The pilot plAnT program Graduates Congratulated Trees Ontario congratulates the 21 post-secondary students who successfully graduated from its Program for Local Afforestation Network Training (PLANT) program.

“We congratulate both the students and the strong network of forestry professionals who, by participating in PLANT, are leading efforts to close this widening knowledge gap in the forestry sector,” said Rob Keen, Trees Ontario’s Chief Executive Officer and a Registered Professional Forester. “Without robust knowledge transfer strategies, Ontario is at risk of losing decades’ worth of forestry knowledge, which could further impact future planting initiatives, and ultimately the health and integrity of local ecosystems and communities.”

PLANT, launched in December 2012, is the first province-wide knowledge-transfer program that proactively ensures selected future forestry professionals have the practical skills and competence

needed to address forest restoration needs in the face of climate change.

The two-day mentorship-based training was held at Sir Sanford Fleming College (SSFC) in Lindsay, Ontario, this past week in collaboration with The Forest Gene Conservation Association, Lands and Forests Consulting, Nottawasaga Conservation Authority, Rideau Valley Conservation Authority and Conservation Halton.

“PLANT is a great opportunity for students to learn from southern Ontario experts,” said Barb Boysen, Coordinator at Forest Gene Conservation Association. “There is no substitute for working with those who do this complex job well - from helping landowners plan their new forest, to collecting highquality seed to actually planting and tending the seedlings. Climate change and invasive species are making it more challenging than ever, but not much is

April 2013 more rewarding than creating a forest!”

Graduates received a Certificate of Training issued by Trees Ontario and are now eligible to further advance their forestry careers by applying to one of the organization’s three Afforestation Technician field positions. Starting in April, these six-month roles are financially supported by the Ontario Trillium Foundation and RBC Foundation, and are offered in partnership with SSFC and planting delivery agents.

Successful candidates will receive training facilitated by Trees Ontario’s seasoned advisors and experts who will share knowledge on seed collection and genetics as well as leading-edge afforestation techniques that enhance the health and integrity of the local environment and ensure survival.

Students will also collaborate with host partners, landowners, municipalities, conservation authorities and the private sector.

Building on the success of this initial program, Trees Ontario will expand upon PLANT and partner with additional educational institutions and partners in the coming year. b

Tanzanian Royalty Awarded Assessment Certificate For Kigosi Tanzanian Royalty Exploration Corporation is very pleased to announce that the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Tanzania American International Development Corporation 2000 Limited, has been awarded the Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate for its Kigosi Gold Project, in partnership with the State Mining Corporation (STAMICO) representing the Government of The United Republic of Tanzania. STAMICO are 15% shareholders of the Kigosi Project.

The Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate was issued and signed by The Minister of State, VicePresident’s Office-Environment, The Honourable Dr. Terezya Luoga Huvisa (MP) on January 24, 2013 and is critical to the development cycle of the Kigosi Project. Mr. Joseph Kahama, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer (Tanza-

nia) stated, “This achievement again proves the truth of the time-honoured adage, ‘patience is a virtue.’ The process of obtaining an Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate is complex and involves multiple independent consultants, stakeholders and institutions having a say in the process and more significantly, giving their stamp of approval for the Project. We are thrilled that all these steps were undertaken thoroughly and successfully.”

Commenting on the significance of this development, Mr. Kahama asked: “As a shareholder you may be asking yourself, ‘what does this achievement mean and what importance does it have?’ Well, this achievement means that your Company is making material progress on the critical development path at Kigosi.”

The Kigosi Project has

April 2013 now passed all necessary steps to obtain the approval of the professional national environmental body, the National Environment Management Council (“NEMC”). The receipt of NEMC’s approval and recommendation resulted in the Minister signing the Environmental Impact Assessment Certificate. The Company is now awaiting the issuance of a Mining License for Kigosi, a process now underway and to which the Minister’s approval of the Certificate is a required pre-condition.

In a message to shareholders, Mr. Kahama added: “I would like to thank all of the shareholders for their patience - now history and patience have delivered. Your Company takes great pride in being partners with STAMICO in the Kigosi Project and plans to make every effort to continue its advancement, for the benefit of its shareholders and for the people of Tanzania, who are her host and fellow shareholders in this important initiative.’

I look forward to exciting times ahead and to keeping you abreast of developments as we move steadily forward.” b

valuable Alternative Source of energy Going To waste

A new study carried out by the School of Planning of the University of Waterloo on behalf of the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA) has determined that if all of the non-recycled plastics that are put into Canadian landfills each year were converted to energy, using technologies currently available, the energy would be sufficient to provide fuel for over 600,000 automobiles annually.

“Plastics, being hydrocarbons, have energy values substantially higher than coal and almost as high as natural gas and oil. Capturing this energy value of non-recycled plastics would contribute a significant supply of alternative energy in Canada”, says Professor Murray E. Haight, one of the authors of the study.

The study estimated that if all the non-recycled plastics were converted to fuel oil, using the technology called pyrolysis, it would produce almost 9 million

barrels of oil equivalent to a value of $786 million.

Alternatively, if all of the non-recycled plastics were separated from other wastes and used as fuel in specially designed power plants, the electricity produced would be sufficient to supply almost 500,000 Canadian households annually while also reducing our dependence on coal.

Similarly, the study also estimated that if 100 percent of Canada’s currently landfilled combustible solid waste instead were diverted to new waste to energy (WTE) power plants, it could provide electricity to power more than 1.5 million homes each year.

Plastics are highly engineered enabling innovation in design, performance and efficiency in all sectors of our economy spanning automotive, medical, building materials, electronics and packaging.

“After use, plastics should be recycled to the full extent possible.

For non-recycled plastics,

they can be re-purposed to be a valuable energy source.

Recovering this energy complements recycling and is a better option to landfilling energy”, says Cathy Cirko, VP of the CPIA. Technologies exist to convert non-recycled plastics into crude oil, electricity and into other fuels.

“CPIA is pleased to be driving studies such as this one that clearly demonstrates the need for continued efforts to increase plastics recycling and to recover more of the energy value of non-recycled plastics”, says Carol Hochu, President and CEO, CPIA. The full study “Energy and Economic Values of Non-Recycled Plastics (NRP) Currently Landfilled in Canada” further quantifies, for each province, the potential energy value from recovering non recycled plastics and other combustible solid waste currently being landfilled.

The Canadian Plastics Industry Association is the national voice of Canada’s plastics industry, representing the interests of processors, material suppliers, equipment manufacturers and brand owners across the country. b

HPE Africa Introduces McCloskey Equipment To Local Market McCloskey International has officially named High Power Equipment (HPE) Africa as its sole Southern Africa distributor for its full line of crushing, screening, stacking and recycling equipment.

HPE Africa will stock and distribute the entire range of McCloskey In-

ternational equipment, which is divided into four main products groups that include stock piling conveyors, crushers, trommel screens aimed at the organic and recycling markets, and vibratory screeners, which are aimed at the aggregate market.

McCloskey International Vice President of Sales John O’Neill notes that Africa is a key target market for the company.

“To date, McCloskey International has only had a small presence in Africa.

Due to the comprehensive product range that the company boasts, the deci-

sion was made to have full dealer support through HPE Africa in order to ensure that local customers are being provided with full value added service.”

“The McCloskey International range of equipment augments HPE Africa’s current offering to all of its existing markets,” added HPE Africa McCloskey Sales Manager Alan Straw. “As the sole distributer of the McCloskey International brand in Southern Africa, HPE Africa has committed itself to being a full stocking deal-

er, and will be furnished to provide the support that is required to properly maintain the McCloskey International range of equipment and its customer relationships. HPE Africa will also be keeping a full backup of stock to service all of these machines, while McCloskey International has committed itself to providing indepth and comprehensive training to all HPE Africa technicians, in order to ensure that they are fully certified on the entire range,” he explains.

Straw believes that the McCloskey International range is ideally suited to the African market, due to the fact that it is user friendly and rugged. “McCloskey International was established in Canada where machines are expected to withstand extreme temperatures in vastly remote areas. As a result, they have been designed to be reliable, operator friendly and easy to maintain. These are the features that Africanbased operations will be looking for in their machinery.”

O’Neill highlights the fact that McCloskey International selected HPE Africa as its local distributor of choice because the companies share similar business values. “McCloskey International places a strong emphasis on building strong relationships with the end user and HPE Africa has a proven and unrivalled reputation for customer service excellence across the continent. Much like HPE Africa, McCloskey International is a privately owned company that also differentiates itself from large conglomerates by building personal customer relationships that ultimately lead to faster turnaround times and improved overall customer satisfaction,” he continues.

Although the McCloskey International range

April 2013 has only been available to the local market through HPE Africa for a matter of months, Straw adds that both companies have been pleasantly surprised by customer reaction to the brand to date. “HPE Africa has already imported two direct feed screens for a customer in Durban, in addition to two jaw crushers and three SType hopper fed screens for another customer in Johannesburg. There has also been a keen interest displayed from existing and potential customers, and we have had a large number of walk in enquiries from people that have seen the McCloskey International range of equipment in the HPE Africa yard.”

The world’s largest independent screening and crushing equipment manufacturer, McCloskey International experienced rapid expansion in 2012, with sixty percent growth overall, a 30% increase in workforce and the addition of over 136,000 square feet to its plants in Canada and Northern Ireland over the past year. McCloskey will be completing an expansion project on its facility in Canada in 2013, before undertaking further expansion on the company’s facility in Northern Ireland, in order to keep up with a sustained rise in global demand. Bearing these trends in mind, O’Neill is confident of obtaining measurable market share in Africa.

“McCloskey International has developed a tried and trusted reputation that has led to the company becoming a dominant force in established markets such as North America and Western Europe. As investment in infrastructural development in Africa continues to rise at a rapid rate, I am confident that McCloskey International will provide exceptional value to this industry moving forward,” he concludes. b

Construction Group Campaigns Against ‘Trades Tax’ The campaign against compulsory annual membership fees being levied upon apprentices, tradespeople, journeypersons and employers across a range of trades in construction and other sectors to belong to the controversial Ontario College of Trades (OCOT) has gathered momentum as yet another key building association has signed on.

Recently, the Ontario Construction Employers Coalition announced that the Niagara Construction Association, which represents general and trade contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, architects and engineers associated with the building industry in Niagara, had joined the campaign.

Referring to the membership fees as ‘the government’s newest bureaucracy’, Niagara Construction Association General Manager Karin Sheldrick says the moves to charge compulsory fees constitute an unnecessary burden upon young people in their ef-

forts to pursue training and apprenticeships and will add to the cost for consumers of services involving trades from hairdressing to mechanics to construction.

“The trades tax will kill jobs and discourage youth from entering into the trades” Sheldrick says.

“We joined the Stop The Trades Tax campaign to ensure the government’s newest bureaucracy is stopped”.

Organized by the Ontario Construction Employer’s Federation, an organisation set up specifically for the purpose of the campaign, The ‘Stop The Trades Tax’ campaign is a response to compulsory fees being levied by the Ontario government for membership of the OCOT – a regulatory institution created by legislation in 2009 to take a leadership role in provincial decisions regarding training across a range of apprenticeship categories in 157 skilled trades.

Employer groups see the fees – $60 annually for ap-

prentices and tradespeople and $120 for journeypersons and employers – as a provincial government tax grab, and are upset at what they see as a lack of accountability on the part of the College and a lack of clear visibility as to what benefit trades will derive from their fees.

The campaign has grown to 31 organizations whose members represent more than 130,000 skilled tradespeople and 8,000 business owners, according to information on its web site.

Last month, the Canadian Association of Renovators and Home Services (CARAHS) and Plumbing and Heating Cooling Contractors – Ontario Trades Association joined on.

Not everyone, however, supports the employers’ campaign. Bill Nichols, President of the Provincial Building and Construction Trades Council of Ontario wrote in August last year that the new College represented part of the necessary reform to improve the province’s trade system and that the new College will, through its disciplinary function, provide for enhanced consumer protection. b

Demolition Men Demolition of a London, Ontario, plant proves toughest challenge yet for Artscrushing & Recycling, Inc. by Mark Wolfe

B

oth construction and demolition projects have their own unique complexities, and Artscrushing & Recycling Inc. based in London, Ontario is currently tackling one of its most challenging demos to date.

The full service industrial and commercial demolition, crushing, wrecking, and recycling company is engaged in demolishing the old EMCO Manufacturing Plant located on Dundas Street East in the city of

London.

“This is definitely the toughest [demolition project] that we’ve done, particularly from a project management and coordination perspective,” says Artscrushing General Manager, Rick Declercq. “There are always unknowns in a demolition project … each job has its own little quirks to it.”

The $2-million project involving the demolition of 190,000 square feet of space began in September

2012. Declercq notes that although construction and demolition projects can be equally complex, a demo can sometimes be more difficult as a result of asbestos abatement, managing dilapidated structures, and preserving useful space.

“When you are demolishing a building, your men always need to be aware of what is happening around them,” he says. “You cannot be sure when pulling or hitting something in your work area what else it

is connected to or affecting elsewhere.”

Other challenges of the project include keeping the railway siding open on the east side, keeping the traffic lanes open on the west side, and managing the environmental issues involved with preserving the three-storey office building on the site. The Artscrushing team is using concrete crunchers to bring down the concrete walls, shearers to cut all the steel, skid steers, loaders, and exca-

vators to move material around, and roll-off bins to transport materials off the site to Green Valley Recycling.

Phase One involved leveling the concrete walls and taking down the steel structure at the north end of the site. Phase Two included the demolition of a large smoke stack used by the original boilers, and the remaining parts of the building in the south end.

When the project started last fall, the preparation work included disconnecting and relocating the data, electrical, fire, water, and gas lines from the portions of the building to be demolished, while keeping these services active to the office building. “The boiler system that fed the

office building also fed the plant so EMCO had to put in a new boiler system,” Declercq says. “The main electrical service ran through the plant into the office building so we had to re-route that from the electrical room to keep all the computers up and running.”

Efficiently completing the structural demolition, while simultaneously ensuring minimal disruption for employees, and maintaining traffic and rail routes around the site, further underlines the diverse and complex nature of the project. As the demolition team continues to progress on time and on budget, the project is scheduled for completion

by June 2013. b

Case IH’s New Disk Drills Make Every Seed Count Redesigned from the ground up, the all-new Precision Disk single-disk air drills deliver best-inclass seed placement accuracy for an array of crops grown in diverse conditions and geographies. The new offering includes the Precision Disk 500T with an onboard bulk seed tank in 25-, 30- and 40-foot working widths and the Precision Disk 500 in 30- and 40-foot sizes, which are paired with a tow-between or tow-behind air cart.

At the heart of each Precision Disk drill is a completely new row unit, engineered to help Case IH customers achieve more even emergence and improved plant stand establishment when seeding crops like soybeans, wheat, milo and hybrid rice.

The new design delivers accurate seed placement

and depth control across varying soil and tillage conditions, as well as more consistent seed-tosoil contact. These drills can cover more acres each day with increased field speeds and quicker cycle times when moving from field to field. They also are easily adjustable and require less daily maintenance, allowing more time for seeding during those critical spring or fall seeding windows.

“Producers can seed with confidence with the Case IH Precision Disk 500 and 500T drills,” says Dale Simpson, Case IH Seeding Marketing Manager. “These drills have been thoroughly tested on more than 55,000 acres since 2009.

They are designed to help producers maximize their acres seeded per day with increased operating speeds and excep-

tional versatility.”

Maximize Your Yield Potential “The new Case IH single-disk row unit sets a higher standard for seeding,” adds Simpson. “Our agronomic design cuts through residue, opens a uniform seed trench, accurately delivers the seed and closes and seals the trench for improved germination and plant-stand establishment.”

Single-bevel 18-inch disks are set at a 7-degree angle to slice through residue and open a high-quality seed trench, even at shallow depths, while also minimizing hair pinning of residue in the seed trench.

The Case IH Precision Disk parallel-link row unit design helps ensure unmatched seed placement accuracy for improved emergence and stand establishment. Patent-pending variable down-pressure springs apply the right

amount of pressure on individual row units to ensure better penetration across varying residue and soil conditions. In addition, the forward-facing seed tube design directs the seed, working in conjunction with the scraper, for more consistent placement in the bottom of the seed trench.

To close and seal the seed trench, the newly designed double-edged closing wheels, with three easy-to adjust pressure settings, eliminate air pockets and ensure good seed-to-soil contact.

These new press wheels have been designed and tested to endure in the higher speed operations, variable soil and high residue conditions experienced by today’s growers across North America.

Hydraulic down pressure across the full width of the disk drill can be adjusted either manually or via in-cab display option.

Three convenient presets help maintain ideal row unit down pressure for changing field conditions and making it easier to adjust “on the run.”

Increase Your Productivity Case IH Precision Disk

drill owners can get more done each day because these drills provide the tire packages and walking-beam axle options that will allow you to “shift-up” when appropriate – while maintaining accurate seed placement across a wide spectrum of field and tillage practices.

In addition, operators will spend more time in the field and less in transport, with some of the industry’s narrowest transport widths. Operators can quickly and easily move from field to transport mode, and back again. In addition, overall machine length and working widths make the Precision Disk drills easy to transport and improve field maneuverability.

High Versatility Case IH Precision Disk drills provide seeding flexibility across multiple crops and conditions: • Three meter-roller options provide accurate metering across a wide range of crops, including soybeans, wheat, hybrid rice, milo or other small grains.

• Single, easy-to-reach “T” handles select and lock in seeding depth

Page 11 with one adjustment – no tools necessary.

Depth settings range from zero to 3.5 inches in 14 increments.

• Rugged, reliable frames hold up to changing field conditions, even going from no-till to conventional with minimal time-robbing adjustments.

“The main centerframe is oriented in a “V” to evenly distribute the weight across the carrying wheels,” says Simpson. “The orientation provides exceptional weight distribution, especially in softer soils, and it adds additional stability during transport.”

In addition, Case IH Precision Disk drills deliver an integrated, less complex precision farming solution with Advanced Farming Systems (AFS) and the AFS Pro 700 display. Built on industrycompatible architecture, AFS can interface with a farmer’s existing ISO 11783 compliant equipment no matter what the brand.

Additional Model Features The Precision Disk Continued on page 12

Page 12

Supply Post Central/Eastern Canada Edition · www.supplypost.com

Continued from page 11

500T includes an integral mounted seed tank, which makes it the first air drill in the Case IH lineup to have an on-board bulk seed tank. Available in 70-bushel capacity for the 25- and 30-foot sizes, and the 40-foot size comes with a 100-bushel tank.

The close-coupled design of the 500T allows for work in small, irregularly shaped fields and easy transport, making it a perfect fit in areas where the dill and air cart “train” system just doesn’t fit operational needs.

The 500T offers optional AFS four-section overlap control to help producers reduce input costs and increase yields by eliminating overlap on turn rows and in odd-shaped

fields. Two-section manual shutoff is standard, and a GPS four-section control is optional.

All Precision Disk 500T drill features can be managed with the AFS Pro 700 monitor. The AFS Pro 700’s convenient, one-page seeding display keeps all the necessary information close at hand.

New flow sensors provide accurate population estimates for larger seeded crops. A bar graph shows target rates and seeding flow. GPS or radar speed inputs provide accurate seeding-rate information.

Alternatively, the Precision Disk 500 is available in 30- and 40-foot working widths. It uses an external seed supply air cart in either tow-between or tow-behind configurations,

making it popular for operations looking for higher capacity, as well as those seeking the ability to apply a dry fertilizer product with seed. When paired with a Case IH Precision Air cart, the Precision Disk 500 features optional variable-rate hydraulic seed metering controlled through the AFS Pro 700 monitor.

“Our customers asked for more accuracy, more productivity and more versatility for improved seeding results,” says Simpson.

“The new Precision Disk 500 and 500T drills deliver on those requests. Customers can improve their results with accurate seed populations, improved residue handling and seed depth control, uniform seed-to-soil contact and even emergence.” b

Doosan Infracore Selects Ricardo Technology Doosan Infracore is a highly successful international business with a stated ambition to become one of the world’s top three construction equipment and machine tool companies by 2020.

The company is a leader in Korea’s heavy machinery industry with a worldwide reputation for continuously developing new technologies and improving product quality, founded on a 75 year history of consistently meeting the changing demands of its customers.

Ricardo and Doosan Infracore have been collaborating on range of programmes, in particular relating to the achievement of US Tier 4 emissions regulations which will be required for the diesel engines used in the company’s off-highway and construction equipment products in interna-

tional markets. Central to this collaboration is the incorporation of Ricardo’s patent-pending TVCS clean combustion technology which enables Tier 4 final emissions standards to be met with minimal requirement for particle aftertreatment. As a result, unlike many of its competitor engines, the new Doosan Infracore compact engine family does not require a diesel particulate filter to meet these stringent new emissions regulations.

Doosan Infracore recently held an opening ceremony for its all-new Compact Engine Plant in Incheon, Korea, where Tier 4 final compliant versions of its new compact engine family – in 1.8, 2.4 and 3.4 litres capacity variants – will be manufactured. Amongst the customers of these state-of-the-art engines featuring Ricardo’s flag-

ship TVCS clean technology is leading international equipment company Bobcat, which has announced plans for Tier 4 solutions that include Doosan-built engines powering some of its equipment line-up for 2014.

“Ricardo is pleased to have been able to collaborate with Doosan Infracore in the development of its new Tier 4 final compliant engines,” said Ken Kim, President of Ricardo Korea. “The Ricardo Twin Vortex Combustion System has already proven itself as a highly successful clean technology that offers manufacturers a very attractive path to Tier 4 compliance without the need for overly complex and expensive aftertreatment systems. We congratulate Doosan Infracore on the launch of its new plant in which its state-of-the-art compact engines will be manufactured, and look forward in anticipation to the launch of Bobcat products in which they will feature from 2014 onwards.” b

Ritchie Bros. Sets New Records Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers Incorporated sold approximately $3.9 billion of equipment at 328 unreserved auctions around the world in 2012. This represents a 5 percent increase in gross auction proceeds over 2011 and the highest gross auction proceeds in company history. The company achieved gross auction proceeds of $1 billion in the fourth quarter alone.

Ritchie Bros. (www.rbauction.com) attracted record online bidder registrations and sold approximately

$1.3 billion of equipment, trucks and other assets to online bidders in 2012, an 18 percent increase over 2011 and the highest amount ever sold online by the company in one year.

Ritchie Bros. conducted its final unreserved auctions of 2012 yesterday (December 20) in Los Angeles, California, and St. Louis, Missouri and plans to release its full audited annual financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for 2012 on February 26, 2013. All

new Genie lift pro online operator Training program Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP), a business segment of Terex Corporation (TEX), is pleased to introduce the new Genie Lift Pro online-based aerial work platform training program. Upon completion of the online training program and subsequent hands-on training in front of a qualified person, end users will have met the requirements to become a qualified AWP operator, in accordance with American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) standards.

The Lift Pro online training program is available through authorized Lift Pro Training Centres throughout North America and will be applicable for most brands, makes and models of aerial work platforms. Genie customers are eligible to become authorized Lift Pro Training Centres upon meeting specified criteria.

“The Lift Pro Training Program gives end users the ability to train at their own pace and on their own schedule,” said Mike Samora, Senior Director, Global Marketing, Terex AWP. “This is completely unprecedented in the industry, and we anticipate the program will potentially increase both productivity and safety on the job

site.”

By making the program available online to end users, employers can potentially increase jobsite efficiency by replacing traditional class-room training qualification programs.

The practical hands-on training session takes place at the dealership or rental house from which the program was purchased, and upon successful completion of this and the online training module, the end user will be considered a qualified operator.

A 30-question exam is administered upon completion of the online training modules, and end users are required to answer all questions correctly. If an incorrect answer is given, participants are required to return to the module and search for the correct answer, ensuring complete comprehension of the material.

“As an industry leader, we place a priority on safety for operators on the jobsite,” said Samora. “The development of the Genie Lift Pro training program is a natural extension of our own commitment to excellence.” b

dollar amounts in this release are stated in United States dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Summary comments Peter Blake, Ritchie Bros. CEO, commented: “Against the backdrop of market turbulence through the year, we are pleased with our 2012 results as we emerged well positioned to continue the growth of our core unreserved auction business and we are ready to begin a new path that will introduce a new customer base to our brand. In 2012, we saw the intense competition for quality low-hour used equipment recently transition to a less competitive and more familiar environment for our business to grow over the long term. These changes in the evolving equipment market contributed to our performance in the year where we saw significant gains in our online presence and bidder portal, with over 5 million unique visitors to our 21 language website and $1.3 billion in annual online equipment sales. Our auctions in Canada recorded over $1 billion in gross auction proceeds for the year, an amazing feat from our network of 10 permanent auc-

tion sites within Canada.”

“We are realizing benefits, from prior investments in capital and strategic initiatives, ranging from our continuing improvements in operating leverage to the expansion of our global auction site network with our new Donington Park, UK yard and the opening of replacement sites in Chehalis, Wash. (replacing Olympia, Wash.) and RaleighDurham, N.C. (replacing Statesville, NC).” added Blake. “2013 is shaping up to be a great year of milestones, with the impending launch of our new online, non-auction marketplace as a result of our AssetNation acquisition. We also will be conducting our first unreserved auction in Beijing, China, as well as our upcoming six-day auction in Orlando, Florida and

Page 13

Grand Opening auction in Geelong, Australia - all demonstrating the breadth in our mission statement to deliver compelling business solutions that enable the world’s builders to easily and confidently exchange equipment.”

mcelroy Creates Super 28 TracStar machine The popular TracStar 28 has a new ordering option for customers.

Named the “Super 28,” the fusion machine pairs a 28 fusion machine carriage for fusing 2-inch IPS to 8-inch DIPS (63mm to 225mm) polyethylene pipe with a larger tracked chassis powered by diesel fuel.

McElroy TracStar machines are self-contained, self-propelled, trackmounted vehicles that can handle grades up to 30 percent. The four-jaw fusion carriage of TracStar machines can be easily re-

moved for in-ditch fusion.

For tight installations, the outer fixed jaw of the carriage and the skid can be removed from the carriage converting the unit to a three-jaw carriage.

The Super 28’s chassis is the same as those on the larger TracStar 412 and 618 fusion machines.

The diesel-fueled carriage is optimal for some jobsites, as opposed to the standard gasoline-powered option of the original TracStar 28.

“We’re excited about this new addition to our line of TracStar 28 ma-

chines,” said Chip McElroy, president of McElroy.

“We made this addition because of feedback we have received from our customers and our worldwide distribution network.”

The new Super 28 can also be ordered as a Combination Unit (CU). Combination Units offer a saddle fusion capability that allows fusion of branch saddles with a maximum base diameter of 9.63 inches onto any size pipe main.

The Super 28 comes standard with the dieselpowered 28 carriage, TracStar 412/618 chassis, facer, heater, insulated heater stand and lifting assembly.

nHeS presents The All new winter management Feature The excitement is growing for the country’s largest heavy equipment event, the National Heavy Equipment Show (NHES), which will be held at the International Centre in Mississauga, April 18-19, 2013.

“We are very excited to return to Mississauga for the 13th edition of this event,” says National Show Manager, Mark Cusack. “At this stage of the game we have our largest exhibitor base ever. We are nearing capacity with new bookings still coming in,” explained Cusack.

The NHES will encompass a huge portion of the massive International Centre and will showcase the leaders of the Heavy Equipment and Construction Industry.

Several Heavy features that will showcase specialized industries and equipment will include the Gravel Pit, the Rental Pavilion, the Backhoe Rodeo and the all new Winter Management Show and education-

al program.

2012 Cleaning The Capital Contributors Celebrated Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Councillor Keith Egli, Chair of the Transportation Committee, Councillor Marianne Wilkinson, and Bill Houldsworth of Tim Horton’s celebrated the efforts of 2012 Cleaning the Capital participants and sponsors at a recent ceremony at City Hall.

“Year after year, I’m proud to see so many people actively caring for their neighbourhoods and this year is no exception,” said Mayor Watson.

“It is important to thank all the volunteers and the many sponsors who make Cleaning the Capital a success, and now we can work to build on this enthusiasm on a yearround basis, as I suggested in my recent State of the City remarks.”

Every year, the spring and fall events attract more than 86,000 participants who give back to their communities through litter pick-up and graffiti removal projects. Since 1994, Cleaning the Capital participants have collected over 1.5 million kilograms of waste from Ottawa’s parks, bus stops, woodlots, ravines,

shorelines and pathways.

“Cleaning the Capital creates a tangible difference we can instantly see. We appreciate all the participants and sponsors that contribute their time and efforts towards creating a cleaner and healthier city,” said Councillor Egli.

“Tim Horton’s is proud to be a long-time sponsor of the Cleaning the Capital campaigns and we are dedicated to supporting this valuable initiative to keep our communities beautiful,” said Tim Horton’s restaurant owner Bill Houldsworth.

“We look forward to the campaign’s continued suc-

cess to combat litter and graffiti through community cleanup projects across the city.”

The 2013 Spring Cleaning the Capital will be taking place April 15 to May 15, and participants can register online.

The 2013 Tim Horton’s Ottawa Cleaning the Capital will mark 20 years of the initiative. The Cleaning the Capital team was the recipient of the 2012 Keep America Beautiful Award for their litter prevention efforts and their ability to engage community members in the Cleaning the Capital campaigns. This annual award celebrates achievements in litter prevention, waste reduction and recycling, beautification and community greening projects or programs. b

Forest Products Company CEOs Foresee A Bumpy Year Ahead Forest, paper & packaging (FPP) CEOs are less confident about revenue growth over the next 12 months than their peers in other sectors, but are more optimistic about their company’s revenue prospects in the next three years, according to PwC’s 16th Annual Global CEO Survey released recently in Davos,

Switzerland.

“The CEOs of forest, paper and packaging companies are a resilient bunch.

Recently they’ve faced challenges such as shifting demand and markets, a bumpy economy, overcapacity, environmental issues and rising costs,” said Bruce McIntyre, Leader of PwC’s Forest, Paper and Packing

practice in Canada. “CEOs have identified their top three priorities: enhancing operational effectiveness; investing in innovation and R&D; and developing new business models.”

Improving operational effectiveness and investing in R&D McIntyre says, “FPP CEOs are intensely focused

on trimming any fat from operations.” The survey found 92% of sector CEOs have implemented a costreduction initiative in the past 12 months, and 89% are planning to in the coming 12 months. This result is higher than the overall average of 70% of CEOs across all sectors in the PwC survey. Some of the cost reduction reported was through staff cuts, which are expected to continue, with 18% of FPP CEOs reporting plans to cut their workforce by more than 8% this year.

R&D and innovation is a top priority for 42% of FPP CEOs in the next 12 months—a full 10% higher than the overall average across the entire CEO Survey. Almost three-quarters of the FPP CEOs said they will make changes to increase capacity for innovation and R&D. Targeting pockets of opportunity Half of the FPP CEOs surveyed have entered into a new strategic alliance or joint venture in the past year, 34% completed a cross-border M&A and 32% completed a domestic M&A. “The high degree of transactions and partnerships reflects the broadening uses being found for fibre such as bioproducts, biofuels, and textiles.”

CEOs reported plans to conduct even more deals in the coming 12 months, with 58% contemplating a strategic alliance or joint venture, 47% a cross-border M&A, and 34% a domestic M&A. Other key findings from the FPP CEO Survey include: • Every FPP CEO surveyed said that customer service was a key differentiator, the only sector in the full survey where 100% reported that customers influence their strategy.

• Seventy-five per cent of FPP CEOs worry that energy and raw material costs could pose a threat to growth, far more than the average across the overall survey sample.

• Ninety-five per cent reported that supply chain partners are influencing

April 2013 their strategy, and the large majority of CEOs are increasing efforts to engage with them.

• Nearly three quarters (71%) of FPP CEOs plan to increase their company’s focus on reducing their environmental footprint, while 18% will continue at their current levels.

McIntyre concludes: “While trends for the FPP sector are very similar in Canada to those found worldwide, there are some notable differences. We don’t think staff reductions will be as severe in Canada; in fact we’re hearing concern from some Canadian forest products companies about the looming shortfall of qualified labour. If the US housing market rebounds and demand from China continues to grow we could have a labour shortage in Canada.”

Survey Methodology: For PwC’s 16th Annual Global CEO Survey, 1,330 interviews were conducted in 68 countries during the last quarter of 2012, including 38 FPP CEOs in 15 countries. This year’s survey looked at key items on CEO agendas around the world including confidence in growth, current threats like the availability of talent, approaches to leadership and the need to rebuild trust. By region, 449 interviews were conducted in Asia Pacific, 312 in Western Europe, 287 in North America, including 120 in Canada and 167 in the U.S., 165 in Latin America, 95 in Central & Eastern Europe, 50 in Africa and 32 in the Middle East. b

High-Density Fuels Rise In Housing Starts In ontario

Housing starts across Ontario are up by 14 percent from January to November compared to the same period last year, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Ontario communities have maintained a strong residential market with over half its urban centers posting gains from last year.

While the data shows decreases in single-detached housing starts, high-den-

sity housing continues to grow and drive the market.

“The 2012 housing starts continue to be stable across the province with significant rowth in some of our larger urban centers,” said Joe Vaccaro, COO of Ontario Home Builders’ Association. “These starts reflect sales in the previous years but the slowing sales trend across the province will have an impact on 2013 starts.” b

“Regional governments and municipalities are confirming that properly managed biosolids are a valuable resource that can play a significant role in improving environmental and economic bottom lines,” said Lystek’s Director of Business Development, Kevin Litwiller. “Our technology is helping generators rethink what is ‘waste’ and what is a ‘resource’.

Responsible biosolids management is a major consideration for wastewater treatment plant operators and our patented, market-leading technologies and services are helping to reduce costs, volumes of output and odour concerns.”

Lystek, the 12 yearold company originally founded at the University of Waterloo, has seen a significant increase in interest from municipalities over the past 12 months. In addition to installations that have been operating successfully for a number of years at the City of Guelph and St Mary’s, Ontario, the company’s technology will also be a central pivot point in the new $21.5 million wastewater treatment plant currently under development in Centre Wel-

lington. It is expected to be operational in early 2014.

The process has also been contracted for the management of biosolids for the Cities of Toronto, Peterborough and Ottawa.

Additionally, Lystek is just weeks away from commissioning a multi-million dollar, state-of-the-art, organic material recovery centre (OMRC) just a little northwest of the Region of Waterloo. It already has contracts in place to accept and process municipal biosolids into a Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) registered fertilizer for agricultural use. The OMRC will also be accepting and processing biosolids and non-hazardous, organic material from other Ontario municipalities and generators. Based on these prospects, the company is forecasting double digit growth over the next 24 months.

The company’s patented technology is acknowledged as a leading approach to turning biosolids into a high-solid, pathogenfree, nutrient-rich, bio-fertilizer product. The process uses a unique combination of heat, high-shear mixing and alkali to create a safe, sustainable, low-odour fer-

tilizer in high demand from farmers.

Customers appreciate the benefits of Lystek technology. “The addition of the state-of-the-art Lystek solution to our wastewater treatment plant operation is playing a vital role in contributing to our goal of being a progressive, industry leader in biosolids management,” comments Janet Laird, Executive Director of Planning and Building, Engineering & Environment for the city of Guelph.

This coming year, the company will continue its focus on expanding its products offerings and services to municipalities throughout Ontario, Quebec, Western Canada and the U.S. Lystek has also begun discussions with commercial organizations, such as food processors, who must also manage their organic waste, to explore the use of Lystek technology to recycle this valuable material and reduce operating expenses.

Lystek International Inc. is an organic materials recovery firm that is helping companies and municipalities reduce waste, costs, odours and greenhouse gas emissions through its innovative approach to biosolids management Lystek technology contributes to landfill diversion by transforming non-hazardous, organic material into nutrient rich, CFIA registered fertilizer. b

Huge Gap In Canada-US Tire Prices The Senate Committee on Finance has confirmed the Tire Dealers Association of Canada’s (TDAC) findings that discriminatory “country pricing” by tire manufacturers is forcing tire consumers across Canada to pay anywhere from 30 to 50% more for the same tires selling in the US. “Many US-based tire manufacturers use their supplier contracts with

2013 KENWORTH T800

Canadian tire retailers to force them to buy tires wholesale directly from their Canadian affiliates rather than directly through much less costly US wholesale distribution channels.” Says Bob Bignell, Chair of the Tire Price Disparity Committee of the Tire Dealers Association of Canada, adding, “If a Canadian retailer buys wholesale tires from

a US wholesale distributor rather than through the manufacturer’s Canadian sales division, both the Canadian retailer and the US distributor have their supplies of tires cut off by the manufacturer.

In the end it’s the Canadian tire consumer who gets gouged by higher tire prices.”

Call Danny 403-478-0357 or 1-888-253-7555 ber 2011, TDAC wrote to Finance Minister Jim Flaherty noting that, “Incredibly the wholesale prices of tires manufactured in Canada are 30% cheaper in the United States than in Canada.”

Bob Bignell notes that, “Given that the US and Canadian dollars have been at parity for a long time, that many tires sold at higher prices in Canada are made here and that there are no import duties or tariffs on imported tires, there is no excuse whatsoever for tire prices in Canada to be more than 5% higher than they are in the United States. There is simply no rationale whatsoever for a tire made in Nova Scotia to cost a Nova Scotian more than an American.”

Over the next year TDAC will be undertaking a number of measures to protect Canadian consumers in the next year: • A Canada-U.S. border-wide, brand-by-brand tire price survey of passenger, light truck and medium-truck tire prices to highlight the worst offenders in penalizing Canadians on tire pricing; • Publishing the re-

sults of those price surveys and making those results available to consumers and Canadian regulators; • Petitioning tire manufacturers directly on behalf of Canadian tire consumers to get them to recognize the consumer

impacts of the massive disparity between Canadian and US wholesale tire prices. The basic premise of TDAC’s position to manufacturers is that “There is no excuse for Canadians paying more for tires than Americans do.” b

Doosan DX190w wheel excavator Features more power And performance The Doosan DX190W-3 wheel excavator combines increased power and performance with interim Tier 4 (iT4) updates. New technologies make this excavator ideal for highway and street development, site development, scrap handling, sewer and water work, and dealer rental.

The DX190W-3 is powered by a 176-horsepower, 6-cylinder DL06KB water-cooled diesel engine that has been optimized for use with a Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (CEGR) system, Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC) and Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). The engines in this configuration are optimized to reduce Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) and after-treatment is needed to reduce particulate matter, to comply with iT4 emission regulations.

The turbocharged engine features a high-pressure common-rail design with direct fuel injection, electronic control and four valves per cylinder.

Performance The Electronic Power Optimizing System (EPOS) provides optimum power and fuel efficiency via four work modes,

auto-idle and machine diagnostics. Operators can work more effectively with multiple operating modes, easy-to-read display monitors and precise control levers. The new Power + mode provides improved performance and faster workgroup speeds for heavy-duty work. Four work modes — digging, breaker, shear and the new lifting mode — allow operators to get maximum efficiency and fuel economy in specific applications.

A new electronic fan clutch reduces fuel consumption and noise levels, while providing cooling system improvements. Outriggers can be controlled individually to level the machine on uneven surfaces. The front axle oscillates and provides excellent steering angles for maneuverability, but can be locked for better digging and lifting performance.

Options The DX190W-3 features a new Intelligent Floating Boom option that allows the boom of the excavator to “float” up or down, allowing the operator to focus more on the task while decreasing the machine workload and

increasing efficiency. Intelligent Floating Boom mode allows the boom to move freely up and down without hydraulic flow; and in breaker mode the boom is allowed to move freely down, only without hydraulic flow. A temporary reset button allows the ability to momentarily disengage the float, allowing hydraulic flow to activate the boom. Also offered is an air compressor, which is ideal for operators in remote and dusty locations to blow out the cab or filters.

Comfort Doosan continues to focus on operator comfort with further enhancements to the RollOver Protective Structure (ROPS) cabin. Both a seat height lever and tilting function for the seat cushion were added to the seat to allow the operator to find an optimum seating position.

The cabin mounting mechanism has been improved with a thickened dampening plate, and an internal coil spring has been added to reduce cabin vibration 20 percent, allowing operators to work longer days with less fatigue.

wire Rope Replacement extended To 10 years For Select Genie Boom lifts Select Genie boom lifts now feature extended replacement intervals for boom extend/retract cables. The required replacement period has been increased to 10 years - three years longer than the previously accepted industry standard of seven years.

Replacement of the boom extend/retract cables is essential to good machine performance and safe machine operation.

“Providing customers with an industry-leading timeframe of 10 years between required cable replacements offers more equipment uptime and a lower cost of ownership over the potential life of a machine,” said Bob Bartley, Director Technical Services, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP). “In the spirit of continual improvement, we will analyze additional products with similar requirements, seeking further solutions for our customers.”

Service changes ap-

ply to the entire Genie S60/S-65 and S-100 through S-125 model families. The extended replacement interval applies to all current and previously produced versions of these models.

Related service changes are represented in the most current Service Manuals provided by Terex AWP, manufacturer of Genie brand equipment.

The boom extend/retract cables are responsible for the extension and retraction of the number 3 boom tube. It is important to note that, in addition to the new mandatory 10 year cable replacement, regular inspection and proper adjustment of the boom extend/retract cables remains essential to good machine performance and safe machine operation for the life of the machine. The boom extend/ retract functions should operate smoothly and be free of hesitation, jerking and unusual noise. b

ontario labour Blitzes workplace Hazards In Construction And mining Ontario will conduct three heightened enforcement blitzes at workplaces across the province this winter. Inspectors from the Ministry of Labour will visit: • Underground mines to check on diesel emissions and other hazards that could affect air quality in January and February; • Industrial and construction workplaces to check for slips, trips and falls hazards in February and March; • Health care workplaces to check on workplace violence and harassment in February and March.

The blitzes will: • Raise awareness of health and safety in the workplace; • Prevent injuries and illnesses that could arise from unsafe work practices; • Check that workplaces are complying with the law.

During blitzes, inspectors will check on condition and maintenance of safety equipment, worker train-

ing, the use of safety equipment and potential health and safety hazards to help prevent workplace injuries.

Protecting workers on the job is part of the McGuinty government’s continued commitment to preventing workplace injuries through its Safe at Work Ontario strategy, while creating jobs.

Quick Facts • The blitzes are part of Ontario’s enforcement strategy to increase compliance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and its regulations.

• This past fall blitzes also targeted supervision at construction sites, machine guarding hazards at industrial workplaces, infection prevention and control at health care workplaces and ore transfer in underground mines.

• Since 2008, ministry inspectors have conducted more than 345,000 field visits, 47 inspection blitzes and issued more than 560,000 compliance orders in Ontario workplaces. b

S-Wall Now Available From PHOENIX Conveyor Belt Systems PHOENIX Conveyor Belt Systems is expanding its supply capability for steep incline conveying applications. PHOENIX S-Wall is the latest generation of corrugated sidewall belts. The British company Specialised Belting Supplies Ltd. has recently become part of PHOENIX Conveyor Belt Systems. The conveyor belts will continue to be manufactured to the highest quality at the modernized production facilities in Thetford.

The PHOENIX S-Wall corrugated sidewall belts are among the latest developments for steep conveyance applications. Since the belts are designed for steep incline conveying at angles of up to 90 degrees, they are ideal for applications where space is at a premium. At the expanded production facilities in Thetford, in addition to conventional production using the cold-bonding method, customers also have the option of having the corrugated side-

walls and cleats attached through vulcanization.

This results in a particularly heat-resistant connection, which enables the conveyor belts to be used at even higher temperatures.

In addition, a newly developed rubber compound for corrugated sidewalls and cleats ensures that they cope with the high demands of especially steep conveyance angles.

These hard-wearing materials can significantly increase the service life of conveyor belts and prevent time-intensive maintenance and repair work.

The corrugated sidewall belts are tested in own test facilities to ensure their excellent quality.

Sidewall Conveyor Belts for steep angle conveying have six main advantages: No transfer points: From the feed hopper to the discharge point, the belt is capable of turning through any angle up to a vertical line and back to the horizontal.

No Spillage: Once material is loaded onto the belt it is effectively contained between the Sidewalls and is prevented by the cross cleats from falling back. As the belt travels along the conveying line it retains the load within its own ‘side skirts’, eliminating spillage.

Maximum Utilisation of Space: In areas where land is at a premium, i.e. dockside, or within existing plants where space is a problem, the S-Wall sidewall conveyor belt system provides the ideal solution.

With the ability to convey

material at angles up to 90° the required ground space is minimal.

Minimum Maintenance: The belt itself requires minimum maintenance and the reduced number of moving parts plus simple conveyor construction virtually eliminates costly downtime.

Wide range of materials can be handled: With the extensive range of belt sizes available, the S-Wall sidewall conveyor belt system is capable of handling almost all materials: large lumps, free flowing, deli-

Page 23

cate or fragile substances, highly abrasive material, light weight or heavy loads.

Low Power Requirement: S-Wall sidewall conveyor belt system required low power to move the loaded belt. Because the system can elevate at steep angles (up to 90°) centre distances tend to be small and even in high lift applications power required to elevate is considerably less than in other systems.

S-Wall sidewalls are available in four basic product groups: Type S, the standard construction

is produced in heights from 40mm to 120mm. Type SR is the same as the standard construction but with diagonal fabric reinforcement.

The heavy duty construction type HDSR includes fabric reinforcement as standard in heights from 120mm to 300mm. The fabric reinforcement is of the diagonal type ensuring maximum flexibility with high vertical stability. The heavy duty special design from type XHDSR includes fabric reinforcement as standard in heights from 300mm to 630mm. b
