Bandit Sponsors Parker Kligerman In Select 2013 Nascar Series Bandit Industries has signed a seven-race NASCAR sponsorship with Parker Kligerman, driving the number 77 Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. The sponsorship will see Bandit racing with Kligerman at several of NASCAR’s most famous tracks through the first half of 2013, beginning with the very first Nationwide Series race of 2013 at Daytona.

“We got our start in NASCAR with Parker back in 2010, and we’re thrilled to be back with him as part of Kyle Busch Motorsports,” said Travis Lint, Bandit’s NASCAR coordinator. “In that first race with Parker he went from dead last to finish in the top-ten, and last year he had a great run in the Truck Series. He’s going to be a Nationwide Series championship contender for 2013 and we couldn’t be more excited to be starting the year with him at Daytona.”

Kligerman joined Kyle Busch Motorsports this year after having a very successful 2012 season in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. Last year Kligerman finished 5th in the Truck Series standings with over 15 top-ten finishes, including his first NASCAR victory at Talladega. He signed with Kyle Busch Motorsports this year to run a full season in the Nationwide Series, joining Joey Coulter and Bubba Wallace to create a young but talented and successful racing team.

“It’s an honor to be representing Bandit Industries, their 450 employees and over 150 worldwide dealer locations though this partnership,” said Kligerman. “ Kyle (Busch) has put a terrific staff in place—both in the shop and in the front office—that is committed to all-around success and I’m confident that we will make this partnership a winning venture for everyone involved.”

Bandit will serve as the primary sponsor for Kligerman for two races, including the first Nationwide Series race of 2013—the DRIVE4COPD 300 on February 23 at Daytona. Bandit will be a co-primary sponsor for three races and an associate sponsor for two races. The current race schedule will have Bandit, Kligerman and Kyle Busch Motorsports racing at Bristol on March 16, Texas on April 12, Talladega on May 4, Michigan on June 15, Kentucky on June 29, and back to Daytona on July 6. Additional races with Kligerman and Kyle Busch Motorsports are a possibility.

In preparation for the first 2013 race at Daytona, Kligerman will be interviewed on SPEED TV’s NASCAR Race Hub Tuesday, February 12. The show will air on SPEED that evening at 6:00 P.M. Eastern Time.

Kyle Busch Motorsports has also produced a short YouTube video with Kligerman announcing the new sponsorship with Bandit.

Mining Industry Embraces Technology As Skilled Workforce Diminishes, According To BDO Study International mining executives are bracing for the negative impact the lack of a skilled workforce will have on their organizations, according to new research published by BDO. Of the mining executives surveyed, 79 percent feel the lack of a skilled workforce will have a negative

impact on their business this year. While environmental policy tops executives’ domestic regulatory concerns, with 34 percent citing it as a potential issue in the year ahead, labour and employment issues are a close second, with 30 percent of executives noting it as a major concern.

The survey of 130 CLevel and senior financial executives at mining companies in the United States (U.S.), South Africa, United Kingdom (U.K.), Australia and Canada sought their insights on regulatory affairs, employment and the environment.

While executives

around the globe grapple with labour and employment issues, 63 percent of South African executives note this is their primary concern - twice the survey average – due in large part to high regional unemployment rates and sustained labour unrest driven by working conditions related

to wages and social issues.

Mining executives are facing labour shortages head-on with technology.

The industry has an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation, improving both production and prospecting with new technologies that will increase efficiency and produce greater returns. In fact, 50 percent of executives believe that substituting technology for labour will have a positive impact on their business in 2013, creating a new intersection in the industry of old and new techniques.

“We are in the midst of a transition in the mining industry from a blue collar to a white collar workforce,” said Charles Dewhurst, Global National Resources Leader, Natural Resources Industry Group at BDO. “With advancements in technology – from new software that makes prospecting easier, to advancements in mineral transportation – the industry is at a critical juncture. Technology, and the individuals who are skilled in developing and utilizing these tools, is now more important than ever as demands for greater returns and increased productivity are forcing the industry to innovate.”

As commodity prices

May 2013 continue to rise, mining executives desire to increase production to maximize revenues. With 30 percent of executives noting that new technology will improve profitability in 2013, many are reinvesting their profits into technology that will improve and sustain their business in the future.

Despite their broader concerns surrounding labour and employment, 42 percent of mining executives believe that their total number of employees in 2013 will remain about the same, and 38 percent feel the size of their workforce will increase throughout the year.

Mining executives split on environmental priorities While 34 percent of international mining executives are concerned about domestic environmental policies, where they will direct their resources to address these concerns varies. Water pollution, including acid mine drainage and runoff, is the most-funded environmental initiative at 48 percent.

Australia bucks this trend, with only a quarter of its executives citing it as a Continued on page 7

Wajax And Kaman Form Strategic Alliance Wajax Industrial Components (“WIC”), a division of Wajax Corporation, and Kaman Industrial Technologies Corporation (Kaman) of Bloomfield.

Conn., two of North America’s leading industrial distributors, recently announced that they have formed a strategic alliance, strengthening the services offered to customers that have business assets in the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Puerto Rico. While bothf WIC and Kaman will remain as separate and independent entities, they will join forces to compete for business-to-business and supply agreements with customers in multiple jurisdictions, providing an alternative to country-based supply agreements. The alliance will operate under the name Sourcepoint Industrial.

“We’re expecting more and more customers to make purchasing decisions

on a global or international basis,” said Mark Foote, Wajax Corporation’s President and Chief Executive Officer, referring to the business trends which led to the alliance. “Whereas Wajax is very good at satisfying a customer’s Canadian needs, and Kaman is very good at satisfying a customer’s U.S. needs, on our own, we each have a limited ability to cover a customer’s needs across both countries. This alliance will provide customers with a viable option that has unique strengths on either side of the border.”

“Historically, North American customers have had a limited choice for suppliers of their powertransmission and motioncontrol products,” added Steve Smidler, Kaman’s President. “This alliance gives customers an alternative, and an opportunity to benefit from both companies’ value propositions.” b

tures a maximum platform height of 135 ft (41 m), 69 ft. 9 in (21.3 m) of horizontal outreach, and an unmatched 75 ft (23.0 m) of up-and-over clearance.

The ZX-135/70 features a new and exclusive XChassis design. This revolutionary design provides a wider footprint and reduces occupied floor pressure by 30 percent. The boom lift’s axles extend to a 17 ft. (5.2 m) width and retract to 8 ft. (2.4 m), requiring no overwidth highway permits.

The robust, box-section axles pivot from vertical mounting pins, providing easy and reliable machine set-up, with excellent hose and hard line protection throughout.

The new extending jib is distinctive, providing exceptional access by extending from a retracted length of 12 feet (3.7 m) to an extended length of 20 feet (6.1 m). This new design provides access to “up, over, and in” applica-

tions inaccessible by a traditional jib.

Platform controls have been updated with new toggle switches and a tactile membrane surface, and feature proportional Hall-effect joysticks for all major functions. The advantages of Hall-effect joysticks are that they have fewer moving parts and all adjustments are stored on one control card at the ground control station. The new tri-axis joystick controls the primary boom’s up/down, extend/retract and turntable rotate movements, while a second triaxis joystick controls the jib’s up/down, extend/ retract and platform rotate movements.

The self-supporting cable track has been strengthened with updated hose

Page 7 and cable runs and is capable of supporting platform options such as the heavy duty welder, weld leads, platform work lights and/ or air lines.

The Genie ZX-135 articulating boom lift provides easy access for numerous serviceability points, with hard lines for increased protection. New angle sensors feature larger resolution margins for improved calibration stability.

“The new Genie ZX-135 has been significantly improved and updated, and is clearly the standard of the industry in the large, articulated boom market,” said Krieger. “Customers will experience a new level of aerial boom lift performance, reliability and ease of operation with the new Genie ZX-135.” b

Minister Mackay Announces Improvements To Maitland’s Community Infrastructure Across the country, community centres, cultural centres, hockey rinks, swimming pools, and other community projects are being improved thanks to support from the Government of Canada’s Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF).

As part of the Government’s Economic Action Plan 2012, the Honourable Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defence and Regional Minister for Nova Scotia, recently announced support for the Selma School Cultural Centre on behalf of the Honourable Bernard Valcourt, Associate Minister of National Defence and Minister of State (Atlantic Canada Op-

portunities Agency) (La Francophonie).

“Our Government is pleased to support infrastructure projects across the country like the Selma School Cultural Centre,” said Minister MacKay. “Our government is working hard to upgrade Nova Scotian infrastructure to the benefit of our communities immediately, helping to support job creation, boosting economic activity, as well as creating safe and accessible community infrastructure facilities.”

A federal investment of $2,872 is helping the Association make upgrades to the historic Selma School Cultural Centre, which is managed by the Maitland and District Development Asso-

ciation. The Centre is home to Gallery 215, a well-established, community-owned exhibition space representing 60 emerging and established Nova Scotia artists.

Upgrades include replacing the Centre’s floor along with stringers and joists, installing a gallery-style art hanging system and improving the interior lighting of the facility.

“Gallery 215 offers visitors the chance to experience and enjoy the works of both professional and amateur artists from across our province,” said Anita June Duckenfield, SecretaryTreasurer, Maitland and District Development Association. “We are pleased to make these upgrades to the Cultural Centre to better display those works, and to give our visitors a more enjoyable and memorable experience.”

In Economic Action Plan 2012, the Government of Canada announced further support to help communities across the country modernize their infrastructure, committing $150 million over two years for the Fund.

The Fund supports projects that look to improve existing community infrastructure, such as community centres, recreational buildings, local arenas, cultural and other community facilities.

The Fund supports, on a cost-shared basis, repairs and improvements to existing community infrastructure that is accessible for use by the public. Recipients of the Fund may receive contributions of up to $1 million and must leverage a minimum of 50 per cent of funding from other sources.

Please see the backgrounder for more information on CIIF. b

volvo CE Consolidates uS Production With Backhoe Loader Investment In a bid to streamline production and gain efficiencies of scale, Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) recently announced that, as part of a strengthening of its industrial footprint in the Americas, regional production of backhoe loaders will move from its current production facility, in Tultitlán, Mexico, to a newly enlarged facility in Pederneiras, Brazil.

In addition to local production for the Latin American market, backhoes produced in Pederneiras will be exported to North America and other markets.

As part of a $10 million development, the Pederneiras facility will be extended to accommodate production of Volvo backhoe loaders. Critical componentry will be produced on site, such as dipper, lifting and boom arms, frames and cabs. Ultimately, a significant proportion of backhoe loader content will be either made in-house or sourced locally; supporting

the Brazilian economy as well as reducing currency risk and import duties.

“This decision allows us to take advantage of existing competences and the significant investments we have made in the Pederneiras hub, and further consolidate our industrial footprint in the Americas region,” commented Andy Knight, Volvo CE’s President of Operations in the Americas.

The move of backhoe production to Pederneiras will impact the 115 Volvo CE employees currently working at Tultitlán. A detailed human resources plan has been developed in collaboration with Volvo Bus (which manages the site).

The move of production to Pederneiras will take place progressively throughout 2013.

Introducing The Aggresand System – Washing As It Should Be Terex Washing Systems (TWS) is making final plans to unveil a new innovative washing system, one which is sure to become a global market leader – The AggreSand system. This is the latest addition to an already extensive product portfolio and is due to be officially launched in Quarter 2, 2013. Terex AggreSand system combines aggregate washing and screening with sand processing on a modular chassis. It brings together tried and trusted Terex Washing Systems components in an innovative modular design, setting itself apart from other washing systems in the marketplace.

A gap in the market for such a washing evolution was identified following extensive research, part of which was conducted at the Terex Washing System’s first ever Product Development Forums.

This involved TWS engineers and sales technicians working with the global distributor network to formulate the concept. Central to the development of the new plant was a modular design, pre-wired and preplumbed, making it quick and easy to set-up and easy to maintain. The plant also includes a range of other innovative features and designs.

Sean Loughran, Director of TWS, commented, “The AggreSand system will represent the epitome of washing in the marketplace and is a combination of significant enhancements and design changes to existing products as well as the introduction of new pioneering ideas. In our ongoing efforts to meet and exceed customer expectations, the AggreSand system will enable TWS customers to wash a wide range of materials at a high specification and produce up to 5 products.”

AggreSand System Key Features & Benefits H 12 Hopper TWS designed a new modular hopper feeder with 12m3 capacity, in keeping with ever increasing loading shovel sizes in today’s modern quarries

and sand pits. The H 12 is available with an automatic tipping grid and a 12’ two deck vibrating grid complete with variable speed belt feeder, all controlled from the main operator interface and radio control unit.

Feed Conveyor The wide feed conveyor has a direct drive electric motor and gearbox arrangement and will work at a 19° angle when feeding the AggreSand system. The inclined feed conveyor features an innovative sealed wash box at the discharge point to give material a prerinse to pre-condition for screening. The innovative design eliminates splashing at this point and produces an even distribution of material to the full width of the rinsing screen thus utilizing the full screening area.

165R-3 Rinsing Screen TWS opted for the highly efficient 165R-3 (three deck, two bearing) rinsing screen. The screen’s riveted construction reduces the stress associated with welded construction methods. TWS engineers designed this in such a way to isolate the spray bars from all vibration, utilizing high quality rubber gators on the mid and bottom decks. Top deck rubber extensions also prevent overspill or splashing from the top deck screen. The 165R-3 gives a true 80ft2 (7.54m2) of screening area on all three decks. Each deck has eight individually controlled spray bars fitted with polyurethane fan type spray nozzles. An advanced rolling chute arrangement gives the ability to blend top deck and mid deck overflows as well as mid-deck & bottom deck overflows which will prove very useful in construction and demolition recycling applications. The screen is designed to receive standard polyurethane modular screens (woven wire screens option also available) on all decks.

Sump Tank The large capacity split sump tank receives the rinsed fines from the bottom deck screen into either a coarse or fine com-

partment. The course side of the tank has a built-in float system to help equalize the levels in both tanks and prevent overflowing.

Large inspection doors are included in both tanks as well as butterfly valve drains on both sides. The tank is also fitted with anti-turbulence plates and a pump protection system.

Centrifugal Slurry Pumps & Hydrocylones Two centrifugal slurry pumps (Course & Fine) are used to pump material from both sides of the sump tank into two hydrocyclones. The hydrocyclones remove silts and clay (material below 63 micron) which are sent to the water treatment plant. The heavier material (above 63 micron) exits the bottom of the hydrocyclones into a rubberlined box where blending can take place if required.

125 Dewatering Screen The underflow from the hydrocyclones transfers onto a dewatering screen via a discharge box which equally distributes the material across the screen to increase the dewatering screen area. Both materials are dewatered over a 500 micron polyurethane screen to produce two instantly salable grades of sand. The high energy dewatering screen is fitted with two high efficiency counter rotating vibratory motors which remove capillary water to produce two dewatered sands. The rubber lined catchbox under the dewatering screen carries the underflow back to the tank for recirculation through the cyclones.

Integrated Conveyors The AggreSand system has the option of five conveyors, three aggregate and two sand. The 650mm wide conveyors are powered by direct drive electric motors and gearbox arrangements. The 9.3m long conveyors are angled at optimum height for excellent production. The two conveyors have an innovative automated radial wheel drive system that increases stock piling capacity to an amazing 350m3. The conveyors are fitted with high quality teardrop polyure-

thane scrapers. The aggregate oversize conveyor has a novel feature whereby it can be placed on either side of the machine in accordance with the customer’s site set-up/preference.

The 4m stock pile height of these conveyors make them ideal for producing generous stock piles or feeding other equipment within the Terex product range.

Accessible Service Areas Maintenance and access was of critical importance during the design process of the AggreSand system, and this has been achieved through a number of advanced features. There are 600mm wide access platforms on both sides of the machine. This allows easy access to both the rinsing and dewatering screens.

Page 9

All walkways and handrails are galvanized as standard with curved ends and expanded metal floors. The centrifugal slurry pumps are mounted on roll in – roll out tables for ease of access and maintenance. The main feed conveyor section which travels over the aggregate screen is hinged so that it can be raised to allow greater screen access.

The rinsing screen has a roll away chute to also allow for easy access to all screen decks. The plant is also fitted with a high pressure retractable wash down hose. If required, the spraybars can be easily removed for maintenance purposes.

The pumps on the plant are fitted with drains for drainage in frosty conditions to virtually eliminate downtime. The AggreSand sys-

tem is supplied with integrated prewired 4x500watt metal halide flood lights controlled via photocell and mounted on winch controlled hinged poles for ease of maintenance.

Cutting Edge Control System TWS has developed an advanced and cutting edge user-friendly control system. The AggreSand system will give operators levels of automation and control not previously available on wash plants.

TWS has utilized PLC technology which has already been field proven within the wider Terex crushing and screening plants. The control system will provide measurement and control in terms of belt speed, water pressure, pump pressures, etc. b

CCNB Launches Training In Forest Trucking Training in forest trucking was recently launched at the Polyvalente Alexandre-J.Savoie in Saint-Quentin.

The program, the only one of its kind offered in French in the Maritimes, is the result of a partnership between the Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour, the Collège communautaire du NouveauBrunswick (CCNB), and the Centre de formation en Transport de Charlesbourg (CFTC).

Upon completion of 12 weeks of training, including a four-week practicum, students will receive joint certification from the college and the CFTC. They will also receive a Class 1 driver’s licence, which authorizes the holder to drive a truck tractor.

“The provincial government is pleased to contribute to this training initiative,” said Post-Secondary Education, Train-

ing and Labour Minister Danny Soucy. “Through this partnership with the college, we can offer our employment services clients training in a high-demand field in the region.”

The training is already a success. The 12 spaces available filled-up fast, and some students already have job opportunities lined up upon completion of the program.

“One of the attractions of this program is the combination of theory in the classroom and practical training on the simulator and on the road during the practicums,” said Liane Roy, President and Chief Executive Officer of the CCNB. “This training will help students enter the labour market quickly and efficiently. The new customized training shows that the college is keeping up with industry and is able to adapt its training to

meet the needs, in this case an urgent need, in the transportation and forestry fields.”

A study of labour needs in the forestry sector carried out in the spring of 2012 showed major gaps in several areas, including transportation.

The CCNB is a college corporation that is focused on its student population but with an open world view. It contributes to the development of individuals and of Acadian and francophone society by offering more than 95 technical and vocational training programs on its five campuses to meet labour market needs. In 20112012, the college accepted more than 8,000 students in its regular and continuing education programs, and achieved a placement rate of 85 per cent of graduates in the year following graduation. As an entrepreneurial and innovative college, CCNB adapts to socio-economic conditions, supports the activities of applied research, and encourages innovation. b

Front Page Story

Mining Chromite At Black Thor Cliffs Natural Resources is currently proposing the development of a new chromite mine, which, upon gaining approval, would be the only mine of its kind in the Western hemisphere. By Mark Wolfe.

C

hromite is a mineral that can be upgraded and smelted to make ferrochrome, an indispensable ingredient in the production of stainless steel. The proposed Black Thor deposit is located in a remote part of Northern Ontario, 550 kilometres northeast of Thunder Bay. The area is so isolated that a 340-kilometre road must be constructed to access the site. “This is going to be a mine of a large scale, so it’s going to be a challenge to do,” says Jack Tuomi, Mine General Manager, Cliffs Chromite Ontario Inc., Cliffs Natural Resources. “Before we pull the trigger, we’ll be sure that we can deliver.”

The Black Thor deposit will be the first site developed using an open-pit mining operation. Tuomi says that they will mine the chromite, eliminate the im-

purities and upgrade it into a concentrate, ship it to a furnace they plan to build near Sudbury, smelt it into ferrochrome, and sell it to stainless steel producers around the world.

In addition to approximately 30 years of open-pit mining at the Black Thor deposit, other estimates include: • Production at the openpit mine of about 3.7-million tonnes annually of crude ore for delivery to an on-site concentrator.

• A processing facility expected to produce up to 2.3-million tonnes annually of lump and fines chromite concentrate.

• A ferrochrome facility designed to produce 560,000 tonnes annually of high-carbon ferrochrome.

Although the total value of the new mine will be

The Point Lepreau Generating Station Is Seismically Robust And Safe NB Power takes exception to comments made recently about the safety of the Point Lepreau Generating Station (PLGS) by the Conservation Council of New Brunswick (CCNB) Action Committee.

“These comments are misleading and attempt to undermine public trust in nuclear safety regulation and in the Point Lepreau Generating Station,” said Sean Granville, Site Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer. “The nuclear industry is one of Canada’s most closely regulated industries and its safety record is excellent and very transparent to the public. The people of New Brunswick can take great confidence in the safety of Point Lepreau.”

The Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission

(CNSC) regulatory framework relies, in part, on International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines. On the basis of that framework, the CNSC sets licensing conditions for PLGS, which also includes meeting various Canadian standards. The Station meets or exceeds the specifications required under its federal licence.

Comments made by CCNB take highly technical seismic data about Point Lepreau out of context.

“We understand that the CCNB is not in favor of nuclear power and they of course are entirely entitled to hold that opinion,” said Granville. “However, NB Power is fully committed to operating the Station in a safe and responsible manner while meeting all licence and safety requirements.”

Continued on page 12

unknown until production begins, Tuomi anticipates over 1,000 construction jobs will be created as a result of the project. Once the mine is operational in 2016, approximately 1,200 permanent jobs will be created, with 400 working at the smelter near Sudbury, and the remaining 800 working at the mine itself, at the concentrator, on the road, and at the trans-load facility in Northern Ontario. “We expect to invest nearly $3.5 billion between the mine, concentrator, road, trans-load facility, and smelter, making this one of the largest private-sector projects in the history of Ontario,” he says.

The project will require the use of large mining

equipment, equipment that will include rotary drills that can create 12-inch diameter blast holes, hydraulic front shovels with 26-cubic-metre buckets, 290-tonne payload capacity haul trucks, a large-wheel loader, and a fleet of large bulldozers and graders.

“We have many engineers and scientists working on this project, we are in the feasibility stages now, and we’re excited,” Tuomi says. “If we can get this permitted and if the economics look good, we will hopefully see a mine actually come about there in the foreseeable future.” b

As stated by the CNSC, all Canadian nuclear power plants, existing or new, are licensed on the basis of their proven ability to withstand seismic events like earthquakes.

Structures and systems have been designed to safely survive earthquakes and the CNSC ensures that all nuclear power plant licensees comply with regulatory requirements. In Canada, reactor sites are geologically screened to ensure they are constructed in a location that is seismically stable.

PLGS is located in an area of much lower seismic hazard risk than Fukushima. It is well within the North American plate and not located at a subduction tectonic plate boundary as is the case in Japan. The Station was designed to withstand potential earthquakes; both the actual structures that form containment and the systems important to safety have been

seismically qualified prior to being granted a licence to operate. In addition, a number of upgrades to the plant were made as part of the recent Refurbishment Project to further enhance seismic safety.

When the CNSC renewed PLGS’s Power Reactor Operating Licence in February 2012, the Commission made the completion of a sitespecific seismic hazard assessment a condition of the Station’s licence renewal.

Since early 2012, PLGS staff have worked with experts on the sitespecific seismic hazard assessment.

Seasonal factors make it impossible to complete all data gathering until the summer of 2013, which means the final assessment report will be issued in 2014. Meanwhile, the preliminary findings offer reassurance about the safety of the Station.

Data included in this study is highly technical information, and NB Power – in report-

ing to the CNSC - relies on independent, highly qualified experts to conduct this type of work.

Additionally, the assessment is reviewed by an independent panel of experts.

Preliminary findings of the seismic assessment received from third-party experts in December 2012 indicate that the current understanding of the earthquake hazard for the Point Lepreau site is not substantially different than that presented in a 1984 study.

More information on the preliminary findings is available here.

Based on these findings; we are confident that the original safety case for PLGS remains as strong today as it was when the Station was constructed.

The Station is sound and will continue to operate safely. New Brunswickers should be assured that NB Power takes its responsibilities to the people of New Brunswick as its utmost priority and puts the safety of employees and the public above everything else. b

u-Anchor 2000 Part Of New York’s Largest Rooftop Solar Projects The U-Anchor 2000 rooftop attachment products from Anchor Products, LLC of Grapevine, Texas, have been installed on the i.Park Hudson rooftop solar project — one of New York State’s largest rooftop solar projects.

The electric power generated by the photovoltaic array will serve a significant portion of the energy needed for the tenants of the 24-acre technology, office and industrial complex in Yonkers, N.Y. The project is scheduled to start producing electricity by Jan. 31. The rooftop solar array is the equivalent in area of two football fields and was developed by Chicago-based Half Moon Ventures. The building is owned by Joe Cotter, principal of real estate development firm National Resources of Greenwich, CT. Local dignitaries, including Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano, attended a ribbon cutting ceremony Dec. 6 at the Yonkers property, on the rooftop of one of eight buildings within the complex. The buildings are covered with 3,700 so-

lar panels and will generate power equivalent to the daily electricity needs of 120 homes.

“We were very excited to play our part in anchoring the solar racking system for this massive photovoltaic electric power generating system,” said Anchor Product’s President Joel Stanley. He added, “Our U-Anchor product has already protected this multi-million dollar solar investment from Superstorm Sandy and will continue to support this photovoltaic system for many decades to come.”

Anchor Products’ U-Anchor 2000 rooftop attachment product provided ballast-free, non-penetrating roof membrane attachment of solar module racking systems and other rooftop equipment. The patented U-Anchor 2000 is a lightweight equipment attachment system consisting of a weatherized steel plate with a 3/8” by ¾” tall stainless steel stud, which has been heat fused to a 16 inch by 16 inch (40 cm by 40 cm) thermoplastic (PVC or TPO roofing membrane) target.

The U-Anchor 2000 attachment is designed to be installed without fasteners and is a highly wind-resistant enhancement for solar panel racking installations. It comes with an industry standard material warranty and third-party independent testing of the product by Trinity ERD found it has approximately 1,000 lbs of ultimate load capacity.

The U-Anchor 2000 does not require roof membrane penetrations and can be used with or without ballasted photovoltaic panel racking systems. According to the Kraft Roofing, which was the roofing contractor for the Yonkers project, they were able to avoid extensive crane fees and a large staging area for storing and hoisting ballast to the roof.

The U-Anchor 2000 weighs only 8 ounces and they were easily carried to the roof.

The U-Anchor 2000 can be welded to any Thermoplastic surface from flat to vertical with a hot air welder at a rate of 12 attachments per man hour, saving on labour costs.

The U-Anchor 2000 can also attach lightning protection equipment, electrical conduit, plumbing pipes, HVAC ducting, satellite dishes, windscreens, antennas, and mechanical system components, among many others. For more details, visit www.

Shell To Develop Two Additional Natural Gas For Transport Corridors In North America Shell and its affiliates plan to bring Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) fuel one step closer for its marine and heavy-duty onroad customers in North America by taking a final investment decision on two small-scale liquefaction units. These two units will form the basis of two

new LNG transport corridors in the Great Lakes and Gulf Coast regions.

This decision follows an investment decision in 2011 on a similar corridor in Alberta, Canada. Shell is also working to use natural gas as a fuel in its own operations.

“Natural gas is an

abundant and cleanerburning energy source in North America, and Shell is leveraging its LNG expertise and integrated strength to make LNG a viable fuel option for the commercial market,” said Marvin Odum, President, Shell Oil Company. “We are investing now in the

infrastructure that will allow us to bring this innovative and cost-competitive fuel to our customers.”

In the Gulf Coast Corridor, Shell plans to install a small-scale liquefaction unit (0.25 million tons per annum) at its Shell Geismar Chemicals facility in Geismar, Louisiana, in the United States. Once operational, this unit will supply LNG along the Mississippi River, the Intra-Coastal Waterway and to the offshore Gulf of Mexico and the onshore oil and gas exploration areas of Texas and Louisiana. To service oil and gas and other industrial customers in Texas and Louisiana, Shell is expanding its existing relationship with fuels and lubricants re-seller Martin Energy Services, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Martin Resource Management Corporation (MRMC).

MRMC and its publicly traded affiliate, Martin Midstream Partners L.P. will provide terminalling, storage, transportation and distribution of LNG.

Shell has a memorandum of understanding with Edison Chouest Offshore companies (ECO) to supply LNG fuel to marine vessels that operate in the Gulf of Mexico and to provide what is anticipated to be the first LNG barging and bunkering operation in North America at Port Fourchon, Louisiana. The LNG transport barges will move the fuel from the Geismar production site to Port Fourchon where it will be bunkered into customer vessels.

In the Great Lakes Corridor, Shell plans to install a small-scale liquefaction unit (0.25 million tons per annum) at its Shell Sarnia Manufacturing Centre in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

Once operational, this project will supply LNG fuel to all five Great Lakes, their bordering U.S. states and Canadian provinces and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The Interlake Steamship Company is expected to be the first marine customer in this region, as it begins the conversion of its vessels.

Pending final regulatory permitting, these two

new liquefaction units are expected to begin operations and production in about three years.

Shell is also working to use LNG as a fuel in its own operations or to support its operations.

• Offshore Support Services: Shell has chartered three dual-fuel offshore support vessels (STX SV310DF) from Harvey Gulf International Marine utilizing Wärtsilä engine and LNG system technology. These vessels will be used to support Shell’s operations in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

• Onshore Production: Shell has also begun to transition many of its onshore drilling rigs and hydraulic fracturing spreads to LNG. These conversions can reduce fuel costs and local emissions.

Given Shell’s leading expertise across the LNG value chain and its competitive position in the commercial fuel market, this extension into the North American market is a good fit for Shell and its customers. b

Miller Introduces Narrow AirCooled Induction Heating Blankets Miller Electric Mfg. Co. has introduced new narrow air-cooled induction heating blankets for weld preheating in pipeline applications with the ProHeat 35 induction heating system. The new narrow blankets are 4-1/4 inches wide by either 160 or 185 inches

long, and are designed specifically for 48and 56-inch-diameter pipes, respectively.

Induction heating is used in pipeline applications to help drive out moisture and reduce hydrogen-induced cracking. The induction blankets are wrapped around the pipe and do not

themselves heat up, as they create eddy currents that generate heat inside the part. This process ultimately proves faster and safer, provides more uniform heating and requires fewer consumables than other heating methods such as propane or resistance heating. It also presents less opportunity to damage coatings and insulation than these other processes, as the heat is limited to the targeted area.

The narrow blan-

Page 15

kets were designed specifically for the pipeline construction industry and should be used in pairs to achieve the full output capabilities of the ProHeat 35 induction heating system. The narrow construction of these blankets will provide flexibility in how they’re able to be placed with respect to space, providing easier access in both manual and automated welding applications. b
