It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Robert (Bob) Edgerton Mohr on Thursday June 11, 2015. After a brief but heroic battle with lung cancer, Bob went peacefully with his four children and his brother, Charlie, by his side. Bob handled his illness the same way he handled his life - with determination, humility and the attitude: “It is what it is, now let’s get it done”.

Bob was born on May 26, 1943 in Calgary, Alberta to Murray and Mickey Mohr. He was the youngest of three boys and he and his brothers, Charlie and John, were known in the neighbourhood for their mischievous antics. Bob developed a love of cars and bought his first one, a 1931 Chrysler Imperial, at the age of 14. He went on to build hot rods, stock cars, drag race cars and inboard boats with his buddies. He was an avid stock car racer and raced in Calgary, Nanton, Lethbridge and Rosebud where he had his fair share of wins and endless fun.

Bob turned his love for cars and mechanics into a profession and started an automotive apprenticeship at a Volkswagen garage.

He attended SAIT and became certified in 1965 as a Red Seal Motor Vehicle Mechanic. This led to his job at Pioneer Machinery

in Calgary where he was introduced to the world of aggregate equipment.

He advanced very quickly and went on to travel as a sales representative for Agg Mac. Customers marvelled at his uncanny knack for the industry and would tease him that the company should be called Mohr Mac instead of Agg Mac. He took that feedback to heart and in 1980; he officially opened the doors of Mormak Equipment Ltd. in Vernon, BC. Mormak developed an international reputation as an industry leader and grew to include a branch in Calgary, Alberta and Chilliwack, BC. Although Bob sold his company in 2013, he remained on as CEO and was still working up until one month ago. When people would ask when he was going to retire, Bob would reply with a glint in his eye, “I’ll retire when it stops being fun … right now, I’m still havin’ fun. “Bob was a man of many passions, which included ranching, snowmobiling, attending rodeos, embarking on motorcycle road trips and, most importantly, spending treasured time with family and friends. He was extremely proud of each of his children, Nicole (Lee), Brandice (Rob), Michael (Melanie), Kalvin (Oksana), and always made time for them despite his heavy

business responsibilities.

Bob also loved each of his grandchildren beyond measure. Liviah, Rowan, Clay and Parker were very fortunate to have had him as their grandpa even for this short amount of time.

His inquisitive, mischievous and loving spirit will forever live on in them.

An outdoor celebration of life was held on Monday, June 22, 2015 at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch.

Bob requested that this gathering be held after the tears have dried but there will always be a tear in our eye for the loss of this great man. We will seek comfort in one of Bob’s favourite quotes: “Whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.” In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made in Bob’s name to the BC Cancer Foundation or the 4-H British Columbia Foundation. Condolences may be offered to the family at armstrong@ myalternatives.ca b

Kobelco To Merge Construction Equipment And Crane Businesses Kobe Steel, Ltd. and its group companies, Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd. and Kobelco Cranes Co., Ltd., have agreed to begin considering a business merger of Kobelco Construction Machinery and Kobelco Cranes. Considerations will commence with the aim of integrating the two companies on April 1, 2016.

The Kobe Steel Group’s construction equipment business, consisting of hydraulic excavators and cranes, currently operates through two companies, with the launching of Kobelco Construction Machinery in October 1999, followed by an alliance with the former CNH Global N.V. in October 2002, and a spin-off of the crane business into a separate company in April 2004.

To capture growing demand throughout the world, both Kobelco Construction Machinery and Kobelco Cranes have been implementing their respec-

tive strategies and plans for global expansion, and both companies have continued to grow. With combined sales of nearly 400 billion yen from the two operations, the construction equipment business is an important segment, comprising about a 20 percent share of the Kobe Steel Group’s consolidated sales.

Under the mediumterm business plan launched in May 2013 covering fiscal years 2013 to 2015, the Kobe Steel Group said it would adopt a policy of strategically expanding its machineryrelated businesses. In the United States where demand continues to be strong, Kobelco Construction Machinery is undertaking active developments, making a decision at the end of 2014 to build an excavator plant in that country. Furthermore, establishing a presence in the global market — including India, the Middle East and other emerging

countries and regions where demand is anticipated to grow — is an urgent issue for Kobe Steel’s construction equipment business.

The Kobe Steel Group intends to enhance cooperation between the two companies to improve business efficiency, from development to procurement, and covering production, quality and sales.

The Group has previously been considering ways of further enhancing its global development capabilities in growth markets.

At this time, the Group has decided to earnestly begin considerations for a merger of the two construction equipment companies.

Through the business merger, the combined excavator and crane businesses will benefit from more efficient operations that will further strengthen their business foundation. At the same time, the merger is anticipated to accelerate global development of the excavator and crane businesses, further contribute to spreading the KOBELCO brand, and increase the enterprise value of the Kobe Steel Group. b

House Passes Bill To Repeal Mandatory COOL For Beef, Pork, And Chicken US House passed H.R. 2393, the Country of Origin Labelling Amendments Act, by a vote of 300-131. Introduced by House Agriculture Committee Chairman K. Michael Conaway (R-TX), H.R. 2393 amends the Agriculture Marketing Act of 1946 to effectively repeal mandatory country of origin labelling requirements for beef, pork, and chicken.

“I am thankful for the support of my colleagues in passing this commonsense, bipartisan bill that is a necessary targeted response to avoid retaliation from Canada and Mexico. Two of our top trading partners announced earlier this month their intention to seek more than $3 billion in retaliatory sanctions against U.S. exports.

This would extend far beyond the agriculture industry and would hurt nearly every sector of the U.S. economy. H.R. 2393

will put the U.S. back in compliance with its international trade obligations and stop trade retaliations by two of the nation’s top export partners,” said Rep. Jim Costa (D-CA), Ranking Member of the House Agriculture Committee’s Livestock and Foreign Agriculture Committee.

“Today, the House of Representatives continued the work started in the House Committee on Agriculture to repeal the non-trade compliant COOL law. We look forward to working with our Senate colleagues to send this legislation to the President in an effort to protect our American businesses. After multiple failed attempts at the World Trade Organization to bring the COOL law into compliance with our trading partners, Canada and Mexico, the House has done its part expeditiously to guarantee that no American industries are hurt through retaliation,” said Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC), Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee’s Livestock and Foreign Agriculture Committee. b

will prevent retaliation and bring the U.S. back into compliance, and I urge my colleagues in the Senate to act quickly on this urgent matter,” said Chairman Conaway.

“Today’s passage of the COOL Amendments Act is a critical step towards ensuring that the United States is no longer burdened by a law that harms our economy and our nation’s beef, pork, and poultry producers. California exports billions of dollars of commodities and manufactured goods to Canada and Mexico, many of which are produced in the San Joaquin Valley. The tariff retaliations will cost California more than $1 billion, inflicting a devastating blow to the state’s economic wellbeing. Country of Origin Labelling is a very real problem that requires a legislative fix. The COOL Amendments Act

LoJack Expands Footprint In Telematics Space LoJack Corporation, a vehicle theft recovery business, recently announced that it has surpassed 10,000 subscriptions under agreement to provide subscribers with a range of services for Construction Equipment, “Main Street” Fleet Vehicles and Inventory Management for Dealerships. With a majority of these subscriptions in the field, and the balance rolling out in the coming months, the benefits of the services are becoming recognized among customers as valuable contributions to their businesses.

“This major milestone serves to validate our strategy to expand the LoJack brand beyond our foundation of Stolen Vehicle Recovery,” said Randy Ortiz, president and CEO of LoJack. “We have leveraged our well-known brand and distribution channels in the U.S. to establish telematics offerings that provide subscription-based services to our customers that are relevant on a daily basis.”

LoJack’s telematics offerings meet the unique requirements of the complicated fleet, construction and dealership industry. The company’s key telematics products and solutions include: LoJack Connect for Equipment – ruggedized solution for fleets of construction equipment: LoJack Connect for Equip-

ment allows business owners to precisely track equipment utilization, use real-time and historical data to improve operational efficiencies and asset management, remotely optimize fleet operations and streamline processes.

LoJack Fleet Management Powered by TomTom – for “Main Street” fleets: LoJack delivers advanced solutions that help businesses grow and streamline their operations.

The recently announced integration with Intuit’s QuickBase with the power of the LoJack Fleet Management platform gives LoJack Fleet Management customers the data, tools and insights to improve efficiencies from lead generation to project completion throughout their on-road fleet of vehicles.

LoJack IM1 Inventory Management System – for dealers: The technology enables dealership personnel through tablets, smartphones and other mobile

devices, to verify vehicle location, quickly access relevant vehicle information, track test drives and receive early-warning alerts if a vehicle is moved from a geofenced location. Currently in pilot phase, LoJack IM1 customers can see streamlined processes that can result in a more efficient dealership and better overall customer service.

In bringing fleet & inventory management to the market, LoJack has collaborated with global solution providers to deliver world-class capabilities to its customers in the U.S. market. Those underlying technologies service over 500,000 subscriptions world-wide.

“Over the next year, LoJack will continue to build on our successful Pre-install strategy with our Stolen Vehicle Recovery business and accelerate our move into telematics, by leveraging the strength of our brand and U.S. distribution,” continued Ortiz. “For the first time in LoJack’s history, we are establishing a new level of relevance for our customers by providing products and services that can be used every day to manage critical business operations.” b

Volvo EW160E And EW180E Wheeled Excavators Keep Productivity On A Roll The new Volvo EW160E and EW180E wheeled excavators are versatile machines for utility or road construction with increased reach, better visibility and improved grading performance.

The latest wheeled excavators from Volvo Construction Equipment, the EW160E and EW180E, are multi-tasking machines designed to cater to all the operator’s needs on the jobsite. Both models can be tailored to suit customers’ precise specifications, with a whole range of flexible configurations that allow operators to change attachments quickly and easily, and add on useful features.

Powerful efficiency Powered by robust Volvo D6 Tier 4 Final engines, both machines are designed to operate at lower engine rpm with an automatic idling system, which reduces fuel consumption and results in quieter operation, all while maintaining impressive power. Volvo unique ECO mode reduces flow and pressure losses in the hydraulic system, further resulting in improved fuel efficiency without any loss of performance.

Flexibility to accomplish any job Customers can choose from 12 different configurations of tires (including single and twin) from eight different suppliers, to best match anticipated ground conditions. Customers can also select different arm lengths in line with jobsite requirements.

Optional hydraulic functions ‘X1 breaker/shear’

and ‘X3 tilt rotate’ provide power for attachments that require one- or two-way flow, as well as a two-way flow for tilting or rotating attachments, respectively.

The corresponding buckets, breakers and grapples (together with a quick coupler) have all been purpose-built to work in perfect harmony with Volvo machines, forming one solid reliable unit.

Not only can operators change attachments quickly and easily to perform all tasks on the jobsite, they can also bring them along wherever they go in a special tool box drawer that slides out from the undercarriage, saving time in transport and ensuring the excavator is always ready to work. This newly developed feature can carry up to 264 pounds (120 kg).

Box dividers, which can be adjusted into five different positions, help the operator stay organized, while a mechanical stopper prevents the drawer from sliding out during transport or operation. There is further storage inside the cab, as well as ample leg room.

Both models are approved for road use and can be fitted with a trailer hitch that can pull up to 17,637 pounds (8 tons) with dry run brakes and 6,613 pounds (3 tons) without brakes.

“Our powerful new wheeled excavators come with increased versatility and customer-focused features, like an ergonomically designed cab with easy control access, and options like the Volvo Smart View

camera system, which provides 360-degree visibility from the cab,” said Rob Palermo, product manager, General Purpose Equipment Products. “Operators can work comfortably and efficiently until the job gets done.”

Comfort and control With a redesigned Human Machine Interface (HMI) system, all the machine controls have been ergonomically positioned for optimum control and efficiency, and the number of switches has been significantly reduced to simplify operator tasks with convenient, intuitive shortcuts and a larger 8-inch display.

Excellent all-round visibility is provided by the large windshield — both models have an improved view to the right — as well as the new optional Volvo Smart View feature. With Volvo Smart View, three cameras attached to different corners of the machine — the front, side and rear — combine to show real-time footage of the machine operating from above. The three cameras also film individual views of the front, side and rear of the machine. This intelligent and industry-leading technology helps the operator to see all angles and ensure safe rotation.

In addition to a comfortable and convenient work environment, productivity is also increased by the excellent control afforded by the EW160E and EW180E excavators.

The boom suspension system, for example, with its hydraulic circuit and gas pressure dampers, enables the operator to travel faster over bumpy roads or rough terrain, while the overall hydraulic system has also

Atlas Copco Previews New Equipment Atlas Copco unveiled several pieces of equipment during its March dealer event in Phoenix.

The event introduced many models of Atlas Copco construction equipment, including the CT3000 tamping soil compactor, the CP1200 and CP2700 pneumatic tired asphalt rollers and the intelligent compaction system. Atlas Copco held the event to give dealers a first-hand look at the new products, technologies and sales tools.

“Having people see our new equipment and technology in action shows that we’re committed to reinforcing our customer support,” said Brian Bieller, Atlas Copco vice president and road construction equipment business line manager. “The best way to accomplish that is to roll them all out at once and demonstrate their capabilities.”

Dealers had the opportunity to climb aboard

the equipment and take some of the latest models for a test spin. They also learned about some of the new technology Atlas Copco is launching, including its intelligent compaction system, which will be available on Atlas Copco CC2000 through CC6200 asphalt rollers and CA2500 through CA6500 soil rollers.

Atlas Copco previewed its new, easy-to-use intelligent compaction system during the event. The IC system gives contractors and equipment operators’ real-time material stiffness readings to ensure superior soil and asphalt compaction. For instance, the IC system allows operators to view their progress and ensure accurate pass counts.

From a quality assurance standpoint, its saves contractors significant time and money because they can pull real-time data to prove that the work site received consistent

Page 7 compaction. The system features a touch screen that is easy to navigate and read, making it userfriendly and convenient.

And it will be equipped with Atlas Copco’s Dyn link fleet management system, which contributes to equipment wellness and theft deterrence.

The event also allowed dealers to experience optimal operator comfort and visibility with the equipment – a hallmark of Atlas Copco’s Road Construction division.

For instance, The CT3000 features padfoot drums mounted on rubber tires to effectively absorb impact during operation, which minimizes vibrations to the cab to create a more comfortable ride.

New Options Highlight John Deere Ejector Scrapers John Deere is updating its ejector scraper line with two and four wheel tire options to better serve earthmoving contractors. The 1612DE, 2010DE, 2014DE, 2412DE are designed for customers who require larger capacities, lower operating costs, faster cycle times, and appreciate an extended warranty.

The ability to move more material and increase productivity helps contractors lower the cost per cubic yard of material moved.

As such, added capacity is the number one customer requested product enhancement.

“The two tire and larger capacity scraper segments are growing fast and earthmovers expect a scraper system with more capacity for increased productivity, less complex hitching and attachment options, and stronger warranty coverage,” said David Wilson, product marketing manager, scraper systems,

John Deere Construction & Forestry. “These new ejector capacities also convert more evenly into tons, making them compare well to articulated dump trucks while more closely aligning to selfpropelled scraper capacity ratings.”

Contractors looking for increased productivity on the jobsite will welcome greater floatation and reduced drag in wet, heavy clay conditions. Two tire options on the 2010DE and 2412DE models permit higher productivity and less wear in harsh conditions. The two wheels also allow quicker cycle times with less rolling resistance and drag, which can reduce costs per cubic yard.

The scraper systems also boast less complicated hitching and attachment options. This includes an integrated push block, Quik Attach Hitch, and spill guard that feature fewer parts and are easier to configure and match –

John Deere Adds Mobile Data Transfer And Myjobs App John Deere is adding more tools to its Operations Centre within MyJohnDeere and making it easy to wirelessly transfer data from older John Deere equipment and non-John Deere displays to the Operations Centre with Mobile Data Transfer.

Mobile Data Transfer enables customers to wirelessly transfer agronomic data to and from non-John Deere displays and from John Deere’s GreenStar 3

2630 display (in older John Deere equipment that is not JDLink compatible) to the Operations Centre. It enables producers to consolidate data from multiple branded displays into one centralized location for their use or to be shared with trusted advisors.

“Mobile Data Transfer is the simple solution for customers who run older or mixed-fleet equipment and want immediate access of information stored in their displays. It eliminates the manual transfer of data,” explains Jeff Nolting, John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group (ISG). “It’s a USB to Wi-Fi device that plugs into the display and transfers data using your smartphone via the Mobile Data Transfer app. Your phone sends the data to the Operations Centre to give farm managers and trusted advisors immediate access.”

There are multiple ways to get data into the Opera-

all saving time when using the equipment. A single, 60 mm hitch pin on all scrapers will dramatically reduce user complexity.

“John Deere ejector scrapers help contractors move dirt for one third the initial investment, half the labor, and offer up to 50 cents per cubic yards savings over self-propelled earthmoving equipment,” said Wilson.

The new John Deere D-Series scrapers will also feature a best-in-class 12 month warranty.

Operators looking to get the most out of their tractors with 1612DE, 2010DE, 2014DE, and 2412DE pans can rely on Ultimate Uptime featuring John Deere WorkSight. With Ultimate Uptime, operators receive pre-delivery and followup inspections, and the ability to add additional dealer-provided uptime solutions to customize the package to individual needs.

Mobile Data Transfer works with a variety of in-cab displays and mobile devices to facilitate the transfer of information.

If you are running older John Deere equipment and have not yet moved to a JDLink Connect enabled machine, Mobile Data Transfer is a great way to get started.

Operations Centre: MyJobs App The Operations Centre is where you’ll access the tools to start your planning with the MyJobs app.

These tools allow a manager to define a job that needs to be done, and it includes all of the specifics of that job. “Add Jobs” automatically syncs up with the “My Jobs” app on mobile devices of operators and other employees. They receive a detailed jobs order in real time versus spending hours on the telephone or managing “to do” lists that can be lost or misplaced.

The Operations Centre and the MyJobs app keep everything in order by keeping track of the yearto-year changes that can bring about higher efficiency and yields. b

LNG Plant Takes A Step Forward Shell-led LNG Canada project gets environmental go-ahead from Ottawa and B.C. By Lauren Krugel, The Canadian Press

A

multibillion-dollar liquefied natural gas project led by Royal Dutch Shell was given the environmental go-ahead on Wednesday, subject to dozens of conditions.

The LNG Canada project — planned for Kitimat B.C. — obtained the blessing of both the federal and British Columbia governments following a streamlined review process.

The federal government has decided the environmental impacts of the LNG Canada project are justified in the circumstances, Environment Minister Leona Aglukkaq said in a release.

Ottawa’s approval comes with 50 legally binding conditions dealing with

fish habitat, migratory birds, human health and a host of other matters.

“The LNG Canada Export Terminal Project underwent a thorough science-based environmental assessment conducted by the Government of British Columbia, which included extensive and meaningful consultations with the public and aboriginal groups,” Aglukkaq said.

Meanwhile, provincial Environment Minister Mary Polak and Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman issued an Environmental Assessment Certificate for the project.

The provincial approval comes with 24 conditions dealing with greenhouse

gases, wildlife impacts and aboriginal consultation, among other things.

LNG Canada is the first project to be granted a certificate under a single review process that meets both federal and B.C. requirements. The “substituted” environmental assessment is meant to eliminate duplication between federal and provincial processes.

The LNG Canada partners — Shell and companies from Japan, China and Korea — still have a lot of work ahead. They must determine whether moving forward with the project makes business sense and they aim to make a final investment decision next year.

“We have made significant progress to advance our project over the past year,” LNG Canada CEO Andy Calitz said in a release.

“Receiving both provincial and federal approval of our environmental assessment is a critical milestone on our path to making a final investment decision. We could not have achieved this without input from the local community of Kitimat and

First Nations, and we appreciate the local knowledge they shared with us.”

LNG Canada expects 7,500 workers will be employed during peak construction and an estimated $8 billion will be spent on goods and services within Canada, including $3 billion in B.C. There are 19 projects currently proposed for the West Coast, but observers only expect a handful to be

built.

Last week, another B.C. LNG player passed a major milestone.

Pacific NorthWest LNG, led by Malaysia’s Petronas, formally decided to move ahead with its project near Prince Rupert, B.C.. But its final investment decision hinges on obtaining federal environmental approval and a development agreement with the B.C. government passing in the provincial legislature.b

GHHL Installs First 200 Meter Flare With The Terex CC 8800-1 Crane A country rich with oil, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has unique equipment needs when it comes to the oil industry. Lifting and heavy hauling companies like Gulf Haulage Heavy Lift (GHHL), Dammam, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (K.S.A.), must be ready to quickly respond to projects demanding the specialized equipment necessary to build and repair oil refineries, critical to K.S.A.’s economy.

Changing environmental regulation updates further complicate business practices by changing the design parameters of refining equipment, so lifting companies must have flexible equipment in their fleets in order to adapt to these evolving needs. For example, the Saudi Arabian Government’s environmental improvement program recently increased the height standards for flare stacks used to burn off flammable gas generated by the oil refining process.

Saudi Aramaco was the first oil company to install a flare stack at its Yanbu, K.S.A. facility under these new environmental guidelines. The structure installed was constructed to a height of 200 m (656 ft).

With stack structure segments weighing from 21 to 104 tonnes (23 to 115 US tons), GHHL was hired to provide the heavy lifting.

The combination of structure weight and height and difficult site conditions meant that only one crane in GHHL’s fleets was the right choice to efficiently complete the job on time and within budget, the Terex CC 8800-1.

The sheer size and weight of structure segments made the construction project difficult enough. However, the Yanbu refinery’s location, nearby the Red Sea, severely limited the time crews had to complete each lift.

“Every day at approximately 11:00 hours winds would increase from a light breeze of 2 m/s (4.5 mph) to sustained gusts reaching 16 m/s (35.8 mph), and this would sometimes continue all afternoon and evening,” explained Sanjay Pachisia, general manager of GHHL. This was well outside the project’s

permissible lift wind speed levels, which ranged from 4.1 m/s (9.2 mph) to 7.1 m/s (15.9 mph), depending on which flare section was being positioned.

The project also required a low ground bearing pressure of 12 t/m2 (1.3 t/ft2) for constructing the crane’s boom configurations and lifting the flare stack. “The CC 88001 crawler crane has 2-m (6.6-ft) wide tracks and offers a wide 10.5-m (34.4ft) stance to help disburse the weight over a wide area for heavy lift projects,” says Christian Kassner, Senior Sales Manager for Terex Cranes. A wide crawler stance plus the use of heavy-duty, 5-m-long x 2.8-m-wide x 0.36-m-thick (16.4 ft x 9.2 ft x 1.2 ft) thick steel matting helped GHHL’s operators meet the project’s ground pressure requirements for the crane.

Additionally, precise rigging and flare section placement was a must on this project. “The center of gravity for each section was not in the center of the flare structures due to the risers, nor was the section installed in the center of the structure,” says Pachisia.

With the site challenges and flare section size and weight known, GHHL prepared and mobilized the CC 8800-1 crane components for the nearly 1,400 km (870mi) trip from its Dammam headquarters to the Yanbu project site. “To move the crane, we used 7 heavy duty trailers, 12 low-bed trailers and 40 flat-bed trailers with 12-m (39.4-ft) deck lengths,” says Pachisia.

Designed and built as a series, the 1,600-t (1,764US t) capacity Terex CC 8800-1 crane has a standardized production process, so that transportation, rigging and maintenance ease are built into each crane. “Every component is less than 3.5-m (11.5ft) wide, and most components have a shipping weight of less than 40 t (44 US t),” adds Kassner. “By making the crane as a production model, Terex offers significant advantages over competitive, one-off custom-design cranes that are made to meet a specific market’s need.”

Once on site, GHHL’s

five-person rigging crew began crane assembly. For the first lift, which placed the third-level flare segment 100.3-m (329.1-ft) above ground level, the CC 8800-1 was equipped with 108 m (354.3 ft) of main boom and its superlift system to hoist the 104 t (114.6 US t) section into place.

For the second and third lifts, which placed the level four segment and level five structure into position, crews simply reconfigured the crane by adding its luff-

ing jib on the main boom.

“We chose the crane configurations carefully, in a way that the change consisted of only adding luffing jib boom sections and not change the main boom length,” says Pachisia. “This way, we reduced crane reconfiguration time substantially.” Hydraulic pin connections between boom segments greatly simplified adding boom segments.

The final three lifts for flare structure levels six through eight required one

final configuration change.

In addition to the main boom, crews used the luffing jib – configured to the maximum boom length of 216 m (708 ft) – and available Runner Winch, so they would have the necessary height and control to place these segments.

In all, the Yanbu Aramco Sinopec Refinery Project required just 11 working days to complete the six complex lifts to finish placing the flare stack segments. Once completed, crews disassembled the

Page 11 CC 8800-1 crane and mobilized it back to GHHL’s Dammam facility, a process that took approximately 10 days.

“We have received firstclass service from Terex and the CC 8800-1 crane on this and other projects,” says Pachisia. “We appreciate every effort taken by the Terex after sales department to provide us with technical assistance, day or night, so we can be successful with difficult projects like the flare stack project in Yanbu.” b

New Environmental Center Pursues Rigorous Living Building Certification Williams College celebrated its recently completed Class of 1966 Environmental Center, a restoration and expansion of a historic building that seeks to meet the Living Building Challenge, the most rigorous and advanced measure of sustainability in the built environment. The celebration included a public lecture by William Moomaw ’59 on Friday, April 17, and a dedication of the Environmental Center on Saturday, April 18.

The Living Building Challenge (LBC) program certifies buildings that have positive, regenerative environmental and community effects. Twenty imperatives set ambitious goals for energy (100 percent generated on site), water (100 percent captured, used, treated, and returned to the ground on site), materials (avoiding commonly known toxins, such as formaldehyde and PVC, while supporting local and regional manufacturers), and on-site food production (more than a third of the site was used for organic food production).

For a building to meet the Living Building Chal-

lenge, it must demonstrate net-zero energy and water consumption for one year of full occupancy. Seven buildings worldwide have so far met the challenge, and the Environmental Centre is among the first 25 to be registered in the program. It is likely to become the first historic renovation in the U.S. to meet the Living Building Challenge.

“Our ambitions for this building speak to our commitment to the environment more broadly, and that’s not just about limiting harm; it’s about working to improve our planet,” says Williams president Adam Falk. “The Class of 1966 Environmental Center connects what students are learning in the classroom to their deep passions and activism around environmental issues, and it serves as a remarkable working model for what’s possible.”

Charley Stevenson ’93, principal at Integrated Eco Strategy, worked closely with the college and Black River Design Architects on the design and operation of the Environmental Center. He says a large part of the Living Building Challenge is about ad-

vocating for change in the market. “For years, we’ve had the technology and know-how to design and construct buildings that take care of all their own needs, while minimizing external impacts,” says Stevenson. “Achieving this high performance requires changes in the materials marketplace and new regulatory frameworks.

LBC projects advocate for these advancements, and they serve to bring these approaches into the mainstream of construction.”

Williams’ new Environmental Center occupies the building formerly known as Kellogg House, which was built in 1794 as a home for the college’s first president, Ebenezer Fitch. It has been renovated and moved three times and was used as faculty housing for many years. In 1978, it became the home of the Center for Environmental Studies program, and now—with the renovation and addition to the building—it houses both the academic program and the Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives, the administrative operation that focuses on sustainability across the

college. In addition to faculty and staff offices, the building has a classroom, kitchen, reading room, and an outdoor amphitheater, and it is open to students 24 hours a day. The project was supported significantly by gifts from alumni and grants, and the Class of 1966 provided the naming gift in honor of its upcoming 50th reunion.

Planning for the renovations to Kellogg House began in 2010. The resulting building maximizes useful space, minimizes energy and water demand, and will use on-site solar energy and rooftop water collection to produce 100 percent of the energy and water required for its operation. The offices are compact, and the larger rooms play triple duty, serving as classrooms and meeting rooms during the academic day, student study spaces and workrooms in the

evenings, and social and informal gathering spaces for faculty, students, staff, and alumni throughout the year. Faculty and staff moved into the building in February.

“The community will need to work together in the building to see that it performs as intended, and there is tremendous educational value in that level of engagement,” says Stevenson, who has been named a 2015 Living Building Challenge Hero by the International Living Future Institute, in recognition of his commitment to LBC and his work to “continually raise the bar on behalf of the green building industry.”

Moomaw, who was awarded a Bicentennial Medal by Williams in 2013, is chief scientist at the Earthwatch Institute and professor emeritus of international environmental policy at Tufts University,

Honeywell Announces Miller Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems Honeywell (NYSE:HON) announced new Miller Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems to provide workers with exceptional mobility and fall protection while working at heights on or above vehicles or elevated machinery.

Featuring an open track design, Miller Rigid Rail Systems are engineered to enable easy movement while reducing the risk of injury in elevated work environments on such applications as truck tarping, machinery maintenance, rail loading and unloading, and vehicle maintenance.

Three types of Miller Rigid Rail Fall Arrest Systems are available in various configurations and support centre distances — making fall protection

easily customizable and cost-effective: • The Inverted “L” System (single rigid rail) provides fall protection coverage for working at heights on vehicles or elevated machinery. The single foundation design is ideal where space for a foundation is limited.

• The “T” Dual Track System (dual rigid rail) delivers dual fall protection coverage for working side-by-side on top of vehicles or elevated machinery. The single foundation design and parallel tracks make this system ideal for railroad tracks running parallel in close proximity — or two truck loading stations.

• The “P” Series System (portable single rigid rail) is an economical

John Deere E-Series Articulated Dump Trucks Feature A Load Of New Updates Bolstered with big updates, the new 370E, 410E and 460E articulated dump truck (ADTs) are designed to keep materials moving and profits flowing. The three models are highlighted by an EPA Final Tier 4 (FT4)/EU Stage IV John Deere PowerTech diesel engine and a pressurized Deere-designed cab – both of which combine to boost productivity and uptime, while minimizing daily operating costs.

“The new E-Series articulated dump trucks are the result of our most important asset, our customers,” said Mark Shea, ADT product consultant, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “We worked with our customers to find out what they need in an articulated dump truck to make their jobs more safe, efficient, and productive.

The E-Series is equipped with several features to accommodate these requests.

Efficiency and productivity are boosted by standard best-in-class diff lock and powerful transmission retarder; while safety is paramount through ground-level daily service, auto horn, rollover protection and remote park-brake release.”

Designed and built in Dubuque and Davenport, Iowa, the E-Series ADTs feature 422 hp (370E), 443 hp (410E) and 481 hp (460E), delivering impressive power and torque with exceptional power-to-weight ratios and fast cycles. A purpose-built ZF transmission includes eight forward gears and four reverse gears, and a high-capacity retarder to increase service brake life.

In addition, the John Deere hauler axles are designed for heavy-duty applications and include on-the-fly differential locks and outboard planetaries, and each axle is independently pressure lubed and filtered. The ESeries axles use internal wet disc brakes that utilize independent cooling circuits.

Perhaps the biggest change to these new models is the updated cab. The ultra-quiet, redesigned cab is sealed and pressurized to keep out dust and noise, affording enhanced operator concentration and efficiency. Creature comforts

include push-button start, low-effort push-button controls, air-suspension heated high-back seat, tilt/ telescoping steering wheel and optional premium radio with Bluetooth, auxiliary input and satellite radio capability. Stairway lights can be turned on with the push of a button from ground level for easier visibility when entering the larger cab entryway.

The E-Series models are equipped with an updated 7-inch high-resolution LCD monitor for easy access to onboard diagnostics, digital gauges and vital system indicators — all conveniently located within arm’s reach and view during rough haul conditions. Two ergonomically positioned sealed switch modules simplify operation and convenience controls. The auto shutdown feature turns off the engine after an ownerdetermined period of inactivity to reduce emissions, idle time and subsequent wear on the power train.

An integrated tire-pressure/temperature monitoring system comes standard to help maximize tire life and fuel efficiency. If pressure drops by 10 percent, a passive alarm appears on the monitor. In addition, further pressure decreases or overheating result in an audible warning and an email alert that is sent via JDLink.

An optional, onboard weighing system is factory calibrated, which allows contractors to view the weight and the number of loads carried via JDLink.

The system displays the payload on the monitor during loading while transmitting real-time load and tonnage data via JDLink, so productivity can be monitored from virtually anywhere. The onboard weighing option also comes equipped with mirror-mounted LED load indicator lights that illuminate for the loading operator as the truck approaches capacity (green flashing), is at capacity (green) or is 10 percent or more over capacity/overload (red flashing).

A favoured customerdriven feature of the ESeries and a hallmark for John Deere is centralized, true ground-level servicing

to simplify daily maintenance and overall serviceability. All daily service can be completed from the ground. Hydraulically controlled fans with swing-out cooling packages on both sides of the engine highlight the cool-on-demand system. For dusty environments, there is a reversible fan option available for

simplified cooler cleanout.

Operators looking to get the most out of their ESeries can rely on Ultimate Uptime featuring John Deere WorkSight. With Ultimate Uptime, operators receive predelivery and follow-up inspections; three years of JDLink telematics, machine heath prognostics and remote diagnostics and programming capability; and the ability to add additional dealer-provided uptime solutions to customize the package to individual needs. b
