weeks before the sailing yachts arrived. Dozens of buildings are assembled and lifted into the air in a few days, including several hospitality tents, an exploratory children’s center, a pavilion, a movie theater, a concert hall and many more. Racers were extremely grateful for and amazed by Newport’s hospitality. “It’s you against the competition,” said Foster. “Temperature, wind, waves breaking. You’re successful if you can handle those elements. Twenty-seven days without a shower, 24/7 on the water, away from your family for months. It’s amazing, and we are excited to be the sponsor of this race.” Volvo bought the rights from Whitfield in 1999. The first official Volvo race was 2000 to 2001. “The boats left seven months ago. They stop at five continents,” said Foster. “They cross four oceans, with more than 200 days on the water.” As Volvo guests and media stepped aboard the Alvimedica, New Zealand bowman Dave Swete, greeted them with a tour. He showed them the email video system on board, where a crew member, specially designated to give live updates of the race, would broadcast over the web to shore bloggers following the race on social media up to the second. “We broadcast live and gave live interviews to a bar in Newport. There is no internet, but we have emails. It keeps us in a good mood as well,” said Swete. “We were in doldrums in Tahiti, near Antarctica, pretty isolated down there. It’s nice to talk to people out there. Sometimes, you get the feeling that no one is watching you and someone says over the wire, ‘we’re watching you.’ We were streaming threeminute videos and seven photos a day for the worldwide media and our site.” The six remaining boats (one went aground early in the race and could not continue) require four hours racing on board, and four hours off. Crew members constantly shift from bed to stern and back again in a perfectly timed rhythm. The sleeping quarters are very small and slightly claustrophobic. “The keel is automatic. Everything else is manual,” said Swete. “Your legs stiffen. When we get ashore, we do a lot of squats and cycling. Our legs are gone. You only walk 200 feet. It’s the only exercise we get.” Swete regaled the press with media stories — how one reporter fell out of the bunk and broke his arm. “There was this other reporter. He was on the toilet,” said Swete. “We hit a wave and he wasn’t on the toilet anymore.” Native Newporter Nick Dana is the other bowman, alongside Swete. Coming into his hometown was a tremendous thrill from Brazil before heading out to Portugal and Sweden for the ninth and final leg. But there was an even greater thrill for Dana. “Rounding Cape Horn [the southernmost tip of South America] we were in first place. It was the hardest stretch of ocean to get there, finishing the first leg. Any time you have the lead, that’s your favorite part,” said Dana. “We came in fifth here. We couldn’t catch up around Block Island. There was no wind. “Coming to Newport, I know the water so well. But there was no wind. The tide was going out. It took us two-and-ahalf-hours to get from Castle Hill to Fort Adams. That’s just 500 yards. It was agonizing and very frustrating,” he added. see VOLVO page 14

R & H Gorr Adds Komatsu With Rototilt Attachment to Fleet R & H Gorr Inc., a trucking and excavating company based in Callicoon, N.Y., was established by Ron and Herbert Gorr in 1961 and is currently operated by Ron’s son, Mike Gorr. While the trucking portion of the business is mainly stone and black top with a fleet of six tractor trailers and six triaxles, the excavating work includes, but not limited to, residential and commercial site prep and clearing, foundation and pads, retaining walls, septic and drainage systems, and driveways and ponds. Gorr’s current excavator fleet includes a Komatsu PC78, a Kubota KX121, a Kobelco 210 and a Komatsu PC210 equipped with a Rototilt attachment. After watching Rototilt in action at ConExpo in 2014, Mike Gorr purchased a Komatsu PC210 equipped with a Rototilt model RT60B attachment from Mike Chason of Pine Bush Equipment. Rototilt also supplied a universal ditching bucket, a general purpose digging bucket and a multiuse by-pass type grapple.

Volvo Urges Congress to Restore Highway Funding

The worst part of the trip was an early leg, Dana added, when one of the boats hit a reef and were stranded, breaking apart. “You can’t turn back. You can’t not do it. We watched the boat on the rocks and couldn’t do a thing,” he said. “It was difficult to watch and not help. Life is paramount, but we couldn’t get to their side of the island.” They knew Newport would be welcoming, but they didn’t know how much. “It’s been great,” said Swete, who hasn’t seen his infant in many months. “The people have been fantastic and we’d like to return in 2018 if race officials let us. They don’t map out the new course yet.” “We had no idea it would be this big,” added Dana. “I’m very proud.” The successful Alvimedica 35-ft. (10.6 m) yacht is propelled by a Volvo engine of course. Volvo’s Double Density Paving Technology Among the innovations discussed at the May 15 conference in Newport, R.I. was Volvo’s launch of the Intelligent Compaction System with real-time asphalt density calculations. Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) recently introduced the Volvo Intelligent Compaction (for select Volvo asphalt compactors available on both the Volvo IC and the Volvo IC with Density Direct) at the World of Asphalt in Nashville, Tenn. Volvo IC with Density Direct includes the industry’s first real-time density mapping technology. “Density mapping has been described as the ‘holy grail’ of intelligent compaction. The first to come up with the technology will be the one to radically advance the paving industry, it was said, and that’s exactly what Volvo has done,” said Fares Beainy, research engineer of Volvo CE. “For years, contractors have relied on IC systems with stiffness calculations instead of density, which is not the true metric by which

Tour guides provide guests a chance to follow the nine-leg race around the world, sponsored by Volvo.

contractors are evaluated and paid. With Density Direct, operators have real-time access to the metric that ultimately determines the success of their work and density. Included with the Density Direct system is a calibration screen, where users set the target density for the project. Once fully calibrated with data specific to the application, the system produces a calculation that is accurate to within 1.5 percent of core sampling.

“This provides a real-time reading of density values over 100 percent of the mat.” This real-time data enables the operator a chance to make any necessary adjustments while asphalt is being paved. According to Volvo CE, this not only reduces the occurrence of inadequate densities that drive up project costs, but see VOLVO page 16

Better Technology Meets Customers’ Needs VOLVO from page 14

reduces time spent taking core samples, improves quality and leads to much greater uniformity than nuclear gauge testing. This service will be available in the fourth quarter of this year on new Volvo asphalt compactors, initially including Volvo DD110B, DD120B and DD140B sold in North America. The new compaction system is the result of a decade-long partnership with the University of Oklahoma’s School of Electrical Engineering. “Volvo has been a fantastic partner; not only have they provided insight into the market and equipment, but they have also helped us with filing patents,” said Dr. Sesh Commuri, the Gerald Tuma presidential professor at the University of Oklahoma’s School of Electrical Engineering “Thanks to the partnership, we were able to develop, test and make commercial products that require a lot more capability than what the university has.” “For Volvo, the partnership was great because it gave us access to multi-disciplinary expertise and skills,” said Beainy. Volvo CE has a long-standing tradition of partnering with universities worldwide on groundbreaking research. Two current partnerships, with Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University, are exploring emerging technologies to create a future fleet of innovative construction equipment. “You can’t ask someone else to tell you what the future will look like. You need to create it yourself,” said Jenny Elfsberg, director of emerging technologies of Volvo CE, who led the May 15 afternoon conference in Newport. “We work together with partners, customers, competitors and academia to do just that.” Urge Congress to Invest in Highways Göran Lindgren, president and CEO Volvo CE North America told attendees to the event that Volvo North America sales were up eight percent and that sales in Europe were up some 10 percent, on top of a 22 percent gain last year. This improvement, despite a five percent drop in the worldwide market due mainly to losses in sales in China, Lindgren said. “We had 39 product launches in 2015,” said Lindgren. “And we also had a successful launch of T4 engines. We have improved productivity and fuel efficiency in our machinery across the board.” Lindgren said that Volvo CE is meeting customer demands in many new ways, especially in the use of better technology and fairer prices in rental fleets of used equipment, keeping customer project costs down.

“We are building a new warehouse in Memphis, Tenn., that will be one million square feet,” said Lindgren. “We will be moving in July to August. From that hub, we can get to anywhere in North America in just a few hours, or into Latin America.” A new database and technology advancements will give the customer the ability to see the history of each piece of previously run equipment, and how the machines are driven. “They can see data going way back. They can see how much the machine has been driven. When was it backed up? What repairs? It is a great tool for us, providing key information for the customer,” said Lindgren. “This is what the customer has been asking for. We understand this and we are now offering it.” Lindgren added that after the economic downturn of 2008, many construction companies and individuals were gun shy to purchase new equipment; there is preference now to building their own rental fleet of machinery, earth movers, dozers and loaders. “Does the brand play a role in the rental industry? I think it does,” said Lindgren. “I think our brand does.’ Lindgren also said that Volvo is immersed in lobbying Congress to restore national highway funding. “There is no funding in the bills now,” he said. “This remains critical. The price in oil and gas is causing uncertainty. There are environmental concerns. The frustrating thing is, they know what to do in Washington, D.C., but they can’t get it done. It is critically important to get that new highway bill passed. “We’ve been here before. If oil prices remain in the $60 a barrel range, it’s good for

the consumer at the pump,” said Lindgren. “For us in the industry, it will be okay, but many companies are scared.” “We have to encourage Congress to pass a long-term highway bill,” he said. “Traffic congestion costs consumers $121 billion a year. Capital spending on highways and roads has fallen each year. We urge infrastructure investments while fostering effective transportation methods. Ultimately, we would urge the passage of a highway user fee. This would go a long way to solve the problem and invest in highway construction long-term.” (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Vt. Town’s Famous Floating Bridge Reopens Mountaintop By Lisa Rathke ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROOKFIELD, Vt. (AP) A tiny Vermont town’s famous wooden floating bridge — believed to be the only one of its kind in the country — has been rebuilt and was reopened May 23 with fanfare, including a parade with a bagpiper, high school marching band, oxen team, horses and antique cars crossing the new span. Just not all at once. The Brookfield bridge on Route 65 — a state highway that is unpaved through the village — had been closed for seven years after its floatation system started to fail, causing it to be partially submerged. Residents are excited about having the one-lane bridge across Sunset Lake opened again to vehicles and pedestrians as summer approaches in the community of 1,200, where historic homes dot the landscape along the picturesque water. The bridge has now been replaced seven times and the parade will be staggered to avoid, for the time being at least, an eighth. “We’re just thrilled to see it open,’’ said Jane Doerfer, owner of the Green Trails Inn, across the street from the bridge, which often gets business from

tourists who come to see the bridge and then decide to stay overnight. She lost a lot of business when the bridge closed but said she would rather focus on the good news that the new bridge is complete. The first floating bridge was built in 1820, by townspeople who strapped together logs on the top of the frozen lake, after a man drowned walking across the ice, said Perry Kacik, chairman of the Brookfield Floating Bridge Celebration Committee. When the ice melted, a crude floating bridge was left behind. As the bridge was rebuilt over the last nearly two centuries, technology improved. In the last bridge water started to leak into the barrels beneath the decking and waterlog the foam inside them causing the bridge to sink slightly to the point where there was often a puddle of water in the middle of it, Kacik said. If vehicles were traveling too fast they risked splashing pedestrians walking across the 318-ft.long bridge on its elevated sidewalks. The new bridge is made of pontoons and is completely above water. The $2.4 million project was covered by 80 percent federal funds and 20 percent state funding. There are two other floating bridges

in Washington state, though they are much larger and not wooden, according to Jennifer Fitch, a structures project manager with the Vermont Transportation Agency. The new Brookfield bridge is designed to last 100 years and has widened sidewalks. “We made sure that this new bridge provides access to everybody,’’ Fitch said. The celebration included food vendors, music, speeches by the governor and U.S. Rep. Peter Welch. A dance in the evening was planned. On May 24, the Flowting Bridge band performed and area farms were open for tours. The bridge is “very important’’ to the community, said Orange County sheriff Bill Bohnyak, a member of the celebration committee. “Number one: It is a state highway so people use it on a regular basis. And many, many people in our community and the surrounding central Vermont come here to fish, swim and in the winter time they do the ice cutting,’’ he said. “It’s really important here for the little town of Brookfield, one of the few communities that does not have a main street that’s paved,’’ he added. “It’s still dirt and it’s going to continue that way.’’
