gabriel River.

“Progress along the 183A Phase III corridor is evident each time you drive through the project limits,” said Mike Sexton, the Mobility Authority’s acting director of engineering. “The team has made tremendous progress over the past year and is on schedule to finish as anticipated, in 2025.

The earthwork excavation and embankment will be 1.69 million cu. yds., enough volume to fill 430 Olympic size swimming pools; 3.5 mi. of drilled shaft concrete foundations, with the largest size being 60 in. in diameter; and reinforced concrete pavement for the main lanes that totals 482,870 sq. ft., which equals approximately 8.4 football fields.

Over the next year, crews will focus their efforts on bridges, roadway, large excavation and ITS infrastructure and retaining walls.

Lane Construction Company is extending the 183A Toll Road 6.6-mi. northward from Hero Way in Leander, Texas, to north of SH 29 in Liberty Hill, Texas, as part of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority’s 183A Phase III Project.

During drainage system installation, previously unknown waterlines were discovered. The Mobility Authority quickly coordinated with its design engineer and Lane Construction to revise the design to accommodate the additional waterlines.”

The earthwork excavation and embankment will be 1.69 million cu. yds., enough volume to fill 430 Olympic size swimming pools; 3.5 mi. of drilled shaft concrete foundations, with the largest size being 60 in. in diameter; and reinforced concrete pavement for the main lanes that totals 482,870 sq. ft., which equals approximately 8.4 football fields.

“Construction of the project primarily takes place in the center median of the existing highway with temporary concrete barrier separating the work zone from the traveling public,” said Sexton. “At any point of time, there are several crews on-site performing varied activities throughout the entire corridor, keeping construction moving and the schedule on track.

“Some operations like bridge beam setting require extensive coordination and lane closures,” he added. “Because we aim to impact the traveling public as little as possible, these operations are scheduled for a night shift when traffic volumes are low and multiple lanes and intersections can be closed or detoured, thus helping with haul times and ease of setting up equipment.”

A fair amount of precast elements are being used, such as precast concrete retaining wall panels, bridge beams, bridge deck panels, drainage box culverts and inlets/manholes.

“Currently, there are no concrete batch plants on site, but the contractor has proposed that they may install one to provide materials for roadway concrete paving when the time comes,” said Sexton. see TEXAS page 54

DOT Pauses ‘Buy America’ Reg to Avoid Project Disruption PROVISION from page 1

of Biden’s 2021 jobs act.

During the program’s pause, contractors can research domestic construction material sources and stockpile supplies for federally funded transportation construction projects.

The DOT concluded that avoiding the disruption to civil infrastructure (particularly transportation and transit) projects constitutes a rare and appropriate use of the agency’s authority, said John Smolen and Steve Park, Ballard Sphar law firm.

Commonly Used Materials The IIJA, signed this past November, included a crucial provision that imposes Buy America requirements for construction materials.

The materials list includes stone, sand or gravel, non-ferrous binding agents, plastic-

federal governments’ ability to effectively use their tax dollars.”

He noted that supply-chain shortages are already prompting firms to avoid bidding on new projects.

He cited as an example an Army Corps of Engineers project that received zero contractor bids because of regional concrete scarcities.

Worse, said Sandherr, the new mandate requires individual federal agencies to run waivers by the White House for materials not made in America.

“This means that contractors, in addition to facing a patchwork of inconsistent, and likely conflicting, guidelines from individual agencies’ waiver processes, will also have to wait as the highest office in the land verifies them.”

He likened the scenario to asking the Department of Education to verify each child’s permission slip to miss a day of school.

“Instead of improving infrastructure for the benefit of communities across the nation, firms will have to spend more time waiting for federal officials to decide whether a project is in compliance with the administration’s latest layer of red tape,” said Sandherr.

Any gains in construction material production the mandate might generate will be offset by the cost of new construction, slower building schedules and hamstrung projects, he said.

“Americans were right to be excited about the potential for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to make our economy more efficient, our commutes faster, our water safer and our economy stronger,” said Sandherr. “But this new mandate will leave too many taxpayers see PROVISION page 72

Wirtgen Brings Innovations, World Premiere to bauma 2022

With lifting columns connected directly to the chassis, the application-optimized configuration of the SP 20(i) enables efficient paving of monolithic concrete profiles with a height of up to 6.5 ft. or concrete surfaces with a maximum width of 8.2 ft.

A 24-ft. paving train, consisting of a WPS 102(i), an SP 94(i) with a TeleMold system and a TCM 180(i), offers the entire range of options available for fully reinforced concrete paving.

World Premiere of SP 20(i) Offset Paver The production of concrete safety barriers with a height of up to 6.5 ft. and the paving of flat surfaces with widths of up to 8.2 ft. are typical applications for the SP 20(i) offset paver.

With the new machine, Wirtgen offers its customers an ideal combination of productivity and mobility, according to the manufacturer. Despite the large paving widths and heights it offers, the machine has a low transport weight and compact dimensions.

The compact SP 15(i) has been delivering outstanding performance in a wide range of application scenarios around the world for many years. In Munich, it is fitted with a “Curb Depressor Mold”, which enables automated paving of lowered curb profiles, as are often found on driveways. The paving process can proceed without interruption and the need for manual reworking is significantly reduced.

high quality concrete traffic infrastructure. All three feature concrete paving equipment with the Imperial dimensions typical for the U.S. market.

The paving train is set up for a working width of 24 ft. A placer/spreader such as the WPS 102(i) generally comes into play when paving over pre-placed steel rebar. It travels in front of the slipform paver over the pre-placed steel rebar, while concrete is fed to the belt conveyor swung out from the side from a concrete mixer or a tipper truck.

The concrete is poured evenly over the pre-placed steel rebar in front of the slipform paver and distributed across the entire working width. The SP 94(i) slipform paver then compacts and paves the concrete mix.

The paver at the show, which has a maximum working width of 32 ft., is fitted with a TeleMold system. It enables fast and convenient alteration of the working width by up to 3 ft. on each side, resulting in an overall increase of 6 ft. This increases the flexibility and productive utilization time of the machine by the reduction of down times.

The final link in the process chain is the TCM 180(i). This field-proven texture curing machine applies the desired finish to the surface of the freshly paved concrete. It enables the realization of lengthwise and crosswise textures and predefined surface roughness in accordance with project specifications. It also allows the application of a range of different curing agents to the concrete surface, for example a concrete surface retarder.

Concrete Paving Train for High Quality, Cost-Effectiveness, Flexibility In the case of the inset pavers, Wirtgen is showing a train of three perfectly coordinated machines for the paving of

SP 124(i) The largest slipform paver on show at this year’s Bauma is the SP 124(i). The 4-track paver can be configured for paving at a working width of 39 ft. and fits seamlessly into

Apart from the SP 15(i) and SP 20(i) offset pavers at this year’s bauma, Wirtgen also is showing a complete paving train for fully reinforced concrete paving. This comprises a WPS 102(i) placer/spreader, an SP 94(i) inset paver, and a TCM 180(i) texture curing machine.

Also making an appearance at the show is an SP 124(i) with a new, integrated dowel bar inserter.

All compatible machines at the show also will feature Wirtgen’s own, specially developed, AutoPilot 2.0 control system for stringless paving.

the fleet-wide operating concept of slipform pavers from WIRTGEN. The machine is fitted with the latest generation of the integrated dowel bar inserter. The dowel bars are extracted from the magazine by a chain feed system with an endless chain and automatically transported to the insertion location.

“Smart” cylinders with displacement sensors precisely position the dowel bar inserter at the desired locations. The high degree of automation reduces the proportion of manual work required, increases process reliability, and, ultimately, the cost-effectiveness of the process.

AutoPilot 2.0: Stringless Control for Concrete Paving Developed in-house by Wirtgen, AutoPilot 2.0 is a control system for stringless paving that serves as an alternative to the conventional method of mechanically scanning a stringline. The system, which precisely controls both the height adjustment and steering of the machine, is available for all offset pavers and placer/spreaders.

A GNSS signal and, depending on the configuration, various local sensors (e.g. an ultrasonic sensor on the machine), serve as a reference. The time and effort otherwise required for setting up and removing the stringline is eliminated. It also enables fast and precise paving of tight radii and complex geometries.

The system is conveniently operable from a tablet PC, which also supports the generation and editing of terrain models. Wirtgen AutoPilot 2.0 offers machine control and stringless control for concrete paving in one.

With the HC series, Hamm is launching a new generation of compactors on the market. With operating weights of 24,251 to 55,115.6 lbs. and a wide range of equipment variants, they can comply with an extremely wide range of requirements.

HC Series: New Generation of Compactors for Earthworks Hamm is attending bauma 2022, where it will present the HC series — a new generation of earthwork rollers for all markets.

The compactors achieve a high level of compaction power while simultaneously achieving a reduction in CO2 emissions. The communication capabilities are new: All models in the HC series are “digital-ready” since they can be equipped with various interfaces for the digital construction site.

One Platform for All Markets The manufacturer is bringing together the two previous compactor series from Hamm — the 3000 series (Tier 3) and the H series (EPA Tier 4/EU Stage V) — with the HC series on one platform together with models with an operating weight of 24,251 to 55,115.6 lbs.

The diesel engines comply with the regional requirements, and their power varies between 85 and 160 kW, depending on the weight. On all models, the drum width is 84.3 in.

In addition to the previously known sales variants, in future there will be CR machines with reinforced components for applications on difficult terrain and special equipment for applications on rocky ground.

New Design The HC series is recognizable from the new, athletic design and the view channel in the engine hood. A new frame concept also guarantees increased tank volume; in particular, in future, the heavy compactors will be delivered to the construction site with an 88.8 gal. fuel tank.

Impressive Compaction Parameters In comparison to the predecessor models,

Hamm has increased the compaction power.

The manufacturer has increased the centrifugal force by up to 15 percent; and the static linear load is as high as 451.6 lbs/in.

There are even innovations when it comes to the steering: A new cast articulated joint with articulated joint lock allows for a greater steering and swing angle with improved kinematics. Due to the optimized weight distribution in combination with the traction control, the gradeability also has been further improved. Furthermore, the front vehicle and the scraper have been redesigned. This has resulted in significantly increased clearance on the drum, meaning that no material can accumulate there, which eliminates cleaning work.

Great Power, Economical in Continuous Operation Due to new approaches in machine management, the HC series achieves increased overall performance. The integrated ECO mode supports the operator so that they can work in the economical partial-load range as often as possible, which reduces the need for cooling. The speed is reduced for this — but, due to a large travel pump, without compromising the power.

This concept saves fuel and reduces the noise and exhaust gas emissions. With the optional engine stop system, the energy consumption can be reduced even further.

Comfortable Workstation Hamm also has again increased the operator comfort: The cab offers the operator over 20 percent more tread, around 30 percent increased space and numerous storage compartments. Furthermore, the vibrations

and the noise level in the cab are significantly reduced due to the materials and design.

A comfortable heating and air-conditioning system, the Easy Drive operating concept, the innovative seat operating unit, the comfortable steering as well as modern ventilation round off the comfort.

Great Visibility During Day, Night In the dark, the standard LED lights light up the environment in all working situations.

At day and night, due to the view channel in the hood, the roller meets the requirements for the field of vision in accordance with DIN EN 474.

On the cab, a large additional mirror with proximity detection improves the view of the immediate environment, and design tricks guarantee low-vibration mirrors.

Furthermore, the mirrors can be easily Large slope angles and powerful drives guarantee that the compactors in the HC series achieve excellent compaction on uneven and steep terrain — even on inclines over 60 percent.

adjusted from the cab.

Equipped for Digital Construction Site The HC series is well prepared for the quality and communication requirements of the future. The “Smart Doc” app, which was developed by Hamm, graphically displays all of the key compaction parameters as well as the compaction progress, and logs the measured rigidity as well as the position data. In the Smart Doc app, even inexperienced drivers can immediately see which areas have been sufficiently compacted and which areas still require compaction.

Furthermore, the compactors can communicate, even with digital applications from third parties, via a standardized interface.

“The asphalt pavement industry is committed to building high-quality projects that deliver superior performance to the traveling public. All contractors’ projects earning a Quality in Construction award are measured against best practices designed to live up to that commitment,” said 2021 NAPA Chairman James Winford.

The 2021 winners and their projects, arranged alphabetically, are: • Barrett Paving Materials Inc. of Middletown, Ohio, for various roads in Springboro, Ohio • Cadillac Asphalt LLC, A CRH Co., of Farmington Hills, Mich., for Grafton Road in Monroe County • Dunn Construction Co. Inc. of Birmingham, Ala. for the I-65 project in Jefferson County • Jagoe-Public Co., of Denton, Texas, for FM 1378 in Collin County • Payne & Dolan Inc., a Walbec Group Co., of Gladstone, Mich., for M-94 in Marquette County • Preferred Materials Inc., A CRH Co. of Tampa, Fla., for 49th Ave. North in Pinellas Park, Fla. • Rogers Group Inc., of Columbia, Tenn., for U.S. 64 in Lawrenceburg, Tenn.

• Shelly & Sands Inc. of Zanesville, Ohio, for SR 682 and SR 691 in Athens County • The Shelly Co., A CRH Co., of Thornville, Ohio, for Morgan Run Road in Coshocton, Ohio • The Shelly Co., A CRH Co., of Thornville, Ohio, for Winchester Pike in Franklin County Projects submitted for a Quality in Construction (QIC) Award are evaluated by an independent pavement engineer who assigns each project a numerical score based on how well the contractor met specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement. All pavements that meet a benchmark figure earn the QIC Award.

The Larry H. Lemon Award honors the 10 highest-scoring projects, as determined in the review.

The award is named after Larry Lemon of Haskell Lemon Construction in Oklahoma City. Lemon served faithfully on the NAPA Awards Committee for 18 years, before serving as chairman of the association’s board of directors in 2010 prior to his retirement. Lemon was instrumental in the creation of the rating system for the Quality in Construction Awards, which require qualitative analysis using data and test results to determine the winners.

Sheldon G. Hayes Awards Recognizes Highest Quality Highway Pavements The National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) announced the winner and finalists of the 2021 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for excellence in construction of an asphalt pavement.

The award, bestowed annually since 1971, recognizes the country’s highest quality highway pavements.

Eurovia Atlantic Coast, dba Northeast Paving Co. LLC, and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation — District 12 were named the winner of the 2021 Sheldon G. Hayes Award for their work on I-70 in Washington, Pa. Finalists for the award were Seaboard Construction Co. and the Georgia Department of Transportation for I-95 in Camden County; and Shelly & Sands Inc. and the Ohio Department of Transportation District 5 for I-70 in Muskingum County.

The Sheldon G. Hayes Award winner and finalists are determined through a two-year evaluation process.

All highway pavement projects using more than 50,000 tons of asphalt are eligible for consideration.

Initially, the project must win a Quality in Construction (QIC) Award, which is determined by numerical scores given by an independent pavement engineer on the basis of how well the contractor met specifications and achieved density on the finished pavement. All pavements that meet a benchmark figure earn the QIC Award.

The year after a project wins a QIC Award, it is eligible for consideration for the Sheldon G. Hayes Award. The top-ranked projects from each year are tested for smoothness, and then visually inspected by an independent pavement consultant with many years of experience in the industry.

This year, the evaluator praised all the candidates for their high-quality construction practices, which resulted in smooth, safe and durable pavements.

At NAPA’s 67th Annual Meeting in Scottsdale, Ariz., the winner and each finalist were presented with an award for their achievement.

“The asphalt pavement industry is committed to building quality pavements that deliver high performance and drivability to the public,” said James Winford, NAPA 2021 chairman.

The award is named for Sheldon G. Hayes, a founder of NAPA and the association’s first chairman. Hayes spent his entire career striving for better construction techniques and improvements in the quality of asphalt pavements.

Ajax, Ingevity Join NAPA’s Newest Climate Initiative Two funding partners have pledged their support for The Road Forward, an industrywide initiative of the National Asphalt Pavement Association (NAPA) to produce net zero carbon emission asphalt pavements.

They are NAPA associate member Ingevity and producer member Ajax Paving Industries of Florida LLC. In joining inaugural sponsors Cargill Asphalt Solutions and Peckham Industries Inc., Ingevity and Ajax are demonstrating their commitment to climate stewardship while advancing the asphalt pavement industry.

Family-owned Ajax Paving operates eight asphalt plants across Florida’s Gulf Coast and constructs various projects from runways to design-build. The company’s president, Vince Hafeli, has served on NAPA’s board of directors since 2015 and is currently the vice chair of the Southeast Region Advisory Council.

A NAPA member since 2002, Ingevity manufactures sustainable specialty chemicals and materials for a variety of markets, including preservation products for asphalt pavements and warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives like Evotherm. Ingevity recently published an environmental product declaration (EPD) for Evotherm M1, making it the first chemical additive supplier to be included in NAPA’s EPD tool, Emerald Eco-Label.

In supporting The Road Forward, Ajax and Ingevity are exemplifying their values of innovation and ownership, providing industry leadership on climate action. Their support will help fund ongoing research and education to aid the entire U.S. asphalt industry in achieving net zero carbon emission asphalt production and construction by 2050.

“Ajax Paving Industries of Florida is excited to be leading the asphalt industry in paving the path forward in sustainability,” Hafeli said. “The journey to a net zero future is difficult to even comprehend. However, with NAPA as a partner, we are excited about the upcoming journey, which ties directly into Ajax being the employer, contractor and partner of choice.”

“Ingevity is very pleased to support NAPA and The Road Forward initiative as we work together to move the asphalt industry towards net zero emissions,” said Andrew Crow, vice president of pavement technologies.

“At Ingevity, sustainability is at the center of all we do. Our company’s heritage of providing renewable raw material-sourced products that promote environmental stewardship has long enabled us to help cus-

tomers and end users reduce their ecological footprint, and we are excited to bring our expertise in sustainable paving technologies to the industry as we work to meet our shared climate goals.”

“For decades, Ingevity and Ajax Paving Industries of Florida have demonstrated their respective commitments to innovating on behalf of their customers and communities,” remarked NAPA President and CEO Audrey Copeland. “Their support of The Road Forward fuels our vision for the future: sustainable communities and commerce, connected by net zero carbon asphalt pavements.”

GOMACO GP3 Slipform Paver Allows for More Automation Merriam-Webster gives the essential meaning of savvy as having practical understanding or knowledge of something, having, or showing perception, comprehension, or shrewdness, especially in practical matters.

GOMACO has always been extremely savvy about concrete slipform paving and building the machines and technology needed for the highest quality pavement. The GOMACO GP3 slipform paver was featured in the GOMACO booth. It has the capability of slipforming up to 30 ft. wide and is available as a two-track or four-track paver GOMACO’s engineers have advanced paver controls and automation and are introducing new intelligent valves on GOMACO’s line of equipment, including the GP3 paver. The new self-programming valves eliminate the need to set thresholds.

The valves, working with the paver’s G+ control system, understands and can automatically react and self-adjust to the dynamics of the machine.

Initially, the valve reacts to the machine set-up and adjusts accordingly, but the operator can make fine-tuned sensitivity adjustments from any display at any time.

GOMACO’s G+ software recognizes the change requests and immediately makes those adjustments. This allows automatic correction of the paver’s elevation, steering, pivoting, travel control, anti-slip positive traction of the tracks and more.

G+ controls now incorporate GOMACO’s new vibrator monitoring system with the ability to monitor, control and diagnose each individual vibrator on the paver. The touchscreen display illustrates the performance of each vibrator. The operator can see where adjustments need to be made and can make those adjustments electronically for

an instant and on-the-go response.

GOMACO’s Navigator display software brought all the G+ paver accessories together for easy control and monitoring on an optional touchscreen display. It is now fully Wi-Fi capable to allow wireless control from multiple display screens anywhere on the paver. A wireless extension allows ground personnel the ability to view and make fine-tuned adjustments to the paver’s performance and configure settings for the GSI, side bar inserters, tie bar inserters, and

power transition adjuster using any tablet or phone.

Machine-to-Machine communication is now possible using the GOMACO Navigator display and G+ control. When a GOMACO paving train is at work on a project, the GP3 paver now has the ability to talk to the other GOMACO equipment on the project with a G+ control system. For example, if a GOMACO placer/spreader is at work in front of a GP3 paver, the paver and the concrete being placed in front of the paver is too low, it can

tell the placer/spreader to raise its strike-off and allow more concrete to be placed.

Machine-to-Machine communication introduces a new era of automation, paver intelligence and ultimate performance to GOMACO equipment.

The savvy new technology is advancing throughout GOMACO’s entire line of concrete slipform paving equipment. The new self-programming valves also are being integrated into GOMACO’s full line of curb and gutter machines. 

FleetWatcher Offers Help to Improve Behavior of Drivers Earthwave Technologies’ FleetWatcher telematics platform monitors four key “safe driver” metrics, allowing companies to track and amend driver behavior.

This GPS-based platform captures vehicle data from either the FleetWatcher App or from an in-vehicle device. It simplifies safe driver programs by focusing on four key metrics — vehicle speed relative to posted speed limits, fast starts, hard braking, and hard turns. This data is reported continuously and can be used to assign a numeric or letter grade to drivers, who can then be commended or counseled for their performance.

Whether required by insurance carriers or as company policy, FleetWatcher customers using this feature have reported significantly improved driver grades when this is added to their safe driver programming. Here’s how it works.

How Fast Is Too Fast Speed, which is continuously monitored, can be categorized by vehicle type. For example, a pickup truck driving up to 10 mph over the posted speed limit may be deemed OK (shown in green), while 11 to 15 mph over is unsatisfactory (shown in yellow), with anything over 15 mph over the speed limit flagged as excessive (shown in red).

A tri-axle dump trailer, on the other hand, may be deemed safe while travelling up to 5 mph over the speed limit, with anything over that flagged as excessive (shown in red).

Speed ranges and grades are assigned by user administrators and can be varied by vehicle type.

‘Gimme a Brake’ Fast stops, or hard braking also is monitored, as are fast starts and hard turns. Each are similarly assigned numeric or

letter grades. Administrators can select how important the various safe driver aspects are, and how to aggregate them into an overall score which can then be used in driver counseling.

FleetWatcher users who have engaged in driver safety monitoring programs report significant improvements in driver behaviors, with fewer fast starts and stops, less hard braking, and more adherence to posted speed limits.

Earthwave Technologies manufactures construction-specific wireless telematic products which provide complete visibility to all components used within the process. Its Fleetwatcher Material Management Solution (MMS) is being used by asphalt paving contractors across the United States. It also offers modules for e-ticketing, off-road construction and more.

Project Includes Construction of 17 Bridges Along Corridor

Crews are constructing 17 bridges along the corridor and all 17 have drill shaft foundations.

Approximately 75 percent of the piers have been constructed.

TEXAS from page 32

For the earthwork, subgrade work has taken place for much of the proposed roadway but there is still work to go to get it to final grade.

“To date, the roadway base material has been placed only for a limited portion of the frontage road where a widened shoulder was needed for construction,” said Sexton. “The newly constructed 183A Toll mainlanes will be concrete. The existing U.S. 183 lanes which will function as a non-tolled frontage road are asphalt and will receive a fresh asphalt overlay prior to the end of construction.”

For the retaining walls and MSE walls, precast sections are being installed.

“Most of our retaining walls are Mechanically Stabilized Earth [MSE] walls, for which there is not a traditional ‘foundation,’” said Sexton. “MSE walls use roadway embankment material to anchor the retaining wall panels via a soil mat system between the walls and connected on the inside of each panel. Our next most common retaining wall style is the soilnailed retaining wall which also doesn’t use a traditional foundation. Instead, the nails are drilled and grouted into the existing, adjacent earth. Traditional spread footing retaining walls are limited to use for some of our water quality ponds. In those cases, the foundations may be just a few feet below finished grade as required for the area.”

Bridge Construction Crews are constructing 17 bridges along the corridor and all 17 “have drill shaft foundations and approximately 75 percent of the piers have been constructed,” said Ancira. “The number of lanes varies from two to three. The time to construct a bridge varies depending on weather, traffic conditions, and complexity.”

The new bridges consist of 10.9 mi. of precast concrete and 12 mi. of drainage system pipe will be installed.

“These bridges are similar to others in the region and use precast concrete beams to support a reinforced concrete bridge deck,” said Sexton. “The pedestrian bridge will be steel framed with an Ipe wood deck and will be constructed to match the style of the existing pedestrian bridges on the existing portion of the 183A shared use path. Approximately 76 percent of bridge columns are complete.

“The total length of all the bridges together equates to 2.02 miles, including the pedestrian bridge which is 660 linear feet

The project includes the construction of two tolled lanes in each direction, an adjacent shared use path from Hero Way to Seward Junction Loop and aesthetic enhancements along the corridor.

long,” Sexton added. “The lengths of the bridges vary from 169 feet to 1,160 feet long and carry a different number of lanes depending on the bridge’s purpose. For example, the U.S. 183 U-turn bridges at SH 29 will each have just a single lane, while the SH 29 bridge crossing 183A Toll will carry six total lanes. The project also accounts for future lane expansion with foundation sleeves at the bridge abutments and a drainage system sized for a future third lane in each direction.”

Bridge construction is subject to variables like material and crew availability, construction sequencing, type of bridge, length of bridge, weather and more.

“All these variables play a part in the length of time to complete a bridge and therefore the timeline from one bridge to the next can vary greatly,” said Sexton.

Many detention ponds are currently under construction along the corridor, and more than 64,000 linear ft. of pipe and culvert will be used for the drainage system project wide. The drainage inlets, manholes and junction boxes are precast by Oldcastle Infrastructure based in San Antonio.

“Drainage pipes and structures are buried anywhere from about 8 feet to 40 feet deep,” said Sexton.” Cranes are involved in setting larger precast structures. Smaller structures can be placed using an excavator.”

Over the past year, excavation and earthwork has been a large part of the construction along the corridor, and in the next year, excavation underneath SH 29 will begin.

“For large jobs like these, Lane Construction’s earthwork subcontractor is using a Cat D10 dozer; a large, effective piece of equipment not seen on your average construction site,” said Sexton. “For bridge beam operations, two 350-ton cranes and a 300-ton crane have been instrumental in safely and quickly setting beams in place. Four manlifts are used to transport the crew from the ground to the bridge caps, and one trackhoe is in place to reconfigure the haul trucks and trailers to keep operations moving.”

Utility relocation has progressed smoothly, “As anticipated, we’ve been able to prioritize the thirdparty utility owners’ relocation work to minimize impacts to construction efforts,” said Sexton. “So far, this work has not impacted project delivery and it appears it will continue to be a non-issue moving forward.”

The precast beams are cast by Texas Concrete Partners based out of Victoria, Texas, the concrete deck panels are cast

by Bexar Concrete Works, the MSE wall panels are cast by

Tricon, and the steel trusses and overlook platforms for the pedestrian bridge over the San Gabriel River will be fabricated

by Contech Engineered Solutions.

The Lane management team also includes Vice President Jason McLear, construction west; Senior Project Engineer Benjamin Jablonksi; and Project Superintendent Julian Sepeda.

“The Mobility Authority, the contractor and the CEI have a great working relationship,” said Ancira. “Open and transparent communication is key to working successfully together.”

There are approximately 105 Lane and subcontractor personnel on-site. The main subcontractors are Ranger Excavating for earthwork activities; Beaird Drilling for bridge drill shafts; SICE for electrical and signage components; D Guerra Construction for waterline utilities; and Oscar Orduno for temporary special shoring.

New materials being brought in include more than 230,000 tons of concrete, more than 21,000 tons of asphalt paving, 325,000 cubic yards of MSE wall aggregates and 148,000 tons of concrete paving aggregates.

Additional equipment on-site includes seven large excavators, 11 wheel loaders, four rough terrain cranes, and six dozers.

“The major wear and tear issues that occur are potholes,” said Ancira. “These occur along the existing southbound and northbound lanes of 183A. Repairs are made once it is safe and when minimal impact to the traveling public can be expected. We have on-site mechanics and when needed, thirdparty mechanics are brought in.”

In the Texas area, Lane purchases and rents equipment from local and regional dealerships.

The traffic management plan is working well.

“The project is phased to shift the current lanes toward the outside while the majority of construction activities takes place in the center median,” said Sexton. “Once we shift the lanes back to their original positions, they’ll remain there in the final configuration. With the majority of work focused inside the median of the existing lanes, we’ve managed to maintain nearly full lane capacity during construction so far.

The largest anticipated temporary reduction in traffic capacity will occur in the future, when excavation and bridge work at SH 29 occurs.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of Texas Central Mobility Authority).

Case Touts New ‘Fleet of One’ DL550 Compact Dozer Loader MINOTAUR from page 14

big three providers of precision construction solutions — Leica Geosystems, Topcon and Trimble. This allows equipment owners to add the machine to their fleet with the confidence it can be integrated directly into preferred/existing machine control ecosystems.

It also provides rental fleets the ability to easily switch between machine control brands, which allows for excellent rental flexibility based on customer preference.

Powerful Site Loader, Attachment Beast In its loader configuration, the Case Minotaur DL550 features a 5,500-lb. rated operating capacity (50 percent of tipping load) with 12,907 lb. of breakout force. It features a vertical lift pattern and operates in the ISO control pattern. It also features advanced electro-hydraulic control capabilities where operators can easily dial in total machine responsiveness to low, moderate or aggressive; or independently set tilt, lift and drive speed, as well as loader arm and drive control to best meet the demands of the work.

Case builds the machine standard from the factory with enhanced high-flow auxiliary hydraulics for running the most demanding and high-powered attachments — such as mulching heads and cold planers.

Minotaur’s enhanced high-flow hydraulics can deliver up to 41.6 gpm at 4,100 psi via hydraulic quick couplers.

The machine also allows operators to harness all that power with “Hydraulics on Demand”, where the operator can easily select the percentage of auxiliary hydraulic flow to the attachment via the machine’s multi-function display. This allows the operator to dial in attachment performance to their preference or the recommendation of the attachment manufacturer — ensuring both effective and proper operation of the attachment.

“The front coupler featured on this machine is the same as you will find on most compact loaders — this opens the machine up to be used with hundreds of attachments,” said Jacobsmeyer. “We’ve given operators the ability to turn this compact dozer loader into one of the industry’s most versatile and powerful compact machines, and deliver on the awesome capabilities that other manufacturers tried to emulate after the original concepts were announced.”

Fully Connected, Collaborative Fleet Management Case has taken fleet management of compact equipment to an entirely new level with the inclusion of the Case SiteConnect Module — a powerful device that improves

The Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader has pushed through more than 10,000 hours of field tests, in addition to countless customer clinics and typical lab and engineering testing.

the volume, flow and integration of data to the Case SiteWatch telematics platform for real-time monitoring and management of maintenance and service intervals, as well as the analysis of equipment utilization and performance.

It’s also the foundation from which Case has made the collaborative fleet management and remote diagnostics of compact equipment a reality. This enhanced connectivity allows the machine owner to share — with permission — real-time machine information with their Case dealer and the Case Uptime Center in Racine, Wis. “With both Case and the local Case dealer monitoring machine performance, we’re able to be proactive and anticipate potential equipment needs to maximize uptime,” said Jacobsmeyer. “The goal of these advances is rooted in customer need for maximum uptime, and the Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader delivers that — including the ability to remotely diagnose machine events and drastically shorten response times when service is needed.”

Case achieves these remote service capabilities through the Case SiteManager App (iOS and Android). This app pairs the operator’s phone or device to the machine to enable remote analysis by a certified Case technician, which allows them to diagnose the health of each connected machine through various parameter readings and fault codes. The technician decides as to whether the issue can be addressed remotely

— such as clearing codes or updating software — or if it requires a trip to the machine.

“Reducing trips to the field, showing up with the needed parts on the first visit, and the ability to avoid field visits all together by remotely clearing basic codes all drive major savings in time and resources, both for the equipment owner and the dealer service department,” said Jacobsmeyer. “This type of collaborative fleet management has the ability to drive major gains for fleets of all sizes and ensure optimal uptime.”

And in the case of a service need, the Case Minotaur DL550 is built for ease of service with groundline access to grouped service points and checks like every machine in the Case lineup. Service intervals and machine operating information are easily accessed in the machine’s eight-inch LCD display in the cab.

Proudly Manufactured in Wichita, Kan. The Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader is manufactured in Wichita, Kan., on a dedicated line purpose-built for this one-of-a-kind, industry-first machine. It represents more than six years of development and collaboration between numerous Case plants, personnel, testing facilities and departments.

“The Case Minotaur DL550 embodies our dedication to practical innovation — real world, customer-driven solutions,” said

Jacobsmeyer. “Through this, we created a whole new equipment category and we’re delivering the integrated technologies that drive improvements for operators in the field and for business owners at their bottom line.”

New Rockstar Machine Tours North America In its 180th year in business, Case has proven to be a company on the move — and the development of the Case Minotaur DL550 compact dozer loader is proof of that in both iron and technology. To celebrate the launch of this first-of-its-kind machine, Case is launching a tour of the United States and Canada with more than 30 stops where the machine will be showcased at Case dealer locations.

“We are bringing the excitement of this industry-changing launch to every corner of North America,” said Terry Dolan, vice president — North America, Case Construction Equipment.

“We have more than 180 years of experience in the field, but we’re making moves like a startup, dedicating more time and resources to the field, and spending more time where it counts — with the men and women who run businesses and operate this equipment every day. We can’t wait to see you on tour.”

Common Research Interests Lead to Collaboration On Zip-Form System

straints? And then we found a way to put that into our structural model.”

Finally, Ismail was ready to see his unorthodox beam design become a reality. Harriss’ computations and Baker’s jig-system were essential to shaping the formwork, which was created at the Fay Jones School’s Build Lab in Fayetteville, where Baker oversees the digital steel lab.

Her method allowed them to make steel formwork with complex curvature like Ismail wanted almost as easily as she could make formwork for a flat beam.

“This is a vast improvement on other methods that might be used to make curving formwork,” she said in describing the process.

Common Materials Make Up BeamÊs Concrete Cameron Murray, an assistant professor of civil engineering at UA who advises Poblete, assisted with the pouring of concrete into the formwork the week prior to the test.

While he said there was nothing unusual about the concrete used, he noted “all of the materials were made in Arkansas. The coarse aggregate was quarried in Hindsville, the sand was from the Arkansas River in Van Buren, the cement was made in Foreman, [and] the water was from

“We can apply these principles to materials that already have a flatness to them and manufacture pieces that are more efficient in strength and yet use fewer resources,” he explained.

The opportunity to prove it came when Baker ran into Ismail at a conference, found they had common research interests, and invited him to speak to her class. While Ismail was talking to her class about beam optimization, a lightbulb went off over her head: Maybe the Zip-Form system could be used to help Ismail create a beam of complex curvature?

What followed were months of collaboration. Inherent in their discussion was that fabrication methods were inextricable from the design.

As Ismail explained, “We’re trying to develop methods that are fabrication-aware. When we’re actually designing and optimizing the structure, we know how it’s going to be built, and the rules of how it’s going to be built go back into the design process so it’s more circular and not as linear. So, we had months of conversations with Emily and Edmund about the actual mathematical principles behind their ZipForm system. What were the limits? What were the con-

Beaver Lake. Concrete is inherently a local material.”

The conventionality of the materials underscored Ismail’s larger goal: he is interested in more efficient and sustainable design, but not necessarily revolutionary new materials.

While he is excited about the potential for things like 3-D printed housing, that is decades away, and people need homes now, he said.

“Our group is interested in what is applicable today, like what can we go out and build right now. And that’s why we’re looking at regular strength concrete, regular strength steel, and fabrication methods that are relatively cheap and affordable, which is why this Arkansas project was so exciting. Emily and Edmund had been working on a method that can be replicated anywhere in the world quite easily.”

Beam Successfully ÂFailedÊ Test as Hoped The actual beam test proved uneventful in the way success often does.

It was designed to carry 8,500 lbs., and beyond that, the goal was to fail safely, in what Ismail describes as a “slow, ductile manner. You don’t want it to collapse suddenly and in a scary way.”

His beam performed the way he hoped, as it exhibited small cracks and minor bowing, or what Poblete described as “flexural cracking and deflection.” The test proceeded through a series of steady weight increases followed by temporary plateaus, the spidering cracks documented by graduate students wielding black markers crawling under and around the beam.

Finally, the load was increased to 12,000 lbs., a weight far above its design strength, at which point an obvious failure occurred when a large chunk finally broke off, according to an article on the university website.

When the test was concluded, Ismail was relieved that his beam had done what it was designed to do, and with a lot less concrete than usual.

Ismal also believes the stress test’s results revealed the tip of the iceberg.

“There’s so much more we can do,” he explained. “There are more complex structures we can design, and then there’s more testing that we can do that gets into much more rigorous things like dynamic loading, testing for vibrations, and all sorts of things that the Arkansas structures’ lab is definitely capable of. So, this was, in a lot of ways, proof that this idea can work, and now we need to actually develop it further.” 

ClearSpan Offers Pre-Engineered Steel Building Solution In any industry, circumstances can arise that require businesses to find a quick building solution. This can be a stressful situation, as operations often have to scramble and rapidly gauge their options to find the right structure.

For an immediate answer, businesses frequently turn to pre-engineered structures over conventional buildings. While this can be a quick and convenient option, operations will also want to ensure they’re getting a high-quality building that can stand the test of time.

That’s where ClearSpan comes in.

ClearSpan’s pre-engineered steel buildings provide operations with a structure that’s not simply just a quick fix, but that also can be a reliable long-term solution, the company said.

When businesses work with ClearSpan, they benefit from quick construction timelines and industry-leading warranties. Their building will provide a number of unique benefits, ensuring they get an immediate solution that’s easy to maintain and continues to meet the operation’s needs, well into the future, ClearSpan said.

What Are Pre-Engineered Buildings?

If a building has been pre-engineered, it means the structure has already gone through the design and engineering process.

The building components are manufactured to create specific dimensions and provide optimal strength. Operations can then choose between different building sizes, according to their requirements.

When businesses need a building immediately, these structures offer a convenient and reliable solution. ClearSpan’s pre-engineered steel buildings are manufactured with ultimate durability and include blueprints that certify their strength against various snow and wind loads. This allows them to withstand the harshest environments and meet just about any building codes, so every business is guaranteed a durable and longlasting structure.

Pre-engineered steel buildings utilize modular construction, so that they can be more adaptable. Although these structures are available in pre-determined sizes, modular construction allows them to be easily expanded upon in the future, if a business desires.

The ultimate goal of pre-engineered steel buildings is to provide a structural solution to nearly any industry. They are extremely adaptable and durable, and their design gives them the versatility to serve any operation’s purpose. From the military, to athletics, to the most demanding storage applications, ClearSpan’s pre-engineered steel buildings offer a superior, cost-effective solution.

ClearSpan’s pre-engineered steel buildings are manufactured with ultimate durability and include blueprints that certify their strength against various snow and wind loads.

The fabric buildings feature a truss frame design that creates wide-open interiors with no support posts. This ensures operations get abundant space, without any obstructions to hinder potential work or production. The frame also creates naturally high clearances, allowing even the tallest vehicles or machinery to maneuver in and out of the pre-engineered steel buildings comfortably.

The cladding is naturally translucent, so it allows sunlight to filter through and flood the structure’s interior. This produces lighting that’s easy on the eyes, and operations can save on utility costs because they don’t have to run artificial lighting throughout the day.

The cover also is climate-sensitive, which allows the interior to be 10 degrees cooler in Helical anchors are drilled directly into the ground and require minimal excava- the summer and 10 degrees warmer in the tion, which limits its impact on the surrounding environment, and allows for sim- winter.

The absence of combustion emissions, combined with low noise levels, make the range a perfect match for power plant maintenance where indoor or underground applications are required. It delivers more freedom to users and allows for low-maintenance easy plug and play installation- all while producing zero emissions.

Powered by electricity rather than fuel, the energy-efficient E-Air also offers savings of up to 50 percent in running costs for the end user when compared to its diesel counterpart- a significant cost-advantage for any sites and applications where there is a ready electric power supply.

Managing Director of IB Service, Mehmet Christian Kerimoglu, said “With the E-Air compressors, we have the advantage of having no exhaust gases. We can also significantly reduce the noise level, thereby protecting our employees. We don’t have to check after each shift whether they need to be refuelled, and we can achieve continuous output without having to pay any expensive fuel costs. They have such immense added value that we will continue to invest in the electric compressors in the future”.

Bastei Bridge in Saxony, Germany, spans over spectacular sandstone rock formations and part of a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The fragile surroundings require the company to keep noise to an absolute minimum and an electric E-Air VSD compressor does just that.

Atlas Copco Emission-Free Compressor Lends Assist On Rock Stabilization Project Imagine a fairytale bridge, nested in a spectacular rock formation of a nature reserve in Saxony, Germany. This is the site where Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung handles an extensive rock stabilization project that will ensure visitors’ safety.

The company relies on an Atlas Copco electric mobile compressor, which is completely emission-free, quiet and exactly the right fit for its pneumatic equipment.

Bastei bridge in Saxony, Germany, is a monumental bridge spanning over spectacular sandstone rock formations and part of a Unesco World Heritage Site. At the end of this beautiful landmark, a viewpoint offers a breath-taking view over the national park and the river Elbe, snaking its way through the landscape 650 ft. below.

It is right underneath this viewpoint that Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung is consolidating the porous rock, installing safety nets that will keep the viewpoint stable.

Keeping Quiet, Saving Fuel Costs Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung is a specialist when it comes to rock stabilization projects in challenging conditions.

The fragile surroundings require the company to keep noise to an absolute minimum

and an electric E-Air VSD compressor does just that. At the same time, the compressor is plugged into an existing power supply, so Jähnig avoids costly diesel top-ups as well as exhaust gases.

The project has taken 8 months to complete, so those fuel and emission savings are mounting up.

Adjustable Pressure for Flexible Compressed Air Jähnig uses its compressor to drill the special anchors and press special suspensions to keep the rocks in place. These drilling operations require various pressure settings, which is right up to alley of the E-Air VSD compressor.

PACE technology allows the operator to digitally choose a specific pressure, that matches the pneumatic tool.

Soon the Bastei bridge viewpoint platform can reopen to tourists from all over the world, and the fauna and flora will remain undisturbed, due to the expertise of Jähnig GmbH Felssicherung and its choice for electric equipment.

Doosan Portable Power Unveils Air Compressors Accessories

The double hose reel is placed at the front of the compressor and swivels so the hoses are easy to access without having to move the air compressor.

Doosan Portable Power announced an allnew lineup of accessories for its portable air compressors.

New ‘Buy America’ Rules to Be Formalized in Coming Months

In May, the DOT proposed pausing the Buy America requirements to allow for development of enforcement and compliance guidance and to provide for strengthened enforcement over time.

PROVISION from page 38

wondering where the trillion dollars went while they are still stuck in traffic, still hearing about boil water orders and still wondering why we can’t have better transit systems.”

Slowing Its Roll The association was happy when in May the DOT proposed slowing rollout of the Buy America requirements to allow for development of enforcement and compliance guidance.

Suspension of provisions was intended to “provide for strengthened enforcement over time,” according to the DOT. During negotiations of the infrastructure legislation, AGC secured exemptions for concrete, asphalt and aggregates from the definition of ‘construction materials,’ the association reported.

“AGC supports this move by the department and will voice that during the comment period.”

At a time when transportation contractors are still facing historic disruptions to the material supply chain, “it is self-evident that more time and collaboration among industry partners is needed to be able to meet these new requirements,” said AGC. Smolen and Park attribute the waiver to the inclusion of construction materials, which have not been previously subject to these rules.

“USDOT sought comments from affected industry participants as to whether to pro-

vide a broad, temporary waiver.”

The industry responded and the waiver came about. In doing so, the agency noted it would allow implementation of the Buy America requirements in a way not overly burdensome.

DOT issued the waiver in light of ongoing supply-chain issues and other regional challenges in sourcing domestic construction materials.

“The de-facto transitional period affords USDOT the time to develop the Biden administration’s enforcement and compliance mechanisms,” said the Ballard Spahr partners.

“It also provides state DOTs the time necessary to update their standards and specifications, allows contractors and industry participants to incorporate the relevant Buy America contract provisions and better informs the FHWA in addressing its noncompliance and oversight processes.”

Gauging Industry Hardship AGC expressed concerns with the Buy America provision back in January, warning that Biden’s regulation could delay infrastructure projects funded by the law itself.

“The IIJA provides funding for physical infrastructure like roads, water systems, the electric grid, and more,” said the association.

“The new and expanded Buy America requirements apply to all federally funded programs and include manufactured products, like iron and steel, and also construction materials used on projects within those

programs.”

The AGC pointed out, too, that federal agencies had voiced concern over whether project sponsors would be able to complete projects with these requirements as they stand.

The association said at the time it was working with various agencies as well as other industry stakeholders in addressing this issue.

“Many products manufactured in the U.S. do not meet the requirements because some component or material used in production is globally sourced,” said AGC. “For instance, a pump manufactured in the U.S. that includes an impeller produced overseas does not satisfy the requirements.”

AGC considered EPA’s model “successful in getting funds out the door through its state revolving fund programs for drinking water and wastewater projects and still abiding by similar requirements since the Recovery Act of 2009.”

In July, DOT published a request for information on the provision requirements that specified construction materials be produced domestically.

The agency wanted to know how the requirement should be interpreted and implemented.

DOT wanted to gauge present availability of U.S.-produced construction materials commonly used and how the requirements might impact DOT-funded projects.

“AGC helped lead an effort with 41 other national organizations calling on the admin-

istration to extend the 180-day waiver to ensure that projects are not needlessly delayed,” the organization said. “AGC continues to be concerned about the current availability and pricing of construction materials and the unintended consequences that this new provision could have.”

The National Law Review noted that various federal agencies have historically implemented their own domestic materials provisions over the years.

Those have included standalone provisions that apply to particular grant and infrastructure projects.

The new guidance, however, is applicable to all federal financial assistance programs where funds are available for infrastructure projects, according to the Review.

This, regardless of whether the funding comes from the IIJA, although limited exceptions might be available for emergency response expenditures, said David Gallacher and Ariel Debin.

New rules and further updates are likely to be formalized in the coming months, they reported.

But if an agency has existing Buy America requirements that are more stringent than these new requirements, then these new requirements may be superseded by the more restrictive requirement.

“Interpreting the government’s various requirements can be tricky, especially where compliance with one does not necessarily mean compliance with another,” said Gallacher and Debin.  CEG

ASV Smooth CTL Turf Tracks Outperform Treaded Tracks ASV Holdings Inc., a manufacturer of all-purpose and all-season compact track loaders and skid steers, offers smooth turf tracks for minimized damage to soft, delicate surfaces.

With a combination of greater ground surface area and the benefits of ASV’s Posi-Track undercarriage, the turf tracks can achieve equal or better traction than treaded tracks on dry surfaces. ASV turf tracks can be trusted to minimize damage to topsoil and root systems, allowing for faster job completion in landscape, hardscape and golf course applications, according to the manufacturer.

“People are often surprised by how well our turf tracks perform,” said Buck Storlie, product manager of the ASV brand. “We have some landscapers who put them on for a single job and then never take them off because of the exceptional performance, especially in dry ground conditions.

“In a field test, we completed 30 counter rotations with an ASV machine with turf tracks and a sim-

ilar model from another manufacturer with treaded tracks. The turf tracks left no damage while the other model dug a rut 2-3 inches deep into the topsoil.”

ASV’s distinctive green turf tracks have a completely smooth design and are manufactured from

a specialized blend that resists cracking, provides traction and maximizes overall life. The rubber tracks eliminate rusting and corrosion because they contain no steel cords.

Additionally, durability is maximized through

seven layers of embedded puncture, cut and stretch-resistant material, the manufacturer said.

These turf tracks are available

“In a field test, we completed 30 counter rotations with an ASV machine with turf tracks and a similar model from another manufacturer with treaded tracks. The turf tracks left no damage while the other model dug a rut 2-3 in. deep into the topsoil,” said Buck Storlie, product manager of the ASV brand.

for the RT-25, RT-40, RT-50, RT65 and VT-70 High-Output models.

ASV turf tracks amplify the effects of ASV’s Posi-Track undercarriage. Posi-Track features include flexible tracks, a large number of ground contact points and an open-rail undercarriage that contribute to longer component wear life, even ground distribution, more track on the ground and a virtually eliminated risk of derailment.

Turf tracks take that to the next level with the elimination of treads, providing maximum ground contact and achieving traction on dry surfaces comparable to or better than machines with treads, the manufacturer said.

ASV turf tracks are backed by the company’s 2-year/2,000-hour warranty, which covers tracks for the entire period and includes a noderailment guarantee on new machines.

Komatsu, Cummins to Develop Zero Emissions Mining Trucks Komatsu, a global provider of equipment and services for the construction and mining industries and Cummins, a global power leader, have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of zeroemissions haulage equipment.

Building on a legacy of diesel engine partnership across a wide variety of mining and construction equipment, Cummins and Komatsu will initially focus on zero emissions power technologies including hydrogen fuel cell solutions for large mining haul truck applications.

In August 2021, Komatsu announced its power agnostic truck concept for a haulage vehicle that can run on a variety of power sources, including diesel electric, trolley, battery power and hydrogen fuel cells. Working with Cummins is complementary to Komatsu’s development of the power agnostic truck.

“Komatsu’s deep expertise in mining and equipment design and integration paired with our advanced power technologies

including hydrogen fuel cells will accelerate decarbonization of mining equipment,” said Amy Davis, vice president and president of new power at Cummins. “The mining industry has great potential to lead in adopting renewable solutions.”

As a leading independent power provider in the mining segment, Cummins provides unique application understanding that is critical to introducing reliable, quality products that can withstand the harshest environments. Cummins has a broad portfolio of batteries, fuel cell systems and electrolyzers (for generating hydrogen), that are key building blocks for decarbonization. Together, the two companies have a long history in the global mining market and strong technical capabilities necessary to develop these new solutions.

“Cummins has been a long-term partner of Komatsu and has been investing in the key technologies required to support the energy transition in mining,” said Masayuki Moriyama, president of Komatsu’s Mining Business Division.

Komatsu’s power agnostic truck concept undergoing testing at the company’s proving grounds in Tucson, Ariz.

“These are critical technologies for helping mining customers reduce carbon emissions and accelerate carbon neutrality.

Building on our partnership with Cummins, we are working to accelerate sustainable solutions for our customers.”

As a company, Komatsu is committed to minimizing environmen-

tal impact through its business, targeting a 50 percent reduction in CO2 emissions from use of its products and production of its equipment by 2030 (compared to 2010 levels) and a challenge target of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.

Komatsu has worked to reduce greenhouse gas emissions for cus-

tomers through innovative product development for decades in many areas including electric diesel dump trucks, hybrid excavators, electric power excavators, regenerative energy storage capabilities and fuel saver programs.

Komatsu also announced in 2021 the creation of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) alliance with customers to actively collaborate on product planning, development, testing and deployment of the next generation of zero-emission mining equipment and infrastructure. The alliance’s initial target is advancing Komatsu’s poweragnostic truck concept, with a goal of commercial offering in 2030.

The collaboration with Cummins is part of Komatsu’s efforts to provide zero emissions solutions for its global customers.

Moving forward, Komatsu intends to explore further possibilities in zero emissions mining haul truck development.

JLG’s Next Gen Augmented Reality App Now Available JLG Industries Inc. announced updates to the JLG Augmented Reality (AR) app, giving the digital tool a facelift and expanding its capabilities to be even more useful to users on a day-to-day basis.

The next-generation upgrades include an all-new interface and experience, new content, cloud-based and offline use, expanded machine inspections functionality and a new “Fleet” feature.

“This new, expanded version of the JLG AR app not only has a more modern look and feel, but it also operates more effectively and efficiently,” said Ara Eckel, director of product management for connected solutions, JLG. “Taking a machine-first approach, we have evolved this tool with very targeted enhancements and additional features that will improve users’ productivity. Its’ customer-centric design makes the app easier to navigate and more quickly connects our customers to the information they are looking for.”

The JLG AR app continues to provide five important functions that increase safety, productivity and efficiency on job sites: 1) Machine Visualization, 2) Accessory Visualization, 3) Operation Guidance, 4) Decal Viewer and 5) Inspection Assistant.

Upgrades to the app include several performance-enhancing capabilities to these functions, such as a refreshed mobile application interface and experience that starts at the machine level, allowing users to select a product and go directly into its content module from either the easy-to-use menu guide or through the app’s improved search functionality.

New machines and content also have been added to the equipment modules offering users today more than 60 models to view and manipulate in 3-D. Content is now cloud-based, rather than native, to reduce the application’s size from 1.3 GB to 227 MB and enhance accessibility to new and updated content. And, the inspection assistance functionality has expanded to cover annual machine inspections, daily machine inspections and predelivery inspections.

The new “Fleet” feature helps JLG customers optimize their fleet management right from the app. Users can now add and store multiple assets for easy tracking by serial number/asset ID. And, users can save data on machines and access it instantly, regardless of connectivity.

“Using the JLG AR app, users can get on-demand, digital access to information specific to a machine without ever leaving the job site,” said Eckel.

Examples of this are: • Project managers using the app’s machine visualization can make sure the equipment they’re ordering will fit in their workspace and reach the required areas without looking up dimensions in a

manual or online.

• Rental companies using the app’s accessory visualization can be confident that they’re ordering the right accessories to fit the models they carry without referencing a parts manual to verify fit.

• Before machine use, operators using the app’s operation guidance can see an overlay of a machine’s control panel with explanations of control functions. And, using the decal viewer, operators can scan decals and read them in their native language.

• Technicians using their phones can walk through the inspection assistant to ensure they are following proper protocols and efficiently documenting every step.

“There are a lot of added benefits and value for users in the updated JLG AR app,” said Eckel, “and the best part is that it is 100-percent free to download and does not require a login to use [some limitations may apply in select global markets].”

The new JLG Augmented Reality app is now live in the Apple App Store and available for download.

Current app users can easily update to the new version from the same download. The upgraded app will soon be available for download in the Google Play Store.

AGRICULTURAL TRACKS FOR LARGE-POWER TRACTORS SPECIAL RUBBER FORMULA TREAD PATTERN

THREE ANCILLARY WIRE PLIES ABOVE STEEL CABLE

Provides high wear resistance and durability

With different angles improve the stability of the track body

GALVANIZED STEEL CABLE WITH PATENTED STRUCTURE

ADDITIONAL WIRE PLY UNDER STEEL CABLE Protects the steel cable from the wear of the driving wheel

Provides high strength along the track length

REINFORCED DRIVE LUG The drive lug applies unique rubber compound with high hardness and tensile strength. Meanwhile, its inner structure is optimized according to different drive type (friction or positive), allows long service life.

17

FRICTION DRIVE

POSITIVE DRIVE

A friction drive belt, as implied by its name, is a track that is tensioned to smooth rubber wheels much like a conveyor belt. The tractive force generated for propulsion is the friction between the drive wheels and the roller path of the track.

The positive drive track is primarily a friction drive belt (most of the time) with metal sprockets that are interlaced with rubber blocks. At the point the friction drive is overwhelmed, the sprocket catches the rubber blocks for a positive engagement without any noticeable difference.

STEEL CHAINS AND RUBBER PAD ASSEMBLY

OUR STEEL CHAINS ARE HARDENED ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO PROMOTE LONGER WEAR LIFE

MANUFACTURED WITH BORON Steel is manufactured with boron to create a harder steel compound.

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE HARDENED STEEL To enable steel to reach its maximum hardness, it is first heated and then quenched in a water-based solution.

It is then heated again until it reaches the correct temper color and re-quenched to ensure the steel will deliver maximum performance.

All components (pins, bushings, and links) are hardened using the same process.

WATCH FOR INFERIOR OFFERINGS THAT ONLY HAVE A HARDENED LAYER ON TOP These products will be inherently weaker and more prone to failure.

A CONVENIENT, TWO-IN-ONE SOLUTION PAIR OUR DURABLE STEEL CHAINS WITH OUR EXTREME-DUTY RUBBER PADS (For more information on our Rubber Pads, go to page 18)

ALL STEEL CHAINS AND PAD ASSEMBLIES FROM SUMMIT SUPPLY ARE GUARANTEED TO FIT YOUR MACHINE.

They’re often a 70:30 offset.

Q

HOW DO I MAKE A CLAIM ON A WARRANTY?

A

In the rare event you need to submit a warranty claim, take a minimum of three pictures: the serial number, the entire product, and the failure. Email them to warranty@summittracks.us and your rep.

Include the date the product was purchased, the date it was installed, and any other details you feel are pertinent to your claim.

Q A

HOW DOES RECYCLING WORK?

Q

WHICH TREAD PATTERNS FOR MY TRACK LOADER WORK BEST IN SPECIFIC ENVIRONMENTS?

A

Reference page 10 for a visual.

Q

WHAT ARE YOUR RUBBER TRACKS MADE OF?

A

Our rubber tracks are a blend of natural and synthetic virgin rubber. They’re manufactured with continuous steel cording and hardened steel links for durability and longevity. We do not use any recycled rubber.

Q

TO ENSURE SAME DAY SHIPPING, ORDERS SHOULD BE PLACED

BY WHAT TIME?

A

Place your order by 3pm, by location, or by the time the shipping trucks leave.

We accept tracks for recycling at our New Jersey, Texas, and Washington facilities. Once you know the quantity and width of the tracks, please contact us for details and costs prior to shipping them. Keep in mind that all tracks must be strapped to a pallet and we do NOT accept non-metal core tracks or tires.

Q

SHOULD I MOUNT TRACKS IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION?

A

Most tracks are non-directional. In the event they are not, the side of the track is marked with arrows.

Customer service was excellent. The gentlemen helped me find a set of tracks for a customer. He went so far as to email me a picture so the customer could see firsthand what he was getting. Got order in a very timely manner.

I’m very impressed with the speed at which my order arrived. Excellent service.

Bob S.

Debbie L.

So far the best I’ve dealt with.
