ing congestion,” Nathan Abler, a Caltrans District 12 (Orange County) spokesperson, told Construction Equipment Guide. “It will improve safety for maintenance crews and provide Caltrans with the ability to collect, analyze and utilize data for systems performance along the I-405 corridor.” Planning began in June 2019, and the work is funded through the 2020 State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP), which is supported by Senate Bill 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017. Caltrans developed the project in collaboration with Atkinson, Michael Baker International and HNTB. see ATKINSON page 40

Robotic Muscle

Automation, AI Taking Infrastructure Sector By Storm This Year Jobsite robotics technology is a hot topic this year in construction, but especially in transportation construction. The concept of automated construction may still seem futuristic to many, while others have signaled their willingness to dip their toes into the robotics pool. It’s time, say technology developers, who believe that the job of building roads and bridges can and will become more efficient in terms of cost, labor and technology.

JCB Hydromax Sets New Hydrogen Land-Speed Record JCB took its hydrogen engine technology from the construction site to the Bonneville Salt Flats on Aug. 11, 2026, where its Hydromax race car reached an average speed of 406.32 mph to set a new world land-speed record for a hydrogen-powered internal-combustion vehicle. Driven by Wing Commander Andy Green, Hydromax recorded 400.623 mph on its first run and 412.135 mph on its second. The two runs were made in opposite directions in accordance with Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) rules. The record is subject to FIA ratification. The 32-ft.-long Hydromax is powered by two production-based JCB hydrogen combustion engines producing a combined 1,600 horsepower. The engines were manufactured at JCB’s facility in Foston, Derbyshire, England, and are based on technology developed for the company’s construction equipment. The run surpassed the previous FIAofficiated hydrogen internal-combustion record of 185.5 mph, set by the BMW H2R in 2004. It also exceeded JCB’s own 350.092-mph diesel land-speed record, established by Green behind the wheel of JCB Dieselmax at Bonneville in 2006. “Twenty years ago, we came to Bonneville with JCB Dieselmax and showed what British engineering could do with diesel power,” JCB Chairman Anthony Bamford said. “Today we have done it again — this time with engines powered by hydrogen.” “Bonneville is the spiritual home of the world land-speed record, and JCB Hydromax has just written itself into that history,” Green said. “The car was terrific — stable, strong and fast. Setting a world land-speed record with hydrogen power, 20 years after Dieselmax, is a huge privilege. This record is a huge achievement by a world-class team and superb technology.” JCB has invested approximately $135 million in its hydrogen engine program. The company said it has produced more than 150 hydrogen combustion engines, with the first hydrogen-powered machines now entering production. JCB unveiled its first hydrogen-powered construction equipment prototypes — a backhoe loader and Loadall telescopic handler — in 2021. The company is developing hydrogen combustion as

an alternative power source for heavy equipment. The hydrogen-powered machines are not currently commercially available in the United States. The record comes as JCB prepares to open a new $500 million manufacturing facility in San Antonio, Texas. The company expects the plant to employ approximately 1,500 people and manufacture construction equipment for the U.S. market. JCB h previously used speed-record projects to demonstrate its engineering capabilities. In addition to Dieselmax’s 2006 record, a JCB Fastrac reached 135.191 mph in 2019 to become the world’s fastest tractor. In 2014, the JCB GT established a 72.58 mph speed record for a backhoe loader. For JCB, the Hydromax project is intended to demonstrate the potential of hydrogen combustion technology developed for construction equipment. When operated on hydrogen, the company said the engines produce no CO2 at the tailpipe. The record comes ahead of the opening of JCB’s new $500 million factory in San Antonio, Texas, which will employ 1,500 people manufacturing machines for the U.S. market.  (All photos courtesy of JCB.)

Bobcat Demonstrates Loader Evolution Technology

Josh Goodman, a senior product training specialist of Bobcat Co., explains the radar detection system on a Bobcat S66 skid-steer loader. The system alerts operators to obstacles and automatically reduces machine travel speed as they approach.

Bobcat invited members of the media and digital content creators to Terrell, Texas, on July 31, 2026, for a hands-on Bobcat T86-2 compact track loader loads material into a dump truck. The updated T86-2 delivers 115 hp and a demonstration of the company’s latest compact loaders and A 12-ft. lift height. technology. The event gave attendees dedicated time behind the controls of Bobcat’s new Classic and Pro loader models while rotating through product stations highlighting advancements in machine performance, operator controllability, jobsite awareness and AI-powered productivity tools. Scott Johnson, Bobcat’s senior director of product for loaders, said the product evolution centers on helping operators accomplish more while giving customers a clearer distinction between machine offerings. “The Classic lineup is for customers who want a dependable machine focused on getting the job done,” Johnson said. “The Pro models are designed for customers looking to improve efficiency, productivity and operator experience through new technology.” One of the largest updates showcased during the event was Bobcat’s new drive mode system for Pro loaders. Operators could switch between four selectable modes — agile, balanced, dynamic and charged — each adjusting drive speed, acceleration and machine responsiveness to A Bobcat T76-2 compact track loader demonstrates the Pro lineup’s selectable drive modes, allowing operators to match different operating styles and jobsite conditions.

CBI Grinders Power Through Public Works Operations In the heart of California’s Central Valley, where agriculture, development and environmental responsibility intersect, the county of Kern is setting the standard for efficient and sustainable waste management. At the forefront of this initiative is the Public Works Department, led by Maintenance Supervisor Patrick Davis, whose team oversees grinding operations of organic waste across multiple sites, from East Kern to the valley floor. Supporting their mission are three powerhouse machines supplied by Powerscreen of California, Nevada, & Hawaii — one CBI 5800BT and two CBI 6800CT horizontal grinders. These machines are not just part of the fleet: They are the backbone of the county’s wood and green waste processing program. Keeping Kern County Moving Kern County’s Public Works grinding crew is responsible for processing material at both transfer stations and landfill sites throughout the region.

wrapping around more than 190 degrees, this grinder is sure to keep Kern County processing material at a faster and more accurate rate. The grinder’s durability is equally impressive. A reinforced shaft and bearing system, paired with an optional 1200hp CAT C32 engine, allow it to process the toughest wood waste with ease. CBI’s signature offset helix rotor distributes material evenly and reduces energy loss, which means lower fuel consumption and higher output, exactly what a county operation needs. This setup helps the machine consistently produce high-quality output, even in high-demand operations like the ones that Kern County deals with, producing rates exceeding 200 tons per hour. The CBI 5800BT also holds its own, offering similar power in a smaller, more transport-friendly package. This upswing grinder is engineered with mobility in mind, making it ideal for contractors and agencies that must comply with transportation weight restrictions. Like its larger model, the 5800BT never compromises on strength or throughput, powered by a 765-hp Cat C18 engine and designed with the same rugged efficiency CBI is known for. Local Support Makes a Difference Another factor that solidified Kern County’s loyalty to Powerscreen of California was the recent opening of a new parts and service facility in Taft, Calif., just 30 minutes from its base of operations. For

Davis and his crew, this proximity means more than just convenience — it is a game changer. “I was really happy when I found out they opened the Taft shop,” Davis said. “If I need a part, I can usually call and head over the same day. That kind of responsiveness keeps us up and running.” With demanding schedules and multiple locations to cover, minimizing downtime is critical. The availability of parts, combined with the mobile-friendly design of the CBI grinders, enables Kern County to operate at peak efficiency without sacrificing quality or production. High Performance, High Satisfaction For Davis and the Kern County Public Works Department, the investment in CBI grinders has more than paid off. The machines have not only met but exceeded expectations for throughput, durability, and ease of use. More importantly, the partnership with Powerscreen of California has ensured continued success through dependable service and expert guidance. “The production rates we’ve seen are outstanding,” Davis said. “We’re very happy with the machines and even happier with the support we’ve received.” As Kern County continues to lead the way in sustainable waste management and public works operations, its grinder fleet, anchored by CBI and backed by Powerscreen of California, remains a key part of the equation.  (All photos courtesy of Chris Maginnis, Awesome Earthmovers.)

Caterpillar Buys Skycatch, Expands Mining Technology Caterpillar Inc. acquired Skycatch Inc., a provider of spatial data capture, processing and analysis solutions for the mining industry, further enhancing its capabilities following the recent acquisition of RPMGlobal. The acquisition expands Caterpillar’s portfolio of data-driven mining technology solutions that help customers optimize material movement. “Acquiring Skycatch aligns with our strategy to solve our customers’ toughest challenges,” said Denise Johnson, group president, Caterpillar Resource Industries. “By integrating near-real-time, highresolution spatial data into both RPM and MineStar solutions, we can help customers improve mine site performance by enhancing safety, productivity and predictability across their operations using both staffed and autonomous fleets.” Skycatch’s technology captures highfrequency, high-precision, large-scale spatial data and pairs it with a suite of AI capabilities that identify, measure and interact with the data to deliver improved operational performance. This gives mining customers a more up-to-date view of their operations, improving the speed, accuracy and precision of decision-making, according to the company.

“Skycatch’s ability to process large volumes of spatial data at dramatically improved speeds opens up a fundamentally different way of operating,” said Richard Mathews, CEO of RPMGlobal. “With a near real-time spatial view of the operation, miners can adjust plans as conditions change, improve alignment between planning and execution, and deliver more predictable

outcomes.” By generating a near-real-time digital twin of the mining site and integrating it directly into existing software solutions, customers can incorporate accurate, current data into their planning and execution workflows. The result is improved decision-making, reduced delays and greater confidence in daily operations, according to the company.

“We’re incredibly proud of what Skycatch has built over the past decade and excited for this next chapter with Caterpillar,” said Christian Sanz, Skycatch founder and CEO. “This next step strengthens our ability to support our customers while increasing the value we can deliver.” For more information, visit caterpillar. com, rpmglobal.com and skycatch.com. 

3D-Printed Bridge Points Way to Greener Construction By Stephanie Martinovich SPECIAL TO CEG

Concrete is the most widely used building material on Earth, and producing it is one of the largest single sources of carbon emissions. One promising way to reduce its environmental footprint is to 3D-print concrete, laying it down bead by bead like a giant icing-piping robot. This process eliminates the labor-intensive formwork of pouring it into molds, and places the material only where a structure needs it. But many of the most efficient designs created by computers are impossible for today’s printers to build. Engineers use a technique called topology optimization to find the strongest structure that uses the least amount of material. But those mathematically ideal designs, with their intricate, spiderweb shapes, don’t account for the physical limitations of large-scale concrete printers with their thick nozzles, limited turning and need to print in one continuous motion. Now a team of MIT researchers has developed a way to close that gap. Their framework, described in a new article in Additive Manufacturing, bakes a printer’s real fabrication limits directly into the optimization, so the design that comes out is one a machine can build and print with little or no manual redesign. They demonstrated it by designing, printing, and loadtesting a 2.3-meter concrete bridge and found that today’s printing hardware, not the concrete itself, limits how light a structure can be. “We were finding a lot of cracks you can fall through when it comes to translating these super-optimal designs into manufacturable designs,” said co-first author Hajin Kim-Tackowiak Ph. D. ‘26, a postdoc in MIT’s Department

of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE). “Those cracks were like chasms.” Designing for What Can Be Built To pin down the constraints, the team worked with the people who run the large-scale printing machines at Autodesk’s facility in Boston. “They pointed at some of our sharp angles, and they went, ‘I don’t feel safe printing something like that,’” Kim-Tackowiak said. Those conversations surfaced three key limitations: how thick each printed bead must be, how sharply the nozzle can turn and

the need to print in a single continuous line. The researchers translated each constraint directly into the mathematical rules of their framework. Existing 3D-printed structures are typically produced with older methods that optimize the shape first, and then require “a massive amount of post-processing,” taking days to run, Kim-Tackowiak said. By contrast, the team’s framework generated fully printable designs in about two minutes on a laptop. When the team needed to slightly reduce the bridge’s size on the day of printing, they simply reran the optimization and had an updated design five to 10 minutes later.

“Reaching that speed at all is recent,” said co-first author Zane Schemmer, a Ph. D. student in CEE. The math the method relies on, mixed-integer optimization, was long considered too hard to use. “You go back five, 10 years ago, the solver we used, even three years ago, could not solve these problems,” he said. “This field has been avoided, because everyone thinks that’s not an avenue we can go down. But with new algorithms and resources, it’s becoming a way we can start to frame problems.” Bridge Reveals Real Limitation To validate the framework,

the researchers went back to Autodesk’s facility to print a 2.3-meter-long concrete bridge. “The bridge took about 30 minutes to make and was built from off-the-shelf mortar,” said senior author Josephine Carstensen, the Gilbert W. Winslow (1937) Career Development Professor in Civil Engineering. In testing, the roughly 900-lb. structure held more than 2,000 lbs. spread across it with virtually no measurable bending, closely matching the team’s simulations. But the test also revealed the study’s biggest surprise. see BRIDGE page 24

MIT Researchers Design, Load Test 3D Concrete Bridge BRIDGE from page 23

“What we found was our result was super over-engineered,” Kim-Tackowiak said. “From zero to 200,000 pounds, your design is entirely driven by these ‘can I build it or not’ constraints. And then, after 200,000 pounds, you can start to think about the physics.” In other words, the limits of current printing technology, not the strength of concrete, were dictating how efficient the structure could be. Roadmap for Better Printers Because the framework finds the mathematically best possible design, the researchers could measure exactly how much each hardware limitation costs in material. “With mixed-integer optimization, we can find the global optimum, the best solution there is, as opposed to just a good solution,” Carstensen said. “Because we know we’re finding the best solution out there, we can also quantify: If we had a machine that could do other things, what would that mean for how much material we’re using?” “The single biggest lever was the width of the printed bead. The bridge used a 4 centimeter bead. The analysis showed a machine that was able to lay a 1 cm bead could cut material MIT Researchers photo use by as much as 76 percent During testing, the roughly 900-lb. bridge held more than 2,000 lbs. while staying “well within of concrete blocks spread across its top without measurably bending, safety margins,” Carstensen closely matching the team’s simulations. said. The result surprised her. “I thought the continuous path would be the problem, the one that had the highest effect,” she said. “But it wasn’t. It was the bead width.” The result is a roadmap for printer-makers showing Hajin Kim-Tackowiak that modest hardware MIT Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering improvements could unlock large gains in efficiency and cut concrete’s carbon MIT Researchers photo it: Concrete is weak when pulled, concrete structure, is proving its own A close-up of the bridge shows the stacked layers, or beads, footprint. and the lift put parts of the bridge challenge.” Part of what made the of extruded concrete, laid down in a single continuous path The work was funded by the National in tension they were never meant bridge possible is that every with no molds.

Hitachi Reveals Strategy Ahead of LANDCROS Transition LANDCROS from page 26

EIK Engineering had an indoor and outdoor exhibit. Outside, its amphibious undercarriage matched with a Hitachi Zaxis 75U — mid-sized excavator — was a unique pairing that drew quite a bit of interest.

The Partner Showcase, a vendor and supplier feature of the event, kept Jed Klein (C) of Sourcewell busy discussing the advantages of the membership and ease of handling RFP’s in governmental purchasing.

Among the largest group of attendees at the meeting had to be this group of staffers of RECO Equipment based in Belmont, Ohio.

After a long day one, it was time to strike up the band and relax and reflect on the day.

Attendees packed the Zaxis Finance-sponsored Trilith After Dark party and had a great time enjoying food, beverage and conversation with Hitachi/LANDCROS staffers and dealers.

(L-R): The HydrauliCircuit Technology (HCT) exhibit was buzzing with interest of hydraulic kits and window guards with HCT’s Greg Hickman, Stephen Wallace and Navin Baliga busy talking with prospects.

Rototilt Inc.’s Eric Leduc (L) provides an in-depth look at the RC5 tiltrotator that was spotlighted on the new Zaxis 180W wheeled excavator.

(L-R): Multiquip’s Kie Doster and Jon Anderson discuss their company’s handheld tools, compaction equipment and lighting products with HCMA’s Jeremy Monroe during the Partner Showcase.

MB Crusher Announces MB-T150 Hydraulic Side Shift In the United States, many contractors are changing how they use their skid steers. Once considered the smaller machine on site, skid steers are becoming some of the hardest-working units on construction projects. Contractors increasingly rely on them for everything from demolition to material handling — and today, they can do even more. That’s the idea behind the MB-T150 hydraulic side shift, developed by MB Crusher for a market where versatility and productivity drive every equipment decision. Mounted between the skid steer and an MB Crusher attachment, the MB-T150 allows operators to slide and rotate their tool directly from the cab, expanding the attachment’s range of motion and turning the skid steer into a more capable demolition and material-processing machine. With a weight of approximately 805 lbs. and designed for skid steer loaders in the 6,614–12,125 lb. range, the attachment works with tools such as demolition pulverizers. This combination allows operators to demolish structures and reduce material size directly on site, preparing it for the next step — processing with a crusher bucket.

The result is a more efficient operation and a faster return on investment for contractors who can get more from their skid steers every day, according to MB Crusher. The system is controlled through two electric kits that manage sliding and rotation, giving operators quick adjustments and greater flexibility without needing to reposition the machine. The MB-T150 has already drawn strong attention across the industry. The attachment was showcased by MB Crusher at major trade shows including World of Concrete 2026 and ConExpo-Con/AGG, where contractors and equipment professionals had the opportunity to see it up close.

Holms, Energreen Partner

Holms Attachments and Energreen America announced a cooperation to provide United States dealers and end users with sweepers for the Energreen ILF self-propelled hydrostatic machines. The Energreen brand has its roots in Italy, where the manufacture of roadside maintenance machinery began in 1999. This is the first cooperation between the two companies. The range of Energreen ILF self-propelled hydrostatic machines has been designed primarily for the professional care of large outdoor spaces, such as cleaning roadsides and maintaining waterways. The Energreen machines are equipped with telescopic arms with working distances between 21 and 50 ft. on which it is possible to use various attachments. The equipment can

be fit with front and rear mounted attachments providing great flexibility with one machine. The Holms angle sweepers follow surface slopes and irregularities in every position due to their spring-loaded self adjusting suspension system. The brush is supported by long- travel springs that provide even and consistent ground pressure, eliminating the need for support wheels. The sweepers to move freely horizontally to match ground level. The result is sweeping performance with minimal brush wear, longer service intervals and improved operational efficiency, according to the company. “We are excited about the opportunity to work with an innovative manufacturer like Energreen,” said Dan Snedecor, general manager of Holms Inc. “Our product range will provide Energreen dealers and customers with a high-quality sweeper solution.” “We are happy to add the Holms product to our offering,” said Alessandro Cazzin, CEO of Energreen America. “The partnership supports our goal to be a complete supplier for the roadside maintenance customer.” For more information, visit holms.com/en/ and energreenamerica.com/. 

Bridge work has required cranes, under-bridge access equipment and manlifts. ATKINSON from page 1

Abler said deteriorating pavement conditions prompted the rehabilitation effort. “Deteriorating pavement was showing surface distress, slab displacement and cracking,” he said, adding that the corridor also contained “cracked and settled bridge departure and approach slabs and out-of-date railing.” The project also addresses outdated landscaping and irrigation systems, maintenance access issues and operational deficiencies along the corridor. “We want to minimize the exposure of maintenance crews to live traffic,” Abler said, “and address existing unpaved areas, graffiti, minimal maintenance access and outdated irrigation facilities adjacent to the shoulder. There is a lack of traffic system management connectivity and, regarding operational improvements, we are addressing ramp queuing, mainline delay and non-standard access for pedestrians. There is also a lack of a public park-and-ride facility along I-405.” The work includes pavement rehabilitation, bridge widening and rehabilitation, replacement of loop detectors and approach slabs, pavement grinding and grooving, ADA curb ramp reconstruction, bike lane improvements, smart lighting installation, CCTV upgrades, traffic signal modifications and wrong-way warning system upgrades. Traffic management improvements include ramp and roadway widening and modernization of the ramp metering system. A new park-and-ride facility is being constructed near southbound I-405 at Bristol Street. The facility includes EV charging stations, solar canopies and a battery energy storage system. Crews also are building a sound wall along the southbound I-405 off-ramp to University Drive/Jeffrey Road and six retaining walls. Most of the current work consists of nighttime curb and ramp construction, paving and electrical activities on both the northbound and southbound sides of I-405. Stage 1

earthwork, drainage and paving operations and all major structural work have been completed. Recent activities have included drainage, electrical, irrigation, landscaping, striping, paving, saw cutting and sealing operations. “Work has progressed significantly on safety system upgrades job-wide, and the major civil activities for the park and ride,” the Atkinson project team said in written responses to Construction Equipment Guide. “The remaining work will focus on the second stage earthwork, drainage and paving operations to complete the ramp and remaining main line improvements. Electrical work is continuing job-wide to wrap up traffic signals and ITS improvements, along with the ADA curb and ramp upgrades.” Atkinson divided construction into two stages. Stage 1 created work areas for half of the ramp improvements and adjacent mainline paving, while Stage 2 shifted traffic onto the completed work and opened areas for the remaining ramp and mainline improvements. The accelerated schedule and overlapping design and construction activities have been among the project’s biggest challenges. “The accelerated schedule and the overlapping scope have been the greatest challenge on the project,” the Atkinson team said. “We started portions of the pavement rehabilitation work early while completing the design for the remainder of the project and also combined stages to work simultaneously in multiple areas of the project.” Crews also have worked within tight construction zones adjacent to live traffic. “A majority of the work requires nighttime lane closures to be completed, so we are working immediately adjacent to traffic,” the Atkinson team said. “The day work is staged behind K-rail and access is also tight. … We also deploy a fleet of truck-mounted attenuators to ensure the areas that are not staged behind K-rail are protected.” see ATKINSON page 48

Contractors Investing More Into Robotics, AI Technology ROBOTICS from page 1

From drones to remote-controlled machines, the infrastructure sector is an open road when it comes to robotics, AI and all things automated. The construction labor shortage is not going away, and construction workers the industry does count on are aging. That’s a big part of technology developers’ rapid drive to introduce fresh technology such as automation and remote operation to contractors. “For some, our long-term objective may still sound like science fiction,” said Stefan Klumpp, chief technology officer of HAMM AG, a Wirtgen Group company. “Eventually, aided by our developments, road construction of the future will become even more costeffective, more efficient and better.” What Does the Future Hold for Road Builders? Robotics usage has risen sharply over the past year, said Audrey Lynch, director of research for construction intelligence company BuiltWorlds. The company recently released is 2026 list of the top robotics companies in around the world. It found that this year’s list shows the growing use of robotics “on and off the job site, including significant advancements in spatial AI.” “We’ve seen jobsite robotics usage rise sharply since 2025,” said Lynch, adding that those piloting robotics rose three-fold. She believes that signals a growing awareness and willingness to test the technology. On the job site, robotics systems focused on layout, installation and finishing, inspection and monitoring and drilling were most sought-after. Material transport, earthmoving and excavation and demolition made the list in the category of automated machinery and related solutions Off site, 3D printing and additive manufacturing as well as prefabricated component manufacturing came in on BuildWorks Top 50 list. It’s no surprise that among the robotics companies spotlighted on this year’s list was a clear increase in the incorporation of AI, according to Lynch. “Advancements in spatial AI are increasing the applications of robotics throughout the global environment,” Lynch said. From jobsite robotics companies to autonomous equipment providers, the transition of robotics from potential tools to applicable technologies is represented. And though the BuildWorks list is a global one, several North American companies are developing technology for

The transportation infrastructure sector is ripe for the robotics technology industry. Many contractors are ready to take the plunge and invest in automated equipment, AI technology and robotics systems.

the transportation construction sector: Cyphra Autonomy builds autonomous robotic haulers that move materials across construction sites without training or setup time from field crews. According to BuildWorks, the startup rents its robots directly to contractors. Workers stay focused on skilled tasks instead of material movement. Gecko Robotics combines wall-climbing inspection robots with its AI platform for continuous visibility into the structural health of critical infrastructure. Power plants, industrial facilities and bridges have been inspected using robotic data collection to track surface corrosion and degradation. Toggle Robotics pre-assembles rebar cages off site with industrial robots, AI and a proprietary software platform. Delivering the cages to job sites, the solution has been deployed on transit infrastructure, bridge decks and renewable energy projects across the United States. Other companies are rapidly changing their corporate models to develop robotic infrastructure streamlining technology. According toThe Robot Report, construction management software provider Procore has acquired DroneDeploy, a robotics and visual intelligence platform developer. Designed for the built world, DroneDeploy’s system has been used on more than three million job sites across more than 180 countries. Ajei Gopal, Procore president and CEO, said the goal is to cross-sell the two products. “For the longer term, adding DroneDeploy’s technology into the Procore platform will enable us to accelerate our AI strategy,” Gopal added.

The two companies said the combination of their technologies will enable users to see, understand and act within Procore. In July, startup TerraFirma announced funding acquisitions to expand its robotics engineering, manufacturing, operations and construction teams. The company also is continuing to develop a line of semi-autonomous heavy equipment, according to The Robot Report. Public Works Entities Adopt Cutting Edge Technology State and local governments are seeing the benefits of automation, AI and robotics technology for federal compliance requirements. U.S. cities are leveraging robots to evaluate sidewalk conditions to improve communities’ physical accessibilities and meet ADA standards. Daxbot uses autonomous robots equipped with sensors to collect data such as sidewalk level changes. In an article for Government Technology, Julia Edinger reported that these robots have been deployed in cities across the United States. “These assessments by the robots help us identify all the deficiencies as it relates to the accessibility standards,” said Errick Thompson of Burleson, Texas. The city did not replace the human element of the work, Thompson emphasized in speaking with Government Technology. Hands-on training was provided for staff to do these same assessments to support the verification process and other evaluation needs, reported Edinger. Daxbot’s robots can weigh the different

types of sidewalk defects differently so government users can prioritize investments. Caltrans is using robotics technology to mitigate the need for human inspectors to enter risky confined spaces. The Sacremento Bee reported that “Spot,” a headless, robotic dog produced by Boston Dynamics, is being sent into these spaces based on need. “It’s not a tool that we use every day, but when you need it, you really need it,” said Aaron Chamberlin, a field systems coordinator of Caltrans. The robots are equipped with sensors that quickly gather information that would take human maintenance workers longer to safely obtain. Chamberlin said that Caltrans invested in several Spots as part of a broader effort to use robotic technologies to improve safety for workers. The agency also sought to more effectively maintain and repair the state’s infrastructure. Equipment Manufacturers at the Ready Heavy machinery manufacturers have seen the writing on the wall. Wirtgen Group reported that HAMM AG is developing selfdriving compaction machines. The company said trials currently under way within the limits of a test track “are just one component” of the future-orientated “autonomous rollers” project. Studies and trials at HAMM have demonstrated that such machines allow compaction quality and efficiency to be noticeably increased. Systems for navigation, speed control, spacers, lane assistants, parking and steering aids are increasingly establishing themselves, said Wirtgen. “These assistance systems form the basis of the self-driving trucks and cars that are being developed by industry pioneers” and are being track-tested. “Rollers for asphalt and soil compaction will be among the first vehicles in which such systems will widely establish themselves,” said Klumpp. Klumpp said that’s because they are closer to cars than many other types of machine. Meanwhile, Caterpillar this year announced it has teamed with Nvidia to advance the integration of AI and automation into its construction machinery lines. Semiconductor maker Nvidia is working with Cat to pilot an AI assistive system in the machinery manufacturer’s mid-size mini-excavator. Cat AI Assistant was built on a fleet of AI agents and can answer operator questions, allow access to resources, offer safety tips and schedule services. see ROBOTICS page 53

Felling Launches Its Biggest ‘Trailer for a Cause’ Auction

The Henry’s Heroes’ Walk brought together more than 750 participants, volunteers and NICU families, who joined to support families experiencing a NICU stay.

Felling Trailers Inc. will hold its 14th annual Trailer for a Cause online auction Sept. 24-30, 2026, with proceeds benefiting Henry’s Heroes, a Central Minnesotabased nonprofit that supports families navigating the emotional and financial challenges of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) journey. This year’s auction features the company’s largest capacity Trailer for a Cause to date: a custom FT-12 Pan drop deck trailer. Felling Trailers’ goal is to raise awareness of the valuable work Henry’s Heroes does for the families and community members it serves throughout Central Minnesota and beyond. The FT-12 Pan features an overall deck length of 22 ft. and a payload capacity of 11,100 lbs. The Pan trailer was painted charcoal metallic gray with a custom “Henry’s Heroes” purple stripe and white pinstriping on the sides, and it bears the Henry’s Heroes emblem. “Over the past several years, we kept hearing the same request from auction participants: They wanted to see a bigger, more versatile trailer up for bid,” said Pat Jennissen, Felling Trailers vice president

PTR Case Study: Preserve Capital, Maintain Operations For contractors operating across multiple job sites, fleet is more than a line item. It plays a direct role in how work gets done, how quickly crews can move and how efficiently projects stay on track. For this civil contractor, supporting projects across the United States, that reality was constant. Fleet equipment represented one of the largest costs in the business, influencing not only day-to-day operations but also long-term planning, risk exposure and the ability to scale. As the company continued to grow, so did the impact of those decisions. Adding owned trucks was never just about meeting demand in the field. It meant committing capital, taking on maintenance responsibility and managing the full life cycle of each unit. Over time, leadership began to recognize that fleet decisions were doing more than supporting operations. They were shaping where capital was being allocated and where constraints were starting to build. That shift in perspective made one thing clear. The existing model would need to evolve. Flexibility Limited Like many contractors, the company built its fleet around ownership first, using leasing to fill gaps as needs evolved. That model

provided control and, for a time, worked well to support day-to-day operations. As the business grew, however, the tradeoffs became more apparent. Every additional truck required capital upfront, and each new unit added ongoing responsibility for maintenance, repairs and life cycle

management. What started as a practical approach to fleet began to carry more weight, not just operationally, but financially. With projects expanding across regions and demand continuing to increase, the need for additional trucks was clear. But continuing to rely solely on ownership and leasing meant committing more capital with every decision, limiting flexibility in other areas of the business. Rather than continuing down the same path, the team began looking for a way to add capacity without increasing capital exposure, leading them to explore how rental could support a more flexible fleet strategy. Introducing Rental Into Fleet Strategy As that shift in thinking took hold, rental became a practical way to start reshaping how fleet supported the business. Instead of relying solely on ownership and leasing, the team began incorporating rental to better align fleet decisions with how work was being executed in the field. • Rental provided a way to bring in additional trucks as demand increased, without requiring immediate capital outlay. • Rather than continuing to add owned or leased units, the team could scale their fleet without locking into long-term assets. • Fleet decisions could now reflect current project needs, instead of being driven solely by long-term ownership planning. • Rental was introduced as a complement to ownership and leasing, helping create a more balanced rent/lease/ own approach. Preserving Capital, Strengthening Operations As rental became an established part of the company’s fleet strategy, the impact was

felt across both financial performance and day-to-day operations. More than $4 million in fleet value is currently on rent, allowing the business to scale operations without committing upfront capital or increasing capex on additional truck purchases. Instead of being tied up in owned trucks, that capital remains available to support cash flow and other priorities across the business, including equipment investments, the ability to rent specialized equipment for specific phases of work and continued fleet expansion aligned with active projects. Operationally, the burden of managing maintenance shifted away from internal teams. Instead of coordinating repairs and handling breakdowns, the team relied on responsive field service support aligned with next-day expectations, helping reduce downtime and keep crews focused in the field. The process of adding fleet also became more predictable. When additional trucks were needed, requests were handled quickly, timelines were clear and crews had confidence in when equipment would arrive, eliminating uncertainty and keeping work moving in the field.

Moving Forward Fleet decisions don’t just impact the job site. They shape how a business allocates capital, responds to demand and plans for growth. By incorporating rental into a broader rent/ lease/own strategy, this contractor created a more balanced approach that preserves capital, reduces operational strain and supports consistent progress in the field. 

Tandem System Streamlines Pavement Rehab Ongoing Grading, Compaction Ops Focus for Atkinson Crews For heavy construction and land development crews, the biggest drains on profitability are excessive fuel consumption, high equipment maintenance and repetitive grading cycles. To solve this, Strobel Manufacturing engineered a powerful tandem system: the Strobel HD 20 Heavy Duty Box Scraper and Dual Earth Packer combination. This system cuts, fills, levels and packs massive swaths of terrain in a single, efficient pass, delivering a drastically lower cost per banked cubic yard, according to Strobel.

One-Pass Tandem Solution Traditional earthmoving workflows require an array of single-purpose machines: one to cut the dirt, another to level it and a heavy roller to compact it. This creates major operational bottlenecks and drives up labor costs. The Strobel integrated scraper-packer tandem eliminates these extra steps completely. By hooking the 20-ft. heavy-duty box scraper directly ahead of the heavy-duty Dual Earth Packers, contractors combine land leveling and high-density compaction into one streamlined operation. Contractors instantly save time, conserve fuel and drastically reduce the number of operators needed on site, according to Strobel. Built Strobel Strong When managing large-scale commercial site preparation, feedlot development or agricultural land improvement, structural integrity is non-negotiable. As the widest model in its class, the massive HD 20 is engineered specifically to withstand punishing industrial conditions. Reinforced Structure: Features reinforced, solid-welded sidewalls that prevent flexing and handle high-volume material loads without structural fatigue. Frame Integrity: A continuous tongue is welded entirely through the frame directly to the heavy back plate, optimizing pulling power and stabilizing the unit under maximum stress. Folding tongue and axles allows for transport without wide load permits. Superior Longevity: Built with antirotational, fully greaseable pivot points and replaceable high-strength cutting blades to minimize maintenance downtime. Ultimate Weapon for Haul Road Maintenance Potholes, ruts and wash boarding on heavy construction haul roads cause immediate,

and cycle times. The HD 20 and Dual Packer combination serves as a maintenance solution for high-traffic haul roads. The massive 20-ft. wide cutting blade effortlessly shaves off high spots, drops material into deep ruts and crowns the road for proper drainage, the company said. Immediately behind the blade, the Strobel Earth Packer seals the surface. Armed with hardened Stoodite teeth arranged in a high-density configuration — providing 30 percent more hard-surfaced teeth than a standard chevron pattern — the packers deliver exceptional, deep compaction while self-cleaning on every single revolution. The result is a well-compacted, tightly sealed haul road that maximizes haul truck speeds and minimizes equipment wear, according to Strobel. High Agility, Permit-Free Transport Despite its massive working footprint, the Strobel system is uniquely engineered for jobsite transitions. Moving a traditional 20-ft. wide piece of equipment normally demands expensive wide-load permits, escort vehicles and routing restrictions. Strobel bypasses this regulatory bottleneck entirely with an intelligent, transport-friendly design, the company said. The HD 20 features a specialized fold-in tongue alongside folding axles. This allows the entire configuration to fold down into a compact profile, enabling legal road transport between job sites without wide-load permits. On the job, this same axle and tongue geometry grants operators increased agility, allowing for tight, nimble turns in confined spaces that traditional scrapers simply cannot match, according to Strobel. Strobel also offers this set-up with a HD 12 Scraper and Single Packer. This setup delivers maximum dual-action earthmoving efficiency in tight spaces, sharp turns and restricted construction sites where massive self-propelled equipment cannot navigate, added the company. Lower Capital Investment, Better Bottom Line Investing in self-propelled scrapers and dedicated motor graders requires immense capital expenditure and steep ongoing maintenance costs. The pull-type Strobel HD 20 and Dual Packer system optimizes contractors’ existing tractor fleet, turning a high-horsepower tractor into a highproduction mass grading and compaction

ATKINSON from page 40

Crews encountered groundwater at one point. “We encountered some minor groundwater during our work to extend a triple box culvert in the San Joaquin Channel,” the Atkinson team said. “We were able to manage the water with diversion systems and pumping the water and reusing it on site.” Pavement rehabilitation remains a major focus. Existing pavement sections are being removed and replaced with upgraded structural sections, and excavation was required for ramp widening, mainline widening and retaining wall construction. “Main line cold plane and overlay work is ongoing and needs to be completed prior to the loop installation, which will occur under nightly lane closures,” the Atkinson team said. “The plan of attack has been to work simultaneously across the entire alignment to complete the work on time.” Bridge improvements included demolition and replacement of bridge overhangs. “The bridge work included removing and replacing the existing bridge overhangs to provide additional capacity to carry an upgraded concrete barrier for enhanced safety,” the Atkinson team said. “The majority of the concrete is delivered from an off-site batch plant. The rapid set concrete is batched on site using volumetric concrete mixers.” The sound wall was built early in the project to minimize impacts on motorists. “The [six] retaining walls were constructed in Stage 1 and were scheduled to maintain flow from structure to structure,” the Atkinson team said. “The walls are cast-in-place retaining walls, and one ground anchor wall was constructed in front of a bridge abutment. The walls, 170-ft. to 550-ft. long and 5-ft. to 16-ft. tall, were built in sequence, with some overlap.” The 56,000-sq.-ft. asphalt park-and-ride facility has completed paving operations, and crews are finishing electrical, drainage, hardscape and landscape work. “The park-and-ride took a large portion of excavated material from various locations on the project in order to build the required fill,” the Atkinson team said. “The plan was to first get all the excavated material in place for the fills, construct the retaining wall and then continue to the curbs, pavement section and various finishes. Minor excavation was required for the revised final contours, but the majority of the earthwork was fill.” ADA curb ramp work is being completed in phases to maintain pedestrian access. “One side of the street is under construction while pedestrian traffic is detoured to the op-

posing side of the street,” the Atkinson team said. “The traffic signal improvements are completed in conjunction with the ADA construction as the foundations for the poles are within the limits of the completed ramps. Once the infrastructure improvements are completed, the new bike lanes will be striped and the smart lighting features will be installed.” Earthwork and drainage operations used Cat 322 and 328 excavators, Hitachi 345 excavators, Cat D5 dozers, Cat 950 loaders, Cat CS56 rollers, HAMM 10i rollers, Cat 140M motor graders and a range of support equipment. Concrete paving operations used a Commander III slipform paver, RTP 500 placer and roller screeds, while bridge work has required cranes, under-bridge access equipment and manlifts. Atkinson said effective communication among field crews, construction management, designers and Caltrans has been critical to maintaining the aggressive schedule. “The team is constantly problem solving conflicts in the field and implementing solutions in a timely manner,” the Atkinson team said. “The communication flows from the field, construction management, through design to the owner and back to the field has been streamlined and has been instrumental in the success of the project.” Peak staffing has reached 250 to 300 Atkinson and subcontractor personnel per day. Major subcontractors include All American Asphalt, California Professional Engineers, Cooper Engineering Roadway Barrier, Drill Tech, Griffith Co., Harber Cos., KDC Inc. and Sierra Landscape. Material management has focused on reusing excavated material on site. Existing pavement was crushed and reused as base material, and most excavation material was used for embankment fill. “The majority of the excavated material has been used to fill embankments on site with roughly 15,000 cubic yards required to be exported at the end of the project,” the Atkinson team said. “No imported material was needed for embankments on site.” Atkinson imported approximately 60,000 tons of base material. Because the project operates nearly continuously, equipment maintenance is closely managed. “For the most part, repairs are completed quickly, within a shift, or the piece is replaced on site if more in-depth repairs are needed,” the Atkinson team said. “The key is to have everything in good working order when it is dispatched to the project so it can run hard for a short duration.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of Caltrans.)

Construction Equipment Is Becoming More Autonomous ROBOTICS from page 42

Cat said one of the biggest benefits of integrating AI tech into these machines is the data that the systems collect and send back out. “Our customers don’t live in front of a laptop day in and day out; they live in the dirt,” said Brandon Hootman, vice president of data and AI of Caterpillar. “The ability to get the insights and take the action that they need while they’re doing the work is very important to them,” he told TechCrunch. Caterpillar also is piloting digital twins of construction sites using Nvidia’s Omniverse library of simulation resources. Hootman said Caterpillar’s machines send roughly 2,000 messages back to the company every second. This data will help them build these simulations. Cat already has autonomous vehicles in the mining sector and Hootman said pilot programs are a great next step to bringing more automation to the portfolio. A tech-enabled construction company focused on robotic earthworks and site operations, the company builds and uses robotics and software in the field.

Co-founder Noah Schochet said TerraFirma is building the robotic infrastructure stack by combining AI, remote command and retrofitted machinery. This heavy machinery includes excavators, dozers, loaders, rollers and skid steers converted into robots that no longer require an operator in the cab. “Instead, skilled operators orchestrate entire fleets from screens, using the same intuition and judgment they’ve built over years,” said the Robot Report. That intuition and judgment are now extended across multiple machines at once for a system that claims to make each operator up to 300 percent more effective. It is designed to accelerate project execution, reduce costs and create jobs that are safer and higher paying than traditional equipment operation in the process. “It is not about trying to fully automate construction equipment,” Noah McGuinness, chief technology officer, told the Robot Report. “Driving real change requires building a whole ecosystem of technology that is directly informed by rapid iteration and lessons from the field,” he added.  CEG
