A scene from nighttime work in August 2025.

By Irwin Rapoport CEG CORRESPONDENT

The joint venture of C.A. Rasmussen Inc., the managing partner, and FBD Vanguard Construction Inc. began work on the California Department of Transportation’s (Caltrans) $143.7 million Interstate 405 Sepulveda Pass Pavement Rehabilitation Project on June 16, 2025. The project is designed to improve safety and mobility on a 10.2-mi. stretch of I-405 between the Los Angeles communities of Van Nuys and Westwood along the Sepulveda Pass.

Night operations started on June 24. The JV aims to complete the project in the winter of 2028-2029 based on a scheduled completion date of Aug. 19, 2027, followed by a 250-day plant establishment period.

Mitigating Risk With Prefab Tech

By Lucy Perry CEG CORRESPONDENT

Prefab or modular construction can be the solution to eliminate risk and changeability on construction projects. With the use of this construction method, contractors can avoid the possible impacts of fickle weather, transportation glitches and jobsite staging challenges — if the process, from start to finish, is well thought out. Prefabrication demands planning down to the smallest detail, and consideration of every possible project threat. see PREFAB page 22 Differing site conditions, material availability or design considerations, no matter how small the discrepancy, can render prefab components unusable.

Deutz Corp. Agrees to Acquire Onsite Diesel, Expanding Services

Deutz Corp. has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of OnSite Diesel, a Texas-based provider of heavy equipment repair services. The transaction is expected to close October 1, 2025.

Under the agreement, Deutz Corp. will continue to operate the OnSite Diesel brand, maintaining its reputation for servicing heavy equipment, including machines used for pipeline installation, rock quarry operations and landfill management. Deutz plans to retain all OnSite Diesel associates and will continue daily operations from the company’s Willis, Texas, facility, located just outside Houston.

OnSite Diesel is a family-owned business, launched in 2014 with one service truck and a single-bay shop. Today, with a fleet of service trucks and a larger custom-built facility, OnSite Diesel provides services to customers within a 250-mi. radius.

“We’re proud of the reputation OnSite Diesel has built over the years, and we’re excited to see it continue under Deutz Corp.’s leadership,” said Brent Nestor, president and owner of OnSite Diesel. “Our team remains dedicated to delivering the same reliable service customers expect, while also taking advantage of enhanced resources that will help us continue to evolve our business following the acquisition.”

Over time, Deutz anticipates leveraging OnSite Diesel’s capabilities across a broader footprint in new markets, reinforcing its role as a trusted partner across multiple industries. This acquisition will enhance Deutz’s United States presence and strengthen its ability to deliver exemplary service for an ever-growing catalog of off-highway equipment.

“The acquisition of OnSite Diesel represents our commitment to whole-machine service,” said Spencer McHugh, Deutz Americas head of M&A, strategy and field service growth. “With this expansion, we’re building on the foundation of our Deutz Power Centers, moving beyond engine and light equipment service to create a true one-stop-shop solution. We’re grateful to Brent Nestor and his entire team for their dedication to outstanding customer service, and we’re excited to build a better future together.”

HCEA’s 39th Annual Convention Debuts New Museum

The Historical Construction Equipment Association (HCEA) staged its 39th Annual International Convention & Old Equipment Exposition Sept. 18-20, 2025, on the grounds of the National Construction Equipment Museum at 16623 Liberty Hi Road in Bowling Green, Ohio, where crowds took in running demonstrations of antique machinery.

The centerpiece of the weekend was the dedication of HCEA’s new 20,000-sq.-ft. museum. Designed with a vaulted clear-span hall and heated floor, the building allows cranes and shovels to be displayed with booms raised while improving year-round visitor comfort.

The project was fully funded through donations. Ken Taylor, president of Ohio CAT and an HCEA corporate member, played a pivotal role by launching the “Big Push” campaign and matching contributions dollar-fordollar up to $500,000. The effort surpassed its goal, with more than $727,000 raised.

HCEA’s collection now numbers more than 200 major machines, many of which are operated during the convention’s outdoor demonstrations — continuing the group’s mission to preserve and showcase the equipment that built America.

During the event, attendees toured the completed facility. After the show, HCEA planned to begin staging restored equipment in the new hall to create expanded, permanent displays.

With a larger, purpose-built home and strong industry support, HCEA’s convention continues to connect enthusiasts, contractors and families with living construction history — now under one roof designed for the next generation of preservation.

Oklahoma Board Approves $8B Highway Improvement Plan

The Oklahoma Transportation Commission approved an $8 billion eightyear construction plan that will improve highways and bridges across the state, including upgrades to Interstate 35 and new safety projects, news9.com reported.

The plan, which was approved on Oct. 6, 2025, covers the fiscal years between 2026 and 2033.

Transportation officials said the plan will focus on modernization, safety and longterm maintenance. Some other projects were pushed out of the eight-year window because of inflation and rising material costs, news9.com reported.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) wish list includes the rehabilitation or replacement of 460 bridges, improvement of 675 mi. of two-lane

highways with faulty shoulders and improving the pavement of more than 2,800 lane mi., according to kosu.org.

Along with the construction plan, the commission reviewed a separate $500 million Asset Preservation Plan. That plan is designed to maintain the state’s existing interstate and highway infrastructure.

Oklahoma Department of Transportation Executive Director Tim Gatz briefed commissioners on the status of federal funding legislation and how it could impact state budgets for the next year. Gatz said the federal shutdown’s impact is minimal on current projects, news9.com reported.

“Where it will impact us is as we get further into federal fiscal (year) ‘26, the things like the construction contract lettings that have federal participation,” Gatz said.

“Without access to (a) new year's worth of appropriations, we will have to very carefully consider those future lettings as to which projects we can have on which projects we can't.”

But Gatz said the Federal Highway Administration’s National Construction Cost Index has climbed by approximately 63 percent since 2020, kosu.org reported.

Approximately 60 percent of ODOT’s funding is provided by the federal government, although those funds will soon expire and new authorization legislation hasn’t been passed, kfor.com reported.

The Transportation Commission, which is a nine-member board appointed by the governor and legislative leaders, meets each month to approve contracts and oversee the state’s transportation development.

Werk-Brau Golf Classic Raises Funds for Construction Angels

Best of all, more than $100,000 was raised to aid families of fallen construction workers in Ohio. It was a beautiful day for golf and networking at the third annual event, which was held at Pinnacle Golf Club in Grove City, Ohio. The sold-out field of 32 foursomes included contractors across the state — from small operations to nationally known companies like Kokosing, Miller Brothers, George J. Igel, Ronyak Paving and The Shelly Company as well as construction suppliers and those allied to the industry.

In addition to the low score medalist honors, the day's festivities included a “closest to the pin” contest, as well as a unique putting contest — using a compact excavator fitted with a Werk-Brau Tiltrotator and a one-of-a-kind Werk-Brau putter head attachment.

“Wow — a huge shoutout to everyone who made today such a resounding success,” said Werk-Brau regional manager and golf outing chairman Neil Recker. “Once again, the construction industry showed up big time. Thanks to the golfers, sponsors, customers, partners and volunteers who made it a great day. Many Ohio families of fallen construction workers will be helped because of you.”

The team from Rudd Equipment took home medalist honors with a 56 in the closely contested scramble format, while the team of George J Igel scored a hole-in-one to claim the $10,000 prize. The raffle included many summer essentials including grills, coolers, unique dining experiences and more.

Special thank you goes out to Platinum Angel sponsors, Murphy Tractor, Alta Equipment, Ronyak Paving and The Shelly Company.

Additional sponsors from across the state and throughout the industry supporting the event included Exact Crane & Equipment Corp., National Tube Supply, R & J Cylinder and Machine, IC-Fluid Power, Ritchie Brothers, Purple Wave Auction, Jarrett Logistics, ARIS GET LLC, O.F. Machining, Chicago Tube & Iron, Valley Tool and Manufacturing, Trucco Construction, Leeco Steel, Columbus Equipment, Southeastern Equipment, Reco Equipment, NPK Construction, Kalida Truck Equipment, Stoepfel Drilling, Black Cat Wear Parts, Bailey, Wahl Marketing Communications, Hylant, Surety Bonds and Clouse

Construction.

National sponsors of Fallen Angels include Advanced Drainage Systems, J. Alexander Law, John Deere, Dobbs Equipment, United Rentals, Friedman Legal, SimForMotion, Core & Main, Total Teks Group, Flagger Force, Wirtgen Group, GRH, U.S. Pipe, Heritage Construction & Materials, Werk-Brau, Case Construction, PSS Industrial Group, BOMAG FAYAT Group, Linder and American Traffic Safety Services Foundation.

Construction Angels is a nonprofit organization that provides immediate financial support and grief counseling to the children and spouse when a construction worker suffers a fatality on the job site. They are financially supported by many companies, organizations, unions and construction associations within the industry.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated there are 7.2 million people working in the construction industry with projected steady growth over the next 10 years. OSHA reports there are well over 5,000 work site deaths each year in the United States, more than 20 percent are in the construction industry. This is approximately 4.5 construction workers killed per working day in the United States

“Huge thank you to the entire Werk-Brau team for another awesome event,” said Kristi Gibbs, Construction Angels CEO and founder/national executive director. “They really got the construction industry to show up and show out. Your hard work and dedication mean so much to the Ohio families that we serve. We are so grateful for your support and look forward to the years to come.”

Towmaster Celebrates Chris Pokornowski’s 30-Year Career

Towmaster announced Chris Pokornowski, who has served the company with distinction for 30 years, most recently as general manager has stepped down as of Sept. 26, 2025. His career with the company is a story of growth, leadership and lasting impact.

Pokornowski began his career at Towmaster with the intention of taking on a short-term role before pursuing other opportunities. However, his talent and leadership potential quickly became evident. Starting on the production floor, he advanced through multiple positions, ultimately being promoted to leadership when Towmaster offered him a supervisory role. That pivotal decision set the course for a long and successful career.

Over the years, Chris held eight different positions within the organization, progressing from production laborer to general manager. His career path exemplifies Towmaster’s commitment to developing leaders from within.

“Anyone can make a difference and grow within the company,” Pokornowski said, underscoring the value of perseverance and dedication.

Throughout his tenure, Pokornowski witnessed significant changes in the equipment industry. He cites advancements in suspen-

sion systems, scaling technology and safety features as particularly influential, both for Towmaster and the broader industry. He also observed the steady growth in the size of

equipment, which has consistently challenged the trailer industry to innovate.

Looking ahead, he anticipates major developments with the eventual integration

of electric and autonomous vehicles into the towing industry, changes that will have profound implications for trailer design and electrical systems.

Among the many customer experiences Pokornowski has had, one stands out as especially memorable. When faced with a dissatisfied customer struggling with scaling issues, he worked directly with him to demonstrate proper trailer use. Pokornowski asked the customer to try the trailer under his direction. By the end of the day, the problem had been resolved and the interaction had transformed into a positive relationship.

For Pokornowski, this story reflects the importance of customer focus and the ability to turn challenges into opportunities.

Pokornowski plans to take time to rest before exploring the next chapter of his career. His parting advice to colleagues is both practical and inspiring.

“Don’t underestimate the impact you are making on the people around you.”

Towmaster extends its deepest gratitude to Chris Pokornowski for three decades of dedicated service, leadership and commitment to excellence. His contributions have left a lasting impact on the organization, and he departs with the respect and admiration of his colleagues.  CEG

Power Equipment Co. Restructures, Plans Open House

“The new facility represents a significant investment in building, technology, and service capabilities for a headquarters that would properly represent the company’s new vision and commitment to growth,” Marc Dowdell, president of Power Equipment, said.

The 52,000-sq.-ft. building sits on 20 acres at 1575 County Road in Brighton — about 20 mi. north of downtown Denver. Another 8,000-sq.-ft. building is under construction and will be dedicated to additional parts storage. Power Equipment combined three existing facilities (PECO Denver, PECO Greeley and Powerscreening Henderson) into the new Brighton facility.

Among the features visitors will see are three Kardex Vertical Storage Automated Parts Management Systems; a centralized field service dispatch center, 12 25-ft.-by-80-ft. full-service bays, a heated wash bay, a clean/tool room under construction and a complete auto-lube system.

More than 40 OEM representatives will attend the reveal to discuss the latest productivity and technological advances from brands like Volvo, Superior Industries, BOMAG, Cedar Rapids, Powerscreen, Evoquip, Lippman and others.

Company officials said they are in discussions to become the certified rebuild facility for the western United States for key OEM partners.

Power Equipment, or PECO, as known in the Rocky Mountain region, will turn 90 next year.

The company represents the Volvo Construction line of equipment in Colorado and northern New Mexico, but its reach extends well beyond the two states.

With five branches in Colorado (Brighton/Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Grand Junction and Durango), two in New Mexico (Albuquerque and Farmington), plus Casper, Wyo., Kansas City, Mo., Salt Lake City, Utah, and Calgary, Alberta (Machinery Supply Canada), PECO has a large presence in the aggregate industry representing Superior Industries, Cedar Rapids, Powerscreen, Komptech, Lippman and Evoquip, plus heavy construction lines BOMAG, Takeuchi, Link-Belt Cranes, Exodus Global, Shearcore, Connect Work Tools, Etnyre, SnoGo and Bearcat.

PECO also recently absorbed another ML Holdings entity, the former Powerscreening LLC, the Powerscreen dealer of Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Utah, southeast Idaho and Nebraska

PECO is part of ML Holdings — a private family office owned by Robert Matz, chairman, and son Dave Matz, president. The company also owns McLung Logan Equipment Co., Crane Service Inc. and Viably (Komptech North America.)

Along with its impressive new facility, PECO welcomed the following additions to its executive

team: Mark Kuhn, vice president of construction sales; Brad Bown, vice president of product support; Cade Seeley, director of aggregate parts; and Graham Lambert, director of centralized field service dispatch.

Customers Will Benefit

Dowdell said part of PECO’s ongoing mission will be focusing on quicker response times for customers’ service needs.

“For the front range of Colorado, for instance, we’ll house a centralized dispatch at the Brighton headquarters,” he said. “All calls will come into dispatch, where the necessary skill set will be identified. We’ll send an aggregate tech out on an aggregate call, while we might identify a top Volvo mechanic for a Tier IV final issue. Ultimately, the process will quantify the call, diagnose the problem utilizing telematics, and then send the right tech with the right tools.”

Dowdell said that “brick and mortar” is a somewhat antiquated business model, and that centralization is the future of the equipment business.

“When was the last time a contractor sent a piece of equipment to a branch to be fixed,” he said. “Almost never, as most are always a repair in the field. We are a logistics and finance company — right part, right application, right machine, right finance structure, right tech, right repair… right now.”

The facility also features modern training facilities, which Dowdell said will be important for the customer base.

“Everywhere I go and ask, ‘What more can PECO do for you,’ the answers always revolve around training,” he said. “Be it training on articulated truck operation or training on selecting the proper screening application in the aggregate world. We’ll provide the training and also offer the training space to our customers to use as they want.”

Dowdell said PECO bought 16 new service trucks this year to further increase support capabilities and decrease response time.

Results are encouraging, according to Dowdell.

“We’ve seen our market share increase by nearly 25 percent year over year. Sales are up 20 percent year over year and rental volume is up over 40 percent.”

Dowdell said the upside in Denver and the surrounding markets is huge.

“The market is great,” he said. “Plenty of federal funding, lots of heavy civil and heavy highway work. Obviously, we have a ton of rock, so material processing is critical for us. And then, of course, we have growing communities. This business has tremendous organic, as well as acquisition, growth opportunities.

“We have the right product lines and the right people. And we also have the capital necessary and the support of private ownership. Bob and Dave Matz are great owners.”

Prefab Construction Can Prevent Transport, Jobsite Issues

“Embracing prefab technology can mitigate risk and diminish uncertainties within any given construction project,” said Makenna Ryan, a civil engineer of Procore.

In a blog post on the construction software provider’s website, Ryan and writer Cait Bladt talked about the pros and cons of modular construction.

“By adopting this approach, contractors can reduce the impact of inclement weather conditions and other factors that delay the project timeline,” they said.

Prefabricated components have become mainstream in the transportation industry for bridge construction, drainage systems and modular pavement installs.

On bridge projects, the most common modular components include beams, girders, deck segments and pier caps, according to Ryan.

The various pieces are manufactured off site and transported to the job for onsite assembly.

On water and wastewater projects, said Ryan, concrete pipes, boxes and drainage structures are installed to manage water flow around infrastructure.

Modular sections of pavement are quickly assembled on road and high projects to create durable driving surfaces, he said.

Why Prefab Construction Makes Sense

Prefabrication offers advantages in keeping a project on track, especially when schedule management is critical.

Prefabrication enhances site logistics by “streamlining the construction process,” said Ryan, particularly on job sites with limited space.

“Since prefabricated components are manufactured in controlled factory environments, the need for onsite storage of raw materials is drastically reduced.”

These components can be delivered just in time for installation, he said, minimizing the duration and extent of onsite material handling and storage.

The just-in-time delivery model benefits urban construction sites, where space is at a premium. Plus, the storage of excess materials on an urban site can impede traffic flow and increase safety hazards.

Ryan also pointed out that with immediate installation upon arrival of prefab parts, the construction timeline is accelerated. This rapid installation also reduces the environmental impact of material waste, he said.

“The reduction in onsite activity correlates with fewer disruptions to the surrounding community and a more organized and efficient job site,” said Ryan.

Precision, in both the manufactured component and the installation phase is improved with modular construction.

Ryan said building elements in a factory with precision equipment allows for greater control over measurements and tolerances.

This control, in turn, ensures each component is produced to exact specifications and with uniform quality, he said.

“Design tools and manufacturing technologies further enhance this accuracy, reducing human error and material discrepancies,” said Ryan.“This meticulous attention to detail guarantees that the components fit together seamlessly during installation.”

Quicker and more accurate installation results on the job site when modular components are assembled there as all parts are designed to connect perfectly

“The result is an overall increase in the quality of the fin-

ished structure, with reduced need for adjustments and rework,” said Ryan.

Risk management involves controlling variables and prefabrication offers control of nearly every variable in the component’s construction.

By shifting component construction from the job site to the “predictable confines” of a factory, prefabrication allows for a more methodical approach.

The timeline for construction “becomes more reliable, and quality checks can be conducted more thoroughly in a dedicated facility,” said Ryan.

With prefabrication, the risks associated with weather, site conditions and labor are mitigated before the components reach the building site, he added.

“These proactive measures ensure that potential problems are identified and resolved in advance.”

This, in turn, reduces the likelihood of costly and timeconsuming issues arising during the crucial stages of on-site assembly, said Ryan.

The construction method can virtually eliminate delays caused by adverse weather conditions or the need for specific environmental settings for materials.

“Moreover, the ability to conduct comprehensive testing and refine aesthetic details within a factory setting ensures that components arrive on-site,” said Ryan.

It also guarantees they arrive “in a state of near perfection, ready for immediate assembly.”

Frontloading the production and quality assurance phases in modular construction allows for parallel site prep, said Ryan, and expedites build time.

“The culmination of these factors is a streamlined construction process where speed is matched by an uncompromised commitment to quality,” he said.

Labor issues plague the construction industry. But one of the biggest benefits of prefab construction, in Ryan’s eyes, is maximized labor efficiency.

“By bringing together specialized labor in a controlled setting, construction teams can focus on precision and quality,” he said.

And they can operate in tandem without the distractions and variables found at traditional construction sites.

“This not only improves the quality of work but also enhances safety and reduces overall project costs, allowing specialists to focus on their craft,” he said.

Managing Risks Associated With Modular

For all its rewards, prefabrication is not without its risks. The process requires careful planning and consideration to fully realize the benefits.

Uneven Ground Solution...

MUSKOX Debuts T-Tach Torsion Attachment for Skid Steers

MUSKOX has released the T-Tach Torsion attachment, designed to deliver smoother, more efficient operations on uneven ground. First introduced in May 2025, the T-Tach is available to order direct from the company and through MUSKOX’s dealer network.

MUSKOX, based in Grand Forks, N.D., has built a reputation for durable, operatorfocused equipment. The company’s flagship MUSKOX Snowblower line showcases this commitment with back-drag technology, pivoting auger system, glide plates and rubber cutting edges that deliver safer, faster snow removal, according to MUSKOX. The T-Tach builds on that legacy of innovation.

Introducing T-Tach

The T-Tach is a torsion attachment engineered to complement, not replace, the equipment operators already own. It enhances performance and comfort while extending the life of existing implements, according to the company.

MUSKOX has released the T-Tach Torsion attachment, designed to deliver smoother, more efficient operations on uneven ground.

Key features include:

• Four independent torsion axles that flex to match uneven terrain, maintaining constant down pressure.

• Noise and vibration reduction, which improves operator comfort and reduces stress on the machine.

• Universal compatibility with any quick-attach plate up to 12,000 lbs., safe at speeds up to 20 mph.

• Enhanced ground contact, providing steadier, more consistent performance for snow removal, grading, scraping and more.

Joint Venture Improves 10.2-Mi. Stretch in Los Angeles

SEPULVEDA from page 1

The federal aid project is replacing sections of two lanes in each direction from Victory Boulevard to Mulholland Drive; repairing sections of other lanes along the primary corridor between West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley; restoring/replacing two overhead sign structures; replacing 98 sign panels; and upgrading 6,400 ft. of metal beam guardrail and nine curb ramps.

Matthew Osborne, C.A. Rasmussen’s project manager, said that the project includes more than 6 mi. of concrete pavement lane replacements, 45 individual slab replacement locations, 564,000 sq. yds. of existing concrete pavement grinding, 47,000 tons of HMA leveling course and 56,000 tons of RHMA cap.

“We are rehabilitating the primary corridor between West Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley — a route that experiences heavy, continuous traffic while serving crucial commuter and commercial needs, including access to the Los Angeles International Airport,” said Lauren Walike, a Caltrans public information officer. “[In addition to] improving the safety and mobility along I-405, [it] sustainably extends the pavement life. [The work will] result in the restoration of nearly 92 lane-miles overall. Additionally, [the new] roadside sign panels will improve wayfinding.”

The job went out to bid in September 2024 and was awarded in March 2025.

“This section of the I-405 is one of the heaviest-traveled corridors in California,” Osborne said. “As such, the roadway has been deteriorating in several areas, resulting in cracking and rutting in the existing pavement.”

“Other than the heavy traffic, the other challenges of this project will be 22 extended weekend closures where a large portion of the entire project’s work will take place,” Osbourne said. “Extensive planning and resources will be required to accomplish this.”

The JV is dealing with both concrete and asphalt lanes.

Crews installed K-rail barriers on June 24 along I-405 through the Sepulveda Pass. Night work, which involves lane closures, should run from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. with at least two lanes remaining open.

To expedite construction, there will be 20 to 25 55-hour extended weekend partial closures.

The JV has a sizable construction yard. Vanguard set up a concrete batch plant within it.

“On regular workdays, no major trucking activities are

anticipated between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.,” Walike said. “The contractors will have intermittent traffic lookouts while accessing the yard to ensure safety of workers and motorists.

“Nearby areas can expect noise sources, including backup alarms and truck activity. The contractors will comply with the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and implement dust control and street sweeping as needed. It may set up a batch plant to produce aggregates and/or concrete.”

Crews operated in the Sepulveda Pass area of I-405 for about six weeks in anticipation of the first extended weekend closure.

At this point, the JV has completed several lanes between Sunset and Wilshire boulevards. Over the next six months, crews will cover between Mulholland Drive and Wilshire Boulevard.

The overall work job is not without its challenges.

“This project is using a barrier transfer machine — a road dipper machine — that transplants a barrier into a live lane,” Osborne said. “We’re using it for the 55-hour lane closures. It is pretty new to the industry and something we have not used before. We‘re getting the hang of it now. This system picks up 40-inch pieces of barrier and places them laterally up to 18 feet without the use of a crane.

“It has been used in a couple of major cities, such as the

George Washington Bridge in New York City, to open up southbound and northbound lanes during the day. They have been used in San Diego as well. It is definitely easier and faster to set than standard K-rail.

C.A. Rasmussen and Vanguard have partnered on previous projects.

“We just finished a project with them on I-605 with a similar project scope,” said Osborne. “It went well.”

Vanguard is responsible for the concrete pavement and the approach slabs.

“In August, we began the work on the approach slabs,” Osborne said. “It will continue through December, and then we ‘ll move over to the other phase to start on the lane replacements.”

The approach slab element uses operators with excavators for demolition and structural backfill.

The asphalt and concrete pavement repairs and replacement of sections of I-405 are ongoing.

“We‘re completing the paving during the extended weekend closures,” said Osborne, “while Vanguard is working on the approach slabs with the movable barrier system when the road is closed. There are also nightly closures for asphalt paving, along with cold and base-course paving, insulation of the rubberized course and the HMA paving.

Schweiss Makes 228 Liftstrap Bifold Doors for Dubai Builder

A residential paradise is growing out of the desert in Dubai, and Schweiss Doors is playing a major role in creating this new residential Eden.

Nad Al Sheba Gardens, a new neighborhood from real estate developer Meraas, will provide luxury living in the fast-growing city of the United Arab Emirates.

Schweiss Doors was contracted by Dosteen Doors and Engineering Services to provide 228 liftstrap bifold doors for Nad Al Sheba Gardens. The bifolds will be used as garage doors for the new homes and vary in size ranging from 18 to nearly 25 ft. wide and between 8 to 10 ft. high. Crews from Dosteen install the bifold doors and clad them in an aluminum ribbed paneling that coordinates with the community’s modern design.

This huge order of doors required coordination and communication between Dosteen and the team at Schweiss Doors over several months. The doors were split into two different orders, and shop drawings for each door had to be created and approved, a process that took about a month for each order of doors.

Once the drawings were approved by Dosteen, Schweiss could begin manufacturing the doors. Construction of the first 93 doors started in July 2024 and was completed in March, just as the building of the second order of 135 doors began. All of the doors are planned to be completed by the end of summer.

On Aug. 4, representatives from Dosteen and Nad Al Sheba Gardens came to Schweiss Doors to get a first-hand look at the operation and check in on the progress of the second order of doors. The visit included a tour of the man-

ufacturing facilities at Schweiss, as well as a meeting with company ownership and members of the sales and design team. The visit was a success, and the second order of doors will soon begin the long trip to Dubai.

Dosteen set up the shipping for all the doors, and it isn’t a short journey.

It begins at Schweiss Doors in Hector, Minn., where the doors are loaded into shipping containers and delivered to a port on the East Coast of the United States. The containers are then loaded on to a shipping freighter and travel across the ocean to a port in Oman.

The final leg of the journey gets the doors to Dubai and the busy construction site of the Nad Al Sheba Gardens. The first order of doors has already reached the site, and installation is well under way.

The Gardens, when completed, will have both standalone villas and townhomes along with a long list of amenities including swimming pools, running trails, parks, retail spaces and a

Number one of Ryan’s list is interface management — ensuring prefabricated components from different production sites fit together perfectly upon assembly.

Some materials are more forgiving when it comes to misaligned connection points, said Ryan. Wood and steel are two examples.

But, he said, regardless of the material prefabrication requires meticulous planning and precision engineering to avoid costly on-site adjustments.

“Successful interface management eliminates potential errors in manufacturing and is pivotal in maintaining project timelines and budgets.”

The next modular construction con is liability, which Ryan said can be challenging in prefab construction.

This challenge happens particularly when issues arise from interface management discrepancies.

“The responsibility for components that do not seamlessly integrate … should be clearly defined by the contractual agreements,” he said. “It is important for all parties involved, from the general contractor to the modular fabricator, to understand where liability rests for each element.”

Contractors should make sure project contracts clearly outline responsibility for defects or mismatches. This will ensure that parties are aware of their obligations and potential liabilities from the outset, said Ryan.

“In industries such as oil and gas, it is common for the general contractor to assume the bulk of the risk,” he said.

“This centralized liability model ensures accountability but also empowers the contractor to factor this risk into their

Prefab Construction Process Requires Consideration

pricing structure.”

By proactively managing contracts and liabilities, said Ryan, prefab construction can maintain its efficiency advantage.

At the same time, the construction method can assure equitable risk distribution among stakeholders.

The transportation and storage of project components are often the greatest limitations to prefab construction.

“Virtually anything can be prefabricated with the right equipment, sufficient space and adequate infrastructure to transport it,” Ryan said.

But the unique challenges of transporting oversized components, such as wind turbine blades or bridge sections, requires careful planning and coordination.

Ryan believes the success of a prefab project can be credited to logistics as much as the actual construction.

“For example, the average prefabricated blade for a wind turbine is about 120 feet long,” he said.

That is more than double the length of a typical tractor tailor, already difficult to navigate through turns in many suburban areas, he said.

“Transporting an item of this size requires specialized route planning, considering the increased turning radius and weight of the item.”

Ryan believes that most often the limitations of prefabrication are due to restraints in both manufacturing and transportation.

“If an item is being carried across a bridge, will it support the weight?” he said.

And, if the item has to be hoisted into place, is the crane

powerful enough to get it there?

“These are the types of questions that need to be answered before committing to a specific prefab project,” said Ryan.

Finally, there are design changes. “If there’s one thing that is virtually guaranteed on any construction project, it’s change,” said the civil engineer.

Whether it’s differing site conditions, material availability or design considerations, even small changes can render prefab components unusable, he said.

“Prefabricated components are manufactured based on design specifications and site assessments.”

As a result, said Ryan, any discrepancies between the expected and actual site conditions can lead to complications.

“For instance, unusual soil characteristics or subterranean obstructions may require on-the-fly adjustments to prefabricated foundation elements,” he said. “Similarly, design changes made after the commencement of prefab production can lead to costly rework.”

Changes can even render existing components unusable if they no longer align with the revised design.

That’s why stringent design freeze policies are often implemented on construction projects, in addition to thorough and regular site evaluations.

“Despite these challenges, the key to successful prefab construction lies in diligently managing the design phase,” said Ryan.

It also lies in ensuring comprehensive site analysis to prevent expensive and time-consuming setbacks, he added.  CEG

John Deere Offers Path Snow Removal Mapping Solution

“Snow removal, especially in rural areas where visibility can be hindered, requires accuracy for safe and efficient operations.”

Matt Costello John Deere

John Deere introduced John Deere Path, a mapping solution designed to help operators navigate snow removal operations with precision.

Snow-covered roadways present significant challenges, making it critical for operators to clear them effectively. With John Deere Path, operators gain a better sense of road edges and boundaries, when premapped, even in tumultuous winter weather conditions, according to John Deere

“Snow removal, especially in rural areas where visibility can be hindered, requires accuracy for safe and efficient operations,” said Matt Costello, product marketing manager, John Deere. “With a large percentage of U.S. roads located in snow-prone regions, John Deere Path is designed to give operators the confidence to navigate snow-covered roads, helping them stay on course to complete their work safely and reliably.”

Built on the technology of the John Deere StarFire receiver and G5 display technologies, John Deere Path, an option on John Deere motor graders and other plow equipment, provides operators with the ability to pre-map road boundaries before snowfall, creating precise guidance routes automatically sent to the John Deere Operations Center. During snow events, near real-time maps help operators maintain alignment with road edges, with audible alerts warning if the equipment moves too close to premapped boundaries, helping to reduce acci-

dent risks and infrastructure damage.

The G5 universal display provides a clear, intuitive interface for confident navigation. Operators can visualize road edges and follow a guidance track overlayed on satellite imagery, with a visual error bar alerting them to deviations and excessive drift. When road boundaries and obstacles are pre-mapped, the system also enhances obstacle awareness, such as mailboxes and curbs, while enabling operators to track and document completed work for efficiency, according to John Deere. Points of interest can be added at any time for changes on route or marking potential road maintenance areas after snow.

John Deere Operations Center plays a critical role in snow removal management. All mapped routes and completed work data are seamlessly integrated into the platform. John Deere Operations Center provides insights into total area plowed, machine location, duration of work and fuel usage when available, allowing fleet managers to make informed decisions and efficient resource allocation, according to John Deere.

John Deere Path is available as two optional solutions to meet the needs of a variety of operations. John Deere Path is specifically designed for John Deere motor graders, offering integration with machines

from model year 2016 and newer. For customers with mixed fleets and older models, John Deere Path Universal offers a modem for a fully closed-loop system, making it compatible with a variety of other machines like plow trucks. By leveraging advanced mapping and precision technology, John Deere Path delivers a way to manage snow removal operations. With enhanced accuracy, improved operator awareness and integrated fleet management capabilities, John Deere Path helps keep roadways clear and communities moving.

Blue Diamond Attachments Announces New Snow Blower

Blue Diamond Attachments announced the launch of an addition to its full line of snow removal attachments.

Available for skid steer loaders, the new Blue Diamond heavy duty snow blower provides excellent performance under both wet and dry snow conditions. With an 11-in. chute diameter, the new snow blower attachment is built to evacuate high volumes of snow quickly and comes in cutting widths from 62 to 96in.

Key features of the new Blue Diamond heavy-duty snow blower include:

• High tensile steel ribbon flighting. To deliver even the heaviest wet snow to the awaiting fan, the Blue Diamond snow blower uses machine formed hand welded 19-in. augers made with high tensile steel ribbon flighting to provide strength and durability.

• A five-blade fan. A standard 26-in. diameter five blade fan not only moves high volumes of snow quickly, but also features tighter tolerance to the housing increasing velocity of the snow exiting the chute.

• A manual pin-style deflector. Blue Diamond snow blowers come with a manual pin style deflector allowing a true set it and forget approach to blowing snow.

• Adjustable skid shoes. The heavy-duty snow blowers come equipped with adjustable

skid shoes extending the life of the cutting edge and helping to protect surfaces from damage commonly associated with snow removal.

• A hydraulic rotator. The hydraulic rotator on the chute is ideal for skid steer loaders with cabs or for contractors/property managers needing to make frequent adjustments.

• Hydraulic line check valves. The valves prevent reverse rotation and allow the motor to overrun after the valve is shut off.

• Various plug features. This feature allows for virtually any skid steer to be used with the heavy-duty snow blower.

“The addition of this heavy-duty snow blower to our line of snow removal attachments could not come at a better time for contractors and municipalities who are looking to update or upgrade their existing fleet,” said Drew Truan, chief operating officer of Blue Diamond Attachments. “Our new snow blower is compatible with most OEMs, it’s built to withstand the harshest of winters and it is supported by Blue Diamond and our extensive dealer network.”

The new heavy-duty snow blower attachment comes with the Blue Diamond satisfaction guarantee and are backed by a 1-year warranty.

Larson Debuts LCT-7500 E Electric Fiber Installation Trailer

Larson Cable Trailers introduced the electric LCT-7500 E, the first electric-powered fiber installation trailer that delivers the efficiency, durability and reliability crews demand while addressing the industry’s growing need for sustainable equipment solutions, according to Larson.

The fiber optic cable installation industry has traditionally relied on gas-powered equipment, contributing to emissions and noise at job sites across the country. Larson Cable Trailers’ electric LCT-7500 E offers an alternative that addresses these environmental concerns while maintaining and improving operational performance.

Moving Beyond Gas-Powered Operations

Gas-powered cable installation trailers have been the industry standard, but they come with environmental costs:

• direct emissions from engine operation during cable pulling and setup;

• fuel consumption across multiple daily job sites; and

• engine noise that can disrupt residential and commercial areas.

Practical Environmental Benefits

The electric LCT-7500 E addresses these issues directly:

Emission elimination: Zero on-site emissions from the trailer itself, reducing the environmental impact of fiber installation projects.

Noise reduction: Significantly quieter operation improves working conditions for crews and

Industry influence: As contractors adopt electric equipment, it demonstrates that sustainable alternatives are viable for heavy-duty cable installation work.

Regulatory preparedness: Positions contractors ahead of potential emission regulations in urban areas and environmentally sensitive zones.

Market access: Enables contractors to bid on projects in areas with strict emission requirements or noise ordinances.

Broader Industry Impact

While individual trailer conversions provide localized benefits, wider adoption across the industry could meaningfully reduce the environmental footprint of fiber network expansion. The LCT-7500 E demonstrates that electric alternatives can meet the performance demands of cable installation work, according to Larson.

The transition to electric equipment represents a practical step forward for an industry essential to digital infrastructure development. The LCT-7500 E demonstrates that environmental responsibility and operational effectiveness can be effectively aligned in the fiber installation sector.

Project Uses Barrier Transfer Machine to Deal With Heavy Los Angeles Traffic

SEPULVEDA from page 27

The existing concrete pavement being replaced will be excavated to a depth of 2.1 ft. and replaced with 0.7 ft. of class 3 base, 0.35 ft. of LCB-RSC, and 1.05 ft of JPCP-RSC.

The new lanes are based on a JPCP-RCS, .75-in. WMA-SP and .75-in RHMA-G-SP.

The asphalt is being removed with a Wirtgen 200 cold milling machine. Concrete pavement will be removed with excavators.

The times for the concrete to cure and for the asphalt to settle vary.

For its paving operations, C.A. Rasmussen is using Hitachi 225 and CAT 345 excavators, a Roadtec paving machine and a Roadtec SB2500E shuttle buggy.

An additional aspect of the paving operation was the removal of two sections of Type 60 concrete barrier totaling 1,000 ft. This work was completed with a Cat 345 excavator with a hydraulic breaker.

The upgrading of the curb ramps will be a minor operation.

“They are all in the same locations, and the work will probably happen next spring,” said Osborne. “It‘s just breaking the back with a breaker, grading and pouring them back.”

The two overhead sign structures will be manufactured.

“They generally have a six-month lead time for structures of that size,” Osborne said.

The upgrading of the guardrail is scheduled for later in the project and should take about two months.

Weekend closures have 30 Rasmussen, 20 Vanguard and 10 subcontractor personnel on site. C.A. Rasmussen has hired close to 20 subcontractors.

Regarding recycling, the milled asphalt concrete will be sent to the asphalt plant to be recycled and reused in the production of HMA/RHMA.

CA Rasmussen has a large fleet, but this type of project can take a toll on equipment.

“We have a 24/7 mechanic on call,” Rasmussen said. “A lot of the wear and tear is mainly cutting edges and teeth on excavators, and then the hydraulic hoses on the breakers that

experience a lot of pressure. “We have our maintenance division that handles all of our equipment repairs. They‘ve been at it for a long time.”

C.A. Rasmussen rents much of its equipment from Sunbelt Rentals and buys machinery from Coastline Equipment.  CEG

Contractors in Arizona, Utah, Texas Receive Safety Awards

Transportation construction companies from three states were recognized Sept. 29, 2025, for their outstanding employee safety programs during the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s (ARTBA) national convention in Irving, Texas.

The annual ARTBA “Contractor Safety Awards” promote worker safety and health as core values of the transportation design and construction industry.

Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction of Draper, Utah, was named safety program “Grand Champion.” The judges were impressed with the firm’s achievement of consistent, year after year performance with nearly zero recordable injuries.

Companies were competitively selected based on their accident and injury rates on work sites as reported to the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA); their experience modification rates (EMRs) as determined by their insurance carriers; and their safety programs.

Finalists from four categories based on personnel hours worked in the previous year

were invited to present before a panel of industry judges.

Selection criteria also included demonstration of key principles of safety excellence including management commitment, employee participation, incident investigation, auditing, planning and risk assessment.

The awards were presented as follows:

Less than 500,000 personnel hours = J. Banicki Construction Inc., Phoenix, Ariz. 500,000 - 1 million = KE&G Construction Co., Tucson, Ariz.

1 million – 2 million = Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction, Draper, Utah

More than 2 million = Austin Bridge and Road, Coppell, Texas

The ARTBA Foundation “promotes research, education and public awareness” about the impacts of transportation investment. The foundation supports an array of initiatives, including educational scholarships, awards, professional development academies, roadway work zone safety and training programs, economic reports and an exhibition on transportation at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.

bidadoo, Clicklease Partner On Equipment Financing

bidadoo, a used equipment and truck auction provider, and Clicklease, a fintech company providing payment solutions in the commercial equipment space, announced a strategic partnership that will unlock small equipment financing in the bidadoo lender partner network.

This partnership will allow for easy and instant pre-approvals for buyers participating in bidadoo’s weekly no-reserve online auctions, the company’s said.

Through this partnership, customers can now get an instant pre-qualification before entering bidadoo’s weekly online auctions. The integration of Clicklease’s technologydriven platform enables near-instant prequalification, supporting a broad range of credit types, including startups, according to the companies. With no hard credit pull, bidders can get pre-approved and also include freight and handling costs in their lease, allowing them to bid with confidence to source quality equipment.

“At bidadoo, we’re committed to making equipment financing easier and more accessible for businesses of all sizes. By partnering with Clicklease, we’re giving our smallbusiness customers the ability to get preapproved instantly and bid with confidence in our weekly online auctions,” said Howard

Hawk, bidadoo’s president. “This collaboration continues our mission to provide trusted, transparent and technology-driven solutions that help businesses grow, all while providing the best buying experience anywhere — online or offline.”

“Clicklease’s technology-first approach is a perfect fit for bidadoo’s fast-paced weekly auction model,” said Alex Nash, president of Clicklease. “By offering pre-qualification in real time, we are helping more small businesses access the equipment they need to grow. We are excited to expand the ability for bidadoo customers to start or grow their small business.”

Since the pilot phase, the partnership has enabled many bidadoo customers to secure equipment financing quickly, making equipment more accessible than ever and supporting the growth of small and mid-sized businesses, said the companies.

According to a recent qualified applicant, “I was instantly approved up to $25,000 — the process was immediate. With just a few clicks and no credit pull, I was financially backed and ready to start bidding with confidence. It’s a great example of how two digital-first companies are making things simple and seamless for customers like me.”

Design-Build Conference & Expo Returns to Las Vegas

The Design-Build Institute of America (DBIA) will host the 2025 Design-Build Conference & Expo, Nov. 5–7 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, uniting the nation’s leading design-build innovators for three days of powerful programming, networking and celebration.

This year’s event opens with Carey Lohrenz, the first female F-14 Tomcat pilot, delivering a high-octane keynote on leadership, adaptability and resilience.

The conversation continues with Progressive Design-Build (PDB) for mega projects, a general session where national owners will share how they’re using PDB to deliver some of the country’s most complex infrastructure. AI expert and futurist Steve Brown closes the conference with a forwardlooking keynote on disruption and innovation.

Two optional pre-conference programs kick off the week on Nov. 4, including the Virtual Design & Construction Leadership

Exchange (VDCLEx), a half-day program on the role of VDC in design-build and introduction to P3 for the Design-Builder, a full-day course exploring public-private partnerships.

Once the main event begins, the expo hall’s 250-plus exhibitors will provide a vibrant hub for discovery, from new tools and products to hands-on demos and networking opportunities with industry leaders.

DBIA’s commitment to the next generation is front and center with dedicated student and young professional programming, including the National Design-Build Student Competition finals. The week culminates in DBIA’s Awards Dinner & Ceremony, honoring the nation’s best projects and teams, inducting the 2025 class of the DBIA College of Fellows and presenting the prestigious Brunelleschi Lifetime Achievement Award.
