New Doosan Telematics System Remotely Monitors Equipment In response to greater demand for machine-tomachine communication, machine intelligence and remote equipment monitoring, Doosan has introduced an upgraded telematics package for its heavy equipment including excavators, wheel loaders and articulated dump trucks. The new system is called Doosan Telematics, and will be standard on all Doosan equipment, except for DX63-3 and DX85R-3 compact excavators.

How does it work?

Doosan Telematics provides a connected machine solution that allows customers and dealers to remotely track and monitor Doosan heavy equipment. Each new Doosan machine that arrived at Doosan dealerships after July 1, 2014, came with a complimentary three-year subscription, including prepaid wireless service.

Customers can monitor their Doosan equipment remotely from an Internetenabled device and an upgraded Doosan Telematics website called CoreTMS. After the three years of prepaid wireless service expires, customers will have the option to purchase a service extension. Doosan has offered a telematics solution since 2008, and customers who have an active telematics subscription can access the new CoreTMS website for machine details and reports.

The new Doosan Telematics system includes the following elements: • GPS unit: Helps Doosan equipment owners or fleet managers monitor the machine’s location.

• Q-Pro wireless data modem and wireless service: The modem sends data collected from sensors on the machine to a website via a cellular signal.

• Satellite antenna and service: Provides a communication link when the Doosan machine is working in remote locations and cellular service is not available.

• CoreTMS website: The new website offers Doosan customers access to many useful reports and important machine data.

Benefits to customers The Doosan Telematics system puts more information in the hands of customers to help them better manage their heavy construction equipment. Owners can monitor operational data and make recommendations to operators to improve machine usage and fuel efficiency. For example, owners can see if the operator lets the machine idle for a long time when the machine should be turned off, saving valuable diesel fuel.

Operational data also gives owners insight to monitoring the machine’s fuel efficiency and the selected power mode in different applications. This is helpful to determine if an operator can make adjustments in order to do the same work with less diesel fuel. Doosan machines provide operators with various power modes to help them best match the power needed to specific applications.

Improved maintenance scheduling Monitoring maintenance schedules is made easier with the Doosan Telematics system. Equipment owners can review a machine’s maintenance history through the telematics website and identify what preventive maintenance is coming up. Fuel levels for each machine can be reviewed simply from the website, eliminating the need to physically visit each machine to check fuel levels, and allowing the customer to minimize trips for the fuel truck.

If a problem does arise, Doosan Telematics alerts owners to help reduce machine downtime. The website reports fault and warning codes, and owners or their dealer can be more prepared to fix the problem when they respond because they will have more data about what’s wrong with the machine. Dealers can view the problem on the CoreTMS website to help diagnose an issue, without physically being in the same location as the machine.

With all of the information available from Doosan Telematics, business owners can make better

estimates when completing job bids and planning for jobs. Accurate machine usage reports, such as the number of hours a machine was used for a particular job, help owners respond to new business opportunities.

Reduced equipment theft Doosan Telematics will help to reduce owners’ concerns about equipment theft. It’s estimated that in the United States, nearly $1 billion worth of equipment is stolen annually. Doosan Telematics is particularly useful for improving fleet management by giving customers visibility to all machine details through the CoreTMS website. Customers can monitor the physical location of their Doosan machine, ensuring it is where it is supposed to be, which helps prevent equipment theft.

Telematics reports The new Doosan Telematics system allows customers, fleet managers and dealers to efficiently track machine information. Below is a sample of the many reports available from the Doosan Telematics system: • Fleet status • Machine details • Location of the machine (position displayed on Google Maps mapping service) • Operating hours • Fuel usage • Engine idle time vs. work time (revolutions per minute)

• Error codes • Engine and hydraulic oil temperatures • Maintenance history • Next maintenance time • Utilization reports, including graphs One advantage the Doo-

Inaugural AED Ottawa Briefing At Parliament Hill Leaders of the Canadian equipment industry convened at the nation’s capital on Oct. 30 for Associated Equipment Distributors’ (AED) inaugural Ottawa Briefing.

The meeting featured remarks by Chris Alexander, Canada’s Citizenship and Immigration Minister, panels on infrastructure, energy, tax, and workforce policy, a discussion about provincial road construction programs, and a preview of the 2015 Canadian federal elections.

“One of AED’s most important responsibilities is to make sure distributors understand how they’re affected by government policy and to make lawmakers understand how their decisions affect our industry,” said Brian McGuire, AED’s President and CEO. “You won’t find a better example

of that work than what’s happening right here, right now in Ottawa. We’re planting seeds on Parliament Hill that will bear fruit across the country for years to come.”

The conference reflects the continuing evolution of AED’s Canadian public policy program and a commitment by the association to raise the industry’s visibility in Canada. The association is ramping up its activities in Ottawa at a critical time, as lawmakers are laying the groundwork for the new federal budget and devising party election platforms.

AED’s Canadian priorities include the continued implementation of the $53 billion New Building Canada Plan, which promises to generate more than $3.4 billion in equipment market activity nationwide;

Dufferin Aggregates Recognized As One Of Canada’s Safest Employers Dufferin Aggregates, a division of Holcim (Canada) Inc., is proud to have been recognized as one of Canada’s Safest Employers in 2014. This honour identifies Canadian companies that are making a difference in promoting the health and safety of their workers, and operating a safe and successful organization.

Dufferin Aggregates was selected as silver winner in the mining and natural resources category. This is the second time in as many years that the company has been recognized by the Canada’s Safest Employer program.

Apart from meeting criteria related to excellent safety performance, part of the nomination process for the program involved employees to complete an Employee Safety Perception Survey, which helps to gauge the safety culture at an organization and how successful the com-

pany has been in communicating and embedding health and safety at a grassroots level. Being selected as one of Canada’s Safest Employers continues a positive trend for the company, and demonstrates the results of its philosophy of Zero Harm which encourages positive, proactive prevention to create a culture that demonstrates a commitment to every person going home safely at the end of every day.

“Achieving our vision of ZERO Harm is an everyday challenge. I am proud of Dufferin Aggregates employees who have integrated their commitment to this goal into everything they do. They have embraced our vision and understand that our goal can only be reached if we all contribute individually and as a team - from our OH&S professionals, to management, to field employees,” said Ed Persico,

December 2014 policies to build Canada’s skilled technical workforce; tax reform to create a more favourable capital investment climate; and regulatory policy to ensure the continued strength of Canada’s energy and mining sectors.

The association is also leading efforts in Washington, D.C., to approve the Keystone XL pipeline and build the new Detroit-Windsor bridge, issues that impact distributors on both sides of the border.

Considering both the opportunities and tests facing Canadian industry, it is essential for equipment distributors to be engaged in Ottawa, advised Christian A. Klein, AED’s Vice President of Government Affairs. “We’re working hard to get our members a seat at the table in Ottawa, to ensure their voices are heard and that their issues are at the forefront,” Klein said. “We’re thrilled that so many dealers rose to the challenge, joined us in Ottawa, and helped make this meeting such a success.” b General Manager, Dufferin Aggregates.

“Occupational health and safety professionals from all across Canada work tirelessly to promote the safety and well-being of their workforce, said Amanda Silliker, Editor of Canadian Occupational Safety. “Canada’s Safest Employers awards give the opportunity to recognize these hard-working individuals and celebrate the culture of safety they have helped foster in their organizations. From innovative safety programs, employee engagement and training to wellness programs and strong management support, these winning employers are setting an excellent example for others to follow.”

Behind The Scenes: Equipment Inspections And Reports When purchasing used heavy equipment online, buyers don’t get to touch the equipment and see it in person. Instead, they rely on information provided by the selling organization or individual.

Equipment inspections are an important part of a reliable transaction, so buyers should understand how the inspection process works and what to look for in an inspection report in order to make more informed decisions.

What does an equipment inspection entail?

A professional who has extensive experience assessing heavy equipment should conduct the inspection. This person is essentially the buyer’s eyes and ears because the buyer can’t physically operate the equipment before purchasing it online.

The inspection process involves evaluating the entire machine, inside and out, to determine

the current condition of the equipment. Inspectors should make note of whether the equipment starts and operates normally and verify that the transmission engages in forward, reverse and all gears. Structural and mechanical issues and cosmetic damage should also be documented so that a buyer is aware of everything from engine problems to broken glass.

The ideal inspection report An inspection report should highlight the true condition of the equipment. Important attributes of a high-quality inspection report include: • Accessibility: Inspection reports should be free and easily accessible ahead of the sale.

In the case of an online auction, making reports available before the day of the event lets potential bidders vet the equipment being sold and prepare in advance.

• Ratings and descriptions: An inspection report should include ratings of a machine’s key systems and components as well as comments that provide rationale for the ratings.

Detailed descriptions should be provided so that the buyer not only understands the condition of the equipment but the features available.

• Laboratory analysis: The inspection reports should include laboratory analysis of oil and fluids in major components and systems for contaminants and wear metals.

• Abundance of quality imagery: Since buyers rely on photos when bidding on equipment, it’s important for images to be high quality and for the inspection report to include images of every aspect of the equipment.

• Consistency: Inspectors should develop the reports using a standardized process so that the information is consistent from report to report. For instance, two

backhoe loaders should be inspected to the same technical standards. Although equipment condition may be different, the reports will highlight the same key systems and components.

• Buyer protection: The inspection report should be backed by a guarantee so that the buyer knows the report is a true representation

of the condition of the equipment. This allows buyers to bid on equipment with a high degree of confidence.

Owners purchasing used heavy equipment online must rely on data and images to make an educated decision. Since used equipment is a big investment, buyers should seek out selling platforms that employ trained professionals to conduct thorough in-

spections and compile free, detailed inspection reports for each piece of equipment. With an abundance of information at their fingertips and an understanding of the true condition of the equipment, buyers can make a more informed decision on used fleet purchases. b

tion, allowing operators to work flush against a structure to help minimize damaging nearby objects.

Working with the jobsite One major feature of the E20 is its retractable rubber track undercarriage. When the undercarriage is fully retracted, the overall width is reduced from 53½ inches to 39 inches — making the E20 an ideal choice for traveling through gates or next to property lines.

The E20’s undercarriage is 5½ inches longer than the 324 excavator model, which provides enhanced trenching capabilities, especially when working over the rear of the excavator.

Improved cab design Unique to the E20 is a new, roomier cab design that gives the operator excellent visibility to the attachment and the working area. Bobcat already provides the largest cabs with the most spacious cab openings in the industry to increase operator comfort, and operators will continue to see these same features in the E20.

An easy-to-open front window and lower portal window, along with a redesigned heater are included with the optional enclosed cab.

Optimized ergonomics From the operator’s perspective, an easy-toread instrument panel has been updated to match larger Bobcat compact excavator panels. The E20 features superior boom swing control, which offers improved control of the boom swing function. By moving the boom swing control to the joystick, it frees up floor space for more foot room.

An auto-shift travel function provides operators with automatic high-andlow range shifting.

An optional passwordprotected keyless start is available for the E20, so an owner can program a desired five -digit code.

This function has proven to deter machine theft and minimize unauthorized use. An additional optional feature of the E20 is a radio and speakers for

December 2014 improved operator enjoyment when working.

Attachment readiness The E20 features a variety of attachments, including three trenching buckets, a grading bucket, a clamp, a hydraulic breaker and an auger.

There is no need for manual labor and tools when using the versatile E20 and attachments.

Another major feature on the new E20 is blade extension mounting system, which is held in place by pins. The pins can be removed to extend or retract the dozer blade with no tools needed. The dozer blade helps E20 operators efficiently grade, level, doze or backfill soil.

Operators can raise and lower the blade with a conveniently located dozer blade lever located near the right-hand joystick.

Uptime performance An integrated slew brake is a new feature on the E20 excavator, which eliminates the need for an operator to engage the slew brake when transporting a machine, providing infinite brake positioning. This feature provides for easier loading and more options when positioning on the trailer. A dual direction, cushioned arm cylinder and a cylinder-over-boom design — providing protection for the boom cylinder — are additional features of the E20. Also, the E20 is clamp ready — it comes with a clamp cylinder mount and port relief — to grab, lift and carry objects.

Simple serviceability The side-hinged, rear service access door is one of the largest compared to its competitors, allowing for daily check points and filter access. A side door provides access to coolers and the battery — adding unobstructed access to the cooling system for routine maintenance.

Filters, fluids and the air cleaner, are all easily accessible in the swingopen tailgate, providing easy maintenance at the operators’ fingertips.

The engine also utilizes a pusher fan where air is pulled from the engine area and pushed through coolers at the side of the machine. This helps to minimize hot engine air from reaching the operator, and keeping the operator cool. b

Right On Target: Intelligent Compaction Drives Quality And Productivity Compaction equipment is about as straight forward as it gets: weight, movement and vibration are used to compact construction materials (soil, gravel, asphalt) to required specifications. But there is a science to that compaction, and intelligent compaction technologies – ranging from simple meters to automated systems that adjust machine performance for the operator – help simplify operation and allow contractors to improve productivity by getting work done right the first time.

Getting it done right the first time is the most important factor at play here: most agencies require the contractor to come in and repair improperly compacted surfaces at no cost. This is where intelligent compaction provides the greatest benefit, allowing you to move forward on paid work versus doubling back and working for free.

Style 1: Simple Rebound Detection Intelligent compaction technology comes in different varieties. It can be as simple as a compaction meter. A compaction meter tells the operator how much rebound there is on the drum, so the operator can adjust as needed.

This ability to continuously monitor and react to the data is invaluable.

If there’s too much rebound, the operator knows that the material is well compacted and they can lower vibration. If there’s little to no rebound, there’s still a lot of force going into the ground, which means the area isn’t fully compacted yet and the operator needs to continue their operations or determine if the compacted material is still good.

Style 2: Instructing the Operator Based on RealTime Material Conditions The next level of intelligent compaction actu-

ally provides the operator with recommended operating settings/conditions based on the feedback it gets from real-time conditions of the compacted material. This is based on desired stiffness settings.

The desired stiffness is pre-set based on a benchmark pass that’s already met requirements. It lets the operator know within a range of where they should be operating as the compactor travels along.

The display screen shows operators the miles per hour they should be traveling in and the level of vibration that should be set. The operator still handles all the adjustments, but the system gives them guidelines of where they should be operating.

This method is more advanced than simple compaction meters because it displays the parameters being worked within, allowing the operator to intervene in the compaction

process and learn as they go. It’s up to them to take action.

It’s important to note that these technologies measure stiffness, not density. Nuclear density meters, the most accepted measurement tools in the industry, measure how dense the ground is.

Measuring stiffness is said to be a better indicator than density. If a company strictly goes off of the data from a nuclear density meter, they’re not getting load-bearing capabilities.

A nuclear density test is still required, but it will be more accurate and there will be a higher chance of passing if intelligent compaction is used.

Style 3: Automating the Process The third level of intelligent compaction is the “deluxe” compaction option. It’s a system that will adjust the vibration of the drums automatically as it goes along, so the only thing the operator worries about is steering and the speed at which they’re traveling.

These systems are more advanced and rely more heavily on electronics, so some manufacturers place these systems strictly into enclosed cab units to avoid dust and protect the electronics.

These machines that automatically adjust themselves tackle the feat in a few ways. It can be with weights that offset from one another, so the operator goes from being at full amplitude, to low, to completely offsetting each other with no amplitude and no vibration. The other style features the weights turning themselves, changing from being an up-anddown vibration to oscillation. It decreases to the lowest possible frequency and shuts itself off when it’s done.

A Word on Temperature Readings Another important factor that a good intelligent compaction system will monitor in paving applications is the temperature of the asphalt. Depending on the mix of asphalt, it either has to be compacted at temperatures up to 425 degrees. As soon as it starts to get too cold, it will no longer compact correctly – it will start to ripple, shove and crack. Asphalt temperature is extremely important, and these systems

Intelligent compaction technologies help simplify operation and allow contractors to improve productivity by getting work done right the first time. help ensure that compaction is taking place at an acceptable temperature.

Taking it to the Next Level with Mapping Technology Documentation is a standard function on many intelligent compaction systems. The system can document and display (either via printout or on a computer) the details of every pass so the contractor can prove the job was performed to spec. The future of documentation and intelligent compaction, however, lies in the hands of mapping technologies. Unlike the standard documentation feature, owners can plug in the coordinates of the jobsite and match that up with the information documented through the intelligent compaction system. This new combination of data and location helps show where the passes were, how many passes were made, the compaction levels, what the parameters were and more.

With the intricate detail of the mapping systems, if there’s an area on the jobsite that’s not reaching compaction levels, contractors will be able to pinpoint exactly where it is. This is crucial because there could be bad base materials underneath or some other obstruction that is impeding the ability to achieve proper compaction. Without the mapping technologies, the operator simply knows that there is a bad patch somewhere on the lift. They may be able to make an educated guess as to where it is, but they won’t be able to pinpoint it. With the mapping technology, they can make targeted adjustments or repairs.

These mapping solutions take intelligent com-

paction to a whole new level and are not difficult to integrate as many jobsites already have the system set up for machine control technology used on dozers, graders, etc.

Benefits from the Ground Up Not only do these systems offer increased productivity and the ability to get the job done quicker due to optimal performing parameters, but they also offer lower costs because of the lesser chance of coming in and doing re-work.

With such a rapid increase in compaction quality during the initial passes, fewer passes are needed to reach the target specs. The result of fewer passes may include savings in time, fuel and machine maintenance – as well as avoiding pitfalls related to under or over compaction.

Another major selling point is simplified training. Contractors can put a newer operator on the compaction machine and it will help them understand how to efficiently run the machine. While these systems are getting more intelligent, the human factor is critical, and simplified training helps bring those operators up to speed. They’ll be able to see certain looks or hear sounds that tell them when they’ve reached optimum compaction, which they’ll start to recognize more quickly in the future.

With its long list of benefits, intelligent compaction is the future of productive, efficient compaction technology. The benefits in productivity, operating costs, quality and training/ operator performance are too great to not consider.

After all, what could be better than a more intelligent future? b

Since then Volvo has continually updated the model range in response to customer demand, as well as the Volvo core values of safety, quality and environmental care – and is now recognized as the industry leader in operator comfort, stability and productivity.

The Tier 4 Final / Stage IV-compliant C-Series motor graders consists of four models — G930C, G940C, G946C (AWD) and G960C, catering to customers’ typical grading applications.

The G900C motor graders are built in the Volvo Construction Equipment manufacturing facility in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania and will be offered to customers throughout North America and Europe.

Five percent less fuel consumption The new C-Series motor graders include the latest D8J engines, designed and built by Volvo, delivering the ultimate combination of high performance, quiet operation and low fuel consumption. The engines provide three variable power ranges when equipped with a standard eight-speed transmission and eight variable power ranges when equipped with an optional 11-speed transmission. Preliminary tests show savings of up to 5 percent in fuel consumption with superior reliability, durability and ease of operation. “Customers appreciate running

high duty cycles on 10hour shifts without having to top off with fuel,” says Rick Fines, product manager motor graders, Volvo Construction Equipment.

The standard eightspeed or optional 11-speed transmissions have been further enhanced, providing self-calibration for extra smooth gear changes, an anti-stalling feature and automatic speed matching gears.

Comfort cab The clean and comfortable operator environment, with effective noise insulation and climate control, helps eliminate operator fatigue for accurate and productive work shifts. All models have a spacious,

standard-equipped ROPS/ FOPS certified cab with excellent visibility to the moldboard, as well as allround visibility to the work site. Adjustment of the conventional hydraulic controls has been improved to suit various operator requirements.

The C-Series hydraulics and steering can be controlled by traditional levers and a steering wheel or optional joystick controls.

Optional joystick controls further simplify machine operation.

Transmission directional and gear upshift and downshift controls are incorporated in the joystick controls, including stop-at-

centre articulation control.

Operators can customize moldboard hydraulic response with an intuitive touch screen to suit skill level or grading application. When equipped with joystick controls, the G900C-Series offers full plug-and-play compatibility for fast installation of multiple brands of automatic blade control systems.

The G900C-Series also incorporates a new brake application system, to apply four independent multiple wet-disc brake units featuring cross-over actuation and accumulator backup for highly reliable and

safe operation.

Frame and attachments The new G900C-Series motor graders are eligible for an industry exclusive Lifetime Frame and Structure Warranty, including the centre articulation pins and bushings. The optional warranty applies to the original machine owner.

All models of the G900C-Series range are built with the tool carrier concept, and a full perimeter rear frame is the ideal platform for mounting rippers and snow wings. The mounting locations for all common attachments from Volvo and third party sup-

Additional new features Additional machine options include engine idle shutdown with variable time delay settings, an antitheft system, LED headlights and work lights, and a portable LED service light for the engine compartment. Operators also have

the option to pre-program the shuttle shift to allow unrestricted gear shifts when moving between forward and reverse gears — without using the brakes or inching pedal.

Tracking made easy The easy-to-read Volvo Contronics instrument panel displays machine operation and performance in real time. Integrated with the Volvo MATRIS system, the grader records numerous operational data points, providing a comprehensive overview of machine utilization and per-

formance. The exclusive Volvo CareTrack system enables remote machine monitoring, allowing fleet managers to access operational information in a matter of seconds, despite being hundreds of miles from the work site. Volvo dealers can utilize CareTrack to remotely access fault codes on purchased and leased machines in an effort to streamline service requirements.

Final Section Of TransCanada Highway In New Brunswick Opens To Traffic

an 11 kilometer section to Degelis in 2013.

“I am delighted this section of highway connecting Quebec and New Brunswick is now open,” said Robert Poëti, Quebec Transportation Minister. “I would like, as well, to acknowledge the exemplary collaboration between our two administrations in getting this work done. With the twinning of this section to Route 85, users can now benefit from a trade corridor that is much improved and much safer on both sides of the border.”

“We have reached a milestone for twinning Route 2 in New Brunswick,” said Melanson.

“We now have a four-lane TransCanada Highway in our province all the way to Nova Scotia.” b

The TransCanada Highway (Route 2) between Saint-Jacques and the border with Quebec recently opened to four lanes of traffic.

“The completion of this $17 million project is important for economic development and for the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on the TransCanada corridor,” said Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Roger Melanson. “It will improve highway safety in this region and makes our province more accessible and attractive to visitors, business and industry.”

Design work for the 2.8 kilometer stretch of highway began in 2010. Work included an interchange at the provincial boundary. Built in partnership with the Quebec provincial government, which provided $2.3 million for the construction and future maintenance of the new structure, the interchange is near the New Brunswick Visitor Information Centre.

In September 2014, Quebec opened an 8.5 kilometer section of newlytwinned TransCanada Highway (Route 85) between Dégelis and New Brunswick, after finishing

Kobelco SK35SR Remediates Old Oil Tank Residents and patients of the Homestead Rehabilitation and Homecare Center in rural Sussex County, NJ, enjoy 14-acres with magnificent country views, including two tranquil ponds, gardens and several buildings. Long a part of the county’s history, the 102-bed facility was recently in need of some grounds maintenance. One of the projects to be completed was the removal and remediation of an old oil tank.

With underground tanks raising concerns over environmental safety, the property owners felt it was time to remove and replace it.

As with most construction projects, this one came with a few challenges. The underground tank was very close to the side wall of one of the buildings in the complex, further complicated by the fact that high voltage electrical wires were run through the tank to the building. The complexity of the job due to the tight working quarters required a specialized remediation contractor along with a

small and nimble machine that could operate with finesse.

GWS Contractors of South Brunswick, NJ, a company specializing in environmental remediation and structural support, was hired to complete the work after another company abandoned the job upon discovery of the high voltage wires. At that point, only half of the oil tank had been removed.

With the help of a Kobelco SK35SR, 8,200 lb., 30.2 hp. cab model excavator from Harter Equipment, GWS carefully dug out the area around the tank, safely removing it, while keeping the wires intact. Once the tank was removed, they ran the wires to the building through new conduit with minimal disruption to the buildings critical power supply.

Once removed, the company remediated the soil surrounding the tank, then backfilled the area with clean soil, taking advantage of the SK35’s bucket and blade combination.

According to Vinny Leone, Site Supervisor on the project for GWS, “This wasn’t a big job, but it was a tricky one. The electrical wires called for a very precise machine. We found that in the Kobelco SK35 which operated very smoothly.

Its short rear swing and small footprint were ideal for operating next to the building. Its precision controls gave the operator the ability to scrape around the tank and building foundation slowly, yet steadily to ensure there were no other surprise wires or other underground obstacles that would need to be dealt with.”

Leone and GWS have long been loyal Harter Equipment customers, “We get all our compact equipment rentals through Harter Equipment. They provide some of the best equipment in the area and are easy to work with. We really appreciated the Kobelco SK35 on this job. It’s a really nice machine and our operator was comfortable throughout the entire

Canadian JLG Dealer Raises Breast Cancer Awareness With Pink Boom Lift Location Blais, a JLG dealer in Quebec, Canada, used its 40th anniversary as the impetus to paint a JLG 450AJ articulating boom lift pink. But the unusual move was not taken to draw attention to the business milestone. Rather, the pink lift is intended to raise breast cancer awareness.

“It’s something we’ve thought about for a couple years,” said Serge Blais, Jr., Owner of the company founded in 1974 by his grandfather, Robert Blais.

“Our 40th anniversary gave us the push to do it – a way to draw attention to a need

in our community and say thank you for helping us build a successful business here.”

Location Blais is located in the small mining town of Rouyn-Noranda, approximately 700 kilometers (435 miles) north of Montreal and Toronto. The local hospital does not have a radiology department. So, for those in the area who suffer from cancer, this often means driving to Montreal for treatment.

“And we’re not talking about a day trip,” explained Blais. “Often, patients need to stay as long as six weeks while they undergo treatment.”

This means being away from family, friends, coworkers and the community, all of which are so often critical to a patient’s recovery. Serge should know.

His mother recently under-

went treatment for breast cancer and spent long periods of time away from her family. In addition, both of his grandmothers and an aunt suffered from the disease.

Blais wanted to do something to draw attention to the disease that has attacked his family and so many others he knows.

Painting a machine pink and putting it out in the field where many people would see it seemed like a good idea and one that is unique in the construction industry in his area.

Blais had the JLG 450AJ painted pink and then applied JLG and Location Blais stickers before attaching the largest breast cancer ribbon that would fit on the boom lift.

“So often people don’t know why the machine is painted pink, so I’m

project.” Harter Equipment is an authorized Kobelco dealer located in Millstone Township, NJ. Well known as The Excavator Authority for their singular line of equipment, Kobelco engineers understood the importance of building a machine that would deliver optimal performance with a small footprint when designing the SK35SR. Kobelco Construction Machinery USA manufactures a full range of crawler excavators in the 3,000 lb. to 184,000 lb. classes for the rental, landscape, construction, aggregate, roadbuilding, material handling, site preparation, recycling and ancillary hoping this causes them to stop and ask,” he said.

“They need to learn about the disease and understand its impact on families and the community.

We’re hoping this will encourage leaders in our community to push for the addition of a radiologist so that patients can remain closer to home while they undergo treatment.”

In addition to raising awareness, Location Blais is raising money, donating income derived from renting the pink aerial work platform to the Canadian Cancer Society in Abitibi-Témiscamingue. And Blais isn’t stopping there. By the end of next summer, the company hopes to have three more pieces of equipment painted pink and working in the field.

“It is important to my family,” said Blais. “But it’s just as important to the community that has supported us for 40 years. This is our way of giving back.” b

Equipment Manufacturers Among The World’s Most Sustainable Companies The Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) ranks 2,500 of the world’s largest companies on the basis of their strategies, implementation and results in areas such as business ethics, environmental consideration and social criteria with the focus on their ability to generate longterm value. Among the top 10 percent included in the index there were three construction equipment manufacturers recognized including The Volvo Group, Atlas Copco and CNH Industrial.

CNH Industrial was designated an Industry Leader for 2014. This is the company’s fourth consecutive year in the Indices’ top position, an honour which is given following the careful review of the participating companies’ activities in the field. The 2014 assessment resulted in a score of 87/100 for CNH Industrial, compared with an average of 50/100 for the par-

ticipating companies in the Machinery and Electrical Equipment industry.

In response to the news of CNH Industrial’s appointment as Industry Leader, Chief Executive Officer Richard Tobin expressed appreciation for the acknowledgement of the company’s work in Sustainability. “We are proud to see that our endeavors have once again resulted in us being named as Industry Leader. The worthwhile practices and activities we promote are essential for future strategic development, providing us with a solid and ethical basis by which to conduct our business worldwide.”

Atlas Copco was again listed as one of the top companies in its industry in the prestigious Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 2014/2015.

“It is gratifying that this well-respected index once again has chosen Atlas

Copco for inclusion,” said Mala Chakraborti, Atlas Copco’s vice president Corporate Responsibility. “It is the result of our continued hard work on sustainable productivity.”

Atlas Copco was among the top tier in the Machinery & Electrical Equipment industry, scoring particularly well in the categories of Environmental Policy/ Management Systems, Environmental Reporting, and Risk & Crisis Management.

The Volvo Group has also been acknowledged for its climate strategy, an important part of the Group’s vision of becoming world leader of sustainable transport solutions. Other highlighted areas are the clear direction and focus for guiding its corporate citizenship programs and the Volvo Group’s dedication to innovation for both products and processes.

“I’m both happy and proud that the Volvo Group

has qualified yet again for the DJSI. It is an index to us as it explains how we work with CSR and what we do to create value for all our stakeholders. Getting endorsement from such a credible organization is valuable when liaising with our stakeholders and especially so for our relations with the capital markets,” said Malin Ripa, Senior Vice President, CSR at the Volvo Group.

The Dow Jones Sustainability Index ranks the world’s foremost companies in terms of their sustainability efforts. The annual review is based on analysis of the various companies’ business ethics, environmental achievements and social performance which impact the companies’ long-term financial performance. The review has special focus on areas such as corporate

NB Power To Expand With A New Line And Substation To Houlton, Maine Houlton Water Co., in northern Maine, is turning to NB Power for a lowpriced, reliable, and secure transmission path for energy through a new international interconnect joining Woodstock and Houlton, Maine.

The company, a consumer-owned electric, water, and wastewater utility based in Houlton, has signed an agreement with NB Power to build a 25 km, 138 kV transmission line and substation. Construction will begin once regulatory approvals have been received. The project will be funded by Houlton Water Co. and final costs will be determined when environmental, engineering and design work is complete.

“This agreement is just the latest example of regional partners seeing the value in New Brunswick’s low-cost energy and extremely stable grid,” said Keith Cronkhite, VicePresident of Generation and Business Development for NB Power. “We are proud to add this connection with our new partners at Houlton Water Co. to our other four Maine/ New England connections. While the company

is not required to purchase electricity from NB Power through this new line, we are happy to provide their customers with the option to take advantage of our low and stable generation costs through this direct connection.”

“We are pleased that Houlton Water Co. is able to collaborate with NB Power on the new transmission tie line project between our two utilities,” said John Clark, the company’s general manager.

“Over the next several years, the completion of this project should result in considerable savings and value to our customers.”

“Of course, Houlton Water Co. has ensured a continued high level of reliability for its system under this arrangement,” said Clark. “The new agreement was made possible by U.S. federal legislation permitting utilities such as ours to make advantageous grid and supply relationships to benefit our customers.”

NB Power will construct the new line and substation from the Woodstock terminal to the United States/Canada border near the Houlton border crossing. The new infrastructure will become transmission assets of NB Power and

Houlton Water Co. will seek the necessary regulatory approvals from the Maine Public Utilities Commission, Maine Department of Environmental Protection, and the U.S. Department of Energy. NB Power will seek approval for the project from the provincial government and the Canadian National Energy Board. NB Power and the board of Houlton Water Co. have already approved the agreement.

The company is a municipally-owned electric, water and sewer utility.

It was founded in 1880 and has been serving the residents of the Town of Houlton and surrounding communities since its inception.

Founded in 1920, NB Power is a provincial Crown corporation that provides electricity to residential and business customers across the province. The corporation, which has 2,300 employees, also exports electricity to New England, Quebec, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island with these sales contributing to rate stability in New Brunswick. Today, the New Brunswick grid is comprised of electricity generated by 68 per cent non-greenhousegas-emitting sources with a goal to get to 75 per cent by 2020. b inter-modal transport.

This partnership is aligned with VIA Rail’s inter-modal strategy, initiated in 2010, for which it won the 2013 AirRail Concept of the Year at the Global AirRail Awards ceremony in Frankfurt. VIA Rail’s inter-modal strategy makes transport more efficient by increasing interconnectivity with other passenger carriers and multiplying travel options for customers. b
