XBroom Aims for Simplicity in Sweeping Process...22

Williams Brothers Construction Co. Inc. continues to make strides on the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) Interstate 610/Cambridge project in the south-central area of Houston, a $117 million Texas Clear Lanes initiative that is reconstructing mainlanes, frontage roads and adding a freeway overpass with eight direct connect tie-ins at I-610/SH 288.

The goal of the project, which began in early 2020, is to create multiple connecting points to major event venues such as NRG Stadium, the Museum District, several universities and the Medical Center; and reduce congestion and increase capacity.

The project, expected to be completed in 2025, is one of six Texas Clear Lanes projects in the Houston area. The eight direct connect tie-ins are key factors of the project as they will complete and link the partially completed connector ramps see TEXAS page 16

Construction Industry Embracing, Adopting AI Technology at Record Clip New Tech Proving Useful in Road, Bridge Research Projects

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

The construction industry is adopting AI technology at a record clip, with new applications being introduced and integrated daily. The verdict is still out on the practicality of many of these new systems, but the belief is if it works for one industry it could be modified for success in another. Concerns about use and users are not stopping developers from throwing technology out there to see what sticks. see TECHNOLOGY page 60

AI-driven predictive analytics is being integrated to achieve more resilient and successful construction projects.

JLG Opens Las Vegas Service Center JLG Industries Inc., an Oshkosh company and a global manufacturer of mobile elevating work platforms (MEWPs) and telehandlers, has opened a 30,000-sq.-ft. Las Vegas Service Center to service equipment rentals and owned machines in the western United States.

Complete with eight shop bays and 2 acres of storage space, the location allows JLG and its team of 10 technicians to provide maintenance on large fleets and build out its customer base.

In addition, the new facility, located on 4140 Frehner Road in North Las Vegas, has overhead crane capacity that will enable heavy-duty repair on large machines to be completed safely and efficiently. With three 10-ton and two 5-ton cranes, JLG brings a much-needed repair capability to area clientele and is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. PST. “The new service center enables JLG to reach more western U.S. customers, and do so in a more sustainable manner,” said Ken Ferguson, JLG senior director of operations.

“This service center — JLG’s fifth service center location and its only location west of Texas — will help keep JLG fleets at peak performance and round out service offerings from JLG and its authorized service providers.”

Focus On Sustainable Features With JLG’s commitment to sustainability, delivering innovative, energy-efficient solutions was a priority when building this new service center. Two of the center’s key features promote a greener approach to servicing equipment.

JLG implemented a first-of-its-kind exterior wash pad on

site that recirculates and filters water to reduce waste and prevent chemicals from seeping into the sewage system. The water is collected within a floor basin to be treated and repurposed, and over time any waste that’s generated is separated and hauled away for disposal.

Additionally, JLG operates the new facility with a Solar Power Lift Dock that utilizes sensors to adjust for height variations of equipment loaded into the center. JLG has incorporated this solar solution at other JLG Service locations as a more sustainable alternative to hydraulic or electrical lift docks.

“JLG provides simple, effective solutions that create a more efficient service center experience while helping the environment,” Ferguson added. “It’s our vision that the longterm impact of these energy solutions can help offset carbon emissions within the market.”

Williams Brothers Reconstructs I-610, Bridges in Houston TEXAS from page 1

already built as a part of the SH 288 Express Toll Lane project completed in July 2022.

“Williams Brothers continues reconstructing mainlines, frontage roads and constructing the Interstate 610 eastbound mainlane bridge over FM 521/Almeda Road, including working on direct connector ramps to and from State Highway 288 as well as I-610,” stated the project report.

“The I-610 South Loop eastbound mainlanes between Fannin Street and Scott Street continues being reconstructed, with an anticipated completion in late 2024. This included removal the old retaining walls from the east and west sides of the I-610 bridge over FM 521/ Almeda Road, removal of the old I-610 eastbound main-lane bridge bent caps and columns and currently forming and placing concrete for columns and bent caps for the proposed new bridge over FM 521/Almeda Rd which is estimated for completion by the end of October.”

“Progress is moving forward with activities,” said Bambi Hall, TXDOT public Information officer of Southeast & North Harris County. “And TxDOT opened two NB and SB lanes on FM 521/Almeda Road; completed substructure work on IH610 EBML Bridge and Connector B & E Bridge; set new signal poles on IH610 frontage roads at Cambridge; and opened two IH610 road lanes between Scott Street to Holly Hall Road.”

The I-610 South Loop eastbound frontage road from Fannin Street to SH 288 remains under construction with estimated completion in spring 2024, according to the construction update. Work also is ongoing to place new high mast lighting along the new mainlanes of I-610 South Loop.

TxDOT’s project update praised the fast-paced nature of the operations.

“We continue to make great progress with the project,” it stated. “Each day, we work with the contractor to take every opportunity to accelerate work, wherever possible, to complete this $117 million project both efficiently and expeditiously.”

The day and night project has crews working from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and/or 9 p.m. to 5 a.m.

Williams Brothers is setting the concrete beams, including the steel girder beams crossing over FM/521/Almeda Road, according to the report.

“Installation of the proposed retaining walls on the west side of the bridge is almost complete; currently working on the retaining walls on the east side of the bridge over FM 521/Almeda Road. Work continues on the computerized transportation management system and signal systems for the new proposed Cambridge intersection that will cross

The goal of the project, which began in early 2020, is to create multiple connecting points to major event venues such as NRG Stadium, the Museum District, several universities and the Medical Center; and reduce congestion and increase capacity.

under I-610 South Loop main-lanes; adding sidewalks along FM 521/Almeda Rd and I-610 eastbound frontage road where sections of the roadway have been completed. The contractor began drilling operations in August 2023 for the new proposed elevated ramp from the I-610 eastbound frontage road to I-610 eastbound mainlanes to enable access from the mainlanes to I-610 eastbound.”

Crews also worked on concrete pavement at Union Pacific Railroad tracks on the I-610 eastbound frontage road and on East Almeda Road, including removal and replacement of driveways.

“UPRR also has some railroad signal work to be completed on the I-610 eastbound frontage road on the east side of FM 521/Almeda Road,” stated the report. “Once the rail work is complete, Williams Brothers will be able to complete the final section of paving over the railroad tracks, providing three frontage road lanes across the tracks. Finally, Williams Brothers has placed sod along the I-610 eastbound frontage road east of FM 521/Almeda Road where the sections of roadway paving are complete.

Sod placement also continues on the east end of the project along the I-610 westbound direct connector ramps to SH 288.”

Still ongoing are Connector C, II-610 eastbound to SH 288 southbound, Connector H, I-610 eastbound to SH 288

The I-610 South Loop eastbound mainlanes between Fannin Street and Scott Street continues being reconstructed, with an anticipated completion in late 2024.

Crews began drilling operations in August 2023 for the new proposed elevated ramp from the I-610 eastbound frontage road to I-610 eastbound mainlanes to enable access from the mainlanes to I-610 eastbound.

northbound, Connector B, SH 288 northbound to I-610 eastbound and Connector E, SH 288 southbound to I-610 eastbound.

Portions of the project that have not started yet include: • Construction of the proposed entrance ramp from I-610 eastbound frontage road (east of FM 521/Almeda Road to SH 288); • Proposed entrance ramp from I-610 Eastbound frontage road from east of FM 521/ Almeda Road to I-610 eastbound mainlanes; • New overhead sign bridges and new striping and roadway sign.

Completed Construction Since last January, Williams Brothers removed the existing I-610 eastbound mainlane bridge over FM 521/Almeda Rd/UPRR and the old retaining wall west of FM 521/Almeda Road. It also completed all drilled shafts for the proposed I-610 eastbound mainlane bridge, including the new I-610 eastbound mainlane bridge over Cambridge St (which will be able to cross under I-610); most of the proposed FM 521/Almeda Road Intersection reconstruction; and 95 percent of storm sewer installation along the FM 521/Almeda Rd Intersection.  CEG (All photos courtesy of TxDOT.)

John Deere Commits Donation Match to Construction Angels Continuing its commitment to the safety and wellbeing of the construction industry, John Deere announced that it is committed to matching donations, up to a total of $100,000, made to the Construction Angels nonprofit organization from Nov. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023.

Construction Angels offers critical support when tragedy strikes, providing financial assistance, grief counseling services and long-term scholarship funding to family members left behind when a construction worker dies on the job site.

“John Deere is humbled to provide support to Construction Angels,” said Jason Daly, vice president, earthmoving sales, marketing & customer success, John Deere.

“This contribution will enable continuity for family members who have lost a construction worker.”

According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, on average 4.5 construction employees are killed in a typical workday in the United States. In addition, approximately 20 percent of all jobsite deaths in the United States occur in the construction industry. The founder of

“John Deere is humbled to provide support to Construction Angels,” said Jason Daly, vice president, earthmoving sales, marketing & customer success, John Deere.

“This contribution will enable continuity for family members who have lost a construction worker.”

Construction Angels, Kristi Gibbs, has dedicated her life to providing a support system in the moments when tragedy strikes.

“In this business, you never know what might happen,” said Gibbs. “You never know what could cause an accident. Safety is our number-one goal in construction. We

try to anticipate any different type of construction issue that might occur on the jobsite and prepare for it. But there are accidents that happen that we cannot prepare for.”

When tragic construction-related fatalities occur, Construction Angels provides immediate financial assistance and grief counsel-

ing to the spouse and children who are left behind. Gibbs, who represents the third generation of an Ohio family that worked in the asphalt business, knew from a young age that she wanted to work in construction. She was previously employed at a concrete-cutting company in 2009 when she crossed paths with a family in need, resulting in the founding of the Construction Angels organization.

In addition to grief counseling and financial support, a scholarship fund created by the nonprofit helps ensure children who lost a parent will still have the financial means to pursue higher education.

Construction Angels is currently providing support in 24 states nationwide and is aiming to expand its assistance to all 50 states by 2030. Gibbs added, “working with these dealerships has really helped us move ahead, and partnering with companies like John Deere has given us some national exposure and helped us grow.”

XBroom Aims for Simplicity in Its Sweeping Process Sweeping is simple right? Well, that depends.

When it comes to pushing a broom, it certainly is, but with mechanical sweeping in a milling environment, it’s not always easy.

An Arizona-based manufacturer of a pickup broom designed for heavy-duty, high production sweeping is simplifying the sweeping process in both operation and maintenance with its XBroom sweeper.

Nescon LLC began limited production of the XBroom in 2009, and since then, word of the product has spread rapidly through the paving and milling industry, according to Will Conklin, CEO of the Mesa-based company.

“Simplicity is built into every aspect of the machine’s design,” Conklin said. “Keeping things simple has been our focus from the beginning, in both operation and maintenance. Two access doors and all hydraulic lines and electrical components are right there where you can see and work on them. We purposely have them exposed and not hidden in the frame. We wanted everything to be easy to get to and easy to maintain, from hydraulic manifolds down to electric boxes.”

Operating the XBroom is as simple as “turn on the PLC, turn on the PTO and push down the joystick,” Conklin added. “There are no added buttons, gadgets or levers necessary to perform the sweeping operation.”

Contractor Origins John Nesbitt was a paving contractor, but he realized he didn’t have a passion for the paving business. He was a natural inventor living in the production-oriented world of paving and realized his true calling was creating solutions to problems he experienced in his business every day, according to Conklin.

In 2007, Conklin, who had been working as a bartender in the college town of Tempe, talked Nesbitt into giving him a job — as a janitor. At the time, recalled Conklin, that’s about all his resume qualified him for.

“Like most companies in 2008, they were laying people off and I would learn a new job and just tell John [Nesbitt] to pay me the same rate,” Conklin said. “By 2009, I was shop lead as we built the first prototypes of John’s answer to the sweeping challenges he faced in the paving business.

“At the time, we had probably 10 milling machines — some older CMI machines and some Wirtgen and Roadtec machines,” he added. “For sweepers, we had what was available at the time. It seemed like we had more issues with the sweeping process than the actual paving. When a machine went down, which was a frequent occurrence, there was always difficulty getting support. Just getting someone on the phone was difficult.”

Sweeping millings is essential, and when that’s not happening, it holds up the entire process.

XBroom Difference • Time and money. Contractors’ challenges vary, according to Conklin, but in the case of APS, the problem was time. They were limited in the amount of milling they could perform daily because they were held up by sweeping the millings.

“Rather than having three pieces of equipment and five guys, they can do the job with one piece of equipment and one guy,” said Conklin.

Traditional brooms typically require a skid steer to pick up millings that have been swept. The XBroom picks the millings up, puts in in the self-

Will Conklin, CEO of Nescon LLC, which manufactures the XBroom, attributes the sweeper’s popularity with the paving company to ease of operation, service and maintenance.

The issues with sweepers were numerous, recalled Conklin.

“The most common were hydraulic and electronic issues,” he said. “But there were a lot of mechanical issues, too.”

Nesbitt and his team were keen to address the most common problems they were experiencing as they continued to develop what would become the XBroom, while putting it into service on paving jobs. Conklin split his time between the shop and the job site, acting as paving/milling/pavement recycling foreman and lead technician in the shop.

Soon, two prototypes were in service, and it didn’t take long for word to get out that a contractor had built his own sweeper.

“We started getting calls from major contractors about it fairly soon,” Conklin said. “It was sort of ‘we heard you produced your own sweeper, and it might be something we’d be interested in.’ From that point on, it was organic growth. We began to get orders almost immediately.”

The first XBroom was built in a single bay in Tempe and, understandably, competitors in the sweeping space thought it would just go away, Nesbitt remembered.

“We operated in very cramped quarters until we moved into this facility [current Mesa plant] in 2014. There were just three of us at the beginning — myself, Will [Conklin] and my son, Chris.”

Today, XBrooms are on milling jobs throughout the United States. They are in use and promoted by industry leaders like the Stanleys of American Paving Specialists (APS) and Raised on Blacktop fame. APS President Bill Stanley credits XBroom with delivering his company’s milling division from “broom hell.”

The XBroom’s extra large hopper capacity means more time sweeping and less time dumping.

contained hopper and hauls it off.

• Availability of support. Conklin touts his company’s 24-hour technical support service.

“We answer the phone, and we offer a rapid solution,” he said. “Advanced self-diagnostics are also utilized.”

• Accessible and adjustable. All controls and adjustments are visible from the easily accessible rear doors.

Adjustments to the main broom (angle and pressure) and elevator allow for picking up much larger millings than other sweepers, according to Conklin.

• Ease of operation. The XBroom requires a single operator, and no manual sweeping. According to Conklin, the broom can sweep 30 percent more than competitor brooms in the same amount of time.

Sweeping should be as easy as pushing a hand broom. As the cliché goes, necessity is the mother of invention and simplicity is often the foundation of a new, successful idea. John Nesbitt, Will Conklin and their team understood that and together their XBroom continues to help contractors do their jobs more easily and efficiently.  (All photos courtesy of XBroom.)

Wirtgen W 250 Fi Cold Milling Machine Removes Concrete at German Airport The renovation of the Leipzig/Halle Airport in Leipzig, Germany, required the complete removal of over 2 mi. of runway as well as the connecting taxiways in under 30 days.

More than 385,000 tons of extremely hard concrete reinforced with rebar mats (continuously reinforced concrete pavement — CRCP) were removed in the course of the cutting process.

To complete such a large project, the contracting company used powerful machines from Wirtgen’s W 250 Fi class with special modified milling drums.

ment.

Minimal Carbon Footprint Even the granulated concrete generated by the airport project in Leipzig was 100 percent reused as valuable recycled building material. After being stored temporarily near the building site, it was used in later renovation stages for the roadbed of the new runway. The short transport route and minimal need for new material left a very small carbon footprint.

On top of this, the Wirtgen cold milling machines themselves offered a broad spectrum of environmentally-friendly machine technologies. Fuel-optimized speed ranges in milling mode controlled by Wirtgen Mill Assist and enginetemperature-controlled fan speeds, for example, help protect the environment and conserve valuable resources.

Automatic activation and deactivation of the water spraying system and water metering dependent on milling performance considerably reduce water consumption.

Extensive Renovation of Damaged Taxiways It was necessary to completely remove the north-side runway due to “concrete cancer,” an alkali-silica reaction also found in older concrete-paved highways, which irreparably destroys the concrete from within.

A project of this magnitude requires high-performance machines and optimal cutting tools for the milling drum.

With more than 1,000 hp, the Wirtgen W 250 Fi class always has sufficient power reserves, according to the manufacturer.

The large milling machines were equipped with additional ballast weights in order to exploit their full performance potential in the cutting process. The greater operating weight leads to greater traction of the track units and optimal cutting performance by the milling drum.

The large milling machines for the Leipzig Airport project also were fitted with ECO milling drums and special picks. ECO milling drums have up to 50 per- Each Wirtgen W 250 Fi cold milling machine milled an average of 1,212 tons of cent fewer picks at larger tool concrete per day. spacings than standard milling drums.

BOMAG’s New Tandem Roller Brings Emissions-Free Compaction to Market POWER MOTIVE CORP. www.powermotivecorp.com Corporate Office 5000 Vasquez Blvd., Denver, CO 80216 303-355-5900

The new BW 100 AD e-5 features a low-voltage, 48V system with long-lasting 25 kWh Li-Ion batteries. The system requires no special safety precautions for maintenance, and the batteries offer plenty of capacity for a typical day’s work before recharging.

The new, compact BOMAG BW 100 AD e-5 electric tandem roller introduces sustainable, low-noise and zero-emissions operation to the 2.5-ton class commercial roller market.

With its 39.4-in. rolling width, this powerful all-arounder makes short work of parking lot, driveway, asphalt repair and soil compaction work. Impressively quiet, the new BOMAG roller is perfect for compacting in noise-sensitive areas such as nighttime jobs, inner city work and compacting around hospitals, the manufacturer said.

The new BW 100 AD e-5 features a low-voltage, 48V system with long-lasting 25 kWh Li-Ion batteries. The system requires no special safety precautions for maintenance, and the batteries offer plenty of capacity for a typical day’s work before recharging.

With its recuperative system, valuable energy is recovered during braking, converting mechanical energy back into electrical. The roller offers flexible plug and charging options to meet the customer’s needs.

The new tandem roller’s efficient e-PERFORMANCE system is equipped with two electric motors — one dedicated to travel and the other for steering and vibration. A 26.8hp (19,7 kW) electric motor propels the front and rear driven drums at working speeds of 0-3.1 mph and travel speeds reaching 6.2 mph.

When traveling, the roller only uses one motor to conserve energy consumption. The roller’s unique ECO function helps to further save battery power.

Affording enhanced visibility to the drum and drum edge,

the roller’s isolated platform reduces vibration feedback to the operator to improve comfort throughout the shift. With no warm-up necessary, the roller is quickly ready for work at the push of the ignition button, and its uncomplicated design allows operators of all experience levels to quickly pick up roller control, according to the manufacturer.

A digital 5-in. color display gives operators a quick glance of critical operating parameters, including speed, energy output, asphalt temperature, compaction progress, operating hours, battery charging capacity, duration and power. Available BOMAG TELEMATIC allows fleet managers to monitor roller location plus operating data from anywhere, at any time.

Similar to the diesel-powered BW 100 AD-5, the electric BW 100 AD e-5 flexibly allows for individual vibration control to both drums, and vibration actuation is conveniently controlled through the soft-response travel lever.

Tailoring compaction output to the job, the roller offers two vibration frequencies of 3,900 and 3,360 vpm (64 and 54 Hz) with a single amplitude of 0.20 in (0,50 mm), generating 7,194 and 5,395 lb. (32 and 24 kN) centrifugal force. Its intelligent vibration control (IVC) helps operators to know when compaction has been optimized to save on passes.

Featuring a pressurized water spray system with 54.2-gal. tank, the scraper bars are wind-protected to ensure uniform drum coverage in adverse weather conditions. Two scraper bars on each drum help to prevent material pick-up in both travel directions.

Trimble Finishes First Soil Compactor Test On Job Site Trimble has completed its first test of a fully autonomous soil compactor on a live job site, taking another important step on the path toward Trimble’s autonomous vision.

The Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Autonomous Compactors on a Dynapac CA 5000 soil compactor was tested on the Site C Clean Energy Project on the Peace River in northeast British Columbia. This is one of the industry’s first public tests of a fully autonomous compactor on a live construction site.

The fully autonomous machine completed 37 hours of real compaction work, operating seamlessly alongside a mixed fleet of compactors, the rest of which were running the Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System. Data from all machines — both with and without an operator — was delivered using Trimble WorksOS Software, which is being used as the system of record for all compaction data on the job site.

“The Site C project was the perfect place to begin live testing of the fully autonomous soil compactor because of the cost and safety benefits autonomy will bring to large infrastructure projects like this in the future, and because of the willingness of the project owner and contractor to use new tech-

earthfill dam, two diversion tunnels and a roller-compacted concrete foundation for the generating station and spillways.

“Autonomy plays an important part in Samsung’s vision of a more sustainable future, so it was thrilling to have a fully autonomous compactor being put to the test alongside our fleet of equipment with an operator on this project,” said Yunki Kim, group leader of the Construction Automation Team at Samsung C&T. Trimble will continue with extensive assisted testing through the rest of 2023 and into 2024 before making Trimble Earthworks for Autonomous Compaction available to select customers for beta testing.

Mecalac Makes Impact On Wheeled Excavator Market For decades, European contractors have been finding increased utilization for the wheeled excavator and in many cases, in applications that have never been seen in the United States. In recent years, this has been particularly true for the compact wheeled excavator.

It’s not unusual for innovation in the excavating trades to begin in Europe and work its way to North America. Take the tiltrotator as an example. In parts of Europe the majority of excavators sold are equipped with a tiltrotator, employing technology that is just now starting to achieve momentum in the United States.

What has been driving the increased utilization of the compact wheeled excavator in Europe?

• Mobility — wheeled machines can be driven down the highway without surface damage, eliminating the need for additional transportation equipment and reducing logistical challenges.

• Reduced Ground Damage — in delicate environments, rubber-tired excavators cause minimal ground damage and distribute the weight of the machine more evenly, reducing impact on ground surface, making them an ideal tool in parks and historical areas and for any environment where surface preservation is essential.

• Improved Fuel Efficiency — reduced weight of rubber tires when compared with steel tracks converts to lower fuel consumption.

• Versatility and Maneuverability — these machines navigate well through confined spaces and challenging terrains

with ease. A compact design with all-wheel steer and 360degree rotation enable operators to work in very tight areas that would often be a challenge in urban settings with older infrastructure.

• Attachment Versatility — rubber-tired excavators can be equipped with virtually any attachment that a tracked machine can handle, including all types of buckets, hammers, grapples and augers for digging.

• Urban Construction Adaptation — in Europe, construction projects often require precision work with minimal to no disruption to nearby infrastructure. Rubber-tired machines adapt well to these scenarios with reduced ground pressure and noise levels.

• Road Construction and Maintenance — this application is already being used in parts of the United States. Rubbertired machines are ideal for installing road barriers, repairing damaged pavement and other road work … again, causing minimal surface damage and the ability to quickly move from one site to another.

Several companies are now leading the way in importing these compact workhorses into the United States, one of which is Mecalac with its MWR series wheeled excavators.

The Mecalac machines are available in four different sizes: • 7MWR weighing 16,000 lbs.

• 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs. with a back blade, giving it the ability to push as well as dig. see EXCAVATOR page 46

Equipped with an Engcon tiltrotator and grapple, Canonica Land Works’ Mecalac 11MWR easily manipulates large tree trunks.

Contractors Add Compact Wheeled Excavators for Unique Applications Increasingly, contractors across the country are adding compact wheeled excavators to their fleet with a variety of unique applications. Here are two contractors that are realizing incredible benefit from using Mecalac equipment.

Kobo Utility Kobo Utility in Cape Cod, Mass., categorizes itself as a heavy electrical contracting company that also does a lot of utility work. Kobo has a broad reach with offices in Massachusetts, Florida and California.

“We started the process of replacing tractor loader backhoes in our fleet with wheeled excavators years ago,” said Kevin O’Neil, president of Kobo Utility.

“At that time, the excavators that were available to us were not an ideal solution. They were big and somewhat cumbersome. What we were really on the hunt for was a wheeled excavator that was under 30,000 pounds.

“I had been doing some research and became aware that Mecalac produced a machine that fit the category that I was looking for and initially I was disappointed to find out that they were not being brought into the United States. That all changed in 2016 when Lorusso Heavy Equipment in Massachusetts became the first dealer in the country. We purchased a Mecalac 9MWR weighing 17,000 lbs.

“With the Mecalac’s unique design, each time I added a Mecalac to the fleet, I was not only gaining an excavator, but also a telehandler with a set of forks, and a skid steer because of the Mecalac’s ability to push material. We were able to reduce our equipment inventory with every Mecalac purchase.

“It was a bit of a process, but it didn’t take long for our operators to prefer to have a Mecalac on the job versus the equipment that

we were replacing. Another bonus that we discovered was transportation. To haul a tractor loader backhoe to a job site, the backhoe took up 30 feet on the trailer. All folded up the Mecalac only took 9 feet.

“Surprisingly, we found that the Mecalac, which we were using as a multi-functional piece, did each job assigned to it better than the purpose-built machine that it was replacing. It dug better than an excavator, it lifted better than a telehandler and it pushed better than a skid steer.

“In comparing the Mecalac to a telehandler, you can pick up heavier materials, lift them straight up in the air, spin around 360 degrees and drop it directly behind you. You can never do that with a telehandler. A skid steer loader gives you terrible visibility and tears up a job site. With a Mecalac, you just pull into the pile, lift up the load and pull away. Your view is elevated, it’s

perfect, and the wheels do no surface damage at all.

“When I compare the working capacity of a tractor loader backhoe to the Mecalac MWR, the Mecalac digs better and loads better than a tractor loader backhoe and takes up far less space.

It’s a win-win. Loading the truck is so much easier with the Mecalac.

The loading bucket has full rotation and higher reach, and the truck can be parked virtually anywhere. With Mecalac’s unique coupler design you can change out from the digging bucket to the loading bucket literally in seconds without leaving the cab.”

The versatility of the Mecalac has made Kobo Utility’s transportation much simpler — one trailer, one machine and a handful of attachments that would typically include a narrow digging bucket, a 36-in. digging bucket, a loader bucket and a skid steer plate that allows it to add a couple of see CONTRACTOR page 46

Terrawise Solutions Introduces Its Newest CTL Attachments Terrawise Solutions is now offering compact track loader attachments — the TerraBlade, TerraTrimmer and the TerraRipper.

The TerraBlade is the world’s first 100 percent wireless grading attachment, meaning no need to dedicate the implement to one specific CTL, the company said. The blade, which is ready for any type of 2D or 3D machine control, can be automated via cross-slope, dual laser, sonic tracer, single or dual robotic or dual GPS. It also has versatile material carry modes, which can be adjusted in real moving time such as six-way dozer blade, box blade, and catch and spill mode.

This 3,000-lb. implement is a game changer for any skid steer, the company said.

The TerraTrimmer is practical for contractors looking to cut grade to a precise elevation in hard sub-base materials, while producing a smooth finish. Use the TerraTrimmer once to grade the soil and again to cut the compacted rock, concrete or asphalt.

The TerraTrimmer features a 16-in. OD trimmer rotor that cuts an 8-ft.-wide path. It requires a high flow skid steer and a separate case drain line for best performance.

The TerraRipper allows contractors to The TerraRipper allows contractors to break hard-packed ground and rip up break hard-packed ground and rip up turf turf and roots in just a few passes. and roots in just a few passes. The TerraRipper is rear-mounted and has a heavy-duty deck that consists of 12 carbide-tipped steel ripper teeth. Each tooth can be adjusted or replaced for effective scarification.

In today’s market, contractors need reliable and cost-effective solutions. With compact track loaders on almost every job site, the Terra products, which are all heavy duty and American made, are practical for different applications, according to the company.

Mecalac, a relative newcomer to the U.S. market, has long been held in high esteem in Europe as being a leader in technology, and is rapidly gaining the same reputation in North America.

The Mecalac MWR is not simply a tracked excavator that was redesigned to add wheels. The MWR was designed

Mecalac’s unique three-piece boom configuration and coupling system allows for a wide variety of attachments and applications.

from the ground up to be a wheeled excavator. This design has given the machine a very low profile with service access points that are literally just a couple of feet from the ground.

A very low center of gravity makes the Mecalac MWR the most stable wheeled excavator in its class on the market, according to the manufacturer. Maintenance also is safe and efficient, with every essential access point reachable with your feet on the ground. The cab is 20 percent lower than other machines, making the cab easily accessible to the driver.

The Mecalac operator technology is user-friendly due to a unique central selector. The operator can switch into road, operating, or parking modes in a single movement rather than having to go through several steps.

All Mecalac MWR machines feature the 360-degree ISO stability, which means machine stability remains the same regardless of the rotation angle of the upper carriage. All MWR machines are equipped with all-wheel steering, allowing operators to practically turn on the spot, the manufacturer said.

The Mecalac unique multi-segmented boom configuration allows the machine to have reach combined with lifting power that’s never before been seen in a machine its size, the manufacturer added.

North America and is finding that resistance to the concept is lessening.

“Municipalities are opting to purchase wheeled excavators to accomplish their excavating needs because it is so much easier to drive a wheeled excavator that is capable of speeds over 20 miles an hour to the site than it is to deal with all of the hassle of loading, transporting and unloading a

attachments like a set of forks and a sweeper.

“When we work on a project with a large footprint like an airport, the Mecalac becomes a huge timesaver. We are able to quickly dispatch the machine when we have to move from one end of the site to the other at 2025 miles per hour. The hydraulic flow is extraordinary, much better than any skid steer we have ever owned or any excavator in the same size category. Among other things, that hydraulic flow converts to great hydraulic attachment performance.”

Kobo Utility is equally pleased with its dealer, Lorusso Heavy Equipment.

“Lorusso has done an astounding job supporting us, and very importantly, as we have moved our fleet all across the country, we have found that the other Mecalac dealers are equally supportive. The technicians are prop-

erly trained and typically the parts are in inventory.”

Canonica Land Works Canonica Land Works based in Chelsea, Vt., specializes in landbased excavation work such as stone wall construction, trail maintenance and stream reconstruction. The company currently uses a Mecalac 11MWR weighing 24,000 lbs., but this was not its first Mecalac purchase.

Eight years ago, Ben Canonica purchased the first Mecalac 10MCR multi-function excavator that was brought into the United States from Europe. The Mecalac 10MCR, which is actually a hybrid combination of an excavator and compact track loader met their needs. “There obviously would not have been a second purchase unless the original purchase of the 10MCR had gone well,” Canonica said.

Canonica Land Works is involved in a lot of environmental-

ly sensitive work, much of it in the Vermont countryside. A few years ago, it became evident that an invasive species from Asia called the “emerald ash borer” was settling into the woods of Vermont and doing massive tree damage, which would result in the necessity to have thousands of ash trees removed, many of them along the roadside. This led Canonica to the conclusion that he would be well situated to be hired for that type of work if he purchased a compact wheeled excavator.

Canonica Land Works also does a lot of work on gravel roads and dirt trails where a rubber-tired machine would do less damage to the road surface.

From his previous experience with the Mecalac 10MCR, he had a very high degree of confidence in the technology and the product support that comes along with buying the Mecalac product.

According to Canonica, “Everything about working with

the Mecalac machines is innovative, but the one thing that probably stands out the most to me is the unique design of their threepiece multi-segmented boom. It allows you to dramatically increase your lifting capacity and digging flexibility by bringing the main boom back next to the cab.

“You can almost raise and lower the load like a forklift with the intermediate boom. You can also position the boom to work around obstacles or under obstacles, but what really stands out the most is the lifting capacity.”

Canonica had an immediate need that gave him an opportunity to rent a Mecalac 11MWR for a few months to make sure it was going to meet his expectations: he needed to do some riverbed restoration work from severe flooding that had happened locally and to access the site, he needed to traverse some agricultural areas and get in and out of the see CONTRACTOR page 52

Low Center of Gravity Enhances Machine’s Stability EXCAVATOR from page 46

tracked machine.

“Some people would argue that you can accomplish much the same task with a tractor loader backhoe.

However, there are some distinct advantages that the Mecalac MWR has over a tractor loader backhoe. Try driving 20 to 25 miles an hour down the road with a tractor loader backhoe. The machine becomes almost impossible to handle.

“Once you get to the site, you have to deploy your downriggers and they take up a lot of real estate. The fact that the boom is center-mounted becomes a major issue from a visibility standpoint. Operators must constantly look around the boom to see what they are digging. And with the backhoe, you can only swing 180 degrees left and right. If you’re picking up a load of material, your truck has to be beside you or in front of you and you have to be able to reach out long enough to get the cast of material into the truck and that’s not necessarily always an option. With our wheeled machine, the truck can be just about anywhere, even behind the excavator and receive a load. It adds an awful lot of flexibility to the site.”

The loader aspect of a tractor loader backhoe is very impractical, Andrews added.

“The loader capacity is a yard and a quarter to a yard and a half. Every time you pick up a load, the operator has to be very conscious of that whole backhoe that’s behind him or her, which can be very cumbersome. The tractor loader backhoe original design was a farm tractor with a loader attachment and a backhoe attachment put on a machine that was really built for pulling, not digging.”

Ultimately, Andrews said, with a wheeled excavator with 360-degree continuous slew, operators can load more quickly, more efficiently and take up less space on a job site, which is exactly why more and more contractors are finding high value in using Mecalac equipment.

The Mecalac 9MWR easily handles concrete barriers.

Kobo Utility finds that its Mecalac MWR easily handles some of the heaviest of attachments, including this Power-Vac vacuum attachment.

One of the biggest attractions to the compact wheel loader is its ease of transportation, whether it be the small footprint it has on your trailer or the ease of driving it down the road to the next job site.

Kobo Utility uses its Mecalac wheeled excavators just as commonly as skid steers and telehandlers.

Wheels Give Operators Substantially More Comfortable Ride CONTRACTOR from page 46

river area doing as little damage as possible.

“Everything about the machine impressed me. It was exactly what I would expect from a Mecalac.

Very stable, good maneuverability and as I had hoped, very little impact on the land surfaces that the machine traversed as long as we were in reasonably dry conditions.”

At the end of the rental period, Canonica pulled the trigger on the purchase.

The attachments for his 11MWR were virtually interchangeable with his Mecalac 10MCR, which included an Engcon tiltrotator, a digging bucket, a ripper, a sorting

grapple, a Rotastar screening bucket, a GMK multi-grab, a GMK tree shear, a Shearex mulcher and a Rammer plate compactor. After the purchase of the Mecalac 11MCR, the predicted ash borer work and related tree removal came to fruition, some of which occurred on extremely hot days, which would have made the asphalt particularly susceptible to surface damage.

Canonica also started using the Mecalac for tree removal in the forest, where he found the machine to be particularly adept.

“The four-wheel steering gives great maneuverability; you really notice it in tight spaces. The other thing you notice with the wheeled

machine versus the tracked machine is that the wheels give you a substantially more comfortable ride.”

Canonica wasn’t sure if he would keep his Mecalac 10MCR after the purchase of the Mecalac 11MWR, but in the end analysis, he found that certain applications were more desirable for a tracked machine, while others called for the wheeled machine. Keeping both just made sense.

“This year we did a lot of stonework with the wheeled machine. A lot of projects were right at the end of homeowner’s driveways and gravel roads, so often we were set up right on the hard road or the property

owner’s property. It was very noticeable how quick and comfortable the machine was and that we weren’t tearing up any surface area at all.

“We are in a very rural area, so it’s not often that I get the benefit of driving the machine from project to project and eliminating the hauling process. But, when we can, it’s certainly nice to take advantage of that. I do appreciate how compact the machine is and it’s great to be able to load up the excavator and all of our attachments into a single load.”  CEG (All photographs in this article are Copyright 2023 Construction Equipment Guide.

Bobcat Company Expands Its Lineup

By Adding E40 Compact Excavator Bobcat Company has expanded its lineup of compact excavators to include the newly released Bobcat E40.

As part of the lineup expansion, Bobcat also has revised the model numbers for its 3-to-5-ton excavator lineup to more closely align with the industry’s size class.

With the E40, operators get high performance, fast cycle times and optimal maneuverability with practical features and pricing to match, according to the manufacturer. It’s a minimal tail swing excavator, with less than 2 in. of overhang and a standard long arm.

The E40’s lift capacity is among the best in its class, according to Bobcat.

The manufacturer added that the E40 delivers an over-the-blade lift capacity and over-the-side lift capacity that is usually only achieved with conventional tail swing models.

The E40 offers premium performance with simplified option packages for base-level pricing. Features of the new E40 include: • Powerful non-DPF, turbocharged Bobcat engine • Standard long arm • High lift capacity and powerful slewing performance • Dual-flange track roller system for improved lift performance and a smoother ride • Standard low-effort joysticks, LED lights and integrated lift eye • Extensive attachment versatility The E40 will be available in late 2023. Bobcat will preview the E40 in

The E40 is a minimal tail swing excavator, with less than 2 in. of overhang and a standard long arm.

booth 3052 at Equip Exposition, Oct. 17 to 20, in Louisville, Ky. Updated Model Numbers With the introduction of the new E40, Bobcat has revised select model numbers in its 3-to-5-ton excavators’ size class to better reflect the machines’ size and performance within the industry.

“Our compact excavator lineup within the 3-to-5-ton size class has grown, and the updated model numbers better reflect the outstanding performance capabilities that empower our customers to accomplish more each and every day,” said Mike Wetzel, director of product development at Bobcat Company.

The Bobcat E50 has been renamed the Bobcat E55.

“The updated portfolio more closely aligns with the excavators’ capabilities when compared to other machines within the same size class.”

The model number changes are as follows: • The 33-hp Bobcat E35 has been renamed the Bobcat E38. This zero tail swing excavator provides for unobstructed rotation while the turbocharged engine and proven Bobcat hydraulics produce the digging, lifting and slewing capabilities you might expect in a larger, less maneuverable compact excavator. The 25-hp Bobcat E35 will retain its model designation.

• The Bobcat E42 has transitioned to the Bobcat E48. The conventional tail swing E48 is a well-balanced machine, delivering the horsepower, precise controls and comfort for increased productivity and first-rate job site results.

• The Bobcat E50 has been renamed the Bobcat E55. A minimal tail swing excavator with less than 1 in. of overhang, the E55 puts more power and controllability in a compact package — all designed to support faster cycle times and take operator productivity to the next level.

With these changes and the launch of the E40, the Bobcat 3-to-5-ton compact excavator lineup now includes: E32, E35, E38, E40, E48 and E55.

Bobcat offers compact and larger excavators ranging from 1-2-ton to 16-18ton size classes, as well as battery-electric excavator models.

Ground Clearance Offers Guidance to Navigating SBA Liens, Avoiding Fraud

By Sue McKee-Neill SPECIAL TO CEG

Remember during the pandemic when we were huddled at home uncertain about the future, the economy and when we could go back to work? The Small Business Administration stepped in and offered dirt cheap loans for 30 years.

It seemed too good to pass up for many. It was nearly free money that wasn’t going to be a burden to pay back.

When we are looking for the bright side of things, we don’t always notice how that might turn on us or how obligated we will become.

Within the papers signed, you authorized the SBA to file a blanket lien — on all of your business assets, all of your equipment and other personal property of your business. That means when you sell any asset, they want to be notified, just like your bank and the line of credit. It doesn’t matter if you used the funding, or it

was used for the asset you are wanting to sell now.

It would have been awesome if they had provided information on what steps you would need to take, who to contact and how much time it would take to get a response, when you want to sell something. Then again, they might have, but in the honeymoon moment of getting the funding, it wasn’t important.

The problem now is people are afraid of contacting the government.

It feels like if asking for a release on one piece, they might take your business. Many sell their assets under their personal name instead of the business name, so the lien is not uncovered. That is fraud. If you purchased under the business name, you must sell under the business name.

There are three offices for the SBA — El Paso, Texas; Birmingham Ala.; and Santa Ana, Calif. If you do an internet search for the office you used, you will find the document you need to fill out and send back along

with a compete UCC search. That’s right, it’s just one page. There will be an email address on the form to send the document and the UCC search. It isn’t that hard.

Still intimidated? We can help.

You still need to fill out the form and an authorization for Ground Clearance to contact the creditor to request a release for the specific asset(s). It will cost $50.00 plus the liens search. Cheaper than the potential price you will pay for defrauding the government.

If you did not use the funding, you can request the lien be terminated.

The lien follows the machine.

Request proof of ownership when purchasing. This can be the bill of sale from the purchase or insurance on the unit. Request a UCC search for both business and personal names.

Drones Proving to Be Indispensible for Site Monitoring TECHNOLOGY from page 1

In construction design and planning applications, AI technology synthesizes information, detects patterns and draws conclusions much like humans. It offers the ability to ramp up and streamline tasks in ways the industry has not been able to achieve up to now.

Analyzing vast amounts of data, the technology offers options that give better information, models and alternatives for making decisions.

“As the construction industry embraces the digital era, AIpowered tools are proving to be transformative,” said Ashi Soni, senior manager, sustainability of Bloom Energy.

She said a wide range of technologies, from drones to autonomous vehicles are reshaping the future of infrastructure development.

“The construction sector can anticipate even more innovative solutions … in the quest to build the roads and bridges of tomorrow.”

Redefining Construction Planning Beginning with drones, Soni noted seven “cutting-edge” AI tools that she said are revolutionizing the infrastructure building process. She believes drones are becoming indispensable in the area of construction site monitoring.

Providing real-time aerial views, the devices are helping project managers assess progress, identify issues and make informed decisions.

“AI algorithms can analyze drone-captured data to detect anomalies, measure stockpile volumes and monitor worker safety, optimizing project management,” she said.

When it comes to precision project planning, machine learning algorithms are impressing infrastructure designers, said Soni.

Used to analyze factors such as historical data, weather patterns, traffic conditions, these algorithms generate accurate construction schedules.

“By predicting potential delays and optimizing resource allocation, machine learning enhances project timelines and minimizes budget overruns,” said Soni.

Autonomous construction vehicles, including heavy machines such as dozers and excavators, navigate construction sites safely and efficiently.

Applying advanced computer vision and sensor technology, these machines increase productivity work continuously without human operators.

The result, said Soni, is reduced labor costs and overall enhanced project speed toward completion.

Smart materials, integrated with AI technology, have the ability to monitor their own structural health, added Soni.

“These materials are embedded with sensors and AI algorithms that can detect signs of wear, damage or stress.”

Real-time monitoring furthers proactive maintenance and prevents potential failures. The result is longer pavement and bridge life.

AI tools can help identify potential risks and provide actionable insights into risk management when used in predictive analytics. Analyzing vast amounts of data, including project history, weather conditions and supplier performance, AI allows project managers to mitigate risks. The result of AI-driven predictive analytics is more resilient and successful construction projects, said Soni.

Augmented reality is changing the way designs are visualized and construction teams are trained, she said. AR applications allow engineers and architects to overlay digital models onto the physical construction site.

These tools enable “a better understanding of spatial relationships and potential clashes,” said Soni. “Additionally, AR is being used for training purposes, providing immersive simulations for construction workers to enhance safety and proficiency.”

Site managers are harnessing a subset of AI for real-time quality control on construction job sites.

Computer vision joins high-resolution cameras and AI algorithms to analyze construction elements such as welding joints and concrete quality, said Soni.

The technology ensures these elements meet specified construction standards to not only improve infrastructure quality.

Computer vision features help reduce the need for manual inspections, saving time and resources, she said.

Projecting Enormous Potential In a New York Times article, Colbi Edmonds wrote that engineers are looking to AI to build more resilient projects for less money.

A consortium is currently at work on two AI projects in partnership with Pennsylvania’s Department of Transportation and its Turnpike Commission.

“These are structures, with the tools that we have, that save materials, save costs, save everything,” said Amir Alavi, University of Pittsburgh engineering professor.

A member of the AI research consortium, Alavi sees enormous potential for more cost effective and creative new approaches to familiar tasks.

“But experts caution against embracing the technology too quickly when it is largely unregulated and its payoffs remain largely unproven,” said Edmonds.

Some in the industry worry about AI’s ability to design infrastructure in a process with regulators and participants operating over a long period of time.

“Others worry that AI’s ability to draw instantly from the entirety of the Internet could lead to flawed data that produces unreliable results,” said Edmonds.

Aging pavement means “infrastructure challenges are significant,” said Abdollah Shafieezadeh, professor at Ohio State University.

The Pennsylvania research showcases the potential AI offers in addressing many of these challenges.

The Pennsylvania DOT will use more durable concrete blocks, that require 20 percent less material, to build a bridge.

The Turnpike Commission is engineering a more efficient noise-absorbing wall that also will capture some of the nitrous oxide emitted from vehicles. The plan is to build it in an area highly affected by highway sound pollution. Alavi noted the designs will save approximately 30 percent of material costs.

These new projects have not been tested in the field, but they have been successful in the lab environment, he said.

Engineers see great potential in AI to prevent and detect damage so that money could be saved in the long run.

Instead of investing large sums of money in repair projects, engineers and transportation agencies could identify problems early on.

This technology is capable of providing an analysis of what is happening in real time and could deploy emergency responses, said Seyede Fatemeh Ghoreishi, a professor at Northeastern University.

“But, as in many fields, there are increasingly more conversations about the relationship between AI, human work

and physical safety,” said Edmonds.

She pointed out that although AI has proved helpful in many uses, tech leaders have testified before Congress, pushing for regulations.

“And … President Biden issued an executive order for a range of AI standards, including safety, privacy and support for workers.”

Edmonds believes experts also are worried about the spread of disinformation from AI systems.

The technology operates by integrating already available data, so if that data is incorrect or biased, the AI will generate faulty conclusions.

“It really is a great tool, but it really is a tool you should use just for a first draft at this point,” said Norma Jean Mattei, a former president of the American Society of Civil Engineers. “Once it develops, I’m confident that we’ll get to a point where you’re less likely to get issues. We’re not there yet.”

Edmonds said there also is concern about the lack of AI standards in the construction industry at present.

“There is rising concern about car crashes involving autonomous vehicles, but for now, automakers do not have to abide by any federal software safety testing regulations.”

Monitoring Structural Health University of Central Florida researchers are at work on inventions that help improve infrastructure health.

“Structural health monitoring is an area of need internationally,” said Necati Catbas, UCF engineering professor.

He believes these new technologies can help track the aging process of civil infrastructure systems.

“By better understanding their conditions, we can anticipate risks and better prioritize infrastructure investments,” he said.

Traditional onsite visual inspection can be both time-consuming and costly, not to mention the hazards posed by aging or damaged structures.

Catbas is leading the AI research that hopes to develop technologies to help alleviate these issues and others.

One invention employs computer vision, which he believes can complement sensors and visual inspection. He said it’s practical because it doesn’t require access structures such as bridges, buildings or towers.

“We can use the camera, and by analyzing the images, we can extract meaningful information about these bridges and buildings.”

Using cameras stationed on or around a structure, the system allows for a safe assessment of a structure’s load-worthiness and serviceability remotely.

The second UCF invention in the works uses VR and AR to analyze structures via “virtual visits.”

VR provides a computer-simulated environment, while AR overlays content onto views of a real-world environment.

“I can virtually be on a damaged bridge in Florida discussing decisions with colleagues who might be in California,” said Catbas.

Like the first invention, the visualization system provides damage detection and load-carrying information about a structure using cameras and sensors.

Other tools such as robots, drones, LiDAR scanners and infrared thermography cameras are also utilized.

The concern, too, is that these technologies will replace humans, eliminating jobs as they streamline construction.  CEG

“When we reach out to new customers, we often get one of two reactions. Firstly, ‘thank you for coming to see us’ because we do go and meet our customers. And ‘tell me more about Yoder & Frey’, as we have been modestly going about our business and doing it well, people sometimes don’t comprehend the size, scale and reach of the organization and the services we can offer.

So, we say to those that haven’t worked with Yoder & Frey, we’re here to support you and help you realize the best price for your assets. Just try us, we think you will be surprised and glad you did. Once customers try Yoder & Frey, they never go back.

“We understand that for customers trying a new auctioneer may be a little like changing your make of motor vehicle. We each become loyal to a brand, reluctant to change and stuck in our choices, perhaps knowing of no alternative. Another reason consumers don’t change is that they have not been introduced to a viable alternative option.

Thinking there is safety in the known. So, is the unknown scary? Is changing difficult?

Not with Yoder & Frey. Come and talk to us at Kissimmee, between the 15th and 17th February 2024, or before, and we think you’ll be surprised,” said Thurston. 
