Los Angeles County Sees Projects Conclude, Begin By Erik Pisor

CEG CORRESPODENT

October represented an important month for Los Angeles County highway construction, as a nearly $114 million high occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane project along State Route 60 was completed and a $140 million HOV lane project

on Interstate 5 broke ground. The $140.2 million project on I-5 will build nearly 7 mi. (11.3 km) — 3.4 mi. (5.5 km) in each direction — of new bus/carpool lanes between the Ronald Reagan Freeway (SR-118) and the Hollywood Freeway (SR-170). The project’s general contractor Flatiron West also will reconstruct see COUNTY page 8

By David Porter and Michael Rubinkam ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITERS NEWARK, New Jersey (AP) New Jersey’s governor wants to kill a $9 billion-plus train tunnel to New York City because of runaway costs. Far away, Hawaii’s outgoing governor is having second thoughts about a proposed $5.5 billion rail line in Honolulu. In many of the 48 states in between, infrastructure projects are languishing on the drawing board, awaiting the right mix of creative financing, political arm-twisting and timing to move forward. And a struggling economy and a surge of political candidates opposed to big spending could make it

a long wait. Has the nation that built the Hoover Dam, brought electricity to the rural South and engineered the massive interstate highway system lost its appetite for big public works projects? At a time when other countries are pouring money into steel and concrete, is the United States unwilling to think long-term? “My sense is things have changed,” said Andrew Goetz, a University of Denver professor and an expert on transportation policy. “People now tend to see any project as a waste of money, and that’s just wrong.” “I call it the Bridge to Nowhere syndrome,” he see PROJECTS page 27

Feds to Review Rules for Truck Fuel Efficiency WASHINGTON (AP) Future tractor-trailers, school buses, delivery vans, garbage trucks and heavy-duty pickup trucks must do better at the pump under first-ever fuel efficiency rules coming from the Obama administration. The Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department are moving ahead with a proposal for medium- and heavy-duty trucks, beginning with those sold in the 2014 model year and into the 2018 model year. The plan is expected to seek about a 20 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption from longhaul trucks, according to people familiar with the plan. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they did not want to speak publicly before the official announcement. Overall, the proposal is expected to seek reductions of 10 percent to 20 percent in fuel consumption and emissions based on the vehicle’s size. Large tractor-trailers tend to be driven up to 150,000 miles a year, making them ripe for improved miles per gallon. The rules will cover big rig tractortrailers, “vocational trucks” such as garbage trucks and transit and school buses, and work trucks such as heavyduty versions of the Ford F-Series, Dodge Ram and Chevrolet Silverado. The White House has pushed for tougher fuel economy standards across see RULES page 32

HOVLane Projects Shaping Highways in Los Angeles County COUNTY from page 1

the I-5/SR-170 connector, replace sections of concrete pavement, and widen four under crossings. “I-5 is the backbone of the state’s freeway system,” said Caltrans District 7 Director Mike Miles, adding this improvement project will significantly advance mobility within this important corridor. The project is slated for a spring 2015 completion. On Oct. 14 Caltrans announced the completion of the $113.9 million State Route 60/Pomona Freeway project by inaugurating 11.5 mi. (18.5 km) of new HOV lanes. The seven-stage, SR-60 project involved constructing one westbound and one eastbound HOV lane from the Route 57/60 Interchange to the Route 605/60 Interchange — an 11.5 mi. stretch of heavily traveled freeway — without eliminating existing lanes of traffic. The project also included construction of sound walls, the widening of numerous onand off-ramps and some bridgework. Beginning in June 2007 construction crews began work on stage one of the project, which included the construction of 24 sound walls and retaining walls; the widening of two bridges; the retrofitting of two

bridges; and the demolition of two pedestrian over-crossings, according to Tim Wilson, project executive for Skanska USA Civil West, the prime contractor and lowest qualified bidder. Following sound wall and bridge work, stage one also involved widening the existing SR-60 eastbound shoulder from 8 to 10 ft. (2.4 to 3 m) along the entire 11.5-mi. stretch. During construction, specialty equipment used included a pipe boring machine, asphalt pulverizers, hoe ram excavators, Hyram backhoe breakers, and a Lo-Drill attachment for CIDH piles, according to Wilson. Stage two of the project was broken into a “West” and “East” portion, with widening the westbound shoulder of SR-60 by 2 ft. (0.6 m) being the focus of the “West” portion. Once the westbound shoulder widening was complete, construction crews began work on the “East” half of the second stage, which included the removal of the existing eastbound median barrier rail and asphalt shoulder to make way for the eastbound HOV lane. Following removal of the barrier rail and shoulder, crews constructed a new concrete pavement roadway section, which now

serves as the eastbound HOV lane, and installed new barrier rails. Aside from specialty equipment, other equipment used on the project included: Caterpillar 950 and 966 loaders, 330 excavators, 446 backhoes, Bobcat 328 and Caterpillar 314 excavators, Commander III/Gomaco 2500 paving machines, 45-ton truck cranes, 35-ton rough terrain cranes, 613 scrapers, manlifts, bottom dumps, ten wheelers, super 10s, forklifts, boom trucks and traffic control trucks. Stage three of construction represented the first of four, 60-day ramp closures. Each stage of ramp closures affected specific on- and off- ramps along a certain portion of the 11.5-mi. stretch.

The closures ensured that the elevated ramps would be reconstructed so they tied into the newly widened portions of freeway. Following the 60-day ramp closures, westbound median construction occurred, which consisted of barrier removal and roadway excavation of the existing median asphalt concrete — similar to what occurred along the eastbound portion of freeway during stage two. Stage seven also involved construction of the westbound HOV lane and the installation of new barrier railing. Wilson said at its peak, the project had 130 to 150 craft union personnel onsite. Because more than half of the 11.5-mi. see COUNTY page 44

Case Construction Equipment Launches Four New Backhoes Case Construction Equipment Sept. 22 launched a complete update of its loader/backhoe product line, introducing four new N Series loader/backhoe models. The event took place at the company’s Tomahawk Customer Center in Tomahawk, Wis. The new Case 580N, 580 Super N, 580 Super N Wide Track and 590 Super N backhoes replace the company’s M Series 3 product line. The new machines all feature 4.5-L, turbocharged engines, ranging from 79 hp (59 kW) in the 580N to 108 hp (80.5 kW) in the 590SN. “The N Series was engineered from the ground up,” said Rob Marringa, marketing manager, Case Construction Equipment. “We’ve taken the flagship product of the Case lineup and delivered best-in-class performance from back to front. The new N Series really is ‘stronger everywhere.’ The N Series extends a legacy of loader/backhoe leadership that began when Case introduced the industry’s first factory-integrated loader/backhoe in 1957.” Case Power Lift Boosts Backhoe Capacity “One new feature that is a real game-changer on the N Series is Case-exclusive Power Lift,” said Marringa. “Power Lift channels the hydraulic power directly to the boom with

the touch of a button. As a result, our backhoe lifting capabilities outperform competitive models by as much as 39 percent — while running at low engine RPMs.” The increased backhoe strength takes new N Series performance beyond the previous M Series models, according to the manufacturer. A new fabricated boom design increases strength while maintaining the over-center design. Backhoe bucket pins are larger and stronger to accommodate the improved lift capacities. Meanwhile, the N Series continues its maintainability with triple bushings and floating pins. By providing lift capabilities comparable The Case N Series machines feature increased loader breakout and to a 5-ton (4.5 t) excavator, with enhanced lift. The redesigned loader arms are stronger and longer, enabling the dig depths, the N Series loader/backhoes bucket to dump into the center of a truck for more efficient loading. may eliminate the need to trailer an excavator to the job site. “During our extensive R&D process, we enlisted equipment operators throughout North America to test the N Series enhancements,” explained Marringa. “Comments from Dennis Zentner, DRZ Contracting, in Delta, British Columbia, were typical. He told us, ‘The 580SN WT backhoe performed well on grading, trenching, backfilling, heavy lifting, hole-patching and rock-breaking. Its heavy-lifting ability is fantastic. It will save me from using an excavator for lifting.’”

Power Lift delivers backhoe lift capabilities equivalent to a 5.5 ton (5 t) excavator and the dig depth of an 8.2 ton (7.5 t) excavator.

N Series Features Increased Loader Lift, Breakout, Reach The Case N Series machines also deliver more power to the loader, for increased breakout and lift capabilities. The new loader arms are stronger and longer, providing greater loader reach. This lets operators dump material into the center of a truck for faster loading and increased payloads, according to the manufacturer. see CASE page 16

The four new N Series loader/backhoe models, including the 590 Super N, offer increases in backhoe breakout force and lift, along with increased loader breakout force, lift and reach.

Tomahawk Customer Center Provides Demonstrations, Training in North Woods Setting The Tomahawk Customer Center, a 500-acre facility located in Wisconsin’s north woods, provides hands-on product demonstrations and training for more than 2,000 visitors each year and has been serving Case customers, dealers and employees for more than 60 years.

N Series Introduces All-New Transmission Technologies CASE from page 12

Ion Warner, senior director of marketing, North America Case Construction, welcomes the media to Tomahawk, Wis.

Rob Marringa, marketing manager of Case Construction, explains the road course on which the Case N Series backhoe will perform with a full bucket to the media.

Tr a n s m i s s i o n , H y d r a u l i c S y s t e m I m p ro v e m e n t s The Case N Series introduces a new transmission family, the Powershift S-Type, Powershift HType and Powershuttle options. All transmission choices are available on the 580SN, 580SN WT and 590SN. The 580N offers the Powershift SType and Powershuttle transmissions. The two Powershift transmissions include four forward and three reverse gears, and the Powershuttle transmission offers four forward and four reverse gears. The Powershift transmission provides a standard kick-down feature and introduces SmartClutch modulation. The SmartClutch feature lets operators customize the transition from forward to reverse to meet the demands of their specific application. The N Series machines deliver improved cycle times and efficiencies through the new Variable Volume Hydraulic (VVH) System. The VVH System operates at a lower temperature than competitive hydraulic systems. The 580N continues to offer a single gear pump open hydraulic system. A new auxiliary hydraulic system for powering attachments includes flow control as a standard feature, automatically matching hydraulic flow to the needs of the attachments. Additionally, hoses are routed inside of the boom structure to provide greater protection for applications such as demolition. These improvements in hydraulics also help achieve greater fuel efficiency, according to the manufacturer. Marringa added that Case backhoes have always given contractors a solution for excavating, digging, carrying and loading. “A loader/backhoe’s versatility includes the ability to drive to a job site. The Case machines can travel at up to 24 miles per hour – and the over-center backhoe design makes travel smoother.”

N e w C a b I m p ro v e s V i s i b i l i t y, Airf l o w, C o m f o rt Several new comfort and safety features in the N Series loader/backhoes boost operator productivity.

Case N Series Extends Backhoe Legacy The introduction of the Case N Series loader/backhoe product line writes the most recent chapter in a 50-plus-year history that began in 1957 with the industry’s first factory-integrated tractor loader/backhoe, the Case 320. While success may have a thousand fathers, the birth of the loader/backhoe can be reasonably credited to one man, Elton Long, a mechanical engineer who joined Case in 1956 as part of the company’s acquisition of American Tractor Corp (ATC). During his 28 years with Case, Long received 46 patents for his work in designing and improving construction equipment. His biggest impact on the company and the industry came soon after the Case-ATC merger, when Long led the team that developed the first fully factory-integrated loader/backhoe. At the 1956 Road Show expo, ATC included in its exhibit a Case 300 crawler loader that featured a backhoe attachment. This one-of-a-kind hybrid attracted enough attention that Case decided to produce a combined loader/backhoe model. The task fell to Elton Long and his team, whose creation was launched as the Case 320 loader/backhoe, with Case shipping the first factory-built unit on Feb. 26, 1957. A new product category was born. Industry Contribution The original Case loader/backhoe provided many advantages over the retrofit approaches of other manufacturers. The integrated loader/backhoe was compact and easy to handle in a variety of applications, including jobs previously done by hand. Its integral design took into account the different types of loading, digging and carrying requirements that the machine would experience, and resulted in a manufactured product tough enough to withstand the combined stresses of these various applications. Prior to the Case loader/backhoe introduction, typical loaders and backhoes of that era were not used in heavy construction. Loaders were mostly used in agriculture, rarely lifting anything heavier than manure or hay bales. Neither loaders nor backhoes had much digging capacity. The integrated

loader/backhoe helped contractors reduce costs, increase productivity and handle more work with less equipment. In addition to being the first machine of its kind, the loader/backhoe featured components that were all Case products, enabling quick design changes and testing, as well as a single warranty to cover the entire machine. Generations of Leadership The Case loader/backhoe history has included a number of important “firsts” — such as the Extendahoe extendible dipper stick, return-to-dig and return-to-travel functionality, ride control, side lighting and the Case trademark over-center boom design. Decades of continuous product development have led to the Case N Series introduction. The Case loader/backhoe evolution includes many milestones: • The Case Construction King backhoes of the mid-1960s added hydrostatic steering, heavy-duty axles and steering cylinders and innovations such as automatic self-leveling and semiautomatic return-to-dig. Also new was the reverse-linkage loader bucket design that greatly enhanced digging power and grading efficiency. • The Case 580CK, launched in 1969, featured a number of advancements, including the hydraulic Extendahoe extendible dipper stick. Also making its first appearance on the 580CK was the “side-shift” backhoe design, still offered on European models, which allowed the backhoe to slide from side to side on the back of the chassis, enabling easier use in close quarters. • The Case B Series loader/backhoes of the early 1970s introduced the “over-center” backhoe design, patented by Case and Elton Long in 1968. This allowed the boom and cylinders to rest forward of the upright position, moving the center of gravity to the front for better stability during roading and trailering. • Also in the early 1970s, Case introduced the 780CK, the first loader/backhoe with a unitized frame. This machine was capable of withstanding higher stress, load and break see LEGACY page 34

Crushing, Screening & Recycling Section Norco Equipment Takes Unique Approach in Tough Times Norco Equipment was formed quietly in the spring of 2008, when a team of industry insiders slowly began building the company’s foundation while they defined their game-changing business philosophy. According to Bill Van Sant, chairman of Norco LLC, the parent to Norco Equipment, the group began by acquiring companies that were creating highly original customerfocused equipment for niche industries that were clearly in search of new ideas. “Norco Equipment was founded on two key principles,” said Van Sant. “First, we will only manufacture value-engineered and differentiated products that deliver the reliable performance customers need at a price they can afford. Second, we will recruit people who have the knowledge and passion for their industry to provide the kind of service support that can help our dealers and customers succeed in their business.” The result is a “customer-first” culture that Van Sant and his executive team are nurturing throughout the Norco organization, from product design to dealer service. “In today’s economic environment,” Van Sant said, “building your business model around the customer is really a game-changing concept.”

The Puma 612 forwarder and the Dynamic 5240 grinder are just two of the products leading the way for Norco Equipment.

Norco’s philosophy of innovation centers on Lou Holtz’often-quoted “Platinum Rule” — an update to the traditional Golden Rule. “We are usually told we should ‘treat others like you want to be treated.’At Norco we say, ‘treat customers like they want to be treated,” said Van Sant. In today’s tough economy, customers are looking to their dealers and manufacturers for more help with their business, while many OEMs are tightening up dealer service

Norco Aims to ‘Change the Game’

Norco Equipment markets the Puma and Dynamic equipment brands for forestry, bioenergy, recycling, demolition, solid waste and related industries. Its strategy of investing in respected niche manufacturers has consolidated the product lines and capabilities of companies including Lane, K2, G&R, ADC Global and Dynamic. Through its parent, Norco LLC, Norco Equipment also enjoys a close channel to Norco Attachments. However, the chairman of Norco LLC, Bill Van Sant, feels that the scope of the product lineup alone will not be Norco Equipment’s key to success. Along with the equipment, Norco Equipment brings together a vast wealth of industry expertise. Operating as an integrated, multi-line OEM, he said, Norco Equipment has the resources to fulfill its promise of “treating customers the way they want to be treated,” with responsive service and application support. “We are serving very unique market niches, often in new business operations and with new business operators. We not only offer them a full range of equipment for their complete production process, we have the right people and expertise to help them make their processes profitable,” he said. “That’s the game changer.”

and aftermarket support to keep their own costs in check. Putting the customer first at Norco Equipment means restoring a high level of personal service to high value products. “We are in a great position to make a difference,” Van Sant explained, “simply because we aren’t carrying any baggage from the past. We don’t have old habits to overcome. We have the freedom to make our investments where they do the most good for the customer.” As an example, Van Sant cited the new Puma and Dynamic equipment lines that Norco Equipment is now introducing. “We assembled a complete bioenergy product line, bringing together equipment from different specialized companies and giving them a new home under one roof. The Puma and Dynamic lines make us the first OEM to offer a complete ‘stump to chip’ solution for this market. The individual products are well made and well proven, but under the new brands they are now part of a complete business solution for contractors.” The Puma and Dynamic lineups offer a similar capability for cut-to-length wood processors and firewood operations. Customers in each of these businesses are working to develop an integrated production process that suits their local operation and market. “Instead of ‘innovating’ for its own sake,” Van Sant continued, “we are investing in the right personnel to go into the field and help them put together customized solutions.”

A Different Approach Requires a Different Culture Leading the “customer first” crusade at Norco Equipment are Don Dubey, president and CEO, and Chuck Dull, senior vice president sales and marketing — two men building on a lifetime of achievement in the equipment industry. Supporting them is a team of industry professionals providing a high level of expertise with varied equipment technologies and processes. While bringing together a broad collection of small companies to form a larger organization, said Dubey, Norco Equipment is determined to continue operating like a small company. “Our people are empowered to make decisions quickly,” he explained. “They have ingrained knowledge of the equipment and their customers’ businesses. We can utilize their field experience to provide the attention to detail and superior service that a customer would expect from a small company. At the same time, our field staff and dealers can offer their customers the peace-ofmind that comes from being backed by the resources of a large company. We are giving our people the mandate and the confidence to treat customers the way they, not the company, would like to be treated.” A Fresh Start and a New Name Norco Equipment has assembled a lineup of products for the emerging bioenergy sector. It has taken it a step further by reengineering the equipment and reintroducing it under a new shared brand. “We took a long and hard look at the opportunities in bioenergy and related markets, driven by rising demand for alternate forms of power generation,” said Dubey. “To meet the demand for pellets and liquid biofuels, we knew contactors would be investing in tree harvesting, chipping, grinding, and screening equipment. We also could see that there wasn’t a single OEM able to support the entire process with equipment or expertise.” Contactors entering the new industry had no choice but to shop around and try to assemble production systems on their own. “Norco Equipment is positioned to help customers simplify their purchasing and see NORCO page 20

Norco Equipment Makes Most of ‘Less Is More’Approach NORCO from page 17

improve their process with a coordinated approach,” said Dull. Norco Equipment’s newly branded Puma line offers contractors a single source for harvesters, forwarders, CTL processors and firewood processors as well as complementary chippers, grinders and trommel screens from the Dynamic equipment line — another new Norco Equipment brand. “There is nowhere else a forestry/bioenergy operator can acquire a complete ‘stump to chip’ solution like this, complete with endto-end factory service support,” said Dull. ‘Dynamic’ Innovation for Customers On the Move While the recent economy has created difficulties for most traditional equipment markets, Van Sant said the industry shakeup has opened doors for Norco Equipment. “Contractors have gone looking for opportunities to replace former revenue streams. Many are turning to niche industries and specializations that didn’t exist before. Our products were created in response to the changing needs in these areas. For instance, the equipment in the Puma lineup serves distinct new segments operating within forestry industry. The Dynamic brand, meanwhile, focuses on new niches that have emerged as the recycling and demolition industries continue to grow and diversify. With these specialized businesses comes the demand for more specialized equipment and solutions for more increased revenue stream opportunities. With a little customization, grinders, chippers and screens found in biofuel operations are making their way into waste processing facilities and demolition sites, where densifying and grinding material is increasingly part of daily operations. Until now, these niche industries have been served by entrepreneurial insiders who applied their insight to design machinery uniquely suited to its task. Norco Equipment’s start-up strategy was to seek out the best of these and get them working together. “What these companies needed was strong leadership, marketing expertise, a common vision and the financial resources to grow,” stated Van Sant. “In most cases, we still have the original founders on board. Their industry knowledge is crucial to Norco Equipment’s strategy of delivering value to customers.” A common theme of each acquisition made by Norco Equipment is that the equipment produced by each company was wellmade and purpose-built, with no frills. “Our Puma and Dynamic brands simply offer high quality machines with customer-

friendly features at an affordable price,” commented Dull. “Our value-engineering promise means we don’t invest engineering resources in bells and whistles. Our engineers are challenged to make basic equipment more productive, more reliable or more cost-efficient to manufacture and service. If it doesn’t add value for customers, we don’t do it.” Dubey pointed out that, while the Puma and Dynamic lines were all built around existing, field-proven equipment, Norco Equipment is continuing to invest in product development. “We didn’t just paint the guarding and change the name on the side of the gear,” he said. “We are taking the next step to ensure consistency across the line, to simplify servicing and make sure every piece reflects our brand values.” Walking the Talk Norco Equipment’s “less is more” approach to product design also is reflected in its staffing. Like its customers who move quickly on the opportunities they see, Norco Equipment is built to move quickly too. “We set about hiring the right people and putting a strong support infrastructure in place,” Dubey continued. “We have a very experienced team of sales engineers and business consultants on the front lines. They are out there with our dealers and customers to develop solutions for their productivity challenges. And they also have a very direct line back to the factory to make things happen. We are relying on the quality of our people, not our number of people, to create success.” To deliver on the brand promise of aftersales service and support, Norco Equipment has developed regional centers coordinated through a central support center, located in Oconto Falls, Wis. The regional centers are charged with handling all customer sales, parts support, and field service functions. The central support center provides diagnostics support for the regional centers, dealers, and end-users along with warranty administration, certified training, and product orientation for end-users. Certified training programs and product orientation are key services that small equipment companies can rarely afford, but Norco Equipment sees this level of service as a prime example of its “game changing” business philosophy. This is where the Norco Equipment team steps up to the plate,” said Dubey. “Supporting the Norco Equipment product lines regionally with superior parts and service, expert application support, plus all the resources of the Central Support Center — these capabilities will truly set Norco Equipment apart in the markets we serve.”

PROJECTS from page 1

added. “High-profile projects get publicized and they become a symbol for any infrastructure project that’s out there, and even the ones that are justified get tarnished by the same charge.” The so-called Bridge to Nowhere would have cost hundreds of millions of dollars to connect one Alaskan town to an island of 50 residents. It figured in the 2008 presidential election when then-Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was criticized for initially backing the plan, which was eventually scrapped. The other cautionary tale is Boston’s Big Dig, the highway and tunnel project that was originally envisioned at less than $3 billion and wound up costing nearly $15 billion. The Big Dig has made it far easier for motorists to get to and from Boston’s airport, and it eliminated a noisy and unsightly elevated highway that cast a shadow over some historic neighborhoods. But construction was plagued by years of delays, corruption and shoddy workmanship that resulted in the death of a motorist in a ceiling collapse. Other countries are spending heavily on job-creating infrastructure. Projects include Algeria’s $11.2 billion eastwest highway; a planned $10 billion bridge linking the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra; and China’s $60 billion Yangtze River diversion project. Australia plans to spend $38 billion to relieve traffic congestion in Melbourne, while Britain is preparing for a $45 billion high-speed rail link between London and the West Midlands. Japan is building a $70 billion highway from Tokyo to Osaka, scheduled for completion in 2020. A report this month by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Council of Economic Advisers paints a picture of a country dissatisfied with the state of America’s aging infrastructure and in favor of improvements, but not necessarily eager to commit the dollars to fix it. Infrastructure spending in the United States stands at 2 percent of the country’s gross domestic product — half what it was in 1960 — compared with approximately 9 percent in China and 5 percent for Europe, according to the government report. “During recessions it is common for state and local governments to cut back on capital projects — such as building schools, roads and parks — in order to meet balanced budget requirements,” the report concluded. “However, the need for improved and expanded infrastructure is just as great during a downturn as it is during a boom.” The American Society of Civil Engineers calculated that the United States would need to spend an additional $1.1 trillion over the next five years to restore roads, bridges, dams, levees and other infrastructure to good condition. In its latest report card, the engineering society gave the nation’s public works a “D” grade. “Somehow we believe if we ignore it, it will go away,” said Blaine Leonard, the society’s president. “And it won’t. We have to stop hitting the snooze button on this problem.” He said now is a good time to spend money on infrastructure because construction companies in this weak economy are hungry for work and the costs are relatively low as a result. Major infrastructure projects of the past benefited from strong leadership, notably the interstate highway system pushed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower in the 1950s, he said. Today, though, “there isn’t any high-level leadership about infrastructure,” so there’s no agreement about priorities, Leonard said. CG/LA Infrastructure LLC, a Washington consulting firm, recently put together a list of the worthiest 100 large infrastructure projects in North America, totaling about $400 billion. Among the suggestions: a next-generation air traffic

control system; high-speed rail linking Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Chicago; a pair of highway projects in Texas; and the tunnel that New Jersey’s governor has threatened to scuttle. To be sure, there are large-scale projects under way, notably in California, where a combination of federal dollars and voter-approved bonds and local tax increases are funding improvements, from highway widening to the $6.2 billion renovation of the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland. And recently, Arizona and Nevada hailed the opening of a $240 million bridge that bypasses Hoover Dam. However, many projects recently completed or in the pipeline secured funding before the economy went into a slide. Some of them might not be approved today. In New Jersey, construction on a rail tunnel connecting New Jersey and New York City — the largest transportation project under way in the United States — began in 2009 under then-Gov. Jon Corzine, a Democrat. It is projected to double train capacity at peak times as well as provide 6,000 construction jobs immediately and up to 40,000 jobs after its completion in 2018. About $6 billion of the cost is being covered by the federal government and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. In early October, Republican Gov. Chris Christie announced he was pulling the plug because the cost had escalated from $5 billion in 2005 to more than $9 billion by the federal government’s estimate, and as much as $14 billion by Christie’s reckoning. “I simply cannot put the taxpayers of the state of New Jersey on what would be a never-ending hook,” he said. Christie later agreed to reconsider. In Hawaii, Republican Gov. Linda Lingle announced recently that she wouldn’t sign off on a federally subsidized rail line until an updated economic study is conducted. And that may not be completed before she leaves office in less than two months. That means the project’s fate could be in her successor’s hands. In Seattle, new Mayor Mike McGinn is threatening to hold up construction of a massive highway tunnel to replace the waterfront’s dilapidated, earthquake-damaged Alaskan Way Viaduct because he fears city taxpayers will be on the hook if costs spiral beyond the $4.2 billion price tag. “The issue of the overall cost of the tunnel has been a concern to voters since before the recession, and I think the severity of the state’s and the city’s fiscal situation is causing people to take a harder look at ... an expensive and risky project,” McGinn said. In Wisconsin, Ohio and California, Republican candidates for governor have vowed they won’t endorse high-speed rail projects, despite the promise of billions of dollars from Washington. In the United States, it often takes a catastrophe to give infrastructure improvements more urgency. The Minneapolis bridge collapse in 2007 that killed 13 people prompted reviews of aging bridges around the country. “Unfortunately, our attention span is short,” Leonard said. “You would think the Minneapolis bridge collapse would have sent repercussions throughout the system that would have resulted in a transportation funding bill, but it didn’t. Even bridge funding bills didn’t get through Congress.” Consultant Norman Anderson of CG/LA Infrastructure said the federal government’s recent emphasis on smaller, “shovel-ready” projects to stimulate the economy is misguided and shows a lack of vision. “You don’t do ‘shovel-ready.’That is idiotic and extremely uninformed,” he said in an e-mail. “You do projects now because they produce value for an economy 20 to 30 years into the future, as well as producing immediate jobs.”

the nationâ€™s fleet as a way to reduce dependence on oil and cut greenhouse gas emissions tied to global warming. The fleet of new cars, pickup trucks and SUVs will need to reach 35.5 mpg by 2016, and the government is developing plans for future vehicle models that could push the standards to 47 to 62 mpg by 2025. Medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks are much less fuelefficient than conventional automobiles; the fleet of tractortrailers typically get about 6 to 7 mpg, while work trucks can achieve 10 to 11 mpg. But they still consume about 20 percent of the transportation fuel in the United States. Margo Oge, director of the EPAâ€™s Office of Transportation and Air Quality, told reporters the proposed rules would be a â€œwin-win situation for the country, the economy, climate change and energy security.â€? She declined to release details. President Barack Obama was joined by truck manufacturers in the Rose Garden in May when he said the government would release the first-ever proposed standards for greenhouse gas emissions and fuel efficiency for large trucks this year. Obama estimated then that the fuel efficiency of tractor-trailers could be improved by 25 percent using existing technologies.

â€œThis is going to bring down the costs of transporting â€” for transporting goods, serving businesses and consumers alike,â€? Obama said on May 21, flanked by executives with Daimler Trucks, Volvo, Cummins and Navistar, and trucking industry and union officials. The improvements in fuel efficiency will come through a combination of more efficient engines, improved aerodynamics and better tires. Environmental groups have pointed to a National Academy of Sciences report this year that said the trucks could make broad improvements during the decade through existing technologies. The report found that using advanced diesel engines in tractor-trailers could reduce fuel consumption by up to 20 percent by 2020 while hybrid versions of garbage trucks and buses could see a 35 percent cut in fuel use by 2020. â€œWhether you are a company or an individual truck owner, you will be saving money on day one because youâ€™ll be saving more on fuel than increased loan payments on a big truck,â€? said David Friedman, research director for the clean vehicles program of the Union of Concerned Scientists.

N Series Cab Upgrades Enhance Operator Efficiency CASE from page 16

windows provide easy communication to the back of the machine and improve cross-ventilation comfort. A new side lighting package helps illuminate the entire perimeter of the N Series machine, greatly enhancing operator and job site safety, and boosting productivity. The new lighting package improves performance by 28 percent, providing enhanced visibility and overlapping field coverage, according to the manufacturer. The new, “easy flex” side lights offer 45 degree rotation to deliver extra lighting where it’s needed most. “The new N Series machines light up the entire perimeter of the machine,” said Marringa. “This means the entire sideto-side range of backhoe movement — and beyond — is illuminated. This not only gives the operator a better sense of control; it also boosts productivity at any time of day or night.” As in previous models, the N Series backhoes include comfortable, adjustable operator seats and ergonomically placed controls along with all-season heating and air conditioning systems for increased operator comfort. The N Series cabs also are quiet — at 72 decibels — providing an environment in which the operator can concentrate on the task at hand.

Case offers a range of attachments for the N Series loader/backhoes, including hydraulic hammers, augers and other devices.

A t t a c h m e n t s A d d Va l u e Case also offers a range of attachments for the N Series backhoes, including hydraulic hammers, brooms, forks, augers and rakes. Case leads the industry in providing the only cab-activated hydraulic backhoe quick-coupler, handheld hydraulics and loader quick-coupler options. For more information, visit www.casece.com.

Side lighting on the new N Series loader/backhoes boosts safety and productivity in low-light conditions. Exterior lighting on the N Series machines includes two 55W halogen front driving lights, along with three sets of two adjustable 55W halogen work lights on the left side, right side and backhoe side of the cab canopy.

out levels. • In the early 1980s, as part of a joint venture, Case began using an advanced generation of diesel engines for its loader/backhoes. The Case Family I engines offered higher fuel economy, lower emissions, simpler design and advances such as automatic belt-tensioning. • Case L Series 2 loader/backhoes introduced in the late 1990s included such improvements as ride control for vastly improved load retention and roading of the machines, and a hydraulic quick coupler for the loader bucket that enabled the operator to engage and disengage attachments without leaving the seat. • Case M Series loader/backhoes, introduced in the past decade, featured a completely redesigned cab for enhanced operator comfort, safety and efficiency. Another M Series advancement was the backhoe pro control system, which combined anti-rebound swing with improvements in boom and dipper control. This translated into faster, more accurate trenching with greater operator comfort.

The Case 580 Super N backhoe demonstrates its lifting capabilities at the product review center in Tomahawk, Wis.

New XHA2 Loader Tire Caters to Infrastructure, Utility Sites Michelin’s newest size of its XHA2 loader tire is ideal for machines in the construction industry that operate on infrastructure and utility sites. “We’ve seen great success for the XHA2 tire in its quarry size that became available in May,” said Roger Lucas, vice president of sales and marketing, Michelin Earthmover Tires. “Quarries, and some construction sites, around the world are already experiencing the capabilities of this tire. With this new size, even more equipment for construction sites, government projects, infrastructure sites and utility work will now be able to benefit from the many advantages that the XHA2 tire offers.” The tire is designed to accomplish three goals — reduce hourly operating costs, ensure that work continues smoothly and safely, and improve operator working conditions. Along with the latest 23.5R25 size, the 26.5R25 size became available in May. Two remaining sizes are scheduled to be introduced in 2010 — the 29.5R25 and 20.5R25 sizes. The increased durability of the MICHELIN XHA2 tire allows vehicles to remain up and running, which keeps the site’s productivity high. To achieve this result, Michelin integrated three technologies into the tire: • Additional rubber has been incorporated in the tread, making the tire even more damage-resistant. • The sidewalls have been strengthened with a special protective rib and anti-scrape shields. • Michelin has developed a sidewall rubber compound that resists expansion of cuts and splits into the air chamber to help reduce cost-

ly flats. The MICHELIN XHA2 tire lasts at least 5 percent longer than its predecessor, the MICHELIN XHA tire, according to the manufacturer. The MICHELIN XHA2 tire’s traction helps get the job done faster. The 9 percent deeper tread (compared to XHA tire) improves traction and makes the tire self-cleaning — expelling earth caught between tread blocks while reducing temporary losses of grip. This optimized traction reduces rolling resistance and therefore fuel consumption. The MICHELIN XHA2 tire’s tread design reduces vibrations that can be felt by operators and damage mechanical components. Additionally, the tire reduces the vibrations caused by heavy loads and frequent changes of direction due to its larger contact patch, according to the manufacturer. The MICHELIN XHA2 tire also features a casing that makes the tire easier to retread, thereby generating additional cost-savings for companies. It also benefits society as a whole since a retread tire produces less waste and requires fewer raw materials. For more information, visit www.michelinearthmover.com.

Navistar MaxxForce 7 Offers Truck Diesel Engine Design The powerful 6.4-L MaxxForce 7 includes a new rugged 300-hp (223.6 kW) model that offers medium truck owners added fuel economy and low overall cost of ownership. It combines a 28,000-psi (1,900 bar) high-pressure commonrail fuel system, dual sequential turbocharger system and a high strength compacted graphite iron (CGI) block to power all standard-cab models of International DuraStar Class 6/7 commercial trucks and the new International TerraStar Class 4/5 commercial trucks. Four available ratings range from 220 to 300 hp (164 to 223.6 kW) and 560 to 660 lb.-ft. torque. The MaxxForce 7-powered TerraStar will be matched with an Allison 1000 transmission for optimum power output. “This V-8 marks one of the most significant product upgrades in our history as we met the market’s challenge for big power from an efficient, reliable and durable platform,” said Jim Hebe, Navistar senior vice president, North American sales operations. “Customers whose business involves pickup and delivery, towing and recovery, landscape or emergency vehicles such as ambulances, will find the MaxxForce 7 to be the perfect fit for their operations with true commercial vehicle power, durability and capability.”

For higher performance and increased durability, an improved air-management strategy includes dual sequential turbochargers and a dual-path exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) cooling system. The smaller, primary turbo responds quickly for immediate take-off at low engine speeds and the larger, secondary turbo provides peak power at higher speeds and on steep grades. Free-wheel turbo design protects against vibrations for improved durability. Dual-path EGR cooling provides cooler EGR in a robust, solidly mounted cast-aluminum housing that suspends critical components to resist vibration and increase reliability. A floating-core EGR cooler design allows for thermal expansion, which significantly extends system performance and life, according to the manufacturer. The high-pressure common-rail fuel system enables precise fuel dosing, injection timing and optimal combustion. This results in better fuel efficiency, in-cylinder reduction of emissions, and a quietly running diesel engine. The MaxxForce 7 also is compatible with quality B5 to B20 biodiesel blends that meet the industry specification. The MaxxForce 7’s CGI block brings increased durability and lower noise without added weight, compared to typi-

cal gray iron. Because CGI has at least 75 percent higher tensile strength, 45 percent higher stiffness and near double the fatigue strength of gray iron, castings don’t have to be as thick and heavy in order to achieve the desired structural integrity and durability. At just 1,225 lbs. (555.6 kg), the 2010 MaxxForce 7 V-8 adds payload and axle capability. The MaxxForce 7 also offers unaided cold-starting capability to minus 20 F, with an intake-air grid heater so it’s ready to go at every turn of the key. Hydraulic roller-cam followers provide a service-free valve train, as valve lash adjustment is not required. Another key feature of the MaxxForce 7 is its chassismounted electronic control unit with standard built-in electronic engine protection features, which automatically guard against adverse operating conditions. International brand on-highway commercial vehicles powered by 2010 MaxxForce engines will use MaxxForce Advanced EGR emissions technology. MaxxForce-powered vehicles require only diesel and operate just as commercial vehicles of the recent past. For more information, visit www.Navistar.com/newsroom.

Komatsu Unveils PC78US-8 Compact Hydraulic Excavator Komatsu America Corp.’s (KAC) PC78US-8 compact hydraulic excavator is designed for increased production and added operator comfort, when compared to previous models. The new excavator is well-suited for a variety of construction, utility, landscaping and other small- to mid-sized applications, according to the manufacturer. The PC78US-8 is equipped with KOMTRAX technology, which sends machine operating information to a secure Web site utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, machine location, maintenance notifications, out of area notifications, machine utilization, and residual fuel levels are just a few of the features that are relayed to the Web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability and reduces the risk of machine theft. Special features of the PC78US-8 include: • Power and Performance The PC78US-8 gets its power from a Komatsu SAA4D95LE-5 engine with a net horsepower of 55 hp (41 kW). The direct injection engine is EPA Interim Tier

IV emissions certified. The PC78US-8 has an operating weight of 16,240 lbs. (7,366 kg) and features a maximum digging height of 24 ft. 11 in. (7.6 m), a maximum digging depth of 15 ft. 5 in. (4.7 m), an arm crowd force of 7,760 lbs. (3,520 kg) and a bucket breakout force of 13,780 lbs. (6,250 kg). • Advanced Hydraulics Using Komatsu’s HydrauMind hydraulic system, the PC78US-8’s pressure compensating CLSS system ensures each function works according to its control input regardless of the load, giving the operator precise control. Utilizing an engine speed sensing system, engine speed is maintained regardless of load condition, ensuring that the engine’s full power potential is available. Auxiliary hydraulics come as standard equipment, and the flow can be adjusted from the operator’s seat via the 7 in. color multifunction monitor. Flow range can be adjusted from 5.3 to 33 gpm (20 to 125 Lpm) depending on the attachment requirements. • Customized Applications Five working modes allow the operator to tailor machine operation to the given

application, either maximizing power during difficult workloads (power mode) or conserving fuel when the job doesn’t require maximum power (economy mode). When placing pipe or other objects, lifting mode reduces engine RPM, providing fine control. Breaker and attachment modes are available to provide single or bidirectional flow depending on the attachment being used. (Breaker, thumb, grapple etc.) • Service and Maintenance A number of features facilitate ease of maintenance, including an engine hood that can be opened in confined spaces providing access to key service points, and a wide opening side hood that provides access to the fuel and hydraulic tanks, selector valve for auxiliary hydraulics, washer fluid, and overflow for radiator.

Atlas Copco’s Box-Shape Jaw Offers Higher Recycling Rates Atlas Copco’s CC 3300 hydraulic CombiCutter now features a box-shape jaw, allowing the recycling rate to be increased for demolition jobs and the recycling process within the crusher to be simplified. “Our new box-shaped jaws have been designed to significantly streamline the demolition process by cutting the material on three sides simultaneously,” Kevin Loomis, product line manager hydraulic attachments of Atlas Copco explained. “As the jaws penetrate the concrete material, they also cut the rebar in the same motion, producing a box-shaped product ready for recycling.” It also has a positive effect on the amount of fines and dust produced on the demolition site. “Reducing the material into blocks will slash demolition times while also limiting dust and fines produced by traditional cutter-
