New Name And Strategies: Rototilt Aims For The International Market Indexator Rototilt Systems changed its name to Rototilt, short and sweet.

Behind this apparently undramatic change lies a larger, long-term decision about continued product development and a determined marketing initiative in North America and Europe.

“We see enormous growth potential in places like North America and central Europe where tilt rotators are still not used to the same extent as in Scandinavia, but where developments are beginning to pick up speed,” CEO Anders Jonsson tells us.

The challenge in the “new markets” lies in explaining the concept of Rototilt® and how it turns an excavator in to a very efficient tool carrier. The key to success for Rototilt lies in a well-established foundation in the Nordic countries (90% of all excavators up to 30 tonnes are equipped with a tilt rotator) together with established sales

channels and an increased interest from end users and equipment suppliers on the new markets.

Rototilt’s investment in modular production – which allows the customer to determine how the tilt rotator should be configured – will also be a significant success factor here: The international market is not homogeneous.

Needs differ greatly from country to country and from contractor to contractor; thus in the future, all the major manufacturers will need to offer customized tilt rotator solutions, but Rototilt® already provides this freedom of choice today.

The investment is also good news for the town of Vindeln in northern Sweden. In order to manage the company’s continued expansion and growing market share, it is now making a number of strategic personnel recruitments.

The head office and all product development will

March 2015 continue to be located in Vindeln, Västerbotten, in northern Sweden.

“Rototilt® is the world’s leading tilt rotator today as a result of our personnel’s hard work and singleminded efforts. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved together and convinced that we have the right team line-up here in Sweden and our new International markets as we take the next step in our development”.

The name change is also a natural development of the ownership changes in Indexator companies effective as of October 1st, 2014.

CEO Anders Jonsson has now focused his ownership and commitment on Rototilt while sister company Indexator Rotator Systems is now owned by Hans and Pia Jonsson together with Åke Karlsson. b

Atlas Copco Launches Reloaded Face Drilling Rig The medium sized, one or two-boom Boomer Mseries drill rigs from Atlas Copco have been favourite workhorses for many years in underground mining and tunnelling. Now they have become more useful and efficient than ever.

During a major upgrade, the Boomer M-series rigs have been “reloaded” with a range of enhancements that make them stronger, cleaner, safer and easier to operate.

Johan Jonsson, Product Manager, explains: “The use of contractors in the mining industry is becoming increasingly common and these companies have told us they need extremely robust drill rigs for drilling in tougher environments, and preferably rigs that can be used for more than one application. In response, we have further developed the new Boomer M-series.

These rigs are now much stronger and more powerful and can be used for face drilling as well as rock bolting.”

Jonsson points out that the rigs have been “reloaded” with a range of design improvements. These include stronger booms, a new filtration system, increased safety features and Atlas Copco’s award winning rig control system.

In field trials in Australia these enhancements have returned top ratings for productivity, longer service intervals and lower operating costs.

The new, stronger BUT 36S booms provide steadier articulation and faster, more accurate positioning.

They also incorporate several new design features that help to extend the service intervals. The new filtration system keeps lubrication air and hydraulic

oil free from water and fine particles. This improves the quality of the air and the oil, which, in turn, prolongs the life of the hydraulic components and the rock drills.

These rigs also offer increased safety for the operator. For example, the BUT 36S boom’s Safe Bolting configuration makes it possible to swing the feed all the way back to the cabin so that the operator can load it with bolts while standing on platforms on either side of the rig. This eliminates the need to work in front of the machine under unsupported roofs, substantially reducing the risk of injury from rockfall. For added safety, the spacious and comfortable cabin is now ROPS/FOPS certified.

The reloaded M-series rigs are equipped with COP 1838HD+ rock drills and come with a robust hydraulic control system or, as an option, with the award-winning, new generation Atlas Copco Rig Control System, RCS 5. b

The ‘Dinosaur’ Returns, Again And Again Professor Josef Kurfess from Ulm University in Germany outlines why hydraulic systems still have an important part to play in the industrial world of today and tomorrow.

Over the past 40 years, hydraulic systems have been continually deemed a dying technology – if not pronounced dead altogether. And these views don’t seem all that farfetched in light of the on-going energy efficiency debate and the apparent cure-all: electric drive systems. Perhaps the “dinosaurs of drive technology” are truly at an end. Yet they keep coming back and are more sustain-

able than ever – all thanks to consistent, systematic thinking.

Hydraulics form the core technology behind many industrial companies and many of the applications we see in our daily lives. Whether it’s at home or at work, whether it’s in mobile or stationary applications: Life as we know it wouldn’t be possible without hydraulic systems.

Sluices wouldn’t open or close properly, construction vehicles wouldn’t function correctly, cable cars wouldn’t run, and most machines would no longer manufacture things.

In the same vein, no the-

atre stage would rotate, no harvesting machine would work quickly and precisely, and trucks couldn’t unload their goods. Personal and professional life would become a lot less convenient.

Many developments spell optimization that said, there have been many attempts over the past 40 years to replace hydraulic systems with other technologies. That’s because, apart from their undisputed advantages, hydraulic systems and applications were considered coarse, clumsy, and only really of any use in rough industrial settings.

They were also deemed inefficient energy hogs prone

to leakages. In recent years, the energy debate has ferociously challenged hydraulic systems, and more and more electric solutions have tried to take on the leading role. Some have even predicted that hydraulic systems would share the same fate as the dinosaurs.

But the dinosaurs are coming back. A multitude of innovations, developments, and enhancements are seeing hydraulic systems and applications improve considerably – and sustainably. There’s no end in sight. Is there evidence of this? Our university of applied sciences has established an endowed chair for oil hydraulics and our competence centre for hydraulics now has 17 member companies – clear indications of a renaissance.

That’s because one thing is certain: hydraulic systems are strong, robust, and they work more reliably than most comparable technologies. And little by little, they are regaining ground lost in the battle. The reasons for this are quite clear.

Hydraulic systems and applications are becoming more intelligent Thanks to new ways of thinking and development approaches that focus on systems, hydraulic technology is becoming more efficient, versatile, and precise. By integrating high-performance electronics and control software, hydraulic systems are constantly becoming more “intelligent.” All the while, the software also ensures that increasingly complex systems are becoming easier to operate. And that’s not all – the focus on systemic factors is reaching out into more and more areas.

The limits to how far we can stretch the mechanical production of control blocks are being eradicated, but when we do reach the limit, software can help us go further – for example, when balancing oscilla-

tions at specific operating points. Control valves are becoming even more precise and faster. Oils and fluids are also advancing further. It’s quite conceivable to develop fluid sensors that detect wear, and report when a part should be exchanged.

Seals are becoming more application-specific and being developed in line with their intended use. They will reconcile the two opposing objectives of minimizing friction while maximizing sealing performance. This is giving rise to trendsetting sealing systems that can be connected or switched off, such as the Turcon Roto L system developed by Trelleborg Sealing Solutions. Such developments are paving the way for systems that we are already seeing in use, like a tire pressure system that allows for variable tire pressure and which can be adjusted while the system is running.

Hydraulics 4.0 – autonomous systems are feasible Hydraulic systems will gradually become even more intelligent. They will be self-monitoring by using high performance sensors, and maintenance will not be carried out during downtime, but dynamically. Depending on the state and load of the hydraulic system, reports will be displayed indicating required

March 2015 maintenance or when to change components or fluids. All of this will be accompanied by the highest possible energy efficiency and even greater overall efficiency. And this isn’t even taking Industry 4.0 into account. Quite conceivably, completely autonomous systems will exist in the future. These will monitor and service themselves – more like Hydraulics 4.0.

All of this bolsters the undisputed advantages of hydraulic drives: No other drive system is as powerful and as robust. The “dinosaurs of drive technology” might just outlive everything else.

Competence through cooperation The Kompetenzzentrum Hydraulik is a privately funded centre of excellence for hydraulics at Ulm University of Applied Sciences. It was established to promote the qualification of young talent as hydraulics specialists. The centre, sponsored by the chamber of commerce and industry in Ulm (IHK Ulm), will receive over one million euros from its sponsoring companies, including Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, over the next five years. Each of these companies will also delegate a representative to sit on the advisory board to define core tuition and work activities. b

“First To See Will Buy” Rings True For Geddes Group The Geddes Group is meeting customers’ demands through a much more productive and efficient washing solution offered by Terex Washing Systems (TWS) at their new site, Struan Quarry Edzell. The Geddes Group’s sand and gravel reserves were running low at the Stannochy Quarry, which prompted the need to identify a new gravel pit site, as well as a new wash plant, as their current system was old and becoming inefficient. The requirement to

produce a premium sand and gravel product to serve their concrete and asphalt business, led them to the AggreSand, a cutting edge solution offered by Terex Washing Systems (TWS).

This would address their high silt problem, with the ability to produce 3 aggregates and two sands, as well as meeting the need of their growing customer base. The Geddes Group is a family firm established over 70 years ago, originating from an agricultural base, where they still own

and operate farms as Geddes Farms. They also offer a full range of earthworks, tipping, recycling and muck away facilities, quarry aggregates, asphalt and ready-mix concrete products. The operation is based in Arbroath with depots, quarries and plants throughout east and central Scotland.

The Geddes family were the first customers to see the world’s first AggreSand in operation, following the official launch event, and again at the Hillhead Show,

UK, in June 2014. They could immediately see the benefits the AggreSand could offer them, in terms of modularity, small foot print and overall design.

They particularly liked the concept of capturing their entire useable sand product, having previously used a traditional system that was not as efficient.

It was following these site visits and several consultations with TWS and their Scottish distributor, Blue Group, Scotland, that a decision was made to purchase the AggreSand.

Upon the first viewing of the plant, Frank Geddes, Managing Director, Neill Geddes, Plant Director and Graham Geddes, Director commented “on viewing the plant for the first time I immediately saw the benefits of the plant and it was evident it was the solution for Geddes. The access and serviceability features off the machines, along with the roll-out centrifugal pumps and roll out chute work, were especially valuable features. In addition the feed hopper design and capacity was a selling point. It was obvious from viewing the plant operating and the processing capability that a considerable amount of thought and design went into it.”

TWS Distributor in Scotland, Blue Group, Scotland, and TWS applications and engineer’s teams worked closely with the Geddes Group, firstly to identify

their specific requirements in terms of desired products and specification. This involved several sites visits, feed material analysis, plant drawings and design modifications to suit their specific spec. Samples of the feed material were sent for further testing at TWS Headquarters in Dungannon. A full civils and plant layout drawing was provided, outlining the water and electrical; input/output points. The high sand to stone ratio suggested that the high capacity plant would be the most suited solutions for their specific needs. The service and support from TWS, along with their distributor, is typical of what customers can expect when purchasing a TWS product. TWS offer their expertise and highly skilled team of engineers to assist and guide the customer from the initial conception to final installation.

The plant was installed and fully commissioned at the Geddes site in November 2014, and was in fact the first AggreSasnd to grace the Scottish shores, with a further one since installed at another site in Inverness.

Neill Geddes, Plant Director, added “The expertise and support we received from TWS and Blue Group, Scotland, has been second to none, making the entire process easy. The plant has been producing effectively since it was installed. The HMI Control system was a feature that struck me.

The ability and ease of obtaining live data in terms of water pressures, flows, cyclone feed pressures as

March 2015 well as motor amp reading was very impressive. Undoubtedly the AggreSand 165 with its 16x5 screen and high capacity 200tph sand plant will leave Geddes in a strong position to meet current demand and keep up with our ambitious growth plans.”

The feed material, natural sand and gravel, is prescreened and fed from a loading shovel onto a H9 hopper. The top deck is fitted out with 24mm (sq.) polyurethane modules and 12mm on the middle deck.

The bottom deck is split 1/3rd 3mm and 2/3rd 5mm to produce two grades of sand, concrete and building.

From time to time, the concrete sand fraction on this site can be, what is referred to as “hungry,” however by utilizing the unique AggreSand cyclone underflow blending system we are able to transfer a percentage of fines from the building sand to the concrete sand, thus ensuring specification is maintained.

In addition the plant is producing three clean aggregates (10mm, 20mm and 40mm) for use as draining, landscaping and concrete stone.

Quarry Foreman, Charles Wallace, explained “The AggreSand is a delight to work with, it is extremely quiet running, no spillages and the belts run very smoothly, with no roll-back that can be a typical problem with some plants. I was also very impressed with the extremely fast installation and set-up, we were up and running in no time and are producing high quality products.” b

Safety Campaign Launching For Underground Utilities Follow utility excavation best practices to help save lives and avoid property damage. That’s the underlying message of a new industry safety awareness and education campaign.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) initiated the campaign as an industry wide collaborative effort to: • Promote best practices for jobsite preparation and equipment operation • Demonstrate underground utility installation and repair as safe,

efficient and effective Machinery covered includes horizontal directional drills, vacuum excavators, trenchers and related underground equipment.

Several AEM working committees of manufacturer members helped develop campaign ideas and scope.

“Stay tuned for more information and content!” stated William Bernhard, Technical & Safety Services Manager at AEM. For more information and to get involved, contact AEM’s Bernhard (wbernhard@aem. org, tel: 414-298-4106). b

New 1050K Crawler Is Deere Designed And Manufactured Designed and built in Dubuque, Iowa, the 1050K Crawler Dozer is the largest, most powerful dozer ever built by John Deere.

Utilizing years of research and extensive customer feedback, the 1050K has the durability, reliability, and productivity needed for mining, quarrying, road building, and other largescale applications.

“The 1050K is a new generation of crawler dozer that provides the uptime, low daily operating costs, and productivity needed on today’s jobsite,” said Mark Oliver, crawler dozers product marketing manager, John Deere Construction & Forestry. “Customer feedback was vital in developing this gamechanging dozer. This is a Deere-designed machine that is fully supported by John Deere dealers and it’s unlike any crawler dozer our customers have ever seen in this size class.”

The 1050K incorporates an EPA Final Tier 4/ EU Stage IV PowerTech™ diesel engine with 350 hp (261 kW). Completely redesigned from the ground up, the 1050K’s dual-path hydrostatic transmission allows an operator to push a full load through turns without losing material, unlike torque-converter transmissions on competitor machines.

Like the smaller 850K, the 1050K features Eco mode. The Eco mode feature optimizes fuel economy while maintaining ground speed by automatically adjusting engine speed and transmission settings based on load.

This has the potential to reduce fuel consumption up to 25 percent with no loss in productivity in many applications.

Operators don’t have to worry about diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning as it still occurs automatically with no impact to machine operation. Ash service intervals for the diesel particulate filter are condition based, meaning the machine will notify the operator before service is required. Typically, ash service is not necessary until the first engine overhaul.

Extensive testing allowed John Deere’s DPF to go up to 15,000 hours before ash removal. The 1050K also features excellent total fluid economy (diesel fuel and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF)).

The production-class dozer’s heavy-duty undercarriage is sealed, lubricated, and built to last. Its oval-track design has only one wear-causing forwardtravel flex point, for longer life. One-piece welded maintenance resists torsional stress, absorbs shock loads, and delivers

maximum strength while allowing easy service access to major components.

For added durability, heavy-duty double-reduction planetary final drives are mounted independent of the track frames, where they’re effectively protected from shock loads.

Inside the cab, a deluxe suspension high-back seat is angled 15 degrees to provide a more comfortable view of the ripper and adjusts seven ways for daylong comfort. An updated LCD display monitor provides enhanced onboard diagnostics with real time values for every temperature, pressure, and speed sensor on the machine. The crawler dozers constantly monitor transmission temperature to avoid damage to the hydrostat system.

Before tackling the jobsite, operators can set the maximum desired ground speed, and the power management system automatically maintains peak engine RPM and power efficiency without stalling or shifting.

An ergonomically correct joystick provides intuitive, low-effort control of steering, direction, and groundspeed. An exclusive Total Machine Control (TMC) monitor allows an operator to select decelerator mode and response – forward/reverse groundspeed ranges, steering modulation, F-N-R shift rate, and forward/reverse speed ratios.

A hydraulic power-pitch option allows the operator to control blade pitch from the cab. The blade pitch is also adjustable to three mount locations for

superior performance in a variety of applications and materials. The programmable return-to-pitch settings allow the operator to preset blade-pitch positions, which can be activated with the push of a button.

The 1050K’s controls can be customized to meet the individual needs of an operator. The decelerator can slow both ground-

speed and engine RPM, or with the touch of a button, control ground-speed only, to help maintain traction without affecting engine power and hydraulic response. Fully depressing the pedal applies the brakes.

With standard ElectroHydraulic (EH) controls, all 1050K dozers are gradecontrol ready making add-

ing a grade-control system as easy as plugging in the components, calibrating, and going to work. John Deere’s “open-architecture” design lets customers easily employ their favorite brand of grade-control system – Trimble, Topcon, or Leica.

Manitowoc To Separate Into Two Independent Publicly-Traded Companies The Manitowoc Company’s Board of Directors has approved a plan to pursue a separation of the company’s Cranes and Foodservice businesses into two independent, publicly-traded companies. The company currently anticipates effecting the separation through a tax-free spin-off of the Foodservice business and expects the spin-off to be completed in the first quarter of 2016, creating two separate, industry-leading companies with distinct enterprise strategies.

“Manitowoc’s management team and our Board of Directors regularly evaluate and explore op-

portunities to optimize the company’s performance and create value for shareholders,” commented Glen E. Tellock, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the company. “Manitowoc has taken and continues to take actions to enhance returns, including margin expansion initiatives, reinvestment in our businesses, and utilization of our free cash flow to delever our balance sheet.

We believe the separation of Cranes and Foodservice will position these businesses to take advantage of anticipated long-term improvement in demand and other opportunities in their

respective markets.”

Tellock continued, “Over the past several years, we have transformed Manitowoc and worked to build two strong business platforms within one enterprise, and each business enjoys global leadership and is positioned for sustainable growth and value creation. After a comprehensive evaluation, including a thorough review of the current and projected operating environments for the two segments, we have determined that the Cranes and Foodservice businesses are best-suited to realize their full potential on a standalone basis.”

Advanced Drainage Systems Acquires Ideal Pipe of Canada Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc. (“ADS”) (NYSE: WMS), a leading global manufacturer of water management products and solutions for commercial, residential, infrastructure and agricultural applications, today announced that it has acquired Ideal Pipe of Canada, a manufacturer of HDPE pipe and related accessories for approxi-

mately $56.8 million Canadian dollars. Ideal Pipe had sales in Canadian dollars of approximately $43 million for the trailing twelve months, providing $7.8 million in EBITDA over the same period.

“We are very excited to announce the acquisition of Ideal Pipe, which further strengthens our position in Canada by increasing our size and scale in the

market, as well as enhancing our manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities,” said Joe Chlapaty, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

“Through the combination of our businesses, we will be able to pursue new and exciting opportunities in the Canadian market and offer our customers an unmatched breadth of water management products and

According to the company, The Cranes business, which reported annual revenue of $2.3 billion in the 12-month period ended Dec. 31, 2014, is one of the world’s largest providers of lifting equipment for the global construction industry, including lattice-boom cranes, tower cranes, mobile telescopic cranes, and boom trucks. The business holds leading market positions and highly recognized brands, including Manitowoc, Grove, National Crane, Potain, Shuttlelift and Crane Care brand names. The business operates 37 facilities in 18 countries and generates nearly 60 percent of its revenue from non-U.S. markets.

Through its extensive global footprint, strategic focus on product innovation, and strong after-market support, the Cranes business solutions, as well as field sales/engineering experience. This puts us in a stronger competitive position as compared to manufacturers of concrete, steel and PVC pipe.”

Mr. Chlapaty, continued, “Importantly, this acquisition also underscores our commitment to a balanced capital allocation strategy that is focused on investing in growth opportunities, both organically and through strategic acquisitions – as well as returning cash to our shareholders through a quarterly dividend." b

is well-positioned to take advantage of expected improving demand in the residential and non-residential construction markets to generate long-term growth in revenue and net income.

The Foodservice business, which reported annual revenue of $1.6 billion in the 12-month period ended Dec. 31, 2014, is one of the world’s leading innovators and manufacturers of commercial foodservice equipment serving the ice, beverage, refrigeration, food prep, and cooking needs of restaurants, convenience stores, hotels, hospitals, and other institutions. The business has a worldwide network of 120 distributors serving dozens of well-recognized restaurant chains. The business promotes more than 24 industry-leading brands, including Manitowoc, Garland, Convotherm, Cleveland, Lincoln, Merrychef, Frymaster, Delfield, Kolpak, Kysor Panel, Servend, Multiplex, KitchenCare, Inducs, Koolaire and Manitowoc Beverage System, and has a global presence that spans five continents and more than 80 countries. Through its broad range of innovative products, expansion of its global network, and launch

of sustainability initiatives, the Foodservice business is expected to enhance profitability and generate strong cash flow.

The company determined to pursue the separation of the two businesses in order to: • Position each business to pursue individual strategies as market conditions improve; • Enable each business to attract a long-term investor base appropriate for the particular operational and financial characteristics of each entity; • Enable investors to value each company separately; and • Enhance the flexibility of each business to pursue distinct capital structures and capital allocation strategies to meet the individual needs of each business.

Manitowoc expects to continue to execute its stated strategy and capital allocation plans as management works through the execution of the separation, resulting in further deleveraging from now until completion of the transaction. As a result, Manitowoc expects each independent company to have a capital structure and credit rating consistent with that of Manitowoc today. b

New Doosan DX255LC-5 Crawler Excavator The 184-horsepower Doosan DX255LC-5 crawler excavator has been added to the Tier 4-compliant line-up, featuring improved performance, operator-focused comfort, fuel economy and jobsite durability.

The Tier 4-compliant model replaces the interim Tier 4 (iT4) DX255LC-3.

Smart Power Control A new selectable feature, Smart Power Control (SPC), consists of two systems — Variable Speed Control and Pump Torque Control — that work together to improve machine efficiency while maintaining productivity and reducing fuel consumption.

The engine control unit (ECU) automatically manages SPC when SPC is engaged. Each of the four power modes will function with SPC engaged or disengaged; however, SPC can be active only in the digging work mode.

Variable Speed Control:

Reduces engine rpm during low workload requirements such as during the swing portion of a dig cycle. This reduces the total energy required to perform a task and improves fuel efficiency by up to 3-7 percent.

Pump Torque Control: Efficiently matches hydraulic pump torque and engine response to the task, preventing engine overload and excess fuel consumption, improving efficiency.

Display enhancements An improved 7-inch LCD screen allows operators to continue monitoring the excavator parameters while viewing the rear-view and/ or side-view camera image. Critical machine data appears next to the camera view. With an optional side camera, a split screen allows both camera displays to be viewed at once. New additions to the monitor include the DEF gauge and improved fuel efficiency.

To help save valuable diesel fuel, Doosan added auto-shutdown to its excavators to help owners save fuel during non-working conditions. Operators can configure the idle time from 3 to 60 minutes.

When enabled, the feature will shut down the excavator’s engine when the preset idle time is met. This is particularly helpful in California where state regulations require idling for only 5 minutes for off-highway machines.

New machine updates In addition to auto-shutdown and LCD screen updates, the new Doosan DX255LC-5 crawler excavator has the following updates: • Improved anti-skid plates: for easier engine access for machine maintenance • Auto belt tensioner, fan and air conditioning: simplifies maintenance • Emergency engine stop: relocated for easier op-

erator access • Improved serviceability: allows for easier access to components and less time for maintenance • Upgraded alternator: delivers improved power for electrical components • New front window design: provides good visibility to the work area Doosan Telematics Doosan excavators come with a standard 3-year subscription to Doosan Telematics, which allows equipment owners and fleet managers to remotely monitor machine location, hours, fuel usage, engine idle versus work time, error codes and engine as well as hydraulic temperatures.

Machines can be monitored via an online Doosan Telematics account. In addition, Doosan dealers can provide im-

proved customer support using the system by responding to machine warning messages and alerts, troubleshooting machine issues, and then sending a field service vehicle to help with repairs and the proper parts.

Tier 4 compliance The Doosan DX255LC-5 complies with Tier 4 emission standards with modified diesel engines and aftertreatment technologies.

The engine is optimized for use with a high-pressure common-rail (HPCR) fuel delivery system and a cooled exhaust gas recirculation (CEGR) system. It utilizes a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to reduce particulate matter (PM) and selective catalyst reduction (SCR) aftertreatment to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx). Addition-

ally, a variety of aftertreatment systems have been implemented as part of the Tier 4 compliance, such as diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), which is used with SCR technology.

Options Factory-installed options for the new Doosan crawler excavators include the following: • Straight travel pedal, which allows the operator to travel in a straight line more easily • Two-way auxiliary hydraulic pedal (in addition to joystick control) • Diesel-powered coolant heater for cold starts • Cab guarding for special applications • Additional work lamps • Rotate circuit hydraulic piping • Intelligent floating boom b

A Site For Clean Energy

Construction of BC Hydro’s Site C Clean Energy Project slated to begin this summer.

By Ronald Mullins

The Site C Clean Energy Project will become the third major hydroelectric dam on the British Columbia portion of the Peace River. Artist rendering courtesy BC Hydro.

E

ven with the recent major downward shift in the global price of oil, the ebb and flow of the worldwide demand for clean energy intensifies. Recently BC Hydro and the Province of British Columbia took another major forward step in the province’s goal to become Canada’s premier green province.

First suggested by BC Hydro, a provincial crown corporation, in the 1970s, the Site C Clean Energy Project on the Peace River, approximately 7 km. from Fort St. John in northeast British Columbia, has been studied in depth at every level by both the provincial and federal governments.

In addition, First Nations’ governments, environmental and conservancy groups and impacted parties have kept close watch on the regulatory and approval processes.

As early as 1980, BC Hydro applied for an Energy Project Certificate to build the dam. BC Hydro anticipates that in the next 20 years electricity needs for the province are expected to grow up to 40 percent. Under his watch, Premier Gordon Campbell stated “Hydroelectric power helped develop our province and Site C will build on B.C.’s heritage of clean, renewable and affordable power.”

In 2011, a full regulatory review was launched by both the federal and provincial governments and included input by the

public, First Nations, stakeholders, communities and customers. The joint panel review issued its final report in May 2014 and the project received environmental approvals from the federal and provincial governments in October 2014.

Then on December 16, 2014, B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced that the government was advancing the Site C Clean Energy Project to construction.

Currently the project is at the RFP/Procurement stage and is open to suppliers from across the country.

First shovels in the ground are expected in summer 2015. Final completion and operation is anticipated to go online in 2024.

Not unlike similar projects in other Canadian provinces, the Site C dam project became the flash point for both those in support and those opposed. The December announcement by Premier Clark brought forth a new round of both positive support and negative controversy. According to the premier, “In order for our economy to grow, we need to ensure there is power.”

Clark then paraphrased former Premier Gordon Campbell when she said the dam will bring clean, reliable and affordable power to the province.

Opposition Continues However, Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, did not share the same enthusiasm as Premier Clark for this project. Stewart’s

response to the announcement, “This is an ill-advised and incredibly stupid decision the province has made regarding the Site C Project.”

Environmental protection groups such as the Peace Valley Environment Association, the Sierra Club and the Wilderness Committee, to name just three, are continuing to mount strong opposition to Site C. They are joined by other opposing groups like the Peace River landowners and individuals such as Hudson Hope mayor Gwen Johansson. The chorus of opposition does not seem to be fading.

Local Support Grows However, coffee-shopchatter in Fort St. John seems to be growing and is much more positive. According to Greg Hansen, General Manager of Great West Equipment’s FSJ operations, “In general people are looking forward to the economic benefits it will bring to the area. Yes, there are those that oppose it, and they have some good points, but in general I believe it will be good both in the short and long term for British Columbia.”

The Site C Clean Energy Project will become the third major hydroelectric dam on the British Columbia portion of the Peace River. The first being the Gordon M. Shrum generating station at the W.A.C. Bennett Dam which began operation in 1968. At 186 metres high, the Bennett

Dam is one of the highest earth-filled dams in the world. At an electricity output of 2,730 MW, it is the fourth largest hydroelectric generating station in Canada.

The second on the river was the concrete Peace Canyon Dam located at Hudson Hope, B.C. just 23 kilometres downstream from the Bennett Dam. This dam was completed in 1980. The Peace Canyon hydroelectric generating station, with an output of 694 MW, is the 32nd largest in Canada.

The earth-filled Site C dam and generating station, with a planned output of 1,100 MW, will have approximately the same output as Hydro Quebec’s Jean-Lesage (1,145 MW) and Manic 5 (1,064 MW) hydroelectric generating stations, making Site C the 17th largest hydroelectric generating facility in the country.

The largest electricity generating station in Canada, at a capacity of 6,300 MW, is the Bruce Nuclear Generating Station at Tiverton, Ontario, northwest of Toronto on the shores of Lake Huron. This facility alone produces about 30% of Ontario’s electricity.

The Peace River, flowing from the Finlay River, originates high in the Rocky Mountains and flows to the northeast through northern Alberta eventually emptying into the Slave River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River. b

New J Series Crushers From McCloskey AGG1 visitors will get a first look at McCloskey International’s new jaw crusher, the J45, in Baltimore, Maryland March 17-19, 2015. On display at Booth 1064, the J45’s true 45” x 27” jaw, with both level and load sensors, ensures the most efficient material handling across applications. The new model joins the redesigned V2 Series jaw crushers coming to the market, including the J40 V2 and the J50 V2.

Also being introduced is the J45R, which allows operators to produce a crushed and screened final product with one machine.

Like the J45, the J45R boasts a 14’-10.2” x 7’-3/4” hopper with close to 9 cubic yards (6.8m3) capacity. The 5’ x10’ Screenbox features McCloskey “High Energy” technology, with adjustable speed. Rugged and versatile, both models have undergone rigorous

field-testing to ensure the reliability required for the toughest projects around the globe.

“We’ve had the new J Series out with customers in the field for over a year now,” said John O’Neill, Vice-President Sales and Marketing for McCloskey International.” “We based the changes to the design on customer feedback.

Once we incorporated their feedback, we sent it back into the field for their assessment. All have come back saying their production has increased substantially, and their processing of materials in a number of formats is even more efficient than before.

AGG1 is seen as the perfect opportunity for McCloskey International to introduce the new features and benefits of the J Series jaw crusher line. The J40 and J50 crushers have been enhanced with a number of

production boosting features, including heavier flywheels and cheek plates, and are optimized for Type 1 crushing applications.

In addition to the change in the cheek plates and flywheel, a steeper nip angle allows for better crushing in the mid and upper chamber sections, and ultimately delivers better jaw die utilization. Combining these enhancements, both the J45 and J45 have the power and production of much larger crushers in a smaller and more efficient footprint. A faster jaw speed also delivers more production with more material passing through the crushing chamber.

The J45 and J45R feature a TEDD panel that is more concise, and easier to understand. For quarries with multiple equipment operators, training is reduced as the panel is easy to read, and displays more

Gardiner Expressway To Re-Open Early For Summer Driving Season Toronto Mayor John Tory recently announced that construction work currently underway on the Gardiner Expressway from Exhibition Place to Grand Magazine Street will be completed up to two months ahead of schedule, depending on weather conditions this winter.

The expressway is expected to re-open in May 2015, several weeks sooner than was originally planned for this phase of the work thanks to an accelerated work schedule negotiated by the City and the contractor.

“Traffic congestion is strangling this city and a big part of solving that problem is getting public sector construction projects done faster,” said Mayor Tory.

“Going forward, I plan to work with City staff to ensure we bring this hurry up approach to projects across

the city so we can get this City moving.”

“This is about making smart, informed decisions,” said Councillor Jaye Robinson (Ward 25 Don Valley West), Chair of the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. “Today’s investment will reduce congestion and gridlock - it’s a common sense approach.”

The City evaluated the cost and benefits of implementing acceleration costs within the contract budget in order to complete this work early. The maximum paid in acceleration costs would be $2 million depending on the actual completion date.

Currently, the City of Toronto estimates the cost of construction on the Gardiner Expressway is about $1 million per day for commuters as a result of increased travel time from lane closures related to

The full completion of the work to rehabilitate the deck is expected to be done

by December 2016. Construction work will resume at this location following the conclusion of the Pan Am Games.

While this work is ongoing, the City has taken steps to minimize disruption to the travelling public, including: • Implementing traffic signal timing changes to enhance traffic flow on nearby routes • Co-ordinating other construction projects with key stakeholders to avoid major work taking place along parallel routes, and • Working to plan improved co-ordination and response to incidents on the Gardiner Expressway.

This construction project is part of the City’s comprehensive and coordinated strategy to rehabilitate and upgrade roads, transit and underground infrastructure for current and future needs. b Komatsu will not only achieve safe and highproductivity job-site operation by connecting all information on job sites through ICT (information and communication technology), but also apply its accumulated data to the maintenance work of an aging social infrastructure and reconstruction of natural disaster-destroyed regions.

Komatsu has established the Smart Construction Promotion Division, and is going to offer this new solution business through Komatsu Rental Ltd. initially in Japan, where aging of the population is progressing quickly. b

Boskalis Invests In A New, Environmentally Friendly High Flow Pump Unit Boskalis Nederland is a part of Royal Boskalis Westminster N.V. Boskalis was established in 1910 and has expanded from a local dredging contractor to a leading global maritime services company with over 11.000 employees.

Originally, dredging and earth moving were the core activities of the company.

They are now additionally active in the construction and maintenance of harbours, land reclamation, inland infra, and offshore energy sectors.

The Challenge Boskalis Technical Service Nederland (their internal rental company) in Capelle aan den IJssel manages several mobile pump units with high and ultra high flows. Boskalis clearly prefers environmentally friendly equipment and has very specific requirements from their pumps which include; • The pump must have a minimum capacity of 5000 m3/hr and a pressure in excess of 3 bar; • Excellent suction capabilities (NPSHr curve) and suitable for use as a

dewatering pump; • High fuel efficiency combined with the lowest exhaust emissions; • The pump unit should fit into a 20 ft. container for easy transport; • The maximum weight should be no more than 12,000 kilograms.

Boskalis has a number of widely divergent projects around the globe.

This makes multi-functionality and ease of logistic handling important factors in the purchase of new equipment. In addition, durability and corporate social responsibility are central to the company’s values. As an example Bas van den Brand, a technical superintendent with Boskalis Nederland, mentions the topic of weight. “For a pumpset of this size, 11 to 12 tons is usually the maximum permissible due to limitations in handling on site. Also, the soil layers can be substantially compacted and cannot always carry the weight”.

The Solution Early in October 2014, Boskalis Nederland offi-

cially commissioned the delivery of a BBA high flow pump unit of the type BA-C500S11 D711 with a very attractive efficiency of 86%. The auto prime pump provides a capacity of 5500 m3/hour (24000 US GPM) and a maximum head of 37mwk (120 ft). The pump is driven by a modern Stage IV Volvo Penta diesel

engine; the TAD1374VE. This provides a power of 375kW and delivers the lowest specific fuel consumption in its class (207 g/kWh). Exhaust gas is treated using AdBlue®. It is fully equipped with the newly developed, extremely silent and light weight canopy and its dimensions ensure that it fits into a 20 ft. container without any problems. The total weight of the pump unit is just 10.800kg!

The Result The new BA-C500S11 has now been deployed in

a first project in Muiden.

The A1 highway is being widened and partially rerouted. The Boskalis Nederland employees on-site are very impressed with the pumping performance, especially with regards to the low noise emissions.

Upon commissioning positive feedback abounded: “This pump unit only has to work half throttle to do the job – at 1250 rpm it provides as much capacity as the old one at 2000 rpm”.

“Incredible, there’s not

Page 17 even any smoke from the exhaust at start-up”.

“It’s amazingly quiet” “The former pump unit regularly clogged up due to solid materials as a result of the vertical drainage hose we use here – fortunately the BA-C500S11 can just pump it”.

BBA Pumps has decided to include this pump unit in its standard product range.

Henno Schothorst, BBA Pumps’ Product Manager says: “We can’t ignore this any longer; this is a pump unit for the future”. b

Forest Industry Welcomes New Research Excellence Fund FPInnovations and the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC) announced that the federal government is moving ahead with the Canada First Research Excellence Fund.

Details of the initiative were revealed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper at an event in Markham, ON, in the presence of Ed Holder, Minister of State (Science and Technology). The Fund will position Canada’s postsecondary institutions to compete with the best in the world for talent and breakthrough discoveries, creating long-term economic advantages for Canada.

Post-secondary institutions are already a vital part of the dynamic forest innovation system that has resulted in world-first

developments in Canada’s forest products industry.

Canada can point to the award-winning cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) research and midply wall construction system as clear examples of cuttingedge innovations brought

by FPInnovations’ strategic partnerships with Canadian universities. In 2013, Canadian scientist Derek Gray received the prestigious Marcus Wallenberg award for his cutting-edge CNC research during his career with McGill University and FPInnovations. The Midply Wall System, an innovative redesign of standard shear walls used in construction was developed by scientists from FPInnovations and the University of British Columbia under funding from Natural Resources Canada.b

Enthusiasm Was The Theme At Canada’s Top Trade Show Over 12,000 professionals attended the show, which featured 586 exhibitors on eight acres of floor space. Landscape construction and maintenance are the primary sectors served by Congress, as well as other green industry specialties ranging from retailing to nursery growing to landscape design. According to the mood of attendees, the recent economic downturn is history; delegates were energized and looking to grow their businesses. “Congress is always a great start to my new year. It is where I catch up with my industry contacts and start to develop new

ideas, while at the same time, seeing what’s new in the industry at such a world-class event,” says Alan White of Turf Systems, a Burlington, Ont.,based lawn care and snow management provider.

Congress is an initiative of Landscape Ontario Horticultural Trades Association, one of the most vibrant associations of its kind in the world. Congress consistently ranks as one of Canada’s Top Ten trade shows. Hutcheson Sand and Mixes, Mar-Co Clay and Stone, TechoBloc, Battlefield Equipment Rentals and Stihl received Best Booth awards for the 2015 show. Kubota

Construction Spending Ends 2014 At Highest Level Since 2008 Construction spending rose in December to a sixyear high of $982 billion as public construction for the year increased for the first time since 2009, according to an analysis by the Associated General Contractors of America.

Association officials said President Obama’s budget proposal and his suggested infrastructure funding program should help construction spending continue to grow by accelerating debate about the best way to fund repairs to the nation’s aging roads, bridges, and other public infrastructure.

“For the first time in nearly a decade there was growth in all three major construction segmentspublic, private non-residential and residential,” said Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “If the president and Congress can work out a way to pay for long-term investments in our aging infrastructure, there is a good chance this pattern will repeat in 2015.”

Construction spending in December totalled $982 billion at a seasonally adjusted annual rate, 0.4 percent higher than in November, 2.2 percent

higher than in December 2013, and the highest monthly figure since December 2008, Simonson noted. The full year total of $961 billion was up 5.6 percent from 2013 and was the highest full year amount since 2008.

Private residential spending in December climbed 0.3 percent from November but slid 4.0 percent from a year earlier, while private non-residential spending slipped 0.2 percent for the month but rose 5.3 percent yearover-year. Public construction spending increased 1.1 percent from November and 6.7 percent from December 2013.

For the full year, private residential spending rose 4.1 percent, private non-residential spending climbed 11 percent, and public spending grew 1.8 percent.

“The hottest segments in 2014 as a whole were warehouses, which leaped 50 percent, and multifamily, which climbed 34 percent,” Simonson added.

“Both of these categories should do well again in 2015.”

Other private nonresidential segments that

Canada won the Best of Show award for its outstanding display, which included a full-sized loader done up as a cellophane and cardboard-packaged toy. “We had fun with tweets like, ‘This toy doesn’t depreciate when you open it,’” said Jillian Kleovoulos, Kubota Canada marketing specialist.

NewRoads National Leasing was honoured with the Special Promotion award, for its creativity in promoting show attendance electronically. A high visibility opportunity offered to exhibitors was display space in the New Product Showcase. The Showcase was always busy with grew steeply in 2014 included offices (24 percent); manufacturing (16 percent); power, including oil and gas pipelines and field work (14 percent); and commercial-retail, warehouse and farm (13 percent), Simonson observed. He noted that office and retail construction included many renovation projects as well as new starts.

The two biggest public segments both grew in 2014: highways and streets (4.1 percent) and education (1.2 percent). In addition, public spending on transportation facilities such as transit, airport and ports rose 4.9 percent, Simonson said.

Association officials said the infrastructure funding outlined in the president’s latest budget will help stimulate needed debate on the best way to finance repairs and additions to the nation’s vital public infrastructure. “The president’s budget proposal opens the door to a healthy debate about the best way to finance our long-term infrastructure needs,” said Stephen E. Sandherr, the association’s chief executive officer. “Congress should take advantage of this opportunity and work with the president to find the right funding solution.” b

delegates interested in the new product offerings.

Congress is also the Canadian industry’s professional development hub, offering over 30 sessions and keynotes through the Congress Conference series. Integrated Pest Management, landscape design, peer mentoring and irrigation were all topics of special conferences. Julie Moir Messervy, Jeffrey Scott, Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons, Meg Soper, Jim Paluch, Tom Shay and Peter van Stralen are just a few of the high profile speakers presented at this year’s event.

An annual Congress highlight is Landscape Ontario’s Awards of Excellence ceremony. Over 600 attended the Jan. 6, 2015, gala, which showcased breathtaking landscape projects. The ceremony featured professional staging and a live band, in talk-show format. The evening’s host was Frank Ferragine of Breakfast Television; his sidekick bore an uncanny resemblance to Jay Leno.

The green industry is committed to matching young people with rewarding careers in horticulture.

Students from horticulture programs at Durham, Fanshawe, Humber, Niagara and St. Clair colleges and the University of Guelph built (and dismantled) high-style display gardens at Congress.

All delegates were invited to the Wednesday evening Tailgate Party; the ultimate networking dinner event. The hardworking landscape industry looks forward to taking a break at Tailgate each year, and more than 800 attended in 2015.

Thanks are due to Congress sponsors Stone Arch/

Global Arch, Banas Stones, International Plaza Hotel, Landscape Trades magazine, the Landscape Ontario Hardscape Committee, Beaver Valley Stone, Best Way Stone, Bobcat, Medallion Fence and Vermeer Canada.

A very important component of the show’s leadership is its volunteer committee; these industry members actually pitch in before, during and after the show. When it comes to show operations, Congress has a reputation as exceptionally well organized, efficient and respectful. b

Johns Manville Introduces Next Generation Of Spray Foam Insulation Johns Manville (JM), a Berkshire Hathaway company and leading building products manufacturer, today announced the addition of JM Corbond OpenCell Spray Polyurethane Foam (oc SPF) and JM Corbond® Open-Cell Appendix X Spray Polyurethane Foam (ocx SPF) to its complete line of building insulation products. The new products replace the previous JM oc SPF line and are recommended for walls, floors, crawl spaces, and

both unvented and vented attics and ceilings.

“Our new high-performance JM Corbond opencell spray foams offer outstanding thermal performance and spray characteristics, which ultimately provide value to both our customers and building occupants.”

JM Corbond oc SPF is a two-component, lowdensity, non-structural insulation system designed for commercial, residential and industrial

applications. Its low-density nature allows for tremendous yield, while still affording air sealing of homes, offices and classrooms. This results in better air quality and increased comfort for building occupants.

Community Forest Pilot Project Begins The Nova Scotia government signed an agreement on Jan. 30th with Medway Community Forest Co-operative Ltd. to begin managing a community forest in Annapolis County, the first one in Eastern Canada.

A community forest is managed by local people to benefit the local economy.

“Government wants our forests managed in ways that bring us economic, environmental and social benefits. This pilot project is a key part of that mix,” said Zach Churchill, Min-

ister of Natural Resources.

The community forest is part of the natural resources strategy. The co-operative will develop a long-term, ecological plan to manage the working forest and nurture forest-based businesses that support the local economy. The proposal was chosen through an expression of interest process by the provincial government.

The three-year pilot project will be on 15,000 hectares (37,000 acres) of provincial Crown land. Government will contribute $274,000.

“Community forests across the country have helped contribute to rural economies and support direct community involvement in decision making,” said Will Martin, Chair of the Co-operative.

The Medway Community Forest Co-operative is supported by several groups including the Mersey Tobeatic Research Institute, Wind Horse Woods, the North Queens Board of Trade, the Federation of Nova Scotia Woodland Owners, Nova Scotia Woodland Owners and Operators Association, Nova Scotia Co-operative Council, and the Ecology Action Centre, as well as numerous local community members, forestry contractors and local mills. b

New Genie Fall Arrest Bar For Boom Lifts Genie is proud to announce the Fall Arrest Bar, a new safety accessory. This accessory is available for ANSI and CSA boom lifts and quickly attaches to a 6 ft or 8 ft platform on all 40 ft Genie telescopic boom lifts and 45 ft Genie articulating boom lifts and higher, except the S-125HD model. The Fall Arrest Bar allows a user to exit the platform and work comfortably around the outside of the platform with a 6 ft lanyard. This part is now available and may be ordered through our parts organization at gogenielift.com

“Genie is always looking for ways to meet our customers’ safety requirements. We worked extensively with customers to design and test this accessory and have been able to create a solution that meets their needs,” said Karen Stash, Senior Director of Global Product Management and Marketing, Terex Aerial Work Platforms (AWP).

A smooth, sliding, horizontal track design allows the operator to tie off and move freely outside the platform using a 6 ft shock-absorbing lanyard. The enclosed track, made from high strength steel, protects the trolley

from weather and debris.

The yellow, identifiable bar attaches quickly and easily, within 15 minutes, for fast setup and removal.

“Many boom operators have unusual access requirements; for example in the aviation industry while working on the wings of airplanes, or in amusement parks,” said Christine Zeznick, Boom Associate Product Manager, Terex AWP. “The Fall Arrest Bar accessory provides that extra safety enhancement for exiting the platform.”

The new Genie Fall Arrest Bar option complies with ANSI A92.5-2006 and CSA B354.4-02 standards for self-propelled booms.

The CE certification of the Genie Fall Arrest Solution is currently being evaluated. b

New Radar Sensor Header Height Control From Headsight Headsight, Inc., an industry leader in header height control solutions, announces their newest product, Terrahawk, the first of its kind in radar height control, a fully noncontact solution.

Non-contact sensors for header height control have been highly sought after in the ag industry for years. Engineers have experimented with sonar, and even radar, but obstacles of crops and terrain characteristics have literally stood in the way.

“I am very excited about Terrahawk,” said Rich Gramm, President of Headsight, Inc. “Our team has been working on

non-contact sensors since 2009. With the Terrahawk technology downed crops and challenging terrain will no longer be a problem. This Radar product will be a leader in the next phase of harvesting technology.”

The Terrahawk radar height control system is the most advanced header height control in the market. There are no moving parts, eliminating sensor wear. The height range has been increased, and because there is no sensor touching the ground, it doesn’t push crop, so there are no cables, chains or straps needed for backing up.
