Political Whirlwind…

Small Oregon Town Frets Over Wind Energy Proposal UNION, Ore. (AP) For decades, not much has changed in the tiny northeastern Oregon town of Union. Nestled in the Grande Ronde Valley, it lies close to the spectacular Eagle Cap Wilderness.

But a Texas company’s proposal to build a wind energy project on the slopes that overlook two sides of town is drawing Union’s 1,900 residents squarely into a clash being played out elsewhere in the West.

Many fear the proposal will mean spoiled views and damage to wildlife habit.

Plans for the $600 million Antelope Ridge Wind Power Project call for 182 turbines to be built across 47,000 acres of privately owned land. With blades fully upright, towers would be as tall as 520 ft. (158 m).

The City Council declared its opposition in December. A hastily formed group papered the town with “Say NO” posters.

With that, the town joined Oregon’s first serious rumblings against wind power, including resistance to projects in the Columbia River Gorge and at Steens Mountain.

Oregonians value both green power and residents’ desire to preserve vistas and wildlife habitat, noted Sue Oliver, a state Department of Energy spokeswoman in Hermiston.

“We are about to have a clash of two things very important to the state of Oregon,” she said.

For years, Oregon has embraced wind energy as a source of renewable energy and jobs. The state has spent tens of millions of dollars as part of its Business Energy Tax Credit program to attract wind developers.

As a result, Oregon now has nearly 1,200 wind turbines on more than a dozen wind farms, producing 1,758 megawatts. That ranks it sixth in the nation in wind-energy production, behind Texas, Iowa, California, Washington and Minnesota, said Christine Real de Azua of the American Wind Energy Association in Washington, D.C. An additional 23 projects, including Antelope Ridge, are far enough along in planning stages to be tracked by the Renewable Northwest Project, a Portlandbased coalition of companies and groups that promotes renewable energy.

Still, organized resistance has been emerging. After Massachusetts-based First Wind sought state permission in 2007 for a 40-turbine project between The Dalles and Mosier, residents protested that the 260-ft. turbines would mar Columbia River Gorge views and endanger migrating birds. First Wind withdrew the plan in January 2009.

In summer 2008, a group called the Blue Mountain Alliance gathered 600 signatures as part of an effort to ban wind turbines on 200,000 acres of northeast Oregon’s Blue Mountains. A few months later, the MiltonFreewater City Council proclaimed its desire to keep turbines out of the town’s viewshed along the west face of the Blues.

Near Boardman, residents are turning to the state’s noise regulations to try to control turbines at the year-old Willow Creek Wind Energy Project. Homeowners said the lowfrequency roar robs them of sleep.

And two groups are trying to block three wind farms planned for the north flank of Steens Mountain in the state’s southeast corner.

Many Union residents worry that the Antelope Ridge project will destroy their serene way of life.

Residents chose to live in Union “because of our surroundings, the richness of the character of the valley,” City Administrator Sandra Patterson said.

Businessman Dennis Wilkinson organized a local opposition group. He said mountainsides bristling with turbines would turn away visitors, hurting a $106 million tourism industry that employs a combined 1,530 workers in Union, Baker and Wallowa

counties.

Residents also worry that turbine noise could damage their health and that turbines will harm habitat for elk, deer, raptors and sage grouse. And they see the project as an intrusion by outsiders.

The developer is Horizon Wind Energy of Houston, a subsidiary of EDP Renovaveis of Portugal.

Arlo Corwin, Horizon’s director of development, isn’t fazed.

He said the project would bring 165 jobs to Union County during nine to 12 months of construction, which could start as early as next year. After that, the wind farm would employ 20 maintenance workers and fuel 32 related jobs, Corwin said, and dramatically boost the county’s tax base. At 300 megawatts, it would produce enough power for about 90,000 homes.

“This is an important project to the county and local economic development,” he said. “It’s also an important project for wind energy in Oregon.”

The Oregonian said the project doesn’t need city or county approval. As with all proposed wind farms of 105 megawatts or more, Antelope is being evaluated by the state-level Energy Facility Siting Council.

Las Vegas Residents Anxiously Awaiting Hawaiian Road Word on I-15 Widening, Leaving Property Plans Use $126M LAS VEGAS (AP) Residents of a Las Vegas neighborhood are anxiously waiting to find out when their homes will be bulldozed to make room for a wider Interstate 15.

Eventually, the project to widen 3.7 mi. (6 km) from Sahara Avenue to the Spaghetti Bowl is expected to squeeze out 345 homes and 445 commercial properties.

But funding for the $1.8 billion project has been delayed — and so has the decision about when people will have to get out of their homes and businesses.

That uncertainty has some residents frustrated, especially as market prices fluctuate, which could affect how much the government eventually pays out.

Ray and Nina McKinley have lived in the area since 1994. Ray McKinley, a retired union electrician, said knowing they will be forced to sell is hard enough. Not knowing when makes it all the more difficult.

“I’d like to stay, but since I know it’s going to come, I want to just get out and look for something else,” he said.

Neighbor Greg Clemensen said the longer the wait, the better.

“It’s probably inevitable that we’re going to have to move at some point, but we don’t really want to,” Clemensen said. “My concern is that the government will not give a fair price for the home. What’s fair to them might not be fair to me.”

The prospect of the government buying up your property can

sometimes be intimidating, said Carol Lamb, the state transportation department’s supervisor for right-of-way acquisition in Southern Nevada.

“You have families who have lived in their houses for years.

They raised their kids there, they expected to retire there, and here we come and disrupt their lives,” she said. “But they move into, a lot of time, nicer properties or properties that more accommodate their current needs, and then they build new memories. So in most cases it turns out to be a betterment for them.”

Federal law requires the state to pay owners the fair-market value of the property and move them to a comparable property.

The state must pay for the move and certain other expenses.

“I’ve been doing this for 15 years. To date I have not had one person that a year after it’s done has not been happy with the way it turned out,” Lamb said.

State transportation officials hope to begin some of the work next year but are unable to provide solid time frames for when specific areas will be affected.

Dan McMartin, deputy manager for the widening project, said he and other state transportation officials are aware of property owners’ anxieties.

“It’s actually cooking right along, though,” he said of the project. “I know everyone doesn’t think that, but this is the normal process on a project of this size.”

in Federal Funds HONOLULU (AP) The state and Hawaii’s four counties have obligated nearly $126 million in federal stimulus funds for highway improvement projects.

The state Department of Transportation said the money is being used for 23 road projects, all of which are currently under way.

The Feb. 26 announcement came less than a year after the DOT submitted the list of 17 projects to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds.

DOT Director Brennon Morioka said getting 100 percent of the funds into Hawaii’s economy and starting 23 road projects statewide reflect an unprecedented amount of collaboration and teamwork among the state, federal agencies and counties.

Crews Upgrade Syracuse City Roadway, Top to Bottom on the utility work,” said Geneva Rock Products’ manager of the project, Shane Albrecht.

Phase II began in June of 2009 and is scheduled to be completed in June 2010. It includes the remainder of utility work and road widening and paving, plus finish work such as decorative crosswalks; curbs, gutters and sidewalks; signals; landscaping and lighting.

At present, the south half of the roadway is constructed.

“We’re currently working on the north half, to install remaining underground utilities and prepping for paving, as soon as the weather breaks,” said Albrecht.

Although weather is usually a consideration on highway projects, in this case it is particularly important that the paving portion of the project go smoothly because the project timeline is already tight.

“We’ve had our share of challenges throughout the job, from the start to where we are currently,” said Albrecht.

These challenges center around several utility companies that have facilities that run through the job corridor: Rocky Mountain Power, Questar Gas, and a Qwest fiber optic vault that is costing UDOT approximately $1 million to relocate. The fiber optic relocation requires splicing at two intersections of the Syracuse Road project, at Allison Way and at 2000 West.

It’s a large undertaking, according to Albrecht.

“It’s the main fiber optic line they have through Syracuse City … there’s quite a bit of time involved in splicing the fiber.”

The project was separated into two phases.

Now finished, Phase I included demolition of 20 properties.

“Right of way was a tremendous part of the project,” stated UDOT Project Manager Nathan Peterson.

Although the demolition work was the most visible item of Phase I, major work on culinary water services, storm drain improvements and irrigation water lines constituted an even more significant portion of the project.

“The city wanted to upgrade their existing utilities prior to construction of the roadway, so that was [the reason for] the major push

get the utility companies to come to the table and understand the magnitude of the project.”

Referring to the utility relocation process, Albrecht said, “We’re doing everything in our power to coordinate, encourage, pressure — whatever we can to keep them focused. But it’s largely out of our control.”

As of late February, Geneva Rock Products was still on schedule to meet its contractual completion date of June 30. It remains to be seen if utility relocation will delay the project.

On the other hand, a fairly experimental

aspect of the project has gone very well. The Syracuse Road project was awarded to Geneva Rock Products as a Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC) contract. It’s a relatively new approach for UDOT. “We’re testing the delivery method to see if there’s value to it,” said Peterson.

In this case the contractor is brought on during the last phase of design, allowing the contractor to provide feedback to the designers to help with the constructability of the design. Feedback during this stage see SYRACUSE page 16

Jobs Well Done…

Utah’s Wadsworth Brothers Recieves 2009 AGC Honors The Associated General Contractors of Utah has honored Wadsworth Brothers Construction of Draper, Utah, with two awards: 2009 Bridge Construction Project of the Year and 2009 Partnered Project Award.

Wadsworth Brothers received the 2009 Bridge Construction Project of the Year for its work on the I-84 Weber Canyon Road Asphalt Pavement Rehabilitation Project.

Never before in Utah or possibly the United States has such a large pre-cast full deck panel replacement project been undertaken in such a narrow, no access canyon, infamous for its short summer season.

The project also required the re-design of the original retaining barrier and a more aesthetically pleasing wall pattern to complement the beautiful scenery of Weber Canyon.

The 2009 Best Partnered Project Award was presented to Wadsworth Brothers and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) for its work on the Southern

New I-580 Freeway to Face Windswept Conditions in Nev. WINDY from page 1

when gusts are strongest.

Among the questions being asked is whether the state should continue its current practice of diverting trucks and other high-profile vehicles west onto Old 395 when the newer freeway in the valley’s center is closed by high winds.

The issue is given added importance with the construction of the new Interstate 580 freeway linking Mount Rose Highway to Washoe Valley, which will face the same wind problems as the existing U.S. 395.

“I’m very concerned about wind issues,” said Thor Dyson, Nevada Department of Transportation district engineer. “Have we been doing business correctly? It’s basically totally relooking at ourselves.”

Some residents living along Old 395, also known as Bowers Mansion Road, question the logic of diverting truck traffic onto the two-lane road when the freeway is closed.

“The danger is just as bad, if not worse, on a two-lane road,” said area resident Cliff Low. “If there is a threshold at which there is a danger on the freeway, there is at least an equal if not greater danger there as well.”

Passenger cars have much less room to get out of the way of a truck on Old 395, Low said. And trucks could smash into homes that line the road.

“It’s a safety issue for the residents,” said Jane Countryman, a member of the West Washoe Valley Citizens Advisory Board. “We want the same standards on Old 395 as on the freeway. If it’s too hazardous to be driving on the

freeway, it’s also too hazardous to be driving there.”

The point is not lost on Dyson. Since 1994, 28 high-profile vehicles have crashed in Washoe Valley during severe wind events, NDOT reported. Nineteen of those accidents occurred on the freeway, but nine happened along the alternate route.

“Trucks in recent years have been flipping there too,” Dyson said. “In some cases, it may actually be more windy there.”

Consultants installed wind-measuring devices on Old 395 this winter and will use the data to supplement information obtained from a permanent weather station on the freeway.

Public safety is the main concern behind NDOT’s new wind study, but there are other important issues in play, Dyson said.

When a particularly strong windstorm in February 2009 flipped trucks over along both roads, both were closed. That decision, he said, “caused a lot of consternation” within the trucking and building industries.

That’s because options are few. Eastlake Boulevard, which rings the east side of Washoe Valley, is county-owned and closed to big trucks. The only other choice is a roughly 100-mile loop back through Reno, Fernley and around to Carson City.

“It’s a real problem for them. Time is money for them,” Dyson said.

While local truckers generally obey closures, the cost of detours is sufficient that drivers for some national trucking companies would rather risk tickets costing up to $190 than

take the long way around, said trooper Chuck Allen of the Nevada Highway Patrol.

Few truck drivers want to risk their vehicles and loads, their own safety or the safety of other motorists by driving in conditions too windy, said Paul Enos, chief executive officer of the Nevada Motor Transport Association.

In the end, “it’s incumbent on the driver to make sure they can safely navigate” through whatever conditions they face, Enos said.

That said, any policy by NDOT to close direct routes between Reno and Carson City to trucks during high-wind events comes with potential problems, Enos said.

“Anything that impacts the operation of trucks, where they can or cannot go, is serious,” Enos said. “There will absolutely be an economic impact. And ultimately, any economic impact does hit the consumer.”

Buzz Harris, assistant executive director of the Nevada chapter of the Associated General Contractors, said the ability of commercial traffic to pass through Washoe Valley is important for the entire region.

“There should be a way the agency can assist with keeping commerce moving as well as possible,” Harris said.

Recommendations from the ongoing wind study could include changes, either up or down, with wind thresholds affecting high-profile traffic, Dyson said.

“You’ve got to keep goods and services moving,” NDOT spokesman Scott Magruder said. “But safety is the main issue.”

Manufacturer Proposes Using Mesquite to Power Plants WOOD from page 1

other sources, he said.

“Wind is only going to be an auxiliary source of power,” he said. “It will never be a primary energy source. We will always need other sources of power.”

Texas Tech University professor Michael Farmer, an expert in environmental and land management in the College of Agricultural and Natural Resources, said Hill “has got a neat idea” to use mesquite to power plants and generate electricity.

“It’s an interesting idea because mesquite is an agricultural waste product, in that it’s a nuisance for landowners,” Farmer said.

“Even if you couldn’t get it to pencil out because the cost to harvest it would be more than its energy value, it might put it over the top because the negative effects of mesquite on the land have a value too.”

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy spends millions of dollars a year researching and funding projects on using biomass for alternative fuels, such as ethanol and biodiesel. But using biomass to generate electricity has only recently attracted much attention.

Beginning in the mid-1990s, Hill’s company — APT Advanced Trailer & Equipment — started selling specially made

trailers to the peanut industry in West Texas so farmers could dry their product faster.

The trailers, which are the same basic frame as an 18-wheeler would carry, have a dryer that shoots heat under the floor and dramatically reduces the time needed to get the right moisture mix in peanuts.

It wasn’t long before he was building hundreds of trailers a year for farmers in West Texas and the Southeast. Because most of his market is in the Southeast, his manufacturing facility is in Georgia.

“It was hard for us to look at other uses besides peanuts because we were so busy,” he said.

But about two years ago, as demand for the trailers began to lessen, Hill started investigating other possibilities for his drying trailers. Biomass is where his attention landed.

“I knew it would work,” Hill said. “I just didn’t know how long it would take and at what temperature to achieve the maximum efficiency.”

Using biomass is not always the most efficient process, although most experts said it is far more environmentally friendly and cheaper than coal or natural gas. Burning wood, for instance, does release pollutants but not nearly as many as burning coal.

Burning biomass also reduces the amount of

material that has to go to a landfill.

Tons and tons of wood scrap are needed on hand for a boiler or power plant. The transportation to move it from place to place is more expensive than the loads of scrap the trucks are carrying. In the winter, the wood is stacked in the cold and wet of Idaho or New Hampshire until it is needed, which means it absorbs a great deal of moisture.

Wood with a high moisture content burns inefficiently, meaning more is needed and more carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere. That’s where Hill believes his trailers work.

He persuaded the University of Idaho, which uses a wood-burning plant to provide heat and air conditioning to its campus, to try the trailers.

Darin Saul, the sustainability director for the university, said his preliminary results demonstrated that using the trailers to reduce moisture by just 20 percent doubled the amount of energy the plant produced. It took about two days to dry the wood to its optimum moisture content, Saul said.

“The trial was quite promising, and we are interested in moving ahead to the next step in the feasibility analysis before actually installing a system,” Saul said. “The potential benefits are that the drying system will increase the amount of usable energy from

burning wood, saving fuel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions associated with our operation.”

But using natural gas or propane to power a dryer costs money, and that starts to defeat the purpose of using them in the first place.

“If a load of biomass is worth $1,000, you can’t afford to spend $400 drying it,” Hill said.

So he landed on another idea: Use the excess heat from a power plant’s exhaust to dry the wood chips, which is what the University of Idaho did.

“You’re recycling the free heat to create the product that in turns goes back into the plant,” Hill said.

Other universities are quickly jumping into Hill’s research.

North Carolina State University has applied for a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to use the biomass for its campus power plants, and Hill has offered the free use of trailers for Iowa State University officials to see whether the same process works to dry “corn stover,” the leaves and stalks left after harvest.

Hill also has met with Farmer and others from Texas Tech about researching whether mesquite could be dried similarly and used to power a plant in Texas. see WOOD page 16

Myriad Utility Firms Involved in Utah Roadway Project SYRACUSE from page 10

An excavator digs a trench for new sewer lines; utility work is a major aspect of UDOT’s Syracuse Road project.

serves to shorten the schedule and save on the budget.

This isn’t the first CM/GC contract for Orem-based Geneva Rock Products, a 56-year-old company and subsidiary of Clyde Companies Inc. It is, however, Albrecht’s first run at managing a CM/GC contract.

“Our company has been involved in a few of these, but they are still relatively new to the state and the area” he said.

Having the contractor on board during the pre-construction stage allowed UDOT to save approximately $800,000 on the paving portion of the Syracuse Road project.

The original RFP called for an expensive asphalt roadway consisting of geogrid, asphalt-treated sub-base, HMA, and a bonded wearing course. Geneva Rock Products offered an alternative solution utilizing concrete pavement that

not only cut costs for the client, but also increased the pavement life expectancy from 20 to 40 years.

“For the owner, it’s win-win: save money and get a longer-lasting, more durable pavement,” stated Peterson.

“Our company does both, asphalt and [concrete] pavement, so we didn’t have an agenda one way or another,” said Albrecht, who added that Geneva Rock Products’ fleet includes Blaw-Knox, Caterpillar and Gomaco pavers.

In addition to the Gomaco paver, equipment used on the Syracuse Road project included Caterpillar excavators, ranging from 305 to 330 “and all sizes in between,” according to Albrecht, plus a Caterpillar 14H grader controlled with GPS equipment. The contractor’s trucking fleet is made up primarily of Ford vehicles.

Initial concerns about noise from the paving process were addressed by choos-

ing an Astro-turf drag texturing technique known for being one of the quietest options for concrete.

Aside from utility relocation issues, the project is apparently going well for all concerned. Peterson said that Syracuse City has been “a great partner” and Albrecht said that public response to the project has been very positive.

The community’s response to this project is probably more important to Albrecht than it might be otherwise, because he lives in Syracuse City. He explained that Syracuse Road is both the main entry to Syracuse City and the access point to Antelope Island State Park.

“This project is really at the heart of Syracuse City,” said Albrecht.

“There is a huge opportunity for mesquite in Texas — huge,” Hill said. “Just think of the implications from a ranch management standpoint.

Think of the impact on the water table in West Texas because mesquite sucks a ton of water.”

Farmer said he thinks the trailers might even be better drying grasses and agricultural stubble from crops such as wheat, all of which have a higher moisture content than wood.

Using the trailers to dry a product while simultaneously delivering it to a power plant where it’s ready for immediate consumption would be a significant development in making renewable energy able to meet peak electricity demand, he said.

“One of the reasons we don’t have a plant dedicated to it yet is that most places have set up bioelectricity production as an afterthought,” he said.

“Can we think of this as a separate economic activity and try to run a power plant that meets peak hours? Very few renewable energy sources meet peak electricity demands. Wind isn’t doing it, at least right now.”

Developing more biomass power plants would not eliminate the need for coal-fire plants, but it might mean that “lots of little sources” using biomass might mean the coal plants wouldn’t necessarily need to expand, he said.

“The long-term environmental impact of that alone is quite substantial,” he said.

Parker Lane Directional Drilling Grows Pipeline Market Brent Lane and his business partner, Steve Parker, have witnessed the ups and downs of the horizontal directional drilling business. The friends started Parker Lane Directional Drilling in 1998 and began working on fiber projects in the Fort Worth, Texas, area. When the fiber industry went bust, Parker and Lane did everything they could think of to survive two incredibly lean years.

“I guess we got in the directional drilling business at the right time and that helped to establish our company,” said Lane. “A lot of contractors went bankrupt because they only focused on one area of fiber installation. We had the equipment and expertise to handle any fiber project and that fueled our transition into the pipeline market.”

For two years, Parker Lane just broke even, allowing it to retain all of its employees and cover its equipment payments.

When the fiber to the premise work started back up, Parker Lane was back in business, but at substantially lower rates than before.

“You can’t drill sandstone in Fort Worth for $5 to $7 a foot,” said Lane. “Our Vermeer dealer encouraged us to explore the pipeline market with the recent expansion of the Barnett Shale natural gas fields. I spent a week driving every county road on the map outside of Fort Worth looking for pipeline projects. If I saw an excavator or a stake in the ground or truck I didn’t recognize, I stopped and gave them my business card.”

Soon the cold calling paid off and Lane received a call from a pipeline contractor. The partners first started working on some small pipeline projects for Mastec and Quanta Services and were consistently called back for additional work. So the partners abandoned the fiber projects and transitioned to pipeline installations.

“We started out installing 6- and 8-inch gathering and distribution lines, then it bumped up to 10- and 12-inch and now it’s either 16- or 24-inch,” said Lane. “We had to turn down projects worth millions of dollars because we didn’t have a drill rig large enough to handle the 24-inch diameter pipe.”

Parker Lane made the decision to purchase a Vermeer D330x500 Navigator horizontal directional drill (HDD) to help it get more of the larger-diameter and longer-length bore projects. Lane realized he was walking into new territory.

That’s when he turned to a respected bore guidance expert to help the company.

“We’ve worked with Jason Kowalewski in the past and he helped us with our wire line bore guidance,” Lane said. “I told him we purchased a maxi-rig and needed his experience and expertise since this was our first entry into long bores.

He joined our company the week the D330x500 arrived.”

Longest Bore for Company With only three projects under its belt using the D330x500, Parker Lane won a bid to install 5,850 ft. (1,783 m) of 8-in. (20.3 cm) steel pipeline for XTO Energy, one of the nation’s largest independent oil and gas producers near Crowley, Texas. The line was to be used to transport natural gas and became the longest bore Parker Lane had attempted with the new drill rig.

Kowalewski and Lane began developing the bore plan for the project and created a number of scenarios based on the project requirements. The 5,850-foot bore would pass under an environmentally sensitive area, a private learn-to-fly airport on the south edge of Fort Worth, and a city street on the north side of the airport property. The team also needed to minimize the potential for frac outs, especially in the environmentally-sensitive areas, so the bore had to be designed to minimize that possibility. The length of the bore also was a concern.

“We discussed completing the bore all in one shot, but we knew once we hit the 4000-foot mark it was going to be like pushing a wet noodle through the ground and would take considerable time to complete the last 2,000 feet,” said Kowalewski.

Other concerns also arose. The drill stem Lane planned to use was a smaller diameter than what Kowalewski preferred, but this was only their fourth large-diameter, long-range bore, and money was tight, so purchasing a new set of drill stem wasn’t an option. The team also had to take into account the depth of the rock shale ground conditions in the Fort Worth area. This meant they would need to bore at a depth of 60 ft. (18.3 m) or more to find ground conditions that were suitable.

“We ended up using a 6.5-inch mud motor with a 9.875inch mill tooth for the pilot bore,” said Kowalewski.

The drill rig was positioned 800 ft. (243.8 m) from the south edge of the airport property with the intention of completing the bore in one shot. Smokey Barron, drill operator, began the bore and had just reached 100 ft. (30.5 m) when a frac-out occurred. The hole was push-reamed to open the hole so they could use the same hole as the frac out. Barron lost mud flow several times in the first 1,000 ft. (304.8 m) and the trip and push ream process was very time consuming.

The ground conditions at 60 ft. (18.3 m) were hard and choppy, so Barron bored down to 80 ft. (24.4 m) without

much improvement. Once they got below the 80-ft. mark, the ground conditions started to thin out and production started to increase. However, around the 3,000-ft. (914.4 m) point into the bore they reached a depth near 97 ft. (29.6 m) and mud flow became an issue.

“We had crew members surrounding the airport looking for frac-outs,” said Lane. “But it was obvious we wouldn’t be able to complete the bore in one shot. So we modified our plan and decided to intersect the bore.”

Time to Intersect The initial pilot bore was stopped at around 3,200 ft.

(975.4 m) and an 18-in. (45.7 cm) push reamer was used to ream the pilot bore hole.

“We only needed a 12-inch hole to pull the pipe in, but decided an 18-inch hole would provide a larger target for the intersect,” Kowalewski said. “Once the ream was completed the equipment was moved to the north side of the airport.”

The second stage of the bore was problem-free, and everything was matching up perfectly until they were 100 ft. out from the intersect.

“We wanted to slope in from the top and overlap the first bore by 50 feet and then just drop in, but we didn’t realize there was a rock shelf separating us from the target,” said Lane. “We bounced off the rock shelf.”

The drill head hesitated for about 100 ft. until it finally bit and began dropping, but was 12 to 18 in. (30.5 to 45.7 cm) left of the target. Barron leveled the bore up and made another run at the target coming straight up. This attempt worked, but resulted in an overlap of 300 ft. The second pilot bore hole was reamed and the 8-in. pipe was pulled into place.

Overall the project took 24 working days to complete.

Project Builds Character Looking back the company has learned a lot and takes pride in this project.

“This was our fourth bore with the Vermeer D330x500 HDD and we went over the mile mark and completed an intersect bore,” said Lane. “Not many people even attempt an intersect bore or get over the mile mark in their lifetime.”

The tough times of the early 2000s have proven to Lane and Parker that perseverance and patience pays off.

“We’ve made it through the tough times and know what we need to do to be successful,” said Lane. “We’re also not afraid to take a chance and that’s the attitude contractors need to have in this industry.”

Wadsworth Brothers Selected to Construct Slate Creek Bridge The Idaho Transportation Department has selected Wadsworth Brothers Construction to reconstruct the Slate Creek Bridge on State Road 75 over the Salmon River at milepost 213. The bridge site is located approximately 9 mi.

(14.5 km) west of Clayton, Idaho. Construction is slated to begin in May 2010.

The original bridge was erected in 1938 and is vital to east-west travel between Stanley and Challis, Idaho. The bridge showed signs of deterioration and was recommended for replacement.

The new Slate Creek Bridge will be constructed 38 ft.

(11.6 m) upstream, adjacent to the current bridge. It will be a 450-ft. (137 m) long, three-span structure with two piers

located at the water’s edge during normal summer flows.

The new bridge will be wider and although it has a railing, motorist will still be able to view the river.

Construction is anticipated to occur over a two-year period, with traffic continuing across the old bridge until the new bridge is completed. The entrance to Slate Creek Road will be moved and realigned accordingly. Access over the bridge may be greatly restricted and temporary road closures may be necessary.

Wadsworth Brothers Construction has received national recognition for innovative design and construction projects.

Notable bridge projects include: The Eccles Legacy Pedestrian Bridge at the University of Utah, the only cable-

stay bridge in the state; The Hurricane Arch Bridge spanning the Virgin River near Hurricane, Utah; and The Lego Bridges Project on I-215 in Salt Lake City.

The company currently is building a $38.5 million dollar contract for Utah Department of Transportation that will construct two 1,022 ft. (311 m) concrete segmental bridges over the Colorado River in Moab, Utah.

Wadsworth Brothers was founded in 1991. The company has three different divisions including: heavy highway/bridge and structures division; building division (vertical parking structures); and a pre-cast division.

Wadsworth Brothers employs more than 200 employees.

Kirby-Smith Paving Seminars Enhance Customer Support Kirby-Smith Machinery Inc., the Wirtgen, Vogele, Hamm, Broce Broom, Rosco and LeeBoy dealer for Oklahoma and North Texas, sponsored two paving seminars on March 2 and 4, 2010.

The first seminar was held at the Francis Tuttle Technological Center in Oklahoma City and the second took place at Tulsa Tech in Tulsa, Okla. There were attendees from the Department of Transportation (DOT), turnpike and municipal employees as well as private paving contractors from Oklahoma and Texas.

With 124 attendees at Oklahoma City and 131 in Tulsa, the seminars focused on basic paving techniques along with the latest innovations, research and efficiencies of today’s paving challenges. According to many of the attendees the information was most helpful as a refresher, but more importantly there was a great deal of new information that would help their jobs become more efficient and their finished projects longer lasting.

The first session was presented by Richard Evans, vice president of sales of Hamm compactors. The session started with a history of Hamm and then focused on different types of compaction including the Hamm Oscillatory rollers and the need for proper compaction to help ensure the best project upon completion. Evans also discussed the latest innovations with the Hamm 78 and 84 in. (198 and 213 cm) HD + series of tandem wheel rollers and upcoming new products for greater ease and efficiencies in compaction.

“Hamm has always reinvested in itself and since there has been only one company in Europe to provide roller drums for all the compaction equipment companies, Hamm determined to build its own facility, which allows us to more closely monitor our quality requirements and with our annual 15,000 drum capacity, we do not have to wait for deliveries from a supplier,” stated Evans.

“We have always promoted training on our equipment and despite the present state of the economy, we recently completed a new seven million dollar training facility in Antioch, Tennessee, to supply our customers with new knowledge and proper techniques for compaction and paving at the lowest cost possible.”

L. (Nars) Narsingh, manager of

Commercial Support & Development for Vogele America Inc. conducted the asphalt paving session with information concerning the best practices for the distribution of asphalt, ranging from the principles and evolution of the free floating screed to segregation causes and cures, non-contact continuous paving including proper truck exchange, pick-up machines and material transfer vehicles. His talk also included techniques to prevent tunneling of the materials and what to look for when this happens. Nars concluded his presentation with proper maintenance procedures and a machine walk-around.

The Wirtgen products used in recycling of existing asphalt were discussed by Jim

Holland Jr., district manager, Witrgen Group and included recycling binding agents, foamed bitumen, emulsion sprays, cement treated base (CTB), roller compacted concrete (RCC) and fly ash/lime.

The VT LeeBoy section was presented by Mark Odom, regional service manager and concentrated on distribution of materials using the proper calibration of the distributor trucks, economies of mixing products and testing prior to proceeding with the projects.

Scheduled maintenance of the equipment was discussed in-depth in order to provide the best job possible and ensuring the equipment functioned properly.

Jim Cornelsen, president/sales and marketing of Broce Broom completed the sessions with his presentation. He concentrated on the attributes and efficiencies of the Broce Broom products for the required clean-up of paving projects. Cornelsen presented videos showing their products in action along with the MK-1 for on-the-go truck loading of excess materials. One of the videos gave a preview of the new innovative MK-1 gutter brush. see SEMINARS page 26

CHAMPION S A L E S & S E RV I C E

It’s time to put a stop to small-time thinking in small graders!

TEXAS

Here’s one way Champion helps you think big for professional results and productivity: ... every Champion Motor Grader is equipped with pedal-operated service brakes supplied by a separate hydraulic pump.

Dual brake circuits ensure balanced braking on both sides of the grader for better control and safety.

We think small graders should offer the same performance as the big guys. If you think like we do, we have a lot more ideas to show you.

EXACTCOMPACT HELPS SPEED COMPACTION BY MONITORING IMPACT SPACING Take a high-frequency Sakai roller and you can speed compaction. With EXACTCOMPACT, you can be sure that you’re rolling at the precise impact spacing.

EXACTCOMPACT is a simple visual monitor: Red = You’re rolling too fast.

Yellow = You’re rolling too slow. Green = You’re right on target to reach density at the fastest possible ground speed. EXACTCOMPACT is standard on mainline Sakai rollers – optional on all others. Put it to work on your next HMA job.

Carroll Pons is the director of heavy equipment operations for Plaquemines Parish, LA. After Hurricane Katrina hit, he knew he’d have a tough time getting his equipment working again to help in the clean-up. But he never expected anything like this. The parish’s Doosan excavator had been submerged in 20 feet of saltwater for two weeks. Part of a roof was stuck in the boom. Though he thought it was a goner, it was worth a try. So Pons called M&L Industries, his Doosan dealer for 10 years. They drained 60 gallons of seawater from the engine compartment and did some minor repairs. Four hours later, our excavator roared to life and headed off to help clean up. Talk about durability! Want to see for yourself what a Doosan can do? Tell us you want a free demo.

Ground Broken on $39M Four-Lane Kaumualii Highway Widening Project PUHI, Hawaii (AP) Ground has been broken on Kauai for a $39 million project to widen Kaumualii Highway from two lanes to four.

The 2-mi. (3.2 km) project offering shorter commute times between Puhi and Lihue is expected to create 400 jobs.

It is slated to take two years to complete.

State Department of Transportation Director Brennon Morioka said March 10 that the wider highway will include

sidewalks and should have more room for bicyclists. He said intersections also will be upgraded and improved along the length of the route.

The DOT is hopeful a second, two-lane bridge inland of the existing Lihue Plantation mill bridge will be under construction before the highway project is completed.

The department said the second bridge will cost between $25 and $30 million.

RENO, Nev. (AP) The state could end up paying nearly $1 million in repairs to fix cracks on a bridge being built as part of a major highway expansion between Reno and Carson City.

Officials for the Nevada Department of Transportation said the safety of the Galena Creek bridge is in no way jeopardized and that construction should be completed by fall of next year.

The cracks are up to 30-ft. (9 m) long and about the width of a dime at the widest point. They were found earlier in March in four areas during testing of metal pipes that help provide internal support for the bridge that spans 1,700 ft. (518 m)-long some 300 ft. (91 m) above Galena Creek south of Reno.

It’s the latest setback in a series of contract disputes and other delays for the 8-mi. (12.9 km)-long highway bypass project that began in 2003 and originally was supposed to be finished last year. When completed, the bridge will be the largest of its kind in the world.

“This is just one of those incidents that can happen on a very large-scale job,” Kent Cooper, NDOT’s assistant director of engineering, told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

“We’re not happy about it, but we think everything will be all right,” he said about the cracks.

Another bridge being built as part of the project, the Galena Forest bridge, is the target of an investigation by federal transportation inspectors based on complaints by a former construction worker who said he was ordered to do substandard concrete work to save money last year.

The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of Inspector General launched the review in January at the request of Reps.

James Oberstar, D-Minn., chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and Peter DeFazio, DOre., chairman of its Subcommittee on Highways and Transit.

The congressmen also asked DOT to evaluate David Lee’s claim that he was fired in retaliation for complaining to state transportation officials about shoddy concrete work on that

bridge further north.

State officials and the California-based contractor, C.C. Myers, deny the claims by David Lee and said they welcome an anticipated visit by experts from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

NDOT Project manager Brad Durski said that could occur in June. He said the affected area on the much larger Galena Creek bridge will be strengthened with reinforcing steel and concrete, and cracks will be filled with epoxy at a cost of up to $900,000.

While the cracks pose no safety threat, Durski said they reveal a design flaw that — if not addressed — could shorten by up to 10 years the life expectancy of the bridge designed to last 100 years.

The bridge was designed in-house by NDOT’s own engineers. Because the problem had nothing to do with the contractor’s work or materials, the state will pick up the tab for repairs.

The cracks were discovered March 5 when a project subcontractor was conducting air pressure testing of “post tensioning ducts” that help support the structure where the bridge deck meets its supporting arch, Durski said.

“No one wants this sort of thing to happen,” he said. “We just want to get it fixed and get it done right and keep going.”

The Galena Creek bridge has been the focus of controversy for years. A previous contractor, Wisconsin-based Edward Kraemer and Sons, halted construction of the bridge in 2006, citing concern it could collapse in high wind during a particularly vulnerable point in its construction.

NDOT disputed those claims but state officials decided to pay the company $50 million for work already completed. A new contractor, North Dakota-based Fisher Sand and Gravel Co., was awarded a $393.3 million contract to finish the freeway while C.C. Myers handles the bridge construction.

ROMCO Equipment Company Appointed New Certified Kent Hammer Rebuilder ROMCO Equipment Company, has expanded its relationship with the manufacturer and is now a factory certified Kent Hammer rebuild center.

ROMCO, a regional dealer of all sizes of new and used Kent Hammers since 2002, will rebuild hammers both at the local branch level as well as its specialized rebuild center in San Antonio.

“By rebuilding KF12-sized and smaller hammers at the local ROMCO facilities and those KF19-sized and larger in San Antonio we can maintain a faster turnaround without sacrificing the quality of the work,” said ROMCO Product Support Sales Manager J.P. McLain.

“Anytime we can better support one of our products we jump at the opportu-

nity,” said McLain. “These are done by the book with the OEM parts.”

ROMCO is the only factory certified Kent Hammer rebuild option in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Longview, Buffalo, Carmine and Mercedes. ROMCO also is certified to do rebuilds in the greater Houston area.

The distinction means only 100 percent genuine Kent replacement parts and tools will be used in rebuilds and each will be done to factory specifications.

“Kent Hammer rebuilds are not an uncommon investment considering the long life of our tools,” said Alan Stone, regional manager at Kent Hammers.

“The customer base runs from contractors to rental facilities. Anybody looking

to extend their hammer’s life is a candidate.”

“We’ve enjoyed a great relationship with ROMCO over the years and they’re a natural fit as a rebuilder,” said Stone.

“Their familiarity with attachments and the machines they place them on makes a difference.”

ROMCO Equipment Company is a dealer of volvo construction equipment and Hitachi construction and mining equipment with branches in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Longview, Buffalo Carmine and Mercedes.

Storms Compromise Culvert in Southern California

By Jennifer Rupp CEG CORRESPONDENT

Emergency repair is under way on SR-330 in San Bernardino County, California.

During the first week of March, California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) maintenance crews noticed that a culvert under SR 330 near City Creek was severely damaged. Erosion accelerated by recent storms caused the culvert to fail, resulting in a loss of slope integrity. An immediate emergency project was initiated.

Evidence of the failure was seen from both the loss of surface slope material as well as pavement cracking consistent with subsurface erosion. Further investigation revealed that the 11-ft. (3.3 m) diameter culvert pipe positioned under the highway to direct water flow from the high side of the highway to the low side had suffered some abrasive erosion.

The pipe was losing its structural strength and was collapsing. In addition, water flows outside of the culvert resulted in cavities being formed underground.

The department monitored the cracking and determined that the risks to safety were too great.

Caltrans closed off the entire length of SR 330, (15.42 mi. long), on March 16. Traffic to the Running Springs and Big Bear communities was rerouted onto SR-18/SR-38 from the San Bernardino/Redlands area.

J. McLoughlin Engineering Co. Inc. of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. was awarded the $6 million contract. see CULVERT page 44

The loss of surface slope material above the culvert was a red flag for Caltrans maintenance crews that the culvert was in jeopardy.

Cities Not on Track With California High-Speed Rail Plan

By Daisy Nguyen ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER

BUENA PARK, Calif. (AP) Mayor Art Brown spent years pushing for a commuter train station combined with nearby housing in his community. But as townhouses are being finished around the $14 million Metrolink station, he’s facing the prospect that California’s high-speed rail line may plow right through his beloved project.

“The only option they presented to us was either losing the condo units or losing our train station,” Brown said of an engineering presentation to city leaders last year.

That a successful effort to get car-dependent Californians to embrace mass transit could be derailed by another transportation project may strike some as ironic. But it’s also one of the hidden costs — and a potential harbinger of delay — in the ambitious plan that would enable passengers to speed the 430 mi. between Los Angeles and San Francisco in just 2.5 hours.

The conflict is one of many the California High Speed Rail Authority will have to resolve as it races to meet a September 2011 deadline to finish environmental work or risk losing a $2.25 billion federal grant.

“The idea that they would spend millions

for a new station and remove it is a colossal waste of time and money,” said Mark Goldsmith, a resident of the “transit village” next to the Buena Park station.

The first phase of the $43 billion project is planned to span about 520 mi. from San Francisco south to Anaheim by 2020, with extensions northeast to Sacramento and south to San Diego by 2026. The 220 mph trains are projected to carry 41 million riders annually by 2035.

The Buena Park proposal is one of several presented by high-speed rail planners looking into ways to add an electrified track for bullet trains in a crowded rail corridor

that cuts through the region. As envisioned, the segment would carry passengers from Anaheim north to downtown Los Angeles in 20 minutes — a trip that usually take more than an hour in freeway traffic. But making room for the line would require purchasing the right-of-way — and displacing homes and businesses — in eight blue-collar cities along the corridor.

On a section of track bordering the cities of Norwalk and Santa Fe Springs, planners recommend looking into moving a station for Metrolink and Amtrak trains east or north because its current site is on a curve, which see RAIL page 44

New Culvert Pipe, Guardrail Repairs, Erosion Control to Stabilize Hillside CULVERT from page 43

“The project essentially consists of excavating the area down to the existing culvert pipe [approximately 80-ft. below the roadway], replace with new culvert pipe, backfill, compact and then replace the roadway,” stated Caltrans.

“Guardrail repairs, slope stabilization strategies and other erosion control methods will all be part of the effort.”

The new culvert pipe, from a pipe manufacturer in Kentuck, was assembled at the job site to create the new culvert, totaling 226 ft. (68.88 m) in length and 11 ft. (3.35 m) in width.

Crews hope to open the road in approximately three to four weeks for single-lane traffic. The overall project is expected to be complete mid-June of this year.

In a presentation before the City Council of Big Bear Lake on March 22, Caltrans liaison Dennis Green said, “We are going to do everything we can to accelerate the opening of this road —because we know you have a big bike event.”

Green was referring to the Amgen Tour of California which takes place on May 21. While the bike route does not include SR 330, the event does receive approximately 100,000 visitors to the mountain area, according to a report

by KBHR radio station For more information, visit www.caltrans8.info (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.) CEG

Uquipment plugs away at the hillside to remove the old pipe located 80 ft. (24.38 m) below the roadway.

The pipe showed signs of serious erosion and loss of structural strength.

Crews use an Xtreme Manufacturing 1254 telehandler to unload the new culvert pipe sections at the project site.

Current Station, Park-and-Ride Structure Needs Evaluation RAIL from page 43

would force high-speed trains to slow down.

And planners would like for passengers to easily make connections between trains.

But that would mean losing the current station and a park-and-ride structure funded by the two cities.

“The rail lines are already there, parking is already there, your transportation hub is already there and now they say they want to move it and build another one. It just does not make one bit of sense,” said Rep. Grace Napolitano, who represents the area in Congress.

On a section southeast of downtown Los Angeles where freight and passenger train tracks run near a recently widened street and freeway expansion project, planners suggest building an aerial structure for the highspeed rail that could create considerable noise and vibration. In Northern California there is opposition to a plan to run the line

through Peninsula cities to downtown San Francisco instead of along the east side of San Francisco Bay. Officials from the so-called gateway cities south of Los Angeles knew for years that engineers were drafting plans for a highspeed train route, but they became increasingly concerned when the project picked up speed. In 2008, state voters approved the sale of $10 billion in bonds to help build the 800-mile system. Then Congress set aside $8 billion for high-speed rail as part of President Barack Obama’s push to combine stimulus spending on infrastructure with job creation.

In announcing the funding in January, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said California was getting the largest share of the $8 billion because the state had the most advanced plans.

However, local officials said they were not adequately consulted by the high-speed

rail authority and are demanding a thorough review.

Buena Park joined a coalition of gateway cities demanding a chance to evaluate all options and their potential impacts before moving into the environmental review process. The demand for better coordination was recently agreed upon in a memorandum of understanding with the authority.

“We’re not trying to be obstructionist NIMBY types, but it has to make sense to us,” said Ernie Garcia, city manager of Norwalk.

A high-speed rail authority official insists the agency has been communicating with city planning departments since 2005, but that local officials paid little attention until the stimulus funds were approved.

“Because of the momentum we need to basically go back, start from square one to reach out to cities and explain to them where we’re at,” said authority Executive Director

Jeff Barker. “The tone of our process right now is not to tell any city what might happen. It’s to gather their input.”

He said planners were working simultaneously on three other sections of the system, including San Francisco to San Jose, Merced to Fresno and Fresno to Bakersfield in the Central Valley. He said he’s confident at least one of the sections will meet the deadline for the stimulus funds.

“We’re not going to ram any project through for the sake of the deadline,” Barker said. “We’re committed to the process of making sure we build the line right.”

In Buena Park, Mayor Brown still could face his dilemma. But he said that if forced to choose, he would sacrifice the train station where his name is prominent on a plaque marking its opening.

“I would not take the homes away from those people,” he said. “They saved all their lives in some cases to buy a home with good transportation nearby.”

Diesel Model Joins Dingo Compact Utility Loaders Line The Toro Company’s Dingo TX 525 wide track compact utility loader features a 25-hp (18.6 kW) Kubota diesel engine. The TX 525 wide track is an ideal machine for contractors or rental yards looking for a utility loader that delivers more torque for increased pulling and digging force when using attachments in aggressive or rocky conditions.

Compared to other Dingo models, the TX 525 wide track diesel unit offers extra torque, longer engine life, and increased hydraulic flow for enhanced performance of ground-engaging attachments. With it, landscape professionals can maximize manpower, minimize hand labor and finish jobs faster. The model is compatible with Toro’s 35-plus compact utility loader attachments — making it well suited for applications such as installing irrigation systems, preparing seedbeds, material hauling and handling, constructing decks and fences, tree planting, demolishing structures and pond building, according to the manufacturer.

In addition to the added power it delivers, the TX 525 represents a convenient choice for operators who currently utilize all dieselpowered equipment and prefer to expand their fleet with the same fueled machine.

“We hope our customers agree that the

new TX 525 wide track offering is diesel done right,” said Greg Lawrence, marketing

product manager of the Dingo product line.

“It provides the highest power-to-weight

Compared to other Dingo models, the TX 525 wide track diesel unit offers extra torque, longer engine life, and increased hydraulic flow for enhanced performance of ground-engaging attachments.

ratio — and the lightest footprint — in the compact utility loader market. We’ve delivered the extra power and durability of a diesel without sacrificing the light weight and go-almost-anywhere width that users expect from a Toro Dingo loader.”

The TX 525 wide track model’s auxiliary hydraulics provide power in tough soil conditions by pumping 24 hydraulic hp to the attachment. Featuring four independent hydraulic pumps, the TX 525 wide track delivers 16.9 gpm (64 Lpm) of flow to each track, 13.8 gpm (52 Lpm) to the auxiliary, and 6 gpm (23 Lpm) to the loader arm.

“This model delivers hydraulic performance beyond its category,” said Lawrence, “and the proof is in the plumbing.”

Weighing just 2,127 lbs. (965 kg) with a standard bucket, the TX 525 wide track has a rated operating capacity of 553 lbs. (35 percent of tip capacity). Its overall length of 92 in. (233 cm) with bucket and width of 40.5 in. (103 cm) make it compact enough to work in tight places and pass through a 42 in. gate. Also, the 9.5 in. (24 cm) wide tracks on the unit distribute the weight to a 3.5 psi for flotation in soft ground conditions.

Ritchie Bros. Inc. Reports Increased Revenues for 2009 Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated announced net earnings for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, of $93.5 million, or $0.88 per diluted share, and adjusted net earnings of $92.0 million, or $0.87 per diluted share compared to adjusted net earnings of $85.5 million, or $0.81 per diluted share, for the year ended Dec. 31, 2008. This represents year-over-year adjusted net earnings per share growth of 8 percent. Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure and is defined below.

Financial statement net earnings in 2008 were $101.4 million, or $0.96 per diluted share. The company’s auction revenues for the year ended Dec. 31, 2009, were $377.2 million, compared to $354.8 in 2008, representing a 6 percent year over year increase.

The company conducted 195 industrial auctions in 14 countries throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, Central America, Asia and Australia during 2009, and set 11 regional gross auction proceeds records. During the year, the company held its first ever auctions in India and Turkey, its first auction in Panama since 1999, and its second auction in Poland.

In 2009, the company paid approximately $40 million in regular cash dividends, a 12 percent increase over 2008.

Gross Auction Proceeds and Auction Revenues Gross auction proceeds in 2009 were $3.49 billion, 2 percent lower than in 2008. Gross auction proceeds is a nonGAAP financial measure and is described below. Excluding the impact of fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar, gross auction proceeds and auction revenues in local currency increased 2 percent and 11 percent, respectively, in 2009 compared to 2008. Excluding the United States market, gross auction proceeds increased by 10 percent in local currency in 2009 compared to 2008.

The company achieved gross auction proceeds of $891.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2009, a 4 percent increase compared to $853.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Numbers of Bidders, Buyers and Sellers The company recorded a 21 percent increase in the number of bidder registrations and a 15 percent increase in the number of buyers at its industrial auctions in 2009. The company had approximately 336,000 bidder registrations at its unreserved industrial auctions in 2009, of which almost 98,000 were successful buyers. In 2008, the company had approximately 278,000 bidder registrations, of which approximately 84,000 were buyers.

Ritchie Bros. worked with a large number of truck, equipment and other asset sellers in 2009, selling close to 283,000 lots on behalf of more than 37,000 consignors. In 2008, Ritchie Bros. sold in excess of 252,000 lots for more than 36,000 consignors.

Average Ritchie Bros. Auction The company’s auctions varied in size during 2009, but the average Ritchie Bros. industrial auction attracted more than 1,700 bidders who competed for more than 1,400 lots consigned by 190 consignors. For the 12 months ended Dec. 31, 2008, the average industrial auction attracted more than 1,400 bidders, who competed for more than 1,300 lots consigned by 189 consignors. The average gross auction proceeds per industrial auction for 2009 was approximately $17.3 million (2008 — $17.7 million).

Online Bidding Statistics Ritchie Bros. sold approximately $830 million of trucks, equipment, and other assets to online bidders during 2009, representing a 19 percent increase compared to 2008 (2008 — approximately $700 million). Almost 130,000 unique customers from more than 195 countries have now registered and received approval to bid online at Ritchie Bros. auctions.

Internet bidders represented approximately 35 percent of the total registered bidders at Ritchie Bros. industrial auctions in 2009, and they were the buyer or runner-up bidder on 37 percent of the lots offered online at these auctions (2008 — 30 percent).

Since launching its real-time online bidding service in 2002, the company has now sold almost $3.3 billion worth of trucks, equipment, and other assets to online bidders.

Summary Comments “We continued to execute our long-term growth strategy and are pleased with our performance in 2009 in the face of challenging conditions in several of our major markets,” said Peter Blake, Ritchie Bros. CEO. “We made significant investments in the future of our company, opening seven new and replacement auction sites, growing our sales team by 14 percent, introducing new value-added services for our customers and improving our systems and processes, including development of a new sales force automation tool and piloting a timed auction system. We sold a record number of equipment items, registered record numbers of on site and online bidders, including significant numbers of first time customers, sold a record amount of equipment to online bidders and conducted a number of successful auctions in frontier markets. Our efforts to control expenses and improve efficiency are reflected in our healthy adjusted net earnings growth.

“Our gross auction proceeds did not grow as expected in 2009, although we did see growth in some of our markets, such as Canada where we generated a 19 percent increase in local currency gross auction proceeds. In general, average equipment values at our auctions were lower than in 2008, and combined with a shift to more lower valued items, this diminished the impact of the 12 percent increase in items we sold in 2009. At the beginning of 2009 we expected a high volume of idle equipment to come to market but this did not happen. Equipment owners had the unusual situation of low interest rates and generally more accommodating lenders, so in the face of a high degree of uncertainty in the market and depressed equipment values, many equipment owners chose to hold on to their assets.

“It’s hard to say exactly what 2010 has in store for Ritchie Bros. — precise visibility into the future is challenging for us at the best of times — and even though the results of our recent auctions have been very promising, the continuing uncertainty in equipment markets makes 2010 a tough year to predict. Like many other companies, we have been impacted by the global recession; however, we remain focused on executing our strategy and generating earnings growth over the long term,” Blake said.

Definitions of Non-GAAP Measures The company defines adjusted net earnings as financial statement net earnings excluding the after-tax effects of excess property sales and significant foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from financing activities that are not expected to recur, and has provided a reconciliation below.

Adjusted net earnings is a non-GAAP financial measure that does not have a standardized meaning, and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The company believes that comparing adjusted net earnings for different financial periods provides more useful information about the growth or decline of its net earnings for the relevant financial period and identifies the impact of items which the company does not consider to be part of its normal operating results.

Gross auction proceeds represent the total proceeds from all items sold at Ritchie Bros. auctions. The company’s definition of gross auction proceeds may differ from those used by other participants in its industry. Gross auction proceeds is an important measure the company uses in comparing and assessing its operating performance. It is not a measure of the company’s financial performance, liquidity or revenue and is not presented in its consolidated financial statements. The company believes that auction revenues, which is the most directly comparable measure in its statements of operations, and certain other line items, are best understood by considering their relationship to gross auction proceeds.
