Myers & Sons Replacing California Bridge

Construction to replace the California Department of Transportation’s Klamath River Bridge over Horse Creek on State Route 96 in northern California (Siskiyou County) began in the summer of 2024, and Myers & Sons Construction LLC expects to deliver the $34 million construction contract this fall.

The new 545-ft.-long, 44-ft.-wide, three-span post-tensioned concrete box girder-type bridge is being built on a new roadway alignment in a rural forested area. The new structure is approximately 30 mi. west of the junction with Interstate 5.

This project’s funding comes from Senate Bill (SB) 1, the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017.

“Senate Bill 1 funding continues to serve as a catalyst for rebuilding California’s infrastructure and improving experiences for people who walk and bike,” said Tony Tavares, Caltrans director.

In addition to replacing a bridge constructed in 1953, various intersections and driveways within the project area are being realigned. The project area is approximately 1 mi. east of the Horse Creek community.

A Cat 982M wheel loader and a Cat 390D excavator work together to clear space for a new bridge alignment.

The road and bridge CEG CORRESPONDENT construction sector observed the National Work Zone Awareness Week in April, recognizing the critical need to keep drivers, the public and construction workers safe in road construction zones.

In support of the industry, several states have announced the integration of smart technology into road and bridge projects to make sure everyone remains safe while navigating and working in these areas.

Montana PBS Starts On $31.5M Expansion of MSU Station A groundbreaking ceremony was held on April 29, 2025, for the $31.5 million expansion of the Montana PBS station on the Montana State University (MSU) campus in Bozeman, kbzk.com reported.

“It’s a little hard for me to believe that it’s actually here,” said Aaron Pruitt, the director and general manager of Montana PBS. “I entered the building in 1984 as a freshman photography student. But little did I know that this fledgling TV station, and an adviser named Jack Hyyppa, would change the course of my life.”

Founded in 1984, KUSM-TV at MSU partnered with the University of Montana’s KUFM-TV in 1997 to become Montana PBS. The statewide network now broadcasts five channels with more than 275,000 Montanans viewing each week, according to MSU. After 40 years, the station is expanding for the first time, kbzk.com reported.

“To date, we have raised $31.5 million of private donations to help make the addition possible,” Pruitt said.

That money is coming from more than 600 private donors across Montana, according to kbzk.com.

Langlas & Associates serves as the project contractor, with SMA Architecture and Design handling the design services, according to bozemandailychronicle.com.

“We plan to add 32,000 square feet,” Pruitt said. “And it will include a large classroom space, which is also a studio, as well as control rooms and offices to bring our entire Montana PBS staff back together for the first time in more than a decade.”

The renovation will include a shared lobby connecting

MSU's School of Film and Photography and the offices of 2018, according to kbzk.com.

The building will be home to the new Joseph S. Sample  classroom and studio, which will serve as a screening venue, lecture hall, event center and production studio, according to MSU. Its versatility and large capacity of 192 seats will allow it to host large enrollment MSU core classes (including SFP’s FILM 101), live audience televised productions and university events.

KGLT radio, which is in the university’s Student Union Building, also will relocate to the new building, kbzk.com reported, Montana PBS shares the space with the MSU School of Film and Photography, leading to some impacts.

“So, it will, for the next couple years, present some challenges. At the same time, I appreciate the enthusiasm from all those partners for what our dream is, for what the student experience will be, when we open our doors,” Pruitt Montana State University rendering said.

Palomar Breaks Ground On $42M OKC Justice Center City officials, community leaders and crime survivors gathered on May 9, 2025, in Oklahoma City to break ground on the MAPS 4 Family Justice Center, the future home of Palomar, according to freepressokc.com.

The new location at 1135 N. Hudson Ave., directly across from the current location, will be a three-story, 72,884-sq.-ft. facility. It will triple Palomar’s space and double its capacity. It is expected to open in 2027.

The facility was designed by Alford Hall

Monaghan Morris, and Crossland Construction is the general contractor, according to velocityokc.com.

Palomar was launched within the Oklahoma City Police Department to improve public safety by supporting survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, elder abuse and childhood trauma. It works with 45 partner agencies, serving more than 29,000 individuals and families and delivering more than 300,000 services., according to freepres-

sokc.com.

“This isn’t just another building,” Palomar’s founder and Chief Visionary Officer Kim Garrett-Funk said. “It is a message to every survivor in our city that you are seen, heard and valued.”

The facility was designed over two years in collaboration with the MAPS 4 team and the architecture firms Allford Hall Monaghan Morris and ADG Blatt. It is guided by trauma-informed design principles and shaped by the lived experience of survivors

and will include private rooms for clients, therapeutic offices, group rooms, a sensory space, a pet kennel, medical and forensic care and a 24-hour children’s sanctuary with an outdoor playground, freepressokc.com reported.

Survivors will have access to a virtual courtroom, a spiritual room, a client shop stocked with fresh food and essentials and eventually a café. There will be a public event space and training wing for hosting community education and university classes.

Steps toward a new facility began in 2019, when staff shared their vision during Oklahoma City’s MAPS 4 planning process. That voter-approved measure created a temporary penny sales tax dedicated to community improvements without creating public debt. MAPS 4 originally generated $38 million toward the expanded facility, but higher-than-expected revenues pushed the total to $42 million, according to freepressokc.com.

When inflation pushed up construction costs, the facility, originally planned at 80,000 sq. ft. was reduced to 72,884 sq. ft.

Some features, such as a day care and medical components, were eliminated, and elements like the third floor and a planned café will remain unfinished for now. 

S&K Gaming broke ground on its new 400 Horses Casino on April 9, 2025, in Polson, Mont., according to nbcmontana.com.

The gaming and entertainment facility will be situated off Highway 93 on Irvine Flats Road. That location is tribal land. S&K Gaming is owned by the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.

Completion is anticipated in 2026.

Kraus-Anderson is serving as the contractor on the facility, which was designed by LSE Architects, according to pechanga.net.

The facility will feature a 34,227-sq.-ft. family-friendly casino with 300 gaming machines, plus room for future expansion.

The casino will include 400 parking spaces and a restaurant.

Charkoosta.com reported that the project is anticipated to create more than 75 jobs.

The name, 400 Horses Casino, refers to Chief Alexander of the Pend d’Oreille Tribe.

He owned the largest herd of horses and was part of the 1855 Hellgate Treaty, nbcmontana.com reported.

“Beyond direct employment, the 400 Horses Casino will create a ripple effect of economic benefits throughout the neighbor-

ing communities,” said Bryon Miller, CEO of S&K Gaming LLC. “We anticipate increased patrons in our existing facilities, fostering economic entrepreneurship and creating a more vibrant economic ecosystem.”

Miller said the project has been in development since 2021 and has evolved from a $10 million concept into a $30 million investment, charkoosta.com reported.

“We’ve actually designed the casino for phase one, and we’ll get this one done in the next 14 months,” Miller said. “Phase two of this development would include an event center and hotel. When you start pairing that all together, then you create the resort.”

The new casino will replace the casino at KwaTaqNuk Resort and Casino in Polson, according to 500nations.com. In June 2026 the gaming equipment there will be transferred to 400 Horses and the resort will be transformed into a family-friendly facility along the southern shore of Flathead Lake.

An Indian Gaming Association representative spoke during the groundbreaking ceremony, saying the industry is strong and grew by $1.5 billion in 2023, according to nbcmontana.com. 

Equip Exposition Issues Tips for First-Timers to Trade Show For the landscapers, dealers, contractors, hardscape experts and outdoor power equipment manufacturers attending Equip Exposition for the very first time, it’s important to go into the trade show with a plan.

“Do your homework and make a schedule. Download the app ahead of time, book your hotel room now, and be sure to wear comfortable shoes,” said Kris Kiser, president and CEO of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), which owns and manages Equip Exposition, the international landscape, outdoor living and equipment exposition. The Equip app is sponsored by CASE Construction Equipment.

The show, which boasts more than a million sq.-ft. of exhibit space, is held Oct. 21-24 at the Kentucky Exposition Center (KEC) and drew more than 28,500 people last year.

Equip offers these tips to help first-time attendees to plan for the best experience possible: Before the Show 1. Register now. If you’re registered, you will receive Equip’s regular emails about everything going on at the show. Sign up at EquipExposition.com for $30 before prices double to $60 on Sept. 5. On Oct. 20, the price doubles again.

Don’t get stuck paying full price ($120) onsite.

2. Add education, certification classes and training to your registration before sessions sell out. Explore ways to grow your businesses, address common problems and develop employees. Other sessions will cover irrigation, pesticide management, tree and shrub pruning, outdoor lighting and more. Select classes, including the popular From Worker to Leader course, are available in Spanish.

3. Book travel arrangements and hotel reservations. Last

For those attending Equip Exposition for the first time, it’s important to go into the trade show with a plan

year, the show sold out the city’s hotels (some are on a complimentary shuttle route) and attendees booked 32,000 rooms.

4. Bring your teammates from your company (if you are a landscaper) or your contractor customers (if you are a dealer). Equip is a fantastic team building opportunity, through shared educational experiences and testing new equipment to having fun at concerts with one another. This makes acting on new knowledge and ideas when home easier.

5. Determine the top three business problems you are trying to solve. Look at the speakers, exhibits and education offerings and identify the ones that will help you the most.

6. Download the Equip Expo app, sponsored by CASE Construction Equipment. The app is your event guide. It works with any Android or iPhone. Find the Event Schedule with start times for sessions and maps for the entire facility, where the biggest giveaways are held and more. Favorite events or locations to build a custom schedule.

7. Plan your route. Many attendees drive to the show so it’s important to map the route from your hotel to the Kentucky Exposition Center and other venues, and look at available shuttles or rideshares.

8. Learn the main areas of the show.

• The North Wing has registration, exhibits and badge pickup.

• The South Wing has exhibits, Mulligan’s Mutt Madness, the Education Center and easy access to the Outdoor Demo Yard and the UTV Driving Experience.

• The West Wing is loaded with exhibits and food options (as well as the rideshare pickup/drop off zone).

• Freedom Hall will host Tree Care Arena, sponsored by Altec.

At the Show 1. Don’t get stuck in traffic. For ease of entry, don’t use the main gate at the show’s rush hour. If you are coming later than 10 a.m., use Crittenden Drive gate or the Preston Highway gate and park on the North side, which is the best way to enter the KEC. Leave via a similar route to avoid any bottlenecks at the main gate. Parking at the KEC during the show is free!

2. Start your day in the West Wing. Ride shares and shuttles will drop off at the West Wing and there will be food options available.

3. Avoid lines for badge pickup. Print your badge at the Welcome Reception, sponsored by Caterpillar, at Churchill Downs’ First Turn Club or in the North Wing at the Kentucky Exposition Center. More locations are scattered throughout Louisville hotels, the Airport and the KEC. 4. Talk with others. Equip is a city-wide event. People in your hotel elevator and restaurant are likely attendees. Take time to meet people as you navigate the halls, stand in line, or grab a bite to eat.

5. Have fun at the events. Go to: • Welcome Reception at Churchill Downs sponsored by Caterpillar on Tuesday evening; • Mulligan’s 5K Fun Run and Walk, sponsored by Active Dynamics, on Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m.; • the opening keynote on Wednesday morning will feature Jesse Cole, the founder of the Savannah Bananas, and is sponsored by Kress; • 4th Street Live! on Wednesday; • the Morning Show at Expo sponsored by Rehlko on Thursday morning; • ENERGIZE on Thursday afternoon; and • Big & Rich concert sponsored by Gravely on Thursday night.

After the Show 1. Follow up with the people you met at Equip. Swap ideas and remind each other to do “that thing you said you would do” when you returned home.

2. Put new ideas you picked up at the show into action.

Take that leap, do the “new thing,” roll out better pricing, marketing, services and more.

3. Register for next year’s show. Planned for Oct. 20-23, 2026.

Registration for the show is only $25 through May 31, 2025 at EquipExposition.com. 

Innovative Excavation System Crushes Market Demand With increased construction activities worldwide, rapid urbanization and an expanding mining sector, the global excavator breaker market is projected to grow significantly to an estimated $3.5 billion by 2032.

As a result, hydraulic breaker technologies in mining and aggregate applications have evolved rapidly to include advancements that are focused on optimizing breaking efficiency, reducing operating costs and minimizing downtime on the job.

To deliver performance and reliability options for this growth trajectory, Toku America Inc. developed its Striker rock breaker system consisting of heavy duty, mid-range and mobile system options. The systems feature a versatile boom that allows the powerful hydraulic breaker to reach into the crusher’s mouth — effectively reducing oversized boulders and clearing any blockages in the hopper, according to Toku.

All systems are custom engineered to meet specific crusher and aggregate material application demands in a wide range of sizes and reach — nominal max horizontal reach ft., max horizontal reach ft. and max vertical reach ft.

Rock Breaker System Models Heavy Duty Rock Breaker: Essential for permanent rock breaking in demanding environments, these systems provide the safest solution for managing bridging, material build-ups and oversized rocks.

Features include: • maximizes the hydraulic hammer’s performance potential; • shock-absorbing pedestal mount improves stability; • advanced control system ensures safety and reliability while remaining user-friendly; • constructed from high-strength steel alloys — ensuring durability and resistance to torsion and buckling; and • durable, heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders enhance productivity over extended periods.

Mid-Range Rock Breaker: Designed to strike an optimal balance between lightweight construction and high capacity.

The boom pedestal’s larger footprint enhances stress distribution and strengthens the foundation structures. Generally installed above the opening of a primary crusher.

Features include: • user-friendly remote controls for smooth and agile operation; • shock-absorbing pedestal mounting; • heat-treated conical pins; • anti-lunge cushioning in the hydraulic system; • unrestricted visibility from the cabin or the operator stand; and • easy assembly with safe, quick and straightforward operation.

Mobile Rock Breaker: Compact design ideally integrated into portable crushing plants — attaching directly to the

• fits within transport dimensions; • crafted with precision from high-quality materials; • turntable-mounted base; • heat-treated conical pins; • low-profile height and width design — efficient use of space; and • stable and easy to install.

mobile crusher’s structure. By clearing bridged rock and breaking oversized materials in the hopper (without the need to halt operations or reposition equipment), these versatile boom systems can boost productivity by up to 30 percent.

Features include:

Hydraulic breaker technologies in mining and aggregate applications have evolved rapidly to include advancements that are focused on optimizing breaking efficiency, reducing operating costs and minimizing downtime on the job.

Hydraulic Breaker Installed at the end of the boom system, Toku’s Striker TNB hydraulic breakers feature a uniquely simple, yet efficient design with only two moving parts — requiring no maintenance, according to the company. Its advanced “accumulator free” technology delivers exceptional impact energy, long life, and low operating costs, according to Toku. Based on the same design philosophy, it also features a complete range of 15 breakers to match a myriad of demanding aggregate application needs.

Features include: • short, fully enclosed tie rods; • long-stroke piston: the most efficient design for energy transfer and recoil reduction; • control valve: “flow through” design reduces hydraulic surge and efficiently controls the breaker operating cycle; • 50/50 piston to tool weight ratio: efficiently transfers the blow energy into the material and reduces recoil; • dual retainer pins: correct tool alignment and evens tool wear for longer tool and bushing life; and • cushion chamber: each blow is isolated from the carrier and operator-energy recycled and used for the next blow.

Rock Breaker System Conclusion Identifying today’s technologies that can help reduce the effects of the constant beating breakers take in the high-psi conditions associated with mines and quarries are essential to the bottom line. Key factors to consider when choosing the right breaker system include the type of crushing plant, the plant’s tonnage capacity and the size and hardness of the materials being processed.

According to Toku America President, Matt Gruden, “Toku’s Striker rock breaker systems boast three models with a wide array of sizes, reaches and capacity configurations. By customizing these system parameters, mine and quarry operations can easily matchup to their unique aggregate demands — optimizing performance, safety and material output.”

Toku also has an engineering team available with more than 40 years of experience to provide guidance and technical support in choosing the rock breaker system specific to customers’ needs, according to the company. The company’s service profile also offers hydraulic breaker rebuild options which include: master seal kit, front tool bushing, spring pins/stopper pins, retainer pins, labor and return freight.

Metso Announces Sixth in Nordberg HPe Crusher Series Metso announced another expansion of its Nordberg HPe crusher series.

First introduced in 2023, the HPe series quickly established itself in the industry.

Now, just two years later, the lineup has grown to six models, covering a wide range of size categories and process stages, from secondary to tertiary and quaternary crushing.

The HPe series builds on Metso’s Nordberg HP cone crusher technology. The market response to the new HPe models highlights a clear industry shift toward higher efficiency, safety and sustainability in crushing operations, according to Metso. To date, more than 200 units have been sold globally and old HP models have been retrofitted with the upgrade kits, enhancing customers’ existing operations with the latest advancements in crushing technology.

“With the latest addition of the Nordberg HPe crusher series, we are able to offer customers the ideal balance of power and efficiency for their specific crushing needs,” said Ilkka Somero, product manager, HP Cones of Metso’s aggregates business area.

“The HP450e, as a mid-range unit, is designed for customers who require reliable, high-capacity crushing without excessive energy consumption. With this unit, we have

further improved its application flexibility so that customers get the maximum production and yield of wanted end products.”

Nordberg HP450e Cone Crusher The latest size class of the series, the new Nordberg HP450e offers enhanced performance, higher uptime, wider application coverage, faster and safer serviceability and a series of other improvements, making it the perfect choice for diverse rock processing operations, according to Metso.

The Nordberg HP450e cone crusher offers several unique benefits including: • Enhanced performance; • 10 percent more head motion • 13 percent more power (in kW and HP) • 20 percent more force • Environmentally friendly solution, as backing material is not needed; • New, more efficient chambers; • Head spin brake for higher uptime; • Serviceability improvements; and • Feed cone lifting tool.

Upgradability Core Philosophy of HPe Series Metso offers upgrade options for cus-

tomers with earlier generation HP crushers.

Many of the new HPe features can be applied to existing units through upgrades, including no-backing liners that reduce maintenance downtime, a redesigned split nut for improved safety and easier maintenance and a crusher head

spin brake that extends liner life. In addition, most spare and wear parts from the HPe series are compatible with HP crushers, providing cost-effective and operational benefits for mixed fleets, according to Metso.

With these six HPe crushers, a wide range of 10 different chamber profiles, simulation software and Metso’s expertise, customers can optimize their operations and achieve their production targets, according to Metso. Designed for versatility, Metso’s HPe crushers can be configured for various applications, from wheel-mounted Nordwheeler setups to modular Nordplant installations and track-mounted Lokotrack units.

The new HP450e will be showcased at bauma at the Metso booth. Metso’s experts welcome the visitors of the show to join the launch event at the Metso booth on Tuesday, April 8, at 4 p.m.

Crews Work On Replacing SR 96 Bridge Originally Constructed 72 Years Ago BRIDGE from page 1

“The purpose of the project is to provide a safe, sustainable, traversable structure to the public and to keep freight moving to market,” said Chris Woodward, a Caltrans public relations officer. “It is addressing current erosion and scour around the bridge foundations and increasing vertical and horizontal clearance for trucks and freight haulers moving goods through the area.

“Worker safety will be improved by significantly reducing or eliminating the need for crews to scale the steep structure to fix damage caused when larger trucks or their freight loads impact the overhead bridge truss.”

Building a new bridge has environmental benefits.

“Potential construction or project impacts will be mitigated through the creation of the Lower Beaver Creek ponds and a ‘bat hotel,’” said Woodward. “Work at the Beaver Creek ponds will help expand fish populations and provide a seasonal refuge for area species as well.”

Pre-construction utility relocations occurred in the winter of 2023-2024. Tree removal also was necessary to clear a path for the new bridge and roadway alignment.

Caltrans designed the new bridge and roadwork. The bridge design features larger 8-ft. shoulders and a bicycle railing, enhancing safety and accessibility for pedestrians and bicyclists.

“Caltrans had a lot of the design and engineering completed when we pre-bid the job,” said Kurtis Frailey, Myers & Sons vice president. “Some of the design challenges would be the temporary design work — the falsework and the access to install the falsework into the river because some of the dams were recently removed upstream — the flows of the river were pretty much unknown. We were going to build a trestle at first, but we decided to go with a rock berm to access the river to install the falsework.”

A Link-Belt crane is integral for creating the base of the new Klamath River Bridge over Horse Creek.

The bridge was designed for a 100-year lifespan. To ensure that the lifespan is met, a polyester concrete overlay will be placed on top of the deck.

“This waterproof seal extends the life of the bridge,” Frailey said.

So far Myers & Sons Construction has completed most of the road work and the bridge construction; the soffits and other elements are all poured.

Takeuchi Honors Top North American Dealers, Salespeople at Summit in Ariz.

ARTBA photo

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (middle) was presented the ARTBA Award, the association’s highest honor.

Takeuchi photo

(L-R) are Jamie Cowin, Jeff Stewart, Matt McGowan and Scott Cox.

Takeuchi honored its North American dealer of the year, 360° dealer salesperson of the year and the recipients of its 2024 dealer 360° awards at the company’s recent 2025 dealer summit in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The Dealer 360° awards recognize Takeuchi dealers across the United States and Canada for excellence in sales performance, facilities, training, accounts receivables, marketing/parts and service.

“Takeuchi is proud to have an exceptional dealer network across North America,” said Jeff Stewart, president of Takeuchi-US. “We know that having quality dealers is key to our success, which is why we established our Dealer 360° awards program. By setting distinct operational standards, we can better ensure a consistent Takeuchi customer experience while also providing clear guidelines for building a strong, successful dealership.”

Cowin Equipment, with locations in Alabama, Georgia and Florida, was recognized as the Takeuchi dealer of the year for 2024. The company specializes in rental, sales and service of equipment for general contracting, mining/quarrying, utility, industrial and forestry. Cowin promotes a flexible “hybrid” strategy that equally emphasizes equipment sales and rental, combined with a total commitment to product support.

“The team at Cowin Equipment understands how to create long-standing, positive relationships with their customers,” said Shay Klusmeyer, western division sales manager of Takeuchi-US.

Takeuchi photo

(L-R) are Paul Wade, Shann Cooke, Scott Syler and Shay Klusmeyer.

“They’ve been in the equipment distribution business for nearly nine decades and they continue to grow and thrive because of the outstanding effort they put forth every day. We’re very glad to have them as part of the Takeuchi family, and we congratulate them on a job well done.”

In addition to Cowin Equipment, the following dealers also successfully met or exceeded the Dealer 360° criteria standards by Dec. 31, 2024: Atlantic Coastal Equipment, Georgia; Bennett Equipment & Supply, Georgia and South Carolina; Brandeis Machinery, Indiana and Kentucky; CCS Equipment Sales, North Carolina; Cobb County Tractor, Georgia; Ditch Witch of South Louisiana, Louisiana; Feenaughty Machinery Co., Oregon; Grand Equipment, Michigan; Hayden Machinery, Missouri; Luby Equipment, Illinois, Missouri and West Virginia; McClung-Logan Equipment Company, Virginia; Mountain Farm International, Tennessee; Parman Tractor & Equipment, Tennessee; PDQ Rentals, California; Road Builders Machinery & Supply, Nebraska and Missouri; TEC Equipment Rental, South Carolina; Tri-West Tractor, California; and Williams Equipment, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas

For their outstanding achievements in all program categories during 2024, a select group of top Takeuchi dealers will head to Japan later this year for a special visit to Takeuchi’s global headquarters.

“Our dealers’ dedication and commitment to excellence have helped Takeuchi continue to increase its market share in North America,” said Stewart. “We thank them for their efforts this past year and we will do everything within our power to help them achieve even greater success in 2025.”

Also at the 2025 dealer summit, Takeuchi honored Scott Syler of Parman Tractor & Equipment as the dealer salesperson of the year. This program incentivizes Takeuchi salespeople to develop a well-rounded approach to selling Takeuchi equipment by challenging them to achieve various educational and sales milestones throughout the year. Syler was the top performer out of a field of 42 salespeople who earned salesperson award status in 2024.

“Scott has more than 30 years of equipment sales experience and he puts that expertise to work every day for Parman Tractor and Takeuchi,” said Klusmeyer. “Being named Takeuchi’s top dealer salesperson is no small feat; it requires a ton of focus and hard work.

We sincerely thank Scott for his outstanding performance and dedication to the Takeuchi product line.”

During her 24 years in Congress, Sen. Capito has been an ardent champion of increased federal funding and streamlining the permitting process to accelerate the delivery of transportation improvements.

In 2021, she played a pivotal role in crafting a five-year, $450 billion highway and public transit reauthorization bill, the largest surface transportation investment increase in 65 years. She worked to build support for final passage from her Senate colleagues. The measure became the centerpiece of the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act (IIJA), the November 2021 enacted infrastructure law.

Sen. Capito remains a leading voice to ensure the law is implemented as intended by Congress, and she is currently working to develop the next highway and public transit bill, due by Oct. 1, 2026.

FAE is expanding its range of forestry mulchers for excavators with the introduction of the new UMM/S/EX model for excavators up to 40 tons.

FAE is expanding its range of forestry mulchers for excavators with the introduction of the new UMM/S/EX model for excavators up to 40 tons; particularly for feller bunchers.

The new UMM/S/EX can be used for mulching trees and vegetation with a diameter of up to 16 in. and is compatible with excavators from 25 to 40 tons. Its hydraulic capacity ranges from 66 to 119 gpm and it can handle pressure of up to 400-bar.

This mulcher model is recommended for use anywhere a large mulching capacity is required, including in

wooded areas or green spaces.

The UMM/S/EX has been designed with a number of specific features to provide top performance.

Its VT automatic variable displacement motor allows for increased torque and its Poly Chain belt transmission ensures optimum power transfer and reliability over time.

Spike Pro bolted counter blades produce very fine mulch and make maintenance easy, while the mulching chamber features bolted protections made of an anti-wear material, according to FAE. The sturdy type-C rotor makes it possible to

use different tooth models for different applications and comes with side teeth, which help keep the crushing chamber clean at all times. Finally, with a sturdy steel frame, the UMM/S/EX is built to last. This head is available in UMM/S/EX/VT-150 size.

With the introduction of the UMM/S/EX, FAE forestry mulchers can now be used with even more powerful vehicles, which have only been used in a limited capacity for this application up to now.

AI Camera Tech ‘Watches’ Questionable Traffic Behavior ITS from page 1

Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) play a role in smart technology. The use of communication-based information and electronics technologies are central.

Work zone ITS is meant to enhance transportation and improve safety and mobility in and around work zones, according to the Federal Highway Administration.

“A work zone ITS deployment can be focused around safety or mobility, but often supports both goals and can also enhance productivity,” said the agency.

“The systems are portable and temporary in most cases, although some deployments may use either fixed infrastructure or become a permanent system.”

FHWA has an entire website devoted to providing guidance on ITS implementation in work zones. The goal is to assist public agencies, design and construction firms and industry.

That includes developers, manufacturers, distributors, packagers and providers of devices, systems and programs, as well.

The agency believes work zone ITS is one possible operational strategy an agency can include in a transportation management plan (TMP).

The federal website summarizes key steps for successful implementation, using a systematic approach.

“These steps include assessment of needs, concept development and feasibility, detailed system planning and design and procurement,” said the fed.

It also involves system deployment and system operation, maintenance and evaluation, said FHWA. In fact, transportation agencies across the country are using ITS to make travel through and around work zones safer and more efficient. Electronics, computers and communications equipment are used to collect information and process it in order to take appropriate action.

The technology can help agencies with traffic monitoring and management, provide traveler information and incident management. It also can enhance the safety of both the road user and the worker, said FHWA. With ITS, capacity can be increased and enforcement improved.

The technology tracks and evaluates contract incentives and disincentives for performance-based contracting and aids in work zone planning.

Many ITS applications offer a combination of benefits for state agencies, said the agency. At the same time, they keep road workers safe.

Implementation at State Level The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) was selected to host the national work zone awareness campaign this year.

Transportation leaders, hosting for the first time, stressed the importance of motorists slowing down and staying alert to protect road workers and other drivers.

New smart technology is helping the state agency make sure that happens every day in work zones, said Joey Hopkins, state transportation secretary.

At the awareness week kickoff event, Hopkins said NCDOT has deployed connected work zone devices that transmit real-time data. The data allows drivers to navigation apps that provide audio alerts as they near work zones.

The agency also has installed flashing arrows, automated flagging assistance devices as well as portable traffic signals to keep vulnerable road crews safe.

Smart devices in work zones are deployed for safety and mobility, as well as productivity.

transportation officials stressed the benefits of a smart work zone program. Noting the state has always had a smart program, Daniel Smith told WPBF in West Palm Beach that the state has advanced its technology and strategies.

Smith, a state traffic systems manager, said smart cones are one example. With a built-in sensor that activates a loud siren, the cone alerts workers.

“If one gets knocked off, it’ll set off a siren for the rest of them and let the workers know that there’s something entering the work zone.”

Ranger Construction sees much potential in smart devices. Mark Ligon, vice president of safety and risk management, told CBS12 he is excited to see it in use.

A Ranger employee was killed by a hit-and-run driver in a road construction zone in 2023. Ligon said with more warning he might’ve escaped fatal injury.

“Whether, in fact, he would’ve been able to, we don’t know that,” Ligon said. “But at least it would’ve given him the opportunity.”

One camera device mounted on a vehicle emits a siren, giving workers a few seconds to get out of the way if a driver is coming right at them.

With a long-range digital camera, radar and AI component it watches oncoming traffic approaching the road workers’ work zone, said Jason Lee. CEO and founder of SmartCone Technologies, Lee said the device can see up to a mile down the road.

“So, together inside the computer that’s in our device, it takes the radar, it tells the unit ‘Hey, we got lots of traffic coming at a certain speed.’”

The AI camera begins watching traffic behavior. If traffic behavior is questionable, the device flashes a light and sends a message, Lee said.

The messages are received by workers via watch, and they can run to the cone placed in a safe spot that they can reach in a hurry.

The goal is to give them at least five seconds warning before an approaching driver might hit them, said Lee. “What we’re trying to do is give people awareness to make a better decision as fast as possible.”

Smith said the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) also uses trailers with AI cameras and drones to enhance safety. More visible on local major construction sites, these devices keep workers safe and let FDOT make real-time adjustments from a remote traffic center.

Smith called the technology “the nerve center of surface transportation” and have proven invaluable for controlling traffic in work zones. For instance, on one project, site managers discovered that construction barrels were not placed in the most strategic spot.

“You didn’t really notice it on the ground, but with a camera up on a pole, you did notice it,” said Smith. “We’re able to move these traffic barrels around to just reduce conflict.

So, people aren’t swerving in our lanes and trying to drive places they shouldn’t be.”

He told WPBF he believes smart work zones are costeffective, usually amounting to less than 0.1 percent of the project cost.

FDOT owns the equipment, so the agency can deploy it wherever and whenever it’s needed.

Work Zone ITS Trends ITS is revolutionizing the way we travel by integrating advanced technologies into transportation networks, said Rohan Salgarkar.

Executive vice president of sales for business intelligence provider Markets and Markets Inc., Salgarkar believes ITS is transforming our mobility.

“In a traditional system, traffic flow was regulated through timers, pressure plates, and pedestrian buttons,” he said. see ITS page 38

Bridge Crews Receive Local Housing DOTs Across Nation Due to Remote NW California Location Deploy ITS to Work BRIDGE from page 24

“Now we are forming up to pour the deck and that should start in mid-June,” Frailey said. “Then we’ll be able to strip the falsework and pull our access out of the river. This will all be done by August, and we’ll place the polyester overlay and switch traffic onto the new bridge and demolish the old one.”

The work is six months ahead of schedule due to the crews’ efforts.

“They’ve put in a really good effort to get the job done quickly,” Frailey said. “They are working out-of-town, quite a ways from home. They do their work and go home for the weekends.”

Due to the job’s remoteness, crews are housed in trailers and local hotels. The remoteness also prompted Myers & Sons to set up an on-site concrete batch plant at a local aggregate pit because local concrete suppliers couldn’t reach the job site. Water for the concrete production is provided by ponds at the pit site.

The construction of the new bridge is based on a detailed plan.

“It’s a three-span bridge, so we started with the abutments while we made access to the center of the river,” Frailey said, “and at the same time, started work on the center pier, footings and columns. We designed our falsework. We didn’t have to go down into the river with anything.”

Cast-in-drilled-hole (CDIH) piles, 6-ft. in diameter, were drilled to depths of approximately 90 ft.

The falsework consists of metal beams.

“This is the most efficient, quickest, and least expensive way to build it,” Frailey said.

The bridge sits 18 ft. above the water, so worker safety is paramount.

“We have all of our full protection methods —handrails and harnesses — when working at these heights,” Frailey said.

Myers & Sons equipment operators employed a Link-Belt crane to handle the materials to build the bridge, Cat 335 excavators to dig all the footings and a Cat D6 dozer for the dirt work to access the river. Malcolm Drilling used a Bauer BG 45 rotary drill rig for the CDIH piles.

All the road work is done save for the section where the traffic will be switched to access the new bridge. Steve Manning Construction in Redding, Calif., is handling the asphalt road construction.

For the earth work, the subcontractor used Cat 336 excavators to load off-road haul trucks. approximately 20,000 cu. yds. of dirt was moved to create the fills for the approaches on both sides of the bridge.

Close to 5,000 yds. of hard granite rock was removed via a Cat 336 excavator with a hydraulic hammer attached to it.

“It was tough going,” Frailey said.

The existing steel truss bridge will be demolished by CW Maloney of Stockton, Calif.

“They will demolish it in place piece-by-piece and then recycle all of the metal parts,” Frailey said.

Myers & Sons’ management team consists of Project Manager Chris Nelson and Superintendent Shawn Kinnie.

“These two have been building this job and are doing a great job to keep it ahead of schedule,” said Frailey, who noted that Nelson has been with the company for 13 years and Kinnie for three years. “It’s been a great team dynamic

between us, Caltrans and the local community.

“It’s a partnership and very collaborative. We’re trying to lessen the impacts to the public to get this job done early.

We’ve done a lot of work in this area for the past 15 years and we understand how to work in these remote areas.”

Typical days have 18 Myers & Sons and subcontractor personnel on site.

Crews excavated 65,000 cu. yds. of roadway.

New materials should include 5,500 cu. yds. of concrete, 8830 tons of HMA and 737,000 lbs. of rebar.

Being in a remote area means that equipment must be in tip-top condition.

“We get repairs done immediately,” said Frailey. “We have a mechanic that goes up there when we have any issues.

At the end of the day, the wear and tear we are dealing with is due to digging in rock. This includes cutting edges and the teeth on buckets.”

Myers & Sons buys its Cat equipment from Holt of California in Sacramento and its cranes from Nixon-Egli Equipment Co. in Stockton. Equipment is rented from United Rentals and California Compaction.

Frailey appreciates the work of the general contractor who built the original bridge.

“They were pretty good at building stuff back then,” he said, “with not having the equipment we have today —the bridge is still here 72 years later. They had to do a lot of it by manpower.”  CEG (All photos courtesy of Caltrans.)

Roadway leads to the new bridge.

Safely On Roadways ITS from page 32

“However, smart intersections have revolutionized this approach,” using a combination of to detect pedestrians and vehicles, he added.

These systems enable more accurate and efficient traffic management. In smart intersections, vehicles can automatically begin braking to avoid accidents. Streetlights can now pick up individual signals sent from vehicles to determine traffic volume and direction more accurately than ever before, he said.

“This level of communication allows for automated vehicle movement based on traffic signal changes, significantly improving safety and efficiency.”

If traffic leading to and at the construction points is not managed well, serious consequences for workers and the public at large are possible.

Worksafe Traffic Control Industries said these construction points create traffic snarl-ups because of bottlenecks on the freeway.

“Workers can also be faced with danger from irate drivers trying to get ahead of others through the bottlenecks,” said the traffic control device provider.

ITS “minimizes road congestion while at the same time optimizes other aspects of traffic.”

Road users can decide on alternate routing and timing for the day in question. Worksafe Traffic Control said smart technology is in many devices, including: • Variable Speed Limit (VSL) Trailers primarily slow motorists down as they ensure drivers move smoothly.

• Queue Warning Systems reduce primary and secondary crashes in real time by engaging advanced warning messages and signs upstream.

• Dynamic Lane Merge Systems eliminate congestion on one lane by closing another. They calm traffic and keep it moving with early signs of a slow-down, so traffic is distributed and only merged at the designated point.

• Truck Entering Systems allows trucks to merge with normal traffic when a system with an HD camera detects slow-moving construction vehicles.

• Travel Time Information Systems allow drivers to decide among other things, whether to change routes in the event of added travel time or delay because of a project.

• Smart Arrow Boards blend hardware and software to provide motorists with up-to-date routing and daily work zone operations information.

• Alternative Traffic Route Systems allow drivers to change their routes. With a second dynamic message panel, a dual-display sign is achieved when traffic volume between two routes changes.

• Traffic Data Collection Devices are geared to collect traffic data, including speed of the vehicle, classification and gap.

• Conflict Warning Systems include workspace intrusion devices, over-dimension warnings units and speed feedback signs when workers are next to an open lane.

Motorists are notified of potential dangers ahead, so they have the chance to adjust accordingly.  CEG

Small-Town Roots to Global Impact: Stellar Celebrates 35 Years Stellar Industries celebrates its 35th anniversary this year, marking a legacy of innovation, growth and customer-centric service.

Founded in 1990 by three entrepreneurs — Francis Zrostlik, Jim Vlaanderen and Gary Bomstad — Stellar began its journey designing and manufacturing a domestic hydraulic hooklift. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, Stellar has grown from a small-town operation in Garner, Iowa, to a global force in the construction, waste and work truck industries.

“We are incredibly proud of the 35 years of progress Stellar has made,” said Dave Zrostlik, president of Stellar.

“What began as a small, dedicated team working tirelessly to create reliable, high-quality products has evolved into a company that impacts industries across the globe. Our employees have been the key to our success. Some of them have been with us since the very early days of the company’s existence, bringing their passion and expertise to every product we create. The company’s accomplishments reflect their hard work and the relationships we’ve built with our customers and distributors.”

Legacy of Innovation, Leadership Stellar’s journey has been marked by products and innovations. In 1999, the company introduced its first telescopic service crane. Since then, Stellar has continually expanded its product portfolio, offering solutions such as patented aluminum mechanic truck bodies, tire handling equipment, hooklifts and more.

In 2023, Stellar achieved a monumental milestone by becoming 100 percent employee owned. The transition to 100 percent employee ownership has further deepened the sense of commitment and pride within the workforce, allowing each team member to directly benefit from the company’s growth and achievements. Stellar now has more than 800 employee-owners, each of whom is integral to the company’s day-to-day operations and long-term strategy.

“This transition to 100 percent employee ownership was a game-changer for us,” said Zrostlik. “This shift has further cemented a culture of accountability and shared success, where everyone is aligned in driving Stellar forward. It’s a powerful incentive for excellence because every employee has a personal stake in our continued success.”

Growth From Ground Up Since its founding, Stellar has not only built a strong foundation through the design and manufacturing of its own equipment but has also grown through strategic acquisitions that have fueled its expansion.

Stellar has strategically acquired other like-minded companies to broaden its product offerings and strengthen its position within the industry. These acquisitions have allowed Stellar to expand into new markets and further solidify its leadership in the work truck solutions sector.

Stellar Industries celebrates its 35th anniversary this year.

One of the most significant acquisitions in recent years was the purchase of Elliott Machine Works of Galion, Ohio, another rural American-based company that shares Stellar’s commitment to quality. By bringing Elliott Machine Works into the Stellar portfolio of products, the company added a renowned line of fuel trucks, lube trucks, water trucks, lube skids, vacuum tanks and other mobile service equipment.

This acquisition not only expanded Stellar’s reach into new markets but also aligned with its core values of providing reliable, durable equipment that meets the evolving needs of industries across the globe.

Expanding Globally, Staying Rooted in Community Though Stellar’s roots are firmly planted in the heartland of America, the company’s impact is felt on a global scale.

The company was recently recognized with the prestigious E Award for exports, honoring its success in expanding its global footprint. Stellar’s presence at bauma 2025 in Germany, marking the company’s first appearance at the international exhibition, reflects its growing reach.

Alongside its global growth, Stellar has remained deeply committed to its local community. The company’s foundational values are rooted in the belief that success should ben-

efit not only the business but the area it calls home. Since its 30th anniversary, Stellar has made several significant contributions to the community. These include the donation of a collaborative robot (cobot) to North Iowa Area Community College (NIACC) to enhance its advanced manufacturing program.

In addition, Stellar’s commitment to local youth is evident in the development of the Stellar Sports Complex, a facility that provides opportunities for recreational sports and community engagement. By investing in the development of its local infrastructure, Stellar has helped ensure that its success not only benefits the company but fosters growth, education and opportunity for future generations in Garner and beyond.

Looking to Future As Stellar celebrates this notable anniversary, Zrostlik looks ahead with excitement. “Reaching 35 years is an incredible milestone, but we’re not stopping here,” said Zrostlik. “We’re continuously looking for new challenges and ways to improve. The future is bright, and we’re ready to take on the next problem and find innovative solutions for it.”

Transitioning From Pipe Supply to Farming to Retirement Jim Massengale’s background goes deeper than just farming and ranching: His roots run deep in manufacturing.

As one of the founders of United Poly System LLC, Massengale said that surrounding himself and his company with good people is what made the business so successful.

Founded in 2011 by Massengale and his partner Bert Bridges, United Poly Systems became a supplier of polyethylene pipe used for telecommunications cabling and pipe for the oil and gas industry. Across the country, United Poly Systems supplied installers with reel trailers housing thousands of miles of orange pipe helping to build the infrastructure for communication and energy transfer.

“We had all the confidence in the world we could do it. I had experience in manufacturing plants, and Bert could sell a Dr. Pepper guy a Coke, so we knew we had the right team and just needed the right people to start the business,” Massengale said.

Massengale and Bridges showcased more than 40 years of combined industry experience and United Poly Systems produced more than 120,000 mi. of pipe.

In 2017, however, Massengale turned to farming and ranching, buying 30 cows and 187 acres.

“With this growth, we decided to start crop farming and silage and with that had to purchase hay equipment along with a variety of other pieces,” Massengale said. “We had a lot of stuff we began purchasing in 2017 and 2018. We looked all over the country for the best, low-hour machinery.”

Initially, the thought was that farming would become his retirement, but it evolved

into much more. Within a year of fully retiring from the pipe business, Massengale had amassed more than 3,000 acres and 450 cows.

What was meant to be a slower pace quickly turned into a full-time operation, demanding more time and energy than expected. Massengale thus ended his run of farming and ranching and contacted Richard Spacek, territory sales manager of Purple Wave Auction, to set up a noreserve online retirement auction for his equipment.

Most of Massengale’s equipment was bought at Heritage Tractor in Rogersville, Mo., and was well-maintained by the family.

“Our large square baler was the only one left in the country that was brand new,” said Massengale. “We baled between 730 and 740 bales — 80 percent have been wheat straw, with last year baling 150 to 250 bales of alfalfa.”

Massengale’s favorite piece of equipment was a self-propelled John Deere 235 cutter; he ran it 99 percent of the time.

“I like to cut hay. It’s auto-steer, and it’s a learning experience for me. I’ll miss that

piece the most,” he said. “We’re proud of what we got and know if we go out and get in any piece, it will perform.”

Each piece of Massengale’s equipment sold to the highest bidder on May 15 in the M3 Hilltop Ranch Retirement Auction.

Other equipment featured included a oneowner 2021 Brillion seeder that helped plant 235 acres of alfalfa and a 2021 Haybuster tub grinder that produced 100 bales.

“My son Trey is the one who studied and learned how to run all the equipment,’ Massengale said. “I call him constantly with questions because I’m kind of old school.

He’s up on all the technology. Without him, we wouldn’t have had all the auto-steer equipment or the extra bells and whistles.’

The auction showcased several assets, three of which stood out in their performance. A 2022 Massey Ferguson 2270 Class 5 large square baler had a contract price of $124,300. Two tractors also performed well — a 2012 John Deere 8285R sold for $211,200, and a 2014 John Deere 6190R went for $143,000.
